Chapter 442: Mountain of Ten Thousand Swords
Chapter 442: Mountain of Ten Thousand Swords
At the northern side of the Third Medicine Valley, Gu An and An Xian stood side by side, watching as their disciples inserted sword after sword into the mountain.
The mountain was devoid of any vegetation, its rocks a stark red. The mountain was not naturally formed but made from a special type of stone that Gu An had purchased, often used for creating formation platforms and magical artifacts.
An Xian turned to Gu An, her curiosity piqued, and asked, "Master, are you creating this Mountain of Ten Thousand Swords to leave behind a legacy?"
Gu An laughed and said, "You'll understand in time."
An Xian found his mysterious response intriguing, making her even more curious about the Mountain of Ten Thousand Swords.
Gu An waved his hand, and a stone tablet flew out, landing in front of the mountain and embedding itself in the soil. He then wrote on the tablet with his finger, inscribing words in the air.
An Xian focused her gaze, and from Gu An's handwriting, she felt a powerful aura that she couldn't describe in words. For some reason, she felt a sense of loneliness.
Mountain of Ten Thousand Swords!
Gu An chose not to write 'Mountain of Ten Thousand Swords Ridge' directly to avoid directly colliding with cause and effect. Omitting a single character seemed excessive, but in reality, it made a world of difference.
There were many Mountains of Ten Thousand Swords Ridge in different worlds, and there were also many Mountains of Ten Thousand Swords.
As the three characters 'Mountain of Ten Thousand Swords' were carved, An Xian suddenly felt a divine presence in the mountain.
Although there were still many disciples inserting swords into the mountain, it made her feel unique.
"Once they're done, no disciples are allowed to step foot here from now on."
With these words, Gu An turned and left.
An Xian remained in her spot, continuing to admire the Mountain of Ten Thousand Swords. She felt that this mountain held hidden secrets.
News of this spread to the Taixuan Sect.
E
At noon one day, outside the Taixuan Sect, An Hao, accompanied by the Absolute Luo Sword Lord, emerged from the forest. He turned to the Absolute Luo Sword Lord and said, "I only know that my master is in the Taixuan Sect, but I'm not sure who he is. If he wants to see you, he will find you. Remember, do not harm the sect's disciples."
The Absolute Luo Sword Lord hummed, "As the Sword Lord of the Great Crane Sword Heaven, how could I possibly harm mortal spirits?"
He transformed into a sword light and flew towards the Taixuan Sect.
An Hao followed, but he couldn't find the Absolute Luo Sword Lord's presence.
So, An Hao decided to visit the Third Medicine Valley to see An Xian first.
Half a stick of incense later, An Hao landed on a mountaintop from which he could overlook the entire Third Medicine Valley.
Compared to many years ago, the Third Medicine Valley was more prosperous and vibrant. Every surrounding mountain was covered with formations, and he could see the valley's disciples working and cultivating.
"It's truly a different place now."
An Hao muttered to himself, his tone filled with emotion.
Suddenly, he felt a sense of panic, fearing that An Xian might no longer be there.
Just as he was about to jump down, he heard a commotion nearby. He glanced over and saw a person and a rat running towards him.
He recognized the rat as Gu An's white spirit rat. There were many in the Taixuan Sect, but he had never seen one as fat as Gu An's. That's why he remembered it.
Behind the White Spirit Rat was a robust young man.
An Hao's eyebrows rose upon seeing him, as the youth bore a striking resemblance to Gu An, causing An Hao to feel a sense of deja vu.
Most importantly, this young man had no trace of spiritual power, but his physique was astonishingly powerful. An Hao even felt that his physique was on par with the Nirvana Realm.
An Hao took an interest in Long Qing. When the White Spirit Rat ran past him, he paid it no mind, keeping his gaze fixed on Long Qing.
Suddenly, the White Spirit Rat stopped, turned its head, and looked at An Hao with suspicion in its eyes.
It felt like it had seen this person somewhere before.
Long Qing noticed An Hao's gaze and slowed his steps. In front of outsiders, he had to maintain his dignity and not embarrass the Third Medicine Valley.
He approached An Hao, clasped his fists, and said with a smile, "I am Long Qing, a disciple of the Third Medicine Valley. I don't know your name, but are you here to enter the Third Medicine Valley?"
The Third Medicine Valley had a significant reputation and high status within the Taixuan Sect. Even as a miscellaneous disciple, Long Qing could face anyone with confidence.
An Hao appraised Long Qing and asked, "What's your relationship with Gu An?"
Upon hearing the direct mention of his master's name, and sensing An Hao's extraordinary demeanor, Long Qing guessed that An Hao had a close relationship with his master. He replied, "He is my master. Are you looking for him? He just went out and should be back before evening. Shall I take you into the valley?"
"Your master? I feel like you're his descendant," An Hao said with a smile.
Hearing this, Long Qing didn't get angry. Many people had said this before, and he had also suspected it himself. However, Gu An had denied any blood relation, and Long Qing could only attribute it to the long time they had spent together, during which he had been influenced by his master's appearance and temperament.
Long Qing shook his head and said, "I'm not, but I wish I was."
An Hao didn't press further and didn't seem to notice the hint of melancholy in Long Qing's tone. With a smile, An Hao said, "Hit me with a punch. If you injure me, I'll teach you a physical divine ability that doesn't require spiritual power to use."
Long Qing frowned and said, "That's not a good idea."
A divine ability?
Am I to treat him as my master?
He had already learned a divine ability from Divine Heart Son, but in his opinion, it wasn't that powerful.
An Hao raised his hand and asked provocatively, "Are you scared? With such a powerful physique, you dare not take action. Aren't you letting down the heavens for not living up to your potential?"
Hearing this, Long Qing's anger rose.
He lifted his right hand and slowly clenched his fist. Visible energy surrounded his fist, and his robe began to flutter as his long hair danced in the wind, and his entire demeanor changed abruptly.
His face turned cold, making An Hao feel that he resembled Gu An even more.
Long Qing said coldly, "If I cripple you, don't regret it later!"
An Hao laughed arrogantly, "Cripple me? Not even if you cultivated for ten thousand years!"
A cold light flashed in Long Qing's eyes, and he took a sudden step forward, his right fist behind him. His body tensed like a drawn bow, and his fist struck from his waist, infusing all his strength into the punch.
He could sense that An Hao was powerful, and to avoid embarrassment, he had to give it his all.
The punch landed with a thunderous roar, startling the Medicine Valley disciples in the distance, whether they were on the mountain or in the valley. They all turned to look in the direction of the sound.
An Xian, who was cultivating under the Tranquil Purity Tree, opened his eyes and looked over, his eyebrows furrowed.
