Chapter 448: Creating an Immortal
Chapter 448: Creating an Immortal
As Ye Qingsnow listened to her master's praise of Gu An, she felt quite annoyed. She had only met Gu An a few times, but she spent every day with her master.
In her eyes, her master was decisive and swift, wielding immense power, and was the most dominant woman she had ever seen.
She also wanted to become a female cultivator like Ye Lan.
For this reason, seeing Ye Lan flattering Gu An made her very displeased, but in front of her master, she dared not lose her temper.
[Ye Qingsnow has hostile intentions towards you. She wants to beat you up. Do you want to perform a life span scan on her?]
A prompt appeared before Gu An's eyes, causing him to pause. He couldn't help but look at Ye Qingsnow.
Ye Qingsnow was staring at Gu An, and when she noticed his gaze, she became scared and quickly turned her head away. Her face turned red, and even her ears seemed to be dripping blood.
Gu An shook his head and chuckled, not taking her actions to heart.
Why bother with a fourteen-year-old child? Unless it was a killing intent, he wouldn't bother giving it a second thought.
He interacted with people daily, and there were bound to be those who were unhappy with him. He couldn't go around killing people just because they harbored dissatisfaction towards him.
Ye Lan didn't know what Ye Qingsnow was thinking. After saying a few words to her, she approached Gu An.
It was rare for Gu An to come here, and her thoughts were entirely focused on him, even feeling that Ye Qingsnow was somewhat hindering her.
When she saw Ye Qingsnow approaching, Gu An stopped paying attention to Zhu Xhi and focused on chatting with Ye Lan.
Half an hour later, Ye Qingsnow bid farewell and left.
Once her presence faded away, Ye Lan couldn't hold back any longer and rushed towards Gu An.
"Be mindful of your influence. What if your disciple returns and sees this?"
"So what? I'm not afraid of people finding out."
"You're the Law Enforcement Elder now. You must be cautious of your influence!"
"If I lose the position of Law Enforcement Elder because of this, then so be it. Senior Brother, I miss you..."
"That place can't be touched..."
"Senior Brother, you smell so good!"
The autumn wind blew away the withered leaves on the tree, and as the leaves fell to the ground, they rose again, unwilling to give up. After struggling for a long time, they finally fell powerlessly into the corner of the wall.
...
In a dimly lit grand hall, countless shadows were scattered, some human and some demonic, all enveloped in demonic energy, creating a terrifying sight.
Their gazes were fixed on the front, where a red-purple light sphere hovered above a stone platform, revealing a figure within. That figure seemed to be in another world, lazily sitting on a throne made of white bones.
He, too, was surrounded by demonic energy, with only heavy armor visible on his body. At his feet lay a three-tailed black lion with a ferocious face, each tail ending in a snake head that hissed.
He was the Tyrant of the Demon King, the ruler of the Demon King Clan, and the mastermind behind the Demon Sect.
"In other words, you don't know who is behind the Dark Abyss Empire either?"
The voice of the Tyrant of the Demon King resonated from within the red-purple light sphere, his tone icy, causing the hall to fall silent.
A black-robed elder at the front spoke up, "Your Majesty, they are from the Dark Abyss Empire. The Dark Abyss Empire is the Realm of Reincarnation, and it is impossible to gather specific intelligence in the mortal world."
Others echoed his words, as over the years, they had sent numerous spies and even turned some people from the Dark Abyss Empire, but they still couldn't gather any useful information.
The Tyrant of the Demon King remained silent for a while before saying, "What is the attitude of the Dark Abyss Empire?"
A red-clothed woman replied, "They want to collect wraiths and destroy the Heavenly Spirit Great World. In a sense, they are aligned with us, as we also wish to destroy the Heavenly Spirit Great World."
The Tyrant of the Demon King began tapping his fingers on the armrest, which was inlaid with a skull, creating a chilling sound in the hall.
After a long time, the Tyrant of the Demon King finally spoke, "Since that's the case, let's completely unveil the heavenly tribulation and let the Heavenly Spirit Great World experience despair ahead of time."
As his words fell, the three-tailed black lion at his feet raised its head and roared, the sound deafening.
The demons in the hall knelt down, their eyes filled with fanaticism as they gazed at the Tyrant of the Demon King.
...
At the end of the year, snow covered the world, and as it began to melt, the Taixuan Sect started preparing for the Spring Festival.
The Third Medicine Valley was also preparing for the Spring Festival. This year was different from previous years, as it was said that Gu An was preparing a grand event, which made the disciples eagerly anticipate it.
"Come on, tell me what you're up to." Shen Zhen, dressed in a beautiful white dress and a silver jade phoenix crown, urged Gu An.
Gu An, who was writing, casually replied, "You'll know when the time comes."
This made Shen Zhen even more curious, but no matter how much she asked, Gu An refused to reveal anything.
Finding it uninteresting, Shen Zhen stood up and bid farewell.
Not long after she left, Wu Jue also arrived, asking the same question about Gu An's preparations.
N
During this time, many people came to visit Gu An.
Below the tower.
Long Qing held a wooden stick, gazing at the second floor. He asked the Blood Prison Great Sage, "You guard the master every day. Do you have any inside information?"
The Blood Prison Great Sage lay on the ground, glancing at him without responding.
Long Qing squatted down and took out a white jade bottle from his waist pouch. With a mysterious expression, he said, "This is Clear Mind Nectar Jelly, a rare item. I have two bottles, and I'll give you one."
The Blood Prison Great Sage opened his eyes, revealing a smile. "You're thoughtful, little one. In that case, I'll reveal a little. The master wants to create an Immortal Realm existence right here in the valley, in the Third Medicine Valley."
Upon hearing this, Long Qing's eyes widened, and his heart raced. He cautiously asked, "Who will the master choose?"
"That, I don't know."
The Blood Prison Great Sage used his divine sense to open the bottle and drank the nectar inside. His eyes curved into a smile, and he looked extremely pleased.
Long Qing stood up and turned to look towards the second floor, his mind filled with thoughts.
As the Spring Festival approached, rumors began to spread among the lower-ranked disciples of the Taixuan Sect, and soon, even the higher-ups knew that the Dao Support Sword Venerable intended to create an Immortal Dao Realm cultivator.
They didn't spread the news to all the disciples of the Taixuan Sect, but instead suppressed it. After arranging the Spring Festival affairs, they hurried to the main sect, eager to witness the excitement.
It was almost noon.
The Deputy Sect Master, Ji Hantian, entered the valley and was surprised by the bustling scene.
So many people! He even saw the big shots from the aristocratic families, and they seemed to have arrived even faster than him.
As he thought this, he walked towards them. Even though he was the Deputy Sect Master, he proactively greeted the senior cultivators.
At the valley entrance.
Several cultivators approached, among them was Zhu Xhi.
Zhu Xhi wore a set of green robes, and she curiously examined the Third Medicine Valley.
After visiting the Branch Sect of the Taixuan Sect and learning about the relationship between the Taixuan Sect and the Dao Support Sword Venerable, she wanted to establish herself there. So, she came to the main sect and, after inquiring around, decided that the Third Medicine Valley was her top choice, or rather, the first choice for most new disciples.
However, getting into the Third Medicine Valley wasn't easy these days. Zhu Xhi had to send gifts to barely secure the opportunity to visit the valley during the festival.
Walking in front of her was an elder from the Hall of Books, who was introducing the situation in the Third Medicine Valley with great pride, as if he were the valley master himself.
He had a good relationship with Gu An, so being there felt like coming home.
Zhu Xhi was curious about the valley master, Gu An. She had heard that he was a disciple of the Dao Support Sword Venerable, and that he was unassuming, friendly, and very willing to nurture disciples. His reputation within the Taixuan Sect was impeccable, and Zhu Xhi had never heard anyone speak ill of Gu An.
Having traveled the world for hundreds of years, this was the first time she had heard of such a remarkable person. Coupled with the Dao Support Sword Venerable's awe-inspiring battle records, she was excited to meet Gu An.
Zhu Xhi looked around, curious about everything within the Third Medicine Valley.
As they approached the cultivation ground, An Xian suddenly appeared.
The Hall of Books elder, upon seeing An Xian, greeted her enthusiastically. Gu An had introduced An Xian to all his connections in the Taixuan Sect, and they all knew of Gu An's attitude towards An Xian, so they were equally warm towards her.
"Elder Li, today we must drink until we're drunk and not leave until then. My master often mentions you," An Xian said with a smile after bowing.
These words made Elder Li feel much more relaxed, and he straightened his back, stroking his beard and glancing at the disciples beside him. The disciples, in turn, looked at him with admiration.
An Xian turned her gaze to Zhu Xhi and asked with a smile, "May I ask if you are Zhu Xhi, Miss Zhu?"
Zhu Xhi was taken aback, and everyone else, including Elder Li, looked at her in surprise.
"Yes, what is it?" Zhu Xhi asked cautiously. She had already reached the Transcendental Void Realm, and she concealed an even more powerful force, but within the Taixuan Sect, she was cautious, a survival instinct.
An Xian smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. My master asked me to take good care of you. He knew you would come."
"Your master?"
Zhu Xhi became even more nervous. She had encountered many senior cultivators who could divine fate, and she usually kept her distance from them to avoid trouble.
An Xian nodded and said, "My master is the valley master. Let's go, I'll take you to settle in."
After saying this, she bowed to Elder Li and excused herself.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhu Xhi couldn't escape directly, so she had to follow An Xian with a stiff expression.
Elder Li and his disciples were taken aback. Did Zhu Xhi have such a connection?
Elder Li suddenly felt the medicinal herbs he had collected were a bit too hot to handle. But when he thought of Gu An's smile, he felt reassured.
Gu An wasn't a stingy person. At worst, he would return the herbs.
Yes, that's what he would do. Later, he would prepare some gifts for Zhu Xhi and use this opportunity to apologize to Gu An, thereby increasing the chances of further communication.
A smile appeared on Elder Li's face, and he suddenly found Zhu Xhi quite likable.
On the other side.
Zhu Xhi couldn't help but ask why An Xian was looking for her, but An Xian said she didn't know either.
"Don't worry. The fact that your master noticed you means he has a good impression of you. Perhaps he'll even take you as his disciple. Just stay here comfortably, treat it as your home, and if you encounter any problems in the future, you can always come to me. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, I'm the chief disciple of the valley, managing all affairs."
An Xian turned to look at Zhu Xhi and smiled gently.
Zhu Xhi was infected by her smile and developed a favorable impression of her, and the pressure in her heart dissipated.
This junior cultivator had such a pleasant personality; the valley master might indeed be a rare good person.
Zhu Xhi thought this, even though An Xian was only at the Nascent Soul Realm, she didn't underestimate her. Instead, she wanted to become close friends with her.
An Xian thought, "She doesn't seem to know the master. Could she be the descendant of one of the master's old friends?"
She didn't think of Zhu Xhi as a genius, and when she said that Gu An might take Zhu Xhi as his disciple, it was just her habit of making big promises. This was something she had learned from Gu An—saying something nice didn't cost her anything, and it might even help establish closer relationships with others.
The two women continued chatting as they walked.
Under an old tree, Absolute Luo Sword Sovereign stood up and looked at the distant commotion, frowning and muttering, "Noisy!"
Suddenly, he spotted someone and exclaimed in surprise.
It was a white-robed elder, with one hand on a cane and the other resting on his waist. He had just entered the valley and was looking around curiously.
"Freedom Immortal... Cycle Tribulation... This aura feels so familiar, as if I've encountered it somewhere before," Absolute Luo Sword Sovereign pondered, his gaze fixed on the white-robed elder.
The white-robed elder seemed to sense something and turned to look, and when he saw Absolute Luo Sword Sovereign, his white eyebrows furrowed as well.
