Chapter 452: Divine Principle Discourse
Chapter 452: Divine Principle Discourse
The Spring Festival at the Third Medicine Valley was a great success, with everyone staying up all night, drinking, exchanging ideas, and growing closer to one another.
Gu An was busy that night, and even though he showed enthusiasm, he could sense that everyone was restrained around him, except for An Xian and Shen Zhen.
Even Wu Jue's attitude had changed compared to before.
Perhaps this was the downside of being too strong.
Gu An stood by the window, seeing his friends off one by one.
The morning sun shone upon them, making it seem like they were wearing cloaks of dawn as they departed.
After a while, Gu An turned around and returned to his desk, starting to write some cultivation books on mental state cultivation. This was because Lu Baitian had expressed his desire the night before to establish a cultivation method for mental training and spread it throughout the Taixuan Sect, helping the sect's disciples have a more solid foundation for their future cultivation.
Gu An offered many suggestions, such as having the master uniformly teach cultivation courses to prevent any disciples from being neglected due to insufficient relationships.
The Taixuan Sect no longer needed to specifically cultivate geniuses; instead, the overall foundation was more important, and this required the joint effort of all disciples.
Having geniuses did not necessarily make a sect powerful, but a sect with mostly outstanding disciples would undoubtedly be strong.
Gu An created a hundred-year cultivation teaching plan for the Taixuan Sect, ensuring that every new disciple would unconditionally receive guidance on the sect's hundred-year cultivation techniques and methods, unless they violated the sect's rules. This guaranteed that every Taixuan Sect disciple would possess remarkable abilities, becoming qualified cultivators.
This plan moved Lu Baitian, although it would require a significant investment. If successful, the Taixuan Sect would undoubtedly become a true Holy Land.
Of course, the most crucial point was that this proposal came from Dao Support Sword Venerable, and Gu An believed that no one would dare to stop it. If resources were lacking, those aristocratic families would eagerly provide them, meaning that as long as they wanted to do it, success was guaranteed.
"I wonder how long the Taixuan Sect will last, but being able to take care of most disciples' entire lives is already a virtuous deed."
Gu An muttered to himself, feeling pleased.
He now valued the intangible more than benefits.
Having inherited so many life cycles, he had gained many insights, and he also wanted to distill insights from his own life.
The path to the Great Dao was long and arduous, and insights into it couldn't be directly enhanced by lifespan alone. However, with the ability to evolve his lifespan, he could have more time to gain insights into the Great Dao.
The spring breeze blew in through the window, stirring the blue flower on the small altar on the table.
The flower swayed, as if time itself was waving goodbye, reminding all living beings that youth was fleeting and would never return.
...
Time passed, and another hundred years went by.
On this day, Gu An walked through the streets of the outer city, followed by the Blood Prison Great Sage, who had transformed into a tall and wild figure with aggressive eyes that drew attention. However, many people were looking at Gu An instead of him.
Along the way, people enthusiastically greeted Gu An, and he nodded in response. Those disciples who hadn't seen him before asked others about him.
"He's the Valley Master of the Third Medicine Valley, Gu An, rumored to be Dao Support Sword Venerable."
"What? Is he the legendary Dao Support Sword Venerable?"
"I'm not sure, but I remember he was probably Dao Support Sword Venerable's disciple. Anyway, he can represent Dao Support Sword Venerable."
"The Taixuan Sect's hundred-year teaching method was his suggestion. All of you younger generations should be grateful to him. Otherwise, if you joined the sect without talent, you'd have to rely on connections or battle to cultivate the Dao."
"The hundred-year teaching method was his idea? Then he indeed deserves such treatment. We all owe him a debt of gratitude."
Wherever Gu An went, people nearby discussed the hundred-year teaching method. The Taixuan Sect quickly promoted this throughout the world, reaching both domestic and foreign lands. Even disciples from other sects had to praise the Taixuan Sect for its grand-sect style, and some sects wanted to learn from it but faced internal resistance.
Within the same sect, not all those in power wanted all disciples to succeed. They valued their interests more, and the hundred-year teaching method would affect their interests, so they couldn't agree.
In no time, conflicts between aristocratic families and sects broke out everywhere, with some places turning into rivers of blood and others filled with hidden undercurrents.
The world remained in chaos, and Gu An couldn't possibly manage the entire world. Being able to take care of the Taixuan Sect was already impressive.
[Name: Gu An]
[Lifespan: 1, 100/3, 391, 514, 220]
[Constitution: Primordial Dao Golden Body]
[Cultivation: Perfected Freedom Immortal Realm]
……
3.3 billion years of lifespan! Gu An felt content. Time was passing by faster and faster for him, and he didn't bother to expand or enlarge Medicine Valley to seize lifespans. Only his true self could do it, not his puppets or clones. Without hatred, there was no need for him to focus all his energy on taking lifespans.
Moreover, the more he attracted attention, the more likely he was to provoke greater crises. Currently, the increase in lifespan satisfied him. He could obtain lifespans steadily and still have time to enjoy life. Such a cultivation life couldn't be more wonderful.
Since Blood Prison Great Sage had recovered his cultivation, he began to experience Gu An's joy.
A plain life wasn't necessarily dull, and constant fighting shouldn't be the entirety of cultivation.
When Gu An entered the Hall of Books, Blood Prison Great Sage didn't follow him in but instead wandered in front of the hall's entrance.
With his long horns and blood-red hair, he attracted attention wherever he went. Although the Taixuan Sect had many demon disciples, few demons could match his bold and awe-inspiring aura.
He brazenly displayed his Loose Immortal aura, making others curious about his cultivation.
Within the Taixuan Sect, even when encountering Immortal Path cultivators, the disciples wouldn't panic. They believed that no Immortal Path cultivator would dare to cause trouble here, as they had true Immortal Path experts protecting them.
This time, Gu An came to the Hall of Books not to publish a book but to buy one. The Hall of Books was helping him collect rare books from all over, and he didn't refuse.
With his cultivation, he could have divined the future, but he didn't. He preferred the feeling of flipping through books. Even with power surpassing the Heavenly Spirit Great World, he tried to retain his mortal habits as much as possible.
Over the years, apart from the growth in lifespan, his insights into cause and effect and fate had deepened. He could display even stronger abilities with the two Great Dao techniques, and this was the benefit of living amidst the mortal world.
Compared to divination, interacting and socializing with people allowed him to better understand others' emotions and their insights into life.
Upon learning of Gu An's arrival, the elders of the Hall of Books eagerly surrounded him, enthusiastically recommending the rare books they had acquired. Gu An asked them to take their time, and he would stay for an hour.
Hearing that Gu An would stay for an hour, everyone calmed down, their smiles never fading.
They began recommending books according to their seniority, and Gu An listened attentively. The first few books didn't capture his interest.
"Brother Gu, this book is extraordinary. No one knows its origin. It suddenly appeared in the overseas lands and was praised by many. Some say this book can predict the future."
An elder took out a blue-covered book and spoke mysteriously.
Gu An looked at the book's cover and saw three words.
Divine Principle Discourse!
Gu An raised his hand and took the book into his hand. The elder wasn't surprised, already accustomed to his methods, and continued to introduce the commotion caused by the Divine Principle Discourse.
Gu An was immediately drawn in as he flipped to the first page.
Divine Principle, the extinction of all beings becomes the Divine Principle, the fall of the Great Dao becomes the Divine Principle!
Was this a book criticizing the Divine Principle?
Gu An became even more curious and continued reading, wanting to see how the book predicted the future.
More than one elder had heard of the Divine Principle Discourse. According to them, there were only nine genuine copies of the Divine Principle Discourse, and the rest were imitations. Obtaining the Divine Principle Discourse could bring extraordinary power, but it might also bring calamity, and one might even die and disappear from the Dao. It was truly unpredictable.
After a while, Gu An closed the Divine Principle Discourse and smiled, saying, "This book is good. I'll take it. In the future, if you find any more copies of the Divine Principle Discourse, please give them to me."
Upon hearing this, the elder immediately beamed with joy, patting his chest in agreement.
Gu An didn't ask for anything in return. Being able to befriend Gu An was the greatest reward.
Claiming to be Gu An's friend, who in the Taixuan Sect would dare not give him face? If someone dared to impersonate him, cultivators would come knocking on their door. It was said that the Taixuan Sect had established a Secret Chamber, which included overseeing this matter, preventing anyone from damaging Gu An's or Dao Support Sword Venerable's reputation.
Gu An asked them to bring out the books they had prepared, not wanting to waste their good intentions.
In the end, Gu An left the Hall of Books accompanied by the crowd.
When Blood Prison Great Sage saw Gu An coming out, he immediately hurried over.
Gu An glanced at him and said, "You're already a Loose Immortal. Don't bother with him."
Blood Prison Great Sage, who had just bought a rare treasure, smiled awkwardly and coughed lightly, saying, "I was just playing with him. I treat him like a child. How could I bully him?"
The child he referred to was the White Spirit Rat.
