Chapter 470: The Perfected Realm, Sword Dao Sage
Chapter 470: The Perfected Realm, Sword Dao Sage
Gu An watched as Ye Lan floated into the reincarnation vortex, his divine consciousness not retracting but instead tracking her all the way into the vortex. Only after Ye Lan was absorbed by the Cycle Law into the Great Dao did he finally retract his divine consciousness.
He stood in place, continuing to gaze at Ye Lan's tombstone.
After a long while, An Xian came to his side and asked, "Master, are you okay?"
Gu An turned around, stretched lazily, and smiled, "I was just thinking about the past. Let's go, it's time to head back to the valley."
An Xian nodded and accompanied him back to the valley.
"Master, I've made arrangements. From now on, a female disciple will guard Senior Sister's tombstone day and night."
"Good, you're thoughtful. Don't mistreat her."
"I definitely won't mistreat her. By the way, Master, there's a rumor spreading outside that Holy Heaven is about to return, and the Immortal Dynasty will be defeated. Is that true?"
An Xian changed the topic, fearing that Gu An would be saddened.
Gu An, who could hear her inner thoughts, wanted to laugh. This wasn't his first time experiencing the pain of separation, why would he be sad?
Moreover, he and Ye Lan would meet again someday.
Gu An replied, "Holy Heaven will indeed return, but as for when, it's hard to say for now. The Cycle Law obscures cause and effect, and no one can foresee it. But one thing is certain, the Immortal Dynasty is still a long way from defeat."
Four hundred and twenty years passed, and the human world was no longer in chaos due to the Heavenly Demons. The Demon Sect had ceased to exist, but the Dark Profound Divine Dynasty remained. However, the Dark Profound Divine Dynasty had already submitted to the Immortal Dynasty, and now the world had once again formed a balance between the Holy Court and the Immortal Dynasty.
During these years, Dao Support Sword Venerable had not taken action again, and Gu An's life had been quite ordinary. He either instructed others in comprehending the Dao or picked flowers and plants.
Now, he had reached the perfected cultivation level of the Heavenward Freedom Immortal Realm, spending nearly five billion years of his lifespan to advance from the late stage to perfection.
Currently, he had thirty-seven billion years of lifespan remaining, and he was preparing to break through to a hundred billion years of lifespan.
"There's still a long way to go before the defeat? Does that mean they are destined to lose? Should I remind my senior brother?" An Xian hesitated and asked.
An Hao was serving the Immortal Dynasty with great prestige, and from time to time, news of his awe-inspiring achievements would reach the Taixuan Sect.
Gu An replied, "He understands. Instead of worrying about him, you should focus on your own cultivation. It's time to break through to the Nirvana Realm."
An Xian's initial limit of lifespan wasn't high, just like Ye Lan and Zhen Qin, who were ordinary. However, as her cultivation level increased, her limit of lifespan, brought about by the Primordial Reincarnation Technique, continued to grow.
Gu An couldn't discern her innate talent, but she was indeed improving. Once she stepped into the Nirvana Realm, she would break through her limits and not be constrained by the limit of her lifespan for a long time.
Thinking back, when An Hao and An Xian's hometown was attacked by demons, only the two of them survived. Perhaps it wasn't just An Hao's powerful fortune, as An Xian's fortune was also extraordinary. It was just that she didn't display her talent as quickly as An Hao.
"Oh dear, I've been working hard. It's just that it's very difficult to improve my cultivation in the Great Enlightenment Realm. The eighth to ninth layer is too challenging. Give me some more time."
An Xian shook Gu An's arm playfully.
Gu An merely tapped her lightly, not scolding her.
"Maintain this momentum, and perhaps you'll have a chance to surpass Hao'er and Jian'er," Gu An said with a soft laugh, instantly exciting An Xian.
With her master's words, she truly believed she had a chance to surpass them! Over the years, she could also sense her own changes, and these changes made her more confident. Of course, she believed that these changes were all thanks to her master.
The master and disciple chatted as they made their way back to the valley.
Along the way, no disciples dared to disturb Gu An, as they all knew about Ye Lan's passing.
Four hundred and twenty years had passed, and the valley's disciples had changed by seventy to eighty percent. The current disciples had watched Ye Lan cultivate beside Gu An when they first entered the valley. In their hearts, Ye Lan was more like a master than a senior sister.
As Gu An passed by the Mountain of Ten Thousand Swords, he turned and walked towards a figure standing at the foot of the mountain.
An Xian remained where she was, waiting for him.
Absolute Luo Sword Lord stood before the tombstone with his eyes closed, seemingly comprehending something.
Gu An arrived beside him and asked, "You felt it too?"
Jue Luo Sword Lord opened his eyes, turned around, and bowed to him solemnly, saying, "I've encountered that power before. They have invaded the universe multiple times."
Gu An looked up at the heavens and said, "Do you think their arrival is related to that Divine Emperor?"
Jue Luo Sword Lord furrowed his brows, feeling that Gu An was testing him.
With Gu An's cultivation and understanding of the universe, he was undoubtedly far beyond Jue Luo Sword Lord.
After spending several hundred years in the Third Medicine Valley, Jue Luo Sword Lord had gained profound insights. He felt that the shackles of higher realms were loosening, and he attributed this to Gu An's Dao Field. Therefore, he carefully considered every word Gu An said.
"Perhaps, after all, your battle with him was too shocking, causing even the Great Dao to wail. Moreover, the Divine Emperor specifically came to the Heavenly Spirit Great World, seemingly searching for something," Jue Luo Sword Lord replied cautiously.
Gu An indeed knew who the mysterious power infiltrating this universe was.
The Battle Court!
Founded by Dragon Battle, but no longer controlled by the Dragon Clan!
The Annihilation Emperor specifically came to find Long Qing, and if he claimed to have no connection with the Battle Court, Gu An wouldn't believe it.
After Gu An annihilated the Annihilation Emperor's clone, the Annihilation Emperor would naturally take action, but it took over four hundred years for him to do so, which was considered slow.
It's worth mentioning that the Battle Court crossed over through the Boundary Gate, and Gu An was curious as to why the Heavenly Spirit Deity didn't stop them.
These beings from the Battle Court had high cultivation levels, and their leader was a Dao Treasury Freedom Immortal, a perfected existence. Even the weakest among them had reached the Divine Consciousness True Immortal Realm.
They were wandering within the Annihilation Domain, far from the Heavenly Spirit Great World, and it seemed they planned to invade other Great Worlds first.
Jue Luo Sword Lord took a deep breath and said cautiously, "Senior, if you are the Sword Dao Sage, please enlighten me. I will bring Great Crane Sword Heaven to assist you and fight against them together!"
The Sword Dao Sage was Gu An's identity in his past life, and it was also Yang Xian's most renowned title.
Gu An replied, "What Sword Dao Sage? You're overthinking it. I've only visited the Sword Dao Long River and learned quite a bit about the sword path."
"Is that so?"
Jue Luo Sword Lord didn't believe it. He had also been to the Sword Dao Long River, but why couldn't he learn the Sacred Heart Sword Dao? He always believed that his talent wasn't lacking; it was just that the Sacred Heart Sword Dao rejected him.
Gu An patted his shoulder and said, "Wait until you surpass the Freedom Immortal Realm, and you'll be able to see through everything."
After saying this, Gu An turned and left.
Jue Luo Sword Lord had stayed in the Third Medicine Valley for so many years, and occasionally, he would guide disciples. He had helped the Third Medicine Valley produce many sword geniuses, earning some goodwill from Gu An, which was why Gu An was willing to guide him.
He had already experienced the Cycle Tribulation and reached the ninth layer of the Freedom Immortal Realm, just one step away from breaking through.
Whenever Jue Luo Sword Lord met Gu An, he would think of Yang Ping'an.
That boy also had an inflated ego and even dared to challenge his master.
Gu An felt that Yang Ping'an was still alive and had reached the Heavenward Freedom Immortal Realm. His ability to deduce cause and effect had undergone a qualitative change, and he could discern the fortunes of Great Crane Sword Heaven from Jue Luo Sword Lord's fortune.
Within that vast fortune, there was a figure meditating in the deepest part, with unfathomable cultivation.
Gu An couldn't directly calculate that person's cultivation level, but judging from the silhouette, he felt it was very likely to be Yang Ping'an.
Jue Luo Sword Lord bowed to Gu An's departing figure, deep in thought. He always felt that Gu An didn't take the Battle Court seriously.
He wanted to say how terrifying the Battle Court was, but then he reconsidered; he didn't truly know how powerful Gu An was.
The Annihilation Emperor, so formidable, had been defeated by Gu An in a single move. It was hard to say what would happen if the Battle Court encountered him.
The thought that Gu An was the Sword Dao Sage made his heart burn with passion.
No!
Although the Sage didn't acknowledge his identity, as a junior, Jue Luo Sword Lord couldn't just stand by! He raised his hand, and a blue light burst from his palm, followed by the blooming of a illusory blue lotus.
Damn, I forgot to set the timer. This is yesterday's chapter.
