Chapter 512: You Don't Deserve the Name 'An'
Chapter 512: You Don't Deserve the Name 'An'
Yang An's words garnered agreement from the others in the hall, and they chimed in, continuing to persuade Li Ling Tian, hoping he would put aside his soft-heartedness and be ruthless in his actions, or else he might face trouble.
The more they agreed, the more irritated Li Ling Tian became.
A group of people with the surname Yang were pressuring him, a Li, to kill someone else with the same surname?
He felt like cursing out loud, but he was no longer the impulsive youth he once was. He had to maintain his relationship with the Yang family, who had provided him with abundant cultivation resources that he couldn't bear to give up.
The reason he wanted to become an emperor was precisely because he couldn't gather the strength of the Great Cang Huang Dynasty for his own benefit.
No matter how talented one was, they still needed heavenly treasures, resources, and opportunities to advance their cultivation faster.
There were countless geniuses in this world, and he wasn't the brightest among them.
Li Ling Tian's expression grew increasingly grim, and Yang An didn't stop the others from persuading him; instead, he watched with keen interest.
The reason he came wasn't just to support Li Ling Tian.
In the eyes of the Yang family, seizing the imperial throne was already a done deal. What they needed to do was suppress Li Ling Tian and ensure that the imperial authority became their possession.
"When did the Yang family become the master of the Great Cang Huang Dynasty? How come I, with the surname Yang, don't know about this?"
A loud voice reverberated through the heavens and earth, reaching the ears of everyone in the hall.
Before they could react, a figure shimmering with silver light appeared out of thin air beside Yang An.
Yang An glanced over, his pupils suddenly dilating as a blade pressed against his throat, causing his body to feel as if it were in an icy cellar, chilling him to the core.
Standing beside Yang An was a man clad in silver armor, his left hand gripping a three-pointed, double-edged blade. The blade was positioned horizontally in front of him, its edge pressing against Yang An's throat. His casual posture was so striking that it left everyone present in awe.
Li Ling Tian stared at Yang Jian, his eyes widening and his mouth falling open involuntarily.
"It's you..."
Li Ling Tian couldn't forget Yang Jian; they had spent many years together, often sparring with each other, and Li Ling Tian had never won.
It had been so many years.
He had fantasized about meeting Yang Jian again, but never in such circumstances.
After a brief silence, a female Yang family cultivator couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
The others also took out their magical tools, even though they were intimidated by Yang Jian. They had no intention of fleeing because this was the Yang family's territory, and their descendants were outside. They couldn't run.
Yang An looked at Yang Jian, his cold sweat streaming down. He was locked in Yang Jian's killing intent, his cultivation power frozen, unable to be mobilized. He couldn't fathom Yang Jian's cultivation level at all.
But one thing was certain: he was no match for this man!
Yang Jian glanced at Yang An and said, "Consider your connection with Li Ling Tian, and put an end to your delusions."
His gaze then shifted to Li Ling Tian, his eyes indifferent as he spoke, "Kid, no one can touch your father's throne, including you. Don't forget the ambition you once shared with me. How have you become so mundane now?"
Upon hearing this, Li Ling Tian's face turned crimson, but he didn't refute it.
He had once told Yang Jian that he wanted to become the number one cultivator in the world, seeking immortality, rather than being a prince or crown prince.
However, as his cultivation level increased, he felt greater resistance, forcing him to consider external matters.
"Who exactly are you? You're holding hostage someone from Human Peak. You'd better think twice!" another middle-aged cultivator gritted his teeth and shouted.
Yang Jian glanced at him, his eyes as cold as ice, causing the man's heart to tremble in fear, and he unconsciously took a step back.
"Human Peak is indeed formidable, and their peak master, Eternal Dao Lord, is indeed a peerless powerhouse. I have discussed the Dao with him. By the way, I am Yang Jian, the Luminary Sage King of the Sacred Court. Have you heard of me?"
"Yang Jian's words caused everyone's faces to pale in shock.
The Holy Court's Saint King!
The Yang Family cultivators were terrified and knelt one after another, their foreheads touching the ground, pleading for Yang Jian's mercy.
Li Ling Tian was stunned, sitting rigidly in his chair. Although he was confused as to how Yang Jian had become the Saint King, one thing was clear to him: compared to the Holy Court, Human Peak was insignificant.
Yang Jian's gaze shifted to Yang An, causing Yang An's heart to tremble.
"You are not worthy of the name 'An'. Starting today, change your name," Yang Jian said in an unquestionable tone.
Yang An's throat twitched, and he subconsciously uttered a word, "Alright..."
Seeing Yang Jian's effortless suppression of the Yang Family, Li Ling Tian opened his mouth, feeling an infinite sense of defeat welling up inside him.
The gap between him and Yang Jian was indeed widening!
...
The seasons turned in the human world, and autumn arrived once again.
In the forest outside Wu Shi's Dao Site.
Gu An lay on a tree branch, dappled sunlight falling on his face, as he examined his attribute panel.
[Name: Gu An]
[Lifespan: 4,458/50,802,675,392]
[Constitution: Primordial Boundless Constitution]
[Cultivation: Complete Primordial Golden Immortal Realm]
...
Five hundred million years of lifespan!
He was already halfway to a billion years!
This was Gu An's accumulation without causing any major disturbances, and his lifespan was growing rapidly.
With such an advantage, he naturally didn't need to take risks like those in the mortal world.
Precisely for this reason, he had to be cautious and never arrogant.
Under the tree, Tian Qing and Tian Bai were cultivating sword techniques, a set of dual sword skills created by Gu An for them. The two girls were practicing with great enthusiasm, while Tian Yao'er was in secluded meditation.
"It's been a while since I've entered the Lifespan Cycle. How about a round?"
Gu An suddenly felt a surge of inspiration, as he had recently felt his understanding of the Great Dao was slowing down, and he needed a new stimulus.
The Lifespan Cycle was the best way!
Even with the risks, it wouldn't immediately affect him in reality.
Let's go for a round!
It's been many years since I've done this!
Time to start!
Gu An's heart moved, and he immediately initiated the Lifespan Cycle.
[You consume 100 million years of lifespan to initiate a cycle of evolution]
[Beginning to connect with the rules of the Great Dao]
[Searching for the cycle of the Great Dao]
[You have the following options, choose one]
[1. Heavenly Spirit Grand World]
[2. Heavenly Book Grand World]
[3. Dark Grand Universe]
A Grand World?
The Heavenly Book?
Gu An was drawn to the second option, but he felt that this Grand World seemed to exist within a book. If so, he might encounter terrifying beings like the Heavenly Spirit Deity.
Forget it, let's not involve a Grand World just yet. A hundred million years of lifespan is not a small number; he'd have to work hard for half a year.
Gu An's gaze fell on the Dark Grand Universe.
Ever since Yang Xian defeated the Black Profound Emperor, Gu An had lost his fear of the latter. This time, he could try challenging the Black Profound Emperor again and personally slay him!
Gu An made his choice, and a series of messages appeared before him:
[You have chosen to cycle into the Dark Grand Universe]
[As the rules of this universe cannot conceal your connection to the Great Dao, you will retain the ability to seize lifespans, but you cannot initiate stage-based functions]
[Cycle Evolution begins]
[Year 1: You are born in a town in the Western Extreme Domain. Shortly after your birth, the town is attacked by a demon beast. Your parents perish, and you are carried away by a demon beast. Fortunately, a cultivator intervenes and saves you, naming you 'Black'.]
