Steadily Becoming A Saint, The Immortal Officials Hired Me To Tend The Horses
/ Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses Chapter 105
Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Void Crossing Realm, is it very strong?
Mystic Pure Tree?
Gu An didn't expect Lu Lingjun to discover the mysteries of the Mystic Pure Tree so quickly. This matter was not forbidden to him; on the contrary, it brought him more inspiration.
In the future, he could use the Mystic Pure Tree to drive the disciples to work harder!
Gu An pondered, “Alright, but you can only go there at night, and you must leave before dawn. The Mystic Pure Tree is the sect's property, and many Great Cultivators keep an eye on it. Do you understand?”
Hearing this, Lu Lingjun quickly bowed to thank Gu An.
Watching this ninth-layer Unification Realm Great Cultivator being so respectful to him, Gu An felt a deep sense of emotion.
Wasn't he in the same position before?
Having a Great Cultivation level but needing to act cautiously was because they were all not satisfied with their current state and believed they could still ascend higher.
After some brief conversation, Lu Lingjun took her leave.
Lu Lingjun closed the door, then walked down the stairs, as she puzzled silently to herself, “What kind of book is Green Hero Travelogue? It's even more valuable than the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Art.”
Although Gu An moved swiftly, she still managed to catch the title of Green Hero Travelogue in that brief moment.
She decided to investigate in the Outer Gate City later.
Ever since arriving at the Great Heavenly Spirit Land, Lu Lingjun had been curious about everything here yet filled with caution. Thus, she started as a Servant Disciple, first familiarizing herself with this world and then steadily advancing.
Her goal was to become an Elder of the Supreme Sect. The Third Medicine Valley was merely a stepping stone.
Along the way, Lu Lingjun couldn't help but wonder about the cultivation level of the Supreme Sect Leader.
It must be higher than hers, right?
Deep into the night, in the North Sea Mountain Range, a fierce wind blew, mingling with snowflakes.
Gu An sat cross-legged under a tree, slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp gleam flashed across them.
He had just spent ten thousand years of his life span to elevate the Ji Family's Divine Skill, Heaven and Earth Path Gang, and had advanced twice, from Heaven and Earth Path Gang to Heaven and Earth Dominator Body, and then to Daoist Gang Primal Energy.
Once Daoist Gang Primal Energy was mastered, the invisible and colorless energy automatically protected the body, repelling any evil invasion. It could withstand all kinds of spells and Divine Skills while being able to manipulate Daoist Gang Primal Energy to attack enemies, capable of both offense and defense.
Gu An began refining Daoist Gang Primal Energy. He had already inherited the evolutionary memories. He just needed to run the technique once to master it.
An hour later, Daoist Gang Primal Energy was formed. He could now retain the energy on his skin's surface, allowing others to touch him without causing harm.
Gu An still had four hundred thirty thousand years of lifespan left, hesitating whether to continue enhancing the Taicang Divine-Shocking Sword.
The Taicang Divine-Shocking Sword was already powerful enough, and further enhancement seemed unnecessary.
His intuition told him that improving the Wood Spirit Sword Technique might be stronger because his cultivation technique had a Wood Attribute, whereas he temporarily did not possess the Sorcery of Five Elements.
But he already had one sword technique, and practicing another seemed pointless. It was better to focus on mastering one fully.
However, in a hundred years' time, ten thousand years of lifespan might not mean much to him, so there was still time to cultivate the Wood Spirit Sword Technique.
Forget it!
He decided to cultivate other spells and Divine Skills first.
In fact, with Gu An's Mahayana Realm eighth-layer cultivation level, any spell in his hands could crush the power of the Mystic Heart Realm. He wouldn't cross realms to challenge stronger enemies, so enhancing spells and Divine Skills was preparing for future breakthroughs.
After reflection, Gu An decided to enhance the Gathering Spirit Divine Finger taught by Lv Baitian.
The Gathering Spirit Divine Finger was unique because it didn't just gather the caster's Spiritual Power but also the surrounding spiritual energy. In other words, this spell could harness the power of Heaven and Earth.
Gu An had a bold idea.
Could he use the power of Heaven and Earth to disperse the Heavenly Tribulation with one finger during his evolution?
The thought alone made his heart race with excitement.
He hoped his evolving self would be wise enough!
Gu An immediately invested ten thousand years of lifespan into the Gathering Spirit Divine Finger.
The Gathering Spirit Divine Finger advanced to Sky-Reaching Finger and then to Breaking Path Divine Light.
A vast torrent of memories poured into Gu An's mind, immersing him deeply.
The Finger Technique evolved, expanding from being limited to the fingers to being executable from any part of the body!
The spiritual energy of the North Sea Mountain Range continued to sink, causing discussions among the creatures there. By now, they were used to it, so there was no fear, only curiosity about what was happening.
Another hour passed.
Gu An opened his eyes, secretly amazed.
Such an overbearing Breaking Path Divine Light!
This spell specialized in breaking all formations, restrictions, and defensive spells and Divine Skills. It could even outright destroy enemies, making them perish and vanish.
He hadn't improved it wrongly this time!
Gu An smiled, then stood up. He undid the Life Span Barrier and walked deeper into the woods. There was still time before dawn, and he intended to enjoy the scenery of the North Sea and check on Li Ya.
Li Ya was still at the edge of the North Sea, diligently practicing the Taicang Divine-Shocking Sword.
When Gu An had taught him the sword technique, he had also infused a strand of sword intent into the North Sea Heavy Sword to guide his practice.
With the guidance of sword intent, Li Ya's progress in cultivation was rapid, far easier than interpreting it himself in the evolution.
The trees in the North Sea Mountain Range were tall, making one feel small. The forest was filled with demon energy, and Gu An even saw Spirit Beasts like White Spirit Rats; some were adorable, others hideously grotesque.
While Gu An enjoyed the scenic route, thousands of miles away at the lakeshore of the North Sea, Li Ya swung his North Sea Heavy Sword under the full moon, shirtless.
On the shimmering lake, the full moon hung high, and snowflakes drifted like falling stars.
Li Ya was drenched in sweat. His muscles tensed with each sword swing, exuding a sense of power.
“Even if your Taicang Divine-Shocking Sword isn't practiced to perfection, your physical body has completely integrated with Dragon Image Divine Primordial. Your Qi strength rivals that of a fourth-tier demon beast.”
The Ancestor's voice echoed, filled with praise.
Li Ya's lips curved into a smile. He continued practicing his sword, not responding.
He began to imagine defeating Lv Xian, Zhou Tongyou, and Ji Xiaoyu. He wanted to make the hundred clans marvel and restore the Li Family's peak.
“Impressive swordsmanship, truly a promising youth.” A voice sounded from the side, startling Li Ya. He turned to see a scholar-like man walking along the beach.
The man wore white robes, carried a bookcase on his back, and held a folding fan, his figure in the moonlight giving Li Ya the impression of a ghost.
Li Ya frowned and asked, “Do you need something?”
Having spent so many years in the North Sea Mountain Range, he had encountered demons and evil spirits. He wasn't afraid of any entities he met now.
The scholar in white smiled, “I come from the Ephemera Sect. You may call me Traveler of Graceful Crane. I see your swordsmanship is commendable and your Qi-Blood surpasses others in your realm. You have great potential. How about joining our Ephemera Sect?”
Ephemera Sect!
Li Ya frowned. Over the past two years, Ephemera Sect had frequently fought with many Demonic Sects in the North Sea Mountain Range. Naturally, he had encountered them before.
He bluntly refused, “I am a disciple of the Supreme Sect. Thank you for your offer, but I must decline.”
He felt proud of the Supreme Sect. In his eyes, how could an obscure sect like the Ephemera Sect compare with the righteous grand sect Supreme Sect?
“Many cultivators from the Supreme Sect have joined our sect, including some elders. Eventually, Ephemera Sect will replace the Supreme Sect. Joining earlier is the right path.” Traveler of Graceful Crane said with a smile.
Li Ya's face turned cold. He raised his sword at the Traveler of Graceful Crane and said, “So, I have no choice but to refuse?”
Seeing him raise his sword, the Traveler of Graceful Crane laughed, “Young man, do you think you are invincible just because you have the soul of a Great Cultivator inside you?”
As he finished speaking, he suddenly attacked Li Ya.
Li Ya's expression changed. He raised his sword to block.
Gu An wandered in the forest for several hours. As dawn approached, he departed, treading the Limitless Freedom Step.
He arrived at the beach where Li Ya was. From afar, he saw Li Ya slumped before a reef, his head buried in his arms, while the North Sea Heavy Sword lay on the sand, constantly washed over by the waves.
Hmm?
Something was amiss!
Gu An focused and discovered that Li Ya's soul had vanished.
He immediately walked toward Li Ya.
As he approached, Li Ya finally heard the footsteps.
Li Ya slowly lifted his head. Upon seeing Gu An enveloped in demonic energy, his face changed drastically. He quickly got up and rushed over to kneel before Gu An.
“Primordial Ancestor! Please save my ancestor! He was captured by the Traveler of Graceful Crane from the Ephemera Sect!”
Li Ya exclaimed, his voice tinged with a sob.
He wanted to cry because he believed Gu An was the Primordial Ancestor of the Li Family. In front of his ancestor, his emotions crumbled.
Gu An asked in a weary voice, “What happened?”
At the same time, he spread out his Divine Sense to search for the soul aura within Li Ya.
He had never met the Traveler of Graceful Crane, making it difficult to track him directly, so he searched for the soul aura instead.
Li Ya began recounting his earlier encounter.
After being defeated by the Traveler of Graceful Crane, he was humiliated and finally had his soul taken. The Traveler of Graceful Crane said to join the Ephemera Sect to save the soul.
Years of arduous cultivation had made Li Ya feel that he had changed dramatically, yet he stood no chance against the Traveler of Graceful Crane. His confidence was shattered.
Gu An failed to detect the soul aura, likely hidden by the Traveler of Graceful Crane. He wasn't worried; with a serious search, he would eventually find him.
“Why didn't you find a safe place to practice your sword? Why here, without even setting up a formation?” Gu An suddenly asked.
He felt that Li Ya had many strengths but one bad habit, he was too reckless.
Relying on the soul of his ancestor within him, he acted rashly and often got hurt.
It was a good opportunity to temper him!
“I…”
Li Ya wanted to answer but was too ashamed to speak, unable to justify himself.
He chose this place to attract demons and ghosts to attack him, thus improving himself through battle.
Of course, his confidence came from having his ancestor's soul as backup.
“You always escape death narrowly, but have you considered the burden on him?” Gu An asked.
Remembering how his ancestor often scolded him for being reckless, Li Ya felt even more ashamed, wishing he could find a hole to hide in.
Seeing his sad expression, Gu An's heart softened, unwilling to be too harsh.
“Join the Ephemera Sect.” Gu An suddenly said.
Li Ya looked up in shock, unable to believe what his assumed ancestor had said.
“The Ephemera Sect harms the living. You infiltrate the Ephemera Sect and, at the end of each month, find a mountain top and release your aura. I will find you. When the Ephemera Sect gathers, I will act.” Gu An said coldly.
Li Ya quickly said, “But isn't that very dangerous? The entire Demonic Path isn't a match for the Ephemera Sect. It's said there are beings above the Void Crossing Realm in the Ephemera Sect, and not just one!”
Gu An retorted, “Void Crossing Realm, is it that strong?”
Li Ya was stunned into silence.
