Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Ancestor Xuan Tian, Heaven-Cutting Divine Axe
Since Lv Xian had been disciplined by Gu An, he thoroughly became honest. When Gu An went to Tianya Valley again, Lv Xian was always in closed-door cultivation. Luo Hun said he wanted to reach the Divinity Transformation Realm as soon as possible.
Gu An asked for the reason, but Luo Hun said he didn't know. This made Gu An feel at ease. Lv Xian might be crazy, but he was tight-lipped.
This matter passed.
Gu An studied the map given by Lv Xian. It was too far from the Taicang Dynasty, so he could only set it aside for now.
What if that place had Mahayana Cultivators?
He couldn't take the risk!
Now the life span income from the three Medicine Valleys was considerable. Even if he didn't improve, he could quickly expand his lifespan.
In the blink of an eye.
Two months had passed.
The autumnal scenery of withered yellow covered the Mystic Valley. On this day, near noon, Ye Lan came to visit her.
Having not seen each other for nearly a year, Ye Lan missed Gu An a lot. As soon as she entered the room, she hugged him.
“Junior Sister!”
Gu An said in a deep voice, with a tone of reproach.
Ye Lan let go of him and laughed, saying: “What's wrong with hugging? This is a ceremony for reunion after a long separation between senior and junior apprentices. Senior Brother, don't think too much. I don't want any romantic affairs now; I just want to cultivate immortality.”
Gu An rolled his eyes at her and then turned to make her tea.
He had just instinctively performed a Life Span Detection on Ye Lan, which made him feel a bit heavy-hearted.
[Ye Lan (Foundation Establishment Realm Fifth Layer): 56/130/130]
The regular lifespan for the Foundation Establishment Realm exceeded two hundred, but Ye Lan's Foundation Establishment was built up with Gu An's elixirs, so it had already reached its limit.
What would happen when Ye Lan reached the age of one hundred and thirty?
Would it be celestial decline and sudden death, or demonic possession, causing qi-blood to attack the heart?
Gu An sighed inwardly and decided to teach Ye Lan the Daoist Expansion Skill. With seventy-four years left, perhaps it could be effective.
The Daoist Expansion Skill was a process of accumulating spiritual power. Gu An had a bold idea.
What would happen when practicing the Daoist Expansion Skill while frantically consuming Spirit Energy Elixirs?
Ye Lan didn't know what her senior brother was thinking and began to narrate what she had seen and heard during her recent outing.
The Law Enforcement Hall went out to protect the Crown Prince Li Dai; the enemies were from the Ephemera Sect. Over the past half year, she had experienced seven or eight battles and survived without danger.
Gu An had known about this for a long time because he occasionally used his divine sense to check on her. The disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall were basically scouts; the real fighters were several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
“Senior Brother, the reason we were able to come back was that a Void Crossing Realm great cultivator came to protect the Crown Prince. Above the Nascent Soul Realm is the Divinity Transformation, and above the Divinity Transformation is the Void Crossing Realm. That senior was amazing; he killed the Ephemera Sect's demon cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Realm with one palm. At that time, we all thought we were doomed, but it turned out the Crown Prince had such a master behind him. They say he is not even a cultivator of the Supreme Sect.” Ye Lan seemed very excited when she talked about the great cultivator in the Void Crossing Realm.
Gu An raised an eyebrow, pretending to be shocked: “That powerful? How old is he?”
“It's said he's already nine hundred years old.” Ye Lan said this while carefully observing Gu An's expression.
She once suspected Gu An was Sword Venerable Fudao. During the Outer Sect chaos, her White Spirit Sword sensed the Qinghong Sword. The words 'Righteous Path' carved on the Heavenly Repair Platform were also made by the Qinghong Sword!
However, after her research, she learned that Sword Venerable Fudao was at least a cultivation beyond the Divinity Transformation Realm, which made her a bit hesitant.
She had grown up with Gu An and knew his age.
A Void Crossing Realm in his tens of years?
That was unheard of in the Immortal Cultivation World!
Moreover, Gu An never admitted that he was Sword Venerable Fudao, so she suspected he might be a disciple of Sword Venerable Fudao.
Regardless of the situation, Ye Lan felt that she was unworthy of her senior brother. Therefore, she rarely expressed her feelings nowadays, focusing more energy on her cultivation.
When her cultivation level was raised and her senior brother wanted a Daoist friend, that would be her chance!
Gu An sighed, “Junior Sister, you're encountering cultivators of higher and higher realms now, but your own cultivation seems hard to improve. How about practicing my cultivation technique?”
“What cultivation technique?” Ye Lan asked curiously.
Gu An's Gale Shadowless Leg was already her strongest combat means, so she didn't underestimate his cultivation techniques.
Perhaps this technique was passed down by Sword Venerable Fudao!
Gu An began to introduce the Daoist Expansion Skill, and Ye Lan listened intently.
When Gu An finished, Ye Lan couldn't help but ask: “Senior Brother, you possess so many medicinal herbs, but your cultivation hasn't improved much. Is it because of the Daoist Expansion Skill?”
Gu An nodded, “This is an ultimate skill. I'm only passing it on to you, so you must not tell anyone else.”
Hearing this, Ye Lan's heart sweetened. She hesitated, “If I practice the Daoist Expansion Skill, will it burden you more?”
She understood that Gu An would continuously provide her with elixirs to aid her cultivation, which would inevitably delay his own cultivation.
Gu An laughed, “If you're worried, don't practice. Just wait until your lifespan runs out, and your senior brother will live for another few hundred years. By then, I can take several junior sisters and enjoy the bliss of having many companions.”
“No, I'll practice!” Ye Lan said glaring.
Gu An immediately took out the already written Daoist Expansion Skill and handed it to her.
After accepting the Daoist Expansion Skill, Ye Lan took out a black wood box from her storage bag, “This is a gift prepared for you. I planned to give it after our conversation, but you gave me the cultivation technique first, which makes my sentiment seem inadequate.”
Gu An took the black wood box and smiled, “Junior Sister, what are you talking about? You've given me so many good things over the years. You are undoubtedly the best to me.”
The Six-layer Human-Faced Tree was given by Ye Lan. Besides, she brought various medicinal herbs every time she visited Gu An.
Gu An had also declined, but Ye Lan convinced him by repaying the elixir's kindness. Rejecting more would seem uncaring, so now the two of them exchanged gifts and were both happy about it.
Upon hearing Gu An's words, Ye Lan smiled and introduced, “This is a Dark Vine, probably at the Fifth Layer, though it's just a small section. It requires planting for a dozen or so years to fully rejuvenate. Once grown, it can guard the house and block divine sense.
Gu An opened it and saw a piece of something resembling black coal, with faint vitality.
He wasn't disappointed. Ye Lan's cultivation was limited, so obtaining this remnant was already good. The previous Human-Faced Tree was also just a root, now recovering vitality.
Then, Ye Lan continued to talk about the events in the Immortal Cultivation World during this period.
Gu An listened attentively, enjoying his time.
Recently, a group of mysterious cultivators emerged in the Immortal Cultivation World, known as Nine Nether Thirteen Evil. They broke into Wanyin Sect, seized Wanyin Sect's treasure, and left. Their strength shocked the Immortal Cultivation World.
Besides, another major event was the Ancient Sky Sect nurturing a Holy Beast Sky Dragon. The whole sect was invigorated, and various states discussed it, claiming the Ancient Sky Sect was rising.
The Holy Beast was none other than the Sky Dragon Gu An raised. He had previously checked on the Ancient Sky Sect, and seeing the Sky Dragon being well taken care of, he didn't worry.
According to Ye Lan, the Immortal Cultivation World was relatively peaceful. The Ephemera Sect had also settled down, no longer fighting to death with the Demon Path. But Gu An knew this was just the calm before the storm.
When the great cultivators of the Ephemera Sect Main Lineage arrived, the Immortal Cultivation World would again be engulfed in a bloody storm!
In the depths of night, the North Sea Mountain range, Spiritual Energy began to descend, disturbing all beings once again.
Gu An was meditating within a barrier, enjoying the improvement in his cultivation. He had spent three thousand years of life to reach the Ninth Layer of the Mahayana Realm.
After a short hour passed, he invested another fifty thousand years of life into Alchemy.
Previously, he intended to improve his alchemy skills on his own, but later realized alchemy also required talent.
Investing fifty thousand years of life elevated his alchemy to the Taiching Elixir Path, greatly enhancing his comprehension of alchemy.
A vast amount of knowledge surged into his mind, and he immersed himself in it.
The alchemy he practiced was the basic alchemy of the Supreme Sect. Different sects' alchemy had differences, resulting in diverse elixir paths.
The Taiching Elixir Path included a spell named Taiching True Fire, helping better in alchemy and capable of killing enemies.
These fifty thousand years of life were well spent!
When Gu An woke up, he lifted his right hand, and a blue flame ignited on his fingertip, a smile appearing on his lips.
He then looked at his attribute panel, still having four hundred and ninety thousand years of life, feeling exceedingly wealthy!
He closed the Life Span Barrier and stood up, preparing to leave.
His gaze suddenly fell on the nearby mountain wall.
Because of the disturbance caused by the descending Spiritual Energy, the weeds in front of the mountain wall were tilted in all directions. Upon closer inspection, there was a crack from which strands of spiritual energy leaked, and this spiritual energy was unusual, not the common five-element spiritual energy.
He immediately walked over, arriving before the mountain wall, and infused his divine sense into it.
Soon, his divine sense encountered a restriction.
Breaking through required at least Void Crossing Realm cultivation.
He instantly understood and didn't forcibly break the restriction. Instead, he used the Nine Extremes Yin Yang Body, turning into a demonic shadow and stepping forward with Limitless Freedom Step, crossing in one step.
Passing through layers of restrictions, he reached a spacious underground area.
This space was larger than the Eight Scenic Caves. In the center, there was an underground lake with a grassland about three hundred meters long and a hundred meters wide beside it, along with a row of old trees.
Under one of the old trees stood a dilapidated wooden house.
His divine sense didn't detect any cultivator or demon presence, yet the underground lake had many fish, even one two meters long, resembling a spirit beast.
Gu An walked forward and passed a stele with four large characters inscribed on it.
Mystic Heaven Cave Mansion!
The spiritual energy here was abundant, even stronger than the Eight Scenic Caves. He performed a Life Span Detection on the row of trees.
They were all Six-layer Spirit Trees, named Heart Clearing Trees.
Excellent!
Gu An was suddenly delighted. If no one lived here, it could become his fourth Medicine Valley.
The Mystic Valley, Third Medicine Valley, and Tianya Valley were under others' watchful eyes. His treasures were all kept in the Eight Scenic Caves, but the space there was limited.
Gu An reached the wooden house, where there was a stone table covered in moss, with two books lying on it.
One was a Nameless Book, and the other a secret book.
Heaven-Cutting Divine Axe!
What a domineering name!
Gu An picked up the Nameless Book and started reading.
It was a testament left by the owner of the Mystic Heaven Cave Mansion.
The mansion owner was known as Ancestor Xuan Tian, and surprisingly, he was a Mystic Heart Realm cultivator!
Gu An read on, frowning slightly.
Ancestor Xuan Tian was actually a Supreme Elder of the Supreme Sect. After leaving the Supreme Sect, he established the Mystic Heaven Cave Mansion here, intending to seek enlightenment. Later, he experienced deviation and, before his death, decided to leave the cave mansion and head towards the Demon Land beyond the Nine Dynasties.
The Heaven-Cutting Divine Axe was Ancestor Xuan Tian's ultimate skill, inherited from the Holy Land, one of the Holy Land's nine great inheritances!
