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 112
Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Unparalleled Battle, Path Enlightenment in the Painting
“I received guidance from Sword Venerable Fudao, so naturally, I must repay the favor. Besides, the Supreme Sect has treated me well these past years!”
Han Ming responded firmly, taking out the sword box from his back, ready to fight.
At that moment, three figures appeared out of thin air around the Ghost Mother of Ephemera. All three were great cultivators of the Void Crossing Realm, specifically stationed at the Heavenly Repair Platform.
The Ghost Mother of Ephemera, at the Unification Realm, did not fear them. She shook her head slightly, muttering to herself: “So troublesome, but it's almost enough.”
She suddenly transformed into a wisp of ghostly qi, disappearing into thin air.
The three great cultivators of the Void Crossing Realm followed, vanishing from their original spot. Gu An could sense them moving towards the outer sect, chasing her into the distance.
Han Ming did not pursue. Revealing the Ghost Mother of Ephemera's identity was already good enough; the chase was the Supreme Sect's responsibility.
He turned to look at the still-frightened Gu An and comforted him: “Don't worry, that ghost should not come back after escaping.”
Gu An nodded, but could not help glancing around, as if afraid there were other ghosts nearby.
One must fully commit to acting!
Han Ming walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and pulled him over to Zuo Lin, then began recounting his experiences of slaying demons and ghosts.
Gu An thought it was bad luck; the act had gone too far, and it was hard to leave now. He had no choice but to listen to Han Ming's bragging.
Zuo Lin, who rarely saw Gu An, was in a good mood. The two whispered, causing Han Ming to angrily growl.
The matter of the Ghost Mother of Ephemera was just an interlude.
Gu An had been waiting for his life span warning; as long as an enemy warning appeared, the Ghost Mother of Ephemera would not live past today.
Fortunately, no warning appeared, indicating the Ghost Mother did not suspect him.
Of course, it was also possible that the Ghost Mother of Ephemera had no malicious intent for coming to the Supreme Sect. She had been here for years without causing trouble; she hadn't participated in the chaos caused by the Underworld Demon Emperor before.
Now, the great cultivator of the Mystic Heart Realm from the Ephemera Sect was approaching. If the Ghost Mother of Ephemera had any ill intent, she could have started a massacre and cooperated with that Mystic Heart Realm cultivator.
Could it be that the Ghost Mother of Ephemera had no connection with the Ephemera Sect?
Gu An, while listening to Han Ming brag, thought silently.
Under the blue sky, the autumn landscape of withered yellow covered the mountains and rivers.
On each peak stood various figures; Lv Baitian and Ji Hantian were there too. There were thirty-two people, all great cultivators of the Supreme Sect, each exuding an extraordinary aura.
Ji Hantian stood beside Lv Baitian, asking in a low voice: “Has the opponent surpassed the Unification Realm?”
Lv Baitian looked into the distance with a serious expression, stating: “He must have surpassed it, his aura is far beyond mine, vast and boundless, and it doesn't seem like a recent breakthrough.”
Mystic Heart Realm!
Ji Hantian's face darkened.
In the distance, other great cultivators of the Supreme Sect could also hear Lv Baitian's words. Their expressions were equally heavy, but no one was afraid.
“So what if he's in the Mystic Heart Realm? With so many of us in the Unification Realm joining forces, we may still be able to fight!” a short elder snorted coldly.
“Exactly, what is there to fear?”
“The Ji Family also has great cultivators rushing over; the Ephemera Sect will meet their demise no matter how many they send.”
“It's a pity that our Gu Family ancestor's whereabouts are unknown. Otherwise, inviting him would eliminate any risk.”
“Hahaha, ancestors are like that, they can't be summoned so easily.”
“True, among the Supreme Elderly of the Sect, some might be in the Mystic Heart Realm. However, those who have reached that stage seek immortal fate and cherish their remaining years without staying here.”
The other great cultivators of the Unification Realm discussed animatedly. Most of them spent many years in seclusion or training outside. It was a rare reunion for these individuals who seldom showed up in the Supreme Sect.
Lv Baitian took out a bottle of elixir from his storage ring and directly poured it into his mouth. Immediately, his complexion began to recover, with wisps of burning heat emanating from his body.
Other great cultivators also took out elixirs and magic artifacts. Some even started setting up formations. The world grew silent, anticipating the outbreak of the grand battle.
“So many great cultivators in the Unification Realm, truly befitting a thousand-year-old Great Sect.”
A light chuckle echoed through the sky, causing everyone's expressions to change.
This voice belonged to the man in the purple robe from the main lineage of the Ephemera Sect!
Though he had not yet arrived, his laughter brought immense pressure to the great cultivators of the Unification Realm.
In the outer gate city, Gu An descended from the Heavenly Repair Platform, letting out a long breath.
Han Ming is too damn boastful!
Had Gu An not mentioned urgent business, he would still be stuck listening to Han Ming's legendary tales.
Even Gu An, who enjoyed chatting, couldn't handle it. Primarily because with Han Ming, it was all one-sided talking with no interesting content.
After leaving the Heavenly Repair Platform, Gu An planned to find an inn in the city to drink and then watch the battle.
After taking a few steps, deafening roars echoed from the horizon. Five breaths later, a fierce wind surged, causing the outer gate's formation to manifest.
Gu An quickened his pace, afraid of missing the fight.
He jogged to his usual inn, ordered wine and meat from the waiter.
Due to the Supreme Sect preparing for battle, there were only two or three patrons in the inn, each sitting at separate tables.
Gu An sat by the window, his gaze directed to the horizon as his divine sense stretched across the distance to lock onto the battlefield.
Thirty-two great cultivators of the Unification Realm besieged a Mystic Heart Realm cultivator. The scene was incredibly magnificent, earth-shaking, and within thousands of miles, the forests quickly turned to ruins.
Gu An began to enjoy the visual feast, a battle rarely seen in hundreds of years.
Even if he chose to fight, he hardly got to witness such battles. If he couldn't easily crush the opponent, he wouldn't bother fighting.
The Mystic Heart Realm was undoubtedly formidable, far beyond the Unification Realm. That purple-robed man single-handedly suppressed the thirty-two great cultivators of the Supreme Sect with unrivaled dominance.
Gu An noticed a familiar figure atop a mountain a thousand miles away from the battlefield.
Su Han.
It was Su Han who led the purple-robed man.
Gu An had sensed this earlier and now felt dissatisfied seeing that Su Han hadn't fled.
This guy isn't afraid of being shattered!
Having saved Su Han before, Gu An decided not to save him again in the future.
A master like him had done enough; even if Su Han were to be killed today, he wouldn't intervene.
Then, Gu An focused solely on the battle.
Shortly after, a waiter started serving wine and dishes.
Gu An had just taken two sips when a voice remarked: “You're actually drinking here.”
Shen Zhen!
Gu An ignored her. Lately, Shen Zhen's Supreme Secret Records were getting so exaggerated that even he couldn't resist reading them.
It tarnished Gu An's name.
Undoubtedly, in the Supreme Sect, there must be other people named Gu An, likely resenting Shen Zhen intensely.
Shen Zhen sat directly across from him, wearing a veil that attracted even more attention. The inn's patrons couldn't help but glance at her.
“A grand battle is about to start, and this one might be fiercer than the previous righteous-demonic battle. I plan to paint the entire process. Why don't we do it together? Let me tell you, I recently gained some insights from my past paintings, so I might achieve enlightenment through my art.” Shen Zhen spoke with a tone of pride when mentioning her path enlightenment.
She had specifically sought out Gu An, tracking him from the Third Medicine Valley to this place.
Gu An replied: “Forget it, I won't participate. It's too dangerous. With my level of cultivation, I'd easily be reduced to ashes near the battlefield.”
“No worries, I'll protect you.”
“What is your cultivation level? Can you even protect me?”
“At least I'm in the Core Formation Realm!”
“Core Formation Realm in such a battlefield is just cannon fodder. When hit by the battle's aftershocks, you'd only convulse a bit longer than I would.”
“You…[Sign it] Okay, that makes some sense.”
Shen Zhen glared before pouring herself a bowl of wine. She gazed into the distance, her expression growing more alarmed with the intensifying battle aura.
What kind of fight could cause such a huge commotion?
Gu An enjoyed the spectacle with his divine sense. Lv Baitian was indeed strong, clearly on a different level from other great cultivators. Ji Hantian was also impressive, with his Qilin Step nearly perfected, being one of the few cultivators able to approach the purple-robed man.
However, the fight had barely begun, yet most Supreme Sect cultivators were already injured to varying degrees. Some were even blasted to pieces, with only their primordial spirits left to form ranks from afar.
The purple-robed man wielded several magic artifacts, holding a long spear imbued with immense power, effectively dominating the battlefield.
Gu An thought this man hadn't even used his full strength.
At this rate, the Supreme Sect's side would face complete annihilation.
Sigh!
It's no good, I have to step in!
To ensure better prospects for his stay, Gu An had to prevent the Supreme Sect from losing so many great cultivators, unless an enemy appeared that even he couldn't handle. In that case, he would just flee.
Gu An stood up and said: “Ms. Shen, I need to step out for a moment. I'll come back and find you later. Stay here and don't leave.”
Without waiting for Shen Zhen's response, Gu An quickly exited the inn.
Shen Zhen wasn't suspicious, being more curious about the distant battle than Gu An.
Gu An swiftly walked several streets before making sure no divine sense was locking onto him. Then, employing the Limitless Freedom Step, he moved beyond the outer gate.
After five steps, he entered the Mystic Heaven Cave Mansion!
Entering a wooden house, he picked up the Heaven-Cutting Axe, and dark purple demonic qi began to ooze from him.
Nine Extremes Yin Yang Body!
His right foot lifted, disappearing within the cave mansion.
The next moment, he stood atop a mountain a thousand miles away from the Mystic Heaven Cave Mansion.
Gu An waved the Heaven-Cutting Axe in his hand, recalling the techniques of the Heaven-Cutting Divine Axe in his mind.
Forget it!
To kill him, do I even need techniques?
Gu An immediately headed towards the battlefield with the Heaven-Cutting Axe in hand.
He planned to use Ancestor Xuan Tian's identity to kill the enemy, ensuring the news of the Supreme Sect's ancestor returning would spread across the Immortal Cultivation World. By then, anyone in the Nine Dynasties who wanted to oppose the Supreme Sect would have to think twice.
Meanwhile.
In the Taicang Dynasty.
Boom!
Mountains shattered, dust flying everywhere.
Another great cultivator of the Unification Realm fell, his life or death unknown.
In mid-air, Ji Hantian and two great cultivators from the Ji Family manifested the Heavenly Dragon Demon-Suppressing Form to restrain the purple-robed man. All three panted heavily, their spiritual power nearly exhausted.
From all directions, golden dragon shadows assaulted, as the purple-robed man stood proud in the air, a golden halo hovering behind his head, radiating brilliant light. Any dragon shadow approaching within ten feet of him was dispersed by an invisible force.
“The Heavenly Dragon Demon-Suppressing Form is indeed a marvelous divine skill. Considering you are from the Ji Family, I can spare your lives. But if you persist in being obstinate, don't blame me for disregarding the Ji Family's dignity!”
The purple-robed man's cold voice was laced with intense killing intent, no longer retaining his previous disdainful, teasing demeanor.
