Chapter 122: Chapter 122 The Real Taicang Divine-Shocking Sword
“What's wrong?”
Li Ya asked in his mind, puzzled. He couldn't wait to return to the Inner Sect's cave, to cultivate properly and then become famous throughout the world!
The voice of the ancestor rang out: “Look at the person next to you, he's actually gaining enlightenment.”
His tone was heavy, even carrying a hint of shock.
Gaining enlightenment?
Li Ya was confused, unable to stop himself from turning his head to look. His gaze quickly fell on Wu Jue.
Wu Jue appeared very out of it, starkly different from the energetic disciples of the Supreme Sect around him.
Was he gaining enlightenment?
“What kind of enlightenment? Thinking about a cultivation technique?” Li Ya asked in his heart.
The ancestor replied: “Gaining enlightenment is a special state, something one can encounter but not seek. During the process of gaining enlightenment, one can feel the Heaven and Earth True Meaning, which leads to a transformation in both comprehension and physical aptitude. Those who can gain enlightenment, even if only once, can defy fate and rewrite their destiny. Even I have never gained enlightenment. I have only seen a friend of mine who had. If he were still alive, he would undoubtedly be one of the top experts in the nine dynasties of the Immortal Cultivation World.”
So amazing?
Li Ya examined Wu Jue carefully but couldn't see how Wu Jue was different. He looked quite ordinary, even less impressive than his Junior Brother Gu.
At least his Junior Brother Gu was handsome and easily likable.
“The Supreme Sect truly hides dragons and crouching tigers. Not to mention Lv Xian and Ji Xiaoyu, the cultivation speed of An Hao is unprecedented in history. Anyway, I've never heard of such a prodigious talent before. Now you encounter someone gaining enlightenment. The younger they are when they gain enlightenment, the greater their potential. This boy looks about your age; in the future, he will probably soar to great heights. The fortune of the Supreme Sect is unstoppable.”
The ancestor's tone was filled with emotion.
He also felt pressured.
Remembering his promises to Li Ya, he was filled with shame.
He had promised to help Li Ya ascend to the peak of Immortal Cultivation and become number one in the world!
But seeing Lv Xian and Ji Xiaoyu, and hearing the legends of An Hao, he felt the pressure.
The talent of these three was too exaggerated, and their backgrounds far surpassed Li Ya's. The ancestor thought he couldn't provide Li Ya with an advantage in cultivation resources.
“It's a good thing that the Supreme Sect is so powerful. With rivals, I have something to look forward to,” Li Ya thought confidently, leaving the ancestor unsure of how to respond.
After a long time.
The ancestor finally spoke: “Just stay nearby. When he wakes up, ask him if he has a master. If not, accept him for me.”
“Huh? I accept him as a disciple?”
“Of course not, he will be my disciple!”
“What do you mean? If he is your disciple, isn't he my ancestor?”
“Be content. Without my help, you wouldn't even have the qualifications to compete with such a genius.”
The ancestor said rudely. Although Li Ya was annoyed, he didn't argue back.
He began to wait, while contemplating the sword intent of the Taicang Divine-Shocking Sword.
He waited for an entire night.
The next morning, Wu Jue finally woke up.
He had gained enlightenment more than once, so his expression remained calm.
He turned to leave, but Li Ya stopped him.
“Brother, do you have a master?” Li Ya asked directly.
Wu Jue's eyes flashed with coldness. He bypassed Li Ya and walked toward the stage.
Li Ya blocked him again, which made Wu Jue furious. He raised his hand to push Li Ya away.
Li Ya's physical body was strong; he was not afraid of this Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
Wu Jue's right hand pressed against Li Ya's shoulder. Feeling the strength of his opponent, he clenched his fist and pushed hard.
Li Ya was caught off guard and was pushed back two steps.
Before he could react, Wu Jue controlled his sword and flew away, making it difficult for Li Ya to chase him since causing trouble in the city was prohibited.
“How is this possible… such great strength…”
Li Ya was shocked and bewildered.
The ancestor sighed in his heart: “It's a pity, don't chase him. Avoid making enemies.”
Li Ya lost his smile. As a Core Formation Realm cultivator, he had been pushed away by a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. He had taken the Dragon Image Divine Primordial, a treasure pursued by the Demon Clan.
It was too humiliating!
No way!
I'm still not strong enough!
Li Ya clenched his fists, his arrogance disappearing.
In autumn, the Outer Gate City became bustling with activity.
Gu An and Wu Jue gathered in an inn, drinking and chatting, waiting for the upcoming battle.
Wu Jue was complaining to Gu An about meeting Li Ya last month. At the mention of Li Ya, he became furious, feeling that Li Ya had insulted him.
Gu An nodded after listening, saying: “Indeed, it's quite odd. Asking such a question out of nowhere, never mind. Don't think about him, he is just a passerby in your life. You will become a genius eventually, why bother with such a small role?”
Although the person Wu Jue spoke of was a bit despicable, Gu An thought it wasn't worth holding a grudge. Wu Jue didn't need to worry about such small matters. When Wu Jue grew up, he couldn't imagine? Would he kill anyone he disliked?
He didn't want Wu Jue to become such a person.
Wu Jue nodded, saying: “Naturally, I won't hold a grudge. I'm just venting to you. You know, you are my only friend.”
Gu An asked, “When will you reveal your talent?”
The inn was crowded, most people were chatting about Sword Venerable Fudao and Daoist Tianjian, not paying attention to them.
Hearing Gu An's question, Wu Jue shook his head: “It's fine just like this.”
He didn't trust others, especially since there had been internal strife in the Supreme Sect before. The former Sect Leader even conducted a blood sacrifice on his disciples, making him wary of the Supreme Sect.
Gu An took a storage bag from his waist and handed it to him.
Wu Jue was suspicious, took the storage bag, and probed inside with his divine sense. His face turned pale, quickly pushing it back, saying: “Brother Gu, I can't accept this… how do you have so many…”
He had always thought Gu An was an ordinary, lowly disciple like him but didn't expect Gu An to have so many elixirs.
Gu An smiled: “I am the Valley Master of Medicine Valley. These are elixirs I have refined. Just accept them. I'm not too eager to become strong. I fear fighting the most. Growing flowers and plants is my joy, so the elixirs suit you better. When you become strong, you must protect me.”
“But… this is too much…” Wu Jue hesitated.
“You said I'm your only friend. Just accept it. If you feel bad, consider me your elder brother. An elder brother is like a father. As your teacher, I will take good care of you. I have plenty of elixirs.”
Gu An made funny faces, making Wu Jue smile and glare at him.
“I'm two years older than you; I should be the elder brother!”
“Forget it, your temperament is not as mature as mine.”
They began to bicker, and the smile on Wu Jue's face grew wider.
In the end, Wu Jue accepted the storage bag, secretly vowing to never let anyone bully Gu An in the future.
They continued drinking.
After thirty minutes, a loud voice echoed through the Outer Gate City:
“I, Daoist Tianjian, have come to challenge the sword of Sword Venerable Fudao of the Supreme Sect!”
As the voice fell, a vast, majestic sword intent enveloped the entire Outer Gate City.
Wu Jue's expression changed immediately, turning to look. Gu An had already sensed Daoist Tianjian's presence, so he remained unmoved.
Daoist Tianjian was indeed very strong, even slightly stronger than the Night Cultivator Fairy of the Ephemera Sect. He was estimated to have the cultivation level of the fourth or fifth layer of the Mystic Heart Realm.
Reaching the Mystic Heart Realm, a small realm gap was difficult to surpass. No wonder Daoist Tianjian dared to come.
Gu An stood up, saying: “I just remembered I have something to do at the Elixir Hall. I need to quickly get it done so I can watch the battle between Sword Venerable Fudao and Daoist Tianjian. I'll come find you afterward.”
With that, he hurriedly left.
Wu Jue didn't have time to stop him. After going downstairs, Wu Jue leaned out the window and shouted, “Hurry up!”
Gu An waved without turning back and quickly disappeared around the street corner.
Daoist Tianjian has come!
The Outer Gate City stirred, with more and more cultivators flying out, searching for Daoist Tianjian's figure in the sky.
At this moment, a ten-zhang-tall sword, gleaming with white light, descended from the sky and hovered above the South City Gate. Atop the sword's hilt stood an elder with the demeanor of an immortal, his hair white, garbed in white robes, with no sword or magic artifact in hand, his arms crossed behind him.
He closed his eyes and began waiting.
The news spread quickly, and disciples from all directions in Outer Gate City hurried over.
Lv Baitian brought An Hao to the Heavenly Repair Platform. Soon after, Xuan Quan, Gu Zong, and other high-ranking members of the Supreme Sect appeared one by one.
An Hao gazed curiously at Daoist Tianjian's figure.
He now knew that his master was the Sword Venerable Fudao of the Supreme Sect. He came specifically to watch the fight, believing his master to be invincible, so he wasn't worried about his master losing.
He just wanted to see how Daoist Tianjian would lose!
Xuan Quan stroked his beard, feeling emotional: “Such profound sword intent and deep Dao level, as formidable as ever after a thousand years.”
He and Daoist Tianjian were cultivators from the same era, having witnessed Daoist Tianjian's prowess, so he didn't underestimate him.
The figures on the Heavenly Repair Platform rapidly multiplied, and the vast platform quickly became crowded.
Li Ya also arrived, standing on a rooftop, observing Daoist Tianjian from afar.
Daoist Tianjian's aura was too overwhelming, giving people the feeling of facing an immortal descending to the mortal world, far surpassing the Traveler of Graceful Crane. This made Li Ya somewhat nervous.
“This old guy is something else,” Li Ya remarked in his heart.
“Indeed, he might be above the Unification level. Daring to show up at this critical moment indicates his strong confidence, stronger than I was in my previous life,” the ancestor said gravely.
Stronger than you, again?
Li Ya really wanted to retort but held back.
The ancestor could hear his thoughts, causing an awkward silence between them as they waited for Sword Venerable Fudao to appear.
Prince Si Zhe from Tianwei ascended the Heavenly Repair Platform, smiling: “Everyone, watch closely. Witness the first sword of Tianwei. See what it means to be the Sword Immortal of Mortal World!”
Hearing his words, the disciples of the Supreme Sect were displeased, but the presence of Daoist Tianjian was too strong. Under his watchful eyes, they didn't dare speak boldly.
Time passed.
Shen Zhen also came. She stood on a rooftop, taking out a pen and paper, eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at Daoist Tianjian.
Meanwhile.
Gu An had already moved to a forest. Sitting under a tree, he pondered how to defeat Daoist Tianjian.
Rarely taking action, it had to be a grand display under so many eyes!
Gu An looked at the leaf in his hand, then suddenly threw it to the ground, muttering: “Never mind, just let them witness the real Taicang Divine-Shocking Sword.”
