Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Golden List's Note, Ghost in the Night

“The person behind him is not simple!”

Lu Lingjun used the Sound Transmission Skill to remind Gu An, her gaze bypassing Zhou Tongyou to look at the fat elder behind him.

Gu An had already seen the opponent's cultivation level but still cast a Life Span Detection.

[Zhou Li (Unification Realm, Seventh Layer): 1478/3000/3100]

Surname Zhou again!

Gu An was curious. When Zhou Tongyou came last time, there was no Great Cultivator following him.

Zhou Tongyou looked at Lu Lingjun and smiled: “Brother Gu, it's been many years, and you have experts protecting you. It seems you have done quite well these years.”

Gu An smiled and asked: “I wonder if Brother Zhou is here to participate in the Golden List Tournament this time?”

“Indeed, this time, I aim to take the top spot and become famous. What do you say, a spar at your Medicine Valley?” Zhou Tongyou asked with burning eyes.

Although it had been many years, Gu An's cultivation level was still mediocre, but he felt Gu An had his strengths.

Gu An shook his head and said: “Forget it, I won't ask for trouble now. Supreme Sect is full of geniuses these days, you should find someone else.”

“Haha, I came early to visit after hearing of An Hao's fame. Since you are unwilling, I will go find An Hao now,” Zhou Tongyou said laughingly. After speaking, he turned and left.

Zhou Li, in the Unification Realm Seventh Layer, smiled and nodded at Lu Lingjun, then followed Zhou Tongyou.

After they had walked away, Lu Lingjun turned around and asked: “A Nascent Soul Realm cultivator wants to spar with you?”

Zhou Tongyou had already achieved the Nascent Soul Realm and did not conceal his aura at all.

“At that time, he suppressed his cultivation level to spar with me, and I slightly had the upper hand,” Gu An said, pretending to be proud.

Lu Lingjun chuckled and said: “I didn't think you had this skill; indeed, appearances can be deceiving.”

After five years together, they were already familiar, lacking formalities.

Of course, she still had grievances regarding Lv Baitian's arrangements, so her attitude towards Gu An was not as respectful as before.

“What are you saying, am I not handsome?”

“A bit handsome, good enough to be a cauldron for a female demon.”

“Cough, cough, you are a female cultivator, please mind your words!”

Gu An gave Lu Lingjun a sidelong glance and then walked forward.

Since Lu Lingjun was sent back, her temperament had changed, and Gu An felt awkward, knowing he was at fault, he could only compromise.

Blame Lv Baitian!

What kind of arrangement was this?

Gu An didn't need Lu Lingjun's protection, fortunately, Lu Lingjun was also slack. The reason she came to the Outer Sect today was for her matter, and she just accompanied him.

Lu Lingjun looked at Gu An's back, snorted, and then walked in another direction.

Gu An prepared to visit Wu Jue.

He found that there were many Great Cultivators in the city, most of them hiding their cultivation level.

It seemed that the Golden List Tournament would cause trouble. If the Supreme Sect succeeded, it would be easier to host such tournaments in the future, and other sects would not sit idly by.

Gu An was not worried at all; besides Xuan Quan, another Supreme Elder had recently returned to the Supreme Sect, whose cultivation was slightly weaker than Xuan Quan but still in the Mystic Heart Realm.

With two Mystic Heart Realm elders guarding, it would not be easy for other sects to shake Supreme Sect.

In thirty minutes, Gu An arrived at Wu Jue's courtyard.

Wu Jue was practicing punches in the yard, without mobilizing spiritual power, only practicing moves. Bare-chested, he looked very strong, and each punch could shake the space.

[Wu Jue (Foundation Establishment Realm, Ninth Layer): 69/350/3500]

His maximum lifespan had increased again.

Gu An noticed that whenever he did not check on Wu Jue for more than two months, Wu Jue would gain enlightenment. In one year, he visited every month, but Wu Jue could not gain enlightenment.

After enlightenment, Wu Jue emitted a solitary, lonely aura.

This made Gu An have odd thoughts.

Could it be that as long as Wu Jue is neglected, he will gain enlightenment?

Hmm, he decided not to check on him for the next year and see how far Wu Jue could gain enlightenment.

Gu An hoped that Wu Jue would catch up with An Hao; this way, An Hao would have more rivals and not become overly arrogant.

Smooth sailing was not always good!

Seeing Gu An, Wu Jue glanced at him without making a sound.

“Look what good thing I brought you?” Gu An's voice came.

Upon hearing, Wu Jue reluctantly walked towards Gu An and asked: “What good thing?”

Gu An took out an invitation from his storage bag, with golden edges and a red background, engraved with four large characters.

Golden List Tournament!

“You… How do you have this?” Wu Jue asked in surprise.

The Golden List Tournament was not for everyone; participants needed certain fame and had to pay ten top-grade spirit stones for an invitation.

The rewards for the Golden List Tournament were also very rich. The top hundred winners all received prizes, with higher ranks yielding better rewards.

Wu Jue had naturally heard of it and envied those talents.

Gu An smiled proudly and said: “I put in a lot of effort.”

“But with my cultivation level, it's useless to participate,” Wu Jue shook his head.

Gu An comforted him: “Don't worry. The Golden List Tournament compares talent, not cultivation level. As long as your strength in the same realm is strong enough, you can stand out.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

Since he set the rules, how could it not be true?

Gu An thought to himself. Wu Jue lacked resources, staying hidden was not a solution. In reality, Wu Jue wanted to stand out but was too shy to ask for help.

Wu Jue accepted the invitation, hugged Gu An, patted him heavily on the back, and then grabbed his shoulders, saying: “Brother, I won't talk much, but I promise not to disgrace you!”

Having gained enlightenment several times, Wu Jue could feel his changes, developing confidence that was slowly altering his personality.

Confidence of a strong person!

Gu An smiled and said: “There are still five years. You must focus on cultivation. I won't see you again for the next five years.”

Wu Jue was startled: “Why? What will keep you busy for five years?”

“It's a sect matter, not convenient to discuss,” Gu An shook his head.

Could it be because of this invitation?

Wu Jue suddenly felt the Golden List Tournament invitation in his hand was heavy. He hesitated.

Gu An reminded: “Besides the Sunset Fist, don't forget to practice the Gale Shadowless Leg; it will make you faster.”

Wu Jue nodded heavily.

This time at the Golden List Tournament, he swore to make a name for himself!

At the end of summer, in Mystic Valley.

Gu An lay under a tree, one hand under his head, the other holding a book, reading with relish.

A figure came before him, looking down at him, it was Li Ya.

Li Ya still carried a heavy sword, wore a fitted black outfit, his long hair tied behind his head with a blue ribbon, revealing a determined and handsome face.

“Cough, cough, Junior Brother Gu.” Li Ya feigned a cough.

Supreme Secret Records…

He didn't expect Junior Brother Gu to read it too.

Also, with the same name, he must feel immersed.

Li Ya thought silently.

Gu An quickly stood up, putting the Supreme Secret Records into his bosom. He already sensed Li Ya's presence, but since Li Ya practiced an energy concealing sorcery, he pretended not to know.

“Senior Brother Li, why are you here?” Gu An asked, pretending to be pleasantly surprised.

Li Ya replied: “I've been back for several years, planning to go to Cangzhou, then return to participate in the Golden List Tournament.”

Gu An sighed: “So busy, Senior Brother Li, you must be very powerful now.”

Li Ya raised his chin, full of spirit: “Not very powerful, but getting the top ten at the Golden List Tournament is not difficult.”

“Deserving of Senior Brother Li, the pride of our Mystic Valley.”

“Indeed.”

“Haven't you been injured over the years?”

“Of course not, since I parted ways with you, I haven't bled. Your senior is not the same as before,” Li Ya said seriously.

Such a show-off!

Gu An wished Li Ya would call him grand ancestor.

Li Ya took out two items from his storage bag, an invitation and a long wooden box.

“This is an invitation to the Golden List Tournament; you should participate. This box contains Ten Thousand-Year Wood Spirit Ginseng. With five years to digest it, your spiritual power can change dramatically, helping you achieve a good ranking,” Li Ya explained.

Gu An was stunned.

Li Ya directly put them in his arms, saying: “Don't refuse, or I'll be angry.”

After saying that, he let go, and Gu An quickly caught them.

Li Ya turned to leave.

“Leaving already?” Gu An quickly asked.

Li Ya waved his hand: “Cultivating the Path of Immortality, no time for chit-chat. If you want to see me, perform well at the Golden List Tournament.”

He leapt, turning into a sword light, flying across the mountains, disappearing without a trace.

Gu An stared at the invitation in his hand, speechless for a long time.

On the mountain top, Chu Jingfeng turned his head, looking in the direction Li Ya disappeared, frowning.

He remembered Li Ya. Back then, due to Li Ya's prince status, he even spoke a few words with him, encouraging him to practice diligently.

After many years, their statuses and positions were vastly different, and he was not the sky.

Gu An shook his head with a smile, then put the items into his storage bag.

This guy always gave things when they met, seemingly knowing his personality, and always giving items that boosted cultivation levels and qualifications.

Another year saw the arrival of the Spring Festival.

After dusk, Mystic Valley was very lively.

Gu An had just come from the Third Medicine Valley, sitting around a long table with the disciples. Zhen Qin sat on his right, continuously pouring wine for him and talking about matters in the immortal cultivation world.

“The Hateful Heaven Divine Sword appeared in the Great Jiang Dynasty nearby, turning the immortal cultivation world upside down. It's said that the Hateful Heaven Divine Sword has reached the Transformation Realm and is accompanied by demons, very terrifying. I'm not sure if it's Senior Brother Su Han,” Zhen Qin sighed towards the end.

Talking about Su Han made her sad. They used to be so close, but now their paths diverged into good and evil.

Gu An said: “He is no longer your senior brother. Don't call him that anymore to avoid trouble for you and us.”

Zhen Qin wanted to argue but looking at the many disciples in Medicine Valley, she remained silent.

Gu An began picking up food for her while watching the other disciples play drinking games.

After a bowl of wine, Zhen Qin perked up and started talking about An Hao. Mentioning An Hao, her face filled with admiration, she spoke endlessly.

Gu An listened attentively. Suddenly, he sensed something and his expression changed slightly.

After Zhen Qin finished, he said: “I need to visit my room; you can continue later. I want to know about An Hao and the specific grievances with the Wanyin Sect demon.”

After speaking, he stood up and returned to his room.

Zhen Qin was not puzzled, starting to toast with Lu Jiujia.

Back in his room, Gu An activated the restrictions, then stepped a hundred miles away.

In the dark forest, there were thirteen ghost-like figures moving forward. Four of them carried a big coffin.

They did not notice Gu An nearby, spying on them in the dark.

A group of Unification Realm cultivators!
