Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Arrival in the Ocean, Merging Cultivation Technique
Faced with Tian Yao'er's multiple attempts at pleading, Gu An finally agreed to stay with her overnight. Tonight, he would break through a lifespan of ten million years, allowing himself to relax for an evening.
After Gu An agreed, Tian Yao'er became even more cheerful.
To celebrate reaching a ten-million-year lifespan, Gu An also returned to Mystic Valley to fetch some lamb for a barbecue, which moved Tian Yao'er greatly. She even thought Gu An was commemorating the special day.
During the barbecue, Gu An's divine sense remained locked on the battlefield at the edge of Heavenly Phoenix Mountain.
More and more demons were gathering. The Great Cultivator in the Mystic Heart Realm leading Ji Xiaoyu and the others could not secure victory immediately, which dragged Ji Xiaoyu and the others into the battle.
If the fight continued like this, doom was likely.
It was uncertain whether these people were from the Ji Family or from the Seven Stars Spirit Realm.
Gu An pondered this, while chatting with Tian Yao'er, making sure she did not notice any flaws in his behavior.
An hour later, the Great Cultivator in the Mystic Heart Realm sustained severe injuries and had to lead Ji Xiaoyu and the others to escape. But by now, it was too late to flee.
Gu An lay under the tree, giving pointers to Tian Yao'er on her cultivation.
Tian Yao'er was continuously practicing the Limitless Freedom Step in front of him. Occasionally, he gave his critiques. For each of his comments, Tian Yao'er felt aggrieved, her small mouth pouting.
“You promised to lie down and read books together!”
“Liar!”
“Big liar!”
The more Tian Yao'er trained, the redder her eyes became.
Gu An found her expression amusing.
Today, he would teach her a lesson.
The harder you try to get something, the tougher it is to obtain. That was the meaning of life!
If she started having these wild thoughts after just a few years, how would she endure thousands, or even tens of thousands of years?
Gu An was moved by his own broad-mindedness. Tian Yao'er was indeed lucky to have met him. If it were another master, she would be doomed!
Under the black sky, Ji Xiaoyu, clad in black, was fleeing quickly through the wilderness haunted by monsters and demons. Upon seeing her figure, these creatures all charged toward her.
With a sword in her right hand, she used the Heavenly Dragon Demon-Suppressing Form. A golden dharma aspect appeared behind her, and golden dragons emerged from it, massacring demons and monsters from all directions.
Soon, she dissolved the Heavenly Dragon Demon-Suppressing Form and slew demons and monsters with her sword.
She could no longer tell directions and could only run in a single direction.
She did not know how much time had passed.
Ji Xiaoyu's spiritual power depleted. As she ran, she took Spirit Energy Elixirs, but the spiritual power provided by these elixirs was completely inadequate for fighting.
She stopped beneath a hill, swiftly took out small flags and talisman papers, and within five breaths, set up a formation, becoming invisible within a circled area.
She sat down to meditate, beginning to cultivate energy.
Demons flew over her head, unable to see her form.
However, the ground began to tremble, rocks jumped up, making Ji Xiaoyu open her eyes and frown.
From her viewpoint, a colossal figure loomed behind the mountains, faintly discernible. It was a giant demon in shape-shifting form, with a human-like body and a lion's head. Its long mane twisted like tendrils, horrifyingly menacing in the dark night.
“Where do you think you're escaping to, little lady?”
A cold, violent voice rang out, followed by a storm that swept through the mountain wilderness, kicking up waves of dust.
After the gust hit Ji Xiaoyu's formation, the airborne rocks and currents avoided the formation, which highlighted its outline instead.
Ji Xiaoyu stared at the approaching giant demon silhouette with a calm expression, without a trace of fear in her eyes.
She merely sighed softly, and a faint golden mark appeared on her forehead.
Before long, the terrifying giant demon arrived in front of her. He squatted slowly, the cloud-like sea revealing his lion head with sharp fangs, blood-red eyes, and a mane, like flames from hell, blazing fiercely.
Suddenly.
The terrifying giant demon stopped. He raised his eyes to look behind Ji Xiaoyu.
The golden mark on Ji Xiaoyu's forehead had expanded, covering her entire forehead like a complex network of lines.
She sensed something and turned to look.
On top of the hill behind her stood a figure, a man in purple clothes with a mask on his face, standing against the wind.
She was secretly startled, not having noticed the other approaching.
“Where did you come from?” the terrifying lion demon roared in anger, swinging a palm toward the hill.
With one palm strike, Ji Xiaoyu's formation shattered under immense pressure. Small flags plunged into the ground, talisman papers fluttered, and her hairpiece was blown off, her hair dancing wildly.
Boom——
With a deafening roar, the earth shook and the sky trembled, forcing even Ji Xiaoyu, in the seventh layer of the Nascent Soul Realm, to close her eyes.
When the unsettling aura dissipated, she opened her eyes to find the terrifying lion demon left with only his upper body, blood raining down. The demon clouds in the night sky dispersed, revealing splendid, beautiful stars.
Ji Xiaoyu's eyes widened in astonishment.
That lion demon was so powerful, even her Void Crossing Realm companions were devoured by it.
Subconsciously, she turned to look. The mysterious man still stood on the hill, his arms hanging naturally, as if he had not been the one to strike.
The man was none other than Gu An!
To avoid being recognized, Gu An had made his figure larger, taller by one head, with disheveled hair and an almost invisible aura.
He didn't use the Nine Extremes Yin Yang Body because news of Sword Venerable Fudao mastering the Demon Shadow Divine Skill had already spread. He didn't want Ji Xiaoyu linking him to Sword Venerable Fudao.
Ji Xiaoyu quickly stood up and bowed to Gu An, saying, “Thank you for saving me, senior.”
“Why is a Ji Family disciple in the Demon Land?” Gu An asked in a hoarse voice, easily reminiscent of a weathered man in his forties or fifties.
Killing that Great Demon had granted him six hundred years of lifespan, a tremendous bounty.
Ji Xiaoyu replied, “I followed the Seven Stars Spirit Realm for training. Does senior have any relationship with my family?”
Gu An appeared in front of Ji Xiaoyu out of thin air, placing a hand on her shoulder, and said, “Let's talk in another place.”
Before Ji Xiaoyu could respond, everything blurred before her eyes.
The long-distance space shift made her uncomfortable, unable to move.
A few moments later, she felt her feet touch the ground. Opening her eyes, she found herself in a cave.
The space here was not large, with layered rocks, a mountain wall in front of her pouring underground water, making it very humid. Looking up, she saw numerous crystal stones hanging from the ceiling, emitting various lights that illuminated the cave.
“Stay here to heal.”
Gu An left this message before disappearing into thin air.
Ji Xiaoyu stood silently. She extended her divine sense, finding the cave over a thousand zhang beneath the surface, filled with spiritual energy, perfect for healing.
Although she did not know who the person was, given the means he displayed, she understood she couldn't escape.
The person seemed to have no malicious intent. Otherwise, she was now exhausted, a prime time to attack her.
Ji Xiaoyu sat cross-legged and began to cultivate energy to restore her spiritual power.
On the other side.
Gu An returned to Heavenly Phoenix Mountain. Tian Yao'er was sulking, but seeing him with two bottles of fine wine, she immediately beamed with joy.
Since the last time she got drunk, she had fallen in love with alcohol.
Half an hour later, Tian Yao'er was drunk and lying on Gu An's lap. Gu An patted her back, a smile on his face.
In the morning, Gu An did not immediately return to the Supreme Sect nor look for Ji Xiaoyu, as she would not recover her spiritual power and injuries in just one night.
He went directly south, flying toward the ocean.
Utilizing the Nine Extremes Yin Yang Body, he transformed into a shadow form, then performed the Limitless Freedom Step to swiftly leave the Taicang Dynasty and enter the ocean.
The vast sea and open sky widened Gu An's view, lifting his spirits.
His figure constantly shifted, moving quickly above the sea of clouds.
On the ocean, a large ship sailed quickly.
On the deck lay a man in green robes, lying on his back with a book in his hands. Suddenly, he saw something, sitting up abruptly. However, upon closer inspection, he found nothing in the sky.
“That's odd, did I see wrong?” the man in green frowned deeply.
He lost interest in reading, putting his book, the Investiture of the Gods, back into his storage bag before walking to the bow of the ship, gazing into the distance.
The ocean stretched endlessly, but he could already feel the breath of his homeland.
He smiled, murmuring, “A demon calamity, another opportunity for me to turn the tide in my favor.”
Gu An took over five hundred steps, finally landing on a mist-shrouded island. The island was vast, sparsely populated with living creatures, with only six islands within ten thousand li, perfect for his breakthrough.
He quietly slipped into the forest, sitting under an old tree, and immediately activated the Life Span Barrier.
He pulled up his attribute panel, seeing his lifespan of 10,010,000 years, a smile forming on his face.
First, upgrade his cultivation technique!
Gu An began using the life span fusion function, merging the Primordial Earth Immortal Skill with four basic cultivation techniques of different attributes.
[Due to the significant difference between these five techniques, forcibly merging them will not necessarily exceed the most powerful technique. Do you wish to continue?]
What? Did it mean the fusion would take an average?
Gu An cursed inwardly; was this a way to waste his lifespan?
Fortunately, he prepared other techniques. Over the years, he had killed countless enemies, searched many souls, and transcribed many techniques himself, just in case.
He immediately took out four high-rank techniques, starting to cultivate them one by one.
He did not need to abandon his original cultivation, nor did he need to cultivate other attributes of spiritual power. He only needed to run through the sorcery once, allowing the techniques to enter his attribute panel.
After half an hour, Gu An's attribute panel showed four more techniques.
He intended to upgrade them one by one but received a prompt:
[The techniques' attributes conflict. Please choose to abandon and start anew, or forcefully integrate, with a risk of deviation.]
Damn!
Even with a golden finger similar to a system, he could still risk deviation?
Gu An had no choice but to enable the life span fusion function, merging these five techniques.
[Fusion will cost 500,000 years of life span. Do you want to continue?]
This costs five hundred thousand years?
Gu An suppressed his heartache and chose to continue.
[You invested 500,000 years of life span to merge the Primordial Earth Immortal Skill, Karma Fire Dark Sky Skill, Golden Light Spirit Body Art, Vast Earth Vital Energy Skill, Great Cold Heaven Sorcery.]
[Fusion successful. You comprehended Five Elements Taoist Skill.]
