Chapter 257: The Former Lord of the Divine City

In the imperial study, after hearing what Li Xuandao said, Ye Yan replied, "I don't know either. When I left, I didn't see Master getting acquainted with any great cultivator."

He was also wondering in his heart.

He felt that Xuan Gu had extraordinary luck, and Su Han, who had disrupted the Taicang Dynasty's immortal world decades ago, was his senior brother.

To this day, he can't help but sigh when he thinks of Su Han.

Thinking back to the time when he, Zhen Qin, and Su Han followed Gu An to the Third Medicine Valley to practice. At that time, how could they have imagined that they would achieve what they have today?

Although Su Han's life or death is unknown, the commotion he caused has proved his strength. They are no longer the unknown little cultivators they once were.

After hearing his words, Li Xuandao did not say anything, but fell into thought.

For a moment, the imperial study fell into silence. The two men had their own thoughts, wondering whether there was an expert behind Gu An.

for a long time.

Li Xuandao said, "You can go down. The negotiations with the Great Jiang Dynasty are almost over. You have to go out to sea. This matter concerns Taicang's thousand-year plan. You can't be careless."

"yes!"

Ye Yan accepted the order, bowed and left.

Li Xuandao looked out the window with a vague look in his eyes.

“I have to break through Xuanxin as soon as possible, otherwise many things cannot be carried out.” Li Xuandao thought silently.

Compared with Li Lingtian's achievements, he cares more about himself.

So far, only Lu Xian knew about his hidden cultivation, and now Lu Xian is not sure how high his realm is.

Li Xuandao is very ambitious. He wants to be an immortal emperor and reign forever. To do this, he needs the strength to protect himself.

It was a good thing that Li Lingtian suffered this setback. He could practice harder in the future to avoid causing trouble for his imperial power.

Thinking of this, Li Xuandao smiled.

"Yang Jian, that's good. I will look forward to your future."

…

Under the blue sky and white clouds.

Among the mountains, Li Ya was meditating on the lake. He was shirtless and surrounded by mist. His hair was fluttering in the wind and he exuded a powerful aura, making the lake sparkle like the light of a sword.

A figure leaped over the high mountains, fell from the sky, and landed on the lake, causing ripples. His feet did not touch the lake.

It was Zhang Buku! Zhang Buku was wearing a robe made of animal skins, with waist-length hair, and a very wild temperament.

He put his hands on his hips and said with a smile, "Brother Li, An Hao has made a big fuss again recently, do you want to know?"

Li Ya replied without even opening his eyes: "Tell me, what happened to him?"

The three of them joined the Xinghai Sect together. Although Li Ya, who held the Shenyi City, was famous in the sect, his growth rate could not be compared with An Hao.

An Hao was the greatest genius of all time in Taixuan Sect. When he came to Xinghai Sect, the same was true. He made all the geniuses pale in comparison.

"He has cultivated the Lieyuan Treasure Body. It is said that this is a physique that could dominate the world in ancient times. Although the Xinghai Sect has methods to cultivate it, he is the first person to have cultivated it in tens of thousands of years."

Zhang Buku sighed and said that since taking the magic pill, his talent has also transformed. He can be considered a genius, but compared with An Hao, he is still far behind.

Speaking of which, he always felt awkward when meeting An Hao, because they were both from the Taixuan Sect and had to be polite, but he really disliked An Hao.

There was no reason for this dislike. He didn't know why, but whenever he looked at An Hao's face, he felt disgusted. He always felt as if he had seen An Hao somewhere before.

Li Ya opened his eyes and frowned.

He had always targeted An Hao, but the more he chased, the more powerless he felt.

An Hao seemed to be the protagonist of this world, and anyone would pale in comparison to him.

He had heard of the Lieyuan Treasure Body. After mastering it, one's body would turn into the bright sun and become invincible in the world.

Zhang Buku continued, "Today the sect is going to explore the Broken Sea Rift. I have signed up. Are you going?"

Li Ya shook his head and said, "I still have to improve my cultivation, so I don't want to go. Of course, if you want me to go with you, that's not impossible."

Zhang Bu groaned bitterly, "I don't want you to follow me. It's too unlucky to follow you. I mainly came to tell you this so that you won't be unable to find me."

Li Ya glared at him and said unhappily: "Get out of here now, you are the one who is in trouble!"

The two started bickering again, and when Zhang Buku mentioned Gu An, Li Ya was defeated.

Zhang left unsatisfied.

Li Ya looked at Zhang Buku's back and cursed in his heart. When Zhang Buku came back, he would definitely teach Zhang Buku a lesson.

…

Another Spring Festival is here.

In the Third Medicine Valley, the disciples were busy hanging up lights and decorations. Li Lingtian was also busy following the disciples, mainly following Yang Jian. Seeing Yang Jian busy, he had to follow.

In the attic.

Gu An was discussing a strange book with Shen Zhen. They expressed their opinions and argued with each other, but neither could convince the other.

Sudden.

Gu An seemed to sense something and frowned.

Shen Zhen noticed his change in expression, waved his hand in front of him, and asked, "What? Are you angry?"

Gu An shook his head and said, "No, I just thought of something and got distracted."

"Thinking about something? You don't respect me!" Shen Zhen glared and said angrily.

She stood up, put the books on the table into her storage bag, then got up and left.

Gu An didn't stop her, he was too lazy to indulge her.

He sat back on the throne that had been occupied by Shen Zhen, and communicated with the gods and spirits in his heart.

"Are you sure?" he asked in his mind.

The voice of the magical fairy sounded: "Confirmed, it is his breath. Although I have never seen him, his breath is left in the city. I can't be wrong. The previous owner of the magical city is in that big crack!"

The big crack it refers to is the huge crack that runs across the ocean. Its appearance has also caused rumors of a world-destroying tide.

The magical fairy just sensed the previous owner of the magical city from that big crack.

Gu An wanted to learn about the previous master's cultivation from it, but unfortunately, it didn't know either.

In its words, it was born only after the magical city left that man's hands.

This is the case for all immortal spirits that are treasures of the immortal path. They can only serve one master. Once their master dies, the immortal spirit will also be annihilated.

At this moment, Li Ya was still staying in the Xinghai Sect, far away from the big ocean rift, but the divine spirit felt that breath.

Gu An looked towards the big crack and found that many monks were escaping from the crack, as if something terrible was chasing them.

When his spiritual sense approached the big crack, he felt a powerful aura, which made him dare not to infiltrate rashly.

It made him feel very strong, and he thought that the Immortal Xiaoyao might be hidden in that big crack.

Gu An withdrew his consciousness and stopped looking.

There are so many powerful forces in this world, and there are countless great monks. As long as they don't threaten him, he doesn't bother to care. Anyway, the big crack is extremely far away from the mainland, and there are two continents and countless islands in between.

Gu An chatted with the magical fairy for a while, and only felt relieved after he was sure that the previous owner could no longer control the Magic City.

He stood up and went downstairs. As he walked up the stairs, he saw the disciples busy in the valley and a smile appeared on his face.

"There are constant disasters in this world, but if they can be delayed by a few decades, it can also allow a generation to live in peace."

Gu An thought so, then went downstairs to where the most disciples gathered.

There was a group of dozens of disciples gathered under an old tree, talking a lot. Among them, two people were playing chess, and one of them was the Nine-Fingered God.

The other person is the most skilled chess-playing disciple in the valley and also one of the most experienced disciples in the valley. He is respected as Master Lu. He has stayed in the Third Medicine Valley for a hundred years, from his youth to his old age. Because of his mediocre aptitude for cultivation, he has always stayed in the Medicine Valley and has no intention of leaving.

At this moment, Mr. Lu frowned, his right hand holding the chess piece trembled, and he was reluctant to make a move.

The Nine-Fingered God looked calm and felt relieved in his heart.

This old man is so good at chess that he almost lost!

Ever since he played Go in the Third Medicine Valley, Nine-Fingered God became fascinated with Go. He felt that the chessboard contained infinite mysteries and had similar wonders to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, so he would come to the Third Medicine Valley to play Go every once in a while.

Go was invented by Gu An, but it has not yet been promoted and is currently only popular in Yao Valley.

Gu An created Go simply because he was bored. He had no intention of promoting it. Even in his previous life, he was only a Go enthusiast.

At this time, Gu An squeezed through the crowd and saw that Lu Lao was sweating profusely. He couldn't help but say, "Xiao Lu, why don't I take your place?"

Shameless Youxian, bullying my ordinary boy from Medicine Valley? How can this be justified!

Old Lu looked up and saw that it was Gu An. He quickly stood up and gave way to him. The other disciples became excited.

In their hearts, Gu An is the best at playing chess, after all, it was he who created this game.

Looking at Gu An who was sitting down, Nine-Fingered Divine Lord smiled and said, "My friend, do you think there is still hope in this situation?"

Gu An smiled and said, "If we had come three steps later, there would have been no hope."

The Nine-Fingered God's smile froze instantly.

The reason why Youxian is so good at playing chess is that he can deduce countless possibilities in an instant and choose the better plan of moves. From the moment Lu Lao made the first move, Nine-Fingered God had already seen the outcome.

After knowing the rules of Go, the Nine-Fingered God can easily defeat ordinary people. However, it is precisely because he can deduce countless possibilities that he can feel the subtlety of Go.

He plays chess not to win, but to experience the process and understand his own philosophy through chess.

He didn't expect that Gu An could see through his chess moves.

Under his gaze, Gu An pinched the chess piece and dropped it onto the board, and it suddenly came back to life, which made him frown.

He immediately made his move, and Gu An followed.

Unlike other people who played chess slowly, these two of them made their moves very quickly.

What we are competing for is the ability of deduction!

The disciples around were so shocked that they dared not breathe.

Li Lingtian also squeezed in to join in the fun. Looking at the momentum of the two people playing chess, he became interested in Go for the first time.

The sounds of one piece after another falling into the ground formed a kind of music, revealing a fierce momentum.

Sudden.

The Nine-Fingered Lord stopped, retracted his hand that was suspended in the air, put down the chess piece, frowned, and said, "I lost."

As soon as these words were spoken, cheers rang out all around. Mr. Lu wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled heartily.

The Nine-Fingered God stared at Gu An, as if he wanted to see through him.

Although this boy has a somewhat extraordinary temperament, his cultivation and strength are not that impressive. How can he beat him? (End of this chapter)
