Chapter 382: Changes, Qianling Palace
Ever since Shen Zhen left, whenever Gu An saw Ji Xiaoyu, she ignored him and he pretended to be unaware.
In the days that followed, rumors began to spread in Medicine Valley that Master and Senior Ji were having an emotional conflict.
This led to An Xin unable to help but ask about this matter when she accompanied Gu An to Renjian Peak.
"Stop gossiping. I don't have any conflicts with her."
Gu An glared at An Xin and said unhappily.
An Xin laughed and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she walked aside and started practicing.
At Renjian Peak, she doesn't have to hide her cultivation level, so she cherishes the opportunity to practice at Renjian Peak.
Gu An went down the mountain alone and wandered around.
Because of the previous incident of stealing, Gu An deliberately slowed down the picking at the Renjian Peak. Even so, with the ever-increasing output from the Secluded Cave, he could already gain nearly four million years of life every year.
His total lifespan has exceeded 400 million years!
By maintaining this pace, Gu An will be able to become stronger quickly.
Therefore, he now tries to accept fewer disciples and take fewer actions, so as to avoid pushing up the pace of evolution of the overall situation of the Tianling world.
Gu An walked on the mountain path, looking at Zhu Xi with his mind.
Zhu Xi is in the lowest-ranking sea peak. The Human Peak specially allocates a sea area for disciples in the Immortal Realm to live in. Only when they reach the Nirvana Realm can they worship the sacred peaks like Dingtian Peak.
Many years have passed, Zhu Xi has integrated into the Human World Peak, her presence is not strong, no one knows her talent, and her life is the same as before in Luoyue Divine Lake.
She had just reached the stage of Dan not long ago, and was equivalent to a menial disciple in Renjian Peak, looking after the medicine garden for others, very much like Gu An.
Gu An could feel that there was a huge amount of spiritual power contained in her body. The Taichu Swallowing Yuan Body was like a black hole. It was difficult for anyone other than a Zizaixian to see through her physique.
Once she fully releases it, her cultivation will skyrocket.
In terms of physique, she is definitely the strongest person Gu An has ever seen in the world. Even the ancient treasure body is several levels lower than her.
At this moment, Zhu Xi was planting medicinal herbs. Even though she was the only one in the garden, she behaved very cautiously and looked like an ordinary disciple.
Gu An looked at it for a while, then found it boring and looked away.
He figured out that Zhu Xi would sooner or later have a conflict with Renjian Peak. After her theft of medicinal herbs was exposed, she had a conflict with the monks of Renjian Peak and was eventually expelled from Renjian Peak and even hunted down.
But that time point is still far away.
Gu An had no intention of stopping it. As he walked along, he saw that the fate of many disciples would go against Renjian Peak. The reason for this was that there were too many disciples in Renjian Peak and it was impossible for all of them to stay in Renjian Peak from beginning to end. Even if he stopped it in advance, as long as Renjian Peak continued to recruit disciples, such trouble would still arise.
The deeper Gu An delved into cause and effect and fate, the more he could feel the horror of fate.
Knowing and having the ability to change your destiny is not necessarily a good thing, because once it changes, destiny will become uncertain, and these uncertainties are unpredictable by the person who changed it. Only when there is a cause can the result be speculated, and without a beginning, the result cannot be calculated.
In the process of picking herbs, Gu An has been observing the cause and effect of the monks of Dingtian Peak, and enhancing his understanding of the law of cause and effect through observation.
Night falls.
Gu An did not return to Taixuan Gate, but remained on Dingtian Peak.
He lay in a chair, with the bright moon above his head and a book in his hands, feeling so comfortable.
An Xin was still practicing Qi not far away. There were little stars of light all around her, and she looked ethereal and otherworldly, as if she would ascend to heaven at any time.
The chirping of insects echoes in the courtyard, adding a touch of liveliness to the yard.
Sudden.
Gu An looked up and saw a meteor streaking across the night sky at an extremely fast speed.
Normally, this kind of meteor means that a fairy from heaven and earth has descended, but this time the situation is different. Gu An can feel that the other party's cultivation is far higher than that of a fairy from heaven and earth, and he should be a true immortal with divine thoughts.
Is it possible that the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court are going to go to war again?
Gu An thought so in his heart. The luck of these two forces was too great to be able to isolate the cause and effect deduction. At least he could not fully calculate it.
He hopes for peace in the world. It would be best to wait for a thousand or ten thousand years before fighting. By then, he will be more confident in dealing with any catastrophe.
“It’s time to open up a new medicine valley.”
Gu An thought silently that he had had this idea a long time ago.
He chose the bottom of the sea as the location for the next medicine valley.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
The moon set and the sun rose. The next morning, after Gu An sent An Xin back, he came to Xunxian Island alone and mobilized the part of the profit that belonged to him as the island owner in exchange for a large amount of medicinal herb seeds.
This matter was left to the island owner Xun Hanfeng.
Xun Hanfeng was not puzzled as to why Gu An needed so many herbs. In the world of immortal cultivation, the demand for herbs was no less than that for spirit stones. No one would complain about having few herbs. The higher the realm, the greater the demand for herbs. He would only envy Gu An's ability.
It was not until the evening that Xun Hanfeng handed a high-level storage bag full of medicinal herbs to Gu An.
Night fell again, and Gu An came to the largest sea area in the Tianling world. Under the night sky, the waves were surging, and the scene was extremely depressing.
The demonic aura here is extremely strong, and the aura of human cultivators is very rare.
Gu An flew into the sea. This ocean was extremely deep, with the deepest part more than 100,000 miles from the sea surface. There were many terrifying monsters comparable to the flying fairies in the world, and even the aura of the free and easy immortal.
Because the vast world of Tianling is controlled by human beings, powerful monsters have no choice but to stick together. They form their own world in this ocean, isolated from the rest of the world.
When Gu An dived for a distance, the surrounding environment became dark and full of oppressive feeling.
When he came to a place thousands of miles away from the sea, a green light appeared below, like a green ocean, boundless. He saw many tiny marine creatures that had not yet developed intelligence, but were very fast, comparable to those of cultivators in the Jindan stage.
After passing through the green sea, there was darkness again. They continued to fly downwards, and from time to time they saw lights of various colors, all emitted by monsters. Gu An even saw caves located on the mountains in the ocean.
Further down, he even saw the demon city, emitting dazzling light, with countless demons coming in and out.
In this way, Gu An came to the deep seabed without Wu Yao's knowledge.
He found an area where no demons were active, and used his magic power to circle out an area of a hundred miles in radius on the sand. He then created a clone and used the clone's great magic power to form a barrier, so that the creatures outside the barrier could not see what was happening inside the barrier.
His original body began to cast a spell to create an environment suitable for the growth of medicinal herbs. The spiritual energy at the bottom of the sea was huge enough for the herbs to grow.
After changing the environment, he began to form a formation.
An hour later.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
This underwater medicine valley is already planted with medicinal herb seeds. He does not plan to adopt a monster to look after the valley, so he can just hand it over to his clone later.
Although the clone does not have independent thinking, if there is any disturbance, Gu An can detect it at the first time. At that time, Gu An will focus his consciousness on the clone and use the clone to solve all problems.
Even Zizaixian is no match for his clone!
After making all the preparations, Gu An came to the edge of the Medicine Valley, took out a stone tablet, stood it in the sand, and then wrote on the stone tablet with the destiny pen.
Qianling Palace! The reason why it was named after the palace was because he planned to build a palace here, and even use it as a dojo.
Gu An admired his own handwriting, which was becoming more and more elegant.
He then disappeared from the spot and returned to Taixuan Gate.
The seabed was silent, and outside the Qianling Palace was dark, like an abyss. Occasionally, a huge figure as big as a mountain swam above the Qianling Palace. Gu An's clone was sitting in meditation without opening his eyes.
…
Fifteen years later.
In early summer, Gu An was sitting in the attic of Xuan Gu admiring his attribute panel. He was very close to living for 500 million years.
The high-level medicinal herbs in the secluded cave will bring him a large wave of life income in the next few years, which makes him happy.
Although life is dull, Gu An does not find it boring. Watching his life increase, he feels like he is leveling up in a game and feels a sense of accomplishment.
There was a knock on the door, and Gu An said casually, "Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open and Lu Jiujia walked in.
The 518-year-old Lu Jiujia looks to be in his early 40s. He has a long beard and looks very imposing.
He came to the table and saluted Gu An, saying, "Brother, Chen's Medicine Valley does not agree to my conditions and continues to oppress Xuan Valley's territory. What should I do?"
Over the years, as the Taixuan Sect became stronger and stronger, with no one invading, more and more medicine valleys appeared outside the outer gate. Some of them were medicine valleys managed by the Taixuan Sect, and some were medicine valleys opened up by aristocratic families to accumulate resources for their own children.
A medicine valley appeared around Xuan Valley, and its territory was even more vast than Xuan Valley.
The Chen family is a newly emerged family in the last thousand years. The highest position in the Taixuan Sect is the elder of the inner gate city, and they hold a powerful position.
After hearing this, Gu An replied, "It's okay. I'll ask An Xin to go there tomorrow. In three days at most, I'll make their Medicine Valley disappear."
When Lu Jiujia heard this, he immediately smiled. He did not doubt what his senior brother said. His senior brother was very powerful, and the Chen family was also testing his bottom line, otherwise they would have found a way to seize Xuan Gu long ago.
Gu An raised his eyes to look at Lu Jiujia and asked, "How is your practice recently?"
Decades ago, Lu Jiujia had removed the restrictions on his cultivation of the Xiantian Samsara Technique. With Gu An's secret help in his enlightenment, his maximum lifespan has now reached seven hundred years.
Seven hundred years is not a long time. Lu Jiujia's cultivation has increased too slowly. Now he is only at the ninth level of the Jindan realm. Even if he releases his cultivation again, it is estimated that he will find it difficult to reach the Shenhua realm.
No matter how you look at it, Lu Jiujia has no hope of achieving nirvana in this life.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiujia scratched his head and said, "To be honest, Senior Brother, I feel more and more powerless. When I practice, I always feel tired and easily have random thoughts."
Gu An said: "There is no other way. You have to find a way to overcome it."
Lu Jiujia could only nod.
He felt helpless and ashamed.
His senior brother had taken so much care of him over the years, and he felt that he had let him down.
He changed the subject and said, "By the way, Senior Brother, a genius has appeared in Medicine Valley recently. Do you want to meet him?"
When he mentioned that genius, he suddenly became excited.
After hundreds of years of controlling all the affairs of Xuan Valley, this was the first time he had encountered such a genius, which made him feel proud.
