Chapter 404 Heavenly Merit
"Really? Then I'll wait for you to help me." Jiang Qiong looked at Gu An and said with a smile.
Gu An glanced at her and said, "Wait, your real purpose is not to go after the Ji family again, right?"
Jiang Qiong snorted, "With so many people coming and going, aren't you afraid that the Ji family will hear you?"
There were indeed a lot of people walking on the street, but there were also many people who spoke more arrogantly than Gu An, so he was not afraid at all.
"Who in Taixuanmen dares to make trouble for me?" Gu An pretended to be arrogant. Then, he smiled and greeted a person who was walking in front of him.
Looking at the smooth-talking Gu An, Jiang Qiong wanted to laugh.
After Gu An's acquaintance left, Jiang Qiong joked, "Speaking of which, I heard that Sect Master Lu wants to train you to be the next Sect Master. I thought he was joking before, but now it seems that you really have a chance."
Gu An shook his head and said, "Forget it. He hasn't mentioned this matter for many years."
Ever since the overseas cultivators integrated into the sect, Lu Baitian seldom mentioned the position of the sect leader. It was not that he was reluctant to give it up, but he himself was increasingly helpless. The power of the sect leader was being diluted. Besides, letting Gu An be the sect leader would only bring trouble to Gu An.
"Who told you not to practice hard?" Jiang Qiong said unhappily.
She had noticed Gu An's extraordinary talent more than six hundred years ago. Unfortunately, no matter how much she persuaded him, this boy just indulged himself in the medicine garden. He idled around every day, loved reading idle books, and refused to work hard on his cultivation.
"What do you know? This is also a form of cultivation for me. Sooner or later you will understand that Qi-absorbing cultivation is the dumbest method."
"Then I'll wait and see?"
"Don't pretend to forget what I said then."
"You understand women quite well."
"I can't help it. Many of my connections are made through my face. I've come into contact with many women, so I naturally understand."
"I really want to seal you in a coffin for the rest of your life."
The two chatted while shopping.
Jiang Qiong's mind quickly drifted away.
It is true that she came to ask for someone, but that was not her main purpose.
This time, she came to find Fudao Jianzun! ...
Night falls in the woods outside Taixuan Gate.
Jiang Qiong stood under the tree with a frown on her face. The breeze blew her clothes, but she didn't feel cold at all.
She was very nervous.
Hundreds of years ago, Fudao Sword Master gave her the power to control the Epiphyllum Ghost Mother, and she used this to establish the Juhua Sect. From being alone and helpless to becoming a giant in the world of immortal cultivation, without Fudao Sword Master, she would not be where she is today. How could she not be nervous when facing Fudao Sword Master? The reason she was most nervous was that she didn't know why Fudao Sword Master helped her.
She was born in the Demon Sect, but she doesn't believe that there is anyone who is absolutely perfect. Even though Fudao Jianzun has the reputation of justice, he also has another side.
She had anticipated many possibilities and was thinking of ways to deal with them.
Snap——
The sound of leaves being trampled came from not far away. She was startled and turned her head to look, only to see a demonic figure walking out of the darkness.
The magical power of Qianqiu Pavilion!
Jiang Qiong immediately saluted Fudao Jianzun.
"What's the matter?" Fudao Jianzun asked in a hoarse voice.
Jiang Qiong remembered this voice. This voice was heard when the Immortal Lord Qiuxi attacked.
She took a deep breath and immediately told the reason for her visit.
The Epiphyllum Ghost Mother was captured! Her accompanying disciple was possessed by a soul thought of the other party and returned all the way to the Juhua Sect. When facing Jiang Qiong, the soul thought appeared. The other party came from the Juling Demon Palace and wanted to use the Epiphyllum Ghost Mother to force the Juhua Sect to work for her.
Before Jiang Qiong agreed, the other party made a request that the Juhua Sect must send 10,000 cultivators under the age of 1,000 to the Juling Demon Palace every year.
That soul consciousness severely injured the top leaders of the Juhua Sect in front of Jiang Qiong, and then left in an extremely arrogant manner.
Jiang Qiong really had no choice but to come and visit Fudao Jianzun.
"The Juhua Sect is a righteous sect. How could it do such a heinous thing for the overseas evil sect?" Jiang Qiong said in a deep voice.
Looking at her serious expression, Gu An wanted to laugh.
You’re really good at pretending.
Gu An turned around, left a word and walked into the darkness: "I know, they won't bother you again. As for the Epiphyllum Ghost Mother, she will come back on her own."
Hearing this, Jiang Qiong breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the back of Fu Dao Jian Zun and asked with gritted teeth, "Senior, why did you choose me?"
After asking this question, the dark cloud hanging over her heart finally dissipated.
Some things just have to be faced!
After witnessing the magical power of Fudao Sword Master to suppress Qiuxi Immortal Lord, she felt that she would never be able to surpass Fudao Sword Master in this lifetime, so there was no need to wait.
Gu An did not look back and continued to move forward. His voice drifted towards her: "I am helping you because of my disciple's request. As for his identity, you don't have to worry. Didn't you call him the only person you care about in the world?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu An disappeared out of thin air.
He knew that Jiang Qiong was always worried about this, so he took this opportunity to soothe her worries.
When Jiang Qiong heard this, her beautiful eyes widened and she stood there in a daze.
It took a long time.
She suddenly laughed out loud and said softly, "You really have connections in Taixuan Sect."
She didn't mind Gu An's concealment of the matter. After all, her life had changed because of Gu An. She owed him everything. What right did she have to complain? She was more surprised.
With the guidance of Fudao Jianzun, Gu An's future will definitely surpass her.
Now think about what Gu An said, that Qi-absorbing cultivation is the dumbest way, maybe it is true, Fudao Sword Master taught him a more advanced way of cultivation.
Jiang Qiong looked up. The bright moon peeking through the gaps between the leaves was so beautiful, just like her mood.
On the other side, Gu An returned to the attic of the Third Medicine Valley. His original body and his clone were exchanged. Ji Xiaoyu downstairs didn't notice anything, and it was impossible for the Sun and Moon Emperor to see through it.
Gu An picked up the destiny pen on the table.
Before Jiang Qiong came, he had deduced the Soul-Binding Demon Palace, which was a thoroughly demonic force, and its palace master was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Demon who had awakened his memories. The reason why they chose the Taicang Continent was that they wanted to investigate the Sword Master Fudao and prepare for the future invasion of the Heavenly Demon into the Tianling world.
Everyone in the Juling Demon Palace is extremely evil.
Killing them is to eliminate harm to all living beings!
Gu An began to write in the air, writing down the four words "Soul-binding Demon Palace", and then used the mantra of immortality to decide their life and death.
Anyone who gets the luck of the Juling Demon Palace will be wiped out! The Palace Master of the Juling Demon Palace is a magical immortal. His power is similar to that of the Xinghai Sect, but his number of people is far less than that of the Xinghai Sect.
When Gu An placed the fate pen on the table, a series of prompts popped up in front of him:
[You have successfully seized the 709-year lifespan of Yin Jie Zhenren (the seventh level of Sanxian Realm)]
[You successfully seized the 2171-year lifespan of Lin Gexuan (the second floor of Youxianjing)]
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
[You successfully seized Yang Fu (8th level of Nirvana) 624 years of lifespan]
…
Gu An looked at these prompts with an expressionless face.
The Soul-Binding Demon Palace that made Jiang Qiong feel despair was as insignificant as the ashes on the table in front of him.
However, as more and more clues appeared, Gu An felt that a special destiny was approaching him. He felt close to this destiny and instinctively wanted to accept it, but he restrained himself.
This is a reward from heaven. If one kills those who have committed serious sins, he will receive this kind of good fortune.
To be precise, this is not luck, but just like luck, it is invisible and intangible.
Merit!
Gu An suddenly understood something.
The concept of merit and virtue has long been heard in the world, and it turns out that it is not groundless. God is indeed watching what people do.
Unlike the Great Cold Demon Sect, the Soul-Binding Demon Palace has committed even greater sins. The Great Cold Demon Sect can rely on the luck of the Holy Court to wash away most of its sins, but the Soul-Binding Demon Palace does not rely on the Holy Court and acts recklessly. Its sins are so serious that they are rarely seen in this world.
The Heavenly Merit gained from destroying the Soul-Binding Demon Palace is enormous. As long as Gu An accepts it in his heart, it will pounce on him.
Gu An did not accept the merits of the Heavenly Dao, he decided to keep his distance from the Heavenly Dao.
Eventually, all the hints fell.
He gained nearly 700 million years of life in one breath!
It is still faster to earn life by killing! At this moment, Gu An even had the urge to wipe out the world's demons, but when he thought of Long Zhan's fate, he held back.
No matter how he convinces himself, he is acting out of his own selfish desires. The more people he kills, the greater the impact will be, so he can't act recklessly.
Gu An called up the attribute panel and saw that his lifespan had reached more than 2.9 billion years. His heart calmed down.
If he survived a few more years, he would be able to break through! He had no worries about his life, but he had to keep getting stronger, lest an irresistible enemy come.
The moon sets and the sun rises.
At noon the next day, Ji Xiaoyu came to find Gu An.
"The disciples of Juhua Sect have been released." Ji Xiaoyu stared at Gu An and said.
Gu An put down the book in his hand, looked up and smiled: "Thank you."
"What is the relationship between you and the leader of Juhua Sect?"
Hearing her question, Gu An did not hide anything and briefly recounted the process of how he and Jiang Qiong met.
"She gave me a lot of help in the early stage of my cultivation. Without her guidance, I wouldn't be where I am today." Gu An said seriously.
Ji Xiaoyu asked: "Besides that?"
Gu An asked in surprise: "Besides what? What else do you want to ask?"
Ji Xiaoyu was about to say something, but her eyes changed and she said, "Forget it. My life is doomed and I won't be immortal. You have so many women who treat you well. Even if I return to my original form, I will be at peace in this life."
"What you said is right. You are you and your soul remains unchanged. Don't worry." Gu An comforted her.
Ji Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "You don't understand this feeling."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Gu An looked at her and couldn't help but think of the Third Miss in her previous life.
He suddenly felt a little regretful.
Perhaps it was due to his childhood experiences, he had an inexplicable feeling towards the Third Miss, a feeling of gratitude, and perhaps also affection.
Maybe Ji Xiaoyu was right. At least in this life, she and the Third Miss looked like two different people.
By this calculation, he and the third young lady had not seen each other for the last time.
Perhaps the Third Miss didn't even think of him before she died.
Gu An shook his head and cursed himself for being pretentious. He picked up Qing Xia's Travels and began to cultivate his mind.
It had to be Xuan Tianyi. His free and easy writing style influenced Gu An and helped Gu An reduce the meaningless sorrow in his heart many times.
The dead are gone, cherish the living, life must go on! Gu An thought so, and was soon attracted by a story about an isolated island.
