Chapter 111: Nine Heaven-breaking Styles, Aura from afar
"I have been trying hard to understand the truth for eight hundred years, swallowing countless pills and taking medicines, but one day I finally achieved the mysterious heart, but I can't escape the calamity of the inner demon at the end of my life. I hate... hate..."
Gu An read a passage from the nameless book and frowned.
The hatred of Patriarch Xuantian was evident on the paper; it was hatred towards heaven.
He hated that God had made him achieve the Xuan Heart Realm, but before he could enjoy it, he had an inner demon.
After reading it, the first thing that came to Gu An’s mind was the maximum lifespan.
It seems that there is a kind of fate that traps all living beings. The maximum lifespan of Patriarch Xuantian may only be enough to reach the fusion realm, but he relies on massive resources to forcibly reach the Xuanxin realm, but his lifespan is not extended, and he eventually encounters the rebellion of his inner demons and faces death?
The more Gu An thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
When sentient beings cultivate to become immortals, it is more accurate to say that they are fighting against fate rather than against heaven.
Gu An believes that fate can be broken, and he is the best example.
The maximum lifespan he saw was perhaps reminding him of the existence of fate.
In addition to his ability to take away life, there must be opportunities in this world that can help people break the limit of lifespan, but he has not seen it yet.
It is precisely because immortality is so difficult that so many people are willing to risk their lives to achieve it.
Let's see whether Dao Yan Gong is effective. If it is effective, he can use part of his life to improve Dao Yan Gong.
Gu An felt there was hope because Wu Xin’s lifespan far exceeded that of people at the same level.
He continued reading, and what followed recorded the life story of Patriarch Xuantian, from his admission into the Taixuan Sect to his competition for the position of Sect Leader. It was like a novel, and the brief description was enough to spark people's imagination.
After he finished reading the suicide note, he threw the book into the storage bag, and then picked up the secret book of the Broken Sky Divine Axe to check.
The more he looked, the more fascinated he became, and it seemed as if there was a figure wielding a huge axe in his pupils.
The Heaven-Breaking Axe has nine styles: Break Life, Break Monsters, Break Ghosts, Break Mountains, Break Seas, Break Laws, Break Immortals, Break Gods, and Break Heaven! It sounds very overbearing, but I wonder if it can really break immortals and heaven.
The Nine Styles do not mean nine levels, but nine types of moves. Ancestor Xuantian has already mastered the nine styles and had never encountered an opponent before he went astray.
He swept through the nine dynasties' world of immortal cultivation and established the reputation of Taixuan Sect as the orthodox sect in the world. However, he did not leave the Broken Sky Axe in Taixuan Sect, because it was the inheritance of the holy land and could not be passed on to others. If it was discovered by the holy land, his cultivation would be abolished. This was specially noted in his suicide note.
After Gu An scanned it, he threw the secret book into the storage bag.
He turned and walked into the dilapidated wooden house. Everything inside the house was very shabby, the ground was overgrown with weeds, and in the middle of the house stood an axe covered in dust.
He walked to the axe and blew gently. The dust on it disappeared immediately, and a black axe appeared.
The Sky-Breaking Axe, a top-grade magical weapon, is also made of North Sea Dark Iron, and it is a million-year-old North Sea Dark Iron. It is heavier than Li Ya's North Sea Heavy Sword and can withstand more spiritual power.
Gu An held the Sky-Breaking Axe and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
It's a bit heavy! Not only is he a Mahayana cultivator, he has also practiced Xiantian Ruyi Gong, and his strength is so strong that even he can feel the weight, which shows how heavy this Broken Sky Axe is.
Not to mention using the Sky-Breaking Axe, it feels like just using it to hit someone would kill them.
Gu An picked up the Sky-Breaking Axe. Once he got serious, the Axe seemed very light in his hand and he wielded it with ease.
He wanted to put the treasure into the storage bag, but it was bounced away by the space restriction of the storage bag.
Can't put it in!
Interesting! Gu An immediately put down the Sky-Breaking Axe and checked around. There was nothing else of value in the house.
Immediately, he stepped outside the Xuantian Cave Mansion and sealed the crack on the mountain wall. He now has a five-element treasure body and possesses perfect earth attribute qualifications, and can gather spiritual power into earth.
Only after the crack was completely sealed did Gu An feel relieved.
From now on, this is his cave!
Gu An was in a good mood, with the corners of his mouth raised, and stepped into the Xuantian Cave Mansion again.
Open up wasteland! …
In late autumn, in the Third Medicine Valley, disciples were sweeping fallen leaves.
Lu Lingjun suddenly looked up at the sky and saw a figure flying towards him quickly.
She frowned slightly and was secretly frightened.
The ninth level of the fusion realm! The person who came was Lu Baitian.
Lu Baitian quickly flew to the attic where Gu An lived and went up the stairs.
Lu Lingjun withdrew his gaze, curious about the man's identity.
Although Lu Baitian came to the Third Medicine Valley many times, he never revealed his true identity. When An Hao told An Xin, he also said that he was a senior in the sect.
After entering the house, Lu Baitian closed the door and set up restrictions to prevent anyone from spying.
Gu An put down the book in his hand and asked with a smile: "Master, why are you here?"
He stood up and went to make tea.
"No need to bother, sit down and let's talk." Lu Baitian waved his hand, he walked to the table, raised his hand to pull the chair over, and then sat down.
Gu An sat down and asked, "What are you talking about?"
What can I talk to you about? Don't ask for a disciple again! Gu An secretly complained in his heart. He was a great Mahayana cultivator, and it was impossible for him to become a disciple.
"Let's talk about Li Xuandao." Lu Baitian said, his eyes fixed on Gu An.
Gu An asked in surprise: "What happened to him?"
"Crown Prince Li Dai's golden elixir was taken away, his Nascent Soul and cultivation were destroyed, and a cultivator in the Void Realm who was beside him also died." Lu Baitian's words moved Gu An.
He was really a little surprised.
Li Xuandao took action right after the Law Enforcement Hall of Taixuan Sect left? He was able to kill people of the same realm just after entering the Transcendent Realm? It's not easy! The methods of the great cultivators of the Transcendent Realm are so many that even if they can't defeat the people of the same realm, it shouldn't be difficult for them to escape.
Don’t think that it is easy for Gu An to kill people in the Void Realm. He is at a higher level and suppresses the enemies of lower level, so the enemies have no time to escape.
Lu Baitian asked, "Are there any Void Realm cultivators around Li Xuandao?"
Gu An said helplessly: "Whether there is or not, I can't tell."
Lu Baitian was stunned for a moment, then felt that it made sense and his expression relaxed.
"Once the prince dies, the Taixuan Sect can only support Li Ya, and the throne must be taken by the prince of the Taixuan Sect. Unfortunately, Li Ya has been away for many years and has not returned." Lu Baitian sighed.
"If it weren't for the upcoming attack by the Epiphyllum Cult, I really wanted to destroy Li Xuandao."

Gu An asked in surprise: "Why do you want to abolish him?"
Lü Baitian said: "He has been the emperor for nearly two hundred years. The world of Taicang has been plagued by demons and evil spirits, and the people are resentful. Changing the emperor to offer sacrifices to the heavens may help reverse the fortunes. Unfortunately, he has won over several elders of the Elders' Hall, so I couldn't force him to abdicate. When I recovered my cultivation, the Epiphyllum Cult came again. It was really troublesome."
When talking about the Epiphyllum Sect, his face was filled with annoyance.
Gu An couldn't tell whether he truly believed in the common people or just disliked Li Xuandao.
Both of them provided Gu An with high-level medicinal herbs, so it was difficult for him to take sides and he could only watch them fight.
Li Xuandao is indeed very capable. He has prevented a great cultivator at the ninth level of the Fusion Realm from making a move against him, and he is still growing rapidly.
If Lu Baitian knew that Li Xuandao had already reached the realm of crossing the void, he would probably kill Li Xuandao right now.
Lu Baitian started talking about the Epiphyllum Sect. Zun Ge collected many clues about the Epiphyllum Sect. It turned out that there were spies from the Epiphyllum Sect in the Elders' Hall, and there was more than one.
This made Lu Baitian very angry. He had just cleaned out a group of spies from the Demonic Path a few years ago, but he didn't expect that there were still spies among the remaining people, and they were from the Epiphyllum Sect, which he hated the most.
"I got the information that the leader of the Epiphyllum Sect, Zhong Liang, is dead. I don't know who killed him. The Epiphyllum Sect is now very well behaved, waiting for the arrival of the main lineage monks. They all suspect that Zhong Liang was killed by me. How ridiculous! I suspect that they killed each other." Lu Baitian said sarcastically.
Gu An asked curiously, "Why did the battle between the Epiphyllum Sect and the Demon Sect take place in the Beihai Mountains?"
Lü Baitian replied, "Because most of the high-ranking members of the Epiphyllum Sect are in the Beihai Mountains. They are looking for an opportunity that is related to our sect."
"What opportunity?"
"There is a supreme elder in our sect who attained enlightenment in the mountains of Beihai thousands of years ago and surpassed the fusion realm. He later disappeared, but there are legends that he did not take the Taixuan sect's treasure, the Broken Heaven Axe, with him when he left. The Broken Heaven Axe cannot be placed in a storage tool. It involves a great inheritance, and the Epiphyllum Sect has been looking for this inheritance."
really!
Gu An was secretly proud of himself. The Epiphyllum Sect had been searching for it for so many years but had not been able to find it, but he discovered it by accident.
It seems that the sinking of spiritual energy is beneficial.
"The Sky-Breaking Axe is not simple. It is said to be related to the Holy Land. In the past three thousand years, only that supreme elder could inherit that level of inheritance from the Holy Land. He is also my master." Lu Baitian said with emotion.
Ancestor Xuantian is so powerful.
Gu An thought about the weight of the Broken Sky Axe and felt that it made sense.
Lu Baitian obviously admired Patriarch Xuantian very much and began to tell about Patriarch Xuantian's deeds. He had never seen Patriarch Xuantian, but had heard his master mention him often.
His master said that Patriarch Xuantian had never been defeated in his life, and no matter how many enemies there were, Patriarch Xuantian could always break out of the siege. Patriarch Xuantian even went south to venture out, and it was said that he obtained the immortal method and then came back to seclude himself.
Gu An knew that Patriarch Xuantian had never obtained the immortal magic. He had been wandering on the sea for many years and was nearly killed by the Demon King, so he fled back, wanting to wait until he reached the Xuanxin realm before continuing to wander around. Unfortunately, he did not get his wish until his death.
Gu An suddenly thought of the eldest disciple who had gone out for training. Could he have also gone to the sea? It was said that the eldest disciple who had been taught by the true sect was even more powerful than Lv Baitian and might have already reached the Mysterious Heart Realm.
However, when Gu An mentioned the eldest disciple, Lu Baitian felt unhappy and didn't want to talk more.
It was obvious that the two did not have a good relationship.
As Lu Baitian was speaking, he suddenly stopped.
Gu An also felt a powerful aura coming from the north, but he pretended not to know, after all, Lu Baitian was right in front of him.
Lu Baitian turned his head, looked at the sky outside the window, and murmured, "Is it finally here?"
Gu An asked in confusion: "What's coming?"
Lu Baitian stood up and said, "Nothing, I have something to do so I'll leave first."
He left quickly, and Gu An quickly stood up and saw him off to the balcony at the door.
Gu An saw that Lu Lingjun also felt the powerful aura in the distance and was frowning.
As if sensing Gu An's gaze, Lu Lingjun glanced at him and continued sweeping the leaves.
Gu An looked in the direction where Lv Baitian left, secretly curious about where that breath came from. It didn't seem like the breath of a cultivator, and there was an indescribable strange feeling.
