Chapter 122 The World's No. 1 Battle
An Hao's Taicang Jingshen sword intent shocked the entire Taixuan Sect and caused countless disciples to talk about it. This sword intent lasted for several hours before dissipating.
In the following days, various rumors emerged. The only thing that could be confirmed was that the pressure came from a kind of sword intent, which also led to an increasing number of sword cultivators on the Butian Terrace.
Gu An's life was quite peaceful. He traveled between the three medicine valleys and occasionally went to Xuantian Cave Mansion at night. The rest of the time, he was enjoying life.
In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
Gu An reached the age of sixty-two.
The news about Fu Dao Sword Master's extermination of the evil leader of the Epiphyllum Sect has only now spread throughout the world of immortal cultivation. When Gu An went to the outer sect, he often heard people talking about it. It seemed that Fu Dao Sword Master already had the reputation of being the number one swordsman in the Taicang Dynasty.
Some people even think that he is the best in the world!
At noon that day, Gu An stood on the edge of the Bu Tian Terrace, looking at the hundred-foot-tall stone statue in front of him, feeling happy.
This hundred-foot-tall stone statue is the statue of Fudao Sword Master. It is the posture of Gu An displaying the Nine-Polar Yin-Yang Body. The demonic energy around him is transformed into arrogance. The stone statue has one hand pointing diagonally and the other holding a sword, looking very domineering.
At this moment, Gu An was not the only one looking at the statue of Sword Lord. There were a dozen people nearby looking up and talking about something.
Hearing those people's words of admiration for Fudao Jianzun, Gu An felt even happier.
Who doesn’t want to be famous?
Gu An also thought so, he was just afraid that others would discover his ability to take lives, so he was very low-key, but being able to become famous in the world with another identity also satisfied his vanity.
"Fudao Sword Master can indeed be regarded as the number one swordsman in the Taicang Dynasty, but he may not be the number one swordsman in the world!"
A voice attracted Gu An's attention and also attracted the attention of many disciples around him.
The speaker was a man in blue, holding a folding fan in his hand. He was very elegant and his handsome face was calm, as if the wild words just now did not come from his mouth.
A burly inner sect disciple looked at the man in blue and said in a deep voice, "Oh? Sir, please tell me, who is the best swordsman in the world?"
Today, Fudao Sword Master is the pride of all Taixuan Sect disciples and cannot be questioned by others.
The man in blue replied, "In the far west, among the Tianwei, there is a sword cultivator known as Tianjian Daoist. Seven hundred years ago, he was the number one sword cultivator in Tianwei. Later, he lived in seclusion in the mountains and concentrated on comprehending the sword. Not long ago, a sword intent erupted in Tianwei, proving that he is still alive. If it weren't for Fudao Jianzun's quick action, I'm afraid that the person who ended the Epiphyllum Sect would have been this senior."
Tianwei, one of the Nine Dynasties, is located in the west and has been invaded by demons for many years, but its territory is more vast than Taicang, which is enough to prove how strong Tianwei's national strength is.
Gu An felt that this person's cultivation was hidden. On the surface, he only seemed to be at the Jindan stage, but in fact, he had already reached the Shenhua stage.
He threw a lifespan probe.
[Sizhe (Level 2 of the Spiritual Transformation Realm): 289/800/1300]
He hides his cultivation level and brags about being a cultivator from Tianwei. This guy should not be a disciple of Taixuan Sect.
Gu An said nothing, watching the disciples around him verbally attacking Si Zhe.
Sizhe was calm and composed. Facing the slander and insults from everyone, he remained calm.
"The Taoist of Heavenly Sword is very powerful and was once famous all over the world. That is old history. As a prince of the Tianwei royal family with the blood of the God of Fire, you are making such a bold statement in front of Taixuan Sect. Are you trying to provoke a fight?"
A voice was heard, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Han Ming, the Great Yu Sword Maniac, walking towards them.
Si Zhe looked back, raised his hand to salute, and said, "So it's Senior Jian Kuang. I heard that you have been in Taixuan Sect for many years. Do you want to join Taixuan Sect?"
He had a smile on his face and spoke in a gentle tone, but what he said was very uncomfortable.
"Hmph, boy, if I hadn't received the kindness of your father, you would be a corpse now. Do you think that your cultivation level in the Spirit Transformation Realm can block my sword?" Han Ming snorted coldly.
The Divine Transformation Realm! As soon as these words came out, the faces of the disciples who had previously insulted Sizhe changed drastically, and they all retreated.
"In that case, I won't pretend anymore."
Sizhe smiled, then looked around and shouted, "I am the disciple of Tianjian Daoist, the prince of Tianwei Dynasty, Sizhe. Today, I come to challenge you on behalf of my master. Three months later, my master will personally come to the Butiantai to learn the swordsmanship of Fudao Jianzun!"
His voice echoed under the sky and could be heard by everyone in the city.
Someone wants to challenge Fudao Jianzun? Han Ming smiled. He was the first sword cultivator to ask Fudao Jianzun for advice. He reminded him, "The Epiphyllum Sect has a great cultivator who has surpassed the fusion realm. Does your master have that realm?"
Si Zhe closed his fan and said with a smile, "Of course there is. My father wanted to ask him to take action against the Epiphyllum Sect, but he was a step too late."
His tone was arrogant, as if Tianjian Taoist was sure to win against Fudao Jianzun, which made the Taixuan Sect disciples even more unhappy.
An old man appeared out of nowhere beside Sizhe and said a few words using the sound transmission technique. Sizhe's face changed slightly and he snorted, "Then let's go. Anyway, the message has been passed on. It's up to Fudao Jianzun whether to accept the battle or not."
After saying that, he followed the old man and left.
Gu An looked at his back and became secretly alert.
Fudao Sword Master had just defeated the conspiracy of the Epiphyllum Cult and his reputation was at its peak. If someone dared to jump out at this time, he must be very powerful.
Gu An didn't think much about it, turned around and left the Butiantai, ready to go and take a look at the martial arts manual.
A month ago, Wu Jue's maximum lifespan increased again, which made Gu An even more interested in him and curious about how high his maximum lifespan could increase.
…
The third medicine valley, inside the attic.
Lv Baitian said disdainfully: "Tian Wei is really ambitious, wanting to suppress Taixuan Sect and seize control of the Nine Nether Road. Although Tianjian Taoist is strong, he dares to come to Taixuan Sect, he is really courting death!"
A month had passed since Sizhe's call, and the news of the challenge had spread throughout the Taicang cultivation world, with cultivators from various sects and regions flocking to watch the fight.
Lu Baitian was very cunning and took the opportunity to spread the news of the golden list in various cities.
The so-called Golden List is a list of talents in the world launched by Taixuan Sect. It only records geniuses under the age of 500 and covers nine dynasties. It is a huge gimmick and has been widely circulated.
Gu An asked worriedly, "There won't be internal fighting in the Nine Dynasties Sect, right?"
"Then you can rest assured. The calamity of demons is imminent and no one dares to act recklessly. Moreover, the main lineage of the Epiphyllum Sect may cause chaos in the Nine Netherworlds Road. At that time, the sects of the Nine Dynasties must join forces. Otherwise, in a one-on-one fight, no one can be absolutely sure of defeating the main lineage of the Epiphyllum Sect. That's why Tian Wei asked Tian Jian Taoist to take action in the name of sparring." Lu Baitian waved his hand.
Gu An asked again: "If Fu Dao Jian Zun kills Tian Jian Dao Ren, will it cause war?"
It would be fine if it was Han Ming, but now he comes again! Gu An really couldn't stand it, this time, he wanted to kill him to avoid such troubles.
"Of course not. Even the Taoist Tianjian is dead. Tian Wei will only be more afraid of the Taixuan Sect! It would be better for Fudao Jianzun to kill the Taoist Tianjian!" Lu Baitian snorted, with a ferocious expression on his face.
Gu An suddenly remembered that this guy had been impeached by the Elders' Hall because of his overbearing behavior.
Lu Baitian changed his tone and said, "An Hao is the disciple of Fudao Jianzun. You say, he appeared in front of me. Is Fudao Jianzun reminding me?"
"Remind you of what?"
"Remind me that my position as the leader of the sect is unstable."
When Lu Baitian said this, his eyes became deep and his tone became erratic, making people wonder what he was thinking.
Gu An didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said helplessly: "If that's the case, then Chu Tianqi is already dead, right?"
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Lu Baitian asked: "You think not?"
"An Hao is extremely talented and will definitely be loved by Fudao Sword Master. If you were in his shoes, would you let your most beloved disciple serve as a sword for your enemy?" Gu An felt that Lu Baitian was a little obsessed.
"You make sense." Lu Baitian said with a smile.
Looking at his smile, Gu An's heart skipped a beat.
etc!
Why ask him about this?
Lu Baitian continued, "An Hao is too talented. When he fully grows up, he will easily be respected by everyone in Taixuan Sect, just like the eldest disciple. Boy, if you don't become the Sect Master, the position will be his."
"Isn't that better? I don't want to be one anyway."
Gu An shook his head, and Lu Baitian smiled and said no more.
Afterwards, Gu An asked about Ye Lan's situation. The first group of teams heading to the Nine Nether Road had already set off.
Lu Baitian said: "Don't worry, I have personally told the team leader to take care of her."
With the Qinghong Sword, Gu An can sense Ye Lan's situation at any time, but he will only take action when she is in danger. He doesn't want Ye Lan to be neglected or bullied at other times.
The two chatted for a while, and before leaving, Lu Baitian left a book.
Gu An waited until he left before picking it up to read.
The divine power to defy fate!
…
At dusk.
Li Ya, carrying the Beihai Heavy Sword on his back, walked to the edge of the Bu Tian Terrace and looked at the statue of Fu Dao Jian Zun. He could hardly hide the excitement in his eyes.
"Ancestor, the ancestor is really the Sword Master Fudao!" Li Ya roared in his heart.
The ancestor was also shocked and said with emotion: "I thought he was..."
"Is it the devil from Qianqiu Pavilion?"
"Um."
"Hahaha, I said it, our ancestor couldn't be a demon cultivator!"
Li Ya was very happy. On the way here, he had heard about the challenge from Taoist Tianjian, so he came to Butiantai specially to admire the image of Fudao Jianzun. As a result, he found that Fudao Jianzun was really the ancestor of the Li family.
He began to look forward to the upcoming battle! "Why don't you go meet your Junior Brother Gu?" The ancestor's voice sounded, with a teasing tone.
Li Ya answered in his heart: "I won't bother him. I can't show off what happened recently. I'll deal with it after I master the Taicang Jingshen Sword. It just so happens that Taixuan Sect is going to release the Golden List, and I will definitely stand out in the Golden List!"
His tone was confident.
After taking the Dragon Elephant Divine Essence and learning the Taicang Shocking Divine Sword, his self-confidence was overflowing.
Seven steps away, a figure walked over and also began to look up at the statue of Fudao Sword Master.
Martial Art!
He looked at the statue of Fudao Jianzun with sad eyes.
"Master, you respected Fu Dao Jian Zun the most during your lifetime. It's a pity that you won't be able to witness the upcoming battle."
Wu Jue thought so, he was silent, his thoughts drifting away.
Gradually, he began to understand.
Li Ya looked for a long time, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait!" The ancestor's voice suddenly sounded.
