Chapter 400: To the Demonic Realm
The memory of Demon's Beyond is very huge, and the greatest help to Gu An is her understanding of reincarnation.
The reincarnation calamity can indeed allow one to be reborn into different time and space, or even into the past, but no matter the past or the future, the power of the original body cannot interfere. When the reincarnated body dies or exerts the power of the original body, it will be forcibly expelled back by the way of heaven.
This reminded Gu An of the time when Ji Xiaoyu used the power of the Innate Dao Talisman in the Seven Star Spirit Realm and then quickly disappeared. It seemed that he was expelled by the reincarnation calamity.
This gave Gu An a deeper understanding of the Way of Heaven.
The Way of Heaven is more like a collection of rules and principles. It is very meticulous and powerful.
Gu An didn't think any more and looked into the hall. The hall was vast, but it hid many different things. The huge stone pillars were inlaid with many special spirit stones.
This city is a demon city. According to the memory of Demon Beyond, there are many such demon cities in the realm of annihilation. Although there is no stronger existence above Demon Beyond, all demon cities are forces left by the Supreme Demon Realm. The Supreme Demon Realm was once extremely powerful, and its goal was to devour the world. Later, its master was killed by a mysterious existence, and it has been torn apart since then. At that time, Demon Beyond had not yet grown up.
There are millions of demons hiding in the Demon City. Although these demons are no different from celestial demons in the eyes of creatures in the world, there are also many forces in the realm of annihilation, and they have nothing to do with the forces of the Demon Emperor.
Gu An decided to cut the roots and eliminate all these demons.
Whenever a creature from the universe passed by the Demon City, they would not have a good end. The Demons even dared to attack the passing Zizaixian, but Zizaixian had his own means of escape.
The Zizai Immortal who was attacked was none other than the Ancient Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Dynasty.
…
Near noon, Gu An returned to the Third Medicine Valley.
He called up his properties panel.
[Name: Gu An]
【Lifespan: 650/1,954,210,604】
【Constitution: Hunyuan Lianxu Body】
[Cultivation: Perfection in the Daozang Freedom Fairyland]
…
He killed millions of evil demons in the Demon City and gained nearly 500 million years of life. This trip was a huge gain.
Gu An felt great as he watched his lifespan approaching 2 billion years.
Of course, the most important thing is to relieve the worries in my heart.
Whenever Gu An met disciples along the way, he would ask a few questions with a smile, which made the disciples flattered.
Today, the number of disciples in the Third Medicine Valley exceeds three thousand. Many disciples are willing to stay even if they have reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, because with the strengthening of the Taixuan Sect, the treatment in the Third Medicine Valley has continued to increase, even higher than that of many inner sect halls.
The disciples all respected Gu An very much, not because of his status or cultivation, but because Gu An was humble towards any of the disciples. Even if they heard that Gu An liked to read secular books, the disciples just felt more friendly towards him. After all, Gu An would not coerce female disciples and he was well-known for that.
When Gu An arrived in front of his attic, Ji Xiaoyu suddenly came out. She stared at Gu An with a strange look on her face.
"What's wrong again?" Gu An asked pretending to be depressed.
Ji Xiaoyu replied: "The dead air in you has disappeared. Who did you go to see this morning?"
Gu An looked around, then took two steps forward and said mysteriously, "I was scared by you, so I had to ask Fu Dao Jian Zun for help. He cast a spell for me to keep me safe, but the price was that I had to live for 300 years."
After hearing the previous words, Ji Xiaoyu believed them, but the last sentence made her roll her eyes.
"Mortals are just mortals. How could Fudao Sword Master be so powerful that he cares about your 300 years of life? Your vision is too narrow. Even bragging seems ridiculous."
Ji Xiaoyu's words were very poisonous, but little did he know that this was exactly the effect Gu An wanted.
"You look down on me? Don't look down on the poor young man!"
"Ten for ten thousand."
"Come in, I'll have to deal with you!"
Gu An pushed Ji Xiaoyu into the house. Ji Xiaoyu did not resist and a smile appeared on his face.
Half an hour later, Gu An walked out of her room.
An Xin, who was passing by, winked at Gu An, causing Gu An to glare at her.
The Great Sage of Blood Prison watched from a distance under a tree, and said with emotion, "My master is truly a romantic man. When the millennium is up, I will also enjoy the local customs of the Heavenly Spirit World."
The spring breeze blows, the weather is cool, all things are awakening to life, and the dark clouds covering the continent have dissipated a little.
The Taixuan Sect continued to develop with the help of Fudao Jianzun's prestige, but the struggles in the world became more and more fierce.
Monks from the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court are fighting every moment, and more and more regions and forces are being drawn into it.
Half a year passed quickly.
Gu An stood in front of the window, watching Long Qing follow Shen Xinzi out of the valley. Except for the previous Jiuyuan Realm, this was the first time that Long Qing left Taixuan Sect. Although he was only training in Taicang Continent, looking at the boy's excitement, Gu An had a different feeling in his heart.
"Can't bear to part with it?"
Ji Xiaoyu's voice came from downstairs, his tone teasing.
Gu An replied: "How could that be? I just thought of some old friends."
"Do you want someone to stay with you forever?"
"That's not the case. If they leave, they leave. There are always new people coming. I just feel that they grow up so fast. They can stand on their own in a blink of an eye."
"Huh? What do you mean by newcomer? I left, and there are newcomers too?"
"What are you talking about? You haven't even gotten rid of the old people yet."
Boom boom
The attic began to shake slightly. The Blood Hell Great Sage, who was sleeping on the ground outside the yard, turned his head away. Such noise did not affect him at all, as he had long been accustomed to it.
An hour later, Gu An, An Xin and Blood Prison Great Sage left the Third Medicine Valley and headed to the End of the World Valley today.
On the way, An Xin talked about the geniuses who have risen in the mainland recently. A new peerless genius emerges every once in a while. An Hao, Li Ya, and Wu Jue have been forgotten by many people, just like Gu An didn't know Xuan Tianyi before.
Gu An rode on the back of the Blood Hell Sage, holding a book in his hand, and agreed with An Xin from time to time.
He also pays attention to the latest news in the world.
Compared to the world hundreds of years ago, the standard for genius is higher now. The lowest level of cultivation for a genius as mentioned by An Xin is the Void Crossing Realm.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Hundreds of years ago, those who reached the Void Realm were all great monks and old monsters.
Nowadays, the state of Nirvana is no longer a secret known to only a few people.
An Xin talked about the affairs of the world, and there was no yearning in his tone, only expectation.
She didn't want to go out, she just wanted to become stronger than those people. She wanted to prove that following the master was the best choice.
We walked along the way, talking and laughing, and the journey didn't seem so boring.
When they arrived at Tianya Valley, they saw a group of monks in the valley. They were all young and domineering.
When Gu An and others arrived, they attracted most people's attention.
Gu An saw that Lu Xian was also there.
Come to think of it, he hadn't seen Lu Xian for a long time, because Lu Baitian would talk about Lu Xian every time he saw him, which caused him to pay attention to Lu Xian from time to time.
Lu Xian has always been very talented, and coupled with his good circumstances, he has now reached the Xuanxin realm.
He looked at Gu An from a distance with a look of joy on his face.
Gu An nodded slightly at him, then turned over and walked towards Li Xuandao's yard.
An Xin took the Blood Hell Great Sage to meet the three monkey demons.
Gu An walked all the way to the courtyard. He went to the table, saluted towards Li Xuandao, and sat down when Li Xuandao raised his hand to signal him.
Li Xuandao looked at Gu An and asked with a smile, "Why do I feel like you have changed again?"
Gu An replied: "A little older?"
As they get older, the relationship between Gu An and Li Xuandao becomes less one of superior and subordinate than before, and they gradually become like peers.
It’s not that Gu An’s apparent cultivation is so strong, but that both of them are hundreds of years old. Their life progress has been advancing. For people who are thousands or tens of thousands of years old, people who are five hundred to one thousand years old are all of the same generation. This concept also affects them invisibly.
The two began to exchange pleasantries, after all, they hadn't seen each other for many years.
Lu Xian is an extremely talented person, and so is Li Xuandao. His cultivation has already reached the Mahayana realm!
His cultivation in Mahayana realm has surpassed Lü Baitian. Lü Baitian’s cultivation used to be higher than Li Xuandao’s, but after he failed in his tribulation, he is still at the ninth level of Fusion realm.
Seeing Li Xuandao's growth rate, Gu An was very pleased. After all, they were on the same path. How could he not be happy to see his fellow Taoist's progress? Gu An couldn't be sure how many old friends would still be alive in front of him ten thousand years later, but he felt that there was great hope for Li Xuandao.
It is not uncommon for emperors to rule for tens of thousands of years. Look at Emperor Yangxian of the Immortal Dynasty and Emperor Shengtian of the Holy Court. Who of them has not been in power for more than a million years?
After chatting for a while, Li Xuandao suddenly sighed and said, "How many years do you think it will take for the Taicang Dynasty to become an existence like the Immortal Dynasty? The current chaos in the world is the best opportunity, but unfortunately our foundation is not strong enough, and we are afraid that we will miss such an opportunity."
The general situation in the world is changing with each passing day, but the accumulation of the dynasty cannot be that fast, which makes Li Xuandao anxious.
If they miss this opportunity, the world will welcome a new overlord, and the Taicang Dynasty will never have a chance to rise to prominence, and at most they will be able to dominate one side.
Gu An didn't expect that he actually wanted to replace Emperor Yang Xian and Sheng Tian. What a bold idea.
With Li Xuandao's power, he would certainly understand the strength of the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court. If it were someone else, facing such a gap, they would only be envious and in awe. As for being replaced, what would they think? "What if this chaos lasts for many years? This is a chaos for the whole world. Compared with the world, Taicang Continent is so small." Gu An comforted.
Li Xuandao looked at Gu An and suddenly asked, "There is a very powerful force that can help me, but accepting their help will also be a hidden danger in the future. If you were the emperor, what would you choose?"
A very strong force? Gu An secretly deduced and instantly understood that the force Li Xuandao was talking about was a large sect, one of the best sects in the world. As for choosing the Taicang Dynasty, it was because he wanted to establish a relationship with Fudao Jianzun.
If they could control the Taicang Dynasty, they would have more reason and opportunity to contact Fudao Sword Master.
In their opinion, Fudao Sword Master is qualified to contend with Emperor Yangxian, which is an indispensable fighting force if they want to surpass the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court.
Without the Immortal Zizai, how can we talk about unifying the world?
After Gu An figured it out, he replied, "It depends on what you want. Do you want peace for the people of the world, or do you want to realize your own ambitions?"
