If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 123 The True Tai Cang Shocking God Sword
"what happened?"

Li Ya asked himself in confusion. He couldn't wait to return to his inner sect cave to cultivate properly and then become famous throughout the world!
The ancestor's voice rang out: "Look at the one next to you, he's actually comprehending the Dao."

His tone was serious, even revealing a hint of shock.

Enlightenment?

Confused, Li Ya turned his head and looked around, his gaze quickly landing on Wu Jue.

Wu Jue was in a daze, completely different from the spirited Tai Xuan Sect disciples around him.

Is he attaining enlightenment?

"What path are you trying to comprehend? Are you contemplating cultivation techniques?" Li Ya asked in his heart.

The ancestor replied, "Enlightenment is a special state that can only be encountered by chance. During the process of enlightenment, one will feel the true meaning of heaven and earth, thus ushering in a transformation of comprehension and physical aptitude. Those who can achieve enlightenment, even if only once, can defy fate. Even I have never achieved enlightenment. I have only seen a friend of mine achieve enlightenment. If that person is still alive, he must be a first-class expert in the Nine Dynasties' cultivation world."

so smart?

Li Ya carefully examined the martial arts manual, but couldn't see anything different about it. It looked mediocre at all, not even as good as his junior brother Gu.

At least Junior Brother Gu is handsome, making him easy to like.

"The Tai Xuan Sect is truly a place where hidden talents abound. Not to mention Lü Xian and Ji Xiaoyu, An Hao's cultivation speed is unprecedented. I have never heard of such a prodigy before. Now you have met someone who has attained enlightenment. The younger one is when one attains enlightenment, the greater the potential. This child looks about your age. He is likely to soar to great heights in the future. The fortune of the Tai Xuan Sect is unstoppable."

The old man's tone was full of emotion.

He also felt the pressure.

He felt ashamed when he thought of the promise he had made to Li Ya.

He promised to help Li Ya reach the pinnacle of cultivation and become the number one in the world!

Seeing Lü Xian and Ji Xiaoyu, and hearing the legend of An Hao, he felt pressure.

These three are incredibly talented, and their backgrounds far surpass Li Ya's. At least, the patriarch felt he couldn't offer Li Ya an advantage in terms of cultivation resources.

"It's a good thing that the Tai Xuan Sect is so powerful. Having an opponent gives me something to look forward to," Li Ya thought confidently, leaving the patriarch speechless.

for a long time.

The old ancestor then said, "Just stay nearby and wait for him to wake up. Ask him if he has a master. If not, then take him in for me."

"Huh? I'll take him as my apprentice?"

"How could that be? Of course you'll become my apprentice!"

"What do you mean? If he becomes your apprentice, wouldn't that make him my ancestor?"

"Be content. Without my help, you wouldn't even be qualified to compete with such a genius."

The old ancestor spoke bluntly, and although Li Ya was very angry after hearing this, he did not refute it.

He began to wait, while pondering the sword intent of the Tai Cang Jing Shen Sword.

They waited for an entire night.

Wu Jue woke up the next morning.

He had attained enlightenment more than once, hence his calm expression.

He turned to leave, but Li Ya stopped him.

"Brother, do you have a master?" Li Ya asked directly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Jue's eyes flashed with coldness. He bypassed Li Ya and walked towards the stage.

Li Ya blocked his way again, which enraged Wu Jue, who raised his hand to shove Li Ya.

Li Ya's physical body was powerful, and he was not afraid of this Foundation Establishment cultivator at all.

Wu Jue placed his right hand on Li Ya's shoulder. Feeling the other's strength, he immediately clenched his fist and pushed hard.

Caught off guard, Li Ya was pushed back two steps.

Before he could react, Wu Jue flew away on his sword, making it difficult for Li Ya to give chase, since it was not allowed to cause trouble in the city.

"How is this possible... such strength..."

Li Ya was shocked and looked bewildered.

The old ancestor sighed in his heart: "What a pity, don't pursue it, lest it make enemies."

Li Ya lost his smile. As a Core Formation cultivator, he was actually pushed away by a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He had consumed the Dragon Elephant Divine Essence, a treasure coveted by the demon race.

What a shame!

No!

I'm still not strong enough!

Li Ya clenched his fists, and his arrogance vanished.

……

In autumn, the outer city gates become very lively.

Gu An and Wu Jue met at an inn, where they drank and chatted, awaiting the final battle.

Wu Jue was complaining to Gu An about Li Ya, whom he had met last month. He got angry whenever Li Ya was mentioned, feeling that Li Ya was humiliating him.

After listening, Gu An nodded and said, "There is indeed something wrong with him. He comes up with this question right away. It's okay, don't think about him. He is just a passerby in your life. You will become a genius sooner or later. Why bother with such a small character?"

Although the person Wu Jue mentioned was somewhat despicable, Gu An felt that his crime did not warrant death, and Wu Jue did not need to take it to heart.

If Wu Jue is so petty about such minor frictions, what will he be like when he grows up?
If you encounter someone you don't like, just kill them?

Gu An didn't want Wu Jue to become that kind of person. Wu Jue nodded and said, "Of course I won't hold a grudge. I just wanted to get it off my chest. You know, you're my only friend."

Gu An asked, "When will you reveal your talent?"

The inn was packed with people, most of whom were talking about the Sword Master Fudao and the Heavenly Sword Daoist, and no one paid any attention to them.

Hearing Gu An's words, Wu Jue shook his head and said, "It's fine as it is now."

He didn't trust anyone, after all, the Tai Xuan Sect had experienced internal strife before, and the former sect leader even sacrificed his disciples with blood, which made him wary of the Tai Xuan Sect.

Gu An took a storage bag from his waist and handed it to him.

Wu Jue, suspicious, took the storage bag and probed it with his divine sense. Immediately, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly pushed it back, saying, "Brother Gu, this is unacceptable... How could you have so many..."

He had always thought that Gu An was just an ordinary disciple from the bottom level, just like him, but he never expected that Gu An could produce so many pills.

Gu An smiled and said, "I am the Valley Master who manages the Medicine Valley. These are the pills I usually refine. Please accept them. I don't have much desire to become stronger. I'm most afraid of fighting. Planting flowers and grass is my real pleasure. So it's better to give you the pills. When you become stronger, you'll have to protect me in the future."

“But… this is too much…” Wu Jue hesitated.

"You said I'm your only friend, so accept this. I really feel bad about it. From now on, acknowledge me as your elder brother, your father, and your teacher. I will take good care of you on behalf of your master. What I have in abundance is elixirs."

Gu An winked and said, and Wu Jue glared at him with a smile.

"I'm two years older than you, so I should be the older brother!"

"Forget it, you're not as mature as me."

The two started bickering, and Wu Jue's smile grew even wider.

In the end, Wu Jue accepted the storage bag, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would never allow anyone to bully Gu An in the future.

The two continued to toast each other.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a loud voice resounded throughout the outer city gates:
"This humble Daoist, Heavenly Sword Daoist, has come specifically to inquire about the swordsmanship of the Supreme Sword Master of the Tai Xuan Sect!"

As the words fell, a powerful and boundless sword intent enveloped the entire outer city.

Wu Jue's expression changed, and he immediately turned his head to look. Gu An had already sensed the aura of the Heavenly Sword Daoist, so he remained unmoved.

The Heavenly Sword Daoist is indeed very strong, even stronger than the Night Refining Fairy of the Ephemeral Flower Sect. I estimate he has a cultivation level of around the fourth or fifth level of the Profound Heart Realm.

Once you reach the Profound Heart Realm, even a single minor realm difference becomes incredibly difficult to overcome; no wonder the Heavenly Sword Daoist dared to come.

Gu An stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at the Pill Hall. I need to hurry up and finish it so that I can watch the final battle between the Sword Master Fudao and the Heavenly Sword Daoist. I'll come find you later."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Wu Jue didn't have time to persuade him. After he went downstairs, Wu Jue leaned out of the window and shouted, "Hurry up!"

Gu An waved his hand without turning his head and quickly disappeared around the street corner.

The Heavenly Sword Daoist has arrived!

The outer city was instantly abuzz with excitement, as more and more cultivators took to the skies, searching for the figure of the Heavenly Sword Daoist.

Just then, a sword shadow flashing with white light descended from the sky, hovering above the south gate, ten feet high. On the hilt of the sword stood an old man with white hair and an air of otherworldly grace. He was dressed in white, with no sword or weapon in his hand, and his hands were behind his back.

He closed his eyes and began to wait.

The news spread quickly, and disciples from all directions of the outer city rushed to the scene.

Lu Baitian brought An Hao to the Heaven-Mending Platform. Immediately afterwards, Ancestor Xuanquan, Gu Zong, and other high-ranking members of the Tai Xuan Sect appeared one after another.

An Hao gazed at the figure of the Heavenly Sword Daoist, his eyes filled with curiosity.

He now knows that his master is the Sword Master Fudao of the Taixuan Sect, so he came to watch the battle. In his heart, his master is invincible, so he is not worried at all that his master will lose.

He just wanted to see how the Heavenly Sword Daoist would lose!
Ancestor Xuanquan stroked his beard and sighed, "Such a profound sword intent, his cultivation is extremely deep. As expected of him, he is as powerful as he was a thousand years ago."

He was a contemporary of the Heavenly Sword Daoist, and he had witnessed the Heavenly Sword Daoist's power, so he did not underestimate him.

The number of people on the Sky-Mending Platform increased rapidly, and the vast platform quickly became crowded.

Li Ya also arrived. He stood on a rooftop, observing Tianjian Daoren from afar.

The aura of the Heavenly Sword Daoist was too strong, giving people the feeling of facing an immortal descending to earth, far surpassing that of the Astounding Swan Guest, which made Li Ya nervous.

"This old guy is no ordinary person," Li Ya thought to himself.

"Indeed, he is probably a being above the Integration Realm. To dare to jump out at this critical juncture, he must be very confident and stronger than I was in life," the ancestor said solemnly.

How come I'm better than you again?

Li Ya really wanted to complain, but she held back.

But the ancestor could hear his thoughts, and for a moment they were in an awkward situation, only able to wait for the Sword Master Fudao to appear.

Prince Si Zhe from Tianwei stepped onto the Heaven-Mending Platform and laughed, "Everyone, watch closely! I, the number one swordsman of Tianwei, will show you what a true sword immortal is!"

Upon hearing his words, the disciples of the Tai Xuan Sect were immediately indignant. However, the aura of the Heavenly Sword Daoist was too strong, and under his watchful eye, the disciples of the Tai Xuan Sect dared not utter any arrogant words.

Time continues to pass.

Shen Zhen also arrived. She stood on the eaves, took out paper and pen, and looked at Tianjian Daoren with anticipation in her eyes.

at the same time.

Gu An had moved to a forest and sat under a tree, pondering how to defeat the Heavenly Sword Daoist.

Since it's a rare opportunity to make a move, and it's under the watchful eyes of everyone, we have to put on a big show!
Gu An looked at the leaf in his hand, then suddenly threw the autumn leaf on the ground and muttered, "Fine, let me show you the real Tai Cang Jing Shen Sword."
