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

Chapter 130 How come you also have the Tai Cang Jing Divine Sword?
On the fighting field.

Dressed in black, Li Ya slowly drew the North Sea Heavy Sword from his back. His face was cold and stern, and his gaze was fixed on the figure a hundred feet away, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

His opponent was An Hao.

An Hao stood tall and straight, dressed in a magnificent blue robe with a gold-threaded purple belt. His long hair was coiled under a silver crown, which was inlaid with a golden phoenix. He was fiddling with a wristband, which was also exquisite. A gentle breeze blew the black hair on both sides of his face, and his smile was so radiant.

He raised his chin slightly, looked down at Li Ya, and laughed, "You defeated your enemy before entirely by the weight of that sword. This time, your opponent is me, so don't even think about holding back your strength."

Li Ya asked, "An Hao, how old are you this year?"

An Hao replied, "Forty years old, so what?"

A forty-year-old at the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm...

Li Ya remained silent, a silence that instilled envy in everyone.

He took a deep breath, raised the North Sea Heavy Sword, and said, "Then let me see the power of the number one genius of the Tai Xuan Sect!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and in three steps he was in front of An Hao. He swung his sword and slashed, the heavy Beihai sword stirring up a strong wind.

An Hao used two fingers of his right hand as a sword, extending sword energy from his fingertips to deflect Li Ya's sword moves.

Swords flashed and sword energy overflowed as the two figures clashed, engaging in a fierce and swift battle that drew cheers from the outer city walls.

Gu An stood on the roof, looking up at the battle.

Wu Jue suddenly moved closer to him, and together they looked up at the light screen in the sky. He exclaimed, "These two are amazing."

“That’s for sure, after all, they are geniuses renowned throughout the Tai Xuan Sect,” Gu An replied.

An Hao and Li Ya are both at the Core Formation stage, but their battles are far more exciting than those of other Core Formation stage geniuses.

Li Ya's movements were powerful and heavy, possessing a ferocious momentum that seemed capable of splitting mountains and cleaving rivers.

An Hao moved with agility and grace, appearing completely at ease as he faced Li Ya's swordplay.

The two moved with incredible speed, outpacing most of the disciples in the outer city. They moved with incredible agility, and only the light of their swords could indicate their whereabouts.

Clang!
An Hao flipped over and swung his arm, the sword energy on his finger pressing down on Li Ya's legs, causing the North Sea Heavy Sword above his head to tremble, demonstrating the immense strength of An Hao.

Li Ya hadn't expected that An Hao could match his strength after consuming the Dragon Elephant Divine Essence, which greatly increased the pressure on him.

boom!
A terrifying sword intent erupted, sending An Hao flying. An Hao somersaulted in the air and landed steadily a hundred feet away.

An Hao looked at Li Ya in surprise, then a smile appeared on his face, a maniacal laugh.

The spectator light screen can transmit some of the battle pressure, so that the spectators know that the battle is not fake. Therefore, when Li Ya's sword intent was released, the entire Tai Xuan Sect was invigorated.

"This is the sword intent of the Sword Master Fudao!"

"Li Ya actually obtained the inheritance of the Sword Master of the Dao?"

"I spent several days at the Heaven-Mending Platform, and this is definitely the sword intent of the Sword Venerable Fudao!"

"Li Ya is amazing! I never expected him to be the strongest among the royal family members!"

"He's much more capable than his sister, Li Xuanyu!"

The city where Gu An was located was also thrown into an uproar, and Li Ya's use of the Tai Cang Jing Shen Sword shocked countless people.

Feeling the sword intent, Wu Jue exclaimed in amazement, "So powerful! I feel like it won't be so easy for me to beat him."

Gu An couldn't help but glance at him.

It's just not that easy?
Li Ya, enveloped in sword intent, straightened up. He raised his sword and pointed it at An Hao. His black hair danced wildly, and his black clothes fluttered in the wind. His entire aura suddenly changed, and his face became so cold and stern.

"The battle is only just beginning."

Li Ya said coldly, he didn't expect to be forced to use the Tai Cang Jing Shen Sword so early, he could only blame his bad luck for meeting An Hao ahead of time.

When he unleashed the Tai Cang Jing Shen Sword, he felt the battle could be over.

Even though An Hao has not yet used any powerful magic, no magic can compare to the Tai Cang Jing Shen Sword.

The news of An Hao's initial comprehension of sword intent was kept secret, and Li Ya, who was away from home for many years, had no idea about An Hao's fighting methods.

However, Li Ya was quite puzzled when he saw An Hao smiling.

Is this guy crazy?
An Hao patted his robes, a smile playing on his lips.

boom!
A vast sword intent, far surpassing Li Ya's, erupted, causing the entire valley to tremble. The violent sword energy condensed into a giant face above An Hao's head, looking down at Li Ya.

Before this giant face radiating sword energy, Li Ya appeared so small, and his sword energy seemed even more insignificant.

"How is this possible! How could you also possess the Tai Cang Jing Divine Sword?"

Li Ya exclaimed in disbelief.

Inside the outer city, countless people were also exclaiming in surprise that even An Hao had received the inheritance of the Sword Master of the Dao!

The Ephemeral Flower Demon Mother stood on the Heaven-Mending Platform, gazing at the luminous screen in the sky, her delicate brows furrowed, and her eyes revealing shock.

The Tai Cang Jing Divine Sword, which had been lost for thousands of years, has reappeared in the world, and three inheritors have appeared at once.
Even the Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower, who knew the origin of the Tai Cang Jing Shen Sword, was frightened. At the same time, she felt even more awe for the Sword Venerable Fu Dao.

She could tell that the two people's ability to wield the Tai Cang Jing Divine Sword must be related to the Fu Dao Sword Venerable.

Within the light curtain.

An Hao soared into the air, looking down at Li Ya from his high position, and laughed, "Since we are from the same school, let's see whose sword intent is stronger!"

He raised his right hand, palm facing Li Ya, and the smile on his face disappeared.

When Li Ya unleashed the Tai Cang Jing Shen Sword, he felt a sense of closeness to Li Ya and recognized Li Ya as his master's disciple.

Even his fellow disciples wouldn't show him mercy. He, An Hao, was born to be the strongest!
All opponents must submit to him!
An Hao's eyes narrowed, and the giant sword-qi face widened its eyes. Countless sword shadows shot out like a galaxy, with a powerful and unstoppable momentum.

Li Ya gripped his sword with both hands, raised it, and slashed, unleashing the strongest sword technique he knew.

He gritted his teeth, his face contorted, and roared inwardly, "I can't lose!"

The two sword intents clashed, and the sword light enveloped the entire city.

The sword light illuminated Wu Jue's face, and he was momentarily lost in thought.

"An Hao is so strong, I'm no match for him..." Wu Jue muttered to himself.

If his opponent were Li Ya, he would still have some confidence, but An Hao's strength left him with no confidence at all.

Gu An watched the battle expressionlessly.

He was pleased with An Hao and Li Ya's progress, but Li Ya's impending serious injury made it difficult for him to be happy.

He even suspected that Lü Baitian had arranged it this way on purpose. Lü Baitian had always disliked Li Xuandao, so he arranged for An Hao to harm Li Xuandao's most beloved son.
In any case, Li Ya's journey has come to an end; he couldn't even break into the top 500.

A few breaths later, the sword's power dissipated.

The ground shattered, and Li Ya lay on the ground covered in blood, his black clothes torn, too weak to stand up.

"The winner is An Hao from the Tai Xuan Sect of the Taicang Dynasty!"

When the elders announced the results, the entire city was thrilled, marveling at An Hao's power.

An Hao had never used such a powerful sword technique before, but he always managed to defeat his enemies easily. This time, everyone witnessed how amazing An Hao's sword energy and spiritual power were. He didn't look like a Core Formation cultivator at all; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Gu An looked at Wu Jue and said, "If you encounter An Hao, don't confront him head-on."

Among those of the same cultivation level, whoever encounters An Hao will be eliminated.

Even martial arts techniques that have been mastered through multiple enlightenments are the same.

Looking at all the cultivators present, it's estimated that only Gu An could defeat An Hao, but he has no intention of doing so, and Lü Baitian won't let him encounter An Hao either.

"You're the same," Wu Jue said in a muffled voice.

Gu An smiled; this kid was interesting.

……

The news of An Hao obtaining the inheritance of the Sword Master Fudao swept through the cultivation world like a whirlwind. As for the defeated Li Ya, most people believed that he comprehended the sword intent on the Heaven-Mending Platform and was not the true inheritor of the Sword Master Fudao. Although both wielded the Tai Cang Jing Shen Sword, his sword intent was far inferior to An Hao's.

An Hao's fame soared, while Li Ya was quickly forgotten.

After his defeat, Li Ya did not seek out Gu An, presumably recuperating and isolating himself in his cave.

Ten days later.

Inside Tianya Valley, Gu An met Li Xuandao.

Li Xuandao waved to him from afar, and he immediately sat down.

Lu Xian, Yi Liuyun, and Luo Hun were also sitting around the table. When they saw Gu An coming, Luo Hun very considerately stood up and offered him a seat.

"How is Li Ya doing?" Li Xuandao asked with a smile, seemingly unconcerned about Li Ya's defeat.

Gu An noticed that his cultivation level had increased again, reaching the third level of the Transcendent Realm.

To be honest, Gu An really wanted to see Li Xuandao participate in the Golden List Competition; he felt that Li Xuandao could break into the top ten.

Li Xuandao is not yet three hundred years old, yet he is qualified to participate in the Golden Ranking Conference. At less than three hundred years old and at the third level of the Void Transcending Realm, he is definitely a genius among the top in the world.

"I don't know, he didn't come looking for me," Gu An replied.

Li Xuandao sighed, "Losing to An Hao is not shameful. An Hao's reputation has spread to the other eight dynasties, and everyone in the world recognizes his talent."

Even disregarding strength, An Hao's speed of breakthroughs alone is unparalleled in the world.

Jiang Qiong reached the Core Formation stage at forty and considered herself exceptionally talented, while An Hao, also forty, was already capable of forming the Nascent Soul stage. The reason he hadn't formed it yet was because the Golden Ranking Tournament had delayed him.

Even if An Hao, who is at the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm, could win against a top genius at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, he would likely be greatly exhausted. However, if he could pull his opponent to the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm, then there would be no suspense whatsoever.

Gu An nodded and said, "An Hao is indeed amazing. Senior Brother Li was just unlucky."

Lu Xian snorted, "It's alright, I'll avenge Li Ya later."

He also participated in three magical duels, and no one could withstand ten moves from him.

Li Xuandao looked at Gu An and said, "I sent your disciple Ye Yan to the Sanqing Mountain of the Chen Tang Dynasty to cultivate. When he returns, he will surely have undergone a complete transformation."

Ye Yan?

Gu An thought of the disciple who always held a gun, never expecting him to have such an opportunity.

Of course, he also understood that Li Xuandao was sending him a message: without Li Xuandao's arrangement, Ye Yan would never have had this opportunity.

"Thank you, Uncle," Gu An said immediately.

Li Xuandao then said, "Tell me, if I can win over the Sword Venerable Fudao, will I be able to secure this throne?"

Gu An replied, "You can sit still even without him."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuandao burst into laughter.

Yi Liuyun and Lü Xian didn't laugh; they thought so too.

Li Xuandao suppressed his smile and said, "I already know who the Sword Master Fudao is."
