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

Chapter 209 Hostility from the Divine Soul True Monarch

After Li Ya put down the paper, the topic unconsciously shifted to the Sword Master Fudao, as if they could talk about the Sword Master Fudao forever.

Zhang Bukui said that when the Sword Master Fudao made his move, he saw a blur and suspected that it was the Sword Master Fudao who had passed by them.

Li Ya also said he saw it, and the two of them were quite certain.

Gu An found it amusing. He had deliberately let An Hao and the other two see him, or more accurately, let the Tai Xuan Sect cultivators realize that he had come from the Tai Xuan Sect.

With the Wuji Zizai Step, Gu An could move to the side of the Divine Soul True Monarch in one step.

The three chatted for another hour before Li Ya and Zhang Bukui finally took their leave.

Li Ya was preparing to introduce Zhang Bukui to the family, and he had many things to do next, so Gu An naturally did not try to stop him.

Watching them disappear into the vast snow, Gu An stood for a long time before going inside.

……

As the year draws to a close and the Spring Festival approaches, the human race of the Three Dynasties has completely overcome the calamity of demons. On the surface, it seems that peaceful days will follow. Therefore, Lü Baitian issued an order to hold a grand Spring Festival this year.

Even before the Spring Festival arrives, various cities have already begun preparations, and this atmosphere has also affected Xuan Valley and the Third Medicine Valley.

To welcome the new era, Lü Baitian promulgated many regulations, improving the treatment of disciples at every level, down to the menial disciples, which made the entire sect rejoice.

Gu An rode the Blood Prison Great Sage to the outer city for a stroll. He could sense that there were many people in the city with hidden cultivation levels, more than twenty of whom were at the Profound Heart Realm, three at the Great Ascension Realm, and one at the Nirvana Realm.

These people are all from overseas and have been collecting various intelligence over the past year, mainly regarding the views of Tai Xuan Sect cultivators on the Holy Land Seven Star Spirit Realm and the Sword Venerable Fudao.

They couldn't affect Gu An, so Gu An didn't bother to pay attention to them.

Along the way, Gu An encountered many old acquaintances, including disciples who had graduated from the Medicine Valley and fellow disciples he had made in the Library and Pill Hall. He didn't find the conversation boring; on the contrary, he found it interesting.

Listening to my friends' recent progress in cultivating immortality is also a way to broaden my experience.

The festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival permeated every street, and even the Great Sage of Blood Prison looked around curiously.

Unbeknownst to him, Gu An had arrived at the Heaven-Mending Platform again.

The vast Heaven-Mending Platform was filled with people, and the noise was deafening. Many outer disciples were standing guard at the edge of the platform.

Having first vanquished the Demon Ancestor and then eliminated the Fiend, the Prestige of the Sword Venerable of the Righteous Path had reached its zenith. Even disciples from other sects who came here would ascend the Heaven-Mending Platform to pay homage to the words "Righteous Path."

The entire cultivation world is discussing the Sword Sovereign who supports the Dao, and it's worth mentioning that the Sword Sovereign myth written by Xuan Tianyi has become extremely popular.

In the book, the Sword Master Fudao likes to pat his enemies on the shoulder in the dark, which corresponds to the scene where the Sword Master Fudao pressed down on the shoulder of the Divine Soul True Monarch. This makes people wonder if Qingxia knows the Sword Master Fudao.
Gu An simply watched from below the stage. There were many people like him, mostly at the Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining stages, who were already quite satisfied with just watching the excitement from afar.

Then, Gu An patted the Blood Prison Great Sage on the shoulder and gave him directions.

The festival is coming soon, and he needs to prepare gifts for his disciples.

This year's Spring Festival is different. Tai Xuan Sect is ready for rapid development. The previous Golden List Competition, Alchemy Competition and World's Number One Swordsmanship Competition have accumulated a huge fortune for Tai Xuan Sect. Now that the world is at peace, it is time to make great strides.

Gu An also needs to prepare to gather high-grade medicinal herbs for the cave.

Sudden.

A notification appeared before Gu An's eyes.

[The Divine Soul True Lord has become hostile towards you and harbors murderous intent towards you. Do you wish to use the Lifespan Probe on him?]

A notification suddenly appeared in front of Gu An, causing him to frown.

very good!

Gu An took a deep breath and then chose to use his lifespan detection technique. He had already looked at it before, but now he wanted to look at it again because he was looking at his own fate.

【Divine Soul True Monarch (Third Layer of Immortal Realm): 28098/130000/180000】

They have about 100,000 years left to live!
It should be possible to gain a lifespan of ten thousand years!
Gu An changed his mind and told the Blood Prison Great Sage to leave the outer city, not towards the inner city, but to go out and find a deserted forest to wait for a while.

……

Inside a secluded palace, the floor reflects a fluorescent glow, and the stone pillars on both sides are inlaid with many spiritual stones. It is the light emitted by these spiritual stones that illuminates the hall.

At the far end of the hall, the Divine Soul True Lord sat on the head seat, holding a scroll in his hands. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the black-clad man kneeling in the hall, and said, "You may leave now."

The man in black immediately turned and left. After the door closed again, the Divine Soul True Monarch frowned, propped his cheek with his left hand, and held the scroll in his right hand, lost in thought.

His gaze would occasionally drift to the scroll in his hand.

"Mysterious Heavenly Intent..."

The Divine Soul True Monarch muttered to himself. Although he was wary of the Sword Venerable Fudao after leaving the continent, he did not give up.

He ordered the spies of the Tai Xuan Sect to investigate all of Xuan Tianyi's relationships, and the scroll in his hand recorded all the people closely related to Xuan Tianyi.

The demon's growing strength is likely related to Xuan Tianyi, and the intervention of the Sword Venerable Fudao was solely to save him.

No matter how Shenhun Zhenjun thought about it, he felt that the failure of the war against the fierce demons was all Xuan Tianyi's fault.

Therefore, he harbored murderous intent towards Xuan Tianyi and those around him.

However, he dared not make a move rashly, as there might be a hidden identity among these people, such as the Sword Master Fudao.

The thought of the Sword Master Fudao made Shenhun Zhenjun feel troubled.

Fortunately, Sanxingdong hasn't contacted him much over the years, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to explain himself.

"Alas!" The Divine Soul True Monarch sighed, stood up, and prepared to go to the Lesser Spirit Realm for seclusion.

The next thing Seven Star Spirit Realm needs to do is maintain its image and avoid being discovered by the surrounding powerful forces for its evil deeds. As the high and mighty cave master, he only needs to convey orders and will not spend time managing it personally.

He took two steps forward, just about to step down the stairs.

A hand suddenly landed on his shoulder, and although it was just a light pat, his heart stopped beating instantly.

He could never forget the feeling of being patted on the shoulder by the Sword Master Fudao.

He instinctively felt fear, and just as he was about to speak, an incomparably terrifying magical power poured into his body, instantly turning his physical body to ashes and even his primordial spirit into nothingness.

The difference between the ninth level of the Celestial Immortal Realm and the third level of the Wandering Immortal Realm is enormous!
In front of Gu An, the Divine Soul True Monarch was no different from an ant.

The scroll in the hands of the Divine Soul True Monarch also vanished into thin air, and Gu An, who had unleashed the Nine Extremes Yin Yang Body, disappeared from the spot as if he had never existed.

He quickly returned to the Tai Xuan Sect, emerged from the bushes, and headed towards the Blood Prison Great Sage.

He was out of the Blood Prison Great Sage's sight for less than ten breaths.

The Blood Prison Great Sage, whose cultivation was sealed, had no idea what he had done. Upon seeing him return, the Blood Prison Great Sage, who had just been lying down, quickly got up.

Gu An hung the wildflowers he had picked on his ox's horns and sent it towards Xuan Valley.

The Great Sage of Blood Prison didn't think much of it and drove away with Gu An.

At this moment, Gu An appeared calm, but in reality, he was deeply troubled.

He looked at the prompt again: killing the Divine Soul True Monarch would grant him 10,500 years of lifespan.

The Wonderland is indeed amazing; it's no longer as insignificant as weeds!
When killing the Divine Soul True Monarch, Gu An didn't even dare to search his soul. The Divine Soul True Monarch must know many high-level immortals, and he was afraid that searching his soul would disturb those powerful beings.

He has already been able to glimpse cause and effect. If he studies the principles of cause and effect in depth, it will be equivalent to activating the ability to foresee lifespan.

He didn't even search the cave.

It is not surprising that a great cultivator like Shenhun Zhenjun could disappear for decades or even centuries.

It depends on whether the Seven Star Spirit Realm has any magical artifacts that can be used to contact disciples.

Gu An once read a book that said certain sects at sea possessed special magical artifacts, which allowed them to detect the death of a member of their sect immediately.

Regardless, let's take a gamble first. Gu An won't allow anyone who harbors murderous intent towards him to live; the longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes!
……

After the Spring Festival, the Tai Xuan Sect began to build momentum for the World's Number One Cultivation Tournament.

What is the Cultivation Conference?

This was inspired by Lü Baitian's Heaven-Slaying Axe, which was to create a heavy object that participants could control with their spiritual power. After the news of this conference spread, it attracted widespread attention in the cultivation world.

Such a conference has never been held before. Lü Baitian plans to spend five years preparing for it and has even announced that overseas cultivators will participate.

Since killing the Divine Soul True Monarch, Gu An has been using his divine sense to observe the Three Dynasties Land every day. Fortunately, everything is peaceful, and the premonition of lifespan has not been triggered.

In mid-March, Lü Baitian came to visit Gu An.

The two drank wine in the room, with Gu An listening attentively to Lü Baitian's ambitious aspirations, occasionally interjecting.

He didn't know how to manage a sect, but he could offer some suggestions, and Lü Baitian's ideas were currently to his liking.

Lü Baitian focused his efforts on external matters, with the entire sect working towards its growth. As a result, there was much less internal strife, and the Tai Xuan Sect is currently enjoying unprecedented harmony.

"Although the world is at peace now, I still feel uneasy, just like half a year ago when I was dealing with the Fiend Demon. That mysterious cultivator was incredibly powerful."

Lu Baitian put down his wine bowl and sighed.

That man is dead.

Gu An thought this to himself, but said aloud, "Didn't they say that person was a senior immortal from the Holy Land? The Holy Land shouldn't bring about a catastrophe, right?"

Lu Baitian curled his lip and said, "Who knows? Alright, let's not talk about these things. Anyway, I hope that in my lifetime, a being who surpasses the Great Ascension Realm will be born in the Tai Xuan Sect. For this, I will spare no effort to do my best."

Gu An nodded and said, "An Hao is exceptionally talented; he is the best prospect."

"Yes."

A smile appeared on Lü Baitian's face. After experiencing the tribulation of the fierce demon, he seemed to have changed his opinion of An Hao.

That's good. Hopefully, he'll set his sights on An Hao. Gu An doesn't want to be the sect leader.

The two chatted for a long time before Lü Baitian finally took his leave.

He also got an idea from Gu An. Before the World's Number One Cultivation Tournament even started, he had already begun planning the next grand event.

After Lü Baitian left, Gu An did not stay in the Third Medicine Valley for long. He returned to Xuan Valley and then quietly left.

He continuously used the Limitless Free Steps to quickly move away from the mainland.

After walking several dozen steps, he arrived at a vast island, the most prosperous island in this sea area, with more than five million cultivators, and people coming and going at any time.

He made no attempt to disguise himself. This place was extremely far from the Tai Xuan Sect. Even for someone at the Mahayana Realm, it would take a long time to cross it, and there were countless sea monsters along the way.

Nobody here recognizes him!

The purpose of this trip is to purchase medicinal herb seeds, as his cave only grows herbs of the seventh rank or higher!
