Chapter 223 Divine Spirit Recognizes Master!

Facing the enraged Nine-Fingered Divine Lord, Gu An remained calm. Holding the phoenix, he said, "If you carefully sense it, you will know that this cause and effect is not something you can take."

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord, who was about to launch an attack, subconsciously dispersed his divine sense.

A few breaths later, his expression changed drastically, and fear appeared in his eyes.

The spirits and demons of heaven and earth continued to surge forth, rushing towards them recklessly, their roars echoing throughout the world.

Suddenly, Gu An crushed the phoenix in his hand, and the gods and ghosts in the world were annihilated one after another, turning into ashes. The clamor stopped abruptly.

Chu Jingfeng stood on the gourd, turned his head and looked at Gu An from afar, his expression changing drastically.

A dark purple demonic shadow, surrounded by demonic energy...

"help……"

He had barely uttered a single word when a terrifying divine sense locked onto him, frightening him into silence.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord also calmed down. He looked at Gu An and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

He could sense an even more terrifying aura brewing beneath the earth.

In terms of sheer power, he was already beyond his ability to contend with.

Gu An did not answer, but instead pressed his palm down.

Rumbling--

The earth shattered, and rubble rose into the air. The entire world seemed on the verge of collapse. The aura emanating from Gu An even made the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord tremble with fear.

"Just how high is his cultivation level?" Nine-Fingered Divine Lord wondered to himself, feeling fortunate.

If he had acted rashly just now, or if the other party had ambushed him directly, he would probably be in grave danger.

Chu Jingfeng also looked down nervously. Rocks rose up around him and flew towards the sky. Looking out, the earth on the horizon was also breaking apart, with no end in sight. The visual impact made him afraid to even breathe.

Suddenly, he seemed to see something, his eyes widened, and his whole body trembled.

As the earth shattered, a colossal black mass appeared below, seemingly endless, sending chills down his spine.

In the daylight, this colossal black creature appears terrifying and horrifying.

From high above, the enormous black object below was writhing. It was so large that its shape could not be determined, let alone what it was.

Gu An stared intently.

【Divine Spirits (Third Layer of the Celestial Realm): 0/0/0】

It has no lifespan indicator, but it possesses a realm of its own.

Gu An suddenly clenched his right hand, which was suspended in the air, and the enormous, wondrous immortal spirit below shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is divine power, the universe in the palm of one's hand!

He had previously used this supernatural power to capture the phoenix in his palm; this time, he intended to capture a celestial being who had ascended to heaven.

The divine spirit struggled frantically, but once enveloped by Gu An's magic power, it had no way to break free. Under the watchful eyes of the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord and Chu Jingfeng, the divine spirit, which had transformed into a giant black creature, rapidly shrank.

In the end, the divine spirit fell into Gu An's hands, resembling a wisp of black mist that kept changing shape.

Gu An then disappeared from the spot, leaving Nine-Fingered Divine Lord and Chu Jingfeng standing there, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

After a long while, Chu Jingfeng flew to the side of Nine-Fingered Divine Lord and asked nervously, "Master, what should we do next?"

He knew that the figure he had just seen was the Sword Master Fudao, but he decided to keep it a secret.

The Sword Master Fudao is the most revered figure in the hearts of all disciples of the Tai Xuan Sect. He has saved the Tai Xuan Sect and the human race of three dynasties on numerous occasions. Chu Jingfeng felt that he also owed the Sword Master Fudao a life, so he chose to side with the Sword Master Fudao.

Even if he revealed his identity as the Sword Master of the Dao, he felt that doing so would only push the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord into the abyss.

Judging from his previous performance, Nine-Finger Divine Lord is no match for Sword Venerable Fudao.

Thinking of this, Chu Jingfeng was filled with emotion.

During the time he followed the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord, he thought that the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord was stronger than the Sword Venerable Fudao, and that he had encountered an extremely fortunate opportunity.

result……

He couldn't help but wonder just how strong the Sword Master Fudao was.

It now appears that the Sword Master Fudao was not from the Taixuan Sect at all; he was merely living in seclusion within the Taixuan Sect and incidentally protecting it.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord took a deep breath and said, "It's time to leave."

He was indeed angry that his divine spirit had been stolen, but Gu An's display of the Divine Power of the Palm was enough to make him give up any desire to fight for it.

Moreover, the aura emanating from the divine spirit was clearly beyond his control. If the mysterious person from earlier had not appeared, he might have been devoured by the divine spirit and transformed into a ghostly soul.

Chu Jingfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his master's words.

He was genuinely afraid that his master might have some obsession.

Having explored the Mysterious City for so long, he had already gained much and couldn't wait to return to the Tai Xuan Sect for some seclusion.

the other side.

Gu An arrived at a most secluded little world, where there were no living beings, the sky was dark, and trees that looked like evil ghosts stood on the ground.

He looked at the mystical spirit in his hand. The mystical spirit had stopped struggling and was trembling.

Just as Gu An was hesitating about who to give it to, it suddenly burst open and then burrowed into Gu An's palm.

The process was extremely fast, and when Gu An tried to stop it, he suddenly sensed its emotions.

It is pleading.

Gu An fell silent.

Soon, he felt his own magical power merging into the body of the divine spirit, a process of recognition he had never experienced before.

He is controlling the divine spirits and the entire city of the divine.

After one stick of incense.

The divine spirit re-formed and reappeared in Gu An's palm. From this moment on, Gu An was the master of the divine spirit and also the master of the Divine City.

This left him with mixed feelings.

If he had tried to stop it, the divine spirits would have been reduced to ashes, so he had no choice but to accept it.

Of course, Gu An can now easily dissipate divine spirits, making them cease to exist.

After acknowledging the master, Gu An gained a deeper understanding of the Mystic City.

Even if the divine spirit is destroyed, as long as the city of the divine spirit still exists, a new divine spirit will be born. As for whether it will be the same one, it is hard to say, because it is very resistant to death.

"Owner."

A divine, ethereal voice echoed in Gu An's heart; the voice was childlike, like that of a young boy.

Gu An asked, "Could you let others share your power, hide the fact that I am your master, and let others pretend to be your master?"

The mystical spirit twisted in his palm and suddenly transformed into a tiny, black figure with no hair or facial features, only the shape of a five or six-year-old boy, and a height of about ten centimeters.

The mystical spirit tilted its head, thought for a moment, and said, "It is possible, but won't you be unhappy if I do that?"

Gu An replied, "No, next I will ask you to protect one of my juniors, but you cannot reveal my existence to him. You must pretend to acknowledge him as your master."

The divine spirits nodded obediently after hearing this.

Gu An led him away and disappeared from the spot.

He arrived in another world, a dense forest, where Li Ya and Zhang Bukui were resting.

Gu An used his mind to tell the divine spirit to go find Li Ya.

The divine spirit immediately leaped from his hand and went to find Li Ya.

Within the City of Mysteries, if you were to ask who Gu An cares about most, it would undoubtedly be Li Ya. Moreover, although Li Ya has had many opportunities, he is clearly far inferior to geniuses like An Hao and Lü Xian, so he chooses to help Li Ya.

As for An Hao, whether or not there is a Divine City, he will rise to prominence sooner or later. If he goes to the Star Sea Sect, even without a pseudo-immortal treasure like the Divine City, he can still possess an immortal treasure that is no less powerful than the Dragon-Slaying Spear.

The Dragon-Slaying Spear is incredibly powerful; with it, Chi Jiuxiao can display power comparable to that of a wandering immortal.

The wondrous spirit hopped and skipped along, its aura ethereal, so Li Ya and his companion were completely unaware of it while they were still meditating and cultivating.

When the wondrous spirit jumped onto Li Ya's shoulder, he was so startled that he instinctively opened his eyes.

"Lili—"

The wondrous spirit cried out and then plunged its head into Li Ya's face, startling him so much that he quickly stood up.

"what?"

Li Ya kept touching his face, but couldn't feel anything. Zhang Buku, who was next to him, was also frightened and hurriedly got up and went to him.

Upon learning that something had entered Li Ya's body, Zhang Bukui panicked.

The two were in a flurry of activity, even using their spiritual senses to look inside their bodies, but they couldn't find anything dirty at all.

After a while, Li Ya suddenly stopped, his expression strange.

"Brother Li, are you alright?" Zhang Buku asked anxiously.

Li Ya took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Bukui, and said with a complicated expression, "Brother, it seems that I have been recognized as a master by a celestial spirit?"

"what?"

Zhang Buku stared wide-eyed, unable to believe his ears.

"real or fake?"

"real……"

"why are you?"

"What do you mean? I'm not good enough?"

"How dare you?"

"You! Show me some respect! I can command spirits and ghosts. If you want to leave, you'll have to see if I'm willing!"

"Brother Li! We are brothers who will live and die together..."

"You bastard, you're saying things like that again..."

In the distance, Gu An listened to Li Ya and Zhang Buku bickering. Under the influence of demonic energy, the corners of his mouth turned up. He then turned around and disappeared from the spot.

He is the true master of the City of Gods and Strange Things. Staying in the City of Gods and Strange Things, he can see all the small worlds, as well as the divine souls and strange ghosts hidden beneath each of them.

The number of the strange and powerful spirits is indeed astonishing, and the entire city of the strange and powerful is still recovering. It will become even stronger in the future, until it is restored to a true immortal treasure.

Immortal treasures exist eternally and can recover on their own even if they are severely damaged. This is why Gu An views such treasures with special regard.

Gu An planned to harvest all the rare and precious materials in the Mystic City.

Now, everything in the city belongs to him; he can't let anyone else have it!

……

Beneath rolling thunderclouds, Jiang Qiong sat cross-legged on the edge of a cliff, below which flowed a magnificent river of lava, erupting with waves of heat that struck the mountains on either side.

She opened her eyes, her brows furrowed.

"Why aren't they back yet..." Jiang Qiong murmured to herself.

She entered the City of the Strange with the Ephemeral Flower Demon Mother. They arrived in this world two days ago. While she was recuperating, the Ephemeral Flower Demon Mother said she wanted to investigate. However, she has been gone for two days and has not returned yet.

She was a little worried.

Although she didn't consider the Ephemeral Flower Demon Mother a trustworthy person, after spending so much time together, she felt reassured by the Demon Mother's competence.

Could something have happened to the Ephemeral Flower Demon Mother?
Why is she so cautious? What or who is holding her back?

Jiang Qiong fell into thought. If the Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower really had an accident, then relying on herself alone, let alone obtaining the Immortal Spirit, it would be difficult to even escape.
