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

Chapter 259 Immortal King's True Blood
Upon hearing his master's instructions, Yang Jian calmed down and carefully sensed the surroundings. He did not stop walking and followed in the footsteps of the Blood Prison Great Sage.

Li Lingtian followed behind, secretly curious. He frequently turned around to look at the thunderclouds on the horizon, but he couldn't sense anything, which frustrated him.

Could it be that he is not even as good as Yang Jian in terms of comprehension?
The thunderclouds swept across the sky very quickly. Before Gu An and the others even arrived at Tianya Valley, the thunderclouds had already passed overhead, and a torrential downpour was about to begin.

Yang Jian looked up at Gu An and said, "Master, I sense an aura of destruction. All things in heaven and earth may be destroyed in an instant."

Li Lingtian's expression turned strange upon hearing these words.

Is it really that mysterious?
He suddenly felt that Gu An was not simple either, but unfathomable. Could it be that Gu An was hiding an even bigger secret?
Did Father and my elder brother take a liking to Senior Brother Gu because they know something?
Li Lingtian seemed to be deep in thought.

Gu An didn't mention the matter again, but instead patted the back of the Blood Prison Great Sage, urging him to charge forward.

"Let's see who gets to Tianya Valley first."

After Gu An uttered these words, the Blood Prison Great Sage leaped into the air, his hooves whistling through the wind, and with imposing grandeur, he swiftly rushed out of the forest.

Yang Jian and Li Lingtian quickly caught up.

Upon hearing about the competition, Li Lingtian got excited, only to discover with horror that he was indeed the slowest!

Yang Jian is one thing, but what about that rude ox-headed fellow? What's his background, and why is he so fast?

……

Inside Tianya Valley, Gu An dismounted from the back of the Blood Prison Great Sage and carried Yang Jian toward the pavilion complex.

Li Lingtian didn't follow; his gaze was fixed on the Blood Prison Great Sage, his eyes bloodshot.

The Great Sage of Blood Prison raised his bull head, glanced at him with disdain, and uttered two words that almost made him die of anger.

"waste!"

Li Ling was furious. He looked at the back of the Blood Prison Great Sage and wanted to curse back, but a thousand words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.

He suddenly began to question the meaning of life.

Is he really a good-for-nothing?

Yes, he is more powerful than many people. The disciples of Medicine Valley and the children of the royal palace cannot compare to him. But looking at the world, how big are those two places?
He then thought of Gu An's words: "There are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding."

Li Lingtian became increasingly dazed as he thought about it, and stood there dumbfounded.

Gu An brought Yang Jian with him this time because Li Xuandao wanted to meet Yang Jian.

He wasn't afraid of Li Xuandao's schemes. After so many years together, he still respected Li Xuandao's character. Moreover, Li Xuandao was a kindred spirit to him; people like them always believed they were the strongest.

Li Xuandao was immediately struck by Yang Jian's extraordinary appearance, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.

He asked Yang Jian all sorts of questions with great enthusiasm and concern, which Gu An felt was even more enthusiastic than when Yang Jian had been towards her.

When Li Lingtian was admitted to the hospital and saw this scene, he felt even worse.

After chatting for more than an hour, Li Xuandao decided to give Yang Jian a gift and asked him what he wanted.

Yang Jian subconsciously looked at Gu An, which surprised Li Xuandao.

What kind of spell did Gu An cast on Yang Jian?

He always thought that there was a master behind Gu An, and that the real person who taught Yang Jian was not Gu An, but just a front.

He wasn't without suspicion that Gu An was hiding his strength, but he knew Gu An inside and out. Gu An had known Li Ya since he was fifteen, and that couldn't be faked.

Knowing Li Xuandao's identity, Yang Jian said, "I want a suitable weapon, the heavier the better, but not too big."

Li Xuandao laughed and said, "You want to take Yang Jian for real?"

Yang Jian showed an embarrassed expression for the first time, but still nodded in agreement.

Li Xuandao readily agreed, claiming that he would provide him with a satisfactory weapon within three years at most.

In the end, Li Xuandao did not extend any invitation, nor did he even try to recruit Yang Jian.

Gu An had previously considered trying to recruit Yang Jian into the army, but he hadn't realized he was overthinking it.

When Gu An was about to leave, Li Xuandao told Li Lingtian to continue following him.

Gu An did not refuse. After all, there were many people in the Third Medicine Valley, so one more mouth to feed would be enough. Li Xuandao probably didn't expect him to give Li Lingtian any guidance anyway.

……

A line of cranes swept across the sky, and the sea breeze blew into the Immortal Seeking Island.

Gu An led Yang Jian down the street, with Hu Xiaojian guiding the way on Gu An's other side.

Today is the first time Gu An has brought Yang Jian to Seeking Immortals Island. Yang Jian looks around, finding everything new and exciting.

He was very curious about how far this island was from the Tai Xuan Sect.

Gu An asked Hu Xiaojian to introduce Xunxian Island to Yang Jian. Hu Xiaojian was very enthusiastic, which made Yang Jian feel very good about him.

The more Yang Jian learned about Seeking Immortals Island, the more alarmed he became.

Compared to Tai Xuan Sect, Xunxian Island is practically a land of immortals, with so many immortals frequently coming and going.

While introducing the Immortal Seeking Island, Hu Xiaojian led Gu An to purchase high-grade medicinal herb seeds. Two hours later, Gu An brought the two of them to the residence of True Person Tang Hai.

Having spent so many years together, Hu Xiaojian had become Gu An's man. During Gu An's absence, Master Tang Hai took good care of him, so Hu Xiaojian was also very familiar with the mansion.

Today, there are many immortal cultivators in the mansion, more than ten of them are rogue immortals, and as many as forty are at the Nirvana Realm.

These cultivators were all friends of True Person Tang Hai, and they had all met Gu An. Gu An was not only a rogue immortal, but his wealth was also astonishing. When it came to the trade of medicinal herbs on Seeking Immortals Island, Meng Lang's name would be mentioned. Many people speculated that he had a powerful force behind him, otherwise why would he need such a large quantity of medicinal herbs?

These great cultivators were very welcoming to Gu An's disciple, and they all offered him gifts.

Gu An had Yang Jian accept the gifts one by one. Usually, when these cultivators brought their disciples, Gu An was very generous; it was just a matter of returning the favor.

Soon, Gu An and the other two sat down at a separate table.

Hu Xiaojian said in a low voice, "The Great Rift in the Broken Sea has caused a disaster. It is said that a peerless demon is hiding inside. Countless cultivators have perished at the bottom of the sea, and its true identity has not yet been found out."

Gu An asked, "The major sects haven't made any moves?"

In fact, he could see the situation of the Great Crack in the Sea, and now many cultivators and monsters have gone there.

The Great Rift in the Sea is the name given to it at sea. Although it is a sign of an impending cataclysmic tidal wave, many people also believe that there are opportunities hidden beneath it. After all, the world has been submerged by the ocean countless times, and each time an era of cultivation civilization has sunk to the bottom of the sea.

“Yes, of course there are. It’s not just the Star Sea Cult, there are other major sects as well, but unfortunately there have been no results, and the number of deaths is increasing…” Hu Xiaojian continued.

Yang Jian sat to the side, listening attentively.

After chatting for a while, Hu Xiaojian brought up the turbulent events at sea.

Yang Jian was surprised to hear a familiar name from his mouth.

Anhao!

An Hao's fame skyrocketed after mastering the Fierce Yuanbao Body, leaving all who heard of him in awe of his incredible talent.

Yang Jian had heard that An Hao had gone to the Star Sea Sect to cultivate before when he was in the Tai Xuan Sect, but he did not expect that An Hao had such a great reputation at sea.

Because he was just a menial disciple in the Third Medicine Valley, he didn't know much about An Hao. He only knew that An Hao was the most talented person in the history of the Tai Xuan Sect and also the sect leader's disciple.

An Hao has always been a legendary figure to him.

I wonder what kind of person An Hao is?
Yang Jian suddenly wondered: Did his master know An Hao?
An Hao is so powerful; it's not like someone the Tai Xuan Sect could cultivate.

He knew about the Tai Xuan Sect; before the emergence of the Sword Master Fu Dao, not a single Xuanxin Realm cultivator could be found.

There are rumors that An Hao is a disciple of the Sword Master Fudao, but most of them are just speculation. There are many such rumors, and the cultivation world of the Three Dynasties is full of geniuses who are suspected to be the successors of the Sword Master.

If An Hao were indeed his senior brother whom he had never met, he would accept it, because An Hao was indeed the most dazzling genius he had ever heard of.

Master must love his senior brother dearly, right?

Yang Jian looked at Gu An and thought to himself.

He has now undergone a complete transformation, but he still harbors a deep sense of inferiority because he was not born a genius. His talent was created by his master who defied fate to give him this gift, so he is always afraid that everything he has now will vanish.

His mindset is very similar to that of Tian Yao'er.

Gu An noticed Yang Jian's gaze but ignored it.

After waiting for a while, Master Tanghai appeared. After greeting everyone, he began to explain the purpose of the invitation.

It concerns a massive rift in the sea!
These five words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the cultivators.

Master Tang Hai glanced around and said in a low voice, "I have received information that there is a world hidden at the bottom of the Great Rift of the Broken Sea. Although it is dangerous, there is the cave of an ancient immortal king. Someone in the Deep Sea Spirit Palace obtained the true blood of an immortal king, his physical body underwent a transformation, and he also comprehended supernatural powers. He relied on his supernatural powers to fight his way out of that world."

The cultivators were deeply moved.

No one knows exactly what realm a Celestial King is, but throughout history, the Celestial King has always been the pinnacle of the immortal path, and only the strongest person in each era is qualified to become a Celestial King.

How could they not be tempted by such an opportunity?
The higher one's cultivation level, the more opportunities one needs. Just like the scattered immortals present, they are high and mighty on Immortal Seeking Island, but they have no clue about higher realms. Let alone breaking through a major realm, even breaking through a minor realm depends on luck and opportunity.

"I'm going to venture out on my own. If any of you are willing, you can sign up. I will share information with you after we set off. This is an extremely dangerous mission, and I cannot guarantee your safety. Please think it over carefully and don't feel obligated to refuse just because of our friendship." Master Tang Hai spoke very sincerely.

Over the years, in addition to holding auctions, he has also organized such events from time to time. While not every event has been successful, at least no bad rumors have surfaced, indicating that he is indeed a good person.

The monks began to discuss among themselves.

Master Tang Hai did not invite Gu An separately, because he had personally invited everyone here. But once they were here, Gu An was not so important; to be precise, everyone was equally important.

In the end, Gu An did not sign up. A third of the people present signed up, but many more did not want to take the risk because of their long lifespans.

After the gathering ended, Gu An took Yang Jian back home.

Back in the Third Medicine Valley, Yang Jian still felt like he was dreaming.

This journey was so dreamlike, and it broadened his horizons. This world was so vast, and the Tai Xuan Sect was just a drop in the ocean.

Gu Anze began to inspect the medicine valley and pick the mature herbs.

It is unknown whether he will be able to accumulate a lifespan of 100 million years before the catastrophe strikes.

It seems that the Great Rift in the Sea is not enough to shake the Heavenly Spirit World, which harbors many terrifying forces.
