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

Chapter 263 is the Sword Master of Supporting the Dao!
As noon approached, Gu An arrived at Xuan Valley. Two days had passed since the Great Rift in the Broken Sea burst forth with waves, and this was the third day.

Gu An was about to pick herbs when he suddenly sensed something. He sighed softly and continued picking.

He could already sense a powerful force coming from afar!

Originally, Gu An didn't want to care about the survival of the two distant continents. If the waves wanted to submerge his continent, they would have to pass through the two continents, which were still very far apart.

However, a dangerous aura was now present in the waves, forcing him to change his strategy.

He cannot wait until the forces behind the catastrophe arrive near the continent before taking action; otherwise, unforeseen circumstances could easily arise.

The farther the calamity is from the Tai Xuan Sect, the more room he has to maneuver.

We can't start a war on the mainland; we'd have to consider the well-being of the people then.

As the catastrophe has progressed, the entire ocean has come to know of the existence of strange and vengeful spirits. The Great Rift in the Sea is not merely a calamity of heaven and earth; its depths may harbor a force that seeks to overthrow humanity. Whether Gu An intervenes or not, this will be a calamity that the entire ocean must face together.

As Gu An picked the fruit, he pondered how to make a move.

Lu Jiujia, the eldest disciple of Xuan Valley, approached and said softly, "Senior brother, I've heard there's a calamity at sea that could potentially affect our continent. What should Xuan Valley do?"

His words reveal the development of the Tai Xuan Sect over the years. The calamity at sea had only been going on for three days, yet various rumors were already circulating within the Tai Xuan Sect. In the past, let alone three days, disciples of the sect would never have known about it in their entire lives unless they landed on land.

"Naturally, fulfilling our duty, cultivating diligently, and providing more and better medicinal herbs is the greatest responsibility we can fulfill," Gu An said casually.

Lu Jiujia nodded. Actually, he just wanted to test his senior brother's attitude. After all, his senior brother had connections in the inner sect and knew more about the situation than they did.

Since his senior brother wasn't worried, he had even less reason to worry and could go and reassure the disciples in the valley.

After Lu Jiujia left, Gu An continued picking grass.

After one stick of incense.

Gu An arrived at the cliff on the east side of Xuan Valley, and the Blood Prison Great Sage followed.

"Master, what are you doing here?" Blood Prison Great Sage asked curiously, noticing Gu An playing with a leaf.

Gu An stood on the edge of the cliff, looking towards the horizon, and said, "Let's stop the calamity at sea."

Upon hearing this, the Blood Prison Great Sage widened his eyes, took a step forward, and asked, "How do we resolve this? Didn't you say the calamity was far away from us?"

Gu An held a leaf in his left hand and pressed down on the head of the Blood Prison Great Sage with his right. In an instant, the Blood Prison Great Sage's expression changed drastically. His bull eyes widened, and the scene of the raging waves was reflected in his pupils.

He saw the scene captured by Gu An's divine sense.

At this moment, before the massive waves, countless powerful cultivators were besieging a terrifying figure a thousand feet tall.

It was a humanoid monster, wearing only pants, bare-chested, with a dark complexion and covered in blood-red scars, as if its body might split open at any moment. It had disheveled hair, a ferocious face like a demon, and a mouthful of fangs. It held a bone knife in its hand, and its posture was domineering and arrogant.

All the spells and supernatural powers that fell upon him failed to shake his figure.

His roar drowned out the thunder in the sky, making the space between the sky and the sea seem like a purgatory.

The Great Sage of Blood Prison felt a chill run down his spine when he saw this thousand-foot-tall figure.

The other party's imposing presence intimidated him just by looking at them.

The spells and supernatural powers unleashed by those cultivators were incredibly vast, like the power of immortals and gods, capable of overturning the ocean, and their brilliance rivaling that of the sun and moon.

The stronger the cultivators, the more terrifying their thousand-foot-tall figures appeared.

Gu An raised his right hand, and Blood Prison Great Sage's vision returned instantly. He subconsciously looked at Gu An, wanting to see more, but then saw Gu An raise his left hand and wave it towards the horizon.

With a casual wave, the leaf in his hand flew like a sword, emitting a cold light, and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Gu An turned around.

Blood Prison Great Sage was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed Gu An's steps.

"Master, is this the end?"

"if not?"

"You're just going to throw away a single leaf?"

"What a fuss."

"No... this... what level are you at?"

Blood Prison Great Sage did not question whether Gu An could succeed; he was simply shocked.

How could a single leaf from such a great distance be enough to kill such a terrifying being that so many cultivators could not handle?

What level of cultivation must one reach to achieve this?

Gu An did not answer the Blood Prison Great Sage's question, which left the Blood Prison Great Sage lost in endless reverie.

at the same time.

On the distant ocean, the sky and earth were dark, lightning flashed and thunder roared, torrential rain poured down, and fierce winds raged in all directions.

Holding the Dragon-Slaying Spear, Chi Jiuxiao was surrounded by burning flames. Rainwater evaporated into smoke as soon as it approached. He gritted his teeth and looked at the terrifying figure in the distance, his eyes filled with struggle.

"Just who is that guy..." Chi Jiuxiao thought with shock and anger.

The many powerful cultivators fighting ahead have already displayed an aura that is far beyond his reach, and twelve of them even remind him of the Sword Venerable Fudao.

So many powerful cultivators gathered together, yet they couldn't even scratch the thousand-foot-tall figure.

How could he not be afraid?
Some cultivators had already fled in fear, and he was also hesitant about whether to retreat.

If the powerful cultivators ahead retreated, they would certainly be faster than him. In that case, whoever was the slowest to escape would die. But he also worried that others would choose to fight to the death. If he fled, how would he maintain his standing in the cultivation world?
Just then, Chi Jiuxiao vaguely heard a whooshing sound. Before he could even react, his vision suddenly brightened, and his pupils instinctively turned.

Time seemed to stand still, all things in heaven and earth stagnated, the cultivators casting spells were frozen in place, and the thousand-foot-tall figure that had been roaring and hissing remained still, maintaining its ferocious and terrifying posture.

The torrential rain hung in the air, each drop reflecting the glint of a sword.

The churning waves resembled clusters of white flowers, a scene of poignant beauty.

A sword light flashed across the almost still world, passing by cultivators and immortals, heading straight for the thousand-foot-tall figure.

The crimson eyes of the thousand-foot-tall figure reflected the light of the sword.

boom--

The head of the thousand-foot-tall figure was instantly blasted apart by the sword light, and the towering waves behind it were also dispersed, creating a huge gap that shocked all the cultivators.

As the sunlight streamed down, the thunderclouds in the sky were torn apart!

Looking closely, the sea of ​​thunderclouds ahead was divided in two, stretching all the way to the confluence of the sky and the sea, with no end in sight!
Everything happened too fast. Not only did Chi Jiuxiao not have time to react, but even the flying immortals were stunned in the air, still in the posture of casting spells.

Under their watchful eyes, the headless, thousand-foot-tall figure turned to ashes and scattered with the wind.

One by one, the immortals turned around and looked in the direction from which the sword light had come. Their expressions were astonished, but fortunately, they were not panicked.

Based on the speed of that sword light just now, if the person who attacked wanted to kill them, their defenses would be useless.

"Who did it?"

"Such speed, such domineering sword intent!"

"Could it be someone at the ninth level of the Celestial Immortal Realm?"

"Even someone with a ninth-level cultivation level would find it difficult to display such domineering power."

"Which major power's territory is in that direction?"

The immortals communicated using their divine senses, while the other cultivators, after a brief silence, erupted in thunderous cheers.

Chi Jiuxiao watched as the unstoppable giant wave transformed into a broken bridge, with both ends collapsing continuously. His expression was incredibly complex.

It is the Sword Master of the Dao!
Absolutely right!

He had not only felt the sword intent on the Heaven-Mending Platform, but had also been saved by the Sword Venerable Fudao, and the direction behind him was exactly the direction of the Tai Xuan Sect.

But how far away is this place from the Tai Xuan Sect?
Could it be that the Sword Master Fudao has already arrived nearby?

For some reason, Chi Jiuxiao suddenly had an absurd idea.

The Sword Master Fudao may not have even stepped out of the Taixuan Sect, otherwise why would he use long-range killing methods?
At this moment, someone shouted, "It's Sword Master Fudao! That direction is the direction of Taixuan Sect. I also went to Taixuan Sect a few years ago and felt Sword Master Fudao's sword intent!"

The four words "Sword Master of the Way" moved all the cultivators.

After the Seven Star Spirit Realm was shattered, the Sword Venerable Fudao became famous throughout the ocean. Although he was not so famous that everyone knew him, the cultivators who came to his aid were all of high cultivation level and knew more or less about the truth behind the disintegration of the Seven Star Spirit Realm.

If it were the Sword Master Fudao, then they could understand.

After understanding, there was shock and excitement.

Is the Sword Master Fudao really that powerful?
A celestial being descended from heaven and earth raised his hand, and a leaf landed in his palm. He looked at the leaf in his hand with a complicated expression.

The other immortals also turned their gazes in that direction, sensing the lingering sword intent emanating from the leaves.

Before they could speak, the leaf suddenly vanished into thin air, as if it had never existed.

……

Gu An returned to the Third Medicine Valley with the Blood Prison Great Sage. He wandered around, but the Blood Prison Great Sage's gaze followed him, his eyes filled with complex emotions. The turmoil in Gu An's heart remained unsettled for a long time.

Gu An walked along, puzzled.

It didn't steal my lifespan!

Does slaying supernatural and vengeful spirits not have a lifespan?

The so-called immortality and indestructibility, in essence, means having no lifespan.

Although Gu An felt regretful, he had at least prevented a disaster.

However, he had a premonition that this was just the beginning, and that an even greater calamity would erupt within the Great Rift of the Broken Sea. What kind of being would emerge next?
At this moment, You Yingying suddenly came up to him and said, "Gu An, I'm going back to the Star Sea Sect."

Gu An asked, "Why?"

“A great calamity is coming, it’s definitely safer to go back to the Star Sea Sect. I think you’re quite pleasing to the eye, are you coming with me? We can’t bring anyone else.” You Yingying said, staring at him.

Gu An shook his head and said, "I won't go. My cultivation is too low, and I am not suitable to survive in the Star Sea Sect. If the Tai Xuan Sect is to perish tomorrow, I am willing to disappear with the Tai Xuan Sect."

The Great Sage of Blood Prison in the distance couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The owner is lying to the idiot again!

You Yingying opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing. She patted Gu An on the shoulder and turned back to pack her things.

Gu An didn't intend to stop her. It was a good thing for You Yingying to return to the Xinghai Sect as soon as possible, so as to avoid causing him trouble.

There is a strange cause and effect within You Yingying's body that suppresses her aptitude and lifespan. Gu An cannot see through this cause and effect for the time being, so he does not want to get too entangled with her.

If the relationship deepens, and she can't get over her emotional hurdles, then I'll have to help her, which is too much trouble!
