Chapter 61 The Secret of the Tai Xuan Sect, the Divide Between Righteous and Demonic Paths

After Li Ya left, Gu An secretly put Elder Chen's storage bag into the Eight Scenery Cave Heaven. That afternoon, he went to the Third Medicine Valley.

He wandered around, inspecting the park, but his brow was furrowed.

for a long time.

Old Tian finally took the bait.

He walked over and asked curiously, "Valley Master, why are you frowning the whole time?"

Gu An glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and remained silent.

Old Tian stepped forward and said, "Perhaps I can't help you, but talking about things makes the pressure less. I can give you advice from an outsider's perspective."

Upon hearing this, Gu An immediately sighed and recounted what had happened in the outer sect, mentioning that Li Ya, a first-level Core Formation cultivator, had been injured while protecting him.

The reason he singled out Li Ya was to make the former sect leader remember Li Ya's contributions.

Gu An always felt that Old Tian wouldn't really spend his whole life here peacefully, and might make a comeback one day.

After he finished speaking, Old Tian frowned.

Gu An couldn't help but complain: "The outer sect's Demon Extermination Hall catches demonic spies all day long, but after so many years, demonic cultivators still manage to infiltrate the Tai Xuan Sect. Is the Tai Xuan Sect really the number one sect? Even disciples within the Tai Xuan Sect can't guarantee their safety!"

“It’s alright if I get killed, but I’m worried about my disciples.”

At this point, he sighed again, looking very worried and frustrated.

Even he praised his own acting skills.

If acting skills could also be included in the attribute panel, it would have reached the pinnacle of perfection. Let's leave some room for improvement and strive for a return to simplicity.

Old Tian sighed and said, "It does sound troublesome, but this has always been the case in the cultivation world. No matter which sect it is, they don't care about menial disciples. To put it bluntly, they don't even treat menial disciples as disciples."

Gu An frowned; this time, he really frowned.

These words, coming from the former sect leader, were so jarring.

"However, I've heard that the new sect leader is benevolent and righteous, and is the popular choice of the elders. Perhaps he can change the current situation, and is at least better than the previous sect leader." Elder Tian continued, his expression unchanged, as if he wasn't the one being belittled, and it was impossible to tell whether he was being sarcastic or not.

Gu An didn't reply, but just sighed and continued to examine the herbs.

Old Tian didn't keep up with his pace, and he didn't mention it again, fearing that going too far would be counterproductive.

An hour later, Gu An returned to Xuan Valley.

For the time being, he plans to stay in Xuan Valley and return the same day if he goes anywhere else.

The disciples of Xuan Valley were puzzled as to why Gu An had been staying in Xuan Valley recently. It wasn't until Wu Xin and Tang Yu went to the outer sect that they learned that demonic cultivators had recently infiltrated the area. This made them nervous, but also touched.

Master has them in his heart!
Since the establishment of the Third Medicine Valley, the disciples felt distant from Gu An, but now they feel close to him again.

Wu Xin was under the most pressure, so he began to force his disciples to practice magic, striving to ensure that each of them had some ability to protect themselves.

He bought some powerful spells from the outer sect and had his disciples practice them.

It's difficult to kill the demonic cultivators, but if the battle is large enough, it might be possible to get support from the outer sect.

Gu An did not stop him. Perhaps this matter could enhance the cohesion of Xuan Valley and provide a good opportunity to train Wu Xin's leadership and organizational skills.

A few days later.

Ye Lan has arrived.

She came for the same reason as Li Ya: she was worried about Gu An.

Inside the attic, Ye Lan took out a sword from her storage bag, placed it on the table, and said, "Recently, there have been demonic cultivators appearing, and their cultivation is not low. This sword is called the Azure Phoenix Sword. You should carry it with you. Although it does not have great power, it is connected to the White Spirit Sword in my hand. If you encounter danger, I will sense it immediately and come to save you."

Gu An was both amused and exasperated, saying, "Junior Sister, your cultivation is only a few levels higher than mine, don't come here to get yourself killed!"

Giving away heads?
Ye Lan thought for a moment and immediately understood. She glared at Gu An and snorted, "Senior brother, if we really fight, I can subdue you in one move. Don't be fooled by how I act in front of you; other people have a completely different experience when facing me."

"It seems my junior sister is indeed formidable; I underestimated you."

Gu An smiled and then picked up the Qinghong Sword.

The scabbard was exquisite, carved with a wild goose spreading its wings above the clouds, which was very elegant. He drew his sword, and with a flash of light, a slender blade appeared before his eyes.

"It's really beautiful. I'll wear it on my waist from now on," Gu An said with a smile.

Ye Lan beamed with joy upon hearing these words.

Gu An discovered that although Ye Lan's appearance was not as stunning as Ji Xiaoyu or Li Xuanyu, she was quite pretty after looking at her for a while.

Ye Lan sat down next to him, smiling as she watched Gu An fiddling with the Qinghong Sword.

Gu An suddenly asked curiously, "If you encounter danger, can the Qinghong Sword sense the Bailing Sword?"

Ye Lan raised an eyebrow and said, "What, Senior Brother, you still want to protect me?"

"Hahaha, how could that be? You know your senior brother has never fought before. Going there would only cause you trouble."

"You know that's good, senior brother. Anyway, if I'm in danger, please don't come."

"Don't worry, I'm afraid of dying."

"Hehe, I'm afraid of dying too. I won't die. I have to survive. Without me, I'm afraid you'll be bullied, Senior Brother."

"Nonsense! Have I ever been bullied in all these years?"

"Then I wish you a lifetime of peace and safety, Senior Brother."

...Since Li Ya left, Xuan Valley has not encountered any further danger. When autumn arrived, Gu An calculated the time and found that a batch of herbs in the Third Medicine Valley should be ripe, so he returned to the Third Medicine Valley.

He stepped out of the teleportation platform and his gaze involuntarily fell upon his attic.

There are people inside!

Shen Zhen!

Gu An didn't go directly to Shen Zhen. Anyway, there were no secrets in that pavilion. The only secret was the Qingxia Travelogue, which she happened to like.

He walked into a park and began picking herbs. As he watched the prompts that kept popping up in front of him, a smile appeared on his face, and he felt extremely happy.

No matter how high a level he reaches, he will be happy to see his lifespan increase.

It's unknown how many realms his cultivation could reach with a lifespan of a million years.

He searched through all the books in the outer sect's library but found no record of ascension, and no one knew exactly how big this world was.

The larger the world, the higher the realm must be. The Tai Xuan Sect alone has a Grand Master of the Transcendent Realm. That true disciple who is traveling outside may have already surpassed the Transcendent Realm, but he still cannot be invincible in the world.

The path to immortality is long and arduous.

Gu An picked the fruit while lost in thought.

After he finished picking, he turned and walked towards the attic.

As they passed by Old Tian, ​​he said, "That Miss Shen has come to see you several times."

Gu An nodded slightly and continued forward.

Elder Tian hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have already told Elder Gu about what you mentioned, and it may improve the situation in the outer sect."

Upon hearing this, Gu An turned to look at him with a smile and said, "Elder Tian, ​​you see, everyone has their own use. You always say that you will be buried at any time, but you can still help thousands of disciples in the outer sect. Thank you."

Gu An raised his hand in greeting, then turned and left after speaking.

Old Tian seemed to be deep in thought, muttering to himself, "Everyone has their own use..."

the other side.

Gu An went upstairs, pushed open the door and entered. He saw Shen Zhen sitting at her desk, writing. She was still dressed in black, with a black veil over her face. Her long hair was tied up in a bun, and two strands of willow-like hair swayed on either side of her face. Her eyebrows and eyes gave people a gentle and beautiful feeling.

Shen Zhen didn't look up, as if she hadn't seen Gu An come in.

Gu An walked over, circled around to her side, wanting to see what she was writing.

At this point, she calmly stopped writing and put away the paper.

Gu An, who had already seen part of the content, had a strange expression and hesitated to speak.

Shen Zhen stood up, stuffed the collected papers into her sleeve, walked to the side, distancing herself from Gu An, and smiled, "I've looked for you several times, and you're never there. Is the outer sect's medicine valley worth your longing?"

Gu An said helplessly, "The outer sect is not safe lately, and I can't take all my disciples away, so I have to guard it. After all, my cultivation is higher than theirs."

He revealed this information in the hope that she would pass a message to his superiors.

The more people speak up, the more strength and hope there is.

"With your current achievements, let alone entering the inner sect, even going to the main city of the Tai Xuan Sect wouldn't be difficult. Why not just focus on writing your book? Why do you have to do these trivial things?" Shen Zhen asked curiously.

Gu An replied, "You are the Holy Maiden of the Dao Tian Sect, possessing resources that ordinary people cannot attain. Why do you not cultivate diligently, but instead indulge in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting?"

Shen Zhen remained silent.

Gu Anze began tidying up the desk.

After a while, Shen Zhen sighed, "As expected of the author of Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable, indeed, only you in this world can understand me. If you die, I will not only have no books to read, but also no kindred spirits."

"No, I can't let you die. I'll tell you a secret."

She raised her hand and waved her sleeve, closing the door. From her sleeve flew out talismans that were then pasted onto the doors and windows.

Gu An looked at her curiously. What secret could save his life?
“There are people within the Tai Xuan Sect who want to cultivate demonic arts in order to reach a higher level of cultivation and prepare for the future calamity of demons. However, whether this art will work is uncertain for the time being. Therefore, your outer sect city is just an experiment. This matter cannot be done openly, as it would damage the reputation of a prestigious sect. So they are using the pretext of capturing demonic cultivators to cover their tracks,” Shen Zhen said calmly, her eyes becoming more indifferent than ever before.

Gu An frowned and asked, "How did you know?"

Shen Zhen replied, "Because the Dao Tian Sect is also trying this, sacrificing some of its lower-level disciples in exchange for the sect's longevity, a feat that will benefit future generations."

Gu An felt extremely uncomfortable upon hearing this.

"What kind of demonic art requires sacrificing disciples?" Gu An pressed.

"In this life, cultivating immortality is said to be going against the heavens, but in fact, the higher the realm, the more one can feel the mandate of heaven. This demonic art is meant to make those great cultivators who can no longer break through break the mandate of heaven. In short, you should give up the medicine valley outside. Staying there will not do you any good. Because you are Pan An, they are afraid that you will write nonsense, so they dare not tell you. Don't say that I told you."

Shen Zhen's words silenced Gu An.

The distinction between good and evil becomes absurd at this moment.

Shen Zhen's eyes crinkled as she asked with a smile, "By the way, you just read my book. What did you think of the content?"

Upon hearing this, Gu An's expression turned strange again. He said seriously, "Actually, the Travels of Qingxia also has flaws. There are some things that don't need to be learned."

"Why can't we learn from it? It's the most authentic collision, the best reflection of people's true feelings."

Do you really have to write it?

"Ah."

"Could the main character not be named Gu An?"
