Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses - Chapter 86
Chapter 86: Chapter 86 Elder Tian’s Resolve, Demons Overwhelming the Sky
When Xu Lian Demon Lord spoke, his thoughts had already floated inside the Supreme Sect. This great war concerned the millennium Qi fortune of the Wanyin Sect, even its rise and fall.
He could not wait to join the battle!
However, before he could finish his sentence, he instinctively sensed the terrifying aura of danger and glanced sideways.
Everything happened too quickly!
Even he, a Great Cultivator with a Void Crossing Realm Fourth Layer cultivation level, had no time to react.
In his eyes, a semi-transparent airflow was killing its way forward at an inconceivable speed, passing through the mountains and causing the heavens and the earth to appear distorted.
His disciple standing in front of him was still looking at him, and all disciples who were building the array platform stopped, everything fell into stillness, only the aura of death approached rapidly.
Boom!
A mass of airflow tore through the sky and struck the plain between the mountains. Xu Lian Demon Lord and a group of demon cultivators were directly pulverized into flying ash. A strong light burst forth, engulfing the surrounding mountains and devouring everything in its path.
Above Mystic Valley.
Yang Ni, Li Ya, Bai Wu, and others who were fighting were startled, all pulling back and turning around to see. An impressive brilliance appeared on the horizon, and they felt a horrifying pressure coming, their faces changing dramatically.
Li Ya hurriedly flew toward the forest below, quickly finding Gu An.
Gu An was hiding behind a tree, pretending to shiver. Seeing him safe, Li Ya sighed in relief and was about to speak when a terrible gale blew from the distance, pushing the trees backward and causing the peaks to tremble violently.
Li Ya hurried to Gu An’s side, shielding with his spiritual power.
“What’s happening…”
Gu An asked through gritted teeth, his tone full of fear.
Li Ya’s expression was grave, he said quietly, “Not sure, probably a Great Cultivator fighting.”
At this time, a series of prompts popped up before Gu An’s eyes:
[You have successfully seized 47 years of Xu Lian Demon Lord (Void Crossing Realm Fourth Layer) lifespan]
[You have successfully seized 35 years of Zhang Zhongchong (Core Formation Realm Second Layer) lifespan]
[You have successfully seized 42 years of Chen Duyuan (Core Formation Realm Sixth Layer) lifespan]
…
Altogether twenty-six people, the lowest cultivation was also in the Core Formation Realm, including two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
Sin!
Gu An secretly repented not because he wanted to go on a killing spree but because this group approached his Medicine Valley.
The gale pressed on, lasting for a long time.
After the storm calmed, Li Ya stood up straight. He whispered, “It seems we can only hide in Medicine Valley for now, there’s danger everywhere.”
“I told you.”
“First, follow me into the valley!”
Li Ya pulled Gu An and walked into Mystic Valley.
Just as they entered the valley, Yang Ni descended from the sky, carrying a bloody head and Bai Wu’s Nascent Soul hanging on her sword blade.
At this moment, she was full of killing intent, making the disciples in the valley dare not approach.
Yang Ni threw Bai Wu’s head in front of Wuxin, then shook her sword, shattering Bai Wu’s Nascent Soul. She raised her sword toward Wuxin, coldly asking, “Do you have any last words?”
Wuxin turned pale, trembling all over.
“Stop!”
Gu An quickly rushed over to stand in front of Wuxin.
Yang Ni’s eyes were cold. She said, “He is from the Thousand-Autumn Pavilion.”
“But he’s been with us for decades and has never harmed us. He probably has no choice! Once this is over, I’ll make him leave the Supreme Sect!”
Gu An said through gritted teeth, determined. His words made Yang Ni frown.
Wuxin was very moved. He dared not look at the other disciples, wishing he could find a hole to hide in at that moment.
Yang Ni took a step forward, her sword tip almost reaching Gu An’s throat.
Gu An glanced at Li Ya, shouting, “Senior Brother Li, say something!”
Li Ya frowned and walked over, pushing Yang Ni’s sword away, saying, “Let’s give him that. Clearly, those demon cultivators had a grudge against Wuxin.”
“Hmph!”
Yang Ni sheathed her sword and turned away.
Gu An turned to Wuxin and said, “Sorry, senior brother, we won’t be able to keep you here in the future. Returning to the Thousand-Autumn Pavilion will surely bring you torment. Find a place to hide and live under a different name. As long as you have goodness in your heart, no matter where you come from, you can be a good person.”
His sincere words made Wuxin tear up. He knelt with a thud, kowtowing to him.
Li Ya’s frown relaxed, sighing slightly.
Yang Ni glanced at Gu An, her eyes showing surprise.
Listening to Gu An’s words, it was evident that he had long known Wuxin’s identity. And Wuxin seemed unwilling to be a cultivator of the Thousand-Autumn Pavilion…
Gu An pulled Wuxin up and had him hide inside the house to avoid being recognized by other disciples from the Thousand-Autumn Pavilion.
Li Ya looked at Yang Ni and transmitted a message, “Why are you here?”
“Do you need to ask?”
“Tell him, I don’t want to fight for the throne.”
“But he said he owed your mother and had to pass the throne to you.”
“The Crown Prince is virtuous, talented, and has a three-spirit root qualification. He is the ideal Crown Prince.”
“It’s useless to tell me this.”
The two communicated through voice transmission. Yang Ni kept her eyes fixed on Gu An, her thoughts unknown.
Li Ya reminded through voice transmission, “Do not harm my junior brother, or I won’t recognize anyone!”
Yang Ni ignored him.
After Bai Wu’s attack, Mystic Valley fell silent. The disciples gathered in the courtyard, murmuring, all discussing Wuxin’s identity.
The calamity of the Supreme Sect continued, more battles erupted, and the pressure of battle increased.
Gu An kept an eye on the Qinghong Sword at his waist. Fortunately, it did not show any signs of encountering danger like the White Spirit Sword would.
An ancient hour later, no more demon cultivators came to Mystic Valley. Gu An could not remain still any longer.
He found Li Ya and told him he was going to another Medicine Valley, leaving Li Ya and Yang Ni to guard Mystic Valley.
Li Ya knew that the Medicine Valley was in the Inner Sect, certainly safer than Mystic Valley, so he nodded in agreement.
This time, Yang Ni did not cling to Gu An. In her mind, Li Ya was naturally more important.
Before leaving, Gu An left an Ancient Gold-Swallowing Insect inside the house.
He had established a soul connection with every Ancient Gold-Swallowing Insect and could get updates on Mystic Valley through the insect at any time.
After stepping onto the Transmission Array Platform, Gu An quickly arrived at the Third Medicine Valley.
As soon as he arrived, he heard deafening roars from all directions. He opened his eyes to see dark clouds rolling in the sky. Although it was winter, the air was filled with summer heat.
Seeing him arrive, Xiaochuan immediately came up, forcibly suppressing his panic, and asked, “Senior Brother, what should we do?”
Gu An noticed Elder Tian was still there, so he did not panic. He immediately cast a Life Span Detection while answering, “Don’t panic, trust our Sect!”
[Lv Baitian (Nascent Soul Realm Nine Layers): 754/1560/3200]
Goodness, that realm rose quickly!
It was stable!
Gu An thought to himself, curious about where Elder Tian’s absorbed spiritual energy came from.
He told Xiaochuan to stay nearby and not run around, then he walked away, intending to patrol the Medicine Valley.
Passing by Elder Tian, he sensed a hidden and strong spiritual energy flow within Elder Tian’s body, which shocked him.
Elder Tian was not absorbing nature’s spiritual energy. Was his spiritual power born out of nothing within his body?
This feeling…
It was as if Elder Tian had a portal to an Exotic World inside his body, spiritual power endlessly pouring out from it. Very strange.
What cultivation technique was this guy practicing?
“Valley Master, battles are happening everywhere, don’t run around.” Elder Tian’s voice came.
He turned his head to see Elder Tian sitting cross-legged under a tree, eyes closed. His posture was completely different from usual, his body straight, exuding an indescribable air of power.
“I’ll go check on those medicinal herbs, won’t run around.”
Gu An left in haste, tossing these words behind.
Elder Tian opened his eyes, watching his back, showing a look of gratification.
“With such disciples, how could I bear to see the Supreme Sect fall.”
Elder Tian murmured, Gu An, who had run a hundred feet away, heard it.
Gu An kept his face expressionless as if he hadn’t heard it.
He genuinely cared about those medicinal herbs!
The fifty Foundation Establishment Realm disciples guarding Medicine Valley were all in battle, including Ji Xiaoyu and Gu Yu, each fighting multiple enemies with a dire situation.
Along the way, Gu An quickly checked the medicinal herbs. He picked any that were about to mature to prevent them from being damaged in the battle, a real loss if that happened.
While advancing, Gu An heard a cry. Looking up, he saw fiery Qilins appearing on the horizon, with a figure hidden in the leading Qilin.
It was Ji Xiaoyu.
Qilin Step!
She took a step, her figure like a ghost, the fiery Qilin collided with a demon cultivator in the Core Formation Realm, smashing him to pieces, and the Golden Core melted, displaying overwhelming power.
Gu An felt her aura and speed were on par with low-level Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
Ji Xiaoyu seemed to sense his gaze and glanced back during the battle.
She practiced Qilin Step, casting spells with her sword, unmatched by anyone.
Gradually, more demon cultivators swarmed toward her, with various spells attacking her from all directions, grandly.
Ji Xiaoyu’s eyes sharpened, and a powerful wave burst from her body, blasting away the surrounding demon cultivators by miles. Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators exploded on the spot.
She raised the treasure sword in her right hand and thrust it skyward, spiritual power surged up the blade and shot into the sky, forming a golden disc ten miles in diameter, containing profound and mysterious runes.
Gu An’s keen eyes easily recognized that the wave Ji Xiaoyu had just released was a Divine Skill, Heaven and Earth Path Gang!
Previously, Jiang Qiong had stolen the Divine Power Collection containing Heaven and Earth Path Gang from the Ji Family’s birthday banquet, which Gu An often contemplated.
As for the Divine Skill after Heaven and Earth Path Gang, he hadn’t seen it but could sense a power beyond Core Formation Realm.
This lady’s talent and comprehension were truly terrifying!
To master two Divine Skills at the Core Formation Realm!
Golden dragon shadows burst forth from the golden phenomenon, like a dragon herd coming from other worlds, rushing toward demon cultivators everywhere, scaring them into panicked evasion.
Some cast spells to resist, but their spiritual power was shredded by the golden dragons, then they were hit and swallowed into the dragon’s mouths.
As they were mere shadows, Gu An could see the demon cultivators swallowed, burned alive by mysterious golden flames until nothing remained.
After moving forward ten miles, Gu An found no demon cultivators within five miles of Ji Xiaoyu.
In one breath, she had killed over a hundred Core Formation Realm cultivators and more than three hundred Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators!
That was just what Gu An saw—she had fought for a long time before he arrived.
Ji Xiaoyu hovered in midair, holding her sword, breathing slightly, with sweat beading on her snow-white forehead.
She suddenly turned around, her brows furrowed.
Following her gaze, countless monsters and evil ghosts like a black ocean approached from the horizon, densely packed, impossible to count.
In front of the monster army was a black-robed man standing on a bone sword, holding a large black flag.
“Ji Family’s Qilin Step, Heaven and Earth Path Gang, and Heavenly Dragon Demon-Suppressing Form. At such a young age you have mastered so many powerful techniques; if you grow further, you will dominate the world single-handedly!”
The black-robed man’s icy voice rang out, followed by a terrifying pressure enveloping all the world.
