Chapter 156: Breaking the Void, Engagement
Zuo Lin's words made Di Xie's expression suddenly become unnatural, but Zuo Lin's next sentence made him laugh and cry:
"You must be a genius. I have never made a mistake in judging people's qualifications and luck."
Zuo Lin looked proud. He raised his chin and motioned Di Xie to look at Gu An, saying: "Don't look at this kid who is only at the foundation-building stage. He is not simple. Facts have proved that my vision is indeed good. He is now a genius on the gold list."
Gu An came over and said helplessly: "What kind of genius am I? I am just lucky to be on the gold list."
Zuo Lin pulled Gu An to sit down, and then asked Di Xie and Gu An to introduce themselves to each other.
Di Xie acted very calmly and had a very good attitude towards Gu An. He did not have the airs of a guest elder at all.
Zuo Lin was very interested in Di Xie. Hearing that Di Xie wanted to know about Fu Dao Jian Zun, he did not hide it and began to tell about Fu Dao Jian Zun's deeds.
Di Xie listened very seriously.
Before coming, he had heard that the top cultivator of the Nine Dynasties was either the Taoist Changsheng of Sanqing Mountain or the Sword Master of Fudao of Taixuan Sect.
Among them, the Sword Master of Fudao was the most mysterious. Although the Sword Master of Fudao had helped Taixuan Sect many times, no one knew his true identity.
Gu An felt very interesting when listening to Zuo Lin bragging about his other identity.
At the same time, he was also observing Emperor Xie.
In the next half hour, Gu An did not feel any malice from Emperor Xie, so he could only suppress his suspicion for the time being.
The great catastrophe of demons was imminent, and a great demon in the Xuanxin realm sneaked into Taixuan Sect, and he didn't know what it was for.
Gu An was afraid that Emperor Xie would suspect him, so he looked for a chance to slip away.
There was a long time to come, and he could slowly observe Emperor Xie, because Emperor Xie was going to comprehend the sword intent of the Sword Master of Fudao at the Bu Tian Terrace.
In the days to come, Gu An would use his spiritual sense to observe Emperor Xie every day.
The more he looked, the more he felt that Emperor Xie might really have no malice, he just wanted to learn swordsmanship simply.
Before, Emperor Xie used his divine sense to scan the surroundings, probably looking for Fudao Jianzun.
…
Spring went and autumn came, and two years passed.
In the past two years, Gu An's lifespan has increased rapidly. Suxing Cave Heaven has provided him with a lot of lifespan. His lifespan has exceeded 6.5 million, and he is getting closer and closer to the 10 million mark.
On this day, Gu An came to the outer gate library and launched a new book "Broken Void" in the name of Pan An.
Elder Liu Chang, who was responsible for receiving Pan An, has passed away. Gu An was received by the great elder of the library, Feng Shang.
Feng Shang was very excited to receive Pan An for the first time. He pulled Gu An and said many compliments, and guaranteed that he would do a good job of the follow-up affairs of this book.
Gu An stayed in the library for a full hour before he got away.
Feng Shang was really too enthusiastic!
In Feng Shang's eyes, Gu An was a great opportunity. As long as he arranged Pan An's new book, he would be able to rise to the top in the future!
After leaving the library, Gu An wandered around the city. As the Taixuan Sect became stronger year by year, this outer city became very lively. Every street was crowded, and there were even stalls on the streets selling all kinds of strange things. In the past year, Gu An loved to go shopping in the city when he had nothing to do.
As he walked, Gu An saw an acquaintance.
"Du Ye."
Gu An stepped forward to greet him. They were both servants of the Ji family and had joined the Taixuan Sect together. Although the two were not close, they would chat if they ran into each other in the outer gate.
Du Ye was playing with a small gourd in front of a stall. When he heard Gu An's voice, he put down the small gourd, stood up, and looked at Gu An.
When Gu An came to him, he smiled and asked, "You are here to pick up treasures too?"
Gu An smiled and said, "How can there be so many treasures to pick up? I just come to stroll around and see the excitement. How are you these days?"
The 92-year-old Du Ye looks like he is in his early 40s. When he was young, he did not take the anti-aging pills, and he does not look as young as Gu An.
In the world of immortal cultivation, not all cultivators pursue young appearances. Some people think that maturity is more imposing.
"Oh, don't mention it. I failed to break through to the foundation-building realm some time ago, and I wasted a foundation-building pill." Du Ye said depressedly.
He is the real bottom of the immortal cultivation world, with mediocre qualifications. In order to obtain immortal cultivation resources, he has to run errands for the children of the noble families.
Gu An comforted him, and then took out a medicine bottle with two foundation-building pills in it.
"This..." Du Ye held the medicine bottle and hesitated. He did not want to accept Gu An's charity, but he was reluctant to refuse.
For a low-level cultivator like him, the foundation-building realm is the goal of his life.
Gu An smiled and said, "You're welcome. After all, we grew up together. I want you to live a few more decades. When we get old, we can talk about the past and reminisce about our youth."
Du Ye felt warm when he heard this. He recalled that he had told Gu An that if he encountered any trouble, he could find him. If he could help, he would never refuse.
For most of his life, Gu An never asked him for help. Instead, he began to accept Gu An's favor.
Du Ye gently patted Gu An's shoulder and stopped refusing. He put the medicine bottle into the storage bag.
"By the way, I heard something not long ago. Our third lady has been engaged." Du Ye seemed to remember something and whispered.
Gu An was stunned when he heard this and asked curiously, "Engaged? With whom?"
When he heard that Ji Xiaoyu was engaged, his heart was filled with ripples.
Perhaps it was because Ji Xiaoyu had saved him when he was a child.
After growing up, Ji Xiaoyu treated him very kindly, not like treating a servant. He also gave him a lot of things to help him practice.
Even a girl of heaven's arrogance like her couldn't escape an arranged marriage?
Thinking of this, Gu An felt quite emotional.
Du Ye shook his head and said: "I don't know, but it seems that the marriage has just been decided, and the date of the marriage has not yet been determined. I think the young master and the others are very happy, and I guess the other party has a lot of background."
"That's inevitable. Being able to marry the Ji family is beyond my imagination." Gu An said with a smile.
The two chatted for a few more words, and then Gu An said goodbye to Du Ye.
He did not return to Medicine Valley, but continued to wander around the city.
…
The library moved very quickly. In less than a month, the book Shattered Void appeared in the library in each city.
Relying on the reputation accumulated by Fengshen Yanyi and Taixuan Xianzun, Pan An's new book set off a whirlwind as soon as it appeared, sweeping across Taixuan Sect.
One month later, the name of Shattered Void spread throughout the Taicang Immortal Realm and spread to the other eight dynasties.
Lu Lingjun also bought this book, and after reading it, she immediately found Gu An.
"The writing is quite good. The male protagonist carries a big monster in his body, leading him with mediocre qualifications to embark on the path of cultivating immortality, but..." Lu Lingjun said with a frown.
Gu An asked: "Just what?"
"Why is it called Shattered Void?"
She stared at Gu An closely, as if she wanted to see through him.
Gu Anhu asked: "Didn't you say that in your hometown, ascension is your pursuit? Isn't Shattered Void attractive?"
When Lu Lingjun heard this, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "It is indeed very attractive, so you should write it carefully."
She laughed at herself, how could this kid guess that she was an ascended person?
Afterwards, the two started chatting about the book Shattered Void. Lu Lingjun made many requests, but Gu An refused to comply. However, when she brought out a bunch of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, he changed his tune and said that he could consider it.
Lu Lingjun was amused by his greed.
After Lu Lingjun left, he took out Taoist Master Xunchun and started to read through it.
Shattered Void was written only on commission. The truly worthy classic must be Taoist Master Xunchun!
As Pan An published the book, the handyman disciples in Xuan Valley and the Third Medicine Valley also began to discuss the book. Pan An's name was more influential than Gu An imagined.
Half a month later.
When Gu An returned to the Third Medicine Valley, he felt Lu Baitian's aura.
Counting the days, we haven’t seen each other for more than ten years.
Gu An came to the attic to meet Lu Baitian, who had been waiting for a long time. He closed the door, then came behind Lu Baitian and raised his hand to salute.
Lu Baitian looked the same as he had many years ago, and he motioned for Gu An to sit down.
After Gu An sat down, Lu Baitian asked: "Why did you think of publishing a book recently?"
"Did you read it on a whim?" Gu An replied.
"After seeing it, it's better to become a god."
"That's true."
Gu An said sincerely that he thought so too.
Lu Baitian changed his tone and asked: "Su Han is your disciple?"
When Gu An heard this, he pretended to be nervous and asked: "It used to be, what happened to him?"
Lu Baitian stared at Gu An and said, "He also practiced the magical power of defying fate."
"What?" Gu An was moved.
He quickly explained: "I didn't pass it on to him. I haven't met him at all in these years."
Ever since Lu Baitian passed the fate-defying magic skill to Gu An, he hasn't practiced it much because he couldn't give up the skill and start over again.
Lu Baitian hummed, "Of course I know it wasn't you who passed it on. In fact, I didn't create the fate-defying magical skill. I also had to pass it on."
"I can tell you directly that the fate-defying magic technique comes from the Epiphyllum Sect. Now Su Han has also learned the fate-defying magic technique, which shows that the remnants of the Epiphyllum Sect have not been completely eradicated."
Gu An's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
In his mind, he thought about the Nine Nether Thirteen Li and the Epiphyllum Demon Mother. Could it be that they had found Su Han?
"Master, you..." Gu An looked at Lu Baitian, not knowing what to say, with various emotions showing on his face.
He wanted to say that I actually had an identity related to the Epiphyllum Sect.
I am the leader of Epiphyllum Cult!
Lu Baitian smiled and said: "Don't worry, I am only related to the Epiphyllum Sect, not really from the Epiphyllum Sect. When I was young, I made a Taoist companion. She was from the Epiphyllum Sect. Before she died, she would rebel against her fate. The magical skill was taught to me, and it is this skill that allowed me to achieve what I have achieved today.”
"Don't tell anyone about this past incident. Once it is revealed, I will definitely not be able to keep my position as the leader of the sect. Since the Supreme Elders came back, my position has become more and more unstable."
At the end, he laughed to himself.
Gu An immediately said: "Of course I won't tell anyone, as long as you don't harm the interests of Taixuan Sect."
Lu Baitian glared at him, pretending to be angry, but feeling happy in his heart.
As expected of the sect leader I recognized!
Lu Baitian followed and said: "Su Han has learned the Divine Sword of Hatred and inherited the Divine Art of Defying Fate. He will grow very quickly. Are you close to him? If you are close, then you have to be careful, Su Han There is obviously an expert behind this, and I'm afraid that the people behind him will come to persecute you and make Su Han hate this world even more."
Third update!
