Chapter 173: It's a Shame We Met Too Late, Journey to the West

Gu Yu's arrival broke the chess game between Gu An and Lu Lingjun. Lu Lingjun was also interested in Xuan Tianyi, so he asked Gu Yu a few questions.

After chatting for a while, Gu Yu left.

Gu An saw that Lu Lingjun's mind was floating, so he knew that she was thinking about Xuan Tianyi.

He stood up and turned to leave.

Lu Lingjun suddenly said: "After the New Year, you should also go to listen to the teachings. This is a rare opportunity. It is rare to see a Mahayana cultivator."

Gu An looked back at her and saw that her face was full of yearning. He chuckled and said nothing more.

The influence of the Mahayana preaching is very great. In the following winter, more and more disciples returned, and there were also cultivators from other sects coming.

Xuan Tianyi's name spread throughout the world of immortal cultivation, and his deeds of immortal cultivation were revealed and widely circulated.

The strongest genius of Taixuan Sect since ancient times, he formed a pill at the age of 20, formed a Yuanying at the age of 42, became a spirit at the age of 70, entered the Duxu at the age of 100, and entered the Fusion at the age of 200!

Because of his extraordinary talent, Taixuan Sect hid his real age before he merged. After he reached the ninth level of the fusion realm, he went south directly to seek immortal fate, which also led to Taixuan Sect not daring to mention his talent, fearing that it would cause a disaster.

He spent three hundred years overseas looking for immortals, and returned to the Mahayana realm!

With Taixuan Sect's publicity of Xuan Tianyi's legendary life, Xuan Tianyi became famous in the world in a short period of time, overshadowing the nine cultivators in the world.

Most of the immortal cultivators found it incredible when they heard about his deeds, and even thought that Taixuan Sect was exaggerating.

When Gu An heard about Xuan Tianyi's deeds in the outer gate city, he also felt it was exaggerated.

But think about it, it makes sense. No wonder some people in the sect said that as long as the true disciple wanted the position of the sect master, Lv Baitian would have to give up within a day.

In front of such a talent, no matter how great Lv Baitian's contribution was, he had to give in.

Although Xuan Tianyi's growth trajectory subverted the cognition of ordinary cultivators, his return did boost the morale of Taixuan Sect. Before the Spring Festival, the outer gate city already had a festive atmosphere.

In the vast winter snow, Gu An came from Xuan Valley to the Third Medicine Valley.

As soon as he arrived, he felt two auras, one of which was a Mahayana cultivator.

Xuan Tianyi is here!

Gu An's face was calm and he walked towards his attic.

After going upstairs and opening the door, he saw two people in the room, one was the deputy sect master Ji Hantian, and the other was a man in blue.

Xuan Tianyi was dressed in blue and looked young. People could not associate him with a Mahayana cultivator, but more like a young disciple.

"Gu An, you are finally here, close the door, sit down and chat." Ji Hantian smiled, as if he was the owner of this attic.

Gu An didn't mind, closed the door and came to the two of them to salute.

Without waiting for Ji Hantian to introduce, Xuan Tianyi asked first: "Are you Pan An?"

[Xuan Tianyi (Sixth level of Mahayana): 598/4800/5000]

Looking at Xuan Tianyi's lifespan, Gu An was secretly surprised.

Five thousand years of maximum lifespan cultivated so fast?

According to this, Xuan Tianyi must be able to achieve Nirvana within 4,500 years, and then break the destiny, and it will be another maximum lifespan.

According to Gu An's experience, Xuan Tianyi's spiritual root qualification should be at the level of five thousand years of maximum lifespan. At least his physical qualification is not as good as Ji Xiaoyu and An Hao, but his comprehension must be amazing, coupled with extraordinary opportunities, he has achieved what he is now.

Gu An pretended to hesitate and looked at Ji Hantian.

Ji Hantian smiled and said: "Tell the truth, this is Xuan Tianyi, the eldest disciple of our sect. He is not an outsider. He is the most proud disciple of our Taixuan Sect."

Xuan Tianyi ignored his compliment, but looked at Gu An curiously, his eyes bright.

Gu An immediately replied, "I do have a pen name called Pan An."

When Xuan Tianyi heard this, he smiled and said, "Your Investiture of the Gods is very good. Someone sent it to me before. I like it very much. I even mass-produced it and spread it overseas. Your book has been widely circulated on the ocean and is much more popular than my book."

"Thank you for your appreciation, senior. I wonder what book you wrote?" Gu An bowed and thanked him, and asked at the same time.

Xuan Tianyi coughed and said, "My book is just written casually, and it can't compare to Investiture of the Gods."

"It's better not to mention his book." Ji Hantian shook his head and laughed.

This made Gu An even more curious about what book Xuan Tianyi wrote.

However, Xuan Tianyi was unwilling to say it, but instead pulled Gu An to talk about Investiture of the Gods.

Faced with his questions, Gu An could only answer one by one. Ji Hantian stopped interrupting and got up and left. He even closed the door after leaving.

Xuan Tianyi didn't have the airs of a Mahayana cultivator. When he mentioned some of the plots in The Investiture of the Gods, he was indignant, especially the story of Nezha cutting bones to return to his father and cutting flesh to return to his mother.

Gu An couldn't remember the Investiture of the Gods word for word, so he expanded a lot of stories in the book, such as Nezha cutting bones to return to his parents, Yang Jian saving his mother in Taoshan, etc., to make the characters more three-dimensional, which is why The Investiture of the Gods is so popular.

Xuan Tianyi was very curious about how Gu An wrote such a strange book.

Gu An replied that he met an immortal in his dream and touched his head, and he suddenly became enlightened.

The reason why it was suddenly was that he never wrote a masterpiece like The Investiture of the Gods again.

"Although your Taixuan Immortal Venerable and Shattering the Void are also good, I still feel that they are not as good as The Investiture of the Gods." Xuan Tianyi said with lingering feelings.

Gu An did not refute, but asked what book he wrote.

Xuan Tianyi suddenly became embarrassed and hesitated.

Gu An seized the opportunity and kept asking questions, and finally Xuan Tianyi revealed the title of the book.

"What? Did you write Qing Xia's Travel Notes?" Gu An stood up and slapped the table, saying excitedly.

I don't know if it was Xuan Tianyi's illusion. For a moment, he felt inexplicably flustered. He didn't know if he was scared by Gu An or if he had something hidden in his heart.

He nodded bravely.

Gu An raised his hand and took out a book of Qing Xia's travel notes from his storage bag. Xuan Tianyi took a closer look and couldn't help but be moved.

"I like Qing Xia's Travels so much! I have read each book at least a hundred times..." Gu An kept talking about his love for Qing Xia's Travels.

Xuan Tianyi listened, and his heart was filled with unprecedented emotion.

Finally someone can appreciate his talent!

He suddenly felt as if he had met him too late.

On the way back, he lay on the board of the boat. Every time he read "The Romance of the Gods", he felt more and more connected with Pan An. The anticipation brought by this feeling even exceeded the satisfaction of him coming back to save the sect.

As expected, Pan An is the confidant he is hard to find in his life!

The more Xuan Tianyi thought about it, the more excited he became. He suddenly stood up, grabbed Gu An's shoulders with both hands, and said: "Pan An, no, Gu An, let's sworn brothers, I will be your eldest brother from now on!"

Gu An was stunned.

What kind of brain circuit is this?

Is it jumping too fast?

Seeing his hesitation, Xuan Tianyi said vigorously: "Brother, let me tell you, with my cultivation level, I am absolutely invincible in this continent, worship me as your eldest brother, and no one will try to bully you in the future. I heard that Lu Bai God wants to accept you as his disciple? Don't listen to him. His destiny-defying magical skills are not from the right way. I can teach you my magical skills. With the relationship between you and my brother, I won't help you. God changes destiny and takes you into the realm of integration, which is not difficult at all!"

Gu An wanted to refuse. Are you kidding me? I will become your younger brother?

But what Xuan Tianyi said next moved his heart.

He is worrying about how to live for thousands of years in the future. Under normal circumstances, when he reaches the state of divine transformation, others will not regard him as mediocre.

It's fine now. If he relied on Xuan Tian's will to achieve the state of unity, others would at most envy him and not think he was very threatening.

But Gu An still had to pretend.

So he pretended to refuse, but Xuan Tianyi refused. After several times, Xuan Tianyi became furious and forced him to agree.

"Since brother thinks highly of me, I will call you brother Xuan from now on." Gu An said helplessly.

Xuan Tianyi smiled brightly and took out a jade slip and said: "There are some techniques that I practice here. Use them to practice. I will have someone send you a batch of training resources after the new year."

"Isn't this... bad?" Gu An said awkwardly, holding the jade slip in his hand.

Xuan Tianyi glared and said: "If you feel sorry for yourself, then write a second book of Fengshenyan. Don't write about Shattered Void. It's too absurd and tasteless!"

Gu An had short hands and could only smile and said: "Okay, I will definitely write it."

"Oh? Could it be that you already have a plan?"

"Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you in advance. It's called Journey to the West."

"Journey to the West? This name doesn't sound good to me. It's definitely not as good as Fengshen Yanyi. You can think about it more carefully."

"Haha, you don't understand, you will know when the time comes."

Xuan Tianyi did not continue to criticize Journey to the West and started talking about other books. He took out a book.

"The inspiration for Qing Xia's Travels came from it." Xuan Tianyi said mysteriously, and he raised the book in his hand.

Gu An looked down, his eyelids twitched, and he took out a book from his storage bag.

Xuan Tianyi was stunned when he saw it.

"Why do you have Taoist Master Xunchun?" Xuan Tianyi asked excitedly with his eyes widened.

"Elder Xu Lu of the library gave it to me."

"It turns out that you are the junior who has been chasing Taoist Master Xunchun. Hahaha, we are really destined. I had someone bring this book back to him!"

Xuan Tianyi was so happy that he pulled Gu An and started discussing Taoist Master Xunchun.

The conversation between the two lasted until the evening. During this period, Ji Hantian knocked on the door and was kicked away by Xuan Tianyi.

It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that Gu An sent him downstairs.

Looking at Xuan Tianyi's leaving figure, Gu An's face was filled with a smile.

After chatting all night, he didn't feel tired at all. Both of them felt that they still had unfinished business. If Xuan Tianyi didn't have something important to do today, they could continue chatting.

Lu Lingjun suddenly came over and asked, "Is he the true disciple?"

Gu An nodded.

Lu Lingjun looked at him with a strange look in his eyes and asked, "You two have been together all day and night, wouldn't you..."

"Can't do anything?"

"It is said that after some great monks experienced the bliss of the world, in order to satisfy their empty hearts, they began to find other interests, such as homosexuality..." Lu Lingjun did not continue, but Gu An already understood.

Gu An rolled his eyes at her and hummed: "Oh? Did you guess it? Then don't think of me as your Taoist companion again!"

Lu Lingjun looked at his expression, pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "It seems that I am worrying too much."
