Chapter 257: The Former Lord of the Divine City

In the imperial study room, after hearing Li Xuandao's words, Ye Yan replied: "I don't know. When I left, I didn't see any great monks that Master had made friends with."

He was also muttering in his mind.

He felt that Xuan Gu had extraordinary luck, and Su Han, who disrupted the immortal cultivation world of Tai Cang Dynasty decades ago, was his senior brother.

Even now, when he thinks of Su Han, he can't help but sigh.

Thinking back then, when he, Zhen Qin, and Su Han followed Gu An to practice in the Third Medicine Valley, how could they have imagined that they would achieve what they have today?

Although Su Han's life and death are unknown, the commotion Su Han made has proved his strength. They are no longer the unknown little monks they were at the beginning.

After Li Xuandao heard his words, he didn't say anything anymore, but fell into thinking.

For a moment, the imperial study room fell into silence. The two of them had their own thoughts, and they were both wondering whether there was an expert behind Gu An.

for a long time.

Li Xuandao said: "Go down. The negotiations with the Jiang Dynasty are about to end. You have to start going to sea. This matter is related to Tai Cang's thousand-year plan and cannot be careless."

"yes!"

Ye Yan accepted the order, then bowed and left.

Li Xuandao looked out the window, his eyes wandering.

"We have to attack Xuanxin as soon as possible, otherwise many things will not be carried out." Li Xuandao thought silently.

He cares more about himself than Li Lingtian's achievements.

So far, only Lu Xian knows about his hidden cultivation, and now Lu Xian doesn't know exactly how high his level is.

Li Xuandao had great ambitions. He wanted to be an immortal emperor and reign forever. For this, he needed the strength to protect himself.

It's good that Li Lingtian suffered this setback. He can practice harder in the future to avoid causing trouble for his imperial power.

Thinking of this, Li Xuandao smiled.

"Yang Jian, yes, I will look forward to your future."

…

Under the blue sky and white clouds.

Among the mountains, Li Ya was meditating on the lake. His upper body was bare, surrounded by mist. His hair was constantly flowing, and his whole person exuded a powerful aura, making the lake surface sparkle, like a sword shining.

A figure jumped over the tall mountains, fell from the sky, and landed on the lake, causing ripples. His feet did not touch the lake.

It’s Zhang Buku!

Zhang Buku was wearing a robe made of animal skin, with long hair reaching his waist, and his whole person had a very wild temperament.

He put his hands on his hips and said with a smile: "Brother Li, An Hao has made a big fuss recently. Do you want to know?"

Li Ya didn't open his eyes and replied: "Tell me, what happened to him?"

The three of them joined the Xinghai Group together. Although Li Ya, who holds the Mystical City, is famous in the sect, his growth rate cannot be compared with An Hao.

An Hao was the number one genius in Taixuan Sect in ancient and modern times. When he came to the Xinghai Sect, the same was true. He eclipsed all the geniuses.

"He has developed the Fierce Yuan Treasure Body. It is said that this is the physique that can dominate the world in ancient times. Although the Xinghai Group has methods of cultivation, he is the first person to achieve it in tens of thousands of years."

Zhang Buku lamented that since taking the demon pill, his talent has also changed. He can be considered a genius, but compared with An Hao, he is still far behind.

Speaking of which, it was always awkward when he met An Hao because they both came from Taixuan Sect and had to be polite, but he disliked An Hao very much.

There was no reason for this kind of dislike. He didn't know why, but when he looked at An Hao's face, he felt disgusted. He always felt as if he had seen An Hao somewhere.

Li Ya opened his eyes and frowned.

He had always targeted An Hao, but the more he chased after him, the more powerless he felt.

An Hao seemed to be the protagonist of this world, and anyone would pale in front of him.

He had heard about the Lieyuan Treasure Body. After it was mastered, it would transform into the bright sun and become invincible.

Zhang Buku continued: "Today the teaching is going to explore the Great Rift in the Sea. I have signed up. Are you going?"

Li Ya shook his head and said: "I still have to improve my cultivation. I don't want to go. Of course, if you want me to accompany you, that's not impossible."

Zhang Buku hummed, "I don't want you to follow me yet. It would be too unlucky to follow you. I'm mainly here to tell you this so that you won't find me."

Li Ya glared at him and said angrily: "Get out of here, you are the one who is unlucky!"

The two began to bicker again, and when Zhang Buku mentioned Gu An, Li Ya was defeated.

Zhang Buyu left with satisfaction.

Li Ya looked at Zhang Buku's back and cursed in his heart. When Zhang Buku came back, he would teach Zhang Buku a lesson.

…

It’s the Spring Festival again.

In the Third Medicine Valley, the disciples were busy putting up lanterns and decorations. Li Lingtian was also busy with the disciples, mainly beside Yang Jian. Seeing that Yang Jian was busy, he had to follow.

In the attic.

Gu An was discussing a strange book with Shen Zhen. The two of them expressed their own opinions and argued with each other, but neither could convince the other.

Sudden.

Gu An seemed to feel something and frowned.

Shen Zhen noticed the change in his expression, waved his hand in front of him, and asked, "What? Are you angry?"

Gu An shook his head and said, "No, I just thought of something and got distracted."

"Thinking about something? You don't respect me!" Shen Zhen glared and said angrily.

She stood up, put the books on the table into her storage bag, then stood up and left.

Gu An didn't stop her, he was too lazy to pamper her.

He sat back on the throne previously occupied by Shen Zhen and communicated with the supernatural spirits in his heart.

"Are you sure?" he asked in his mind.

The voice of the magical fairy followed: "Sure, it is his breath. Although I have not seen him, his breath is left in the city. I can't remember it wrong. The previous owner of the magical city is in that big crack!"

The big crack it mentioned is the big crack that runs across the ocean. Its appearance has also caused the rumor of the sea tide of destruction.

The magical fairy just felt the previous owner of the magical city from the big crack.

Gu An wanted to learn about the cultivation of the previous owner from it, but unfortunately, it didn't know.

In its words, it was born after the magical city left that person's hands.

The immortals of the immortal treasures are all like this. They can only serve one master. Once their master dies, the immortals will also be annihilated.

At this moment, Li Ya was still in the Xinghai Group Sect, far away from the big crack in the ocean, but the magical fairy felt that breath.

Gu An looked at the big crack and found that many cultivators were escaping from the big crack, as if something terrible was chasing them.

When his consciousness approached the big crack, he felt a strong breath, which made him dare not infiltrate rashly.

It made him feel very strong, and there might be Xiaoyao Yuanxian hidden in the big crack.

Gu An retracted his consciousness and stopped looking.

There are so many great forces in this world, and there are countless great cultivators. As long as they don't threaten him, he doesn't bother to care. Anyway, the big crack is extremely far away from the mainland, and there are two continents and countless islands in the middle.

Gu An chatted with the gods and immortals for a while, and he was relieved after confirming that the former master could no longer control the Shenyi City.

He got up and went downstairs. Walking on the stairs, he saw the busy disciples in the valley, and a smile appeared on his face.

"There are constant catastrophes in this world, but if it can happen a few decades later, it can also allow a generation to live a stable life."

Gu An thought so, and then went downstairs to the place where the most disciples gathered.

It was under an old tree, where dozens of disciples were gathered and talking. Among them, two people were playing chess, one of whom was the Nine-Fingered God.

The other person is the best chess player in the valley, and also one of the most experienced disciples in the valley. He is respected as Lu Lao. He has been in the Third Medicine Valley for a hundred years, from young to old. Because of his mediocre cultivation aptitude, he has been staying in the Medicine Valley and has no intention of leaving.

At this moment, Lu Lao frowned, and his right hand holding the chess piece trembled, and he was reluctant to make a move.

The Nine-Fingered God was calm and relieved in his heart.

This old man is so good at chess that he almost lost!

Since playing Go in the Third Medicine Valley, the Nine-Fingered God has been fascinated by Go. He feels that the chessboard contains infinite mysteries and has similar wonders to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, so he comes to the Third Medicine Valley to play chess every once in a while.

Go was invented by Gu An, and it has not been promoted yet. It is currently only popular in the Medicine Valley.

Gu An created Go just because he was bored. He did not want to promote it. Even in his previous life, he was only a Go enthusiast.

At this time, Gu An squeezed through the crowd, and seeing that Lu Lao was sweating profusely, he couldn't help but say, "Xiao Lu, why don't I play for you?"

Shameless Youxian, bullying my Yaogu mortal boy?

How unreasonable!

When Lu Lao looked up and saw that it was Gu An, he quickly stood up and let him go, and the other disciples were excited.

In their hearts, Gu An was the best at playing chess, after all, he created this chess.

Looking at Gu An sitting down, Nine-Fingered God said with a smile: "My friend, do you think there is still hope in this game?"

Gu An smiled and said, "If it's three steps later, there is really no hope."

Nine-Fingered God's smile froze instantly.

The reason why Youxian is so good at playing chess is that he can deduce countless possibilities in an instant and choose a better plan for placing the pieces. From the first step of Lu Lao, Nine-Fingered God has seen the ending.

After knowing the rules of Go, Nine-Fingered God can win against ordinary people, but it is precisely because he can deduce countless possibilities that he can feel the exquisiteness of Go.

He played chess not to win, but to experience the process and comprehend his own Taoism in the game.

He didn't expect Gu An to see through his chess game.

Under his gaze, Gu An pinched the chess piece and dropped it on the chessboard, and it suddenly came back to life, which made him frown.

He immediately made a move, and Gu An followed.

Unlike other people who played chess slowly, the two of them made moves very quickly.

What they were competing for was the ability to deduce!

The disciples around them didn't dare to breathe.

Li Lingtian also squeezed in to join in the fun. Seeing the momentum of the two playing chess, he became interested in Go for the first time.

One piece after another, the sound of the pieces falling formed a kind of music, revealing a fierce momentum.

Suddenly.

The Nine-Fingered God stopped, retracted his hand hanging in the air, put down the chess piece, frowned, and said, "I lost."

As soon as these words came out, cheers rang out around him. Lu Lao wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled happily.

The Nine-Fingered God stared at Gu An, as if he wanted to see through him.

Although this kid has an extraordinary temperament, his cultivation and muscles don't seem to be that impressive. How can he beat him?
