Seeing Gu An’s fierce suppression of the two Wandering Immortals, Chi Jiuxiao was dumbfounded, while An Hao trembled with excitement.
Gu An glanced at the purple-robed man in his hand and cast a Life Span Detection.
[Nine Stars True Lord (Fifth Layer of Wandering Immortal Realm): 42089/150000/160000]
He then looked at the red-robed man at his feet and performed the Life Span Detection as well.
[True Lord Cangye (Sixth Layer of Wandering Immortal Realm): 56803/160000/190000]
Both are quite old!
They all call themselves True Lords; could it be that True Lord is a title in the Seven Stars Spirit Realm?
As Gu An was pondering, True Lord Cangye at his feet struggled to speak: “Who might you be, sir? If that boy is indeed your disciple, take him away!”
Boom!
The whirlwind behind Gu An suddenly exploded, darkening An Hao and Chi Jiuxiao’s vision. A massive black scorpion, as large as a giant mountain, attacked, its pincers clamping towards Gu An.
Immortal-Swallowing Scorpion!
Its speed was insanely fast, so fast that Chi Jiuxiao and An Hao couldn’t react in time.
They only saw the Immortal-Swallowing Scorpion attack suddenly, and before they could see it clearly, it exploded. Black venom splattered everywhere, followed by an even more terrifying roar.
Rumble——
A vast cloud of dust rose behind Gu An, covering the sky with black venom.
“Impossible…”
The Nine Stars True Lord, held by Gu An, had his eyes wide open in disbelief.
That Immortal-Swallowing Scorpion was also in the Wandering Immortal Realm, yet it died instantly?
He didn’t even see what method Gu An used, feeling that as soon as the scorpion’s pincers touched Gu An, its body exploded.
[You successfully seized 57009 years of life span from the Immortal-Swallowing Scorpion (Second Level of Traveling Immortal Realm)]
Seeing the notification, Gu An felt slightly satisfied.
The Immortal-Swallowing Scorpion died under the Daoist Gang Primal Energy, which was manifested by the Ji Family’s Divine Skill, Heaven and Earth Path Gang. Whenever someone attacked Gu An’s body, this divine skill would trigger, killing the attacker.
True Lord Cangye could neither extend his Divine Sense nor turn his head, but he felt as if he would be annihilated the moment the Daoist Gang Primal Energy exploded.
He had never felt so desperate.
The opponent had definitely surpassed the Wandering Immortal Realm!
How could such a being exist on this backward continent?
The Nine Stars True Lord, witnessing the explosion of the Daoist Gang Primal Energy, was even more terrified.
At this moment, the two Wandering Immortals lost all will to fight, feeling only endless fear.
The longer they lived, the more they feared death.
“Senior… give…” True Lord Cangye said, trembling.
Although Gu An did not receive any hostility prompt, True Lord Cangye dared to let the Immortal-Swallowing Scorpion attack him, truly courting death.
Gu An suddenly exerted force with his right foot, directly crushing True Lord Cangye’s body into blood mist, leaving only a storage bag.
The Nine Stars True Lord’s eyes widened in despair.
From Gu An’s palm, the Breaking Path Divine Light burst forth, instantly reducing him to dust, leaving no trace behind.
The storage bag of the Nine Stars True Lord also fell to the ground.
The two Wandering Immortals died without any resistance!
An Hao and Chi Jiuxiao were stunned. They knew how powerful these two Wandering Immortals were, which made them even more bewildered.
Two notifications popped up before Gu An; he successfully seized twenty thousand years of life span!
A figure flew over and landed behind Gu An, bowing and cupping his fists. “Thank you, senior, for saving me!”
It was Chi Jiuxiao’s master, Chi Bei.
Chi Bei looked extremely miserable, his body oozing black blood.
“Don’t reveal this to anyone, or you’ll become my enemy.” Gu An warned before disappearing into thin air, taking the two storage bags with him.
Chi Bei looked up, but his Divine Sense could no longer detect Gu An, making him sigh.
At this moment, Chi Jiuxiao rushed out of the formation, supporting Chi Bei.
“Master, are you okay?” Chi Jiuxiao asked anxiously.
Chi Bei struggled to speak: “Bring out the medicine cauldron; I need to expel the poison…”
Chi Jiuxiao hurried to comply.
Soon, Chi Bei entered the cauldron to heal, taking out his prepared medicinal herbs and Spirit Water.
An Hao approached the great cauldron and cautiously asked, “What’s the origin of the Immortal-Swallowing Scorpion?”
Chi Jiuxiao, staring at the great cauldron, said solemnly, “The Immortal-Swallowing Scorpion is one of the nine ancient deadly poisons of the ocean and the most powerful venomous insect alive today. If an Immortal is swallowed by it, they instantly turn into toxic blood; stung by it, their cultivation dissipates, and gods and Buddhas cannot save them.”
So terrifying?
An Hao was startled, not knowing how to comfort Chi Jiuxiao.
Chi Jiuxiao turned to him and asked, “Who exactly is your master? It’s simply…”
Gu An’s earlier performance was terrifying, even though Chi Jiuxiao was saved, he feared Gu An’s power.
It was a fear born from something beyond his comprehension!
“I can’t reveal my master’s name; he forbids it.” An Hao shook his head, feeling proud inside.
Whenever he encountered a higher realm existence, he would wonder what realm his master had reached.
However, his master kept breaking his understanding time and time again.
No matter how powerful an entity appeared before his master, they were but ants.
He realized that although he was extremely talented, compared to his master, he wasn’t worth mentioning. He even suspected that his own talents were due to his master’s favor.
Chi Jiuxiao fell silent after hearing this.
He recalled Gu An’s previous demeanor, eyes showing admiration.
A true man cultivating the immortal path should have such a presence!
Elsewhere.
Gu An did not return to the Supreme Sect but instead arrived at an isolated island on the sea with one step.
He appeared in the forest, quickly sorting through the storage bags of the two True Lords, destroying suspicious items, and throwing the treasures into his own storage bag.
As his storage bag wasn’t enough to hold the inheritance of these two, he had to refine one of their storage bags.
Discover wonders at m-vl-em-py-r
After a while, he finally left.
He entered his own Grotto Heaven with one step, emptied everything out, and burned the Nine Stars True Lord’s storage bag to ashes.
Although he checked and found nothing wrong, he still wanted to be cautious.
After doing all this, he returned to the Supreme Sect.
He stood on the mountaintop next to the Mystic Valley, gazing into the distance.
Although it was easy to kill three Wandering Immortals, he wasn’t at peace.
He knew things were about to escalate!
But he didn’t regret it; he couldn’t let the enemies survive.
There was another way!
He also wanted to find the Immortal Spirit of the Divine Exotic City and give it to someone to end this conflict prematurely.
Gu An had no interest in Divine Exotic City, despite its power, because its karma was too great. He didn’t want any trouble.
Giving it to someone else to follow the Star Sea Congregations away would be the best result.
He had visited Divine Exotic City twice and vaguely tracked the Immortal Spirit’s whereabouts.
…
Several days later, within the Minor Heaven and Earth of Divine Exotic City, the wind and sand had ceased.
Chi Jiuxiao helped Chi Bei, who had just emerged from the cauldron, to sit down. Chi Bei, now dressed in a clean white robe, had a pale face and disheveled hair, lacking any Wandering Immortal demeanor.
Sitting down, he sighed: “I didn’t expect Divine Exotic City to attract a Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal.”
An Hao’s face showed curiosity upon hearing this.
“Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal? Is it the legendary realm capable of traveling beyond the heavens?” Chi Jiuxiao’s eyes brightened with excitement.
Chi Bei nodded: “It must be. Being in the same realm, he couldn’t have possibly defeated those two True Lords so easily.”
He looked at Chi Jiuxiao and said, “Senior saved us, so we must keep our promise and not speak of his intervention. Just say it was cultivators from the Star Sea Congregations, got it?”
Chi Jiuxiao nodded heavily.
Chi Bei then looked at An Hao, scrutinizing him. He could see that An Hao had extraordinary roots and asked, “Is your master also from the Supreme Sect?”
He could see the karma surrounding An Hao but could only see the past ten years, not the interactions between An Hao and his master.
As for Lv Baitian, he was quickly dismissed; a mere Unification Realm was not worth his attention.
“I’m not sure; he probably isn’t.” An Hao shook his head, keeping a cautious mind and not fully trusting Chi Bei.
Chi Bei smiled: “You’re very fortunate, young man. With such a master, your future is limitless. How about joining the Star Sea Congregations later?”
An Hao hesitated: “I don’t have just one master. My other master is the Sect Leader of the Supreme Sect, and I have to take on the responsibility of strengthening my sect.”
Chi Bei’s smile grew even more gentle: “It’s not about leaving the Supreme Sect. You can train with the Star Sea Congregations for a while and help establish good relations between the two sects. The Star Sea Congregations can help you grow strong quickly; once you’re powerful enough, you’ll better protect the Supreme Sect. In the future, if the Star Sea Congregations face difficulties, you can offer your help.”
Hearing this, An Hao found it hard to refuse and looked towards Chi Jiuxiao.
Chi Jiuxiao snorted: “Is my master going to deceive you? Xuan Tianyi is the best example.”
Traveling together all this way, he had learned about the relationship between Xuan Tianyi and An Hao.
He also wanted to win An Hao over.
Winning over An Hao meant winning over the Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal from a few days ago!
A Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal; the Star Sea Congregations had produced such beings, but those were legends, and he had never seen one with his own eyes.
An Hao hesitated for a while but finally nodded in agreement, bringing smiles to Chi Bei and Chi Jiuxiao.
Chi Bei’s smile faded as he said, “I haven’t completely expelled the Immortal-Swallowing Scorpion’s toxin. Let’s leave Divine Exotic City to avoid the Seven Stars Spirit Realm’s pursuit.”
“But Divine Exotic City…” Chi Jiuxiao hesitated.
Chi Bei glared at him angrily: “There is a Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal in Divine Exotic City, along with other Wandering Immortal presences. Do you think you have the qualifications to compete for the Immortal Spirit?”
Chi Jiuxiao immediately backed down, scratching his head with an awkward smile, not daring to insist further.
An Hao felt some regret, but leaving now wouldn’t be a loss; he had found many treasures alongside Chi Jiuxiao and had gained a lot.
So, the three of them packed up and began to search for a way out.
…
In a dark hall, one side of the wall was adorned with a row of brass oil lamps, some of which had already gone out.
In front of the lamp wall stood a woman in a purple dress with a veil, her long hair coiled into a bun. Her revealed eyebrows were delicate, but the coldness in her eyes added a sense of mystery to her aura.
A boy dressed in a sleeveless top appeared on her shoulder, tilting his head and asking, “Mother, what are you looking at?”
Upon closer inspection, the boy’s feet were embedded in the shoulder of the woman in the purple dress; he was a Soul Body, not a Living Spirit.
