Gu An asked, “What else did you see?”
Seeing that Gu An did not doubt her, Ji Xiaoyu continued to recount.
She saw herself being chased by many people, saw herself diving to the seabed and discovering a palace, and even saw herself flying into the sky to pick stars, among other things.
After listening, Gu An said, “You can come here often if you’re free.”
But Ji Xiaoyu shook her head and said, “Forget it, my intuition tells me not to touch those memories.”
After speaking, Ji Xiaoyu turned and left.
Gu An watched her back and suddenly felt that her reincarnation was not just for improving her aptitude.
Thinking carefully, it’s true, the power contained in Ji Xiaoyu’s Primordial Daoist Talisman was so strong that she did not need to improve her aptitude before Nirvana.
Could there be another hidden reason, and Ji Xiaoyu’s soul had been wary of awakening her previous life memories?
Gu An shook his head, not wanting to think too much. After all, Ji Xiaoyu couldn’t stay in the Third Medicine Valley forever.
…
At the end of summer, Gu An arrived at Immortal Seeking Island.
His divine sense swept around, but the figure of the Immortal Seeking Taoist was nowhere to be seen. Did he really escape?
He shook his head, then walked into the streets and began to wander around. This time, he did not call Hu Xiaojian.
Besides buying seeds, he also wanted to inquire about Impermanence Tian’s whereabouts.
Now there were battles everywhere on the ocean, even Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal conflicts. More and more Divine Exotic Resentful Ghosts were escaping from the Sea Breaking Rift, some in groups and some alone.
Those Divine Soul Demons acting alone were very strong. Gu An didn’t keep watching the Sea Breaking Rift, so he came to listen for news.
Sure enough, cultivators all over the streets were discussing the Sea Breaking Rift and the Divine Exotic Resentful Ghosts.
It was said that there were nine Divine Exotic Ghost Kings in the Sea Breaking Rift, each having the power to rival a Great Sect, and some even holding Immortal Path Supreme Treasures.
The main forces of the Star Sea Congregations once encountered one Divine Exotic Ghost King, suffering heavy losses and failing to capture it.
The known Divine Exotic Ghost Kings were three: Impermanence Tian, Defying Jiuyou, and Yin Yang Chaos.
All three had three-word names, and each had heaven-shaking abilities.
Impermanence Tian stormed into a force comparable to the Star Sea Congregations, swallowing a great talent alive and leaving leisurely, making a name in battle.
Defying Jiuyou created the Jiuyou Sea Fog, wreaking havoc on the ocean, turning all marine life into white bones wherever it passed.
Yin Yang Chaos was even scarier, capturing souls and turning them into ghostly soldiers.
The three Divine Exotic Ghost Kings did not fight together; each could bring disaster to the ocean.
There was also good news: it was said that an Immortal Path Supreme Treasure appeared in the Sea Breaking Rift and was seized by a divine monk from the Bitter Sea Buddha Sect.
Bitter Sea Buddha Sect came from a far-off place, not known to the cultivators on Immortal Seeking Island, only that it was very powerful.
Gu An wandered around for an hour and then began purchasing medicinal herbs.
Experience tales with мѵʟ
Before he finished his shopping, dark clouds rolled in, covering Immortal Seeking Island and darkening the entire island.
Although Gu An had detected the crisis on Immortal Seeking Island, he did not panic and calmly continued buying medicinal herbs.
When he walked out of the mansion’s gate, Immortal Seeking Island was already like night.
His gaze turned to the alleyway corner, where a claw emerged from the pitch-black wall, followed by a hideous ghost crawling out.
It was entirely black, with blood-red cracks all over its body, resembling the thousand-foot figure in the previous terrifying sea waves.
After landing, it looked around, its face bearing six eyes, and soon locked its gaze on Gu An.
With a thunderous roar, the whole city echoed with a nerve-wracking howl, as if hundreds of thousands of monsters were howling together.
The Six-Eyed Resentful Ghost also howled, leaping like lightning and appearing before Gu An in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
The Six-Eyed Resentful Ghost instantly turned into ghostly mist, scattering around.
Gu An walked toward the steps, and the entire city erupted in battle. Numerous cultivators and demons flew into the sky, countless Divine Exotic Resentful Ghosts rising like a rain of arrows to chase them.
Gu An did not receive any life span prompt and abandoned the idea of gaining life span by capturing Divine Exotic Resentful Ghosts.
Since there was no profit, there was no need to stay long.
Gu An used the Limitless Freedom Step to leave Immortal Seeking Island.
After returning to the Supreme Sect, he leisurely walked into Mystic Valley.
In the summer heat, the disciples were all cultivating inside their rooms. Gu An went upstairs to rest and only came to the Third Medicine Valley in the evening.
Now he liked wandering around, seeming very busy but actually doing nothing, just enjoying such a lifestyle.
Upon his return, Gu An saw the Nine-Finger Divine Lord playing chess with none other than Lu Lingjun’s master, the Holy Mother of Western Spirit.
Lu Lingjun stood by watching the game, which piqued Gu An’s interest, and he walked over to join.
As he arrived beside Lu Lingjun, he heard the Nine-Finger Divine Lord say with a smile, “Much obliged.”
The disciples all praised him for his skill.
The Holy Mother of Western Spirit was calm. She looked at the Nine-Finger Divine Lord and asked, “May I ask your name, senior, and what sect you are from?”
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord waved his hand, saying, “It’s just a game of chess, no need to pry so much. Has the Bitter Sea Buddha Sect not taught you manners?”
Upon hearing this, the Holy Mother of Western Spirit’s expression changed slightly, but she said no more. She stood up, saluted the Nine-Finger Divine Lord, and then turned to leave.
Lu Lingjun did not follow but looked at Gu An beside her, asking curiously, “How did you beat this senior?”
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord’s face turned ashen, and he began to call others to sit down and start another game.
Gu An replied with a smug smile, “I wanted to interact with you as a mortal, but since you asked, I have to reveal it. I am a chess immortal in the world, using black and white Tai Chi to inquire about the Dao, experiencing worldly tribulations.”
Lu Lingjun couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Beside them, Elder Lu widened his eyes and couldn’t help but ask, “Valley Master, are you really a chess immortal?”
The other disciples also looked at Gu An excitedly. Whether true or not, their expressions made Gu An feel very satisfied.
“You are teachable!”
Gu An said with a laugh, “Just teasing you all. If I were a chess immortal, would I still be here doing chores?”
The disciples laughed along, continuously flattering him.
Seeing Gu An enjoying the disciples’ adulation, Lu Lingjun shook her head and smiled.
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord found Gu An very contradictory. Sometimes he was very worldly, sometimes he saw through the mundane. Perhaps it was this contradiction in his character that made his chess moves unpredictable and hard to capture.
Afterward, Lu Lingjun pulled Gu An away, and they came to a secluded place.
“Can you let the girl downstairs come to me? I want to take her as my disciple,” Lu Lingjun asked eagerly.
Gu An, hearing this, shook his head and said, “She is the Girl of Heavenly Pride from the Ji Family, only temporarily staying with me. If you want to take her as a disciple, you must ask the vice sect leader.”
Lu Lingjun pouted and said, “Ji Hantian? He definitely won’t agree. He opposed my founding of the Ascension Sect before, fearing I would undermine the Supreme Sect.”
Gu An laughed and said, “So what are you doing now?”
“I just can’t bear to see good talents buried.”
“So if you can’t bear to see good talents from the Supreme Sect being buried, do you want to take all the good talents away?”
“You brat, do you think of me like that?”
As they bickered, Lu Lingjun started hitting Gu An, who was really afraid of hurting her.
Sigh.
He suddenly missed the days when Lu Lingjun used to bribe him.
Back then, Lu Lingjun’s attitude was as good as could be.
Women are indeed changeable.
Gu An suddenly asked, “Your master is from the Bitter Sea Buddha Sect? What kind of sect is that, and where is it?”
He was curious because he had also heard this name mentioned today on Immortal Seeking Island.
Lu Lingjun replied, “Yes, the Bitter Sea Buddha Sect is very far from the Supreme Sect. Not even Ji Hantian could find it in a lifetime.”
“So far away, you won’t become a nun at the Bitter Sea Buddha Sect, will you?”
“Don’t talk nonsense, let’s not discuss this.”
Lu Lingjun gave Gu An a stern look and then changed the topic, seemingly afraid of offending the Holy Mother of Western Spirit.
After chatting for a while, Lu Lingjun left.
Gu An then walked towards his loft.
Upon reaching the loft, Ji Xiaoyu suddenly ran out of the house, saying she had something to tell him.
So, they went upstairs together.
After sitting down, Gu An looked at Ji Xiaoyu sitting opposite and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Ji Xiaoyu replied, “Wait a moment, Valley Master Brother, read a book first.”
Seeing her nervousness, Gu An found it amusing and didn’t press for an answer, instead picking up Investiture of the Gods to read.
“Valley Master Brother, why are you reading Investiture of the Gods? They all say you like reading Green Hero Travelogue,” Ji Xiaoyu asked curiously.
Gu An’s face changed instantly, and he sternly asked, “Who said that?”
“Tang Yu, Peng Chang, Chen Jie, they all said so.”
“Don’t listen to their nonsense. Tomorrow I’ll educate them properly. How dare they slander their master!”
“Slander? Isn’t Green Hero Travelogue a good book?”
“Don’t ask, just read a book yourself.”
Gu An threw Journey to the West on the table to Ji Xiaoyu and then focused on reading.
An hour later, Ji Xiaoyu put down Journey to the West, let out a sigh of relief, and said, “They finally left. Two people came to the valley today, making me feel very uncomfortable. One of them even wanted to take me as a disciple, but I refused.”
Gu An sensed that the Holy Mother of Western Spirit and Lu Lingjun had already flown away and was secretly surprised.
Ji Xiaoyu, who was only at the ninth layer of the Energy Cultivation Realm, could sense the Holy Mother of Western Spirit’s presence?
She could even judge when the Holy Mother of Western Spirit left, extraordinary indeed.
Gu An asked, “Why did they make you feel uncomfortable? Have you seen them before?”
Ji Xiaoyu replied, “No, but when I was in a trance under the Mystic Pure Tree, I saw some images of people with similar auras to them, and those people wanted to capture me.”
Hmm?
Could it be that Ji Xiaoyu was an enemy of the Bitter Sea Buddha Sect in her previous life?
It seemed that he needed to pay more attention to the Holy Mother of Western Spirit. If she recognized Ji Xiaoyu, he had to be cautious to avoid implicating the disciples in the valley.
“Valley Master Brother, you’d better stay away from them. I feel that nothing good will come from getting close to them,” Ji Xiaoyu said seriously.
Gu An nodded and said, “Don’t mention this to anyone else to avoid trouble.”
Ji Xiaoyu replied, “Don’t worry, I’ll only tell you. Besides you, I feel that no one else in this world would harm me. It’s a strange feeling, but that’s truly how I feel.”
