Gu An saw that Xu Ruohai and his sibling were still in a daze, so he immediately rolled up his sleeves, took them into his palm, and followed Bai Ziya to fly upwards.
That scene caused Bai Ziya to raise an eyebrow and laugh, “Daoist Friend Meng, you have impressive divine skills!”
In the eyes of Xu Ruohai and his sibling, it was not that they had become smaller, but Gu An and Xu Ruohai had become gigantic, a visual impact so shocking that it left the siblings speechless and wide-eyed.
Listening to Gu An and Bai Ziya chatting and laughing, Xu Xi came back to her senses and looked at Xu Ruohai, asking carefully, “Brother, just now the senior mentioned Meng Dao… is he a Peak Master?”
She naturally knew what being a Peak Master meant. In Mortal World Peak, a Peak Master wielded immense power and symbolized the status of a strong individual, someone of legendary status.
Turbulent waves rose in Xu Ruohai’s heart as he tried to maintain his composure, slightly nodding his head without making a sound.
He carefully recalled the previous interactions and realized he hadn’t offended the other party, who had even comforted him about successfully entering Mortal World Peak.
A light shone in Xu Ruohai’s eyes, his heart beginning to race with excitement, his hands clenched into fists inside his sleeves.
At the same time, Bai Ziya began to explain the situation of the millennium summit.
Although it was called the millennium summit, it was not actually fixed at an interval of ten thousand years. It had been twenty thousand years since the last summit, and Bai Ziya, having returned rarely, discussed holding it with the other Peak Masters.
The opening of the millennium summit would not only recruit new disciples but also invite other friendly forces.
Before the opening of the millennium summit, Bai Ziya would take Gu An to choose an unclaimed Divine Peak.
Mortal World Peak had many peaks, divided by rank from low to high: Sea Peak, Immortal Peak, Divine Peak, and Main Peak, the latter being the highest level with only one. There were twenty-five Divine Peaks, and the hard standard for a Master of a Divine Peak was the Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal Realm.
Gu An was curious, how could there be a shortage of Divine Peak Masters?
Bai Ziya replied that many Heaven and Earth Flying Immortals wanted to adventure beyond the Outer Heaven, so they would make room if they wanted to leave.
After hearing this, Gu An didn’t react too strongly, making Bai Ziya sigh in relief.
It looked like he had successfully bluffed Gu An.
He had made Outer Heaven seem so dangerous because he wanted Gu An to stay in the Great Heavenly Spirit Land.
Besides, someone like Gu An, who had no powerful backing and could cultivate to the Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal Realm in solitude, was undoubtedly an unimaginable talent. Even without going to Outer Heaven, he could still advance.
The two kept flying upwards until the azure sky vanished, replaced by the dazzling starry sky.
Xu Ruohai and Xu Xi, standing in the palm of Gu An’s hand, looked up, immersed in the vastness of the universe.
Gu An followed Bai Ziya into a grand hall, placing Xu Ruohai and Xu Xi on the ground, asking them to follow behind him.
The grand hall was spacious, with giant, majestic statues lined up on both sides, and the ceiling was engraved with various grand scenes. Xu Ruohai and Xu Xi proceeded cautiously, not daring to make a sound, staying close behind Gu An.
Moving forward, Gu An saw twenty-five bluish-purple crystal columns, with the power of rules surging within, containing countless restrictions. It seemed that Mortal World Peak might be hiding a Divine Immortal of Wondrous Dharma.
Even a Carefree Primordial Immortal would find it difficult to construct such crystal columns.
Bai Ziya stopped walking and pointed to two adjacent crystal columns, “These two Divine Peaks are open for choice, known as Chengtian Peak and Dingtian Peak…”
He began to introduce Chengtian Peak and Dingtian Peak.
Experience exclusive tales on empire
Chengtian Peak had over a million disciples, and its height was moderate since it had a long history, so the disciples’ cultivation levels were generally strong.
The height of Dingtian Peak was second among the Divine Peaks. Because it had experienced internal strife, there was a gap in the disciples’ cultivation, with most of them below the level of Loose Immortals, and resources were also scarce, with many areas left idle.
Currently, the number of disciples on Dingtian Peak was just over two hundred thousand.
Gu An immediately spoke up, “Then Dingtian Peak it shall be; I will see to its improvement and contribute to Mortal World Peak.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Ziya looked at Gu An with newfound respect.
Afterward, Bai Ziya asked Gu An to bring out the Mortal Jade and place it on the crystal column.
Having done all this, they proceeded to other palaces for a tedious process to unlock Gu An’s rights on Dingtian Peak.
Xu Ruohai and Xu Xi also registered in the process, becoming disciples of Dingtian Peak.
An hour later, Bai Ziya took Gu An and the siblings to Dingtian Peak, then left.
He didn’t support Gu An’s position; jokingly, did a Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal even need someone to stand up for them?
Who would dare to stir up trouble? That would be courting death!
In Mortal World Peak, disciples were not allowed to defile the Peak Master!
Xu Ruohai and Xu Xi looked with excitement at the majestic Dingtian Peak.
Gu An looked at them and asked with a smile, “From now on, how should you address me?”
Xu Ruohai quickly bowed and offered his respects, “This disciple, Xu Ruohai, greets Master!”
Xu Xi recovered her senses and followed suit, greeting him as Master.
Gu An smiled, then revealed the aura of the Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal, enveloping Dingtian Peak.
Only at this moment did Xu Ruohai and his sibling truly feel the strength of Gu An.
The three flew to the summit; shortly after, nine Wandering Immortals came to greet them. Gu An, without a second word, displayed his Mortal Jade.
The nine Wandering Immortals showed delight and paid their respects, referring to Gu An as Master respectfully.
Gu An threw a Life Span Detection at them; their life spans were healthy, able to work for him for many years.
The eldest disciple of Dingtian Peak was named Zhu Xinglan, possessing the ninth layer of the Wandering Immortal Realm cultivation, seemingly only a step away from the Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal Realm, but it was an insurmountable gap for most Wandering Immortals.
Gu An dismissed the other disciples and had Zhu Xinglan accompany him alone, while he already had someone arrange the Xu siblings.
Zhu Xinglan was refined in appearance, looking to be in his forties, dressed in a green robe, with a black-and-white beard, his demeanor calm and imposing as he stroked his beard.
Gu An asked him to give him a tour around Dingtian Peak.
Before long, two hours had passed.
After settling into his new residence, Gu An prepared to leave. Before departing, he gave Zhu Xinglan a large amount of Crystal Stones to buy medicinal herbs to cultivate on Dingtian Peak, making Zhu Xinglan extremely excited, feeling the arrival of a magnificent Peak Master.
Returning to Third Medicine Valley, Gu An transformed from the high and mighty Peak Master of Mortal World Peak to an ordinary Valley Master of Supreme Sect.
In the evening, Gu An found Stealing the Five Elements and Nine-Finger Divine Lord, who were still playing chess, truly a waste of time.
Gu An curiously asked, “Where did Shen Xinzi go?”
Nine-Finger Divine Lord casually responded, “I heard he went to the millennium summit of Mortal World Peak, he just left not long ago.”
“Mortal World Peak?”
“Mhm, an ancient Qi Fortune Sect. Don’t bother poking your nose into it. You won’t encounter it in this lifetime; it’s a Sect much more powerful than the Great Cold Demon Sect.”
Nine-Finger Divine Lord casually replied, prompting Gu An to stare at him, then he turned and walked away.
Stealing the Five Elements then said with a smile, “That’s not necessarily true; if he could invent this game, I think he might encounter great opportunities in the future.”
“Who knows? You’re so powerful, yet I haven’t seen you help him.”
Nine-Finger Divine Lord replied, and although he had grown familiar with Gu An, he had no intention of changing Gu An’s destiny.
With Gu An’s talent, even if he was taken to a Great Sect, it might not be for the best.
At least here, Gu An could live effortlessly, live happily.
Gu An, hearing their conversation, thought to himself with a hint of amusement.
If I revealed my realm, you might have never even heard of it!
Gu An hummed and went to chat with Ji Xiaoyu.
With some time left before the millennium summit, Gu An was in no rush to head there.
Days later.
Gu An came to Immortal Seeking Island and made his final deal with the Island Master; henceforth, Immortal Seeking Island would belong to him.
Due to the calamity brought by the Great Cold Demon Sect, the forces behind the Island Master had already withdrawn, not willing to look back, and could only sell it off to gain as much as possible.
Before leaving, the Island Master said to Gu An, “You had better have your backing force send a Wandering Immortal here; otherwise, you won’t be able to keep order.”
Gu An nodded with a smile.
After the Island Master and his people had left, Gu An turned to Hu Xiaojian and said with a smile, “From now on, Immortal Seeking Island is mine, and I won’t treat you unfairly.”
Hu Xiaojian immediately knelt down, banging his head on the ground in excitement.
Afterward, Gu An summoned the elders of Sea Protection Mansion, briefly instructed them, and upon hearing that Gu An would arrange for a Wandering Immortal to come later, all the elders’ expressions became respectful, no longer daring to underestimate him.
Gu An wasn’t just boasting; there were Wandering Immortals on Dingtian Peak, and he could easily arrange for one.
After all, he was using the identity of Meng Lang on Immortal Seeking Island.
Time flew swiftly by.
Until the spring festival had passed, the millennium summit of Mortal World Peak was finally about to begin.
Above the sea of clouds, Holy Mother of Western Spirit stood on a lotus throne, moving swiftly, with Lu Lingjun standing beside her, and a small snake lying on her shoulder, the White Spirit Demon Emperor who had ascended with her.
Lu Lingjun’s beautiful eyes widened as she saw the peaks through the clouds, feeling as though she was witnessing the Immortal Realm of mortals.
The White Spirit Demon Emperor flicked its tongue curiously and asked, “How does Mortal World Peak compare to the Great Cold Demon Sect in terms of strength?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Lingjun couldn’t help but look toward Holy Mother of Western Spirit, curiosity gleaming in her eyes.
She could not forget the sight of the Great Cold Demon Sect surrounding the continent.
At that time, it felt like the Great Cold Demon Sect was invincible.
“In terms of historical heritage, Mortal World Peak is stronger, and Mortal World Peak also has considerable power within the Holy Court. Even we, the Bitter Sea Buddha Sect, cannot compare,” Holy Mother of Western Spirit replied, her face calm.
Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Emperor could feel the might of Mortal World Peak even more.
Holy Mother of Western Spirit continued speaking of Mortal World Peak’s past.
While listening, Lu Lingjun gazed into the distance, her anticipation for the upcoming millennium summit growing.
Passing through layers of clouds, they observed the peaks along the way, their eyes never resting.
Gradually, more figures of cultivators appeared in their view, all invited monks or demons from Great Sects, each with extraordinary presence.
Neither Lu Lingjun nor the White Spirit Demon Emperor had reached the Mahayana Realm, yet the cultivators and demons they encountered along the way were much stronger than them, causing an instinctive feeling of nervousness and discomfort.
But they were Ascenders, certainly not cowards!
Ambition grew within them; one day, they too would arrive invited, rather than relying on others.
Lu Lingjun couldn’t help but think of Gu An. The young man who had written the Immortal God Book, if he could see this spectacle, would certainly be inspired even more.
Too bad, with Gu An’s talent and temperament, he probably would never reach such a place in his lifetime.
