“Da Hong Sword Heaven’s Sword Intent…”
The white-robed elder gazed at Jue Luo Sword Monarch, contemplating with astonishment.
Jue Luo Sword Monarch also fixed his eyes on him, their gazes locked, and both could see the wariness in each other’s eyes.
The white-robed elder quickly shifted his gaze away and continued onward.
Jue Luo Sword Monarch had no intention of picking a fight either, after all, they bore no grudges against each other.
During the Reincarnation Tribulation, he would often encounter other Free Immortals; if he were to confront each one, even Da Hong Sword Heaven might not be able to protect him.
Jue Luo Sword Monarch headed toward Ten Thousand Sword Mountain.
The number of visitors to the Third Medicine Valley was increasing, and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain had also become a spectacle that many people came to observe. An Xin had already arranged for hundreds of disciples to guard the perimeter of Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, to prevent outsiders from trespassing.
“There can be no mistake about the Sword Intent on this mountain, it’s definitely Sword Venerable Fudao’s!”
“With such an abundance of Sword Intent and each one distinct upon careful observation, what could the old Sword Venerable be trying to do?”
“Perhaps he’s creating a land of inheritance.”
“This mountain is too lowly for someone like him. The Sect Leader should assist in building a taller one.”
“That makes sense. Sword Venerable Fudao’s Sword Dao deserves the tallest mountain in the world.”
Jue Luo Sword Monarch arrived and heard the discussions, his lips twitching involuntarily.
He wasn’t angry that people said Sword Venerable Fudao’s Sword Dao was the strongest; he was merely amazed at the shamelessness of these mortals. Trying to attract the attention of Sword Venerable Fudao with such tactics?
Ridiculous!
Jue Luo Sword Monarch came to the back of the crowd and spoke up, “It’s not about the height of the mountain. Sword Venerable Fudao’s Sword Dao is indeed the strongest. But precisely because he is so powerful, even if he were to place just one sword anywhere, it would suppress all Sword Dao in the world and command respect from all beings.”
Upon these words, everybody looked his way, while those who had just been flattering Sword Venerable Fudao inwardly gasped in surprise.
Another expert?
Jue Luo Sword Monarch stood tall and proud, continuing to describe just how powerful Sword Venerable Fudao’s Sword Dao was.
Inside the house, Gu An couldn’t help but smirk, finding the man’s words quite pleasing to the ear.
He also understood Jue Luo Sword Monarch’s intentions, but he would not take him as a disciple.
It would mess up the seniority!
However, giving pointers on Jue Luo Sword Monarch’s Sword Dao was an option.
Gu An put down his pen, stood up, and prepared to meet people. With so many important figures present, he couldn’t stay cooped up and risk being impolite.
Of course, the most important thing was he couldn’t miss such an excellent opportunity to make a grand appearance!
Gu An quickly tidied up the desk and then descended the stairs.
He threw a glance at Blood Prison Great Saint, who immediately rose and scuttled after him.
Along the way, numerous cultivators and disciples greeted Gu An, and he responded with a smile to each one.
Elsewhere.
Zhu Xi stepped out of the courtyard arranged for her by An Xin, wanting to stroll around.
Even from a great distance, she could see the star-like crowd around Gu An, extremely conspicuous. When she recognized his true face, she was taken aback.
“How could it be him…”
Zhu Xi couldn’t forget the enigmatic senior she had met on Mortal World Peak, initially thinking he had been toying with her. However, after she began cultivating the Stepping Path of Ages Step, she came to understand the formidable power of this Divine Skill.
Even after hundreds of years, she had not encountered a more potent skill than the Stepping Path of Ages Step.
At that moment, she suddenly relaxed.
If it were this senior, perhaps he truly intended to take her as a disciple.
Previously, she thought that Gu An wanted to scheme against her, but now that she knew he was Sword Venerable Fudao, her worries evaporated like smoke and clouds.
She saw Gu An nodding to her with a smile, which flattered and startled her, so she hurriedly lifted her hand in salute.
Gu An did not approach but was escorted by the crowd toward the dojo, which made Zhu Xi breathe a sigh of relief. Facing Gu An in public still put a lot of pressure on her.
Now, she began to look forward to the upcoming life in Medicine Valley and the grand ceremony mentioned by the disciples of the valley.
“Gu An, up to this point, are you still unwilling to reveal who you are making an Immortal?” Lv Baitian asked with a smile as he walked beside Gu An.
The others followed with teasing comments. Although they were jesting with Gu An, they all maintained proper decorum, not daring to offend him.
Gu An pretended to be astonished and asked, “How did you all find out?”
“The news has already spread. Come on, tell me, who are you helping to become an immortal? Is it your disciple?” Lv Baitian urged.
Even the current Supreme Sect, when faced with the Immortal Path Realm, must make every effort to win them over.
The most crucial point was that Gu An was creating an Immortal, which holds a fatal attraction for a Sect.
If they could create one Immortal, they could create a second and third.
Moreover, they all felt that Gu An was about to elevate someone to Immortality in one go, not just giving them an opportunity to grow gradually.
Gu An laughed and said, “The ancient hour is nearly upon us, don’t worry.”
Lv Baitian was not content, but alas, no matter how much he pressed, Gu An refused to give an answer.
A figure flew from the horizon and swiftly landed in front of Gu An. It was none other than Lv Xian.
Wearing a vestment robe crafted by Li Xuandao, Lv Xian had an impressive demeanor, like an Immortal Lord descending to the Mortal World, causing the surrounding cultivators to subconsciously make way.
When Lv Baitian saw him, his eyes lit up, wondering if Gu An was about to elevate his son.
That would be fantastic!
“Gu An, come with me. Let’s talk. What’s there to discuss with these old geezers?” Lv Xian spoke disrespectfully, immediately causing quite a few people to frown.
Lv Baitian frowned and said sternly, “Presumptuous! Have you not learned any manners following Li Xuandao?”
As the crowd used sound transmission to communicate, their displeasure dissipated upon learning that Lv Xian was Lv Baitian’s son.
Lv Xian’s fame was no small matter, and he was among the top talents of the Supreme Sect.
Lv Xian, who had already reached the Mahayana Realm, had a presence even stronger than that of an ordinary Mahayana cultivator.
Lv Xian ignored Lv Baitian, grabbed Gu An, and started walking outside. Gu An could only apologize to the others before following Lv Xian away.
After they left, the crowd began to congratulate Lv Baitian. Although he gestured for them not to speculate wildly, the smile on his face could hardly be concealed.
An ancient hour later.
Everyone gathered in the bustling loft area of the Third Medicine Valley. Gu An stood on a hastily built platform, addressing the crowd.
Looking down from the platform, the place was bursting with people.
Zhu Xi, Xu Jie, Wu Jue, Shen Zhen, and others were also among the crowd, curious to see how Gu An would create an Immortal.
“I have prepared a grand ceremony for this Spring Festival. I thought I had hidden it well, but the news somehow spread. Yes, I am creating an Immortal,” Gu An said with a smile, followed by good-natured laughter from below. Long Qing maintained a solemn face, pretending not to know who leaked the news.
“Today, I want you all to witness the process of Transcendence and hope it helps with your future cultivation,” Gu An stated earnestly as he scanned the crowd.
He saw Ji Xiaoyu staring at him and even deliberately winked at her. Unfortunately, she did not respond.
At this moment, Ji Xiaoyu was simply curious about how Gu An was going to create an Immortal. She even wished he would just start and spare them the idle chat.
Gu An spoke at length before finally getting to the point. He simply said, “Bull Demon King.”
As soon as his words ended, the Blood Prison Great Saint immediately leaped onto the stage from the side, proudly stepping towards Gu An, enjoying everyone’s gaze.
The crowd below paid no attention to the Blood Prison Great Saint, assuming Gu An had called him up for something unrelated to Immortal Creation. After all, what did a Core Formation Realm demon creature have to do with becoming an Immortal?
