Chapter 43: Do you know what's above the Spiritual Transformation Realm?
"My master guesses that the Heaven Extinction Sect's Silent Evil Demon Monarch is coming!" Ye Lan said solemnly.
Gu An frowned and asked, "Why do you think so?"
"Last night, the Spirit Qi of the outer sect was sucked dry, and it even affected the inner sect. Plus, Lin Futian of the Thousand Yin Sect was killed by the Flying Leaf Sword Immortal. All these things together prove that the Demonic Path is preparing to besiege the Supreme Mystery Sect. Draining the Spirit Qi of the outer sect is the first step of their plan. Looking at the Demonic Path, only the Heaven Extinction Sect's Silent Evil Demon Monarch can do this. His Heaven Devouring Demonic Art is said to be able to make all life within a thousand miles disappear." When Ye Lan said this, her eyes revealed fear.
This …
Gu An choked.
He was the one who killed Lin Futian, and last night's incident was also his doing …The Demonic Path took the blame for him?
Although Gu An became a spy for the Thousand Autumn Pavilion, he still didn't think of himself as a Demonic Cultivator.
He thought for a moment and comforted, "Junior Sister, don't worry. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. The Supreme Mystery Sect is the number one sect of the Tai Cang Empire. Even if the Demonic Path attacks, how difficult would it be to shake the Supreme Mystery Sect?"
Ye Lan took a deep breath and looked at Gu An with a determined look. She gritted her teeth and said, "Senior Brother, let's go far away. I'm already in the Foundation Building Realm. We can hide in an uninhabited mountain forest and cultivate. I'll help you build your foundation!"
Gu An almost couldn't hold it in.
Good heavens, you want to take the opportunity to pledge your life to me?
Gu An said helplessly, "Junior Sister, you're exaggerating. How can there be an absolutely safe place in this world? If we hide in the mountains and meet a Core Formation Realm Demonic Cultivator, how can we deal with it? You're just guessing. I don't think the Demonic Path will attack. "
"If the Demonic Path really wants to besiege the Supreme Mystery Sect, shouldn't they be here now? They've made so much noise and haven't made a move yet. Could it be that they're giving the Supreme Mystery Sect time to gather the great cultivators outside? "
Hearing this, Ye Lan felt that it was reasonable.
She thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you follow me to the outer sect to lie low for a while?"
Gu An said seriously, "Junior Sister, you really don't have to worry about me. Don't let me affect your cultivation. Remember, if you really care about me, then work hard to become stronger and take care of me in the future. This is also for your own good. If cultivators don't focus on their cultivation, sooner or later, they will encounter a time when they are powerless."
Ye Lan was ashamed. She felt that she had indeed been too anxious.
"Junior Sister, I'm now at Mortal Realm Stage 9, it won't be easy for a normal demonic cultivator to kill me!" Gu An laughed proudly.
After Ye Lan heard this, she burst out laughing. She quickly covered her mouth and said, "Senior Brother, how can a Devil Cultivator who dares to sneak into the Supreme Profound Sect be a Qi Refining Stage cultivator? Lin Futian, who died before, is said to be a Nascent Soul Realm old monster. "
Gu An snorted, "What? A Nascent Soul old monster doesn't need to lift a finger to kill me? "
"Yes, yes, yes. Senior Brother is the best." Ye Lan smiled. The tension in her heart was also diluted.
After that, Gu An asked about the situation in the outer sect. Ye Lan didn't hide anything and told him everything.
It wasn't until evening that Gu An sent her off.
Originally, he planned to improve his cultivation and spells tonight. But when he heard that the outer sect had entered a state of war, he didn't dare to act rashly.
There was still a doubt in his heart.
If the nearby Spirit Qi was sucked dry and he continued to break through, what would the consequences be?
He estimated that the lifespan enchantment would devour the Spirit Qi further away. If that was the case, the Supreme Profound Sect wouldn't be able to sit still.
…
For the next three days, Gu An stayed in the Xuan Valley. He didn't even go to the Bajing Grotto-Heaven.
Haolong had already started to cultivate. It was fine even if it didn't eat meat for many days. Moreover, he had prepared a batch of ripe Dark Vine Fruits in advance. When it was hungry, it could eat them.
Gu An and Haolong's souls resonated, so Haolong could remember everything he told him. Since birth, Haolong hadn't caused any trouble for him. It was a child that made him feel at ease.
On this day, at night.
Gu An was reading in the attic. With the best quality Five Elements Celestial Spirit Root, he could absorb all the Spirit Qi within a radius of ten feet with a casual breath. Moreover, the efficiency of converting it into Spirit Qi was extremely high.
Because the Spirit Qi in the outer sect was still recovering, he couldn't cultivate and had been restraining himself.
Suddenly, Gu An felt something and his expression changed slightly.
He didn't get up but continued to read.
After half an hour, a figure appeared outside his window. That person quietly opened the window and jumped in.
Gu An immediately used a lifespan inspection.
[Fu Xiong (Second Level of the Foundation Establishment Realm): 160/198/240]
After encountering Li Xuandao and Lin Futian, Gu An relied more on lifespan inspection. After all, there were too many sixth brothers in the cultivation world.
Fu Xiong looked to be about fifty years old. He wasn't tall and wore black clothes. His eyes were dark and his eyes were like an eagle's. He gave off a very shrewd feeling.
He stood up, looked at Gu An, and asked, "Are you the Valley Master?"
Gu An frowned and asked, "I am. Who are you?"
Fu Xiong didn't answer. Instead, he sized him up. After a few breaths, he suddenly said, "Eternal Dark Vine Heart Regrets!"
Gu An was silent.
He had already spread out his Divine Sense and confirmed that Fu Xiong came alone.
He reluctantly replied, "It's hard to find the root of all things …"
Hearing this, Fu Xiong's expression softened. He walked to the table and sat down as if he had returned to his own home. He poured tea for himself and asked, "Where is Cheng Xuandan? Is he dead? "
Gu An nodded and said, "Master has already left. May I know why you are looking for me?"
"Do you know the whereabouts of the Eternal Dark Vine Tree?" Fu Xiong drank a cup of tea and then asked. As he spoke, he glanced around the room.
In addition to books, there were all kinds of herbs wrapped in protective paper in this room.
Gu An saw that he didn't seem to really care about the Eternal Dark Vine Tree, so he asked, "What is the Eternal Dark Vine Tree?"
When Fu Xiong heard this, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Gu An again. He asked, "Didn't your master tell you?"
Gu An shook his head.
"The Eternal Dark Vine Tree is the sacred tree of the Qianqiu Pavilion. As early as two hundred years ago, we sent someone to bring a Eternal Dark Vine Tree to the Taixuan Sect. However, as time passed, the clues were lost. We don't know where the Eternal Dark Vine Tree is hidden," Fu Xiong said with a frown.
More than two hundred years ago?
Gu An frowned and thought to himself. Could it be that Jiang Qiong was hiding something from him?
Fu Xiong sighed and said, "To be honest, my master is about to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm. The tribulation is too dangerous. I want to find the Eternal Dark Vine Fruit to help him."
Gu An asked curiously, "What is the Spiritual Transformatiom Realm?"
"Above the Foundation Establishment Realm is the Golden Core Realm. Above that is the Nascent Soul Realm, and above that is the Spiritual Transformation Realm." Fu Xiong smiled and stroked his beard as if he was the one who was about to break through to the Apotheosis Realm.
"Is the tribulation of the Nascent Soul Realm dangerous? I heard that the Nascent Soul Realm is equivalent to an immortal! "Gu An said with a shocked tone.
"What immortal? It's still too early. From the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Golden Core Realm, one needs to go through the tribulation. It is very dangerous. The higher the realm, the more dangerous the Thunder Tribulation is. My master has been preparing for it for ten years." Fu Xiong said with a yearning look on his face.
Gu An asked, "What do you need to prepare? Can't you go through the tribulation directly? "
"How is that possible? To go through the tribulation, you have to prepare pills to maintain your spiritual power and heal your injuries. You also have to have a formation to support it. You have to prepare several sets of Dharma Artifacts. I have never heard of anyone who can go through the tribulation directly."
Fu Xiong glared at Gu An, thinking that his question was too stupid.
After hearing that, Gu An felt much better.
Fu Xiong suddenly smiled and said, "I see that you have a lot of herbs in your Medicine Valley. Why don't you take me as your master? I will support you in the future and teach you spells. In return, you will give me thirty percent of your harvest every year. How about that?"
Gu An frowned again.
Fu Xiong said in a low voice, "Kid, my master, your grandmaster, is in the inner sect. When he breaks through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm, he will definitely become an elder. By then, you can get whatever you want!"
Gu An's eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "Senior's master can become an elder of the inner sect. Doesn't that mean that he has been hiding for many years? Why doesn't he know the whereabouts of the Eternal Dark Vine Tree?"
"It's a long story. Let's talk about the matter of taking me as your master first." Fu Xiong said in a low voice.
Gu An hesitated and asked, "Is this senior's master's idea?"
"How is that possible? Even my master doesn't know that I came to this Medicine Valley. Kid, you are just a servant disciple. Who is my master? How can he notice you?" Fu Xiong was very displeased.
Gu An stood up and looked down at him. He asked, "One last question."
Fu Xiong frowned and said in a low voice, "What question?"
He really wanted to kill this kid in front of him. What a load of nonsense!
"Do you know what's above the Spiritual Transformation Realm?"
"What?"
Fu Xiong was stunned and then became furious. How could he know what was above the Spiritual Transformation Realm? He felt that Gu An was playing with him.
Just as he was about to get up, Gu An's right hand was already on his head.
He looked up and saw that Gu An's face was so cold. His eyes were shining with a cold light, and his temperament suddenly changed.
At this moment, Fu Xiong felt that he was facing his master.
No, even his master was not this scary!
He wanted to open his mouth, but his mind soon went blank and his eyes lost focus.
Gu An was using the Soul Assimilation Technique. He couldn't learn it before, but now that he had the best Five Elements Celestial Spirit Root, he understood it immediately.
Maybe he wasn't very familiar with it, but it was enough to deal with Fu Xiong.
He used his spirit energy to suppress Fu Xiong, and his divine sense forcefully entered Fu Xiong's mind to search.
An hour later, Fu Xiong was dead.
Gu An opened his eyes again and let out a sigh of relief.
This guy really didn't know the whereabouts of the Ancient Vine Tree, and his master didn't send him here.
Gu An moved his right hand up and lifted Fu Xiong into the air. Spirit energy fire poured out from his palm and started to burn him.
He closed his eyes, not daring to watch this cruel scene.
The spirit fire of the Ascension Realm was very powerful. In less than four breaths, Fu Xiong turned into ashes, leaving only a storage bag. He had successfully taken four years of life.
Gu An checked it and took out all the herbs and spirit stones. As for the artifacts and talismans, he didn't dare to touch them. He burned them together with the storage bag to prevent people from tracking them here.
The next morning, Gu An went downstairs as if nothing had happened.
When the disciples gathered to practice, he felt guilty.
Damn it, I acted like a devil!
Gu An continued like this until a month later, when no Thousand Autumns Pavilion cultivators came to find him, he was relieved.
On this day, Du Ye suddenly came to find him, and the two of them talked face to face in the attic.
"Third Miss has mastered the Qilin Steps, and the patriarch is very happy. He wants to celebrate with Third Miss. At the same time, there will be a banquet in the inner sect. My Ji Family's servants must attend and help to welcome the guests. Ten days later, I will wait for you in front of the Outer Sect Law Enforcement Hall. In these few days, prepare a batch of herbs as a gift. Maybe Third Miss will appreciate it." Du Ye said seriously.
Gu An nodded and made a decision in his heart.
Tonight, I will spend a lot of life on the Eight Direction Steps!
Let's see how powerful Ji Xiaoyu's Qilin Steps is.
