Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Chapter 417: Chapter 417: Why Don't You Just Say You Are the Divine Thought True Immortal?



The Primordial Daoist Talisman continuously unleashed the power belonging to the Reincarnation Path Emperor, causing Ji Xiaoyu's Divine Sense to rapidly strengthen.

Whether it was Ji Xiaoyu or the Nine-Finger Divine Lord, both understood that the competition in Go was about the power of calculation. Precisely because of this, they felt unwilling to accept that Gu An, with his lower Cultivation Level, could continually win against them.

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord, sensing Ji Xiaoyu's aura quickly strengthening, secretly felt shocked.

More and more Great Cultivators were attracted to the scene, and even Shen Xinzi and Long Qing came over.

Gu An and Ji Xiaoyu played speedily, full of murderous intent, causing the surrounding people to hardly dare breathe.

A figure appeared out of thin air beside Ji Xiaoyu; it was the Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor, who looked at the Go board, frowning, wanting to speak but stopping himself.

An Xin and You Yingying also walked over, watching the Go match from within the crowd. Even those with lower Cultivation Levels could feel Ji Xiaoyu's increasingly strong

momentum.

You Yingying looked at Ji Xiaoyu, secretly surprised, her curiosity about Ji Xiaoyu's background deepened; she had only heard that Ji Xiaoyu came from the Ji Family.

Ji Xiaoyu was definitely the most mysterious existence in the Third Medicine Valley; she was always in seclusion and only had a good relationship with Gu An.

An Xin was equally curious about Ji Xiaoyu's strength. Knowing Ji Xiaoyu was powerful, and Gu An had said she had Talent not inferior to An Hao, how could she not be curious?

As Ji Xiaoyu's momentum continued to soar, thunderclouds surged over from the horizon, violently churning, darkening the sky rapidly, with the sound of thunder echoing.

Disciples in the valley looked up one after another, abuzz with alarm, and even disciples from other cities of the Supreme Sect and Medicine Valley were drawn by the anomaly.

"What's going on?"

"Is someone undergoing Tribulation Crossing?"

"It seems the commotion comes from the dojo, feel it carefully; there is a momentum that is quickly strengthening."

"Indeed, many people are running there; shall we go have a look too?"

"What's there to be afraid of? In the Supreme Sect, we wouldn't even fear if the sky fell!"

The valley disciples discussed among themselves, many rushing toward the dojo, wanting to see exactly what was happening.

Holding a white stone, Gu An looked at Ji Xiaoyu and asked, "Is it necessary to go to this extent?"

Once the power of the Primordial Daoist Talismans was used too much, it would trigger expulsion by the Reincarnation Rules; Gu An could see Ji Xiaoyu's Life Span was decreasing.

Ji Xiaoyu lifted her eyes to look at him and said, "I must defeat you at least once to have no regrets; fighting it out on the Go board is pretty good."

Gu An stared at her and laughed, "Even so, I will not admit defeat. In my life, I've never truly lost, and if I ever lost, it could only be to myself."

Unable to restrain himself, the Nine-Finger Divine Lord spoke, "You really like to put on an act; anyone who doesn't know might think you're Sword Venerable Fudao."

Gu An glanced at him and said, "How can a defeated dog bark so boldly? I'll crush you shortly."

The Nine-Finger Divine Lord's face turned red with anger, yet he didn't know how to retort. The other spectators found it amusing but didn't dare to offend the Nine-Finger Divine Lord.

The Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor, looking at Gu An's play, had an increasingly odd expression.

He didn't stop Ji Xiaoyu's thinking. For him, he served the Reincarnation Path Emperor, not Ji Xiaoyu.

He couldn't wait for Ji Xiaoyu to recover into the Reincarnation Path Emperor!

The two continued playing Go. Ji Xiaoyu's style was sharp and fierce, making frequent killing moves, but Gu An always managed to counter them.

The onlooking crowd secretly marveled; they too enjoyed Go and had their own studies, able to recognize the high level of Ji Xiaoyu's play, and each move's attack and strategy surprised them.

Yet, despite that, Gu An always managed to resolve Ji Xiaoyu's every aggressive move. His play was not as overpowering as Ji Xiaoyu's, but it gave off an undefeatable momentum.

Boom!

A clap of thunder resounded beneath the storm clouds, startling many.

Looking at the Go board, Ji Xiaoyu's face was cold, her eyes filled with a compelling force, and the momentum of her moves continued to strengthen.

In contrast, Gu An looked composed, his speed of play neither hurried nor slow.

Time quickly passed.

As time went on, Ji Xiaoyu's moves became slower and slower.

With the strengthening power of the Primordial Daoist Talisman, her calculation speed increased. However, no matter how much she sped up, she couldn't turn the tide of attack, and the pressure mounted with each move made, even giving her the feeling that she could not defeat Gu An.

Ji Xiaoyu lifted her eyes to Gu An and saw the smile on his face, out of place compared to the furrowed brows and intense tension of the onlookers; the player seemed as calm as the gentle wind and clouds.

The more confident he was, the less sure Ji Xiaoyu felt inside.

Could it really be that she would be forced to reveal her true self?

Ji Xiaoyu frowned, a shade of hesitation flickering in her eyes.

Suddenly, Gu An made his move, his voice clear, "Let's stop here, you've lost."

Ji Xiaoyu's frown deepened, and as she was about to speak, Gu An raised his hand and drew the

Go containers toward him.

Before Ji Xiaoyu could react, Gu An waved his right hand, and the Go stones from both containers sprang out, black and white stones successively landing on the board.

Everyone was taken aback, not understanding what he was doing.

Ji Xiaoyu looked at the Go board, her expression rapidly changing.

The expressions of the Nine-Finger Divine Lord and the Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor

also turned odd.

As the black and white stones continued to fall, with other stones rising, the path played by the black stones appeared no different from when Ji Xiaoyu personally played.

After ten breaths, no more stones fell, and the situation on the board was decided, with white

winning.

The others also realized: had Gu An simulated Ji Xiaoyu's play?

They were all Cultivators with extraordinary memories, unlike ordinary people, recalling the

situation of the previous moves. The higher the Cultivation Level, the quicker their

expressions changed.

Their gazes toward Gu An were filled with disbelief.

Could he really calculate that?

Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor had the highest cultivation level, and he covertly

compared them. The Go strategy simulated by Ji Xiaoyu was very strong; if it were him, it wouldn't have been easy to win.

Nine-Finger Divine Lord looked at Gu An, opened his mouth, but ultimately, he couldn't utter

a word.

Gu An looked toward Nine-Finger Divine Lord and asked with a smile, "Fancy a game?" Nine-Finger Divine Lord's expression turned serious, "Forget it, another day maybe. Today's game was very impressive, it gave me a lot to ponder, I need to comprehend it well."

Gu An laughed; this senior's tone was perfectly captured.

He looked toward Ji Xiaoyu and asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Can't handle losing?"

Ji Xiaoyu took a deep breath and turned to Gu An, "I lost."

The Innate Daoist Talisman within her began to stabilize and her imposing aura dissipated.

She stood up and walked to the side.

Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor took the chance to sit down, "Let's play a game!"

Gu An looked at him and asked, "Do you even know how to play?"

"How could I not? I've played here a few times before," Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor

glared at Gu An, annoyed, feeling that the kid was too arrogant.

Ji Xiaoyu came to Gu An's side, her eyes complex, wondering about something. Nine-Finger Divine Lord, having seen Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor once before,

always thought him to have profound and unfathomable cultivation. He became interested, wanting to see if Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor could beat Gu An.

Faced with the challenge from Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor, Gu An naturally wouldn't

refuse.

The two quickly got down to the fight.

The others continued to watch the battle.

An hour later.

Gu An stood up, looking down at Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor under Ji Xiaoyu's

shocked gaze, "Go is not as simple as you think."

The surrounding disciples immediately cheered. They were unclear about Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor's identity, but inside the Third Medicine Valley, they definitely

supported Gu An.

Nine-Finger Divine Lord, Shen Xinzi, and several other Immortal Dao Great Cultivators looked at the Go board, finding it hard to snap back to reality for a long time.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor trembled all over, his face full of disbelief.

"How is this possible..."

Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor muttered to himself, unable to believe that he lost.

Seeing Gu An turn around, he immediately stood up and asked sternly, "Stop right there, who

are you really? You're not Gu An!"

When he said this, everyone followed suit in looking toward Gu An, including Shen Xinzi and Nine-Finger Divine Lord.

Long Qing couldn't help but say, "What do you mean? Losing to my master and throwing a fit

out of anger?"

Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor stared intently at Gu An's back, "My cultivation is above the Immortal Dao Fourth Layer Heaven. Do you think he can beat me just like that? The Go

strategies I can calculate are beyond what a Mortal Spirit can imagine!"

Above Immortal Dao Fourth Layer Heaven?

Above Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal?

Even Nine-Finger Divine Lord and Shen Xinzi were startled, their gazes at Sun and Moon

Netherworld Emperor turning to fear.

Gu An turned to the side, looking contemptuously at Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor, "Immortal Dao Fourth Layer Heaven? Why don't you just claim you're a Divine Thought True Immortal?"

Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor's face changed drastically, and Ji Xiaoyu's expression also shifted. She looked at Gu An, feeling he was very unfamiliar.

Gu An stared at Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor, "Since you're aware I'm stronger than you, how dare you speak to me like that while hiding in my residence?"

His tone was indifferent, yet it exuded an immense pressure.

The disciples discovered for the first time that their master could be this intimidating. However, they had never heard of Divine Thought True Immortal. Even Nine-Finger Divine Lord and Shen Xinzi were pondering what realm Divine Thought True Immortal was. Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor's face turned extremely ugly, his heart beating wildly as

he faced Gu An's gaze, feeling even more nervous than if he were causing trouble in the Holy

Court.

"You are..." Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor said through gritted teeth, but the words 'Sword Venerable Fudao' were impossible to pronounce.

Gu An turned around and said to Ji Xiaoyu with a smile, "Let's go, back to the room to talk."

Ji Xiaoyu nodded subconsciously and then followed him away.

Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor stood in place, staring as they left.

The others exchanged glances, all filled with confusion.

Long Qing approached Shen Xinzi, asking in a low voice, "Master, what realm is Divine

Thought True Immortal?"

Shen Xinzi did not answer. He too wanted to know the answer to this question. Nevertheless, one thing was clear to him: Divine Thought True Immortal was above Heaven

and Earth Flying Immortal, and Gu An was most likely even stronger than a Divine Thought

True Immortal; otherwise, how could he have frightened Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor into such a state?

An Xin was the only one not surprised, only excited.

She too wanted to display her powers in front of others like her master had. Her motivation

for immortal cultivation grew stronger, and she immediately turned and left to practice diligently.

On the way to the loft, Ji Xiaoyu looked at Gu An, her heart filled with a thousand words to say. "Have you awakened your memories from a past life?" Ji Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask. She had previously speculated that it could be a reincarnation of the Free Immortal, and now

she was even more certain of this, otherwise how could Gu An suppress Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor?

As for whether Gu An could be Sword Venerable Fudao, she didn't think it was likely.

Sword Venerable Fudao had taken action more than once; reincarnators who utilized their true form's power would be expelled by the Reincarnation Rules.
