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

Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Invincible across the Supreme Sect



"Awoken past life memories? I suppose that's one way to put it."

Gu An turned to Ji Xiaoyu with a smile and answered, having indeed recalled many memories from his past life.

Ji Xiaoyu, upon hearing this, had a complex look in her eyes.

She could sense that Gu An had chosen to end the chess game early because he feared she was expending too much vitality. As a result, Gu An had also been forced to reveal his cultivation level. Her mood was a mix of various emotions.

Surprise, astonishment, reluctance, concern, regret, and more swirled within her.

Gu An saw through her thoughts, raised his shoulders with a smile, and said, "Don't be dissatisfied; we can play chess again in the future, and you'll have more opportunities."

"I fear I may not have much time left..." Ji Xiaoyu murmured in a low voice.

Gu An turned his head to look at her and asked, "So, what do you want to do with the remaining time?"

Ji Xiaoyu was the Reincarnation Path Emperor, and the Reincarnation Path Emperor was Ji Xiaoyu; it was only the differing memories that caused her fleeting emotional turmoil.

Gu An could transfer the memories of this life of Ji Xiaoyu to another person, but that wouldn't separate Ji Xiaoyu from the Reincarnation Path Emperor.

Because there is only one soul.

Moreover, memories and experiences can influence one's character, but one's true nature is determined at birth.

Ji Xiaoyu understood this as well, so she never thought about breaking away from the Reincarnation Path Emperor. Her disquiet stemmed from her inability to imagine how her will would return to her original self after this life ended, as she couldn't feel the emotions from her past life memories when recalling them.

"What do I want to do? Indeed, I need to give it some thought," Ji Xiaoyu mused.

Gu An offered no suggestions, letting her think for herself.

The two returned to the house, while back in the dojo, the Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor disappeared from sight, and the onlookers gathered to discuss the chess game that had just ended.

Shen Xinzi looked toward Gu An's loft from a distance, took a deep breath, and said, "Your master is no ordinary person."

Long Qing, who stood nearby, couldn't help but roll his eyes at the remark. As if I couldn't see it for myself!

Long Qing's feelings were equally complicated.

He was close to Gu An, always regarding him as a father, but in his heart, Shen Xinzi was stronger.

To cultivate with Shen Xinzi, he had spent a significant amount of time with him, which resulted in less and less time spent with Gu An.

Yet, the scene just now showed Gu An's aura even overpowering that mysterious Great Cultivator.

That was someone even more formidable than Immortal Dao Fourth Layer Heaven!

Did this mean that Gu An could be stronger than his master, Shen Xinzi?

Long Qing suddenly felt this to be absurd, even hard to accept.

If this were true, why didn't he cultivate with Gu An from the beginning?

Long Qing's gaze shifted to An Xin, who was walking away in the distance. Suddenly, he thought that An Xin might know something.

He must ask!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

How could someone so close to him hide such a cultivation level? What did it all mean?

The altercation between Gu An and the Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor became known in the days that followed, and the words Divine Thought True Immortal remained in people's memories.

Three days later.

Lv Baitian and Ji Hantian came to find Gu An; he received them, asking them to sit while he went to pour tea.

"Is it true that a being with a cultivation level above the Immortal Dao Fourth Layer Heaven has appeared in Medicine Valley? And that you managed to suppress them?" Lv Baitian couldn't help but ask, his expression tense.

His first reaction to the news was disbelief, but when his subordinates claimed to have witnessed it, he had to take it seriously.

Currently, the Supreme Sect did not have a Great Cultivator of the Immortal Dao Fourth Layer Heaven to rely on. Sword Venerable Fudao did not count, for no one knew his cultivation level.

Now, not only had the Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal phenomenon occurred, but his most promising, Gu An, allegedly could suppress such an existence?

Impossible!

Lv Baitian found the notion ludicrous, even suspecting that his own training had gone wrong, trapping him in an Illusion Realm.

Ji Hantian's feelings were similar - with Ji Xiaoyu originating from a Ji Family house servant, no matter what kind of fortuitous encounters he'd had, it was impossible for him to be so

powerful.

"Since you're already aware, why ask me?" Gu An responded casually. When he had attained the Xuan Yuan Zizai Xian, he decided he no longer needed to disguise himself as before, as long as he did not reveal his true strength.

Even the Immortal Dynasty and Holy Court wouldn't suspect that Sword Venerable Fudao surpassed the Zizai Xian, and by two whole Great Realms at that.

The strongest of them, Shengtian, was still striving to reach the Taoist Hidden Immortal.

Hearing Gu An's words, Lv Baitian and Ji Hantian's eyes widened as they instinctively looked at each other.

Ji Hantian signaled Lv Baitian with a glance, and after hesitating for a moment, Lv Baitian subtly nodded.

Immediately after, Ji Hantian suddenly stood up and swung his palm towards Gu An, who had his back to him.

But as soon as he moved, he was immobilized, unable to take a step, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.

Gu An turned around, holding two cups of tea and walked toward Ji Hantian.

As their eyes met, Ji Hantian's were filled with disbelief.

As Gu An approached him, he sensed an incredibly terrifying presence, as if Gu An's aura could

crush him.

"If there's a next time, you'll die even if I don't lift a finger," Gu An stated flatly, looking at Ji Hantian without emotion.

Ji Hantian was drenched in cold sweat.

Lv Baitian hurriedly stood and said, "He only wanted to test you; he had no intention of

harming you."

He too was terrified, looking at Gu An with fear in his eyes.

With such momentum, it was absolutely an Immortal Dao existence!

Without any exaggeration, Lv Baitian had never in his life felt such a powerful aura. As for the terrifying beings like Sword Venerable Fudao and Immortal Lord Qiu Xi, their presence was directed towards heaven and earth, far from Lv Baitian. This time, it was a face-to-face

feeling.

Gu An retracted his aura and placed two cups of tea on the table.

He sat down casually, then leaned back in the chair, looking at Lv Baitian and the other person, asking, "Now that it's confirmed, what are you going to do next?"

His tone was casual and he didn't emit an overwhelming aura, but it paradoxically brought an almost suffocating pressure to Lv Baitian and his companion.

They had never imagined this young man could possess such spirit.

At the same time, they pondered over Gu An's words, unable to determine his attitude.

Was Gu An hiding his strength, or did he not mind revealing it?

Should they help Gu An with the aftermath?

Gu An was not in a hurry, waiting for them to think.

Seeing Gu An not rushing them, the pressure on the two men increased, and they even began

to sweat profusely on their foreheads.

Lv Baitian looked up at Gu An, somewhat dazed.

The Gu An that he had tried to take care of and favored over the years turned out to be so

powerful.

He suddenly thought of something.

Could it be that Gu An was very strong from the beginning?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Since he had met Gu An, he had never

seen him panic. The young man seemed to fear nothing, no matter how tough or treacherous

the path.

A pursuit of a simple life could be because he was strong enough to have seen the splendor of

the world.

Could he be Sword Venerable Fudao?

Once this thought occurred to him, Lv Baitian startled himself.

He looked at Gu An, meeting Gu An's seemingly smiling gaze.

Lv Baitian broke into a cold sweat as he thought about his actions over the years and the

suggestions Gu An had made. Many things finally clicked together.

No wonder he said that he would never reach the Unification Realm in this lifetime...

It turned out that he simply held the Unification Realm in contempt...

Ji Hantian didn't think that much; he was just puzzled as to why Gu An was so strong.

After all, Gu An was a house servant of the Ji Family. Ji Hantian had investigated Gu An early

on and was certain of Gu An's true identity.

Could it be that the current Gu An was not the same person he knew and had been replaced by a

Great Cultivator?

That was the only possibility!

How could a junior of over seven hundred years old be so powerful?

Even An Hao had not necessarily stepped into the Nirvana Realm to this day!

Lv Baitian took a deep breath and said, "Regarding your cultivation level, we won't disclose it

and won't disturb your life."

Ji Hantian came back to reality and quickly echoed him. No longer did he bear his usual haughtiness; in front of Gu An, he appeared scared and apprehensive.

Gu An thought to himself that even if they had said something, it wouldn't matter, but the

quietness was welcome. He spoke, "Drink the tea. This tea is a long-treasured favorite of

mine."

The two men nodded hastily, following up by picking up their tea, but their hands were trembling.

Thirty minutes later, the two men walked out of the attic, with Gu An coming out to see them

off.

Long Qing, who was chatting with the Blood Prison Great Saint, turned his head to look and

saw the Sect Leader and Vice Sect Leader bowing and scraping to his master, which caused him

to frown.

Gu An watched as the two left and then turned to Long Qing with a smile. Without waiting for

Long Qing to speak, he went straight back into his room and slammed the door shut with a

bang.

Long Qing opened his mouth, realizing that his master was intentionally avoiding him. It was understandable; remembering how he used to boast about how strong his second master was in front of his master made his face burn with embarrassment.

Elsewhere. Lv Baitian and Ji Hantian were traveling on clouds, conversing in low voices. "What should we do from now on?" Ji Hantian asked, his expression complex. He truly didn't

know what to do with Gu An; they could no longer treat him as a subordinate, but given their past relationship, he felt awkward about trying to flatter Gu An directly.

Lv Baitian looked towards the horizon and replied, "Pretend as if we know nothing of this,

and from now on, treat well those who have a good relationship with him. After all, he has worked diligently for the Supreme Sect, and those who are on good terms with him must also have made significant contributions to the Supreme Sect. The Supreme Sect cannot let them go unrewarded."

After hearing this, Ji Hantian's eyes lit up; he couldn't help but admire Lv Baitian. Indeed, there is a difference between the Sect Leader and the Vice Sect Leader!

In the days that followed, the rumors about the Third Medicine Valley were suppressed, but in

the hearts of the disciples in the valley, Gu An had become a mysterious Great Cultivator; they

worked even harder, hoping to gain Gu An's favor.

Time flew by. During the autumn.

Ye Lan and Zhen Qin came to find Gu An; the two women climbed upstairs and entered the

room.

"Master, we're now Elders in the Hall of Elders of the Sub-sect. Nowadays, in the Sub-sect, we're second only to one and above ten thousand!" Zhen Qin said excitedly. Although this had been decided for several months, every time she brought it up, she was ecstatic.

Gu An raised his eyebrows, surprised, "That impressive?"

Ye Lan, on the other hand, stared at Gu An and asked, "This must have something to do with

you, right? No matter how great our achievements are, with our cultivation levels as they are, it's nearly impossible to enter the Hall of Elders."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Qin turned to look at Gu An, thinking he would either be modest or deny it. Instead, Gu An answered, "Perhaps someone wants to curry favor with me."

At that, Zhen Qin's eyes widened, and she asked in astonishment, "Who could use two seats in

the Hall of Elders to curry favor with you?"

Gu An proudly said, "I'll be honest with you, I'm very strong now. Without any exaggeration, I could defeat anyone in the Supreme Sect; from now on, you can walk sideways if you like."
