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

Gu An did not put all his strength into it, but it was enough to disperse the power within the giant wave and restore calm to the sea around the Sea Breaking Rift.

As for the calamity on the other side of the tidal wave, Gu An was too lazy to care. He did not believe that no one over there could stop the waves.

Even if Gu An did not intervene, he thought that there were powerful beings in the ocean capable of acting. It was just the timing was hard to gauge, perhaps after the Supreme Sect was submerged.

The facts turned out just as he had guessed.

Two days later, Gu An saw a mysterious Great Cultivator cast a spell to scatter the waves on the other side of the Sea Breaking Rift. Although it was not enough to make him apprehensive, he could confirm that person was the Carefree Primordial Immortal!

After dispersing the waves, that Carefree Primordial Immortal disappeared.

This land indeed hid many powerful figures. The higher the realm, the more mysterious they were, some like Gu An who had hidden in the city, while others secluded themselves in caves, ignoring worldly affairs.

Previously, Gu An had explored this land, and there were quite a few places he could not see through at a glance.

Three days later, news from the sea reached the Supreme Sect.

Sword Venerable Fudao acted and killed a powerful Divine Exotic Resentful Ghost, resolving the calamity!

Supreme Sect was instantly in an uproar, the news spreading quickly!

Gu An was still reading in the pavilion when he heard the disciples discussing it. He did not go downstairs but continued reading.

This intervention did not give him a sense of accomplishment. He thought he could be happy when the Sea Breaking Rift disappeared.

However, near dusk, an event occurred that left Gu An helpless.

It was that You Yingying, who had left a few days ago, had returned.

Upon her return, she immediately found Gu An and eagerly shared the situation she had learned, her tone full of admiration and respect for Sword Venerable Fudao.

She understood the situation more clearly. It was said that the Sea Breaking Rift erupted with waves that could sweep through Heaven and Earth, hiding a Divine Exotic Resentful Ghost that even the Star Sea Congregations could not deal with.

She also made a point of explaining the Divine Exotic Resentful Ghost, fearful that Gu An did not know how terrifying this thing was.

Gu An cooperated with her, showing nervousness when talking about the calamity and Divine Exotic Resentful Ghost. When she mentioned Sword Venerable Fudao, he became excited, greatly satisfying her emotional needs.

This event had a huge impact on You Yingying, and she had to find someone to talk to, preferably a Supreme Sect disciple.

She wanted the Supreme Sect disciples to be grateful and to know how strong Sword Venerable Fudao was!

Receiving Sword Venerable Fudao's favor, it seemed that Heaven favored the Supreme Sect!

If such a strong person lived in the Star Sea Congregations, how great would that be?

As Gu An listened, he felt something was amiss.

Why was she telling him this?

Could she have guessed that he was Sword Venerable Fudao?

For a moment, Gu An felt apprehensive towards You Yingying.

You Yingying had no idea of Gu An's thoughts. She just said whatever came to mind and never considered whether Gu An might be Sword Venerable Fudao.

After a long while, You Yingying, having fully vented her desire to share, left with a pleased heart.

Gu An watched her back, thinking it a pity he could not use this opportunity to shake her off.

Considering her great admiration for Sword Venerable Fudao, he decided to let her stay a bit longer.

In the following days, the entire Supreme Sect revolved around discussions of Sword Venerable Fudao, and with many Ocean Cultivators in the sect, news of the Divine Exotic Resentful Ghost also spread.

Indestructible and immortal, devouring Living Spirits!

Divine Exotic Resentful Ghosts were transformed from Living Spirits!

Just hearing this was terrifying!

It is worth mentioning that You Yingying went to the Outer Gate City every day to preach the might of Sword Venerable Fudao. She felt that some things needed to be clearly stated so that the Supreme Sect could more greatly revere Sword Venerable Fudao!

Every time Sword Venerable Fudao acted, the number of cultivators on the Heavenly Repair Platform increased dramatically.

This made Zuo Yijian, who guarded the Heaven-Cutting Axe, even busier, but he was not tired, rather he became more energetic and proud.

He now considered himself one of Sword Venerable Fudao's people.

After all, Sword Venerable Fudao had patted him on the shoulder!

Who could have such an honor?

Gu An observed numerous sects gathering above the Sea Breaking Rift, and from a glance, the number of cultivators already exceeded five million and was still growing. It seemed the Sea Breaking Rift had caused widespread panic in the ocean.

His gaze shifted upward, noticing more and more Heaven and Earth Flying Immortals arriving in the Great Heavenly Spirit Land.

Clearly, the major oceanic powers were calling in reinforcements.

This was a good thing!

However, Gu An recalled something: would the increasing number of cultivators providing support lead to a rise in Divine Exotic Resentful Ghosts?

He could only pray those sects could resolve the deep-seated trouble in the Sea Breaking Rift on their own.

He was not the protagonist of this Heavenly Destiny; he could not be relied upon to solve everything, right?

He thought it should not come to that; this land was filled with Immortal Spirit Dynasties, and there was a mysterious continent capable of resisting his Divine Sense with its Qi Fortune.

Furthermore, Gu An had also seen many transcendent powers before, none of which Star Sea Congregations or Seven Stars Spirit Realm could compare to.

Star Sea Congregations were rulers of the ocean, but there were many rulers.

With Gu An's realm, he could already glimpse the Qi Fortune of sects and forces, and from the strength of the Qi Fortune, the Supreme Sect was less than one ten-thousandth of the Star Sea Congregations, and the Star Sea Congregations were likewise less than one ten-thousandth of that Immortal Spirit Dynasty.

Gu An guessed those true first-rate powers of the world also had deployments in Outer Heaven; they could access more resources, nothing the Star Sea Congregations could compare to.

The commotion caused by Sword Venerable Fudao did not affect Gu An.

However, he began spending more time teaching Yang Jian.

Ever since he dispersed the waves, Yang Jian had been experiencing more frequent visions, seriously affecting his cultivation.

Once, while Gu An was instructing Yang Jian in his cultivation, Yang Jian suddenly fell into a daze. Gu An had to shake him awake, drenched in cold sweat. Yang Jian had seen himself being devoured, utterly powerless to resist, and the intense pain was not an illusion but a real sensation to his flesh.

Unfortunately, Gu An could not deduce the source of the visions through cause and effect.

Time passed day by day.

The year-end arrived, winter snow covered the land and mountains.

In the forest a hundred miles outside Mystic Valley, Gu An was instructing Yang Jian in the Limitless Freedom Step.

Yang Jian possessed high talent and comprehension, but Limitless Freedom Step was equally profound. Mastering it was challenging even for him.

After a maneuver, Yang Jian almost crashed into a tree, but he stabilized himself just in time.

He turned to look at Gu An, about to speak, but suddenly frowned.

He clutched his head with both hands and unexpectedly knelt in the snow.

Gu An sensed something was wrong and immediately used his mana to isolate this section of the forest, preventing any unusual occurrences from alarming the Supreme Sect.

He approached Yang Jian and placed his right hand on Yang Jian's shoulder, using his own mana to assist him.

In an instant, Gu An felt an unknown force of cause and effect attacking. He could resist, but he hesitated for a moment and pretended to be affected.

His mind was drawn into a mysterious Illusion Realm, with Yang Jian's consciousness present as well.

Yang Jian sighed in relief upon seeing his master's figure beside him.

He was about to speak but suddenly felt something and turned his head. Ahead, a pitch-black shadow appeared, walking out from the expansive snow, seemingly wearing some kind of armor based on its shape.

"Mystic Gang Dominator Body, a rare sight in a million years."

A cold voice echoed from the front, filled with greed. Listening closely, it seemed to swallow something, chilling those who heard it to their bones.
