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

"You can teach it to others too, but whether they can master it is hard to say. This cultivation technique requires a large amount of medicinal herbs to temper the body. I only taught it to you because you happen to have the Medicine Valley."

Ji Xiaoyu spoke, then she stood up and turned to leave.

"Just leaving like that?" Gu An couldn't help but ask.

"Got to go cultivate."

Ji Xiaoyu replied without turning her head. This time, after walking out of the room, she didn't close the door.

Gu An smiled to himself, muttering, "Still has the heart of a girl."

He didn't mind and put away the cultivation technique Ji Xiaoyu had written.

In fact, he had similar cultivation techniques. He had just asked casually just now.

The techniques that change one's physique often require a large accumulation of rare and precious items; having just the method isn't enough.

Gu An began to scan the entire Mortal World with his Divine Sense, looking for a suitable place to break through.

He couldn't imagine how much disturbance the upcoming breakthrough would cause, so he wanted to choose a place far away from living beings.

Referring to the commotion caused by his last breakthrough, Gu An was troubled.

He felt that wherever he chose to break through, it would alarm the surrounding forces and affect living beings.

His gaze suddenly fell on the Sea Breaking Rift, sensing the vast and dense spiritual energy within.

How about breaking through inside the Sea Breaking Rift?

This idea grew on him, and Gu An felt it might be worth trying.

Once I reach a lifespan of thirty million years, I'll go for the breakthrough!

...

In the grand hall, An Hao was meditating in a pool, his brows furrowed, feeling restless.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his vision filled with blood vessels, and everything around him was shaking violently, causing his mind to become hazy.

He vaguely saw a mass of black air rushing into the hall, quickly approaching him.

The black air landed by the pool and condensed into a human figure. An Hao wanted to stand up but found himself unable to.

"Flame Primordial Treasure Body, although cultivated later, surpasses the innate, remarkable."

A voice rang out. If Gu An and Yang Jian were here, they would surely recognize it as the voice of Impermanence Tian.

An Hao stared intently at Impermanence Tian. Despite being immobile, he showed no trace of fear.

The black air surged, revealing Impermanence Tian's handsome yet sinister face. He looked down at An Hao with a greedy smile.

"Supreme Treasure Body, you too were cultivated later," An Hao said calmly.

Impermanence Tian's pupils suddenly contracted. His eyes were filled with meaning as he coldly laughed, "It seems you are not simple. Perfect, I'll consume you, then go after the Mystic Gang Dominator Body."

An Hao sat in the pool, staring at him without making a sound.

"Make sure the Star Sea Congregations are ready. I want to see if today's Star Sea Congregations still have the might of their former days."

Impermanence Tian said this and then vanished like smoke.

An Hao suddenly awoke, gasping for air, his body regaining its senses.

He braced himself on the edge of the pool, his face drenched in cold sweat, but his eyes were full of ferocity.

"Supreme Treasure Body, why..."

An Hao muttered softly, his voice like the growl of a beast.

...

Two years passed by swiftly.

Gu An returned to the pavilion with freshly picked medicinal herbs. He checked his Attribute Panel and saw that he was just a hundred thousand years away from reaching a lifespan of thirty million years. He smiled.

Once I reach thirty million years, I'll break through!

Gu An sat down at his desk, starting to imagine what realm lay beyond Carefree Primordial Immortal.

After a while, a figure walked in briskly, and a fragrance filled Gu An's nose, pulling his Divine Sense back.

Shen Zhen approached the desk, took out a book, and placed it on the desk with a proud smile, "Take a look!"

Gu An immediately picked up the book on the desk and began to read through it.

The more he read, the more his brows furrowed.

Seeing this, Shen Zhen became nervous and asked, "Is it very bad?"

This book was a novel, clearly imitating **Journey to the West**. The protagonist was also a demon, needing to take risks and travel far to find the Immortal Path Supreme Treasure that could fulfill wishes.

Objectively, it was pretty good.

Gu An just felt regretful.

Shen Zhen had reformed!

Gu An suddenly felt that he was being unreasonable. When Shen Zhen was writing, he found it annoying; now that she wasn't, he felt regretful.

"It's pretty good, keep it up." Gu An closed the book and returned it to Shen Zhen, speaking casually.

Shen Zhen, seeing his dismissive attitude, clenched the book tightly in her hand.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came.

Ji Xiaoyu, dressed in white, walked up. At eighteen, her temperament was even more outstanding. Her features had fully matured, her eyes captivating, and a red thin line on her forehead made her even more stunning.

Shen Zhen looked back and was also captivated by Ji Xiaoyu's appearance.

Although Ji Xiaoyu had been in the Third Medicine Valley for years, the two women had never met. Shen Zhen had not come back for many years.

Ji Xiaoyu's gaze fell on Shen Zhen, appraising her carefully.

Suddenly, Shen Zhen laughed, turned to Gu An, and asked, "Gu An, do you not like this kind of book and only like to read the Supreme Secret Records?"

Gu An's expression changed drastically, he quickly said, "How could that be? I like this kind of book. What Supreme Secret Records, I haven't read those!"

He shot Shen Zhen a meaningful look.

Shen Zhen immediately placed the book in her hand on the desk, saying, "Then can you read it carefully? I'll quiz you next time."

"Of course, I like it a lot. I'll definitely be able to recite it backward," Gu An said seriously.

Shen Zhen gave Gu An a look that said "smart move" and then left.

As she passed Ji Xiaoyu, she nodded with a smile, making Ji Xiaoyu frown.

Ji Xiaoyu walked to the desk and softly asked, "Is she threatening you? Tell me, I can help you settle it."

At eighteen, she had already reached the eighth floor of the Foundation Establishment Realm. She was very confident in her abilities.

Gu An laughed and said, "Not at all. I've known her for over a hundred years. She just likes to bicker with me. Let's not talk about her. Why are you here?"

Ji Xiaoyu looked at Gu An and said, "I'm planning to leave for a while. I have some matters to attend to back at the Ji Family."

"Go ahead. Do you need me to take you to see the Vice Sect Leader?"

"Yes."

Ji Xiaoyu nodded, and Gu An immediately stood up.

He had been to the main city of the sect and knew where Ji Hantian lived.

Now he could go anywhere in the Supreme Sect, but he preferred to wander around the Outer Gate City.

The disciples of the Outer Gate City were easier to get along with. Inner Sect disciples had a bit of a distance, and the disciples of the main city were all filled with arrogance. As a Core Formation Realm disciple, most people in the main city looked at him with a strange gaze.

Along the way, Gu An and Ji Xiaoyu chatted casually. Although their words were not very frequent, they said whatever came to mind. Even if there was silence, it didn't feel awkward.

An hour later.

Gu An and Ji Xiaoyu arrived at the gate of the Ji Mansion. Gu An stopped and said, "Go ahead."

Ji Xiaoyu nodded and walked toward the gate.

Gu An turned and left. Ji Xiaoyu stopped and watched him leave, her brows furrowed, lost in thought.

Gu An could naturally feel her gaze. He didn't dare to look back, fearing she would inquire about the Supreme Secret Records.

In this life, Ji Xiaoyu was more suspicious than in his previous life, especially after their relationship grew closer. Whatever she was curious about, she would find a way to understand.

After arriving at the Inner Sect City via the Transmission Array Platform from the main city of the sect, Gu An suddenly sensed strong battle energy to the south, with an aura surpassing most Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal.

Near Carefree Primordial Immortal, but still a bit short!

His Divine Sense quickly probed, his expression becoming peculiar.

Why is it him?

Gu An suddenly thought of something and instantly understood. He didn't stop and continued walking.

He walked along the street, looking at the disciples coming and going.

Many years had passed, and there were now quite a few demons among the Inner Sect disciples, marking the initial integration of the Human Race and the Demon Clan.

Gu An continuously performed life span detection, incidentally checking the disciples' karma along the way. This was his habit, and also his enjoyment.

...

Boom—— Experience new stories on мѵʟ

Deafening explosions sounded outside the hall. An Hao was meditating in the pool, his brows furrowed.

There were more than a dozen great cultivators standing in the hall, both men and women, each with an extraordinary presence. Chi Bei, who brought An Hao into the Star Sea Congregations, and Chi Jiuxiao were also there.

"How is this guy so strong? Can he really break into the Star Sea Congregations?"

"After all, he is the Divine Exotic Ghost King. If he had no true ability, he would have been killed long ago."

"It's really outrageous, daring to come to our Star Sea Congregations to capture someone!"

"Hmph, fortunately, the Sect Hierarch is here. We don't need to worry."

"Even so, his momentum is a bit exaggerated..."

Listening to the discussions of the sect's elders, An Hao's face looked grim.

He didn't expect Impermanence Tian to be so arrogant, actually daring to forcefully break into the Star Sea Congregations!

He could feel the pressure from Impermanence Tian growing stronger, indicating that the enemy was getting closer and had already locked onto him.

At the same time, outside the palace.

The blue sky whipped up a strong wind, stirring the sea of clouds into a massive vortex in the sky. The floating islands below seemed insignificant like specks of dust.

The cultivators of each floating island flew out, bringing out their magic artifacts, ready for battle.

The doors of An Hao's palace opened, and everyone walked out, including An Hao.

"The Sect Hierarch is here!" A female cultivator said excitedly.

The other great cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.

From the swirling clouds in the sky emerged glimpses of a flag. A streak of light fell from it, swiftly landing at the cliff's edge in front of An Hao's palace.

As the light dispersed, a man in a wide white robe appeared, draped in flowing clouds, with various jade pendants of different shapes hanging from his belt that swayed in the wind. His broad back exuded an imposing aura, even though he had his back to An Hao and the others, his aura that reached the sky astounded them.

Great Mingtian, the Sect Hierarch of the Star Sea Congregations, Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal Realm!

His countenance was stern, his long beard fluttering, and his eyes carried a fierce light. His long hair was tied under a crown adorned with small flags. He raised his right hand, and one of the flags flew out, quickly enlarging as it landed in his hand.

This flag was none other than the Immortal Path Supreme Treasure, the Star Sea Primordial Unity Banner!

Stars glimmered on the banner, emanating a vast and majestic aura.

"Star Sea Primordial Unity Banner, it has been a long time!"

Impermanence Tian's cold laughter filled the air. As his voice echoed, a massive black rift suddenly tore through the sky, stretching hundreds of miles as if the sky had been cleaved by a sword, spectacular yet terrifying.
