Chapter 28: Flying Leaf Slays the Enemy, Such Dominating Sword Qi

Chan Ji ignored Li Ya and fixed her gaze on Li Xuanyu, her smile sinister. “Li Xuanyu, weren’t you the pride of the heavens? How did you end up in such a sorry state? It seems you and your brother from the Li family are no match for us.”

Xu Ruye stepped forward, heading toward Li Ya.

Li Xuanyu suddenly threw her sword, and as it flew through the air, the blade split into four sword shadows, all striking toward Xu Ruye.

Xu Ruye reacted swiftly. With a wave of his...

Chapter 27: The Wan Yin Sect, Xu Ruye

The Grand Outer Sect Tournament?

Geniuses from various sects gathering at Tai Xuan Sect?

Including disciples from Thousand Autumn Pavilion?

Gu An listened with great interest. Such a grand event would surely be spectacular, though he felt a bit worried. Would any cultivators from Thousand Autumn Pavilion use this opportunity to find him and force him to provide information about Tai Xuan Sect?

Chen Li and the others continued their conversation, shifting the top...

Chapter 26: The Grand Outer Sect Tournament

"What is it?" Gu An asked, silently praying it wasn’t something troublesome. He had no desire to get involved in the vortex of conflict within the Outer Sect.

Li Ya smiled and said, "You like farming, don’t you? I remember you mentioned before that you’ve helped a certain Outer Sect disciple manage his cave residence. Now, there’s an opportunity for you. The compensation is decent—work for a year and you’ll earn one mid-grade spirit stone plus a bottle of Spiritual Qi...

Chapter 25: Have You Heard of the Nascent Soul Realm?

Crack—

A shriveled foot stepped out of the coffin, landing on a piece of charcoal and snapping it in half.

Gu An saw that it was a disheveled woman, her hair a tangled mess, and her body frighteningly thin, as if all the flesh had been drained from her. Her tattered clothing revealed a faint image of a white robe, though her sleeves and pants were torn. She staggered out, resembling a vengeful ghost.

Jiang Qiong slowly lifted her face, which was equally emaciated. H...

Chapter 24: Jiang Qiong at Core Formation Ninth Layer

As spring turned to autumn, five years passed in the blink of an eye.

During these five years, Gu An continued his plan of investing one year of lifespan every night. Over time, he invested more than 1,800 years of lifespan, pushing his cultivation to the eighth layer of the Nascent Soul realm.

After surpassing the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul realm, the time required for each subsequent small breakthrough increased exponentially. Even during the evolutionary process, Gu...

Chapter 23: The Soul-Shaking Bell and Yin-Yang Art

In the mountain forest, Gu An couldn't withstand Li Ya’s insistence and ultimately performed a clumsy set of the Li family’s Seven Swords technique. Only then did he realize that pretending to be inept was far harder than pretending to be proficient.

Faced with Gu An’s stiff swordplay, Li Ya criticized him for quite some time before patiently teaching him how to properly practice swordsmanship.

Through Li Ya’s moves, Gu An could tell that he had already begun practi...

Chapter 22: Two Thousand Years of Evolution, The Tai Cang Divine Shocking Sword

"That won't do, how can I take the sword your mother left for you?" Gu An immediately waved his hand in refusal. He was being honest; a sword with such a history was bound to come with trouble.

Li Ya lowered his eyes, gazing at the sword's scabbard as he drifted into memory: "This sword is called Heavenly Solemn. It has been with me since I was three years old, but I can no longer wield its full power. Besides, I’m no longer qualified to use it. It’s better to leave it with y...

Chapter 21: Li Ya Returns, The Divine Sword of the Li Family

As soon as Gu An took the first bite of the Ancient Vine Fruit, he felt a warm energy flow into his stomach, warming his entire body.

It’s working!

He immediately began to eat in large mouthfuls, and before long, the large Ancient Vine Fruit was completely devoured.

While digesting, Gu An called up his status panel, eagerly awaiting the lifespan increase.

However, he waited for half an hour, and his lifespan didn’t increase at all!

His blood and vitali...

Chapter 20: Spiritual Roots' Transformation, Ascension to the Nascent Soul Realm

The night sky was still, with the occasional cry of birds piercing the silence. The mountain forest lay in quiet darkness.

Gu An sat in meditation within the Lifespan Barrier, enjoying the moonlight.

Tonight's moon was beautiful, reflecting his current mood perfectly.

His cultivation had already reached the fourth layer of the Core Formation Realm, and the end was in sight.

He planned to keep pushing until he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm. After that, ...

Chapter 19: Lifespan Barrier, Breaking Through to the Core Formation Realm

Inside the Eight Views Heavenly Cave, the glowing fruits of the Ancient Vine Tree cast light upon the cave walls, while the reflection of the underground river shimmered on the walls, giving the cave an ethereal and serene beauty.

Standing under the Ancient Vine Tree, Gu An placed his hands on his hips and gazed at the areas he had planted. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"You reap what you sow!"

The true romance he pursued was cultivating immortality while fa...

Chapter 18: Ten Thousand Gu Mysterious Technique, Seven Thousand Years of Lifespan

After the cave entrance completely closed behind him, Gu An continued down the tunnel.

With his divine sense at the seventh layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he could walk through the tunnel as though it were daylight, encountering no obstacles. The tunnel gradually widened, seemingly endless.

Gu An grew more curious about Cheng Xuandan’s master. What kind of extraordinary person could have created such an immense underground passage?

The tunnel twisted d...

Chapter 17: Becoming the Valley Master

Gu An had truly underestimated the range of the White Spirit Mouse's movements. He had followed it for over ten miles, and yet the little creature still hadn't stopped.

The further they traveled from Xuan Valley, the less enthusiastic Gu An felt.

Though he had visited the Outer Sect before, it had been just a single route.

Venturing more than twenty miles away from Xuan Valley made him uneasy, even though his cultivation had already reached the seventh layer of the Fo...

Chapter 16: Seventh Layer Foundation Establishment, Mystery in the Forest

After Gu An invited him, Wu Xin did not say a single word all the way out of the Servant Hall. From start to finish, he only nodded once.

Gu An began to suspect he had recruited a mute.

For Wu Xin, becoming a servant disciple as soon as possible was his top priority. Gu An made a good first impression, so Wu Xin agreed immediately.

The reason Wu Xin was in such a hurry to become a servant disciple was that he was actually a demonic spy.

He came from the demonic ...

Chapter 15: Thousand Autumn Pavilion, Master of Xuan Valley

"Gu Poison? Master, you..." Gu An feigned fear as he asked.

Could Cheng Xuandan also be planning to act against him?

Without turning back, Cheng Xuandan pushed aside the branches blocking the path and bent down to walk through. As he moved forward, he spoke, "Meng Lang's aptitude was only slightly better than yours, but not by much. Even with my medicinal support, it would have been difficult for him to reach Foundation Establishment. Medicine Valley only needs one heir, an...

Chapter 14: Daily Plan, Gu Poison

"Fast leg techniques?"

Xiao Chuan, Lu Jiujia, and Ye Lan all had a slight change in expression. Simultaneously, they thought of Gu An, but none of them looked at him; instead, they kept their doubts to themselves.

Meng Lang asked, "What do you mean? You didn't defeat that demonic infiltrator?"

Hearing this, Shi Yang’s expression turned sour.

He took a deep breath and said, "Indeed, we were no match for him. My cultivation is at the fifth layer of the Foundatio...

Chapter 13: All I Remember is His Quick Leg Techniques

Gu An wasn’t particularly thrilled by his rapid breakthrough. He remained on high alert, worried that someone might arrive unexpectedly.

The Tai Xuan Sect was vast, and within a hundred miles of the Medicine Valley, it was rare to see a soul. Surely, his breakthrough wouldn’t disturb any major cultivators, right?

Just as Gu An was thinking this, he suddenly sensed two powerful auras approaching from a distance, even stronger than Chu Jingfeng’s had been.

The ver...

Chapter 12: Foundation Establishment, Storms in the Night

Seeing Gu An subdue Meng Lang with just one kick, Xiao Chuan, Lu Jiu Jia, and Ye Lan were beyond excited.

Usually, Meng Lang would boast about being the strongest in the Medicine Valley, but now he had been driven mad and forced to his knees with just one leg from their Senior Brother!

No wonder Senior Brother Gu is the one and not Meng Lang!

Master has sharp eyes!

Gu An looked down at Meng Lang, who was kneeling before him, and said, "Still not waking up?"

Chapter 11: The Ji Family's Secret Technique

After exchanging a few casual words with Xiao Chuan and Lu Jiu Jia, Gu An walked toward his own courtyard, pulling out The Adventures of the Green hero from his sleeve, eager to savor the illustrations.

Just as he reached the courtyard, Ye Lan approached him.

"Senior Brother, I want to learn the Remnant Wind Kick too!" Ye Lan huffed, her face puffed up in frustration.

Gu An naturally closed the book and asked with a smile, "What happened? Did your Senior Brother Meng ...

Chapter 10: Alchemy, A Jade and A Promise

Gu An made an effort not to dwell on Cheng Xuandan's thoughts, focusing instead on watching the valley entrance to guard against any potential enemies.

He stood watch the entire night.

It was nearly dawn when Gu An quietly returned to his room.

Though he wanted to check the battlefield, he feared it might be a trap and chose to remain patient.

The addition of Ye Lan and Lu Jiu Jia brought more vitality to the Medicine Valley. The two of them dragged Xiao Chuan a...

Chapter 9: The Life of a Senior Disciple

Seeing Gu An's concern for him, Zhang Chunqiu felt deeply comforted.

As he prepared to leave the valley, Zhang Chunqiu realized that the person he would miss the most wasn’t his master but his junior brother, Gu An.

Gu An was just too obedient, too honest.

Zhang Chunqiu, much like Li Ya, worried about Gu An and feared that he might be bullied in the future.

"I’ve been in this Medicine Valley for forty years, it’s time to leave. My aptitude in cultivation i...

Chapter 8: Divine Wood Pure Yang Technique, The Position of Senior Brother

Gu An didn’t immediately invest lifespan into his cultivation for fear that it would cause too much commotion, as it had when he practiced the Dragon Force Divine Essence Art.

"I’ll wait until tonight!" he thought.

By then, even if there was a disturbance, Cheng Xuandan and Zhang Chunqiu would probably be too scared to leave their rooms.

Night fell quickly.

Gu An waited until Meng Lang had gone to rest before pulling up his attribute panel.

He focused ...

Chapter 7: Three Thousand Years of Lifespan, Danger Resurfaces

When Gu An spotted Chu Jingfeng, Chu Jingfeng also saw him.

Gu An was about to quicken his pace to greet him, but Chu Jingfeng leaped into the air, soaring several zhang high. He flew over the hillside and landed gracefully in front of Gu An like a wild goose.

"You must be Gu An. I have some questions for you," Chu Jingfeng said in a low voice.

Gu An, feigning nervousness, bowed respectfully and replied, "Yes, senior. Please ask your questions, and I will answer truth...

Chapter 6: Such a Wealthy Outer Sect Disciple

Gu An caught the manual, feeling a subtle sense of unease. Although he had known for some time that Li Ya would eventually leave, hearing it confirmed made him feel a bit reluctant.

In this Medicine Valley, he only had two friends. After all, he didn’t have much to talk about with Cheng Xuandan or Zhang Chunqiu.

Li Ya was far better company than Meng Lang—Meng Lang was a complete animal!

"You’re about to reach Foundation Establishment?" Gu An asked.

Using ...

Chapter 5: That's It?

The night was quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Leaning against the wall, Gu An silently cursed—why was his heart beating so fast?

For some reason, although he couldn’t hear anything outside, he had an unsettling feeling that the Demon of Greed and Rage was approaching his room.

His eyes kept darting between the door and the window. Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the door and window, shining so brightly it was terrifying.

The White Spirit Mou...

Chapter 4: The Demon of Greed and Rage

It was noon.

Gu An, Meng Lang, and Li Ya stood in front of the wooden fence surrounding a section of the garden. Meng Lang curiously stared at the white-furred mouse in Gu An's hand.

Li Ya muttered, "This should be a White Spirit Mouse. They're attracted to heavenly treasures rich in spiritual energy and are thus known as treasure-hunting mice. You could say it's barely a spirit beast."

Meng Lang, intrigued, asked, "What's the difference between a spirit beast and a d...

Chapter 3: Evolving Cultivation Technique, Dragon Force Divine Essence Art

Both Meng Lang and Zhang Chunqiu were also surprised by Li Ya's choice, but they said nothing.

Cheng Xuandan gave Li Ya an approving look, nodding slightly. "Not bad. You have good judgment, and you’re not impulsive."

With a wave of his right hand toward the nearby table, three cultivation manuals appeared. He gave Zhang Chunqiu a meaningful glance, and Zhang Chunqiu immediately began distributing the manuals.

Throughout the whole process, Gu An didn’t even have a...

Chapter 2: A Thousand Years of Lifespan

Spring came and autumn went. The Medicine Valley of the Tai Xuan Sect passed through an uneventful year as the seasons changed.

The door of a pavilion opened, and the sixteen-year-old Gu An, Meng Lang, and Li Ya stepped out of the room. They turned back to bow toward the inside of the house, and then Meng Lang closed the door.

The three of them breathed a collective sigh of relief and walked down the stairs.

Once they returned to their courtyard, Meng Lang couldn't he...

Chapter 1: Seizing Life

Under the scorching sun, the sky was clear, the mountains surrounded the area, and the world seemed to tremble. The forests swayed, and a gust of wind blew through the valley, bringing a refreshing breeze to Gu An, who stood in the garden.

Gu An wiped the sweat from his forehead, his gaze fixated on the vibrant flowers and plants blooming on the ground. Each one was brightly colored, showing no signs of wilting despite the intense sunlight.

On either side of him stood a you...

Chapter 278: The Ambush and Counter-Ambush, Zhao Xing’s Backup Plan!

"Assassins arrived in Mingyue Prefecture ten days ago?" Zhao Xing froze for a moment, surprised by the startling news.

Understanding the gravity of the situation, he didn’t hesitate and immediately agreed, "King Tianyan, I’ll return to the prefectural capital right away."

After ending the Earth Mirror communication, Zhao Xing closed his eyes and entered his Memory Palace.

"It’s already late April, yet King Liang’s Hidden Fortune Dragon Rankings has opened earl...

Chapter 277: The Fortune Rankings and Creation Disk, An Ambush!

"Grand disciple, how did you manage to get those two to follow your instructions?" True Lord Tianyang asked curiously.

At this moment, Zhao Xing held two tokens in his hands.

One had Sima Yunhai’s name engraved on the front and Xuantian Academy engraved on the back.

The other had Pang Yuanren’s name on the front and Shangluo Academy on the back.

"Sima Yunhai is a typical Shennong from the Heaven School. He’s devoted to the people and takes the well-being o...
