Chapter 72: Chapter 72: The Reincarnation of Great Power, The Name of Gu An [Seventh Update]

Elder Tian mentioned Lv Xian, which led the disciples to ask questions eagerly, wanting to know what kind of person this number one genius truly was.

Li Ya also took note of this name and decided that he must defeat Lv Xian during the Hundred Clan Conference to prove his own talents.

That night, the Third Medicine Valley was lively, and Elder Tian became talkative, occasionally bursting into laughter.

As dawn just broke, Li Ya bid farewell to Gu An.

“I’m leaving, wait for my name to be known all over the world!”

Watching Li Ya’s departing figure, Gu An suddenly felt some envy. Li Ya was always so vibrant and full of fighting spirit, while Gu An tended to overthink everything, cautious and indecisive.

However, just thinking about the miserable state in which Li Ya had been injured, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but lift upwards.

It’s okay to envy, but not to emulate!

After Li Ya had left, the disciples of the Third Medicine Valley continued their labors. With the growing territory, it required daily patrols.

Gu An returned to Mystic Valley and after checking the various gardens, he flew towards Tianya Valley.

On the way, he found a place and secretly sacrificed five years of his lifespan to enhance his cultivation level, then continued on his journey.

Upon arriving at Tianya Valley, Gu An entered through the mouth of the valley, walking up the slope where he saw Yi Liuyun and Lv Xian sparring.

Lv Xian wore a red robe with flowing long hair. At first glance, he could be mistaken for a woman. Holding a large fan shaped like a gourd, he effortlessly countered Yi Liuyun’s sword moves. The two moved through the air, equally matched.

Yi Liuyun had suppressed his cultivation level, otherwise Lv Xian would have been no match for him.

Gu An couldn’t help but perform a Lifespan Detection on Lv Xian again.

[Lv Xian (Core Formation Realm, Level 1): 75/480/4900]

Reached Core Formation by thirty, but then no breakthroughs in cultivation for the next forty-five years?

If not for the maximum lifespan of 4900 years displayed there, Gu An would have found it difficult to acknowledge him as the Supreme Sect’s top genius.

Apart from Ji Xiaoyu, who possessed the Primordial Daoist Talisman, a lifespan limit of 4900 years was definitely the strongest human talent Gu An had seen.

Lv Xian did not look injured; perhaps like Wuxin, he had practiced some extraordinary technique?

Sun Da, Sun Er, and Sun San quickly ran towards Gu An, very excited because Gu An usually brought them tasty treats.

Although they were demons and had been captured by Luo Hun, Gu An did not disdain them, so they shared a good relationship.

“This is a fifth-tier Spirit Fruit, you can only eat one each, don’t fight over them.”

Gu An took out three watermelon-sized crimson fruits and placed them on the ground, letting the three Monkey Demons choose for themselves.

He then walked towards a garden area; today was another harvest day.

As his medicine valley continued to expand, he now had the opportunity to pick daily, and he thoroughly enjoyed his current life.

After he had finished picking, Yi Liuyun and Lv Xian also stopped their sparring. Both landed, and Yi Liuyun began to critique Lv Xian’s performance, which Lv Xian received humbly.

“Senior Yi, when will you cross tribulation? I am waiting for you to challenge Sword Venerable Fudao.” Lv Xian asked expectantly, his tone serious as if he truly believed Yi Liuyun could defeat Sword Venerable Fudao.

Yi Liuyun hesitated, “At most half a year. I will go to the Tribulation Crossing Valley of the Supreme Sect to cross the tribulation then. As for challenging Sword Venerable Fudao, we’ll see.”

Since his visit to the Heavenly Repair Platform, he had discarded the idea of contending with Sword Venerable Fudao.

The gap was too vast.

Facing such Sword Intent, he couldn’t muster even the slightest desire to fight.

Lv Xian raised an eyebrow, his delicate, almost feminine face showed a look of anticipation as he continued to persuade, “Just try, what if you win? Once you reach the Void Crossing Realm, your Sword Intent will naturally transform. You’ll definitely have the strength to fight, and even if you lose as the first person to challenge Sword Venerable Fudao, your name will resonate throughout the world.”

Passing by, Gu An really wanted to make a sarcastic remark.

Lv Xian was truly deranged. Ever since he arrived in Tianya Valley, he had been urging Luo Hun to challenge the top spear practitioner of the Supreme Sect, and he had urged the three Monkey Demons to challenge nearby third-level Great Demons.

And it was not just occasionally; whenever he encountered someone, he would urge them.

If he was genuinely combative, Li Ya wouldn’t have remained unaware of his reputation.

“I’ll think about it,” Yi Liuyun frowned.

Upon seeing Gu An, Lv Xian immediately approached, enthusiastically putting an arm around Gu An’s shoulder and said with a laugh, “Valley Master, I feel you are no ordinary person either. How about aiming for the position of National Master? I can teach you spells, just let me know what you want to learn.”

Gu An responded, “I’ve said many times, I don’t want to compete for anything, I just want to tend to my plants and flowers.”

“How could that be? Every person has a fame they wish to achieve.”

“Then what fame are you trying to achieve?”

“Naturally, to be the best in the world.”

“Then why not spend the time you use persuading others on cultivation?”

“I don’t need to cultivate; I’ll be unbeatable eventually.”

“Then you’re incredible.”

What a bragger!

Dare to speak of being unbeatable in front of me?

Gu An suddenly had an idea and said with a chuckle, “I heard you’re participating in the Hundred Clan Conference. If you manage to become the champion, I’ll learn your spells.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“I didn’t want to participate, but since you say so, just wait, I’ll leave tomorrow.”

After saying this, Lv Xian headed towards his dwelling.

As Gu An watched his retreating figure, he truly couldn’t fathom this person.

Yi Liuyun came over and transmitted his voice, “Don’t provoke him too much. Ever since he formed his core, he easily falls into dreams when he cultivates—sometimes he dreams he’s the Emperor, other times he dreams he’s a dominating Sword Emperor in the Mortal World, and he even dreams he’s the Demon Emperor. According to him, in every life, he could reach the pinnacle in the Mortal World.”

What kind of problem is this?

Could he possibly be a reincarnated Great Power?

Gu An immediately dared not underestimate Lv Xian, fearing the worst-case scenario. This person might really be of great importance.

The next morning, before Gu An left, Lv Xian had already departed, which made Gu An even more eager to attend the Great Assembly of the Hundred Tribes.

The Hidden Dragon List was a contest for geniuses under a hundred years old. It was unclear whether Zhou Tongyou, Ji Xiaoyu, Li Ya, or Lv Xian would stand out as the leader.

Before Lv Xian returned, Gu An decided to advance his cultivation level to the ninth level of the Unification Realm.

He would secretly compete with these geniuses in their rate of growth!

…

By noon, when Gu An returned to Mystic Valley, he sensed a familiar presence staying in his attic.

Along the way, he greeted Wuxin and then headed upstairs.

Upon entering the house, Gu An saw Ye Lan sitting at his desk, holding a book.

Oh no!

Gu An closed the door, walked over to the desk, and took the book from her hands, saying sternly, “It’s improper for a young lady to read such books.”

Since the incident at the Outer Sect, Ye Lan seldom visited him, spending most of her time training outside. Now, she had been promoted to a deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall, holding a certain status and power.

Ye Lan looked at Gu An and smiled, “I heard from Zhen Qin that you usually enjoy reading ‘Green Hero Travelogue.’ I wanted to see what type of books you like.”

“I don’t know about ‘Supreme Secret Records,’ but don’t listen to Zhen Qin’s nonsense; this is slander. ‘Green Hero Travelogue’ was left by our master. I haven’t read it, nor destroyed it. It’s merely kept as a memento.”

“Is that so?”

“When have I ever deceived you, Sister?”

“Humph.”

Ye Lan took out a book from her storage bag and threw it on the table.

Gu An glanced at it, his eyelid twitching.

Supreme Secret Records!

How has this book become so popular?

Ye Lan looked at Gu An and spoke solemnly, “Brother, I saw the protagonist’s name was Gu An and thought it was a coincidence. Now, after flipping through ‘Green Hero Travelogue,’ I feel it’s not a coincidence anymore. Tell me the truth, did you write ‘Supreme Secret Records’?”

“How is that possible, I don’t write books! I only love tending to various plants!”

“Hehe, you think I would believe that now? Brother, even if you wanted to read, could you not choose ‘Investiture of the Gods’ or ‘Supreme Immortal Venerable’? They are much better than such vile books that could affect our Daoist heart.”

“It really isn’t me who wrote it…”

Gu An felt wronged, all thanks to Shen Zhen!

Suddenly, Ye Lan stood up, scaring him into stepping back, but she circled the desk and came up to him, raising her right hand.

About to hit someone?

Gu An felt a headache coming on.

Fortunately, Ye Lan wasn’t there to hit him, but to straighten his robe, her head slightly lowered as she spoke softly, “Brother, if you really like this kind of stuff… I could try to find a dual… cultivation method, I could join you…”

Gu An saw that her ears were red.

He quickly stepped back, breaking away from her hand, and said sternly, “Junior Sister, don’t joke around like this. If you continue, I will…”

Ye Lan looked up at him with a burst of laughter, covering her mouth.

“Look at you, making me out to be a flood beast. Alright, no more jokes. I’m here for another matter, concerning your disciple Su Han.” Ye Lan’s face turned serious as she spoke.

Gu An furrowed his brows and asked, “What about him?”

“Do you know his family’s swordsmanship, named ‘Hateful Heaven Divine Sword’?”

“I have some recollection. Is there a problem with that swordsmanship?”

“Yes, it’s not his family’s swordsmanship, but the forbidden swordsmanship of the Sword Sect of the Great Yu Dynasty, not to be shared with outsiders. Su Han often used the Hateful Heaven Divine Sword when he was training outside, killing too many opponents, and eventually someone recognized the sword skill.

The influence of this incident has been quite significant; I’ve heard that the Sword Sect is already preparing to capture Su Han.”

“That bad?”

Gu An was moved. Could Su Han really create a scene like a novel’s protagonist with his talents?

Ye Lan nodded and said, “I’ve already sheltered Su Han in the Law Enforcement Hall, but if the Sword Sect arrives, the Law Enforcement Hall definitely won’t be able to protect him. After all, they are a Great Sect and the Supreme Sect won’t risk offending the Sword Sect for the sake of one Outer Disciple.”

Gu An thought for a moment and then said, “I will think of a way.”

Ye Lan reassured him, “If it’s too much trouble, then just let it be. You can’t protect him forever. I told you because I wasn’t sure how important he is to you. I didn’t want you to feel regretful later.”

Gu An nodded, then praised Ye Lan for considering things very thoroughly.

Ye Lan didn’t stay long. After she had left, Gu An transported himself to the Third Medicine Valley, and then went to visit Shen Zhen.

Since Shen Zhen tarnished his reputation, he needed her help.

Previously, Shen Zhen had invited him to her cave, so he knew how to find it.

After 30 minutes, Gu An entered Shen Zhen’s Cave.

“It’s rare indeed for you to come seeking me out,” Shen Zhen said, smiling. In her cave, without a veil, her stunning beauty was fully revealed, sweet and alluring.

She was holding a pen dipped in ink, and Gu An looked up to see papers plastered all over the walls.

This wench…

Why is she drawing?

Gu An quickly averted his gaze and said, “My disciple is in trouble, related to the Sword Sect of the Great Yu Dynasty. Can you help?”

“The Sword Sect? No problem, they must give Daotian Sect respect!” Shen Zhen declared boldly.

Gu An then related the whole situation to her.

Shen Zhen frowned, hesitantly said, “There seems to be a problem…”
