Gu An sent lifespan checks to the thirteen figures in the woods one after another, and found that the cultivation of these thirteen people was the same, all at the third level of the fusion realm, and the same age. All of them were surnamed Li. Gu An couldn't help but think of the Thirteen Li of the Nine Netherworlds who had shocked the world of immortal cultivation before. What did this group of people do in Taixuanmen? There were still several years before the Golden List Conference. Seeing that they were not moving fast, Gu An did not rush to stop them, wanting to see what these guys were up to. The big coffin attracted Gu An's attention. His spiritual sense probed into the coffin and found a skeleton. The skeleton exuded a strange feeling, and there was a dark golden crown on the head. The gems on it had disappeared, leaving grooves one by one. Even so, it looked extraordinary. About half an incense stick of time passed. The thirteen figures stopped together, and Li Shouyou, who was in the front, turned around and waved his hand. The four people carrying the big coffin put it down and began to open the coffin. As soon as the coffin lid was opened, a hand suddenly pressed the coffin lid.
The thirteen people all looked at the end of the coffin, only to see Gu An standing with dark purple demonic energy all over his body, and his right hand was pressing the coffin lid. The forest fell into silence. The thirteen people did not run or attack, and the other twelve people all looked at Li Shouyou. They were all black, like ghosts, and their true faces could not be seen, and their emotions could not be judged. Li Shouyou nodded slightly, then knelt down, and seeing this, the other twelve people followed suit. "Nine Nether Thirteen Li pays homage to the Sword Master of Fudao!" Li Shouyou said in a deep voice, his voice was not loud, but his words were clear. Gu An was surprised, these people came to him specially? No wonder they acted strangely, not like an invasion. Gu An said: "Give me a reason not to destroy you." These thirteen people should be ghost cultivators, with ghost energy lingering around, but still have human blood and vitality. Li Shouyou replied, "We are the Thirteen Demons of the Nine Netherworlds. We are here on the orders of the Epiphyllum Ghost Mother to present the Immortal Crown to the Sword Master Fudao and help the Sword Master regain his immortal status on land!" Epiphyllum Ghost Mother? Gu An was even more surprised. The Epiphyllum Ghost Mother's cultivation was one level lower than that of the Thirteen Demons of the Nine Netherworlds. How could she command these people? "Why?" Gu An asked. He did not feel the hostility of these thirteen people, which meant that they might not be lying. Li Shouyou replied, "This is the order of the Ghost Mother. She has been comprehending your sword intent for many years in Taixuan Sect and found that you should have mastered the Taicang Jingshen Sword. This sword technique was promoted by the Li family, the royal family of the Taicang Dynasty. But in fact, this sword technique was not created by the ancestor of the Li family, but by the Immortal King of the Tanhua Sect, who is the ancestor of the Ghost Mother." "That is why the Ghost Mother came to the Taicang Dynasty, wanting to find the inheritance of her ancestors before the Tanhua Sect destroyed the Taicang Dynasty. Two hundred years ago, the Ghost Mother came here, but unfortunately the descendants of the Li family had mediocre qualifications and no one could comprehend the Taicang Jingshen Sword, so the Ghost Mother could only lie dormant." Gu An's Taicang Jingshen Sword did come from the Li family, but he did not expect that the ancestor of the Li family was related to the Tanhua Sect.
"Does your Ghost Mother want to get the Taicang Jingshen Sword?" Gu An asked. Li Shouyou replied, "The Ghost Mother wants you to return to the Tanhua Sect and regain the position of the leader of the Tanhua Sect with the sword intent of the Taicang Jingshen Sword!" After hearing this, Gu An fell into silence. What kind of routine is this? Driving the tiger to swallow the wolf? Gu An pushed open the coffin lid with one palm. He found that the coffin was quite hard and contained a lot of prohibitions. It was probably a magic weapon. His eyes fell on the bones in the coffin. Although lifeless, the bones were very evil. To be safe, he still threw a life probe at it. [Evil Emperor (Fiveth Level of Mahayana Realm): 7600/9999/9999] Good guy! It can still be probed, and the maximum life span is exactly the same as An Hao. Gu An did not change his face. He jumped up and landed on the edge of the coffin, looking down at the bones of the Evil Emperor. Jiuyou Thirteen Li immediately knelt down and said nothing. Gu An's eyes suddenly widened, and two cold lights burst out of his eyes. Boom! The bones of the Evil Emperor were instantly smashed to pieces and turned into powder. Only the Immortal King Crown was left lying in the coffin, and the bottom of the coffin was also pierced by the broken divine light. Jiuyou Shisanli looked up, just glanced, and then lowered his head. A prompt appeared in front of Gu An: [You successfully seized the 320-year lifespan of the Evil Emperor (the fifth level of the Mahayana Realm)] Gu An was relieved. Damn! I was almost scared to death! Who would have thought that this skeleton was still alive, and had the cultivation level of the fifth level of the Mahayana Realm! At this moment, Gu An thought of many possibilities, and he even felt that he had solved a disaster for the people. The name of the Evil Emperor is not a good thing. And he pretended to be dead and hid in the coffin, which obviously hid a shocking conspiracy. Gu An raised his hand and took the Immortal King Crown into his hand. He did not grab it with his bare hands, but used spiritual power to attach to the Immortal King Crown to avoid contact with his flesh. He looked at Li Shouyou and asked, "Do you know the Evil Emperor?" Hearing this, Li Shouyou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "To be honest, this skeleton is the skeleton of the Evil Emperor. Five thousand years ago, there was a civil strife in the Epiphyllum Sect. The Evil Emperor was attacked by a villain and poisoned. His spiritual power could not be gathered. In a hurry, he put on the Immortal King Crown, but his vitality was drained away in an instant and he turned into bones. Therefore, the Immortal King Crown was listed as an evil weapon by the Epiphyllum Sect, and no one dared to touch it."
"In that case, you still dare to send this thing to me?" Gu An's tone revealed a murderous intent. Li Shouyou said calmly: "If you practice the Taicang Jingshen Sword, the Immortal King Crown will sense the sword's intention and recognize it as the master. The person who created this crown is the one who created the Taicang Jingshen Sword." Gu An continued to ask: "What is the relationship between the Epiphyllum Ghost Mother and the Evil Emperor?" "The Ghost Mother is a descendant of the Evil Emperor." "Why would she send the bones of her ancestor to me? Isn't she afraid of offending me?" "The Ghost Mother hates her own bloodline. When she was young, she was trained into an evil ghost by her father, so she is looking for the descendants of the Li family. The Li family has nothing to do with her bloodline. The ancestor of the Li family was just a disciple of the Epiphyllum Sect. She wants other people who inherited the Taicang Jingshen Sword to seize the position of the leader of the Epiphyllum Sect and complete revenge." "How can you be sure that you can find me?" "The Ghost Mother said that as long as we get close to the outer gate city where the Bu Tiantai is located, even if we hide our cultivation, we will be discovered by you because the difference in cultivation is huge." Li Shouyou and others' method of holding back their breath is indeed powerful, and only Gu An can see through it. Until now, they have not revealed a trace of breath. Gu An continued to interrogate, and Li Shouyou answered one by one. After an incense stick of time, Gu An pondered and said: "I accept the Immortal King Crown, you can leave now." Li Shouyou flipped his hand and took out a short flute, saying: "This is the Nine Nether Flute. As long as you blow it, we will come as soon as possible and wait for your orders. From now on, you are the leader of the Epiphyllum Sect, at least in our hearts!" Gu An raised his hand and then used his spiritual sense to explore. After confirming that there were no surveillance, reverse tracking and other restrictions inside, he threw it into the storage bag. He jumped down from the coffin and signaled the Nine Nether Thirteen Li to leave. The Nine Nether Thirteen Li saluted him one after another, then lifted the coffin and left. Gu An did not return to the valley immediately, but sat under the tree and placed the Immortal King Crown in front of him. According to Li Shouyou, tens of thousands of years ago, there was an immortal dynasty in the world, and everyone could cultivate immortality. There was no emperor at that time. The leader of the immortal dynasty called himself the Immortal King and ruled the immortal gods on land. Later, the immortal dynasty encountered bad luck, natural disasters continued, and the cultivators encountered inner demons one after another. The plague spread. It took only ten years from its heyday to its destruction. Although the Immortal King survived, the Immortal Dynasty no longer existed. He dared not call himself an immortal or challenge the power of heaven. In the years that followed, his descendants founded the Epiphyllum Sect. One of the leaders created the Taicang Jingshen Sword. The sword's intention shocked the sky and brought about a heavenly calamity, so it was named Jingshen. This leader thought he had reached the realm of his ancestor, the Immortal King, but he still could not live forever. So when the deadline was approaching, he forged the Immortal King Crown with his own cultivation. This crown contained the power of the Immortal King. The leaders of all generations had studied it, but they could not subdue the Immortal King Crown, and instead suffered bad luck. Gu An used his spiritual sense to probe the crown of the Immortal King, but even the ninth level of the Mahayana realm could not penetrate it. He did not dare to use his own sword intent to test it. Regardless of whether Li Shouyou was lying, even if he was telling the truth, this method might not be true, after all, no one had ever succeeded. After thinking about it, Gu An felt that this thing was too weird, so it was better not to keep it around. He stood up, performed the Wuji Free Step, and quickly came to the North Sea Mountains. He dived directly to the bottom of the North Sea, buried the crown of the Immortal King and the piccolo in the mud on the seabed, and put a ban on it. Wait until he breaks through a few levels of the realm in the future, and then study it. Anyway, Gu An does not need to borrow the power of the crown of the Immortal King. After doing all this, Gu An quickly returned to Xuan Valley and continued to celebrate the festival with his disciples.
… After the departure of Jiuyou Shisanli, Gu An's life returned to peace again, and no one came to disturb him again. Three years passed quickly. Gu An ushered in his seventieth birthday. This day, in Tianya Valley. Gu An had just finished picking herbs and was in a good mood. He personally delivered the herbs to the warehouse. As soon as he went out, he saw Lv Xian coming. When Lv Xian saw him, his expression suddenly became unnatural. Since he was defeated by Gu An, he has been practicing hard all day, and his cultivation has soared. Now he has reached the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Realm. The sixth level of the Nascent Soul Realm at the age of ninety-nine! It's exaggerated! But Lv Xian felt frustrated. After taking so many pills, he finally failed to break through the Spiritual Transformation Realm before the age of one hundred. "Are you attending the Golden List Conference?" Lv Xian came over and asked. Gu An smiled and said, "Why should I attend? It would be embarrassing for me to go there with my qualifications." The corners of Lv Xian's mouth twitched. He took a deep breath and said, "I am going to attend. One night three years ago, I suddenly felt a lot less pressure. In the past three years, I have not been affected by the inner demons and dreams. It's just right to attend the Golden List Conference and relax." Relax? Others are afraid that they will suffer. Gu An complained in his heart, and he followed to feel the residual soul breath in Lv Xian's body. Huh? One of the remaining souls is missing. There were seven souls before, but now there are only six souls. The night three years ago... Gu An suddenly thought of something. Could it be that the Evil Emperor also left a remaining soul in Lu Xian's body? This doesn't make sense. What is the relationship between the Evil Emperor and Lu Xian? The Evil Emperor is the long-dead leader of the Epiphyllum Sect, and Lu Xian is Lu Baitian's biological son... Wait! Lu Baitian is not related to the Epiphyllum Sect, right? Update starts!
