Chapter 220 The Legendary Fairy

Seeing Gu An effortlessly suppress two Roving Immortals, Dan Jiuxiao was dumbfounded, while An Hao trembled with excitement.

Gu An turned his gaze to the purple-robed man in his grasp and cast a lifespan inspection.

[Nine-Star True Lord (Roving Immortal Stage, Fifth Layer): 42,089/150,000/160,000]

He then looked down at the red-robed man beneath his feet and performed the same technique.

[Cangye True Lord (Roving Immortal Stage, Sixth Layer): 56,803/160,000/190,000]

Both of them had considerable lifespans!

They both carried the title of "True Lord." Could it be that in the Seven-Star Spirit Realm, "True Lord" was an official rank or title?

As Gu An pondered, the severely injured Cangye True Lord struggled to speak.

"Who… who are you? If that brat is truly your disciple, just take him and leave!"

Boom!

A sudden explosion of sand and wind erupted behind Gu An. An Hao and Dan Jiuxiao's vision darkened as a colossal black scorpion, the size of a towering mountain, lunged at Gu An, its massive pincers snapping toward him.

The Devouring Immortal Scorpion!

It moved at an astonishing speed—so fast that Dan Jiuxiao and An Hao couldn't even react.

All they saw was the scorpion bursting out, and before they could get a clear look, it instantly exploded!

Black venom splattered across the sky and earth, followed by an even more terrifying roar.

BOOM—

A vast dust storm surged behind Gu An, consuming the airborne black venom.

"H-how is this possible…?"

The Nine-Star True Lord, gripped tightly by Gu An, widened his eyes in utter disbelief.

That Devouring Immortal Scorpion was also a Roving Immortal-tier existence, yet it had died instantly?

He hadn't even seen Gu An make a move—just the moment the scorpion’s pincers touched him, its entire body blew apart.

[You have successfully seized 57,009 years of lifespan from the Devouring Immortal Scorpion (Roving Immortal Stage, Second Layer).]

Seeing the notification, Gu An was somewhat satisfied.

The Devouring Immortal Scorpion had perished under Dao Gang Qi—a divine ability derived from the Ji Family’s Heaven and Earth Dao Gang. Anyone who struck Gu An’s physical body would automatically trigger this ability and be shattered by its force.

Cangye True Lord couldn’t extend his divine sense, nor could he turn his head. But at the moment Dao Gang Qi erupted, he felt as if he, too, would be obliterated.

Never in his life had he experienced such despair.

This man… had to be beyond the Roving Immortal stage!

But how could such a terrifying existence appear in this backward land?

The Nine-Star True Lord had witnessed the explosion of Dao Gang Qi firsthand. His entire body shuddered with terror.

At that moment, both Roving Immortals lost all will to fight—only boundless fear remained.

The longer one lived, the more they feared death.

"Senior… please…" Cangye True Lord trembled.

Although Gu An did not receive a hostility notification, Cangye True Lord had dared to command the Devouring Immortal Scorpion to attack him—he was courting death.

Gu An stomped down hard.

Cangye True Lord’s body shattered instantly, exploding into a mist of blood. Only his storage pouch remained.

The Nine-Star True Lord's eyes widened in sheer despair.

Gu An raised his palm, unleashing a surge of Dao-Breaking Divine Light.

The Nine-Star True Lord vanished in an instant, reduced to nothing but dust.

His storage pouch also fell to the ground.

Just like that—two mighty Roving Immortals had perished without even putting up a fight.

An Hao and Dan Jiuxiao stood in shock.

They knew exactly how powerful those two True Lords were.

That was why… they were so utterly stunned.

Two notifications popped up before Gu An.

He had successfully seized a total of twenty thousand years of lifespan!

Just then, a figure flew toward Gu An and landed behind him.

The man cupped his fists and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Senior, for saving me!"

It was Dan Jiuxiao’s master—Dan Bei.

At this moment, Dan Bei looked utterly miserable, his entire body oozing black blood.

"Do not reveal what happened here to anyone. Otherwise, you too will become my enemy."

Leaving those words behind, Gu An vanished into thin air, taking both storage pouches with him.

Dan Bei looked up, but his divine sense could no longer detect Gu An’s presence. He sighed deeply.

Dan Jiuxiao rushed out of the formation and supported his master.

"Master, are you okay?" he asked anxiously.

Dan Bei weakly responded, "Bring out the medicine cauldron… I must expel the poison…"

Dan Jiuxiao hurried to comply.

Before long, Dan Bei entered the cauldron to begin detoxifying himself. He took out pre-prepared medicinal herbs and infused them with spiritual water.

An Hao stood nearby, cautiously asking, "What exactly is the Devouring Immortal Scorpion?"

Dan Jiuxiao gazed at the cauldron and sighed.

"The Devouring Immortal Scorpion is one of the Nine Ancient Deadliest Poisons of the Ocean—the strongest venomous creature still alive today. Even Immortals who are swallowed by it will instantly dissolve into toxic blood. If it stings you once, your cultivation disperses, and not even gods or Buddhas can save you."

That terrifying?!

An Hao was horrified and didn’t know how to comfort Dan Jiuxiao.

Dan Jiuxiao turned to him and asked, "Who exactly is your master?"

Gu An’s performance earlier had been far too monstrous.

Even though Dan Jiuxiao had been saved, he couldn’t help but fear Gu An’s power.

This was fear born from witnessing something beyond comprehension.

"I can't tell you my master’s name. He forbids me from speaking it," An Hao shook his head, his voice filled with pride.

Every time he encountered an unfathomable powerhouse, he would wonder: What realm does my master truly stand in?

Yet every single time, his master shattered his expectations.

It seemed that no matter how powerful an enemy appeared, before his master, they were nothing but ants.

For the first time, he doubted whether his own exceptional talent even mattered.

Perhaps… the only reason he was so gifted was because his master favored him.

Dan Jiuxiao fell into silence.

He recalled Gu An’s commanding presence, his eyes flashing with deep admiration.

A true cultivator should be like that!

Elsewhere.

Gu An did not return to Taixuan Sect.

Instead, he took a single step and arrived at a remote island in the ocean.

Standing within a dense forest, he swiftly sorted through the two True Lords’ storage pouches, destroying anything suspicious and keeping the treasures.

His own storage pouch couldn’t hold everything, so he refined one of the pouches into his own.

Only after doing so did he leave.

Taking another step, he entered his personal cave realm.

After emptying the items and burning the Nine-Star True Lord’s storage pouch into ashes, he finally returned to Taixuan Sect.

Standing atop a mountain near Xuan Valley, Gu An gazed into the distance.

Although slaying three Roving Immortals had been effortless, his heart was not at ease.

He knew—this matter would soon escalate.

But he had no regrets.

He could not let his enemies live.

There was one more thing he could do…

Find the Immortal Spirit of Divine Anomaly City and hand it off to someone else—ending this battle before it even begins.

Gu An had no interest in Divine Anomaly City. Even though it possessed immense power, its karma was too great, and he wanted no part of it.

He had already visited twice and had a faint grasp on the Immortal Spirit’s whereabouts…

A Few Days Later, Within the Small World of Divine Anomaly City

The raging sandstorms had finally settled.

Dan Jiuxiao helped Dan Bei out of the medicine cauldron and sat him down.

Dan Bei had changed into a clean white robe, but his face was pale, his hair disheveled—he had completely lost the air of a Roving Immortal.

Seated, he sighed. "I never expected Divine Anomaly City to attract a Celestial Ascendant."

Hearing this, An Hao’s curiosity was piqued.

"Celestial Ascendant? You mean that legendary realm where one can roam beyond the heavens?" Dan Jiuxiao's eyes lit up with excitement.

Dan Bei nodded. "It should be. If he were merely another Roving Immortal, he could not have defeated those two True Lords so effortlessly."

He turned to Dan Jiuxiao and said, "Since that senior saved us, we must honor our promise—we cannot reveal anything about him. Just say the Starsea Sect was responsible. Understand?"

Dan Jiuxiao nodded solemnly.

Dan Bei then turned to An Hao, studying him carefully. He could see that An Hao's natural talent was extraordinary, and he couldn’t help but ask, "Is your master also from Taixuan Sect?"

Though Dan Bei could perceive An Hao’s karma, he could only see the past ten years—there was no trace of his connection to that senior.

As for Lü Baitian, he completely ignored him. A mere Integration Stage cultivator wasn’t even worth considering.

"I'm not sure. Probably not," An Hao replied cautiously, keeping his guard up—he did not fully trust Dan Bei.

Dan Bei chuckled. "You're quite fortunate, kid. With such a master, your future is limitless. Have you considered joining the Starsea Sect?"

An Hao hesitated. "I already have one master, and my other master is the Sect Master of Taixuan Sect. I have a duty to strengthen my sect."

Dan Bei’s smile grew even warmer.

"I'm not asking you to leave Taixuan Sect. You can train at Starsea Sect for a while and forge a bond between the two sects. Starsea Sect can help you grow stronger faster. Once you're powerful enough, you'll be able to better protect Taixuan Sect. And when Starsea Sect faces difficulties, you’ll be able to return the favor. It's a win-win situation."

Hearing this, An Hao found it difficult to refuse. He turned to look at Dan Jiuxiao.

Dan Jiuxiao scoffed. "You think my master would lie to you? Look at Xuantian Yi—he’s proof enough!"

Having traveled together for so long, Dan Jiuxiao had learned about Xuantian Yi's relationship with An Hao.

He was also trying to recruit An Hao—because recruiting An Hao meant forging a connection with the Celestial Ascendant from before!

A Celestial Ascendant!

Even Starsea Sect had produced Celestial Ascendants before, but they were merely legends—Dan Jiuxiao had never witnessed one with his own eyes.

An Hao hesitated for a while before finally nodding in agreement.

Dan Bei and Dan Jiuxiao both smiled.

Dan Bei's expression then turned serious. "I still haven’t completely purged the Devouring Immortal Scorpion’s venom. We should leave Divine Anomaly City before the Seven-Star Spirit Realm starts hunting us down."

"But Divine Anomaly City…" Dan Jiuxiao hesitated.

Dan Bei shot him a glare and snapped, "That place contains Celestial Ascendants and numerous Roving Immortal-tier experts. Do you really think you have what it takes to compete for the Immortal Spirit?"

Dan Jiuxiao immediately backed down, scratching his head with an awkward smile.

An Hao, too, felt a pang of regret.

But he wasn’t leaving empty-handed.

He had already gathered plenty of treasures while traveling with Dan Jiuxiao.

With that, the three of them began searching for an exit.

A Dimly Lit Grand Hall

One side of the hall had a wall lined with brass oil lamps, though many had already gone out.

Standing in front of the lamp wall was a woman in a purple dress, wearing a veil over her face. Her long hair was styled into an elegant bun.

Though her exposed brows and eyes were stunning, there was a chilling coldness in her gaze, adding an air of mystery to her presence.

Suddenly, a young boy wearing only a bellyband appeared on her shoulder, tilting his head as he asked,

"Mother, what are you looking at?"

If one looked closely, they would notice that the boy’s feet were not actually resting on the woman’s shoulder.

He was a soul projection, not a living being.
