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

"First of all, the name cannot be called Travelogue, it has no attraction at all. As an immortal cultivator, do you want to see people traveling the world? Don't they have the ability? I like to watch it because my aptitude is poor and I don't dare to leave the Supreme Sect on normal days."

Gu An commented pompously, Xuan Tianyi sat down beside him, carefully listening to his suggestions.

Just like that, Gu An began his long-winded tirade.

Putting aside everything else, bragging felt exhilarating, no wonder so many people liked to act as mentors, Gu An enjoyed it very much.

Two ancient hours quickly passed.

Gu An stopped reluctantly, while Xuan Tianyi felt deep admiration, realizing there were so many tricks to writing a book—what to make enjoyable, relatable, create tension, and more, listening to him was utterly fascinating.

Excitedly, Xuan Tianyi stood up to bid farewell.

"I'm planning to visit the Heavenly Repair Platform to feel the Sword Intent of Sword Venerable Fudao and rewrite this book. Following your advice, I won't call it Sword Venerable Travelogue anymore. I will come up with a new name."

After saying that, he walked towards the door. Gu An stood up to see him off.

After going downstairs, Gu An watched him leave with a look of contemplation.

An Xin suddenly ran over and said, "Master, the White Spirit Rat is missing!"

Gu An responded casually, "It's gone, then it's gone; it knows how to come back on its own."

Many disciples in the valley were rewarded by him and allowed to cultivate under the Mystic Pure Tree, but the one who benefited the most was the White Spirit Rat, whose maximum lifespan had increased several times over. He suspected it had achieved enlightenment in its dreams.

How difficult enlightenment was. Lu Lingjun practiced under the Mystic Pure Tree every day without success, but the White Spirit Rat managed to do it.

However, no one else noticed this; the White Spirit Rat appeared the same as before, just a bit more agile.

An Xin looked worried as she listened.

Since Gu An had handed the White Spirit Rat to her, she no longer disliked it; Gu An thought she was becoming a rat slave.

Gu An led An Xin to the side, preparing to guide her in her cultivation.

Now, Gu An was already a Great Cultivator at the Eighth Floor of the Foundation Establishment Realm, more than capable of guiding An Xin.

On the other side.

Xuan Tianyi arrived at the Heavenly Repair Platform.

It had been two months since the fall of the Demon Ancestor. Because of Sword Venerable Fudao, the Supreme Sect had become the most prestigious sect in the Three Dynasties region, attracting numerous cultivators to visit the Heavenly Repair Platform.

Zuo Yijian guarded the Heaven-Cutting Axe, with dozens of disciples by his side, all his followers.

The Heaven-Cutting Axe was the inheritance left by Sword Venerable Fudao to the disciples of the Supreme Sect, so Zuo Yijian did not allow disciples from other sects to challenge this legacy.

"No one but disciples of our sect can test the Heaven-Cutting Axe!"

Zuo Yijian shouted sternly, causing dissatisfaction among the cultivators surrounding the Heaven-Cutting Axe.

Someone even questioned his authority.

Zuo Yijian defiantly replied, "I am Zuo Yijian, the Maniac Swordsman of Canghu Lake. My sword was once used by the Sword Venerable himself, and I have the duty to safeguard his legacy!"

With that statement, no one dared to question him further, though many still disapproved of his attitude.

Xuan Tianyi watched from a distance, equally displeased.

An insignificant Nascent Soul Realm cultivator dare to act so arrogantly?

He suddenly recalled Gu An's warning. Yes, this could be written down. In the future, he would write that Sword Venerable Fudao killed people with a shoulder tap to frighten this kid.

"Xuan Tianyi, long time no see."

A light chuckle caught Xuan Tianyi's attention. He turned to see a man in a purple robe approaching. The man was elegant, with his robe fluttering in the wind and a feather crown on his head, attracting the gazes of disciples along his path.

Xuan Tianyi slightly raised his chin and said, "Ji Xuanling, it's been years. How come you've just now entered the Mahayana Realm?"

As soon as his words fell, the Heavenly Repair Platform was abuzz.

Even Zuo Yijian, standing beside the Heaven-Cutting Axe, couldn't help but look toward the two.

Very quickly, someone recognized Xuan Tianyi, making them even more curious about Ji Xuanling.

Where did this Mahayana Realm cultivator come from?

Weren't there only two Mahayana Realm cultivators in the Three Dynasties region?

Ji Xuanling walked up to Xuan Tianyi, standing five steps apart, their heights nearly identical. Xuan Tianyi was more arrogant, while Ji Xuanling, though not as proud, was equally formidable.

"Brother Xuan, you made rapid progress after a trip to the ocean. Are you now a disciple of the Supreme Sect or the Star Sea Congregations?" Ji Xuanling asked with a smile.

Xuan Tianyi scoffed, "I can be a disciple of any sect I want, can you?"

Ji Xuanling chuckled and continued asking, "I wonder, Brother Xuan, have you met Sword Venerable Fudao?"

Xuan Tianyi suddenly had an idea, smiling as he said, "Of course I have. If you want to meet Sword Venerable Fudao, you can. See the Heaven-Cutting Axe over there? If you can move it even slightly, I'll take you to see Sword Venerable Fudao."

"Really?"

"Absolutely."

"It seems this axe is hard to move." Ji Xuanling said thoughtfully.

Xuan Tianyi replied proudly, "Indeed, it is. Even with my cultivation, I could only make it shift a little."

Many disciples of the Supreme Sect who had seen him lift the axe were hesitant to speak, not daring to contradict him in public.

"Then let me try."

Ji Xuanling turned and walked toward the Heaven-Cutting Axe, with Xuan Tianyi following closely behind.

Upon reaching the Heaven-Cutting Axe, Zuo Yijian wanted to stop him but was instantly subdued by Xuan Tianyi's divine sense, rendering him immobile.

Zuo Yijian looked at Xuan Tianyi in fear, feeling furious.

Ji Xuanling ignored Zuo Yijian's minor actions. He raised his hand to grasp the handle of the Heaven-Cutting Axe.

More and more cultivators gathered. On the Heavenly Repair Platform one could find disciples from all sects of the Three Dynasties Immortal Cultivation World, even including Demon Path Disciples. In the face of the demon calamity, the righteous and demonic paths had ceased hostility to jointly resist demons, so the Supreme Sect did not prevent Demon Path Disciples from coming, as long as they didn't cause trouble.

Under the watchful eyes of Sword Venerable Fudao, who would dare to act recklessly?

The moment Ji Xuanling grasped it, he felt the same as Ji Xiaoyu.

Unshakeable!

However, remembering that Xuan Tianyi could make it shift with all his might, he felt slightly reassured and began cultivating energy.

Boom!

The aura of the Mahayana Realm was fully unleashed, startling the surrounding cultivators to retreat.

Xuan Tianyi's eyes narrowed; he immediately isolated Ji Xuanling's aura with his own, directing it skyward to avoid harming others.

Figures appeared out of thin air on the Heavenly Repair Platform. Lv Baitian, Gu Zong, Ji Hantian, and Lu Lingjun had all arrived and were watching Ji Xuanling.

Ji Xuanling's brows furrowed. He shifted his stance for better leverage, even emitting golden flames from his seven orifices, causing the surrounding space to quake violently.

The Heavenly Repair Platform trembled, and Lv Baitian and others cultivated energy to channel mana into the platform, preventing it from shattering.

Despite using secret techniques, Ji Xuanling found himself unable to budge the Heaven-Cutting Axe, becoming increasingly agitated.

He let out a low shout, veins bulging from his neck, his face flushed red, no longer composed or elegant.

Xuan Tianyi's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Yes!

Just like that!

The so-called prodigy of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm, nothing more!

Ji Xuanling's entire body ignited with golden flames, resembling a human torch, yet no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move the Heaven-Cutting Axe!

"How could this be…"

Ji Xuanling was shocked, unable to accept this reality.

He could accept not being able to lift it, but he couldn't accept being weaker than Xuan Tianyi!

The harder he tried, the more he felt the Heaven-Cutting Axe was immovable. How did Xuan Tianyi manage to do it?

Could it be the Star Sea Congregations had deeper foundations than the Seven Stars Spirit Realm?

"Enough, it's about time. If you can't move it, you can't move it. As a prodigy of the Holy Land, can you not accept this fact? Looks like the Seven Stars Spirit Realm's training is inadequate, only teaching cultivation, not character formation?" Xuan Tianyi's voice rang out.

This guy was incredibly annoying, broadcasting his voice for all to hear, as if afraid no one would know Ji Xuanling's identity.

Ji Xuanling cursed inwardly, withdrawing the flames around him.

The terrifying pressure of the Mahayana Realm vanished, allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

Xuan Tianyi no longer suppressed Zuo Yijian and began mocking Ji Xuanling. Ji Xuanling tried to keep smiling, praising the greatness of Sword Venerable Fudao, after all, he was a renowned Great Cultivator.

Seeing Ji Xuanling's humility, Zuo Yijian felt favorable towards him, speaking up, "Actually, Senior Xuan failed before as well. He couldn't make the Heaven-Cutting Axe budge."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xuanling's smile froze.

Xuan Tianyi wasn't angry; he became even more pleased.

He decided he would definitely include the shoulder-tapping detail in his book to make Zuo Yijian restless!

On the other side.

In the Third Medicine Valley, Gu An pondered the purpose of Ji Xuanling's visit.

It probably wasn't to investigate him; if so, would they come with such fanfare?

Could it be the Holy Land was preparing to integrate into the Immortal Cultivation World?

After the Mahayana Realm pressure dissipated, An Xin relaxed and raised her sword again, saying, "Master, Senior Xuan said just now that the other party comes from the Holy Land, does this mean the Holy Land intends to accept us?"

In her mind, the Holy Land was definitely more powerful than the Supreme Sect.

Hearing this, Gu An couldn't help but speculate if the Seven Stars Spirit Realm wanted to annex the Supreme Sect?

Facing the unknown Sword Venerable Fudao, they couldn't continue to suppress openly, mainly because their previous actions were in secret and couldn't be publicly exposed.

But the Lin Family wouldn't let it rest.

The Lin Family was a major clan in the Seven Stars Spirit Realm!

Gu An was ready to bully the older and more powerful ones.

He said, "How would I know? Focus on practicing your sword skills. You're good in every way, but your mind isn't focused. Whenever there's a chance, you slack off."

An Xin blushed and continued practicing her sword.

Gu An collected his thoughts, no longer thinking about the Seven Stars Spirit Realm.

He began to think about his new book.

It was about time to start writing Journey to the West. Perfect, he could use this book to critique the high and mighty Seven Stars Spirit Realm, awakening the thoughts of cultivators everywhere.

Of course, this book had to be written slowly to avoid alerting them.

Writing for decades, by the time the Seven Stars Spirit Realm realized, Gu An would have already reached the Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal realm!

News of the prodigy Ji Xuanling from the Holy Land failing to lift the Heaven-Cutting Axe quickly spread, exciting the disciples of the Supreme Sect.

As the Holy Land began saving the world, many legends about the Seven Stars Spirit Realm sprouted like mushrooms after the rain. To many disciples of the Supreme Sect, it seemed like the Holy Land was trying to steal the glory of Sword Venerable Fudao.

Why didn't the Holy Land act before the demon ancestor's death?

Now, the moment a prodigy from the Holy Land appeared in the Supreme Sect, they were overshadowed by Sword Venerable Fudao. How could they not be pleased?

This news quickly spread from the Supreme Sect to the Immortal Cultivation World of the Three Dynasties, attracting more and more cultivators to come to the Supreme Sect, eager to witness the prowess of the Heaven-Cutting Axe.
