It’s just a hassle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lan nodded, not pressing further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, turning one hundred was a major milestone for any cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if Gu An didn’t care, she wouldn’t force the issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their conversation drifted between Taixuan Sect, the cultivation world, and the mortal realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the most part, Ye Lan did the talking while Gu An simply listened and nodded along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At one point, Gu An asked about her progress with Innate Reincarnation Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lan assured him that she practiced it every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although her cultivation realm hadn’t improved, she could feel the technique’s gradual accumulation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfied, Gu An handed her a collection of top-tier alchemical pills, urging her to hurry up and consume them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In twenty years, she would have to unseal the technique—and by then, who knew how much her lifespan limit would increase?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lan happily accepted his gifts, her face glowing with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her expression, Gu An suddenly shuddered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Junior Sister, don’t get the wrong idea—I’m always your Senior Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lan simply laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up, walked over to him, and placed her hands on his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was always the one putting hands on other people’s shoulders—only Junior Sister could do it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh.

Good! GOOD!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed his leg in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An chuckled and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The book is yours. I’ll leave the rest to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had worked with the Library Hall for years—there was no need to worry about being cheated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Shang shot up from his chair, his face flushed with pure exhilaration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Journey to the Westis going to be a sensation! This isn’t just as good asRomance of the Gods—it’s even better!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The narrative was stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The characters were more engaging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Sun Wukong awaken, claim his title as the Monkey King, and set out to find immortality—Feng Shang was hooked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Court’s mistreatment of Sun Wukong only made him anticipate his rebellion even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Wukong rebelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rampaged through the Celestial Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fought gods and immortals alike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too strong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Shang was in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did Gu An come up with all of this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the spells, treasures, and factions described inJourney to the Westfelt eerily realistic—because they mirrored real legends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could these really be just stories?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An simply smiled and left without another word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching him walk out into the sunlight, Feng Shang found himself momentarily dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Truly an immortal among mortals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mounting the Blood Prison Great Saint, Gu An rode off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he made his way through the Outer Sect City, he greeted familiar faces along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ji Family had withdrawn from Taixuan Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhou Family had defected to Cang Heaven Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this had happened decades ago, Taixuan Sect would have suffered immense losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their departure barely made a difference—in fact, Taixuan Sect had grown even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, new powerful families were already rising to take their place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Taixuan Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For every one who left, another rose to replace them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sect was flourishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Gu An wondered—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How long before Taixuan Sect reaches the level of the Seven Star Spirit Realm or the Starsea Sect Alliance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then… how many of his old friends would still be at his side?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the ox beneath him trotted along, his thoughts drifted toward the distant future—ten thousand, a hundred thousand years ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taixuan Sect’s First World Cultivation Tournament was fast approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the hottest topic in the cultivation world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Journey to the West.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Pan An’sJourney to the Westwas released—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire cultivation world shook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many had expected another simple novel likeTaixuan Immortal VenerableorShattering the Void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they got a masterpiece on par withRomance of the Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at its center—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Sage, Equal to Heaven—Sun Wukong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most famous name in all of the Three Dynasties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan An was once again elevated to legendary status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the release ofJourney to the West, the accusations of him running out of ideas were completely crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people even began to say thatJourney to the Westwas superior toRomance of the Gods!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Baitian seized the hype surrounding the book, announcing that the champion of the First World Cultivation Tournament would earn the title “Great Sage”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fueled even greater anticipation for the tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks toJourney to the West, Pan An’s fame within Taixuan Sect even briefly surpassed the Sword Sovereign of the Righteous Path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pan An had started a literary movement in the cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he had once again overshadowed the Sword Sovereign with his stories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although many new cultivation novels had appeared after Pan An’s rise, most cultivators still believed that Pan An was the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An personally thought this was nostalgia bias—there were many talented writers in the cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, Gu An rode the Blood Prison Great Saint into the Outer Sect City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a feeling there would be some entertainment today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streets were overflowing with cultivators, their voices merging into a deafening roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like another New Year Festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many cultivators wore exotic outfits, and even transformed demons could be seen walking around freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taixuan Sect had begun accepting demon disciples, with great success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every year, over ten thousand demons came to seek admission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the protagonist ofJourney to the Westwas a demon, this made the entire demon race view Taixuan Sect more favorably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving near the Heavenly Mending Platform, the Blood Prison Great Saint came to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All around, Gu An could hear the chatter of cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you readJourney to the West? The Library Hall stocked a new batch yesterday—I just managed to grab a copy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lend it to me!

Even if you win the tournament, there’s no way you’re lifting that axe!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were talking about Journey to the West.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were discussing the Sword Sovereign of the Righteous Path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most were focused on the upcoming First World Cultivation Tournament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An quietly counted down in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three… Two… One…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here he comes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A domineering aura suddenly engulfed the Heavenly Mending Platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice as loud as rolling thunder echoed across the city—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Qiao Dai, the strongest cultivator of Lingxia!
