This technique requires a vast amount of medicinal herbs for body tempering. I’m only giving it to you because you happen to own Medicine Valley.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuanyu spoke calmly. After finishing, she stood up and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leaving just like that?\" Gu An couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to cultivate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuanyu replied without looking back. This time, after stepping out, she didn’t bother closing the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An chuckled to himself and muttered, \"She really still has a girl’s mindset.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t dwell on it and simply stored away the technique Ji Xuanyu had written down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, he already possessed similar techniques. He had only asked out of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivation methods that altered one's physique often required an abundance of natural treasures—having the method alone was not enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t predict how much commotion his next breakthrough would cause, so he wanted to pick a location far from any living beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the disturbance caused by his last breakthrough, Gu An found himself in a dilemma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that no matter where he chose, he would inevitably alert nearby forces and affect countless creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze suddenly fell upon the Severed Sea Rift. He could sense the vast and dense spiritual energy hidden within its depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe… he should break through inside the Severed Sea Rift?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he thought about it, the more feasible the idea seemed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once his lifespan reached thirty million years, he would attempt the breakthrough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a grand hall, An Hao sat cross-legged in a spiritual pool, his brows tightly furrowed, unable to calm his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he snapped open his eyes, his gaze bloodshot. His entire vision swayed violently, making him feel dizzy and disoriented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the haze, he vaguely saw a mass of black energy surge into the hall, rapidly approaching him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black mist landed at the edge of the pool and condensed into a human figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Hao tried to stand, but his body refused to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Fiery Sun Treasure Body… Though forged through cultivation, it surpasses innate physiques. Remarkable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice echoed through the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Gu An or Yang Jian were here, they would immediately recognize it as Tian Wuchang’s voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Hao locked eyes with Tian Wuchang. Though unable to move, there wasn’t a trace of fear in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black mist roiled as Tian Wuchang revealed a striking yet eerie face. He looked down at An Hao with a greedy smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Supreme Treasure Body… You cultivated it as well.\" An Hao’s tone was calm as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Wuchang’s pupils shrank sharply, his gaze turning profound. Then, he sneered. \"It seems you’re not ordinary. Perfect. After I devour you, I’ll go find the Xuan Gang Tyrant Body next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Hao remained seated in the pool, staring at him in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell the Starsea Sect Alliance to prepare. I want to see if the current Starsea Sect still possesses its former glory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Wuchang’s voice lingered in the air before his figure dissipated into smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Hao gasped for breath as his body regained sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bracing himself against the pool’s edge, his face was drenched in cold sweat. But his eyes burned with a feral intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Supreme Treasure Body… why…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He muttered to himself, his voice resembling the low growl of a beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two years passed in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After harvesting a batch of medicinal herbs, Gu An returned to his study and checked his status panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he was only a hundred thousand years away from reaching thirty million years of lifespan, a smile spread across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he reached thirty million years, he would break through!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seated at his desk, Gu An began speculating about the realm beyond the Free Soaring Immortal Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of power would that be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, a swift figure stepped into the room, accompanied by a fragrant breeze that pulled Gu An’s consciousness back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen walked up to his desk, pulled out a book, and placed it in front of him with a smug smile. \"Take a look!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An picked up the book and flipped through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he read, his brows furrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Shen Zhen grew nervous. \"Is it really bad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The book was a novel—clearly inspired byJourney to the West.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The protagonist was also a demon, though instead of retrieving scriptures, he embarked on an adventure to seek an immortal treasure that could fulfill his wish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Objectively speaking, it was well-written.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gu An felt… regretful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen hadactuallygone straight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strangely, he suddenly felt a bit pathetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she used to write, he found it annoying. Now that she had stopped, he felt disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s pretty good. Keep it up.\" Gu An closed the book and handed it back to her, speaking offhandedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen clenched the book in her hands, her grip tightening at his perfunctory tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, footsteps approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young woman in white ascended the stairs. At eighteen, Ji Xuanyu’s presence had become even more striking—her features fully matured, her brows captivating, and a faint red mark on her forehead adding to her allure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen turned to look and was momentarily stunned by Ji Xuanyu’s beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite having been in the Third Medicine Valley for years, the two had never met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen hadn’t visited during the Spring Festival for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuanyu’s gaze fell on Shen Zhen, carefully scrutinizing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen suddenly chuckled, then turned to Gu An. \"Gu An, do you just not like this kind of book? Do you only readThe Secrets of Taixuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An’s expression changed drastically. He immediately retorted, \"How could that be? I love books like this!The Secrets of Taixuan? Never heard of it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shot her a pleading glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen smirked and placed the book back on the desk. \"Then you’d better read it properly. I’ll test you next time I visit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course! Iloveit. I’ll have it memorized backwards and forwards by then.\" Gu An said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhen threw him asmart choicelook before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she passed Ji Xuanyu, she nodded with a playful smile, making Ji Xuanyu frown slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuanyu approached the desk and asked softly, \"Was she threatening you? Tell me, and I’ll settle the score for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At eighteen, she had already reached the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage and had full confidence in her strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An laughed. \"Not at all. We’ve known each other for over a hundred years. She just likes to argue with me. Enough about her—why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuanyu looked at him and said, \"I’m leaving for a while. I need to return to the Ji Family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then go. Do you need me to take you to see the Vice Sect Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuanyu nodded, and Gu An stood up immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been to the Sect’s main city before and knew where Ji Hantian resided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These days, he had free access to anywhere in Taixuan Sect, but he preferred wandering around the outer sect cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples there were easier to interact with. Inner sect disciples always maintained a certain distance, while those in the main city carried an air of arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Core Formation Stage cultivator, he often received strange looks when entering the main city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On their way, Gu An and Ji Xuanyu exchanged light conversation. Their words weren’t many, but neither felt uncomfortable with the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, they arrived at the gates of the Ji Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go on.\" Gu An stopped and gestured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuanyu nodded and walked toward the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly halted, turning back to watch him leave. A slight frown formed on her forehead, as if lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An could feel her gaze but dared not look back—afraid she’d ask aboutThe Secrets of Taixuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This life’s Ji Xuanyu was far more inquisitive than in his past. Once she got curious, shewouldfind out the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the teleportation platform from the Sect’s main city, Gu An arrived at the Inner Sect City. Suddenly, he sensed an intense battle aura from the south.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the auras had already surpassed mostCelestial Ascension-level cultivators—almost reachingFree Soaring Immortal, but just a step short!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His divine sense extended in that direction, and his expression turned strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A realization struck Gu An, and his face shifted to one of understanding. Without stopping, he continued moving forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking along the bustling streets, he observed the passing disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Years had gone by, and many Inner Sect disciples were now demons, marking the beginning of true integration between humans and demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he strolled, Gu An casually activated hisLifespan Perception, occasionally examining the karma of disciples along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his habit—and also his entertainment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening explosion echoed outside the great hall where An Hao sat meditating. His brows knitted tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the hall, over ten grandmasters—both male and female—stood in dignified silence. Among them were Chi Bei and Chi Jiuxiao, who had once led An Hao to theStarsea Sect Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is he this powerful? Could he really break into our Starsea Sect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heisthe Ghost King of Divine Anomalies. If he didn’t have real power, he would’ve been eliminated long ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is outrageous! How dare he storm into our sect just to take someone?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph. Fortunately, the Sect Master is here. We have nothing to fear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That may be true, but his aura is overwhelmingly oppressive…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The murmurs of the elders filled the hall, but An Hao’s face remained dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected Tian Wuchang to bethisbold—to actually storm into the Starsea Sect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Hao could feel Tian Wuchang’s oppressive presence growing stronger, a clear indication that he was drawing closer… and that he had locked onto him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Palace—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The azure sky churned with violent winds, stirring the clouds into a massive vortex above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, floating islands that once stood proud now seemed as insignificant as specks of dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivators from all corners of the Starsea Sect flew out one after another, brandishing their magical artifacts, preparing for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The palace doors swung open. An Hao and the other grandmasters stepped outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Sect Master is here!\" a female cultivator exclaimed excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other elders breathed a collective sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the swirling clouds, a shadowy figure descended like a meteor, landing before the palace, right at the edge of the cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the glow faded, a man dressed in flowing white robes came into view. His long scarf drifted around him like mist, and his jade-adorned belt jingled softly in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His back was broad and straight, exuding an unshakable presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he stood with his back to An Hao and the others, his aura alone made their hearts tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Nether Heaven, Sect Master of the Starsea Sect, Celestial Ascension Realm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was stern, his long beard fluttering, and his sharp eyes radiated an intense authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His long hair was tied in a high crown, adorned with multiple small banners swaying in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his right hand, one of the banners detached, expanded rapidly, and landed in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was none other than the Starsea Primordial Flag—anImmortal Dao Supreme Treasure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The banner shimmered with countless stars, its immense power shaking the heavens and the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Starsea Primordial Flag… it’s been a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold chuckle echoed through the skies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words fell, the distant firmament suddenly split open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive black rift, stretching hundreds of miles, tore across the heavens, as if the sky itself had been cleaved by a single sword strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight was both awe-inspiring and terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>",1965,"2026-06-06T01:13:12.186Z",1,"novelbin.me","798ec933194462c700503fb5f3d144f1db12329778873f1e9e706d566c949d1e","when-i-achieved-sainthood-the-immortal-official--chapter-264","when-i-achieved-sainthood-the-immortal-official--chapter-262",567,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhen-i-achieved-sainthood-the-immortal-official--cover.jpg"]
