Chapter 369: Chapter 272: The World’s First Blade—Severance (Part 2)

But... can you not reject me this time?

Everyone looks down on you, yet you are the one who strives the hardest."

Gu An felt the rough and somewhat thick palm, momentarily feeling as if it weighed a thousand catties.

"I....." Gu An wanted to speak.

But he was pushed to the door by the other party, then the door was opened and he was sent out: "Hurry up and leave, or you’ll be discovered."

The door closed gently at the end.

Gu An looked at the door, holding the Spirit Stone in his hand, silent.

He had come to apologize, to reconcile.

He wanted to tell the other party about Zuo Youyan’s whims back then, tell them that in all these years, he actually missed her.

After his cultivation improved, he really wanted to come back to see her, but he was afraid of being targeted.

In the end, as the words reached his lips, Gu An simply could not bring himself to say them.

Especially those nine thousand Spirit Stones...

He was not Zuo Youyan.

Who was he to deserve this?

After that, Gu An left, walking through Qingmu City with a heavy heart.

The night in Qingmu City was not lively. Walking on the road, Gu An felt a bit of chill.

In July, it shouldn’t be chilly.

Gu An looked at the slightly bustling stalls around, feeling that whether it was ordinary people or cultivators.

All needed to live.

Had their own emotions.

Would also have regrets, make mistakes.

Whether it was Zuo Youyan or Left Mother.

Perhaps some people think Zuo Youyan is young with dreams and ideas, having things she wants to do.

But...

Who could know that Left Mother, decades ago, was just like Zuo Youyan, young with dreams and aspirations?

Do not laugh at the youth’s dreams of the jianghu, for who hasn’t had such dreams in their youth?

It’s just that she also failed, and afterward wavered between her ideals and Zuo Youyan.

Hence, regrets were brewed.

With one step, Gu An vanished on the spot.

Then he appeared outside Qingmu City.

In the forest, he suddenly wanted to practice swordsmanship.

In an instant.

The broken blade given to him by Chu Meng was in his grasp.

Gu An felt the intent within the blade, a peculiar sensation.

Zuo Youyan’s regret, Left Mother’s caution, the words Zuo Youyan wanted to say, the words that Left Mother could not utter.

Gu An felt them all.

At this moment, Gu An felt as if he was Zuo Youyan, feeling his own contradictions, feeling the ordinary and yet unforgettable familial love.

Gu An began to move as his heart willed, the blade following his movements.

Carrying a meaning that belonged to him.

It was contradiction, it was persistence, like a weight.

Especially those nine thousand Spirit Stones from Left Mother.

It gave Gu An an immense sense of weight.

For others, nine thousand Spirit Stones were just that, nine thousand Spirit Stones.

But the nine thousand from Left Mother were her regret, regret for not fulfilling her duty as a mother back then.

But it was also hope, hoping for the other’s well-being, hoping for forgiveness.

It was also the weight of decades.

At this moment, Gu An felt the blade in his hand was extremely heavy.

Recalling Zuo Youyan’s life, he set goals for himself.

Yet in the end, everything returns to dust.

Half a life in ignorance, living an ordinary life amidst the mundane.

The youth remains, only lamenting how time flies too swiftly!

At this time, Gu An and the intent of the broken blade resonated, experiencing the sorrows and joys, the separations and reunions of the human world.

Then these emotions transformed into the blades of the human world, merging into the blade.

At this point, Gu An slashed out with the blade.

The World’s First Blade, Parting.

With one slash, as if it could sever everything.

Under the blade, all things in the world could not withstand its sharpness.

At this moment, the blade came to rest before a large tree.

The blade landed before it, no change occurred.

But when Gu An withdrew the blade, the tree split from the middle, the mark of the blade carried a distinct meaning, one that even magic would hardly heal.

Gu An lowered his gaze to look at the broken blade in his hands, now with a crack on its body, which eventually turned to ash with the wind.

Gone with the smoke.

Thus, Gu An stood there, silently looking at the split tree.

He had not used any power in that slash.

If he combined Chasing Sun with Primordial Spirit Cultivation, and unleashed such a slash...

There should be no one in Primordial Spirit who could withstand it.

Even if there was, with the addition of Qi Sea Sky Gang, still, no one could stand in its way.

After this, he would be the first under Returning to Void.

Gu An took out Chasing Sun, and lightly tapped it with his index finger.

Clang!

A slightly dull blade’s ring resonated, then the seal upon it cracked with a snap, shattering thunderously.

The Sealing left by Zuo Youyan completely disappeared.

He did not take away Left Mother’s blood, but it was no longer needed.

As for the rest, they all broke open too.

Even without Gu An forcefully breaking them.

Those three people, that is what’s most important.

At this moment, Chasing Sun was still covered in rust, but it had become Gu An’s blade.

Gu An once again started to practice with the blade, familiarizing himself with The World’s First Blade, He.

The next day.

As dawn broke, Gu An arrived at the talisman shop.

Gu An had Qin Shufu summon Ouyang Lie.

At this moment, seeing Gu An, Ouyang Lie’s demeanor became increasingly respectful: "Senior, I have the honor to meet you."

Then he mentioned that thanks to Gu An’s blessing, the new member they had accepted received a series of support.

All was because of Gu An’s favor.

Hearing this, Gu An was slightly surprised.

It seemed to be because he had submitted Shining Through the Ages.

Perhaps they also wished to sell him a favor, hoping he wouldn’t cultivate it.

Naturally, Gu An had no intention to cultivate it, given he was only helping to complete a mission and had no conflict with them.

It was unnecessary to offend the other party.

Unless he truly couldn’t obtain a good magic technique.

In that case, he could only attempt to cultivate Shining Through the Ages.

But the Human World Blade had greatly increased his strength.

It wasn’t just the technique; he had also grasped its underlying meaning.

Things were different now.

There was no need to waste time on Shining Through the Ages.

Plus, he still needed to learn Drawing a Prison.

"Gratitude is appreciated, but there’s no complex relationship between us, no need to be overly concerned. One must be clear about whom they serve; otherwise, the clan could be annihilated without even realizing it," Gu An reminded him.

Hearing this, Ouyang Lie felt a shock in his heart and immediately responded: "Thank you for the guidance, senior."

Gu An had no intention to pull these people to his side, nor did he want them to have such thoughts.

Since that elder brother had accepted the member, then he should work for him.

Trying to please both sides may lead to utter disaster.

"I am looking for someone. Does the Ouyang Family have someone named Ouyang Sheng?" Gu An asked.

This name was Zuo Youyan’s father’s name.

Hearing this, Ouyang Lie pondered for a moment and then spoke with slight nervousness: "This..."

"Go back and check." Gu An did not make it difficult for him.

Zuo Youyan’s family was an offshoot on the periphery.

That very afternoon.

Ouyang Lie found Gu An and said: "Senior, there is such a person, but he died decades ago.

He left behind a wife and child, but it seems his son also sadly passed away decades ago, now only his wife remains.

She’s still with the Ouyang family, named Xiao Ning."

Hearing this, Gu An lowered his brows.

No one knew what he was thinking.

Finally, he sighed and said:

"Ouyang Sheng and I had old ties."

Although Gu An did not continue speaking, Ouyang Lie understood the implication.

He spoke respectfully: "Please rest assured, senior. Ouyang Sheng was a pillar of our family, and looking after the widow is naturally our family’s responsibility."

With that, Gu An nodded and said no more.

Afterward, Ouyang Lie left.

Gu An waited until evening before returning to Outer Peak.

There were no important matters recently, so he needn’t concern himself too much.

The Six Courtyard in the Sect, with the help of the Sect, had almost considerable authority.

The Master was unrivaled temporarily.

Gu An was part of it, and he was also a person of renown on the Merit List.

Therefore, in Outer Peak, few wished to offend him.

Especially when one can easily find a Returning to Void.

Who would dare to cause trouble?

Without targeted interference and difficulties, the second team’s tasks also went much smoother.

Gu An peacefully engaged in logging, accumulating magic techniques and Hard Cultivation.

At the end of July.

Gu An glanced at his panel.

[Name: Gu An]

[Cultivation: Primordial Spirit Perfection]

[Status: Poisoned Sea of Gas, Qi Sea Birth Xuanhuang]

[Magic: 50/50]

[Hard Cultivation: 90/100]

[Ring of Destiny]

Magic was slow again.

Today, after going back, Qi Sea Sky Gang will reach the fifth layer.

Only four more times left.

It should be sufficient by early next year.

Then I can try to advance to Returning to Void.

Returning to Void.

This realm would completely surpass those in Outer Peak, the disciples below the mountain.

Even among the disciples on the mountain, not many would be stronger than him.

Not to mention some elders, once I advance to Returning to Void, my strength would be comparable to Direct Disciples and long-time mountain disciples in the Sect.

I should be the first among hundreds of years of disciples.

When Gu An returned to his dwelling, he found Pang Wen anxiously waiting at the entrance.

Seeing Gu An come back, he immediately ran over and said: "Elder brother, something has happened."

"What is it?" asked Gu An.

"Chen Changfeng has returned, critically wounded and on the verge of death," said Pang Wen.
