When I became a saint, an immortal official summoned me to take care of horses

Chapter 44: Reaching the Pinnacle of Divine Arts, Teleportation Array

Du Ye left as quickly as he came. Gu An could feel his excitement, as if he really thought that his surname was Ji.

Gu An was also very interested in the inner sect. It would be good if he could take advantage of the Ji Family's banquet to visit the inner sect.

He planned to take advantage of these few days to prepare more spirit stones so that he could go to the inner sect to purchase some.

Until night fell.

Gu An quietly left the Profound Valley. He walked in the opposite direction from where he had broken through. After walking for about 50 miles, he stopped.

He sat in front of the mountain wall and called out the attribute panel.

He looked at the Eight Direction Steps and invested 5000 years of lifespan in it.

This was a footwork technique. Not only was it helpful in battle, but it could also be used for running.

As his thoughts fell, lines of notifications popped up.

[You have invested 5000 years of lifespan in the Eight Direction Steps.]

[You have cultivated the Eight Direction Steps Steps for one year. You have successfully mastered the Eight Direction Steps.]

[You have cultivated the Eight Direction Steps for 10 years. Your understanding of the Eight Direction Steps has reached the pinnacle. Your comprehension of movement techniques has improved.]

[You have cultivated the Eight Direction Steps for 5000 years. Your Everlasting Mystic Steps has reached the Perfection Realm. Your comprehension of space has improved.]

Eight Direction Steps, Omniscient Steps, Qilin Steps, Heavenly Dragon Mystic Steps, Everlasting Mystic Steps!

Gu An was secretly excited. At the same time, a large amount of memories began to flow into his mind. He quickly activated his lifespan barrier and immersed himself in the inheritance.

An hour later, Gu An opened his eyes.

He first looked at the lifespan enchantment. It had only consumed 200 years of his lifespan.

Although Inherited Cultivation Methods and Dharma Spells would not increase one's cultivation, they still needed to absorb Spiritual Qi. After all, no matter what they practiced, they would always be in an environment with Spiritual Qi.

Compared to when he broke through to the Void Crossing Stage, the amount of Spirit Qi he absorbed this time was not much.

Gu An looked at the Attribute Panel again and fell into deep thought.

He definitely had to improve his cultivation. However, he had to lay low for the time being, so it wasn't good for him to act recklessly.

Moreover, he wanted to improve his technique first before improving his cultivation level. He was prepared to go to the Inner Sect to take a look and see if there were any Five Elements Techniques. If there were no good choices, he would grit his teeth and go all the way with the Divine Wood Pure Yang Technique.

After pondering for a moment, Gu An decided to try the Thousand Autumn Pavilion's secret technique that Jiang Qiong had taught him, the Phantom Divine Art.

Jiang Qiong said that this secret method was very suitable for being a spy. He wanted to see how suitable it was.

I'll just bet 2,000 years of my lifespan!

[You have invested 2,000 years of your lifespan in Specter Power for evolutionary cultivation.]

[You have been cultivating the Specter Power for ten years. You have achieved initial mastery of the Specter Power]

[You have been cultivating the Specter Power for 100 years. Your Specter Power has reached the Perfection Stage. Your speed of using the Specter Power has increased.]

[You have been cultivating the Specter Power for 200 years. Your Specter Power has reached the peak of perfection. Your comprehension of movement techniques has increased.]...

[You have been cultivating the Specter Power for 500 years. Your Specter Power has returned to its original state and has been promoted to the Unrestrained Demonic Body Technique.]...

[You have been cultivating the Specter Power for 1,000 years. Your Unrestrained Demonic Body Technique has reached the peak of perfection. Your comprehension of movement techniques and karma has increased.]

[You have been cultivating the Specter Power for 1,300 years. Your Unrestrained Demonic Body Technique has returned to its original state and has been promoted to the Great Yin-Yang Transformation.]

[You have been cultivating the Specter Power for 2,000 years. Your Great Yin-Yang Transformation has reached the peak of perfection. Your comprehension of movement techniques and karma has increased.]

Specter Power, Unrestrained Demonic Body Technique, Great Yin-Yang Transformation!

It had only been promoted twice. It seemed that this secret technique was not simple. Jiang Qiong did not lie to him.

Gu An immediately activated the lifespan barrier and entered the inheritance with his consciousness.

After a long time …

He slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with surprise.

This secret technique was indeed very suitable to be a spy!

The Specter Power could allow the caster to be covered in demonic aura, forming a demonic shadow that even divine consciousness could not penetrate. The Great Yin-Yang Transformation was even more exaggerated and could not be forcefully removed. The caster could maintain the demonic shadow state until death, and after death, they would not reveal their true body. The most important thing was that this technique could not be deduced. Even Dharma artifacts and Dharma treasures could not reveal their true body.

It was too domineering!

With this technique, Gu An could do many things in the future.

Especially when paired with the Wuji Traceless Mystic Heaven Steps, he was even more invincible. The Wuji Traceless Mystic Heaven Steps already had the profundity of a movement divine ability. Moreover, every step he took could create a dharma idol that could be dodged or attacked. It was extremely profound.

Gu An brought up his attributes panel again and revealed a satisfied expression.

Tonight's harvest was not bad!

Gu An closed the life span enchantment, then stood up and took a step forward. His figure disappeared into thin air, and in an instant, he appeared in the forest dozens of feet away. Then, he took another step and disappeared again.

It was as if he was constantly flashing. This was the mystery of the Wuji Traceless Mystic Heaven Steps. Moreover, he was only trying it out, and the maximum distance he could cover was far more than this.

Soon, he returned to the Profound Valley.

… ….

It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly.

Gu An stood in the city and looked at the tall buildings around him. His eyes were filled with curiosity. The streets where he stood were filled with people, and he could see the figures of demonic beasts. There were also many cultivators flying in the sky. Just this city alone, there were probably hundreds of thousands of people.

The Supreme Mystery Sect had four inner cities, and one of them had hundreds of thousands of disciples. This was too exaggerated.

Gu An suddenly felt that he had underestimated the strength of the Supreme Mystery Sect and the vastness of the Tai Cang Empire.

The ten-day deadline had arrived. As early as yesterday, Gu An had gone to the outer sect. He had to help the outer sect disciples take care of their cave abodes. It was already dawn by the time he was done. At noon today, he found Du Ye and the two of them directly arrived at the inner sect city through the teleportation array.

According to Du Ye, the outer sect city was thousands of miles away from the inner sect city. In the middle lived the demonic beasts raised by the Supreme Mystery Sect, as well as some secret realms for the disciples to train and medicine valleys to grow high-grade medicinal herbs.

"The teleportation array is a good thing. I have to study it carefully."

Gu An silently thought. He had already asked Du Ye just now, and he could buy anything in the inner sect, including array formations, as long as he had enough spirit stones or spiritual energy pills.

In the cultivation world, spiritual energy pills were also a kind of currency. They could restore a cultivator's spirit energy, and they could also be used as spirit stones. The various sects had already set the same standard for spiritual energy pills. Each spiritual energy pill contained spiritual energy equivalent to a low-grade spirit stone, and their value was also the same.

Ever since Li Xuandao invited him to manage the medicine valley, he had plans to open more medicine valleys.

If every medicine valley had a teleportation array, wouldn't it be much more convenient?

"Gu An, hurry up."

Du Ye urged from the front, and Gu An hurriedly followed his footsteps.

Along the way, Du Ye introduced the buildings along the way. He listened carefully and prepared to take a good look around these few days.

It would be difficult for the Ji family's banquet to end in a few days, so he had plenty of opportunities to walk around.

Not only was Gu An listening, but he was also using his lifespan to check.

He actually didn't see any Foundation Establishment cultivators. The worst was at least in the Core Formation realm, but these Core Formation realm disciples were almost all over 200 years old.

After walking through a few streets, Gu An finally caught sight of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. That person was only 40 years old, but he was already at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. At a glance, it was obvious that he was a genius who entered the inner sect with a spiritual root.

Du Ye seemed to deliberately want to broaden Gu An's horizons. His pace wasn't fast, and Gu An was happy to do so.

An hour later.

They arrived in front of a mansion. This mansion was very vast, and the courtyard walls were several miles long. There were two big words written on the plaque on the door.

Ji Mansion!

Good lord, how bold. Could it be that all the inner sect disciples of the Ji family live here?

Gu An secretly ridiculed. He had a bad premonition.

If this continued, one day, the Supreme Profound Sect would suppress the Ji family. At that time, he would really become a spy for the Ji family.

Although he was now affiliated with the Supreme Profound Sect, in his heart, the Ji family was definitely more important.

The Ji family raised him, allowed him to grow up, and even led him to join a number one sect like the Supreme Profound Sect. These favors were not something that could be repaid with just a few low-grade herbs.

Of course, Gu An wouldn't force himself to repay the Ji family, but if the Ji family needed him, as long as it wasn't excessive, he wouldn't refuse.

There were two Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding the entrance of the Ji Mansion. Gu An used his lifespan to check and found that they were already over a hundred years old. They were obviously not geniuses. They were probably the same as Gu An and the other two, servants of the Ji family.

Du Ye immediately stepped forward and took out his token. His posture was humble as he nodded and bowed.

"Then come and take over from us. When it's dark, I'll take you to your residence." The Foundation Establishment cultivator named Zhang Yan muttered.

Du Ye didn't dare to refuse and immediately agreed.

Just like this, Gu An and the other two began to stand guard as soon as they arrived.

Gu An stood in front of a Qilin statue and suddenly had an idea.

"Du Ye, help me guard this place. I'll give you a hundred low grade spirit stones. I want to go to the inner sect to buy some herb seeds. This is also for the Third Miss." Gu An said.

Hearing this, Du Ye was stunned. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't refuse.

A hundred low grade spirit stones!

This kid was really generous!

Just like that, Gu An handed over a hundred low grade spirit stones to Du Ye and left. He began to wander around the inner sect city alone.

He hadn't gone far when a voice sounded, "Gu An, why are you here?"
