LIGHT NOVEL Chapter 401 Shape-Shifting
"You can keep it and accept the inheritance when you are strong enough."
Gu An stared at Lv Xian, speaking earnestly, fearing that Lv Xian would forsake his greatest opportunity.
At the moment, the Heavenly Dao Immortal Position proved stronger than the Holy Court, the Immortal Dynasty, and even the Silent Destruction Domain; as a mortal, if Lv Xian missed it, finding a stronger chance in the future would be almost impossible.
Lv Xian couldn't rely on stealing life span to become stronger like him.
Lv Xian raised an eyebrow and said, "What do you mean, you think I can't rely on myself?"
"You can't, at least not beyond this inheritance."
"Bullshit!"
Lv Xian erupted in fury, his terrifying aura exploding like a volcano, startling the entire Tianya Valley.
Suddenly, Gu An raised his hand and pressed it on his shoulder, instantly dispersing his aura.
Lv Xian's eyes widened; he knew Gu An was definitely stronger than himself, but to be suppressed so easily, rendered unable to move...
In that moment, he recalled a duel between them hundreds of years ago.
This moment was exactly like that one.
Gu An looked at him calmly and asked, "Can you keep this stone tablet now?"
Lv Xian couldn't answer; he was unable to speak.
"Just blink if you agree."
Hearing Gu An's words, Lv Xian blinked frantically.
Gu An withdrew his hand, and Lv Xian breathed a sigh of relief, gasping for air.
He looked at Gu An with fear; he had learned from Li Xuandao that Gu An was younger than him, yet how had he cultivated to such a level?
Compared to Gu An, he was practically useless!
Gu An smiled and said, "Quickly put it away. When you become an immortal, if I can't catch up to you or have troubles, you'll be my backup."
Upon hearing this, pride replaced the awkwardness on Lv Xian's face; he patted his chest and said, "Naturally, I'm not your equal now, but I will surpass you one day, and then I'll have your back."
Despite Gu An not always being nice to him and often scaring him, wasn't that a form of care?
In the past, when he initiated provocations towards Gu An, Gu An didn't mind, but if someone else treated him that way, he wouldn't be so merciful.
And for Gu An to return such an important inheritance to him, he was truly a man worth respecting!
Lv Xian stored the stone tablet and Gu An put his arm around his shoulder as they walked toward the cave entrance.
"By the way, your father misses you. When are you going to visit him?"
"Him? That old undying man, if I visit him, I won't be able to help but kill him."
"Nonsense, blood is thicker than water. He hasn't tortured or mistreated you. Why talk of killing? If you really wanted to kill him, could he even stand up to you? He's hundreds of years old; why act like a child?"
"You don't understand!"
"Of course, I don't understand; I have no parents."
"Well, I envy you for that."
"Hey, you brat, are you looking for a spanking? Just go back to the Supreme Sect and see your father. He treats me well and is always talking about you; my ears are almost calloused. If you go, I'll teach you a Divine Skill that will definitely enhance your strength."
"Really?"
"I, Gu An, never lie."
And so, the two chatted and walked out of the cave.
Back in the valley, Gu An reverted to being an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, while Lv Xian continued to exude the arrogance of a supreme youth.
...
A month later, Lv Baitian came to find Gu An, extremely happy, pulling him to drink because Lv Xian had come to see him.
Although the father and son were still not on the best of terms, their relationship had begun to improve.
He was touched to learn from Lv Xian that it was Gu An who had asked Lv Xian to see him.
This youngster always seemed impatient with his ramblings, but in his heart, he remembered his father's love.
Lv Baitian looked at Gu An with eyes full of fondness, as if looking at another son.
Gu An didn't refuse, as he was just in the mood for a drink.
Perhaps this was what meant by "with great power comes great responsibility."
He not only had to save the world, he also had to help people handle domestic affairs.
How fortunate the Immortal Cultivation World was to have me!
Filled with self-emotion, Gu An then competed with Lv Baitian in a drinking contest and finally Lv Baitian was defeated.
They were drinking high-level Spiritual Wine. It was alright for Gu An to show off his strength a bit, especially since Lv Baitian was not considered strong in the Supreme Sect.
Taking advantage of Lv Baitian's drunken stupor, Gu An went downstairs.
Just as he descended, Ji Xiaoyu walked out of the room and said to him, "Come in!"
Gu An shook his head, "No thanks, your strength isn't enough. Practice some more."
Last time, to teach Ji Xiaoyu a lesson, Gu An had played Go with her in her room for an hour and beat her decisively, which left her quite unconvinced, and now she would think about game strategies even during her practice.
"Just one more game and you'll see if it's enough."
"Ha!"
Gu An couldn't be bothered with her and continued walking toward the distance.
Ji Xiaoyu watched his back, took a deep breath, and thought about the cost of losing the game last time, it made her teeth itch with frustration.
Before the game, they had made a deal that if she won, Gu An would focus more on his own practice, and if Gu An won, he would pinch her face.
Well, pinch it as it may be, he really dared to do it strongly!
She looked at Gu An's back, her mind full of confusion.
Why in the world was his Go skill so strong?
She finally understood why Nine-Finger Divine Lord couldn't maintain his composure in the Immortal Path Realm when facing Gu An.
After walking some distance, Gu An leaped up, aiming for the Outer Gate City.
It had been ages since he last strolled in the city!
Today, he might as well reinforce the Sword Intent on the Heavenly Repair Platform.
Too many people had been comprehending his Sword Intent, causing it to continuously weaken; recently even a Divine Immortal of Wondrous Dharma had come to study it.
…
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, another decade passed.
That day.
In the deep sea, Hidden Spirit Palace.
Gu An lay on a chair on the open ground, holding the Supreme Secret Records.
The Deep Sea Dragon Carp was beside him practicing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Skill.
This skill had been upgraded, but being too complex was in fact not beneficial, and his disciples were all practicing it, how could he allow the Deep Sea Dragon Carp's treatment to exceed theirs?
Even among his underlings, Tian Yao'er was the most important.
The Deep Sea Dragon Carp opened its eyes, flew next to Gu An, and asked cautiously, "Master, I think I can Shape-Shift, what do you think I should turn into?"
Gu An turned over, his back facing it, and said, "Whatever you want."
He didn't care if a male demon wanted to Shape-Shift, it didn't matter even if it didn't.
The Deep Sea Dragon Carp caught a glimpse of a picture on the Supreme Secret Records, pondered for a while, then turned and left.

Two ancient hours later, Gu An left.
By the time he returned, it was already half a month later.
Upon return, he was taken aback.
He saw a figure at the entrance of the Hidden Spirit Palace, for a moment, he thought he saw a naked creature from the Demon Shore.
But this fellow was not a female demon!
When the Deep Sea Dragon Carp turned to look at Gu An, its stunningly beautiful face flashed a captivating smile, its long hair reaching its waist, and its skin as white as snow, shimmeringly. He swayed his body as he walked towards Gu An.
Gu An immediately threw a robe at him.
"Put this on immediately!"
Gu An really wanted to scold him. A male demon turning into a female form, what was this nonsense!
Absolutely disgusting!
The Deep Sea Dragon Carp, hearing the dissatisfaction in his voice, hurriedly put on the robe, looking at Gu An nervously like he had done something wrong, his exceptionally beautiful face filled with a look of grievance.
