Chapter 744 - 449: Now That You Are an Immortal Bridge Expert, I Should Pay My Respects to You
It’s hard to say what will happen afterwards.
Pausing for a moment, Gu An mentioned his plans to go to Luo Sheng Hall.
"One month, is it?" Dugu Jing chuckled and said, "No problem, Junior Brother, report there. I’ll inform them in advance for you.
Once you’re inside, whatever you wish to do is entirely at your discretion.
However, given your current cultivation level of the Immortal Bridge, I imagine what you aim to do must be quite something.
Don’t let your ambition overreach your capability if it’s not suitable."
Gu An thanked him and prepared to head to Luo Sheng Hall.
Like this, I can continue with the logging.
If indeed the cultivation level of the Immortal Bridge is considered, then can I not cut down more unique Spirit Trees?
For a moment, Gu An felt that the rumors weren’t entirely detrimental.
At least I might encounter a Spirit Tree that is perfectly suitable.
Then within a month, I truly have the chance to reach the Three Flowers realm.
Afterward, Gu An entered Luo Sheng Hall.
He wanted to see whether the trees in Luo Sheng Hall have a limit.
Watching him go in, Dugu Jing shook his head slightly.
It seems like this Junior Brother isn’t entering to learn, but simply for logging.
After all, it was the same in the previous instances.
"Senior Brother, is he truly of the Immortal Bridge?" Ye Feihua inquired.
"Does it matter?" Dugu Jing laughed, "Take it as true then, there’s no need to live with absolute clarity.
Since countless rumors have made Junior Brother Gu an Immortal Bridge, and everyone regards him as such, then he must be an Immortal Bridge.
If anyone doubts it, let them test it themselves.
No matter if they find out or not, they will face immense danger."
Ye Feihua was puzzled.
"You’re from the Law Enforcement Hall, you can’t not understand." Dugu Jing sighed deeply, "Think about it carefully, why rumors can spread in the Sect to the point of contradicting reality.
Perhaps it is even spreading a truth."
Ye Feihua was momentarily taken aback, "Higher-ups?"
"Don’t speak recklessly." Dugu Jing hushed.
Whether it is or isn’t is actually not important, what’s crucial is that many people have taken it as true.
Then the origin doesn’t matter.
Continuing forward is what’s of utmost importance.
As outsiders, yet seeming like insiders, they should let things take their course.
Gu An’s return incited many to take an inquisitive look.
For instance, the Prince.
At this moment, Chen Qianhu reported, "He returned, initially unaware of the rumors, then he seemed to have seen someone from the First Institute, and subsequently headed to the Law Enforcement Hall.
He hasn’t come out yet."
The Prince, drinking tea and furrowing his brows, asked, "What do you think his cultivation level is?"
Chen Qianhu hesitated and said, "Golden Core Perfection."
"Not a Three Flower Warrior?" The Prince looked at Chen Qianhu.
The latter shook his head, "Unlikely. No matter how one looks, he doesn’t seem like an Immortal Bridge expert. Moreover, a young Immortal Bridge is a dragon among men, why would he hide instead of embracing such stature?
It defies logic.
Besides, I have investigated, he really is only fifty-four years old.
At fifty-four, even the most talented should have Primordial Spirit cultivation, Returning to Void is improbable, let alone being an Immortal Bridge expert, and not an ordinary one, but a Three Flowers Warrior.
Such claims wouldn’t be believed even if said aloud, even the first Heavenly Pride of the Daoist Orthodox Sect couldn’t hope to catch up with him.
And the first Heavenly Pride of the Daoist Sect is already acknowledged as the fastest to ascend.
At fifty-four, he could at most be Primordial Spirit.
Unless I made a mistake in investigating his age."
The Prince, sipping on tea, remained silent.
Opposite him, the Princess chose to stay silent too.
This time, the rumors exceeded their expectations.
They never imagined such outrageous rumors could exist.
The Prince remained silent for a long time, then asked, "Where did the rumors stem from?"
"Most likely from Cangmu Sect, perhaps to obtain something from the Prince." Chen Qianhu said, then paused and continued, "Besides, Cangmu Sect is merely a Second-rank Sect, even if Gu An is quite aged, he’s merely an Inner Sect Disciple.
Even if he were a Direct Disciple, he couldn’t be this formidable.
According to known rumors, even the Peak Masters surpass him only slightly.
So no matter how one looks, it defies logic.
Of course, the aura of the Peak Masters isn’t right, they seem stronger than expected.
But the Peak Master’s innate talent is peerless, incomparable to others."
The Prince looked at the Princess, curious, "What does the Princess think?"
"I can’t tell, but Immortal Bridge is indeed exaggerated, perhaps Cangmu Sect has ulterior motives, and they took the opportunity to elevate Gu An’s recognized cultivation level in the eyes of outsiders.
To fulfill some of their desires.
Even if Gu An is somewhat hiding his capabilities, he shouldn’t yet possess the cultivation of the Immortal Bridge." The Princess speculated.
"Indeed unlikely. Has Cangmu Sect done anything recently? Have they sent anyone to the First Institute?" The Prince asked.
"They have indeed, it seems they’ve captured some unknown people, most of whom were sent to the First Institute." Chen Qianhu thought for a moment and said, "One person appeared to be strikingly familiar, seemingly a strong person from overseas."
"It seems the Cangmu Sect needs a scapegoat." The Prince said calmly, "In this case, the Immortal Bridge is likely just a rumor."
On the other side.
"Brother Xia, do you think my brother-in-law is truly fifty-four years old?" On the street, the Princely Heir asked the person beside him.
At this moment, Xia Wanli, having just come out from drinking tea, had a serious expression: "I can’t be certain about his realm, but his age is definitely correct, he’s no older than seventy.
Fifty-four sounds reasonable.
I just don’t know why he appears so aged."
"A fifty-four-year-old Three Flowers Warrior?" The Princely Heir clicked his tongue, "Does this world truly have such a Heaven’s Chosen Son? What do all those I knew before amount to?
Or is this really just a rumor?
Too far-fetched."
"I’ve always maintained my view, the Dean is no ordinary figure." Xia Wanli seriously replied, "Maybe he truly is a Three Flowers Warrior, on the brink of becoming an Immortal."
Pausing, Xia Wanli continued, "If he really is a Three Flowers Warrior, and so young, then within three years he should prepare to become an Immortal.
As long as we observe well, we can confirm whether he is truly the incomparable first Heavenly Pride of this era."
"Can we observe it?" The Princely Heir asked excitedly.
"Yes." Xia Wanli confidently replied.
"No, I need to change my strategy, I must cling to my brother-in-law’s leg, what more is there to fight for a Princely Heir? With such a brother-in-law, I could vie for the throne." The Princely Heir realized time was of the essence.
No more delays.
Half a life wasted, it’s time to change fate.
Compared to my brother-in-law, even the Heavenly Pride Prince is nothing.
"Going right now?" asked Xia Wanli.
"What else? I should’ve kowtowed to my brother-in-law as soon as you mentioned it, the effect might be less now; I’m filled with regret."
Xia Wanli had just come out from drinking tea, and looked serious, "I am not sure about his realm, but his age can’t be wrong."
On the other side.
"Brother Xia, do you think my brother-in-law is really fifty-four?" On the street, the Princely Heir looked at the person beside him.
This time Xia Wanli had just come out of drinking tea, and looked serious, "I’m not sure about the realm, but I’m certain about his age.
He’s fifty-four at most.
"A fifty-four-year-old Three Flowers Warrior?" The Princely Heir clicked his tongue, "Could there really be such a genius in this world?"
When comparing with my brother-in-law, that Heavenly Pride Prince is nothing.
Now should I go?" Xia Wanli asked.
"What else can I do? When Brother Xia said it, I should have paid my respects to Brother-in-law right away, now it’s a little too late, I’m filled with regret."
Chunyu was also stunned when she heard the rumors after seeing Chu Meng: "He’s already at the Three Flowers?"
"Yes, that’s what they’re saying outside," said Chunyu.
Chu Meng asked in bewilderment, "Who started it?"
"It should be the higher-ups of the Sect, but it’s uncertain for what reason," Chunyu replied.
Chu Meng nodded, "Then let’s not dwell on it."
She decided not to care.
She knew everyone was saying he was that strong, what could be done about it.
Concerned, Gu An had no inkling of all this.
If people came after him, they surely would send real Three Flower Warriors.
There would be much suffering.
