Facing the furious Nine-Finger Divine Lord, Gu An remained composed. Holding the Phoenix, he said, "Feel carefully, and you will understand that this karmic consequence is not something you can bear."
Hearing this, the Nine-Finger Divine Lord, who was about to attack, instinctively dispersed his divine sense.
A few moments later, his expression changed drastically, and fear filled his eyes.
The Divine Soul Demons were still pouring out, throwing themselves at them recklessly, their roars echoing through the heavens.
Gu An suddenly squeezed the Phoenix in his hand, and the Divine Soul Demons in the heavens were obliterated one after another, turning into ashes, and the noise abruptly ceased.
Chu Jingfeng stood on his gourd, turned his head, and looked at Gu An in the distance, his face changing dramatically.
A dark purple demon shadow, surrounded by demonic qi...
"Fud..."
He had just uttered a word when a terrifying divine sense locked onto him, scaring him into silence.
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord also regained his calm. He looked at Gu An and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
He could sense a more horrifying presence brewing beneath the earth.
Purely in terms of aura, it was beyond what he could contend with.
Gu An did not answer but instead flipped his palm downward.
Rumble—
The earth shattered, rocks rose into the air, and the entire world seemed on the verge of collapsing. The momentum released by Gu An was so terrifying that even the Nine-Finger Divine Lord felt fear.
"Just how high is his cultivation level?" the Nine-Finger Divine Lord thought to himself, feeling fortunate.
If he had acted rashly earlier, or if the other party had directly ambushed him, he might have been in grave danger.
Chu Jingfeng also looked nervously downward. Rocks ascended around him, flying towards the sky. As far as the eye could see, the distant earth was breaking apart endlessly, a visual impact so intense that he did not dare to breathe.
Suddenly, as if seeing something, his eyes widened, and his body trembled.
As the earth shattered, a massive black object appeared below, boundless and terrifying.
In the daylight, this extreme black mass looked so horrifying and scary.
Looking from above, the black mass below was writhing. It was so immense that its shape couldn't be discerned, much less identified.
Gu An fixed his eyes on it.
[Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit (Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal Realm third layer): 0/0/0]
No lifespan was shown, but there was a realm.
Gu An's right hand, which was suspended in the air, suddenly clenched, and the gigantic Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit below began to shrink at a visible speed.
This was a divine skill, Universe in the Palm!
Previously, he had used this divine skill to bring the Phoenix into his palm. This time, he desired to capture a Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal.
The Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit struggled frantically, but wrapped in Gu An's mana, it had no way to escape. Under the watchful eyes of the Nine-Finger Divine Lord and Chu Jingfeng, the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit, now a black mass, rapidly shrank.
Eventually, it fell into Gu An's hand, resembling a mass of black qi, constantly changing shape.
Gu An then disappeared from his original spot, leaving the Nine-Finger Divine Lord and Chu Jingfeng behind, unable to recover their wits for a long time.
After a long while, Chu Jingfeng flew to the Nine-Finger Divine Lord's side and asked nervously, "Master, what should we do next?"
He knew that the figure earlier was Sword Venerable Fudao, but he decided to keep it a secret.
Sword Venerable Fudao was the most revered existence in the hearts of all disciples of the Supreme Sect. He had repeatedly saved the Supreme Sect and the human race of the Three Dynasties. Chu Jingfeng felt that he owed Sword Venerable Fudao his life, so he chose to side with him.
Even if he revealed Sword Venerable Fudao's identity, he felt it would only push the Nine-Finger Divine Lord into the abyss.
From what had been shown earlier, the Nine-Finger Divine Lord was no match for Sword Venerable Fudao.
Thinking of this, Chu Jingfeng felt deeply emotional.
During the days he followed the Nine-Finger Divine Lord, he had thought that the Nine-Finger Divine Lord was stronger than Sword Venerable Fudao, and that he had struck the ultimate blessing.
But the result was...
He couldn't help but wonder just how powerful Sword Venerable Fudao was.
It now seemed that Sword Venerable Fudao was not from the Supreme Sect but was merely hiding there to protect them.
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord took a deep breath and said, "It's time to leave."
Having the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit taken away made him furious, but Gu An's Universe in the Palm divine skill had extinguished any desire to fight.
Moreover, the aura emitted by the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit was clearly not something he could handle. If the mysterious person hadn't appeared earlier, he might have been swallowed by the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit and turned into a Divine Soul Demon.
Chu Jingfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing his master's words.
He truly feared that his master would have an obsession.
After wandering through Divine Exotic City for so long, he had already reaped some rewards and was eager to return to the Supreme Sect to meditate in seclusion.
On the other side.
Gu An arrived at the most secluded Minor Heaven and Earth. There were no living beings here. The sky was dim, and the ground was dotted with trees that looked like Evil Ghosts.
He glanced at the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit in his hand, no longer struggling but trembling.
Just as Gu An hesitated about whom to give it to, it suddenly burst open and then drilled into Gu An's palm.
The process was extremely quick. When Gu An wanted to stop it, he suddenly felt its emotions.
It was pleading.
Gu An fell silent.
Soon, he felt his mana merging into the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit's body. This was a process of accepting a master that he had never experienced before.
He was taking control of the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit and the entire Divine Exotic City.
A 30-minute incense time later.
The Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit reappeared, condensed in Gu An's palm.
From now on, Gu An was the master of the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit and the master of Divine Exotic City.
This made him feel somewhat complicated.
If he had forcibly stopped it earlier, the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit would have turned to ashes, so he had to accept it.
Of course, now Gu An could easily squeeze the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit, causing it to cease to exist.
After accepting the master, Gu An gained more understanding of Divine Exotic City.
Even if the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit was destroyed, as long as Divine Exotic City remained, a new Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit would be born. Whether it was the same one was unclear, as it resisted death much.
"Master."
The voice of the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit echoed in Gu An's mind, sounding like a young boy.
Gu An asked, "Can you share your power with others, hiding the fact that I am your master, and making others appear as your master?"
The Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit wiggled in his palm, suddenly transforming into a small black figure. It had no hair or facial features, just a body resembling a five or six-year-old boy, standing about ten centimeters tall.
The Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit tilted its head, considered it for a moment, and said, "It can be done, but wouldn't you be unhappy?"
Gu An replied, "No. I want you to protect one of my juniors, but you must not reveal my presence to him. You have to pretend that he is your master."
Upon hearing this, the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit nodded obediently.
Gu An disappeared with it.
He arrived in another realm, a dense forest where Li Ya and Zhang Buku were resting.
Gu An directed the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit with his mind to find Li Ya.
The Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit immediately leaped from his hand and went to find Li Ya.
In Divine Exotic City, the person Gu An cared most about was undoubtedly Li Ya. Although Li Ya had numerous opportunities, he was clearly far behind geniuses like An Hao and Lv Xian, so Gu An decided to help him.
As for An Hao, whether he had Divine Exotic City or not, he would eventually rise. If he joined the Star Sea Congregations, he would possess immortal treasures no less powerful than the Dragon-Slaying Spear, even without a fake immortal treasure like Divine Exotic City.
The Dragon-Slaying Spear was highly powerful, allowing Chi Jiuxiao to display power comparable to a Loose Immortal.
The Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit hopped along its way, its aura elusive, unnoticed by Li Ya and Zhang Buku as they meditated.
When the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit landed on Li Ya's shoulder, a sudden scare made him instinctively open his eyes.
"Screech—"
The Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit called out and then plunged into Li Ya's face, startling him to his feet.
"What was that?"
Li Ya kept touching his face but felt nothing. Zhang Buku, equally startled, rushed over.
Upon learning that something had entered Li Ya's body, Zhang Buku panicked.
The two fumbled around, even using their divine senses to scan, but found nothing strange.
After a while, Li Ya suddenly stopped, his expression peculiar.
"Brother Li, are you okay?" Zhang Buku asked nervously.
Li Ya took a deep breath, looked at Zhang Buku, and said with a complicated expression, "Brother, I think I have been accepted as the master by an Immortal Spirit?"
"What?"
Zhang Buku's eyes widened, unable to believe his ears.
"Is it true?"
"It is..."
"Why you?"
"What do you mean? Am I unworthy?"
"How are you worthy?"
"You! Show some respect. I can command Divine Soul Demons. If you want to leave, it will be up to me!"
"Brother Li! We are supposed to live and die together as brothers..."
"You dog! Stop talking like that..."
In the distance, Gu An listened to Li Ya and Zhang Buku bicker. Under the demonic qi, a smile appeared on his lips. He turned around and disappeared once more.
He was the true master of Divine Exotic City. Within its confines, he could see all the minor heavens and the Divine Soul Demons hidden beneath each.
The number of Divine Soul Demons was indeed staggering, and the entire Divine Exotic City was still in a state of recovery. It would only grow stronger until it became a true immortal treasure once more.
Immortal Treasures existed eternally. Even if severely damaged, they could recover on their own, making Gu An view them differently.
Gu An planned to harvest the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in Divine Exotic City. Sёarᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

...
Under the rolling thunderclouds, Jiang Qiong sat meditating on the edge of a cliff, below which a majestic river of lava surged, occasionally sending hot waves crashing against the mountain sides.
She opened her eyes and frowned.
"Why hasn't she returned yet..." Jiang Qiong muttered to herself.
She and the Ghost Mother of Ephemera had entered Divine Exotic City together. They had arrived in this world two days prior. While Jiang Qiong was healing, the Ghost Mother of Ephemera had said she would go to scout, but two days had passed, and she had not returned.
Jiang Qiong was worried.
Though she did not consider the Ghost Mother of Ephemera particularly trustworthy, their long companionship had made her reliant on the Ghost Mother of Ephemera's abilities.
Could the Ghost Mother of Ephemera be in trouble?
She was so cautious; what could have ensnared her?
Jiang Qiong sank into thought. If the Ghost Mother of Ephemera was in danger, surviving alone, let alone obtaining the Immortal Spirit, would be nigh impossible.
