Heaven Sect lectured Gu An at length, telling him how to act in the future and what pitfalls to avoid, as if imparting his last words.
Despite thinking to himself, 'I, a Divine Thought True Immortal, will not acknowledge you as my master,' Gu An considered retaining Heaven Sect's legacy since Heaven Sect was determined to abdicate his position and had decided to search for a successor on his behalf.
Before leaving, Heaven Sect said, "Though there are many secrets about you that puzzle me, I have no desire to understand them anymore. Your disciple named Yang Jian, let him leave when he wishes to; do not stop him, for he will bring you great trouble."
Gu An nodded, planning to dismiss him first.
Heaven Sect raised his right hand, a qi sphere formed in his palm and he threw it at Gu An.
With no time to dodge, Gu An could only watch as the qi sphere entered his body, causing him to stiffen.
