If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 1014 Choice
After killing Dao Ya Zun, Gu An returned to Zhongtian in a good mood, having saved himself many years of lifespan accumulation time.

When he encountered disciples along the way, he would chat with them and make them feel that he was in a good mood.

After some time, the Heavenly Dao's fortune rose in Zhongtian, leading the disciples to speculate that something good was about to happen in the Heavenly Court. Recalling Gu An's good mood that day, they discussed among themselves and felt that their ancestor might have helped the Heavenly Court resolve a calamity.

When the Nine Heavens Lord, who remained at the Beginningless Dojo, heard these remarks, he found them very reasonable.

Coming from the Heavenly Court, he clearly understood what the soaring of Heavenly Fortune represented.

In recent years, the fortune of Heaven has been declining, indicating that the number of immortals and gods is decreasing, and the faith of the people in the Heavenly Court is also declining. Faith will not increase rapidly in a short period of time.

Therefore, there is only one possibility for the sudden increase in the fortune of Heaven: that the immortals and gods have been inspired, and their faith in the Heavenly Court is equally important.

Recalling the divine might that had descended from the heavens from time to time in the past, the Nine Heavens Lord felt a pang of curiosity, like a cat scratching at his heart, wondering what kind of great enemy of the Heavenly Court Gu An had dealt with.

Other disciples of Wushi also guessed this, but Gu An did not say it outright, only saying that heavenly secrets cannot be revealed.

The atmosphere in the Heavenly Court affects all the heavens and myriad realms. By defeating the Burial Heaven Emperor, the tense atmosphere in the Heavenly Court was relieved, which also made the atmosphere in the Central Heaven as before, positive and hopeful.

Most of the immortals and gods thought the God-Slaying Ranking would stop, after all, they had clearly seen the scene of the Burial Heaven Emperor being severely injured by the Heavenly Emperor.

Although the threat from the Burial Heaven Emperor Ancestor has subsided, the Chaos's offensive against the Heavenly Dao remains fierce, and the Heavenly Court's immortals and gods cannot afford to stop.

The gods and immortals wage war, and the mortals experience cycles of reincarnation and evolution.

The pages of history keep turning.

As more and more disciples of Wushi came to Zhongtian, Lü Xian began to go out more frequently, which also encouraged other disciples to go out. Gradually, Wushi's name began to spread throughout Zhongtian.

Those disciples who had chosen to leave Wushi and came to Zhongtian, upon hearing Wushi's name, were filled with regret. If they hadn't left, they would have entered Zhongtian much sooner.

So, some disciples inquired about the name of Wushi everywhere, and finally came to this continent known as the Pure Land to visit Gu An, kneeling and begging to return to Wushi. Unfortunately, Gu An did not agree, and in the end, An Zizai led people to drive them away.

On the cliff, An Zizai and Wu Xie stood side by side, gazing at the departing figure in the distance.

"These people were weak-willed back then, but now they pretend to be loyal. It's disgusting."

Wu Xie scoffed, his tone full of disdain. He had also faced a choice back then, and after a long period of torment, he finally chose to stay.

That's why he disdains those disciples who want to turn back; people should be responsible for their own choices.

An Zizai said expressionlessly, "Actually, it's not their fault. They have many ties, and sometimes they have no choice in what they do."

Wu Xie snorted, turned his head to look at An Zizai, and asked, "Grandmaster, now that I have reached the Great Luo Immortal Realm of Opening Heaven, I can barely be considered to have attained the Dao. What do you think I should do in the future to cultivate the Dao?"

He wanted to emulate Lü Dongbin, go out and rescue the suffering disciples of Wushi, and at the same time hone his combat experience and increase his reputation.

But he also felt that he was not a second-generation disciple, and if he left, he might not be able to come back.

An Zizai turned to look at Wuxie, her heart filled with emotion.

Wu Xie has shown extraordinary talent since he joined Wu Shi. He used to think that Wu Xie would become a scourge to Wu Shi and was prejudiced against him. But after so many years, Wu Xie was still able to calm down and stay in Wu Shi's dojo.

This kid may seem arrogant and haughty, but his sense of belonging to Wushi is unmatched by any other disciple. An Zizai even felt that some second-generation disciples couldn't compare to him.

The second-generation disciples did not worship Wushi, but merely followed Gu An, while Wuxie valued everything about Wushi highly, even more than his own life.

“You have already attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit, you can make your own decisions. Follow your heart, you should have the answer. Other people’s paths may not be suitable for you.”

An Zizai said earnestly, "Wu Xie is currently Wu Shi's strongest disciple on the surface, at least that's what Wu Shi's disciples think, and Lü Xian and the others won't compete with him for this title. In fact, Wu Xie does possess power that is no less than Lü Xian and the Blood Prison Great Sage. Only An Xin and Zui can reliably defeat him, as the power of the Immortal Emperor's Eye is too overwhelming at the same realm."

The Celestial Emperor's Eye possesses the power of the Supreme Dao-Merging Emperor.

After hearing this, Wu Xie fell silent.

He remained standing on the cliff, lost in thought, until dusk fell, while An Zizai had already departed.

Wu Xie saw Gu An riding a majestic white steed across the fields from afar. He suddenly thought of his few conversations with his ancestor, and an impulse suddenly arose in his heart.

He took a deep breath and his eyes became firm.

the other side.

Gu An sat on the back of the young divine steed, holding a book in his hands. Recently, a talented writer had emerged in the mainland literary scene, and his writing style reminded Gu An of Xuan Tianyi.

When Wuxie came before him, his gaze remained fixed on the book in his hands.

The young divine steed stopped and looked at Wuxie with curiosity.

Wu Xie looked embarrassed and asked, "Master, is this horse a divine steed from the Heavenly Court? It's so majestic, and it even has the cultivation of a Golden Immortal. How many years has it cultivated?"

He felt awkward when he first opened his mouth, but after he finished speaking, he felt his chest clear up because he saw the patriarch's kind smile.

"Yes, but it was just born. According to the Heavenly Court's time system, it's less than two years old." Gu An stroked the divine steed's head with one hand and chuckled softly.

Newborn?
Wu Xie was stunned. Although he was somewhat shocked, he felt relieved when he thought that this divine steed came from the Heavenly Court.

"Master, I want to fight, but I don't want to leave Wushi. What do you think I should do? Should I follow the example of Lü Dongbin?"

Wu Xie was an impatient person after all, and got straight to the point after only a few pleasantries.

Gu An scrutinized him, making him feel guilty and start to get nervous.

"Want to fight? No problem, it's not difficult," Gu An said nonchalantly, as if it were a trivial matter.

Wu Xie asked cautiously, "What should I do?"

"After some time, I will take you to fight in the Chaos."

Gu An waved his sleeve and laughed, displaying an air of boundless pride, which excited Wu Xie.

belt?
The patriarch wanted to fight alongside him?
Wu Xie's fighting spirit was completely ignited, and he became excited.

"Is there anything else?"

Gu An asked, and Wu Xie immediately woke up and made way. Gu An then patted the divine steed's head, urging it to continue forward.

Only after Gu An walked past him did Wu Xie realize he should bow. He turned around and bowed to Gu An's back, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Master, I will definitely not let you down!"

Wu Xie shouted loudly, but Gu An did not turn around; he simply raised his left hand.
