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

Chapter 1038 Transcending Mortality
Since Gu An allowed his disciples to leave the dojo, the dojo has become deserted. Less than 10% of the disciples remain, and most of them are cultivating on the mountain. No one cares about Bai Tao Immortal Lord's cries.

All the disciples knew that their patriarch had become an immortal, and that his immortal rank was extremely high.

They don't usually meet or chat with these prisoners, so apart from a few, the other prisoners don't know Gu An's identity or what kind of predicament they are in.

The deity who came to visit Gu An this time still did not see Gu An. He and his subordinate immortals did see An Xin, but because he was a supreme immortal, it was impolite for An Xin to only have An Zizai receive him.

After learning that An Xin was Gu An's eldest disciple, the God Venerable did not put on airs, and the two chatted very pleasantly.

Anxin also heard the word "Supreme" from them, which made her understand her master's status in the Heavenly Court.

"He's only been ascended for a short time, yet he's already advanced to the Heavenly Dao Supreme..."

Even Anxin was shocked by her master's abilities; what a great achievement that must have been!

Although their master often went out, his disciples felt that he had never traveled far, since he would only be gone for a few days at most before returning.

It's incredible that they were able to help the Heavenly Court achieve great things in such a short time.

Anxin thought about the other disciples' evaluation of Gu An. The disciples all thought that Gu An was very idle, but in fact, Gu An was secretly protecting the Heavenly Dao and relieving suffering.

Behind the seemingly calm demeanor lies a responsibility that the disciples cannot even imagine.

If you put yourself in the master's shoes, you'll see that the master has to face both chaotic pressure and teach his disciples. Under such circumstances, the master is still able to continuously break through.

Just thinking about it filled her with endless admiration for her master, like a flowing river.

After seeing the immortals off, An Xin took out the Wushi Master Sword and stepped into the Wushi Realm.

She opened her eyes and came to the top of the layers of clouds. Looking down, she could not see the earth or the ocean. Looking into the distance, she could see stars dotting the blue sky, and even nebulae surging on the horizon.

Boundless in its magnificence, brimming with spiritual energy.

This is the Boundless Realm.

An independent world that has not yet been built, the spiritual energy here is different from the outside world. An Xin often comes to the Wushi Realm to comprehend the Dao. She can feel the vast power contained in the Wushi Main Sword. This power is at her disposal, making her feel that she does not need to cultivate.

However, she eventually managed to control her emotions and began to comprehend higher levels of power through the Boundless Sword.

Currently, there are no disciples in the Wushi Realm. All the Wushi disciples are traveling outside, trapped in the allure of the world, and cannot extricate themselves for the time being. For Anxin, the current tranquility is quite good, because she can use the Wushi fortune to glimpse the future of her disciples. There will be many troubles waiting for her to solve in the future, so she cherishes her current life.

Anxin landed on a cloud and began to close her eyes to comprehend the Dao, with the Primordial Sword of Nothingness floating in front of her.

It was just a wooden sword, but now it radiated a divine silver light, making it look extremely extraordinary.

Sudden.

Anxin's consciousness was dragged by a powerful force. She felt as if she had been pushed and staggered forward two steps. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a dark void.

Below is a long, shimmering road that stretches to the horizon, with countless stars floating along it.

This is……

The Great Way?

Anxin squinted her eyes and caught sight of the Wushi Master Sword right beside her, which immediately put her mind at ease.

She didn't know when it started, but the Wushi Zhujian had become her greatest source of confidence. When she grasped the hilt of the Wushi Zhujian, her heart immediately calmed down.

Her gaze swept towards the end of the Great Path, and she sensed someone watching her, perhaps with malice. Soon, she saw a colossal figure emerge from the darkness. The Great Path was vast, yet before this behemoth, it seemed like a stream before a mountain, as if it could be trampled and broken at any moment.

She saw arms appearing and disappearing, revealing a mysterious being with a human-like upper body and eight arms. Its true form was unclear, and each of its hands seemed to be holding something.

Just looking at that figure from afar made An Xin feel depressed, and her mood became gloomy.

She suddenly realized that this was not the main road.

"Don't worry, do you know what the end of cultivating immortality and attaining enlightenment is?"

A hoarse and aged voice rang out, causing An Xin to frown.

The other person's words made her sense a conspiracy.

She felt the immense power contained within the Boundless Sword, and her mind calmed down.

She can trust the precious treasure her master bestowed upon her!
"Oh? I can hear what you have to say." An Xin said expressionlessly, her eyes fixed on the mysterious eight-armed figure in the darkness, a sense of excitement rising within her.

Her life had been too peaceful during her long years of cultivation, but now that she's encountered some trouble, it might become an exciting story.

……

Under a clear, cloudless sky, rolling hills rise and fall, and a small river flows along the mountainside. Halfway up the mountain, beside the river, sits a small pavilion, where two people are drinking wine.

One of them was none other than Gu An.

He was dressed in a green robe, and his aura was faint. He didn't look like a cultivator; he looked more like a scholar from the mortal world.

Sitting opposite him was a young monk, wearing a kasaya, whose hands were constantly touching the roast chicken on the table.

"Why is this chicken so hot? It shouldn't be like this, it's been quite a while already," the young monk muttered, looking somewhat annoyed.

Gu An, holding a wine bowl in one hand and waving a folding fan in the other, laughed and said, "It's one thing for you to break your vows as a monk, but why are you so impatient?"

The young monk stopped and said with a smile, "Amitabha, benefactor, this humble monk has not broken any precepts. I eat meat and drink wine without leaving a trace of meat in my intestines. If this humble monk does not eat it, then others will. Others cannot bear the sin of that. This humble monk is willing to go to hell in place of others."

Gu An was already used to his witty remarks, so she just smiled and didn't continue to tease him.

After a while, the young monk finally tore a chicken leg off the roast chicken. He blew on it as he started to eat it, his handsome face turning red from the heat.

Gu An smiled and watched him, waiting for him to finish eating.

After the young monk finished eating the whole roasted chicken, he sucked on his fingers and said with a satisfied smile, "What good deeds, what good deeds!"

He looked at Gu An, his eyes full of admiration.

"Benefactor, you treated this humble monk to chicken, and I have nothing to repay you with, but I would like to tell your fortune." The young monk wiped his oily hands on his robe and then looked at Gu An with a smile.

Gu Anle laughed and asked, "How come you, a Buddhist, also know Taoist arts?"

"What Buddha, what Tao, all cultivate in the world, their origins are the same, why care about those empty names?" the young monk waved his hand and said. After saying that, he raised his hand, grabbed Gu An's hand, put down the wine bowl in his hand, and then opened Gu An's palm.

He stared at Gu An's palm, muttering something under his breath, his eyes darting around rapidly.

Suddenly, he jumped up, backed away, and exclaimed in astonishment, "Transcending the mortal realm! How is that possible?"
