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

Chapter 1040 Nine Netherworld
Gu An didn't take Luo Xu Saint Venerable's threat to heart. Nowadays, he really didn't take saints seriously.

"Then I thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist. However, I also advise you not to get involved in this mess."

Gu An said softly, his gaze fixed on the dark figure by the pavilion, making the figure feel uneasy.

Luo Xu Saint Venerable's voice did not sound again, clearly weighing the meaning of Gu An's words.

The young monk stood behind Gu An, his fear overwhelming him, especially as he looked at the dark figure; he could not remain calm.

The world fell silent, creating an even more oppressive atmosphere.

As the sound of flowing water began to ring out, the young monk inexplicably relaxed, as if the invisible pressure had dissipated.

He was about to speak when he saw Gu An raise his hand.

"Senior! I was wrong! I didn't know there were saints in this world, I..." the shadowy figure said urgently.

Before he could finish speaking, Gu An waved his sleeve, directly dispelling him.

What was dispelled was not only this divine soul, but also all the karma of the black shadow. Apart from the Holy Venerable Luo Xu, no living being in his Dao Universe would remember him.

The young monk was stunned by what he saw.

He could still remember the shadowy figure, which was something Gu An had deliberately done to make him remember the experience.

"What was that dark figure just now? And who was that person who spoke, and where did they speak from?" The young monk walked past Gu An and asked cautiously.

Ignoring the lifespan-stealing prompt, Gu An replied softly, "There are so many things in this world that you don't know. Don't you think it would be more meaningful and interesting for you to explore them yourself?"

After listening, the young monk remained silent for a moment, then returned to his stone bench, sat down, stared at Gu An, and asked, "Then can you tell this humble monk who you are and why you are helping this humble monk?"

“My name is Gu An, and I am your senior brother. However, that was many lifetimes ago, and you no longer remember me after countless reincarnations.”

Gu An said with a smile, raising his right hand and taking out another jar of wine.

"Senior brother...in his past life..."

The young monk was shocked by these words and didn't know whether he should believe them or not.

Gu Anke had no interest in playing the "guess who I am" game with Wuxin. He had already used this tactic on other old acquaintances. After helping Wuxin this time, he would no longer appear in Wuxin's life.

The young monk was unaware that this was his last meeting with Gu An, but he knew that today would be a turning point in his life.

Although he wasn't sure if Gu An was lying to him, Gu An had indeed saved him just now, and he had always harbored a dream of cultivating immortality, but in the past, he had been affected by the mysterious power within his body and was unable to calm down and cultivate.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Gu An took out a series of secret manuals from his sleeve and placed them on the table.

After doing all this, he stood up and said with a smile, "Junior brother, if one day you can recall your past life memories and encounter troubles that you cannot solve, you can go to Wushi and tell the Lord of Wushi the name of your past life with me. She will help you."

After saying that, Gu An turned and left.

The young monk watched him leave, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

For him in this life, they were just strangers who met by chance. After experiencing such a bizarre event, he didn't know how to face Gu An.

He turned his head to look at the table, at the books of secret techniques, and felt an indescribable regret, as if he had missed someone important.

Gu An didn't take his conversation with the sages to heart. Although these sages had many methods, seemingly all-pervasive, they were still a long way from truly entering the Chaos Realm. After meeting Wu Xin, Gu An still needed to explore other realms.

……

Time flies like an arrow.

Millions of years have passed.

The war between Chaos and the Heavenly Dao has completely ceased, the Heavenly Dao has returned to peace, and the Heavenly Dao's fortune has soared. This is most evident in the Central Heaven.

During this period, disciples of the Beginningless Realm entered the Beginningless Realm one after another. They all entered the Beginningless Realm through the Beginningless Dao Gate within the Beginningless Dao Temple, and were amazed by the vastness of the Beginningless Realm as soon as they entered.

They originally thought the Boundless Realm was a small world, but it turned out to be larger than the Central Heaven.

Even after millions of years, no disciple knows the true size of the Boundless Realm.

Besides the disciples, grand-disciples, and offspring brought in by Wushi's disciples, Gu An also began to continuously use lifespan transfer techniques. Most of the beings he resurrected came from Chaos and were used by Cangming to participate in the war.

After all, all the beings he killed within the Heavenly Dao deserved to die.

The beginningless realm itself is nothingness; with the emergence of living beings, creation will occur.

Mountains and rivers began to appear, followed by palaces and towers, and the Boundless Realm gained more color.

Atop the clouds of the Boundless Realm stands a palace, the Dao Palace of Peace, created using the fortune of the Boundless Realm.

On this day, An Zizai brought Wuxie to see An Xin.

In the main hall, Wu Xie looked around curiously. He had no objection to An Xin becoming the Lord of the Boundless Realm, not only because the Ancestor favored An Xin, but also because An Xin was powerful enough.

Among the second-generation disciples, only An Xin was someone he couldn't see through, and even felt nervous about.

An Zizai bowed to An Xin, who was sitting on a high seat. An Xin was wearing a black robe embroidered with golden phoenixes, her long hair was piled up under a white jade crown, and her makeup was cold and beautiful, like a supreme empress, exuding an immense sense of oppression.

It wasn't that Anxin did this intentionally; it was just that as she wielded the Wushi Sword for longer and longer, her aura also increased, and it had now reached a point where she could no longer contain it, because her level of cultivation was not yet able to control the power she possessed.

“Master, a disciple has been captured by a mysterious force and taken to the underworld. I have sent other disciples to investigate, but their whereabouts have stopped outside the Nine Netherworld. The Nine Netherworld is a force established by the Heavenly Court in the underworld. Without a Heavenly decree, it is forbidden to force one in. I am thinking of sending Wuxie there. What do you think?”

An Zizai spoke up, saying that since it involved the Heavenly Court, he naturally wanted to find his grandmaster. Unfortunately, since they came to the Boundless Realm, he had never seen his grandmaster again. Even when he returned to the Boundless Dojo, he could not find his grandmaster. So he could only come to Anxin.

Anxin opened her eyes and said, "The Nine Netherworld has been making quite a splash lately. They act domineeringly. Sending only Wuxie is probably not a good idea."

Gu An had previously instructed her that Wu Shi was under her full control, and he would not interfere unless Wu Shi faced annihilation.

Anxin didn't want to bother Gu An. As Wushi grew stronger, there would definitely be more friction with the Heavenly Court in the future. This was an unavoidable problem for all powerful lineages within the Heavenly Dao. How to deal with the Heavenly Court was a difficult problem in itself.

Wu Xie immediately said, "Grandmaster, don't worry. I am now a Great Immortal. Even if I am not enough to shake the Nine Netherworld, I am confident that I can save the disciples in my sect. I will not act rashly."

An Zizai nodded and said, "This kid is not what he used to be. He recently comprehended a new supernatural power. Let him try it out."

An Xin, who was in charge of the destiny of the Wushi Realm, had already seen their future when she looked at An Zizai and the other two. She knew the outcome of Wu Xie's trip. She pondered and said, "Since you want to go, then go. Remember, make sure you understand the person you are going to save. Don't blindly trust him just because he is a disciple of Wushi."
