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

Chapter 1116 Test
A thousand years can pass in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Gu An returned to the Boundless Realm alone. He rode the clouds and admired the Boundless Realm as it was now.

A thousand years is enough for the Boundless Realm to change its appearance. The Boundless Realm has been expanding, and the creatures living here will reproduce, naturally bringing about ever-changing changes to the Boundless Realm.

Although the beings born in the Boundless Realm cannot increase Gu An's lifespan by breaking through, they can strengthen the Boundless Realm. The stronger the Boundless Realm is, the stronger Gu An will be. Every being here can help him become stronger.

Gu An didn't want to create primordial beings directly before, and he still doesn't now.

If he were to create it, and the people later rebel against him, he would hesitate about whether or not to kill them.

But things are different now. The common people are now essentially living in the Boundless Realm, and Gu An will not be soft-hearted in punishing them.

Of course, given his level of cultivation, he could punish anyone regardless of their background, but he retained a sliver of humanity and did not want to become a heartless saint.

The so-called ruthlessness of sages may seem like a form of fairness, but in reality, sages only prioritize their own absolute interests. In their eyes, the common people are merely pawns that can be used or discarded at will.

A ruthless saint is not necessarily bad; it's just that Gu An came from a mortal background and has long since developed a human perspective, which he quite enjoys and has no intention of giving up.

Gu An looked down and saw two people fighting among the mountains. Their figures were as graceful as startled birds, and their magic was so powerful that it shook the mountains and the earth, causing the forests to tremble.

Both of them were at the Daoist Canon of Freedom and Immortality, which is not considered very strong, but the supernatural powers they displayed had already surpassed their current level.

Gu An's cultivation level is far higher than that of the Dao Lord, and the creation of the Boundless Realm is naturally far higher than that of Chaos. Therefore, cultivating here will be faster and more fruitful than outside.

One of them is a disciple of the Wushi lineage, whose lineage can be traced back to Tianqing.

Since the end of the Great War of Saints, the second-generation disciples have all gone into seclusion. Although the internal strife of that year was contained, it deeply shocked the second-generation disciples because they discovered that they could not control Wushi and might even be threatened by the younger generation of disciples. How could they bear this?
Gu An admired the performance of the younger generation. The two were sparring amicably. Although they were giving their all, they had no intention of killing each other. Such a scene was not uncommon in the Boundless Realm.

It is unknown when it began, but becoming a saint has become the ultimate goal pursued by all beings since time immemorial. Even beings who have just embarked on the path of cultivation take this goal as their primary objective. This was also Anxin's plan, as she passed on the concept of pursuing sainthood to the hearts of generations of disciples.

After watching for a while, Gu An continued flying forward.

He wasn't flying very fast, but he enjoyed the scenery along the way.

It took him a full half day to finally arrive at Anxin's temple.

As the ruler of the Boundless Realm, An Xin wields the greatest power. Since she established her Daoist temple, Gu An has favored the creation of heaven and earth on her temple, making it the place with the most concentrated Daoist intent within the Boundless Realm. This has enabled her cultivation to advance rapidly, widening the gap between her and other second-generation disciples.

She was already a perfected Great Luo Immortal.

Even in the Heavenly Court, he would be considered top-tier, comparable to many supreme immortals.

Gu An walked through the gate and stepped into the hall. He deliberately made footsteps to make An Xin open her eyes.

Anxin opened her eyes and saw that it was Gu An, so she quickly got up and bowed.

Gu An walked up to her and asked with a smile, "What's gotten into you lately? The power of the Absolute Void Eye keeps sweeping across the heavens."

The Absolute Void Eye is a reliable source of reassurance. Apart from Gu An, no third person would use it. When she uses the Absolute Void Eye to observe the Heavenly Dao and Chaos, only a Sage can perceive it. The Heavenly Emperor, Ancestor Hong Qian, and the Great Xuan Yin Ruler all know about her relationship with Gu An, so they naturally turn a blind eye, but they also have their doubts.

The true disciples of the patriarch are truly remarkable; they are utterly unrestrained.

Because Anxin would occasionally glance at them.

Upon hearing this, An Xin looked embarrassed and said, "Lately, I've been feeling uneasy while cultivating. I'm worried that another calamity is about to befall the Heavenly Dao, so I'm constantly observing it."

Gu An asked, "If a calamity that could threaten the Heavenly Dao were to truly occur, what could you do?"

An Xin immediately said with radiant eyes, "Master, my Absolute Emptiness Eye has reached a new level. I can switch between reality and illusion, and even reverse the flow of creation. I can revive people whose souls have been scattered in a short time. This also allows me to sense more of the Great Dao..."

When talking about Jue Xutong's progress, she spoke at length and was very excited.

The Absolute Void Eye is her secret; she can only reveal it to her master and express her excitement to him.

Gu An listened patiently. He could understand An Xin's feelings. When he first mastered the Absolute Void Eye, he was just as excited as she was, thinking that these eyes were omnipotent.

After An Xin finished speaking, Gu An said, "The Absolute Void Eye can indeed easily perceive changes in the Great Dao. The reason why there are so many variables in the world is related to the previous invasion by the Sage. This situation will continue for a long time. If you keep worrying about this matter, it will affect your cultivation."

"I see. No wonder I didn't notice anything amiss, yet that feeling was still there," An Xin said thoughtfully.

"Perhaps you could go and clear your head," Gu An said with a smile.

Anxin said helplessly, "Master, my Dao heart is not as stable as yours. I can't be a carefree hermit at all. Once I stop and do nothing, I will feel uneasy and always feel that I will fall behind others."

She is now being chased by the second-generation disciples and bears the responsibility for the entire Boundless Realm. All kinds of pressures are forcing her to want to become stronger, and she is never satisfied.

"Since that's the case, then I'll assign you a task. You have to do it well, okay?" Gu An said, his smile fading and his expression turning serious.

Upon hearing this, An Xin's expression turned serious. She nodded and waited for her master to assign her a task.

“Ancestor Zhenyuan is preparing to open a Daoist temple in the Chaos Realm outside the Heavenly Dao. As a listener of the Dao in Lingxiao, his actions have attracted much attention. He has invited all the Daoist lineages of the heavens to come and discuss the Dao. You should lead a group of Wushi disciples there.”

"Ancestor Zhenyuan? He really loves discussing the Dao."

After listening, Anxin sighed with some emotion. She had a good impression of the True Origin Ancestor. This person's cultivation was unfathomable. He did not participate in any disputes and was a true cultivator. He could even preach to mortals. He was one of the few immortals with an excellent reputation in the Heavenly Dao.

Gu An reminded him, "This time the situation is different. He will encounter trouble. At that time, you can do whatever you want. As for the outcome, I will not tell you for now. Just treat this as a form of self-cultivation. Ask your true self at the crucial moment."

Upon hearing this, An Xin frowned.

If it could cause trouble for the True Essence Ancestor, it must be something extraordinary. However, having experienced the Tribulation of the Saint, she wouldn't be so nervous facing enemies below the Saint level.

She wondered if the True Essence Ancestor had a relationship with her master.
