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

Chapter 217 The Nine Transformations of the Soaring Dragon, The Mystic City
Chi Jiuxiao noticed An Hao's nervousness, so he raised his hand, took out a scroll, and tossed it to An Hao.

An Hao caught it subconsciously, and then heard Chi Jiuxiao say, "Take a look, this is a divine power that I obtained by chance."

After saying this, Chi Jiuxiao sat down on the spot and began to use his internal energy to heal his injuries.

After hesitating for a moment, An Hao still probed into it with his divine sense.

After a while, An Hao's expression changed drastically, and his hand holding the scroll trembled.

He withdrew his divine sense, then took out an eighth-grade heavenly treasure from his storage bag—a bright red spiritual flower—which he personally offered to Chi Jiuxiao.

Chi Jiuxiao raised his hand and captured the eighth-tier spiritual flower.

He stood up, took out a medicine cauldron that was ten feet tall, threw the spiritual flower in his hand into it, and then threw in many other medicinal herbs.

After starting the fire, he took out a small bottle and poured water into the cauldron. This small bottle seemed to contain another dimension, as the water could not be exhausted.

Once the medicine cauldron was filled with water, Chi Jiuxiao closed the medicine bottle and placed it into his storage artifact.

He looked at An Hao and said, "You can leave now."

Having said that, he leaped into the medicine cauldron.

An Hao hesitated for a moment, but instead of leaving, he walked to a tree next to him and sat down to meditate, beginning to comprehend the supernatural power given to him by Chi Jiuxiao.

"Nine Transformations of the Soaring Dragon..."

An Haoguang couldn't help but feel excited as he looked at the descriptions of the supernatural powers in the scroll.

And so, the days passed.

Seven days later.

Chi Jiuxiao leaped out of the medicine cauldron and landed on the ground. His wet robes quickly dried, and wisps of white smoke swirled around him.

He shrunk the medicine cauldron, put it into his hand, and then poured it on the ground to clean the residue inside with his own magic power. At the same time, he looked into the distance.

Looking through the gaps in the leaves, you can see a green dragon tumbling in the sky outside the forest.

"This kid has a remarkable understanding."

Chi Jiuxiao was secretly shocked. In just a few days, An Hao had actually mastered the supernatural power.

Such talent is rare even in the Star Sea Cult.

After putting away the medicine cauldron, he vanished into the woods.

The next second, he appeared in the air and blocked the Azure Dragon.

The azure dragon that An Hao transformed into was three zhang long, not very big, but it had a very imposing presence.

Upon seeing Chi Jiuxiao, Qinglong transformed back into An Hao's form. He excitedly exclaimed, "This divine power is amazing! After transforming, I feel like a real dragon, and my speed has also increased!"

Chi Jiuxiao said smugly, "Of course, I am Chi Jiuxiao, the Dragon-Slaying Spear Master. How could I deceive you, kid? The value of this divine ability far exceeds that of an eighth-grade heavenly treasure. You should thank me."

Upon hearing this, An Hao immediately bowed and thanked Chi Jiuxiao.

Chi Jiuxiao wore a smile on his face, but felt a little jealous inside.

He originally thought that even if he passed on the Nine Transformations of the Soaring Dragon to An Hao, An Hao would not be able to learn it. This way, he would appear generous without suffering any loss.

totally unexpected……

Chi Jiuxiao sized up An Hao and said, "Boy, join the Star Sea Sect with me. The Tai Xuan Sect is too small and not suitable for you. With your talent, if you join the Star Sea Sect, you will reach the Great Ascension stage in less than five hundred years!"

An Hao frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Is a five-hundred-year-old Mahayana practitioner really that remarkable?
An Hao always believed that his talent was unparalleled, so he did not think that reaching the Mahayana realm in five hundred years was a difficult task, and Xuan Tianyi was only a few hundred years old.

Chi Jiuxiao continued to boast about the power of the Star Sea Sect, and it was only when he mentioned Xuan Tianyi that An Hao was moved.

He had a very good relationship with Xuan Tianyi. However, in Chi Jiuxiao's words, Xuan Tianyi was just a fellow disciple with good aptitude. The reason for mentioning Xuan Tianyi was that Xuan Tianyi also came from Tai Xuan Sect.

"Forget it, I'm not going to the Star Sea Sect. I'm staying with the Tai Xuan Sect," An Hao said, shaking his head.

Chi Jiuxiao didn't try to persuade him further. After all, he wasn't the leader of the Star Sea Cult, so it would be good enough if he could be won over with a few words.

"Why are you here?" Chi Jiuxiao asked.

An Hao did not hide anything and said, "I was originally training, but I heard about the legend of the immortal treasure and wanted to go and see it."

Chi Jiuxiao laughed and said, "How about we join forces? Then we can each rely on our own abilities?"

An Hao asked hesitantly, "Can my cultivation level help you?"

"I don't know much about this continent. Tell me about what has happened here, and I'll guide you in cultivating the Nine Transformations of the Soaring Dragon. How about that?"

"Okay, thank you, senior." An Hao replied excitedly. The reason he stayed was that he wanted to learn more skills from Chi Jiuxiao.

Then, the two flew off in one direction.

……

As autumn arrives, the scorching heat of the world gradually dissipates, and the influence of the immortal treasures continues to grow, with more and more cultivators heading north to seek opportunities.

Gu An, however, remained unaffected and continued to live her ordinary yet interesting life.

Occasionally, he would go to the outer city to chat with his friends about the various events caused by the immortal treasures.

This day.

Ye Lan came to see Gu An and also talked about the cultivation world.

"A sect of the Tianwei Dynasty was razed to the ground by powerful cultivators from overseas, causing panic in the cultivation world. Fortunately, our Taixuan Sect has the protection of the Sword Venerable Fudao, so those powerful cultivators from overseas dare not act recklessly," Ye Lan said with emotion.

The battle took place late at night, and Gu An sensed it, but he didn't intervene. He had no connection with Tian Wei, so naturally he couldn't be bothered to get involved.

Such calamities are not uncommon in the cultivation world. The overseas cultivator who made the move was only at the Mahayana realm, but he was enough to crush a large sect with a million disciples.

Gu An reminded him, "Then you should go out less and stay in the sect to cultivate."

Ye Lan nodded and said, "I'm currently in charge of the Enforcement Hall, and I spend most of my time doing trivial things, mostly consuming pills and absorbing qi."

She is 101 years old, and her maximum lifespan is only 130 years. Time is running out.

Now, besides planting flowers and grass, Gu An is also urging her to cultivate.

Unlike Xiao Chuan, Ye Lan is quite ambitious, which is why Gu An is willing to help her.

As they chatted, the conversation turned to Zhen Qin.

A few days ago, Zhen Qin followed the elders and her disciples to the land of the demon race. It is said that the Tai Xuan Sect has discovered a secret realm, which is a rare opportunity.

"This girl has really soared to great heights. She might become a great cultivator of the Tai Xuan Sect in the future. Back then, when she came to the inner sect to find me, she was just a little girl, acting recklessly and speaking without any sense of propriety." Ye Lan began to reminisce about decades ago.

Gu An listened attentively, and after she finished speaking, he teased, "What? Are you envious of her? Otherwise, I'll also cultivate the Fate-Defying Divine Art and pass on my cultivation to you before I die."

Ye Lan rolled her eyes at him and said, "I don't want to. What's the point of my life without you?"

As they chatted, the teacups on the table began to tremble, and the tea rippled.

Ye Lan noticed this scene and couldn't help but frown.

Soon, even the ground began to tremble, alarming all the cultivators in the city.

Gu An looked down and saw a colossal city rising from the ground in the wilderness deep in the continent, occupying an area of ​​thousands of miles in radius, with dust billowing around it, its momentum magnificent.

That is……

Gu An could sense the immense power contained within this city; it was a magical artifact, and the strongest one he had ever seen.

He immediately thought of a name.

Supreme treasure of immortality!

The restrictions contained in this treasure are not only advanced but also extremely complex. Gu An even sensed the aura of causal rules.

The city, covering an area of ​​a thousand square miles, was incredibly vast. Its walls were hundreds of feet high, and the city was filled with buildings and palaces, as well as towering pagodas. However, it appeared ancient and dilapidated on the surface. This city had existed for thousands of years.

As soon as this city appeared, powerful cultivators scattered throughout the continent flew there one after another, including Chi Jiuxiao and An Hao, and even Li Ya and Zhang Bukui wanted to join in the fun.

"I'm going out to take a look." Ye Lan said this and then leaped up, riding her flying sword away from the mansion.

Gu An picked up his teacup and continued to sip his tea while watching the commotion.

He saw many cultivators at the Seven Star Spirit Realm enter the city first. Once inside, these cultivators disappeared, and their auras became weak.

Gu An, who was at the ninth level of the Heaven and Earth Immortal Realm, could barely sense their presence. If that was the case for him, then the situation was even more dire for other cultivators at lower levels.

No matter how many cultivators flew in, the giant city remained silent, devoid of any human presence or life.

"The City of the Gods is now open! All living beings are welcome to enter the city and seek their own destiny to become immortals!"

A loud and ancient voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, reaching every living being in every corner of the continent.

Wandering among immortals!

Gu An raised an eyebrow. There was only one wandering immortal in the Six Star Cave, but now a second one has appeared. Could it be that the death of the Divine Soul True Monarch has been discovered?
After a while, Ye Lanfei returned.

"The commotion must have come from afar. This Mystic City sounds extraordinary. I really want to go and see it," Ye Lan said longingly, sitting opposite Gu An.

Gu An shook his head and said, "Such a chance encounter with immortality is not something that cultivators like us can get our hands on."

"I know, don't worry, I won't go looking for death. With my cultivation level, I'm afraid I'll die on the road before I even see the Divine City," Ye Lan said with a shake of her head and a laugh.

Gu An didn't comfort her; it was indeed the truth.

After staying for about half an hour, Gu An left at Ye Lan's urging.

In the days that followed, various legends about the Mysterious City circulated within the Tai Xuan Sect.

Shen Zhen made a special trip to visit Gu An, bringing with him many legends about the Mysterious City.

“I once heard a senior say that the Divine City is an ancient immortal city, and its traces are hard to find. Every time it appears, it can change the world. Our Dao Tian Sect’s predecessors once unearthed a text in an ancient site that recorded the Divine City. It is an extremely ancient legend,” Shen Zhen said excitedly.

Gu An asked with a smile, "What? You want to join in the fun?"

He observes the city of the gods every day; more than ten thousand beings have entered the city, but not a single one has come out.

Shen Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going to take a look. I won't go into the city; I'll just watch the excitement from outside and draw a picture of the Mysterious City. Are you going? The deputy sect leader and the supreme elder will lead the way."

Gu An shook his head and said, "I'm not going. If something goes wrong and I die there, it's not worth it."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Are you cursing me?" Shen Zhen glared at him.

No matter how she tried to persuade him, Gu An refused to go, so she had no choice but to give up.

After Shen Zhen left, Gu An followed her downstairs and began picking herbs.

At the same time, his divine sense saw that Li Ya and Zhang Buku had also entered the Divine City.

Another person is on their way to the City of the Gods.

That was Ji Xiaoyu.
