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

Chapter 247 The Prophecy of the Heavenly Eye
Ji Qiankun felt very uncomfortable being stared at by Ji Xiaoyu. He didn't know when it started, but he couldn't see through his daughter. Even though his cultivation was higher than hers, he always felt that his daughter was in danger. He even suspected that his daughter had been possessed, but after examination, there were no traces of possession.

Ji Xiaoyu slowly spoke, "Father, do you know the origin of the Innate Dao Talisman?"

Ji Qiankun frowned and said, "The Innate Dao Talisman is a legacy talisman left behind by ancient immortals. They choose their masters in the cycle of reincarnation. Those who possess the Innate Dao Talisman are exceptionally talented, and they will receive the legacy every time they break through a major realm."

“Xiaoyu, it was I who introduced you to the Innate Dao Talisman back then, and I will never forget its importance. However, the Innate Dao Talisman is not unique in the world. The development of the Ji family has reached a bottleneck, and we need a force like the Seven Star Spirit Realm to open up overseas paths. Sacrifice for the family, and the family will not treat you unfairly.”

Ji Xiaoyu stood up and looked at Ji Qiankun from inside the pavilion.

The moonlit night was as still as water, and the cold wind howled.

Ji Qiankun was annoyed by Ji Xiaoyu's gaze. He was about to speak when he heard Ji Xiaoyu say:
"The innate Dao talisman within my body gave me a third eye. Do you know what my third eye has seen?"

Looking at Ji Xiaoyu's extremely cold and beautiful face, Ji Qiankun felt inexplicably uneasy. He pressed her for an answer: "What did you see?"

Ji Xiaoyu moved aside, walked around the stone table, and headed out of the pavilion. She approached Ji Qiankun step by step, and with each step she took, her aura grew stronger. Her expression was as cold as a celestial being, and her gaze was fixed on Ji Qiankun.

"I saw the Seven Star Spirit Realm shattered, and I saw millions of corpses lying within its borders, with rivers of blood flowing."

"I saw the Ji family come to an end, and the Qilin cried out in sorrow."

“I saw you, Father, your head separated from your body, your eyes wide open in death.”

Ji Xiaoyu's voice was not loud, nor was her tone gentle, but every word she uttered shook Ji Qiankun to his core.

The Primordial Dao Talisman is the result of the cultivation of ancient immortals, and no one knows exactly what kind of power it contains.

The Ji family was also unaware of the power of Ji Xiaoyu's innate Dao talisman.

Ji Xiaoyu stopped on the steps, looked at Ji Qiankun, and said, "If the Ji family only wanted me to offer up the Innate Dao Talisman, I might not refuse. But you want me dead. How can I agree to that?"

Ji Qiankun remained silent. He wanted to say something, but looking into Ji Xiaoyu's eyes, he felt that anything he said would be futile.

"No matter how much nonsense you spout, this matter is settled, and you don't have much time left!"

Ji Qiankun turned and left.

Watching his retreating figure, Ji Xiaoyu was not angry; instead, a look of disdain appeared on her face.

……

Early morning hours.

Yan Qitian opened his eyes and found himself still in the forest, with no sign of the Sword Master Fudao.

He recalled the memories of his inheritance with a complex expression.

"Divine Light of Breaking the Dao..."

He never expected that the Sword Master Fudao would bestow upon him a divine power inheritance. He had already said that he did not need any reward, yet the Sword Master Fudao still did this. He admired such conduct.

At the same time, he also knew that if he revealed this matter, the Sword Master Fudao would not let him off easily.

Fu Dao Sword Master is a great cultivator who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment and keeps his word.

He could sense that the divine light of breaking through the Dao was extraordinary; this was definitely a rare and great opportunity!

After much deliberation, he decided to make a trip to the Tai Xuan Sect.

Regardless, the fact that the Sword Master Fudao is living in seclusion within the Taixuan Sect and maintaining good relations with the sect can be seen as a way of expressing his attitude towards the Sword Master Fudao.

Moreover, he felt that this might be his opportunity.

Perhaps he can use the Tai Xuan Sect to make his path to immortality smoother.

After thinking it over, he turned and flew towards the direction of Tai Xuan Sect.

Meanwhile, inside the Third Medicine Valley, Gu An was leading his disciples in practice. The sight of over nine hundred disciples practicing together was quite impressive, and even Yang Jian was practicing very diligently.

The autumn air is crisp and clear, and the spirit is abundant.

Gu An was in a good mood, his face beaming with a smile. Seeing his sunny smile, the disciples' moods also improved.

After finishing the exercises, Gu An did not leave, but instead pulled Xiao Chuan to play chess. Other disciples wanted to watch, but he refused.

After sitting down, Xiaochuan said with great interest, "Senior brother, I won't let you win. I've won seventeen games in a row recently."

He arranged the black and white pieces on the chessboard, and then placed one himself first.

Gu An followed suit, placing his piece and asking with a smile, "How's your training going lately? Have you been taking the pills I gave you on time?"

Xiao Chuan is only three years younger than him and is not far from the limit of his lifespan. Gu An plans to let him release his cultivation in the next two years.

Unlike Li Ya and Zhen Qin, Xiao Chuan didn't venture into the world of cultivation. He had little ambition and could only help Gu An manage medicinal herbs. But in Gu An's heart, he held a significant place.

In this life, Xiao Chuan was the one who accompanied him the longest; their relationship had long since become that of family.

Xiao Chuan casually replied, "It's alright, I've taken all the pills."

He was thinking about how to play a brilliant move that would astonish his senior brother.

As soon as he placed his piece, Gu An followed suit, moving very quickly. At first, he didn't pay much attention, but as time went on, Gu An's rapid moves put immense pressure on him.

What tormented him most was that Gu An continued to show concern for him, forcing him to respond, which frustrated and drove him to the brink of madness.

Gu An could naturally see Xiao Chuan's agitation; he was doing this on purpose.

Seeing Xiao Chuan in such a state of panic, he found it extremely amusing.

Suddenly, Gu An asked, "Xiao Chuan, do you want to go down the mountain, get married, and have children?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Chuan immediately looked up and asked in a panic, "Senior brother, do you want to send me away?"

Gu An rolled his eyes at him and said, "Life is about experiencing all sorts of pleasures. I'm just letting you get married and have children. You can come back anytime you want. Of course, that depends on you. If you don't like women, then forget it."

Xiao Chuan is 138 years old and has never experienced anything between men and women. As his senior brother, Gu An feels obligated to help him.

Although Gu An has never experienced matters between men and women in this life, he has tasted the flavors of it in his previous life, so it is not surprising to him. But Xiao Chuan is different.

Xiao Chuan doesn't even read the Travelogue of the Green Knight, which makes Gu An a little worried about him.

Ogawa blushed and said, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

“What’s wrong with that? When the time comes, your senior brother will give you money. You can go down the mountain, buy a house, and a matchmaker will come to your door. Living an ordinary life for twenty or thirty years might not be a bad thing,” Gu An said softly. Then he made a move, which made Xiao Chuan’s face turn green.

Shameless!

If you're going to play chess, just play chess. Why resort to underhanded tactics?

Xiao Chuan's mind was in turmoil, but he was also moved by Gu An's words.

Gu An had another reason for sending him down the mountain: to see if Xiao Chuan could attain enlightenment after experiencing the mortal world.

Enlightenment is too mysterious; even a carefree immortal cannot make someone attain enlightenment at will.

The reason why enlightenment can change the limit of lifespan is that one has received the creation of heaven and earth. In this life, one's destiny is determined by heaven and earth.

Thus, under Gu An's relentless persuasion, Xiao Chuan was utterly defeated and left with nothing.

Gu An stood up and smiled, "Think it over carefully. If you've made up your mind, come to me anytime. Don't worry about anything. We'll always be brothers, and your senior brother will protect you for life."

Hearing this, Xiao Chuan's mood improved. He turned his head and saw that Gu An had already walked away.

For some reason, he always felt that his senior brother's arrangement meant that his time was coming to an end.

It seems that his senior brother still cares about him.

A smile appeared on Ogawa's face.

Gu An also smiled, secretly chuckling, "Little brat, you still want to beat me? You'll have to train for another eight hundred years."

On that day, Yan Qitian visited the Tai Xuan Sect, which alarmed the sect's higher-ups. Lü Baitian personally received him, and the two sides exchanged many views.

Three days later, Yan Qitian left, and the Tai Xuan Sect announced that Yan Qitian, who ranked second on the Heavenly Ranking, would become a guest elder of the Tai Xuan Sect. This news greatly excited the entire Tai Xuan Sect.

It is said that Yan Qitian left behind many cultivation techniques and spells, promising that if the Tai Xuan Sect were in trouble, they could call upon him through magical artifacts. In gratitude, the Tai Xuan Sect began to publicize Yan Qitian's deeds, making it seem as if they wanted to make Yan Qitian the number one cultivator in the Tai Xuan Sect.

Yan Qitian's arrival shook the cultivation world, and all dynasties and sects felt the pressure. As a result, they launched diplomatic efforts with Tai Xuan Sect. However, Cang Tian Sect remained silent and its morale was low.

Autumn has passed and winter has arrived, with snow covering the land.

Xuangu.

Gu An stood by the window, admiring the snowy scenery.

His divine consciousness is enveloping the continent.

He couldn't force his way into the Seven Star Spirit Realm, mainly because it was too vast, and there were also the Five Directions Star Cave overseas. It would be difficult for him to wipe them all out in one fell swoop, and it would easily alert other overseas forces or great cultivators.

Therefore, he planned to eliminate the Six Star Cave and Seven Star Cave on the mainland first.

Gu An was able to detect their little world and was waiting for a change to occur in the Seven Star Spirit Realm before making his move.

Since the appearance of the Mysterious City, many great cultivators from the ocean have traveled across the continent, including the Star Sea Cult. The Star Sea Cult has been investigating the Seven Star Spirit Realm, and battles between the two sides frequently break out on the continent.

Gu An planned to wait until the Star Sea Sect made a big fuss before descending upon the Seven Star Spirit Realm to annihilate all the high-level cultivators and eliminate the Seven Star Spirit Realm from the continent.

At that time, the Star Sea Sect will surely take advantage of the situation to move north, squeezing the borders of the Seven Star Spirit Realm and forcing the Seven Star Spirit Realm to neglect the mainland.

Today, Gu An suddenly sensed a special power brewing within the Seven Star Spirit Realm, which piqued his curiosity.

He saw the true form of that power, which made him even more eager for what was to come.

"This world is indeed full of hidden talents and powerful forces."

Gu An silently thought about it, then turned around and sat down at his desk, picking up the Tai Xuan Secret Manual from the table.

Only by reading more books can one truly understand what constitutes a classic.

A classic is something you never get tired of watching.

Turning the pages one by one is like seeing the rings of a tree.

Three years passed quickly.

Gu An's lifespan once again exceeded ten million years. On this day, he closed the Tai Xuan Secret Manual, put it into his storage bag, then stood up and walked out of the pavilion.

The summer sun was blazing, and the chirping of insects filled the air. The sunlight shone on Gu An, reminding him of the scene when he first entered Xuan Valley at the age of fifteen. He looked closely and saw Lu Jiujia instructing the newly arrived disciples who were doing odd jobs.

Lu Jiujia's figure gradually overlapped with Zhang Chunqiu's in Gu An's eyes.

A century has passed, and things have changed, but some traces remain.

Gu An smiled and began to ponder what kind of magical artifact would be best for the upcoming battle. Simply crushing the enemy with magical power was rather boring.
