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

Chapter 254 The Same Person

[Guo Guhong has become hostile towards you and harbors murderous intent towards you. Should you use your lifespan detection ability on him?]

Seeing Guo Guhong attack him, Gu An could only laugh.

This guy is really vicious; he attacked as soon as the killing intent arose, which shows that Guo Guhong often does this kind of thing.

Unfortunately, this time he chose the wrong opponent.

boom!
The moment Guo Guhong's claws touched Gu An's chest, a burst of power erupted, causing sand and stones to fly beneath Gu An's feet and ripples to spread across the lake. In an instant, Guo Guhong turned into ashes.

Gu An raised his hand, patted his temples, and continued forward, scattering the ashes that Guo Guhong had turned into with a single step.

He ignored the prompts about his lifespan being taken away, because his lifespan was too short.

The Beihai Lake shimmered, and a large fish leaped out from the horizon, resembling a crescent moon in mid-air.

Sunset and moonrise.

Two days later, Gu An transformed into a mountain god and came to the Mountain God Temple.

The small boy jumped down from the eaves. When Xuanmiao Zhenren heard the noise, he opened his eyes and saw that it was him. He quickly got up and bowed.

"How's the herb cultivation going? I need herbs for my alchemy again," Gu An asked as he landed and walked towards the courtyard gate.

The Mysterious Immortal stood behind him, like a mountain, but this mountain was very respectful.

"Not bad, but I don't know how much you need," Master Xuanmiao replied.

Afterwards, they left the mountain god temple and began picking medicinal herbs.

During this time, the Mysterious Immortal recounted the events that had occurred, even mentioning who had passed by the Mountain God Temple.

He was not lying. As a carefree immortal, Gu An could see what had happened here in the past, and he had nothing to hide.

Gu An wasn't interested in what he was saying, but she was satisfied with his attitude.

Having guarded this place for decades, Master Xuanmiao's attitude remains devout, and Gu An felt it necessary to reward him.

After Gu An finished picking the herbs, the two came to an open space, where he still left half of the herbs for Xuanmiao Zhenren.

Master Xuanmiao really wanted to talk to the Mountain God about the Sword Master Fudao, but he didn't know where to start, so he fell silent for a while.

"You've been quite diligent these past years, and I'm very satisfied. I'll pass on a sword technique to you; would you be willing to learn it?" Gu An stood on a rock, looking at Xuanmiao Zhenren, and asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Master Xuanmiao paused for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "Of course I am willing to learn."

Gu An raised his hand and pointed his index finger at him. In an instant, Xuanmiao Zhenren fell into a daze.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The Mysterious Immortal gradually awoke. When he opened his eyes, the Mountain God was nowhere to be seen. The afterglow of the setting sun shone into the forest, and dappled shadows of leaves fell on his face.

"Azure Star Suppressing Heaven Boundless Sword..."

The Mysterious Immortal was shocked; how could there be such profound swordsmanship in the world?

and……

Why did he feel that this sword technique was somewhat similar to the sword technique of his Li family?

However, he cultivated in Sanqing Mountain from a young age. Although he was related to the royal family of the Taicang Dynasty by blood, he did not study the Li family's heritage.

"The Mountain God also knows swordsmanship. I wonder who is stronger, his or the Sword Master Fudao's?"

Xuanmiao Zhenren couldn't help but think that after hearing about the power of Fudao Sword Venerable, he couldn't help but try to guess Fudao Sword Venerable's cultivation level.

He had to admit that the personal charisma of the Sword Master Fudao was indeed powerful, captivating him greatly.

Sin, sin!
How could I be disloyal to the mountain god?

Master Xuanmiao tried his best to suppress the agitation in his heart, but a guess arose in his mind that he himself dared not believe.

Could the Mountain God and the Sword Master of the Way be the same person?
Before the invasion of overseas cultivators, how could there have been two transcendent beings above the Seven Star Spirit Realm on the mainland at the same time?

……

The news that the Sword Master Fudao had annihilated the Seven Star Spirit Realm Immortals continues to spread.

In the days that followed, Tai Xuan Sect and Seven Star Spirit Realm successively announced their friendship and pledged to jointly protect the people of the continent and set an example for the righteous path. This event solidified Tai Xuan Sect's position as the number one sect in the cultivation world of the three dynasties.

This event dramatically increased the appeal of the Tai Xuan Sect, and more and more people came to join and pay homage to the sect.

The autumn wind blew into the Tai Xuan Sect, but it could not bring any desolation to the sect.

In the mountains and forests.

Sitting on the back of the Blood Prison Great Sage, Gu An turned his head to look at the group of teenagers who had just passed by them, his heart filled with emotion.

This group of teenagers was led by two adult men, one the village chief and the other a schoolteacher. They had come to Tai Xuan Sect specifically to seek the path to immortality.

Such a sight is rare, especially in the mountains and forests between Xuan Valley and Tianya Valley.

Gu An turned around, looked ahead, and asked casually, "What do you think of the Tai Xuan Sect now?"

The Great Sage of Blood Prison thought for a moment and said, "It's not bad. It seems to be getting better, and it is indeed the righteous path. The atmosphere is very good in both Medicine Valley and the outer city."

He knew that the Tai Xuan Sect's current success was entirely due to the efforts of the people behind him.

If the Tai Xuan Sect displeases Gu An, today's prosperity could turn into a mirage at any moment.

After riding the mount for a long time, the Blood Prison Great Sage also developed some affection for the Tai Xuan Sect. Although there were quite a few scoundrels in the Medicine Valley, they were not bad overall.

Compared to the lower realm sects he came from, the Tai Xuan Sect was much more harmonious. Apart from not being as strong, it suited his ideal of a celestial realm. He could also sense the recent rise in the Tai Xuan Sect's fortune and felt that its power would be immeasurable a thousand years from now.

"If it can be considered the right path, then that's good enough," Gu An said with a soft laugh.

A man and an ox walked through the mountains, gradually disappearing into the depths of the forest.

An hour later.

Gu An rode the Blood Prison Great Sage and slowly entered Tianya Valley.

He sensed that there were other people in the valley.

Li Xuandao has arrived!
Gu An remained calm and continued forward leisurely.

Li Xuandao was drinking tea in a courtyard when a boy practicing swordsmanship behind him appeared to be only seven or eight years old, but his swordsmanship was smooth and agile.

Luo Hun stood to the side, his eyes fixed on the boy practicing swordsmanship, afraid that he might hurt himself.

When Li Xuandao saw Gu An from afar, a smile appeared on his face.

"This kid has become quite high-profile; he certainly knows how to enjoy himself," Li Xuandao couldn't help but chuckle.

Gu An rode a majestic and imposing demonic pet, wearing a gorgeous and exquisite blue robe, and a dark gold crown that looked expensive. He had the air of a celestial being.

Lu Xian, who was meditating and cultivating on the mountaintop, also saw Gu An and was amazed by Gu An's attire.

For some reason, there was an aura about Gu An that made him uneasy. He couldn't explain this unease; it was like an instinct.

Upon seeing Li Xuandao's gaze, Gu An patted the ox's back, urging the Blood Prison Great Sage to quicken his pace.

Soon, the Blood Prison Great Sage arrived in front of the courtyard. Gu An rolled down and quickly stepped into the courtyard.

"Uncle, it's been a long time." Gu An raised his hand in greeting.

He habitually threw a lifespan probe at the boy.

[Li Lingtian (Qi Refining Realm, Level 4): 8/110/8999]

Ok?
A lifespan of 8,999 years?
Something!

Gu An was curious, but his face remained calm.

"It really has been a long time. I've been here for two days, waiting specifically for you. I won't leave until I see you," Li Xuandao said with a smile.

He is now in high spirits, and the struggle for supremacy among the three dynasties continues, but everyone in the world can feel the overwhelming power of the Taicang Dynasty.

Li Xuandao is very likely to unify the world in the next few years, something no one has accomplished in the past thousands of years.

Li Xuandao's own cultivation was also growing rapidly, not far from the ninth level of the Integration Realm. This guy was actually able to catch up with Lü Baitian's cultivation in a hundred years.

The two began exchanging pleasantries. In response to Li Xuandao's concern, Gu An talked about his medicine valley, mostly about mundane matters, but Li Xuandao listened attentively.

Putting aside the relationship between Gu An and Li Ya, Gu An has been quite satisfied with his management of Tianya Valley over the years.

As they chatted, Li Xuandao began to joke about Gu An's current appearance, saying that he was completely different from before.

"Life is short, so enjoy it while you can. I may not be able to stir up the world like my uncle and senior brother Li, but I can still live a glorious life in my own little world, can't I?" Gu An said with a smile, touching the Immortal King Crown on his head as he spoke.

Li Xuandao smiled and said, "Your crown seems to be missing some gemstones. Do you need my help? Or I can give you something better."

Better?
I'm afraid you can't afford to send it.

Gu An shook his head and declined, and Li Xuandao did not force him. He waved to Li Lingtian.

Young Li Lingtian immediately ran over, staring at Gu An with curiosity.

Looking at his little face, Gu An couldn't help but think of Li Ya when he was fifteen years old; the two had somewhat similar eyebrows.

"This is your Senior Brother Gu, who is closest to your Imperial Brother Li Ya," Li Xuandao introduced to Li Lingtian.

Li Lingtian immediately bowed to Gu An, doing so in a very proper and adorable manner.

Gu An was pondering what to give as a gift when Li Lingtian asked, "Senior Brother Gu, I heard you wrote Journey to the West. Have you ever met Sun Wukong?"

Gu An was stunned and looked at Luo Hun, who turned his head away.

Li Xuandao maintained his smile, clearly already aware of the matter.

Back then, he even consulted Gu An about the Investiture of the Gods.

Gu An suddenly wondered if Li Xuandao had known he was Pan An all along and was deliberately trying to find out what was going on with him.
But that's no longer important.

"I've seen him. He appeared in my dreams. In reality, I have a disciple named Yang Jian," Gu An said with a smile, patting Li Lingtian's head.

"Erlang Shen Yang Jian? Is he powerful? Can I spar with him?" Li Lingtian immediately became excited, clenching his two small hands into fists.

Gu An smiled and said, "Of course, but we'll have to wait until you grow up."

Li Lingtian nodded obediently, then said like a little adult, "Senior Brother Gu, you have to make your disciple cultivate well. My uncle said I have the destiny of being the number one in the world, and I'm afraid your disciple won't be enough for me to beat."

Li Xuandao glared at him and said, "What did your father teach you? He taught you to be humble!"

Li Lingtian said aggrievedly, "That's what my uncle said, and even my mother said that everything in this world was born for me, so I can be more confident."

Li Xuandao's face instantly turned ugly.

Gu Anze chuckled and said, "Alright, Senior Brother Gu will make sure he cultivates properly. Then promise Senior Brother Gu that before sparring with my disciple, you will cultivate properly and not fight with anyone else. Can you do that?"
