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

Chapter 276 The Status of Human Peak
"Fellow Daoist, could you introduce me to the Holy Court?" Gu An did not immediately accept Bai Ziya's invitation, but instead asked.

Within the vast Heaven and Earth, there once existed a world filled with immortals and spirits. Could it be the Holy Court?

No, that dynasty, though powerful, is by no means the most powerful in the world. There is an incomparably vast continent in the mortal realm, and Xiaoyao Yuanxian's divine sense felt an obstacle as soon as it approached the edge of the continent.

That continent must be where the Holy Court is located!

Bai Ziya looked at Gu An suspiciously. How come this person doesn't even know about the Holy Court? How long has he been in seclusion?

Although he was confused, he still gave the truthful account.

The Holy Court is the absolute ruler of the Heavenly Spirit Great World and the birthplace of the Immortal Path, located in the Dao Divine Continent of the Heavenly Spirit Great World.

Dao Shenzhou is the largest continent in the Tianling Great World, and the human race also originated from Dao Shenzhou, eventually spreading throughout the entire Tianling Great World.

The Holy Court will not interfere in the affairs of the world, but it will protect the safety of the world. If a cataclysmic disaster or an attack by extraterrestrial demons occurs, they will take action. At the same time, they also govern the world's destiny sects. If the world's destiny sects do something that harms the common people, they will send people to punish them.

Within the vast Heavenly Spirit Realm, the cultivators of the Holy Court represent immortals and gods.

Not all sects can obtain the sacred position of destiny in the Holy Court. The sacred position of destiny can not only increase one's understanding of the rules of heaven and earth, but also extend one's lifespan, making it the pursuit of countless cultivators.

"Human Peak may not be as powerful as it was in ancient times, but it has a profound foundation. Many of our ancestors have ventured beyond the heavens. If we meet, we can help each other. The peak master has great power. He serves as an official in the Holy Court and can also govern the millions of disciples of a peak." Bai Ziya's tone was full of arrogance, as if Human Peak was the strongest destiny sect in the human world.

Gu An asked curiously, "How does Human Peak compare to the Star Sea Sect, the Seven Star Spirit Realm, the Deep Sea Spirit Palace, and the Bitter Sea Buddhist Sect?"

Bai Ziya glared and said, "Can the Star Sea Sect, the Seven Star Spirit Realm, and the Deep Sea Spirit Palace compare to our Human Peak? The founder of the Star Sea Sect once cultivated on our Human Peak. They have been grateful to us for generations. As for the Seven Star Spirit Realm and the Deep Sea Spirit Palace, they are just third-rate sects. The Bitter Sea Buddhism is somewhat powerful, but that's only because the Holy Heaven has been interested in Buddhism for the past million years."

"Once the Emperor's favor fades, it's uncertain whether they will be able to maintain their position!"

The Holy Heaven is the master of the Holy Court, named after Heaven, and his true name cannot be spoken.

Bai Ziya's tone was full of disdain, which made Gu An fantasize about Renjian Peak.

He stared at Gu An and said, "How about it? Fellow Daoist Meng, join the Human Realm Peak. Although there is no Holy Court to restrain us in the Outer Heavens, we still care about background. The Human Realm Peak has a lot of influence."

Gu An hesitated and said, "To be honest, I am somewhat reluctant to go to the Holy Court to take the throne of destiny."

The position of destiny sounds very appealing, but there are too many intricacies involved in destiny. The Holy Court is very likely to control all the positions of destiny through destiny, which touches upon his bottom line.

"What kind of nonsense is this? If you don't want it, I naturally won't force you. I can leave the spot to someone else. So many people want the position of destiny, they'd bang their heads against the wall if they couldn't get it. If you have the position of destiny, any sect in the mortal world will have to respect you. As long as you don't go too far, you'll be a guest of honor wherever you go. Not every immortal can have a position of destiny." Bai Ziya shook his head and chuckled.

Gu An asked curiously, "It's so rare, how could you bear to give it to me, fellow Daoist? We've only just met, and you're already inviting me like this..."

Bai Ziya coughed lightly and said, "It's because you have outstanding talent and no background. In the Tianling Great World, there are very few Heavenly Immortals who are not affiliated with any sect. Although the Human Realm Peak is powerful, it is not invincible. Of course, if you cause trouble after joining the Human Realm Peak, the Human Realm Peak will not let you off easily. Our Human Realm Peak has transcendent beings who surpass Heavenly Immortals."

After reaching the Celestial Immortal Realm, it is extremely difficult to break through to a minor realm. He has not broken through to a minor realm for ten thousand years.

Gu An was not surprised; he had long suspected that a carefree immortal was hiding in the mortal realm.

He continued, "Why don't you go to other sects to find Celestial Immortals? For example, the Star Sea Sect has Celestial Immortals."

Bai Ziya shook his head and said, "It's not that easy to dig. Putting aside cause and effect and sentiment, those Heavenly Immortals have great power in their respective sects and regions. They can even exploit the cultivation resources of all living beings for themselves. If you join the Human Peak, even if your status is higher than theirs, it will be difficult to obtain the same resources as them. Of course, if you join their sect now, it will also be difficult to surpass them. They have been operating for tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years."

Gu An thought it made sense.

He thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I will join Human Peak, but I cannot go to Human Peak for the time being."

"No problem. Actually, Renjian Peak won't hold you back. Your disciples will be more than happy if you're not on Renjian Peak, so they can live a carefree life. My disciples and grand-disciples will probably forget about me soon." Bai Ziya said with a self-deprecating laugh.

He then took out a piece of green jade, on which a mountain peak was carved.

"This is a jade from the mortal realm, symbolizing your status as the peak master. You can show it to any disciple of the Mortal Realm Peak or any affiliated sect you encounter in the future. Of course, with your cultivation level, you are more than capable of dominating the mortal realm," Bai Ziya said with a smile.

Gu An took the jade from the human world and examined it carefully.

He asked, "Aren't you afraid that after I receive the jade, I'll act recklessly and then run away?"

Bai Ziya laughed and said, "If you cause trouble, the Holy Court will deal with you. As long as it is found that you have never stayed at the Human Realm Peak, the Holy Court will not blame the Human Realm Peak. In fact, when you reveal the Human Realm Jade, you will also add strength to the Human Realm Peak and let the world know that the Human Realm Peak has gained another Celestial Immortal."

These words made Gu An even more wary of the Holy Court.

No wonder the Seven Star Spirit Realm dared not openly plot against the common people of the continent; it turns out they were afraid of the Holy Court.

At that time, the Star Sea Sect also sent many disciples to the mainland to collect evidence of the Seven Star Spirit Realm's crimes, seemingly intending to file a complaint.

The Holy Court protects all living beings, but not religious sects. However, the world is too vast, and the Holy Court cannot take care of every living being. There will always be places where people suffer, and the Holy Court cannot manage so many.

Gu An then continued to inquire about the forces of Human Peak. Bai Ziya did not hide anything and told him which forces were on good terms with Human Peak, which forces were subordinate forces, and of course, there were also those that were hostile.

Overall, Human Peak has far more allies than enemies, which is why it has been able to stand tall among humans.

As they chatted, the conversation drifted to the heavens. Gu An deliberately revealed his longing for the celestial realm to avoid Bai Ziya returning to the mortal world to investigate him. After talking for a long time, Gu An finally took his leave. Instead of heading towards the Heavenly Spirit Realm, he flew into the depths of the universe.

Bai Ziya gazed thoughtfully in the direction Gu An had left.

"He mentioned the Star Sea Sect, the Seven Star Spirit Realm, and the Deep Sea Spirit Palace. These three forces are adjacent to each other. Could he be from that region? I have to go and see. How could such a place give birth to a Celestial Immortal without any sect background? How strange."

……

After bidding farewell to Bai Ziya, Gu An pretended to fly to the Realm of Annihilation. Once he was free from the divine sense range of the Celestial Immortal, he used the Limitless Free Step to return to the mortal world.

Gu An's soul returned to his body. He stretched, and it was still dark.

He could sense Ji Xiaoyu's aura of gathering energy downstairs.

"Though the heavens are vast, I feel more at ease in the human world," Gu An thought with a smile.

He doesn't need any special opportunities, so he won't venture into the Realm of Annihilation and fight against the Heavenly Demons.

Take it easy!
Based on his annual lifespan income, he couldn't even imagine how powerful he would be ten thousand years from now.

Ten thousand years is not a long time for immortals who ascend to heaven and earth, let alone for immortals of wondrous magic.

Gu An picked up a travelogue and began to read it.

The moon sets and the sun rises.

Another sunrise swept across the Medicine Valley.

Gu An got up, straightened his clothes, and then went downstairs to lead his disciples in their exercises.

It's quite a sight to see nearly a thousand people practicing exercises.

Ji Xiaoyu walked out of the room. She didn't practice the exercises herself, but just watched the disciples practice, which had become a habit of hers.

After the exercise was over, Li Lingtian came running over excitedly and said with a smile, "Little Sister Xiaoyu, I've recently learned a very powerful spell. Would you like to see it?"

Ji Xiaoyu didn't even look at him directly, her gaze fixed on Gu An.

Li Lingtian noticed her gaze and immediately felt jealous. He whispered, "Little sister Xiaoyu, my senior brother Gu is quite the ladies' man. He has a junior sister, and the Holy Maiden of the Dao Tian Sect also has feelings for him. By the way, Senior Lu, who left before, also wanted him to be his Daoist partner."

Ji Xiaoyu frowned slightly, glanced at him, and asked, "Why are you telling me all this?"

Li Lingtian coughed lightly and said, "I'm afraid you don't know."

Ji Xiaoyu said coldly, "Do you know why you are inferior to Yang Jian?"

"why?"

"Because your mind is impure. A cultivator is thinking about romantic love. It's so outdated and unseemly. I have feelings for him, but I have no intention of becoming his Daoist partner. My ambition is to cultivate immortality and seek the Dao, and so does his. So even though he has so many female confidantes, he doesn't have a Daoist partner."

Ji Xiaoyu said calmly, and then she walked past Li Lingtian toward Gu An.

Li Lingtian stood there, looking embarrassed, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he was pondering Ji Xiaoyu's words.

Yes.

He's still being moved by love? What kind of cultivator is he?
Thinking about it carefully, Yang Jian was simply a cultivation fanatic. Apart from cultivating and doing chores, I never saw him do anything else.

Li Lingtian rubbed his chest; it still hurt from sparring with Yang Jian last night.

Gu An didn't pay attention to the conversation between Li Lingtian and Ji Xiaoyu. He chatted with Ji Xiaoyu for a while and then rode away on the Blood Prison Great Sage, with Yang Jian following behind.

Today is harvest day again!

that's it.

A month passed quickly.

On this day, Gu An arrived at Tianhuang Mountain and visited Nianchu Cave.

Upon seeing him, Tian Yao'er was very excited and immediately came over, saying, "Master, there's something going on in the secluded paradise! Some immortal herbs have ripened!"

Upon hearing this, Gu An immediately became interested and invited Tian Qing and Tian Bai to go to the secluded paradise together.

Tianqing and Tianbai immediately clung to his arms, making it impossible for Tianyao'er to get close to Gu An.
