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

Chapter 292 Do you want to join the Great Cold Demon Sect?
Gu An stayed at Hu Xiaojian's residence for an hour. After he left, Hu Xiaojian was overjoyed, his face beaming with smiles.

The senior had given him so many instructions; he certainly wouldn't easily abandon Seeking Immortal Island, and he hadn't deceived him.

Besides, why would a senior need to lie to him?
He was just a Nascent Soul cultivator. If a senior didn't want to take him under his wing, a single glare from him would silence him.

the other side.

Gu An returned to the Tai Xuan Sect. As he walked into the Third Medicine Valley, he pondered which wandering immortal he could find to assist him.

Immortal cultivators are not minor cultivators; how could they be so easily controlled?
Nine-Fingered Divine Lord was out of the question, and Gu An was afraid of exposing himself, since Nine-Fingered Divine Lord had been to Immortal Seeking Island.

Neither Shenxinzi nor Qie Wuxing are reliable.

Gu An wasn't in a hurry; there was still time. If all else failed, he could use the Jade of the Mortal Realm to summon a wandering immortal from the Mortal Realm Peak to assist him on Immortal Seeking Island.

He is now the peak master of Human Peak, which is no weaker than the Great Cold Demon Sect, and in terms of its foundation, it is even stronger than the Great Cold Demon Sect.

The Great Cold Demon Sect needs to do dirty work for the Holy Court to survive, but the Human Peak is different. The Human Peak can hold positions in the Holy Court. Over the long years, the Human Peak has sent many immortals to the Holy Court. Gu An felt that the Human Peak should not be afraid of the Great Cold Demon Sect.

Of course, Human Peak would not oppose the Great Cold Demon Sect unless there were enough benefits to drive them to dare to offend the Great Cold Demon Sect and the Holy King behind it.

Thinking of this, Gu An suddenly sighed, realizing that no matter how high one's cultivation level is, one cannot escape relationships and human connections.

Only those powerful enough to disregard the entire Immortal Path can act with impunity.

The cause and effect in the world is too complex. The causes and effects of all living beings are interconnected and intricate. Even the weakest existence, if you look at its cause and effect relationships, can always see an extremely powerful existence.

Gu An scanned the Medicine Valley but didn't see Nine-Fingered Divine Lord or Stealing the Five Elements. However, Shen Xinzi was still in the Medicine Valley, studying Journey to the West.

He couldn't understand why Shenxinzi liked Journey to the West so much. He always felt that this guy was becoming more and more distant from Buddhism, and he could no longer hear him mention Buddhism on weekdays.

Gu An didn't disturb Shen Xinzi, but instead went to his own pavilion.

More than worrying about world affairs, he was more concerned about what books he would read next.

So many things, past and present, are commonplace in books.

Recently, Gu An has taken a liking to reading history.

……

Five years later.

Two hundred and ten-year-old Gu An practiced his exercises in Xuan Valley while looking at his attribute panel. He was less than six hundred thousand years away from a lifespan of twenty million years.

Compared to others' perception of his own cultivation level, Gu An felt a greater sense of accomplishment looking at his lifespan number.

This isn't lifespan; this is clearly his cultivation level!
After morning exercises, Lu Jiujia found Gu An and asked him about the cultivation of the Innate Reincarnation Technique.

Since the restrictions on his cultivation were lifted, his maximum lifespan has exceeded 410 years. Gu An also taught him the more powerful Innate Reincarnation Technique. He usually cultivates very hard, but after so many years, there are still many things he doesn't understand about the Innate Reincarnation Technique.

After listening, Gu An patiently gave Lu Jiujia guidance, and in just a few words, Lu Jiujia suddenly understood and was very excited.

Through the Innate Reincarnation Technique, he deduced that his senior brother was definitely not simple. It was obvious that his senior brother was also cultivating this technique, and with the medicinal resources that his senior brother could obtain, he must have far surpassed him.

After Gu An finished speaking, he turned and left. Lu Jiujia did not follow, but stood there pondering his words.

Gu An walked into the woods and then entered the Eight Scenic Caves.

Now that things have come to this, the Eight Views Grotto is no longer a secret that must be hidden. Lu Jiujia knows that he has a secret cave below the Xuan Valley. On weekdays, Lu Jiujia pays extra attention to the disciples who enter the mountains and forests, for fear that someone might covet his senior brother's cave.

Gentani has never lacked spies!

Gu An arrived at the Eight Views Cave Heaven, first picking mature medicinal herbs, and then having the Gu Corpse plant the seeds.

Jiang Qiong's Ten Thousand Gu Mystic Arts have been completed to a certain extent. Although the Gu corpses cannot be used to seize the lifespan of medicinal herbs, there is no need to worry too much about planting them.

He lay down on the old vine tree, and two vines quickly climbed up his shoulders and began to massage them.

The ancient vine tree has become intelligent, but it doesn't like to talk. Gu An doesn't force it, and instead enjoys the tranquil life in the Eight Views Cave.

Having grown accustomed to life in the Medicine Valley, it's nice to occasionally come to the Eight Views Cave for some solitude.

He planned to stay overnight because someone was coming tonight.

After adjusting himself into a comfortable position, he took out the history book he had bought from Seeking Immortals Island and began to read it. This history book recorded the rise and fall of a powerful force.

时间快速推移。

Even late into the night, footsteps could be heard coming from inside the cave, but Gu An did not get up or even look in that direction.

soon.

A figure appeared before him, accompanied by a faint fragrance.

The newcomer stood with her hands on her hips. She wore an exquisite purple robe with many jade beads hanging from her belt. Her long hair was casually tied behind her head with two wooden hairpins inserted. Her ears were covered by her black hair. Her stunningly beautiful face carried a faint smile, and her bright eyes revealed a sly smile.

Gu An looked up at her, sized her up, and laughed, "It's been so many years, why do you look younger? Have you been practicing some kind of evil magic?"

The person standing in front of him was Jiang Qiong, who created the Eight Views Cave.

Jiang Qiong's Juhua Sect is already one of the top sects in the cultivation world of the continent. Juhua Sect has even started to cooperate with Tai Xuan Sect. Of course, the overall strength of Juhua Sect is still far inferior to that of Tai Xuan Sect. "What are you talking about? Your grandmaster is still young."

Jiang Qiong glared at Gu An, then took off her shoes and stepped barefoot onto the grass.

She stretched and sighed, "It's still so comfortable here. I haven't been back for years, but it still feels like home."

Gu An stood up and said with a smile, "I still have your coffin. Want to go in and lie down for a bit?"

"Looking for a fight?"

Jiang Qiong raised her hand to slap Gu An, but Gu An quickly dodged.

She snorted and then asked, "You brat, have you been feeling really anxious lately?"

Gu An asked in surprise, "Why do you think that?"

"That Deadly Immortal of the Great Cold Demon Sect has threatened to annihilate all living beings. How can you not be panicked? You are the most afraid of death."

"This is indeed alarming, but what's the use of panicking? If the sky falls, you tall guys will be there to hold it up."

Gu An spread his hands and said, which made Jiang Qiong want to laugh. This kid is still so carefree.

Jiang Qiong stepped forward and whispered, "Do you want to join the Great Cold Demon Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Gu An's expression turned strange.

He doesn't usually keep an eye on Jiang Qiong all the time. He only uses his divine sense to check on her occasionally when he remembers her. Once he sees that she is not in danger, he quickly withdraws his divine sense.

He never expected that Jiang Qiong would get involved with the Great Cold Demon Sect.

How did you do it?
Gu An began to investigate Jiang Qiong's background, and at the same time asked, "Do you know anyone from the Great Cold Demon Sect?"

A flood of causal images entered Gu An's eyes, and he saw Jiang Qiong's past.

It turns out that the continent from which the Ephemeral Flower Sect originated is under the jurisdiction of the Great Cold Demon Sect, which is why the Seven Star Spirit Realm dares not use the Nine Nether Path to travel to another world.

On that continent, the Great Cold Demon Sect was supreme, while the Ephemeral Flower Sect was merely a sect in a localized area; the two were simply incomparable.

According to what the Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower told Jiang Qiong, the reason why the Ephemeral Flower Sect turned bad was also due to the influence of the Great Cold Demon Sect. Long ago, that continent did not belong to the Great Cold Demon Sect.

Since the unification of the world, the Juhua Sect has shared the Nine Nether Path with other sects. The Ephemeral Flower Ghost Mother was able to return to her homeland, and Jiang Qiong was able to connect with the Great Cold Demon Sect through her.

The Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower knew a great cultivator from the Great Cold Demon Sect. Although he was called a great cultivator, he was actually only at the Great Ascension Realm, and was probably just a low-level cultivator in the Great Cold Demon Sect.

“Although the Sword Master Fudao had just protected the continent a few years ago, how could he possibly contend with the Great Cold Demon Sect on his own? He didn’t instruct me to do anything, so I came back specifically to take you to the Great Cold Demon Sect. It doesn’t matter where you grow herbs, you can do it there too,” Jiang Qiong said earnestly.

Gu An was both touched and amused.

Why is this guy always so fickle?

Gu An shook his head and said, "Forget it. The Great Cold Demon Sect is so powerful. I would definitely feel uncomfortable if I went there to plant herbs. I might be refined into pills as soon as I entered the sect. This is the Demon Sect."

Jiang Qiong glared at him and said irritably, "With me here, do you think I'd let you be bullied?"

"Is your cultivation level very high?"

"It might not be a high rank in the Great Cold Demon Sect, but it's more than enough to protect you. You can stay under my command without worry."

"Doesn't that mean I'd have to serve you and please you?"

"That's right, how are you? My legs are a little sore now, come and give me a massage."

"Bah, shameless!"

Gu An refused to agree, for he believed a scholar could be killed but not humiliated.

He looked down and his face showed disgust. Jiang Qiong's feet were already covered in mud and grass clippings after she had only taken off her shoes for a short time.

Seeing Gu An's stubborn look, Jiang Qiong wanted to tease him some more, but she had to get down to business first.

She said seriously, "Gu An, this time the situation is really different. The Great Cold Demon Sect has sent a large number of cultivators here. Their strength is not comparable to that of the Seven Star Spirit Realm or the Star Sea Sect. Moreover, I heard that the Star Sea Sect also intends to retreat. Not to mention the Star Sea Sect, do you know about the Nine Nether Path? Almost every sect on this continent has people who want to escape through the Nine Nether Path, including your Tai Xuan Sect!"

Gu An remained silent.

Jiang Qiong continued, "Actually, going to the Great Cold Demon Sect might not be a bad thing. Perhaps you can even encounter a great opportunity. Although cultivation talent is determined by fate, there are many people in this world who can turn their lives around through opportunities. Don't you want to pursue immortality?"

Gu An looked at her and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I really don't want to go. There are too many people and things here that I can't let go of. As for the opportunity you mentioned, what opportunity in this world is without danger? Just the Lower Eight Scenery Cave Heaven almost put me in danger."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiong was immediately annoyed. Why was this kid so stubborn?

Gu An continued, "Moreover, I think we may be able to overcome this calamity. I believe in the Sword Master Fudao, and I believe that good will prevail over evil. There must be many powerful figures in this world who can withstand the Great Cold Demon Sect."

“I often read books, and they all say that heaven is watching what people do. The Great Cold Demon Sect regards all living beings as ants. No matter how strong such a sect is, it will be punished. Joining them is not a good path.”

As he spoke, he raised the book in his hand, his face filled with determination.
