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

Chapter 325 Heavenly Sect, Legend of the Immortal King

After Lü Baitian left, Gu An followed him downstairs to continue watching the commotion.

A battle of magic is currently underway in the Profound Heart Realm, and the scene of the battle is reflected in the sky, causing the disciples in the valley to discuss it animatedly.

"Wow, this is amazing! Is this the Profound Heart Realm?"

"This is nothing. The real excitement comes from watching the battles between Mahayana Realm cultivators, and even the battles between immortals. Even in the valley, you can feel the pressure."

"I've certainly broadened my horizons. I wonder if we'll ever have that day?"

"How could there not be? Cultivate diligently, and once you enter the Third Medicine Valley, your starting point will already be higher than 90% of the disciples."

“That’s right. Even if you’re a disciple from a noble family, if you’re not talented enough, you have to start as a menial disciple. Do you know Li Ya from the Divine City? He’s my master’s junior brother. We entered the Medicine Valley on the same day.”

“I know. I heard from Master that Li Ya used to cry a lot when he felt hopeless about the future. It was Master who encouraged him.”

The disciples' conversation drifted off-topic, as the Third Medicine Valley was experiencing a rapid turnover of new and old members each year.

The number of registered disciples in the valley has exceeded 1,800.

Gu An naturally joined the group of disciples without causing a commotion. The disciples did not need to get up to greet him, nor did they suspect each other. This atmosphere stemmed from Gu An's easygoing attitude and also changed the disciples' views on how to conduct themselves.

Gu An sat down next to An Xin and asked about the previous battle.

Before An Xin could speak, You Yingying sat down on the other side of Gu An and took the initiative to speak, explaining the situation.

She was so excited because a high-ranking monk from the Star Sea Cult had also come to participate, including a senior she admired.

She believed that senior could win the top spot on the Heavenly Ranking.

Gu An simply smiled at this.

This year's Heavenly Ranking Tournament is full of hidden talents; many people are concealing their cultivation levels and true identities, making it extremely difficult to win first place.

A magical immortal also came to participate, but Gu An couldn't understand what the other party was thinking.

By any measure, it would be beneath Miaofa Lingxian's dignity to participate in the Heavenly Ranking Conference, and she might even offend the Sword Venerable Fudao, bringing about her own demise.

Gu An couldn't understand it.

The Immortal Spirit Dynasty sent people, the Holy Court also sent people, and now a mysterious and wondrous immortal has emerged.

But when it comes, make peace with it.

Currently, the Mysterious Immortal of Wonderful Methods remains a mysterious being who is rarely seen. The Carefree Immortal of Primordial Innocence is the highest being that cultivation sects can come into contact with. As for the Profound Immortal of Dao Void, who is a level higher than the Mysterious Immortal of Wonderful Methods, they have not yet been seen.

An Xin thought that Nine-Fingered Divine Lord could win first place, and the two girls started arguing. Given An Xin's personality, she naturally couldn't win against You Yingying.

Gu An couldn't stand by and watch his precious disciple be bullied, so he joined in the banter, which quickly made You Yingying's face turn red.

Two days passed quickly.

It was early morning on this day.

Even though it was only a short time after dawn, there were already many people coming and going in the city.

In a small alley, Zhang Xianwang from the Immortal Spirit Dynasty stopped in his tracks. He turned his head slightly and glanced at the person behind him out of the corner of his eye.

"Why are you following me, fellow Daoist?" Zhang Xianwang asked calmly.

Behind him stood an old man in white robes with white hair, who had an otherworldly air about him, making the cultivators passing by at the alley entrance unable to help but take a second look.

The white-haired old man stared at Zhang Xianwang and asked, "Why have people from the Immortal Dynasty come here?"

Zhang Xianwang turned to look at the white-haired old man, his expression indifferent, and asked in return, "If you don't answer, how can I answer?"

The white-haired old man replied, "You may call me Tianzong."

Heavenly Sect!

Zhang Xianwang's expression changed drastically, his face filled with disbelief. He asked in astonishment, "Heavenly Sect? How is this possible? Fifty thousand years ago, didn't you already..."

Tianzong interrupted, "It's your turn to answer."

Zhang Xianwang's eyes flickered, and he did not say anything immediately.

"You probably don't want a conflict to break out here. There must be cultivators from the Holy Court within the Tai Xuan Sect." Tian Zong's tone was devoid of any emotion, sending chills down one's spine.

Zhang Xianwang took a deep breath and said, "I'm here to win over the Sword Master Fudao. What about you?"

Tianzong replied, "I have come for an old friend."

"An old friend? Who?"

"Since our goals don't conflict, let's leave each other alone."

After saying this, Tianzong turned to leave.

Just then, a voice rang out: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, what are you doing here?"

The speaker was Gu An, who walked towards Tianzong, and the two passed each other.

[Heavenly Sect (Seventh Level of the Myriad Dharma Immortal Realm): 789023/1700000/1750000]

An ancient monster that has lived for 780,000 years!

The seventh level of the Wonderful Immortal Realm is truly terrifying; it's almost as advanced as mine.

Gu An thought to himself, then looked at Zhang Xianwang with a delighted smile.

Zhang Xianwang smiled when he saw Gu An.

After Tianzong left the alley, Gu An asked, "Who was that person just now? Was he trying to cause you trouble? Should I contact the Hall of Affairs?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xianwang's smile widened. He said with a helpless laugh, "No trouble at all. Do you know what his cultivation level is?"

"What cultivation level? Nascent Soul Realm? Void Transcending Realm? Or Body Integration Realm?"

As he finished speaking, Gu An's face showed fear, and his voice rose several octaves.

Zhang Xianwang was both amused and exasperated, so he changed the subject and asked, "How did you end up here?"

Gu An replied, "I'm here to buy medicinal herb seeds. What about you?"

The two started chatting. Zhang Xianwang had a good impression of Gu An, so he didn't care about the other's cultivation level and communicated with him as an equal.

After chatting for a while, Gu An asked, "You seem quite capable. Have you signed up for the Heavenly Ranking Tournament?" "No, I'm here for something else."

"What's wrong? Can I help?"

"That's not necessary."

"Alright, then I won't bother you any longer."

Gu An clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and then left.

Zhang Xian watched him leave, feeling somewhat hesitant.

Gu An was also pondering why Zhang Xianwang wanted to win him over. He had previously thought that the Immortal Spirit Dynasty was very exclusive, so it probably wasn't trying to recruit him into the Immortal Spirit Dynasty, but rather plotting something.

After leaving the alley, Gu An continued to wander around the city, intending to buy some interesting trinkets for Tian Yao'er to cheer her up.

Managing the secluded paradise must be quite arduous, so Gu An must treat her differently to prevent her from feeling too disappointed.

After walking just two streets, Gu An saw Tianzong.

Just as he was about to pass by Tianzong, Tianzong suddenly raised his hand and pressed down on his shoulder.

Gu An raised an eyebrow, feeling inexplicably awkward as someone pressed his shoulder.

He turned to look at Tianzong and asked in surprise, "You... wait? You're that person from earlier?"

Tianzong stared at the Immortal King's Crown on Gu An's forehead with a cold and sharp gaze.

Gu An's heart skipped a beat. Had the other party seen through the disguise of the Celestial King's Crown?
"Leave Tai Xuan Sect tonight, and I will find you and give you a chance to be reborn."

After saying these words, Tianzong turned and left.

Gu An was completely confused.

Judging from this statement, Tianzong probably didn't guess that he was the Sword Master Fudao.

What exactly is the reason?

After watching him leave, Gu An continued on his way, pondering the matter in his mind.

A hundred feet away, Zhang Xianwang frowned amidst the crowd. Finally, he sighed and left in the opposite direction from Tianzong.

Today's Heavenly Ranking Battle reached its climax in the afternoon, with two Nirvana Realm cultivators battling it out. One of them was a cultivator from the Tai Xuan Sect, and of course, both of them were ocean cultivators.

The two Nirvana Realm cultivators displayed spells, supernatural powers, demonic pets, formations, and strange arts, demonstrating to the spectators in every aspect what it means to be a cultivator.

Within the same realm, the higher the realm, the more difficult it is to kill the opponent, and it is easy to get caught up in a fierce battle.

Gu An watched with great interest. These people weren't very skilled, but they had a lot of fighting techniques.

Gu An, who could only instantly kill enemies, could not experience this kind of fun and could only envy them.

Until night falls.

Gu An left Xuan Valley alone and flew into the distance.

Throughout the journey, he feigned nervousness, his brows furrowed.

To demonstrate his determination, he flew even faster.

Half an hour later.

Gu An sensed a surge of magical power approaching, and he immediately prepared himself to submit to it.

At first glance, he appeared to be falling suddenly into the woods.

After landing, he quickly got up, pretending to be panicked. Only when he saw Tianzong's figure did he calm down.

Tianzong emerged from the darkness and praised, "You have great courage. No wonder you dared to accept the Immortal King's Crown. Although I don't know why the Immortal King's Crown didn't devour you, you have already gained the recognition of this supreme immortal treasure. Do you have a master?"

Gu An shook his head and said, "No, is the Immortal King Crown the hair ornament on my head? I found it by chance."

He has altered his own cause and effect, and even the Heavenly Sect would be deceived.

Tianzong did indeed see through causal deduction that Gu An bought the Immortal King's Crown from the Qibao Pavilion at a cheap price. At that time, the Immortal King's Crown looked as if it had just been unearthed, and its surface was old.

How could a wondrous immortal with divine powers see through the methods of a true immortal with divine thoughts?
"Do you want to know the origin of the Immortal King's Crown? Once you do, you will no longer be able to live a peaceful life," Tianzong said softly, staring at Gu An.

Gu An smiled wryly and said, "Can I go back now?"

"No, once you're here, there's no turning back."

"Then why are you asking me?"

"The Way of Heaven is the Way of Heaven, and the Way of Heaven must conform to the hearts of the people."

"Does this count?"

"You've come, that's enough."

Gu An felt that this person was being unreasonable, but since he didn't sense any hostility from the Heavenly Sect, he wanted to hear what he had to say first.

Growing flowers and plants on a regular basis is fine, but it's nice to have a little excitement now and then.

He dares to encounter provocations because the Heavenly Sect poses no threat to him.

"The Immortal King's Crown was crafted by the first Immortal King of the Heavenly Spirit Great World. It existed in the distant beginning of time, when there was no Holy Court and no Heavenly Dao rules beyond the heavens..."

The voice of the Heavenly Sect was filled with a mysterious and wondrous power, which allowed Gu An to see some scenes from ancient times.

The land was vast and desolate, teeming with giant beasts. There were no systems, no sects, and no dynasties.

He saw the figure of the Immortal King, blurry but exuding a terrifying aura, which reminded him of Long Zhan.

This shows that the Celestial King and the Dragon Warrior were on the same level at that time.

The Ninth Heaven of Immortal Cultivation!

When the Celestial King proclaimed himself the Celestial King, thunder roared and various disasters erupted across the land.

"The Immortal King considered himself extraordinary, wanted to challenge the Heavenly Dao, wanted to unify the entire world, and wanted to step into the outer heavens. He offended the will of Heaven and was ultimately cursed by the Heavenly Dao. Before his death, he sealed his Dao in the Immortal King's Crown. The Immortal King's Crown is also the first Immortal Dao treasure in history, at least the first Immortal Dao treasure in the Heavenly Spirit Great World." Tianzong's tone remained indifferent.
