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

Chapter 326 Heavenly Dao Inheritance
The first Immortal King, the first Immortal Treasure...

Gu An sensed a power beyond the ages emanating from the Immortal King—a powerful will to challenge the Heavenly Dao.

Tianzong's gaze never left Gu An. He continued, "After the Immortal King fell, the world was submerged by the ocean, ushering in an era of Dharma decline. But after destruction comes creation. Even the most arduous environment will give birth to new beings. Over the long years, people have continuously imitated the Immortal King. The title he bestowed upon himself has become the glory pursued by cultivators of later generations. Immortal Kings have been born one after another, challenging the might of Heaven, which has also made the shackles of Heaven on this world more and more numerous."

"Era changed, the world changed, and it wasn't until the Holy Court was born that all living beings had the opportunity to set foot in the heavens. I have obtained the Heavenly Sect's inheritance and will inherit the name of the Heavenly Sect. The Heavenly Sect can only be passed down to one person. I want to take you as my disciple and let you become the next Heavenly Sect."

Finally, the sound of the wind in the woods stopped abruptly, and the flowers, grass, and trees ceased to sway.

Gu An's eyes widened in astonishment as he asked, "Me? Can I do it? I'm just average!"

"What does aptitude matter? The Heavenly Sect has its own inheritance that can break your shackles. You have gained the recognition of the Immortal King's Crown, so you must have something extraordinary about you. Either you have an ancient treasure body, or your soul contains even greater power. The Dao pattern on your forehead is the best proof."

Tianzong stared intently at Gu An and said.

Gu An hesitated and said, "But I don't understand what the Heavenly Sect is, or what your philosophy is."

"Tianzong, follow the way of Heaven. What you need to do from now on is to follow the way of Heaven. As long as you follow this, you can continuously surpass the limits and even live forever."

"Since you can attain immortality, why do you want to give it to me?"

"Because I have regrets in my heart, I no longer want to follow the way of heaven."

Tianzong's words confused Gu An even more. If you want to trick me, can't you at least lie to me?
Tianzong saw through Gu An's doubts, so he looked up at the bright moon and said, "I have lived for 780,000 years. Every choice I have made in my life has been in accordance with the way of heaven. For the sake of the way of heaven, I gave up my wife and children, and my best friends. I gained immortality and a holy name that is admired by the world. But as time goes by, I also have some regrets. I no longer expect immortality, but you should still yearn for it."

Upon hearing this, Gu An's first thought was to leave a legacy for those around him.

Tianzong continued, "My time is running out. After this Heavenly Ranking Conference, I will step down from my position as Tianzong. You have no choice. What you need to do is to adjust your Dao heart in the remaining time."

After saying that, he vanished into thin air in the woods.

Gu An frowned and remained where he was.

"Do not tell anyone else, otherwise revealing the secret will bring misfortune to others."

Shen Shen nagging.

Gu An thought to himself, but he did indeed sense a mysterious and familiar aura emanating from Tian Zong, an aura very similar to the light layer that enveloped the Heavenly Spirit World.

Does the Way of Heaven truly exist?
Gu An stood there for a while, thinking, before leaving.

In the days that followed, one powerful cultivator after another made a name for themselves at the Heavenly Ranking Conference. The most outstanding one was Tian Zong, who called himself Tian Zong. Apart from that, no one knew much about his background.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord also performed very well, but he did not yet show any signs of being number one.

time flies.

Two months passed quickly, and the Heavenly Ranking Conference continued. During this time, the Tai Xuan Sect was as lively as if it were New Year's Day every day.

This day.

Shenxinzi, who was reading under the tree, noticed something and looked up. He saw an old man with white hair walking from the mouth of the valley.

"Hmm? That person's aura..."

Shenxinzi frowned, seemingly lost in thought.

Tianzong felt his gaze and couldn't help but glance at him.

Their eyes met, and almost instantly, Shenxinzi felt immense terror, causing him to instinctively lower his head in fear.

Tianzong withdrew his gaze and continued forward.

His gaze swept across the Medicine Valley and quickly locked onto Yang Jian, who was communicating with his disciples.

Yang Jian seemed to sense something, turned his head to look, and when his gaze fell on Tianzong, he instinctively frowned.

This person is no ordinary individual!
Having already reached the Void Transcending Realm, Yang Jian's senses were much sharper than those of others at the same level.

The moment he saw Tianzong, he knew he was no match for him.

He wasn't panicked; his master was still in the Medicine Valley.

Tianzong walked all the way to Yang Jian's side, and Shenxinzi stared at him intently, hesitating whether to make a move.

"Mysterious Body, can you feel the weight of your soul?" Tianzong's first words startled Yang Jian.

Yang Jian subconsciously looked around. "No one else can hear us talking, or even see me, except for that Heavenly Demon from the Bitter Sea Buddhist Sect. I deliberately let him see me," Tian Zong said expressionlessly.

The words "Heavenly Demon" caused Shen Xinzi's expression to change drastically, and he immediately lowered his head.

Yang Jian was not drawn to the words "Heavenly Demon." He suppressed his nervousness and asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Tianzong raised his right hand, and a golden jade stone appeared in his palm. He said, "I'm giving this to you. As long as you crush it, you will remember your past life and recall your true identity. You have reincarnated a hundred times. It is rare for someone to help you awaken the Xuan Gang Overlord Body. You may not have such an opportunity in future reincarnations."

Yang Jian instinctively caught the golden jade stone and pressed, "Who exactly are you? What do you want?"

"We fought side by side. I was seriously injured, while you died. I will never harm you. When you awaken your memories of your past life, I will appear."

After saying these words, Tianzong turned and left.

Yang Jian looked at the golden jade in his hand, his mind in turmoil.

Past life?

Having read Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West, he naturally believed in reincarnation, but when such a thing actually happened to him, he couldn't help but feel flustered.

He took a deep breath, looked up, and saw that Tianzong was walking towards his master's pavilion.

I wonder if Master will be able to sense this person's arrival.

He had previously believed that his master was invincible, but the methods of the Heavenly Sect were beyond his comprehension. Apart from him and Shenxinzi, no one in the valley could see him walk.

What kind of magical power is this?
Yang Jian couldn't understand it, and his fear of the Heavenly Sect reached its peak.

He hesitated whether to go over and remind his master, but he was afraid that his master had already noticed and that he would ruin his master's plans.

He thought for a moment, then used his divine sense to track the direction.

When his divine sense probed into the attic, Gu An remained unmoved, which reassured him, and he withdrew his divine sense.

Tianzong arrived at the pavilion. He glanced at the first-floor room and muttered to himself, "The Emperor of Reincarnation? Such great karma cannot be touched. I never expected that so much great karma would be hidden here. Could it be that the Sword Venerable of Supporting the Dao is nearby?"

He followed them up the stairs.

He passed through the door and came to Gu An's table, then revealed his true form. His gaze fell on the Tai Xuan Secret Manual in Gu An's hand.

A strange light flashed in his eyes.

He suddenly regretted choosing Gu An.

But now he has no other choice.

"Cough cough."

Tianzong coughed lightly, and Gu An subconsciously looked up. Then, as if he had seen a ghost, he suddenly stood up.

"You... how did you get here..." Gu An asked in a panic.

Tianzong said irritably, "You will soon be the next Tianzong, and you will hold the will of Heaven over the common people. So read less of those books that corrupt your mind."

Gu An closed the Tai Xuan Secret Manual and explained, "This book is different..."

"enough!"

Tianzong interrupted Gu An, his gaze returning to the Immortal King's Crown. He said, "You're always running around wearing the Immortal King's Crown. Aren't you afraid of causing trouble? Not everyone is like me, without any greed for immortal treasures. Moreover, the Immortal King's Crown is special; it's one of the few immortal treasures in the world that isn't affected by the Holy Court's fortune."

"The Holy Court is coercing you? What do you mean?" Gu An asked in surprise.

Speaking of which, almost every Qi Yun sect at sea possesses a supreme immortal treasure. He obtained the Seven Star Mirror from the Seven Star Spirit Realm, and the Star Sea Sect also has its own supreme immortal treasure.

However, almost no one tried to seize their immortal treasures, which suggests that some powerful force was restraining the greed of these great beings.

Tianzong replied, "The vast majority of immortal treasures in the world are given by the Holy Court, so that all the sects in the world can better govern the people in their respective places. Of course, there are also a few immortal treasures that do not belong to the Holy Court, such as the Immortal King Crown on your head."

"The Holy Court can trace all the immortal treasures connected by fate. Because of this, they are even more wary of immortal treasures that are out of their control. If your Immortal King's Crown is discovered, then you will be in big trouble. Even the Heavenly Sect's fate cannot protect you."

Gu An thought to herself, "I have a supreme immortal treasure in my arms, but you didn't even recognize it!"
