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

Chapter 406 Zhu Xi's Caution, a God Among Mortals

"Master, what are you looking at?"

Anxin asked curiously, and then looked up, but there was nothing in the sky.

She didn't think Gu An was just glancing around casually; she was sure he had seen something.

Gu An withdrew his gaze and chuckled softly, "Another formidable fellow has descended upon the mortal realm."

"How awesome?"

"Nothing can stop his power."

After listening attentively, Anxin seemed to be deep in thought.

Gu An looked at An Shengtian. Perhaps because he was surrounded by so many geniuses, An Shengtian's talent seemed mediocre in his eyes.

It's alright though. Gu An took him in just to help him out; he didn't expect anything in return.

The younger generation has its own life to live. He can offer help, but it's none of his business what path they take.

Gu An withdrew his gaze, turned and walked into the valley, and An Xin quickly followed.

Jiang Shi turned his head to look, feeling anxious.

He already knew that Gu An was the Sword Master Fudao, and that the Sword Master Fudao had a disciple who was a legend of the Tai Xuan Sect.

It was obvious that there was a huge gap between An Shengtian and An Hao. Jiang Shi had also heard of An Hao's deeds and knew how exaggerated An Hao's speed was.

An Hao's incredible speed was due to Gu An's personal guidance, while An Shengtian did not receive such treatment.

Gu An had watched An Shengtian cultivate countless times, but he only ever glanced at him, which made Jiang Shi anxious.

If you don't build a solid foundation, the gap between you and those exceptional geniuses will only widen in the future.

"Master, how is my swordsmanship?"

An Shengtian suddenly turned to Jiang Shi and asked, his tone excited.

Jiang Shi replied dismissively, "I still need to practice more."

After saying that, he turned and left.

An Shengtian looked puzzled. Why did his master seem to be in a bad mood?

Meanwhile, Gu An brought An Xin to the Human Realm Peak, where he taught An Xin how to cultivate.

Gu An spared no effort in cultivating An Xin, as An Xin was his precious disciple.

He truly intends to train An Xin to surpass An Hao and Yang Jian.

Currently, An Xin's talent is indeed far inferior to those two, but Gu An has resources and can preach to them, so there is still hope to erase the gap in talent.

An Hao and Yang Jian did not receive guidance from Daoist Zizai Xian!
Two hours later.

Gu An walked down the mountain path, while An Xin stayed on the mountaintop.

As Renjian Peak changed its requirements for recruiting disciples, Dingtian Peak also saw the emergence of many disciples below the Nirvana Realm.

Along the way, Gu An would smile and nod whenever a disciple greeted him. Unlike the ever-changing Tai Xuan Sect, Ding Tian Peak had not changed much. Even the flowers and plants along the road had not changed much compared to many years ago.

for a long time.

Gu An arrived at the bottom of Dingtian Peak. The further down he went, the more disciples there were, and the denser they became, with the noise increasing.

Upon arriving here, none of the disciples recognized Gu An, so no one greeted him.

Gu An arrived at a medicinal garden. He turned his head and saw a woman sprinkling spiritual water in the garden.

It was Zhu Xi, the Primordial Devouring Primordial Body!

Zhu Xi has recently encountered difficulties. He offended a disciple of Dingtian Peak and has been suppressed there for nearly ten years.

Over the course of ten years, Zhu Xi behaved very honestly, which gradually made that disciple forget about her.

Zhu Xi, who was watering the plants, sensed something, looked up, and saw Gu An looking at her.

She feigned nervousness and asked timidly, "Senior, is there something you need?"

Really good at pretending!
This guy may appear to be only at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, but he has actually devoured the spiritual power of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and even destroyed their soul.

The Primordial Devouring Body's strength far surpasses all other physiques of the time; even An Hao and Yang Jian are far inferior to her.

Zhu Xi's strength cannot be measured by her apparent cultivation level. In a sense, she is very similar to Gu An. She can devour spiritual power and magical power, while Gu An can steal lifespan.

"It's nothing, I just happened to be passing by. Why are you the only one in this medicinal herb garden?" Gu An asked with a smile. His gentle expression eased Zhu Xi's tension.

Zhu Xi replied, "The garden owner has gone out to visit a fellow Daoist and does not know when he will return. I can leave when he comes back."

Gu Anchao waved to Zhu Xi.

Zhu Xi hesitated for a moment, then stepped out of the herb garden. She came to Gu An, and the two stood five steps apart. She asked nervously, "Is there anything I can do for you, Senior?"

Gu An raised his right hand, pinched his fingers, and five secret manuals appeared in his hand, unfolding in a fan shape, revealing their respective titles.

"Meeting is fate, and you catch my eye, so let's pick one."

Gu An calculated that if things continued this way, Zhu Xi would eventually become an enemy of Renjian Peak. After all, he was the peak master of Dingtian Peak and should do something for Renjian Peak. Moreover, he was looking forward to Zhu Xi's future.

Zhu Xi glanced at it, her expression strange.

Heaven and Earth Primordial Skill, Stepping the Dao Through the Years, Daoist Primordial Qi, Primordial Reincarnation Skill, Universe in the Palm!
They all look impressive, but they're all unreliable!
There are no peerless secret manuals engraved in books. Cultivation sects all use jade slips, which are read by divine sense.

Gu An wasn't in a hurry and left the choice to her.

If she doesn't like it, then forget it.

Gu An doesn't necessarily have to use this method to resolve potential grudges. If Zhu Xi really dares to cause trouble at Dingtian Peak, he can suppress her with a flick of his hand.

Could the Primordial Devouring Body devour the great power of the Primordial Refining Void Body? Although Zhu Xi thought it was unreliable, she thought again that choosing one wouldn't be a loss, and if she refused, wouldn't this person get angry?
Having cultivated immortality for so many years, Zhu Xi has encountered all sorts of troubles and has long had experience in dealing with them.

Zhu Xi took out a secret manual and then bowed to thank Gu An.

Stepping through the years!
Gu An gave her a deep look, then smiled and turned to leave.

Zhu Xi hadn't expected him to leave like that. She watched Gu An's figure disappear around the corner of the mountain road before returning to the garden.

Instead of continuing to sprinkle water, she sat down at the wooden table and began to peruse the pages of "Steps Through the Years".

Before long, her expression turned serious, and her hands holding the manual even trembled.

"This supernatural power..."

Zhu Xi looked up and could no longer sense Gu An's presence.

But she remembered Gu An's face, and her feelings were complicated.

After reading the manual, she was certain that the supernatural power was real and extremely strong, and that the other party had not tricked her. This made her start to have all sorts of wild thoughts.

Why would someone be interested in her?

It's definitely not because I like her.

Did the other party see through her constitution?
Although Zhu Xi didn't know the origin of her constitution, she knew that once this constitution became known, she would become the enemy of the whole world.

No!

We must leave Human Peak!
Zhu Xi thought to herself, her eyes hardening.

……

a few days later.

Inside the attic of the Third Medicine Valley.

Gu An was chatting with Shen Zhen, but his divine sense was locked onto Zhu Xi.

He didn't expect that his good intentions would scare Zhu Xi away, which made him even more curious about her.

This woman is too cautious; she's practically another version of him!

He wasn't angry; instead, he looked forward to Zhu Xi's future even more. This kind of personality makes it easier for him to survive.

“I’m dreaming less and less these days. Do you think I’m losing my talent?” Shen Zhen said worriedly.

When her body was possessed by the Demon Beyond, her consciousness was in a dream, so she had no idea of ​​the Demon Beyond's existence, let alone that the Demon Beyond was dead.

Gu An laughed and said, "Your previous dreams were already quite exaggerated, equivalent to enlightenment. How can you keep seeking enlightenment forever? What you need to do now is summarize what you've learned in the past, and calm your mind. Sooner or later there will be another time. Do you know about martial arts techniques?"

He began to recount his enlightenment through martial arts, without mentioning the limit of lifespan, but he did indeed achieve enlightenment through martial arts several times.

Shen Zhen hadn't expected that Wu Jue had such an experience; no wonder he was able to rise to prominence so suddenly.

"Huh? Thinking about it this way, how come people connected to you always seem to encounter all sorts of extraordinary adventures?" Shen Zhen suddenly asked.

Gu An raised an eyebrow and said, "Could it be that this is my doing? Why don't you kneel down and thank me!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhen couldn't help but roll his eyes and said irritably, "How could that be? You think you're worthy? I just think it's a coincidence. Perhaps we have something in common, maybe it's luck. A great cultivator came to the Tai Xuan Sect to give a lecture before, and I went to listen. He talked about luck..."

Gu An did not listen to the Dao at that time because the other party was just a wandering immortal.

However, he listened very attentively to what Shen Zhen was saying.

Those with great fortune can always turn danger into safety and break through limits; at the same time, they will also attract each other.

From this perspective, luck could indeed be used as a reason.

After talking with Gu An, Shen Zhen's worries dissipated. She felt that Gu An was right and there was no need to overthink it; she had already received enough.

As long as she maintains a calm mind, she will eventually find enlightenment in the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

"I am a god among men. All living beings who call upon my divine name and have sincere faith can receive my divine protection!"

A loud and majestic voice rang out, startling the entire world and interrupting Shen Zhen's speech.

Shen Zhen looked surprised after hearing this.

Gu An looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Zhen took a deep breath and said, "When I was writing before, I thought of the name 'God of the Mortal World' and even came up with a scene. After I drew it, I don't know how, it disappeared."

Upon hearing this, Gu An knew that it was destroyed by the Demon Beyond the Shore, for fear of alarming the gods in the human world.

That mortal god was also at the ninth level of the Free and Easy Immortal Realm!
He doesn't have the fortune of the Holy Court, but he has a complex karmic relationship with the Holy Court. His arrival this time is most likely at the invitation of the Holy Court.

"How about I draw it for you again?" Shen Zhen said, standing up to get paper and pen.

"Wait, the other side has already descended to the mortal realm, and you still dare to draw it? Aren't you afraid it might suddenly appear in front of us?"

Gu An glared at her and asked in an annoyed tone.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhen thought it made sense and then chose to sit down.

"He claims to be a god, could he be a real immortal or god?" Shen Zhen asked curiously.

Before the war between the Celestial Dynasty and the Holy Court, everyone thought they were immortals and gods. But as the world descended into chaos, people's illusions about them were shattered, and they realized that they were just a powerful force.

Gu An shook his head and said, "How would I know?"

Shen Zhen opened his eyes wide and said, "You were able to write Investiture of the Gods, Journey to the West, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. You must have received a blessing from an immortal in your dream. You definitely know more than I do."

She firmly believed that the three books were not fabricated, but must be a part of some mythical history.

Not only her, but many people in the world think so, which is why Pan An is always remembered.
