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

Chapter 425 Giving Face to Seniors

A carefree immortal over six million years old!
A lifespan of fifty million years!

A lifespan of 100 million years!
He truly deserves to be the ruler of the current Celestial Dynasty!

Looking at Emperor Yang, Gu An thought to himself, "This series of numbers demonstrates Emperor Yang's power."

Wu Jue was still proclaiming himself to be the Yang Immortal Emperor, unaware that the real Yang Immortal Emperor was approaching.

Emperor Yang was dressed in a purple robe and had a handsome face. Even without the golden robe and crown of an immortal emperor, he exuded an extraordinary aura. His eyes, in particular, were bright and piercing, and his brows revealed an undeniable arrogance.

The indomitable spirit cultivated over millions of years is unforgettable at first glance.

Emperor Yang did not look around the second floor; his gaze was fixed directly on Gu An.

He walked towards Gu An, and then came to Wu Jue's side. Hearing Wu Jue mention the name Yang Immortal Emperor, he didn't care. He looked at Gu An, raised his hand in greeting, and said, "Fellow Daoist, may I sit down and have a chat with you?"

Gu An glanced at him and nodded slightly, and Yang Xiandi sat down as well.

Wu Jue sized up Yang Xiandi and could sense that this man had an extraordinary aura.

"You two know each other?" Wu Jue asked curiously. He knew that Gu An had a strong ability to make friends, and Gu An had friends all over the Tai Xuan Sect. This was also the thing he admired most about Gu An.

He had no friends before he showed his talent.

Gu An replied, "I don't know you, but meeting is fate, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yangxian smiled and nodded in agreement.

With a wave of his right hand, Gu An sent a jar of wine flying up and gently landing in front of Emperor Yangxian.

"After you finish this jar of wine, see if you want to be friends with us," Gu An said casually.

When Immortal Lord Qiuxi came to cause him trouble before, even if it wasn't arranged by Immortal Emperor Yang, as the ruler of the Immortal Dynasty, Immortal Emperor Yang couldn't escape the cause and effect.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yangxian narrowed his eyes.

He naturally doesn't drink, but Gu An's intention is to outdo him.

Face to face with Gu An, he could only sense that Gu An was at the Nascent Soul Realm cultivation level; he couldn't detect the slightest flaw.

If Gu An is indeed the Sword Master of the Dao, then the difference in their cultivation levels is undoubtedly significant.

He hesitated for a moment, then opened the mouth of the wine jar, lifted it up, and began to drink the wine in large gulps.

Wu Jue looked at Gu An and Emperor Yang with suspicion; it was the first time he had seen Gu An make things difficult for someone.

Who is this person?

Could it be that he offended some scion of a prominent family who had offended Gu An?
Emperor Yangxian drank very quickly. After he put down the wine jar, Gu An picked up a new wine jar and started drinking alone.

Seeing this, the slight displeasure in Yang Xiandi's heart instantly dissipated, and a smile appeared on his face.

It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies.

He had no direct hatred for the Sword Master Fudao. The Immortal Lord Qiuxi had acted on his own initiative. Although he lost face because of this, the Sword Master Fudao's power was enough to make him lose face.

Although he was arrogant and thought his talent was unparalleled, he was only a few million years old. A great power like the Sword Master Fudao must have lived for tens of millions of years, or even tens of millions of years. He should give his senior face.

After Gu An finished his drink, he put down the wine jar and began to exchange pleasantries with Emperor Yang. The two were very tacit and did not reveal each other's true identities, as if they were truly compatible and wanted to get to know each other.

Wu Jue also joined in, and under Gu An's deliberate guidance, they started talking about Emperor Yang Xian.

Wu Jue greatly admired Emperor Yangxian. When Emperor Yangxian was undergoing his tribulation, the Holy Court intervened. Under these circumstances, Emperor Yangxian did not swallow his anger but instead used this opportunity to start a war. Perhaps he had some calculations, but it was also aboveboard. Wu Jue liked Emperor Yangxian's heroic spirit.

For some reason, Gu An felt like he had been scolded.

You little brat, who are you insulting without being aboveboard?

Emperor Yangxian beamed with delight, finding the martial arts manual increasingly pleasing to the eye.

After the three of them had become acquainted over drinks, Gu An sighed, "I feel like we were born in the wrong era. Why does it seem like our generation is always plagued by misfortune?"

Wu Jue nodded; he felt the same way.

Emperor Yangxian said, "Every generation is like this, only remembering the hardships, but life is like this, with constant trials and tribulations."

He thought that the Sword Master Fudao was pointing at him, and he had to explain.

"The conflict between the Celestial Dynasty and the Holy Court has plunged the world into chaos, seemingly a catastrophe. But in reality, there have been constant frictions between the two forces before this. For the major religions of the world, things may have been relatively peaceful before, but for the common people, every century brings various hardships. As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. The battles of immortal cultivators also bring disasters to mortals. Isn't the reason we cultivate immortality precisely to withstand the hardships that follow?"

Emperor Yangxian spoke earnestly, his meaning clear: the struggle between the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court affected the overall situation of the world, but for the common people, it was just that the different people were the different behind-the-scenes instigators of the calamity.

All beings suffer; this is the norm in the secular world.

Wu Jue agreed, and he sighed, "I wonder how many years this calamity will last? I have a feeling it will be difficult to end within a hundred or a thousand years."

“That’s natural, because this world is too vast, far beyond your imagination. It took the First Immortal King of the Immortal Dynasty a million years to unify the world. It took the Holy Court three million years to rise, sweep across the world, and defeat the Immortal Dynasty. The war between heaven and earth is beyond the observation of mortals,” Emperor Yang nodded.

These words made Wu Jue look at him in surprise. This person seemed to know a lot; just who was he?

Gu An suddenly asked, "Do you think that if the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court clash, they will both suffer heavy losses, and a new ruling power will emerge in the world?"

Emperor Yang's expression immediately became unnatural, and his gaze towards Gu An became somewhat complicated.

Wu Jue frowned and said, "Really? Are there any other sects in the world that can compare to them?"

"Not now, but what about in ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years, or a million years?" Gu An shook his head.

He paused, then continued, "Moreover, I've heard that powerful beings from beyond the heavens often descend, and there are even reincarnations of celestial demons in the mortal realm. Could they be preparing to establish their own power?"

Wu Jue frowned; he felt that Gu An's words made sense.

Emperor Yang's expression returned to normal. It turned out that the Sword Master Fudao was reminding him of the threat from beyond the heavens. He was genuinely worried that the Sword Master Fudao was going to support the Taixuan Sect.

In fact, even without Gu An saying it, he had been worried all along. The First Immortal King was the best example. Although he was a ghost of the Immortal Dynasty, he was completely unaware of it.

He even felt that there was an unknown force at work within the Immortal Dynasty, manipulating events and controlling the weather.

He couldn't help but recall the immortals who had supported his war efforts, and each of them seemed suspicious.

The storyteller's voice continued to drift over, but the three people's conversation did not attract the attention of others, as there were quite a few people boasting in the inn.

However, after drinking for about half an hour, a new guest arrived, recognized Gu An's identity, and chatted with him warmly.

Since the battle in which the Immortal King invaded, many people have known that Gu An and the Sword Venerable Fudao have a close relationship.

As Yang Xiandi watched Gu An interact with those low-level cultivators and mortals, he suddenly had an epiphany.

This person is terrifyingly strong, yet he can humble himself and interact with ordinary people without them noticing anything amiss; his Daoist heart is unfathomable.

Of course, he didn't think this approach was any better, because he believed in the supremacy of the strong!
If you're not strong enough, you should just be a foil for the strong!

An hour later, Gu An and his two companions left the inn. Gu An invited Yang Xiandi to spend the Spring Festival at the Third Medicine Valley. Yang Xiandi did not refuse, as he still had some things he wanted to talk to Gu An about.

The two returned to the Third Medicine Valley.

Upon arrival, Emperor Yang's gaze became subtle.

A true immortal with divine thoughts!

The aura of reincarnation tribulation!
There are also mortals with strong qi and blood but no spiritual power whatsoever!

He even saw two reincarnated demons!

Something's wrong with this medicine valley!
The Third Medicine Valley was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. Even Ji Xiaoyu and the Sun and Moon Underworld Emperor were unusually not cultivating, but instead playing chess with their disciples in various places.

The Sun and Moon Emperor turned to look at Gu An, and when he saw the Yang Immortal Emperor, his pupils suddenly contracted.

He instinctively wanted to escape, but when he thought of Gu An's power, he felt relieved.

If Gu An can tolerate him, then he has no reason to be afraid here!
Even if Emperor Yangxian is arrogant, would he dare to attack the Sword Venerable Fudao?

On that day, the aura of the Immortal King was incredibly powerful, yet he was still reduced to ashes before the Sword Venerable Fudao. From that day on, Gu An became the strongest being in the Heavenly Spirit World in the heart of the Sun and Moon Underworld Emperor.

He even suspected that Gu An was Sheng Tian!
Besides Sheng Tian, ​​who else in the Heavenly Spirit Realm is so powerful?

The Sun and Moon Emperor withdrew his gaze and continued playing chess with the Nine-Fingered God, whose face darkened and who hesitated to make a move.

As Gu An entered the Medicine Valley, he introduced the situation of the Third Medicine Valley to Emperor Yang.

Emperor Yangxian became interested in the Third Medicine Valley. Afterwards, Gu An asked Long Qing to help entertain Emperor Yangxian, as he still had to go back to his room to see Shen Zhen.

Shen Zhen is rummaging through his bookshelf again!
Ever since Long Qing learned that Gu An was very strong, he took Gu An's instructions very seriously, as this was his chance to prove himself!
He was very enthusiastic towards Emperor Yangxian, and Emperor Yangxian was also very interested in him.

For some reason, Emperor Yangxian felt that Long Qing was somewhat familiar, as if he had met him before. He guessed that Long Qing had met him in his previous life.

However, this is the territory of the Sword Master Fudao, and Long Qing calls him his master, so Emperor Yangxian won't act recklessly.

As dusk approached, all the disciples gathered in the pavilion area. Some sat drinking, some stood with their arms around each other, and others were sparring and fighting to liven up the atmosphere.

Emperor Yang's attention was on Gu An. He saw that Gu An was surrounded by Shen Zhen, Zhen Qin, Ye Lan, Ji Xiaoyu, and An Xin. Shen Zhen and Zhen Qin were sitting on either side of Gu An and were at each other's throats. Zhen Qin was almost putting her feet on the table.

This gave Emperor Yangxian a deeper understanding of the Sword Venerable Fudao.

This person is truly a recluse!
Ye Lan watched Zhen Qin argue with Shen Zhen on her behalf, a smile on her face. It wasn't that she thought Zhen Qin was right, but she just felt that this atmosphere was very good. Unlike in the branch sect, no one here respected her, making her feel as if she had returned to Xuan Valley seven hundred years ago.

As time goes by, there are still people who can help her recall her original aspirations; how can that not be beautiful?

Ji Xiaoyu kept staring at Gu An, and Gu An could see the displeasure in her eyes.

What can he do?
Everyone insisted on coming to the Third Medicine Valley to celebrate the festival with him, and there was no way to stop them!

Jiang Qiong is better; she waited for him at Bajing Cave and they got along so well in private.
Too many people make it easier for accidents to happen.
