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

Chapter 426 The Mysterious Netherworld Divine Dynasty, the Heavenly Demon Sect

After the festival, Gu An came to Xuan Valley alone. He was not afraid that Yang Xiandi would cause trouble in the Third Medicine Valley. As long as Yang Xiandi dared to have any evil thoughts, he could make Yang Xiandi disappear in an instant, or even erase all of Yang Xiandi's karma, so that all living beings would forget Yang Xiandi.

An Shengtian and Jiang Shi were very excited to see Gu An. Gu An had only intended to go through the motions, but he did not expect them to be so excited.

Therefore, Gu An asked the two to demonstrate their recent cultivation progress and then gave them pointers one by one, which surprised and delighted them.

After an hour of fussing, Gu An finally entered the Eight Views Cave.

He walked out of the cave and looked into the distance. The ancient vine tree was so huge, and under the tree, a woman in green was swinging on a swing.

It was Jiang Qiong!

She was barefoot, without any jewelry on her hands, and her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She looked innocent and pure, completely unlike the demonic cultivator of Qianqiu Pavilion she once was.

She turned her head and saw Gu An walking over, and she couldn't help but snort coldly.

As Gu An approached, Jiang Qiong couldn't help but snort, "Where were you having fun last night?"

Gu An didn't indulge her and said irritably, "Do you need something from me? You are the sect leader of Juhua Sect. I heard that Juhua Sect also celebrates the Spring Festival. Aren't you in charge of the overall situation?"

"What's the point of hosting? I've been supporting so many people, I should take a break too," Jiang Qiong snorted, getting up and stepping onto the grass.

Her eyes darted around, and she suddenly raised her right foot, trying to rub the grass clippings on her foot onto Gu An, but he dodged it.

"I heard you call yourself the Sword Master of the Dao?"

Jiang Qiong stared at Gu An, her eyes shining.

She had just caught Gu An off guard, but he still managed to dodge her attack.

This kid is definitely something else!
Gu An kept his distance from her and asked, "That's right, so what?"

Jiang Qiong naturally didn't believe it. After all, the Sword Master Fudao had personally told her that Gu An was his disciple, so she could only feel that their master-disciple relationship was really good.

"It seems that Sword Master Fudao is going to do something and has pushed you to the forefront. You must be careful. Even though he has your support, it's hard to guard against hidden attacks. Don't be too impulsive when interacting with others," Jiang Qiong warned.

Gu An said helplessly, "Please, do I need you to teach me this? Who was the one who was driven out of the Taicang Dynasty in the first place?"

Jiang Qiong was immediately displeased and started chasing after Gu An, but she couldn't catch up with him no matter what she did.

She started to get serious and chased after Gu An at full speed, while Gu An continued to evade her.

As she chased after him, Jiang Qiong fell into a mysterious state. Gu An became shadows in her eyes, his figure and gait so agile that she was captivated.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Jiang Qiong suddenly woke up. She was standing under the old vine tree, while Gu An was refining pills in front of her.

She took a deep breath and asked, "What was that just now?"

"If you master a certain footwork technique, you will be invincible."

Gu An answered casually without turning around.

He taught the Eternal Heavenly Measure Step, an advanced version of the Step of Stepping Through Time, which no one else has learned except him.

As for Ye Lan and Zhen Qin, Gu An could only let them pursue cultivation as much as possible, and then cultivate other Taoist methods after Nirvana.

Jiang Qiong is different. Her maximum lifespan is over five thousand years. She will eventually be reborn in Nirvana. She can cultivate supernatural powers in advance without delaying her cultivation.

"What's your name?" Jiang Qiong asked curiously, such exquisite footwork must be the legacy of the Sword Master Fudao.

Gu An glanced at her and said, "Don't spread the Eternal Heavenly Dao Steps around, it will cause a lot of trouble, and a lot of trouble from beyond the heavens."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiong was both nervous and excited, and she excitedly rushed towards Gu An.

She hugged Gu An tightly, wanting to kiss him on the face, but Gu An blocked her with his palm. As a result, she kissed his palm instead, making it tickle.

"I haven't spoiled you for nothing. Don't worry, I will definitely master it!" Jiang Qiong said happily.

Gu An pushed her away and said, "Then hurry up and practice! It would probably take a thousand or even ten thousand years to master this supernatural power." Jiang Qiong didn't believe it and immediately got up to begin practicing.

Gu An turned his gaze back to the alchemy furnace.

The flames beneath the alchemy furnace flickered, burning and then extinguishing, only to continue burning in an endless cycle.

Time flies.

Gu An sat down in front of the alchemy furnace again, lit the fire, and turned his head to look.

Jiang Qiong's figure moved swiftly, like a white swan, making it difficult to catch her whereabouts.

She suddenly appeared beside Gu An, her right hand covering her forehead, then fell down, hugging Gu An's upper body with both hands and resting her head on his shoulder.

"How come I've practiced for a hundred years and still can't even get the basics right?" Jiang Qiong said in anguish.

A hundred years have passed since she obtained the Eternal Heavenly Dao Step. She has been diligently cultivating all these years, but has not found the right method, so she came to Gu An to inquire about this matter.

She just demonstrated it once, and even with her Profound Heart Realm cultivation, she couldn't manage to take twenty steps.

Gu An let her lean on him and said, "I told you long ago, this supernatural power is not that simple. The fact that you have taken so many steps proves that you are very diligent."

Jiang Qiong sighed, looking dejected.

After resting for a while, she started talking about world affairs again.

The reincarnated figures brought by the First Immortal King wreaked havoc across the world, and they were given a unified name: Mysterious Netherworld Spirits.

A century has passed, and the Xuan You spirits have not only not been annihilated, but have grown stronger and even established the Xuan You Divine Dynasty.

Besides the Xuanyou Divine Dynasty, another sect called the Heavenly Demon Sect has appeared in the human world. It is said that all members of this sect are reincarnations of heavenly demons.

While the Celestial Dynasty and the Holy Court were fighting, they spared their strength to deal with the Mysterious Netherworld Divine Dynasty and the Heavenly Demon Sect. Not only did they fail, they suffered repeated defeats, which greatly increased the latter's prestige.

Now, the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court have begun to cease hostilities one after another, and their spearheads are turned against the Profound Nether Divine Dynasty and the Heavenly Demon Sect, bringing new changes to the human world.

The Taicang Continent was unaffected, but the sects on the continent all wanted to take this opportunity to go out and compete for resources. However, the Sword Master Fudao would not protect them, and overseas forces would not tolerate them either.

The Juhua Sect was one of them. They had been expanding their territory for many years. Last year, they encountered a demon from the Heavenly Demon Sect, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of disciples. This incident enraged the entire Juhua Sect, but the disparity in strength between them and their enemies prevented them from seeking revenge.

Jiang Qiong told Gu An these things not to ask for help, but simply to explain the situation outside. Gu An had no intention of taking action.

Over the years, the vortex of reincarnation has seen a constant emergence of mysterious and undead spirits, increasing the strength of the Mysterious Netherworld Divine Dynasty. There must be a great cause and effect behind this.

"I don't know if the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court have truly reconciled. They would be better off joining forces to drive out these two forces, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable," Jiang Qiong said with a worried expression.

While refining pills, Gu An replied, "It's alright, I'll go and talk to Emperor Yang."

Jiang Qiong was taken aback and asked, "Are you talking about the ruler of the Immortal Dynasty?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"You're bragging, acting like you can actually meet them."

You think I can't?

"Even if you have the Sword Master Fudao as your master, he is far away in the Immortal Dynasty."

"Heh, I'll take you to see him today, so you can ask him yourself, how about that?"

Gu An rolled his eyes at Jiang Qiong and said in a mocking tone.

They actually looked down on him!

He was no longer the servant of the Ji family he once was; he had to show this woman his strength!
