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

Chapter 452 On the Way of Heaven

The Spring Festival celebration at the Third Medicine Valley was a great success. Everyone drank all night, chatted with each other, and became closer to one another.

Gu An was very busy that night. Even though he was enthusiastic, he could tell that everyone was reserved around him, except for An Xin and Shen Zhen.

Even the martial arts techniques have changed from before.

Perhaps this is the downside of being too strong.

Gu An stood by the window, watching his friends leave one after another.

As the morning sun shone down, my friends looked as if they were departing draped in the glow of dawn.

Gu An looked at it for a while and then turned around. He returned to the table and began to write some books on mental cultivation, because Lu Baitian had said last night that he wanted to establish a method of mental cultivation and pass it on to all members of the Tai Xuan Sect to help the disciples of the Tai Xuan Sect to have a more solid path in the future.

Gu An offered many suggestions, such as having the master uniformly teach cultivation courses to avoid any disciples being neglected due to a lack of closeness.

The Tai Xuan Sect no longer needs to specifically cultivate geniuses; its overall foundation is more important, which requires the joint efforts of all disciples.

A sect with geniuses is not necessarily powerful, but a sect with most of its disciples being outstanding is certainly not weak.

Gu An devised a century-long cultivation guide for the Tai Xuan Sect, which means that every disciple who enters the sect will unconditionally receive guidance on the sect's century-long cultivation techniques and spells, unless they violate the sect rules. This guarantees that every Tai Xuan Sect disciple will possess considerable strength and become a qualified cultivator.

This plan appealed to Lü Baitian. Although it would require a huge investment, if successful, the Tai Xuan Sect would surely become a true holy land.

Of course, the most important thing is that this suggestion came from the Sword Master Fudao. He believed that no one would dare to stop it. If resources were lacking, those aristocratic families would definitely rush to provide them. In other words, as long as they wanted to do it, they would definitely succeed.

"I don't know how long the Tai Xuan Sect will last, but it can be considered a good deed if it can take care of most of its disciples throughout their lives."

Gu An muttered to himself, feeling pleased.

He now cares more about things that are unseen and intangible than about profits.

Having inherited so many reincarnations and gained many insights, he now wants to extract insights from his own life.

The path to the Great Dao is long and arduous, and one's understanding of the Great Dao cannot be directly improved by one's lifespan. However, with the ability to evolve one's lifespan, one can have more time to comprehend the Great Dao.

A spring breeze blew in through the window, stirring a blue-and-white porcelain flower in a small jar on the table.

The blue and white porcelain sways gently, as if time is beckoning, or as if reminding all living beings that youth is fleeting and never returns.

……

Time flies, and another century has passed.

On this day, Gu An walked on the streets of the outer city, followed by the Blood Prison Great Sage. The Blood Prison Great Sage, after transforming, was burly and wild, with an extremely aggressive gaze that was very eye-catching. However, many people were not looking at him, but at Gu An.

Along the way, people greeted Gu An warmly, and he nodded in response to each one. Those disciples who had never seen him before asked others about him.

"He is Gu An, the master of the Third Medicine Valley, and is suspected to be the Sword Venerable of the Dao."

"What? He's the legendary Sword Master Fudao?"

"I don't know. I remember he was a disciple of the Sword Master Fudao. Anyway, he could represent the Sword Master Fudao."

"It was he who proposed the century-old master-disciple lineage of the Tai Xuan Sect. You younger generations should all thank him. Otherwise, if you join the sect and do not have talent, you will have to rely on connections or go out to fight to cultivate the Dao."

"Was it him who proposed the century-long apprenticeship? Then he certainly deserves such treatment. We are all indebted to him."

Wherever Gu An went, people nearby would talk about the century-old lineage. The Tai Xuan Sect's actions in promoting this matter were swift and had already spread both at home and abroad. Even disciples from other sects had to praise the Tai Xuan Sect for having the demeanor of a great sect. Some sects wanted to learn from it, but faced internal obstruction.

Within the same sect, not all those in power want their disciples to live well. They value their own interests more. A century-old lineage would affect their interests, so how could they agree to that?

In a short time, the struggle between aristocratic families and sects unfolded in various places, with some resulting in rivers of blood and others in the presence of undercurrents.

The world is still in chaos, and Gu An won't care about the whole world; it's already good enough that he can manage the Tai Xuan Sect.

Name: Gu An

Lifespan: 1, 100/3, 391, ​​514, 220

[Physique: Primordial Golden Body]

[Cultivation Level: Perfected Profound Origin Free and Easy Immortal Realm]

...3.3 billion years of lifespan!
Gu An felt very satisfied. Time seemed to be passing by faster and faster for him. He did not go to open up or expand the Medicine Valley or try to seize lifespan. Only his true self could do it. Puppet or clone would not work. Without hatred, he did not need to put all his energy into seizing lifespan.

Moreover, the bigger the commotion he makes, the more likely he is to provoke a greater crisis. He is currently satisfied with the increase in his lifespan. He can steadily gain lifespan and have time to enjoy life. Such a life of cultivation is the best.

Since regaining his cultivation, the Blood Prison Great Sage has begun to experience the joy of Gu An.

A simple and ordinary life doesn't have to be boring, and fighting and killing shouldn't be the whole story of cultivating immortality.

Seeing Gu An enter the library, the Blood Prison Great Sage did not follow him in, but instead wandered around in front of the library's entrance.

With his long horns and blood-red hair, he attracts attention wherever he goes. Although the Tai Xuan Sect has many demon disciples, few demons have his sharp and aggressive aura.

He unabashedly displayed the aura of a wandering immortal, arousing curiosity about his cultivation level.

Within the Tai Xuan Sect, even if they encounter someone at the Immortal Dao realm, the disciples will not panic, because they believe that no Immortal Dao expert would dare to cause trouble in the Tai Xuan Sect, as they are protected by true Immortal Dao supreme experts.

Gu An came to the library not to publish a book, but to buy one. The library was helping him collect rare books from all over the world, and he did not refuse.

He could have calculated it with his cultivation level, but he didn't. He preferred the feeling of turning the pages of a book. Even though he possessed power surpassing the Heavenly Spirit Realm, he tried his best to retain the habits of a mortal.

Over the years, in addition to the increase in his lifespan, his understanding of cause and effect and destiny has become deeper and deeper. He can exert stronger power in the two great Dao supernatural abilities, which is also an advantage of being in the mortal world.

Compared to deduction, interacting and spending time with others allows one to better understand the emotions of others and their insights into life.

When the elders of the library learned of Gu An's arrival, they all crowded around him, enthusiastically recommending the rare books they had acquired. Gu An told them to tell him about them one by one, and not to rush, as he would stay for an hour.

Upon hearing that Gu An would be staying for an hour, everyone calmed down, their smiles remaining.

They started recommending books according to seniority, and Gu An listened attentively, but the first few books didn't appeal to him.

“Brother Gu, my book is extraordinary. No one knows its origin. It suddenly appeared overseas and is being circulated by many people. Some say that this book can predict the future.”

An elder took out a blue book and said mysteriously.

Gu An looked at the book cover and saw three words.

The Theory of Heavenly Way!
Gu An raised his hand and took the book into his hand. The elder was not surprised, as he was already used to Gu An's methods. So he continued to introduce the commotion caused by the theory of the Heavenly Dao.

Gu An was immediately drawn in when he opened the first page.

The Way of Heaven: The extinction of all living beings becomes the Way of Heaven; the fall of the Great Way becomes the Way of Heaven!

Is this a book that criticizes the Way of Heaven?

Gu An became even more curious, and he continued to flip through the book, wanting to see how it predicted the future.

More than one elder has heard of the Treatise on the Heavenly Way. According to them, there are only nine true copies of the Treatise on the Heavenly Way, and the others are all imitations. Obtaining the Treatise on the Heavenly Way can bring extraordinary power, but it can also bring misfortune, death, and the dissipation of one's spiritual power. It is truly unpredictable whether one will be blessed or not.

for a long time.

Gu An closed the Treatise on the Heavenly Dao and smiled, "This book is good, I'll take it. You can save any copies of the Treatise on the Heavenly Dao for me in the future."

Upon hearing this, the elder beamed with joy and patted his chest in agreement.

He didn't ask for anything in return; being able to befriend Gu An was the greatest reward he could ask for.

He claims to be Gu An's friend. Within the Tai Xuan Sect, who would dare to disrespect him?
If anyone dares to impersonate him, cultivators will come knocking. It is said that the Tai Xuan Sect has established a special secret hall, which includes overseeing this matter to prevent anyone from damaging the reputation of Gu An or the Sword Venerable Fu Dao.

Gu An told them to bring out all the books they had prepared, not wanting to waste their good intentions.

Finally, Gu An walked out of the library accompanied by everyone.

Upon seeing Gu An emerge, the Blood Prison Great Sage immediately rushed over.

Gu An glanced at him and said, "You're already a rogue immortal, don't bother with him."

The Blood Prison Great Sage, who had just bought a rare item, gave an awkward smile and coughed lightly, saying, "I was just joking with him. I treat him like a child. How could I bully him?"

The child he was referring to was the White Spirit Mouse.
