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

Chapter 453 Surpassing the Nine Heavens of Immortality

After being reprimanded by Gu An, the Blood Prison Great Sage abandoned his plan to scare the White Spirit Rat. He wasn't upset; Gu An treated the White Spirit Rat so well, so he would naturally do the same for him.

Gu An continued to wander around the outer city until dusk before leaving. Before leaving, the Blood Prison Great Sage specially transformed into a bull demon and carried him away.

Blood Prison Great Sage still did not forget his duty as a mount, and even though Gu An said he didn't have to do it, he still insisted on doing so.

He wasn't stupid. Gu An said he didn't need him to be a cow. If he took that seriously, Gu An could find another cow to replace him the next day.

Gu An was very satisfied with the Blood Prison Great Sage's attitude; he could guess what the Blood Prison Great Sage was thinking.

Indeed, with Gu An's current abilities, finding a mount wouldn't be difficult. In fact, he wouldn't even need to look for one; people would rush to give him one if they saw he didn't have one.

Gu An wouldn't force the Blood Prison Great Sage, but if the Blood Prison Great Sage wanted to rely on him, he wouldn't refuse. Following him would at least ensure that his efforts weren't in vain.

Sitting on the back of an ox, with a gentle breeze on his face, Gu An took out the Treatise on the Way of Heaven again and continued to read it.

Although this book is a copy, Gu An could sense a special Daoist meaning between the lines.

The creator, who possesses the Dao intent, is likely a being at the Dao Fruit realm.

Beyond the heavens there are many great realms. Gu An had also sensed the aura of Daoist Cang Zizai Immortal, but it was all hidden very deeply, and the aura was fleeting. As for Xuan Yuan Zizai Immortal, he had not yet discovered him.

The theory of the Heavenly Dao was definitely not a coincidence. After deduction, Gu An concluded that they all appeared in various parts of the world in the same year, indicating that the entity behind them had its eyes on the Heavenly Spirit Great World.

There are now more than ten free immortals in the Heavenly Spirit Realm. They fight in secret, and even when they encounter each other, they go to the outer heavens to fight, without disrupting the world's order.

Even if another Daoist Immortal appeared, Gu An wouldn't be worried, since he wouldn't pose a threat.

Moreover, he has already begun preparing for his next breakthrough plan.

The Great Sage of Blood Prison didn't fly very fast. By the time he entered the Third Medicine Valley, the moon had already risen.

After landing, Gu An did not go upstairs; instead, he walked towards a courtyard in the distance.

The number of disciples in the Third Medicine Valley has exceeded five thousand, and more and more disciples are staying. This has forced Anxin to set a threshold for staying. So now the most important thing is not to graduate, but to stay.

Of course, these rules apply to new disciples after the rules were established. Older disciples who wish to stay can also do so, and Gu An will treat them as before.

Throughout the journey, Gu An continuously responded to the disciples' greetings.

He arrived at the quiet courtyard and could sense that Zhu Xi was cultivating inside.

He looked around the yard, then walked to the door and raised his hand.

There was a knock on the door, and Zhu Xi opened it quickly. Upon seeing Gu An, she immediately bowed.

"Can I come in and have a chat with you?" Gu An asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi quickly made way and invited Gu An into the house.

They had known each other for a century, and she respected Gu An greatly, without worrying that he would harm her.

She felt that if Gu Anruo was hypocritical, he couldn't have pretended for so long. Even if he was a powerful cultivator, he could still treat people as equals every day.
Moreover, from Gu An's perspective, there is no need to pretend. He has now made the whole world submit to him, so who can stop him?

Compared to the reckless and powerful, Zhu Xi admires Gu An, who is able to control his emotions and desires, even more.

Gu An entered the room and saw that Zhu Xi's room was clean and simple, without too many unnecessary furnishings. A pleasant fragrance filled the room, making one feel relaxed and happy. Gu An sat down at the table, and Zhu Xi closed the door and began to pour him tea.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zhu Xi sat down opposite Gu An and asked, "Master, is there anything I can help you with?"

She is now a disciple of the Third Medicine Valley, and should rightfully address Gu An as her master.

Gu An smiled and asked, "Have you recently acquired a book?"

Zhu Xi asked, puzzled, "What book?"

"The Theory of the Way of Heaven".

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi's expression changed slightly. She immediately took out a copy of the Treatise on the Heavenly Dao and asked, "Is this the book? Master, do you want it?"

When Gu An was calculating the Heavenly Dao Theory, he found out that one of the original copies was in Zhu Xi's possession. Several months ago, Zhu Xi went out to break through and found it by chance.

But there are hardly so many coincidences.

Gu An did not take the Treatise on the Heavenly Dao from her hand, but said leisurely, "Zhu Xi, I have known what kind of person you are for a long time. When you were still at Falling Moon Divine Lake, I noticed you. You like to steal herbs."

Zhu Xi's beautiful eyes widened, and she subconsciously stood up and stepped back.

Gu An stared at her and said, "You are wary of everyone, so I didn't expose you. The reason I took you in is firstly because of your talent, and secondly because you haven't done anything too evil and there is still hope. I can give you an inexhaustible supply of medicinal herbs, but I also need your trust. As for why I paid attention to you so early, it's simply because of your special constitution. Haven't you always wanted to know the origin of your bloodline?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi's panic subsided considerably. She cautiously approached the table and said, "Master, I did not steal any herbs in the Third Medicine Valley."

She was telling the truth. Because the Third Medicine Valley offered good benefits, the words An Xin had said when she invited her alone had already spread. Many aristocratic families were trying to win her over, thinking that she could become the personal disciple of the Sword Master Fudao.

Gu An said, "I know that's why I didn't ask you. I'm here today because the book 'The Theory of Heavenly Dao' is extraordinary and may bring trouble to you and the Third Medicine Valley."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi immediately took out the Theory of Heavenly Dao.

The true theory of the Way of Heaven is a red book, seemingly stained with blood, which gives people a sense of unease as soon as it appears.

Gu An flicked his finger, and the Heavenly Dao Theory in Zhu Xi's hand flew out and landed on the table, near Gu An's arm.

Zhu Xi thought to herself, "What a formidable method."

Her current cultivation level is not low; she has only been hiding her strength. However, when facing Gu An, she felt that her spiritual power was extremely weak, and she didn't even have time to react.

Gu An said, "This book should come from beyond the heavens. It is the work of someone who has surpassed the nine heavens of immortality. It will continuously integrate your karma and fortune. The more you use it, the more inseparable you will become from it, and eventually you will be controlled by it. If you want to be unaffected, you must surpass the Free Immortal, and even surpass its creator."

Beyond the Nine Heavens of Immortality?
Zhu Xi turned pale with fright and asked cautiously, "Master, what should I do?"

Gu An smiled and asked, "Do you like this book?"

"I like it, no, I just like its power," Zhu Xi answered truthfully. This book made her mistakenly believe that it was a supreme treasure of immortality, which is why she kept it hidden so well.

Gu An smiled and said, "I can let you keep it, but you must not use it. I will teach you how to control its power. If anything contacts you, you must tell me."

Zhu Xi agreed without hesitation; she had no reason to favor the existence behind the theory of Heaven's Way.
