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

Chapter 472 Heavenly Dao Golden Core, the Strongest Fate

Inside the attic, Gu An and Li Ya were exchanging drinks. Li Ya drank very quickly, and his gaze toward Gu An was filled with resentment.

Gu An, with a stern face, said, "Such disrespect for the ancestor?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ya's eyes widened, he slammed his fist on the table and stood up, yelling, "You're taking advantage of me again! Come on! Let's fight!"

Gu An chuckled and said, "Are you sure?"

Li Ya choked, his anger dissipating instantly. He sat down with a frustrated expression, but for some reason, after Gu An's deliberate provocation, he felt no pressure.

If Gu An had maintained his airs as the Sword Master of the Dao, he really wouldn't know how to face him given Gu An's care for him. Now that Gu An has dragged him into a fellow disciple relationship, he naturally feels much more at ease.

"Gu An, who exactly are you? We entered the valley together back then..."

Li Ya took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask, this was the thing that puzzled him the most.

Back then, when the two first met, they were still teenagers. He never imagined that his junior brother, with whom he had spent so much time, would be so powerful.

Looking back now, it's clear that the Sword Master Fudao's fame began with protecting him...

Back then, he and his sister Li Xuanyu were attacked by demonic cultivators. It was only thanks to the intervention of the Sword Master Fudao that they were saved. At that time, the Sword Master Fudao was not yet called the Sword Master Fudao, but was known as the Flying Leaf Sword Immortal.

Once everything was connected, Li Ya had even less reason to blame Gu An; he was now only curious.

Gu An replied, "Past lives and present lives are endless cycles of reincarnation. Who can fully understand their own origins? Instead of dwelling on the past, why not accept the present and look to the future?"

Who I am is not important. What matters is our friendship and the help I give you. You don't need to feel burdened by it. I hope you will think about what kind of person you want to become in the future.

He stared intently at Li Ya, his eyes seeming to see right through Li Ya's thoughts.

Li Ya was surprised, not expecting Gu An to be able to understand what he was thinking, but when he thought of the power of the Sword Master Fudao, he calmed down.

The existence that transcends the nine levels of immortality possesses supernatural powers and deductions that are beyond his comprehension.

Then, Li Ya began to dream about the future, and Gu An listened attentively.

Li Ya was his first true friend in this life, and even though there was a huge gap between their cultivation levels, it did not change his position in Gu An's heart.

Gu An may have helped Li Ya a lot, but it was all done casually. He did not get into trouble because of helping Li Ya.

The Mystic City was extremely powerful in the eyes of others, but in Gu An's hands, it didn't even have a chance to be used.

Gu An didn't just listen; he explained the nine levels of the Immortal Path one by one, and also described the creations of each level, which made Li Ya yearn for it.

The two continued talking until nightfall, occasionally bursting into laughter.

Moon stars are rare.

Anxin came down to the attic, looked at the window upstairs, and sighed, "Master hasn't been this happy in a long time."

The Blood Prison Great Sage, sitting down beside him, curled his lip. He simply didn't like Li Ya, but since he was downstairs from his master, he didn't dare to say anything bad about Li Ya.

Anxin watched from downstairs for a while before turning to leave.

She had been very worried about Gu An ever since Ye Lan passed away.

In her view, her master's emotions were even more important than the entire world. If her master went to extremes, all living beings would suffer.

Fortunately, my master is always cheerful and open-minded, and it seems that nothing can make him lose his way.

After this experience, An Xin admired Gu An even more.

As the moon set and the sun rose, Li Ya left early the next morning.

Before Wanjian Mountain, Jueluo Sword Lord looked at Li Ya's back, lost in thought.

"My destiny has actually changed..."

He then turned his head to look at Gu An's attic, his heart filled with curiosity.

What level of attainment did the Holy Ancestor possess?
He couldn't understand it, but the thought of stepping into a higher realm made his heart burn with excitement.

……

Beneath the dazzling starry sky, a massive stone bridge stretched across the heavens, its edges shimmering with iridescent light. Two figures walked across the bridge; they were none other than Emperor Yang Xian and An Hao.

Emperor Yangxian walked in front, wearing a long golden robe, with dragon energy surrounding him as he walked.

An Hao walked behind, looking left and right with a look of surprise on his face.

Finally, his gaze fell ahead, where at the end of the stone bridge stood a golden-red sphere of light, as bright as the sun, seemingly symbolizing hope and full of allure.

An Hao's pupils gleamed with an unusual light as he sensed a power.

“An Hao, feel it carefully. This is the most powerful force in the world, a gift from the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Sect’s legacy that has been passed down in the world is only a trace of its power.”

As Emperor Yang walked, he spoke in a mysterious tone, as if even he himself was looking forward to it.

An Hao couldn't help but ask, "What is the Heavenly Way? What is the difference between the Heavenly Way and the Great Way?"

After entering the immortal realm, he also began to comprehend the Great Dao. The higher his cultivation level, the deeper his awe of the Great Dao became. At the same time, he could not understand the existence of the Heavenly Dao.

The Way of Heaven is omnipresent, like the Great Way, but it is not clear enough; it seems to be a fusion of countless rules.

"Heaven and earth are the Way of Heaven, all living beings are the Way of Heaven, and the universe is the Great Way. The Great Way gives birth to the Way of Heaven, and the Way of Heaven gives birth to all things. In my view, the Way of Heaven should be the power that arises from the Great Way. It is more perfect and more powerful."

Emperor Yangxian spoke leisurely, his steps never slowing.

After hearing this, An Hao began to try to understand what he had said.

After a long time, they finally reached the end of the long bridge and stood in front of the golden-red orb. They looked so small, like grains of sand before a high mountain.

Emperor Yangxian looked up at the golden-red orb and said, "The rulers of the immortal dynasties throughout history have all tried to comprehend the Heavenly Dao. They believed that only by comprehending the Heavenly Dao could they be qualified to transcend. The first immortal king who founded the immortal dynasty called himself the immortal king and wanted to compete with the heavens. He then met with misfortune, and the immortal dynasty was destroyed as a result. It was not until many years later that someone re-established the immortal dynasty."

"That was the first time the Celestial Dynasty felt the power of the Heavenly Dao and understood that there was an invisible and intangible force controlling all living beings."

An Hao listened attentively, his gaze falling into the golden-red sphere of light. Through the golden-red flames, he saw darkness, a darkness that even Nirvana Realm cultivators found oppressive.

He couldn't help but ask, "If it's truly invisible and intangible, then what is it?"

Emperor Yangxian replied, "This is a golden elixir left behind by a supreme being who obtained the power of the Heavenly Dao."

"What? Golden Core? How is that possible!"

An Hao's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in shock.

This doesn't look like a Golden Core at all!
Emperor Yang's eyes became complicated as he said, "This was discovered by the Immortal Dynasty in its pursuit of the power of the Heavenly Dao. It is located in the deepest part of the Heavenly Spirit Great World and is called the Heavenly Dao Golden Core. Every epoch, the Heavenly Dao Golden Core will reveal some information to us. This is also the reason why the Immortal Dynasty has stood firm. Even if the Holy Court appears, it cannot destroy our Immortal Dynasty."

"Through the Heavenly Dao Golden Pill, we learned that the Heavenly Spirit Great World was once shattered, and the current Heavenly Spirit Great World is only one piece of it, but the most important piece."

An Hao pressed further, "Why would a supreme expert perish? Could it be related to the battle that shattered the heavens and earth?"

“We don’t know either, but the power of the Heavenly Dao Golden Pill is inexhaustible, and it is this power that allows the beings of the Immortal Dynasty to be born at the Immortal Dao realm,” Emperor Yang replied, then turned to look at An Hao.

An Hao couldn't help but look at him. Facing his gaze, An Hao felt pressure and frowned.

Emperor Yang said with burning eyes, “An Hao, you are the chosen one. No one’s destiny is stronger than yours. You have the Sword Venerable Fudao as your master and the most powerful inheritance of the Immortal Dynasty. You will become the strongest under the Heavenly Dao. If you were to open a new era, the Immortal Dynasty would definitely be stronger in the next era. You can do things that we cannot do.”

Just as An Hao was about to reply, he suddenly turned his head to look at the Heavenly Dao Golden Core.

"what sound?"

An Hao asked in a deep voice, his gaze rapidly shifting across the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, as if searching for something.

Emperor Yang looked at him, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. His gaze changed, becoming excited.

"Even the Heavenly Dao Golden Core chose him? What kind of destiny is this? It's as if everything in the world was tailor-made for him..."

Emperor Yang looked at An Hao and sighed inwardly, even he couldn't help but feel jealous.

An Hao quickly noticed something amiss. He looked at Emperor Yang and asked, "Your Majesty, can't you hear me?"

Emperor Yangxian replied, "The ruler of an immortal dynasty can inherit the Heavenly Dao Golden Core through his fortune, but at the end of each era, the Heavenly Dao Golden Core will choose its own successor. Perhaps you have already been chosen. What did you just hear?"

An Hao hesitated for a moment, then said, "I heard a voice telling me to run away quickly..."
