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

Chapter 477 Legend of the Sword God
"Master, where have you gone? Why did you disappear for a year without saying a word?"

Anxin glared at Gu An, complaining, but her eyes were full of surprise.

Gu An rolled his eyes at her and said, "It's only a year. The great cultivators in the sect go into seclusion or go out for decades or even centuries. Look at your meager abilities. Without me, you can't even manage Medicine Valley?"

He sought enlightenment in a secluded grotto, sitting there for a year. His anxiety extended not only to Anxin, but also to the mysterious immortal of the North Sea Mountains.

The people of Tianya Valley didn't react much, since the medicine valley belonged to Li Xuandao, and Gu An was only temporarily in charge.

There was no chaos in the Third Medicine Valley and the Mysterious Valley. The vast majority of disciples believed that their master would not be in any trouble even if he went away for a year. Who in the world could hurt their master?
An Xin was panicked not because she was worried about Gu An getting into trouble, but because she was afraid that Gu An would leave the Tianling Great World.

She had already heard that there was a vast world beyond the heavens, where many great cultivators went and never returned, pursuing their own path to immortality.

For someone of Master's cultivation level, staying in the Heavenly Spirit World would be of no help to him other than cultivating his mind.

Having followed her master for so long, Anxin didn't want to be abandoned.

"I'm just afraid... that you won't even say a word if someone calls me!" Anxin said resentfully.

Gu An also loved his disciple, whom he treated like a daughter, and stopped teasing her. Instead, he said, "Don't worry, if your master really wants to leave, he will tell you. If you are willing to follow, your master will take you with him."

Upon hearing this, An Xin's face lit up with a smile. She grabbed Gu An's arm and pulled him into the valley, while recounting the events that had occurred in the Third Medicine Valley within the past year.

Medicine Valley is crowded with people, and all sorts of conflicts and interesting things happen every day. Anxin doesn't talk about anything major, but Gu An listens very attentively.

After listening, the only thing that really concerned Gu An was that Xuan Tianyi had returned and brought him a batch of books he liked.

When this matter was brought up, An Xin looked at Gu An with a scrutinizing gaze.

If Gu An hadn't been able to hear her thoughts, he would have suspected that she had used her divine sense to spy on her.

Along the way, all the disciples and cultivators who saw Gu An were very excited and greeted him and bowed to him. After a while, Gu An finally returned to his pavilion.

He sat down at his desk, took out the black book from his pocket, and placed it on the table.

The book cover features black scale patterns, giving it a textured feel that is both mysterious and eerie, making one feel uneasy.

Because this is a book of cause and effect, Gu An deliberately created an image that inspires awe.

Unlike the Destiny-Fixing Brush, a supreme treasure of the immortal path, this treasure is shaped with the Dao intent of the Luo Tian Free Immortal, making it of a higher grade. It has just taken shape and can still grow in the future, requiring Gu An to continuously nourish it with his own Dao of Cause and Effect.

Now, Gu An needs to carve a name for it.

What name should I choose?

Gu An fell into deep thought, his right hand resting on the table, two fingers gently tapping the surface.

As the sunlight outside the window gradually turned red, he finally had an idea.

He picked up the pen of destiny and began to write on the black book.

no.

pole.

sword.

book.

As the last stroke was made, the four characters burst forth with golden light, began to scorch the cover, and then sank in, forming golden lettering.

The Limitless Sword Manual!

Gu An thought of his Hunyuan Wuji Body and Wuji Power, and the meaning he gave to this book was that it had no limits and was all-encompassing. The reason for the word "sword" was that he did not want to abandon his swordsmanship. He wanted to combine the sword with the power of cause and effect to form a causal swordsmanship that could kill enemies across the universe.

The Wuji Sword Book began to tremble, then floated in the air, absorbing the causal power of heaven and earth. In an instant, all the causal forces of the entire Taicang Continent were reflected into it.

Its scope continued to expand, reaching ever farther and farther, until it illuminated the entire Heavenly Spirit Realm.

All beings who have reached the realm of freedom and ease feel a strange sense of unease, but when they open their eyes, they cannot see anything unusual, nor can they calculate any cause and effect.

Inside a grand hall shrouded in mist, the Holy Minister sat cross-legged on the steps. Below the steps was a small pool with a shimmering blue surface, magical and beautiful, with faint starlight twinkling within.

The Prime Minister opened his eyes, his brows furrowed, and he began to calculate with his fingers, but he couldn't figure anything out.

"At the end of the era, the rules receded, making it truly more and more dangerous..."

The Holy Minister muttered to himself, feeling immense pressure just thinking about the situation. Many mysterious forces had recently appeared outside the heavens, attacking the Realm of Annihilation; within the heavens, there were also numerous immortals of unknown origin, and the Dao-Supporting Sword Venerable who could easily annihilate the entire Heavenly Spirit Great World.

As the Holy Minister of the Holy Court, he disliked this feeling of being unable to control the situation, which made him feel powerless and even hopeless.

Could it be that the Holy Court's fate is about to end, just like those past overlords of heaven and earth in the vast past?
The Prime Minister was in a daze. In a daze, he saw a figure walking from the end of the hall.

"His Majesty……"

The emperor was talking to himself, as if in a dream.

……

While the immortals of the world were gripped by fear, the common people did not notice anything amiss. The Holy Court and the Immortal Dynasty continued their battles, but compared to hundreds of years ago, mortals were rarely affected, so there were still many peaceful places in the world.

The next morning.

Gu An went downstairs. It was a rare opportunity to practice with his disciples. After disappearing for a year, he would be busy picking medicinal herbs for the next few days.

Half an hour later, Gu An rode away on the Blood Prison Great Sage, preparing to head to Tianya Valley. Just as he left Tai Xuan Sect, a figure appeared in front of them; it was none other than Jue Luo Sword Lord.

Jue Luo Sword Lord looked at Gu An, took a deep breath, and said, "Senior, there is something I must tell you. Did you sense anything unusual yesterday?"

Gu An feigned confusion and asked, "No, what is it that you want to tell me?"

"Many years ago, a sword intent appeared in the Realm of Annihilation, but it vanished in an instant. At the time, I was only surprised and suspicious. However, over the years, I have communicated with my fellow disciples using sword intent and learned something very terrifying," said Jue Luo Sword Lord with a solemn expression.

Communicating with sword intent?
Is it to prevent being extrapolated?

Da Hongjian is quite something.

While pondering this, Gu An pressed for an answer, asking, "What exactly happened?"

The Blood Prison Great Sage, who had transformed into a bull, also showed curiosity. He knew that Jue Luo Sword Lord had profound cultivation, so he never provoked Jue Luo Sword Lord.

After a moment's hesitation, Jue Luo Sword Lord said, "This matter involves the secrets of the Great Hong Sword Heaven. The ancestor who created the Great Hong Sword Heaven was called the Sword God by the Great Hong Realm. He was also the only true disciple of the Sword Dao Saint Ancestor. He was the only one who had ever defeated the Sword Dao Saint Ancestor. After the Sword Dao Saint Ancestor fell, his personality changed drastically. In order to enhance his swordsmanship, he began to go to extremes. He frantically devoured sword intent and swordsmanship, rapidly becoming stronger. He once became a public enemy of the universe, which led to dozens of great worlds joining forces to besiege him."

"He has been missing for many years, and his fate is unknown. The sword intent that flashed by many years ago was very complex, making me feel confused, scared, and irritable. Only his sword intent could match it. Yesterday, my fellow disciple Zizai Xian and I both felt palpitations and suspected that the Sword God might have reappeared in the world."

"He might even be targeting you."

After saying that, Jue Luo Sword Lord looked at Gu An with a tense expression.

This kid is fearless, and this is the first time Gu An has seen him so wary of someone, even more so than he is of Zhan Ting.

Gu An asked, "Compared to the God Emperor of the Silent Extinction Domain, who is stronger, your Great Hong Sword Heaven's Sword God or your God Emperor?"

Gu An had also felt the sword intent that Jue Luo Sword Lord spoke of; it was extremely sharp and indeed disappeared very quickly, probably escaping into the long river of swordsmanship.

The River of Swordsmanship is formed from rules, existing on another level, independent of the universe.

He never expected that the owner of that sword intent was the Sword God Yang Ping'an.

If what Jue Luo Sword Lord said is true, then it is indeed possible, because Gu An also felt that the sword intent was very complicated, and even felt like he was going into a state of demonic possession.

Jue Luo Sword Lord shook his head and said, "How can I know that my level is not high enough by such a comparison?"

Gu Anle laughed and said, "Alright, I understand. You can move aside now."

Upon hearing this, Jue Luo Sword Lord immediately stepped aside.

The Great Sage of Blood Prison lifted his ox hoof and walked forward.

As Jue Luo Sword Lord watched Gu An's figure disappear into the distance, seeing Gu An so calm and composed, he became even more convinced that Gu An was the Sword Dao Saint Ancestor.

"Legend has it that the Sword God defeated the Sword Saint Ancestor, but why didn't the Saint Ancestor take the Sword God seriously? Could the legend be fabricated?"

Jue Luo Sword Lord thought to himself, he felt that this was very likely.

After all, the founder of the Great Hong Sword Heaven was the Sword God, not the Sword Dao Saint Ancestor. Naturally, the successive sword masters of the Great Hong Sword Heaven hoped that the Great Hong Sword Heaven would be the strongest, so they would deliberately praise the founding ancestor.

The thought of the Sword God and the Sword Dao Saint Ancestor fighting again dispelled Jue Luo Sword Lord's tension, replaced by excitement.
