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

Chapter 496 Mountain Immortal, War Court Attacks
In a clearing in the forest, five children were resting by a stream. The tallest boy sat on a rock, holding a vine, gazing into the depths of the forest with a furrowed brow.

A girl dressed in tattered clothes turned to look at the boy on the rock and asked, "Second brother, how much further do we have to go? We don't want to encounter monsters later."

The other three boys echoed this sentiment; they were all tired from walking and wanted to go home for dinner.

The boy called Second Brother was named Yi Xiaoqiang. He glared at his companions and said, "What monster? We're here to seek immortality. Sincerity is key. What's the rush? We've only walked a short distance. Even Tang Sanzang had to travel 108,000 li to obtain the scriptures!"

These words made the three boys even more sorrowful.

"But even if you are Tang Sanzang, we are not Sun Wukong or Zhu Bajie."

"Yes, I'm so hungry."

"Second brother, could you bring more cakes next time you go out?"

Yi Xiaoqiang was furious. He fell off the rock, ready to teach his companions a lesson, when his gaze was drawn to the scene ahead. He stared wide-eyed, completely stunned.

The girl in plain clothes turned her head to look, and she too stood there stunned.

Seeing the two's reaction, the other three turned to look. Following their gaze, a handsome man dressed in white walked out from under the trees. He had a sword at his waist and an exquisite crown on his head. With his unparalleled handsome face, he looked like an immortal descending to earth.

"A deity... truly a deity!"

A boy muttered to himself, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to rub his eyes.

The newcomer was Gu An, who threw a lifespan probe at Yi Xiaoqiang.

[Yi Xiaoqiang (Unrefined Qi): 14/85/4999]

Lu Jiujia's lifespan is quite good; he was born into a good family in this life.

Gu An thought to himself, then sent the lifespan check to the other four people. He found that their maximum lifespan was not bad either, at least three thousand years.

A cluster of geniuses?
Gu An stopped on the other side of the stream, a gentle smile on his face, and asked, "Little ones, what are you doing here? Aren't you afraid of running into bad people?"

Yi Xiaoqiang snapped out of his daze and asked excitedly, "Are you a hermit from the mountains?"

The other four also looked at Gu An with tension and anticipation.

Instead of answering, Gu An asked, "You want to cultivate immortality?"

Hearing him ask this question, the five boys and girls became even more excited and answered one after another.

"Of course I do!"

"Big brother, please teach us."

"You must be an immortal, I have never seen anyone like you before..."

"Yes, big brother, we want to cultivate immortality."

Looking at this group of lively and excited little ones, Gu An, who was already in a good mood, became even happier. It was rare to see such lively children in the Third Medicine Valley.

Gu An coughed lightly and said mysteriously, "I do know a little about cultivation techniques, but after I teach you, can you promise not to tell anyone else, including your family?"

Upon hearing this, the boys and girls agreed without hesitation.

"Come here tomorrow, and I will teach you the art of cultivation," Gu An said with a smile, his gaze following the sky.

The War Court is active again!

They came for Yang Xiandi, and were also stimulated by the strange phenomena of heaven and earth.

The War Court believed that an unprecedented calamity of reincarnation was about to arrive, which could potentially overturn all the heavens and myriad realms. Therefore, they wanted to seize the Heavenly Dao Golden Core before that and then kill Long Qing.

They feared that Long Qing would escape into the cycle of reincarnation, just as he had escaped a calamity before.

Long Qing's ancestors even used reincarnation to escape from outside the universe all the way to this universe, using the Heavenly Spirit God to restrain them.

How will Emperor Yangxian withstand the War Court this time?

The Heavenly Golden Elixir could not grant him greater power.

Upon hearing Gu An's words, Yi Xiaoqiang and his group of five immediately became anxious, feeling that Gu An was deceiving them.

Despite Gu Anhao's attempts to persuade them, they could only suppress their worries and turn to go home.

Yi Xiaoqiang took a few steps, then couldn't help but turn back. He looked at Gu An standing by the stream, smiling as he watched them leave. He felt inexplicably dazed.

For some reason, he felt a sense of closeness to Gu An, and this closeness made him feel a strong reluctance to part with her.

He was afraid that if he left, he would never see Gu An again.

Yi Xiaoqiang opened his mouth, as if to say something. Gu An looked at him and smiled, "Hurry up and go home. I'm still waiting for you to tell me the story of Journey to the West tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Yi Xiaoqiang felt relieved. He chuckled and turned to quickly catch up with his companion.

As Gu An watched them leave, he thought to himself, "Pan An's name is indeed widely known."

It wasn't just Journey to the West that flowed into this continent; even Investiture of the Gods and Romance of the Three Kingdoms did the same. Gu An saw the driving force behind this.

Someone wants to inspire the mortals of this continent to pursue immortality.

Gu An didn't care too much; a mere Xuanxin Realm cultivator couldn't influence his decision to establish a Lifespan Dao Field.

Instead of returning to Tai Xuan Sect, he walked in another direction.

He is going to choose a suitable place to establish a longevity training ground.

When the time comes, he will move the secluded paradise and the eight scenic paradises to the underground. As for the Third Medicine Valley, the Mysterious Valley, the End of the World Valley, and the Mountain God Temple, he will not touch them, but will only occasionally pick medicinal herbs there.

He wanted the people of Tai Xuan Sect to gradually get used to life without him, so that when he really left, Tai Xuan Sect wouldn't collapse.

Once the temple is established, he can allow Tian Yao'er and the other two girls to move around in the mountains and forests instead of being confined to the secluded cave.

……

Deep in the void, countless figures were flying around a giant palace. Nine suns hovered above the palace, radiating magnificent heavenly power. The master of this war court, Ye Tianji, sat on his throne, his eyes reflecting the image of the Heavenly Spirit Great World.

The winged man stood on the platform, also looking into the distance. He turned to Ye Tianji and said, "That Yang Immortal Emperor is only at the level of Dao Cang Zizai Immortal. At that time, you don't need to take action. Just send another person to join forces with me."

He was the Daoist Zizai Immortal who invaded the Immortal Dynasty before. He was defeated by Emperor Yangxian, which made him feel ashamed and he has always wanted revenge.

Ye Tianji remained expressionless and said, "No need. This time, let's speed things up, kill those who deserve to be killed, seize what we should seize, and then go back."

The strange phenomena of reincarnation over the past two days made him uneasy. Recalling the legends of the Heavenly Spirit Great World, he felt that he could not delay any longer.

Upon hearing this, the winged man hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

His gaze was suddenly drawn to the nine suns above Ye Tianji's head. He saw mysterious figures appearing among those suns, sometimes visible, sometimes not, as if they were in another dimension.

"That is……"

The winged man's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart was filled with shock. He had not expected that Ye Tianji would summon them.

Could there be some terrifying existence hidden within the Heavenly Spirit Realm that he is unaware of?
Is it that Sword Master Fudao?
The winged man withdrew his gaze and turned back to look in the direction of the Heavenly Spirit Great World.

The mighty army of the War Court marched through the void, as if nothing could stop them.

At the same time, above the Heavenly Spirit Great World, a large number of figures appeared out of thin air on the Heavenly Dao Light Layer, and the great cultivators in the world all noticed the arrival of the War Court.

An indescribable sense of oppression was enveloping the Heavenly Spirit World, and those with higher cultivation levels felt it faster.

This reminds many people of the scene when the Xuanhuang Demon God attacked back then.

the other side.

Gu An was in the Third Medicine Valley, sitting in his chair, listening to An Xin recount the recent events that had occurred in the valley.

After Anxin finished speaking, she asked with a hint of resentment, "Master, when are we going to leave? If we don't leave now, I won't be able to face them."

Gu An laughed and said, "Why are you more anxious than I am?"

"You don't have to face those people inside the door."

Have you chosen your candidate yet?

“Let’s go with Long Qing. I can tell he doesn’t want to live in seclusion with us.”

Anxin casually replied that, unlike others, she genuinely wanted to put aside trivial matters and then go into seclusion to cultivate.

Gu An smiled and said, "Okay, then it's him."

His quick agreement surprised An Xin.

"Master, didn't you say he was burdened with great karma? Are you sure you can trust him to take charge on his own?" Anxin asked curiously.

What karma did Long Qing bear? Not only was he curious, but An Xin was also very curious.

Gu An replied, "It's alright, the heavy karma he bears will soon dissipate."

Thank you to "Only Seeking Peach Blossom Spring" for the 2000 Qidian Coins reward.
