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

Chapter 505 Never Give Up
In the mountains and forests, Yi Qingshan, Lin Chuan, Cheng Meng, Gu Changsheng, and Gu Chengdao walked and talked, looking at the forest, which felt both familiar and strange to them.

They talked about events from a thousand years ago, filled with emotion.

Cheng Meng suddenly said, "Do you think it's possible that Master is still alive?"

Upon hearing this, the other four fell silent.

They naturally hoped that Gu An could live, but when they left, their master was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Judging from the cultivation speed their master described, it would be difficult for him to live for a thousand years.

Of course, unless their master was lying to them, since they had never truly understood their master's cultivation level.

"Didn't we come back here specifically to find him?"

Gu Chengdao spoke up. As the youngest of the five, he was the most composed. He always felt that his master was not an ordinary person.

They had traveled the world for thousands of years and seen countless extraordinary figures, but when he recalled his master's figure, he felt that his master was in no way inferior to those people.

Yi Qingshan said, "Anyway, we're already back. There's no rush to establish a sect. Let's find our master first."

His words were echoed by the other four; even though their master had passed away, it was still worthwhile to spend several years on him.

Gradually, their conversation turned to their enemies.

They would grit their teeth and shout at the mention of their enemies. Their disciples and friends had been killed by their enemies, and they themselves had almost died.

Even if they hated him, they had no way to take revenge because the other party had the cultivation level of an immortal and was backed by a powerful sect.

As they chatted, they came to a stream, and when they looked at it, they were both stunned.

Lin Chuan couldn't help but ask, "Could this be the stream from a thousand years ago? How come it's still here?"

Yi Qingshan was also somewhat dazed. He continued, "A thousand years is not enough to cause a major change in the world. Moreover, there are no sectarian battles or demonic disturbances in this area, so naturally there won't be any major changes."

They looked around, reminiscing about the past.

After a while, footsteps came from the depths of the woods across the stream, immediately attracting the attention of Yi Qingshan and his group of five.

They didn't sense any human or demon presence, but they heard footsteps. How could they not be alarmed?

They stared intently as a woman in green carrying a bamboo basket emerged from the depths of the woods. She was beautiful and had a pure and holy air about her, like a celestial maiden descended to earth, leaving Yi Qingshan and his companions stunned.

The visitor was reassuring.

A thousand years have passed. An Xin has already entered the Nirvana Realm, with an extraordinary temperament, while Yi Qingshan and others are still stuck in the Mahayana Realm, struggling to find an opportunity for Nirvana.

Anxin arrived at the stream, smiled at them, startled them, and they all bowed and clasped their hands in greeting.

“Senior, my name is Yi Qingshan. I cultivated here for several years a thousand years ago. Now I have returned to find my master. I wonder if we have offended you?” Yi Qingshan spoke first.

After all, a thousand years have passed, and if this place is now occupied, they will have no choice but to turn back.

He couldn't see through An Xin's cultivation level, so he was certain that An Xin was definitely a being at the Immortal Dao realm. Even if he was the lowest level Nirvana Realm cultivator, he was definitely not someone they could provoke.

Anxin smiled and said, "I have been cultivating here for a thousand years. Is your master perhaps named Gu An?"

Upon hearing this, the five were overjoyed and immediately agreed, pressing for details about Gu An's relationship with her.

An Xin replied, "I have indeed seen him. He is currently in seclusion and cultivating. I have established a Daoist temple in this area, and I have a connection with him. If you need any help in the future, you can tell me."

Hearing that their master was in seclusion, the five were very happy and bowed to express their gratitude for Anxin's kindness.

Yi Qingshan wanted to continue asking about Gu An's situation, but An Xin shook her head and didn't say anything more, leaving him no choice but to give up.

"Senior, we want to establish a sect nearby to help mortals cultivate immortality. Will that bother you?" Cheng Meng asked cautiously.

Anxin raised her hand and pointed to the stream in front of her, saying, "As long as your sect doesn't cross this stream, it won't be considered a disturbance."

Gu An had already told her that Yi Qingshan was the reincarnation of Lu Jiujia, so she was also looking forward to seeing what kind of sect Yi Qingshan would establish.

Hearing the reassuring answer, the five were completely relieved.

Anxin turned around and walked back the way she came, leaving behind the words: "The path to enlightenment is long, so don't be blinded by hatred. Your own cultivation is the most important thing."

These words shocked the five people, and they only came to their senses after Anxin disappeared from their sight.

Gu Changsheng asked cautiously, "Did she hear what we said, or did she foresee it?"

It is said that powerful immortals can know a person's past and future with just a glance. Yi Qingshan took a deep breath and said, "It should be a deduction. Perhaps Master came here in the first place to find her."

The other four agreed, and felt even more awe for Anxin.

They didn't linger any longer and turned to leave.

Now that they were certain their master was still alive, they could begin their plan.

the other side.

Anxin walked into the depths of the woods, and when she saw Gu An's figure, a smile appeared on her face. She immediately quickened her pace, no longer displaying her previous ethereal grace, but instead becoming a lively and cheerful young girl.

"Master, how did I do?" An Xin asked Gu An proudly as she approached him.

Gu An stood in front of the bushes, a butterfly perched on his right hand. He stared at the butterfly and said softly, "Not bad, it has a bit of my style."

Anxin became even more smug and asked curiously, "Master, aren't you afraid they'll create another Tai Xuan Sect?"

Gu An replied, “As long as we are still in the Tianling Great World and still in contact with people, such things are unavoidable. Let them be. At least we have no responsibility to protect the sects they founded. The prosperity they created can still be enjoyed when you are bored. Experiencing fate and destiny in the mortal world is also a kind of cultivation.”

He raised his right hand, and the butterfly followed and flew away.

Afterwards, he walked towards the Wushi Dao Temple with peace of mind.

“That’s true. It can get boring after a long period of seclusion. But I made a promise with Tian Yao’er that we’ll spar again in a hundred years. I don’t want to lose to her again,” An Xin said, standing beside Gu An.

She gets along very well with Tian Yao'er. The competition between the two women is healthy, and they can motivate each other. No matter who wins or loses, they will not take it lightly.

"That's what she told me too," Gu An said with a smile.

There aren't many people at the Wushi Dojo, but none of them are quiet. He enjoys his current lifestyle.

When he gets bored, he can go to Seeking Immortal Island, Human Peak, or other places. He always has somewhere to go. After leaving Tai Xuan Sect, he is not isolated from the world.

The master and disciple chatted idly as they walked back to the temple.

the other side.

Deep in the universe.

The majestic gate stands tall in the void, like the center of the universe, exuding endless ancient and desolate energy.

A ripple appeared within the gate, and a figure emerged from it.

This was a black-clad man surrounded by crimson flames. His headdress resembled that of some kind of mythical beast, and his belt was adorned with dragon scales. He exuded a powerful aura.

After stepping out of the boundary gate, his gaze fell on the figure beside it. He turned around, raised his hand in greeting, and said, "Senior, it's been many years. How have you been?"

The figure he was facing was none other than the Heavenly Spirit God.

The Heavenly Spirit God was radiating intense light, and only his form could be seen, not his true appearance.

"It seems your War Court is determined to persist," the Heavenly Spirit God said coldly.

The man in black smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do. Our karmic ties with the Long clan are too deep to be resolved."

The Heavenly Spirit God did not respond, and the void fell silent.

The man in black hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Senior, if the Heavenly Court were to reappear in the mortal realm, would you return?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his face changed drastically, and he began to tremble all over.

The Heavenly Spirit God did not rise, but a terrifying killing intent locked onto the man in black, making him tremble with fear.

"Do not test the will of the gods, or the War Court will not be able to protect you."

The voice of the Heavenly Spirit God rang out, and the man in black felt dizzy, as if his body had fallen into an endless abyss. His vision blurred, and he was completely disoriented.

After a while.

The man in black opened his eyes and found himself on a meteorite. He stood up and looked around, but could not see the gate to the dimensional portal. He was secretly alarmed.

"What terrifying power of the Heavenly Dao... Is this the power that suppresses a vast world?"
