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

Chapter 508 Heavenly Dao Fruit, Celestial Being
Gu An could hear the thoughts of the divine spirits. Although he could maintain a mental connection with them, he rarely paid any attention to them.

The main problem is that the supernatural spirits are too annoying. Gu An had responded to them before, but this only made them keep nagging and bothering him.

Gu An was not worried about Li Ya's plan to seize the sword, nor was he afraid that Li Ya would cause him trouble.

He will only save Li Ya's life, not help Li Ya seize the sword.

Saving a life is no difficult task for Gu An; it's as simple as blowing a breath.

Gu An continued fishing until an hour later before he got up and left.

Blood Prison Great Sage quickly followed his steps, while Chen Chuan remained by the lake, his eyes closed, sensing his own sword intent.

He wanted to resist the sword's pull, feeling that if he could, his swordsmanship would advance to a higher level.

Dozens of miles away, An Shengtian was practicing his internal energy cultivation on a cliff, a gentle breeze ruffling his hair.

Ten miles further ahead, his master Jiang Shi was sowing seeds. Jiang Shi did not use magic, but planted the seeds by hand, treating it as a form of cultivation.

Looking eastward, Tian Yao'er was discussing cultivation with the Ephemeral Flower Ghost Mother.

The others secluded themselves in their respective caves, all steadfastly advancing on their own paths of cultivation.

The wind that swept through the Beginningless Dojo rose to the heavens, carrying away the four seasons.

In the late summer of the following year, the battle for that divine sword finally broke out. This sword attracted sword cultivators from all over the world, and Li Ya, who was in the Nirvana Realm, could not get involved at all.

Let alone asking Gu An to save him, he doesn't even have the right to see the divine sword.

The battle between the two magical immortals prevented him and the otherworldly spirits from proceeding, forcing them to wait in the distance.

Unfortunately, as time went on, Li Ya not only could not advance, but was also forced to retreat, because sword cultivators with higher cultivation levels were also participating in the competition.

……

As the sun sets, in a bustling city, Zhu Xi, dressed in yellow, walks down the street. She still looks so young, like she's sixteen or seventeen. She looks around, her eyes shining.

No one could have imagined that this seemingly innocent girl was actually Sheng Tian of the Holy Court, once the strongest person in the world.

Just as Zhu Xi was captivated by the scene on both sides of the street, a figure came toward her.

"Young friend, please wait a moment."

A laugh came from ahead, and Zhu Xi looked up and stopped in her tracks.

A young monk in a kasaya blocked her way. This man was the Immortal Seeker who taught the Daoist Enlightenment Technique. It was because the Daoist Enlightenment Technique was promoted to the Innate Reincarnation Technique that Gu An was able to help the people she cared about extend their lifespan.

Zhu Xi's smile vanished, and she calmly looked at the Immortal Seeker.

The Taoist Seeker smiled and said, "I see you have extraordinary fortune. Would you like to become an immortal? I can help you!"

Zhu Xi stared at him and said, "You, a monk, call yourself a humble Taoist? Do you think you're credible?"

“This humble Taoist is certainly reliable. His Majesty the Holy Heaven was born from the divine spirit and fortune. Even if he is a reincarnated being, his eyes can see through everything, can’t they?” The Immortal Seeker said with a smile, which made Zhu Xi frown.

When he mentioned the Holy Heaven, a passing monk looked at him suspiciously, but quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Zhu Xi and Xunxian Daoren faced each other in the crowd. They were out of step with the world and did not care about the opinions of others.

Zhu Xi's gaze gradually sharpened, as if she had become a different person. Her brows exuded an aura of dominance, and she looked down at the Immortal Seeker, asking, "A celestial being?"

The Taoist Seeking Immortality laughed and said, "Your Majesty is indeed formidable."

Zhu Xi lifted her right foot and took a step forward. As her toes touched the ground, the world suddenly changed. The streets and people coming and going all disappeared, and they suddenly found themselves in a dark, desolate wilderness. Dark clouds covered the sky, and there was a faint rumble of thunder.

The Immortal Seeker remained calm, still smiling as he looked at Zhu Xi. "Are you sure you have what I want?" Zhu Xi asked, raising her right hand. The soil around her broke open, and tree roots shot out, quickly intertwining in the sky to form a giant sword, pointing directly at the Immortal Seeker.

This wooden sword was larger than the mountains in the world; when it appeared, it seemed to occupy half the sky.

The Immortal Seeker replied, "You are searching for the Dao Fruit of Heaven and Earth. What you want is not just to unify the current Heavenly Spirit Great World, but the entire Heavenly Spirit Great World, is that right?"

Zhu Xi narrowed her eyes and did not reply.

The Immortal Seeker continued, "The Dao Fruit of Heaven and Earth will appear sooner or later, but now there are already beings who surpass the Free Immortal. Your Majesty, how will you seize it then?"

Zhu Xi snorted, "So you can't give me anything? Or are you just here to remind me?"

"No, no, I'm here to save your life. The Heavenly Dao Golden Core is bait left behind by that person at the Realm Gate, and the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit is even more forbidden. If your cultivation level is not high enough, you will be devoured as soon as you touch the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit. There are even more terrifying karmas hidden inside, karmas that even that person at the Realm Gate does not know about," the Immortal Seeking Daoist said leisurely.

Zhu Xi squinted and asked, "Then tell me, what level of cultivation is required to make contact with it?"

"Reaching the pinnacle of the Free Immortal realm." The Immortal Seeker's smile turned playful.

Zhu Xi frowned and asked, "Are those above the ninth level of the Immortal Path still considered Free Immortals?"

“That’s right. There are three more levels of the Free Immortal realm above. None of the supreme experts who appeared in the past few thousand years have reached this level. Even the Sword Venerable of the Dao has not been able to unleash the aura of that level.”

Upon hearing the Immortal Seeker mention the Sword Master of Supporting the Dao, Zhu Xi's expression turned gloomy.

Even though she has fully regained her memories of her past life, she still cherishes the bond between master and disciple in this life and deeply respects Gu An.

In her view, Gu An was an ancient senior from beyond the heavens, whose cultivation far surpassed hers, and who had also been kind enough to teach her, so she should respect him.

Even the Sword Master Fudao is not qualified to come into contact with the Dao Fruit of Heaven and Earth?

Zhu Xi fell silent.

The Taoist Seeking Immortality looked at her quietly for a long while before saying, "I have a method that can help you avoid being devoured."

Zhu Xi looked up and stared at him with a suspicious expression.

The Immortal Seeker continued, "What you need to do is first transcend the nine levels of the Immortal Path and possess the ability to roam freely in the world. I wonder if you can do that?"

Zhu Xi said coldly, "I could have done it long ago, but I deliberately suppressed my realm. I can feel that there are supreme beings watching from beyond the heavens. If I break through, I will encounter misfortune. Some free immortals need thousands or tens of thousands of reincarnations, but I only need one lifetime."

The Immortal Seeker was taken aback, clearly surprised by her. He took a deep breath and exclaimed, "As expected of the chosen one of heaven and earth, selected by the heavenly spirit. Since that's the case, then I will pass on the cultivation technique to you. Master it first, and then break through."

Zhu Xi's right hand fell, and the huge wooden sword hanging in the dim sky vanished into thin air.

"Who exactly are you, and why are you helping me?" Zhu Xi stared intently at the Immortal Seeker, hoping he could give her an answer.

The Immortal Seeker turned around, looked at the horizon, and said, "I do come from heaven, but I am not with those arrogant fellows. The reason I helped you is only to fulfill my wish. My disciple died in this great world."

Zhu Xi asked in surprise, "Your disciple's death requires you to plan all this? You need me to help you avenge him?"

The Immortal Seeker glanced at her and said, "Your fusion with the Dao Fruit of Heaven and Earth is enough to make up for the regret in my heart."

Zhu Xi frowned, still somewhat confused.

The Immortal Seeker said no more.

Sudden.

Zhu Xi seemed to realize something, her expression changed drastically, and she looked at the Immortal Seeker in disbelief.
