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

Chapter 509 The Nine Absolute Sacred Heart Sword, the Legend of Yang Xian

Human Peak, on Dingtian Peak.

"The Dao Fruit of Heaven and Earth... Celestial Beings..."

In the courtyard atop the mountain, Gu An sat in a rocking chair, his eyes closed, lost in thought.

He overheard Zhu Xi's conversation with the Immortal Seeker. With his current cultivation level as a Golden Immortal, no movement within the Heavenly Spirit World could escape his notice, especially since he had always been paying attention to Zhu Xi.

Gu An had always remembered the Immortal Seeker, but he never expected that the Immortal Seeker had such a background.

What kind of world is the sky?
Could the arrogant fellows that the Immortal Seeker was talking about be the very immortals and gods he was relentlessly pursuing?

Heavenly Golden Elixir, Heavenly Dao Fruit...

Interesting. Could it be that the former Heavenly Spirit Great World was transformed from a powerful being, and after that powerful being perished, the world shattered, thus forming the vast universe we have today?
If so, what level of cultivation does that being possess?
After reaching the Innate Golden Immortal realm, Gu An's Dao Fruit was also able to create a world, which confirmed that the being was at least at the Innate Golden Immortal realm, but how high that realm was was difficult to estimate.

Perhaps the world needs time to grow, but Gu An wanted to overestimate his opponent as much as possible, because he would treat any powerful being as a hypothetical enemy.

He won't harbor hostility towards people he has no grudge against, but he needs to have the confidence to deal with them.

The Heavenly Spirit God uses the Heavenly Dao Golden Pill to scheme, but what is the Heavenly Dao Fruit, which can devour living beings, scheming about?
Gu An suddenly found the clear and transparent Heavenly Spirit World in his eyes to be interesting and full of suspense.

He wanted to see what kind of storms the Heavenly Dao Golden Elixir and the Heavenly Dao Fruit would stir up in the years to come.

Since he has already decided to observe the world from within the dojo, he will not make a move easily.

Gu An opened his eyes, raised his hand, and grabbed a book from the room. He kept many books in his various residences, occasionally revisiting them to learn new things.

He rocked gently in the rocking chair, undisturbed.

A figure appeared out of thin air in the courtyard; it was none other than Zhu Xinglan, the eldest disciple of Dingtian Peak.

With his cultivation at the ninth level of the Immortal Realm, he noticed his master's chair was shaking again. He glanced at it a couple more times, then began tending to the courtyard.

He had no idea that his master was sitting in the chair.

Gu An did not leave either, but due to the vast difference in their cultivation levels, he was able to make Zhu Xinglan completely unable to see him or sense any trace of his presence.

As for Renjianfeng, they did not know Gu An's name, only Meng Lang.

For a great cultivator, it's not unusual to be away for thousands or tens of thousands of years, so no one wondered why Gu An had disappeared.

After spending half a day at Human Peak, Gu An stepped back into the Wushi Dojo.

……

On the continent of Taicang, in a desolate wasteland.

Long Qing sat cross-legged in the air, surrounded by black mist that caused his robes to billow violently.

Zhu Xing stood on the ground, staring at him, nodding slightly, her eyes full of admiration.

At this moment, Long Qing opened his eyes, looked into the distance, frowned, and asked, "What kind of sword is this? It's incredibly powerful."

Zhu Xing turned his head and followed his gaze to the horizon, saying, "The Nine Absolute Sacred Heart Sword of the Great Hong Sword Heaven is the first demonic sword of their sect. It was formed from the cultivation of a certain sword master, whose soul was refined into a sword spirit and then placed into the Sacred Heart Sword Dao of the Sword Dao River. It was nurtured for countless years before it formed its current sword aura. Obtaining this sword will give you the ability to roam the world freely."

Upon hearing this, Long Qing asked in surprise, "The Demon Sword?"

“Yes, to subdue this sword, you need to gain the approval of its sword spirit. However, the sword spirit is violent and often devours its master's soul, so it is naturally considered a demonic sword.” Zhu Xing said, a playful look on his face.

Long Qing narrowed his eyes and asked, "Could it be that the Great Hong Sword Heaven intends to feed this demonic sword by devouring all living beings of the Heavenly Spirit Great World?"

"No, it's probably related to the founding patriarch of the Great Hong Sword Heaven, the Sword God."

"Sword God?"

Then, Zhuxing recounted the deeds of the Sword God Yang Ping'an, and also mentioned the Sword Dao Saint Ancestor Yang Xian. Long Qing listened with great interest, never expecting that such a powerful figure existed in other great worlds.

Zhu Xing paused for a moment and said, "The transcendent one who protects this great world once said that the Sword Saint Ancestor possesses the highest level of comprehension in this great world, and can even be considered an anomaly."

Long Qing asked curiously, "Where is that Sword Dao Saint Ancestor now?"

"Then I do not know. Some say he has perished, others say he is hiding deep within the River of Swords, because the Sacred Heart Sword Dao has been integrated into the River of Swords, and sword cultivators in other worlds can also comprehend the Sacred Heart Sword Dao. Now, I don't know how many sword cultivators and sword sects admire the Sacred Ancestor of Swords. I have also comprehended the Sacred Heart Sword Dao, and it is indeed vast and boundless."

Zhu Xing shook his head and said, his tone filled with longing when he mentioned the Sword Saint Ancestor.

Long Qing also began to envision the Sacred Heart Sword Path.

"what?"

Zhu Xing suddenly exclaimed in surprise, interrupting Long Qing's thoughts.

Long Qing looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Xing narrowed his eyes and said, "The Nine Absolute Sacred Heart Sword is going to have a master. I didn't expect even he to come. What exactly are these old guys trying to do after reincarnating?"

Long Qing was even more confused, but no matter how he asked, Zhu Xing refused to reveal anything, only saying that he would find out later.

Although he didn't get an answer, Long Qing's heart was already burning with excitement.

From Zhuxing, he learned about a wider world and learned about more legendary and powerful beings who had shaken the world throughout history. He also wanted to become such a being.

He suddenly thought of his master.

What exactly is the master's title?
"Sword Master Fudao" is just a title given to my master by the Tai Xuan Sect; my master certainly has his own Daoist name.

……

Amidst the rolling mountains, in the woods along the ridge, Li Ya followed an old man. The mystical spirit on his shoulder watched the old man nervously, as if afraid he would stop.

The old man wore a white inner garment and a black outer robe, with a bright red belt wrapped around his waist. His white hair was tied under a jade crown, and even though his face was old, he still exuded a noble air.

The old man carried a sword box on his back, with a talisman pasted on it. The blood-written characters on the talisman faintly gleamed with a cold light.

The old man suddenly stopped, startling Li Ya, who also stopped.

"With your Nirvana Realm cultivation, you wouldn't want to snatch the sword from me, would you?" the old man asked, his back to Li Ya.

Li Ya took a deep breath and said, "Of course I wouldn't dare, but I have witnessed your power, senior, and I wish to become your disciple and cultivate the ultimate sword path!"

His gaze was burning with fervor. The earth-shattering battle from before still echoed in his mind, and the image of the old man suppressing all the heroes with a single sword left a deep impression on him.

He heard from a senior who was watching the battle that among the great cultivators vying for the divine sword was a powerful being standing at the ninth level of the Immortal Path. However, when he heard that such a powerful person had made a move, his desire to seize the sword completely died, and he became more of a spectator afterward.

However, the powerful figure at the ninth level of the Immortal Path whom he wanted to focus on was defeated, and defeated utterly humiliatingly.

After the old man left with the divine sword, Li Ya could still feel the sword guiding him, so he followed it.

With the old man's abilities, how could he possibly keep up?

When Li Ya actually caught up, he began to feel hopeful, thinking that the other party also wanted to give him a chance.

The old man turned to look at Li Ya and said, "It's not impossible for you to become my disciple. The karma on your body is complicated, and it seems that your fate has been altered. Because of this, you should have a better understanding of karma and destiny. I can even pass on this Nine Absolute Sacred Heart Sword to you."

"but……"

Li Ya immediately pressed, "But what?"

Upon hearing that he could obtain the sword, his breathing became rapid.

Thank you to Huangshan for the 500 Qidian Coins reward and to Zhiqiu Taohuayuan for the 500 Qidian Coins reward.
