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

Chapter 511 The First Genius
Gu An looked at Li Xuandao kneeling in front of him and felt a lot of emotions.

At the beginning of his cultivation, Li Xuandao gave him a lot of support. Although Gu An already had the ability to protect himself at that time, Li Xuandao treated him like a junior without knowing his true cultivation level. In their interactions, Li Xuandao never bullied him and always treated him well.

The Tianya Valley provided by Li Xuandao was also an important part of Gu An's income during the first half of his life. Tianya Valley planted high-grade medicinal herbs from the beginning, which was extremely important to Gu An before he turned one hundred.

In addition, Li Xuandao treated Ye Yan, Yang Jian, and Wu Xin very well, so Gu An always had a good impression of Li Xuandao.

He felt that he and Li Xuandao had a bond of friendship, and they always had a pleasant chat. However, Li Xuandao was too busy as the emperor, and the two rarely met.

The last time we met was more than two thousand years ago.

Li Xuandao has successfully undergone Nirvana, but his apparent cultivation level is at the Integration Realm. He also has his own network of connections, but compared to Li Lingtian and the Yang family behind his mother, the power he has cultivated is not strong enough.

"Get up."

Gu An looked at the stunned Li Xuandao, spoke softly, and then lifted him up.

After Li Xuandao stood up, he took a deep breath and said, "You really didn't leave."

Gu An smiled and said, "It seems that we are indeed kindred spirits. You know what I'm thinking."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuandao knew that Gu An had seen through his hidden cultivation level. He wasn't too surprised, after all, Gu An's cultivation level was so high.

"Let's sit down and talk."

Gu An raised his hand in a gesture, and Li Xuandao nodded, then turned and walked to the table.

After the two sat down, looking at Gu An across from him who seemed like a celestial being in the world, Li Xuandao was somewhat dazed. He felt a mix of emotions, including surprise, relief, and being flattered.

He never expected that he could actually summon Gu An.

Gu An, who had abandoned the Tai Xuan Sect, had not abandoned him. How could he not be moved?
"Tell me, how can I help you?" Gu An asked. Even if he could predict it, he wanted to hear Li Xuandao say it himself, as this process would also help Li Xuandao calm down.

Li Xuandao took a deep breath and began to recount his predicament.

As Li Lingtian grew older, he became increasingly restless about his position as crown prince, while the Yang family behind the empress could no longer contain themselves and continued to instigate him.

The Yang family produced a genius who joined the Human Peak, a sacred place in the mortal realm. Human Peak is more powerful than any sect in the Broken Sea Domain, and Li Xuandao's hidden cultivation is nothing compared to Human Peak.

Li Xuandao was not afraid of Li Lingtian, but of Renjian Peak!
Gu An listened patiently, and only after Li Xuandao finished speaking did he sigh and say, "That kid Li Lingtian has never been a well-behaved person since he was a child, but that's normal. Born into the royal family, how can he not yearn for imperial power?"

Li Xuandao looked slightly embarrassed and said, "It's not his fault, but the throne is determined by various means. At least under my rule, the Taicang Dynasty has been developing very well."

That's true. The Taicang Dynasty has enjoyed peace for thousands of years. Even in times of peace and prosperity, there are many internal conflicts, but Li Xuandao always manages to resolve them.

Gu An did not think that Li Xuandao should abdicate. As long as the people of the Taicang Dynasty were doing well and Li Xuandao was long-lived, he could indeed stay on the throne forever.

Li Xuandao looked at Gu An, feeling uneasy.

In his view, Renjian Peak posed no threat to Gu An, but Gu An really had no reason to help him deal with Renjian Peak. Even if he gave his all, Gu An probably wouldn't care.

Gu An said, "How about this, I'll have Yang Jian help you, and he'll serve you from now on, what do you say?"

The reason for this arrangement is that Yang Jian recently wanted to leave the Holy Court, and coincidentally, Yang Jian was the first person to defeat Li Lingtian, so their destined battle could be prolonged.

Even today, Li Lingtian still aspires to be like Yang Jian.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuandao's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Really? Is that possible?"

He liked Yang Jian very much and wanted to subdue him from the first moment he saw him. That's why he had gathered the power of the dynasty to forge a suitable divine weapon for Yang Jian.

“Of course, he’ll be here in a few days,” Gu An said with a smile, feeling that Li Xuandao could go even further.

No matter how the future unfolds, for all living beings, a situation where multiple powers coexist is better. If the world is ruled by one force, trouble is more likely to occur.

Just like before, the Holy Court ruled the world, but demonic cultivators could slaughter the people of a region, and the truth could be easily suppressed by the Holy King.

Therefore, based on this idea, Gu An also hopes that the Taicang Dynasty can go further. Of course, he will only act as a go-between and will not take action himself.

In fact, Yang Jian also had a good impression of Li Xuandao, and it might be a good thing for both of them to join forces.

Upon hearing Gu An's promise, Li Xuandao felt incredibly relieved, as if all the pent-up frustration in his chest had vanished.

He already knew that Yang Jian had regained his status as the Holy King, and that the current Yang Jian could help him contend with the Human Realm Peak, at least the Human Realm Peak would give Yang Jian face.

"How have you been these past years?" Gu An continued to ask, and began to exchange pleasantries with Li Xuandao.

Li Xuandao did not hide anything and sincerely recounted his experiences. The two seemed to have returned to Tianya Valley more than four thousand years ago and had a very pleasant conversation.

A full hour passed before Gu An finally left.

Watching Gu An come and go like the wind, leaving no trace, Li Xuandao exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "This is a true immortal."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Gu An arrived at Human Peak.

Gu An summoned Zhu Xinglan and ordered him to resolve the matter, forbidding anyone from interfering in the internal struggles of the Taicang Dynasty.

Zhu Xinglan immediately went to do it.

Even without his identity as the Sword Master of the Dao, Gu An could easily resolve this matter.

The Yang family is considered powerful in the Broken Sea Region, but in the Human Peak, their reach is not even close to the top.

After giving his instructions, Gu An rested in the courtyard. After some time, Zhu Xinglan returned. He was naturally very happy to see his master back.

Gu An was very satisfied with his hard work over the years, so he taught him supernatural powers, which made Zhu Xinglan even more surprised and delighted.

……

Inside a mansion in the Taicang Dynasty.

Li Lingtian sat in the head seat, his face full of impatience.

There were a dozen or so people standing in the hall, discussing how to rebel, and they even started arguing about it.

Li Lingtian was thoroughly fed up with listening and couldn't help but say, "Enough! No matter what, he is still my father. At most, I can only seize power; I can't possibly harm him!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and looked at him.

Li Lingtian is exceptionally talented and currently possesses the cultivation level of an immortal. He exudes an extremely powerful aura that can command respect.

"Don't you understand what imperial power means to your father? Struggles for imperial power are never without casualties!"

An arrogant voice came from outside the hall, and a man in white walked into the hall into the sunlight.

Everyone turned to look, their faces filled with surprise and delight.

An elderly man exclaimed excitedly, "Yang An, you're finally back!"

Yang An, the number one genius of the Yang family, is also a disciple of the Human Peak!

He was handsome and refined, exuding an extraordinary aura with every gesture. The moment he entered the room, Li Lingtian's aura dissipated.

Li Lingtian looked at Yang An, his brows furrowing slightly.

He was both resistant to and wary of Yang An.

The crowd made way for Yang An, who went straight to Li Lingtian, raised his chin slightly, looked down at him, and said, "The Yang family wants you to ascend the throne. This is your honor. You should not be indecisive. Li Xuandao was able to ascend the throne back then, but his hands were stained with the blood of many of his brothers."
