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

Chapter 539 Dynasties and Sects

Two hundred years have passed since the Buddha began teaching Zhang Bukui how to cultivate.

Just after the Spring Festival, the Nine Spirits Continent was bathed in bright sunshine, and the vast mountains and rivers were full of vitality, with flocks of birds flying out of the forests.

On a large tree, Gu An lay leaning against the trunk, opening his attribute panel to check his stats.

Name: Gu An

Lifespan: 9, 045/77, 189, ​​605, 409

[Physical Constitution: Primordial Limitless Body]

[Cultivation Level: Perfected Golden Immortal Realm]

……

Before I knew it, I was already nine thousand years old.

Gu An sighed inwardly. In ancient China, the second most powerful person often liked to call himself "Nine Thousand Years Old." Nine Thousand Years Old was so distant for ordinary people, equivalent to immortality.

Even when he reaches the age of nine thousand, he still feels very young.

Compared to those old monsters, he was still a young man.

Yes, it's so good to be young!

Gu An's gaze shifted downwards, where a stream stretched across the woods. On the other side of the stream, An Xin was instructing three young disciples of the Qiankun Sect, two men and one woman, who all appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. They were very respectful to An Xin, afraid of missing a word she said.

Gu An could hear the thoughts of a young man, who was thinking how beautiful An Xin was, and his face even turned slightly red.

This amused Gu An.

An Xin's appearance was already quite beautiful, and with her cultivation at the Loose Immortal Realm, her extraordinary temperament made her seem like a celestial maiden descended to earth. How could these young men, just beginning to experience love, resist her?

However, due to the rules and the difference in status, they could only dream about it.

for a long time.

Anxin stood up and said, "Alright, you can go back now."

The three disciples of the Qiankun Sect quickly stood up and bowed to her.

The young man, who was filled with admiration for An Xin, asked, "Immortal Master, when will we be able to see you again?"

The other two looked on with anticipation.

Anxin smiled softly and said, "If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again. I am a disciple of the Qiankun Sect, and each person only has one chance. This is fair to everyone else."

Upon hearing this, the three were immediately disappointed, but dared not beg, because before they came, their master and the elders of the sect had repeatedly told them that they must not offend the immortal master.

With a wave of her hand, she sent them a hundred miles away, not wanting to waste any more words.

She turned around and looked around. Only after Gu An appeared on the tree branch did she smile. If the three disciples saw her smile, they would surely be amazed.

During the previous instruction, An Xin never smiled, leading the three to believe that she was incapable of smiling.

“Master, Yi Qingshan also said that these three people are exceptionally talented, but I feel they are quite mediocre,” An Xin said.

Gu An replied, "Perhaps you just haven't noticed their extraordinary qualities; everyone has their strengths."

After hearing this, Anxin couldn't help but think of herself and realized that her master's words made sense. In the end, it was because her cultivation was not enough. If she were as powerful as her master, she could have taught an ordinary white spirit rat to become a demon king.

Gu An rolled off and led An Xin into the training ground.

Anxin began to recount the major events that had recently occurred within the Qiankun Sect. It was said that a prodigy had emerged within the sect. This disciple was originally of mediocre talent, but his fiancée was snatched away by a genius within the sect, and his clan was also massacred. Although many suspected that the genius was responsible, there was no evidence. Many people pitied this disciple, but that was all they could do.

After hundreds of years of silence, this disciple suddenly displayed extraordinary talent in cultivation and was also very strong in combat. He challenged that genius to a life-or-death duel, and the genius agreed.

A life-or-death duel is a rule within the Qiankun Sect. Both parties must personally agree in the Enforcement Hall and sign a contract before the duel can take place.

In addition, harming fellow disciples is a serious crime.

The purpose of establishing such a rule is to give those who want to settle old scores an opportunity.

Gu An listened attentively, but he didn't feel any sympathy. There were too many stories like this in the world, and there were even more tragic situations than this person's.

He didn't even try to deduce the outcome.

These days, not just anyone can enter his field of vision. He feels that taking care of Li Ya, An Hao, and others is already more than enough.

Since shedding the burden of protecting the Tai Xuan Sect and the Tai Cang Continent, Gu An's life has become much easier. This is the life he loves most now, as he can accumulate lifespan and have unlimited time to do what he wants.

Recently, he has been studying pottery. He plans to sculpt a small town on the edge of the studio, not for any profit, but just for fun.

While Gu An and An Xin were chatting about the turbulent events of the Qiankun Sect, Long Qing, far away at the Tai Xuan Sect, was also troubled by matters concerning the sect.

Long Qing is now a candidate for sect leader, managing all affairs of the sect, while Lü Baitian has long since gone into seclusion to pursue the Dao.

Inside the Elders' Hall, Long Qing sat in the head seat, with Long Jun and Zhu Xing standing on either side of him. Dozens of elders were gathered in front of him, arguing incessantly.

"The Taicang Dynasty has always obeyed the Taixuan Sect. Li Xuandao actually allowed his generals to compete with our Taixuan Sect's personal disciples for the treasure. This is clearly a test!"

"That's right, Li Xuandao has indeed gone too far over the years!"

"Imperial power should not be controlled by one person. I think Li Xuandao wants to become someone like the ruler of the Immortal Dynasty. Don't forget, the Immortal Dynasty initiated the war against the Holy Court!"

“With the support of the Holy King of the Holy Court, Li Xuandao certainly has the right to be arrogant.”

"Most importantly, that Holy King is a disciple of the Sword Master Fudao. If the Dragon Gate Master can persuade Yang Jian, will Li Xuandao still dare to be so arrogant?"

The elders were whispering amongst themselves when Ji Hantian looked at Long Qing and asked seriously, "Long Qing, do you have a way to contact your master?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Long Qing was troubled because it involved Yang Jian, whom he had heard was his master's most beloved disciple.

He replied, "No, but with Master's cultivation, he must be watching every move of the Tai Xuan Sect."

Ji Hantian remained silent, while the elders exchanged bewildered glances.

Many elders had never met the Sword Master Fudao, but they had heard many legends about him. Especially after entering the Elder Hall, they learned more about the Sword Master Fudao's status within the Tai Xuan Sect.

As long as the sword intent on the Heaven-Mending Platform remains, the exalted status of the Sword Venerable Fudao within the Tai Xuan Sect will not disappear, and no one will dare to challenge the Sword Venerable Fudao's prestige.

Gu Zong said, "The Taicang Dynasty has already dominated many sea areas, while the Tai Xuan Sect, although it is getting stronger, is far less powerful than the Taicang Dynasty. I think that instead of suppressing the Taicang Dynasty, we should develop the Tai Xuan Sect. When the Tai Xuan Sect is strong enough, the Taicang Dynasty will naturally come closer to us again."

Upon hearing this, a female elder couldn't help but retort: ​​"Development? How can we develop? We are a sect, and the main task of our disciples is cultivation, not territorial expansion. Moreover, we consider ourselves to be on the righteous path and cannot be plundered."

Her words resonated with many people.

Zhu Xing suddenly laughed and said, "Want to expand your business? Your opportunity has indeed arrived."

Everyone immediately looked at him, their faces filled with anticipation.

Zhu Xing was a highly accomplished Taoist master, and his words might be true. Moreover, Zhu Xing had accompanied Long Qing for thousands of years and provided assistance to the Tai Xuan Sect on numerous occasions, earning him immense prestige. This was also the reason why Long Qing was able to quickly seize power.
