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

Chapter 557 Gu An's Story

Gu An entered the Wushi Dojo and looked into the distance. Above the mountains, two people were fighting, namely Lü Xian and Chen Chuan.

These two were the most combative, even more so than the Blood Prison Great Sage. However, they were just sparring and never got into a fight, so Gu An never stopped them.

Gu An felt very gratified to see Chen Chuan looking so majestic in the sky.

In his memory, he had never seen Xiao Chuan so spirited.

He was also thinking about when to help Chen Chuan regain his memories of his past life, but he felt that such things couldn't be rushed and it was best to let nature take its course.

A figure appeared out of nowhere beside Gu An. It was An Xin. She looked at Gu An with resentment and said, "Master, why didn't you tell me when you left yesterday?"

"Hmm? Are you the master, or am I the master?"

"Oh, I just wanted to go out for a walk with you."

"If you're bored, you can go visit the Qiankun Sect. They'll have a lot of new things going on, and I'll go check it out."

"really?"

"really."

Gu An was not lying. As the Heavenly Spirit World was reshaped and various realms came together, sects began to travel the world. In the years to come, the entire Heavenly Spirit World would be full of vitality.

As a new era begins, sects vie for supremacy, and different realms have different cultivation philosophies. When these philosophies collide, they generate even more sparks.

What follows will be an unprecedented golden age!
Those powerful figures who survived the old era will rise to the pinnacle of power, while the new world will be far stronger than before. The new rules of heaven and earth will give birth to more geniuses, and even raise the upper limit of geniuses.

Gu An sensed the fortune of heaven and earth and foresaw the imminent birth of a large number of geniuses with a lifespan of 9,999 years.

He is looking forward to it.

The master and apprentice chatted as they walked along the mountain path, and the gentle breeze made Anxin feel a little dazed.

Unbeknownst to her, she was already 9,521 years old. She felt that her life experience was not very rich, but that also showed that she had lived a peaceful and comfortable life.

She turned to look at her master beside her, and his profile calmed her heart.

She also developed expectations.

Ten thousand years later, a million years later, or even ten million years later, will she still be able to follow her master?

If she followed along, what kind of scenery would she see?
……

The Spring Festival of the Qiankun Sect had just passed, and cultivators could be seen coming and going everywhere in the mountains. Most of them flew in the same direction, towards a giant city surrounded by mountains on all sides, with rosy clouds bursting out, like a mirage, and with the grandeur of a celestial city.

This city is the main city of the Qiankun Sect. Since the Great World was reshaped, a thousand years have passed. The Qiankun Sect has seized the opportunity and developed rapidly. It is not only the leader of the righteous path on the Nine Spirits Continent, but also established its reputation in many surrounding sea areas.

This year, the Qiankun Sect is preparing to hold a grand conference of hundreds of sects, inviting hundreds of orthodox sects from home and abroad to discuss and exchange ideas. This is the first time the Qiankun Sect has held such a grand event, making the main city of the Qiankun Sect exceptionally lively.

Inside the main city, the library was packed with people.

Under An Xin's guidance, the structure of the Qiankun Sect was almost identical to that of the Tai Xuan Sect. However, the Qiankun Sect and the Tai Xuan Sect were far apart, and the two had no contact for the time being.

"Why is 'Supreme Qiankun' sold out again? With the Qiankun Sect's resources, couldn't they print a few more copies?"

A young male disciple stood in front of the counter, stared at the disciples of the library, and asked with wide eyes.

The disciple from the library spread his hands, saying helplessly, "Senior brother, yelling at me won't help. I'm just in charge of selling."

The young male disciple glared at him, then turned and left.

Immediately afterwards, another disciple came to the counter and inquired about the book "Supreme Ruler of Heaven and Earth".

At this moment, on the second floor of the library, Gu An, dressed in blue, was standing in front of a row of bookshelves, browsing through books. Tian Yao'er came over, saw the book titles, and couldn't help but purse her lips.

"Young master, is this kind of book really worth reading?"

Outside the dojo, Gu An had instructed that she should not call him master, but young master. Although Tian Yao'er did not understand, she thought it was good to call him young master, at least the relationship between the two was more equal, which made her often have wild thoughts.

Gu An looked at the Nine Spirits Heroes in his hand and chuckled softly, "Any book is fine to read."

Since he started writing books within the Qiankun Sect, he has sparked a novel craze. The Nine Spirits Heroes is also a story about the protagonist's adventure, and its writing style is clearly imitating his.

Upon hearing Gu An's words, Tian Yao'er pursed her lips, then turned and left. She planned to go for a stroll in the city. With her cultivation at the Loose Immortal Realm, she was considered a great cultivator within the Qiankun Sect and wouldn't be in any trouble, especially since Gu An was still there.

After Tian Yao'er left, Gu An continued reading.

Not long after, two women came up to the second floor; they were Li Xuanyu and Tang Cai.

Since being rescued by An Xin, they have lived on the Nine Spirits Continent. Later, seeing the growing power of the Qiankun Sect, they took the initiative to join and are now disciples of the Qiankun Sect.

In fact, given their status, they could have become elders, but they didn't want to be too closely tied to the Qiankun Sect, since they would have to leave sooner or later.

"Sister, why did we come here?" Tang Cai asked, puzzled. The library was full of miscellaneous books. If one wanted to pursue Taoist arts, one could go to the scripture library.

Li Xuanyu replied, "Wandering around is a good way for you to temper your restless mind, as you are too impetuous."

Her gaze swept across the second floor, passing over the disciples, as if searching for something.

However, after looking around, she didn't see the person she was looking for, and a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Tang Cai was immediately displeased upon hearing Li Xuanyu's words. She had only been in seclusion for eight hundred years, and she was already acting frivolous?
She was about to retort when she saw Li Xuanyu heading towards the stairs to the third floor. "I'm not impetuous, all these years..." Tang Cai caught up with Li Xuanyu and argued.

"Senior Sister Li."

A voice came from behind, causing Li Xuanyu to stop in her tracks. She turned around and saw Gu An carrying a book as he walked between the two rows of bookshelves.

After not seeing him for so long, Li Xuanyu felt somewhat dazed, as she felt that Gu An was completely different from the image she remembered.

In her memory, Gu An was cautious and reserved, but now Gu An was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament, as if he were an immortal.

Tang Cai looked at Gu An with a suspicious look in her eyes.

She was immediately struck by Gu An's handsome appearance; what a dashing man.

She was only evaluating him in her heart; she didn't fall in love with Gu An at first sight. She had traveled the world and met countless people, but she had never seen a cultivator whose temperament could compare to Gu An's.

Even her beloved Li Ya couldn't compare to Gu An in terms of temperament; what attracted her to Li Ya was more his heroic spirit and loyalty.

Gu An walked towards Li Xuanyu and asked with a smile, "Senior Sister Li, don't you recognize me?"

Li Xuanyu came to her senses and said with emotion, "Of course I recognize you. To be honest, the reason I came here is to find you. After all, your disciple is also on this continent. Everything about the Qiankun Sect is very similar to the Taixuan Sect. I suspect it is related to you."

She didn't know that Gu An was the Sword Master of the Dao, but An Xin's strength proved that Gu An's cultivation had surpassed hers.

The reason she wanted to find Gu An was simply to thank him in person.

She's not stupid; her willingness to save them must be at Gu An's behest.

"I don't have that kind of ability. How about we find an inn and catch up?" Gu An asked with a smile, and Li Xuanyu naturally had no objection.

Gu An didn't ignore Tang Cai either, and introduced himself to her.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the three of them went downstairs.

Tang Cai's expression turned strange when she saw Gu An spending money to buy the Nine Spirits Heroes Chronicle.

After learning that Gu An was An Xin's master, she felt great respect for him. However, she never expected that such a great cultivator would read such miscellaneous books.

Shouldn't a great cultivator delve into the Great Dao?

Li Xuanyu didn't care; she already knew that Gu An liked reading.

Seeing that Gu An still had this hobby, she felt a sense of kinship and that the distance between them had been shortened.

Afterwards, the three of them found the nearest inn and sat down. After asking each other about their experiences, Gu An steered the conversation toward Li Ya, since Li Ya was the key figure in their relationship.

Tang Cai became excited at the mention of Li Ya, because Li Ya's reputation had already spread to the Nine Spirits Continent.

Li Ya wields the Nine Absolute Sacred Heart Sword. Although he is not yet the number one swordsman in the world, his strength is already very strong. In addition, he loves to travel around, and his reputation has spread far and wide.

"I heard he has a feud with the Holy Son of the Yao Guang Holy Sect and is being hunted down by them. I want to help him, but my sister says I'll only be a hindrance. Gu An, you're Li Ya's junior brother, can you help him?" Tang Cai looked at Gu An, her tone pleading.

She had been through a lot with Li Ya and knew how difficult things were behind Li Ya's success.

He must have suffered a serious injury again, otherwise it wouldn't have come to the point of becoming enemies.

Before Gu An could speak, Li Xuanyu said coldly, "Tang Cai, don't trouble Junior Brother Gu with Li Ya's matter. That was his own choice. Junior Brother Gu saved us, and we already owe him a huge debt of gratitude. How dare we trouble him again?"

"But……"

"No buts!"

Li Xuanyu said in an irrefutable tone, leaving Tang Cai no choice but to nod in grievance.

Looking at Li Xuanyu's expression, Gu An found it amusing. He replied, "The Yao Guang Holy Sect is indeed powerful. It is said that there is a Mysterious Immortal in the sect. The Mysterious Immortal is at the sixth level of the Immortal Dao, and he is not easy to provoke."

The Sixth Heaven of Immortal Cultivation!
Li Xuanyu's expression turned unnatural, while Tang Cai became nervous.

Gu An comforted him, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Li has the Divine City, a supreme treasure of the immortal path, as well as the Nine Absolute Sacred Heart Sword. He has great fortune and will surely turn bad luck into good. The Nine Absolute Sacred Heart Sword is the number one divine sword in the world."

Hearing his words, Li Xuanyu could only nod, while Tang Cai was filled with endless worry.

Afterwards, Gu An talked about the Qiankun Sect's Hundred Sects Conference. Although Li Xuanyu was still responding, the atmosphere became noticeably colder.

About half an hour later, Gu An bid farewell to the two women.

Li Xuanyu and Tang Cai stood in front of the inn, watching Gu An leave.

"Sister, he's Li Ya's junior brother, so he's also a member of the Tai Xuan Sect. Why did he come to such a far place alone?" Tang Cai asked curiously.

Looking at Gu An's retreating figure, Li Xuanyu said, "Perhaps he carries something that makes him leave his homeland. In life, one is always not in control of one's own destiny."

Upon hearing this, Tang Cai felt that Gu An's silhouette was full of stories, just like Li Ya's.

Just then, they saw a stunningly beautiful woman walk quickly out of the crowd, grab Gu An's arm, and the two walked forward chatting and laughing intimately before disappearing into the crowd.

Tang Cai opened her mouth, as if to ask something, but didn't say anything.

Li Xuanyu remained silent as well.
