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

Chapter 571 The Creation of Heaven, Ten Thousand Years of Perseverance
After inheriting the memories of the Eternal Emperor, Gu An's life returned to normal. The disciples of the Daoist temple were unaware that he had cultivated the Immortal Emperor's Eye, while he continued to refine Daoist treasures.

In addition to crafting Dao treasures for the deep-sea dragon carp, he also planned to prepare a Dao treasure for each of Jiang Qiong, Long Qing, Yang Jian, and Zhang Bukui.

Of course, this is just for now; when to send it depends on his mood.

Refining treasures, gathering herbs, and occasionally instructing disciples—time marches on at this pace.

A thousand years can pass in the blink of an eye.

In the primordial era, the Celestial World was constantly creating, nurturing not only exceptionally gifted beings, but also superior natural treasures and magical artifacts.

Magical treasures are not only forged, but the heavens and earth themselves can also give birth to innate magical treasures. Innate magical treasures are more likely to trigger the rules of the heavens and earth, and each one contains immense power. Those who obtain innate magical treasures will be more likely to become powerful figures who can stir up the winds and clouds of the world.

Against this backdrop, the idea of ​​the Way of Heaven began to spread among the people again. Those who obtained the most precious treasures were said to be favored by the Way of Heaven, which made all living beings increasingly reverent and yearn for the Way of Heaven.

On this day, Gu An had just finished refining a Dao treasure. After laying the foundation for refining the new Dao treasure, he stood up.

He didn't greet Shen Zhen and simply walked away.

Shen Zhen didn't pay much attention and immersed herself in the Dao treasures inside the cauldron. She felt a Dao aura that she had never experienced before.

"How can he possess so much power of the Great Dao..."

Shen Zhen muttered to herself that, in her opinion, being proficient in one kind of Great Dao power was enough to surpass all living beings, but Gu An had already demonstrated more than a dozen kinds of Great Dao power, which were unfathomable.

She simply sighed, then stopped thinking about it and focused on comprehending the Great Dao.

In the last thousand years, during her comprehension of the Great Dao, she developed a longing in her heart. She seemed to want to find something, but she herself did not know what it was. She simply had this longing instinctively.

This yearning spurred her to work harder than she had in the first half of her life to understand the Tao, and she stopped being lazy.

the other side.

Gu An arrived at the cliff and looked down at the mountain path below. The path was flanked by high mountains that blocked out the sunlight, and the mountain walls were covered with grass and vines, making it look quiet and desolate.

At this moment, a scholar carrying a book box was walking forward with a wooden stick. The mountain path was steep, there were no stone steps, and weeds would cover the sharp rocks, making him walk even slower.

This scholar is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Spirit God.

Under Gu An's gaze, a white fox followed behind Tian Ling Shen.

After ten thousand years, this white fox finally found the reincarnated Heavenly Spirit God.

Ten thousand years ago, the eldest brother killed a villain in the city to save Xiao Wu, which led to the government's pursuit of him. The three white foxes also saved Xiao Wu's life as agreed. However, after breaking their vow of killing, they could no longer control their murderous intent. They would always try to eliminate those who caused them trouble. Over time, they were discovered by the cultivation sect.

Their cultivation levels were too low to withstand the cultivators' capture. After they were captured, Xiao Wu, because he possessed demonic power, was taken away by the sect as well.

After decades of cultivation, Xiao Wu sought an opportunity to rescue three white foxes, but by then two of them had already died tragically. Xiao Wu could only escape with the remaining white fox, which, although not dead, was on the verge of death.

The surviving white fox was named Su Jin. Due to her severe injuries, she could only rely on Xiao Wu for protection during her escape. The cultivation sect began to hunt them down because she had once disguised herself as a courtesan, which led the cultivators to maliciously speculate about their relationship and spread rumors. This also made their reputation spread, and more and more cultivators joined the hunt.

Despite the oppression from both the secular and cultivation worlds, Xiao Wu and Su Jin eventually developed feelings for each other.

When Xiao Wu delivered Su Jin to the demon realm, he died under the sword of a cultivator while covering Su Jin's escape.

Such tragic stories are not uncommon in this world. Su Jin was fortunate enough to become the disciple of a powerful demon and even obtained the method to seek reincarnation.

She had been searching for Xiao Wu for 50,000 years, and it was only in this lifetime that she finally found him.

Of course, Gu An was also partly responsible for her being able to find it. After all, the Heavenly Spirit God was covered by his karma, and if he didn't want to, she would never have been able to find him.

The Heavenly Spirit God has reincarnated hundreds of times, experiencing various lives. Each time he dies, his will briefly awakens, allowing him to undergo the cycle of reincarnation.

Gu An could sense the change in Tian Ling Shen's mindset, which is why he gave him a chance.

In this life, the Heavenly Spirit God is named Bai Sheng. He comes from a remote town and is on his way to the imperial city of the dynasty to take the imperial examination.

He reached the highest point of the mountain path, where the road began to descend. He stopped, put down his book box, and began wiping his sweat.

He looked back along the mountain path he had come from, and saw the undulating mountains and forests stretching endlessly, which brought a smile to his face and filled him with pride.

"Even if there is no reward for studying after traveling thousands of miles, this life is still worthwhile," Bai Sheng exclaimed sincerely, his handsome face full of a proud and satisfied smile.

He suddenly spotted a small white fox in the grass below. He immediately waved and laughed, "Little fox, we meet again. Are you reluctant to part with me?"

Upon hearing his words, Su Jin immediately emerged from the bushes, hurried up the mountain, and came to Bai Sheng, affectionately rubbing against his trouser leg.

Bai Sheng was amused by it, then took out his own dry food and gave it a piece.

Gu An stood on the mountaintop, looking down at the joyous scene of the man and the fox reuniting.

The story of the scholar and the monster reminded Gu An of the ancient Chinese literature "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" from his previous life. In the Tianling Great World, there are many love stories between humans and monsters, but they are not so complicated. Few mortals who betray monsters can have a good ending, after all, the difference in strength is there.

Bai Sheng and Su Jin's story in this life is destined to end in tragedy, but with Gu An's intervention, everything is subject to change.

Gu An planned to use Su Jin to test Tian Ling Shen.

If the heavenly spirits still have no compassion, then they will continue to be trapped in the cycle of reincarnation.

When Gu An no longer fears the Heavenly Court, that will be the time when he is reduced to ashes.

With nothing else to do, Gu An decided to participate. He turned and walked towards the mountains and forests. In an instant, his clothes changed into the attire of a chivalrous knight. He looked travel-worn but still retained the air of a chivalrous hero. He wore a bamboo hat and had the Qinghong sword at his waist.

Su Jin ate the pancake, her eyes fixed on Bai Sheng.

Looking at Bai Sheng, she seemed somewhat dazed.

Ten thousand years have passed, and he has become completely different.

In her memory, Xiao Wu was not so magnanimous; he always had a worried look on his face. But the secret method she cultivated told her that this person's soul was Xiao Wu's soul.

"In this life, I will definitely not let you suffer," Su Jin thought silently.

Sudden.

She turned her head to look, and her movement caused Bai Sheng to look up as well. They saw the trees beside them swaying, and they saw a person walking out from them.

Upon seeing Gu An's attire, Bai Sheng tensed up, fearing that the other party might be a bandit.

He immediately stuffed Su Jin into the book box, then looked at Gu An, trying to appear calm.

Gu An looked up, revealing a young but slightly weathered face beneath his bamboo hat. Seeing his smile, Bai Sheng immediately relaxed; he felt that Gu An seemed like a good person.

"My name is Gu An. I was just passing through this place and it's rare to run into someone, so I came to see you. I hope I didn't scare you?" Gu An said with a warm smile.

Bai Sheng quickly raised his hand in greeting and said, "How could I be frightened? I am Bai Sheng, a native of Lu County, and I am on my way to the capital."

Gu An asked curiously, "Are you going to participate in the scientific expedition?"

"That's right. May I ask where Brother Gu is headed?"

“What a coincidence, I’m also going to the capital. Why don’t we travel together? I can protect you, and you can talk to me about books. You scholars know a lot. I’ve practiced martial arts since I was a child and haven’t read many books. Actually, I also yearn for the world of you scholars.”

Gu An smiled, and his overly familiar attitude made Bai Sheng feel more favorably toward him.

The two sat down to chat, and the more they talked, the more they clicked.

Su Jin suddenly jumped out of the book box, which startled Gu An. Bai Sheng quickly introduced her, saying that he had a special connection with this fox.

"Foxes are very intelligent. There are many stories of scholars and fox spirits throughout history. Brother Bai, you have to be careful, it might be a monster," Gu An joked.

Su Jin couldn't help but glare at Gu An, thinking he was too talkative.

Bai Shengjun blushed and quickly said, "How could that be? Even if she were a monster, I could never have that kind of story with her."

Upon hearing this, Su Jin looked at Gu An with anger, but Bai Sheng did not notice the change in her expression.
