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

Chapter 645 A Strange Attack
For Gu An, Zhao Rushen's search for Emperor Tianhong was a trivial matter. Ever since Zhao Rushen's birth, Emperor Tianhong's karma had changed. Although Emperor Tianhong would eventually defeat Zhao Rushen, he would face many more obstacles and would need many lifetimes to defeat Zhao Rushen.

As Gu An sat by the lake playing the zither, his thoughts drifted away, following Zhao Rushen's cause and effect.

Zhao Rushen is not a reincarnation of a deity, but he has an extremely strong destiny and will eventually reach the top of the Heavenly Spirit World. He may even bring a catastrophe to the world, and the Heavenly Emperor who defeats him will also become an immortal.

It is unknown whether Zhao Rushen was born of heaven and earth or was a product of divine calculation.

If it is the latter, it should have nothing to do with Taiyi Immortal Lord. Even though Gu An cannot calculate the cause and effect of Taiyi Immortal Lord through the Heavenly Dao Qi, he can still feel its existence.

Perhaps other immortals and gods have their eyes on the Heavenly Spirit World, but fortunately, they have no intention of descending in person.

While playing the piano, Gu An kept his attention on Xiao Lan.

The Dao Court has been leading its disciples on the path of the Great Dao for ten thousand years. This process has been fraught with countless hardships, and the number of disciples has decreased to less than 30% of what it used to be. If it weren't for Gu An's repeated interventions, they would have all perished within a hundred years of embarking on the path of the Great Dao.

There is no absolute order on the path of the Great Dao, only chaos and slaughter. There is no morality there, because all beings who come to the path of the Great Dao are here for an era.

Under Yuan Songzi's guidance, Xiao Lan has embarked on the path of pursuing the Great Dao Emperor.

To become a Great Dao Emperor, one must not only comprehend the rules of the Great Dao, but also defeat opponents of the same or higher realms on the path of the Great Dao, constantly seizing fortune and strengthening oneself.

Every Great Dao Emperor ascends to the peak through victories in countless life-or-death battles, which is why Great Dao Emperors can sweep away all existences at every level of their realm.

Xiao Lan's aptitude in this life was not bad to begin with. In addition, she was constantly enveloped by Gu An's Dao intent, so she was very familiar with the rules of the Great Dao. Yuan Songzi, who could not see through all this, thought that Xiao Lan had a stronger understanding of the Great Dao than Emperor Tianhong and Zhao Rushen. Therefore, he changed his decision on the spot and decided to do his best to help Xiao Lan become the first Great Dao Emperor of the Dao Court.

As the Great Dao Emperor, Xiao Lan will inevitably intervene in the struggle between Zhao Rushen and Tianhong Emperor. However, because she is on the path of the Great Dao, she cannot affect the Tianling Great World for the time being, so the fate of the Tianling Great World has not changed.

"The way of obsession is the great way of thought."

Gu An muttered to himself, surprised.

He originally thought that Xiao Lan, who cultivated the Innate Reincarnation Technique, would embark on the Great Dao of Reincarnation, the Great Dao of Soul, or the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, since he often used the Great Dao of Cause and Effect to guide Xiao Lan's cultivation.

It seems that no matter which path one has taken before, once one wants to compete for the position of the Great Dao Emperor, the Great Dao will naturally guide one to the path most suitable for cultivators.

Gu An began to truly look forward to Xiao Lan's future. In the past, Xiao Lan had a smooth life, but it was all thanks to his support. Her future was all in his eyes. But now, Xiao Lan has unlimited possibilities, and even has the potential to surpass his control.

Gu An naturally hopes that the people around him will get better and better, and it would be even better if they could live out their own unique style.

Thinking this way, Gu An's mood became lighter and lighter, and the music he played became ethereal, just like the mountains and rivers in front of him, making people feel calm.

Gu An learned his piano skills from Shen Zhen. He didn't particularly want to, but over the long years, he would always try different things when he was bored.

The melodious sound of the zither echoed among the mountains. A gentle breeze blew, day and night changed, and the stars shifted.

Another five thousand years have passed.

In these five thousand years, besides Chen Chuan, An Shengtian and Lü Xian also left the Daoist temple to venture out into the world.

Chen Chuan founded the Sword Sect, which gained tremendous momentum.

An Shengtian went back to support the An family. Although he had severed ties with the An family, he selected a member of the An family to teach.

Lu Xian then traveled far and wide, challenging the unparalleled geniuses of various sects.

He would not use any Dao treasures as long as his opponents did not surpass his current realm. He relied on his true abilities to continuously defeat geniuses, and his reputation grew rapidly. Five thousand years later, he had become a top-tier genius in the world.

However, the most renowned figure in the world today is Zhao Rushen. He has mastered the Daoist court's supreme divine power, and his combat skills are unfathomable. That New Year, Emperor Tianhong was still kneeling in the forest at the edge of the Boundless Realm.

Gu An went to pick mature herbs early in the morning, and by evening he arrived at an island of the Juhua Sect.

Jiang Qiong had prepared food and wine in advance, waiting for his arrival.

Jiang Qiong is now a Free and Unfettered Immortal. Although she is not as powerful as the disciples of Wushi, she does not stay by Gu An's side all year round. With such cultivation, she is already the strongest in this sea area.

She is not only the strongest, but also a legend in the hearts of many Juhua Sect disciples, though whether that is true or not is unknown.

Although Jiang Qiong was not the sect leader, she still offered advice and even made important decisions for the Juhua Sect behind the scenes.

“Recently, Immortal Lü’s reputation has spread far and wide, reaching all seventy-two seas. Even the disciples of my sect are discussing what kind of sect Wushi is.”

Inside a small pavilion halfway up the mountain, Jiang Qiong poured wine for Gu An while smiling.

There is a waterfall nearby, with water crashing against the cliff edge, creating a mist that, combined with the lush greenery and trees, is very beautiful and has its own unique artistic conception.

Gu An laughed and said, "Wu Shi is not a sect, and I don't really care about them."

Jiang Qiong continued to serve food to Gu An, and asked curiously, "You've been in this world for 130,000 years. What are you pursuing, or rather, who are you hiding from?"

Like everyone else, Jiang Qiong felt that Gu An already possessed the power to overturn the world before he met her, and was just acting.

Little did she know, Gu An was actually younger than her.

Gu An didn't specifically clarify this point, because even if he told the truth, no one would believe him, and it might even create hidden dangers.

"My pursuit is for this kind of life to last forever, until I get tired of it," Gu An said earnestly, before downing his drink in one gulp.

"is it?"

Jiang Qiong looked at Gu An, as if trying to see through him.

Gu An raised his hand, took out a scroll, and handed it to Jiang Qiong, saying, "This is a set of formations I created. You can study it. If you can master it, it can ensure that Juhua Sect will be safe for a million years."

"so smart?"

Jiang Qiong was pleasantly surprised, as she had always been very interested in formations, as evidenced by her experience with the Eight Views Cave.

She began to examine the scroll directly with her divine sense, while Gu An continued to talk about the interesting things she had heard recently. At first, she was just going through the motions, but later she became completely attracted by the contents of the scroll.

Gu An simply shook his head and chuckled, not paying much attention.

He looked up at the sky, his gaze becoming profound.

Recently, a strange force has been approaching the Heavenly Spirit World, which may bring disaster.

Following this strange power, he deduced that many worlds had been corrupted by it, plunging them into chaos.

Being tainted by this power will make living beings violent and bloodthirsty.
