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

Chapter 652 White-haired Immortal Ancestor
"What are you looking at?"

Gu An smiled and asked Shen Zhen. He could hear Shen Zhen's guess, but he didn't point it out.

Even when facing Shen Zhen, Gu An would not reveal his true strength.

Shen Zhen snapped out of his daze and asked, "Emperor Tianhong has already left. Do you really think he can save the world?"

In recent years, the world has become increasingly chaotic, and she can also sense an inexplicable and eerie force manipulating all living beings in the dark.

Such power must extend beyond the heavens.

This is not a cause and effect that even the Heavenly Emperor of the Dao Void Profound Immortal Realm can end, even if the Heavenly Emperor holds a Dao Treasure.

Gu An came to her side and moved a chair from a short distance away. As he sat down, he said, "Don't underestimate his potential. He has talent comparable to Tian Hao. Do you think he's an ordinary person?"

"Could he also have a divine or immortal background?"

"Maybe."

Hearing Gu An's words, Shen Zhen could conclude that Emperor Tianhong had an inseparable relationship with the immortals and gods.

Tsk tsk.

Immortals and gods are ethereal and elusive, impossible to encounter, yet they seem unremarkable when they are by Gu An's side.

Shen Zhen looked at Gu An beside her, her eyes filled with a strange light.

She was very curious: what kind of role did Gu An play in the eyes of the gods and immortals?
Shen Zhen asked with a smile, "With so many immortals and gods appearing before you, surely the Heavenly Court isn't targeting you? If one day the Heavenly Court were to recruit you into the ranks of immortals, what would you choose?"

"That depends on what kind of celestial position it is," Gu An replied casually.

Shen Zhen's eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she asked, "What if I hired you to raise horses?"

She came into contact with Gu An because she liked his books, and she still reads books like Investiture of the Gods, Journey to the West, and Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable to this day.

Gu An rolled his eyes at Shen Zhen and said irritably, "You're really funny. If that's the case, then I'll go raise horses and take you with me. You can be my assistant."

"Great! The horse in the sky must be something special."

Shen Zhen said excitedly, which made Gu An shake his head and laugh.

The two planned for a while about going to the Heavenly Court to raise horses before they started talking about world affairs.

Shen Zhen was very curious about the mysterious power that was wreaking havoc on the world. Gu An did not hide anything from her and told her about his discovery, hoping to increase her understanding of the Great Dao.

Speaking of which, besides Anxin, Gu An also put a lot of effort into cultivating Shen Zhen. It wasn't that he was biased, but rather that the others hadn't reached the stage of enlightenment yet and were still in the early stages of closed-door cultivation.

Shen Zhen's current achievements are also due to the karma he gained from the Eternal Emperor.

Of course, this doesn't mean she was lucky. After all, she relied solely on Gu An, unlike Tian Yao'er who depended on Gu An for survival. She abandoned other relationships and chose Gu An, which is why the Eternal Emperor chose her.

Everything has a cause and effect; behind every coincidence lies an inevitability.

In this year, a change occurred in the human world, because a former number one genius of all time was reborn.

Emperor Tianhong did not return to the Dao Court, but instead traveled around the world, suppressing evil forces in various places.

The Dao Court, as the ruler of all under heaven, is also working hard to suppress injustices. Many outstanding talents have stepped forward to save the world, among whom the most famous is Zhao Rushen, the current chief disciple of the Dao Court.

In those chaotic and dark years, Emperor Tianhong and Zhao Rushen emerged like two stars, wanting to illuminate the world with their faint light.

……

A hundred years later.

Early that morning, Gu An left alone after picking herbs at the Wushi Dojo.

He was walking in the woods outside the dojo when his figure suddenly disappeared.

He continued to move forward, but the universe beneath his feet was changing, and each step he took would cross a new cosmic plane.

Time flies, light travels backward, his steps seem fast, but because there is no end, they seem slow.

Sudden.

Black energy swirled around Gu An, quickly obscuring his body. His right foot landed, and he suddenly found himself in a dim void.

He stopped and looked closely. In front of him was an endless expanse of Dao Mountain, each one extremely majestic. The even higher Dao Mountain in the distance stood like gods, exuding a powerful and oppressive aura.

Endless Dao Mountain! As soon as Gu An appeared, he felt the power of the rules here surging towards him, as if trying to cloak him in a cloak that isolated him from the deduction of cause and effect, but he did not hide his true form.

He maintained his formless form, because he was also wary of such rules.

Once enveloped by the power of the rules, he felt that his actions were no longer restricted; it was a very magical rule.

He strode forward, admiring the mountains along the way.

Before arriving, he had suppressed his cultivation to the level of a Grand Luo Immortal. Not only that, he also made his aura weak, so that at first glance, he looked like a very cautious but inadvertently revealed a trace of the aura of a Grand Luo Immortal.

He came to Wujindao Mountain not to cultivate, but to gather intelligence, make friends with the cultivators here, and gain a deeper understanding of the Great Dao.

It would be even better if we could learn more about the Heavenly Court here.

He wandered aimlessly, and he discovered that most cultivators enjoyed a Dao Mountain all to themselves, since there were simply too many Dao Mountains here.

These practitioners also seemed to be wary of each other.

This is troublesome.

Gu An began to miss Bai Ziya of the Human Realm Peak. When he first went to the outer heavens, he met the enthusiastic Bai Ziya, who even pulled him into the Human Realm Peak.

Although Renjian Peak did not greatly help his cultivation, it did help him better understand the world. This is why he has never severed his karmic ties with Renjian Peak; he likes to remember these bonds.

He continued to wander, waiting for an opportunity.

During this time, he also saw other figures entering the Endless Path Mountain. Most of them had their own goals and flew very fast.

Gu An spotted a figure who seemed just as lost as he was, moving slowly and glancing around every now and then.

He hesitated for a moment, then flew over cautiously, as if to be careful.

The other party was also a Great Immortal of the Open Heaven Realm. Perhaps it was because he had a certain amount of confidence that he dared to wander around like this. Gu An had previously seen a Golden Immortal of the Supreme Purity hide in the Dao Mountain as soon as he entered.

This celestial being, who was somewhat thin, resembled a Taoist priest. He held a whisk that looked like a sword in his hand. When he saw Gu An flying over, he stopped and turned to look at Gu An.

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask if this is the Boundless Dao Mountain?" Gu An asked, his voice changing slightly.

"Yes, this is indeed the Endless Dao Mountain. Is this your first time here too?" the other person replied, their tone slightly indifferent.

“That’s right. I’ve heard that the Endless Dao Mountain contains boundless profound truths of the Great Dao. My cultivation has reached a bottleneck, so I wanted to come and give it a try. The aura of the Great Dao here is indeed rich, even exceeding my expectations. However, this place is different from what I imagined…”

In the end, Gu An pretended to hesitate.

"You didn't expect there to be so many people here, did you?" the other person asked in response.

"Yes."

Gu An's tone carried a hint of amazement.

The other party sighed, "The cultivators who come here are all great figures from all walks of life, which only shows how vast the Great Dao is, which is beyond our imagination. Although I have some understanding of the Boundless Dao Mountain, I am just as shocked as you are when I first arrived."

"My name is Hong Yazi, and I come from the Misty Immortal Court. May I ask your name and which sect you belong to?"

A mystical fairyland?

Gu An was surprised that the first Grand Immortal he encountered came from the Misty Immortal Court. He continued, "My name is Meng Lang. When I first became a Golden Immortal, my sect was destroyed. I have been wandering around and do not belong to any sect for the time being."

After hearing this, Hong Yazi said, "With your cultivation level, founding a sect is not a difficult task."

Gu An shook his head and said, "Forget it. Having a sect brings burdens. I prefer to pursue the Great Dao freely."

“That makes sense,” Hong Yazi replied, then fell silent as if he had thought of something.

Gu An pondered how to advance the relationship.

“Fellow Daoist Meng, since you are also new here, you probably don’t know where to go next. Why don’t you come with me to listen to a True Immortal preach?” Hong Yazi invited.

Gu An was flattered and hesitated before asking, "Should I go with you? Is that appropriate?"

Hong Yazi replied, "Don't worry, I have no connection with that immortal. His teachings are not private; anyone can listen to them."

"May I ask what the name of that immortal is?"

"He was revered as the White-haired Immortal Ancestor, a highly respected immortal in the Heavenly Court."
