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

Chapter 689 The Unfathomable Ancestor

The Beginningless Dojo, at dusk.

Gu An was carving a wooden statue in the courtyard, Shen Zhen was cultivating in front of the refining cauldron, and An Zizai was deep in thought on the courtyard wall. As the afterglow of dusk fell, the whole courtyard exuded a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

Sudden.

Gu An raised an eyebrow slightly. He sensed that the Blood Prison Saint and Fang Xuan had been captured, and the cause and effect suddenly became blurred.

Heaven!

Only the Heavenly Court presents such an ambiguous view of cause and effect.

Fortunately, the Blood Prison Great Sage and the other two possessed the fortune of the Primordial Dao Emperor, which allowed him to track their movements.

Gu An began to investigate along the path of the Primordial Dao Emperor, and he saw the predicament of the Blood Prison Great Saint and the other two.

Huh?
Gu An suddenly thought of the Divine Court in the Taiwei Great World.

The Divine Court is also helping immortals and gods capture living beings and throw them into a furnace. Now, the Blood Prison Great Sage and his companion are also experiencing this.

Are these immortals and gods preparing for the struggle for the Heavenly Emperor?

Gu An stood up and stretched.

He looked at An Zizai and suddenly had an idea.

In any case, An Zizai is the eldest disciple of the third generation of Wushi disciples, and he must have the ability and insight to stand on his own in the future.

An Zizai is severely lacking in knowledge and even regards the Immortal of Freedom as the highest realm of cultivation.

"Zizai, Grandmaster, I'm planning to go out for a trip, which might involve battles. Would you like to come along and take a look?"

Gu An spoke up, and as soon as he said this, An Zizai immediately turned to look at him, her face showing interest.

Not only him, but even Shen Zhen looked at Gu An with curiosity in her eyes.

"Grandmaster, I'm afraid I'll be a burden to you..."

An Zizai wanted to go, but when he thought about his previous experiences of going out to train, he became a little timid.

Gu An smiled and said, "It's alright, you don't need to do anything. Such an opportunity is rare, think it over carefully."

Upon hearing this, An Zizai remained silent, while Shen Zhen spoke up, "Your grandmaster wants to take you to broaden your horizons. You are Wushi's first third-generation disciple, and you will definitely have many junior brothers and sisters in the future. With your current state, do you think you are qualified to be the eldest disciple?"

Her words were very impolite and her tone was somewhat sarcastic, but they did not anger An Zizai.

An Zizai took a deep breath, feeling that Shen Zhen's words made sense. He looked at Shen Zhen gratefully, and then said to Gu An, "Grandmaster, I am willing to go with you!"

Gu An immediately waved his sleeve, and An Zizai felt a strong wind rush towards him, causing him to subconsciously close his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, An Zizai was unable to open his eyes, only feeling himself falling, and his consciousness could not reach out, which made him instinctively nervous.

After a while, An Zizai felt his feet touch the ground. He subconsciously opened his eyes and saw Gu An's back.

Seeing his master right in front of him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't speak, but looked up to observe his surroundings. He found himself in a dark world, the sky was pitch black, like a starless night sky, the earth was barren, with piles of scorched earth, and sparks and smoke floating in the air. He gradually felt the heat.

"What is this place?"

An Zizai was filled with confusion, and he could only look at his grandmaster.

Gu An said, "We are inside a large cauldron, where thousands of beings who have surpassed the ninth level of the Immortal Path are suffering."

Beyond the Nine Heavens of Immortality?
Thousands?
An Zizai's eyes widened, his mouth involuntarily agape, his worldview undergoing a severe shock. In his understanding, the ninth level of the Immortal Path was already the highest realm. He couldn't imagine how powerful those who surpassed the ninth level of the Immortal Path would be, yet there were thousands of such powerful beings suppressed there.

"Above the Realm of Freedom and Immortality is the Realm of Dao Fruit, which is divided into the Realm of Freedom and Immortality of Dao Treasure, the Realm of Freedom and Immortality of Profound Origin, and the Realm of Freedom and Immortality of Luo Tian. Above that is the Realm of Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, which is divided into the Realm of Innate Golden Immortal, the Realm of Balanced Heaven Golden Immortal, and the Realm of Supreme Purity

Gu An gazed into the distance and softly introduced the scene, which made An Zizai even more shocked.

Are there so many realms above the Free Immortal?

What level of cultivation did the Grandmaster attain?
His intuition told him that his grandmaster was very likely a Taiqing Golden Immortal!
Otherwise, how would they know so much?
An Zizai asked nervously, "Grandmaster, who is the enemy, and where are they?"

Gu An did not hide anything and said, "The owner of this cauldron is a celestial being from the Heavenly Court. The reason we came here is because my mount was captured and brought here."

"Is it Master Xueyu?" An Zizai's eyes lit up as he pressed for an answer.

Although Blood Prison Great Sage was a mount, he was equivalent to a disciple within the Wushi Sect, and An Zizai had heard of his name since childhood.

Among the disciples of Wushi, the Great Sage of Blood Prison was second only to his master, possessing immense abilities.

"Well, it's him."

Gu Anying replied that he had already sensed the auras of the Blood Prison Great Sage and Fang Xuan. The two wanted to escape from this cauldron, but no matter how they used their supernatural powers, they could not escape.

The other trapped people inside the cauldron had long given up hope; they could only meditate as much as possible to resist the raging flames inside.

"Shall we go save him now?" An Zizai asked excitedly.

His excitement stemmed from two reasons: first, his first encounter with the Blood Prison Great Sage; and second, his contact with immortals and gods, and a realm beyond the Free Immortal. He felt the same kind of exhilaration he had when he first left the Nine Spirits Continent for training.

"Not urgent."

Gu An turned and walked away, and An Zizai quickly followed.

He looked around nervously, unsure of where the enemy was.

"This place is so vast, is it really a cauldron?"

An Zizai was secretly alarmed. He couldn't imagine how powerful the celestial deity who controlled such a large cauldron was, or what kind of figure he had.
As An Zizai continued forward, he saw skeletons, some human, some demonic, a horrifying sight. Some of the skeletons were so grotesque that it made one's scalp crawl, and one could imagine the despair they had endured.

"Grandmaster, how did you bring me in?" An Zizai turned his gaze back to Gu An and asked cautiously.

Even the most precious treasures of immortals and gods could be invaded at will. An Zizai truly felt the unfathomable power of his grandmaster, which made him even more eager for the upcoming battle.

“I stepped right in,” Gu An replied casually.

His understated manner only fueled An Zizai's admiration for him.

"Grandmaster, can you fight against immortals and gods?"

"This is a good place to test their mettle."

"Where is this place? Where is this great cauldron located? Is it still within our realm?"

"This is the Path of the Great Dao, which is extremely far from the Heavenly Spirit Great World. It is so far that with your current cultivation level, it is impossible for you to come here in this lifetime."

Gu An's answer made An Zizai's eyes widen again. He silently memorized the name, thinking that he would definitely come here again if he had the chance in the future.

"Grandmaster, if a battle breaks out later, can you use the Myriad Paths Peerless Palm to fight?" An Zizai asked expectantly, his eyes darting around.

Gu An nodded slightly. He didn't turn around, but this gesture already excited An Zizai.

Having cultivated the Myriad Paths Peerless Palm for so many years, he had never truly witnessed the power of this ultimate technique.
