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

Chapter 725 Surpassing the Gods
"Of course you can, you don't need to think too much about it, but there's one thing I have to tell you: once you enter the Beginningless Realm, it's not so easy to get out. If you want to attain enlightenment, you have to endure a long and tedious period of time."

Gu An smiled at Li Xuanyu, saying that if Li Xuanyu did not want to join Wushi, he would not force her.

After listening, Li Xuanyu nodded and said, "I understand. Following you will surely grant me power that surpasses all living beings. If I am not restrained, it may become a calamity for all living beings. Freedom and power are mutually exclusive."

Is this the correct understanding?
It's not impossible.

The reason Gu An restricted his disciples was simply because they were too weak. Going out too early would easily cause trouble that he couldn't handle, and he didn't want to keep cleaning up other people's messes.

"You've come to invite me personally, how can I refuse? Could you give me some time to settle things with my disciples?" Li Xuanyu said softly, looking at Gu An.

No one around them could hear their conversation, and no one even looked at them.

This wasn't the first time Li Xuanyu had encountered such a situation, but each time she noticed it, she was shocked and incredulous.

Gu An had no objection. The two exchanged a few more pleasantries and then passed each other by.

at the same time.

On the other side of the world, in a mountain forest, there sits a wooden house where Li Xianyou, now grown up, is carving a wooden sword with a knife.

He was dressed in white, with a black sash draped over his right shoulder, and his hair was tied back with a straw rope. His angular face exuded confidence and spirit.

Bang!

The door of the wooden house was pushed open, and an old man in a green robe walked out. His face was quite ugly. When he passed Li Xianyou, he didn't even glance at Li Xianyou. He turned into a white light and disappeared into the horizon beyond the mountains and forests.

Li Xianyou didn't pay much attention and continued carving the wooden sword in his hand.

Li Ya, dressed in black, walked out of the house. Sunlight shone on him, and he stretched. He sighed, "Disciple, why are there so many ambitious people in this world? The Dao Court is a cautionary tale. How difficult it is to unify the world."

Li Xianyou, with his back to Li Ya, replied, "The Dao Court wasn't a failure. After all, it dominated for so many years, and it disbanded itself. The major sects in the world were probably created by Dao Court cultivators who changed their names. Even if the Dao Court is gone, there are still the Xuan Court and the Immortal Court. They can continue to enjoy the resources of the world anyway."

Li Ya glared at Li Xianyou and said irritably, "You brat, do you want your master to serve these sects and become their lackey?"

“No, that’s not it. Even if you wanted to join a cultivation sect, you should join Wushi and follow your uncle.” Li Xianyou said without turning his head.

Ever since he witnessed Uncle Gu's abilities, he had wanted to become Wu Shi's disciple, but unfortunately, Li Ya just wouldn't go.

He understood his master's thoughts. Men are always competitive. If his master was a generation higher than him, he wouldn't be like this. But the two of them were fellow disciples.

Li Ya snorted, "Wu Shi is certainly a good place. Do you think I don't know that? You have no idea what your master is thinking."

"Yes, I don't understand. I just know that without me by your side, you might get seriously injured again one day."

"Nonsense, that was an accident last time."

"Hehe, just consider it an accident. Anyway, without your disciple carrying you, you've already been reincarnated."

Li Xianyou's words infuriated Li Ya; this kid was becoming increasingly disrespectful to him.

Li Ya secretly regretted that he shouldn't have acted impulsively. He hadn't figured out the other party's background before making a move. It wasn't that he was afraid, but he felt bad about losing face in front of his disciple.

"Stop carving your wooden sword. Come on, I'll take you to the Sword Sect. Didn't you want a divine sword? I'll grant your wish!"

Li Ya put his hands on his hips and said smugly.

Upon hearing this, Li Xianyou immediately stood up and looked at Li Ya with delight. Li Ya enjoyed his gaze; this was the attitude a disciple should have.

"The Sword Sect is now renowned throughout the land, and Chen Chuan of the Sword Sect is the number one swordsman in the world. According to what you said, Master, he can be considered my senior brother. Could you ask him to give me some pointers?" Li Xianyou flashed in front of Li Ya and asked expectantly.

Li Ya's eyes widened, and he roared, "His swordsmanship is no match for mine? Are you trying to betray me?"

"How could that be? I just want to combine the strengths of all schools of swordsmanship to create my own," Li Xianyou said earnestly.

He genuinely felt that Li Ya was no match for Chen Chuan.

Since entering the Free Immortal Realm, Chen Chuan has never been defeated. To be precise, he has never been defeated since he became famous, unlike his master, whom he had personally witnessed being defeated.

The thought of his master covered in blood and on the verge of death made him feel distressed.

Li Ya was once an invincible figure in his mind; Uncle Gu was not an exception, and he would never be a match for his master.

His master's defeat made him feel like his beliefs had collapsed.

Of course, he wouldn't reveal these thoughts, for fear of provoking Li Ya.

He still respected Li Ya because Li Ya was the most chivalrous person he had ever met. Li Ya had saved many people suffering like him without asking for anything in return.

The last time Li Ya was injured was because he couldn't stand seeing the strong bullying the weak.

"Perfect timing. This time, the Sword Sect is holding the World's Number One Sword Tournament. I will challenge him and show you who is stronger," Li Ya snorted, his eyes revealing a strong fighting spirit.

Chen Chuan's reputation is so great that wherever he goes, he hears sword cultivators mention his name, which makes him very curious.

He can't even beat Gu An, let alone Gu An's disciple?
The world is vast, and there are countless great talents. As a teacher, he should give his junior apprentice a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Li Xianyou opened his mouth as if to refuse, but ultimately swallowed his words.

Forget it.

Anyway, with Uncle Gu's influence, Chen Chuan shouldn't hurt Master.

……

Above the sea of ​​clouds, figures clad in silver armor and radiating the powerful light of the Heavenly Dao stood like towering peaks, most of them with expressions of excitement on their faces.

Zhang Bukui and Xu You were also among them, feeling their own destiny and fortune, and their emotions were difficult to calm down for a long time.

"Is this the power of immortals and gods? It's truly powerful..."

Zhang Buku looked at his hands and said softly.

Xu You glanced at him and said, "This is nothing. We have only just begun to receive the Heavenly Court's fortune. Our cultivation will grow rapidly until we reach the Luo Tian Zi Zai Immortal Realm. If you seize the opportunity and enter the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit Realm, you will become a true god. Heavenly soldiers are not yet qualified to call themselves gods."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Bukui looked up at the sky. There was a golden cloud in the sky, boundless and endless. Above the cloud, the Heavenly God looked down at them, as if a sovereign was looking down at his creation.

Looking at the Heavenly Suppressor God, Zhang Bukui thought of the crushing defeat he had experienced on the path of the Great Dao.

So-called gods are nothing more than this.

His goal is to surpass the gods!
