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

Chapter 736 Extending Lifespan
Li Ya and his disciple only stayed at the Wushi Dao Temple for a month. During this month, Gu An and Li Ya traveled around and occasionally discussed Dao, as if they had returned to their youth.

Li Ya came to visit Gu An to thank him, but he couldn't bring himself to say the word "thank you" until he was about to leave.

Gu An was in a good mood after spending a month playing with Li Ya. After Li Ya left, he gave a sermon to all his disciples, which made the Wushi disciples understand Li Ya's position in Gu An's heart.

The peaceful days continued. After reaching the perfection of the Profound Qi Primordial Immortal Realm, Gu An felt that even having a lifespan of tens of billions of years would not be enough for his next breakthrough. Therefore, he began to increase his lifespan income.

Now that the Daoist temple covers the entire Nine Spirits Continent, expanding the quantity of medicinal herbs is a piece of cake. With the help of the Ephemeral Flower Ghost Mother, Gu An is extremely worry-free and can simply enjoy the fruits of his labor.

A thousand years later, his annual life expectancy income increased to 200 million years.

Another million years have passed.

Similar yet different struggles are unfolding within the Heavenly Spirit World, but overall, the world is relatively peaceful, and the conflicts between sects do not affect the common people.

Compared to the tranquility of the Heavenly Spirit World, the Three Thousand Great Worlds have witnessed the complete arrival of immortals and gods.

In each great world, several immortals and gods descend, summoning wind and rain to bring peace and harmony to all living beings. People begin to believe in these immortals and gods, making the heavenly fortune that surrounds the great world increasingly abundant.

The immortals and gods under the command of the two emperors began to operate. They not only won over the rulers of heaven and earth, but also guided the common people to believe in them. At the same time, they portrayed the opposing emperors and immortals as evil beings, and depicted the future war between the emperors as a catastrophe in the three thousand great worlds, a war between good and evil.

Gu An stayed in the Heavenly Spirit World, watching the actions of those immortals and gods, and felt that the Heavenly Court was nothing special.

The Heavenly Court is merely powerful enough; its order and actions are unworthy of the name of immortals and gods.

However, the gap between immortals and mortals is vast. Mortals cannot see the actions of immortals and gods. A single word from an immortal or god can become an ancient myth that has been passed down for thousands, tens of thousands, or even longer. Mortals find it difficult to guess that these myths are all conspiracies. Generations of beliefs have divided the three thousand great worlds in two, causing them to be hostile to each other.

At the Wushi Daocheng, it was just past noon.

Two figures descended from the sky, landing on two adjacent mountain peaks; they were none other than the Blood Prison Great Sage and Sin.

Gu An and An Xin stood in the mountain stream, looking up at them. The two had just flown out of the barrier created by Gu An, and the outcome of the battle was already decided.

Sin was no match for the Great Sage of Blood Prison, but he managed to injure him, which the Great Sage of Blood Prison found incredible.

"You kid..."

The Great Sage of Blood Prison stared wide-eyed at the sin on the opposite mountain, his emotions hard to calm down.

Although he is still a young boy, he already has the demeanor of the Eternal Emperor, with an upright and proud spirit, a smug smile on his face, and high spirits.

"Great Sage of Blood Prison, the gap between us has narrowed again!"

Sin spoke, his voice loud and clear, echoing between heaven and earth.

The Great Sage of Blood Prison said irritably, "You brat, if you want to defeat me, you still need to cultivate more. I wasn't serious just now."

"Really? I don't believe it. I sense you're getting impatient."

"Hmph, that's my fighting style!"

The two started arguing, neither willing to give in.

Beside the mountain stream, Gu An and An Xin watched them bicker, both with smiles on their faces.

"Junior Brother's talent is truly terrifying. He seems to be stronger than Tianhao and Emperor Tianhong. Master, what is his background?"

Anxin asked curiously, "Zui has always been taught by Gu An, so everyone else thinks it's reasonable for Zui to cultivate so fast. But she's different; she was also taught by Gu An and knows the incredible nature of Zui."

This kid's cultivation is not only increasing, but he has also begun to form a Great Dao within his body. This Great Dao is constantly growing stronger. An Xin also felt a kind of cause and effect that made her shudder. Even with the Immortal Emperor's Eye, she could not see through it.

"He comes from the Heavenly Tomb of Despair, a place beyond the Great Dao..."

Gu An briefly explained the origin of the crime. He valued An Xin highly, and since An Xin wanted to know, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

Anxin is his successor. One day, Anxin will become the Lord of Nothingness, and he can roam freely throughout the heavens. Upon hearing this, Anxin's expression did not change much, but she inwardly lamented how pitiful Zui's past was.

Although her master did not clarify what the crime was, she did not press for details.

Sin may look young, but having spent so long in the Desolate Tomb, the loneliness he endured is beyond their comprehension.

Since sin has lived for so long, its current growth rate is understandable. Perhaps sin has been accumulating over the long years, and now it is finally unleashing its full potential.

The conversation between the master and disciple was not overheard by the Blood Prison Great Sage and Sin. After the two flew down, Gu An and An Xin stopped talking.

“Master, tell me, was he in a hurry just now?” Zui came up to Gu An and asked with a frown.

Gu An patted his head and smiled, "Victory is victory, and defeat is defeat. Why care how much effort the opponent used? Just work hard to cultivate, and one day you will be able to win."

After hearing this, Zui thought it made sense, chuckled, and stopped dwelling on the issue.

Blood Prison Great Sage was unhappy; he didn't want to lose.

But these were Gu An's words, and he dared not refute them, so he could only remain silent and depressed.

"Zui'er, you are now a Free Immortal, and your cultivation is sufficient to stand on your own. Would you like to go out and gain some experience?" Gu An looked at Zui and asked with a smile.

Anxin felt that her master truly doted on Zui, even more so than on her.

This kid's background is definitely not that simple.

No matter how Anxin looked at it, she felt that Zui's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to her master's.

Despite this speculation, she dared not voice it. Zui had been suppressed in the Heavenly Tomb of Despair for so many years. Even if he was truly her master's son, it meant that her master had encountered something terrible in the past, and he couldn't even protect his own son.

Gu An found it amusing to hear An Xin's thoughts.

You guessed it right.

"Yes, can I?" Zui nodded excitedly.

Gu An looked at the Blood Prison Great Sage and said, "Take him out to train for a thousand years. Do not stop him from doing anything. Just follow him and let him experience and judge for himself."

"I?"

Blood Prison Great Sage stared wide-eyed, clearly unwilling.

Seeing that he was unwilling, Zui immediately said, "Master, it's him!"

Blood Prison Great Sage gritted his teeth; this brat was getting on his nerves more and more.

"You go ahead."

Gu An shook his head and smiled, then turned and left.

Anxin looked at the Blood Prison Great Sage and said meaningfully, "This is not only a test for Junior Brother, but perhaps also a test for you."

test?

Upon hearing this, the Great Sage of Blood Prison was immediately excited. He loved his master's test, for there would surely be benefits after completing it.

He was very satisfied with his previous experience on the Path of the Great Dao. He not only made many friends and brothers, but he also became the first Hunyuan Dao Emperor in the Wushi Dao Temple besides the master.

Anxin turned around and followed Gu An's steps.

After the two figures disappeared into the woods, the Blood Prison Great Sage looked at Sin and said with a half-smile, "You brat, although I won't take care of you when you get to the mortal world, I will tell my master everything you've done."
