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

Chapter 737 The Path of the Immortal Official
The Great Sage of Blood Prison and Sin departed a thousand years ago and traveled among mortals. Time passed very slowly there, but for the disciples in the dojo, it seemed as if only a day had passed.

Sin's travels through the human world broadened his knowledge; he encountered all sorts of things, saved people, was deceived, killed people, and even became entangled with major religious sects.

However, all the grudges disappeared after he returned to Wushi, because no one could force their way into Wushi.

This experience helped him grow a lot, and he began to think about what kind of person he wanted to become.

Blood Prison Great Sage followed Sin, saying he wouldn't interfere, but faced with the siege of the major sects, he couldn't bear it and stepped forward, which eased his relationship with Sin.

The two of them quieted down, but another fearless person emerged from the third-generation disciples. Gu An didn't find it annoying; instead, he found it interesting.

Anyway, he won't teach the third or fourth generation disciples; watching them fight is a unique kind of fun.

Thirty thousand years later.

The Heavenly Spirit World has welcomed an uninvited guest.

Deep within the universe, before the gates of the cosmos, the Celestial God awaits the arrival of those who come.

The gate emitted a dazzling light, as bright as the sun, and a figure slowly emerged from the intense light within.

Sensing the other party's aura of destiny, the Heavenly Spirit God raised his hand in greeting and said, "The Heavenly Spirit God greets the Immortal Lord. May I ask why the Immortal Lord has come?"

"I am the Yin Xuan Immortal Lord, who came for the great cause of Emperor Xuanyuan, and also to seek immortal opportunities for all living beings in this world."

A voice rang out from the bright light, its tone indifferent yet revealing an undisguised arrogance.

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black emerged from the bright light. He was tall and imposing, with two purple pythons wrapped around his waist. The pythons' heads snaked around his back and stretched high above his head, like two colorful ribbons fluttering behind his head.

Upon hearing Yin Xuan Immortal Lord's words, Tian Ling God remained unfazed and said, "The Tian Ling Great World has no intention of interfering in the struggle for the throne."

In the past, he would have hesitated, but now that Gu An is backing him up, and Gu An's disciple is even among the immortals, what is there for him to fear?

He had confidence both inside and outside the Heavenly Court.

Yin Xuan Immortal Lord's gaze fell on Tian Ling God, his eyes seemingly trying to see through him.

The Heavenly Spirit God met his gaze without fear. As the intense light within the gate dissipated, the Yin Xuan Immortal Lord was gradually enveloped in darkness, making him look less like an immortal god and more like an evil god.

"May I ask whose domain this is?" Yin Xuan Immortal Lord asked.

He wasn't angry at being rejected by the Heavenly Spirit God; he understood the meaning the Heavenly Spirit God was conveying.

This guy has powerful backers!
Tianling Shen frowned, not expecting the other party to press for details.

Just then, a figure appeared behind Tianling Shen, and the immortal light emanating from it shone into Tianling Shen's peripheral vision, causing him to subconsciously turn his head to look.

"Who is it? It turns out to be Immortal Lord Taiyi."

Yin Xuan Immortal Lord's voice rang out. He looked at Taiyi Immortal Lord behind Tianling God and a smile appeared on his face.

He wasn't afraid that the Heavenly Spirit World had powerful backers; he was afraid that the Heavenly Spirit World's powerful backers would support an enemy emperor.

Taiyi Immortal Lord spoke up: "Yinxuan Immortal Lord, the Heavenly Spirit Great World was once ordered to be destroyed and has been removed from the list of the Three Thousand Great Worlds. Although it will be restored in the future, it has not yet been removed, so it is not included in the Emperor's War."

Yin Xuan Immortal Lord laughed and said, "Since you've said so, I certainly have to give you face."

Taiyi Immortal Lord nodded slightly.

The Heavenly Spirit God silently stepped aside, not blocking the view of the two Immortal Lords.

Yin Xuan Immortal Lord and Taiyi Immortal Lord clearly knew each other, but the atmosphere between them was somewhat subtle, making Tianlingshen sense the tension.

"What? Does Immortal Lord Yinxuan have any further instructions? Or does the Human Venerable have any other orders?" Immortal Lord Taiyi asked. As he spoke, he took a step forward, his aura exploding, causing Tianling's expression to change.

Yin Xuan Immortal Lord laughed and said, "It's nothing. I was just curious. It is said that an emperor was born in this great world. I don't know if it's true or not."

"If it's true, you want to investigate the Emperor?" Taiyi Immortal Lord pressed, his attitude arrogant and domineering.

"How dare I? Never mind, I admit I offended you."

Yin Xuan Immortal Lord shook his head and chuckled, then turned and walked towards the boundary gate.

His Heavenly Dao fortune stirred the Dao intent within the boundary gate, and a burst of Heavenly Dao light erupted from within the gate, illuminating the universe once again.

Taiyi Immortal Lord and Tianling God watched him walk into the boundary gate, and only after his aura disappeared did the two look at each other.

The Heavenly Spirit God hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Taiyi Immortal Lord's expression calmed down, and he said, "If we don't act forcefully, he will definitely come again. Only by showing no fear of the emperor will the emperor behind him have any concerns. After all, right now, that emperor's opponent is another emperor, and we can't afford to cause any unnecessary trouble."

The Heavenly Spirit God found this reasonable and did not ask any further questions.

Taiyi Immortal Lord turned and left, leaving behind the words: "More immortals and gods will descend to the mortal realm next, so be prepared."

Before he could finish speaking, Taiyi Immortal Lord vanished.

The Heavenly Spirit God wasn't worried; instead, he thought this fellow was even more adept at handling things than him. No wonder he could become a Celestial Lord.

"Even the path of celestial officials requires talent."

The Heavenly Spirit God sighed inwardly, then shook his head and turned to walk towards his meditation spot.

Gu An, who was far away at the Wushi Dao Temple, was very satisfied with Taiyi Immortal Lord's attitude. He knew how to act without being told what to do.

Clean, efficient, and smart.

Gu An didn't care about the Xuanyuan Human Venerable behind Yin Xuan Immortal Lord; he was just a Miaozhen Daluo Immortal.

"Grandmaster, what do you think of my sword intent?"

Standing in front of Gu An, Shangguan Xian'er asked, holding a wooden sword in her hand, the blade swirling with sword intent.

Gu An was sitting on the steps carving a wooden statue when he casually replied, "Not bad."

“Grandmaster, can you please pay a little more attention? No matter what I show you, you always say it’s not bad, but I can never rank in the top three among the third generation of disciples.”

Shangguan Xian'er pouted, her tone both dissatisfied and aggrieved.

Gu An liked her spirit. The other third-generation disciples were all too respectful to him, even reserved, but only Shangguan Xian'er dared to show some emotion in front of him.

Shangguan Xian'er is very smart and knows how to behave. She has rehearsed every word she says in her mind.

Gu An could hear her thoughts and didn't think she was hypocritical or pretentious. As long as she didn't harm anyone, what was wrong with using clever methods to get closer to her?
"Why don't you go out and gain some experience like Zui'er?" Gu An looked up at her and asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xian'er immediately shook her head and said, "I'm not going out. I have no enemies or family members outside, so what would I do there?"

Once you go out, is it so easy to come back?
Shangguan Xian'er thought to herself, not everyone is a sinful, blood-stained saint. Moreover, there are too many karmic causes in the mortal world, and she was afraid of getting trapped in them. Rather than forming bad karma outside, she would rather not go out and focus on cultivating the Tao.

Her goal was to become a powerful being like her grandmaster, not to get married and start a family, and she didn't want to form unnecessary relationships or karmic connections.
