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

Chapter 782 Creation of the Azure Lotus
Xuanyuan Renzun and Cixuan Laoxian discovered that the Nine Spirits Continent had its own order and was not entirely under the control of the Wushi Ancestor. Every living being here could cultivate and had the freedom to go out and experience.

The myriad realms gate contained a fortune that even the two immortals could not fathom.

They were confused, not understanding the intention of the Founding Master Wushi in establishing this temple.

If it were for the purpose of cultivating power, why would they let people leave?

If it's for the sake of merit, why isn't there any accumulation of good fortune?

If you're going to live in seclusion here, why take in so many living beings?
They were both amazed by the wonders of the Wushi Temple and curious about the thoughts and intentions of the Wushi Patriarch, which made them even more eager for their upcoming meeting.

Anxin flew at a moderate pace, seemingly deliberately giving them time to observe the Nine Spirits Continent.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they finally entered the Beginningless Realm.

Upon arriving at Wushi, Xuanyuan Renzun and Cixuan Laoxian felt that the Dao intent here was much stronger than outside. They sensed the fortune of the Great Dao Emperor and the fortune of the newly emerging Hunyuan Dao Emperor on the Great Dao Path.

Under An Xin's guidance, they flew to a mountainside where a small pavilion sat on a cliff. Inside the pavilion sat a man in white with his back to them; it was Gu An.

Upon seeing Gu An from afar, both Xuanyuan Renzun and Cixuan Laoxian were secretly alarmed.

They couldn't detect Gu An with their divine sense; they could only see him once he entered their field of vision.

This shows that there is a huge difference in their cultivation levels!

Anxin stopped, gestured for them to enter the pavilion, and then turned and left.

Xuanyuan Renzun and Cixuan Laoxian were not intimidated and quickly entered the pavilion.

"I am a Celestial Lord of the Heavenly Court, the Old Immortal Cixuan. This is the Heavenly Emperor, the Venerable Xuanyuan. We have come to visit the Ancestor Wushi today. May we disturb the Ancestor?" The Old Immortal Cixuan raised his hand in greeting and said with a smile, giving people a very amiable feeling.

Gu An turned to look at them, smiled and nodded, gesturing for them to sit down.

Seeing Gu An's youthful and handsome face, the two immortals were not surprised. In the Heavenly Court, there are immortals who retain a handsome appearance, and some even look like children. Of course, most immortals feel that an aged appearance shows the temperament of time.

Seeing Gu An's expression and attitude, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least from the first impression, Gu An is not an unapproachable person.

The two immortals sat down, and Gu An picked up the wine pot, intending to pour them wine, but the old immortal Cixuan quickly took it from him, saying he would pour it for them.

Gu An smiled and did not refuse.

Gods and immortals may be arrogant, but they should consider who they are facing.

His experiences along the way were enough to make the two immortals and gods dare not put on airs in front of him.

While Cixuan the Elder was pouring wine, Xuanyuan Renzun said, "I have come here to make friends with the Ancestor and to see what the Ancestor thinks about the struggle for the throne."

He was very direct; after he finished speaking, his gaze was fixed on Gu An.

Gu An smiled and said, "The struggle for the throne is none of my business. I don't want to interfere. I just want to stay in this vast world and cultivate my Dao in peace. I also hope that this cause and effect will not involve this world."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Renzun frowned.

Cixuan the Immortal put down his wine pot and said, "Ancestor, this contest for the throne is different from the past. It involves a great destiny. The victor will receive the Creation Lotus. If our prince wins, he is willing to share it with his followers." Creation Lotus!

Although Gu An had never heard of it, the moment the name was mentioned, he immediately glimpsed a great deal of cause and effect.

The Creation Lotus is a great creation from chaos, containing unimaginable power. Obtaining the Creation Lotus can grant one the opportunity to transcend, and contemplating the Creation Lotus can also help one to comprehend the Dao.

These causes and effects converged to form a strong attraction, making even this Primordial Profound Immortal desire the Creation Green Lotus.

No wonder the struggle for the throne attracted so many immortals and gods to participate. Even when the Dark Heavenly Court attacked, the Heavenly Court did not intervene to stop it. It turns out that it involved such a great cause and effect.

Gu An asked, "May I ask where the Creation Lotus came from?"

Cixuan the Immortal replied, "It was bestowed by a supreme being of the Heavenly Dao. The reason it is conducted in the form of a struggle for the throne is also for other purposes. The Ancestor should understand."

I don't know!

Gu An was already able to glimpse the cause and effect of the Heavenly Court, but he could not see through all the causes and effects of the Heavenly Court. He could not see through the root cause and effect of the struggle for the throne.

Cixuan the Immortal's answer made it difficult for him to press further.

Gu An shook his head and said, "Thank you both for your kindness. The Creation Lotus is indeed attractive, but I am a person who hates trouble, which is why I live in seclusion here."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Renzun was about to speak when Cixuan Laoxian spoke first, saying, "Since that's the case, then we really can't force it. I wonder what the Ancestor thinks of His Highness Taixian Shenyuan?"

As long as Gu An doesn't help Tai Xian Shen Yuan, it's a good thing for them.

There's no need to push Gu An too far, since they don't have the means to force him to obey.

"Emperors are as numerous as stars in the sky; I had never paid attention to them before." Gu An's answer disappointed Cixuan Laoxian, but he still followed Gu An's words and began to introduce Taixian Shenyuan's background and experience.

Tai Xian Shen Yuan was a child born during the Heavenly Emperor's reincarnation. His mother came from the Spirit Clan. The Spirit Clan is different from other living beings. They are born from the mindless beings of heaven and earth, such as clouds, aurora, and green smoke. These beings can only develop intelligence when they encounter the Great Dao. Therefore, once born, their understanding of the Great Dao is far superior to that of other races.

After the Heavenly Emperor ended his cycle of reincarnation, he brought Tai Xian Shen Yuan back to the Heavenly Court and appointed him as the Son of Heaven.

Before entering the Heavenly Court, Tai Xian Shen Yuan was already 100,000 years old and had experienced many hardships. The Heavenly Emperor seemed to feel indebted to him, so he favored him and allowed him to grow rapidly into a Son of Heaven who could rival Xuanyuan Ren Zun.

Unlike Tai Xian Shen Yuan, Xuan Yuan Ren Zun was born in the Heavenly Court. His mother was the ruler of a realm, and his birth was illustrious. However, in order to please the Heavenly Emperor, he reincarnated in the mortal world. The title of Ren Zun refers to his achievements. In each reincarnation, he would unify the human race and lead the human races of all realms to prosperity. He had failed and succeeded. After countless reincarnations, he finally achieved the name Xuan Yuan Ren Zun.

This time, the struggle for the throne was a challenge from Tai Xian Shen Yuan to Xuan Yuan Ren Zun, which offended Xuan Yuan Ren Zun, and his subordinate immortals and gods were also indignant.

"Tai Xian Shen Yuan has no merit whatsoever. Relying on His Majesty's favoritism, he launched the struggle for the throne, thinking he could gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao Supreme. But he was too naive," said Ci Xuan Lao Xian earnestly.

These words pleased Xuanyuan Renzun, and he slightly raised his chin.

Gu An suddenly asked, "Since Tai Xian Shen Yuan is favored by the Heavenly Emperor, how are you so confident in accepting this challenge? Even if you win, will he really lose?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Renzun's expression turned ugly.

Cixuan the Immortal also looked somewhat uneasy. He continued, "His Majesty is currently in seclusion. This may be an opportunity to bring Taixian Shenyuan down to the mortal realm. Such an opportunity has appeared before, and Emperor Xuanqing was abandoned by His Majesty for the same reason."
