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

Chapter 796 The Emperor's Fortuitous Encounter
Faced with Gu An's questioning and gaze, Cixuan Old Immortal suppressed his unease and said, "Although the Ancestor does not participate in the struggle for the Son of Heaven, as long as Wushi stays in this Great Thousand World for a day, it will be difficult for him to escape the impact of the struggle for the Son of Heaven. If Taixian Shenyuan wins, the Three Thousand Great Worlds will be destroyed and recreated as the Three Thousand Great Worlds he desires."

“If His Highness Xuanyuan wins, he will not change the Three Thousand Great Worlds. All he wants is to defeat the provocation of Tai Xian Shen Yuan. He does not need the Three Thousand Great Worlds to become something else.”

When Cixuan the Immortal said these words, his eyes were fixed on Gu An.

Taiyi Immortal Lord had already heard his words, which was why Taiyi Immortal Lord accompanied him.

If Tai Xian Shen Yuan wins and becomes an enemy of Gu An, then if Gu An resists, he will face the entire Heavenly Court. Tai Yi Xian Jun will also have no choice but to become an enemy of Gu An. This is unacceptable to Tai Yi Xian Jun, after all, he has invested so much energy and effort over the years and does not want it to be in vain.

The rapid development of the Heavenly Spirit Great World owes much to the efforts of Immortal Lord Taiyi.

Taiyi Immortal Lord looked at Gu An, his eyes already conveying his attitude.

Facing the gaze of the old immortal Cixuan, Gu An replied, "I can leave with Wushi, I can even leave with the Heavenly Spirit Great World. Tai Xian Shen Yuan's ambition cannot threaten me."

Cixuan the Old Immortal continued, "You may be able to take the Heavenly Spirit Great World away, but all living beings are beings of the Heavenly Dao. Once the Heavenly Court strips them of their Heavenly Dao fortune, they will surely be reduced to ashes."

Gu An walked to the table and sat down. He didn't answer, but picked up the teapot and poured himself some tea.

Fresh tea is served at Guanshan Pavilion every day, prepared by the Ephemeral Flower Demon Mother. Even when Gu An is not at the temple, she will prepare it herself or send someone to do so.

Cixuan the Immortal looked at Gu An, awaiting his decision.

The sound of the waterfall cascading down echoed in the ears of the three.

Cixuan the Immortal gritted his teeth and said, "If the Patriarch can take action, Your Highness can grant any request. This is what Your Highness instructed me to do before."

Gu An sighed and said, "I have no need. I finally found a place to rest and recuperate in peace and quiet, and I really don't want to be disturbed."

Upon hearing this, the old immortal Cixuan was overjoyed.

If there is no complete rejection, then there is room for negotiation.

"If you do not wish to be involved in the Heavenly Court's karma, I will not report your name to the Heavenly Court after this battle. Moreover, you can rest assured that the struggle for the throne is based on individual methods. Tai Xian Shen Yuan has also sought out many powerful figures who do not belong to the Heavenly Court. As long as you are willing to help, His Highness will not let you bear any trouble and will even reward you. You do not wish to join the Heavenly Court, that is fine, but if your disciple wants to become an immortal, His Highness will definitely support him."

Cixuan the Immortal said this because he had observed that Wushi had many disciples, some of whom had even become immortals. He thought that saying this might move Gu An.

Gu An was weighing his options. In his eyes, Xuanyuan Renzun was destined to fail, and he did indeed have the strength to turn the tide.

He knew that what Cixuan the Immortal said was true, because he had already seen the scene of heavenly soldiers and generals descending upon the Heavenly Spirit World.

He had finally managed to repair his relationship with the Heavenly Court, but now there are setbacks. How could he sit idly by?

He had already made up his mind before agreeing to meet with the old immortal Cixuan.

However, he wanted to let Xuanyuan Renzun know how difficult it was for him to take action, so that Xuanyuan Renzun would treat Wushi's disciples, who had been appointed to the ranks of immortals, well in the future.

At Gu An's level, his own interests were no longer so important; he cared more about the people around him and the younger generation.

He never expects the people around him to be of much help or benefit to him. If they do, it means he is not strong enough and still needs the people around him to do things for him.

He cares about emotions and what he desires in his heart. Moreover, in his view, the existence of old friends allows him to always remember the path he came from.

Seeing Gu An fall silent, Cixuan Laoxian felt increasingly uncertain, unsure of what Gu An was still considering.

Taiyi Immortal Lord was secretly excited.

The fact that Gu An did not directly refuse the power of Tai Xian Shen Yuan already demonstrated his strength.

Taiyi Immortal Lord began to fantasize about the future. If Gu An helped Xuanyuan Renzun Qiankun, he would be able to establish a good relationship with Xuanyuan Renzun, which would definitely be a good thing for him.

He didn't participate before because he wasn't sure which emperor would win. If he could befriend the winning emperor, he wouldn't refuse.

Cixuan the Immortal gritted his teeth, took out a golden jade pendant from his sleeve, and said, "This is Your Highness's most important token. If you are willing to part with it, I will give it to you. This item was passed down from His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor. It can save you from the death penalty in Heaven and grant you the position of an immortal. This is a great opportunity that even emperors dream of."

When Gu An saw the jade pendant, his eyelids twitched. This item had not appeared in his premonition, which meant that it could truly represent the power of the Heavenly Emperor.

He instinctively wanted to tell Cixuan the Immortal to quickly take it back, lest it attract the Heavenly Emperor.

But then he thought again, since the Daoist temple can isolate cause and effect, why should he be afraid? He has been able to grow up peacefully to this day, and his lifespan evolution ability is trustworthy. A Hunyuan Tongxuan Venerable Immortal should definitely arouse the Heavenly Court's fear, yet he can still sleep soundly, which means that even the Heavenly Emperor cannot see through the cause and effect of the Daoist temple.

"With such a treasure, why would a Human Sovereign fear failure?" Gu An asked instead of reaching out to take it.

Cixuan the Immortal replied, "His Highness cares about victory and defeat, and about the interests of all the immortals and mortals who support him. Rather than facing annihilation, he does not want to disappoint all those who support him."

These words made Gu An think more highly of Xuanyuan Renzun.

Gu An said, "Since that's the case, then I will help him, but I will not reveal myself, and I hope that you and Ren Zun will not reveal my existence."

Upon hearing this, the old immortal Cixuan was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Gu An.

"May I ask, Ancestor, when will you make your move?" Cixuan the Immortal asked impatiently, placing the golden jade pendant on the table.

“Just go back and tell him. I will take action at the appropriate time. I will only help him resolve the battlefield of the Three Thousand Great Worlds. As for the battle between Tai Xian Shen Yuan and him, I will not interfere,” Gu An replied.

"That's natural; the struggle for the throne cannot be interfered with by a third party."

Cixuan the Immortal responded, bowed to Gu An again, and then left.

Taiyi Immortal Lord did not follow his steps because Gu An raised his hand to gesture for him to sit down.

After Cixuan the Immortal left, Taiyi Immortal Lord was alone with Gu An and couldn't help but feel uneasy. He was afraid that bringing Cixuan the Immortal would offend Gu An.

"Xuanyuan Renzun's promise can still be trusted. Actually, I don't want you to get involved either, but Taixian Shenyuan is more dangerous than Xuanyuan Renzun."

Taiyi Immortal Lord spoke carefully, observing Gu An's expression with great caution.
