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

Chapter 814 Where is the Sword Master?
Enveloped by Gu An's Dao intent, Su Ling's new memories of the Heaven-Severing Divine Axe flooded his mind. He had another dream, a long one. In the dream, he continuously cultivated the Heaven-Severing Divine Axe. The process was long and tedious, but he had no time to think about anything else.

After he finished this long period of cultivation and regained his senses, he opened his eyes and what he saw was no longer that illusion, nor was Gu An there.

He returned to the Heaven-Mending Platform, where he was surrounded by powerful cultivators from the Tai Xuan Sect, including his master.

Upon seeing Su Ling open his eyes, the surrounding cultivators all spoke up to inquire.

"Disciple, how are you?"

"Has it been passed down?"

"What did you realize just now? What did you see?"

"Have you seen Sword Master Fudao? Tell me quickly, I'm dying to know!"

The powerful cultivators asked questions all at once, and Su Ling seemed somewhat dazed, which made them even more anxious.

Su Ling came to his senses, took a deep breath, and said, "I have obtained a legacy called the Heaven-Severing Divine Axe. It was taught to me by a man in white. He looked... very young and handsome. He just pointed at me, and I learned the Heaven-Severing Divine Axe."

These words immediately caused an uproar at the Heaven-Mending Platform.

An elderly elder exclaimed excitedly, "Young and handsome, isn't that the legendary Sword Master Fudao? Legend has it that he is immortal and kind!"

The other great cultivators echoed his sentiments, showing even more excitement than Su Ling.

Looking at the ecstatic expressions of the people around him, Su Ling felt dazed. Even his usually stern master was staring intently at him.

At this moment, he finally realized just how lofty the status of the Sword Master Fudao was.

He recalled Gu An's face, his heart filled with boundless curiosity.

Was that person really the Sword Master Fudao?
How high is his cultivation level?
Where are they now?

……

Inside the Wushi Dojo, Gu An, who was fishing, was in a good mood. Passing on the inheritance of the Heaven-Severing Axe was enough to fulfill his wish.

There were no trials or blessings involved. His choice of Su Ling was inevitable because he could see all of Su Ling's future and was certain that Su Ling was the one who could bring prosperity to the Tai Xuan Sect and the world. Moreover, Su Ling was righteous and would guide other cultivators to uphold justice.

Right now, Gu An is also considering something else.

That is to reincarnate his deceased disciples into Su Ling's descendants, hoping that they can be guided onto the right path under Su Ling's guidance.

This was also to satisfy another disciple's obsession.

Gu An looked at the lake and saw the scene from more than 40 million years ago when he was cultivating with his disciples Tang Yu, Su Han, Zhen Qin, Yan Mei, Yang Min, Ye Yan, and others.

Time has passed, and most of the disciples from that time have gone on to reincarnation.

Gu An didn't want to pursue the thoughts of each disciple, and he actually felt some regret about Su Han.

Su Han did indeed go astray, but his life was too miserable, and at that time, Gu An was not able to fully support him.

Even if the disciples of Wushi are burdened with deep-seated hatred, they are not being hunted down by a dynasty, nor are they going out alone to seek immortality.

Of course, most importantly, Zhen Qin still misses him.

Although Zhen Qin did not enter the Wushi Cultivation, with Gu An's explicit and implicit help, she has now grown up and can stand on her own. She is the founding patriarch of a sect and holds a prominent position.

Although she had already achieved great success, her personality had become closed off. Gu An was giving Su Han a chance, which was also a way of helping her.

For Gu An now, this was no troublesome matter; he even found it interesting to help his beloved disciple.

This is the change in mindset after becoming powerful. In the past, he would hesitate and look back, but now nothing in the Heavenly Spirit World can affect him.

Not just the Heavenly Spirit Great World, but across the Three Thousand Great Worlds, he can handle anything that happens; whether he does it or not depends entirely on his own will. Fewer and fewer things can bind Gu An, and he's enjoying the process.

In the darkness, that inexplicable and elusive realm of Daoist mind seemed to be guiding him.

He was already sure.

The so-called attainment of sainthood requires transcending that realm of Dao heart.

Now, even if he were to face the Heavenly Emperor, he would have the confidence to deal with him, so he is not in a hurry and can enjoy life while comprehending the so-called realm of a sage.

Learn it slowly, and if that doesn't work, then just give it your all!

Over the years, Gu An has sacrificed his life for anything he couldn't achieve in his cultivation. This doesn't mean his efforts were meaningless; those experiences and insights are objectively real.

Just as Gu An was reminiscing about the past, a figure walked over from the side; it was Zhuang Xian.

Years have passed, and Zhuang Xian has become more composed and exudes an extraordinary aura.

He came up behind Gu An, bowed respectfully, and said, "Ancestor, I have mastered the Supreme Dao Primordial Chaos Plate. Would you like to test it?"

Gu An casually replied, "I don't need to look to know your skill level. You have indeed mastered it, but you are still a long way from achieving mastery."

Zhuang Xian sighed, “The Supreme Dao Primordial Chaos Plate is indeed unfathomable and infinitely powerful. I will focus on it from now on and will not cultivate anything else except my main cultivation method.”

Gu An remained silent.

Zhuang Xian's eyes darted around, and he said, "Grandmaster, I want to go out and train again because I have received your true teachings. Grandmaster An has higher expectations for me, believing that I am different from other disciples. The unique skills I have mastered now may bring disaster to the world. Whether I can go out and train depends on your approval."

Gu An still did not respond, which made Zhuang Xian uneasy. He dared not say anything more and could only stand behind Gu An and wait quietly.

Even if his application was rejected, he accepted it.

for a long time.

Gu An said slowly, "This world is not as simple as you think. The higher your cultivation level, the greater the tribulations you will face."

Zhuang Xian quickly replied, "I know, but I care more about how much I can do than about my personal achievements."

"In that case, let's go."

"Thank you, Ancestor. I will never bring shame to Wushi, nor will I cause any trouble for Wushi or you."

Zhuang Xian said excitedly, but Gu An just smiled and didn't reply.

Every so often, Wushi's disciples would go out to train, but the only one he could personally oversee was Zhuang Xian.

Zhuang Xian and Su Ling are both rare good people in Gu An's eyes. Zhuang Xian is upright and incorruptible and hates evil as if it were his enemy. Su Ling is also kind-hearted, but she is gentle and carefree. Although they both walk the right path, the paths they take are different. Gu An is very much looking forward to seeing which path their lives will take.

Afterwards, Zhuang Xian took his leave.

Gu An continued fishing until dusk before he got up to pack up his line.

As the sun set, it cast a long shadow of him.

While he was living a leisurely life, another of his disciples faced a fateful calamity.

That disciple was none other than Tianhao, the reincarnation of Anhao.

Tianhao cultivated in the Misty Immortal Court, and his cultivation level was already high enough to stand on his own. He began to venture into the Great Dao Domain, traveling within the Heavenly Dao realm outside the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

On this day, he encountered a grand scheme targeting him and the Heavenly Court!
