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

Chapter 849 The Cataclysmic Calamity of Wushi

Wu Xie's joining Wu Shi did not cause any trouble within Wu Shi, and An Zizai and Hai Yuan only kept an eye on him in secret.

A century later, An Zizai finally summoned Wu Xie.

As he grew up, Wu Xie became handsome and refined. Like most of Wu Shi's disciples, he had the air of a celestial being. He still wore black clothes, but his robes became more exquisite, and a jade hairpin was inserted into his hair ornament, giving him an extraordinary demeanor.

An Zizai met him on a cliff. He came up behind An Zizai, bowed and raised his hand in greeting.

"Wu Xie greets Grandmaster!"

Wu Xie's tone was neither humble nor arrogant; if you listened carefully, you could hear a sense of pride in his voice.

Since joining Wushi, he had been cultivating and had not seen An Zizai again. However, he could not forget the embarrassment he felt when he met An Zizai back then. On the way here, he was curious as to why his master had summoned him.

He couldn't understand it, but he wasn't flustered because he was already a disciple of Wushi. His master and his master's master both thought highly of him. Even if the third-generation senior disciple wanted to make things difficult for him, he would have to have a reason.

With his back to Wuxie and his gaze fixed on the distant mountains and forests, An Zizai said, "Your talent is outstanding, and your comprehension is even more rare, perhaps only seen once in millions of years. I will make an exception and teach you a supernatural power. What kind of supernatural power do you want to learn?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "I want to learn the Peerless Palm of Ten Thousand Paths!"

The Peerless Palm of Myriad Paths defeated the Heavenly Emperor and became famous throughout the world. When he was young, Wu Xie heard his clansmen talk about it, saying that if he could become a disciple of Wu Shi, he would definitely learn the Peerless Palm of Myriad Paths.

"The Peerless Palm of Myriad Paths can only be cultivated by the eldest disciple of Wushi. The so-called eldest disciple is not the eldest disciple of each generation, but the eldest disciple who holds great power."

As An Zizai spoke, he turned to look at Wu Xie.

He stared at Wu Xie with a scrutinizing gaze and asked, "Do you think you can become the eldest disciple?"

"I will work hard! Since I'm going to cultivate immortality, I must have great ambitions. I don't want to spend my whole life in seclusion!"

When Wu Xie said these words, his eyes were bright and he met An Zizai's gaze without fear, full of vigor, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.

An Zizai had to admit that he liked Wu Xie's sharpness, because it was something that other disciples didn't have; he had only seen it in the number one genius in the world.

The thought of Wuxie using Wushi's supernatural powers to wreak havoc on the human world made him feel uneasy.

“Grandmaster, I am not qualified to cultivate the Myriad Paths Peerless Palm for the time being. Why don’t you decide what to do? I will learn whatever you teach me. I will not be picky. Grandmaster is omnipotent. I feel that only by learning all the supernatural powers and Taoist methods can I reach the level of Grandmaster.”

Wu Xie said excitedly, his hands clenched into fists as he mentioned the patriarch.

An Zizai nodded and said, "Then let's start by learning the art of escape. Penetrating the essence of all things means seeing through all things, which will help you comprehend the universe and all things."

"Thank you, Master!"

Wu Xie bowed again.

And so, Wu Xie began to cultivate under An Zizai's guidance. This news spread within Wu Shi. The current Wu Shi disciples have been passed down for twenty-six generations. Although Wu Xie was accepted as a disciple by a fourteenth-generation disciple, which is considered a high generation, it is rare for him to receive special treatment from An Zizai.

Everyone can feel a new star rising, and Wuxie may become the representative of Wushi.

Since then, Wu Xie has been visited by many disciples, which has made him increasingly arrogant.

Ten thousand years pass in the blink of an eye.

Wu Xie has become Wu Shi's genius disciple, and his fame has even spread beyond the Nine Spirits Continent.

On this day, Su Han visited Gu An in the bamboo forest and talked about Wu Xie.

“This Wuxie is quite extraordinary. He has only been cultivating for ten thousand years and he is already a True Immortal of Divine Sense. The most crucial thing is his comprehension. He can learn any supernatural power or spell after seeing it only once. It’s simply outrageous.” Su Han stood in front of Gu An, spread his hands and said, his tone helpless.

He once thought he was more talented, but after arriving in Wushi, he discovered that geniuses were everywhere, and there were always people whose talents amazed him. Wuxie's sudden emergence made him realize that the foundation of the Nine Spirits Continent was not on the same level as that of the Heavenly Spirit Great World.

Gu An, who was reading a book, casually said, "That's just because the supernatural abilities he came into contact with were too low-level. There are always some supernatural abilities that he can't learn just by reading them once."

“I know, but to have such comprehension of most Daoist techniques is already quite extraordinary. I heard that the senior brother personally taught him. Grandmaster, is there any arrangement of yours in this?” Su Han asked curiously.

He had a good relationship with An Zizai and knew An Zizai's personality. Since An Zizai's disciple grew up, he stopped taking on disciples and would not teach other disciples to cultivate. Wu Xie was an exception.

Everyone could sense that An Zizai had high hopes for Wu Xie, and Su Han thought so too.

"I'm very busy, I don't have time to pay attention to these things."

Gu An answered casually, then turned to a new page.

Seeing his actions, Su Han had a lot to say, but he held back.

Is Gu An busy?

Su Han used to think that way, but after spending more time with his master, he really felt that his master was the most idle person.

But it is precisely because he is so idle that it is impossible for people to figure out what he is thinking.

"Su Han, if Wu Shi were to face annihilation and I were unable to intervene, what would you do?" Gu An suddenly asked, his gaze never leaving the pages of his book.

Su Han was stunned when he heard this. He didn't think his grandmaster would ask a meaningless question.

In that instant, he thought of many possibilities, and his mood sank to the bottom.

"I am a disciple of Wushi, and I will protect Wushi, even if it means my own destruction!" Su Han said firmly.

This is indeed what he thinks.

Gu Aneng heard him assume that he had already imagined many terrible and desperate situations.

Some of the ideas even made Gu An want to laugh.

Gu An glanced at him and smiled, "You don't need to be nervous. There won't be a situation where I can't make a move; it's just a matter of whether I want to or not."

Hearing this, Su Han breathed a sigh of relief, but then became wary again.

If Wushi is facing annihilation, would the Grandmaster be unwilling to intervene?

Other disciples wouldn't have thought of this, but his grandfather came from the Tai Xuan Sect, and he knew a lot about his master's past with the Tai Xuan Sect. He knew that his master had supported the Tai Xuan Sect and also abandoned it.

Could it be that one day, the Grandmaster will abandon Wushi?
Gu An listened to his inner thoughts and thought he was really daring to guess.

In fact, Gu An had no intention of giving up on Wushi, after all, it was founded by him personally. However, if Wushi encountered a problem that his disciples could solve, he would not personally intervene.

Recently, he has gained some insight into the beginningless truth and has more thoughts about it.

Since Wushi has already made it big, why not make it even bigger?

He wasn't trying to compete for anything; he just wanted to see if his own sect, Wushi, was any different from the various sects in the heavens.

"Ten million years from now, lead a group of disciples from the Beginningless Era to the Path of the Great Dao for training. This will also be your opportunity to hone your skills," Gu An said softly.

Upon hearing this, Su Han's eyes lit up immediately; he had long wanted to venture onto the Path of the Great Dao!
