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

Chapter 861 Li Ya's Luck

Gu An led An Xin through the mountains and forests. An Xin followed behind, asking no questions, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Sudden.

Anxin's surroundings suddenly changed, and she found herself in a vast and desolate world. She and her master walked on a cliff, with wisps of clouds hanging in the sky and red glow shining on the horizon. The earth was covered with undulating mountains, majestic and magnificent, with huge skeletons scattered all over the mountains and fields.

This wasn't the first time she had experienced her master's agile footwork, but each time she was still amazed.

She couldn't see through it at all, and couldn't sense any signs, which made her sigh at the gap between herself and her master.

Even with the Celestial Emperor's Eyes, she couldn't see through her master's supernatural powers.

“Next, let us transform into nameless cultivators and eradicate the evil forces in this world. I grant you permission to use the Immortal Emperor's Eye,” Gu An said as he walked ahead.

Upon hearing this, Anxin's eyes lit up.

She could only use her Immortal Emperor Eye when sparring with Wushi's disciples, but those sparring sessions were always brief and to the point, so she had never experienced the limits of the Immortal Emperor Eye.

"Master, where is this?" An Xin quickened her pace and came to Gu An's side, asking softly.

Her gaze drifted into the distance, where she saw enormous stars suspended at the edge of the world, seemingly about to collide with it at any moment, creating a powerful visual impact.

"This is a vast world ravaged by immortals and gods. I came here yesterday, but I have not yet cleansed this world of evil."

Gu An replied, and then he made a few requests: they were not allowed to use Dao treasures with peace of mind, and it would be best to use only the Immortal Emperor's Eye to deal with the enemy.

Although I was constrained, my fighting spirit was actually boosted by the peace of mind I felt.

Is he fighting solely based on the Immortal Emperor's Eye?

She couldn't wait just thinking about it.

And so, Gu An continued to plunder lifespans with An Xin. He left the battle to An Xin, and only when An Xin was about to kill the enemy did he secretly make his move and personally finish off the enemy.

His magical power was so well concealed that even the Celestial Emperor's Eyes, which was at ease, could not detect it, and he even thought that he had really killed the evil spirit.

It wasn't until dusk that Gu An brought An Xin back to Wushi.

The next morning, he took Anxin to wander around the Wushi Dao Temple and pick ripe herbs.

Even after hundreds of millions of years, Master still maintains this habit, which fills Anxin with admiration.

As her cultivation level increased, she found it too troublesome to even manage her disciples, let alone plant and harvest herbs. She delegated all the responsibilities to her disciples, feeling that the gap between her and her master was not only in cultivation level but also in mindset.

This unwavering commitment to the Dao is what she should truly pursue.

After picking the herbs, Gu An leisurely led An Xin to that vast world.

The following days were basically like this: they would go out to slay demons and monsters during the day and return in the evening. Many disciples of Wushi saw them, and although there were many guesses, no one could guess what they were doing.

……

On a moonlit night, the stars are few and the moon is bright, with shooting stars occasionally streaking across the sky.

On the hillside, Li Ya sat in front of the fire, roasting a huge pig leg. A dozen or so boys and girls squatted beside him, all drooling as they watched the roasting pig leg. They dared not utter a sound, for fear of disturbing this beautiful scene.

Li Ya found their expressions amusing.

He coughed lightly and said, "Hurry up and cultivate. Don't waste time. What will you do if I encounter demons tomorrow and die at their hands?"

Upon hearing this, the boys and girls dispersed and began meditating, though their gazes kept drifting towards the roasted pig's leg. They were incredibly hungry and hadn't smelled such a delicious aroma of meat in a long time.

Li Ya also felt a pang of sorrow.

He felt incredibly lucky to be born in the peaceful Tianling Great World. Even when faced with a cataclysmic disaster, his junior brother Gu could turn the tide. Looking at the children in this world, both parents were dead, and they lived a life of wandering and fear. Even if he intervened to save them, he could only protect them for a while, not forever.

He couldn't protect these children forever, because he had to save many more lives.

He fixed his gaze on the fire, and in the firelight, he saw his own face.

"Li Ya, Li Ya, you have traveled through the heavens, experienced countless hardships, and also enjoyed a carefree life, but what is it that you truly seek? At least Junior Brother Gu has always protected the world he inhabits, while you wander around aimlessly, what is it that you really want?"

Li Ya asked himself this question, a question he had been pondering frequently lately.

Watching the gods and immortals bring devastating suffering to the world, and being unable to stop it or even tell the suffering beings the truth, he felt that he had too many things to think about and worry about. Like a headless fly, he was trying to save the suffering people, but he couldn't change the situation. There would always be people suffering. Even if he continued to do this, he would have no influence compared to the vast Heavenly Dao.

Li Ya was lost in thought, his mind wandering as he looked back on his past life.

The more he thought about it, the colder he felt.

for a long time.

A timid voice came from behind: "Senior... the meat is burnt..."

Li Ya came to his senses and looked closely. The pig leg was indeed burnt. He immediately drew his sword and began to cut the roasted meat for the children.

The children took the roasted meat and, ignoring its scalding heat, started eating it right away, causing gasps of astonishment to rise and fall.

Li Ya found it amusing, and for some reason, he suddenly wanted to establish a sect and lead these helpless children to save more people.

His strength is limited on his own, but what if more people help him?

These children will carry the burden of hatred for the rest of their lives, and without his guidance, they might have gone down a path of no return.

wrong!

Why does it have to be a religious sect?
Li Ya thought of the Great Dao Emperor and the Primordial Dao Emperor of the Great Dao Path.

What kind of power would all the Great Dao Emperors possess if they united?
Perhaps it is not necessarily weaker than the Heavenly Court!
He can take on disciples, but he will not establish sectarian rules; he wants to gather like-minded people.

If that's the case, then what are his principles of living and cultivating in this world?
Li Ya fell into deep thought once again.

Little did he know, two people were watching him from the top of a distant mountain; they were Gu An and An Xin.

An Xin opened her Immortal Emperor Eyes and peered into Li Ya's fortune. She could clearly see that Li Ya's fortune was changing, which surprised her.

"Master, what kind of opportunity did Uncle-Master Li Ya obtain?" An Xin couldn't help but ask.

Gu An looked at Li Ya from afar and smiled, "There was no special opportunity, but his state of mind has broken through. He will embark on a completely new path. In the darkness, cause and effect will be sensed and will affect his fortune."

Anxin's Celestial Emperor Eyes can see things that even innate Golden Immortals find difficult to capture, such as the fortune on Li Ya's body. This fortune is not acquired fortune, which can increase with one's cultivation and power. It is innate original fortune, which is difficult to capture and represents a person's limit, or destiny.

An Xin seemed to understand after hearing Gu An's words and fell into thought.

Gu An looked at Li Ya, also contemplating his own path.

The path to sainthood is not fixed; everyone should have their own path to sainthood.
