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

Chapter 902 The Pinnacle of Immortality
A gentle breeze rippled across the lake as Xiao Lan and An Xin listened to Gu An recount the future of the fiery red crows.

The Fiery Crow is one of the earliest creatures in the world. It is exceptionally talented and has great fortune, always encountering good luck. After transforming into human form, it named itself Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu traveled the world, constantly improving his cultivation. Later, when a powerful figure founded the demon race, he went there and fought his way out of countless demons, becoming one of the first seven emperors of the demon race. He became famous throughout the world and was even called the ancestor of all demons. After that, he was always a prominent figure in Zhongtian until he ascended to immortality, and only then did the mortal world begin to forget him.

Gu An briefly recounted his life experiences, and even though it was brief, it still sparked a lot of imagination in Xiao Lan and the other woman.

They looked at the fiery red crow pecking at spirit fruits in front of Gu An and could not reconcile it with the future giant of the demon race.

Anxin asked curiously, "Master, how high will its future achievements be?"

Gu An looked at the fiery red crow and said, "The pinnacle of the immortal path."

The pinnacle of immortality!

The two goddesses were shocked. They realized that Gu An was not referring to the pinnacle of immortality in the Heavenly Spirit Great World, but rather the pinnacle of immortality within the scope of the Heavenly Dao, a realm that they could not yet imagine.

"So you've already reached the pinnacle of immortality?" Xiao Lan asked curiously.

If Gu An can see the destiny of reaching the pinnacle of immortality, his cultivation level must also be that high.

Gu An smiled without saying a word. Since she had already guessed, there was no need for him to say more.

He has indeed reached the pinnacle of immortality, only higher than the peak.

He continued telling the story of the fiery red crow, and after the crow finished eating, it immediately came over and began rubbing its head against his knee.

Although the fiery red crow cannot speak human language, it is intelligent and can sense that the person has no ill intentions towards it.

Gu An reached out and stroked its head. It had to be said, its fur was very smooth and felt very comfortable to touch.

After chatting for an hour, Gu An saw that it was about time, raised his right hand, and tossed the Red Fire Crow into the air.

The bird circled in the air several times before flying away.

Xiao Lan sighed, "This little guy is so intelligent and good-looking. I see you like him quite a bit. Why don't you adopt him and raise him yourself? He'll definitely achieve even greater things in the future."

An Xin also looked at Gu An; she also had a very good impression of the fiery red crow.

Gu An stood up, stretched, and laughed, "The path to enlightenment is boundless, and there are countless people with exceptional talent. I can't possibly accept them all. Besides, different people have different life experiences, and thus become different people."

He raised his hand to put all the fishing rods into his sleeve, then slung the fish basket over his shoulder and walked along the lake.

Xiao Lan and An Xin quickly got up and followed behind him.

"Will it really not remember you in the future? Or remember what happened today?" Xiao Lan asked curiously.

"It has this past in its memory, but it doesn't know exactly where it is. It's like a childhood dream. As for me, its dream doesn't reflect me."

As Gu An moved forward, he answered, then paused before continuing, "In the future, such things will continue to happen. There will always be beings that approach Wushi, and you will encounter those with even greater talent than it. This is my test for Wushi's disciples. Concealing your cultivation level in the face of those exceptionally talented beings is not so easy."

His demand of his disciple was purely on a whim, and he used it as an excuse to send the disciple away.

He has too many disciples; ninety percent of them need to be cut.

Gu An's words made Xiao Lan fall into endless reverie: what would Zhongtian be like in the future?
……

Over the long years, the disciples of Wushi would travel to the mountain ranges on the outskirts of the world to observe the heavens and the earth, in their spare time from cultivation. Each time they emerged from seclusion, they could feel the tremendous changes taking place in the world outside their dojo, which made them realize what it meant to be ever-changing. Every year, powerful beings were born, causing extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth. This allowed all the disciples of Wushi to feel the profound power of Zhongtian. They no longer had any arrogance in their hearts, but only a sense of urgency to be surpassed.

As the number of living beings increased and the realm of immortals in the world became higher and higher, cause and effect inevitably arose. Living beings began to live together, especially those with the ability to reproduce, who realized the importance of unity earlier. This made the struggle in the central heavens even more intense.

While the native creatures fought, gods and powerful beings from beyond the heavens also descended.

They descended to the mortal realm of Zhongtian, preaching and spreading the Dao, forging good relationships for their respective powers, and promoting the development of Zhongtian.

The legend of Zhongtian spread throughout the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and more and more cultivators became aware of its existence. Zhongtian was a celestial realm located above the Three Thousand Great Worlds, a place that captivated people's hearts and minds.

The Heavenly Spirit World.

In early autumn of that year, on the edge of the Nine Spirits Continent, waves crashed against the shore. Two figures stood on the reef, gazing at the prosperous scene inside the continent, remaining silent for a long time.

It was Li Ya and his apprentice Li Xianyou.

The Nine Spirits Continent is no longer surrounded by spiritual mist and has begun to come into contact with the secular world. The Gate of Myriad Realms created by Gu An still exists and has even become an important bargaining chip for the Nine Spirits Dynasty to communicate with the outside world.

Li Xianyou turned to look at his master and broke the silence, saying, "Ancestor Wushi has been gone for tens of millions of years. No one knows where he went. After he left, Wushi quickly disbanded. Some were recruited by various sects, while others established their own sects and dynasties. In short, Wushi no longer exists in the world."

Li Ya remained expressionless, but felt a deep unease in his heart.

He came back specifically to show off his achievements to Gu An. Now he is famous throughout the Three Thousand Great Worlds. He has not only become a Primordial Golden Immortal, but has also found the way to a higher realm.

However, Gu An is no longer here.

He didn't know where to look for Gu An, and felt a deep sense of loss.

At this moment, he was even somewhat dazed, wondering if his memories of Gu An were all figments of his imagination.

What kind of powerful being would support him without asking for anything in return, and even be willing to be his junior brother?
The more Li Ya thought about it, the more heartbroken she felt.

Having survived the great calamity between immortals and demons, his Dao heart became even more steadfast. However, faced with Gu An's disappearance, he could no longer maintain his fortitude and strength.

Li Xianyou could tell that Li Ya was in a bad mood. He said resentfully, "Master, you are to blame for this. Uncle Gu invited you many times, but you always refused. He can't just leave and wait for you to come back. Besides, during the years you were away, the Heavenly Spirit Great World suffered suppression from the Heavenly Court's immortals and gods. Perhaps that was the reason why Uncle Gu left."

Upon hearing this, Li Ya looked up, his gaze deep, and murmured to himself, "The Heavenly Court..."

Li Xianyou's heart tightened, and he said, "Don't be foolish, you can't possibly be a match for the gods and immortals of Heaven."

Li Ya rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "You make it sound like your master is stupid."

That's right...

Li Xianyou muttered to himself.

Li Ya turned around and flew into the sky.

Li Xianyou quickly followed, asking curiously, "Master, where are you going next?"

"I'll go back to my homeland for a visit, and then head to Zhongtian. Legend has it that Zhongtian will become the center of the Heavenly Dao. I'm going there to pursue an immortal position. Once I enter the Heavenly Court, perhaps I can help Junior Brother Gu," Li Ya replied calmly.

He knew that the Heavenly Court was unshakeable, and the only feasible way was to join it and use his own power to change it.
