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

Chapter 905 Gu An and Hong Yi

Gu An stared calmly at the small lake in front of him without blinking. After the eggshell broke, a graceful figure appeared on the lake's surface.

This is a woman who looks about sixteen or seventeen years old. She has long hair that reaches her calves, fair skin, and delicate features that are perfectly matched, but her expression is indifferent.

Her feet sank into the lake, and she slowly turned around, looking at Gu An with no change in her expression.

Gu An nodded slightly. The first batch of beings in Zhongtian were able to take human form right after birth, and their aptitude far surpassed that of the first batch of beings in Zhongtian.

The human form is the most suitable body shape for cultivating the Tao, containing the true meaning of the Great Tao of the universe. This is why the human race has a short lifespan, because they have already possessed the body shape for cultivating the Tao that all things dream of.

Several epochs later, when the demon race rises, immortals and gods will descend to earth to create the human race, thereby restraining the demon race and at the same time using the demon race to help the human race rise rapidly.

The original human race was created by the Heavenly Emperor, which established the human race's status and destined it to become the most important race in the Heavenly Dao.

Of course, besides the Heavenly Dao, there are many worlds in the Chaos where the human race exists. The birth of the human race itself is the enlightenment that cultivators have when pursuing the Great Dao. Inevitably, if one wants to create, the initial creation must be based on oneself, creating a race that looks similar to oneself.

Gu An raised his hand and waved, and a gust of wind rushed towards the newly born Taiqing Golden Immortal, who had no time to react.

Her eyes glazed over briefly, but once they returned to normal, she asked, "Who are you?"

Upon hearing this, she was stunned and subconsciously reached out to touch her mouth.

Her voice was beautiful and ethereal, but there was no change in emotion yet.

Gu An smiled and said, "Who I am is not important. What's important is who you think you are. Have you thought about your name yet?"

He just bestowed some memories upon her, helping her establish a linguistic system of memories related to the Heavenly Way.

After transforming, she can speak human language, but having never interacted with anyone, she has not yet developed a sense of perception.

Upon hearing this, the long-haired woman frowned, lost in thought. Gu An did not disturb her, and waited quietly for her.

After a long while, the long-haired woman spoke up: "My name is Hongyi."

Hongyi?

Gu An immediately saw the deeper cause and effect behind her.

It turns out that her great destiny came from that place.

Gu An asked, "Would you like to cultivate with me?"

Hongyi already understood what cultivation was, but she didn't have the urge to cultivate for the time being. However, she was very curious about Gu An, so she subconsciously nodded in agreement.

Gu An turned around, and Hongyi hesitated for a moment before following him.

As he walked, Gu An raised his hand, and pieces of crystal flew up from the grass. These were transformed from Hongyi's symbiotic eggshell. Under his control, these crystals quickly gathered together and then ignited with blue flames.

This sight finally brought a spark to Hongyi's eyes, and she stared intently at the blue flames in mid-air.

Soon, the ball of blue flame flew towards her. She didn't dodge it, but stared at it curiously.

The blue flames landed on her, enveloping her body from the head down. She looked down and felt warm and comfortable all over.

As the blue flames dissipated, a white robe appeared on Hongyi's body. The robe was bright white, with silver crystals inlaid at the waist and wrists. The hem of the robe was very long, like the hem of a skirt. Although she did not have boots, wearing this outfit completely changed her temperament.

As Hongyi moved forward, she felt the robes on her body and felt very uncomfortable, so she wanted to take them off.

"Don't take it off. This is also a form of cultivation. You have to get used to it." Gu An's voice came from ahead. Hearing this, Hongyi stopped what she was doing. She looked at Gu An's back with a puzzled look in her eyes, but she didn't ask any questions.

For some reason, she subconsciously chose to obey Gu An.

Half an hour later.

Gu An led Hongyi to a vast mountain. When they stopped, the view looked like a grassland.

He turned around to face Hongyi, then lifted his robe and sat down, gesturing for Hongyi to sit down as well.

Hongyi sat down in his posture, but after sitting down, she couldn't help but squirm.

"Before you begin your cultivation, let me first help you understand what kind of world you live in," Gu An said. As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Yi froze, her eyes widening as a multitude of images flashed through her pupils, overwhelming her.

Gu An looked at Hong Yi, his expression calm, but he felt a sense of anticipation.

He is already destined for sainthood; if he were to teach him, what heights would he reach in the future?
Gu An wasn't afraid of Hong Yi surpassing him. It was quite wonderful to have someone chasing after him. Not only him, but the Heavenly Emperor also had the same idea.

The wind blew across the mountains and plains, making Gu An and Hong Yi appear tiny. From the clouds, they were inconspicuous in the vast green ocean.

……

Since deciding to teach Hongyi, Gu An has often left the dojo. The disciples either don't notice his departure, or even if they do, they dare not ask.

Time flies.

Millions of years pass in the blink of an eye.

Early that morning, Gu An arrived deep in the mountains and forests. These mountains and forests stretched for hundreds of billions of miles. Even some powerful beings would lose their way if they entered this place, because there was a strong sense of the true meaning of the Great Dao here.

Deep in the mountains and forests, a pavilion sits in front of an old tree.

Hongyi, dressed in white, was standing in front of the water vat, looking at her reflection in the water, lost in thought.

Gu An walked up to her and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at?"

Hongyi turned to look at him and replied, "I'm wondering who I really am, what I was born for, and what goal I should cultivate towards."

Even after cultivating with Gu An for a million years, Hongyi's temperament remained aloof. She was curious about everything, but that curiosity would disappear once she understood it.

"If you can't find it, then continue cultivating. You'll find it sooner or later," Gu An said casually. This was indeed a question that Hongyi should consider; he could only offer guidance, not make the decision.

Gu An didn't want to limit Hongyi's existence; more variables would make things more interesting.

"Who exactly are you? How should I address you? Are we master and disciple?" Hongyi asked, staring at Gu An.

A few years ago, a group of cultivators flew over this mountain forest. Hongyi overheard their conversation. Some of them, who were closely connected by karma, were interacting as master and disciple, which aroused her curiosity about the master-disciple relationship.

Gu An said, "If you really want to know, you can take this as your training goal. If one day you can defeat me, I will tell you who I am. As for whether we are master and disciple, it doesn't matter. I teach you because I am just like you, curious."

Hongyi's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, and she simply murmured to herself, "Is it also out of curiosity?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her palm and struck Gu An. The palm strike was so swift that the nearby mountains and forests froze for a moment.
