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

Chapter 916 The Dojo Enters the World
Hearing Gu An's words, Xiao Lan deeply agreed, and she would not try to persuade Gu An not to open the temple.

All living beings must integrate into the world. They strive to cultivate so that they can be more carefree in the world. If it is only to avoid calamity, why bother cultivating? Why not just die sooner and end it all?
The disciples of Wushi were afraid of being expelled from the sect, but they were also looking forward to the day when the temple would be opened to the public, and they wanted to see Zhongtian with their own eyes.

Not only Wushi's disciples, but Xiao Lan also had such expectations.

The two chatted for a while longer before Xiao Lan went back to cultivate.

After she left, Shen Zhen, who was sitting in front of the refining cauldron, turned to look at Gu An and said, "I can predict the Demon Emperor Fang Qiu, but I have no way of predicting that Supreme Demon God. What is his background?"

“A pitiful emperor, but he doesn’t deserve sympathy, because he was the one who orchestrated the purge of the Three Thousand Great Worlds,” Gu An replied.

Shen Zhen was moved by these words and asked in surprise, "That emperor is so high and mighty, how could he be pitiful? Why would he personally become a demon?"

"That's why we say he's pitiful. He's now powerless to control his own destiny, and there are still forces in Heaven stronger than him."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhen immediately thought of someone.

The legendary Heavenly Emperor!

Although she had heard that there was a Heavenly Emperor in the Heavenly Court, in many myths and legends, the Heavenly Emperor was the supreme being.

Shen Zhen clicked his tongue in amazement. It seemed that the struggles within the Heavenly Court were no simpler than those within the mortal realm.

Last time I heard Gu An say that the emperor held great power in the Heavenly Court, but in the blink of an eye, he fell to earth as a demon, and suddenly fell from heaven to the mortal world.

Becoming a demon—it sounds like it never ends well.

Even though Shen Zhen believed that the gods and immortals were hypocritical, she believed that the Heavenly Court would always uphold the rule that good will always triumph over evil.

Shen Zhen stopped asking questions and continued to comprehend the Dao.

The Wushi Temple was peaceful and serene, but the world outside was experiencing its own ebb and flow.

The Demon Clan Assembly proceeded smoothly, ultimately producing seven Demon Emperors. The seven Demon Emperors discussed the future of the Demon Clan, and they quickly decided to launch a campaign against the Supreme Demon God.

However, the Supreme Demon God was not alone. In addition to the human race supporting him, there were many other powerful beings. As he grew stronger, the number of beings following him continued to increase, gradually forming a powerful force.

Against this backdrop, the human race is also rapidly rising. The human race's reproductive ability is extremely terrifying. Their offspring are all of exceptional talent, born with the innate Dao bodies that all living beings yearn for.

The human body is called the innate Dao body. All things cultivate and evolve into the innate Dao body. This is why the human race is so powerful. They were created by the Heavenly Emperor based on the innate Dao body and are born with great fortune. The humans in the Middle Heaven have no lifespan limit, which makes them even stronger.

Thousands of years have passed again.

On this day, An Zizai brought a message to all his disciples.

The patriarch is preparing to disband the temple!

This news thrilled all the disciples.

They could understand why the Daoist temple was to be dismantled, because the spiritual energy and Daoist intent within the temple were too concentrated. Once outsiders set foot there, they would sense that this place was not simple, and even if they disguised themselves as ordinary people, outsiders would not believe them.

At the same time, An Zizai also informed the patriarch of the highest cultivation level set by him, which no one could exceed. Such a cultivation level was not considered low in the Great Thousand World, but in Zhongtian, it was truly only considered that of a mortal.

At noon, Gu An stood on the cliff of Wuzhong Mountain, gazing at the sky.

He was looking at the Lingxiao Palace in Heaven.

The reason he chose to open the temple at this time was because the Heavenly Emperor was about to enter the reincarnation period.

Emperor Taihao was not a simple clone. In order to completely separate cause and effect and destiny, Emperor Taihao was actually the son of the Heavenly Emperor. It would take time for the Heavenly Emperor to completely transfer his realm and soul into Emperor Taihao.

Gu An saw that even if Emperor Taihao became the Heavenly Emperor, he would not fully obtain the Heavenly Emperor's memories and would still need a long time to integrate them.

For him, this period of time was too long, but for the Heavenly Emperor, it was not worth mentioning at all.

Of course, if the Heavenly Dao encounters trouble during this process, the Heavenly Emperor can return directly.

While the Heavenly Emperor was busy with reincarnation, Gu An took the opportunity to breathe some fresh air.

Su Han approached Gu An and asked excitedly, "Grandmaster, if any living beings enter our territory and provoke us, can we fight back?"

Gu An stared intently at the sky and said softly, "Of course we can. If any outsiders cause trouble, you can take action as appropriate. I will not blame you for it."

Upon hearing this, Su Han beamed with joy, thanked Gu An, and then turned to leave, intending to share the news with all the disciples.

Gu An stared at the sky until night fell, when billions of stars dotted the heavens, creating a beautiful scene like a painting.

As he turned around, the moon had set and the sun had risen, and a new day had begun.

All the disciples are preparing and eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new disciples.

A year later, just as dawn broke, the spiritual energy in the Wushi Dojo began to sink, which quickly alarmed all the disciples.

The disciples emerged from their respective buildings. To welcome Zhongtian, they abandoned their cave dwellings and built pavilions and even towns, resembling a dynasty.

Once the dojo was completely closed, the disciples began to move around. Gu An allowed them to wander and settle on this continent, but forbade them to go to sea.
The disciples left together, full of anticipation even though they couldn't leave the mainland. Even An Xin and Shen Zhen went down the mountain.

Gu An stood on the mountain, watching his disciples excitedly wander around, and a smile appeared on his face.

He could understand his disciples, because they had been holding back for too long.

He often sneaks out, but his disciples are not allowed to. It's quite difficult for them, but it's their own choice, and he won't change his attitude because of it.

Gu An noticed that on a nearby mountain, Fairy Yaoxuan was also gazing into the distance.

Looking at this beautiful woman, the memories of the Eternal Emperor involuntarily surfaced in Gu An's mind.

He had previously retraced the cycle of reincarnation using the identity of Ji, and he suddenly wondered whether he should let the Eternal Emperor go through it again.
Let's see if the Eternal Emperor can create a brilliant life in Zhongtian.

However, Zhongtian is not strong enough now. Once the Eternal Emperor reaches the Great Luo Immortal realm, he will attract the attention of immortals and gods.

Gu An didn't stare at Fairy Yaoxuan for a long time; he looked at her for a while before turning around and going back into the house.

Even Shen Zhen has left, so he can finally enjoy some time alone.

After the temple was closed, no spirits from Zhongtian came, because Zhongtian was simply too vast.

As they waited, the disciples' excitement gradually subsided.

One hundred and twenty years later, someone finally came to this continent. He was a Taoist man, standing on a banana leaf, crossing the sea.

He was a human cultivator with a cultivation level in the Profound Origin Free Immortal Realm. Such a cultivation level was not considered strong in Zhongtian, but it was not the weakest either.

When he discovered that the continent harbored many living beings, he became very interested in it.
