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

Chapter 917 Variables from Earth

somebody is coming!

Before that Taoist even set foot on the continent where Wushi resided, all of Wushi's disciples sensed it. They were very excited, but instead of going to greet him, they took their places and waited for the first test.

Gu An was practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard. He was dressed in loose white clothes and looked relaxed and at ease.

Shen Zhen, unusually, didn't sit in front of the refining cauldron. She stood to the side, watching Gu An practice his fist techniques, and asked curiously, "What kind of interaction will this newcomer have with Wu Shi?"

She could deduce the existence of beings with higher cultivation than herself, but she could not deduce the future of Wushi. The past of that Taoist was already in her sight, but she could not foresee his future with Wushi.

The Taoist's future seems to be missing a segment, and because of this missing segment, the Taoist's future has become complicated.

"Wouldn't it be more interesting to see for yourself?"

Gu An answered casually, his tone calm, seemingly uninterested in the Taoist priest.

In fact, he was not interested at all, and had no intention of even meeting the person.

The arrival of that person merely symbolizes that Wushi is about to merge into Zhongtian. In the future, even more interesting people will come to Wushi, and Wushi will also bring opportunities to some cultivators, enabling them to become prominent figures in the world.

In general, Wushi will bring many possibilities, and Gu An's attitude towards this is quite open. He only asks his disciples not to reveal Wushi's identity.

Zhongtian is no simple place; there are immortals and gods watching from above. Therefore, Gu An's Dao intent enveloped the continent, allowing his disciples' methods of concealing their aura to escape the detection of the immortals and gods.

Shen Zhen could tell from Gu An's expression that he had no interest in the visitor.

Her eyes darted around, and she asked with a smile, "Will you take on more apprentices in the future?"

"Everything is preordained," Gu An replied casually.

Who determined this fixed number?

Shen Zhen almost blurted it out, but she knew Gu An would never admit it.

Even now, she doesn't know exactly how strong Gu An is. She can only be sure that Gu An is stronger than most immortals and gods, but not strong enough to ignore the Heavenly Court.

While she was lost in thought, the Taoist priest had already landed. He put away the banana leaves and began to walk. When he saw that a human race lived there, he felt relieved and began to warmly communicate with them.

Through this Taoist, Wushi's disciples were also able to learn about the current situation of the human race.

Humans cultivate at the fastest speed in the world, but because it is so fast, the difficulty of transcending tribulations is also higher than that of other living beings. Now, because of the Supreme Demon God, the survival of humans is even more difficult.

Disliking the actions of the Supreme Demon God, this Taoist left the human race and lived alone. But wherever he went, other living beings either fled in panic or chased after him.

Ultimately, the Taoist priest chose to stay on the mainland, which greatly increased the pressure on the disciples of Wushi. They originally thought that this person was just passing through, but they did not expect that he would stay. In particular, the disciples who were welcoming him were secretly cursing.

However, Gu An did not make things difficult for his disciples. Half a year later, he caused an opportunity from afar to emerge, and its vast aura immediately attracted the Daoist.

Over the past six months, the Taoist had discovered that the humans here were not very strong, and the spiritual energy here was not very suitable for cultivation. His interest was already waning, but now that he sensed a vast spiritual energy, he bid farewell to those around him and flew out of the continent.

His two disciples breathed a sigh of relief, as did the other disciples who were disguised as merchants, pedestrians, and officials on the street.

Because of one person, more than two million disciples had to impersonate a dynasty, with powerful officials and common people, which was more difficult than they had anticipated.

The beings born in the Central Heaven are all highly skilled and have a wide range of activities. They can easily move to another place from time to time, catching the local disciples of Wushi off guard.

After the Taoist priest left, the disciples were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Wuzhong Mountain, inside the courtyard.

The Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower stood before Gu An and sighed, "That man was quite law-abiding. I told him not to go up the mountain, and he didn't force his way up." Gu An sat on the steps in front of the pavilion, carving a wooden sculpture in his hand. He chuckled softly, "He was indeed quite law-abiding, and he didn't steal my herbs either."

The Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower came for this very reason. She asked, "Master, what should we do if someone tries to pick your herbs or forcibly climb the mountain in the future?"

Gu An casually replied, "If someone makes a mistake, they should naturally be punished. The punishment will be determined based on the specific circumstances. For minor offenses, their memories will be erased and they will be expelled. For serious offenses, their soul will be scattered here."

Upon hearing this, the Ephemeral Flower Demon Mother was not frightened; instead, she smiled.

This is the only way to act decisively. If they were to suffer in silence in order to conceal their cultivation, their Dao heart would be disrupted.

Afterwards, the Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower stopped bothering Gu An and turned to leave.

Not long after she left, Gu An suddenly looked up, squinted, and gazed at the horizon.

He discovered that a mysterious aura was flying from the chaos, rapidly approaching the Heavenly Dao. This speed had already surpassed the full speed of a Dao-level Great Luo Immortal. Moreover, this aura was difficult to discern, and even a Supreme Dao-Merging Emperor would find it hard to detect.

For the Heavenly Emperor, this aura should also be very faint.

But if the Heavenly Emperor were to observe carefully, he should be able to detect it; otherwise, this aura would not have descended upon him during his reincarnation.

Gu An stared intently, raised an eyebrow, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

"That is……"

A shooting star was reflected in Gu An's pupils; it was a shooting star shining with a blue light, streaking across the void.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that there were three carriages in the bluish light.

That was a carriage of Earth's high-speed rail, and the presence of dozens of mortals still lingered inside.

Most of these mortals were sleeping with their eyes closed, while a few were holding mobile phones, which reminded Gu An of his past life.

The clothes these people wore, and the models of the cell phones they held, were very similar to those he wore before he died in his previous life; at least he could recognize them.

what happened?

Where did these people come from?

Judging from their state, they seemed unaware that the carriage was traveling through space; they appeared to be resting in the darkness.

Gu An stared intently at them, trying to deduce the cause and effect of their actions.

He was astonished to discover that these people came from an incredibly distant Earth, and that their cause and effect originated from beyond chaos.

However, these people are indeed ordinary people from Earth, without any cultivation, and their early lives were very ordinary; they have never come into contact with extraordinary powers.

As their carriage moved forward, it was enveloped by a mysterious force, which then carried them directly out of Earth, out of the universe where Earth is located, across the void, and into the chaos.

This process was long and complicated, but the people inside the carriage were completely unaware of it.

This is the work of a sage!
Gu An was almost certain of this, but this sage was clearly wary of chaos and dared not let his power show. The power he injected into the carriage was very weak. If the Heavenly Emperor could detect it and exert his full strength, he could block these three carriages.

He deduced that these three carriages would silently enter the Heavenly Dao and fall into the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

When the people in the carriage woke up, the carriage had already stopped on the desolate land.
