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

Chapter 949 Wu Shi's Trouble

Ji Xiaoyu heard what her followers were saying, but she didn't care. Her gaze was fixed on the distance, and she sensed the atmosphere of an impending great battle.

"Gods and immortals..."

Ji Xiaoyu muttered to herself, her eyes revealing disdain.

Even upon reaching the highest heavens, one can still witness the oppression of mortals by immortals and gods. It seems that the so-called center of the Heavenly Dao is nothing more than this.

Ji Xiaoyu thought to herself that she was not interested in this battle and planned to find a place to establish the Yin-Yang Immortal Realm first.

Once she determined the direction, she immediately led everyone to fly there.

During the flight, Ji Xiaoyu had a strange intuition that a great opportunity awaited her in the direction she had chosen.

She didn't think this intuition was wrong, nor was it accidental.

Are you guiding me?

Ji Xiaoyu thought to herself, a slight smile playing on her lips.

She no longer resisted the man's care for her, but she always had a strong will, which was why she did not leave with Wushi.

She wanted to rely on herself to walk up to that person and then issue a challenge.

Regardless of life or death, only victory or defeat matters.

If possible, she also hoped that she could protect him instead.

Gu An, far away on Fangcun Mountain, also smiled, because he had heard her thoughts.

Inside the courtyard, he was playing chess with Xuanwu, who was scratching his head, unable to make a move.

Xuanwu looked up and saw Gu An smiling. He couldn't help but ask, "Master, what's so funny?"

He really didn't want to play chess with Gu An, because Gu An could predict his every move, which made him feel uncomfortable and made it no fun at all.

"It's nothing, it's just that someone wants to defeat me in order to protect me. Isn't that funny?" Gu An replied with a smile.

Xuanwu's eyes widened, and he stood up abruptly, angrily asking, "Who is so insolent? Is it Liu An, or the True Essence Ancestor?"

Gu An glared at him and said irritably, "Sit down! Don't take this opportunity to quit the game!"

Xuanwu gave an awkward smile and sat down.

Afterwards, Gu An told Xuanwu his story with Ji Xiaoyu, which interrupted the game of chess. However, Xuanwu was very interested in his story.

Gu An talked for two whole hours before finally ending the conversation, still feeling like he hadn't said enough.

Xuanwu directly regarded this story as Gu An's experience in a previous life. After all, powerful beings would reincarnate to experience different things, and with his current cultivation level, he could also feel the cycle of reincarnation.

That young lady could not be older than the master, otherwise how could she have ascended to the heavens only today?
Xuanwu sighed, "Master, is this the kind of love described in those stories?"

To keep him entertained, Gu An brought him many books, so that even though he hadn't left Fangcun Island, he had gained some understanding of the world.

Gu An rolled her eyes at him and said, "What love? How vulgar! This is called being kindred spirits."

"Really? I've never seen you smile like this because of Liu An or Ancestor Zhenyuan," Xuanwu asked with some skepticism.

Gu An realized that this guy had really grown up and dared to tease him.

"You lost the game of chess today. Your punishment is to run ten thousand laps around Fangcun Island. Remember, you can only run on foot, and you cannot use any magic."

Gu An said seriously, and Xuanwu's face instantly fell. He let out a wail and began to beg for mercy, but Gu An ignored him completely.

Running like this is not difficult for Xuanwu, but it is a huge waste of time and meaningless, only torture.

Not long after, Xuanwu reluctantly started running, while Gu An got up and left, satisfied. He planned to return to the Boundless Continent. He believed that Xuanwu wouldn't dare to deceive him, and if he did, he would see it.

If Xuanwu dares to lie to him, then their relationship will come to an end.

Xuanwu knew this, which is why he was always cautious and apprehensive when facing Gu An.

……

The war between the Dragon Ancestor and the Heavenly Court lasted for several years. Even with the help of the great powers of heaven and earth, the Heavenly Court ultimately emerged victorious. The war ended when the Heavenly Court's supreme immortal beheaded the Dragon Ancestor and sealed his soul.

The creatures were terrified and fled in panic, their forces routed.

The celestial beings and gods of Heaven did not pursue them; for them, the most urgent task was to bring the Dragon Ancestor back.

They ascended the Heavenly Steps back to the Heavenly Court, and the Central Heaven fell into silence.

The second-generation disciples of Wushi came to Gu An's courtyard one after another to inquire about the outcome of the battle, and Gu An did not hide anything from them.

This made the disciples feel regretful. Although the Dragon Ancestor was defeated, his spirit of daring to rebel against the Heavenly Court was worthy of their respect.

"Alright, instead of worrying about the Dragon Ancestor, you should be concerned about the troubles on our continent. A defeated Taiqing Golden Immortal is coming to attack. Is there anyone willing to take action?"

Gu An sat in the rocking chair and asked casually.

Upon hearing this, all the disciples turned to look at him, their eyes shining.

Currently, among the second-generation disciples, those who can rival the Taiqing Golden Immortal can be counted on one hand. However, they have not fought against external enemies for too long, and their first reaction upon hearing of this trouble is excitement.

"I go!"

Blood Prison Great Sage took the lead and said that he was one of the few second-generation disciples who had achieved the Taiqing Golden Immortal status, and he was truly confident that he could defeat the other Taiqing Golden Immortals.

Lu Xian and Zui spoke up, but An Xin remained silent.

The other disciples teased the three of them, egging them on to say who had the best chance of winning.

In the end, Gu An decided to let Lü Xian participate in the battle, since Lü Xian's battle was interrupted when he went to the Origin Vein, and he had been holding back his energy ever since.

"There will be many more troubles like this in the future. Some beings want to occupy this continent in order to escape the reckoning of the gods and immortals, while others come from beyond the heavens and the lower realms and want to establish their dojos here. You all have a chance."

Gu An said with a smile, which excited all the disciples.

Tianbai asked curiously, "Master, what about you?"

The other disciples looked at him, their eyes filled with anticipation.

They hadn't seen Gu An make a move in a long time.

"The beings above the Taiqing Golden Immortal realm are not someone you can contend with, no matter how high your talent or comprehension are," Gu An said casually, giving his disciples the answer they wanted.

Jiang Shi sighed, "Those who can cultivate to the Great Luo Dao Fruit have all gone through countless tribulations and vast years. It's a pity that when they meet their master, their path will inevitably come to nothing. But these are their choices, so no one can be blamed."

The others nodded in agreement. They imagined themselves venturing out into the world, choosing seemingly harmless places to establish their dojos, only to encounter reclusive old monsters – the thought was terrifying.

Afterwards, the disciples began to discuss what kind of opponents they would face next.

Three days later, the first Taiqing Golden Immortal arrived.

Having experienced the great war between immortals and mortals, this Taiqing Golden Immortal is now like a frightened bird. Seeing that there are many living beings on the Wushi Continent, but no powerful figures to guard it, he harbored evil intentions and wanted to imitate the Dragon Ancestor, sacrificing all living beings on the land to restore his own cultivation and thus face the revenge of the immortals and gods.

Lu Xian stepped forward, and this battle was earth-shattering, witnessed by all living beings on the continent. They regarded Lu Xian as a true immortal who lived in seclusion deep within the continent, and some beings even knelt down and kowtowed to him.
