Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Chapter 802: Chapter 794: Turning the Tide by Sheer Effort

Gu An stood by the river for quite a while, then crossed the small river and walked toward the mountain where he resided.

An hour later, he entered his courtyard, coincidentally, Shangguan Xian’er was also there, discussing a major event of the world with Shen Zhen.

Gu An had become accustomed; although Wushi does not intervene in worldly affairs, he is not completely detached from the world. The disciples always have exchanges with the sects, and whenever a major event occurs in the world, Wushi’s disciples will always make an appearance.

Of course, this is also the thought of the sects. Having Wushi’s disciples present, whether to preach or host conferences, will bring prestige and demonstrate one’s status.

Although Wushi does not seek domination, countless legends have been passed down since antiquity, and no one dares to shake Wushi’s prestige.

“Till now, the world has not witnessed the birth of a second Innate Golden Immortal. Do you think the Demon Emperor can succeed?”

“He is still far from the rank of Innate Golden Immortal.”

“But that Innate Golden Immortal claimed he possesses the potential for Golden Immortal, and at this grand event of the Demon Race, the Demon Emperor will exhibit the process of breaking through to the Profound Yuan Free Immortal. If successful, he will be the youngest Profound Yuan Free Immortal.”

“That is simply because we, Wushi, do not compare ourselves with the outside world.”

Facing Shangguan Xian’er’s curiosity, Shen Zhen appeared calm, showing no interest in the Demon Emperor.

She glanced at Gu An without paying much attention.

Shangguan Xian’er saluted Gu An, then continued chatting with Shen Zhen, and those not knowing might think they were master and disciple.

Gu An returned inside, preparing to take a nap.

With his cultivation level, he could do without sleep, but recently he enjoyed experiencing the Red Dust in dreams.

In dreams, he crafted a unique life, experiencing it firsthand.

He discovered he could make dreams become reality, creating the world from his dreams. However, he is not omnipotent, at least he cannot create a Dao World stronger than his cultivation level.

He increasingly believed that the so-called heavens and earth were not products of the Great Dao, but were opened up by powerful beings.

There is no heaven or earth within the Great Dao River; even if there is, they are the fallen ones entering in, without an original cause-and-effect relationship.

As Gu An fell asleep, Shangguan Xian’er managed to persuade Shen Zhen to accompany her to the Demon Race’s grand event.

The Dao Treasures in their hands had just been reforged by Gu An; in this world, no one could harm them.

After they departed, the courtyard of Gu An fell silent.

The sun set, the moon rose, and the seasons changed.

When the two ladies returned, half a year had passed.

Gu An stepped out from the house, stretched lazily under the sun.

“You didn’t sleep until now, did you?” Shen Zhen questioned with a suspicious look.

Gu An glanced at her, countering: “Why not?”

Nowadays, his medicine gardens around the region flourished anew, planted with high-tier spiritual grass. Each time he harvested, he could prolong the time. High-tier cultivation herbs mature over decades, and do not much diminish life span. Now, he not only gained ample time but also his annual income of lifespan increased to nearly three billion years.

In Wushi’s Daoist Field of the Beginningless, the medicinal herbs planted were too numerous to count, every disciple had their own medicine garden. Gu An would not interfere, and if he wanted to explode in lifespan, he could do it anytime, but only if a crisis arrived beforehand.

He would not reveal even a trace of his ability to seize life span.

“Well, would you like to hear about our experiences at the Demon Race?” Shen Zhen walked toward Gu An, asking with a smile.

Gu An nodded, letting her speak while reminiscing about his dream.

He lived another lifetime as Yang Xian, never taking innocent lives, focusing on chivalry, living a splendid life.

The name of the Sword Dao Saint Ancestor reemerged; acquiring this title is not only due to his strength but also his merits.

Unaware of Gu An’s thoughts, Shen Zhen eagerly shared about the Demon Race’s festivities. Initially, she wasn’t interested in the Demon Emperor, but seeing the Demon Emperor crossing the tribulation and his attitude towards people and matters, she had a change in perspective.

She thought the Demon Emperor truly might become the second Innate Golden Immortal.

“Interestingly, why did I feel the Demon Emperor’s form and voice resembled yours somewhat? Although there’s a significant difference, from afar, his silhouette looks like I’m seeing you.”

Shen Zhen looked at Gu An suspiciously, curiously asked, hoping to discern something from Gu An’s expression.

The origin of the Demon Emperor has always been a mystery worldwide; rumors once suggested a connection between the Demon Emperor and the Ancestor Master Wushi. Even Wushi’s disciples had asked Gu An, but he firmly denied it.

Shen Zhen returned in high spirits, feeling she might have discovered the link between the Demon Emperor and Gu An.

Not only did they resemble in form, but there were also some indistinct causes and effects on the Demon Emperor that could not be deduced, yet indeed existed.

This feeling, she only detected in Gu An, knowing she specialized in cause and effect. Concerning the achievement in the Path of Cause and Effect, no Wushi disciple could rival her, except for Fairy Yaoxuan, who was stronger but not considered a Wushi disciple.

Gu An looked at her, his expression serious, and said solemnly: “Some causes and effects are best left unprobed, otherwise…”

Shen Zhen was stunned by his shift in demeanor; she had never seen Gu An so serious and felt a bit unnerved.

“Beware, I’ll erase your memory!”

Gu An revealed a smile, raising his hand to gently tap her forehead.

Shen Zhen came back to her senses, instantly understanding Gu An was teasing her, she couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

As she was about to inquire further, An Zizai appeared, bowing to Gu An, saying: “Ancestor, two Immortal Gods have come to visit you. One calls himself Cixuan Old Immortal, and the other calls himself Taiyi Immortal Monarch.”

Seeing An Zizai show up, Shen Zhen stopped questioning since Gu An refused to disclose the connection with the Demon Emperor, clearly for a reason, she could only ask privately.

“Bring them to the Mountain Viewing Pavilion.”

Gu An replied, and An Zizai immediately disappeared from where he stood.

“Alright, I have matters to attend to, you should rest first.”

Gu An left these words behind and departed, his awakening was not merely to greet Shen Zhen.

Watching his departing figure, Shen Zhen clicked her tongue in amazement: “Remarkable, they say demon transformations take reference from appearance they find appealing, speaking of which, the looks of Celestial Demon Child, Celestial Cyan, Celestial Bai seemed familiar as if I’ve seen them somewhere before…”

Elsewhere.

Gu An walked all the way to the Mountain Viewing Pavilion, standing in the pavilion, he gazed at the nearby great waterfall.

Before long, An Zizai led Cixuan Old Immortal and Taiyi Immortal Monarch there.

An Zizai showed great curiosity toward the two Immortal Gods. Although Immortal Gods are no longer just intangible legends, he had yet to truly interact with Immortal Gods.

Gu An nodded slightly at An Zizai, indicating for him to leave.

After An Zizai left, Cixuan Old Immortal stood in the pavilion, bowing to Gu An and saying: “Please, Ancestor Master Wushi, intervene and save the world for Human Venerable.”

Gu An turned around, looking at him, expressionless.

Taiyi Immortal Monarch stood beside Cixuan Old Immortal, saying nothing, but observing Gu An’s expression.

“I am not a Celestial Court Immortal God, nor do I have the ambition to ascend to immortality. Why should I assist him?”

Gu An asked coldly, this moment, his look imposed immense pressure on Cixuan Old Immortal. Compared to last meeting, Cixuan Old Immortal felt as if facing another person entirely.
