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

Chapter 867: Chapter 859: Can’t Survive Even 1 Move

“I am not an immortal, I am just like you, a human.”

Gu An turned back to look at the celestial vault and replied, as warnings about seizing life span continued to flash before his eyes.

The evil demons in this world seem innumerable, but actually, most are mere avatars, feigning an overwhelming momentum to terrify all living beings.

The boy and the young girl heard Gu An’s response, and their tension dissipated, replaced by great joy.

Besides them, there were other living people, and seemingly very powerful ones!

“Big brother… what’s happening with those guys in the sky?”

The boy mustered the courage to ask. Although surprised by Gu An’s appearance, he had not witnessed Gu An in action, so he was filled with curiosity and confusion.

Gu An turned to look at them. Although the siblings appeared pitiful and miserable, he felt little sympathy, having seen beings far worse off while overseeing the heavens.

“They are being expelled. This land will soon be restored to its former state. Head north, and you can meet others. Everything will get better.”

Gu An replied. Within less than ten years, this world’s beings had faced a decimation of ninety-nine percent, and the survivors harbored hatred toward the immortal gods, passing down tales of their suffering to instill a disdain for the immortals in future generations.

He wouldn’t help all beings uncover the truth. No matter the case, their plight was indeed caused by immortals.

With those words, Gu An walked away in another direction.

“Big brother, was it you who saved us just now?”

The boy hurriedly took two steps forward, loudly asking, his gaze filled with tension and anticipation directed at Gu An.

Gu An paused without turning back, said: “Yes, it was me, what of it? I can’t take you with me, there are still many evil demons waiting for me to vanquish.”

Upon hearing this, the boy grew excited, immediately kneeling and kowtowing to Gu An.

The young girl followed suit, mimicking her brother.

With a wave of his right hand, Gu An dropped two secret technique manuals in front of the boy.

Hearing the sound, the boy looked up, but Gu An’s figure had vanished; he cautiously picked up the two manuals before him.

He was not very literate but had heard childhood tales of books containing the path to immortality. He tucked the manuals into his chest, his eyes brimming with longing.

The clouds in the sky began to disperse, sunlight bathed the land, symbolizing the arrival of light.

Gu An’s image was etched in the boy’s mind, who silently vowed that he would become a hero like that big brother.

“Oh no, I forgot to ask his name!”

The boy quickly got up and began to shout for the big brother, but no matter how he called, there was no response.

…

At dusk, Gu An walked along the mountain path towards his courtyard, not having fully eradicated the evil demons of one world today. He planned to proceed slowly to avoid drawing the attention of the Dark Heavenly Court.

These days, countless large worlds and little worlds suffered, places where celestial dao destiny was weakened were filled with bloodshed and savagery.

Not just the Dark Heavenly Court and immortal gods wreaked havoc; many local demon cultivators and demons took the opportunity to fulfill their desires, and even ghosts and gods from the Underworld descended to the Human World, with battles erupting every moment.

The Three Thousand Great Worlds is merely a collective term; beneath each large world lay countless little worlds, places where even the Mahayana realm is difficult to arise, outnumbering the stars.

Gu An intended to slowly harvest life spans, seizing this rare opportunity to its fullest.

If he encountered beings that evoked his compassion, he would not hesitate to leave them with a chance, enabling them to grow stronger independently.

Overall, today’s gains put Gu An in a good mood.

He walked along while searching for his next target, able to restore that large world to peace within five days, allowing him to choose his next target in advance.

Notably, he saw Li Ya.

Li Ya, who had been cultivating on the Path of the Great Dao, away from this turmoil, couldn’t restrain himself after hearing about the immortal gods’ chaos, heading to the Great Thousand World to rescue all living beings.

Knowing his strength was insufficient against immortal gods, he chose to save shattered large worlds, a decision that also altered his fate.

Gu An foresaw that Li Ya’s future would reach greater heights, even paving his own path.

“Senior brother, I underestimated you.”

Gu An smiled, thinking to himself that while Li Ya had abundant opportunities, without his backing, Li Ya would have died long ago, so he viewed Li Ya’s limits as far below Ji Xiaoyu’s.

Yet, facing the immortals’ calamity, Li Ya treaded a stronger path, earning his fresh respect.

He genuinely felt happy for Li Ya; he was so stubborn, unwilling to become his full-fledged subordinate, and now finally had hope.

A more joyous Gu An returned to the courtyard, where An Xin, rare to exit seclusion, was standing by the artifact refining cauldron, chatting with Shen Zhen.

Seeing Gu An, she immediately approached.

“Master, I recently had some insights, could you evaluate them?” An Xin asked expectantly.

For tens of millions of years, she had almost always been in seclusion, single-mindedly pursuing the dao. Her Immortal Emperor’s Eye became increasingly powerful, but she always felt inadequately strong, pushing ever onward.

Gu An replied, “Come here early tomorrow, I will take you out, you will gain something from travel.”

An Xin agreed without questioning further, bowed, and turned to leave.

Gu An eyed her with a gaze full of gratification.

Passing on the Immortal Emperor’s Eye to An Xin was indeed right; her Immortal Emperor’s Eye would surely achieve greatness, and her future attainment as a Daluo Immortal was truly feasible, provided she endured the lengthy accumulation.

Gu An went inside, took out Profound Celestial Intent’s book for reading, consciously shifting his attention away from the suffering of all living beings.

The moon set, the sun rose, heralding a new day.

An Xin arrived early at the courtyard to wait, and upon seeing her, Su Han, who came to find Gu An, instantly became nervous.

He highly respected An Zizai and naturally felt awe towards An Zizai’s master. Moreover, An Xin stood there impassively, radiating an oppressive presence that instinctively made him tense.

Curiosity filled him, wondering what cultivation level this legendary second-generation chief disciple had achieved.

Gu An pushed the door open, nodded at An Xin, then led her out of the courtyard.

Su Han hastily bowed but dared not speak up, feeling uneasy in An Xin’s presence.

After Gu An and An Xin departed, Su Han finally exhaled and turned to Shen Zhen, curiously asking, “Grandmaster Shen, what are grandmaster and senior going to do?”

Shen Zhen glanced at him and said, “Why not ask yourself? Aren’t you in good terms with your grandmaster?”

Su Han awkwardly smiled, “Isn’t Senior An right there? Seeing her makes me nervous.”

Shen Zhen chuckled and said nothing further.

“Grandmaster Shen, what realm is Senior An in? Do you know?” Su Han pursued.

Casually, Shen Zhen responded, “I don’t know. I only know your eldest brother couldn’t withstand a single move from her; you might want to ask him yourself.”

Not withstand a single move?

Su Han froze, realizing how vast the gap in cultivation levels must be.
