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

Chapter 909: Chapter 901 The Pinnacle of the Immortal Dao

The gentle breeze caressed the surface of the lake, as Xiao Lan and An Xin listened to Gu An narrate the future of the Fire-red Crow.

The Fire-red Crow was one of the earliest beings in the world, with unparalleled talent and immense destiny, continually encountering fuyuan. After its transformation, it named itself Fang Qiu.

Fang Qiu traveled the world, constantly advancing his cultivation level. Later, when a great power established the Demon Race, he went there, breaking through numerous demon crowds to become one of the Seven Emperors of the Demon Race, his name shook the world. Thereafter, he was always a figure of influence in Central Heaven, until he ascended to immortality, and only then did the Human World begin to forget him.

Gu An recounted his life experience briefly, yet even in this brevity, it sparked boundless imagination in the two young women, Xiao Lan and An Xin.

They looked at the Fire-red Crow, pecking at spirit fruit in front of Gu An, utterly unable to associate it with the future giant of the Demon Race.

An Xin curiously asked, “Master, how high will its future achievements reach?”

Gu An looked at the Fire-red Crow and said, “The peak of the Immortal Dao.”

The peak of the Immortal Dao!

Their expressions shook; they understood Gu An was not referring to the Immortal Dao Peak of the Celestial Spirit Great World, but rather the peak of the Immortal Dao within the scope of the Heavenly Dao, a realm beyond their current imagination.

“Then have you already stood at the peak of the Immortal Dao?” Curious, Xiao Lan asked.

To be able to see the destiny of the Immortal Dao Peak, Gu An’s cultivation level must be so high.

Gu An smiled without a word; since she had guessed, there was no need for him to say more.

He had indeed already stood at the peak of the Immortal Dao, only higher than the peak.

He continued telling the story of the Fire-red Crow. After eating, the Fire-red Crow came close, starting to rub its head against his knee.

Even though the Fire-red Crow couldn’t speak human words, it too had spiritual intelligence, able to sense that this person harbored no ill intentions towards it.

Gu An reached out and petted its head; indeed, its feathers were very smooth and felt comfortable to touch.

After chatting for an hour, Gu An felt it was time and lifted his right hand, tossing the Fire-red Crow into the air.

The bird circled in the sky several times before flying away.

Xiao Lan sighed, “This little guy is really intelligent, and it looks nice too. I see you like it quite a bit, why not adopt it, and cultivate it yourself? Its future achievements would certainly be even greater.”

An Xin also looked at Gu An, having a good impression of the Fire-red Crow.

Gu An stood up, stretched lazily, and said with a smile, “The Great Dao is boundless, and those with exceptional talent are numerous. I can’t keep every one I encounter; besides, different life experiences lead to becoming different people.”

He raised his hand to store the fishing rod into his sleeve, then slung the fish basket over his back and walked along the lakeside.

Xiao Lan and An Xin hurriedly got up, following behind him.

“Will it really not remember you? Or recall today’s events?” Xiao Lan asked curiously.

“There will be this passage of memory, but it won’t know where exactly, like a childhood dream. As for me, its dream doesn’t reflect me.”

Gu An answered while moving forward, pausing before continuing, “In the future, such things will continue to happen. There will always be beings approaching Wushi, and you will witness those with even greater talent than it. This is my assessment for Wushi disciples; concealing one’s cultivation level from such exceptionally talented beings is not an easy task.”

He set this requirement for the disciples purely on a whim, using it as an excuse to send them off.

The number of disciples following him was indeed too many, necessitating a reduction by ninety percent.

Gu An’s words prompted Xiao Lan to endless contemplation. What would the future of Central Heaven be like?

…

During the long years, Wushi disciples would, besides cultivation, go to the edge of the mountains to observe the vast world’s all living beings. Every time they emerged from seclusion, they could feel tremendous changes in the world outside their dojo, letting them understand what it meant for things to change rapidly.

Each year, powerful beings were born, causing wonders in heaven and earth, allowing all Wushi disciples to feel the underlying strength of Central Heaven. They harbored no arrogance in their hearts, only a sense of urgency, fearing being surpassed.

With more and more beings, the realm of the Immortal Dao in the world grew higher and higher, inevitably leading to cause and effect. Beings began to band together, especially those capable of reproduction, who realized the importance of unity earlier, making the struggles in Central Heaven grow ever fiercer.

While local beings contested, Immortal Gods and Outer Heaven Great Powers continued to descend.

They landed in Central Heaven Human World, spreading the Immortal Dao everywhere, establishing benevolent ties for their respective forces, advancing Central Heaven’s development.

The legend of Central Heaven spread through the Three Thousand Great Worlds, more and more cultivators becoming aware of Central Heaven, a place above the Three Thousand Great Worlds, an Immortal Realm that captivated the hearts.

Celestial Spirit Great World.

In the early autumn of this year, at the edge of the Nine Spirit Continent, where waves crashed against the shore, two figures stood on a reef, gazing silently at the prosperity within the continent.

It was Li Ya and his disciple, Li Xianyou.

Today’s Nine Spirit Continent was no longer shrouded in spirit mist and had begun interacting with the mundane world. Meanwhile, the Ten Thousand Realms Gate created by Gu An still stood and even became a crucial bargaining chip in the Nine Spirit Dynasty’s dealings with the outside world.

Li Xianyou turned his head to look at his master, breaking the silence, “Ancestor Master Wushi has been gone for millions of years, and no one knows where he went. After he left, Wushi quickly dissolved, either lured by other sects or established their own sects or dynasties. In short, Wushi no longer exists in the world.”

Li Ya’s face was expressionless, but his heart was filled with a sense of bitterness.

He had come back specifically to boast about his achievements to Gu An. Now his name was known across the Three Thousand Great Worlds. He not only achieved Innate Golden Immortal but also found the sorcery to reach a higher realm.

However, Gu An was no longer there.

He didn’t know where to find Gu An, and his heart felt a deep sense of loss.

At this moment, he even felt a bit bewildered, wondering if the memories of Gu An were merely his fantasies.

Was there really such a great power that would support him without expecting anything in return and even be willing to be his junior brother?

The more Li Ya thought, the more his heart ached.

Having endured the Immortal Demon Catastrophe, his Dao Heart became more steadfast. But facing Gu An’s disappearance, he could no longer maintain his firmness and strength.

Li Xianyou could see that Li Ya’s mood was bad, and lamented, “Master, if there’s anyone to blame, it’s you. Master Gu invited you many times, and you always refused. He couldn’t have stayed until you came back, and besides, during your absence, the Celestial Spirit Great World faced suppression from the Heavenly Court Immortals, which might have been the reason for Master Gu’s departure.”

Upon hearing this, Li Ya looked up, his gaze deep, whispering to himself, “The Celestial Court…”

Li Xianyou felt a pang of anxiety, saying, “Please don’t do anything reckless. You can’t possibly be a match for the Heavenly Court Immortals.”

Li Ya gave him a sidelong glance, retorting in annoyance, “You speak as if your master were a fool.”

Isn’t that the case…

Li Xianyou mumbled to himself.

Li Ya turned and flew towards the sky.

Li Xianyou hurriedly followed, asking curiously, “Master, where are you going next?”

“I’ll wander my homeland for a while, then head to Central Heaven. They say Central Heaven will become the center of the Heavenly Dao; I want to pursue an immortal position there. Once I’m in the Celestial Court, maybe I can assist Junior Brother Gu.” Li Ya answered calmly.

He knew clearly that the Celestial Court was unassailable. Only by joining it and using his strength to change the Celestial Court was the feasible way.
