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

Chapter 684: Chapter 676: Wushi’s Third Generation, Destiny Fulfilled

After Gu An agreed that An Xin could take on disciples, she eagerly headed to the Qiankun Sect.

However, An Xin’s standards were extremely high, and after going through the Qiankun Sect, she didn’t find anyone suitable.

Regarding this, she was not in a hurry, prepared to wait through the long years. She would either not accept disciples or accept one who would be the strongest among the third generation of Wushiji disciples in the future!

Although the third generation of Wushi has not yet appeared, the Wushiji disciples have already begun to prepare eagerly.

The once-in-a-millennium sparring already couldn’t satisfy them, especially after the Blood Prison Great Saint and An Xin took the lead, other disciples began to contemplate other ways to surpass them.

Gu An not only had strong personal strength but also his ability to cultivate disciples was evident to all, and naturally, the disciples wanted to emulate him.

Upon hearing that An Xin was allowed to take disciples, other disciples in the dojo also approached Gu An, hoping to take on students.

Currently, aside from An Xin, only Celestial Demon Child, Celestial Cyan, Tian Bai, Blood Prison Great Saint, Ghost Mother of Ephemera, Emperor Tianhong, Shen Zhen, and Jiang Shi remained in the dojo.

Chen Chuan, Lv Xian, and An Shengtian had not returned until now. They had already established sects outside and could only occasionally come back to visit.

As for the competition among the disciples, Gu An did not intervene, as long as it wasn’t malicious competition, after all, in the long years, there needed to be some fun to pass the time apart from cultivation.

…

Time passed in a flash, and another ten thousand years went by.

An Xin still hadn’t taken any disciples, and because of this, the other disciples were not in a hurry either. They adhered to the rules secretly, as An Xin was the senior disciple, and her disciple should be the leading disciple among the third generation.

Moreover, they required a standard; being the first to take a disciple would easily become a reference for others.

With so many geniuses in the world, who could guarantee their disciples would be the strongest?

But if others had already taken disciples, they could make comparisons.

In these ten thousand years, Gu An had performed six lifespan projections, making his achievements in the Great Dao reach an exceedingly high realm.

On this day, right after the Spring Festival, Gu An came alone to the vast Path of the Great Dao.

The Path of the Great Dao was vast and boundless, not in the form of a cosmic plane. It was lush and flourishing, with countless branches, each containing different Dao Rules.

The part of the Path of the Great Dao he arrived at was considered the main trunk. The Three Thousand Great Dao formed one vast Qi Sea, within which were continents and meteors, with no visible signs of life. Looking towards the overseas part of the Great Dao, darkness made everything here seem small.

This time, Gu An came to pioneer the Primordial Dao Emperor.

He hovered in the void, above the Qi Sea of the Great Dao, his Heart Eye capable of seeing incredibly far distances.

He saw some people searching for treasure, some trapped in Dao dilemmas, some fighting for the Daoist Emperor, and some facing life-and-death separations.

Not only the Human Race and Demon Race but also many other races existed, some not even in the form of living beings, resembling souls or stars.

All things fell into Gu An’s eyes, and even as a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal, he felt the boundless creation.

Those who could tread the Path of the Great Dao had already become immortals, detached from the mundane world, each entwined with endless karma, as if a world became a speck of dust upon entering the Path of the Great Dao.

Gu An’s gaze turned to a farther place.

The Three Thousand Great Worlds lay under the Path of the Great Dao, and the Path of the Great Dao connected many mysterious planes, including the Primordial Emperor Domain, Misty Immortal Court, Ling Mountain, among others. Upwards from the Path of the Great Dao was chaos, and nothing could be seen, but Gu An’s Divine Sense could reach into it, which meant there were planes above; he just couldn’t explore them yet.

Gu An withdrew his gaze and began to create the destiny of the Primordial Dao Emperor.

Creating destiny would not cause a great commotion. For the destiny of the Primordial Dao Emperor to truly establish, it would take long years to develop.

Rather than say he was creating destiny, he was in fact creating a kind of Great Dao, allowing it to exist in the Path of the Great Dao until discovered by cultivators.

Notably, Yang Xian’s Sacred Heart Sword Dao was also a kind of destiny. The Sacred Heart Sword Dao would persist with the River of Sword Dao, allowing cultivators to draw upon its power, just like a Daoist Emperor and a Primordial Dao Emperor.

It’s just that Yang Xian’s cultivation level wasn’t strong enough.

There’s no denying that Yang Xian’s comprehension was truly terrifying. Without using lifespan evolutions, he could reach this step, even though he wasn’t stronger than the Celestial Spirit God.

Before Gu An entered the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit Realm, creating such a sword dao was very difficult.

But Yang Xian was him, and Yang Xian’s greatness was his greatness too.

As he complimented himself in his heart, he continued creating.

His Dao Intent formed streams of airflow around him. Before coming, he had already constructed the destiny structure of the Primordial Dao Emperor. Now only the final step was needed for it to be born.

Soon, these streams of airflow converged to form a gray mist studded with countless golden stars, still swirling around Gu An.

He raised his right hand and pointed in a direction, and the destiny of the Primordial Dao Emperor surged that way.

During the surge, this destiny gradually gained color, resembling a rainbow, but quickly becoming more vivid than a rainbow.

Gu An watched as it drifted far away.

Only after it merged into the Great Dao Destiny and disappeared without a trace did he vanish as well.

He didn’t return directly to the Celestial Spirit Great World but visited other Great Worlds, even going to the Primordial Emperor Domain and Misty Immortal Court. Each time he went somewhere, he would erase his karma and aura.

After several hundred back-and-forth trips, he finally returned to the Celestial Spirit Great World.

At this moment, it was still afternoon, with a bright and sunny day.

Gu An went to the Gathering Flower Sect and met with Jiang Qiong.

Upon hearing Gu An’s message, Jiang Qiong immediately set aside everything and came to meet him, even having her disciples prepare Immortal Brew and Immortal Food.

The two met in a small pavilion on the mountain top, outside of which a vast sea of clouds resembled an earthly fairyland.

“Did something happen?”

Gu An asked with a smiling face, naturally aware of what Jiang Qiong faced. His direct call for her was also to help her out of a predicament.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiong’s smile faded, she furrowed her brows and sighed, “It’s still the Taiqian Dynasty and the Dao Court causing trouble. Taiqian is rallying all the sects and dynasties to divide Dao Court’s territory. Before Taiqian breaks Dao Court, whatever territory the sects get will forever belong to them. But if they wait until Taiqian breaks Dao Court, Taiqian will confiscate all the land in the world. The elders of our sect also want to get involved, but I don’t think Taiqian will win.”

“Why won’t they win?” Gu An asked.

Jiang Qiong gave Gu An a sidelong glance and responded with irritation, “Because the Tai Cang Dynasty still exists, the Dao Court won’t annex the Tai Cang Dynasty, but Taiqian will.”

Gu An smiled helplessly, “I have long been unrelated to the Tai Cang Dynasty. The evolution of worldly affairs is not something I will interfere with.”

“Really?” Jiang Qiong didn’t believe it, and her inner voice made Gu An give her a glare.

Gu An fake coughed and said, “I have an opportunity here, if you can grasp it, the Gathering Flower Sect might become as strong as the Dao Court in the future.”
