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

Chapter 893: Chapter 885: Nine Options

“Indeed, we should gather. I can share my insights into the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit with everyone.”

Blood Prison Great Saint stood by a nearby table, smiling smugly. Among the second-generation disciples, half had yet to achieve the Innate Golden Immortal status, so many couldn’t help but roll their eyes at his words.

Gu An smiled without replying, letting the disciples chat among themselves.

Once the fine wine and delicacies were served, they began drinking together. It was a rare opportunity to enjoy such an atmosphere and all the disciples put aside their cultivation troubles to relish the moment.

An hour later.

Gu An looked around at all the disciples and said, “In a few years, I plan to leave the Celestial Spirit Great World.”

As soon as he spoke, everyone quieted down and turned to look at him. Some showed surprise, while others looked as if they had known earlier.

Jiang Shi curiously asked, “Where are you going?”

He had already decided to follow Gu An no matter what, so he had no hesitation.

Back in the day, he went through great lengths to gain his master’s approval. His current achievements hadn’t disappointed him, and looking back felt like a dream. He wanted to go even further.

Other disciples also looked at Gu An. None of the second-generation disciples hesitated; all wanted to follow Gu An.

Gu An laughed, “I haven’t decided where yet, but you all don’t have to follow me necessarily. If you encounter trouble in the Celestial Spirit Great World, just think of me in your heart, and I will feel it. I simply wish to explore other realms.”

Celestial Demon Child immediately said, “Wherever you go, I’ll go.”

Other disciples quickly expressed their stance. They didn’t believe Gu An was merely going for a stroll; if that were the case, there was no need to speak so seriously. Moreover, they remembered the Supreme Sect. After Gu An left, Supreme Sect still existed, but in the eyes of outsiders, Supporting Dao Sword Venerable had severed ties with Supreme Sect.

Supporting Dao Sword Venerable was no longer present; now, Ancestor Master Wushi was renowned. Few linked Ancestor Master Wushi with Supreme Sect, and even when Supreme Sect disciples mentioned those past events, they were often questioned.

“No rush, you can think it over. I’ll tell you again when I’m actually leaving.” Gu An remarked with a smile. He was pleased with the disciples’ attitudes, but he hoped they would follow their hearts. He was truthful; even if he left the Celestial Spirit Great World, he would still protect Wushi.

Then, Gu An changed the subject to cultivation.

He spoke of the creations of Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal, instantly piquing the curiosity of all the disciples.

Some among them had already reached the Innate Golden Immortal Realm. Those who hadn’t achieved it felt they eventually would, so the Innate Golden Immortal wasn’t mysterious to them. Naturally, they began to anticipate higher realms.

Golden Immortal Dao Fruit is divided into three layers: Innate Golden Immortal, Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal, Taiqing Golden Immortal. Most Immortal Gods in the Celestial Court were merely at the Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal cultivation level.

Reaching Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal is akin to matching the Immortal Gods in cultivation!

This invigorated the disciples greatly. Immortal cultivation, after all, was about ascending to immortality.

Though the immortals in the Celestial Court disappointed them, as long as their cultivation rose sufficiently, they could become the immortals they aspired to be.

The gathering lasted until night, and after disbanding, the disciples left in twos and threes, leaving Gu An and Shen Zhen alone in the courtyard.

After tidying up the courtyard, Shen Zhen looked at Gu An, who lay in the rocking chair stargazing, and asked, “Are you afraid you’ll implicate the Celestial Spirit Great World? Actually, you shouldn’t bear so much burden. Without you, the Celestial Spirit Great World would’ve disappeared long ago. You never owed anyone anything.”

Gu An glanced at her and replied, “Of course not, I’m just weary after all these years.”

“You always say one thing but mean another. Never mind, wherever you go, you have to take me with you. I’m dedicated to you for life.” Shen Zhen shook her head.

“I really need a maid, but you’re not qualified. You’re not serving me at all.”

“How should I serve you, like Ah Xiang in ’Spring Willow Record,’ or like Yang Qiniang in ’Unclean Monk’?”

Shen Zhen provocatively looked at Gu An and asked in a coquettish voice, moving toward him as she spoke.

Gu An responded with a snort, “Tonight the wind is calm, the moon is splendid; if you’re willing, I won’t refuse.”

He knew Shen Zhen well; she wanted to embarrass him, so he wouldn’t let her succeed.

However.

As Shen Zhen got closer, Gu An noticed her inner thoughts changing.

Oh no!

…

Sunlight broke the horizon and swept across the peaks within the Daoist Field of the Beginningless.

Bang!

The door opened, and Gu An and Shen Zhen walked out one after the other. He stretched lazily toward the sky, while Shen Zhen sat by the Artifact Refining Cauldron, as she always did.

Last night, the two had a profound exchange regarding each other’s works, which was very enjoyable.

Gu An directly activated the lifespan breakthrough.

[You have activated the lifespan breakthrough function. Based on your current realm, select a breakthrough location below:]

[1. Chaos Innate Tower]

[2. Sunset Sea]

[3. Formless Realm]

[4. Dao Ancestor Star]

[5. Three Thousand Boundary Bridges]

[6. Origin Space-Time]

[7. True Extreme Dao Universe]

[8. Chaos Great Rift]

[9. Immortal Spirit Infinite Mountain]

Still nine options!

This means these places can potentially give rise to terrifying beings surpassing the Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao.

Of course, this is just potential. If such beings exist, these places wouldn’t be absolutely safe for Gu An.

Gu An didn’t make a decision immediately; he walked toward the courtyard gate to ponder.

The names of these places seemed extraordinary, worthy of serious consideration.

As for his departure, Shen Zhen didn’t care, not even glancing at him.

Walking down the mountain path, Gu An focused on the suggestions before him.

Chaos Innate Tower sounded like a Magical Treasure; was it left by a supreme expert?

Sunset Sea, Formless Realm revealed no clues.

Dao Ancestor Star—could it be the first star since the dawn of the Great Dao?

Gu An thought of his past life, Earth. Within the Heavenly Dao, there were mortal stars similar to Earth, but none like his recollection of Earth, which led him to further speculate about chaos.

Three Thousand Boundary Bridges didn’t attract him much, but Origin Space-Time fueled his imagination.

True Extreme Dao Universe, Chaos Great Rift, Immortal Spirit Infinite Mountain sounded awe-inspiring.

After weighing his options, Gu An reached a conclusion.

By the time he reached the mid-mountains, he quietly made his decision.

[Teleport to Immortal Spirit Infinite Mountain, requires consuming 100,000,000,000,000 years of lifespan. Continue?]

My goodness, a hundred trillion years of lifespan!

Many stars and worlds haven’t even lived that long.

Gu An briefly marveled before choosing to proceed.

Soon, the familiar dizziness struck, causing him to instinctively close his eyes, losing perception of his surroundings.

After a while, Gu An felt his feet touch the ground and slowly opened his eyes.

A breeze swept toward him, fluttering his black hair and widening his pupils.
