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

Chapter 930: Chapter 922: The Legend of Central Heaven

Upon hearing Gu An’s words, Liu An did not hesitate. He firmly said, “Even without my cultivation level, I will find a way to take revenge. I have a backup plan somewhere.”

“You want to rely on that magical treasure?”

Gu An’s voice floated out, and Liu An’s pupils suddenly shrank, his body involuntarily trembling.

He was truly shocked. How did this senior know he was hiding a supreme treasure?

Was he bluffing?

“No matter what you rely on, after saying so for thousands of years, then you must stay for thousands of years.”

Gu An’s words rang out again, causing Liu An to furrow his brows, his expression turning grim.

Liu An raised his hand, wanting to open the door and enter, but his hands dared not lay on the door.

Even if his cultivation level was still there, he wouldn’t be a match for this senior. If he offended the other party, the other might directly kill him.

If he died, what was the point of revenge?

After struggling for a while, Liu An ultimately lowered his head and left.

The torrential rain soaked him, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.

After that night, Liu An never mentioned revenge again. Every day, he would find Gu An, waiting for him to assign tasks.

Gu An never let him idle, making him chop wood continuously.

Liu An did not refuse and chopped wood every day. He noticed that despite all the wood he chopped, there weren’t many new buildings on the island. He understood that this was a test from the senior.

The senior saved him, not to merely toy with him.

Unable to return for revenge was indeed regretful, but at least he was alive. He did not resent Gu An for it, maintaining reverence and gratitude in his heart.

The longer he stayed on the island, the fewer stray thoughts Liu An had. He gradually found meaning in staying, choosing to start over even though his cultivation level was lost.

Thus, a thousand years swiftly passed.

Liu An continued chopping wood. His cultivation level recovered somewhat but was far from its peak.

Gu An most of the time stayed within the pavilion, and Liu An dared not disturb him recklessly.

Until one day, a cultivator flew in, landing on the island. Liu An, who was meditating while facing the sea, stood up to look at him.

“Are you a human race member? Why are you alone on this isolated island?”

The cultivator frowned and asked. He appeared to be in his thirties, wearing a cyan robe, and looked stern. As soon as he frowned, Liu An felt the overwhelming pressure.

Alone?

Liu An couldn’t discern the other’s cultivation level. His intuition told him that the person before him was stronger than anyone he had met, excluding the senior on the island. Such a formidable presence couldn’t sense the senior’s existence; how high must the senior’s cultivation level be?

“I crossed space, was severely injured, and lost my cultivation level, resting on this island,” Liu An answered, not revealing the presence of Gu An.

The cyan-robed daoist immediately understood and said, “So you are an Ascender. No wonder you are so weak. Your luck was quite good to land on this island. If you landed elsewhere, surviving would have been difficult.”

Ascender!

Liu An caught onto the critical information and hurriedly asked, “May I ask, senior, where is this place in the heavens?”

“This is Central Heaven. Don’t know if you have heard about it; over the long years, there have always been cultivators from the lower realms ascending. Nowadays, the world is not peaceful. Staying on this island can be a blessing.” The cyan-robed daoist answered.

Liu An felt as if struck by lightning, eyes wide open.

Central… Central Heaven!

He had heard of this place, from an elder. It was said Central Heaven was an immortal realm every cultivator aspired to reach. Only by ascending to Central Heaven could one hope to join the Immortal Class.

The greatest wish of that elder was to ascend to Central Heaven.

He actually arrived in Central Heaven. No wonder the spiritual energy here was so abundant.

The cyan-robed daoist slightly shook his head, then took out a secret manual and tossed it onto the beach. He leapt, turning into a sword light and disappearing into the sky.

Liu An snapped back to reality, picking up the secret manual.

“Supreme Qi Absorption Technique?”

Liu An read the words on the cover, secretly amazed that the human race’s language in Central Heaven was the same as in the realms he came from. The words ’Supreme’ made him feel something extraordinary.

He showed a hint of delight, as if obtaining a treasure, turning to head back to his residence.

Over the past thousand years, with constant repairs, his residence now had two stories. He lived on the second floor, with the first floor storing exotic treasures he collected, most washed ashore by the sea, considered rare material by him.

That turn marked the passing of ten thousand years.

Ten thousand years later, Central Heaven was still dominated by the human race. All beings of heaven and earth feared humans who were insatiably expanding their territory, leaving nothing but massacre in their wake.

The territory of the demon race was surpassed by the human race for the first time, especially with the Supreme Demon God seeking out demon race great powers everywhere.

More human race cultivators passed through the Wushishi Continent, while demon beings grew scarcer. Even disciples confined to the continent could sense the dire world trend.

Human race cultivators’ arrogance was thinly veiled, felt even in conversation.

By now, humans firmly believed themselves to be the masters of heaven and earth.

Gu An stood on a cliff, gazing towards distant cities. At the present, a human cultivator was lecturing at the Daoist Field of the Beginningless. This was the first instance of such a situation. Though Wushiji Disciples were inwardly uncomfortable, they refrained from showing it.

“An Innate Golden Immortal dares to lecture. Those disciples truly have patience.”

Shen Zhen came beside Gu An, remarked in amazement. Now, all second generation disciples had achieved Innate Golden Immortal status, and exceptional disciples from each generation had as well. In total, there were over one hundred Innate Golden Immortals within the Beginningless, a remarkable number, making it a powerful force among the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

“What of it? Even among those of the same realm, it’s worthwhile to listen to others’ Daoist techniques. Everyone’s path is different. If someone is willing to lecture, it’s a good fortune,”

Gu An lightly chuckled. Today, his mood was fine as he decided to abolish Liu An’s cultivation level and begin teaching him cultivation anew.

In comparison to millions of years, the years Liu An wasted were insignificant.

“You earlier said that humanity would decline at its zenith. Can it be considered at its peak now?” Shen Zhen turned to observe Gu An’s profile, curiously asking.

Gu An lifted his head to gaze at the celestial vault, replying, “It can be considered so. Soon, an astonishing battle will erupt, marking a turning point for Central Heaven.”

Hearing this, Shen Zhen showed an expression of anticipation, wondering if the Immortal Gods would intervene.

…

At dusk, in the courtyard.

“Senior, you…”

Liu An trembled all over, painfully looking at Gu An. Even his resolute spirit was filled with resentment at this moment, as Gu An had again, with a sweep of his sleeve, dissipated his cultivation level.

The Supreme Qi Absorption Technique was far more powerful than his previous cultivation technique. The progress of millennia made him very happy, but today, all was for naught.

If Gu An did not permit him to have a cultivation level, why didn’t he say so earlier?

Must he toy with him?

That was millennia of work!

Just like that, gone!

Liu An clenched his fists, eyes red, glaring at Gu An.

Gu An sat on the steps, leisurely, with both hands on the ground, smiling. “Your cultivation technique is too inferior. How about I teach you how to cultivate?”
