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

Chapter 851: Chapter 843: Arrogant and Unrivaled

“Beginningless?”

Emperor Xuan raised an eyebrow, silently muttering this name. Instinctively, he calculated with his fingers, but unfortunately, he couldn’t deduce any cause and effect related to Wushi, which piqued his interest.

He turned his gaze toward the Celestial Spirit Great World, his divine sense sweeping through, only one place remained obscure, it must be the hiding spot of Wushi.

“If that’s the case, then I shall challenge Wushi!”

Emperor Xuan stepped towards the Celestial Spirit Great World, and his words caused the faces of the gathered Great Powers to change drastically, yet no one hindered him.

Firstly, they couldn’t stop him, secondly, they hoped Wushi could suppress Emperor Xuan’s arrogance.

Ji Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment in the crowd but ultimately did not step forward.

Emperor Xuan’s venture would at most disturb Brother Gu, who, after all, seemed quite idle.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoyu’s lips curled up, showing some anticipation.

At the same time, people started to follow Emperor Xuan’s footsteps to watch the battle. Someone took the lead, followed by more people, and soon, the cultivators from Outer Heaven formed a long line, trailing Emperor Xuan.

They had absolute confidence in Ancestor Master Wushi, as he had never been defeated. The only suspense lay in how Emperor Xuan would be defeated.

On the other side.

Gu An was not within the Daoist Field of the Beginningless; he was in the middle of guiding Xiao Lan’s cultivation.

Currently, Xiao Lan also reached the Heaven-Encompassing Free Immortal Realm, and in terms of cultivation level, she ranked among the top five in the Celestial Spirit Great World. Of course, this did not include the Immortal Gods.

Gu An was not directly helping her become an Innate Golden Immortal; instead, he wanted her to mature a bit more and accumulate insights.

It wasn’t because he favored Ji Xiaoyu more, but Ji Xiaoyu’s reincarnation experiences far exceeded those of Xiao Lan.

The two stood in a forest, Xiao Lan raising her right hand, with a green lotus suspended above her palm, continuously emitting silvery threads, and the light it produced illuminated her face, highlighting her expressions of anticipation, anxiety, and joy.

Gu An stood beside her, watching with admiration, and praised, “Condensing Dao into Lotus, your Thought Dao has achieved something.”

The Thought Dao is the Dao of thoughts and ideas, distinct from the Soul Dao but intricately connected to it.

There must be a soul to have a mind, and with a mind comes endless thoughts.

Cultivators comprehend the Dao, with the Three Thousand Great Dao, but few choose to cultivate the Thought Dao.

Gu An, although primarily focusing on the Path of Cause and Effect and the Path of Power, has dabbled in the Three Thousand Great Dao, and even if he is not familiar, his perspective and insights into the Thought Dao are enough to benefit Xiao Lan greatly.

“Without Brother Gu, how could I have such fortune?” Xiao Lan looked up at Gu An, speaking with a bright smile.

In the Xiao Family, she was the supreme and revered ancestor, but in front of Gu An, she was always the younger sister.

Memories of past and present lives merged without erasing her original colors, even fostering a new self.

Xiao Lan withdrew her hand and dispersed the green lotus within it. She turned to Gu An and curiously asked, “You should have heard the conversation from Outer Heaven. That Emperor Xuan is about to challenge Wushi. Aren’t you returning?”

Gu An shook his head, chuckling, “A trivial Emperor Xuan still requires my intervention?”

“Oh? Is there a disciple within the Beginningless more formidable than Emperor Xuan?” Xiao Lan grew more curious.

Gu An smiled silently, then followed up, “Since you don’t want to practice anymore, take me for a walk. Your Xiao Family has truly grown larger, its reputation has even spread to the Nine Spirit Continent.”

Xiao Lan hugged Gu An’s arm and responded, “Large it is, but problems have also increased, with emotions and reasons entangled. Sometimes it’s truly hard to resolve. I gradually understand why you left the Supreme Sect.”

The two departed the forest while continuing their conversation.

“The Xiao Family is still just beginning. Compared to the Ancient Clans standing in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, the Xiao Family is merely starting out. I left the Supreme Sect simply to change my environment, change my mood, and maybe one day I’ll leave the Celestial Spirit Great World.”

Gu An comforted, although the Xiao Family had various troubles, overall they had not gone astray.

Currently, the Xiao Family had thousands of disciples, so it was inevitable that some evil individuals existed. Fortunately, the Xiao Family’s laws were strict and didn’t shelter evildoers, so Gu An’s impression of them remained decent.

“If you leave the Celestial Spirit Great World, then I’ll follow you. I have already served the Xiao Family well.” Xiao Lan spoke with a radiant smile, her tone filled with anticipation.

She had traveled the Path of the Great Dao and knew that there was a vaster world beyond the heavens. Following Gu An through the heavens would indeed be an unparalleled experience.

Shooting stars streaked across the sky, a phenomenon of the Great Powers descending upon the mortal realm.

Emperor Xuan flew towards the Nine Spirit Continent, his divine sense enveloping the heavens and gaining a deeper understanding of the Celestial Spirit Great World.

Immortal Gods, Son of Heaven, Ancestor Master Wushi…

This Great Thousand World is indeed fascinating!

Emperor Xuan’s eyes burned with fighting spirit, eager for the upcoming battle.

As he flew, he approached the vicinity of the Nine Spirit Continent. Below, a boundless ocean spread, with spirit mist surging at the horizon like a wall at the world’s edge, mysterious and grand.

Countless Great Power Cultivators descended from the heavens, hovering in the distance, watching Emperor Xuan’s back, whispering amongst themselves.

Two figures flew over from the other side of the heavens, one of them handsome and valiant, though dressed in simple Daoist robes, his spirit was akin to a treasure sword emerging from its sheath, attracting attention.

This person was the top prodigy of the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance, Guan Tianyu!

After being defeated by Emperor Xuan, Guan Tianyu returned to heal. Upon hearing Emperor Xuan challenging Wushi, he couldn’t resist coming to watch.

Alongside him was his master, Ancestor Master Qingguang, one of the hierarchs of the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance.

“Master, will Ancestor Master Wushi show up?”

Guan Tianyu halted, gazing distantly at Emperor Xuan’s figure, voicing his inquiry.

Though he had always stayed within the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance, he held a curiosity regarding Wushi.

Having met disciples of Wushiji, their brilliance inspired him. Even though he had grown powerful, he didn’t feel confident enough to challenge Wushi, as the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance continuously advised: to be spirited but not arrogant, especially maintaining respect for Wushi.

As one senior hierarch noted, all living beings in the Celestial Spirit Great World owe a debt to Wushi.

Ancestor Master Qingguang mused, “It’s unlikely that he will appear, but with Emperor Xuan already at the doorstep of Wushi’s Dao Sect, an entertaining show awaits us.”

Guan Tianyu was about to further inquire when suddenly, Emperor Xuan’s voice rang out, resounding stone-shattering.

“I am Emperor Xuan, here to challenge Wushi, regardless if it’s Ancestor Master Wushi or Wushiji disciple, come forth and face me. Let me see if the Celestial Spirit Great World houses any true formidable ones!”

Emperor Xuan’s voice was filled with arrogance, and his disdainful tone towards all living beings roused anger among the spectators, who all glared furiously at him.

No one insulted Emperor Xuan verbally, as he had consistently proven himself through victories, establishing himself undeniably as a strong figure.

For now, the cultivators anticipated Wushi’s response, yearning to see Emperor Xuan defeated!
