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

Gu An flaunted his new mount, attracting the disciples' curiosity towards the Blood Prison Great Saint, causing him to feel quite oppressed. But fearing Gu An, he could only endure.

Even Chu Jingfeng, who usually practiced swordsmanship on the mountaintop, came to join the fun. He had seen many mounts, but it was his first time seeing such an imposing ox. Its large horns were impressive, and its fur fluttered like flames in the wind.

After lingering in the Mystic Valley for an hour, Gu An took the Blood Prison Great Saint back to the Third Medicine Valley.

He planned to take the Blood Prison Great Saint with him wherever he went around the Supreme Sect.

Now, the number of cultivators in the Supreme Sect was increasing, and it was possible to see cultivators riding their mounts in the sky.

The disciples of the Third Medicine Valley were equally interested in the Blood Prison Great Saint. The presence of such Spiritual Energy in this valley amazed the Blood Prison Great Saint, as such a level of Spiritual Energy was rare even in the Spirit Realm, making him look forward to the days ahead.

Since he came, he might as well find peace!

But just one night later, that thought was replaced by anger.

There was an incredibly fat old rat in the Medicine Valley, damn it, it was infuriating!

He was napping downstairs when the White Spirit Rat bit his butt, startling him. As an invincible Great Saint in his realm, how could he tolerate this?

What frustrated him even more was yet to happen.

He couldn't catch the White Spirit Rat!

That night was the darkest moment in the Blood Prison Great Saint's life.

The next day, Gu An took the Blood Prison Great Saint to Tianya Valley.

"Why are you riding an ox?"

Luo Hun approached the Blood Prison Great Saint and asked curiously, unable to resist touching its fur.

Gu An smiled and said, "Just bought it. How is it? Impressive, right?"

"Indeed, quite nice. What breed is it?"

"I'm not sure either. I call him Bull Demon King."

"Bull Demon King? That name…"

Luo Hun shook his head with a smile, while the Blood Prison Great Saint lowered his ox eyes, looking dispirited.

Lv Xian and Ji Ruolai were also attracted to the Blood Prison Great Saint and came over to greet Gu An.

Given the plethora of demon creatures in the world, they didn't inquire much further.

"Have you seen my third sister lately?" Ji Ruolai asked Gu An.

Gu An shook his head and said, "No, I rarely go to the Inner Sect. What's the matter? Need me to deliver a message?"

Ji Ruolai nodded and said, "The family wants to summon her back to the Seven Stars Spirit Realm. Could you help convey the message?"

Gu An readily agreed and then went to pick medicinal herbs.

Three monkey demons circled the Blood Prison Great Saint with great curiosity.

Seeing their scratching and sniffing, the Blood Prison Great Saint felt they were mocking him, making him even more annoyed.

It became even more difficult after ascending for the third day.

...

In late autumn, Lv Baitian came to see Gu An.

After going upstairs, he habitually closed the door and set up a restriction. After finishing, he approached the desk and sat down, smiling as he asked, "Is the ox downstairs yours? Its qualifications are a bit lacking; it's just a First Order. It's not very useful. Do you want me to give you a Third Order mount?"

Gu An shook his head and smiled, "No need. I don't have many enemies. I don't need such a powerful mount. Besides, I have a good eye for this ox. It's quite intelligent."

"Intelligent? Looking at its eyes, it seems like it's about to be buried."

"Ha ha."

Gu An chuckled without denying.

Lv Baitian didn't continue to mock the Blood Prison Great Saint and started discussing sect matters.

Although the number one Sword Dao tournament in the world had not yet taken place, he already looked forward to the next big event.

Gu An's love for teaching was aroused, and he began to talk at length about various ideas, which Lv Baitian listened to with great interest.

Gu An not only discussed methods but also envisioned a bright future, making Lv Baitian feel quite pleased.

After a long time.

Taking advantage of Gu An drinking tea, Lv Baitian asked, "How do you think the Supreme Sect should view demons?"

During the previous great demon calamity, the Demon Emperor had sent a group of great demons. This group of demons was now still staying in the Supreme Sect, following Di Xie's leadership. The Supreme Sect had not mistreated them, arranging caves for each.

Gu An responded, "Sometimes human hearts are worse than demon hearts. Since we are already cultivating to become immortals, why should we have racial prejudice? Why can't the Supreme Sect recruit demon clan disciples?"

Lv Baitian nodded. He sighed and said, "But doing so, wouldn't there be hidden dangers?"

"Everything has its pros and cons. We can't avoid doing something just because we fear the cons. If successful, it can set an example, making the human and demon clans on the mainland no longer be at odds. If it fails, then treat it as a training exercise, suppress it if necessary. Isn't suppression what you were best at in the past?" Gu An said calmly.

With this, he aimed to accumulate strength for the Supreme Sect.

The Supreme Sect eventually has to face the Seven Stars Spirit Realm!

Ji Xuanling represented the Seven Stars Spirit Realm in trying to win over the Supreme Sect, but the Supreme Sect only maintained good relations without bowing down, reflecting the attitude of the Hall of Elders.

Now, the mentality of the upper echelons of the Supreme Sect had become inflated. They were already thinking about becoming the second Holy Land in the mainland, or even surpassing the Seven Stars Spirit Realm.

With Gu An's support, Lv Baitian felt much more confident, and the smile on his face became brighter.

The two chatted for a long time before Lv Baitian left, satisfied.

Downstairs, he looked at the Blood Prison Great Saint lying on the ground and became interested. He walked over, patted the Blood Prison Great Saint's head, and said with a laugh, "Little beast, cultivate well. One day, you might become a disciple of the Supreme Sect. Reaching the Nascent Soul Realm is not impossible."

The Blood Prison Great Saint glanced at him with a white eye, too lazy to respond.

This made Lv Baitian pause, suspecting he had misseen.

Forget it. What's the use of arguing with a beast?

Lv Baitian stood up and left.

The Blood Prison Great Saint watched his back, seething with inner rage.

Old thing!

Just you wait!

Daring to insult me, in a thousand years, I will make you kneel before me and beg for mercy!

...

Snowflakes flew as Gu An rode the Blood Prison Great Saint, wandering in the Third Medicine Valley. It seemed like he was patrolling, but in reality, his Divine Sense was traveling overseas, looking for a place to break through.

An Xin ran over, curiously asking, "Master, why do you ride it wherever you go? Don't you think it's slow?"

Gu An lightly chuckled and said, "I'm training its physique. Although it's my mount, I won't mistreat it. Sooner or later, I will release it."

Hearing this, the Blood Prison Great Saint's eyes brightened, and his ox body became upright, no longer looking like an old dying ox.

An Xin nodded. Just as she was about to speak, two figures suddenly flew in from the sky.

It was Lu Lingjun and Shen Zhen.

After landing, Shen Zhen enthusiastically greeted Gu An.

Lu Lingjun glanced at the Blood Prison Great Saint under Gu An but didn't pay much attention.

Shen Zhen talked excitedly about their opportunities over the years, making even An Xin listen with envy.

Gu An also pretended to be emotional, envious, satisfying Shen Zhen's sense of achievement.

Now Shen Zhen was already at the Fifth Layer of the Nascent Soul Realm, evidencing the great fortitude.

After chatting for a while, Shen Zhen finally left. Before leaving, she mentioned preparing to publish a book next, which made Gu An's heart skip a beat.

After Shen Zhen left, An Xin also didn't disturb Gu An and Lu Lingjun, finding an excuse to leave.

Lu Lingjun lightly stomped her foot, forming a barrier with her spiritual power, isolating the three-foot area, making the Blood Prison Great Saint look at her again.

"Gu An, I heard there's an ascender appearing in the north. You are close to the sect leader. Did you find out anything?" Lu Lingjun asked directly.

Ascender!

Upon hearing these words, the Blood Prison Great Saint couldn't help but lower his head.

Such a disgrace!

Gu An thought for a moment and shook his head. "I haven't heard of it. Why are you so concerned about the ascender?"

Lu Lingjun hesitated for a while and said, "To be honest, I'm also an ascender, so I wanted you to write about the Shattering Void."

Gu An's eyes widened, showing a look of incredulity.

The Blood Prison Great Saint looked up again, this time with tears in his eyes.

Lu Lingjun had wanted to say this for a long time. The opportunities over the years had made her more confident as she said, "I want to recruit ascenders and build my own network in the Supreme Sect. What do you think?"

She knew Lv Baitian often visited the Medicine Valley, and she had often heard about Lv Baitian's plans from Gu An.

She also wanted to convey her intentions to Lv Baitian through Gu An.

Gu An excitedly said, "Of course, it is a good thing. It will enhance the strength of the Supreme Sect. However, I really don't have any information on that ascender."

Hearing this, the Blood Prison Great Saint was full of confusion.

He could tell now that no one knew the true cultivation level of the person on his back.

Moreover, the cultivators he had seen so far were very weak, not even reaching the first-class level in the Spirit Realm. He couldn't understand why a great cultivator like Gu An would hide in such a small place.

"In the future, keep an eye out for such information, and I won't treat you unfairly," Lu Lingjun said.

She had to devote most of her time to cultivation. Since the appearance of beings in the Mahayana Realm and the Immortal Path, she felt a great urgency, thinking the Mystic Heart Realm was inadequate.

Gu An nodded with a smile.

They had a brief chat before Lu Lingjun left.

Gu An patted the Blood Prison Great Saint, signaling him to continue forward.

"People always want to go to places they've never been before, but when they arrive, they find it's all the same. When they want to turn back, it's often too late."

Gu An said leisurely, and the Blood Prison Great Saint felt he was speaking to him.

Unfortunately, the Blood Prison Great Saint couldn't speak; otherwise, he would argue with Gu An.

If it weren't for meeting you, would I be so aggrieved?

The falling snow grew heavier, the ground accumulating more snow. The Blood Prison Great Saint left two ox hoof prints in the snowy ground as he and Gu An disappeared into the vast snow.

Until nightfall.

Demon Land.

On the wasteland, Xuan Tianyi and An Hao sat facing the fire. The falling snow did not land on them, melting in the ten-foot radius around them, separated from the surrounding snowy ground.

Xuan Tianyi held a book and softly said, "The demonic qi here is very strong. Maybe we'll find Evil Demons hiding nearby."

An Hao was practicing his skills. He opened his eyes and asked, "Senior, what should we do when we find the Evil Demon?"

After the trend of heading north swept the world, he couldn't restrain his restless heart anymore. Saying goodbye to Si Yan'er, he ventured north alone.

His goal was to become an immortal and not stay in one place for any person indefinitely.

Xuan Tianyi answered, "Then you take the information back. I will stay here alone."

"Why would you stay?"

"I also want to play the hero. I can't always rely on Sword Venerable Fudao, can I?"

As he spoke, Xuan Tianyi turned to the next page and continued to read.
