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

Chapter 662: Chapter 654: The Change of Cause and Effect

“Isn’t it already done?”

Upon hearing Gu An’s words, Li Ya was momentarily dazed.

Such a boastful tone!

So good at pretending!

Li Ya secretly grumbled, then asked, “When will you take action?”

If peace could return to the world, that would naturally be a good thing.

Gu An looked at Li Ya, blinked, and said, “Haven’t I already taken action?”

Li Ya widened his eyes, and said in a deep voice, “Junior Brother Gu, don’t jest with me. How? Did your cup land on the table and disperse that bizarre power covering all living beings?”

Gu An smiled at him, not answering.

Li Xuanyu was the first to believe Gu An’s words, her gaze at Gu An full of indescribable meaning.

Faced with Gu An’s smile, Li Ya suddenly felt a jolt in his heart.

Could it be that Gu An was not boasting, but actually did it?

But why did he not feel any trace of it?

Could it be that before he came, Gu An had already resolved that strange power?

Li Ya was filled with confusion, not knowing what to ask.

“What are your plans for the future? Do you need to enter the Dao Court?” Gu An asked, not continuing to discuss the strange power. He believed that after parting this time, Li Ya would investigate this matter, and then, Li Ya would be even more amazed by his strength.

Li Ya did not question Gu An’s ability to arrange for him to enter the Dao Court, but he shook his head and said, “I don’t want to be restricted, otherwise I would have stayed at the Supreme Sect all along. I plan to continue traveling, as there are countless opportunities in this world that have yet to bore me.”

Besides the opportunities nurtured by the Great Thousand World after its reshaping, Gu An once spread treasures from the Battle Court across the world. To this day, seventy percent of them have yet to surface, including various inheritances. Even Li Ya, as a Divine Immortal of Wondrous Dharma, and indeed a Profound Yuan Free Immortal, would encounter suitable divine skills and secret skills.

After hearing this, Gu An did not insist. He began reminiscing about the past, causing both Li Xuanyu and Li Ya to be filled with emotion.

One hundred and sixty thousand years ago, even if they were beaten to death, they could never have imagined achieving the accomplishments and status they enjoyed today.

Speaking of old friends, they began to talk more to each other, with Li Xuanyu occasionally interjecting, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

One hour later, Gu An invited Li Ya to visit the Qiankun Sect, while Li Xuanyu found an excuse to leave, not disturbing them.

After they were alone, Li Ya no longer held back and began to talk about his troubles over the years.

He spoke about family, love, and enemies, saying whatever came to mind.

Even when facing his wife and children, he would never show a vulnerable side, but facing Gu An, he couldn’t help but speak of these matters.

Gu An listened attentively, occasionally teasing Li Ya, causing Li Ya’s emotions to fluctuate.

After staying at the Qiankun Sect for two days, Gu An took Li Ya to Wushi to see his dojo.

Upon stepping into the dojo, Li Ya was awestruck by the spiritual energy present.

Gu An accompanied Li Ya on a stroll inside the dojo, where they encountered disciples cultivating. The dojo was vast, and the disciples preferred to cultivate alone in different spots.

Upon seeing Gu An’s arrival, the disciples all paid their respects, and Gu An introduced Li Ya to them.

The disciples had an impression of Li Ya, having heard from An Xin that Li Ya was the person Gu An cared about most.

Li Ya could sense that each Wushiji disciple’s cultivation level was not weaker than his own, and An Xin and the Blood Prison Great Saint gave him an overwhelming sense of pressure.

However, Li Ya wasn’t discouraged, believing it only natural to train alongside Gu An.

After staying at the Daoist Field of the Beginningless for three days, he bid farewell to Gu An.

“Would you like to stay and cultivate?” Gu An asked with a smile.

Li Ya shook his head and said, “I’ve relied on you a lot already, to tell the truth, I still have the ambition to surpass you. Though cultivating by your side would be faster, it’s impossible to surpass you, so I need to forge my own path, and my nature isn’t suited to long-term seclusion.”

“The world is vast, and my eyes have yet to fully take it in. After I’ve roamed across this world, I’ll return to reminisce with you.”

At this, Li Ya became high-spirited.

Gu An greatly admired his ambition and thus did not stop him.

“Besides, I need to see if you’ve truly resolved the catastrophe!” Li Ya stated, staring intensely at Gu An, as if challenging him.

Gu An laughed and said, “I’m afraid these eyes of yours won’t perceive if I’ve truly resolved it.”

Upon hearing this, Li Ya was instantly frustrated.

The Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit popped out and said, pitifully, “Master, I want to stay!”

Li Ya immediately grabbed it, and with an awkward smile, said to Gu An, “It’s speaking nonsense.”

The Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit widened its eyes, struggling hard.

“You two do match well.” Gu An shook his head and laughed.

He could hear the thoughts of the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit, knowing it was reluctant to leave Li Ya, and spoke out of disapproval of Li Ya’s posturing.

“We’re leaving now!”

Li Ya left this utterance, taking the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit with him.

Gu An stood amid the woods, watching them leave, feeling quite amused by their banter.

The power of Divine Exotic City was inferior to Dao Treasure, even if he’d given Divine Exotic City to Li Ya, he wouldn’t have minded. The reason for maintaining a layer of connection was in case Li Ya suddenly left his line of sight in the future.

An Xin appeared beside Gu An, also watching Li Ya’s back. She curiously asked, “Master, did Elder Li’s causal change, was it your doing?”

Though she couldn’t clearly see all of Li Ya’s fate, she could feel the changes in Li Ya’s fate and causality, affecting his destiny.

“No, it’s his choices that changed his causality.” Gu An answered calmly.

Though the strange power had been dispelled by Gu An, Li Ya’s interest in powers from Outer Heaven had been piqued, and he would focus more on everything related to Outer Heaven, thereby altering his life’s path.

With Gu An’s influence existing, the future of the Reincarnation Body would become more and more illusory.

After all, the Reincarnation Body itself is determined by the original body.

Gu An’s current strength could create different futures, even make different futures exist truly. Using modern Earth’s terms, he could create parallel worlds with a single thought.

An Xin had a thoughtful expression, believing Li Ya’s change in choices was also due to this conversation with Gu An.

Gu An turned around and returned, with An Xin closely following, starting to ask him about her cultivation doubts.

Though the strange power had been dispersed by Gu An, the hatred among people had already formed, and the chaos in the human world would continue for a while, but compared to before, it wouldn’t become more tragic.

Meanwhile, Emperor Tianhong would earlier confront Zhao Rushen, marking the beginning of an unprecedented era of dual heroes.

This contention would also shake the foundations of the Dao Court, bringing a new variable to the dynamics of the human world.

…

Endless Dao Mountain.

The White-haired Ancestor lectured for a millennium, and as the bell rang, all listeners awoke.

“I permit each of you to ask one question. Once I’ve resolved everyone’s doubts, this lecture will conclude. You may ask about any confusion during the lecture, or ask questions unrelated to this lecture.”

The voice of the White-haired Ancestor rose, causing whispers to ripple through the dojo.

Gu An also began to ponder what kind of question he should ask the White-haired Ancestor.
