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

After passing down the Heaven and Earth Primordial Skill to An Hao, Gu An didn't linger longer and quickly left the island.

In the sky, he saw the distant ocean stirring up massive waves, originating from the place of his breakthrough. The spiritual energy he consumed during his breakthrough was enormous, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to sink, inevitably shaking the ocean.

Fortunately, that sea region did not have any human-occupied mainland. The demon creatures surviving there all had cultivation levels, so even if the island was flooded, they wouldn't die. Besides, the waves just swept across rather than raising the sea level.

Gu An just glanced at it and did not give it much thought, avoiding any burden on himself.

He harbored good intentions and avoided harming innocent beings as much as possible. Still, if his cultivation inadvertently affected innocent lives, he couldn't help it, and he would not stop his progress.

Upon returning to the Supreme Sect, Gu An first wandered around the Mystic Valley. Lu Jiujia and the servant disciples were already accustomed to days without Gu An. Although Gu An often visited the Mystic Valley, everyone knew that his focus was on the Inner Sect's Medicine Valley, which they understood. Without Gu An, they felt no pressure.

Half an hour later, Gu An arrived at the Third Medicine Valley.

Compared to the Mystic Valley, the Third Medicine Valley was much livelier.

Gu An stepped down from the Transmission Array Platform, looked around, and saw the past of every servant disciple before his eyes.

A mortal spirit's century-long life was just a fleeting moment for him.

Gu An looked at An Xin, peering into her past, and sure enough, he saw his own figure.

He could see the past of mortal spirits, and so could other Carefree Primordial Immortals. This made him more grateful for his choice. Luckily, he stayed in the Supreme Sect. If he had roamed the world, the increasing causality would have attracted the attention of hidden Carefree Primordial Immortals. If such transcendental beings found his growth speed unreasonable, it would have been troublesome.

Gu An walked to the wooden fence in the garden area, looked up, and found his vision far beyond before, feeling more and more that the Great Heavenly Spirit Land was vast.

The name "Great Heaven and Earth" was indeed well-deserved!

This continent was already vastly broader than Earth in his past life, yet it was like dust in the entire Great Heaven and Earth. As his field of vision expanded, he saw more Heaven and Earth Flying Immortals coming and going.

He could even see the scenes beyond heaven, a splendid Star Sea with breathtaking spectacles, with starry lights resembling celestial rivers, filled with countless stars like great waves sifting through sand, and gigantic nebulas like cosmic trees guiding all beings.

Gu An's gaze was drawn to the sun illuminating heaven and earth. Outside the Great Heaven and Earth, there were not just one, but seven enormous suns, orbiting around the Great Heaven and Earth under some mysterious rule, allowing every place within it to maintain a regular pattern of four seasons and day-night cycles.

With his eyesight, he saw that each of the seven suns contained a mysterious being. They were colossal, with various forms—some were birds, others beasts, and even human-like figures, instilling awe.

The sun's surface had a power barrier that prevented Gu An from seeing their true forms, which also made life span detection impossible.

Gu An merely glanced before looking away, avoiding disturbing the beings within the suns.

Carefree Primordial Immortals could easily cross the sky to the outer universe, but he didn't want to go for now. Staying at the Supreme Sect was good enough. He had no urgent enemies, so exploring was unnecessary.

He could now roam the world freely. With the mystique of a Carefree Primordial Immortal, if he wished, no life below a Carefree Primordial Immortal would see or touch him.

Gu An looked towards the distant heaven and earth, his vision extending rapidly for countless miles.

A vast expanse of ocean swept past his eyes, he saw more prosperous continents and scenes of life fighting, including wars, battles between immortal great cultivators, and giant spirit beasts revered as divine beasts roaming the world, with countless mortals kneeling in worship.

There were also many places his vision could not penetrate, indicating that they might be home to Carefree Primordial Immortals.

Such places were either far from the mortal world or within extremely prosperous human or demon lands.

Gu An even saw a continent full of immortal beings, with the lowest cultivation being the Nirvana Realm, which amazed him.

Fortunately, that continent was incredibly distant. Even Nirvana Realm cultivators would find it difficult to cross because the journey was fraught with dangers. He had just seen a Loose Immortal swallowed by a mysterious giant sea demon, an event that happened so suddenly. The Loose Immortal was just passing by at an immense speed beyond mortal sight, yet was still devoured, perishing instantly.

Gu An felt as if he was exploring, this kind of peering brought him novelty. The whole world seemed to reveal its true face before him, making him unable to stop.

He did not know how much time had passed.

You Yingying came beside him and asked: "What are you thinking about? Why have you been staring blankly for so long?"

Gu An withdrew his gaze, looked at her, and smiled gently, "I am thinking about how vast the Star Sea Congregations are, and how broad the world outside is."

You Yingying laughed and replied, "If you want to go to the ocean, I can arrange it for you. As for how large the Star Sea Congregations are, even I, who was born there, am unsure. The sea area occupied by the Star Sea Congregations is thousands of times larger than this continent, and that's just my estimation."

Gu An nodded slightly. The territory of the Star Sea Congregations indeed exceeded the continent's size by thousands of times, but it did not seem vast to him because he could see even further.

He wondered if there were Carefree Primordial Immortals in the Star Sea Congregations.

Gu An thought that even if there were, they would not be in the mortal world.

Though Gu An could see the other side of the mortal world, he did not find the existence of Carefree Primordial Immortals. It was just hard to see them, but he could not be sure they did not exist. Perhaps Carefree Primordial Immortals could not spy on each other.

Therefore, this realm was called Carefree!

"Speaking of which, the internal assessment of the Star Sea Congregations is about to start. I wonder if Xuan Tianyi will make a name for himself this time," You Yingying said, her face full of reminiscence.

When Gu An heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there a threshold for the internal assessment?"

Li Ya, Zhang Buku, and An Hao had already joined the Star Sea Congregations. Gu An looked forward to seeing them make a name for themselves. All three had received his inheritance. If they could thrive in the Star Sea Congregations, he would naturally be pleased.

"No, anyone under a thousand years old can participate. By the way, Li Ya from the Supreme Sect is expected to take part. That Divine Exotic City is a Fake Immortal Treasure, so many prodigies will want to compete with him."

You Yingying smiled wickedly, with an expression of anticipating someone to be embarrassed.

The two of them continued chatting, the topic revolving around the Star Sea Congregations. Although You Yingying did not want to return, she spoke with pride about the Star Sea Congregations, often belittling the Supreme Sect.

This made Gu An look forward to the future of the Supreme Sect.

The future was long, and there was no rush!

Who could tell if the Supreme Sect would be more powerful or the Star Sea Congregations more prominent in ten thousand years?

Although Gu An had already reached the ninth layer of the Carefree Primordial Immortal stage, his life had just started at one hundred twenty-eight years old. Not to mention the future, he was very much looking forward to tomorrow.

After chatting with You Yingying for a while, Gu An moved to another place to continue observing the Great Heavenly Spirit Land.

In the extremely distant west, he saw a majestic mountain located in a desert, surrounded by sky-covering sandstorms, with a golden, radiant giant palace atop the peak, constantly receiving and sending off monks. That palace was also a place his vision could not penetrate.

This indicated that the palace likely had a Carefree Primordial Immortal.

The world was indeed vast and populated with numerous great powers. Not every Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal or higher existence would leave the mortal world.

In the days that followed, whenever Gu An had time, he observed the heaven and earth.

What made him most wary was the north. There lay a vast continent, the largest he had ever seen. He could only see its outline from the edges, and as soon as he got closer, a mysterious force barred his sight.

It was a very mysterious power present in all things.

It must be Qi Fortune!

The Supreme Sect also gathered similar power, but compared to that continent, its Qi Fortune was like a grain of rice compared to the bright sun.

He speculated that the continent was the strongest area in the Great Heavenly Spirit Land, but he could only observe with just his eyesight.

That continent was also incredibly far from the land of the three dynasties. Crossing mountains and seas to reach it was harder than the Journey to the West.

...

Spring of the first year of being a Carefree Primordial Immortal passed. Despite reaching a new realm, Gu An continued living as before, traversing various Medicine Valleys, sometimes visiting the Outer Gate City to read, and occasionally drinking and chatting with friends. Life was very leisurely.

In the mountains and forests.

Yang Jian, dressed in blue, continuously attacked Gu An. His movements were agile, and his punches and kicks were fierce, while Gu An stood still, dismantling each move in an unhurried manner. The faster Yang Jian was, the slower Gu An seemed.

Yang Jian was kicked by Gu An again, crashing into a tree and shaking down many leaves.

This time, Yang Jian didn't have the strength to get up, his Qi exhausted, but he didn't feel frustrated. Instead, he looked at his master expectantly.

He couldn't match his master's prowess, but he wanted to hear his master's evaluation of him.

"The path of physical cultivation is not so narrow. Not just fists and feet can become magic artifacts; every part of the body can," Gu An said, feeling gratified.

This boy's growth speed was amazing, even surpassing An Hao back then. Perhaps the elixir's efficacy still lingered, making Gu An feel astonished.

Set a goal.

Reach the Nirvana Realm within five hundred years!

Before that, Yang Jian couldn't go down the mountain to train, at most, he could return to visit family.

Yang Jian didn't know that his master had set a cultivation goal in his heart. He stood up and said, "Master, should I mainly practice the All Things Form and Energy Art, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Skill, or the Daoist Gang Primal Energy you taught me? They all seem profound and hard to master."

Gu An replied, "Take it slow, there's no need to rush to breakthrough the cultivation realm. You can start by laying a solid foundation."

Yang Jian felt it made sense. Following Gu An in cultivation meant he had all the elixirs he needed and no usual expenses, so he didn't need to hurry.

"Master, when would you be willing to participate in the Celestial Ranking Tournament?" Yang Jian suddenly asked, his tone full of anticipation.
