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

Chapter 411: Chapter 411: The Strongest Person



"What do you want to do in this life?" Zhang Shi looked curiously at Gu An.

He had gone through many reincarnations, in pursuit of a unique experience in each one, which left him somewhat lost in this life, unsure of what to strive for.

He had been a savior, worshipped as an immortal by all beings, had played the role of a world-destroying demon king, and even lived as a mortal.

With the increase in the number of his reincarnations, his confusion grew; this was why his original memories had awakened prematurely-he was searching for direction.

Gu An answered, "Tend to flowers, grow plants, chat and play chess with friends and disciples daily. If I could live my whole life like this, I would be completely content."

Zhang Shi asked in surprise, "Then what is your pursuit in immortal cultivation?"

Upon hearing the question, Gu An looked back at him with confusion and asked, "Isn't the purpose of immortal cultivation to satisfy the life one desires? I already have what I want, so why should I pursue cultivation further? My cultivation now is not about becoming stronger, but about living longer to enjoy more of this kind of life."

Zhang Shi's expression changed subtly as he pondered Gu An's words.

Which is more important-life or cultivation?

He knew all too well how difficult it was to attain longevity. Many people appeared to live for thousands of years, but they spent their entire lives desperately pursuing cultivation, and the total time of genuine happiness they experienced might not even surpass that of a mortal.

At the same time, Gu An offered him a new way of thinking.

Reincarnation didn't necessarily require one to be a certain type of person; it could also be about experiencing life in different ways.

Seeing Gu An again, Zhang Shi felt that Gu An possessed a transcendental quality, one that not even some Free Immortals had.

This aura, combined with the philosophical impact of Gu An's ideas, suddenly elevated Gu An's image in Zhang Shi's heart.

Zhang Shi's gaze towards Gu An turned different, and he began to inquire about the joys in Gu An's life.
