If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 1002 Honglu

The golden-red egg trembled, and the cracks on its shell increased and widened.

All the Dao-level Great Luo Immortals stared intently at the golden-patterned red egg, sensing the aura within it.

The great thunder that shrouded the huge crater became even more ferocious, and the thunder roared continuously, attracting more and more living beings to approach. The heavenly fortune that protected this area began to dissipate, allowing beings of lower realms to also glimpse this place.

squeak-

A sharp and eerie sound came from inside the golden-patterned red egg, like the cry of some kind of bird.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a pair of wings sprouted from the back of the figure inside the eggshell, quickly enveloping its entire body.

Gu An could sense that the profound mysteries of the Three Thousand Great Daos were converging on this object, transforming its physical body and enhancing its power.

Even before it has fully emerged into the world, this creature's cultivation has already reached the Taiqing Golden Immortal realm.

For ordinary people, the Taiqing Golden Immortal realm is an extremely high realm that they dare not even dream of. Even the most talented people in the Three Thousand Great Worlds would find it difficult to reach this realm.

More and more creatures arrived, but many others turned and fled after getting close and realizing the situation was not good.

The Great Sage of Blood Prison looked around and saw that the scene was getting bigger and bigger. He was very excited, and flames ignited under his hooves, just like his fighting spirit.

Gu An used his lifespan probe on the golden-patterned red egg.

【Honglu (Perfected Taiqing Golden Immortal Realm): 0/999,999,999,999/999,999,999,999】

So many nines!
Gu An clicked his tongue in amazement. Although he could see through the essence of the Nine Great Daos, he was still very interested in the process of the Nine Great Daos transforming into living beings.

When Honglu surpassed the Taiqing Golden Immortal level, the number nine in his lifespan probe began to increase rapidly.

The onlookers all changed their expressions drastically. Those who had not reached the Great Luo Immortal Realm were frightened, but the vast majority still chose to stay and watch the show.

This place is filled with many renowned powerful beings, as well as celestial gods and immortals. There shouldn't be any trouble here. They want to see what kind of being will hatch from that golden-patterned red egg.

Honglu's aura continued to rise, but it had disappeared from the eggshell, as if black mist was surging inside.

Emperor Ziqiong sat on his throne, his right hand constantly calculating, while the black cat at his feet stared intently at the golden-patterned red egg as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

Time continues to pass.

Three hours later.

Hong Lu's aura was already approaching that of a Dao Grand Luo Immortal, making all the onlookers, except for Gu An and the Purple Sky Dao Emperor, feel uneasy.

Those Dao-level Great Immortals would glance at Gu An and his companion from time to time, hesitant to speak. They no longer hoped for any opportunity or good fortune, fearing that this was a demon unlike any they had ever encountered before.

A being who is about to reach the Great Dao Immortal level right after birth—if such a being harbors evil intentions, the consequences will be endless.

The Purple Sky Great Emperor stared at Hong Lu expressionlessly, ignoring those gazes. As for Gu An, he took out a folding fan and gently waved it. He looked more relaxed than the Purple Sky Great Emperor.

A crackling sound, masking the thunderous roar, rang out, drawing the attention of thousands of onlookers.

boom!
The golden-patterned red egg suddenly burst open, and a vast hot wind swept in all directions, instantly dispelling the thousands of thunderbolts above and even scattering the thunderclouds of the Great Dao. A golden light burst forth from the bottom of the pit, shooting straight to the end of the void.

Those with lower cultivation levels took out their respective magical treasures and prepared for battle. At this moment, Hong Lu's aura also reached the Great Dao Immortal level, and the rolling heavenly Dao fortune surged towards the golden light, forming waves that surrounded the golden light, like a tornado.

Within the golden light, a figure slowly rose up—it was Honglu. Its wings spread, revealing a human body. Its tail was extremely long and hairless, while its wings grew black feathers. The Heavenly Dao's fortune gathered on its body, forming a black armor, like black dragon scales, which quickly covered its body and extended all the way to its tail. A sharp horn, as sharp as a knife, grew from the end of its tail.

It raised its head, and a head of black hair grew out rapidly and spread out. Its face was not like a human's, but more like that of a black dragon, except that its jaw was not as prominent.

Its eyes were so cold, devoid of any emotion, that even the golden light of heaven could not conceal the chill emanating from the depths of its soul.

The moment Honglu appeared, all living beings trembled with fear. Its appearance gave people a cold, violent feeling, making them uneasy.

"Although his cultivation level is far higher than Hongyi's, his talent is about the same, or even weaker than Hongyi's."

Gu An thought to himself that Hongyi had quietly descended into the Heavenly Dao without being discovered by the Heavenly Emperor. Only after Hongyi arrived did the Heavenly Emperor discover the existence of the Primordial Will, and then moved Hongyang into the Heavenly Dao, where he was reincarnated as his own son.

Honglu was also discovered by the Heavenly Emperor. As the being with the highest cultivation level in the Chaos Realm, apart from Gu An, no one could have perceived the Nine Great Daos earlier than the Heavenly Emperor.

The Heavenly Emperor introduced Honglu into the Heavenly Dao, but this process went unnoticed, leading people to believe it was a stroke of luck or opportunity on the path of the Great Dao.

The nine members of the Great Dao have different personalities. Hongyi is cold, Hongyang is arrogant, and Honglu is full of killing intent. They have one thing in common: they are extremely competitive and believe that they will become the strongest.

The other six Hongs are scattered throughout the chaos, all in the process of brewing.

With the emergence of the Nine Great Birds, the Great Dao will usher in an unprecedented transformation.

Although Gu An had not yet witnessed the sage stirring up trouble, the future was always changing, and what he needed to do was surpass the sage and reach a higher realm before that happened.

Amidst the golden light of the Heavenly Dao, Hong Lu began to stretch his body, continuously exhaling scorching flames from his mouth.

After a while, his eyes began to move, and he was looking at the figure standing by the pit in the distance.

The path of the Great Way fell silent.

The golden light of the Heavenly Dao that enveloped Honglu began to dissipate, revealing Honglu's body, which was clad in black armor and radiated a cold light.

"Are you kidding me? Reaching the Great Luo Immortal realm so easily..."

The Taoist in green robes beside the True Origin Ancestor muttered to himself, his face extremely grim.

How much they sacrificed and how many hardships they overcame to reach this level of enlightenment, each tribulation a near-death experience.

Hong Lu, on the other hand, did not undergo any tribulation. It was as if heaven and earth were fulfilling his wish and helping him achieve the Great Luo Immortal realm.

Not only the Taoist in green, but other Dao Grand Immortals were also deeply affected and felt jealous when they looked at Hong Lu.

Hong Lu slowly shifted his gaze to the Purple Sky Great Dao Emperor in the sky. His intuition told him that this being was the most powerful being here, and his instinct made him want to conquer this being.

The onlookers tensed up when they saw Hong Lu staring at the Heavenly Dao Supreme, unsure of what this newly born powerhouse was going to do.

The Purple Sky Great Dao Emperor frowned slightly. Hong Lu's gaze made him very uncomfortable, as if he had become prey.

Most importantly, Honglu failed to notice the Heavenly Lord of Merit and Virtue.

What does this mean?
This suggests that the Heavenly Lord of Merit and Virtue is likely stronger than him, so much so that Hong Lu did not even notice the existence of the Heavenly Lord of Merit and Virtue.
