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

Chapter 1006 The Heavenly Monarch's Prestige
In a dark mountain forest, Dao Shuzun appeared out of thin air. His face was extremely ugly. He immediately sat down to meditate and began to heal his injuries.

He trembled all over, and as he began to circulate his internal energy, wisps of energy escaped from his seven orifices. He seemed to be deflated, but his body did not wither away.

for a long time.

Dao Shuzun opened his eyes, lowered his hands, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

"Such domineering causal power. Fighting against it will only make it more violent, while ignoring it will make things easier..."

Dao Shuzun muttered to himself, his face extremely grim, feeling that he would be tormented by this force of cause and effect for a long time to come.

What exactly did that person mean?
They didn't come for Honglu, nor did they kill him; could it be that they were just deliberately humiliating him?

Another figure appeared in Dao Shuzun's mind; that being had been like that before.

The plan to capture Hong Lu failed, and he had to reconsider his strategy.

"Fortunately, there is still one trace of primordial will that has not been discovered."

Dao Shuzun's expression softened slightly upon thinking of this. He raised his right hand, and a seven-colored pearl of light appeared in his palm, pulsating with spiritual energy, exquisitely beautiful.

A stream of shimmering gas escaped from the seven-colored pearl and slowly entered his body, stopping his trembling.

……

The battle between the Heavenly Lord of Merit and the Supreme Lord of the Dao spread rapidly along the Great Dao Path, and then throughout the myriad realms. The beings who came into contact with news of this battle were at least Golden Immortals.

This battle involved a supreme being of the Heavenly Dao and giants from all walks of life, making it a highly topical event. This was the first time that the name of the Heavenly Lord of Merit and Virtue had spread within the Heavenly Dao realm.

The being who could force the Heavenly Dao Supreme to bow down was easily subdued by the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Lord. It was obvious to everyone that the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Lord simply didn't want to kill him, otherwise he would already be dead.

The name of the Heavenly Lord of Merit and Virtue is renowned throughout the Heavenly Dao. All the great powers in the world have seen the potential of the Merit and Virtue Immortal lineage. Some lineages and forces have begun to pursue the Merit and Virtue Immortal, while others have begun to win him over.

Besides the Heavenly Lord of Merit and Virtue, the powerful beings of the Heavenly Dao were also very interested in Dao Shuzun and Honglu. It was too unbelievable that such a being as Dao Shuzun had no reputation whatsoever before.

And what kind of talent does Honglu possess that attracts so many powerful figures to pursue him?
If this is the case in all the heavens and myriad realms, the commotion within the Heavenly Court is even greater, because this matter involves a Heavenly Dao Supreme Being, and only the immortals and gods truly understand what the Heavenly Dao Supreme Being represents.

Gu An has established his prestige in the Heavenly Court by taking advantage of the Purple Sky Great Dao Emperor, and no immortal dares to plot against him anymore.

In the years that followed, every time Gu An returned to the Heavenly Court, he would encounter immortals and gods coming to visit him. He was too lazy to see them, so he asked Chang Ji Gong to receive them on his behalf.

The Heavenly Lord of Merit and Virtue has become a highly sought-after deity in the Heavenly Court, with various deities actively courting him, and even Emperor Hongyang sending people to him.

However, the Heavenly Emperor still did not summon Gu An.

No matter how exciting the event, it will eventually be forgotten by the people as time goes by.

A blink of an eye.

Another hundred million years have passed.

Gu An's breakthrough caused a miracle that allowed the Heavenly Dao to continue its peaceful years, but peace will eventually be broken. Chaos began to attack the Heavenly Court again, plunging the entire Heavenly Court into a tense atmosphere.

This day.

Gu An returned to the Wushi Dao Temple from the Heavenly Court. He walked through the fields, enjoying the scenery along the way, and saw disciples everywhere attaining enlightenment.

Even the weakest disciple of Wushi has entered the enlightenment stage. He no longer needs to cultivate by absorbing qi. Understanding the nature of heaven and earth is more important to him.

An Xin, Lü Xian, Zui, Xue Yu Da Sheng, and Tian Yao Er have all entered the Great Luo Immortal Realm of Opening Heaven. Their breakthroughs have greatly encouraged the other disciples. Their breakthroughs were not only due to their own efforts and comprehension, but also inseparable from Gu An's assistance.

The higher Gu An's cultivation level, the more he could do, but he didn't reveal this to avoid discouraging his disciple.

It is worth mentioning that Zhongtian is not peaceful now, with many evil races and ominous forces emerging in the world.

This has made the name of this continent's pristine land even more widely known.

Gu An arrived at the fields where the Nine Heavens Celestial Lord, the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor, and others were working. Many years had passed, and the powerful figures working here had changed, but the Nine Heavens Celestial Lord and the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor had remained here.

The Nine Heavenly Lord was there to avoid calamity, while the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor stayed behind to comprehend the Great Dao.

Both of their names contain the character "nine," suggesting that some kind of Daoist principle is guiding them.

Although the workers have changed, the total number of people here has increased.

The vast majority of them were captured by Gu An, so they were very nervous when they saw him.

The most composed were the Nine Heavenly Lords and the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor, especially the Nine Heavenly Lords. Transformed into a black panther, he squatted on the grass with his head held high, exuding an air of arrogance. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he was Gu An's confidant.

Gu An stopped and looked at the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor, and said with a smile, "Recently, another peerless genius has appeared in Zhongtian. It is said that he has also swept through the Three Thousand Great Worlds and has come to Zhongtian to find opponents and challenge the limits. Do you want to go out and see him?"

The Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor, who looked like a country girl, shook her head slightly and said, "I am no longer the person I used to be. I don't care about these empty titles. I care more about my own path."

She also has eight avatars, so even if her main body stays here, she can still learn about the world through her avatars.

As the world continues to evolve, she has come to see through many things.

Even if one is invincible for a lifetime, there will always be a new invincible one.

Moreover, truly invincible beings do not appear in the eyes of the common people, just like the Master Wushi, who lives in seclusion here and is unfathomable.

After regaining her freedom, the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor felt the Boundless Dao Field more deeply. She could sense the Dao intent here, and her intuition told her that staying here to cultivate would be the right choice for her.

"The Great Dao takes nine as its ultimate number. Your Dao is divided into nine parts. It may seem slow, but it is not necessarily wrong. You are walking more steadily than others."

Gu An smiled at the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor, and then continued walking towards Mount Wuzhong.

Upon hearing this, the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor's eyes lit up. She had been troubled by this matter recently, doubting whether the path she had taken was wrong. Now, with the affirmation of the Primordial Ancestor, she would be more determined and more confident.

The Nine Heavens Lord kept his eyes on Gu An, not daring to approach.

Although he chose to stay, he always held Gu An in awe and didn't even have the courage to speak to Gu An. Fortunately, Gu An never made things difficult for him, and he was quite content when he wasn't facing Gu An.

The other laborers looked at the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor with their own thoughts. Many of them still harbored hostility towards Wushi and remained stubbornly unenlightened. Therefore, they were very disdainful of the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor's choice.

By the time Gu An returned to the Wuzhong Mountain courtyard, dusk had fallen.

Inside the courtyard, two people were arguing; it was Lü Xian and An Zizai.

“Although Chen Chuan left Wushi early on, he is still from Wushi. If he runs into trouble, it will be a disgrace to Wushi. We cannot sit idly by!” Lu Xian said, glaring.

An Ziyi said with a serious expression, "So many disciples of the Wushi Sect have gone out. If we were to manage them all, what would our current choices mean?"
