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

Chapter 1019 Savior

Upon hearing Gu An's instructions, Zui began to carefully examine the mysterious cause and effect attached to the Great Dao.

At first, he only saw fog.

He continued to peer in, expanding his vision, wanting to see the true nature of cause and effect.

After a while.

Zui suddenly frowned, his Immortal Emperor eyes became empty, his body trembled slightly, and he appeared stiff.

Gu An did not immediately take action, but let Zui experience it properly, even if it was a painful experience, so that it would broaden his horizons.

He continued to gaze ahead, seemingly admiring the magnificent landscape, but in reality, he was trying to discern the path to enlightenment.

The power of chaos has invaded the Heavenly Dao. Instead of massacring the people, they spread their inheritances and used the Dao of chaos to dilute the fortune of the Heavenly Dao. The path of the Great Dao has become a battleground for inheritors, and various kinds of Great Dao fortunes have emerged. The Great Dao Emperor and the Primordial Dao Emperor are no longer the first choice for cultivators.

Low-level cultivators have no interest in the dangers of the Heavenly Dao; their own personal troubles are enough to give them headaches. They need to seize every opportunity to become stronger and prolong their lifespan.

Various lineages emerged within the Heavenly Dao, intensifying the struggles among the myriad realms. For some beings, this was a golden age, but for many more, it was a dark age, filled with despair and oppression.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Gu An raised his hand and placed it on Zui's right shoulder.

In an instant, Sin's eyes cleared, he awoke as if from a dream, gasping for breath, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"Master...I..."

Zui turned to look at Gu An, so excited that he was incoherent. For him, he had just endured an incredibly long period of torment, which had deeply impacted his mind and body.

Gu An looked at him without saying a word, waiting for him to calm down.

As his emotions subsided, once he was completely calm, he took a deep breath, looked up at Gu An, and said, "Master, I saw a figure. It was enormous, and I can hardly describe it. The pressure it exerted on me surpassed even the origin of the Great Dao. I could feel its will; it wanted to devour me, devour the Great Dao, devour everything..."

As he spoke, a look of pain appeared on his face. The feeling he had just experienced still made his heart pound, and he even regretted trying to peek into the Great Dao.

"Master, what exactly is that being? Does the Heavenly Court know about it?"

Zui looked at Gu An and asked cautiously.

He felt that the figure he had just seen was the most terrifying existence, the greatest enemy of the entire Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Court is currently restrained by the forces of chaos, and no more terrifying entity has been detected invading the Great Dao within the Heavenly Court.

Gu An shook his head and said, "I don't know either. There are heavens beyond heavens. No one can see everything. There must be unknown powerful beings beyond the Great Dao, and there may be places even more distant than chaos."

"You don't need to worry too much. The Great Dao is not so easy to devour. You still have time to become stronger. Perhaps you can become a savior."

A smile spread across his face, his expression full of anticipation.

Upon hearing this, Zui's panic subsided. He scratched his head and hesitated, "Can I really do it?"

“You were born extraordinary, possessing great fortune and profound karma, and you have also received my true teachings. If you can’t do it, frankly, I can’t think of anyone who can,” Gu An said in a deep tone.

These words caused a surge of heat within Zui's body, and an indescribable power rose from his chest, rushing straight to the top of his head, making him feel as if his whole body was on fire, extremely excited.

"Master, I will definitely not let you down!" Zui said firmly.

Gu An followed up, saying, "Instead of wasting time fighting, why not spend more time cultivating? After all, you're not on the path of combat, don't you think?"

Zui nodded in deep agreement and said, "I really can't waste time."

The new mission fell on his shoulders, putting him under pressure but also filling him with anticipation. "This matter cannot be told to anyone else, including the other second-generation disciples," Gu An said earnestly, nodding solemnly.

He would never tell anyone, for fear of affecting the other disciples' cultivation!
The two chatted for a while before Zui took his leave, eager to return to his cultivation.

As the sun sets and the moon rises, the days pass swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, a century has passed.

On the same cliff, Gu An and Yi Qingshan stood side by side. Under Gu An's guidance, Yi Qingshan peered into the Great Dao and felt fear.

"Among all the disciples, only you have this potential. Perhaps you don't realize it yourself, but I can see it. Are you willing to take on the responsibility of a savior?" Gu An looked at Yi Qingshan, whose face was ashen, and asked seriously.

Yi Qingshan snapped out of his daze, took a deep breath, and said, "Of course I'm willing. I will do my best, but I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, Master."

Gu An smiled and said, "As long as you work hard, I believe you will succeed. That's why I chose you in the first place."

The usually composed Yi Qingshan suddenly became excited; he even knelt down and bowed to Gu An.

"This matter cannot be told to anyone else, including Lin Chuan and the others, understand?"

Gu An spoke earnestly, and Yi Qingshan nodded solemnly in response.

Yi Qingshan is the reincarnation of Lu Jiujia, Gu An's junior brother. In order to take him as his disciple, Gu An also took Lin Chuan, Cheng Meng, Gu Changsheng, and Gu Chengdao, who were traveling with him, as his disciples. They founded the Qiankun Sect in the Tianling Great World. After the Qiankun Sect was powerful for a period of time, it dissipated, while the five of them continued to follow Gu An in cultivation.

After assigning the missions, Gu An let Yi Qingshan leave.

A year later, Lin Chuan came to Gu An's side and also received a mission.

Gu An assigned missions to each of his disciples in this way, encouraging them to cultivate and reducing their thoughts of going out to fight.

Without his protection, these disciples would not have been able to survive in the Chaos Battlefield.

however.

When Gu An finally made arrangements for An Xin, An Xin was initially quite pleased. However, when she heard that he forbade her to tell the other disciples, she suddenly became alert.

“Master, you don’t say this to every disciple, do you?” Anxin questioned.

Gu An said with a stern face, "How can you think of Master like that? You doubt how much Master values ​​you?"

"If Master admits it, I will pretend I don't know and won't ask the other disciples. If Master denies it, then I will ask the other disciples myself."

Anxin stared intently at Gu An and said seriously.

Gu An rolled her eyes at her and said, "Fine, I admit it, just don't tell anyone."

Anxin immediately smiled and asked curiously, "Master, who exactly is that person? You must know his background."

She knew her master too well. If she were no match for the opponent, she would have found a place to hide long ago. How could she be so composed as she was now, and she would never allow every disciple to spy on her?

Faced with an invincible force, who would dare send their disciple to spy on them, lest they be discovered?

In An Xin's view, her master clearly did not take the existence that had corrupted the Great Dao seriously.

Gu An turned to look at the horizon and said slowly, "That is a powerful existence that transcends chaos and all living beings within the Heavenly Dao."
