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

Chapter 1023 The First Demon-Slaying Army of the Heavenly River

Everything happened so suddenly that when Zhu Xi realized what had happened, her eyes widened. Before she could think any further, a terrifying force hurled her into the tower.

boom--

She crashed into the tower wall, her consciousness almost plunging into darkness. She felt as if her Dao Fruit was about to be shattered, her soul trembling, and she was in extreme pain.

She lay on the ground, struggling to lift her head, but could no longer see the figure of the Great Yellow Heavenly God.

The platform where they had been standing was now bathed in intense light, and she vaguely saw a figure appear and walk toward her in the light.

"How is this possible... What is that...?"

Zhu Xi was filled with fear and her mind was in chaos. She could not accept that such a powerful Great Yellow Heaven God had vanished into thin air in front of her.

impossible!
Is it an illusion?
Zhu Xi subconsciously thought this, but her long-cultivated vigilance calmed her down. She had to consider the worst-case scenario in the current situation.

The being capable of instantly annihilating the Great Yellow Heaven God was far beyond her reach.

Fortunately, she was not alone. There were countless immortals and gods in this tower, and the Great Yellow Heaven God could be resurrected with the help of the Heavenly Dao's fortune.

She stood up, took out her magical weapon, and prepared for battle.

Streaks of silver light appeared before her, quickly coalescing into the figures of immortals and gods. Their forms varied; some revealed their Dharma forms, as large as small mountains, while others stood on mounts or lotus thrones, their bodies surrounded by Daoist intent. They all faced the mysterious figure that emerged from the intense light.

"The Heaven and Earth Exquisite Mysterious Pagoda, such a supreme treasure, is too much of a pity to leave it to an immortal."

A hoarse voice rang out, filled with contempt and a chilling killing intent, making Zhu Xi and all the immortals and gods shudder.

Such an arrogant tone made Zhu Xi even more uneasy.

Having been in Chaos for so long, I'm finally going to witness its wickedness.
"presumptuous!"

"How dare you demons judge the Heavenly Court's most precious treasures?"

"Hmph, you fiend, tell me your name now!"

"Stepping into the Mysterious Tower is a path to death!"

The voices of the gods and immortals followed, angrily rebuking the mysterious demon. They were fearless and maintained their divine authority.

The demonic figure did not respond, nor did it change its pace. However, its aura grew stronger and stronger, causing the entire Exquisite Tower of Heaven and Earth to tremble.

……

Gu An stood on Fangcun Island, gazing at the sea. Sunlight shone on him, and the sea breeze caressed his face. He was in a very good mood.

"Tsk tsk, truly blessed with great fortune, even in the midst of chaos, they were able to turn danger into safety."

Gu An exclaimed, his eyes reflecting the image of Zhu Xi fleeing.

The one who attacked the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Tower was a Primordial Immortal of Profound Qi. He killed a Supreme Immortal in one move and then slaughtered the immortals and gods inside the tower. This Primordial Immortal of Profound Qi had the ability to devour the fortune of the Heavenly Dao. All those immortals and gods perished and could not be resurrected.

In the chaos, Zhu Xi was swept into a spacetime rift and then enveloped by the power of the Great Dao, thus escaping the pursuit of the Xuanqi Hunyuan Immortal.

She was able to withstand the fatal injury thanks to a supreme treasure that she couldn't use. It was an inheritance left behind in the Great Thousand World by the ancient Heavenly Dao Supreme, which she obtained by chance and carried with her. It saved her life at a critical moment.

As for being enveloped by the power of the Great Dao in the spacetime rift, that was purely coincidental; at least Gu An did not see any special cause or effect helping her.

According to Gu An's deduction, Zhu Xi will follow that power of the Great Dao into a broken world, a world forgotten by chaos, which was once glorious and still retains vitality and variables.

Having survived this calamity, Zhu Xi's destiny has changed. In the future, she will be able to achieve the Mysterious Qi Primordial Immortal realm, and not just at the initial stage.

In the future, her fate may change again. This made Gu An sigh that the variables in the Great Dao are hard to grasp. He could understand this. His ability to become a saint proved that a saint cannot cover up everything. There will always be unseen variables happening.

Gu An withdrew his gaze and looked down.

In the woods on one side of Fangcun Island, the True Origin Ancestor was meditating under a tree.

True Origin Ancestor's comprehension was indeed extraordinary. He quickly calmed his mind and even gained some enlightenment as a result.

Being able to glimpse the cause and effect of a sage, the True Origin Ancestor's aptitude is definitely among the best below the Nine Great Daos, and the same applies to the Heavenly Realm.

In Gu An's view, the True Origin Ancestor could very well become the savior of the Heavenly Dao, and even change the Heavenly Court.

Unfortunately, the sage is approaching at an increasingly rapid pace, and Gu An is partly to blame for this.

The sages outside the Chaos have already sensed the presence of sages within the Chaos. Fearing further unforeseen events, they launched an attack on the Chaos ahead of schedule.

Sages are different from ordinary people. If a sage is not careful, the world will change drastically. Even if they approach chaos, the time it takes for a sage is still very long for ordinary people.

After observing from the cliff for a while, Gu An took a step and vanished into thin air.

He returned to the chaotic battlefield and fought alongside Lu Lingjun.

This celestial army, personally led by Marshal Zhitian, won numerous victories and became famous throughout the Heavenly Court. It was then appointed by the Heavenly Emperor as the First Demon-Slaying Army of the Heavenly River.

Although half of the members of this army have been replaced, and many gods have even perished, the surviving gods have undergone a transformation, and their fortune has increased extremely rapidly.

In the future, once the war ends, the Heavenly Soldiers of the First Demon-Slaying Army of the Heavenly River will at least reach the rank of Immortal Lord, and may even give rise to a Heavenly Dao Supreme.

The one with the best chance of becoming the Supreme Ruler of Heaven is Marshal Zhitian, and the Heavenly Emperor plans to give him an important position.

When Gu An appeared at the First Demon-Slaying Army of the Heavenly River, the battle had not yet begun, and the immortals and gods were on their way.

To this day, Marshal Zhitian has not discovered Gu An's existence, but he is occasionally puzzled by it.

Even when a major battle seems doomed, it always manages to turn the tide. When under immense pressure, as long as one grits their teeth and perseveres, the pressure will inevitably drop dramatically after a period of time.

He inspected the First Demon-Slaying Army of the Heavenly River but found nothing amiss.

He could only conclude that his heavenly soldiers and generals were exceptionally talented and had extraordinary luck, enabling them to unleash even greater power in dire situations.

Indeed, there were far too many geniuses in this Heavenly Army, making him feel inferior to them.

Once this catastrophe is over, he believes that his heavenly soldiers will become the mainstay of the Heavenly Court in the next stage, and he is looking forward to it.

Marshal Zhitian walked at the forefront of the Heavenly Dao Golden Light. With each step he took, the Heavenly Dao Golden Light, carrying the First Demon-Slaying Army of the Heavenly River, would extend forward.

He appeared to be strolling leisurely, but in reality, he was using spatial magic to move forward at an extremely fast speed.

This time, they are not going to wage a defensive war; they are going to Cangming and deliver a heavy blow to it.

Marshal Zhitian was full of confidence because this time they had the support of the Heavenly Dao Supreme. He even began to look forward to the upcoming battle.

Gu An came up behind Lu Lingjun. The White Spirit Demon Emperor was wrapped around her shoulder. It was not surprised to see him arrive, nor did it warn Lu Lingjun.

It looked at Gu An with curiosity. It had been wondering recently just how strong Gu An was, and what kind of evil spirit could force him to get serious.
"You'll find out soon enough."

Gu An spoke with a smile, which stunned Bai Ling Demon Emperor. Lu Lingjun turned to look at him with a smile on her face.
