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

Chapter 1039 Saint Venerable Luo Xu
"Transcending the mortal realm? What does that mean?"

Gu An looked at the young monk with a smile and asked, his face full of a mocking smile.

The young monk had retreated to the edge of the pavilion. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at Gu An, and his body was even trembling. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Gu An picked up the wine pot, poured himself a drink, and asked, "And who are you?"

The two met by chance and were chased by monsters. They escaped death and came to this place to relax. The young monk never expected that this scholar, who was so weak that he could not even kill a chicken, was actually a being beyond gods and immortals.

Gu An wouldn't casually meet someone. The reason he met this young monk was because the young monk had a karmic connection with him in his past life.

The young monk was the reincarnation of his junior brother, Wuxin. Before Gu An left the Heavenly Spirit World, Wuxin was still alive and well. However, as the legend of Zhongtian spread, too many cultivators wanted to go to Zhongtian. He also had the idea. Unfortunately, no matter what he did, he could not find Zhongtian. In the end, he thought of reincarnation. He wanted to improve his aptitude by cultivating the Innate Reincarnation Technique.

After countless reincarnations, Wuxin was finally reborn in Zhongtian, but his memories had not yet returned. He only retained his cultivation insights from his previous life. He appeared to be an ordinary person, but in reality, his soul was incredibly powerful.

Wu Xin was able to be reborn in Zhongtian not because of his own efforts.

Seeing that he was suffering through the cycle of reincarnation, Gu An lent him a helping hand.

However, after descending to Zhongtian, Wuxin experienced a change, as he was targeted by a force from outside the chaos.

It wasn't just him; countless beings within the Heavenly Dao were being targeted by that power.

That power was none other than the Great Boundless Demon Ancestor.

The saint's actions are becoming more and more frequent, and the day he descends upon chaos is not far off.

He has been plotting for countless years, planting countless pawns within the Heavenly Dao. Now, he is spreading opportunities far and wide, wanting to develop followers, and then swallow up the Heavenly Dao's fortune, find the Primordial Chaos, replace it, and seek the opportunity for the Primordial Ancestor to transcend to sainthood.

Upon discovering that a sage had been born from chaos, the Great Boundless Demon Ancestor was not afraid; on the contrary, he became even more anxious.

Not only him, but other saints were the same.

However, the power of a sage could not easily break through the barrier of the universe, so they had to use various methods and wait for the right opportunity.

"who am I?"

The young monk's expression changed slightly, and he was unable to answer.

He traveled the world in search of this answer. Although he did not cultivate immortality, he possessed a powerful force within him. When he was young, he accidentally revealed this power in a temple and injured his senior brother. When this power surged, he felt a strong obsession.

Later, his master told him that he needed to travel the world to find his true self.

During his travels, he gradually discovered the art of fortune-telling. He could see into the life and death of ordinary people and predict their fate.

This was the first time he had calculated a destiny that would lead to extraordinary enlightenment.

It's strange, even though it was his first time, he blurted out "transcending the ordinary and entering sainthood".

Now that he's calmed down, he himself finds it all very strange.

What is transcendence and sainthood?

Why did he instinctively feel fear?

"The reason you are afraid is because there is something else inside you that is afraid; that is its emotion. As for transcending the ordinary and becoming a saint, that is a state of mind, a level."

Gu An said with a smile, then raised his bowl and drank the wine.

The young monk felt uneasy. He was horrified to find that his body was out of his control, and he instinctively wanted to turn around and leave.

at this time.

Suddenly, Gu An threw the wine bowl at him, the wine splashing onto his face even faster, instantly sobering him up and giving him a feeling of relief. He regained control of his body and looked at Gu An in astonishment, finding Gu An's eyes had become sharp.

What kind of look is that?
Even though the young monk had seen emperors, generals, and reclusive immortals, he had never seen such an oppressive gaze that made him want to kneel down.

He noticed that Gu An's gaze wasn't fixed on him. He turned his head to look behind him, but before he had fully turned around, he caught a glimpse of a dark figure out of the corner of his eye, which startled him so much that his pupils dilated.

It was a black figure, like a shadow, that looked similar to the young monk.

The young monk was so frightened that he ran to Gu An and came up behind him, then looked at the dark figure in terror.

"He... came out of my body?"

The young monk asked in a trembling voice, realizing that the sudden feeling of relaxation he had just experienced was genuine; it turned out that the hidden power and obsession within him came from another person.

In broad daylight, the dark figure appeared even more terrifying, filling him with lingering fear.

It turns out he wasn't a chosen one; he was simply possessed by evil spirits.

The dark figure opened his eyes, staring at Gu An with bloodshot eyes. He asked through gritted teeth, "Chaos Saint, the Great Dao Nine Primordial is still here. A saint should not be born in Chaos. Who are you and from which realm do you come?"

Gu An looked at this Supreme Dao Fusion Emperor from another universe and chuckled softly, "You're not a saint, how dare you assert that the entity behind you is completely honest with you?"

The saints outside the Chaos each used their own methods. The Great Boundless Demon Ancestor's method was to send living beings into the Heavenly Dao, spread opportunities widely, and accumulate believers. Other saints also had their own methods. For example, the Supreme Dao-Merging Emperor in front of us was sent in by a saint through the Great Dao River.

That sage was named Luo Xu Saint Venerable, a sage no less than the Great Boundless Demon Ancestor. He created his own Dao Universe, which was more prosperous than Chaos, at least unlike Chaos and the Heavenly Dao which were divided into regions.

"What do you mean?"

The shadowy figure asked in a deep voice. Knowing that the other party was a saint, he was filled with despair. The reason he did not run away was because he could not escape. To be precise, he was currently unable to move.

Gu An narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you think the karmic connections of the sages are so coincidental that your encounter with him and me is your misfortune?"

Upon hearing this, the shadowy figure trembled, and anger flashed in its eyes.

He understood that he had become a pawn of that saint, and a discarded one at that.

"Fellow Daoist, what's your name?"

A vast, ancient voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, startling the young monk who looked up and around, but could not find the source of the voice at all.

Gu An said, "Don't bother looking for him, he's not in this area."

He changed the subject, saying, "My name is Meng Lang. May I ask your real name, friend?"

"Reckless? Now that you've become a saint, why not use your saintly name?"

"A name is just a symbol; for me, I only need one."

"Fellow Daoist is indeed true to his nature. I am the Holy Venerable Luo Xu. Do you know what kind of predicament you are currently in?"

Gu An smiled and asked, "It seems you've been targeted by you, fellow Daoist."

The young monk was so nervous he dared not breathe, and the dark figure was equally nervous, unsure if he had any chance of survival.

“If I wanted to be your enemy, I wouldn’t have come after this kid. The predicament you face is far beyond your expectations. Even I can only glimpse a part of it. The creation that appeared in the Chaos before has alarmed many saints in the darkness. The Chaos has become the most conspicuous existence in the darkness.”

Luo Xu Saint Venerable's tone was indifferent, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
