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

Chapter 1045: Peak
"Grandmaster, who is that woman?"

Su Han noticed Hongyi's arrival and asked cautiously.

The woman's aura was almost nonexistent, and her cultivation level was completely undetectable. Moreover, she didn't take them seriously. How could he not be worried?
Gu An did not answer him, but instead focused his gaze on the black lotus.

This black lotus appears calm, but it already possesses sentience and will take human form today.

The reason for this is due to Hongxuan's aura. The Nine Great Daos can sense each other, and Zhongtian is not a big deal for them.

Hongyi didn't greet Gu An; they were too familiar with each other. Although she hadn't expected Gu An to be there, she wasn't worried that he would get in her way.

Gu An will only help her.

The pile of rocks fell silent, which made Su Han and Long Teng tense up; they could not ignore Hong Yi.

This woman was the most beautiful woman they had ever seen, but she also made them feel incredibly oppressed and dangerous, as if she could wipe them out at any moment.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Su Han and his companion subconsciously turned their heads to look. They discovered a figure standing on a huge rock in another direction. It was an old man in a gray robe who looked very ordinary, like an old Taoist priest in the mortal world. Compared to Hong Yi, his aura was worlds apart.

Even so, Su Han and the other two did not dare to underestimate him.

The fact that this person is here at this moment at least shows that he has the same vision as Gu An, so his strength is naturally not bad either.

After glancing at Gu An, the gray-robed elder also focused his gaze on the black lotus.

Gu An did not take this future threat to the Heavenly Dao seriously.

This person was none other than Ancestor Hongqian, the Supreme Dao Emperor, and at the perfected stage.

With Gu An not taking action, only the Heavenly Emperor could threaten him, so he was relaxed and didn't take Gu An seriously either.

Hongyi looked at Ancestor Hongqian, her brows furrowed and her eyes filled with hostility, but unfortunately, Ancestor Hongqian did not respond to her gaze.

Time continues to pass.

Su Han and his companion clearly sensed that something was amiss, and the black lotus began to emit a strange aura that made them uneasy.

About half a day later, the black lotus began to tremble, and ripples appeared on the lake surface, which immediately invigorated Su Han and Long Teng.

"Hongyuan, it's time to wake up."

Ancestor Hongqian spoke, his tone indifferent, as if issuing a command.

Upon hearing this, Black Lotus trembled even more violently.

At this moment, Hongyi also spoke up.

"Hongqian, do you really want to control him?"

Faced with her question, Ancestor Hongqian did not look away and said, "I was just guiding him."

boom!
An extremely terrifying aura erupted, instantly turning the nearby rocks into dust. Hongyi's red robes fluttered violently as she stared coldly at Ancestor Hongqian, her killing intent barely contained.

Faced with this terrifying aura, Su Han and the other person's expressions changed drastically, and they subconsciously moved closer to Gu An.

The rocks beneath Hongqian's feet were shattered, but he didn't care. In his eyes, Hongyi was just a child, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. If he didn't have other plans for Hongyi, he would have destroyed Hongyi long ago.

He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing the black lotus.

Hongyi narrowed his eyes, and in an instant, the world suddenly darkened, the sky turned pitch black, and countless stars rapidly lit up. Upon closer inspection, they were sword shadows, their tips pointing directly at Ancestor Hongqian. Behind these sword shadows, wisps of gray mist emerged and disappeared into the darkness, their sword aura intensifying.

Su Han and Long Teng's expressions changed drastically, because they sensed many streams of Dao aura, making them feel that the Great Dao River was surging towards them.

So strong!

What kind of magical power is this?
Su Han and the other felt an indescribable sense of panic. The reason they felt this way was that Hongyi's supernatural power had isolated the Heavenly Dao's fortune. Just as the beings of the Heavenly Dao would feel intense discomfort or even go into demonic possession if they went into chaos.

Ancestor Hongqian glanced at Hongyi and said, "Your comprehension is quite remarkable, even more outstanding than in your previous lives. However, even if you do not agree with my views, why bother me? Don't tell me you pity him."

Hongyi stared intently at him and said, "There is no pity. I just arrived first, and I don't like having my prey stolen."

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Hongqian's expression turned strange. He then smiled, slowly turned around, and with a wave of his hand, the countless sword shadows vanished, and the world instantly returned to brightness. Su Han and the other man were like drowning people who had just come ashore, and they immediately began to gasp for breath. Their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at Hongyi.

Who exactly is this woman?
Su Han had visited the dojos of many powerful figures and witnessed the supernatural powers of Dao Ji Luo Xian, but none of them had ever given him such a sense of oppression.

Not to mention Long Teng, he felt that even the God of Destruction was no match for this woman.

Seeing that Ancestor Hongqian casually dispelled his supernatural power, Hongyi narrowed his eyes.

She was certain that she was no match for her opponent.

She was actually testing him. Ancestor Hongqian had once pulled them, the Primordial Wills, into a mysterious space to communicate. He was the first Primordial Will to do so, so she had always been wary of him.

"Why do you have to test me? If I don't make things difficult for you, you should keep your tail between your legs and cultivate in the shadows. You are not Hongyang, who has the protection of the Heavenly Emperor."

Ancestor Hongqian stared coldly at Hongyi, and an aura far more vast than Hongyi's erupted from him.

In an instant, darkness engulfed the world. Su Han and his companion looked around in panic and found that even the ground beneath their feet had disappeared. Apart from them, all that remained was the black lotus.

When Hong Qian faced Hong Yi and saw that she remained calm, he couldn't help but ask jokingly, "Are you truly fearless, or are you just putting on a brave face? Now you should understand the difference between you and me."

Hongyi didn't answer him, but instead looked at Gu An and asked in a detached tone, "Are you still going to watch the show?"

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Hongqian's expression immediately became unnatural, and he turned to look at Gu An in the distance.

Su Han and Long Teng were taken aback. Did this woman know their grandmaster and ancestors?
Gu An smiled and said, "What do you mean by 'watching the show'? With me here, who can hurt you in the slightest?"

Upon hearing these words, the pressure on Su Han and the other person vanished instantly. They couldn't explain why, but they rarely heard Gu An speak so forcefully, and they couldn't help but look at Gu An with excitement.

Hongyi's lips curled up slightly, barely, and she didn't respond.

Hongqian Ancestor stared at Gu An and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Gu An laughed and said, "It seems you are not omniscient. I originally did not want to deal with you, but unfortunately, you had a wicked idea. In your myriad destinies, you chose a path of no return."

Hongqian Ancestor's expression turned solemn, not because he was frightened by Gu An's words, but because he was unable to touch Gu An even when he tried to approach him with his Dao intent.

It was as if Gu An didn't exist at all; he was just hallucinating.

How could this be possible?

He is a being at the pinnacle, just below the saints!
