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

Chapter 1072 Heavenly Emperor Ranking
"My presence here represents my stance, but I won't do everything myself. Let the cultivators of Chaos handle it for now."

Gu An said casually, no longer minding revealing his true feelings, because the attacking saint did not make him feel threatened.

After hearing this, the Great Xuan Yin Ruler fell silent, and he couldn't help but think of himself.

It seems fortunate that he was suppressed here.

If Gu An had murderous intent, he would probably already be dead.

Do you know why I spared your life?

Gu An suddenly asked a question that made the Great Xuan Yin Ruler nervous, but he really wanted to know.

"Why?"

"Although you are arrogant and cruel, you don't actually want to kill Zhang Buku and the others. You make them submit in the hope that they will serve you. You never mistreat those who serve you. I have seen all your past actions. You came to the Heavenly Dao only to become stronger. After you control the cycle of reincarnation in this Dao universe, you will not cause bloodshed. You will go to the next Dao universe."

Gu An's answer made the Great Xuan Yin Ruler realize something, but he was also a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and said, "Actually, I'm not that kind."

"What you think in your heart is one thing, and what you do is another. As far as the facts are concerned, what you think is not important. You just don't realize that you don't like killing. You think it's arrogance and disdain for killing."

These words made the Great Xuan Yin Ruler fall into deep thought.

He began to ponder what kind of existence he was.

He was able to become a saint because of his exceptional talent and comprehension, as well as the fortuitous inheritance of the Great Dao of a certain Dao realm. His path to sainthood was incredibly smooth, which made him arrogant and contemptuous of all living beings below the saint level.

Over the years, as he traveled with Gu An, the Great Xuan Yin Sovereign would observe him like the Hong Qian Ancestor, and he felt that Gu An must have a deeper meaning. Now he realized his own shortcomings.

A sage understands everything, and this should include himself.

Perhaps this is why he is inferior to the Heavenly Emperor.

Being inferior to others at the same level deeply stung the heart of the Great Xuan Yin Ruler. Although he accepted his current identity, it did not mean he had given up.

He even wanted to surpass Gu An!

Gu An continued fishing, while the Great Xuan Yin Ruler began to contemplate himself; the two did not disturb each other.

The waves crashed against the mountainside below, as if heaven and earth were playing music together, creating a harmonious scene.

……

After a thousand years of preaching by the Heavenly Emperor, a new era has begun for all the heavens and the human world.

At this moment, inside the Lingxiao Palace.

Hundreds of listeners sat cross-legged in the hall, maintaining a certain distance from each other, their rows creating a beautiful scene.

The Heavenly Emperor sat on his throne, looking down at the listeners with an expressionless face, but his heart was filled with satisfaction.

His destiny is still full of wonder, capable of nurturing so many extraordinary talents, some of whom even possess comprehension no less than his own.

The sermon had ended, and the listeners awoke one after another. Those who awoke first observed the other listeners.

Even though the Heavenly Emperor didn't say it explicitly, the listeners tacitly sensed the competitive atmosphere.

Ji Xiaoyu opened her eyes and found that many people had already woken up. She frowned slightly. She couldn't tell whether waking up first was good or bad. But no matter who woke up first or last, or how they were ranked, she was in the middle. This meant that she was mediocre here, which made her feel depressed.

The True Origin Ancestor was also observing. Although he was very humble, he was full of confidence in his own comprehension, but this time, he felt the pressure.

His gaze fell on Hongyi, Hongqian Ancestor, Hongxuan, and Emperor Hongyang. The comprehension of these four people was terrifying. He could feel their power during the listening process.

Hongqian, the patriarch, sat in the first row, stroking his beard and smiling, slightly surprised.

Hongyi's comprehension was stronger than he had expected.

Hongyi before his reincarnation wasn't this powerful.

As expected of that senior, even the comprehension of the Great Dao Nine Heavens could be improved. Ancestor Hongqian was very pleased with this, not so much because he liked Hongyi, but because he was happy with his own choice.

The main hall was silent; the listeners dared not and had no inclination to communicate.

The Heavenly Emperor spoke, "You should all remember that I intend to establish thirty-two Heavenly Emperors."

Upon hearing this, all the listeners became alert.

For people like Hongyi, power is not important; what they care about is the significance represented by the Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors.

This signifies that they stood out in this sermon and were recognized by the Heavenly Emperor.

"The Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors will possess the real power of the Heavenly Emperor, be able to determine the immortals and gods, wield the power of killing and killing, protect the Heavenly Way, and guard Yin and Yang."

The Heavenly Emperor continued, and such power made all the immortals and gods breathe heavily, while the powerful beings who did not belong to the Heavenly Court felt the Heavenly Emperor's great importance.

This time, the Primordial Holy Path benefited all the listeners, and they developed a sense of respect for the Heavenly Emperor. Even Ancestor Hongqian admired the Heavenly Emperor's magnanimity.

The Heavenly Emperor was truly speaking the Way of the Sage. Even if he didn't speak of the Way of the Sage, he could still win people's hearts, but he still spoke of it without holding anything back.

"I will continue to preach. The four who make the most progress in each preaching session will become Heavenly Emperors. After the eight preaching sessions, the thirty-two Heavenly Emperors will return to their positions."

The Heavenly Emperor surveyed all the listeners and spoke in a calm tone.

The listeners felt nervous and began to look forward to seeing who the first four Heavenly Emperors would be.

"The four Heavenly Emperors who preached the first time were Hongyi, Hongqian, Hongyang, and Zhenyuan."

The Heavenly Emperor, not wanting to keep anyone in suspense, quickly spoke.

These words caused an uproar in the Lingxiao Palace.

Ancestor Hongqian frowned; he was actually standing behind Hongyi in line.

The listeners focused their attention on the four people, their eyes filled with awe and envy.

The White Spirit Demon Emperor leaned on Lu Lingjun's shoulder, marveling to himself, "Three people with the surname Hong, one of whom is an emperor. Who are the other two?"

Previously, the Heavenly Emperor had driven the immortals and gods away from the Lingxiao Palace. However, on their way back, both Lu Lingjun and Bai Ling Demon Emperor received the Heavenly Emperor's Golden Token, which made them extremely excited.

Unfortunately, their cultivation levels were too low, so they could only sit in the last row, like supporting characters.

Lu Lingjun's gaze fell on Hongyi, and this woman made her feel that she was unfathomable.

To be able to overpower all the heroes while being a woman is truly remarkable.

An Xin and Ji Xiaoyu looked at Hongyi's back and felt the same admiration, while their hearts were filled with curiosity about Hongyi's background.

"May I ask Your Majesty, is there a ranking of the Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors?" Xuanqing Star Lord asked, voicing a question many had wanted to ask.

The Heavenly Emperor spoke, "The order in which I read it is the ranking."

boom!
Hongyi suddenly became the most attention-grabbing person in the hall, and the faces of Ancestor Hongqian and Emperor Hongyang turned ugly.

The True Origin Ancestor was neither disappointed nor angry, remaining calm and composed.

Hongyi remained expressionless and said, "Once the Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors return to their positions, anyone who disagrees with me may come and challenge me."

Upon hearing these words, all the listeners sensed her temperament.

So crazy!

Previously, Hongyi was taciturn and didn't like to talk, making it difficult for others to understand her personality. But now everyone has felt her sharp edge.
