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

Chapter 1084 Picture

After leaving the Lingxiao Palace, Xuanqing Xingjun was still somewhat dazed.

The heavy responsibility entrusted to him by the Heavenly Emperor put him under immense pressure. The Heavenly Emperor had imparted the method of becoming a saint to so many people, yet the Heavenly Emperor's own sainthood could not be stabilized, leaving him with irreparable serious injuries.

Xuanqing Xingjun looked at the beautiful Heavenly Realm again and suddenly felt that the Heavenly Court was full of sadness. Since ancient times, the Heavenly Court always seemed to be able to turn danger into safety, but how many Heavenly Emperors have been sacrificed?
Those corrupted immortals and gods complained about the ruthlessness of Heaven, but whose sacrifice could compare to that of the Heavenly Emperor?

Xuanqing Xingjun still remembers what the Heavenly Emperor looked like before he ascended the throne. He was a spirited young man, full of high spirits and full of expectations for everything.

The current Heavenly Emperor is domineering and majestic, but he looks no different from the Heavenly Emperors of the past. He has lost his own personality and become a Heavenly Emperor who is single-mindedly devoted to the Heavenly Way. His so-called indifference and ruthlessness are actually out of love for all living beings.

If the Heavenly Emperor were to become close to the immortals and gods, it would be a terrible blow to all living beings.

Looking back, Xuanqing Xingjun suddenly realized that the Heavenly Dao could endure not because of justice, but because of the hard work of successive Heavenly Emperors.

Xuanqing Xingjun's intuition told him that the next Heavenly Emperor was about to appear.

With a heavy heart, Xuanqing Xingjun departed from this realm.

……

After staying in that village for three days, Gu An and the Great Xuan Yin Ruler left. Before leaving, Gu An left a cultivation technique for Zhou Qiao, which greatly surprised him.

Upon returning to Zhongtian, the two walked through the mountains and fields. The Great Xuan Yin Ruler asked curiously, "What are your plans for this sage?"

He didn't know Zhou Qiao's true form, but since he came to the Heavenly Dao, he must have come with ill intentions.

Why keep such a saint alive if he isn't destroyed?

Do you intend to keep this generation to test the will of Heaven?
Gu An, riding his black horse, replied lazily, "Let's see how he acts in the future. If he does many unjust things, I will clean up the mess myself. If he turns to good, then he will find the right path."

The Great Xuan Yin Ruler pondered these words and felt that Gu An was hinting at something to him.

After the incident of the annihilation of the Holy Venerable of Punishment, he was indeed somewhat afraid and worried about Gu An, fearing that Gu An was capricious and might kill him at the slightest disagreement.

Even though he had doubts about the death of the Holy Venerable of Punishment, he didn't dare to gamble. He felt safer by maximizing his fear of Gu An.

Hongqian Ancestor suddenly appeared in front of the black horse, took the reins, and turned back to say with emotion, "Master, did you see the battle between the Heavenly Emperor and the Holy Venerable of Punishment?"

He was very excited about that battle between saints, and even though he only saw some blurry scenes, it still thrilled him.

"I watched for a while."

Gu An answered casually, and upon hearing this, Ancestor Hongqian immediately began to describe what he had seen and heard.

As a being who has reached the pinnacle of the Dao-Merging Emperor Realm, there is nothing that fascinates him more than the realm of the Saint.

That battle between sages lasted for many years, allowing those who listened to the Dao in Lingxiao to gain many insights. With the current level of Hongqian Ancestor, he did not need to go into seclusion to comprehend the Dao. Even if he was just leading Gu An's horse, he could digest those insights.

He was now eagerly anticipating Gu An's insights. As someone who transcended ordinary saints, Gu An's words would surely enlighten him.

However, Gu An did not offer any comment, which made Hong Qian Patriarch feel increasingly uncertain as he spoke.

Finally, he stopped and asked, "Master, could there be an even greater disaster in this matter?"

Will the Holy Venerable of Punishment make a comeback?

He thought it was very likely. Although he didn't know how the Heavenly Emperor returned, he felt that the Holy Venerable of Punishment was more powerful.

Besides the Holy Venerable of Punishment, there was also the Holy Venerable of Luoxu who wreaked havoc on the Heavenly Court.

He couldn't help but turn to look at Gu An, wondering if this being also felt pressured as he faced more and more saints.
Upon hearing his thoughts, the Great Xuan Yin Ruler couldn't help but laugh out loud.

“Crawler, what are you thinking? The venerable Execution Saint you revere has been killed by the master. I saw it with my own eyes.”

The Great Xuan Yin Sovereign spoke with a contemptuous tone. At this moment, his mindset had completely changed, and he had returned to his former temperament, no longer preoccupied with gains and losses, and even forgetting his pity for the Punishment Dao Saint Venerable. Upon hearing his words, Ancestor Hong Qian was stunned.

"How……"

Ancestor Hongqian subconsciously wanted to question, but he couldn't bring himself to say the second word, because he had witnessed Gu An suppressing the Great Xuan Yin Ruler.

He was immediately stunned.

The majestic figure of the Execution Saint Venerable lingered in his mind; he couldn't imagine what it would be like to see such a being crushed to death.

“By the way, the master killed him like swatting a fly. At the time, we were still drinking with mortals when the master slammed the table, and the Holy Venerable of Punishment lay on the table, looking very small. I saw his expression; he couldn’t accept this fact.”

The Great Xuan Yin Ruler continued, his tone full of mockery, which left Ancestor Hong Qian completely bewildered.

Gu An stared ahead without saying a word. He was watching Zhang Bukui and Xu You. These two had a terrible fate and were being targeted by the Sage.

However, Zhang Bukui would not be swayed. After learning that Gu An was a celestial being from the Heavenly Court, he could no longer oppose the Heavenly Court.

Therefore, Zhang Bukui prepared to lie in wait, unaware that a sage could see through people's hearts.

Now, Gu An has seen more than ten sages plotting against the Heavenly Dao.

They secretly searched for the primordial will, hoping to find an opportunity to surpass the saints.

Of course, for them, as long as they can break through their cultivation level, that's a good thing; surpassing a saint is just a dream.

They have long lifespans, they have enjoyed the ultimate bliss, they have even forgotten the dangers, and they are not afraid of the consequences of failing in the Heavenly Way.

They come to the Heavenly Dao not out of obsession, but more for a kind of enjoyment.

Their pleasures may bring disaster to the people of a region, but they don't care.

Life has lost its meaning for them, because in their eyes, all living beings are destined to die and disappear; good and evil are no longer the standards by which they act.

"Master, does the Heavenly Emperor know about this?"

After calming down, Ancestor Hongqian couldn't help but ask.

Gu An replied, "I don't know."

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Hongqian suddenly suspected that the Heavenly Emperor's safe return was due to the assistance of a master behind the scenes.

"No need to think too much. What you should be thinking about right now is how to become a saint. You have the best chance of becoming the third saint of Chaos."

Gu An said leisurely, and these words made Hong Qian Patriarch's blood boil and his fighting spirit was instantly ignited.

"I will absolutely not let you down!" Ancestor Hongqian immediately assured him.

The Great Xuan Yin Ruler's mood suddenly soured.

The thought that such a person could become a saint and be at the same level as him made him feel uncomfortable.

He could even imagine the face of Ancestor Hongqian after he became a saint.

"No, I can't stop!"

The Great Xuan Yin Ruler secretly vowed that he remembered Gu An had once said that he could guide him to surpass the saints.

Now that he thinks about it, he suspects that the Chaos was created by Gu An, and that those signs of opportunity were deliberately released by Gu An to lure the sages into the game.

It is unknown what this being is after.
