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

Chapter 1090 The Powerful Ancestor
Amidst the vast purple aura, an old man dressed in black strode forward, holding a whisk in his hand. His brows and eyes were majestic, and as he walked, the sun and moon seemed to rise and fall behind him, and his divine forms appeared frequently.

As the Purple Willow Ancestor entered the hall, the cultivators' hearts were in their throats, and those who were blocking the Purple Willow Ancestor's view quickly made way.

Sudden.

Ancestor Ziliu stopped in his tracks, frowned, and immediately raised his hand in a gesture of respect, bowing deeply as he said, "Greetings, Heavenly Emperor. What brings you here?"

He could no longer maintain his composure; his previous coldness was replaced by embarrassment.

His cultivation was inferior to that of Ancestor Hongqian, so he did not detect Ancestor Hongqian's aura. When he saw Ancestor Hongqian, he was startled, but fortunately, he was experienced in many things and managed to keep his composure.

At this moment, the cultivators suddenly realized that there was another pillar of strength in the hall.

Ancestor Hongqian was the Second Heavenly Emperor!

With such a being standing in this hall, who would dare to act recklessly?
Seeing that Ancestor Ziliu was wary of Ancestor Hongqian, Li Xuandao breathed a sigh of relief. Before, in the Lingxiao Palace, he couldn't judge whose cultivation was higher, since the Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors were arranged according to their speed of enlightenment.

However, Li Xuandao felt somewhat uneasy.

He doesn't even have the right to have Gu An back him up now?
Gu An only needs to have his servants handle things to resolve all his troubles, which shows that the gap between him and Gu An is widening.

Li Xuandao suddenly felt the same sense of loss as Li Ya.

But this feeling came quickly and went quickly.

Why think so much? As long as Gu An is still willing to talk to him, it means that they are still very close.

What difference is there between cultivation levels and the distance between hearts?

When Ancestor Ziliu bowed to him, Ancestor Hongqian did not appreciate it and directly mocked, "You laugh at others for being so imposing in the mortal world, but haven't you realized that you are just as imposing yourself?"

Purple Willow Ancestor's face instantly turned ashen; he hadn't expected that Hongqian Ancestor would show him no mercy whatsoever.

Damn!

Why didn't I see him talking to Li Xuandao in the Lingxiao Palace before?
Ancestor Ziliu was suddenly in a dilemma, caught between a rock and a hard place. If he retreated, he would lose face. If he stayed, would Ancestor Hongqian attack him?
For a moment, the hall fell silent.

The cultivators who came to listen to the Dao looked at Ancestor Hongqian with awe and excitement. Ancestor Hongqian's power gave them an infinite sense of security at that moment.

Is this the Heavenly Emperor?

Those cultivators who had never been to the Lingxiao Palace now understood what the Heavenly Emperor was.

Absolutely dominant!
Seeing that the Purple Willow Ancestor was speechless, Li Xuandao did not want to force him to his death. After all, there were countless karmic connections behind the Purple Willow Ancestor, and he did not want to fight to the death before he had investigated them thoroughly.

Li Xuandao looked at Ancestor Hongqian and said, "Senior, Ancestor Ziliu must be joking with me, right, Ancestor Ziliu?"

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Ziliu was overjoyed and was about to speak when Ancestor Hongqian snorted coldly and unleashed his terrifying aura as a Perfected Daoist Emperor.

"A joke? Who do you think you are to joke with me?"

Hongqian Ancestor's killing intent locked onto Ziliu Ancestor, making it palpable to everyone.

Unable to move, the Purple Willow Ancestor's expression changed drastically. With a thud, he knelt on the ground, trembling all over. He looked at the Hongqian Ancestor in terror, unable to maintain the demeanor of an ancient and powerful being.

Li Xuandao was also shocked. He never expected that Ancestor Hongqian would be so easily angered, even though he had been very warm and friendly to him before.

He couldn't help but look at Gu An, and seeing Gu An's amused expression, he felt a sense of unease.

As long as Gu An can control Hong Qian Ancestor, that's fine.

Ancestor Hongqian suppressed Ancestor Ziliu with killing intent. He took a step forward, each step feeling like a heavy stomp on Ancestor Ziliu's heart, the oppressive feeling was extremely strong. As Ancestor Hongqian approached, the terror felt by Ancestor Ziliu deepened. His pupils trembled, and he opened his mouth, wanting to beg for mercy, but he couldn't utter a word.

The cultivators were equally frightened. Was this Ancestor Hongqian going to kill Ancestor Ziliu directly?

Yang Jian was equally terrified. Could this senior's murderous intent really be so strong?

How come there's such a fierce spirit by my master's side?
He had previously thought that Ancestor Hongqian was quite kind.

Whether it was his imagination or not, Yang Jian heard a cold snort in his ear, a very unfamiliar voice.

The one who snorted was none other than the Great Xuan Yin Ruler. He despised the way Ancestor Hong Qian bullied the weak, but then he remembered that he had treated Ancestor Hong Qian in the same way in the past, so he couldn't continue.

Ancestor Hongqian came to Ancestor Ziliu, raised his hand, grabbed his head, and shook it slightly. This action was full of humiliation.

Ancestor Ziliu had no regard for his dignity; he pleaded with Ancestor Hongqian with his eyes.

He was a Primordial Immortal of Profound Qi, who should have been free and unfettered beyond the Three Realms, yet he was utterly powerless against the Supreme Emperor of the Fusion Dao.

“Young man, your self-proclaimed title of ancestor displeases me greatly. Remember, Li Xuandao is protected by my ancestor. If you dare to cause trouble again, all those beings behind you will die.”

Hongqian Ancestor spoke in a cold tone, and as soon as he finished speaking, he slammed down with his palm, directly turning Ziliu Ancestor into a bloody mist.

This palm strike sent chills down the spines of the cultivators.

Just then, Gu An stood up, stretched, and smiled at Li Xuandao, saying, "I'm leaving now. I'll come find you again when I have time."

He glanced at Long Teng and Yang Jian, then walked towards Ancestor Hong Qian.

The Great Xuan Yin Ruler also stood up and followed Gu An's steps.

The cultivators on both sides stared at Gu An and the Great Xuan Yin Ruler, none of them daring to speak, their curiosity about Gu An reaching its peak.

Anyone with eyes can see that Ancestor Hongqian is led by Gu An.

Could this be the patriarch that Ancestor Hongqian just mentioned?
They discovered that Gu An's aura was ethereal and completely impossible to detect, which indicated that Gu An's cultivation was unfathomable.

Li Xuandao watched Gu An and the other person leave without saying a word. He knew he couldn't see Gu An off now, as that would be letting Gu An down.

This time, Li Xuandao's fame will surely spread, and all the powerful figures in the Heavenly Dao will know that he has a powerful backer.

This sentiment is truly profound!

After Gu An walked past Ancestor Hongqian, Ancestor Hongqian shook his hand and followed in his footsteps.

Watching the three figures disappear into the distance, the cultivators in the hall felt immense pressure. Only after the three left the palace did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

One of the Lingxiao listeners turned to look at Li Xuandao and couldn't help but ask, "Who is that patriarch?"

Li Xuandao sat on the head seat, a smile on his face, and asked in return, "Among all the ancestors of the Heavenly Dao, which one is the most powerful?"

Lingxiao, the listener, was stunned and began to ponder.

"Could it be the Primordial Ancestor of the Primordial Realm?"

A female cultivator asked cautiously, and when everyone looked at her, she quickly explained, "I had long heard that His Majesty was close to the disciple of Wushi, so I thought of him..."
