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

Chapter 1103 The Eighteen Sages

From the rainbow of light that soared through the air, figures walked out. Judging from their figures, their clothing was different. Even though their true faces were not revealed, their aura made Hongyi feel that they were vast and boundless.

He's a true saint!

Hongyi watched as the row of saints stepped out from the rainbow of light, and the shock in his heart was indescribable.

There were actually more than ten saints!

How can it be?

These saints paused at the edge of the rainbow, as if gazing at them from another world.

After no more saints appeared, Hongyi gasped in shock.

Gu An actually has eighteen saints under his command!

Such immense and terrifying power could indeed resolve this calamity, but she couldn't understand why Wushi had so many saints who possessed such power. Gu An's identity was definitely far beyond what the Heavenly Dao and the common people could imagine.

What does Gu An want to do after arriving at the Heavenly Dao?
Hongyi turned to look at Gu An, only to see that Gu An's expression was calm, even smiling.

“Take a closer look,” Gu An said, and Hong Yi turned his gaze back to the eighteen saints.

Soon, Hongyi's gaze locked onto one of the female saints. Her eyes widened, and she looked shocked.

"How can it be……"

Hongyi muttered to himself, doubting that he had seen it wrong.

"That's right, I am you, you from the future."

The female saint being watched by Hongyi spoke, her tone indifferent, her voice very similar to Hongyi's, only more solemn and majestic, displaying the aura of looking down upon all living beings.

Hearing this, Hongyi was even more shocked. Let alone becoming a saint, reaching the Great Dao Realm of the Great Luo Immortal would have already allowed her to transcend the Great Dao of Time and Space and be free from the constraints of cause and effect.

Where does her future come from, and by what right does it exist independently?
Gu An's voice reached her ears, saying, "The so-called carefree life is relative. When you cannot understand everything, you cannot be certain about anything. If you cultivate my path, I can see your future and even make it come true."

Hongyi scanned the other saints and found that some of their figures and auras were familiar to her.

“Li Ya, An Xin, Tian Hao, Zhu Xi, Xiao Lan, Ji Xiaoyu…” Hong Yi uttered their names, his expression becoming increasingly complicated.

She had seen these people in the Lingxiao Palace. Although they were related to Gu An, they seemed insignificant, yet they had all become saints.

Even though Gu An helped her become a saint, she could still retain her confidence. After all, her talent was unparalleled in the world, and even within the Nine Great Daos, she believed that she was no less than anyone else.

Now that even people like Xiao Lan and An Xin can become saints, doesn't that mean that for Gu An, talent is not important, and whoever he wants to become a saint can become a saint?

Hongyi's mood suddenly dipped, but she didn't let this feeling drag her into despair. She pressed on, "Are the other sages also your disciples?"

Gu An smiled and said, "That's not it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a saint suddenly transformed into a golden light, soared up, pierced through the layer of heavenly light, and disappeared.

"Who is this person, and why is he in such a hurry?" a mysterious, primordial sage asked.

"Black Xuan Emperor, how many people do you know?"

Another sage said coldly, his tone full of sarcasm.

Immediately afterwards, one saint after another disappeared before the rainbow of light.

All eighteen saints disappeared from Hongyi's sight, with only the remaining rainbow light proving that the saints had indeed appeared.

Hongyi turned to look at Gu An and asked, "Sixteen saints against twelve saints should be able to end this conflict, right?"

“One person is enough.” Gu An smiled softly. One person?
Hongyi was stunned. Who is so powerful?

Could it be her future self?

……

In the darkness, the Heavenly Emperor, surrounded by the golden dragon of the Heavenly Dao, looked at the five saints in front of him with a furrowed brow.

The Nine Yang Divine Ancestor stood between the four saints, all of whom revealed their true saintly forms, looking down at the Heavenly Emperor from a high and mighty position.

"Heavenly Emperor, you can't even defeat me, why are you so persistent?"

The Nine Suns Divine Ancestor, with nine bright suns floating behind him, spoke, his tone filled with regret.

He admired the Heavenly Emperor's power. He could tell that the Heavenly Emperor had not been a saint for long, but even so, he was still helpless against him.

With such talent, given time, he will surely grow into a being that would give even the sages headaches and cause them fear.

The Heavenly Emperor did not panic. He replied, "Even though I am being restrained by you, the Heavenly Way has not perished. It seems that my Heavenly Way still has a chance to survive."

Because Gu An was there, he wasn't flustered at all and could fully concentrate on the battle.

Although facing five sages was a challenge, he was more excited than anything else, though he didn't show it on his face.

Upon hearing the Heavenly Emperor's words, the expressions of the five sages underwent subtle changes. In fact, they had been paying close attention to the Heavenly Dao and were quite surprised.

What exactly is hidden within the Heavenly Dao, and why did the reincarnation of the Great Boundless Demon Ancestor fail?
Another saint was expelled.

It's truly bizarre that there are two sages in the Heavenly Dao.

They were unable to deduce the situation of the Heavenly Sage, which made them even more confused.

Just then, an extremely terrifying aura descended, startling all the saints, including the Heavenly Emperor, who turned to look.

A golden vortex appeared in the depths of darkness. Before the saints could think further, the golden vortex shattered with a loud boom, and a majestic and imposing figure stepped out from it.

This was a white-haired man with a handsome face, wearing a white robe, with golden armor on his chest and shoulders, as if he were a divine beast. Several golden-red streams of energy surrounded his body, making him look extremely powerful and divine. These were the manifestations of his battle intent. He stepped forward, and the Three Thousand Great Daos converged beneath his feet, forming a long staircase.

The Heavenly Emperor's pupils dilated suddenly, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Extremely... How is this possible? He is also a saint?"

The newcomer was none other than Gu An's reincarnated form, exuding the same aura of a saint.

The Heavenly Emperor could see that Ji's cultivation level was the same as his own, but Ji's aura made him tremble with fear.

What terrifying fighting spirit!

It reminded him of the feeling of fighting against the Extreme in the cycle of reincarnation. It seemed that he was the one entangled with the Extreme, but every time he fought against the Extreme, he was terrified.

If Gu Xuanyou gave him exhilarating battles, then Ji brought him despair; Ji was an invincible opponent. He challenged Ji only to break his own limits.

Ji's face bore a resemblance to Gu An's, but his eyes and brows were sharper and more imposing. He twisted his neck, his gaze fixed on the five saints, each step like a muffled thunderclap striking their hearts, making them instinctively tremble with fear.

"and who are you?"

A female saint draped in golden robes asked a question in a heavy tone. As she spoke, countless snake shadows appeared in the dark void, some even larger than the saint's true form, all staring at the pole as if they were about to devour it at any moment.

Without even frowning, Ji vanished the moment he took his next step, reappearing above the golden-robed female saint.

Time seemed to stand still. Ji raised his right hand, pulled it back, and clenched his fist. With this clench, he tore apart the countless snake shadows in the dark void. He then swiftly unleashed a powerful punch.

Golden light burst forth, illuminating the Heavenly Emperor's face, causing him to widen his eyes and instinctively mobilize his sage power to defend himself.
