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

Chapter 151 Demons Rampaging, Legend of the Demon Ancestor

"The Seven Star Spirit Realm is so powerful, why would I need you to invite me? I'll be begging you later," Wu Jue replied curtly.

Upon hearing this, Wei Tiangong shook his head and chuckled, showing no anger whatsoever.

For the next while, Gu An watched Wei Tiangong boast about how powerful the Seven Star Spirit Realm was, but unfortunately, no matter how eloquent he was, he couldn't convince Wu Jue.

Gu An found Wu Jue's attitude amusing.

If Wu Jue knew that Wei Tiangong was at the Profound Heart Realm, what would his reaction be?
Suddenly, a figure appeared behind Wei Tiangong. Gu An looked up and saw that it was Zhou Yu, Wu Jue's current master.

[Zhou Yu (Ninth Level of the Integration Realm): 864/2000/3100]

To become a Venerable Pavilion member, besides having high cultivation, one's talent is also top-tier, in no way inferior to Lü Baitian.

Zhou Yu looked at Wei Tiangong and said, "Senior Tiangong, Wu Jue is my disciple. If you have anything to say, let's talk somewhere else?"

Wei Tiangong turned to look at him, pondering, "You seem to be called Zhou Yu?"

“That’s right. Five hundred years ago, I cultivated under your tutelage for several years.” Zhou Yu’s tone was slightly respectful.

Wu Jue stood up and bowed to his master.

Wei Tiangong suddenly realized and laughed, "I see. In that case, let's find another place to talk."

The disciples around them, who were drinking and making merry, were all watching them; it was indeed inappropriate to continue the conversation.

Before Wu Jue could greet Gu An, Zhou Yu grabbed his shoulder and disappeared from the spot.

Wei Tiangong smiled and nodded at Gu An, who then raised his hand in greeting.

After Wei Tiangong disappeared, Gu An's lips curled up in a smile.

He picked up the wine pot and filled his and Wu Jue's wine bowls. Then, raising his bowl towards Wu Jue's bowl, he whispered, "I wish you a bright future and that you will soon become famous throughout the world."

Having said that, he drank alone, finishing it in one gulp.

After finishing his drink, Gu An got up, went downstairs, paid the bill, and left the inn.

He did not return directly to the Third Medicine Valley, but instead headed towards the inner sect's library.

Since Gu An borrowed the Records of Heaven and Earth and the map of the mainland from the inner sect's library, he has established a relationship with Elder Xu Lu. Over the years, the two have often exchanged travelogues about chivalry and have developed a friendship that transcends age.

It is worth mentioning that Gu An also met the Old Ancestor Kusong in the library.

The Old Ancestor Kusong concealed his identity as a Supreme Elder and befriended Gu An as an inner disciple, and Gu An did not expose him.

Upon arriving at the third floor of the library, Gu An found Xu Lu, took out the books he had previously borrowed, and then asked with a smile, "Elder Xu, do you still have any of Daoist Xun Chun's books?"

The book "Seeking Spring Daoist" was lent to Gu An by Xu Lu. This book was not sold in the library. It was sent back by one of Xu Lu's friends who was away. The book came from a continent overseas and was said to be very popular.

After reading it, Gu An found that Master Xun Chun's writing was indeed remarkable; he even saw traces of Qingxia's Travelogue in it.

Later, he heard from Xu Lu that Qingxia was inspired to write Qingxia's Travelogue after reading Master Xunchun's book.

Xu Lu took the book that Gu An had placed on the table, looked up at him, and said in an annoyed tone, "You brat, you should read books in your spare time from cultivation. Don't get too engrossed in them."

Gu An laughed and said, "My aptitude is average, and it's useless for me to work hard to cultivate. I'll probably only reach the Core Formation Realm in this lifetime. You know I'm the Valley Master of Medicine Valley. I can improve my cultivation with pills. Why should I waste my time cultivating? I might as well enjoy life and cherish the time I have."

Xu Lu was already of age, so when he heard these words, he felt they made a lot of sense.

Xu Lu laughed and said, "There is indeed another book by the Taoist Master Xunchun. It's in the hands of that person upstairs. Go find him."

Upon hearing this, Gu An immediately cupped his hands in greeting, then turned and walked towards the stairs.

There were only two people on the fourth floor: the withered pine patriarch and a Void Transcending Realm cultivator. The two did not disturb each other.

Gu An arrived in front of the Old Ancestor of the Dry Pine Tree, who was sitting in a chair by the window, holding a book in his hands.

Supreme Immortal Venerable Tai Xuan!

This is a novel written by Pan An. In recent years, under the operation of the Tai Xuan Sect, Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable and Investiture of the Gods have spread to the other eight dynasties and are extremely popular. Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable is still the most popular, while Investiture of the Gods is highly praised by the leaders of various sects.

There's a classic saying in the cultivation world: "For those at a high level, look to the Investiture of the Gods; for those at a low level, look to the Immortal Venerable."

Gu An was surprised that the Old Ancestor of the Dry Pine Tree actually liked the Immortal Venerable Tai Xuan.

"Senior, Elder Xu recommended me here. Could you lend me Daoist Xunchun's book?" Gu An asked softly.

Upon hearing this, the Old Ancestor of Dry Pine reached into his robes with his left hand, pulled out a book, and tossed it to him.

Gu An took the book, glanced through it briefly, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

The withered pine patriarch suddenly asked, "Gu An, have you ever seen the Supreme Mystic Immortal Venerable?"

Pan An's identity remains a secret within the Tai Xuan Sect, known only to a few, and the Old Ancestor of the Dry Pine did not inquire about the original author's thoughts.

"I've seen it, it's alright," Gu An commented.

Although Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable was his original book, he didn't like reading it because it lacked novelty.

The withered pine patriarch chuckled and said, "Then you don't understand the power of the Supreme Immortal Venerable Tai Xuan. In my opinion, this book is more powerful than the Investiture of the Gods, because it can evoke empathy in the vast majority of people, which shows that the author has seen through the secular world."

Gu Andao said, "But I still prefer Investiture of the Gods. Investiture of the Gods is more detailed and imaginative."

The two began arguing about which book was better.

Gu An had no intention of giving in to him. After all, Gu An did not know his true identity on the surface. They were like-minded friends despite their age difference. If Gu An kept going along with him and flattering him, he would find it meaningless.

After a long argument, Gu An gained the upper hand and left satisfied. The old pine tree patriarch, who had been snorting and glaring, watched Gu An go downstairs before his anger subsided, replaced by a mocking smile.

At this moment, the Void Transcending Realm cultivator approached. He was a man dressed in a gray Daoist robe. He came to Patriarch Kusong and asked with a smile, "Patriarch, why are you arguing with a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator?"

"Although he is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, he was able to enter the inner sect. Do you think he is that simple?" Old Ancestor Kusong asked rhetorically.

The gray-robed man shook his head and said, "Perhaps he has some background, but cultivation level doesn't lie."

Old Ancestor Kusong smiled but didn't reply, continuing to watch Immortal Venerable Taixuan.

The gray-robed man continued, "The Nine Dynasties Sect is preparing to join forces to investigate the land of demons and find the cause of the demon calamity. Will you go?"

The withered pine patriarch replied, "Well, my old bones have no hope of advancing any further. I'll enjoy my leisure time a little longer before heading to the land of demons."

Upon hearing this, the gray-robed man said, "Ancestor, please take me with you."

"Nonsense! This journey is fraught with peril, and even if I were a Xuanxin Realm expert, I couldn't protect you."

"Is it that scary?"

"Then why do you think the Ephemeral Flower Sect only dares to cause trouble in the Nine Dynasties region?"

"Could it be that the land of demons also hides Mahayana practitioners?"

The old pine master did not answer. He shifted his gaze to the window, where his disciples flew in and out under the blue sky, a pleasant sight.

……

late at night.

Tianhuang Mountain, Nianchu Cave.

Gu An is teaching Tian Yao'er how to cultivate the Limitless Free Step.

Tian Yao'er is the only one who has inherited the Limitless Free Steps. Coupled with the Innate Heaven and Earth Immortal Technique, her strength will definitely be very strong a thousand years later. While she may not be invincible within the same realm, no one and no demon can stop her.

Tian Yao'er was very excited about Gu An's instruction, as this was the first time Gu An had taught her how to cultivate magic.

The Wuji Zizai Step is extremely complex, and Tian Yao'er found it very difficult to practice. Gu An was not in a hurry, as this step requires years of practice to see results. If Tian Yao'er could master it after just one try, he would be driven to despair.

Five years have passed.

Gu An pondered when to help Tian Yao'er form her Golden Core.

Tian Yao'er used to be a walking pharmacy. When the two first met, she was already at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, just one step away from the Core Formation Realm. However, she lacked cultivation techniques before, but now that she has cultivated the Innate Immortal Technique, breaking through is no longer a difficult task.

As Gu An gazed at Tian Yao'er's graceful figure, he suddenly sensed something and dispersed his divine sense.

His divine sense ascended to the high sky, overlooking the entire Tianhuang Mountain, where he witnessed a magnificent scene.

Countless demons are rushing northwards, a vast and mighty force like ocean waves, covering the land and mountains. The demonic mist churns and surges in the darkness, unable to conceal the demons' figures.

Gu An glanced around and saw monsters, demons, and ghosts. Their advance caused the earth and mountains to tremble, and the commotion was intensifying.

after awhile.

The Nianchu Cave also began to tremble slightly, startling Tian Yao'er into stopping.

She nervously approached Gu An, leaned on his arm, and gripped his sleeve with both hands. Her eyes were filled with fear as she whispered, "Here we go again."

Gu An looked down at her and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Tian Yao'er replied, "When I was very young, a similar situation occurred. Many demons went north, including the Demon Mother, who was said to be going to see the Demon Ancestor."

"Demon Ancestor? Tell me about him." Gu An became interested and pulled Tian Yao'er to sit down at the stone table.

Tian Yao'er took a deep breath and began to recount the legends of the Demon Ancestor that she had heard.

"Legend has it that long ago, the first demon was born in the world. He was the Demon Ancestor. He was born to be superior to all living beings. He felt lonely over the long years, so he sprinkled his blood on the earth, allowing all living beings in the world to be baptized and then transform into demons..."

"Later, a group of beings called humans came to the earth. They were incredibly powerful and slaughtered demons on a massive scale..."

At this point, Tian Yao'er couldn't help but look at Gu An with a nervous expression, because she already knew that Gu An was not a demon, but a human.

To a monster that has never had contact with humans, humans are a terrifying existence.

If Gu An hadn't saved Tian Yao'er, she would have already found a way to escape.

Gu An was wearing a mask, and seeing that he didn't react, Tian Yao'er mustered her courage and continued speaking.

Those foreign human cultivators were extremely powerful. They slaughtered monsters and seized their demon cores and treasures, ultimately angering the Demon Ancestor.

The Demon Ancestor personally intervened and repelled the group of terrifying human cultivators.

However, the real catastrophe was just beginning.

Many years later, human cultivators attacked again, and this time in greater numbers. The Demon Ancestor perished while protecting the demon race, his body and soul vanishing.

After that, the human race took root on the land, and the demon race entered a period of oppression.

Throughout the long years of oppression, the demon race has always wanted to resurrect their ancestor and exterminate the human race.

Even now, as the Demon Ancestor is about to be resurrected, every few decades, all the demons in the world will go to worship the Demon Ancestor and offer their demon blood.
