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

Chapter 162 The Great Vehicle Demons Attack, the Only Way to Survive!
Upon hearing the words of the Ephemeral Flower Demon Mother, Su Han remained silent. He did not refute her, because he also felt that he was weak.

Throughout his journey, he has escaped death multiple times, but he did not rely on his own strength.

Su Han knew very well that he was just a pawn. Just like the Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower in front of him, she was helping him wholeheartedly, which must have been for some purpose, but he had no other choice.

"Your time is running out. The great calamity of demons is drawing ever closer. The Reversal of Fate Divine Art can only absorb the spiritual power of cultivators, not the power of demons. When the great calamity of demons arrives, and you are unwilling to abandon your principles, then all cultivators will be busy fighting against demons, and it will be difficult for you to become stronger," said the Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower.

Upon hearing this, Su Han asked, "Are you in a hurry? What exactly do you want me to do for you?"

The Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower replied, "That depends on how strong you can become. It's not me who should be anxious, but you. From the moment you began cultivating the Heaven-Hating Divine Sword, your lifespan has been predetermined. No matter how high a realm you reach, your lifespan will not increase unless you can reach the legendary Immortal Realm."

Su Han frowned.

The Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower mentioned the drawbacks of the Heaven-Hating Divine Sword more than once, seemingly to remind him and for his own good, but he felt threatened and oppressed.

"I will try my best." After saying that, Su Han sat down to meditate and began practicing his skills.

The Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower looked at him for a while, then vanished in a wisp of ghostly energy.

Su Han looked up at the full moon outside, and for some reason, he suddenly felt sad and lost.

There should be no one in this world who cares about him anymore.

……

With the arrival of winter snow, the Third Medicine Valley was covered in a blanket of white snow, and everything appeared desolate.

Gu An stood on the balcony, admiring the snow-covered landscape while simultaneously conceiving the next chapter of the shattered void.

"Shattered Void" became a hit, and its popularity far exceeded Gu An's expectations. The first five volumes surpassed the total sales of "The Supreme Immortal Venerable".

The essence of Shattering the Void is the same as that of Tai Xuan Immortal Venerable: it's a novel about satisfying the reader's desire for power. However, the theme of Shattering the Void resonates with the current state of mind of cultivators across the world.

A great calamity of demons is imminent, and various sects are constantly sending disciples to gather intelligence. As more and more information is gathered, the entire cultivation world becomes increasingly oppressive.

More and more people feel that the path of cultivation is nearing its end. If only they could break through the void, how wonderful that would be?

In the distance, a white rat scurried across the snow, with Xiao Chuan chasing after it. Not only did he fail to catch it, but he also got kicked in the face by the white rat, which made Gu An chuckle.

I don't know what's so appealing about this fat rat that Xiao Chuan likes it so much.

Lu Lingjun walked to the foot of Gu Anlou, looked up at him, and asked, "Valley Master, did you sense anything?"

Gu An looked down at her and asked, "Are you cold?"

“That’s certainly true. A powerful demonic aura is coming from the north. I wonder if it foreshadows an impending calamity for demons,” Lu Lingjun replied, her gaze following the direction northward.

Gu An had long sensed that a powerful demon at the Mahayana Realm was heading south and was already approaching the land of the Eight Dynasties.

He did not stop him; he wanted to see if there were any hidden talents in the land of eight dynasties.

When the great calamity of demons erupts, he cannot turn the situation around by his own strength. Not to mention the danger, doing so would attract too much hatred and easily be targeted by the Seven Star Spirit Realm.

Although Gu An's divine sense could cover the land of the Nine Dynasties, the world is vast, and there are always some people who hide, like the Starry Cave Heaven, which he had not been able to discover with his divine sense before.

Gu An asked, "If a great calamity of demons were to descend, what would you do?"

Lu Lingjun replied, "Naturally I will fight alongside the Tai Xuan Sect, but if we are no match for them and see no hope, I will head south to pursue my destiny as an immortal."

Having ascended for many years, she has gained a deep understanding of this world.

Since ancient times, great cultivators who encounter bottlenecks will venture south, even though the ocean is more dangerous than the land of demons, there are still those who go forward without hesitation.

As an ascendant, Lu Lingjun naturally would not live or die with the Tai Xuan Sect.

Gu An nodded slightly, offering no comment.

Lu Lingjun looked at Gu An and asked, "Valley Master, what about you?"

Gu An feigned hesitation and said, "I will actively cultivate medicinal herbs and contribute my efforts."

"What if the Tai Xuan Sect is to perish?"

"Then I'll kill myself, lest I be eaten by demons."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingjun rolled her eyes at Gu An, thinking he was beyond saving.

Gu An smiled and didn't continue the discussion to avoid being overheard by the other servant disciples and causing panic.

But how should the cultivation world deal with the impending arrival of the Mahayana realm demons?
The snow was white and seemed to be falling endlessly until it engulfed the world.

into the night.

Gu An arrived at Nianchu Cave on Tianhuang Mountain.

As soon as he entered, he saw Tian Yao'er squatting in front of the medicine cauldron, warming herself by the fire, hugging her knees with her hands, trembling, and even burying her head.

He walked towards Tian Yao'er, deliberately making footsteps to startle her. When she turned her head and saw Gu An, she was overjoyed and rushed towards him like a gust of wind, hugging him tightly.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that she was really scared, Gu An didn't push her away, but asked with concern.

Tian Yao'er buried her head in Gu An's chest and whispered, "I'm scared... I feel something terrifying is getting closer..."

She clung tightly to Gu An's waist, afraid he would leave.

Gu An patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, that guy isn't heading towards Tianhuang Mountain, he's far away from us."

Upon hearing this, Tian Yao'er looked up and asked cautiously, "Really?"

"Really? And I didn't come here to keep you company?"

"But you can't even defeat the Demon Mother. I feel that terrifying being is even stronger than the Demon Mother." "Indeed, we can't defeat it, but I will take you and escape."

"Then don't lie to me. If you're going to leave here, you must take me with you."

"I won't lie to you."

Gu Anying replied that if it weren't for his rescue, Tian Yao'er would probably have perished in the demon's belly. She could only rely on him, so how could he abandon her?
However, Tian Yao'er's reaction surprised him.

Why are we so afraid, since we are both demons?
He pulled Tian Yao'er down to sit and asked her to explain why she was so scared.

Unfortunately, Tian Yao'er stammered for a long time but couldn't explain it clearly.

According to the memories of the Black Crow Demon Envoy, Gu An knew the origin of that great demon.

Six-Headed Flood Dragon, one of the Seventy-Two Great Demon Kings, dominates a vast territory of 100,000 li. He has countless demon soldiers and generals, and is known for his violent nature and infamous reputation. Even the Black Crow Demon Envoy is cautious when he goes to see him, fearing that he will swallow him whole.

At this moment, the Six-Headed Flood Dragon is leading millions of demons southward, with more and more demons joining along the way, and even some demon kings willing to follow.

His overwhelming demonic aura has already alarmed the human cultivation world. Gu An can sense that many cultivators are rushing there from the land of the Eight Dynasties, including more than twenty at the Profound Heart Realm.

Gu An comforted Tian Yao'er for a while before she calmed down. To his dismay, the girl actually fell asleep on his lap.

It seems I'll have to stay here a while longer tonight.

……

chant—

At dawn, a dragon's roar came from afar, startling the servants and disciples in Xuan Valley.

Chu Jingfeng, who was sitting on the cliff, opened his eyes, looked at the horizon, his brows furrowed, and the snow on his body gradually melted.

The servants in the valley gathered together, discussing where the sound had come from and what kind of demon had made it.

Gu An emerged from the swirling snow on his sword and landed in the valley. He carefully stored his flying sword, and the servants immediately surrounded him, asking about the dragon's roar he had just heard.

"I don't know which demon made it, but everyone can rest assured that you will be safe inside the Tai Xuan Sect," Gu An reassured them.

Now, the disciples of Xuan Valley have been replaced by a new batch. Apart from Lu Jiujia and Chu Jingfeng, none of them know that Xuan Valley has experienced various tribulations. Therefore, the disciples easily believe Gu An's words.

In the days that followed, news continued to flow into the Tai Xuan Sect.

The name of the Six-Headed Flood Dragon has forcefully entered the eyes of the disciples of the Tai Xuan Sect. The news that a Xuanxin Realm cultivator has been eaten alive by him has made the entire Tai Xuan Sect uneasy.

A large number of disciples were dispatched to the north to provide support, and Gu Zong even came to the Third Medicine Valley in person to ask Lu Lingjun for help.

After hesitating, Lu Lingjun decided to take action.

Accompanying them was also the Ancestor Xuanquan!

News of their departure spread throughout the cities of the Tai Xuan Sect. However, when Gu An wandered around the outer city, he found that many people had no hope for Lu Lingjun and Lu Lingjun, and many more were praying that nothing would happen to these two Xuanxin Realm cultivators.

The fall of the Old Ancestor of the Withered Pine cast a great shadow over the Tai Xuan Sect.

Gu An was also watching the great battle in the distance. The Cangtian Sect once again took on the leadership role, and the Cangtian Sect took the lead, using the spiritual power of a million cultivators to condense a great formation, forming a natural barrier to isolate the invasion of the demon race.

Fourteen profound-heart realm cultivators surrounded the six-headed dragon, none daring to get close, making the battle completely one-sided.

However, the Six-Headed Flood Dragon had no intention of entering the human realm; it only continued to clamor, and its various threats and insults angered and terrified the cultivation world.

It seems that the Six-Headed Dragon is testing the land of the Eight Dynasties.

Perhaps they were wary of the Dao Lord of the Cangtian Sect, or perhaps they feared the Mountain God.

The next morning, Lu Lingjun and Ancestor Xuanquan joined the battle, with Gu An watching over them the whole time to prevent their deaths.

Faced with the powerful six-headed dragon, Lu Lingjun and his companion were quickly defeated and fled back to human territory to recuperate.

Gu An felt that Lu Lingjun was just going through the motions, deliberately getting injured before retreating.

Perhaps Lu Lingjun also believed that if they fought to the death, they might really die.

The six-headed dragon Luo Yue never invades human territory, and Gu An Yue suspects that there is an even stronger demon watching him from behind.

Emperor Xie's father, the Demon Emperor!

That demon king rules over the demons of the demon lands; perhaps this is a test he has arranged.

a few days later.

When Gu An arrived at the outer city gate, he saw a scene that left him with mixed feelings.

There, hundreds of thousands of disciples sat cross-legged on the enormous Heaven-Mending Stone, and even the ancient sect members sat under the words "Righteous Path," which forced those who were comprehending the sword to step down.

Then Di Xie descended.

He happened to see Gu An, so he walked over and said with emotion, "The Northern Border is in dire need of help. The sect is pleading with Sword Master Fudao to take action."

Gu An asked worriedly, "A Grandmaster of the Profound Heart Realm has already fallen. Will relying solely on the Sword Venerable Fudao be of any use?"

Di Xie sighed and said, "Perhaps it's useless, but what other choice do we have?"

He was also a demon, and knew the power of the demon realm.

He said in a compassionate tone, "This calamity is inevitable, and perhaps only the ocean is the way out."
