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

Chapter 221 The Legendary Celestial Immortal
Seeing Gu An forcefully suppress the two wandering immortals, Chi Jiuxiao was dumbfounded, while An Hao was so excited that he trembled all over.

Gu An glanced at the purple-robed man in his hand and tossed him a lifespan probe.

【Nine Star True Monarch (Fifth Level of the Immortal Realm): 42089/150000/160000】

He then looked down at the man in red at his feet and used the same lifespan detection technique.

【True Lord Cangye (Sixth Floor of the Immortal Realm): 56803/160000/190000】

They're all quite old!

They are all named after the True Lord. Could it be that the True Lord is a title or status in the Seven Star Spirit Realm?
Gu An was pondering this when the Azure Leaf True Monarch beneath his feet spoke with difficulty: "Who are you, sir? If that boy is truly your disciple, then take him away!"

boom!
Suddenly, a sandstorm erupted behind Gu An, darkening the vision of An Hao and Chi Jiuxiao. A massive black scorpion, as large as a mountain, attacked, raising its pincers to clamp down on Gu An.

Devouring Immortal Scorpion!
Its speed was so fast that Chi Jiuxiao and An Hao didn't even have time to react.

They only saw the Devouring Scorpion suddenly appear, and before they could see it clearly, the Devouring Scorpion exploded, black venom splattering into the sky and earth, followed by an even more terrifying roar.

Rumbling--

A cloud of dust rose behind Gu An, covering the sky filled with black venom.

"How can it be……"

The Nine-Star True Monarch, whose shoulders were being gripped by Gu An, stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

That Devouring Immortal Scorpion was also a being in the Wandering Immortal Realm, yet it died instantly?

He didn't even see clearly what method Gu An used, but felt that the Devouring Scorpion's claws exploded as soon as they touched Gu An.

You have successfully seized 57009 years of lifespan from the Devouring Immortal Scorpion (Second Floor of the Immortal Realm).

Looking at the prompt in front of him, Gu An felt slightly satisfied.

The Devouring Immortal Scorpion died from the Dao Gang Yuan Qi, which was evolved from the Ji family's divine power, the Dao Gang of Heaven and Earth. Once someone attacked Gu An's physical body, this divine power would be triggered, resulting in his death.

Cangye Zhenjun's divine sense could not probe out, nor could he turn his head, but at the moment the Dao Gang Yuan Qi erupted, he felt that he was about to be reduced to ashes.

He had never felt so desperate.

The opponent must have surpassed the Immortal Realm!

How could such a thing exist on this backward continent?
The Nine Star True Lord was terrified when he witnessed the eruption of Daoist Yuan Qi.

At this moment, both immortals lost their will to fight, filled only with boundless fear.

The longer they live, the more afraid they become of death.

“Senior… here you go…” Cangye Zhenjun said in a trembling voice.

Although Gu An did not receive any hostile signals, Cangye Zhenjun's daring to send the Devouring Immortal Scorpion to attack him was truly courting death.

Gu An suddenly exerted force with his right foot, directly crushing Cangye Zhenjun's physical body into a blood mist, leaving only a storage bag behind.

Nine Star True Monarch's eyes widened, filled with despair.

Gu An's palm erupted with a divine light that shattered the Dao, instantly turning it into dust and erasing it from existence.

The storage bag on Nine Star True Monarch's body also landed on the ground.

The two immortals died without any chance to resist!
An Hao and Chi Jiuxiao were both stunned. They knew all too well how powerful these two wandering immortals were, which was why they were in a daze.

Two notifications popped up in front of Gu An's eyes: he had successfully seized 20,000 years of lifespan!

A figure flew in from behind and landed behind Gu An. He bowed and clasped his hands in thanks, saying in a deep voice, "Thank you for saving me, senior!"

It was Chi Bei, Chi Jiuxiao's master.

At this moment, Chi Bei was extremely miserable, with black blood oozing from his entire body.

"Don't tell anyone about this, or you'll all become my enemies."

Gu An left these words and vanished into thin air, along with the two storage bags on the ground.

Chi Bei looked up, but his divine sense could no longer detect Gu An's figure, which made him sigh.

At this moment, Chi Jiuxiao rushed out of the formation and came to Chi Bei, helping him up.

"Master, are you alright?" Chi Jiuxiao asked anxiously.

Chi Bei spoke with difficulty, "Bring out the medicine cauldron; I need to expel the poison..."

Chi Jiuxiao immediately complied.

Soon, Chi Bei entered the cauldron to begin healing. He took out the medicinal herbs he had prepared and then took out the spiritual water.

An Hao approached the large cauldron and cautiously asked, "What is the origin of the Devouring Immortal Scorpion?"

Chi Jiuxiao gazed at the cauldron and said in a low voice, "The Devouring Immortal Scorpion is one of the nine ancient poisons of the ocean, and it is also the strongest living poisonous insect. If an immortal is swallowed by it, he will instantly turn into poisonous blood. If he is stung by it, his cultivation will be dissipated, and even gods and Buddhas cannot save him."

So scary?
An Hao was startled and didn't know how to comfort Chi Jiuxiao.

Chi Jiuxiao turned to look at him and asked, "Just who is your master? It's a bit..."

Gu An's performance just now was truly terrifying. Even though Chi Jiuxiao was rescued, he was still afraid of Gu An's strength.

This is a fear born from something beyond the realm of cognition!

“I can’t reveal my master’s name; he forbids me to say it,” An Hao said, shaking his head, his heart filled with pride.

Whenever he encountered beings at a higher level, he would wonder what level his master was at.

However, his master repeatedly shattered his understanding.

It seemed that no matter how powerful an existence appeared before his master, it was nothing more than an ant.

He realized that although he possessed exceptional talent, it was insignificant compared to his master. He even suspected that his remarkable talent stemmed from his master's favoritism. Upon hearing this, Chi Jiuxiao fell silent.

He recalled Gu An's previous figure, and his eyes revealed admiration.

A true man cultivating immortality should possess such a spirit!

the other side.

Gu An did not return to Tai Xuan Sect, but instead went straight to a deserted island in the sea.

He appeared in the woods, quickly checked the storage bags of the two True Lords, destroyed any suspicious items, and threw all the remaining treasures into his own storage bag.

His storage bags were not enough to hold the two men's inheritance, so he had to refine one of them.

He left after a while.

He stepped into the cave he had created, emptied everything out, and then burned the Nine Star True Lord's storage bag to ashes.

Although he felt there was no problem after the examination, he still wanted to be on the safe side.

Only after doing all this did he return to the Tai Xuan Sect.

He came to the top of the mountain next to Xuan Valley and looked into the distance.

Although killing the three wandering immortals was easy, he was not at peace.

He knew things were about to escalate!
However, he did not regret it; he could not allow the enemy to live.

There's another way!
That is, he also wanted to find the immortal spirit of the Mystic City, and then give it to someone to end this conflict in advance.

Gu An was not interested in the Mysterious City. Even though the Mysterious City possessed great power, he did not want to cause trouble because of the great karma associated with it.

The best outcome would be to give it to someone and then let them leave with the Starry Sea Cult.

He had already visited the City of the Gods twice and vaguely caught sight of the immortals.

……

Several days later, the sandstorm had stopped within the small world of the Mystic City.

Chi Jiuxiao helped Chi Bei, who had just emerged from the cauldron, to sit down. Chi Bei had changed into a clean white robe, but his face was pale, his hair was disheveled, and he had no air of a wandering immortal.

After sitting down, he exclaimed, "I never expected that the City of Mysteries would attract a celestial being from heaven and earth."

Upon hearing this, An Hao's face showed curiosity.

"A Celestial Immortal? Could it be the legendary realm of immortals who can travel to the heavens?" Chi Jiuxiao's eyes lit up as he asked excitedly.

Chi Bei nodded and said, "That should be the case. As fellow cultivators in the Immortal Realm, it's impossible for him to defeat those two True Monarchs so easily."

He looked at Chi Jiuxiao and said, "Since that senior saved us, we must keep our promise and not tell anyone that he helped us. Just say that it was done by cultivators from the Star Sea Sect, understand?"

Chi Jiuxiao nodded heavily.

Chi Bei then looked at An Hao, scrutinizing him closely. He could tell that An Hao had extraordinary talent and couldn't help but ask, "Is your master also a member of the Tai Xuan Sect?"

He can see the karma on An Hao's body, but he can only see the past ten years and cannot see the interaction between An Hao and his master.

As for Lü Baitian, he simply ignored him; a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was no match for him.

"I'm not sure either, it shouldn't be," An Hao shook his head, remaining cautious and not fully trusting Chi Bei.

Chi Bei laughed and said, "What good fortune, kid. With such a master, your future is limitless. How about joining the Star Sea Cult later?"

An Hao hesitated and said, "I have more than one master. My other master is the sect leader of Tai Xuan Sect. I have to take on the responsibility of strengthening my sect."

Chi Bei smiled even more gently and said, "It's not like I'm asking you to leave Tai Xuan Sect. You can come to Xinghai Qunjiao to cultivate for a while and help the two sects establish good relations. Xinghai Qunjiao can help you become stronger quickly. Once you become stronger, you can better protect Tai Xuan Sect. If Xinghai Qunjiao is in trouble in the future, you can lend a helping hand."

Hearing this, An Hao found it difficult to refuse, and he couldn't help but look at Chi Jiuxiao.

Chi Jiuxiao snorted, "Would my master lie to you? Xuan Tianyi is the best example."

Having traveled side by side with him, he had already come to understand the relationship between Xuan Tianyi and An Hao.

He also wanted to win over An Hao.

Winning over An Hao is tantamount to winning over the Celestial Immortal from a few days ago!
That was a Celestial Immortal descending from Heaven. The Star Sea Sect had also produced Celestial Immortals, but those were all legends, and he had never witnessed one in person before.

An Hao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement, which brought smiles to the faces of Chi Bei and Chi Jiuxiao.

Chi Bei suppressed his smile and said, "I haven't completely rid myself of the Devouring Immortal Scorpion's poison yet. Let's leave the Divine City first, lest the Seven Star Spirit Realm continue to hunt us down."

“But the City of the Divine…” Chi Jiuxiao hesitated.

Chi Bei glared at him and said angrily, "There are celestial immortals and other wandering immortals in the Divine City. What qualifications do you have to compete for the immortal spirit?"

Chi Jiuxiao immediately backed down, scratched his head and smiled, no longer daring to insist.

Although An Hao felt regretful, he didn't feel he had lost out by leaving. He had already found many treasures and gained a lot by following Chi Jiuxiao.

And so, the three of them packed up and began looking for a way out.

……

Inside a dimly lit hall, brass oil lamps hung on one of the walls, some of which had already gone out.

A woman in a purple dress stood in front of the wall of lights. She wore a veil and her long hair was styled in a bun. Her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were revealed, but the coldness in her eyes made her seem mysterious.

A little boy wearing a bib appeared on her shoulder, tilted his head, and asked, "Mother, what are you looking at?"

Upon closer inspection, the boy's feet were embedded in the woman's shoulder in the purple dress; he was a spirit, not a living being.
