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

Chapter 310 The Invincible Heavenly Demon Emperor

The main peak of the Human Realm Peak is located in the courtyard at the summit. Gu An and a group of immortals from heaven and earth gathered here. All those present were either the peak master or the elder of the main peak of the Human Realm Peak.

The courtyard was simple and not very spacious, with many flowers, trees and shrubs planted inside, and a faint sandalwood fragrance permeated the air. Gu An was greeting everyone in turn.

No matter how high one's level of attainment, social interaction is indispensable.

Gu An wouldn't object, since he planned to stay on Human Peak for a long time, as it would be an important source of lifespan in the future.

Overall, the atmosphere is harmonious, and there is no sign of infighting.

Just as Gu An had guessed, the master of the main peak was a carefree Yuan Immortal, and not a low-level one at that.

【Eternal Daoist (Sixth Level of the Carefree Immortal Realm): 267907/780000/1500000】

A maximum lifespan of 1.5 million years!

It seems that surpassing Shenxinzi's 999999 years and reaching the realm of Xiaoyao Yuanxian will bring about a transformation that limits lifespan.

The sixth level of the Carefree Immortal realm grants a lifespan of 780,000 years. The Mystic Immortal realm must have a lifespan exceeding one million years, while the even higher-level Dao Void Immortal realm must have a lifespan of several million years, or even more.

Gu An could no longer estimate how long the Divine Sense Immortals were old monsters who had lived.

Compared to them, Gu An was like a baby.

After interacting with everyone in turn, Gu An began to act as a listener.

The Wannian Summit will host a banquet for high-ranking members of various sects to exchange ideas and discuss doctrines. At the same time, there will be a battle of wits between the peaks. This will serve two purposes: first, to promote healthy internal competition, and second, to showcase the strength of the Human Peak to the world. As for recruiting disciples, that is just a side matter. With the current foundation of the Human Peak, it doesn't care about the number of new disciples at all.

After a long while, the high-level meeting at Human Peak was adjourned, and Gu An flew alone to Dingtian Peak.

He spread his divine sense and had already caught sight of Lu Lingjun and Shen Xinzi.

Shen Xinzi was alright, after all, she had the cultivation of the ninth level of the Immortal Realm, and was treated well wherever she went. However, Lu Lingjun, who was in the Profound Heart Realm, was not so fortunate. Her cultivation was too low, and without the help of the Holy Mother of the Western Spirit, she could only stay in her temporary residence.

She lived on a mountain peak with a wide view, and many cultivators and monsters who passed by cast surprised glances at her, which made her look very unpleasant.

Gu An glanced at it and then looked away, not paying much attention.

After returning to Dingtian Peak, Gu An wandered around, and no disciples recognized him along the way, so he was very relaxed.

Dingtian Peak has many spiral mountain paths, and along the way you can see the disciples' courtyards. Some are planting flowers and grass, some have empty courtyards, and some are raising monsters and insects, which he finds very interesting.

Dingtian Peak has several mountain towns, which are equivalent to the cities of Tai Xuan Sect. You can buy anything you want in them, but they are not as crowded as the cities of Tai Xuan Sect.

As Gu An passed through a mountain town, a voice came from behind him, its tone filled with surprise.

"Master!"

Gu An turned his head and saw Xu Xi walking quickly towards him.

Upon seeing Gu An, her ears turned red again, and she lowered her head shyly, which reminded Gu An of An Xin.

However, Anxin is not shy, but gentle.

Gu An asked with a smile, "Where's your brother? Why are you all alone?"

Xu Xi lowered her head, clutching her sleeves with both hands, and answered softly, "He went to the Dao Discussion Peak to see if he would run into any acquaintances or clansmen."

The Debate Peak is a special venue for receiving guests at the Human Peak. This Wannian Summit has brought the Debate Peak, which has been quiet for many years, back to life.

Seeing her like this, Gu An's smile widened. He thought for a moment, took out a secret manual, handed it to Xu Xi, and said, "Meeting is fate. Consider this magic book as an introductory gift. You can also teach it to Xu Ruohai."

Xu Xi looked up, subconsciously stepped back, and waved her hand, saying, "If it weren't for you, Master, we might not have been able to join the Human Peak. How could we possibly lose our magic? We will work hard to cultivate and exchange our efforts for magic."

Gu An glared at her and said, "Then what kind of master am I? Accept it!"

Xu Xi had no choice but to accept it.

Seeing her at a loss, Gu An smiled and said, "If you're too shy, how about you do me a favor? Have you been busy lately?"

Xu Xi quickly shook her head and said, "No rush, no rush."

"Go to Lundao Peak, the place where the Bitter Sea Buddhist sect resides, and find a person named Lu Lingjun. These days, wherever she wants to go, you accompany her. If she asks, you answer that it was arranged by your master, but do not mention my name. If she has any needs, help her if you can. Your master will not let you suffer any losses afterward," Gu An instructed, then raised his hand and pointed to transmit Lu Lingjun's image into Xu Xi's mind.

Xu Xi was taken aback for a moment, then agreed to the matter.

Gu An waved, and she immediately bowed and took her leave.

Watching Xu Xi's departing figure, Gu An smiled.

The reason for this arrangement was twofold: first, to broaden Lu Lingjun's horizons, and second, to give Xu Xi some experience. This was his impromptu idea.

Gu An continued walking down the mountain, enjoying the scenery along the way.

……

In the courtyard.

Lu Lingjun sat at the stone table, flipping through a book listlessly, while Bai Ling Demon Emperor lay sprawled on the table.

A figure descended from the sky, and Lu Lingjun subconsciously looked over before getting up.

"Lu Lingjun?" Xu Xi asked.

Lu Lingjun nodded subconsciously, feeling somewhat awkward.

Xu Xi was wearing the Taoist robe of Renjian Peak. She had a beautiful face, a dignified posture, and exuded an ethereal aura. Facing her, Lu Lingjun instinctively felt pressure.

The two are inherently different in terms of immortality and mortality! Xu Xi is shy when facing Gu An, but she is very composed when facing Lu Lingjun. It is precisely because of her composure that the aura of the Nirvana Realm is revealed, which makes Lu Lingjun, who is in the Profound Heart Realm, feel pressured.

Lu Lingjun's mind raced as she wondered if she had offended someone.
“My master sent me here. Is there anywhere you want to go? I can go with you. You can ask me for anything you need until the Eternal Summit ends,” Xu Xi said.

She wondered why her master would take care of such a young cultivator.

She then thought, what difference is there between her and her brother and this woman in the eyes of their master?

Perhaps this woman was someone the master had met on the road, and that she caught his eye.

"May I ask who your master is, senior?" Lu Lingjun asked cautiously.

Xu Xi replied, "My master is the peak master of Dingtian Peak."

Peak Master of Dingtian Peak!
Even Lu Lingjun, who had ascended to immortality, could not remain calm at this moment, and the White Spirit Demon Emperor widened his snake eyes.

They had heard from the Holy Mother of the West that the peak masters of the human peaks were all transcendent beings, especially the masters of the divine peaks, and Dingtian Peak was one of the divine peaks.

How could such a transcendent being know her?
For a moment, Lu Lingjun felt uneasy.

……

At dusk, Gu An returned to the Third Medicine Valley.

Ji Xiaoyu came up to her and asked curiously, "Why have you been going out so much these past two days?"

Gu An replied, "A fellow Daoist is hosting a banquet at his home, and I must go as a guest."

Ji Xiaoyu nodded and then said, "I had another dream while cultivating today. Shall we go up and have a chat?"

Why are you talking to me? I don't want to get involved in your karma!
Gu An felt helpless, but immediately replied, "No problem."

The two went up to the attic.

After Ji Xiaoyu placed the restriction, she sat down at her desk. She frowned and said, "I dreamt that I was in a dark space, surrounded by stars, some of them enormous. I was surrounded by many demons, and I was fighting..."

Outer space?

None of the mortals in this world have ever been to the outer heavens, so they cannot imagine what the outer heavens are like. Ji Xiaoyu can only describe it as a dim space.

Gu An listened attentively, and he quickly became certain that Ji Xiaoyu was dreaming of the Heavenly Demon.

Did she visit the Realm of Annihilation in one of her past lives?
He wasn't surprised by this; he had long known that Ji Xiaoyu's identity was extraordinary. What puzzled him was that Ji Xiaoyu's past life not only fought against the Heavenly Demon Army, but she also mentioned a terrifying being.

That terrifying being commands the Heavenly Demons.

“He said that no matter how many times I reincarnate, he will be waiting for me to challenge him…” Ji Xiaoyu said, taking a deep breath. Thinking of the fierce battle in her dream, she couldn’t help but clench her teacup tightly.

Gu An thought for a moment and comforted him, "It's okay. It will probably take many years before you can challenge him, maybe even in this lifetime. Anyway, I can't imagine how you could destroy such a big star with a single sword."

Although his words were unpleasant, they did comfort Ji Xiaoyu.

At this moment, a voice came:
"That was the Heavenly Demon Emperor, who once suppressed the Heavenly Spirit Great World all by himself."

The sound of stealing the Five Elements!

As soon as he finished speaking, he appeared out of thin air in the room.

Ji Xiaoyu frowned, but did not speak.

The identity of the Reincarnation Dao Emperor was revealed by the Five Elements Theft, so Gu An did not stop him from entering.

"Suppress the Heavenly Spirit Great World? How powerful must that be?" Gu An asked cautiously.

Qie Wuxing's expression was solemn. He said, "She is very strong, unimaginably strong. The Reincarnation Dao Emperor once told me that her destiny was to challenge the Heavenly Demon Emperor, but she was reincarnated soon after, and her destiny was passed on to the cycle of reincarnation."

Gu An pressed further, "You mean the Heavenly Demon Emperor won't attack our world on his own initiative?"

“That’s right. The establishment of the Holy Court has stopped the rampage of the Heavenly Demons. As long as the Holy Heavenly Dao has not dissipated, the Heavenly Demon Emperor will not be able to come. The being behind me has also been to the Heavenly Demon Land and was tainted by the curse. It is an incredibly terrifying place that I cannot even imagine. However, judging from her growth rate in this life, it will be difficult for her to come into contact with the Heavenly Demons in less than 30,000 years.”

As he continued, Qie Wuxing turned his gaze to Ji Xiaoyu.

Gu An stopped speaking and pretended to be shocked.

It's normal for mortals to be shocked upon hearing of the existence of the Heavenly Demon; at least, I think Gu An should show such an expression.

After hearing this, Ji Xiaoyu regained her composure.

Stealing the Five Elements continues to tell the story of the Heavenly Demon's power.

He left after quite a while.

The room fell silent.

Gu An sighed and said, "He said that the Heavenly Demon Emperor is an existence that even the Sword Venerable Fudao cannot defeat. This is a good thing. At least you don't have to worry now."

Ji Xiaoyu looked at him calmly and said, "I originally wanted to end my life peacefully, but after hearing what he said, I suddenly don't want to die anymore. I want to cultivate to the point where I can meet the Heavenly Demon Emperor."

Gu An was taken aback for a moment, then said, "It's naturally a good thing that you have bigger goals."

Ji Xiaoyu stood up, turned and left.

As she reached the door, she suddenly turned back and said, "Why don't you not give up? I've dreamt of many people, some of whom started from humble beginnings and eventually became incredibly successful. If you could fight the Heavenly Demon Emperor with me, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

After saying that, she turned her head, pushed open the door, and went out.
