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

Chapter 332 The Great Emperor from the Realm of Annihilation

Gu An's gaze was fixed on the burning scroll on the table, while his divine sense was locked onto the heavens.

Among the seven suns suspended above the vast heaven and earth, a mysterious and enormous creature within one of the suns opened its eyes and stared at Gu An's pavilion.

The painting burned because of this spirit!
Gu An was not flustered. The creatures in those seven days were all at the level of Xiaoyao Yuanxian, and they could not threaten him. However, he could sense that they were burdened with great karma and that there was a powerful being behind them.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, the Holy Court can tolerate them, either because their backer is the Holy Court, or because their backer is feared by the Holy Court.

In either case, Gu An didn't want to alert the enemy.

Soon, the scroll on the table turned to ashes, but it did not affect the tabletop, which was quite magical.

Shen Zhen asked, still shaken, "What was that just now?"

Even with her Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, she couldn't understand how the flames were generated and then disappeared.

At that moment, she felt as if she had offended the heavens.

Gu An took a deep breath and said, "I don't know either. It seems you shouldn't have drawn yesterday's strange phenomenon."

Shen Zhen frowned and asked, "Just yesterday?"

"Probably, since you've painted other pictures before without any problems," Gu An replied.

Thinking about it this way, the cause and effect that Yang Jian was hiding is related to the seven days.

Shen Zhen took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, my cultivation is too low, I really can't afford to offend them."

Upon hearing this, Gu An saw the mysterious creature in the sun close its eyes.

Shen Zhen narrowly escaped a disaster. What happened just now was merely a warning, which also shows that the mysterious creature in the past seven days was not as bloodthirsty and domineering as it seemed.

Gu An sat down again and teased, "You're quite something, aren't you? You actually managed to paint a picture that would incur the wrath of the heavens."

Shen Zhen was not smug, but said seriously, "I do feel that I capture a mysterious state in the process of painting. Every time I finish painting, I feel more relaxed when I cultivate, and many cultivation problems are solved as a result."

"It seems you're about to undergo a complete transformation too," Gu An said with a look of envy.

Shen Zhen then smiled and snorted, "Be more polite to me in the future, and who knows, I might become an immortal one day."

"Yes, Immortal Shen."

"good."

"How shameless!"

"Hmm? You dare to offend a future immortal?"

The two started bickering, and Shen Zhen's fear vanished. She realized that she really needed to be more careful when painting in the future.

It's important to clearly distinguish which parts should be drawn and which shouldn't.

Half an hour later, Shen Zhen left.

Gu Anze lay on the chair watching Yang Jian and Tianzong.

After awakening his past life memories, Yang Jian's cultivation level did not undergo a substantial transformation, but his overall temperament did change.

Gu An watched for a while, and after confirming that Yang Jian was unharmed, he looked away.

In the days that followed, Yang Jian and Tianzong stayed on that island, which was protected by Tianzong's array, so many powerful cultivators could pass by without noticing their presence.

Until summer.

Gu An rode the Blood Prison Great Sage off the teleportation platform, feeling delighted.

Just as he was about to leave, the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord walked up to him and asked curiously, "Gu An, your disciple An Xin has changed quite a bit recently. What have you been teaching her?"

Because Gu An had previously brought Yang Jian out, he believed that An Xin's changes were related to Gu An, which made him even more curious about the existence behind Gu An.

The most mysterious and powerful being in the Tai Xuan Sect is the Sword Master Fu Dao.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord always felt that Gu An was related to the Sword Master Fudao, and that Gu An's mastery of Go might be related to the Sword Master Fudao.

As for the possibility that Gu An is the Sword Master of the Dao, after learning about Gu An's age, he stopped thinking about it.

"My unique techniques are not to be spoken of, unless you become my disciple." Gu An looked down at the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord and said with a smug smile, which made the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord roll his eyes.

"Do you know how high my cultivation level is? How dare you take me as your disciple?" Nine-Fingered Divine Lord said irritably.

Gu An shrugged and said, "The accomplished are my teachers. You are always inferior to me in some aspects. Does that mean your whole life is only about pursuing the level of cultivation? Is it true that one can only achieve enlightenment by absorbing qi?"

After hearing this, the Nine-Fingered God did not refute it, but instead fell into thought.

Gu An patted the Blood Prison Great Sage on the head, urging him to continue.

The Great Sage of Blood Prison has been cultivating the Innate Reincarnation Technique for many years. Although his cultivation is still sealed, he is full of hope for the future.

When the millennium comes, he will surely become an immortal!
The Nine-Fingered Divine Lord turned his head and asked, "Can one attain enlightenment through playing chess?"

"Who can say for sure? No matter what you do, as long as you put your heart into it, anything is possible," Gu An replied casually.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord was clearly seriously injured, and his cultivation was definitely not just at the Wandering Immortal level, but Gu An was too lazy to care about his past.

Looking at Gu An's back, Nine-Fingered Divine Lord sensed an otherworldly aura. This kid seemed to have seen through the mortal world and was even more like an immortal than an immortal.

So, could it be that the reason the Sword Master Fudao stayed at the Taixuan Sect was because of this kid?
Upon hearing this speculation, Nine-Fingered Divine Lord felt it was increasingly likely.

It seems that staying with Tai Xuan Sect was the right choice for him.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord looked at Shen Xinzi, who was reading a book under a tree in the distance. He had previously thought that Shen Xinzi had fallen into demonic possession, but now, looking at Shen Xinzi again, he suddenly felt that Shen Xinzi might be able to attain enlightenment.

Looking at the Third Medicine Valley again, he had a strong feeling that many years later, this valley would produce many figures who would stir up the winds of change.

This amused him, and he felt a surge of anticipation.

Let him see what kind of person the treasure land chosen by the Sword Master Fudao can nurture.

Meanwhile, Gu An went upstairs.

After closing the door, he sat down in a chair, picked up the small green mountain ornament that had been attached to his waist, and placed it on the table.

Today, he sensed something unusual within Qingtian Peak, something related to that mysterious Heavenly Demon.

That guy couldn't hold back anymore!

Gu An probed into Qingtian Peak with his divine sense. Qingtian Peak also contained a world within it. Although it was not as vast as the world within the Divine City, this world was even more expansive than the Tai Cang Continent.

At this moment, Gu An's divine avatar entered a dilapidated temple.

Sunlight streamed through the dilapidated temple walls, elongating Gu An's shadow.

Gu An arrived in front of a wall, which was covered with ancient pictures, pitted and uneven, indicating its age.

"Come out, let's talk. Give me a reason, and I won't destroy you."

Gu An said expressionlessly, his gaze fixed on the wall.

As soon as he finished speaking, wisps of demonic energy seeped out from the dilapidated wall, appearing terrifying even in broad daylight.

Soon, a gaunt old man in black crawled out of the demonic energy, as if he had crossed time and space to come.

His eyes were bloodshot, and as soon as he came out, his gaze was fixed on Gu An.

After landing, he stood up and asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you, and what do you want?"

Gu An replied, "You caused Qingtian Peak to crash into my mountain, and you ask me what I want?"

Upon hearing this, the old man in black looked even more grim, fell silent, and his eyes flickered.

"You came here for that demonic fetus?" Gu An asked.

Upon hearing this, the old man in black's expression changed drastically, and his body trembled.

He stared intently at Gu An and asked, "What did you do to him?"

"I haven't touched him yet, but the trouble he's causing me seems to be getting bigger and bigger." Gu An's tone remained indifferent, making it impossible for the old man in black to guess his thoughts.

The old man in black hesitated before asking, "You have no grudge against us?"

Gu An remained silent.

The old man in black mustered his courage and said, "If you do not wish to get involved in this great cause and effect, you would be best to leave this place. That demonic fetus is the reincarnation of the Great Emperor of the Realm of Annihilation. It has been gestating for tens of thousands of years and cannot be moved. More heavenly demons will descend in the future."

Gu An asked, "What if I inform the Holy Court?"

The old man in black stared at him and said, "How do you think the reincarnation of the Demon Emperor entered the Heavenly Spirit World? With the Holy Heaven gone, your Holy Court is not so righteous and kind."

Is the Holy Heaven absent?

Gu An pondered for a moment, then asked aloud, "So, you've already established contact with some of the high-ranking officials of the Holy Court?"

The old man in black replied, "If you truly do not wish to get involved in cause and effect, then do not ask too many questions. Asking too many questions will inevitably alarm certain beings."

When Gu An asked those questions, he knew that Gu An had nothing to do with the Holy Court, so he didn't want to make enemies with Gu An.

Based on Gu An's methods of suppressing Qingtian Peak alone, he knew he was no match for him.

"What is your purpose in infiltrating the Heavenly Spirit Realm? It's not to target the living beings of this realm, is it? If so, where can I escape to?" Gu An asked slowly.

He was also making a decision.

Should we leave Human Peak?

Logically speaking, if you're afraid of trouble, you should leave.

“The universe is vast, there’s always a place to hide, and our plan can’t begin anytime soon,” the old man in black replied, feeling even more confident after sensing the retreat in Gu An’s tone.

Gu An asked, "What was the cultivation level of that demonic fetus in its previous life?"

The old man in black replied, "That emperor was at the eighth level of the Immortal Path in his previous life, so reaching the seventh level in this life is not difficult for him."

Although the old black man was a carefree immortal, even the realm of wondrous spiritual immortals was difficult for him to reach, let alone a higher realm.

In his mind, the seventh level of the Immortal Path was already an existence that could traverse the universe, unless those eternally indestructible beings made a move.

"The Eighth Heaven of Immortal Cultivation..."

Gu An's face turned ugly, but he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The seventh heaven is Dao Xu Xuanxian, and the eighth heaven is the Divine Thought True Immortal where he resides!

He possesses the cultivation level of the ninth level of the Divine Sense True Immortal Realm!
The old man in black thought he was frightened and continued, "As long as you leave this place, even if I find the demonic fetus, it will take thousands of years for it to fully take shape. You will have plenty of time to find a new place to cultivate."

Thousands of years?
Gu An felt much less pressure. Even with the help of the old man in black, it would still take thousands of years. Without the old man in black, wouldn't it take tens of thousands of years?
Gu An said, "Give me a few more years to think about it. Surely I have that much time?"

The old man in black showed no hostility towards him, so he wanted to give the old man in black a chance.

Upon hearing this, the old man in black's expression softened considerably. He raised his hand in a gesture of respect and said, "Of course, I hope you can understand and not delay your future."

Unable to escape Qingtian Peak or spread the news, he could only try his best to befriend Gu An, using both soft and hard tactics.

The typhoon was howling, it was terrifying!
