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

Chapter 340 The Dark Emperor from the War Court

As evening approached, Gu An stood up, stretched, and looked out at the sky.

The deep red coffin had already reached beyond the heavens and was about to fall into the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

Anxin walked over and asked, "Are you going back?"

Gu An nodded slightly and immediately went to pack her things.

She bought some trinkets at Dingtian Peak, intending to bring them back to the Third Medicine Valley. As long as the relationship between Renjian Peak and Gu An wasn't exposed, he wouldn't stop her.

Anxin moved quickly. After tidying up, she walked briskly to Gu An and saw that her master was looking up. She subconsciously looked up at him.

She saw a shooting star streak across the sky, falling towards the distant earth.

“What is that…” Anxin muttered.

Gu An did not answer her. After watching the shooting star disappear into the distance, he waved his sleeve and vanished from the spot with her.

After returning to the Third Medicine Valley, the master and apprentice went back to their respective rooms.

Gu An sat in the chair, seemingly admiring the night view outside the window, but in reality, his divine sense was focused on the deep red coffin in the distance.

The crimson coffin landed on a continent ten times larger than the Tai Cang Continent, bringing a cataclysmic calamity to all living beings on that continent.

In a very short time, that continent was turned into a sea of ​​fire, 90% of the living beings perished, and the rest fled into the ocean.

The impact of the crimson coffin striking the earth continues to expand, affecting more oceans and land.

It is far from the Taicang Continent, but in general, it is even farther from the Human Peak, which rules out the possibility that it came for the Demon Embryo.

After it crashed to the ground, the deep red coffin remained motionless at the bottom of the giant pit, with no sign of the coffin lid being opened.

The moon sets and the sun rises; a night passes.

Before going downstairs, Gu An noticed that the deep red coffin had not yet been opened, so he stopped thinking about it and went downstairs to practice with his disciples.

Practicing morning exercises is a tradition of the Third Medicine Valley, and the great cultivators who come to play chess occasionally participate as well.

During the practice, discipline was not strict, and the disciples were able to communicate among themselves, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

After morning exercises, You Yingying came to Shen Xinzi, hesitant to speak.

Shenxinzi sat cross-legged under the tree, holding a copy of Journey to the West in his hands.

"Has your heart been inexplicably pounding since last night? Do you feel uneasy?" Shenxinzi asked calmly without looking up at her.

You Yingying nodded quickly and said, "I have never felt this way before, I don't want to... If I am to become like that, you can kill me beforehand."

Shenxinzi looked up at her, his expression surprised.

You Yingying thought he was questioning her, so she explained in a low voice, "The Heavenly Demon shouldn't be so easy to kill. My suicide definitely won't work. You are a highly accomplished monk, you know how to exorcise demons, and I don't want to hurt anyone."

Shenxinzi gave her a deep look and said, "Don't worry, you will find it very difficult to transform into a Heavenly Demon in this lifetime until you die. The reason you feel this way is probably because the Heavenly Demon's natural enemy has descended."

He had also sensed the commotion last night. His cultivation level was high, and his unease far exceeded that of You Yingying. That was why he picked up Journey to the West to try and distract himself.

"Really? What is the natural enemy of the Heavenly Demon? What should I do?" You Yingying asked hurriedly.

Shen Xinzi lowered his head and said, "You don't need to do anything. Just focus on your cultivation and you'll get used to it."

You Yingying was stunned for a moment, and could only leave with her heart full of thoughts.

Meanwhile, Gu An, riding the Blood Prison Great Sage to patrol the Medicine Valley, overheard You Yingying's conversation with Shen Xinzi. The natural enemy of the Heavenly Demon?
Gu An took the Azure Sky Peak from his waist, then lifted it up and probed it with his divine sense.

He then went inside the dilapidated temple.

He stared at the wall, about to speak, when the old man in black appeared and asked, "Have you thought it through?"

Gu An shook his head and changed the subject, asking, "Do you Heavenly Demons have any natural enemies?"

Upon hearing this, the old man in black frowned and asked warily, "What do you mean? What natural enemy does a demon have?"

Gu An waved his sleeve, and an illusion appeared between the two of them. When the old man in black saw the deep red coffin, his expression changed drastically.

Seeing the change in his expression, Gu An was not in a hurry and waited for him to speak first.

The old man in black clenched his fists in his sleeves, took a deep breath, and gritted his teeth, saying, "He came for the Great Emperor, but his arrival will also bring calamity to this world. The fact that he was able to enter means that the Holy Court also intends to use him to exterminate the Heavenly Demons within the Heavenly Spirit Great World."

"Who is he?" Gu An asked.

The old man in black replied, "His name is the Dark War Emperor. No one knows his origins. He once stirred up a bloodbath in the Realm of Annihilation. I only know that he comes from the ancient War Court."

War Court?

The faction founded by Long Zhan?
Gu An remained calm and pressed on, "And what is the background of Zhan Ting?"

The old man in black looked at him and then said, "The War Court is a legend in the Realm of Annihilation. Legend has it that there was once a force that ruled the Great Thousand Worlds and stood at the pinnacle of the Immortal Path. Whether it perished or left, no one knows. This is all I know."

"What realm is the Dark War Emperor's cultivation level?"

"I don't know, it's definitely very high."

The old man in black shook his head, saying that the thought of the Dark War Emperor made his scalp tingle.

Gu An suddenly said, "Now it seems that I don't need to leave. Once the Dark War Emperor destroys the Heavenly Demon, the Holy Court will take him away, right?"

Upon hearing this, the old man in black panicked and said, "The Dark War Emperor is capricious and extremely violent. He will surely bring calamity to the Human Peak. If he devours the Great Emperor's Demonic Embryo, he might even start a war with the Holy Court. You will not be able to escape the trouble either!"

Upon hearing this, Gu An was not alarmed; he simply stared at him intently.

The old man in black gritted his teeth, suddenly knelt down, and said in a deep voice, "Please help the Great Emperor, senior. If you can help the Great Emperor conceive and be born, my clan will owe you a debt of gratitude. I will definitely bring this matter back to my clan. You will gain the friendship of my clan, and you will have an ally when you travel in the Realm of Annihilation in the future!"

"Are you kidding me? What if he tries to attack me?" Gu An said coldly.

The old man in black looked up and explained, “Don’t worry, he has forgotten his past life. He is going through his own cycle of reincarnation. This is when he is at his weakest. When he is born, he will be a new life. You can even take him as your disciple. When he attains enlightenment in the future, he will definitely not forget your kindness!”

After hearing this, Gu An hesitated.

“If you don’t do this, the Dark War Emperor will surely come looking for you when he is born. Once the Great Emperor is born, he will undergo the baptism of reincarnation, concealing the karma of the Heavenly Demon, so that the Dark War Emperor will not be able to find him,” the old man in black said urgently.

It was as if the Dark Emperor was about to strike at their doorstep at any moment.

Gu An hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How can we help him?"

The old man in black was overjoyed and immediately taught him a miraculous technique.

Gu An listened attentively and memorized it after just one listen.

The old man in black urged, "We must act quickly. If the Dark War Emperor finds us, he can block our clan's path to becoming an emperor. We must not let him succeed!"
