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

Chapter 367 Heavenly Demon Turmoil
Nine-Fingered Divine Lord didn't know what Gu An was thinking. Seeing the change in Gu An's expression, he was afraid that the boy would actually believe it, so he said, "I was just kidding you. Don't you even think about your cultivation level? If it were a real immortal treasure, you would be reduced to ashes the moment you touched it."

Gu An breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but outwardly he feigned a grim expression, as if he couldn't accept the fact.

He looked down and saw that Shenxinzi was already in a dead end and was still struggling to survive.

"Let me do it," Gu An said, patting Shen Xinzi on the shoulder.

Shenxinzi took a deep breath and then stood up.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord began collecting pieces, focusing on the black ones. He stared at Gu An and smiled, "My chess skills have improved again. You'd better watch out this time."

Gu An sat down, twirling the Destiny Pen in his hand, and said, "In chess, I cannot lose."

Standing to the side, You Yingying had a strange expression. For some reason, she felt that Gu An spoke with great force.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord made the first move, and the game began.

The onlookers watched the game intently, and Shen Xinzi also wanted to learn from Gu An's chess style.

Full of confidence, Nine-Fingered Divine Lord attacked quickly, without resorting to the old man's tactic of attrition.

Half an hour later, Gu An stood up and left under the admiring gazes of the onlookers, with You Yingying quickly following after him.

Shen Xinzi looked at the chessboard with admiration on his face.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord stared intently at the chessboard with a gloomy face.

For some reason, he felt that the gap between himself and Gu An was widening, which he couldn't understand.

Gu An was about to go see Long Qing, but You Yingying kept following him.

He could sense that You Yingying had noticed his changes, but he wasn't flustered. In the current Tianling Great World, it was impossible for anyone to see through his cultivation level.

No matter how much his temperament changed, he was still at the Nascent Soul stage, so neither Nine-Finger Divine Lord nor Divine Heart Child paid any attention to the change in his temperament.

The two began to chat. Gu An mentioned the Star Sea Sect. Xuan Tianyi had returned to the Tai Xuan Sect, and An Hao and Li Ya had also left the Star Sea Sect. Although the Tai Xuan Sect and the Star Sea Sect still maintained a cooperative relationship, the Star Sea Sect was rarely mentioned within the Tai Xuan Sect.

You Yingying came from the Star Sea Sect, but she has not returned since coming to the Tai Xuan Sect.

Gu An used to be wary of the trouble her identity as a demon would cause, but now he doesn't care.

The Realm of Nirvana is teeming with celestial demons, and You Yingying's karma is not as great as Long Qing's.

"Do you want to cultivate?" Gu An suddenly asked.

The reason why You Yingying could not break through was because of the suppression of the Heavenly Demon's karma. Perhaps her past life was afraid of being discovered, so her reincarnation could not break through to a higher realm.

With Gu An's current abilities, he can erase the causal restrictions within her body.

You Yingying glanced at Gu An and said, "Of course I want to, but my identity is special, so I can't cultivate."

"What if I could help you?"

Upon hearing this, You Yingying's eyes were filled with a profound meaning. She shook her head and said, "No need. I'd rather live my life honestly and be reincarnated as soon as possible. I don't want to become a menace."

After hearing this, Gu An fell silent and did not respond.

"Why don't you ask me why I think I'm a menace?" You Yingying said, dissatisfied.

This guy is really good at chatting with other people, so why does he always fail when it comes to her?

Gu An turned to scrutinize her and asked, "Do I still need to ask?"

This sarcastic remark infuriated You Yingying, who lunged at him, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws.

The two bickered and teased each other all the way until they finally arrived at a forest. The grass was covered with snow, and Long Qing was practicing his boxing in the snow.

Eighty-two-year-old Long Qing looks very young, with a strong physique, and every punch he throws is full of power.

Upon seeing Gu An and his companion arrive, Long Qing smiled and greeted them.

An Xin raised him before he was four years old, and You Yingying raised him after he turned four. In his heart, You Yingying was like his mother, and he respected her very much. Gu An even felt that You Yingying had the highest status in his heart.

"Master, godmother, what do you think of my boxing technique?"

As Long Qing spoke, he began to practice his boxing.

Gu An and You Yingying stood side by side, watching his fist technique. The wind from his punches blew in all directions, and the sound of his robes fluttering echoed through the woods.

You Yingying looked at Long Qing's figure with a face full of pride.

In her heart, Long Qing was also her child. Because of Long Qing's appearance, she was no longer sentimental and lived a fulfilling life every day. She looked forward to the day when Long Qing would become famous throughout the world.

Gu An compared Long Qing with Yang Jian, who was the same age. In terms of physical strength, Long Qing was a level above Yang Jian, but Long Qing's reaction speed was not as good as Yang Jian's, which might be related to his cultivation level.

It's already quite extraordinary that Long Qing, who has no spiritual power, can possess such strength.

After Long Qing finished demonstrating his fist technique, he turned around and came to Gu An and the other man. He raised his fist and said, "I feel that I can now spar with Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Master, how about we have a spar?"

Seeing his spirited demeanor, Gu An couldn't help but laugh out loud.

You Yingying glared at Long Qing and said, "You have no manners! You even dare to provoke your master? Is it because I haven't hit you in a while that you've forgotten how I taught you?"

Upon hearing this, Long Qing quickly explained, "It was just a friendly spar, nothing more. The main reason is that there are no other Nascent Soul cultivators in the Medicine Valley, and I didn't want to cause trouble for the inner sect..."

"It's okay, come on."

Gu An smiled, and Long Qing beamed with joy, quickly thanking him.

You Yingying looked at Gu An and said nervously, "This kid doesn't know his own strength, you have to be careful."

Gu An shrugged and said, "Please, I used to be a genius on the Golden List." The Golden List and Heavenly List established by the Tai Xuan Sect are still authoritative, and each Golden List of geniuses can attract geniuses from all over the continent to compete. However, Gu An has never participated again.

Upon hearing this, You Yingying immediately walked to the side.

Long Qing stood ten steps away and began to stretch his muscles. He was very excited, as he had long wanted to test Gu An's abilities.

There has always been a legend in the Third Medicine Valley that Gu An is very powerful!

Although he cannot compare to great immortal cultivators like the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord and the Divine Heart Child, Gu An is definitely a strong one within the same realm.

Gu An held the Fate-Determining Brush and beckoned to Long Qing.

Long Qing immediately stepped forward and swiftly closed the distance to Gu An.

So fast!

You Yingying's eyes couldn't keep up with Long Qing's speed at all, and her pupils suddenly dilated.

Long Qing threw a punch, like a dragon emerging from the abyss, accompanied by a loud bang. Gu An reached out and used the Life-Stabilizing Brush to block Long Qing's fist, preventing it from touching his chest.

Long Qing's expression changed drastically. He could no longer push his right arm forward. At this moment, he felt Gu An's strength, as steady as Mount Tai.

His greatest reliance was his strength, and when his strength was far inferior to that of his opponent, how could he not panic?

Gu An's lips curled up, and his right hand, holding the Fate-Determining Pen, suddenly lifted it upwards, directly bringing Long Qing into the air. He then quickly raised his leg and kicked off.

boom!
Long Qing was kicked in the chest, his eyes bulged out, and his consciousness went blank for a moment.

Everything happened extremely fast, and throughout the entire process, You Yingying didn't even see how Gu An made his move.

She only saw Long Qing lunge at Gu An, and then be kicked away.

By the time she realized what was happening, Long Qing had crashed into a large tree, causing the snow on the tree trunk to fall and nearly bury him.

You Yingying glared at Gu An and said, "Why did you hit so hard?"

After saying that, she ran quickly towards Long Qing.

Gu An sighed helplessly, thinking to himself, "You were worried that I would be hurt by him before, but now you've become the good guy?"
With You Yingying's help, Long Qing sat up. He opened his eyes and looked at Gu An in front of him. For some reason, he suddenly felt awe. Gu An's figure made him feel invincible.

Even his second master, Shenxinzi, could not give him this feeling.

"You still need to practice more, Qing'er. I'll be waiting for you to challenge me next time." Gu An's laughter reached Long Qing's ears, pulling her out of her awe.

He took a deep breath and nodded heavily, his arrogance completely vanishing.

The winter snow is still falling.

While Long Qing was engrossed in his attack, the great cultivators from beyond the heavens were filled with worry.

After the anomalies in the Silent Realm ceased, the Heavenly Demons could no longer contain themselves and began to approach the Heavenly Spirit Great World.

They suspected the anomalies in the Realm of Annihilation were due to the Heavenly Spirit Great World, while the Heavenly Spirit Great World suspected they were plotting something.

In the days that followed, more and more Heavenly Demons flew out of the Realm of Annihilation and flew to the cosmic region near the Heavenly Spirit Great World, confronting the great cultivators on the outer light layer, clearly distinguishing themselves from each other.

Time flies and the year is drawing to a close.

This day.

Gu An is currently sparring with Tian Yao'er, Tian Qing, and Tian Bai in the secluded cave.

The three demons attacked him, and although they could not gain the upper hand, each of them was agile and their magic was quite powerful.

Holding the Fate-Determining Brush, Gu An easily blocked and dodged each of their spells.

He was secretly pleased. Although the three demons had been staying in Nianchu Cave and the secluded paradise for many years, their strength had been steadily improving.

Any one of the three demons could easily defeat Long Qing; together, they could even withstand a cultivator at the Integration Realm.

The strongest, Tian Yao'er, has reached the seventh level of the Void Transcending Realm. In addition to her own exceptional talent, she has also benefited from Gu An's investment of pills.

Tian Yao'er stopped and said, "Let's stop here."

Tianqing and Tianbai stopped fighting. The two demons were panting heavily, and sweat soaked their foreheads and the hair around their ears.

Their eyes were filled with fervor as they looked at Gu An. They immediately pounced on him, each grabbing an arm, and began praising their master for being so amazing.

Gu An had gotten used to their actions. What could he do but indulge the demons he had raised?

Tian Yao'er came to Gu An and said, "Master, I've been feeling uneasy lately. Could you take a look at me?"

Gu An asked in surprise, "What do you think?"

Tian Yao'er raised her hands, grabbed the hem of her clothes in front of her chest, and prepared to take off her clothes.

"Stop, stop joking around, tell me how you feel in detail," Gu An quickly said.

He suspected that the three fairies were plotting against him.

Tian Yao'er pouted, then talked about her recent feelings. When she cultivated, her blood and qi would easily become agitated, making it impossible for her to calm down and cultivate.

She even felt something calling to her, which made her very uneasy.

Upon hearing this, Gu An looked up and saw a sun reflected in his pupils, within which was a phoenix.

As the Heavenly Demons approached in force, the seven suns in the heavens were also alarmed, and the mysterious creatures within them were awakened, their eyes fixed on the Heavenly Demons, ready for battle.
