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

Chapter 370 The Descent
Seeing that the Demon Chaser was about to collapse, Gu An was too lazy to explain. With a wave of his Fate-Determining Brush, he turned the Demon Chaser into ashes and disappeared quickly.

Throughout the entire process, Haolong remained silent, staring blankly at Gu An until the demon-chasing demon disappeared, at which point it finally came to its senses.

It swallowed hard, its gaze towards Gu An filled with fear.

Gu An's power exceeded its imagination, and it had not spent many years with Gu An. How could it not be afraid when it saw such methods after such a long separation?
Seeing its expression, Gu An found it amusing. He immediately became interested and stared at Haolong with a blank expression.

His gaze made Haolong even more frightened, and he subconsciously stepped back.

"What happened today..." Gu An said softly, deliberately leaving the tone ambiguous.

Haolong quickly said, "I absolutely will not tell anyone! Master, please believe me!"

Gu An twirled the Fate-Determining Brush in his hand, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "This brush of mine can kill people from very, very far away. If you break the agreement, you understand what will happen."

Haolong trembled with fear and repeatedly assured them.

Gu An turned and walked towards the ancient vine tree. His main purpose in making his move today was to verify whether the Fate-Determining Brush could seize lifespan.

The result was very good, just as he wished.

He created the Fate-Determining Pen without using any external objects, and later he used it to seize lifespans more easily.

In this battle against the Demon Chaser, Gu An killed over a hundred people, all of whom were directly related to the Demon Chaser and would inevitably be drawn into this karmic feud sooner or later. Gu An was essentially making them meet their end ahead of time.

This is the principle of cause and effect.

Being able to glimpse the evolution of all things is the foundation for participating in the way of destiny.

The principles of cause and effect are profound and unfathomable. Gu An has only scratched the surface, yet he already possesses abilities that defy even the most divine predictions.

This move earned him over 40,000 years of lifespan, but for him now, that amount of lifespan is nothing.

Haolong shrank in size and cautiously approached Gu An.

"Master, you must be the Sword Master Fudao of the Taixuan Sect?" Haolong asked cautiously.

Without turning his head, Gu An said, "The less you know, the safer you are, understand?"

These words startled Haolong, who quickly nodded in agreement.

The man and the dragon arrived under the ancient vine tree. The tree stretched out two vines and began to massage Gu An's shoulders, which made Haolong look stunned.

Two hours later, Gu An and Hao Long left the Eight Scenery Cave. Gu An went to Tianya Valley, while Hao Long went to find the cultivators of the Ancient Hao Sect.

Amidst the bustling Tai Xuan Sect, no one knew that a Xuanxin Realm cultivator had vanished into thin air.

After the Spring Festival, Gu An's life returned to normal. He traveled between various medicine valleys, occasionally taking An Xin to Renjian Peak, or visiting Ye Lan and Zhen Qin alone.

The sects whose herbs had been harvested by the mysterious entity gradually returned to peace. Even the Holy Court could not find the reason, so they had no choice but to give up. Moreover, such a situation has not occurred again recently.

Although he had already reached the Daoist Immortal Realm, Gu An would not stop developing. He was still expanding the high-level medicinal herbs in the secluded cave.

Time passes quickly.

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The number of celestial demons beyond the heavens has exceeded five million. They lurk in the universe, seemingly wanting to tear the Heavenly Spirit World apart.

The Holy Court, the Immortal Dynasty, and various religious sects were on high alert, scattered in various places to prevent the Heavenly Demon from infiltrating.

On a massive meteorite, two men shrouded in black mist stood side by side. Their faces looked remarkably alike, and both wore black scale armor, though one of them was much taller.

"The Holy Court remains silent, so it seems our intelligence is accurate."

"Could the commotion before have been caused by the reincarnation of the Holy Heaven?"

"It is highly likely that only Sheng Tian within the Tianling Great World possesses such abilities."

"In that case, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"His Majesty's target is that great emperor; we must not forget that."

The two men in black armor whispered among themselves, their eyes fixed on the Heavenly Spirit Realm, filled with hostility.

As they were chatting, they suddenly realized something and turned their heads to look. They saw thick fog rolling in from the depths of darkness.

The two men in black armor changed their expressions slightly and vanished from their spot.

……

It is the time of year when spring transitions into summer.

Gu An and Xuan Tianyi drank together under the tree, exchanging ideas on writing books.

Xuan Tianyi was extremely fond of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, believing it to be no less than Journey to the West.

“I used to think that Investiture of the Gods was the pinnacle, but I never expected that you could also write Journey to the West and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. You are really amazing. Why can’t I write such books?” Xuan Tianyi looked at Gu An and said with admiration.

Gu An shook his head and said, "Your Journey to Qingxia is also good. Don't write other books in the future, just focus on Journey to Qingxia. If you write a long book, it will definitely become a classic."

Xuan Tianyi finds writing serious books uninteresting; he has written quite a few over the years, but hasn't made a name for himself.

"Really? But many people are embarrassed to say they like The Legend of Qingxia?" Xuan Tianyi asked suspiciously.

Gu An asked, "Do you want to write a book that many people have read but rarely mention, or a masterpiece in the hearts of a few, a book that a few people can savor for a lifetime?"

Upon hearing this question, Xuan Tianyi fell silent.

As the two were talking, a loud bang came from the sky, startling them so much that they looked up. Not only them, but everyone else in the valley looked up as well. What they saw was a spectacular sight of a meteorite swarm falling from the horizon. Countless meteorites, trailing long plumes of smoke, fell and pierced through the sea of ​​clouds, resembling an apocalyptic scene that made people uneasy even from afar.

"What is that?" Gu An asked, frowning, but inwardly he thought, "It's finally here."

The demons began their invasion. Led by a carefree immortal, they easily broke through the outer defenses, where many demons were hidden among the meteorites.

"I don't know, I'll go take a look."

Xuan Tianyi left after saying these words and disappeared from the spot.

Gu An stood up and walked towards his attic.

Anxin ran up to him and asked nervously, "Master, what exactly is that?"

"I'm not sure either, but we're definitely safe inside the Tai Xuan Sect," Gu An replied.

Hearing this, An Xin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She understood the unspoken meaning in her master's words: the mysterious being from beyond the heavens posed no threat to him!
As Gu An moved forward, he looked up and saw a meteorite hurtling towards the Taicang Continent.

Shenxinzi has already gone to meet them, ready to protect the Taicang Continent.

Gu An did not intend to make a move. After his breakthrough, the Heavenly Demons attacked, perhaps there was some scheme behind it.

As long as the mainland can handle this catastrophe, he won't need to intervene, which will give others a chance to hone their skills.

In fact, the Sword Master Fudao has not made a move for a long time. There are conflicts of all sizes happening every day within the Taixuan Sect, but Gu An has not intervened.

This also made the world aware of the attitude of the Sword Master of Supporting the Dao.

As long as it does not threaten the foundation of the Tai Xuan Sect or the safety of the continent, the Sword Master Fudao will not take action.

After Gu An went upstairs and entered the house, Shen Xinzi had already shattered the meteorite, and a large number of Heavenly Demons rushed out of it, the strongest of whom had reached the Immortal Realm. They besieged Shen Xinzi, putting him in a difficult battle.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord rushed to provide support, and immortal cultivators from across the continent also followed suit.

The Taicang Continent is just a microcosm; all regions of the world have begun a defensive war.

The battle beyond the heavens was even more massive, with the ancient immortal emperors of the Immortal Dynasty and the holy ancestors of the Holy Court joining forces to fight against the Free Immortal Demon. The two sides were evenly matched, and the Divine Sense True Immortals also used their supernatural powers. Even the seven beings hidden in the sun flew out to join the battle.

Phoenix, Dragon, Qilin, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Bluebird, Kun!

Their opponents are equally colossal, ferocious beasts from the Realm of Annihilation.

The battle area expanded rapidly, with the Heavenly Spirit Great World at its center, and figures fighting in all directions.

The Emperor of the Sun, Moon, and Underworld stepped out of the house, gazing up at the sky with a calm expression.

Just then, Long Qing walked past him. The boy's eyes were fixed on the distance, his brows furrowed.

The gaze of the Sun, Moon and Underworld Emperors fell upon him, and their brows suddenly furrowed.

After the Heavenly Demon descended upon the world, Long Qing became uncontrollably irritable, which is why he wandered around trying to dispel his emotions.

"Why is the karma surrounding him changing..." the Sun and Moon Emperor wondered in surprise.

And it happened at this time of year!

This child must be related to the Heavenly Demon!
The Sun and Moon Emperors became even more interested in Long Qing, as they had previously felt that Long Qing had a special physique.

Not long after, a fierce wind blew from afar, the wind and waves stirred up by the great battle.

Gu An sat at the table, holding the Qingxia Travelogue in his hands, while using his divine sense to survey the entire world.

The foundation of the Heavenly Spirit Great World is truly profound. In such a short time, numerous Divine Thought True Immortals, Dao Void Profound Immortals, and Wonderful Method Spirit Immortals have already emerged.

As things stand, the Heavenly Demon cannot shake the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

Once the great battle between the immortals in the heavens ends, this great battle will also end.

However, Gu An noticed that many of the Heavenly Demons did not fight after they descended, but instead chose to infiltrate the human world. Some possessed living beings, while others disintegrated and merged into the rules of reincarnation, and were then sucked into the vortex of reincarnation in the sky.

Gu An suddenly realized that this group of Heavenly Demons was not of a unified camp. Those Heavenly Demons who did not participate in the battle had intricate connections with Long Qing and were very likely there to find him.

His divine sense suddenly landed on the Falling Moon Divine Lake.

The Fallen Moon Divine Lake was also attacked by the Heavenly Demon, but their predicament was even greater because a Heavenly Demon from the Wonderful Immortal Realm was lurking in their wake.

Gu An's focus on Falling Moon Divine Lake was mainly due to Zhu Xi, the Primordial Devouring Body.

Under his watchful eye, Zhu Xi escaped from Falling Moon Lake alone, riding a flying sword and holding an oil lamp, which made her invisible.

As evening approached, after the crisis on the Taicang Continent was resolved, Zhu Xi landed on an island. She hid in the woods, and the oil lamp remained lit.

What she didn't notice was that a Heavenly Demon was hidden on this island. Although his cultivation was only at the Loose Immortal Realm, he was far beyond her ability to defeat.

Her oil lamp could not escape the gaze of the Heavenly Demon.

The demon is approaching her.

Zhu Xi, who was meditating, frowned. She opened her eyes, looked around, and felt a sense of panic.

She had a feeling that disaster was about to strike. She trusted her intuition, which was why she panicked, because she found danger all around her and she had no chance to escape.
