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

Chapter 371 The Demon Emperor, Nine Abyss Realm
As night fell, the forest fell into a deathly silence, devoid of any insect chirping.

Zhu Xi stood up, holding an oil lamp in her left hand and a sword in her right, nervously looking around.

Sudden.

She heard the sound of wind and instinctively turned her head to look. Then she heard the sound of wind coming from another direction. Before she could turn her head, she heard the sound of wind coming from all directions.

A gust of wind, carrying leaves, rushed towards her face, startling her so much that her eyes widened.

Gu An, who was far away in the Third Medicine Valley, watched this scene without making a move.

Zhu Xi was no match for the Scattered Immortal Realm cultivator and lost consciousness immediately after being attacked.

She was attacked by a female demon who wanted to possess her body. However, as soon as her soul entered her body, the female demon suddenly felt a terrifying devouring force.

The female demon instinctively tried to escape, but only part of her soul flew out; her lower half of her soul was sucked in and could not be pulled away.

Gu An raised an eyebrow, wondering just how much spiritual energy Zhu Xi had absorbed.
This guy is only twenty-three years old. No matter how much spiritual energy he absorbs, he shouldn't be able to shake a rogue immortal.

Could she be hiding an even bigger secret?
No matter how much the female demon struggled, she couldn't escape the devouring power within Zhu Xi's body. Before long, she was devoured by Zhu Xi.

Zhu Xi fell to the ground, and the forest returned to calm.

It wasn't until an hour later that Zhu Xi opened her eyes. Her eyes were dazed. Once she regained consciousness, she quickly got up and looked around warily.

Seeing this, Gu An withdrew his divine sense.

This woman is extraordinary; she may very well become a world-renowned figure in the future!

Gu An had no intention of recruiting or taking him on as a disciple; he was simply curious.

In the future, when I have nothing to do, I can observe Zhu Xi and see what her life is like. This feeling is like watching a TV series in my past life.

Gu An smiled and then began to read Qingxia's Travelogue seriously.

The moon sets and the sun rises.

As a new day dawned, the continent of Taicang returned to its former tranquility.

When the disciples gathered to practice their exercises, they were all discussing the great battle that had taken place in the distance the day before, wondering what had happened.

While practicing his exercises, Gu An observed the world with his divine sense.

Many places have also suffered greatly from the ravages of the Heavenly Demons, but fortunately the Holy Court and the Immortal Dynasty acted even faster, eliminating demons and providing rescue everywhere.

In this calamity that affected all living beings, the Immortal Dynasty performed exceptionally well, almost catching up with the Holy Court. As they saved more and more lives, Gu An clearly felt the Immortal Dynasty's fortune increasing.

This calamity is actually an opportunity for the Immortal Dynasty.

Gu An spotted An Hao watching the battle. After all, even the weakest Heavenly Demon possessed immortal cultivation, far beyond Gu An's current capabilities.

As Gu An was observing the world, Shen Xinzi returned. Many disciples looked at him, thinking that he must know what had happened yesterday.

After morning exercises ended, Long Qing rushed to Shen Xinzi and asked him why he had left.

"The Heavenly Demon descended yesterday, but fortunately the crisis on this continent has been resolved."

Shenxinzi answered, but his expression was very unnatural.

Yesterday's battle brought back some unfamiliar memories, which he suspected were memories from his past life.

He had long known that he was the reincarnation of a celestial demon, but through years of reflection, he was ready to accept this fact. He believed that as long as his will was firm, he would not become a demon. He even fantasized about using his identity to convert the celestial demon.

"Heavenly Demon?" Long Qing's eyes widened.

Shenxinzi began to recount the horrors of the Heavenly Demon, which filled Long Qing with dread.

Gu An watched from afar and found the scene quite amusing: two reincarnated demons talking about the threat of the demon, neither of them knowing the other's true identity.

He waved to the Great Sage of Blood Prison and then walked towards the outer city gate.

Although the great battle outside the heavens is not over yet, it seems that the Heavenly Demon will surely be defeated. This has made him lose interest in the battle and prepare to visit the outer city.

the other side.

Sanqingshan.

Li Ya sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, gazing up at the sky, lost in thought.

A soul flew over; it was none other than the Li family patriarch who had previously been hidden within Li Ya's body.

"What are you thinking about?" The Li family patriarch came to Li Ya's side and asked.

"Ancestor, what do you think the outer heavens are like? How many levels of immortality are there?" Li Ya asked softly.

The Li family patriarch said irritably, "How would I know? You have already surpassed my former self. I am still waiting for you to take me to see a wider world."

Upon hearing this, Li Ya smiled, stood up, and stretched.

"Then you should prepare. I'll be going down the mountain to explore soon. I've found that I still need to travel around. If I just stay in seclusion to cultivate, my cultivation level will increase rather slowly. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll fall further and further behind An Hao."

Upon hearing Li Ya's words, the Li family patriarch smiled and said, "I really want to see how powerful the Mysterious City is."

Li Ya's lips curled up, his eyes filled with ambition.

"Didn't the patriarch say that the next era will be one of fierce competition among geniuses? I can't be absent from that."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and white flames ignited in his palm.

The patriarch of the Li family looked at Li Ya, stroked his beard and smiled, his heart filled with emotion.

It's only been four hundred years, and this kid has already achieved so much. His future potential is unimaginable.

The patriarch of the Li family smiled even more as he recalled the scene of meeting Li Ya.

……

In the universe, scorching heat waves raged across the starry sky. The Ancient Immortal Emperor and the Holy Ancestor stopped, their gazes fixed on a figure in the distance.

The figure was shrouded in black mist, resembling a demon lord from the abyss, with a terrifying appearance.

He had a full head of white hair, a pair of forward-curving horns, a pale face, and eyes without pupils. He wore a black feathered robe, beneath which were chainmails that gleamed with a cold light.

He is the Great Emperor of Calamity, a carefree immortal among the heavenly demons.

Looking at the Demon Emperor, the Ancient Immortal Emperor and the Holy Ancestor were filled with apprehension.

The two sides have been fighting for several months. The Ancient Immortal Emperor and the Holy Ancestor fought two against one, but they failed to gain the upper hand. They could only block the progress of the Calamity Demon Emperor and prevent him from setting foot in the starry sky of the Heavenly Spirit Great World.

"The aura of the Heavenly Demon is already less than one-tenth of what it was, yet you still insist on doing this?" the Ancient Immortal Emperor said, his tone icy.

The Demon Emperor's lips curled into a sinister and eerie smile. He said, "Do you all think that the reason I allowed the Heavenly Demons to invade the Heavenly Spirit Realm was simply to kill more harmless mortals?"

Upon hearing this, the ancient immortal emperor and the holy ancestor's expressions changed drastically.

Before they could ask any further questions, the Demon Emperor was engulfed by the black mist surrounding him. The black mist surged violently and began to expand rapidly.

The ancient immortal emperor and the holy ancestor immediately took action, their immense magical power falling on the black mist, yet they were unable to disperse it.

As it surged and churned, the black mist condensed into a giant black sphere, which, from a distance, resembled a black hole.

"What kind of supernatural power is this?" the Ancient Immortal Emperor asked with a gloomy expression.

The Holy Ancestor did not answer; he too could not see through it, but a strong sense of unease welled up within him.

at the same time.

Within the Tai Xuan Sect branch of the Tai Cang Continent.

In the courtyard.

Gu An was drinking with Ye Lan and Zhen Qin. Zhen Qin was talking about the recent major events in the branch sect. An elder suppressed a disciple, resulting in the elder's sudden death. His death was gruesome, causing an uproar throughout the sect.

Zhen Qin has great potential as a storyteller, and her tone is very engaging and emotionally charged. Gu An also cooperates well with her, and he will show a nervous look when she gets to the key points.

Ye Lan looked at Gu An, occasionally amused by his expressions.

Zhen Qin suddenly stood up, drew her sword and pointed it to the side, glaring as she said, "I held this sword to that man's neck and questioned him about why he harmed his own master. That guy was quite stubborn. Even with the evidence right in front of him, he still refused to admit it."

Gu An was about to speak when he suddenly sensed something, and his eyes flashed with a subtle expression.

Just as Zhen Qin was about to continue speaking, her expression suddenly changed.

Not only her, Ye Lan's expression also changed drastically.

"What's going on... I feel like something is grabbing me?" Zhen Qin said in a panic, and she subconsciously looked at Ye Lan.

Ye Lan's body trembled, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Me too, I can't break free."

In Gu An's eyes, a mysterious causal force was binding Ye Lan and Zhen Qin. Not only the two of them, but many others in the branch sect were also bound by this causal force.

He looked up and saw that the sky was a magnificent blue, but in his eyes, there was a huge black net that no living being could see through. This black net was cast down and connected with countless living beings in the world.

Gu An's divine sense followed the black net and saw the huge black sphere in the universe. In an instant, he understood the divine power of the Demon Emperor.

No wonder there are so many reincarnated demons who possess other bodies; it turns out they are trying to integrate into the rules of the Heavenly Spirit World.

Judging from the trend of the causal power of the Demon Emperor, it seems that he intends to pull many living beings in the Heavenly Spirit World into that black sphere.

Gu An saw that Long Qing was also entangled by this force of cause and effect.

He immediately stood up, pretended to be nervous, grabbed Ye Lan's shoulder, and asked her what was wrong.

"Senior brother... get out of the way..." Ye Lan said through gritted teeth. She couldn't shrug her shoulders, nor could she get up.

"What exactly happened? How could I possibly abandon you!"

Gu An said urgently, and Ye Lan was about to speak when she suddenly felt dizzy.

Not only her, Zhen Qin also felt the same way.

Immediately afterwards, Gu An and the two of them vanished into thin air.

At this moment, countless lives were lost, and the Tai Xuan Sect's branch sect was thrown into an uproar.

Ye Lan closed her eyes tightly, feeling herself falling. Even for someone at the Nascent Soul stage like her, this feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

As she continued to fall, she gradually regained control of her body.

Soon, she felt her feet touch the ground.

One hand grasped her right hand, instantly calming her down.

These are my senior brother's hands!

She knew every line on her senior brother's hands clearly; there was no mistake.

Immediately, she felt she could open her eyes. She opened them immediately, and what came into view was a blood-red sky, with countless figures falling from the sky like a torrential downpour.

Gu An and Zhen Qin were right beside her. The three of them stood on the mountaintop, all looking up at the sky in shock.

"Where is this place..." Zhen Qin asked, her beautiful eyes wide and her voice trembling.

She looked in the direction where the figures had fallen, and below were endless mountain peaks, dark and oppressive.

As all the figures landed, a pair of enormous eyes appeared in the blood-red sky. They were the eyes of the Demon Emperor, who looked down upon everyone in the world, seemingly searching for something.

"Mortal beings of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, this is the Nine Abyss Realm created by me. No one can save you here. However, I am kind-hearted and will give you a chance to live."

The voice of the Demon Emperor rang out, like a muffled thunderclap, echoing between heaven and earth.
