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

Chapter 454 The Demon God Descends
After seeing Zhu Xi agree, Gu An pushed the Heavenly Dao Theory towards her. She didn't pick it up immediately, but looked at Gu An and asked, "Master, do you really know about my bloodline?"

Gu An replied, "Actually, your background is very ordinary, and there is no karma to entangle you. Your talent is unique, and you were born in accordance with the times, receiving the blessings of heaven and earth. You are called the Primordial Devouring Body."

Primordial Devouring Body!
Upon hearing these five words, Zhu Xi fell into a daze. For some reason, she inexplicably accepted the name, as if a long-forgotten memory had been awakened.

Gu An encouraged him, "Cultivate diligently, and one day you will stand at the pinnacle of immortality, becoming the person you aspire to be, and even surpassing them."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi wanted to ask, "Can I surpass you?"
Even if she were completely ignorant of manners, she wouldn't stoop to this level; she only dared to think it to herself.

Gu An began to inquire about Zhu Xi's cultivation progress. Zhu Xi lowered her guard and began to recount her troubles in cultivation. At the same time, Gu An was deducing the cause and effect of the true traces of the Heavenly Dao Theory.

This book on the Dao of Heaven has the ability to transform between reality and illusion. In combat, it can transform the injuries Zhu Xi suffers into illusions, making it seem as if he is not injured, thus delaying the onset of his injuries. At the same time, it can also allow non-existent spells and supernatural powers to attack enemies, making them mistakenly believe that they have suffered serious injuries when they are not. This effect will last for a period of time before disappearing.

This power is different from cause and effect; it is a very special kind of power of the Great Dao. Gu An has not yet studied this Great Dao, but he is very interested in it.

Half an hour later, Gu An got up to leave.

"Master, I'll give you the Treatise on the Heavenly Dao for now. I'll ask you for it again when I need it, okay?" Zhu Xi handed the Treatise on the Heavenly Dao to Gu An and said earnestly. She was also very reluctant to part with it, but after learning about the origin of the Treatise on the Heavenly Dao, she became wary of the book and felt that it was a bit too hot to handle.

Most importantly, Gu An was able to see through the origin of this book, which means that Gu An is likely stronger than the entity behind the book.

Moreover, she could sense that Gu An was very interested in the theory of the Heavenly Dao, otherwise he wouldn't have come to find her in person. Since Gu An had said he wanted to mentor her, why shouldn't she be more generous?
Gu An smiled and accepted the Treatise on the Way of Heaven, thinking that she was quite sensible.

After Gu An left, Zhu Xi closed the door and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Let alone someone as cautious as her, anyone would be afraid if they knew that a supreme being was watching them.

She carefully reviewed her previous words and only relaxed completely after confirming that she hadn't said anything wrong.

She sat back down on the bed, gazing out the window with a wistful look in her eyes, her heart filled with emotion.

Why is she always afraid?
She felt that her personality might not be a good thing, but she would instinctively be wary of everyone, and her first reaction to anything that might cause trouble was to avoid it.

But that's how people are; even if they know their own character flaws, it's hard for them to change.

After thinking for a while, she withdrew her gaze and continued her cultivation.

……

After talking with Zhu Xi, Gu An would guide her in cultivating the Stepping Stones of Time every few days. The rest of the time, he would either pick flowers and gather herbs or study the power of the Great Dao in the theory of the Heavenly Dao.

He did not directly absorb this power, but sensed its existence and sought similarities in the unfathomable laws of the universe to comprehend it.

By doing this, he could sense a purer power of the Great Dao and avoid being schemed against by the entity behind the Heavenly Dao Theory.

The universe is vast, and there are countless kinds of formless and colorless Great Dao rules. They are the foundation of the universe. Only with their existence can the universe and all things in heaven and earth be born. Each Great Dao rule is vast and immeasurable. Even though Gu An comprehends the Great Dao of Cause and Effect and the Great Dao of Destiny, compared with one of the Great Daos, it is worlds apart. He cannot imagine what kind of realm can be powerful enough to be comparable to the Great Dao.

When Gu An began to comprehend the Great Dao and reduced his idle play, the passage of time began to accelerate.

In the blink of an eye, another forty-five years have passed.

That summer, Gu An arrived at the secluded paradise of Tianhuang Mountain. Tian Yao'er and the other two demons had already moved into the secluded paradise, and the medicinal herbs from Nian Chu's cave had also been transferred there.

As a small world created by Gu An, the rules of the secluded cave became more and more complete, and the spiritual energy within the cave was abundant, which enabled Tian Yao'er and the others to steadily increase their cultivation.

Tian Yao'er's cultivation has now reached the ninth level of the Mahayana Realm, and she is ready to break through at any time. Gu An plans to take her out to undergo her tribulation, to avoid damaging the secluded paradise.

Upon hearing that they could go out, Tian Yao'er was very excited, and Tian Qing and Tian Bai also clamored to go with her, clinging to Gu An's arm and acting coquettishly.

Tianqing is charming and alluring, her mature demeanor making her seem like the older sister, while Tianbai is more innocent but loves to act coquettishly, always speaking in a sweet, coquettish voice. The two sisters work together, and Gu An, with her soft heart, can only agree to take them out.

Seeing that their wish had been fulfilled, Tian Yao'er dismissed them and, holding Gu An's arm, asked, "Master, after I successfully break through, can I always follow you?"

She had been cultivating underground for nearly a thousand years. She was only seventeen years old when she first arrived, and now she is nine hundred and eighty-nine years old. How could she not be curious about the vast world outside?

Gu An replied, "That won't do. If you leave, who will guard this grotto for me? I can't trust Tianqing and Tianbai to do that."

Upon hearing this, Tian Yao'er's face immediately fell, and she was very depressed.

Gu An changed the subject: "However, it's not a bad thing to take you out for a stroll once in a while."

"Thank you, Master!"

Tian Yao'er beamed with joy and quickly thanked Gu An.

Gu An glanced at her. She was almost a thousand years old, yet she still looked like a young girl. Perhaps she should experience the world sooner or later. Otherwise, if she lacked life experience when she reached a higher realm, she would probably find it difficult to move forward.

He continued walking forward, with Tian Yao'er by his side, while Tian Qing and Tian Bai hopped around, retaining their feline nature.

As Gu An chatted with Tian Yao'er, listening to her cheerful laughter, his mood also became pleasant.

Rumbling--

The earth suddenly trembled, and the spiritual energy of the secluded paradise began to surge wildly, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Tianqing and Tianbai were so frightened that they immediately stopped. Tianyao'er frowned, as she could feel a terrifying pressure coming from outside the cave.

This oppressive force was not temporary, but rather persistent and increasingly terrifying.

"Master, what's going on?" Tianqing looked at Gu An and asked nervously.

Gu An looked up at the sky and said, "A demon god has descended, and the true calamity of the Heavenly Spirit Great World is about to descend."

Gu An had already seen the demon god standing in front of the Black City outside the heavens, a city created by the God Emperor of Annihilation.

Mysterious Wilderness Demon God!

Gu An immediately deduced the origin of this demon god. Speaking of which, Long Zhan's inherited memories also contained the legend of the Xuanhuang Demon God, which was very ancient. Long Zhan had only seen a skeleton, which exuded an endless aura of desolation.

Beside the Xuanhuang Demon God stood a powerful Heavenly Demon.

The Demon Emperor!

It's a new month! Remember to keep warm. It's been a while since I've spoken. Wishing everyone a prosperous November filled with good fortune and many happy events!
