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

Chapter 564 The Powerful Ancestor
Gazing at the majestic Tai Xuan Sect in the distance, Ye Cang's eyes revealed a look of nostalgia. He murmured to himself, "Finally back. Compared to before, it truly feels more like a sacred place on earth."

A weathered voice echoed from within the ancient blue pagoda: "I am also very interested in the Tai Xuan Sect. What kind of sect could attract the protection of the Sword Venerable Fudao?"

Ancestor Qingtian!

Ye Cang replied, "But the Sword Master Fudao has already left the Taixuan Sect, perhaps he has also grown tired of the Taixuan Sect."

He had been to the Heaven-Mending Platform and experienced the vast sword intent of the Sword Master Fudao, so he had been a worshipper of the Sword Master Fudao for a long time.

"Always leave room for maneuver in everything, and never go to extremes," said the Ancestor Qingtian earnestly.

Ye Cang did not answer, but his gaze became increasingly complicated.

He recalled the scene before leaving Tai Xuan Sect. He argued with his master in the Third Medicine Valley, saying that he had not harmed his fellow disciples. Even though his senior sister testified for him, his master still did not believe him. In order to quell the anger of the sect, his master told him to leave Tai Xuan Sect first. However, after he left, his younger sister was murdered.

That was his only relative; he had sworn to protect his sister at his parents' graves.

Upon learning the truth, he felt as if the sky had fallen. He sought justice from his master but was met with evasive responses, and he has yet to avenge this grievance.

He hated that his master didn't stand up for him, and he hated the Tai Xuan Sect even more. It was called a holy land, but in reality, it was full of powerful families. Without a powerful backer, it was difficult to gain a foothold.

This time, he's determined to get justice!
After getting justice, he will leave to explore a wider world and never return in this life.

Of course, he had another idea in mind.

That is to see my senior sister one more time.

The coldness in his eyes lessened when he thought of his senior sister.

"How dare you, Ye Cang! As a disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect, do you really intend to betray your sect?"

A majestic voice rang out, like thunder, its power overwhelming.

Ye Cang did not answer, but quickened his pace. His aura suddenly erupted, and his magic power condensed into a celestial image behind him. There were towering mountains, the sun and moon shining, and rivers flowing through them. The vast aura of heaven and earth surged out from the celestial image.

The sea of ​​clouds ahead was pierced, and one after another, powerful cultivators from the Tai Xuan Sect rushed out wielding magical treasures. They quickly surrounded Ye Cang, preparing for a great battle.

……

Rumbling--

The outer city walls trembled. Gu An watched as the protective array rose, and the figures on the streets quickened their pace. Ye Cang's arrival still disturbed this ancient holy land.

Gu An turned and walked towards the Heaven-Mending Platform. He could foresee that Ye Cang would not bring about the destruction of the Tai Xuan Sect. After Ye Cang met Long Qing and the master and disciple broke off their relationship, Ye Cang would completely sever the karmic ties and then truly embark on his own life.

The Primordial Chaos Body is no simple matter; it is a level higher than Zhu Xi's Primordial Devouring Body. Of course, this is only the physique; a cultivator's aptitude also depends on their comprehension.

Gu An found the feud between Ye Cang and Long Qing, the master and disciple, amusing, but he did not support either of them.

But then he suddenly remembered Ji Xiaoyu. Ji Xiaoyu had also severed her ties with her family. That's just how things are in this world; there are always things that don't go as planned.

Ji Xiaoyu had already returned to the Yin-Yang Immortal Realm. This realm was not part of the Great World, so it was not merged into the Heavenly Spirit Great World and remained in the void of the universe.

Gu An would occasionally keep an eye on Ji Xiaoyu, who was trying to break through to the Dao Fruit Realm. Even after learning that the Great Thousand World had been reshaped, Ji Xiaoyu had no intention of returning to see Gu An.

Gu An could hear her thoughts; she wanted to reach the same level as Gu An before seeing him again.

Gu An naturally respected her competitive spirit.

For the mortal world, ten thousand years is a long time, but for Ji Xiaoyu it is a short time, especially since she was in seclusion. So she didn't feel like she hadn't seen Gu An for a long time.

Thinking of Ji Xiaoyu, Gu An also thought of Ye Lan.

Having been in the cycle of reincarnation for so long, Ye Lan has still not been reincarnated into the Heavenly Spirit World, so Gu An has decided to spend time searching for her.

With the Demonic Seal of Destruction in hand, it shouldn't be difficult for Gu An, a Golden Immortal of the Supreme Purity, to find Ye Lan.

As Gu An pondered this, he walked through the streets.

He finally arrived at the Terrace of Mending the Sky.

The Heaven-Mending Platform remained unchanged, with many figures on it. Zuo Yijian still stood guard in front of the Heaven-Severing Axe, his eyes closed, sitting cross-legged in mid-air, displaying an ethereal beauty.

The oppressive aura of the immortal treasure had already enveloped the outer city, but Zuo Yijian never opened his eyes, displaying a calm demeanor that remained unmoved even if the sky were to collapse before him.

Looking at Zuo Yijian, Gu An felt very gratified.

Zuo Yijian was definitely the most devout person to him, even more so than Xuanmiao Zhenren in the Mountain God Temple. Unless his family encountered trouble, he had been guarding the Heaven-Mending Platform for over 20,000 years, protecting the face of the Sword Venerable Fudao.

Gu An did not mistreat him, and would occasionally use Daoist principles to guide him in comprehending swordsmanship.

Zuo Yijian is now also at the Loose Immortal Realm, and his swordsmanship is not much worse than Chen Chuan's.

Once the legacy of the Sky-Severing Axe is handed over, Gu An will give Zuo Yijian a chance to follow him.

Gu An possessed a mount, disciples, and a demonic pet, but no sword attendant by his side. At this moment, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of the Heaven-Severing Axe. The disciples who were queuing up were about to utter curses, but after seeing who it was, they were so frightened that they quickly bowed and paid their respects.

The newcomer was none other than Long Qing, the sect master of the Tai Xuan Sect!
Long Qing ignored the disciples around him, staring at the Heaven-Severing Axe in silence.

Zuo Yijian remained seated in mid-air, glanced at Long Qing, and then closed his eyes again.

Because he had been patted on the shoulder by the Sword Master Fudao and inherited his sword intent, Zuo Yijian held an extremely high position in the Tai Xuan Sect. Even when facing Long Qing, he could still consider himself a senior, and Long Qing did indeed respect him.

Rumbling--

The distant thunder grew louder and louder, and the oppressive aura of the immortal treasure was drawing near.

Zhu Xing appeared out of thin air beside Long Qing and said in a deep voice, "He has someone with a higher cultivation level than me behind him. Tai Xuan Sect cannot stop him."

He was the top cultivator in the Tai Xuan Sect; below him, the difference in cultivation level was enormous.

Upon hearing his words, Long Qing's expression did not change.

Before Zhuxing could say anything more, he suddenly turned his head and saw the outer city's protective array suddenly shatter. An unstoppable rainbow light descended from the sky, startling Zhuxing into raising his palm and using his own magic power to protect Long Qing and the surrounding disciples.

As the light faded, a surge of energy filled the air, revealing Ye Cang's figure. Cracks appeared on the platform beneath his feet, sending fragments of stone flying.

Zuo Yijian opened his eyes, his gaze falling on Ye Cang's feet, his brows furrowed.

Holding the ancient blue pagoda, Ye Cang ignored Zhu Xing and focused his gaze on Long Qing's back, saying, "Master, it's been a long time."

Long Qing slowly turned around and faced his former disciple. His face was calm, and there was no emotion in his eyes.

Their eyes met, and they saw only each other.

"What do you want?" Long Qing asked.

Ye Cang replied, "I want justice. I want you, Master, to publicly convict the Cui family and avenge my sister."

Long Qing remained silent, simply watching him quietly.

Ye Cang slightly raised his chin, his eyes flashing with a cold light. He sneered, "It seems that after nine thousand years, the Cui family's status in the Tai Xuan Sect has become increasingly higher. Master, you are also reluctant to touch them, are you?"

Long Qing stared at him and said, "The person who killed your sister was executed back then. Do you insist on making the entire Cui family pay for your sister's death? Do you know how many people are in the Cui family? What will the Tai Xuan Sect lose if the Cui family is lost?"

Ye Cang stepped forward, and the ancient blue tower shone with dazzling light. A strong wind rose from the ground, and his black clothes billowed violently, making his oppressive aura even stronger.

"She is dead, but my sister, a disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect, died silently. Is that really right? Moreover, that person was just a pawn. Master, do you really not know who wanted to harm my sister?"

Ye Cang was aggressive, and the aura of the ancient blue pagoda made the Heaven-Mending Platform tremble.

Zhu Xing couldn't help but shout, "Enough! That Cui family member left Tai Xuan Sect long ago. Does Tai Xuan Sect intend to spend manpower to hunt him down? The world is so vast. How much will Tai Xuan Sect have to sacrifice for your sister before you are satisfied?"

The Cui family allowed the mastermind to escape and brought the murderers to justice. The Tai Xuan Sect was indeed powerless against them, after all, the Cui family had helped the Tai Xuan Sect develop and was now considered one of the top three families within the Tai Xuan Sect.

Zhu Xing frequently encounters such contradictions. All he can do is make the murderer pay with his life, but he cannot completely eradicate them, because the development of power requires consideration of interests.

With his roar, Xuan Yuan Zizai Immortal's power surged towards Ye Cang, causing Ye Cang to slide backward.

A phantom figure leaped out from the ancient blue pagoda; it was an old Taoist priest with white hair.

The Ancestor Qingtian hovered in the air, looking down at Zhuxing, and said, "Fellow Daoist, you should not belong to this Great Thousand World, so why are you so stubborn about the rules of the mortal world? If you consider interests, do you think it is worth offending me and a Primordial Chaos Body for the sake of a powerful family that bullies the weak?"

When Zhuxing saw him appear, his face turned gloomy, and he said, "I also want to ask you, with your high level of cultivation, do you really think that his stubborn nature won't cause him a great disaster?"

The Ancestor Qingtian remained expressionless and said, "This is his only request in this life. As his master, I must help him. In the mortal world, a teacher for a day is a father for life. In this vast world, teachers must protect their disciples. I don't care what will happen to him in the future; I just want to support him now."

Upon hearing these words, Long Qing's expression changed.

Zuo Yijian sized up the Sky-Supporting Ancestor. He could sense the other party's power, but he didn't care.

Many years have passed since the departure of the Sword Master Fudao, but Zuo Yijian always felt that the old man was still watching over the Taixuan Sect.

As long as the sword intent of the Heaven-Mending Platform doesn't dissipate, Zuo Yijian believes that the Tai Xuan Sect will never fall.

Ye Cang was filled with gratitude upon hearing the words of the Ancestor Qingtian, but he did not show it on his face. He looked at Long Qing with disappointment in his eyes.

He once respected this master so much that he even regarded him as his father.

The overwhelming power of the Sky-Supporting Ancestor put immense pressure on Zhuxing, leaving him with no choice but to turn to Long Qing.

"Say something! If it's war, I'll fight to the death to help you. This guy is just a remnant soul; he can't afford to waste his time!" Zhuxing said in a deep voice.

Seeing the disappointment in Ye Cang's eyes, Long Qing felt a little confused. Had he really made a mistake?
In his view, Tai Xuan Sect was the legacy left by his master and Lü Baitian, and he had to protect it. Therefore, in his heart, Tai Xuan Sect was more important than his offspring and disciples.

The Ancestor Qingtian looked at Long Qing and said, "Destroying the Cui family is as easy as turning my hand for me, but what my disciple wants is your attitude. Sect Master Long, do you want to implicate the entire Tai Xuan Sect because of past mistakes?"
