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

Chapter 573 Disaster Is Coming
In the past, Li Ya would have recklessly broken through the Dao Court's blockade, but now, hearing the silver-armored man say that a calamity was about to befall him, he calmed down and thought things through carefully.

He vividly remembered the great battle 20,000 years ago, a battle that clearly involved powerful beings from beyond the heavens.

Li Ya gave the silver-armored man a deep look, then turned and flew downwards.

The silver-armored man watched Li Ya disappear into the sea of ​​clouds, then slowly ascended into the sky.

The mystical spirit perched on Li Ya's shoulder and teased, "You're not reckless anymore; you seem like a stranger to me."

Li Ya snorted, "It's not like I'm in a hurry to leave. Besides, if the world is in trouble, I have to stay and protect the Tai Xuan Sect."

He has come this far not only because of Gu An's protection, but also because of the support he received from the Tai Xuan Sect. Even today, he still considers himself a disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect.

The divine being exclaimed, "He has truly grown up."

"What kind of tone is that? It makes me sound like your junior."

Li Ya directly pulled the divine spirit off his shoulder and then vigorously massaged it in his arms.

A gentle breeze blew in from the sea of ​​clouds. Li Ya was bickering with the divine spirits when he suddenly felt that everything seemed unchanged.

……

Early morning hours.

Gu An sat on the eaves, gazing at the rising sun, his eyes looking far into the distance.

He saw the War Court, which was searching for the Heavenly Spirit Great World.

Because the Celestial Spirit Immortal respects the rules of the Great Dao, the new Celestial Spirit Great World is temporarily separated from the path of the Great Dao. The War Court cannot directly find the Celestial Spirit Great World. However, through causal calculations, the War Court is getting closer and closer to the Celestial Spirit Great World.

"The Immortal Emperor..."

Gu An pondered the name. In the memories of the God Emperor of Annihilation, the one who truly controlled the War Court was the Immortal Emperor. This Immortal Emperor's cultivation was unfathomable. He lived in seclusion behind the scenes, cultivating for many years. Gu An wondered if he would come this time.

He had already sensed the auras of more than a dozen innate Golden Immortals among the attacking War Court army. War Court experts were constantly arriving, and judging from their posture, they were determined to kill all the descendants of the Dragon Clan.

Gu An wasn't flustered at all; on the contrary, he was looking forward to the arrival of the great battle, when he could reap lifespans on a grand scale.

Under normal circumstances, Gu An would not commit murder, but if someone threatens him, that gives him a legitimate reason to kill.

"Good morning, Brother Gu!"

Bai Sheng's laughter came from inside the courtyard. Gu An looked down and saw Bai Sheng waving at him, so he smiled and nodded in response.

"Are you going to read again today?" Gu An asked.

It was still early before the scientific expedition. A month had passed since they arrived in the capital, and Bai Sheng would wander around the city every day, mainly looking for books to read.

With Su Jin's help, Bai Sheng has amassed a considerable fortune along the way and is now considered quite wealthy.

Bai Sheng laughed and said, "I'm not going to watch today. I heard that there's an immortal in the city who wants to take on disciples. I want to go and see if he's a real immortal. Brother Gu, would you like to come along?"

Gu An shook his head and said, "You go ahead, I need to find someone to drink with."

"You, you, all you know is drinking."

After chatting for a while, Bai Sheng left with Su Jin.

Gu An watched Bai Sheng leave. Once the trouble in the capital was over, it would be time for him to go too.

Having spent a year with Bai Sheng, Gu An had finally found some peace of mind. As for what would happen between Bai Sheng and Su Jin in the future, Gu An only needed to observe from afar.

The imperial city was bustling with activity every day. In the eyes of ordinary people, this dynasty was the most powerful existence in the world, capable of changing the world through its power.

Little did they know that the world is vast, and even seemingly invincible giants of the earth can be destroyed in an instant.

If Gu An hadn't intervened, this dynasty would have been destroyed within days, and even Su Jin, who was at the Nirvana Realm, wouldn't have been able to stop it.

The impending disaster will change Bai Sheng's mind, and he will be filled with an unprecedented and extremely strong desire to cultivate immortality.

Gu An's thoughts drifted away, and time flew by.

Dusk falls.

As night approached, the city lights gradually came on, and the imperial city became even more lively, with noise reaching Gu An's ears.

He remained seated on the rooftop, and following his gaze, he saw dark clouds rolling in towards the imperial city, creating a very oppressive atmosphere.

At that moment, on another street in the city, Bai Sheng stood in the crowd, tiptoeing to look at the high platform in front of him. On the platform, a Taoist priest wearing a mask was dancing with a sword, and five disciples disguised as demons were circling around him.

The Taoist's swordsman's movements quickened from time to time, becoming as sharp as the wind, drawing cheers from the onlookers.

Bai Sheng didn't notice that Su Jin on his shoulder was looking up at the sky.

“This demonic aura…” A look of fear appeared in Su Jin’s eyes. She had not expected that this imperial city could attract such a terrifying demon.

This is not good!

She turned to look at Bai Sheng and licked his face with her tongue.

"Stop fooling around, I'll buy you some food after I finish watching it."

Bai Sheng said casually, his eyes fixed on the stage, full of curiosity.

Su Jin panicked and bit Bai Sheng's neck. Bai Sheng covered his neck in pain, and before he could say anything, she jumped to the ground and ran outside.

There were too many people around, and Bai was afraid something might happen to her, so he had no choice but to follow her.

Squeezing through the crowd, Bai Sheng spotted Su Jin squatting under a tree not far away, and he quickly walked over.

"you……"

Just as Bai Sheng was about to teach Su Jin a lesson, Su Jin suddenly transformed into a woman in a white dress with a bewitching face. This sight startled Bai Sheng, who widened his eyes and instinctively backed away.

Snapped!
Su Jin grabbed Bai Sheng's wrist and pulled him in front of her.

"Listen, I'll only say this once, and don't make a fuss. A demon is about to descend, and it will devour everyone in the city. I'm no match for it; I can only protect you. Now come with me."

Su Jin stared at Bai Sheng and said seriously. After speaking, she pulled Bai Sheng and walked towards the city gate.

"and many more!"

Bai Sheng snapped out of his daze and hurriedly said that he tried to pull his hand away, but he couldn't break free from Su Jin's grasp.

Su Jin turned to look at him, her brows furrowed.

Bai Sheng quickly said, "Even if you can't save all the people in the city, at least take Brother Gu with you!"

Su Jin snorted, "Why bring him along?"

"After all, we've been together all this way and are like brothers. How can we abandon him?" Bai Sheng said in a pleading tone.

He couldn't care less about being shocked that Su Jin was a demon. He believed that Su Jin wouldn't harm him, otherwise he would have been eaten long ago, why wait until today.
"Fine!"

Su Jin said impatiently, then led Bai Sheng to their residence.

Rumbling--

Thunder rumbled, but the people inside the imperial city were still unaware of the danger.

Within the thunderclouds, a terrifying figure was surging, with a pair of blood-red eyes vaguely looking down upon the world.

Sudden.

Countless demonic birds suddenly burst out of the sea of ​​clouds and swept towards the imperial city. The sound of their flapping wings gathered together, instantly drowning out the commotion in the city and disturbing the people.

……

Inside the woods, Anxin sat on a rock by the stream, playing with the Six Paths Mirror in her hand.

A series of footsteps approached, and Yi Qingshan, the leader of the Qiankun Sect, walked over. His hair was white, but his face was still relatively young. He wore a large, exquisite robe, and the aura of a sect leader was hard to conceal.

He came up behind An Xin, bowed and said, "Senior, the Dao Court has sent people here. They claim that the world is about to face a great calamity, and all sects under heaven must join forces to resist the enemy. They hope that our Qiankun Sect will accept the Heavenly Dao Decree so that when the calamity comes, the Qiankun Sect can cooperate with the Dao Court. However, this Heavenly Dao Decree needs to be integrated with the fortune of the Qiankun Sect, so I am a little hesitant."

Anxin replied, "If you hesitate, then refuse."

She has recently gained new insights into the Six Paths Mirror, and she wouldn't have wanted to come out if she hadn't heard Yi Qingshan's call.

“But the Dao Court is very powerful. Compared to it, the Qiankun Sect is like a grain of rice compared to the brilliance of the moon. If we refuse, will the Dao Court target us?” Yi Qingshan asked with a frown, his tone full of worry.

"If they make enemies simply because they are unwilling to cooperate, it shows that the Dao Court does not have the spirit to shoulder the responsibility of the world. They just want to take the opportunity to scheme against the various religions in the world. Such a sect will become an enemy sooner or later."

An Xin casually remarked, then stood up, turned to look at Yi Qingshan, and asked, "Just for this?"

Yi Qingshan paused for a moment, then replied, "There's one more thing. Someone in the sect has attained enlightenment but has gone mad. Could you go and take a look?"

"Why not bring him along?"

“To be honest, his cultivation level is already considered top-tier in the sect. We can’t do anything about him. He’s hiding in his cave, yelling that the sky is going to collapse. I’ve never seen him so afraid. I wonder if it’s related to the calamity the Dao Court mentioned?” Yi Qingshan frowned again.

There was one more thing he didn't say.

In fact, over the years, he has also felt uneasy and had a sense of impending doom when he was cultivating.
