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

Chapter 610 The Celestial Thief Cult and the Purple Emperor
Under the cover of darkness, figures in white robes drifted across the mountains and fields. These figures appeared ethereal, like phantoms, and made no sound.

In the mountains and forests, Zhu Xi took in this scene, her brows furrowing.

She slowly retreated into the darkness, turned around, and walked into the depths of the forest.

Moonlight filtered through the leaves and fell upon her. She wore a deep purple robe, her hair piled on top of her head, exuding an air of majesty and elegance.

Having been away from the Heavenly Spirit World for tens of thousands of years, her experiences have already transformed her.

She walked to a stone statue in the forest, raised her hand to touch the statue, and muttered a mysterious and incomprehensible incantation.

A few breaths later, a luminous green figure flew out from the stone statue. It was an old woman, dressed in a Taoist robe, seemingly a spirit, with her face covered in black spots, making her particularly frightening.

She looked at Zhu Xi and said with a smile, "Helpless?"

Zhu Xi took two steps back and asked, "Tell me, how do we want to cooperate, and what do I need to give in return?"

The old woman stared at Zhu Xi and said with a mocking expression, "It's very simple. Let me temporarily possess your body, and after we get out, I will leave your body."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi frowned deeply.

“Each of those wandering souls is more powerful than you. They just can’t enter this forest unless you want to stay here forever. This is your only chance, as long as you trust me,” the old woman continued to persuade, her eyes fixed intently on Zhu Xi.

She paused, then continued, "Don't forget, if it weren't for me, you would be dead by now."

Zhu Xi's eyes flickered, and she fell into hesitation.

for a long time.

Zhu Xi looked up at the old woman and said, "I can agree to your request, but you must first tell me your name and the origin of this temple."

The old woman smiled and said, "I am known as the Thief Xuantian Ji. This dojo was left behind by the Ziwei Emperor. He set this dojo as a sealed place. The most terrifying thing here is not the dead souls. He left an avatar here. According to my observation, he kept this avatar for resurrection."

Emperor Ziwei?
Zhu Xi silently memorized the name, and then said, "Let's begin."

Dao Xuantian asked with a half-smile, "Do you need me to help you seize some opportunities? I know where those good treasures are hidden."

Zhu Xi shook her head and said, "No need, let's go out early."

Dao Xuantianji smiled and then burrowed into Zhu Xi's body. In an instant, the stone statue burst forth with green light, quickly illuminating her.

Zhu Xi closed her eyes, ready to witness what was about to happen.

Gu An, far away at the Wushi Dojo, raised an eyebrow slightly.

This Thief Xuan Tian Ji comes from the Thief Heaven Immortal Sect!

The Heavenly Stealing Immortal Sect is the sect of the Eternal Emperor. Although he succeeded him, the Eternal Emperor left his mark on the cause and effect and destiny of the Heavenly Stealing Immortal Sect.

The Immortal Emperor's Eye of the Eternal Emperor was left behind by the former leader of the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect, which enabled Gu An to cultivate the Immortal Emperor's Eye. The Immortal Emperor's Eye has endless uses; at least his Immortal Emperor's Eye ability can reverse everything.

Gu An could sense that part of the cause and effect of stealing Xuan Tianji belonged to the Eternal Emperor.

Before leaving the Immortal Thief Sect, the Eternal Emperor left behind many inheritances, and the Thief Xuan Tian Ji obtained one of them.

Could it be that the souls of the dead in this temple all come from the Thief of Heaven Sect?
I wonder if the Xuanmo Emperor is still safe and sound?
Gu An had a deep impression of the person who had always assisted the Eternal Emperor.

Emperor Xuanmo was arguably the most loyal disciple of the Thief Immortal Sect, devoting his entire life to finding ways to restore the sect.

Speaking of which, the Heavenly Thief Immortal Sect offended the Heavenly Court and could only flee everywhere. Now it has been suppressed here by the Ziwei Emperor. Could it be the will of the Heavenly Court?

Gu An remembered that the Ziwei Emperor and the Ziwei Immortal Emperor looked exactly alike. The Ziwei Immortal Emperor was the master of the Immortal Palace when the Heavenly Spirit God and the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Venerable met, and he was an immortal god of the Heavenly Court.

Gu An continued to observe Zhu Xi's actions.

In his memory, Zhu Xi was very cautious and would not entrust his fate to others so easily.

After being possessed by Daotian Xuanji, Zhu Xi used a special secret technique to quietly leave the mountain forest.

Along the way, she encountered many wandering spirits, all of whom were very powerful, some even resembling Golden Immortals, but none of them noticed her.

A blink of an eye.

The next day at noon, Shen Zhen finally woke up.

Gu An stood up, without asking what she had realized, and left after uttering a single sentence:
"Don't keep clinging to it. Taking a break now and then might be more helpful." When Shen Zhen came to her senses, he was already out of sight.

"That's true. Lately, I seem to have become obsessed with enlightenment. It seems I was provoked by that kid Tianhao." Shen Zhen muttered to herself as she got up and began to pack up her easel.

She was in a pretty good mood. Although she hadn't gained anything yet, she had plenty of time to learn from it.

Within the Wushi Dojo, she never had to worry about danger, and time seemed to stretch on endlessly.

As she pondered whether to write a book or go shopping at the Qiankun Sect, Zhu Xi was facing a life-or-death battle.

In the void of the universe, Zhu Xi stood suspended, holding a long sword, staring expressionlessly at Dao Tian Xuan Ji in front of her.

Daotian Xuanji became younger than before, with a bewitching face and only a few dark spots remaining on her face.

She stared at Zhu Xi, gritting her teeth as she asked, "What kind of cultivation technique do you practice? It's actually able to protect your original soul!"

Zhu Xi raised his sword and pointed it at her, saying, "Have you ever heard of the Supreme Dao Technique?"

Dao Tian Xuan Ji's expression changed drastically. In an instant, the void suddenly changed color, and distorted green light appeared in all directions, making the void seem like an illusion.

"Which celestial being or deity in the Heavenly Court are you a disciple of?" Daotian Xuanji asked in a deep voice, her eyes filled with hatred.

Zhu Xi sneered, "I have nothing to do with the Heavenly Court. I am just a mortal from a mortal realm. If you insist on taking over my body, then let's fight to the death. Whether your soul is scattered or I perish, it's up to our abilities!"

When she said these words, she displayed the aura of the Holy Court and the Holy Heaven, an aura cultivated from years of unparalleled invincibility, fearless of everything.

Suddenly, Daotian Xuanji opened her arms, and in an instant, countless figures appeared in the twisting green light in the void, like a rain of arrows rushing towards Zhu Xi.

Before Zhu Xi could fight back against these figures, a green beam of light descended from the sky and enveloped her.

Everything happened so fast that Zhu Xi didn't have time to dodge.

"How dare the Immortal Xuan Yuan Zizai shout in front of me?" Dao Tian Xuan Ji said contemptuously.

The figures that were attacking Zhu Xi quickly arrived around the green pillar of light, forming circles around it, their arrangement resembling some kind of formation.

Upon closer inspection, these figures bear a striking resemblance to the spirits found in the previous secret realm.

Zhu Xi was unable to move, feeling as if she were being devoured by thousands of ants.

She did not despair. Wisps of energy emanated from her body, encircling her. Fine golden lines gradually appeared on her forehead, intertwining together like a lotus flower blooming on her forehead.

Dao Tian Xuan Ji's pupils suddenly dilated. Just as she was about to speak, a dazzling golden light burst forth from the golden lotus on Zhu Xi's forehead, piercing through the green pillar of light and annihilating the soul shadows along the way.

In an instant, Daotian Xuanji dodged and appeared in another direction.

As soon as she appeared, upon closer inspection, Zhu Xi's figure was no longer visible in the array she had created.

boom!
A sword light suddenly appeared, and Zhu Xi appeared out of thin air behind her, beheading her with a single sword strike. The sword light stretched infinitely long after it was unleashed, annihilating the distorted green light in the void and plunging everything back into darkness.

Daotian Xuanji's head spun in the void, and she saw Zhu Xi's figure holding a sword.

"you……"

Daotian Xuanji was furious, and her bewitching face became distorted.

Just as she was about to retaliate, a hand suddenly grabbed her head, rendering her unable to move.

Her eyes widened, and she cried out, "Who?"

Zhu Xi stopped and saw the figure holding Dao Tian Xuan Ji's head; her eyes were filled with fear.

It was a man dressed in a purple robe with dragon patterns, wearing a crown with beaded curtains. His clothes were exquisite, and eighteen purple-scaled dragons were writhing behind him. His face was so indifferent.

"Emperor Ziwei! How is this possible? You..."

Daotian Xuanji cried out in alarm, but before she could finish speaking, Ziwei Emperor crushed her soul head, and her soul body also vanished without a trace.

After Emperor Ziwei finished doing all this, his indifferent gaze fell on Zhu Xi, making Zhu Xi tremble with fear.

She was horrified to find that she couldn't find a way to escape. Her intuition told her that if she dared to move, she would die instantly.
