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

Chapter 673 Primordial Dao Emperor
Seeing that Gu An didn't seem to be joking, Xiao Lan was puzzled, but she also had her own pride and didn't want to admit defeat.

"Then come on!"

Xiao Lan raised her hand and waved to Gu An, displaying the demeanor of a grandmaster.

Gu An's lips curled up, and he gently shifted his right foot. In an instant, the entire world changed. The sky darkened, the flowers and grass on the ground disappeared, and an endless wasteland appeared beneath their feet.

The sudden change in environment caused Xiao Lan's expression to change drastically. She looked around and felt that everything around her did not seem like an illusion.

what happened?

She turned to look at Gu An and asked warily, "Are you really my brother Gu?"

Gu An smiled and said, "Lan'er, think about it carefully. Do you really know my background? I have been in Xiao Manor since you were old enough to understand. Before you came to Xiao Manor, did you know who I was?"

"who are you?"

Hearing Gu An's words, Xiao Lan's unease disappeared. As long as Gu An was still her, she would not be afraid.

Gu An took out the Qinghong Sword, gripped the scabbard, and said, "Show me your full strength first."

A glint flashed in Xiao Lan's eyes, and she moved swiftly.

boom--

Xiao Lan appeared out of thin air in front of Gu An, holding the White Spirit Sword. The tip of the sword was only ten centimeters away from Gu An's shoulder. The ground beneath their feet shattered, and countless fragments of stone flew everywhere, as if the heavens and earth could not withstand the pressure and were about to collapse.

However, even with those ten centimeters, Xiao Lan was unable to push forward.

Her pupils dilated suddenly; she hadn't expected Gu An to be so formidable.

Gu An gripped the scabbard of the Qinghong Sword and pushed it forward. Xiao Lan felt an overwhelming and terrifying force crushing her. She was uncontrollably pushed away, disappearing into the distance like an arrow.

Along the way, Xiao Lan shattered dozens of giant mountains, leaving behind a vast, winding dragon of dust, with countless rocks floating in the air, creating a truly spectacular sight.

Xiao Lan quickly emerged from the billowing dust. She didn't look disheveled at all, and her body was surrounded by a visible aura. She looked in Gu An's direction, her eyes filled with fear.

For a brief moment, she felt a terrifying sense of impending death.

The earth and mountains trembled violently, and a dust storm rose in the distance, obscuring the sky. Amidst the magnificent dust storm, a figure was rapidly ascending into the air—it was Gu An.

Xiao Lan could feel Gu An's gaze. She no longer cared about why Gu An was so powerful. She immediately raised her sword, and her sword intent soared into the sky. Sword shadows appeared all around her, rapidly increasing in number and expanding their coverage area.

In the blink of an eye, the sword shadows covered an area of ​​tens of millions of miles. As Xiao Lan raised her sword, the endless sword shadows rose up, like stars flying into the universe. The sword energy formed a tail, like the aurora rising, which was extremely magnificent.

Xiao Lan swung her sword at Gu An, and sword shadows followed from all directions, all of them unleashing sword energy that shook the heavens and earth, an unstoppable force.

The earth trembled, the sky tore apart; before such a vast and mighty sword aura, everything seemed fragile.

Gu An did not use his supernatural powers; he flew straight towards Xiao Lan.

The speed increased dramatically!

Like a thunderclap, it tore open the vast ocean of sword energy between heaven and earth, as if the sky had been cut in two.

Clang——

Xiao Lan blocked Gu An's sword sheath with her white spirit sword. In that instant, she felt her blood surging and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

She looked at Gu An and found his face so indifferent, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

This expression deeply agitated Xiao Lan. She leaped away and disappeared from Gu An's sight, then reappeared behind him.

Xiao Lan unleashed seventy-two large banners, which quickly surrounded Gu An. Almost instantly, the formation was completed, and thousands of bolts of lightning erupted, intertwining around Gu An.

Gu An slowly turned around, and the lightning disappeared just before it touched him, creating an untouchable area around him.

Xiao Lan's expression changed slightly. She put the White Spirit Sword into her storage bag, and then cast a spell with both hands. The lightning changed color and turned into streaks of purple lightning, like dragons and snakes, which frantically attacked Gu An. The light of the array also surged, illuminating the entire world.

"Is this all you've got?" Gu An's voice rang out, igniting a surge of fighting spirit in Xiao Lan's eyes.

boom! boom! boom……

The heavens and earth roared, the earth shattered continuously, rocks struck the sky, and the dark sky began to distort, as if it could not withstand this great battle.

An hour later.

Among the ruins.

Xiao Lan knelt on a large rock, holding the White Spirit Sword in one hand and using it to support her body. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were dirty and tattered, and she looked extremely disheveled.

She struggled to lift her eyes and saw Gu An descending from the sky, hovering in front of her.

Compared to her, Gu An seemed as if she had not been in a battle; there was not a speck of dust on her body, nor any sweat or blood on her face.

"How strong am I?" Gu An asked.

Xiao Lan pouted and said, "You're very strong. I can't beat you."

After the initial shock, she felt a pang of grievance. Just a few days ago they had been so sweet together, but today he was so harsh.

Gu An smiled and said, "As long as you can defeat me, you can become a Great Dao Emperor, and I can teach you cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan looked at him, stood up with difficulty, and asked, "Have you been to the Path of the Great Dao?"

"I've been there."

"Then why were you so curious when I told you about the Great Dao before?"

Xiao Lan said resentfully, feeling like she had been played.

Gu An said, "I have been there in my past life. Everyone has a past life, and so do you. If you wish, I can help you recover your past life memories now."

Xiao Lan frowned and asked, "What is your cultivation level? Why are you hiding it? What do you think of me...?"

She wanted to ask Gu An if he was sincere towards her, but she felt she couldn't bring herself to ask.

Gu An smiled and said, "I can't tell you my cultivation level for now. You'll know when you surpass me. The reason I've been hiding my cultivation is because I don't want to cause trouble. I prefer peace and quiet. You should know my personality. As for whether I'm sincere to you, you don't need to doubt it. Back then, I went to Xiao Manor for you."

Xiao Lan frowned even more. She was no longer the innocent girl she once was; she only appeared innocent when facing Gu An.

"Is it because of my past life?" Xiao Lan asked.

Gu An nodded.

Xiao Lan remained silent.

Gu An could hear her thoughts, so he comforted her, "Whether it's your past life or this life, you are you, only your memories are different. If I only cared about you in your past life, I would have restored your memories long ago."

Xiao Lan took a deep breath and said, "Can you help me become a Great Dao Emperor?"

Gu An landed in front of her and replied, "Yes, but I can also lead you onto another path, a path no less than that of the Great Dao Emperor."

"What way?"

"Primordial Dao Emperor".

Xiao Lan's expression changed. She had never heard of this name before, but it was clearly not an ordinary person.

She couldn't help but ask, "Is the Primordial Dao Emperor also a rank of destiny?"

Gu An smiled and said, "That's right. The path to becoming a Primordial Dao Emperor is different from the Emperor's path. It doesn't rely on fighting, but on comprehension."
