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

Chapter 769 There is no return
Gu An seemed to have won the battle against Emperor Bone Tongxuan Venerable, but Emperor Bone Tongxuan Venerable had countless ways to escape. If it were a true life-or-death struggle, how could there be a victory if the enemy escaped?
Furthermore, the Endless Tower of Suppressing Heaven is only a part of the Dark Heavenly Court, an elite force dispatched by the Dark Heavenly Court to the Heavenly Dao. Destroying the Endless Tower of Suppressing Heaven does not mean destroying the Dark Heavenly Court, but will only create even greater hatred.

Gu An recalled the previous battle and became even more vigilant.

I was careless.

Relying on the Dao of Formlessness and his own strength, he rashly ventured into the enemy's lair.

I felt good venting this time, but I can't do it again.

A little bit of whimsy is fine just once!
Gu An reminded himself of this.

After asking a few more questions about the God of Darkness, she was completely relieved before leaving.

Gu An did not go back into the house, but sat on a bench in the courtyard. He raised his right hand, and the Boundless Divine Sparrow appeared on his fingertip.

Shen Zhen turned to look at him and saw him admiring the Boundless Divine Sparrow.

"What kind of bird is that? It's so beautiful!" Shen Zhen couldn't help but ask.

Gu An tossed the Boundless Divine Sparrow to her and introduced it, saying, "From now on, let's call it the Boundless Divine Sparrow. It's a strange bird that I discovered outside."

He concealed the origin of the Primordial Divine Sparrow not out of any particular intention, but simply because he found it amusing.

Shen Zhen caught the Primordial Divine Sparrow, which tilted its head and began to rub against her face, making her love it even more.

After teasing her for a while, she couldn't resist touching her.

She hugged the Boundless Divine Sparrow and touched it randomly, even prying its legs apart.

"Gu An, is it a male or female bird?"

Shen Zhen's question made Gu An's lips twitch. He quickly said, "This is a spirit bird, born from the creation of heaven and earth. It has no distinction between male and female. Please don't be disrespectful to it."

This guy actually reached under the body of the Boundless Divine Sparrow, which made Gu An very awkward.

"A spirit bird?"

Shen Zhen responded and continued to fiddle with the Primordial Divine Sparrow.

As night gradually fell, the Wushi Dao Temple remained calm. As always, the Nine Spirits Continent was dotted with starlight under the night sky. These were the lights of the human world in the cities. The majestic Gate of Myriad Realms stood still, seemingly reaching to the heavens. Before it, all things seemed insignificant.

That night, the Nine Spirits Continent, and indeed the entire world, seemed peaceful.

No one knew that the most powerful being in the world had stepped into an even higher level, possessing the ability to overturn everything.

……

In the chaotic void, a deep red mist surged, and the Endless Tower of Heaven within appeared unchanged.

Inside the dimly lit palace on the top floor, Emperor Bone Tongxuan Venerable, now a skeleton, sat on the throne, his eyes icy cold.

The nine Xuanqi Hunyuan Immortals stood in a row, their faces extremely grim. Although Gu An had already left, the scenes of the previous battle kept flashing before their eyes, weighing heavily on their hearts.

What they found most unacceptable was their lord's crushing defeat, which shattered their greatest pride.

Now, they are filled with confusion.

Can this journey to the Heavenly Realm truly lead to success?

Is there a chance they'll never come back?
Emperor Bone Tongxuan Venerable was also in turmoil, his mind filled with Gu An's eyes.

Enveloped by those eyes, all of Emperor Bone Tongxuan's supernatural powers seemed insignificant. It was a complete and utter defeat, and he had no chance of winning.

Whether it was his imagination or not, he felt that the other party had the ability to kill him. Moreover, the other party might be able to destroy the Dark Heavenly Court's fortune, which made him more and more uneasy.

The main hall was utterly silent and extremely oppressive.

for a long time.

One of the Xuanqi Hunyuan Immortals couldn't help but ask, "Lord, shall we still go to the Heavenly Dao?" Emperor Gu Tongxuan Venerable replied, "The other party should have nothing to do with the Heavenly Court. We have an irreconcilable hatred with the Heavenly Court, so he will not show mercy. Perhaps he came for other reasons, or perhaps some dark god offended him. In any case, our journey to the Heavenly Dao cannot be stopped, but we can slow down. I will discuss it with His Majesty."

Upon hearing this, the Xuanqi Hunyuan Immortals all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they are immortal, they always felt that they might actually die when facing Gu An. They didn't want to gamble, and they preferred to play it safe.

"You should all go and rest first."

Emperor Bone Tongxuan Venerable gave the order, and the nine Xuanqi Hunyuan Immortals immediately bowed and then disappeared from the spot.

After they left, Emperor Bone Tongxuan Venerable coughed a few times, raised his hand bone to cover his chest, and muttered to himself, "What kind of palm technique was that, so domineering..."

No one could answer him, and he didn't want to know the answer.

After a while, he disappeared from the throne.

……

The battle between Gu An and Emperor Gu Tongxuan did not affect the fortune of the Great Thousand Worlds, because the Endless Tower of Suppressing Heaven had not yet dissipated. The Dark God immediately stood in the void of the Great Dao, looking down at the Heavenly Spirit Great World, while the Dark Gods of other Great Thousand Worlds were still transmitting scriptures and guiding immortals.

Leaving aside other worlds, the number of dark creatures in the Heavenly Spirit World is increasing, all of them corrupted by dark fortune.

The Dark Cult is growing stronger every day.

Three thousand years later, the Dark Cult has become a powerful sect in the human world, capable of shaking the world. Its dark creatures number in the tens of millions, and it is becoming a behemoth.

All religions in the world began to put aside their grudges and unite against the Dark God Cult. The disciples of Wushi also emerged to save those suffering beings.

After being infused with the fortune of the Dark Heavenly Court, living beings become violent, and their desires are amplified infinitely. As a result, dark beings commit numerous evils, but the Dark God does not see this as a bad thing.

Prolonged tyranny plunges humanity into despair, and it is in despair that one is more likely to fall into darkness.

On this day, just past noon, Gu An, dressed in green, walked along the mountain ridge, with the Boundless Divine Sparrow perched on his right shoulder.

Blood Prison Great Sage followed behind, staring at the Primordial Divine Sparrow with resentment.

Although this stinky bird couldn't speak, it made him feel that his status was threatened.

"Just say what you need to say. Why are you following me around like this?"

Gu An asked without turning his head. After years of cultivating his mind, he had returned to the state he was in before his breakthrough, and he was extremely peaceful.

The Great Sage of Blood Prison quickly replied, "It's nothing. I just wanted to see what you need me to do. You can call me anytime."

"Then I'm ordering you not to follow me."

Gu An said casually, which startled the Blood Prison Great Sage, who immediately stopped and looked at Gu An with an embarrassed expression.

She's really fallen out of favor...

The Great Sage of Blood Prison thought to himself, utterly dejected.

Gu An's face twitched slightly. He really wanted to ask me, "When have I ever spoiled you?"

"Go find Zui'er and help him. When you come back, I will guide you in your cultivation."

Gu An's voice reached the ears of the Blood Prison Great Sage, who was overjoyed and quickly thanked him before disappearing into thin air on the mountainside.

Gu An paid no attention to this and continued walking.

He didn't go to see the situation in the three thousand great worlds; he was admiring the scenery along the way and thinking about how to transform the temple next.

He planned to build some wonders, imbuing them with different Daoist meanings, for his disciples to comprehend.
