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

Chapter 786 Ziwei Immortal Emperor
The blue sky was magnificent, and a meteor streaked across the sky, wreathed in flames, heading straight for the earth.

It swept across mountain after mountain, crashing into the mountains and causing the entire earth to tremble. Mushroom-shaped clouds of dust rose up, rocks flew, and trees were swept away like dust. The terrible impact destroyed everything in the mountains and rivers along the way.

The heavens and earth roared, and the sound lasted for a long time.

As the storm subsided, a figure slowly emerged from the rolling dust. It was a man dressed in purple. He walked on the ruins, his sideburns fluttering, revealing a handsome face. His eyebrows and eyes appeared aloof, and there was a thin purple line on his forehead, making him look otherworldly, like a god descending to earth. Even the dust could not conceal the luster of his purple jade crown.

As the man in purple robes moved forward, he looked into the distance and muttered to himself, "The changes in this world are truly remarkable."

Before he had gone far, a figure appeared in mid-air in front of him; it was none other than Immortal Lord Taiyi.

Taiyi Immortal Lord looked at the purple-robed man from afar, raised his hand in greeting, and asked, "Ziwei Immortal Emperor, it's been a long time. May I ask what brings you to this realm?"

The purple-robed man, known as the Purple Star Immortal Emperor, smiled and replied, "Immortal Lord Taiyi, does this realm now belong to you?"

"Although it is not under my jurisdiction, your choice to pass through the Heavenly Light instead of entering through the Boundary Gate in a dignified manner is probably against the Heavenly Rules."

Taiyi Immortal Lord stared at Ziwei Immortal Emperor and said in a meaningful tone.

The Purple Star Immortal Emperor maintained his smile and said, "I haven't done anything yet, so how could I have violated the Heavenly Rules? On the contrary, you have been in this realm for so many years, haven't you ever neglected your duties?"

The two immortals were locked in a fierce confrontation, and the winds and waves in the world almost stopped. Their eyes met, and neither of them feared the other.

After a long silence, Taiyi Immortal Lord finally broke the silence and said, "If you do not reveal your origins, then I can only stop you. Once our cultivation levels clash, our fortunes will surely alarm the Heavenly Court, and no one will have a good outcome."

"You knew this would happen, yet you still tried to stop me? Wouldn't it be better if we each did our own thing?" Emperor Ziwei sneered. As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and purple light burst forth from his palm, revealing a purple jade staff. He then grasped the staff.

This action has already demonstrated his attitude!

Taiyi Immortal Lord did not expect Ziwei Immortal Emperor to be so tough, which made things difficult for him.

Just then, the Purple Star Immortal Emperor's expression changed drastically, and a terrifying killing intent enveloped him, causing the magical power within his body to solidify.

He felt like he could be annihilated at any moment!

Even if he could be resurrected, he would still feel terrified in the face of such killing intent.

He quickly put the purple jade staff into his body. As he retrieved the magic weapon, the terrifying killing intent disappeared, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Taiyi Immortal Lord did not know what Ziwei Immortal Emperor had gone through. He did not sense the killing intent, but he could sense the change in Ziwei Immortal Emperor's aura.

"Indeed, there's no need to make things so tense. Since the Immortal Lord wishes to protect this realm, then I should refrain from further disturbance."

The Purple Star Immortal Emperor smiled again, bowed to the Taiyi Immortal Lord, and then turned and left.

He had just lifted his right foot when he vanished from the spot.

Taiyi Immortal Lord could sense that Ziwei Immortal Emperor suddenly entered the Heavenly Dao Light Layer outside the heavens.

The Purple Star Immortal Emperor seemed to leave even faster than he had arrived.

Taiyi Immortal Lord seemed to be deep in thought. He immediately thought of Gu An and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

He bowed respectfully towards the direction of the Nine Spirits Continent, then turned and left.

Meanwhile, Gu An, still in the mortal realm, watched the departure of the Purple Star Immortal Emperor.

The Ziwei Immortal Emperor, this immortal god, is inextricably linked to An Hao's birth. Back then, the Heavenly Spirit Immortal Venerable stole the World-Slaying Great Dao Pearl from the Ziwei Immortal Palace, and the World-Slaying Great Dao Pearl contained An Hao's original divine soul.

In other words, this immortal is related to Emperor Xuanqing and the God of Longevity, and is very likely to be in the same camp.

However... the Purple Star Immortal Emperor possesses the aura of the Eternal Dao!

Gu An was certain that he had not come for An Hao, but for something else.

Fortunately, the Purple Star Immortal Emperor has not yet become his karmic nemesis. Perhaps it is because of the vast difference in their cultivation levels that the Purple Star Immortal Emperor dares not disrespect him.

Or...

Could it be that the Purple Star Immortal Emperor's joining the Eternal Dao was arranged by the Heavenly Court?
As Gu An cooked, he thought to himself that he had no grudge against the Eternal Dao Sect and there was no need to make enemies beforehand.

Even if they become enemies, he still needs to figure out the relationship between the Eternal Dao and the Heavenly Court.

Afterwards, Gu An put aside all distractions and focused on cooking.

Even as night fell, the laughter of the three of them still echoed in the courtyard; their hopes for the future made them look very happy.

Gu An knew that their future was not happy, and that as long as he maintained his current status and power, he could not prevent the tragedy from happening.

Over the long years, Gu An has experienced all kinds of lives. The only thing he can control is not to do evil. But there are always dark places in the world. Even if you don't do evil, you will still be punished.

The moon sets and the sun rises.

Thirty years later, Gu An stood under the shade of a tree, looking at the hillside in front of him, where a man was kneeling in front of two tombstones, making a vow.

Those two tombstones belong to Gu An and his wife in this life. Their son wanted to cultivate immortality and went out to explore for ten years. As a result, their enemies came to their door first, and Gu An and his wife died under their enemies' swords. When their son returned home, he didn't even see their bodies. It was the neighbors next door who buried Gu An and his wife.

Gu An watched this scene calmly, showing no intention of revealing himself.

The karma of this lifetime has come to an end.

He could see his son's future in this life. Although he and his wife were unfortunate, their son would eventually achieve his wish, kill his enemies, successfully enter the world of cultivation, and even become a great cultivator who would be famous throughout the continent.

That's all; this child will eventually fall before Nirvana.

Gu An watched for a while, then turned and left.

He returned to the Wushi Dao Temple, walked into the courtyard, and saw Shen Zhen and Shangguan Xian'er writing books and discussing something inside.

Without eavesdropping, Gu An knew what they were doing.

These two individuals intend to incorporate their cultivation techniques into their works. Readers will need to find the patterns within the stories to master the methods. Their books will spread throughout the Nine Spirits Continent, and some have even taken their books into the Myriad Realms Gate to spread their works to other worlds.

In this respect, they surpassed Gu An.

Gu An often wondered if he was writing too seriously.
He went to the refining cauldron and continued refining the Dao treasure.

He no longer forges new Dao treasures; he merely refines and enhances the Dao treasures of his disciples.

Taking the Six Paths Mirror, a Dao treasure that brings peace of mind, as an example, it already possesses the ability to contend with innate Golden Immortals.

This was Gu An's favoritism, directed towards those disciples who were always with him.

Only a handful of the third-generation disciples possessed Dao treasures, and no one after that possessed any.

Not long after Gu An returned, An Zizai came up behind him and said respectfully, "Grandmaster, a prince from the Taicang Dynasty has come to visit you. He claims to be an old acquaintance of yours."
