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

Chapter 867 It’s not important
Only Gu An noticed Li Ya's enlightenment. An Xin, who was engaged in battle, naturally couldn't pay attention to what was happening below, while Li Ya's disciples were drawn to the battle in the sky.

Several hours passed before they were drawn to Li Ya's state of enlightenment.

As his enlightenment lasted longer, Li Ya began to unconsciously influence the surrounding spiritual energy, and even the rules of heaven and earth. This caused strange phenomena to appear around him, with fluorescent blue lotuses emerging from the ground and surrounding him.

"what is this?"

"Is Master practicing martial arts?"

"No, Master has entered a state of selflessness. Is this like enlightenment?"

"That's right, Master is having an epiphany. As expected of Master, even after experiencing failure, he can quickly recover. This is what we should learn."

All the disciples were excited. Li Ya was not only their master, but also their savior. Even if Li Ya was defeated, it would not affect his image and status in their hearts. Now that they saw their master have an epiphany, they were sincerely happy for him.

Anxin's battle with the man in red robes continues.

For Li Ya, this sudden enlightenment was like a moment of daze. When he regained his senses, he subconsciously looked up and saw that the great battle in the sky was still going on, but the sky was no longer bright, and instead there was an endless starry sky.

Dozens of golden crows were besieging Anxin, and it was because of this that the world was as bright as day.

Deep within the starry sky, countless purple eyes appeared, densely packed, as numerous as the stars themselves.

Li Ya snapped out of his daze and asked, "How long has this battle been going on?"

The previous epiphany had become blurry in his memory, but he could keenly sense that some time had passed.

"Master, it has been seven days."

The disciple beside him answered, his gaze towards Li Ya filled with anticipation.

The enlightenment he had gained made Li Ya's temperament even more transcendent. Moreover, his injuries seemed to have healed, the scabs had faded, and his skin was as white as jade, like the skin and bones of an immortal. Only his clothes were tattered.

Over the past seven days, the disciples have witnessed Li Ya's transformation, which has filled them with boundless hope. Even if the person in the heavens cannot defeat the enemy, they believe that their master can turn the tide.

"Seven days?"

Li Ya muttered to himself. He could feel his magic power had been restored. This feeling was magical and unforgettable.

Even if he recovered, he would still be no match for the two people in the sky, so he could only continue to watch.

After his enlightenment, although his strength did not improve significantly, his senses and perception underwent a qualitative change.

He discovered that a vast magical power enveloped the land, protecting them from the effects of the battle.

only……

This magical power, like that of the man in the red robe, made him feel cold.

He had originally thought that Gu An was protecting the world, but now it seemed that was not the case.

There is an even stronger force behind the man in the red robe!
Li Ya was filled with confusion. Why didn't these demons just kill them? Why did they choose to protect them instead?

In his view, the evil spirits currently wreaking havoc on the world must have some connection with the Heavenly Court.

Li Ya couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it; this battle was no longer something he could get involved in.

He might as well reflect on his previous good fortune and strive for a leap in strength after this battle.

Rather than being protected by Gu An, he preferred to protect his disciples with his own strength. After seven days of fierce fighting, An Xin and the red-robed man's momentum remained undiminished. Both of them were innate Golden Immortals with immense magical power; they could fight for seven million years without any problem, let alone seven days.

However, both of them had exceptional comprehension skills, allowing them to improve in battle, find their opponent's weaknesses, and make their attacks increasingly terrifying, eventually even managing to injure each other.

Since cultivating the Immortal Emperor's Eye, An Xin has never felt such urgency, and even felt somewhat powerless.

Her Celestial Emperor Eyes were no match for him!
The Immortal Emperor's Eye is her greatest reliance; if the Immortal Emperor's Eye is defeated, then she will undoubtedly be defeated as well.

Just as Anxin's mind wavered, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of her, reaching out to grab her eyes.

Anxin's pupils contracted, and before she could react, she could only watch as the hand reached out to grab her.

Everything happened so fast!

Snapped!
Suddenly, another hand appeared and grabbed the hand in front of Anxin.

Gu An appeared beside An Xin, and An Xin stopped as well. The red-robed man who was about to attack in the distance also stopped. He looked at the mysterious old man in front of Gu An and An Xin, his face extremely ugly.

The mysterious old man who wanted to seize the Eye of the Immortal Emperor Anxin was dressed in a dark purple robe. He had a human-like figure, but his head was that of a black raven. He wore a majestic and domineering crown, like the embodiment of extreme evil, and his whole body exuded a cold aura.

Gu An immediately saw through the mysterious old man's origins.

One of the progenitors of the Golden Crow clan from the Dark Heavenly Court, named the Black Emperor!
The Black Emperor was a Great Immortal of the Great Dao. He had been observing the battle but had not detected Gu An's presence. Therefore, he was quite surprised by Gu An's appearance and his eyes widened in astonishment.

As Anxin and the man in red robes stopped fighting, the Dharma image that permeated the universe quickly dissipated. However, the distant void was still distorted, and many flames were burning endlessly, all of which symbolized that a fierce battle had taken place earlier.

The void fell silent instantly.

When Li Ya saw Gu An and the Black Emperor appear, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he knew Gu An would make a move, the terrifying aura of the Black Emperor still sent chills down his spine the moment he attacked. Even when Gu An appeared, he didn't reveal any aura. If he hadn't seen Gu An's figure with his own eyes, he wouldn't have known that Gu An had made a move.

Gu Ansong released the Black Emperor's hand.

The Black Emperor did not immediately make a move. He stared intently at Gu An and asked in a deep voice, "Which fellow Daoist wishes to interfere in this matter?"

Even when Gu An was right in front of him, he couldn't see Gu An's face clearly, which made him extremely wary.

This person's cultivation level is likely higher than his!
He had seen and heard of beings within the Heavenly Dao who were stronger than him, but this was the first time he had ever sensed Gu An's aura.

It is peaceful and tranquil, seemingly without any threat, yet upon closer inspection, it can bring an unfathomable sense of dread.

Gu An calmly said, "It would be somewhat improper for us to intervene in a battle between juniors?"

Upon hearing this, the Black Emperor's mind raced. He began to weigh the pros and cons. Reason told him that he could not fight this person. Even if he had a chance to win, if the commotion was too great, it would surely alarm the Heavenly Court.

"Forget it, it's not important."

Gu An sighed and then waved his sleeve.

His movements were too fast. Just like An Xin before him, the Black Emperor had no time to react and only felt a strong wind rushing towards him.

The Black Emperor, who was a Dao Great Luo Immortal, turned into ashes right in front of Gu An.

The man in the red robe froze, not understanding what was happening.
