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

Chapter 924 Fighting the Demon God

Upon hearing Gu An's words, Liu An, who was initially furious, was suddenly stunned, and a huge sense of joy quickly enveloped his heart.

The grievances that had been buried under the weight of a thousand years of effort vanished without a trace. He subconsciously wanted to kneel before Gu An, but as soon as his knees bent, he hesitated.

He looked at Gu An cautiously. In the twilight, Gu An's face was obscured by the eaves, making it impossible for him to see his expression clearly.

Is this another time they're just playing a trick on him?

Gu Anyou said, "Before you came to Zhongtian, your cultivation method was a wrong path. You should be able to feel that once you get angry, it is difficult to control your emotions. You thought that there were other forces controlling you, but in fact no one was plotting against you. It's just that your cultivation method was incomplete and was a trap from the start."

"As for the Supreme Qi Absorption Method, its creator will soon perish, and all beings with karmic connections to it will suffer divine retribution. In that sense, I have actually saved you three times."

Liu An's eyes widened, his expression shifting between light and dark. After a moment's thought, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Gu An.

"I will never forget your great kindness!"

Liu An lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

Gu An said nonchalantly, "I saved you and taught you not for any reward, but out of interest. No matter how high you achieve in the future, it has nothing to do with me, and you must not reveal our relationship. Just pretend it never happened, understand?"

Liu An looked up, puzzled, at Gu An.

"Doesn't this sound like a story about Bodhi Patriarch and Sun Wukong?"

Liu An thought to himself that he didn't know how to answer, because even after so many years together, he still didn't understand Gu An's personality and couldn't grasp Gu An's mood.

Normally, Gu An is always smiling, but when it comes to crippling his cultivation, he doesn't hold back and it always happens very suddenly.

Gu An raised his right hand, which startled Liu An, who instinctively tried to back away.

He had just regained his footing when Gu An pointed his index finger at him. He froze, and figures appeared in his eyes, constantly changing their moves.

And so, Liu An began his new path of cultivation.

Gu An created a unique set of techniques, supernatural powers, and escape methods for him, which enriched his life and filled him with fighting spirit every day.

Liu An practiced his meditation on the beach, accompanied by the sun and moon. When he was immersed in this, time flew by.

After receiving Gu An's true teachings, Liu An's cultivation speed far surpassed that of before, which completely dispelled his resentment. Compared to his current cultivation, everything before was insignificant.

A blink of an eye.

A thousand years have passed.

One day, Liu An was cultivating next to a sea turtle, facing the sea. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and frowned.

He looked towards the horizon and saw the sky gradually turning red, the wind between heaven and earth strengthening, and the spiritual energy becoming restless, making him feel uneasy.

The sea turtle next to it opened its eyes, poked its head out, and stretched its neck, as if trying to see what was happening in the distance.

Unfortunately, with Liu An's cultivation level, he was unable to pinpoint the source of that terrifying aura. After watching for a while, he closed his eyes, intending to continue cultivating.

But the aura emanating from afar grew stronger, making it impossible for him to calm down, and his panic and unease intensified.

After thinking it over, Liu An got up and walked towards the mountain. The mountain wasn't very high, and it wasn't long before he arrived at the courtyard.

He didn't see Gu An, nor could he sense Gu An's presence, but he wasn't surprised.

He couldn't sense it because his cultivation was too weak. He bowed respectfully towards the pavilion and asked, "Senior, where does this oppressive aura come from, and what is about to happen?"

A few breaths later, Gu An's voice came from inside the pavilion: "The immortals and gods are besieging the Supreme Demon God."

Supreme Demon God?

Supreme Being?

Liu An seemed to have thought of something. His expression changed slightly, and he asked cautiously, "Could it be that the Supreme Qi Gathering Technique that I cultivated before originated from the Supreme Demon God?"

The words "demon god" alone suggest that he is no benevolent being.

He then recalled what Gu An had once said: all beings who have a karmic connection with the creator of the Supreme Qi Absorption Method will suffer divine retribution.

This made him feel sorry for the cultivator who had taught him the cultivation technique. Although the two had only exchanged a few words, they had only met by chance, and the other party was willing to teach him the technique. He rarely encountered such kindness.

Despite his sympathy, he was helpless. He couldn't very well ask Gu An to save that person; such an act would be too absurd. He wasn't his childhood friend Wei Ye.

The thought of Wei Ye instantly dispelled the gloom in Liu An's heart. When he returned to the mortal world, he would definitely show Wei Ye just how powerful he was.

Even now, he and Wei Ye still have a good relationship, but since good and evil cannot coexist, they can only keep in touch secretly.

Having followed Gu An in cultivation, the demonic energy on his body had dissipated. Now, it would be difficult for anyone who saw him to determine that he was a demonic cultivator. Therefore, he was looking forward to seeing Wei Ye's expression.

Liu An wanted to ask more questions, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to bow and take his leave.

He felt it best to ask as few questions as possible about matters concerning immortals and gods, lest he bring trouble upon himself.

After he left, Gu An returned to the Wushi Continent. There was a play going on in the city, which he found very interesting and wanted to see it for himself.

Because many disciples imitated Gu An in writing books, the stories circulating on the mainland became very rich. Then, some disciples had a sudden inspiration to perform those wonderful stories. In the process of performing, they could also experience the emotions of the characters, and the viewers found it interesting. Thus, a kind of custom and culture was formed. At least in the Central Heaven, only Wushi had such a culture.

The battle between the immortals and the supreme demon was earth-shattering, and the pressure of the battle continued to spread until it enveloped the entire central heaven.

Above the clouds, Li Xuanmiao and a group of immortals and gods looked down at the great battle below. The earth was shrouded in billowing dust, lightning was everywhere, and the wind howled, as if a long dragon was soaring. If you looked closely, you could vaguely see more than a dozen intertwined figures.

At the edge of the earth, towering figures stood on the edge of the battlefield. Golden light from the heavens formed a great array, isolating this battlefield. Although the earth was sinking, it did not affect the mountains and rivers outside the array.

"I didn't expect His Highness Taihao to be so powerful. I remember he's the youngest emperor right now, isn't he?"

"That's right, he is indeed the youngest emperor in terms of seniority, but the fact that he has the title of Taihao is enough to show how much His Majesty values ​​him."

"Not only is His Highness Taihao powerful, but those immortals and gods are also very strong. Judging from their teamwork and supernatural abilities, they seem to come from the same immortal sect?"

"It seems that the Supreme Demon God will have to stop here."

The immortals and gods in the clouds were discussing, while Li Xuanmiao's gaze was fixed on the rolling dust below, his pupils reflecting the figure of the Supreme Demon God wielding his demonic weapons.

For some reason, Li Xuanmiao felt uneasy, as if something terrible was about to happen.

Just then, a purple light appeared deep in the dust below. Immediately afterward, the entire world darkened. The immortals and gods were startled and subconsciously looked up. Soon, their gazes fell on the sky above.

Mysterious eyes filled the sky, varying in size but all identical in appearance, with purple pupils, cold and mysterious.
