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

Chapter 929 A Fate Descends from Heaven
"Who? So arrogant?"

An Zizai's face immediately turned gloomy. For him, it was the greatest insult that someone dared to threaten Wushi.

Who dares to boast of slaughtering the entire beginningless world?

He felt no fear, only anger.

Wu Xie tried to calm himself down. As he recalled, he said, "I don't know who he is. He is a Great Dao Emperor. He forced me to accept his power. I felt that he was being tricked and did not agree. Afterwards, he threatened me, saying that he would come to me and wipe out all those who were on the same path as me."

The phrase "fellow practitioners" led Wuxie to believe it referred to Wushi's fellow disciples.

An Zizai thought for a moment and said, "Come with me, we're going to see our grandmaster."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie hesitated, though he rarely communicated with the patriarch. What he cared about most was the patriarch's opinion of him.

An Zizai said seriously, "This matter is no longer just about you, but is a problem for the entire Wushi. Don't let your pride delay important matters."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie immediately stood up and took a deep breath.

And so, the two left the mountain and headed to Wuzhong Mountain to find Gu An.

However, Gu An was not at Wuzhong Mountain, and they could only wait for his return outside the courtyard.

This wait lasted for several days.

When Gu An returned, An Zizai was the first to greet him.

"Don't worry about it, you can continue your cultivation. I will personally handle the trouble with Wushi."

Gu An said with a smile, which made An Zizai pause in surprise.

Before An Zizai could answer, Gu An stepped forward and entered the courtyard.

Wu Xie watched Gu An walk past him, and he subconsciously said, "Grandmaster, that person is a Great Dao..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu An raised his hand, signaling him not to say anything more. He could only stop and stare blankly as Gu An entered the hospital.

Once Gu An's figure disappeared from their sight, Wu Xie turned to look at An Zizai, his face full of astonishment.

An Zizai smiled and said, "Then let's continue cultivating. This means that all of that person's karma is in the eyes of our grandmaster."

At this point, An Zizai's eyes were filled with anticipation; he wanted to see that arrogant man kneeling before his master and begging for mercy.

Wu Xie had always known that the patriarch was very strong, but he didn't know exactly how strong he was. However, the feeling that the mysterious Great Dao Emperor gave him sent chills down his spine.

With his current cultivation level, he couldn't muster the slightest desire to resist that Great Dao Emperor; it was as if he were facing the Great Dao itself.

"Is it really okay?"

Wu Xie frowned, feeling uneasy.

An Zizai didn't offer much comfort to Wu Xie. He patted Wu Xie's shoulder and turned to leave.

Wu Xie looked back at the courtyard. The doors and windows of the pavilion that belonged to the patriarch were all closed. He could only suppress his unease and leave.

In the years that followed, Wu Xie found that he never saw the Great Dao Emperor again, and his enlightenment returned to its former state, smooth and peaceful.

He guessed that this was the power of the patriarch, and his unease completely subsided, allowing him to focus on cultivation.

Rather than relying on the protection of the patriarch, he hoped that the one who would protect Wushi would be himself.

...The sky was ablaze with crimson clouds, and a great river stretched across the wilderness, dividing the land in two.

The river water surged and roared, splashing up two waves of water on both banks, creating a magnificent and awe-inspiring sight.

On one side of the bank, Li Ya and Wu Jue sat facing each other drinking. On a small table between them were pastries, fruits, and flowers, which were very exquisite.

After finishing his cup of wine, Wu Jue exclaimed, "Brother Li, I never expected you to be so refined. At our level of cultivation, we have long since abstained from grains, and very few people prepare wine, dishes, and snacks like you do."

Li Ya replied with a smile, "I learned this from Junior Brother Gu. No matter how high his cultivation level is or where he goes, he always has the leisure to enjoy himself and experience the world and nature with the attitude of an ordinary person. I think it's quite right. After all, we are all ordinary people, and this is our starting point."

Mentioning Gu An, Wu Jue was also deeply moved. He sighed and said, "I wonder where Brother Gu is now."

"Don't worry, given Zhongtian's development trend, he will definitely come in the future. With his personality, he seems to dislike the limelight, but he actually loves to join in the fun," Li Ya said with a smile.

Encountering Wu Jue in Zhongtian filled him with surprise and emotion.

Without Gu An, he and Wu Jue might not have made it this far.

Although he didn't know how Wu Jue got here, his intuition told him that it must be related to Gu An.

Wu Jue shared the same thought. He and Li Ya were both full of confidence, but they would not deny the importance of Gu An to them.

The distance between Zhongtian and Tianling Great World is so vast that the two have not seen each other for hundreds of millions of years, yet they are able to reunite here. Fate has given them new insights into their Dao hearts.

After discussing Gu An, Wu Jue brought up a major event in the world today. He asked curiously, "That Xuanji Emperor challenged the Dragon Emperor and wants to spread the name of the Hunyuan Dao Emperor. What do you think of his chances of winning?"

The Primordial Dao Emperor is a kind of Great Dao Fortune. Influenced by Gu An, Wu Jue and Li Ya both embarked on the path of the Primordial Dao Emperor by chance.

None of them associated the Primordial Dao Emperor with Gu An, because the Primordial Dao Emperor was so profound, like the immortal position of a god, or like the Great Dao itself. They even thought that the Primordial Dao Emperor was a product of the Great Dao and existed in itself.

Li Ya suppressed his smile and thought seriously for a moment before saying, "I have met both the Dragon Emperor and the Xuanji Emperor. Although the Dragon Emperor is incredibly talented, I feel that the Xuanji Emperor has a better chance of winning. After all, that guy once traversed the Great Dao and left a great reputation in the Three Thousand Great Worlds. His combat experience is far beyond what the Dragon Emperor can match."

Wu Jue nodded and said, "I also hope he can win. If the name of the Primordial Dao Emperor can be spread throughout Zhongtian, it will be helpful to both of us in our cultivation."

The Primordial Dao Emperor is a kind of Great Dao Fortune. The more cultivators there are and the stronger they are, the stronger it becomes, and the greater the help it provides to the cultivators.

The Primordial Dao Emperor can help them better comprehend the Dao and is an important aid to their cultivation; they all have high expectations for him.

Just then, a golden snowflake fell from the sky and landed between the two of them.

They looked up and saw that the sky, filled with rosy clouds, was experiencing a golden snowfall.

The golden snow fell on the table, transformed into golden energy, and dissipated silently.

Wu Jue raised an eyebrow and said, "This snow is unusual, can you sense it?"

Li Ya squinted at the tabletop. The golden energy had left no trace. He pondered, "It actually contains the spiritual energy of the Great Dao's origin. This is a great fortune."

The two immediately sat cross-legged and began to practice their internal energy.

The golden snow fell heavier and heavier, covering all parts of the sky, and its range continued to expand and become more dense.

Fangcun Island.

Xuanwu sat alone on the beach, tilting his head back to feel the golden snow, muttering to himself, "Could it be that another monster has been born?"

Over the long years, strange phenomena of heaven and earth have appeared one after another. Some of them have caused fear among all living beings, while others have given them opportunities. He has become accustomed to them.
