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

Chapter 936: Kowtow for peace of mind

The True Origin Ancestor was shocked by Gu An's power. Standing on Gu An's shoulders, he looked down at Emperor Taiqi and felt a subtle sensation in his heart.

At this moment, Emperor Taiqi, who was sitting cross-legged on the crooked wood, opened his eyes, his face extremely ugly.

The memories of his clone had already entered his mind. More than Gu An's strength, he was concerned that Gu An had actually seen through his cause and effect.

"Who exactly is he? What is his relationship with the Heavenly Emperor?"

Emperor Taiqi gritted his teeth and stood up, hesitating about how to resolve this karmic conflict.

Sudden.

Something fell from the sky and landed in front of him. He looked closely and saw that it was a wooden figure, and the figure looked exactly like the Black Desire Emperor.

Emperor Taiqi's pupils contracted, and he immediately turned around to look. What he saw next was a scene that sent chills down his spine.

Gu An was actually standing on the nebula above, looking down at him!
"How can it be……"

Emperor Taiqi was greatly alarmed and felt fear for the first time.

This place is so far from the Heavenly Dao that it would take him a long time to reach it even if he went all out. Yet the other party was able to arrive at his Daoist temple in an instant.

His Daoist temple was shrouded in a special Dao, isolating him from the void. Heavenly gods and celestial beings, as well as chaotic beings, could not find him. How could he not be terrified when this person could appear directly above his head?
Gu An looked down at him and said, "Give me your full strength. I won't be as lenient as the Heavenly Emperor."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu An leaped down towards Emperor Taiqi.

Emperor Taiqi immediately waved his hand, and a five-clawed golden dragon broke through the nebula, baring its fangs and claws as it charged toward Gu An.

Almost simultaneously, Emperor Taiqi teleported into the void. He turned around and conjured a black cauldron in his right hand. Each of the four sides of the cauldron was engraved with a different face.

He summoned the black cauldron, which instantly grew larger than heaven and earth, even comparable to the nebulae in the void.

The black cauldron emitted a sound that shook the heavens, and the entire void began to distort and collapse towards the mouth of the black cauldron. The spiritual energy of the Great Dao surged forth, stirring up a terrifying gale.

The golden dragon howled and dissipated into smoke. The True Essence Ancestor standing on Gu An's shoulder felt as if his soul was being sucked away. He looked at the black cauldron with his eyes full of horror.

What magic weapon is this?
He had never felt such power from a magical artifact before in Zhongtian. He could feel the power of the Great Dao of the entire universe surging towards the Black Cauldron.

Is this black cauldron devouring the Great Dao?
His gaze was fixed on the black cauldron, and the four giant faces on its surface made him feel dizzy.

at this time.

He saw Gu An wave his sleeve forward, and in an instant, a sword flew out, like a blue rainbow slicing through the distorted void, and struck the black cauldron directly.

boom--

A deafening roar shook the very soul. Under the watchful gaze of the True Essence Ancestor, the invincible black cauldron was shattered in an instant. The gathered power of the Great Dao exploded, tearing the void apart. Darkness appeared like a bolt of lightning, threatening to devour everything within the void.

The True Essence Ancestor's eyes widened, shocked by Gu An's casual sword strike.

Emperor Taiqi suffered a backlash due to the shattering of his treasure. His face turned deathly pale, his eyes widened, and his long black and white hair danced wildly. This supreme being who created the Great Dao Emperor appeared disheveled.

Gu An stepped forward with his right foot, arriving in front of Emperor Taiqi in one stride. He raised his right hand, and the Qinghong Sword tore through the spatial turbulence, landing rapidly in his palm. He then grasped the hilt and slashed with the sword.

Poof!

Before he could react, Emperor Taiqi was beheaded by Gu An.

Everything happened so fast that the expressions of True Origin Ancestor and Emperor Taiqi were almost identical, both of them dumbfounded.

Death came so quickly that Emperor Taiqi could not feel any pain.

This sword strike not only severed the head of Emperor Taiqi, but also severed his karmic ties with Emperor Daodao.

The head of the Taiqi Emperor separated from his body; one floated upwards, while the other plummeted downwards, leaving only a wisp of his divine soul before Gu An. This soul rapidly condensed, forming a deep blue pill. Gu An smoothly sheathed the Qinghong Sword at his waist and then reached out to grasp the deep blue pill.

True Origin Ancestor felt an irresistible force pulling him forward, causing him to grow larger and land in front of Gu An.

He looked at Gu An again, his eyes filled with awe and fervor.

The aura and treasures of Emperor Taiqi were so powerful that he felt invincible, yet such a being was actually killed with a single sword strike.

Gu An's sword strike was too casual; he didn't show any power at all during the entire process, and ended the battle with a single, effortless slash.

His gaze involuntarily fell on Gu An's waist, his heart filled with curiosity.

What sword is that?

It was actually able to directly shatter that black cauldron that could devour the Great Dao.

Gu An's lips curled up as he held up the deep blue pill and said with a smile, "This is the karma of the Great Dao Emperor. How about I give it to you? From now on, you can control the Great Dao Emperor."

The True Essence Ancestor came to his senses and cautiously asked, "Why did you give it to me? Why did you save me?"

"It would be a pity for someone with your talent to die, and even more of a pity to be fooled. I want to see you grow freely, and I want to see you transcend the Great Dao."

Gu An looked at the True Essence Ancestor and answered with a smile.

His words deeply moved Ancestor Zhenyuan, who was overwhelmed with emotion and felt a surge of feelings he had never experienced before, emotions that were indescribable and inexplicable.

The True Origin Ancestor subconsciously asked, "And then what happens after surpassing the Great Dao?"

Gu An blinked and said, "If you can transcend the Great Dao, then we can discuss the Dao or exchange Dao techniques."

The True Essence Ancestor was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Will I die?"

He looked old and weathered by time, yet his words sounded so naive.

Gu An was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, and the laughter grew louder and louder.

His laughter embarrassed the True Origin Ancestor, but the True Origin Ancestor did not lower his head and continued to stare at him, wanting an answer.

Gu An shook his head and said, "You despise all living beings, but you have never killed a single one. Your thinking is correct. The path of seeking the Dao does not necessarily involve killing. I will not kill you. After you transcend the Great Dao, you will still be free. I do not need you to repay me with anything."

Upon hearing this, the True Essence Ancestor remained silent for a moment, then knelt directly in front of Gu An, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice, "Please accept me as your disciple, senior, otherwise I will not feel at ease."

The master-disciple relationship was frequently observed by the True Origin Ancestor during his travels. This relationship even surpassed kinship and was regarded as the most important relationship by cultivators in the Central Heaven.

This is also the relationship that the True Origin Ancestor could think of that best expresses his feelings.

Gu An looked at the True Essence Ancestor kneeling before him and saw that the True Essence Ancestor's cause and effect had changed once again.

The future of True Origin Ancestor continues to extend, and his holy appearance becomes increasingly evident.

At this moment, the future of True Origin Ancestor is surpassing that of the Heavenly Emperor.

Gu An saved him on a whim. Even if he hadn't encountered the Black Desire Emperor, as he grew stronger, he would have inevitably attracted the attention of the Supreme Emperor and the Heavenly Dao Supreme, and would have encountered many troubles in the future.

The path to sainthood is inherently fraught with difficulties.

But when the True Ancestor knelt before him, Gu An couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder.

In the darkness, he sensed a sage's karma submitting to him, and this feeling actually caused his cultivation to begin to improve.
