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

Chapter 958 The Mysterious True Essence
As the Qilin Ancestor recounted his story, the Mortal Supreme, the Evil-Suppressing Immortal Lord, the Nine Azure Heaven Lord, the Jin Xuan Immortal, and the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor were gradually drawn in.

As they listened to the Qilin Ancestor's detailed explanation, they gained a new understanding of this guy.

Despite being once the strongest in the world, the Qilin Ancestor was the weakest among them, and they all looked down on him in terms of status.

Although the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor was not a god, she crossed realms and was very powerful. If she hadn't entered the Boundless Continent, she could still have continued to be full of vigor. The Qilin Ancestor, on the other hand, withdrew from the world's view and gave up the title of the number one in the world.

Through the narration of the Qilin Ancestor, they saw Zhongtian from another perspective.

From desolation to prosperity, from solitude to vitality, the Qilin Ancestor once reached the peak, but was later abandoned by heaven and earth and constantly surpassed by those who came after, which made them feel the cruelty of the Central Heaven.

From their perspective, the Qilin Ancestor's cultivation level wasn't strong. But if you think about it carefully, at the Qilin Ancestor's age, their cultivation level was far inferior to his. Putting themselves in his shoes, imagining being constantly surpassed by younger generations, and feeling weaker despite their hard work, it sounded truly cruel.

Su Han felt deeply that the life experience of the Qilin Ancestor was very suitable to be written into the Book of Time. He would use the cause and effect of the Qilin Ancestor as the axis to continuously expand until the entire Zhongtian was written into the Book of Time.

Halfway through the conversation, Su Han's perception of the Qilin Ancestor changed, and his gaze towards the Qilin Ancestor was filled with admiration.

His transformation gave the Qilin Ancestor a glimmer of hope.

Perhaps this child will be his hope of escaping death!
It wasn't until dusk that the Qilin Ancestor finished speaking.

Shen Zhen was equally engrossed in the story and suddenly felt like writing a storybook; she hadn't picked up a pen in many years.

Su Han stood up and bowed to the Qilin Ancestor, which made the Qilin Ancestor feel flattered. He then stood up and returned the bow.

However, Su Han's next words extinguished his hope.

“Your story is very touching. I will write it down for you. Live your life here and atone for your sins.”

The Qilin Ancestor was almost speechless with anger. "You were so touching before, and this is all you say?"

Su Han was even more amused when she saw his expression.

Silly child, I may look younger than you, but I'm actually older than you. How could I possibly be fooled by you?

Su Han turned and left, concealing his achievements and fame.

Shen Zhen also disappeared from the spot.

After watching the Qilin Ancestor for a while, the Red Dust Supreme and the others withdrew their gazes and prepared to rest.

They were used to this life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. They were unable to cultivate themselves, but at night they could contemplate the Dao.

Today, their hearts have calmed down, and they no longer harbor such strong negative emotions, because they are powerless to resist and can only passively accept it.

When they calmed down, they found that the days weren't so hard to endure, and under such circumstances, their resistance and rebellion gradually faded.

This incident did not change the attitude of the Red Dust Supreme and others towards the Qilin Ancestor. Most of the time, the six of them maintained a non-interference attitude, as they all had extremely high self-esteem and did not want others to know their identities.

……

Who can become the second Immortal of Merit?

This issue became a topic of discussion in various temples in Zhongtian, and countless practitioners who did good deeds and accumulated merit appeared in the world. Many reclusive masters came out to preach and benefit all living beings.

The selfless dedication of powerful beings and the salvation of the common people by young cultivators create an unprecedented golden age. This is an era in which the evil path can hardly survive. Even those high-ranking powerful beings will weigh the pros and cons and act with greater caution.

This zenith shocked the ascendants, who realized how truly different it was from all the other heavens and realms.

At the same time, the people's recognition and faith in the Heavenly Way and the Heavenly Court are rapidly increasing, which makes the Heavenly Way's fortune increasingly powerful, thus benefiting the Central Heaven and forming a cycle.

Ten thousand years later. The True Origin Ancestor returned to Fangcun Island, where he saw Xuanwu fishing, and was somewhat dazed.

Xuanwu has not changed at all since he left.

"came back?"

Xuanwu's voice drifted over, its tone calm.

Upon hearing his words, Ancestor Zhenyuan suddenly came to his senses. From Xuanwu's tone, he was certain that the traces of time were still there.

"Yes, there is something I don't understand and would like to ask Master."

As the True Origin Ancestor walked toward the Black Tortoise, he spoke, his gaze fixed on the mountains within the square-inch island, his eyes filled with longing.

Since his birth, he has been to many places, but the only place he truly considers home is Fangcun Island.

Every plant and tree here felt familiar to him, even though the flowers, plants and trees had been replaced.

He came to Xuanwu's side, and the two had a brief chat. Xuanwu didn't ask any questions, and their interaction was very ordinary, but they didn't feel distant from each other.

The True Origin Ancestor could sense the changes in Xuanwu, indicating that Xuanwu had also experienced great fortune during the years he was away.

Afterwards, Ancestor Zhenyuan went up the mountain and came to Gu An's courtyard.

Gu An was carving a wooden statue. He looked up at the True Origin Ancestor and smiled.

He was very satisfied with the True Origin Ancestor. This disciple's temperament and conduct suited his tastes, and he was also very responsible.

After taking the reins of the Great Dao Emperor, the True Origin Ancestor did not act recklessly. Instead, he became even more low-key. He not only relied on the Great Dao Emperors for enlightenment, but he also passed on his own achievements to them so that they could progress together.

The Great Dao Emperors of today have changed. They no longer rely on killing each other and devouring fortune to become stronger; they are also working together to comprehend the Great Dao.

The True Essence Ancestor approached Gu An, bowed respectfully, and then asked, "Master, the Great Dao Emperor..."

Gu An raised his hand to interrupt him, then put down the wooden statue with his other hand, looked at him, and asked, "Have you sensed anything along the way?"

"Feelings?"

The True Origin Ancestor was puzzled, thinking that Gu An was asking about his cultivation. So he fell into deep thought, thinking about how to answer.

His mind raced, and in less than two breaths he had organized all his thoughts. Just as he was about to answer, Gu An suddenly kicked the wooden statue at him.

This wooden statue only has the upper body of a human, and the face is not even carved. When faced with the impact of this wooden statue, the True Origin Ancestor subconsciously dodged.

"division……"

The True Origin Ancestor looked puzzled, but before he could utter the second word, he suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the wooden statue, which was no longer there.

His brows were furrowed, and he felt as if he were being pricked by thorns, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Unseen ahead of him, a dark figure was facing him, one hand gripping the wooden statue that Gu An had kicked.

The dark figure was less than seven steps away from the True Origin Ancestor. So close, yet the True Origin Ancestor couldn't see him at all, remaining vigilant and waiting for him to appear.

"Who are you anyway?"

A hoarse and chilling voice rang out, and the dark figure was not asking the True Essence Ancestor, but Gu An.
