Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

When Gu An watched the battle between True Yuan Ancestor and Black Desire Emperor, he also paid attention to his old friends. Li Ya and Martial Resolution both had their own Immortal Fate, while Zhang Buku, though he would no longer Ascend to Immortality, had also escaped the Cause and Effect of being hunted by the Celestial Court.

Those old friends still in the Three Thousand Great Worlds also had opportunities to Ascend to Immortality.

In the future, the Celestial Court would undergo an unprecedented expansion, the number of Immortal Positions would increase greatly, and Heavenly Dao would begin to expand into Chaos, representing a significant advancement in the Celestial Emperor’s Dao Practice.

Regrettably, he was already a being at the Ultimate Merging Dao Venerable Emperor Realm Perfection, and even if his Dao Practice grew once more, he still could not reach the Saint Realm.

Every time he saw the progress of the Celestial Emperor, Gu An lamented the difficulty of becoming a Saint, while also feeling fortunate for his own opportunities.

What exactly was hidden behind the evolution of Life Span?

Clearly, the Cause and Effect behind the evolution of Life Span surpassed the Heavenly Dao, even surpassing Chaos. After becoming strong, Gu An pondered the evolution of Life Span itself, although he did not reject it.

He relied on the evolution of Life Span to reach where he was today. To question its existence was to question his own past path.

Although he did not question it, he also wanted to acquire some abilities beyond the evolution of Life Span. For instance, now he was contemplating creating a type of Divine Skill unique to him, one that no one else could cultivate.

The higher the Realm, the higher the Comprehension. Let alone a Saint, a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal could understand the essence of the world’s Divine Skills and Spells at a glance and directly utilize them.

The Divine Skill Gu An wanted to create was one he intended to teach others, yet no one else would be able to learn it.

He put away the scroll before him, then turned toward the Vast Sea and began to ponder.

The thunderclouds at the horizon of the sea continued to churn, as if the entrance to the Abyss were spewing and swallowing its breath, the battle within seemingly endless.

Time flew by swiftly.

Amidst the storm, True Yuan Ancestor held a Silver Sword shining with golden light. He suspended the sword before him, reciting something continuously, as beams of sword light burst forth from the blade, spreading out and extinguishing the Demon Shadows attacking from all directions.

True Yuan Ancestor could no longer discern how long he had been fighting. He dared not slacken, as his opponent was too strong; a slight misstep, and his physical body would be annihilated, and then his soul would dissipate.

As the battle raged, confusion filled his heart.

Instinct told him that the enemy harbored extremely terrifying power, yet the enemy also seemed restricted. The enemy’s use of Divine Skills felt awkward, as if their Mana were being obstructed.

But if he were truly restricted, why did the enemy grow stronger as he became stronger?

Could what he saw be an illusion, a mental barrier created by the Rules of Heaven and Earth?

Although he considered this, he didn’t dare gamble, as the enemy’s attacks inflicted real pain.

True Yuan Ancestor felt powerless; he found himself always in this state.

Always full of confusion, always seeing through the essence, yet always unable to find a solution.

He questioned his birthright, his animosity towards All Living Beings, the Immortal Gods, the Heavenly Dao, yet he chose to escape.

Now, he found no escape, nor a way to break free.

The more True Yuan Ancestor pondered, the gloomier his face became. He began to emit an eerie, terrifying aura. The golden light diffused by the Silver Sword gradually turned black, and his gaze grew increasingly cold.

Amidst the endless Demon Shadows, Black Desire Emperor stepped out, with thousands of Demon Shadows swirling around him like a black tide.

He looked at True Yuan Ancestor from afar, his eyes full of dread.

This Heaven-Opening Daluo Immortal had actually cornered him to this extent!

He could sense that the other party did not have the Destiny of a Primordial Dao Emperor. Why had the mysterious presence that subdued him trapped him with this person?

Black Desire Emperor couldn’t understand either, but he was a Daoist Emperor, the most trusted follower of Taiqi Emperor. He had his pride too.

How could he let a Heaven-Opening Daluo Immortal corner him to such a state?

Black Desire Emperor’s face twisted in ferocity, and the Demon Shadows behind him rapidly coalesced into a terrifying giant face, looking very much like him, only more fearsome.

“Junior, offend this emperor, and you must die!”

Black Desire Emperor roared in a low voice, pushing out with his right palm. In an instant, the giant face behind him opened its massive mouth, its eye sockets expanding.

Boom—

A terrifying black fire wave erupted from behind Black Desire Emperor, traversing the void above the lone island, extinguishing the storm, and even the thunder was obliterated.

The Silver Sword in True Yuan Ancestor’s hand burst forth with powerful Mana, resisting this black fire wave, while the cloud sea behind him was blown apart. In the face of this fire wave, he seemed so insignificant, as if the entire world were collapsing, and he could be obliterated at any moment.

Faced with Black Desire Emperor’s full-strength assault, True Yuan Ancestor’s expression remained as gloomy as ever. His eyes drooped, his consciousness seemed to have entered another world.

A brilliant light descended from the sky, piercing through the thunderclouds, directly dispersing the black fire wave. Black Desire Emperor was jolted back, and when he looked again, he wore a joyful expression.

“Master, why have you come in person?”

Black Desire Emperor asked excitedly. After his excitement, he felt ashamed. Before descending to Central Heaven, he had promised confidently that he would definitely force out the creator of the Primordial Dao Emperor.

Instead, he hadn’t even seen that creator, finding himself trapped here, enduring the humiliation of a Heaven-Opening Daluo Immortal.

Amid the scattering black flames, Taiqi Emperor’s figure emerged. His dark red robe billowed violently, surrounded by seven-colored airstreams, exuding an extraordinary aura.

He ignored Black Desire Emperor, his gaze fixed intently on True Yuan Ancestor.

He could see that True Yuan Ancestor’s state was not right.

“The mind is too fragile; well, after all, he was just born, hasn’t yet undergone the tempering of the Dao Heart.”

Taiqi Emperor murmured softly to himself. He then waved his sleeve, sending a gust of wind sweeping over True Yuan Ancestor’s physical body.

The momentum of True Yuan Ancestor was instantly dispelled. He suddenly looked up, his right hand holding the sword subconsciously lowered, and he looked confusedly at Taiqi Emperor.

When he saw Taiqi Emperor’s true form, he furrowed his brows, becoming vigilant once more.

Taiqi Emperor looked at him, smiled, and said, “You seem full of confusion inside, and you know nothing about your power.”

True Yuan Ancestor cautiously asked, “Who are you? Did you create all this?”

Taiqi Emperor replied, “It isn’t I who has trapped you, but I can help you. Are you willing to leave with me?”

“With you? To where?” True Yuan Ancestor asked back.

Taiqi Emperor smiled and said, “To Chaos, to seek your origin. Heavenly Tao Creatures should have wearied you by now. You don’t belong here.”

True Yuan Ancestor’s brow furrowed, he did not respond immediately.

Black Desire Emperor, hearing this, found it absurd. Why did the Master want to take in this scrap?

He dared not question, but instead reminded, “Master, the one who has trapped me is another person, whose Cultivation Level is unfathomable, and I am no match for them.”
