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

"Gu An, Pan An..." Luo Hun looked at Gu An, thinking in a daze.

His expression made Gu An very displeased.

What do you mean by this?

Disappointed?

Gu An was not afraid of Pan An's identity being exposed now. Not to mention his cultivation level, just his backing was enough to handle all the trouble he could encounter.

Don't think that Gu An has killed many strong people, but those strong people had no direct enmity with him. Currently, the enemies he could provoke would hardly exceed the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Even Lv Xian in the distance felt shocked. Gu An was Pan An?

He knew that Gu An had extraordinary cultivation talent but did not expect him to have such skills.

At this moment, Lv Xian once again felt his own mediocrity.

He realized that true geniuses never show off their talents; they disdain comparing themselves with others.

Ji Ruolai looked at Gu An and said, "My third sister wrote to me, asking me to take good care of you. She greatly appreciates your decision to stay at the Supreme Sect instead of following the Ji Family in relocating."

Upon hearing this, Gu An could only say, "I am cultivating in the Supreme Sect. At a time of crisis, I cannot run away. Moreover, I don't need to go to the battlefield, so I must do my part from the rear."

Ji Ruolai nodded, with a look of admiration in his eyes.

The three chatted for a while before Gu An took the opportunity to bid farewell and leave.

Watching his departing figure, Ji Ruolai chuckled softly and said, "Being sworn brothers with Xuan Tianyi, his cultivation level no longer matters. From now on, I have to treat him as a great personage."

Luo Hun did not respond but muttered, "Why could he write the Investiture of the Gods... I can accept that he wrote the Green Hero Travelogue..."

Don't think that he now loves reading the Green Hero Travelogue and Daoist Xunchun, but in his heart, Investiture of the Gods was the masterpiece!

The former satisfies his desires, while the latter is his life pursuit.

...

Early winter.

Just at dawn, a terrifying demon energy came from a distance, startling everyone at the Supreme Sect.

In Mystic Valley, the servant disciples practicing exercises with Gu An also noticed it, all turning to look in terror.

They had never felt such dreadful demon energy, making them instinctively fearful.

Gu An also felt it and said, "Continue practicing, focus on our tasks, don't worry about what you can't control."

Hearing this, the disciples could only suppress their inner fear and continue practicing.

Chu Jingfeng and Lu Jiujia were also practicing, both furrowing their brows tightly.

They felt that this demon energy far exceeded that of the Six-Headed Sea Dragon, which had once brought despair to the Human Race. Now, an even more terrifying demon appeared, leaving them wondering how to survive the demon calamity.

This demon energy did not dissipate after its appearance; it lasted for seven whole days.

On this day, Gu An came to the Outer Gate City, where rumors about the Demon Ancestor had already spread.

"Have you heard? The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons, who founded the Demon Clan, has resurrected. He is the root cause of the demon calamity."

"The Six-Headed Sea Dragon was only one of the seventy-two Great Demon Kings. There's still the Demon Emperor above him, and now an even more powerful Demon Ancestor appears. What are we going to do?"

"With Senior Xuan Tianyi, Daoist Lord, and the nine great cultivators of the world, we still have a sliver of hope."

"These people are formidable, but who can kill the Demon Emperor and the Demon Ancestor?"

"No matter what, even the Great Cultivators have returned from overseas to aid us. How can we, the people who cultivate immortality, be afraid? We will fight to the death with no regrets!"

Even the Foundation Establishment Realm outer disciples were stirred with bloodlust, ready to fight at any moment.

Gu An arrived at the edge of the Heavenly Repair Platform and saw Di Xie, the son of the Demon Emperor, not comprehending Sword Enlightenment, but standing by the platform, looking at the sky, seeming deep in thought.

The sky was covered with surging dark clouds, and the snow was falling heavily, as if to obscure the vast world.

Gu An also looked up, raising his right hand to catch a flake of snow.

The snowflake melted instantly upon touching his hand, dissipating into wisps of white vapor.

"Loose Immortal."

Gu An silently thought in his heart, judging the cultivation level of the Demon Ancestor.

Indeed terrifying. If Xuan Tianyi and Daoist Lord had not returned, the Human Race of the Three Dynasties, having only Mystic Heart Realm cultivators, how could they resist the Loose Immortal Realm Demon Ancestor?

Even if those two returned, they could not possibly be a match for the Demon Ancestor. The gap in cultivation levels was too vast, vast enough for the Demon Ancestor to easily crush them.

Under Gu An's gaze, the dark clouds in the sky actually formed the outline of two gigantic eyes, overlooking all beings with oppressive power.

More and more people noticed the abnormality in the sky. As they looked up, all were terrified.

Before these eyes, all beings felt their insignificance.

They inexplicably thought of a name.

Demon Ancestor!

The Outer Gate City quickly fell into extreme silence and oppression.

"Humph! So what if it's the Demon Ancestor? I, Xuan Tianyi, will surely vanquish it. Watch closely, everyone, this world is ruled by humans!"

Xuan Tianyi's domineering voice resounded through the Supreme Sect, like thunder, echoing for a long time, making everyone who heard it enthusiastic with boiling blood.

Gu An smiled upon hearing this.

One had to admit, Xuan Tianyi indeed possessed the bearing of a savior. In this regard, Lv Baitian was inferior to him.

Lv Baitian was domineering in management, but Xuan Tianyi had an unmatched sharpness, a sharpness that could bring people endless power in times of calamity.

Gu An could feel Xuan Tianyi flying out of the Supreme Sect, heading towards the Northern Territory.

He turned and left.

Countless demons were coming south, and it wouldn't be long before the great calamity of demons would fully erupt!

Let them fight first. Only after experiencing despair can one truly cherish peace.

...

Heavenly Phoenix Mountain, Nianchu Cave.

At a stone table, Gu An was drinking, while Tian Yao'er squatted on a stone stool, barefoot, looking up at the sky nervously.

At this moment, countless demons were passing by Heavenly Phoenix Mountain, heading south, causing Nianchu Cave to tremble slightly.

Tian Yao'er looked at Gu An, furrowing her brows, and asked, "Master, I don't know why, but I am very angry and want to tear things apart. I have never felt this way before."

Gu An also felt a force.

The demons of the Demon Land were continuously going berserk, losing their minds. This was not caused by the commands of the Demon Emperor or the Demon Ancestor; there was an eerie force affecting the demons in the dark.

Specifically, it was affecting the demons of the Demon Land. Gu An could feel that this force did not extend to the demon creatures in the lands of the Three Dynasties.

He was very curious about what kind of force could influence so many demons?

Could it be the blood of the Demon Ancestor?

He remembered that the demons on this continent were derived from the blood of the Demon Ancestor.

"That's because your cultivation level is not high enough. Do you want to be controlled by other demons in the future?" Gu An asked expressionlessly.

He was watching the grand procession of demons.

No matter which direction his Divine Sense probed, it was filled with countless demons, making one's scalp tingle.

Tian Yao'er shook her head and said, "I don't want to be controlled by other demons. I will only let Master control me."

Gu An did not respond but stood up. He was preparing to strengthen the restrictions in his cave to prevent Tian Yao'er from going berserk and destroying his medicinal herbs.

At the same time.

In the Northern Territory of the Great Jiang Dynasty, on the battlefield where the battle with the Six-Headed Sea Dragon took place, numerous factions had established large bases at the edge of the canyon spanning across the ground.

Lv Baitian hovered in the air, looking at the horizon with a serious expression.

On the other side of the canyon, demon energy pervaded, darkening the skies, like a different world from the one the cultivators were in.

Ji Hantian flew to Lv Baitian's side, saying solemnly, "This battle is unlikely to last for many days."

Lv Baitian glanced at him and asked, "Isn't the Ji Family planning to withdraw?"

"Yes, most of the disciples have already left the Supreme Sect."

"Then why are you here?"

"Because I am the Vice Sect Leader of the Supreme Sect. Anyone can leave, but not us."

Ji Hantian looked far away, his gaze calm, yet his words carried immense strength.

Lv Baitian shook his head and laughed, then looked towards the horizon alongside him.

The demon fog surged at the horizon, like an abyssal storm gradually approaching, with the oppressive feeling of countless demon energies converging.

...

Tianwei Dynasty, the former land of the Chentang Dynasty, in a forest around Three Pure Ones Mountain.

Su Han sat under a tree, caressing the bone sword in his hand. The Nine Nether Thirteen Evil scattered around, and the Ghost Mother of Ephemera sat on a coffin, resting with her eyes closed.

Li Sanyou spoke, "Ghost Mother, all the Great Cultivators of Three Pure Ones Mountain have gone to the Northern Territory. When do we strike?"

The Ghost Mother of Ephemera replied with closed eyes, "No rush, wait for the battle to break out."

Su Han looked up at her and asked, "This time, who is our target?"

"Prince of Taicang, Li Ya," the Ghost Mother of Ephemera uttered the name.

Su Han couldn't help but frown. He knew Li Ya had a close relationship with Gu An. He asked, "Why him?"

"He also mastered the Taicang Divine-Shocking Sword. The Taicang Divine-Shocking Sword of the Li Family was passed down from our Ephemera Sect. Although An Hao prevented us from taking Heavenly Palace Mountain, his appearance gave me an idea. That is to let you also acquire the Taicang Divine-Shocking Sword. The Sword Intent of the Taicang Divine-Shocking Sword can cover the strength of all beings, perhaps better unleashing the power of the Hateful Heaven Divine Sword."

The Ghost Mother of Ephemera's tone was exceedingly calm, as if Li Ya were already a dead man.

Su Han took a deep breath and said, "Choose someone else; there are other Li Family disciples. I don't want to deal with Li Ya."

"Only he knows the Taicang Divine-Shocking Sword in the Li Family, not even Li Xuanmiao of Three Pure Ones Mountain can use it."

"No, Li Ya is my martial uncle. I can't do it!"

Su Han said solemnly, showing a rare strong stance against the Ghost Mother of Ephemera.

The Ghost Mother of Ephemera opened her eyes, her hollow gaze falling on him. Even in broad daylight, it instinctively made him avoid her eyes.

The Nine Nether Thirteen Evil remained silent, all watching Su Han with amusement.

The Ghost Mother of Ephemera slowly spoke, "If you don't want to deal with Li Ya, fine, but you must be prepared to…"

Rumble——

A thunderbolt flashed across the sky, startling the Ghost Mother of Ephemera, Su Han, and the others to look up. They saw thunderclouds rapidly gathering at the horizon, intertwined with lightning, and a colossal figure appeared in the cloud sea.

"Taoist of Immortality, it is time to settle our scores!"

An ancient voice echoed, coming from the mysterious presence within the thunderclouds.

Far away in the Mystic Valley of the Supreme Sect, Gu An was observing the Three Dynasties' lands with his Divine Sense. He discovered that numerous ancient ruins and perilous places across the Three Dynasties' lands revealed signs of spatial formations, transmitting many demons into the interior.

These teleportation arrays came from various ancient relics and deadly grounds.

Gu An was certain that the Seven Stars Spirit Realm was assisting the demons, and those ancient relics were likely left by the Seven Stars Spirit Realm.

The Seven Stars Spirit Realm had indeed made a brilliant move!
