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

Inside the cave.

Zhang Buku wielded the stone axe, continuously swinging it. His movements were fierce, his footwork mysterious, and his afterimages appeared in succession, making it seem as if several clones of him were left in the cave.

Since he arrived at this cave and learned the Heaven-Cutting Divine Axe, he hadn't gone out again.

Relying on cultivating the Heaven-Cutting Divine Axe, his Qi-Blood rapidly strengthened, and he had completely fused with the power of that mysterious demon core.

He didn't notice a sparrow watching him from a distant rock.

Watching Zhang Buku's posture, Gu An felt gratified.

This kid still had some talent!

At least he hadn't wasted the effort of nurturing him!

Gu An also noticed the change in Zhang Buku's bloodline. This change wasn't evolving towards the Six-Headed Sea Dragon but was another type of demonic aura he hadn't seen before.

He suddenly thought of the Evil Demon.

The Six-Headed Sea Dragon ingested the True Blood of an Evil Demon, thereby regressing to its ancestors. Could it be that Zhang Buku would also regress to his ancestors?

In fact, Zhang Buku wasn't alone and destitute; he still had a mother. But Zhang Chunqiu had never revealed his mother's identity, making it impossible for him to find her.

Could Zhang Buku's mother have an extraordinary background?

Gu An thought silently but didn't fear too much.

After practicing the Heaven-Cutting Divine Axe for a while, Zhang Buku finally saw Gu An.

"It's you, little sparrow, you've finally appeared. What is your relationship with the predecessor of this cave?"

Zhang Buku asked excitedly. He didn't rush towards Gu An immediately, fearing he'd scare Gu An away.

Gu An shook his head and didn't make a sound.

The Heaven and Earth Nine Transformations, brought by the All Things Form and Energy Art, were indeed convenient. Not only could it transform one's form, but it could also change one's aura. Zhang Buku hadn't noticed anything unusual about him at all.

Seeing the sparrow transformed by Gu An not speaking, Zhang Buku wasn't disappointed either and began to excitedly talk about his own unique opportunity.

If it weren't for this sparrow before him, he wouldn't have had this encounter. He might even have been eaten by demons.

Even if this sparrow had no spiritual wisdom and was unrelated to this cave, he still felt grateful.

Gu An listened patiently. The current Zhang Buku was filled with unprecedented fighting spirit, and his entire essence, energy, and spirit had transformed.

In Zhang Buku, he saw the shadow of An Hao.

That was the aura belonging to a genius!

Gu An suddenly remembered that when they were young, An Hao and Zhang Buku had fought, and that was An Hao's first failure since he began immortal cultivation. He wondered if An Hao still harbored resentment.

After Zhang Buku finished speaking, Gu An opened his mouth and spat out the demon core of the Black Disgust Demon King.

Seeing the sparrow spit out a demon core nearly ten times its size, Zhang Buku's mouth opened wide.

Subsequently, Gu An flapped his wings and quickly disappeared into the cave passage.

Zhang Buku stared at the demon core on the ground in silence for a long time.

...

The New Year had just passed, but the land of the Three Dynasties had not yet welcomed the revival and was still shrouded in demonic mist and demonic Qi.

In the northern region of the Great Jiang Dynasty, in a valley, cultivators continuously flew in and out, very busy.

Xuan Tianyi sat under a tree, his upper body bare and wrapped in white cloth, holding a white bone and examining it carefully.

Ji Hantian approached Xuan Tianyi and spoke: "The Daotian Sect has deduced that the Demon Ancestor is about to descend south. Are you confident?"

Xuan Tianyi replied casually: "Of course, I have confidence. Even if I can't win, there's still Sword Venerable Fudao."

"What if the Demon Ancestor is stronger than Sword Venerable Fudao?" Ji Hantian asked worriedly.

"Then we all die together. Don't really think it's a battle for the survival of the Human Race. Rest assured, if we die, there are larger human forces overseas." Xuan Tianyi said casually, raising the bone in his hand and squinting his eyes as if examining its surface patterns.

Hearing this, Ji Hantian couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He couldn't help but ask: "You've been looking at that bone for days. What's so special about it?"

Xuan Tianyi answered nonchalantly: "My spells are so powerful that this Demon King was reduced to ashes, leaving only this bone. It surely has something extraordinary about it. Perhaps there's a secret hidden behind the demon calamity."

Ji Hantian was about to say more when a strong wind blew from the north into the valley, giving everyone a sudden shiver.

Xuan Tianyi couldn't help but put down the bone and turn his head, frowning.

"Such powerful demonic energy... how could it be..."

Ji Hantian's face changed drastically, mumbling to himself.

Even for a cultivator of the Unification Realm like him, this was terrifying, not to mention the other cultivators in the valley.

"Such terrifying demonic energy, it feels like the sky is about to collapse..."

"Is it the Demon Emperor?"

"No, I've felt the aura of the Demon Emperor before. This demonic energy far surpasses that of the Demon Emperor. It must be the legendary Demon Ancestor."

"This demonic energy is too terrifying. The legends are true, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons..."

"What should we do? We aren't going to fight, are we? Facing such demonic energy, I can't see any hope of winning!"

The cultivators in the valley had fought demons for years and had even experienced battles with Mahayana Realm participants. Their Daoist Hearts had long transformed.

But even so, facing the distant demonic energy, they were terrified, without any will to fight.

Xuan Tianyi vanished into thin air.

Ji Hantian immediately turned and urged the disciples of the Supreme Sect to prepare for battle.

Far away, Gu An stood up at the Third Medicine Valley of the Supreme Sect. He didn't look north but looked up at the sky.

The sky was blue, but the white clouds were dissipating.

"Master, what's wrong?"

An Xin, who was counting seeds nearby, turned and asked. Xiaochuan and several disciples all looked at Gu An.

Gu An said: "The clouds in the sky are dispersing."

Hearing this, the others all looked up. Soon, they also began to feel suspicious.

After the clouds dispersed, they didn't disappear but kept surging, like pieces of torn cloth being pieced together. Moreover, everyone noticed that the whole world became strangely quiet, with even the sounds of insects missing.

"Seven Stars Spirit Realm, is it…"

Gu An looked at the sky and thought silently.

He could feel the space above the Supreme Sect fluctuating, a mysterious power had already enveloped the entire Supreme Sect.

This power had surpassed the Nirvana Realm, so the Supreme Sect cultivators hadn't noticed.

The Demon Ancestor descended south, but another Loose Immortal was about to arrive at the Supreme Sect.

It seemed the Seven Stars Spirit Realm had set its sights on Sword Venerable Fudao.

Were they afraid that Sword Venerable Fudao would stop the Demon Ancestor from descending south?

Under Gu An's gaze, the scattered clouds in the sky gradually formed an array diagram, grand and spectacular. This made more and more disciples of the Supreme Sect look up.

The disciples in the valley could even hear the noise from the outer city in the distance.

Lu Lingjun appeared next to Gu An, saying in a deep voice: "Trouble is coming, you better not run out."

With that, she leaped into the sky.

Not only her, but the Unification Realm cultivators of the Supreme Sect also flew out.

Lu Lingjun took out a treasure sword and slashed it, the spiritual power sweeping across like a rainbow, majestic in momentum.

With a loud boom!

The array diagram in the sky burst out with brilliant golden light, and a boundless pressure descended, startling Lu Lingjun to stop in a hurry.

The other Unification Realm cultivators were the same. Unlike Lu Lingjun, they were suppressed by the pressure from the sky, unable to move, all looking at the array diagram in the sky with fear.

Every piece of scattered cloud in the array diagram emitted golden light, forming golden lines and then condensing into golden runes. The golden light shined down, and whoever was illuminated by it couldn't move.

An Xin's eyes widened, showing a look of despair.

The outer city, atop the Heavenly Repair Platform.

The cultivators in sword enlightenment there all stood, their bodies trembling, they looked at the sky incredulously.

"What is that…"

Zuo Yijian, standing next to the Heaven-Cutting Axe, raised his neck and asked with difficulty.

No one answered him. The other cultivators seemed to be watching the descent of gods, but not bringing fortune, rather despair.

Under the gazes of countless people, a gigantic, illusory face manifested within the vast golden array diagram. Only the outlines of the facial features were visible, its true visage unclear, and its gender indistinguishable. It seemed like the will of the Heavenly Dao overlooking the myriad beings, imposing great oppression on the Supreme Sect disciples.

More and more people's legs shook, kneeling on the ground. Subconsciously, it was as if an invisible hand pressed their heads, not allowing them to look directly at the mysterious giant face in the golden array diagram.

In a mansion in the Inner Sect City, Ji Xiaoyu looked at the sky, her brows tightly furrowed.

She didn't recognize this array diagram, but intuition told her the visitor was certainly related to the Seven Stars Spirit Realm.

"May I ask which senior has arrived, why oppress the Supreme Sect in this world of chaos wrought by demons?"

A female voice rang out, and a woman in black appeared next to Lu Lingjun.

She was the Supreme Elder, Fairy Suxin. Returning from overseas, she suffered severe injuries last year in the demon battlefield, and now back in the Supreme Sect to heal.

Her cultivation level wasn't much higher than Lu Lingjun. Facing the golden array diagram together, they could only slightly reduce the pressure.

The mysterious giant face in the golden array diagram didn't respond. It seemed to be searching for something.

Suddenly.

The golden array diagram emitted golden light beams, shooting towards the outer gate city of the Supreme Sect, sweeping across the sky. Under the gazes of countless disciples, the golden light beams converged into a golden arm, like the hand of the heavens, exuding supreme pressure.

That direction was exactly the Heavenly Repair Platform!

Standing beside the Heaven-Cutting Axe, Zuo Yijian's face changed drastically. He was also suppressed, half-kneeling, unable to stand up.

From his perspective, the golden hand in the sky shrouded the heavens and covered the sun, making everyone in the city feel despair.

With a loud rumble!

The Heaven-Cutting Axe trembled, an immense sword intent soared into the sky, causing the golden hand to stop.

"Existing within the Realm of Immortal Path, why hide among mortal sects?"

A cold voice echoed, reverberating through the Supreme Sect, making every cultivator hear it clearly.

Realm of Immortal Path?

They immediately thought of an entity.

Sword Venerable Fudao!

Only Sword Venerable Fudao could belong to the Realm of Immortal Path!

Gu An and An Xin, like the others, were pressed to the ground. Unlike others who were kneeling, he was squatting with his hands supporting him, arms trembling, head down, making it hard to see his expression.

"Since you won't answer, watch this sect turn to dust."

The cold voice spoke again, like a heavenly god issuing judgment upon all beings. The terrifying pressure over the Supreme Sect suddenly intensified, and the earth began to tremble.

With his head down, Gu An glanced at Xiaochuan, An Xin, and others' desperate expressions from the corner of his eye.

Everyone's hearts were shrouded in fear, too preoccupied to look at those beside them.

Gu An sighed softly.

Why do people always seek death?
