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

Chapter 873: Chapter 865 Sudden Enlightenment

Gu An stood on the cliff, quietly watching the battle. The man in the red robe was unparalleled across countless eras, undefeated in the same realm, making him a perfect whetstone for An Xin.

Although he already foresaw the outcome, he was still eager to see how the ensuing events would unfold.

Helping Li Ya was one reason, but he was also very interested in the existence backing the man in the red robe.

It might lead to a huge explosion of life span!

Gu An felt no burden in exterminating such malevolent powers.

Powers like these, capable of incidentally annihilating the heavens and earth, were a result of the vast disparity in strength. However, the red-robed man allowed his offspring to torment all living beings, collecting grievances, which was truly evil.

The three Golden Crows were intentionally burning the earth, slowly forcing the remaining creatures of this world to harbor resentment toward heaven and earth, toward the Heavenly Dao. Meanwhile, they could also cultivate their Cultivation Technique by collecting the grievances of all beings.

Gu An watched the battle while examining his Attribute Panel.

He was contemplating when to make his breakthrough.

For some reason, this breakthrough gave him a bad premonition; he always felt that his life span was insufficient.

Because over the years, he had continually pursued the Saint Realm; even though he had guidance from his experiences within the Profound Abyss Divine Pool, he still felt saints were beyond reach, unable to imagine how he could achieve sainthood.

The more he chased the Saint Realm, the greater his reverence for saints.

Yet, knowing there are records about saints within the Profound Abyss Divine Pool indicates that saints do truly exist.

Where exactly are the saints?

Are they watching the Heavenly Dao?

Gu An pondered silently, his gaze fixed on An Xin and the man in the red robe.

The two Innate Golden Immortals fought until the heavens and earth trembled. They tried to avoid affecting the ground, at the same time, a mysterious force covered the earth, protecting it against the aftershocks of their mana.

That mysterious force came from the backing of the man in the red robe, whose existence was a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal. Only Gu An could detect his mana, the others were unaware, including An Xin who hadn’t discovered its presence.

An Xin used the Immortal Emperor’s Eye, but the man in the red robe could always see through it in an instant. Though he could see through it, An Xin still caused him significant trouble.

Simultaneously, An Xin also felt pressured, the man in the red robe’s physical strength was too formidable; even using Karma Divine Power couldn’t harm him.

An Xin felt unprecedented pressure, and so did the man in the red robe, causing his expression to turn grim.

He knew his ancestor was watching him; if he couldn’t defeat this woman using his own strength, how would he face his ancestor?

There was also competition within their lineage; he came to the Heavenly Dao with a mission.

When Li Ya descended into this realm earlier, he noticed it but didn’t pay much attention. Little did he expect such a powerful existence behind him.

Nonetheless…

“I will not be defeated!”

A fierce light burst from the man in the red robe’s eyes, his aura suddenly surged, shattering the surrounding space, breaking through the Illusion Realm created by the Immortal Emperor’s Eye, and drawing An Xin into his domain.

They arrived in a vast expanse where the man in the red robe ascended high above, surrounded by rivers of the Great Dao. As he struck down with his palm, countless stars descended from the heavens, crashing toward An Xin standing on the earth.

An Xin was surprised to find herself unable to move; the domain sealed her actions as soon as it pulled her in.

Very impressive!

Yet to think such tactics could defeat her was to underestimate her greatly.

An Xin looked up, the Immortal Emperor’s Eye erupted with extraordinary light, from her eyes emerged two Divine Swords that rapidly enlarged, slashing the entire realm into halves, pulverizing all the stars along the way.

With just a glance, she obliterated the domain and regained her mobility.

The battle continued fiercely, both sides employing Divine Skills, yet despite their full exertion, they couldn’t defeat each other in a short time.

On the ground.

Li Ya had commenced meditating. He and his disciples all looked up at the battle, but none other than himself could discern the situation.

“So powerful…”

Li Ya was secretly amazed; the aura of the two in the sky was beyond his reach, and their Divine Skills bewildered him.

His Sword Dao had long reached a transcendent level, his prideful asset, but compared to the mysterious Divine Skills of An Xin and the red-robed man, he felt his Sword Dao was insignificant.

Especially An Xin’s eyes, as her Divine Skills were executed without a trace, he could perceive the red-robed man’s frequent pauses, clearly affected by Divine Skills, yet what exactly they were, he couldn’t see or guess.

Over time, Li Ya noticed that the aftermath of the battle in the sky didn’t affect them, judging by the power An Xin and her opponent displayed, his Sword Intent couldn’t possibly block it.

What did this signify?

Gu An had arrived!

Li Ya relaxed completely; a smile appeared on his face as he started to enjoy this unparalleled battle.

An Xin was Gu An’s disciple, who had come specifically to rescue him; he felt he should not be jealous but grateful to An Xin.

An Xin’s formidable strength was a good thing, indicating Gu An’s excellent teaching and serving to counteract his own arrogance and impatience.

He must not become complacent over his own opportunities; while he has his chances, others do too, and he must never indulge in pride.

With this change in mindset, Li Ya began to ponder if other disciples within the Beginningless were as formidable as An Xin.

Not to mention, Lv Xian was indeed impressive!

Li Ya grew up hearing tales of Lv Xian’s talent; later, his life experienced a turnaround, and he disregarded Lv Xian. But since learning that Lv Xian cultivated under Gu An, he felt the pressure, though he never mentioned it.

With Lv Xian’s talent combined with Gu An’s teaching, his current strength must be astonishing.

For some reason, Li Ya felt somewhat moved.

How many Great Powers have become so mighty that they can no longer see old acquaintances? Childhood targets remain, still motivating him to pursue, how could that not make him happy?

He even wondered, had Gu An not come to the Celestial Spirit Great World, what would have happened to him and his old friends?

Suddenly.

He seemed to have grasped something, falling into deep thought.

He needed to find his own Dao, but a person couldn’t imagine it out of thin air; he needed references, a direction.

Perhaps Gu An could become his direction.

Gu An, who shouldn’t have existed, brought new hope to many, wasn’t that the path he now walked?

For his disciples, he shouldn’t have appeared, yet he did, and he is leading them.

As Li Ya pondered, he gradually entered a state of Sudden Enlightenment.

Gu An’s gaze was drawn to him.

“Not bad.”

Gu An praised, under his scrutiny, Li Ya’s future underwent a earth-shattering transformation.

Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal was no longer Li Ya’s limit!

For the first time, Li Ya became the one among Gu An’s old acquaintances to have the highest future achievements.

Moreover, this time Gu An didn’t guide him; he comprehended it himself, and this improvement held immense significance for him.
