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

Chapter 89 Become my disciple, and you will be the next sect leader.

Okay...pretending!

Gu An stared blankly at the arrogant Lü Baitian, lost in thought.

Lu Baitian raised his chin even higher, thinking that his boldness had impressed the young man.

"Could you be the former sect leader who went mad with power?" Gu An asked, feigning shock.

Going mad from cultivation...

Lu Baitian's face twitched, and he snorted, "That was something I did on purpose."

"But you're only at the Qi Refining Realm now, how can you possibly eradicate the demonic path?"

"Boy, I merely compressed my spiritual power into my primordial spirit, pretending to have gone mad. I just wanted to show those people what the Tai Xuan Sect would be like without me."

Lu Baitian's tone was full of contempt, clearly directed at the Elders' Hall.

Gu An remained silent.

How many innocent disciples will die in the conflict between Lü Baitian and the Elders' Hall?
"Let's go."

Lu Baitian raised his hand, intending to grab Gu An's shoulder, which startled him so much that he quickly stepped back.

"I'm not going, it's too dangerous..." Gu An shook his head.

He has to guard the medicine valley!

Lu Baitian chuckled mockingly, "Don't you want to see how the war between good and evil ends?"

Gu An shook his head frantically, like a rattle-drum, and waved his hand, saying, "I'd better stay and guard the Medicine Valley."

"Don't worry, your Medicine Valley will be fine. I just released my aura, and a powerful cultivator has already arrived." Lu Baitian stopped referring to himself as "this one" and his tone became gentler.

Gu An did indeed sense an aura of the Transcendent Realm rapidly approaching.

The Tai Xuan Sect has a truly profound foundation; just how many Void Transcending Realm cultivators does it possess?
Lu Baitian made another move. Gu An could see his movements, but he couldn't dodge them, so he could only comply.

Grabbing Gu An's shoulder, Lü Baitian made him disappear into thin air.

During the capture, Gu An pushed his Xuanhuang Dragon Qi Gong to its limit, concealing his Golden Core and Primordial Spirit to make himself appear as a genuine Foundation Establishment cultivator.

In fact, he was overthinking it; Lü Baitian did not take the opportunity to examine his physical body.

Ten breaths later, Lü Baitian stopped and led Gu An into a large hall.

The main hall was spacious, with dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, and other mythical beasts and auspicious creatures that Gu An did not recognize coiled around the stone pillars on both sides.

Lu Baitian released his grip, stepped forward, and left with the words, "Wait here; my power has not yet fully recovered."

Gu An could tell from his lifespan probe that he had not yet recovered to his peak, but these words sounded absurd coming from Lü Baitian's mouth.

You haven't even recovered yet, and you're already pretending with me?

It even exudes an aura; aren't you afraid your enemies will take this opportunity to eliminate you?

Wait a minute, this guy is so reckless, yet he insists on bringing him along. Doesn't he realize he's the Sword Master of the Dao?

Upon realizing this, Gu An broke out in a cold sweat.

He watched as Lü Baitian walked up the steps and sat down on a golden chair, looking like the supreme ruler, arrogant and domineering.

He could tell that Lü Baitian was indeed practicing martial arts, and the spiritual energy within his body was being released rapidly.

The hall fell silent as Gu An pondered Lü Baitian's intentions.

After a while, Gu An sensed two auras rapidly approaching, one of which seemed familiar to him.

Anhao!

The other person's aura has already reached the Integration Realm!
He didn't turn around, but walked to the stone pillar next to him and waited.

A few breaths later, two figures flew into the main hall.

Gu An looked up and immediately sent a lifespan probe.

[Lei Zhen (Level 1 of the Integration Realm): 1465/2700/2750]

Thunderclap?

Having never heard of it before, Gu An assumed that the person who had come was the sect leader, Chu Tianqi.

Judging from this, Chu Tianqi's cultivation level is probably even higher.

Gu An felt that his cultivation at the ninth level of the Integration Realm was not very stable.

After this ordeal ends, we must work even harder to prolong our lives!
Being the strongest in the Tai Xuan Sect wasn't enough; he also had to survive the great calamity of demons and monsters. Thinking about this, Gu An felt the pressure.

"Lu Baitian, you're still alive!"

As Lei Zhen walked toward Lü Baitian, he spoke, his voice loud and clear like a bell.

He was tall and imposing, dressed in a brocade black robe, with a mysterious and ferocious beast head on his back, its mouth crackling with thunder, making him look even more domineering.

Sixteen-year-old An Hao had grown quite a bit taller. He wore a fitted blue robe, his long hair was tied up high, and two strands of black hair fluttered like sword winds. His face was handsome, and the sharpness between his brows and eyes could not be hidden.

Looking at him now, Gu An felt very gratified.

He's really handsome, just like me.

An Hao noticed his gaze, looked at him, and nodded slightly.

"Lei Zhen, do you wish me to live or die?" Lu Baitian's voice rang out. He did not open his eyes, and his tone was very indifferent, even more oppressive than when he was facing Gu An.

Lei Zhen stood on the platform, sizing up Lü Baitian, and said with narrowed eyes, "Transcending Void Realm, it seems you have been affected."

Lü Baitian did not answer him.

The atmosphere in the hall became subtle.

An Hao then approached Gu An and asked telepathically, "Brother, who is this person named Lü Baitian?"

Gu An looked at him in surprise.

Why did you come if you didn't know?
An Hao then transmitted his voice, saying, "I was captured. My master asked Elder Lei to protect me. We were evacuating when Elder Lei suddenly changed his expression and brought me here."

Gu An couldn't help but ask telepathically, "Do you think our telepathic communication technique will be useful in front of them?" Upon hearing this, An Hao looked at Lei Zhen.

Lei Zhen's robes fluttered slightly, and a terrifying aura was brewing, ready to erupt at any moment.

“Lu Baitian, since you have faked your death, then don’t come back. Tai Xuan Sect doesn’t need you.”

As Lei Zhen finished speaking, the main hall doors slammed shut, and a vast aura enveloped the entire hall, causing An Hao to catch his breath.

"To lay a hand on me, your former disciple, in front of a junior?"

Lu Baitian's voice rang out, but he didn't open his eyes the whole time.

Lei Zhen stepped forward and said, "It's a good opportunity for him to see the cruelty of the cultivation world!"

He suddenly charged in front of Lü Baitian, raised his right palm, and struck at Lü Baitian's crown.

boom!
The two powerful spiritual energies collided, creating a terrifying gale that caused the entire hall to tremble violently. Gu An pretended that he couldn't withstand it.

An Hao moved aside, blocking his way and using his own spiritual power to resist and protect him.

This kid...

Gu An watched An Hao's retreating figure, feeling gratified.

Although An Hao is only sixteen years old, he has already reached the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. In terms of aura, Gu An felt that he was no less than a cultivator at the eighth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Unfortunately, he was facing the aura of a Nascent Soul Realm expert.

An Hao gritted his teeth, but he was still forced to slide backward by the imposing aura of Lei Zhen and Lü Baitian.

Gu An seemed to sense something and looked ahead. He saw that Lei Zhen, who had taken the initiative to attack, was trembling all over and his momentum was rapidly weakening, but another momentum was increasing at an exaggerated speed.

Lü Baitian!
"You...you can't..."

Lei Zhen suddenly exclaimed, his tone incredulous and filled with despair.

Lu Baitian, who was sitting in front of him, slowly stood up, his feet leaving the ground and floating up, looking down at him.

Lu Baitian's expression was so cold.

Ninth level of the Transcendent Realm!
Lu Baitian's cultivation level increased several levels at once. Not only that, he was breaking through to the Integration Realm. To be precise, he was just releasing his true strength.

An Hao was also attracted by Lü Baitian's figure, his eyes filled with surprise.

"You tricked me... the Fate-Defying Divine Skill!"

Lei Zhen's voice trembled, filled with a mixture of shock and anger.

Lu Baitian looked down at him and mocked, "Lei Zhen, you are still as reckless as ever. How many people have you killed because of your recklessness? You never learn your lesson. Today it's your turn to bear the consequences."

"I was waiting for Chu Tianqi to arrive, but I didn't expect you to come to my death first. Since that's the case, then I'll accept your cultivation. Don't go too fast in the afterlife, Chu Tianqi will soon come to join you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Baitian raised his right hand and pressed it against Lei Zhen's forehead.

Lei Zhen struggled desperately, but he couldn't break free at all. Moreover, Gu An could see that his primordial spirit was also struggling.

Lu Baitian was using incredible divine skills to suppress Lei Zhen's physical body and primordial spirit, and then devour his spiritual power.

Gu An was also terrified.

What kind of technique is this?
boom!
Lu Baitian's momentum rose to a new level once again, while Lei Zhen knelt on the ground. His body withered at a visible speed, and his wild black hair quickly turned pale.

First level of the Integration Realm!
At the same time, Gu An and his companion felt the pressure lessen significantly, as Lü Baitian was restraining his aura to prevent them from suffering any harm.

An Hao breathed a sigh of relief. He stood in front of Gu An and watched quietly.

Gu An felt helpless. He realized he hadn't taught the kid enough. Instead of trying to escape, the kid continued to watch the show, leaving Gu An speechless.

Lu Baitian's momentum continued to rise, while Lei Zhen's momentum rapidly weakened, and the tremors in the main hall began to subside.

After a while.

Lei Zhen's spiritual power was completely drained by Lü Baitian. When Lü Baitian stopped, Lei Zhen's body fell backward and rolled down the steps.

He struggled to lift his head, his weak face filled with pain.

He raised his hand towards Lü Baitian, seemingly wanting to beg for mercy.

Lu Baitian raised his right hand and flicked his index finger at him. A burst of blood-red energy pierced through his forehead and shattered his primordial spirit.

Gathering Spirit Divine Finger!

Gu An sensed that Lü Baitian's aura had reached the third level of the Integration Realm, and there was still a surge of spiritual power emanating from his body.

In other words, Lü Baitian's cultivation level is definitely not just at the third level of the Integration Realm, which is why the entire Demonic Path is wary of him.

Gu An was secretly on guard, fearing that Lü Baitian might go mad and attack him.

After all, Lü Baitian's son, Lü Xian, was not normal!

Ignoring An Hao, Lü Baitian looked at Gu An, a smirk playing on his lips, and said, "So, do I now have the qualifications to eradicate the demonic path?"

Gu An feigned nervousness and replied, "You are the sect leader, so naturally you can..."

He strode forward and walked in front of An Hao.

"Gu An, become my disciple, and you will be the next sect leader!" Lu Baitian looked down at Gu An and said in an irrefutable tone.

Upon hearing this, Gu An was immediately at a loss. He smiled bitterly and said, "Sect Master, my talent is mediocre. No matter how you cultivate me, I will never reach a level of cultivation that will convince everyone in the sect. If you pass the leadership to me, it will be a time of great chaos in the Tai Xuan Sect."

Lu Baitian smiled contemptuously and said, "What if I pass on my cultivation to you before my time comes?"

This……

Gu An was suddenly taken aback by his words.

But he can't possibly become the sect leader!

Even someone as powerful as Lü Baitian was forced to fake his death and pass on his throne; he certainly doesn't want to get into trouble.

Moreover, when Lü Baitian's lifespan is about to end, his cultivation level will probably be nothing to Gu An!
I was rushing to catch a flight today. My flight was supposed to be at 10 AM, but it was delayed until 3 PM. It was so frustrating! But don't worry, there will be two more updates tonight. I won't miss any more updates!
