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

Chapter 756: Chapter 748: Against the Immortal Gods

After being saved by the Other Shore Emperor, Gu Xuan and Taihao no longer ventured out, focusing on their cultivation steadfastly.

However, when it involved Immortal Gods, Gu An always felt things wouldn’t be simple and surely wouldn’t go smoothly.

The facts were as he anticipated.

Gu Xuan and Taihao cultivated for a thousand years, and then Immortal Gods descended upon the Land of Reincarnation.

[At the age of fifty-two thousand three hundred and ninety-two, Immortal Gods descended upon the Land of Reincarnation. The Other Shore Emperor led you and Taihao to invade the Nine Yin Divine Mansion. As the battle commenced, disciples from Other Shore Heaven also joined in, causing the Nine Yin Divine Mansion to fall into a passive state. You began a killing spree, continuously enhancing your comprehension of the Other Shore Heavenly God Skill]

[In the same year, the Immortal Gods suddenly turned against you, joining forces with the Nine Yin Divine Mansion to besiege Other Shore Heaven. Before your master, the Other Shore Emperor, died, he sent you and Taihao away. You and Taihao fell into reincarnation, you landed in a mortal world, regaining consciousness and vowing to avenge the Immortal Gods]

The Immortal Gods turned against them, indicating it was a plot against Other Shore Heaven. Alternatively, it could be that the Nine Yin Divine Mansion had convinced the Celestial Court during the millennium that the Other Shore Emperor was waiting.

Although Gu Xuan was involved in the downfall of Other Shore Heaven, it wasn’t due to him. It was the result of the power struggle between the two forces with the Celestial Court.

Gu An had only one feeling after reading it.

Weakness is the original sin; the powerful Immortal Gods showed no mercy, changing their stance without hesitation.

Stimulated by this, Gu Xuan began to crazily seek power. He destroyed the temples and shrines of Immortal Gods wherever he went, killing anyone who dared to obstruct him. This naturally led to him attracting the enmity of Celestial Gods within a few hundred years.

Now, no Celestial God could match him.

His path was paved with slaughter, purely out of revenge, which also offered Gu An a choice.

Gu Xuan started traveling to all heavens and myriad realms, targeting Celestial Gods specifically, as they were the easiest Immortal Gods for him to find; they existed in every Great Thousand World.

The title of Immortal Slayer began to spread.

[At the age of ninety-nine thousand eight hundred and sixty-six, you entered Nine Elements Great World for the first time and encountered a group of cultivators besieged by Cosmic Evil Demons. You intervened to save them, and one of the female cultivators called out your name. You then realized it was Yan Yuexi, whom you had rejected back then. Reuniting after a long time, you found her temperament had drastically changed—no longer as reckless as before, but very steady. She wanted to apologize, saying her words back then were nonsense. At her invitation, you headed towards the main world of Nine Elements Great World]

Yan Yuexi!

Seeing her change in attitude, Gu An was somewhat pleased.

Of course, even if she suddenly turned against Gu Xuan and plotted against him, he wouldn’t mind. Surviving until now was already profitable; anything further was just a gain!

After arriving at Nine Elements Great World, the sect of Yan Yuexi and others faced troubles from their enemies, even leading to fierce confrontations. Gu Xuan couldn’t stand it, intervening directly, using bloodshed to instill fear. Subsequently, he started a killing spree in Nine Elements Great World, targeting either Yan Yuexi’s enemies or followers of Celestial Gods, forcing the Immortal Gods to reveal themselves.

But he was at the Taiqing Golden Immortal Realm, and with his past achievements, the Celestial Gods in Nine Elements Great World hesitated to face him.

When the Celestial Gods finally appeared, they brought a celestial army, even Immortal Monarchs joined the fray. The epic battle shook the entire Great World. In the same year, Gu Xuan traversed several Great Thousand Worlds, constantly pursued by Immortal Gods, locked in relentless conflict.

It was only until the following year that Gu Xuan astonishingly chose to break through during battle, achieving the Heaven-Opening Daluo Immortal Realm. The immense thunder of the Great Dao annihilated millions of Heavenly Soldiers, forcing out an even more powerful Immortal God.

A mysterious giant hand crossed time and space, seriously injuring Gu Xuan, who had just reached the Heaven-Opening Daluo Immortal Realm.

At the critical moment, Taihao appeared and rescued Gu Xuan, the two of them escaping to the Underworld once again.

Gu Xuan now harbored immense hatred towards Immortal Gods, beginning a relentless killing spree of any beings that accidentally wandered into the Underworld. Taihao couldn’t stop him but remained by his side.

After ten thousand years.

Gu Xuan reached the Miao Zhen Daluo Immortal Realm, shaking the entire Underworld. Numerous Great Powers came to visit him; even the Nine Yin Divine Mansion sent people, who were immediately killed by him.

After the visitors dispersed, Taihao challenged him, wanting to spar. Gu An then faced the choice of whether to accept the challenge.

He unhesitatingly chose to accept, believing from previous hints that Taihao was extraordinary. Being able to save Gu Xuan from Immortal Gods was evidence enough of his prowess, making it an ideal opportunity to gauge his strength.

Thus, Gu Xuan began a fierce battle with Taihao.

This battle lasted over ten thousand years without yielding a winner. During their combat, they also wreaked havoc upon the Nine Yin Divine Mansion and eventually fell into the Netherworld.

During the combat, Gu Xuan’s Other Shore Heavenly God Skill, Profound Abyss Yin-Yang Guard, and Nine Heavens True Dragon Qi continuously improved, evidently utilizing life span to evolve abilities.

Yet despite this, Gu Xuan didn’t gain an advantage over Taihao according to the prompts.

“This guy is indeed strong, his name carries ‘Hao…'”

Gu An raised his eyebrows, deep in thought.

Sharing a name isn’t much, but at higher realms, the taboo becomes greater. Someone at Taihao’s realm wouldn’t easily use ‘Hao’ as part of their name.

Could Taihao have a connection with the Celestial Court?

The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Gu Xuan survived two Immortal Gods’ sieges with Taihao present each time.

[At the age of one hundred ten thousand two hundred seventy-one, Taihao halts the battle, declaring it a draw. Do you accept?]

Yes!

[You chose to accept. Taihao praised your talent and comprehension as the strongest he has ever seen, agreeing to spar again after surpassing the Daluo Immortal Realm. You happily agreed. Afterwards, you two decided to rest for a hundred years and then completely flatten the Nine Yin Divine Mansion]

[At the age of one hundred ten thousand three hundred seventy-one, you and Taihao descended upon the Nine Yin Divine Mansion, destroying it. As you prepared to wipe them out, a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal arrived. Feeling he wasn’t an opponent, Taihao pulled you away, and you two left the Underworld, arriving in the mortal world]

[At the age of one hundred ten thousand three hundred seventy-two, you and Taihao arrived at the Taishi Great World, which was being ravaged by Chaos Evil Demons. You chose to intervene, and within less than half a year, you eradicated the Chaos Evil Demons in this world]

[At the age of one hundred ten thousand three hundred ninety-nine, you and Taihao arrived at Abyss Dao Sea and discovered a Spiritual Spring by chance. You chose to bathe there, strengthening your bodies; Ghost Third Bro’s Ghost Body also transformed]

[At the age of one hundred ten thousand six hundred fifty-three, you and Taihao left Abyss Dao Sea, entering the Path of the Great Dao. You encountered the birth of a Daoist Emperor, who, noticing your formidable aura, chose to attack you. You killed him fiercely, offending his sect behind him. With others using Divine Sense, they threatened to consign you to eternal damnation]

[At the age of one hundred ten thousand seven hundred one, the Dong Lan Emperor Clan descended upon the Path of the Great Dao, besieging you two. In the end, you and Taihao slaughtered thousands of cultivators from the Dong Lan Emperor Clan]

[At the age of one hundred ten thousand seven hundred two, you arrived at Primordial Emperor Domain and exterminated the Dong Lan Emperor Clan. In the same year, your Other Shore Heavenly God Skill reached a new level of achievement]
