Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 680 - 672 Primordial Dao Emperor
Chapter 680: Chapter 672 Primordial Dao Emperor
Seeing that Gu An didn’t seem to be joking, Xiao Lan felt puzzled, but she had her own pride and didn’t want to concede just yet.
“Then let’s do it!”

Xiao Lan raised her hand and beckoned to Gu An with the demeanor of a master.
The corners of Gu An’s mouth turned up; with a gentle shift of his right foot, the entire world suddenly changed. The celestial vault turned dim, the flowers and grass on the ground vanished, and an endless wilderness appeared beneath their feet.
This sudden change in environment caused Xiao Lan’s face to change drastically. She looked around, feeling that everything around her didn’t seem like an illusion.
What is going on?
She turned to look at Gu An and cautiously asked, “Are you really my Brother Gu?”
Gu An laughed, “Lan’Er, think carefully. Are you really sure about my origins? Since you became sensible, I have been at the Xiao Manor; before coming to the Xiao Manor, did you know who I was?”
“Who are you?”
As she listened to Gu An, the uneasiness in Xiao Lan’s heart disappeared. As long as Gu An was still him, she wouldn’t be afraid.
Gu An drew out the Cyan Hong Sword, gripping the sword scabbard, and said, “First show me your full strength.”
A gleam flashed in Xiao Lan’s eyes, and her figure flickered.
Boom—
Xiao Lan appeared out of thin air in front of Gu An, holding the White Spirit Sword. The sword’s tip was only ten centimeters from Gu An’s shoulder. The ground beneath them shattered, countless debris flew up, as if the world couldn’t withstand the pressure and was collapsing.
Yet, this mere ten centimeters, Xiao Lan was unable to advance any further.
Her pupils suddenly dilated, not expecting Gu An to be so formidable.
Gu An, holding the sword scabbard of the Cyan Hong Sword, pushed forward. Xiao Lan felt an overwhelming force like a tidal wave crush towards her, and she uncontrollably was pushed far away, disappearing at the world’s end like a sharp arrow.
Along the way, Xiao Lan shattered dozens of massive mountains, leaving a long trail of dust and rock floating in the air, an especially magnificent sight.
Xiao Lan quickly emerged from the swirling dust, not looking the least bit disheveled. Around her was visible Qi Force, her eyes filled with fear as she looked in Gu An’s direction.
At that moment, she had a terrifying feeling as if facing death.
The earth and mountains quaked violently, raising a dust storm that covered the sky. Amidst the vast dust waves was a figure rapidly ascending, unmistakably Gu An.
Xiao Lan could feel Gu An’s gaze; she no longer cared why Gu An was so powerful. She immediately raised her sword, and Sword Intent soared to the sky, sword shadows appearing around her, rapidly increasing and expanding their range.
In the blink of an eye, the sword shadows covered thousands of miles around. An endless sea of sword shadows rose along with Xiao Lan’s sword, resembling a cluster of stars heading toward the cosmos. The Sword Qi formed tails like the rise of auroras, splendid to the extreme.
Xiao Lan swung her sword at Gu An, and the sword shadows from all directions followed suit. Every sword shadow unleashed Sword Qi that shook heaven and earth, unstoppable.
The ground trembled, the celestial vault ripped apart; in this overwhelming Sword Qi, everything appeared fragile.
Gu An did not use any divine skills; he flew straight toward Xiao Lan.
Speed increased dramatically!
Like a bolt of lightning, tearing through the sea of Sword Qi between heaven and earth, making it seem as though the celestial vault was split in two.
Clang—
Xiao Lan’s White Spirit Sword blocked Gu An’s sword scabbard, and at that moment, she felt her Qi-Blood surging, extremely uncomfortable.
She looked at Gu An and found his expression so indifferent, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
Such an expression deeply provoked Xiao Lan. She leapt, disappearing in front of Gu An, and reappeared behind him.
Xiao Lan summoned seventy-two large flags, quickly surrounding Gu An; almost instantly, a formation was set, and thousands of thunders erupted, intertwining around Gu An.
Gu An slowly turned around, and as soon as the lightning was about to touch him, it vanished directly, creating an unapproachable area around him.
Xiao Lan’s expression changed slightly. She stored the White Spirit Sword into her storage pouch and cast spells with both hands. The lightning changed color, transforming into Purple Thunder like dragons or snakes, crazily attacking Gu An; the formation’s light also surged, illuminating the entire world.
“Is this all you can do?”
Gu An’s voice echoed, causing the fighting spirit in Xiao Lan’s eyes to surge.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
The world roared, the land continuously shattered, rocks soaring into the sky, and the dim celestial vault began to warp, seemingly unable to bear such a massive battle.
An hour later.
Amidst the ruins.
Xiao Lan half-knelt on a large rock, one hand gripping the White Spirit Sword to support her body. Her hair was disheveled, her robes torn and dirty, looking extremely bedraggled.
She struggled to lift her eyes and saw Gu An descending from the sky, hovering in front of her.
In comparison, Gu An seemed untouched by the battle; there wasn’t a speck of dust on him, nor any sweat or bloodstains on his face.
“How is my strength?” Gu An asked.
Xiao Lan pouted, “Very strong, I can’t beat you.”
After the shock, she felt somewhat aggrieved. A few days ago, everything was so sweet, yet today he was so stern.
Gu An smiled and said, “As long as you can defeat me, you can become a Daoist Emperor. I can teach you cultivation.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan looked at him, struggled to stand up, and asked, “Have you been to the Path of the Great Dao?”
“I’ve been there.”
“Then why did you pretend to be so curious when I talked to you about the Path of the Great Dao before?”
Xiao Lan said with a grievance, feeling as if she’d been toyed with.
Gu An said, “I went there in a past life. Everyone has their past life, you do too. If you wish, I can help you restore your past life memories now.”
Xiao Lan furrowed her brows and asked, “What realm are you exactly? Why are you hiding your cultivation level? Are you…”
She wanted to ask if Gu An was sincere with her, but felt it was a question she couldn’t voice.
Gu An smiled, “I can’t tell you my realm for now. When you exceed me, you’ll know. As for hiding my cultivation level, it’s because I don’t want to cause trouble. I like peace and quiet. You should understand my nature. As for whether I’m sincere with you, you needn’t doubt it. When I went to Xiao Manor back then, it was for you.”
Xiao Lan furrowed her brows even more. She was no longer the innocent girl she once was; she only appeared naive in front of Gu An.
“Is it because of my past life?” Xiao Lan asked.
Gu An nodded.
Xiao Lan fell silent.
Hearing her inner voice, Gu An said comfortingly, “Regardless of past or present life, you are you, only with different memories. If I cared only about your past self, I would have restored your memories long ago.”
Xiao Lan took a deep breath and asked, “Can you help me become a Daoist Emperor?”
Gu An landed in front of her and answered, “I can, but I can also guide you on another path, one not inferior to becoming a Daoist Emperor.”
“What path?”
“Primordial Dao Emperor.”
Xiao Lan’s expression changed. She hadn’t heard of this title, but just from the name, it seemed extraordinary.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Is the Primordial Dao Emperor also a level of destiny?”
Gu An smiled, “That’s right, the path to becoming a Primordial Dao Emperor is different from the Emperor Road. It is not through killing, but through comprehension.”
