The other disciples did the same—none of them could see through the aura of these figures, which sent a chill down their spines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These newcomers were none other than theThirteen Fiends of the Nine Nether Path. Under the darkness of night, they appeared like thirteen ghostly apparitions, terrifying beyond words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We are disciples of the Taixuan Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall! What do you intend to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A male disciple called out sternly. Within the Taicang Empire, being a disciple of the Taixuan Sect gave them confidence to stand their ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, theThirteen Fiends of the Nine Nether Pathremained unfazed, continuing to advance. The Law Enforcement Hall disciples were forced to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. Don’t scare them. Let them leave quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A weak voice sounded from within the coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhen Qin’s eyes widened as she blurted out, “Senior Brother Su?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Law Enforcement Hall disciples gasped in shock and hastily backed away. Even Ye Lan’s expression turned grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Han’s name was infamous across the cultivation world—not for heroism, but for his fearsome reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it’s your junior sister. No wonder you want to let them go. Fine, get lost then.” A shadowy figure sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhen Qin wanted to say more, but Ye Lan stopped her. Without further delay, she led the disciples away without another word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they departed, Zhen Qin kept glancing back at the coffin, but she couldn’t see through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, Ye Lan and the others left swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TheThirteen Fiends of the Nine Nether Pathplaced the coffin down and removed the lid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Han sat up, his long hair disheveled, one hand gripping the edge of the coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, theThirteen Fiendsspread out, setting up formations in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Han watched as Ye Lan and Zhen Qin disappeared into the distance. His gaze was complicated, his thoughts unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atop a tree in the forest, Gu An stood watching from afar. He held the Qinghong Sword in his arms, his face hidden behind a mask. Only the ghostly glow in his eyes betrayed his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After observing for a long while, Gu An finally turned and disappeared into the dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With spring’s arrival, everything in Taixuan Sect seemed full of life. The sky was blue, dotted with white clouds, and the scenery was picturesque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside theThird Medicine Valley, Gu An was picking medicinal herbs while An Xin followed behind, carrying a bamboo basket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lately, Gu An had been venturing out daily, saving people and slaying demons. Although his lifespan didn’t increase rapidly, he still gained several thousand years each day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he wasn’t just seeking out demons—he was also experiencing the myriad facets of the mortal world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Valley Master, have you heard any news about my brother?” An Xin suddenly asked. She had been holding back this question for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that Gu An was acquainted with An Hao, especially since he was close with An Hao’s master, Lü Baitian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An continued picking herbs as he replied, “Last I heard, he was in Tianwei. Supposedly, he’s set to marry a princess of Tianwei, though the wedding date hasn’t been decided yet. He’s currently in seclusion there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t a secret—it had already spread within the inner sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Taixuan Sect’s top genius, An Hao’s actions always stirred up rumors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sect had even sent elders to discuss the matter, as they fully supported this marriage alliance with the Tianwei royal family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, An Xin let out a sigh of relief and smiled. “What about the princess? Is she talented and beautiful?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know about her talents,” Gu An said casually. “But I heard she’s quite beautiful. You know your brother—if she weren’t good-looking, would he even be interested?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Xin chuckled at that, her smile widening. She then began reminiscing about An Hao’s childhood, sharing stories while Gu An listened patiently, never once showing any signs of impatience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was genuinely happy for An Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he himself had never been married, the thought of his disciple getting married filled him with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After gathering the herbs, the two made their way back to the pavilion complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An had An Xin store the herbs in the warehouse before heading upstairs to read and relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By dusk, he left theThird Medicine Valleyonce again to resume his vigilante work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by, and Gu An’s ninetieth birthday arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over this period, he had slain more than 12,300 demons, accumulating nearly 400,000 years of additional lifespan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His total lifespan had now exceeded eight million years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the land, countless cultivators were also fighting demons and rescuing civilians. Though Gu An had yet to make a name for himself, the thousands he had saved would never forget him. Sooner or later, his deeds would spread far and wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eight Dynasties continued warring, pushing towards unification, while the cultivation world struggled against the growing tide of demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet no matter how many demons they killed, the number of demons in the Eight Dynasties’ territory only seemed to grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Cataclysm wasn’t a massive, simultaneous invasion as some had imagined. Instead, it was an insidious infiltration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps when the Demon Ancestor was revived, everything would change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disguised, Gu An walked along a mountain path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, he saw numerous refugees—thin, dirty, and staggering forward like the walking dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as they passed him, they didn’t turn their heads. It was as if nothing in the world could interest them anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An had seen this many times before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of these refugees had lost their homes to demons, forcing them to flee toward other cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But demons weren’t their only threat—humans could be just as cruel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Banditry was rampant, with criminals preying on the weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An had personally executed several men who had been assaulting women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet today, he didn’t spare a glance at the refugees. Instead, he pondered a question:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t have the ability to steal lifespan, how would he survive in this world?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From sacred sects raising demons to plague the land, to commoners suffering at the hands of both demons and wicked men, the entire world seemed broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he preferred to cultivate in peace, he also wanted to help where he could—as long as it didn’t put him in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he walked, he continued thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he sensed a powerful aura from the south.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snapping out of his thoughts, he sent his divine sense to investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the Ninth Level of the Nirvana Stage, his divine sense swept across mountains, rivers, and vast landscapes until it reached an endless blue sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the distant horizon, he saw a radiant white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a staircase of white lotuses floating in the air, constantly extending forward while the lotuses behind vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lone Daoist walked upon the lotus steps, as if an immortal had descended into the mortal realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Grand Ascension cultivator!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu An finally felt a sense of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had to fight the Demon Cataclysm alone, he really might have considered fleeing with his people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One person alone couldn’t save the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he drew too much attention by single-handedly changing the tide, powerful forces from theSeven Star Spirit Realmand beyond would start investigating him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how well he hid, he couldn’t guarantee they wouldn’t find out his secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having someone share the burden meant he could make his moves more discreetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling faintly, Gu An quickened his pace and resumed his demon-hunting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t kill every demon he saw—only those that attacked villages and civilians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his current rate, gaining hundreds of thousands of years annually, he would break through in less than three years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he was very eager to reach the Second Realm of the Immortal Path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>",1318,"2026-06-06T01:13:12.186Z",1,"novelbin.me","bf53bb13fe536d47804132762f7f6d100e70eb4e04c8d4efbe1e475ed258bacd","when-i-achieved-sainthood-the-immortal-official--chapter-166","when-i-achieved-sainthood-the-immortal-official--chapter-164",567,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhen-i-achieved-sainthood-the-immortal-official--cover.jpg"]
