STEADILY BECOMING A SAINT, THE IMMORTAL OFFICIALS HIRED ME TO TEND THE HORSES

Chapter 646: Chapter 638: The Struggle of the Celestial Army

Within the vastness of the world, an endless army of Silver-armored Celestial Soldiers is besieging a terrifying figure far larger than any mountain in the Human World. This figure, resembling a Demon Turtle, is coiled in a terrifying Demonic Qi, with more than ten Flood Dragons rampaging within it, and upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that these Flood Dragons are the turtle’s tails.

The Demon Turtle is so colossal that the figures besieging it appear as tiny as dust; a mere twitch from it could cause a catastrophic tremor shaking the heavens and the earth.

In the distance.

Zhang Buku, clad in Silver Armor, stands shoulder to shoulder with Xu You, who is also wearing Silver Armor but looking somewhat awkward compared to Zhang Buku’s dignified bearing.

Zhang Buku looks toward the distant battle with a face full of fear and shock.

Among the Silver-armored Celestial Soldiers participating in battle, none have a Cultivation Level lower than theirs; their numbers exceed ten million, hailing from different worlds of the Great Thousand World. Yet, the gathering of so many powerful warriors fails to make an impact on the Demon Turtle.

“This is a Chaos Evil Demon; such demons may not be the strongest, but it is said that the Chaos harbors countless ones like it. If we can subdue this one, our Celestial Army might have a chance to be established,” Xu You spoke with a tone full of emotion.

Zhang Buku turned to look at him, asking in surprise, “With so many Reserve Celestial Soldiers, can we really become Celestial Gods?”

Xu You gave him a disdainful glance and said irritably, “Becoming a Celestial God is not so simple. Only by holding our ground do we have a chance. If we are lucky enough to encounter extraordinary warriors, we could ride the winds to ascend, which is better than facing the Heavenly Dao’s trials alone.”

After hearing this, Zhang Buku once again shifted his gaze towards the distant Chaos Evil Demon.

Taking a deep breath, he leaped and joined the battle, with Xu You not lingering and following closely behind.

As far as the eye can see, figures from all directions are still relentlessly charging toward the Chaos Evil Demon, and there are always those who fall, with the Vast Earth strewn with blood and dismembered limbs.

All those participating in this battle are either the top talents or the most powerful from various worlds. Yet, in the presence of the Chaos Evil Demon, they seem as insignificant as insects; their Spells and Divine Skills not even capable of dispersing the Demonic Qi surrounding it.

At the same time.

Atop layers of clouds, a formidable figure overlooks it all, donned in the oppressive Silver Armor of the Celestial Court. Behind him stand two Immortal Gods in robes, looking down indifferently at the battle below.

As Immortal Gods, they have witnessed countless such battles and they do not sympathize with the fallen, for anyone who has come here has done so with resolution, and even in death, they harbor no regrets.

The Celestial Calming God slowly said, “This batch of the Celestial Army doesn’t have many with great potential. Even if they survive this ordeal, few are likely to achieve greatness.”

The two Immortal Gods behind him silently nodded, each holding a Jade Disc in one hand and their other hands swiftly moving as though writing something.

…

The news that Taiyi Immortal Monarch had been suppressed by Gu An did not spread; at least in the Celestial Spirit Great World, except for Gu An and An Xin, no one knew that Taiyi Immortal Monarch had been there.

And after Taiyi Immortal Monarch’s Soul was cast into Reincarnation, the Celestial Spirit Great World also did not experience any significant upheavals.

It wasn’t until the Celestial Spirit God stepped out from the World Gate that he stood before it, sensing something faintly, and looked at the Celestial Spirit Great World with shock in his eyes.

He could feel a trace of presence left by Taiyi Immortal Monarch.

Taiyi Immortal Monarch had been here, but nothing had happened to the Celestial Spirit Great World. What did that indicate?

His reverence for Gu An deepened, he had guessed that Gu An possessed the Great Power to contend with Taiyi Immortal Monarch, but he had not thought that this battle would end in silence.

What did that indicate?

There could be a vast disparity between Taiyi Immortal Monarch and Gu An!

The Celestial Spirit God took a deep breath, a smile appearing on his face as he felt everything was heading in a favorable direction.

He returned to his previous spot and sat down to continue his Cultivation.

Sending Tian Hao to the Misty Immortal Court, he too was deeply moved. After many years, the Misty Immortal Court remained unfathomable, and his close friend had already surpassed him, filling him with a fighting spirit.

To know, his talents had been acknowledged by the Celestial Court; before becoming the Celestial Spirit God, his life was filled with nothing but cheers and praises.

As the Celestial Spirit God closed his eyes, the gears of time in the Human World began to speed up.

A year passes as if a day.

In the blink of an eye.

Another ten thousand years have passed; the Human World has changed beyond recognition, and countless living beings have come and gone, yet the faces governing heaven and earth haven’t changed much.

This year, as spring ended, Gu An stood at the mountaintop, facing the wind as he stood upright.

An hour earlier, he had used the Life Span Projection feature, hoping to enhance his Path of Power.

To him now, spending one trillion years of his life span wasn’t too painful; after the consumption, he still had over fourteen trillion years left.

As the projection ended, a prompt appeared before his eyes, and he couldn’t help but close his eyes to start feeling the insights of the Path of Power.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly halted, and the Dao Rules began to change, causing the creatures on this land to feel suppressed.

This time, Gu An didn’t pass on his Dao insights within a dojo; instead, he deliberately chose a continent with a less advanced immortal cultivation atmosphere for the transfer of his insights.

As Gu An pursued enlightenment, the Power of the Great Dao began to pour into this mainland. Countless cultivators felt uneasy due to the change in nature’s spiritual energy, but before long, they felt an inexplicable sense that made them subconsciously review the cultivation techniques they’ve mastered.

Soon, this continent fell into silence as the influence of Gu An’s pursuit of enlightenment continued to expand, reaching out towards the oceans and other continents.

After a long while.

Gu An’s enlightenment came to an end, and he opened his eyes, then disappeared from the spot.

After his departure, silhouettes streaked across the sky; these people carried the aura of saints, like enlightened ascetics, observing the mountains and rivers along the way as if in search of something.

Gu An arrived in a city of the Human World in one step; it was a mortal city with only a few cultivators who kept their cultivation levels hidden, unknown to others.

He entered a bookshop and started to peruse the collection.

His thoughts drifted to Zhang Buku of the Taize Great World.

Zhang Buku had suddenly disappeared for a few thousand years, and even Gu An could not divine his karma; Gu An speculated it was related to the Celestial Court.

Fortunately, Zhang Buku later returned unharmed to the Taize Great World, so Gu An did not think too much about it.

Whenever Zhang Buku and Xu You mentioned the Celestial Court, Gu An could not hear nor deduce anything; perhaps this was why the Celestial Court was so mysterious. Even reaching the Daluo Dao Fruit Realm, one cannot pry into the Celestial Court’s karma.

Although Zhang Buku had returned, his will was clearly dejected, and Gu An hesitated whether to give him some guidance or not.

Gu An could guess that Zhang Buku might have suffered a setback in the land of the Celestial Court.

Most likely, he failed in competing for a Celestial Dao Immortal Position with other outstanding figures, or lost hope and was hugely hit.

On the other hand, Xu You was unaffected and started to frolic in the Human World and stopped cultivating after returning to the Taize Great World.

Gu An thought about these things, but soon his attention was caught by the books in his hands.

When it comes to writing, books by mortals are indeed more delightful to read; those written by cultivators are too utilitarian and lack the delicacy in expressing human emotions.

“Dear customer, if you like this ‘Yan Lou’s Secret Lover,’ why not buy it? If you purchase the whole set, I’ll even include original character illustrations drawn by the author,” the bookkeeper approached enthusiastically.

Gu An closed the book in his hands, put it back on the shelf, and turned to leave.

Seeing this, the bookkeeper’s face showed displeasure.

Looking decent enough, but why only look and not spend any money?

How stingy!

“Shopkeeper, take out all the illustrations you mentioned; I’ll buy them,” said Gu An, his voice drifting back, clearing the cloud from the bookkeeper’s face and bringing a beaming smile.

“Alright! Dear customer, just give me a moment!”
