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

The Celestial Spirit God began to tell Gu An the information he had gathered in the lower realm. He hadn’t found any news about Yang Jian, but he had discovered information about the struggle for the Son of Heaven.

“It is said that a Son of Heaven is recruiting Immortal Gods, seemingly searching for something in the Three Thousand Great Worlds. I heard that two Sons of Heaven are preparing to engage in a game in the Great Thousand World. This matter has already been permitted by the Venerable. If it is true, it will be an unprecedented disaster for the Three Thousand Great Worlds.”

“When Immortal Gods fight in the Great Thousand World, they will inevitably bring about destruction. However, Cangtian can repair the Great Thousand World. But even so, ninety percent of the cultivators will perish.”

At this point, the Celestial Spirit God looked at Gu An, furrowing his brows.

Gu An asked, “Why?”

“Because the Immortal Gods will recruit cultivators to fight for them. The struggle for the Son of Heaven is merely a matter of pride, no matter who wins or loses. Even if the Celestial Court discovers it, the punishment will be insignificant. But the Immortal Gods under the Son of Heaven will recruit cultivators to do their bidding. Cultivators recklessly involving themselves in the struggles of the Celestial Court will incur Cangtian’s punishment.”

The Celestial Spirit God sighed, and Gu An also remained silent.

This matter is indeed unsolvable. Even if they inform the cultivation forces of the Three Thousand Great Worlds about this point, cultivators will still fight for the hope of ascending to immortality.

The path of cultivation is inherently about competing with others and contending with heaven and earth.

Although Gu An cannot yet see such a future, through the words of the Celestial Spirit God, he can already foresee how dark those years will be.

“How long do you estimate it will be before the struggle for the Son of Heaven sweeps across the Three Thousand Great Worlds?” Gu An asked.

The Celestial Spirit God replied, “In the Celestial Court, there’s the Immortal Year’s concept: one day in heaven is a year in the Human World. According to the time in the Human World, it could be as fast as ten million years, or as slow as several hundred million years.”

Such is the difference between immortals and mortals. To the Immortal Gods, ten million years pass quickly, but for the Human World, ten million years are enough to change the course of history.

Fortunately, for Gu An, time isn’t that rapid either; ten million years are enough for his power to soar.

Of course, even if this catastrophe were to erupt now, he wouldn’t be afraid.

He exists at the Perfect Daoist Great Luo Immortal Realm level. Even in the Celestial Court, if he’s not the strongest, he wouldn’t be an easy target either.

“What about the two Sons of Heaven’s strength? Will they personally take part?” Gu An asked.

“That’s not something I could investigate, but they will certainly take action. Such struggles have occurred many times before. To become the Celestial Emperor, besides being powerful, one must also rely on the strength they control. Therefore, they will first act as the players. If they are on the brink of losing it all, they will undoubtedly step in personally. The Celestial Court is the same. The Celestial Emperor is supreme, often in seclusion or asleep in Reincarnation. But if the Celestial Court encounters a catastrophic calamity, the Celestial Emperor will certainly act, capable of turning the tide.”

The Celestial Spirit God showed a look of longing and then recounted some legends about the Celestial Emperor.

In the Celestial Court, even if the Celestial Emperor hasn’t appeared, his legends are enough to make all Immortal Gods trust in his abilities.

The Celestial Court has controlled the heavens for countless years, and the reason they have their current status is that they’ve suppressed wave after wave of opponents and rebels. Even when the Chaos Evil Demons launched a massive invasion, they couldn’t shake the Celestial Court’s Celestial Dao Destiny.

The legends told by the Celestial Spirit God were exaggerated, almost praising the Celestial Emperor to be omnipotent, as if without the Celestial Court, the Celestial Emperor would still be the most powerful being, capable of suppressing all beings.

Gu An thought these legends weren’t false. He compared the disparity in strength between the Celestial Court and the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and even without counting the Celestial Emperor, the Celestial Court was terrifyingly powerful.

With so many Immortal Gods, there are always those with ambition. For the Celestial Emperor to permanently occupy that seat, his power must be overwhelmingly superior.

After discussing the Celestial Emperor, the Celestial Spirit God asked, “Master, how do you view the Celestial Spirit Great World? Do you let it be, or find a way to help them avoid this catastrophe? As long as they don’t support the Immortal Gods, even if affected, they can be resurrected by Cangtian after death. If we do nothing, once the news spreads, they will surely choose to assist a Son of Heaven.”

Between the two Sons of Heaven vying for power, there will be one winner. But even following the winner, besides a few can ascending to immortality, others will face Cangtian’s punishment.

Even as a Son of Heaven, they don’t have the authority to distribute a large number of Celestial Dao Immortal Positions.

Gu An replied, “If I can protect the entire world, I won’t refuse. I just won’t join the internal conflict. You and I have lived in this Great World for many years, not without grace, but also with fate. Find a way to help them avoid it, but don’t expose our existence.”

This matter doesn’t need him to act personally. The Celestial Spirit God now serves him and naturally has to work on it.

Of course, Gu An wouldn’t treat him unfairly.

After finishing the official matters, Gu An began to expound the Dao for the Celestial Spirit God.

Even after becoming a Celestial God, cultivation is necessary, but the higher one ascends, the more challenging it becomes. Gu An used his achievement in Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal to guide the Celestial Spirit God, which was a great opportunity for the Celestial Spirit God.

The Celestial Spirit God had never stepped into the Celestial Court, and he naturally couldn’t access teachings from Supreme Immortals or the Celestial Dao Venerable.

Every time Gu An expounded the Dao, the Celestial Spirit God listened intently. Serving Gu An wasn’t just to protect himself and his son Tian Hao; he also wanted to improve.

No matter how strong his talent, the endpoint could only be a Star Monarch, but now the situation was different!

The Celestial Spirit God’s ambition was also growing, and he was consciously paving the way for Gu An and Wushi.

…

Above the sea of clouds, a beam of blue light swept across. On closer inspection, it was a blue round fan, and on the fan stood a dozen figures, led by the Eternal Life Venerable who had previously visited the Celestial Spirit Great World.

Yang Jian, clad in silver armor, stood among the crowd, his gaze continually scanning the surroundings, admiring all the scenery along the way.

In the distance, the sea of clouds surged, transforming into various shapes that were magnificently breathtaking. Occasionally, True Dragons and Phoenixes leapt out from the sea of clouds, raising clouds and mist.

“Brother Yang, you are fortunate. Upon your first arrival, you can accompany the master to the Dao lecture. That White-haired Ancestor is a Celestial Dao Venerable, staying outside the Celestial Court most of the year, seldom returning. She’s also among the few willing to expound the Dao,” a Grey Robed Taoist looked at Yang Jian and said with a gentle smile.

All those around were Immortal Gods, with the lowest Immortal Position being a Star Monarch. There were even Main Deities and Immortal Monarchs present, each of them possessed an imposing aura and unfathomable presence.

Yang Jian couldn’t help but curiously ask, “Celestial Dao Venerable? Is someone bearing the title of Venerable the highest in the Celestial Court’s Immortal Position?”

The Grey Robed Taoist smiled, “Naturally. Even among Celestial Dao Venerables, there are degrees of superiority. When we encounter them, we must salute and dare not offend in our hearts, or the Heavenly Dao will punish us. When you meet her, you will never forget it.”

“Being able to behold a Celestial Dao Venerable is a great blessing in itself. Cangtian will greatly increase our Celestial Dao Destiny, saving us years of arduous cultivation.”

“Moreover, the Dao teachings of a Celestial Dao Venerable are beyond your imagination, certain to yield abundant gains for you.”

These words made Yang Jian even more expectant of the upcoming Dao lecture.

He also felt more grateful to Gu An.

Master, I am about to face a Celestial Dao Venerable and listen to her teachings. If you knew, would you be pleased for me?

Yang Jian felt a bit regretful because he felt he was attending in place of his master. Such a grand opportunity should have belonged to his master.
