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

Chapter 920: Chapter 912: Supreme in Shock

Supreme?

Such an arrogant title!

Martial Resolution thought to himself, then cupped his fists and greeted, “My name is Martial Resolution. Upon meeting Fellow Daoist, I wonder what business you might have?”

Though Emperor Taihao seemed harmless, Martial Resolution remained cautious.

Emperor Taihao smiled and said, “I observe that your cause and effect seem to originate from the Celestial Spirit Great World. I have also been to the Celestial Spirit Great World, having ascended here thousands of years ago.”

Upon hearing this, Martial Resolution was secretly startled. The fact that the other could see through his cause and effect indicated a cultivation level stronger than his own.

Feigning surprise, he asked, “Fellow Daoist has actually been to the Celestial Spirit Great World. When was it, if I may ask?”

Emperor Taihao sighed and said, “It was during the Immortal Demon War, when I fled there.”

Hearing these words, Martial Resolution fell silent. He had experienced that catastrophe; while the Celestial Spirit Great World narrowly escaped disaster, many other Great Thousand Worlds suffered immensely.

In this sense, the person wasn’t lying, for during that time the Celestial Spirit Great World was indeed a rare sanctuary.

“Are you also seeking the White-haired Ancestor?” Emperor Taihao shifted the subject and asked curiously.

Martial Resolution nodded and said, “Having ascended to this realm, one must seek Immortal Fate. I heard the White-haired Ancestor awaits a destined one, so I thought I might try.”

Emperor Taihao laughed, “How coincidental, so am I. Why don’t we partner up and journey together, and chat along the way? After ascending for such a long time, meeting a kindred spirit fills my heart with joy.”

Martial Resolution hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Thus, the two set off together; Emperor Taihao was adept at conversation. Every question Martial Resolution asked would receive a response, followed by a related inquiry from Emperor Taihao.

Before reaching the White-haired Ancestor’s dojo, Martial Resolution already had a sense of regretting not meeting sooner.

Emperor Taihao reminded him of Gu An, evoking memories of their long-ago acquaintance; who knew after so many years he could still find such a soulmate.

Several hours later.

The two entered a valley where the flowers and plants started exhibiting different colors, still vibrant. They stopped talking and focused their gaze on the colorful surroundings.

“The White-haired Ancestor is the Celestial Dao Venerable of the Celestial Court. In the Three Thousand Great Worlds, you won’t encounter her. If you came to Central Heaven a few eras later, you likewise wouldn’t have the chance to meet her. This is our best opportunity, even if we fail, just seeing the Supreme’s true form would leave no regrets in this life.”

Emperor Taihao spoke with a peculiar tone, which fell upon Martial Resolution’s ears as longing for the Celestial Dao Venerable.

Celestial Dao Venerable?

It was the first time Martial Resolution heard this title. To be named Supreme must mean this White-haired Ancestor holds a high status in the Celestial Court.

Perhaps comparable to the Ancestor Master Wushi’s status in the Celestial Spirit Great World.

The Ancestor of the Immortals; sounds immensely powerful!

Martial Resolution’s gaze became passionate. If he could obtain the White-haired Ancestor’s inheritance, he could surely achieve enlightenment and fulfill all his prior desires.

Meanwhile.

At the top of a nearby mountain, Gu An, clad in a azure robe, was gazing down upon them.

Neither Martial Resolution, nor Emperor Taihao, nor the White-haired Ancestor hidden in the depths of the valley sensed Gu An’s presence. As long as Gu An wished, they wouldn’t see him even if standing right before him.

Gu An looked at Emperor Taihao with some pity in his heart.

This Son of Heaven, possessing the greatest talent, would die in Central Heaven.

An Xin and the Sin sensed the Immortal Emperor’s Eye that originated from Emperor Taihao’s Immortal Emperor’s Eye.

The Celestial Emperor helped him restore the power of the Immortal Emperor’s Eye, allowing him to absorb mana from every living being to grow stronger. Later, he would engage in a decisive battle with Emperor Taihao in this realm. Before that, he needed to become the most wicked being so that Emperor Taihao could become the Savior.

For Emperor Taihao, this was a dead-end; his only chance of survival was defeating Emperor Taihao, to once again be the most qualified Son of Heaven to succeed the Celestial Emperor.

It was a very tragic path, gambling on the fact that the Celestial Emperor wasn’t deceiving him.

In truth, Emperor Taihao didn’t trust the Celestial Emperor, hence he wished to enjoy his last moments.

Gu An turned to look towards the valley. He saw the White-haired Ancestor sitting under a peach tree, playing the zither, yet no sound emanated.

The first time seeing the White-haired Ancestor was at the Endless Dao Mountain, where Gu An went to listen to the Dao.

Now meeting the White-haired Ancestor again, Gu An felt a different sentiment in his heart.

After several hundred million years, the White-haired Ancestor was still at the late-stage Daoist Great Luo Immortal Realm in cultivation; this was the true situation of Immortal Cultivation.

Seeing her increased Gu An’s appreciation for what he currently possessed.

“Having cultivated to this realm, is escape still impossible? Celestial Dao Venerable.”

Gu An thought to himself, observing how the White-haired Ancestor had become embroiled in the struggle between Emperor Taihao and the Celestial Emperor.

The White-haired Ancestor chose to support Emperor Taihao solely because Emperor Taihao’s master was her grand-disciple. Over the long years, Emperor Taihao’s master had already fallen into chaos, yet this sentiment remained.

Unfortunately, the White-haired Ancestor would never have imagined that the so-called Emperor Taihao was actually the true body of the Celestial Emperor.

It’s not just her; all Immortal Gods in the Celestial Court wouldn’t imagine.

Every time the Celestial Emperor changes identity, he leaves no traces. Those Immortal Gods who knew the truth no longer exist.

Gu An came this time intending to assist Martial Resolution.

Since the White-haired Ancestor was destined to die, he chose to strengthen his old friend.

According to the original fate, Martial Resolution did not earn the White-haired Ancestor’s trust. Instead, it was Emperor Taihao who stayed. Many years later, when Martial Resolution, along with Great Powers worldwide, campaigned against the Human Race led by Emperor Taihao, seeing him again shocked Martial Resolution.

He never expected such a close friend would tread such an intensely wicked path.

Under Gu An’s watchful eyes, Martial Resolution and Emperor Taihao entered the valley and met the White-haired Ancestor. Facing this Celestial Dao Venerable, Martial Resolution was quite nervous, whereas Emperor Taihao appeared very composed.

The White-haired Ancestor was indeed waiting for Emperor Taihao; however, since Martial Resolution came, she symbolically issued a test, asking both to comprehend a Great Cauldron.

Gu An silently aided Martial Resolution with Dao Intent, enabling him to first comprehend the Secret Technique within the Cauldron, surprising the White-haired Ancestor.

Though surprised inwardly, the White-haired Ancestor remained outwardly calm, as if she had predicted this outcome.

Before Emperor Taihao awoke, she accepted Martial Resolution as a disciple.

The process was clean and swift, making Martial Resolution believe the legends were indeed true; he was immensely excited and immediately bowed to the White-haired Ancestor.

After a long while, Emperor Taihao also awakened. He successfully comprehended the Secret Technique, but upon learning Martial Resolution had achieved enlightenment quicker, he was shocked.

He gave Martial Resolution a deep look; his astonishment surpassed even that of the White-haired Ancestor.

So the talent of a Mortal Spirit can surpass that of the Son of Heaven?

Thus, Martial Resolution and Emperor Taihao both apprenticed under the White-haired Ancestor, to henceforth cultivate Supreme Dao Technique in this valley.

The White-haired Ancestor watched Martial Resolution, engrossed in discussion with Emperor Taihao, feeling a mix of emotions.

She merely sought to wait for Emperor Taihao, unexpectedly encountering such a prodigy.

His talent was average, but deep within his soul lay a peculiar True Meaning of the Great Dao. Coupled with his incredible comprehension, after her initial shock, the White-haired Ancestor suddenly had an idea.
