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

Chapter 886: Chapter 878 Lord of the Human World

Gu An came to the stone table in the center of the Imperial Garden, placed the Reincarnation Wine on the table, and smiled, “This wine is not bad. I had a bowl earlier, and it indeed contains the mystery of reincarnation.”

Li Xuandao, dressed in a loose white robe, looked at Gu An and asked, “Have you come for the Underworld?”

Ever since the Celestial Spirit Great World repelled the army of Immortal Gods, beings from the Underworld have contacted him, hoping to cooperate with the Tai Cang Dynasty to establish a path that connects Yin and Yang. He hasn’t agreed yet and is still considering it.

Gu An sat down, rolled his eyes at him, and said irritably, “Whenever I come to find you, when wasn’t it to relax?”

Li Xuandao couldn’t help but shake his head and smile at this, then he took the initiative to pick up the wine jar and poured wine for Gu An.

Afterwards, Gu An talked about his observations within the Imperial City, many of which were changes that even Li Xuandao hadn’t noticed. Initially, he didn’t care much, but as he listened, he found the scenes Gu An described to be quite meaningful.

Li Xuandao couldn’t help but lament, “I really don’t know how great the difference in our realms is. Just by casually describing a street in the mortal world, you can make me feel so deeply moved.”

Gu An laughed, “The Great Dao is everywhere; the so-called distinction between immortals and mortals was set after the fact. In the eyes of the Great Dao, immortals and mortals are the same.”

Li Xuandao was lost in thought.

Gu An looked at Li Xuandao, able to see all his future. Since defeating the army of Immortal Gods, the fates of many in the Human World have been continuously changing. As someone who is already a Heaven-Encompassing Free Immortal, Li Xuandao counts as one of the overlords of Heaven and Earth, and he is more affected than others.

Li Xuandao’s ambition is greater than anyone’s, but he seldom reveals it, and he wouldn’t even tell Gu An. Yet Gu An can see it and hear it.

As for Li Xuandao’s ambition, Gu An neither supports nor opposes it.

He greatly appreciates Li Xuandao’s heart for cultivation and his attitude, considering him to be a fellow traveler on the same path.

Until now, except for Gu An, no one knows Li Xuandao’s true cultivation level. He always conceals it by lowering two Great Realms when showing himself to others, and those who once forced out his true cultivation level eventually died by his hand, keeping this secret intact.

Gu An has higher hopes for Li Xuandao.

That is to become the Master of Heaven and Earth.

Li Xuandao, being Emperor for one hundred and sixty million years, has never exploited the common people for personal gain. He may be domineering, feared by the ministers and royal relatives, but he owes nothing to the people.

Gu An has already decided to leave the Celestial Spirit Great World in the future, hoping that by then, someone can protect the Celestial Spirit Great World and fulfill his wish.

No matter what, in this life Gu An was born in the Celestial Spirit Great World, and even though he won’t speak of it, in his heart, the Celestial Spirit Great World holds significant weight.

As to why he wants to leave the Celestial Spirit Great World, it’s not out of fear of trouble, but purely a desire to see the outside world.

He has been hiding in the Celestial Spirit Great World to grow stronger. Needless to say, beings beyond the Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao, those surpassing the Free Immortal, would roam the heavens.

In the future, he also wants to retire to other worlds, constantly changing dojos, truly enjoying the freedom of the Great Dao.

But before that, he needs to break through.

After surpassing the Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao, he will be even more carefree. Even if he leaves the Celestial Spirit Great World, if old friends are in danger, he can assist them at any time, even crossing through all the heavens and myriad realms to help.

As they chatted, Li Xuandao brought up the Celestial Court and lamented, “I wonder how those first Immortal Gods came to be. Does the legendary Celestial Emperor really exist? Was the Celestial Court created by him?”

He thought that given Gu An’s abilities and his fearless attitude towards the Celestial Court, perhaps Gu An had met the Celestial Emperor and even had significant ties with him.

Gu An gently swirled his wine cup and said, “I’m not sure about that, but you could think from the perspective of the common people in the Imperial City. They have similar doubts as you do, curious about how the Tai Cang Dynasty was established and questioning whether you really exist. Even though you’re in the same city, nine-tenths of the populace may never see you in their lifetime.”

Following Gu An’s words, Li Xuandao thought deeply and found himself suddenly enlightened.

“If you become the Lord of the Human World, then in the hearts of all beings in the Celestial Spirit Great World, you are the Celestial Emperor. When that time comes, hope you don’t forget your current disdain and hatred for the Immortal Gods.”

Gu An said in a teasing tone, causing Li Xuandao’s heart to race.

Lord of the Human World!

How does he know about my ambition, and what does he mean by these words, does he support me?

Or has he seen the future?

Li Xuandao’s heart surged with joy. The development of the Tai Cang Dynasty has stalled for tens of millions of years. He had been lost, and the position of the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance was unshakable, with no hope of crumbling. He even felt his aspirations were forever unreachable.

Seeing Li Xuandao’s excited expression, Gu An shifted the topic to talk about his grand-disciple.

The disciples of the Daoist Field of the Beginningless have been increasing, and with more people inevitably comes conflict. He spoke of a conflict he had seen, which also resonated with Li Xuandao.

Li Xuandao’s offspring fight for power, sometimes giving him a headache.

He felt there was a need to learn Gu An’s mindset.

The two of them sat in the Imperial Garden, chatting, just like many years ago when Gu An was not yet the Ancestor Master Wushi, and Li Xuandao was not the immortal Emperor of the ages.

…

In a dim world, thick fog surged.

Zhang Buku and Xu You stood in front of a stele inscribed with strange characters, causing both their brows to furrow deeply.

“The characters of the Ancient Heavenly Court all contain the true meaning of the Great Dao. There are many words I still can’t decipher. I’m afraid even after ten thousand years, you and I won’t be able to break out.” Xu You said in a pessimistic tone.

Zhang Buku clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth, “Ten thousand years? The Three Thousand Great Worlds can’t wait that long!”

Xu You glanced at him and said, “To be honest, even if you and I return to the Three Thousand Great Worlds, we can’t change anything. You should be aware of how terrifying the foundation of the Celestial Court is.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Buku’s face grew even darker.

The thought of the Celestial Spirit Great World turning into a Human Purgatory made his heart twist as if by knives, as if those beautiful memories were about to be torn apart.

“You can rest assured in your cultivation; the Celestial Spirit Great World has been saved.”

A voice suddenly emerged from within the stele, causing Zhang Buku’s expression to change dramatically.

The owner of this voice was none other than the Emperor Bone Profound Venerable!

For the first time, Zhang Buku found this guy’s voice to be so pleasant. He hurriedly asked, “Truly? What exactly happened? Has the Celestial Court decided to stop cleansing the world?”

Xu You was also taken aback. As a former Son of Heaven, he was well aware of the nature of the struggle behind this calamity. How could it possibly stop so abruptly?

“An exalted figure known as Ancestor Master Wushi has repelled all the invading Immortal Gods. The Celestial Spirit Great World is safe, but other Great Thousand Worlds are still being swept by the Immortal Gods.”

Ancestor Master Wushi?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Buku was startled.

Does the Celestial Spirit Great World have such a being?

Xu You’s expression changed even more dramatically, as he understood better what these words represented.

The voice of the Emperor Bone Profound Venerable resounded once more: “However, Ancestor Master Wushi is bound to draw the fire upon himself. That Son of Heaven will personally deal with him, as an enormously powerful Celestial Dao Destiny is descending upon the Celestial Spirit Great World. This Son of Heaven possesses power that rivals the Celestial Emperor, and Ancestor Master Wushi is destined for total annihilation.”
