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

Chapter 823: Chapter 815 Celestial Mandate, Farewell

Son of Heaven Jie Yan has finally arrived!

Gu An listened to Shangguan Xian’er recount the deeds of that Ascender, while his eyes were also probing the future of Son of Heaven Jie Yan.

After Son of Heaven Jie Yan ascended, he displayed a vast Celestial Dao Destiny, making many instantly believe he was the reincarnation of the Son of Heaven. For the sake of Immortal Fate, many supported him, allowing him to quickly gather a major force.

To become the Master of the Great World, he would inevitably oppose the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance.

The Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance does not have an absolute ruler; there are many Alliance Hierarchs, and any major event must be discussed. They would never let Son of Heaven Jie Yan tread upon them. Various sects were watching to see how the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance would handle Son of Heaven Jie Yan.

Shangguan Xian’er again mentioned the great battle between Son of Heaven Jie Yan and a prodigy from the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance. That battle attracted worldwide attention; the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance had rankings for disciples of every Great Realm, and Son of Heaven Jie Yan challenged the top prodigy of the same realm from the Heavenly Spirit. With an absolutely powerful stance, he won, making people even more convinced he’s the reincarnation of the Son of Heaven.

Since ancient times, there have always been Ascenders, but no matter how strong those from the Lower Realm are, their Daoist Techniques always fall short compared to cultivators of the Celestial Spirit Great World. Ascenders can stir up waves, but can never surpass the prodigies of the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance.

The Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance possesses the best resources of the Celestial Spirit Great World, especially those who make a name as a prodigy, whose resources are far beyond those an Ascender can compare to.

“Ancestor, can’t you foresee the future? Do you think that Son of Heaven can shake the rule of the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance?” Shangguan Xian’er asked excitedly.

She bore no animosity toward the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance; she was simply eagerly anticipating a drastic change in the world’s structure. Before the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance, there were nine major sects, earlier there was the Dao Court, and even earlier was the Holy Court. The Master of Heaven and Earth has always been replaced.

Gu An smiled and said, “Anything is possible.”

These words only piqued Shangguan Xian’er’s curiosity further, and she couldn’t stop chatting away, with Shen Zhen occasionally chiming in.

Gu An chatted with them for an hour before leaving.

Today, he had an important affair; he was to meet an old friend from the Immortal Cultivation Realm, who was holding a feast for his million-year birthday.

A million years, in today’s world, is nothing significant, but in a single continent, it would absolutely count as being akin to an Ancestor’s existence.

Gu An wished to go simply to see this old friend off for the last time. Everyone has their ultimate limit of life span, commonly known as Celestial Mandate. Even though this old friend has reached a high realm and seems robust, in reality, he’s nearing his life’s limit.

Gu An had no intention of altering his fate. After all, they were merely drinking buddies with shallow ties. He was just going for the spectacle.

After Gu An left, Shangguan Xian’er sat back beside Shen Zhen, and the two began discussing writing again.

The Book Sage inspired writers all over the world, imbuing Dao Intent into the text to create more meaningful writings.

…

Under the dark celestial vault, the earth stretched infinitely.

Gu An and Hongya Zi passed through a stone gate, standing alone on the earth, devoid of any other constructions within a thousand-mile radius.

Hongya Zi suddenly stopped, turned to look at the stone gate behind him, and with a dazed expression, he couldn’t help but ask, “Have we already escaped from the predicament?”

The moment they stepped through the stone gate, he felt that something invisible had lifted, an eerie, abrupt sensation.

As a Heaven-Opening Daluo Immortal, instinct told him that he had already escaped the endless predicament from before.

Gu An halted, turned to face Hongya Zi, and said, “Fellow Daoist, this journey was quite exhilarating, but it took a bit too long. We should part ways.”

Hongya Zi turned to look at Gu An, his brows furrowing, asking, “Why part ways? Why choose this place?”

After traversing many lands together for so many years, he never expected they’d part ways here. Moreover, over the years, he vaguely sensed that Gu An was not simple.

The two were of the same realm, yet many times he found himself unable to see through Gu An, never having seen Gu An in a wretched state.

But he didn’t understand; they had not yet left the Profound Abyss Divine Pool, only escaped a mysterious plight that had trapped them for many years, and now Gu An was to part ways with him?

Gu An looked at Hongya Zi, a smile on his face, and said, “Isn’t there no such thing as a banquet that never ends?”

Upon hearing this, Hongya Zi couldn’t help but sigh.

Gu An jumped, transformed into a rainbow light, and swiftly disappeared.

Hongya Zi watched Gu An’s departing figure for a long time. When he finally came back to himself and turned again toward the stone gate, the oppressive aura attacked him, causing him to shiver.

He suddenly realized something.

Without Gu An’s company, this journey would likely end in disaster.

Gu An’s avatar jumped out of the Profound Abyss Divine Pool and returned to his true self.

He only recalled the avatar because he grew tired of it, not wanting to continue the antics with Hongya Zi. Besides, after he left, Hongya Zi would return to the Misty Immortal Court to cultivate.

In the future, the Misty Immortal Court would become an important force for Tian Hao.

After obtaining the Celestial Emperor’s inheritance from Emperor Bone Profound Venerable, Tian Hao returned to the Misty Immortal Court with greater ambition, and the Misty Immortal Court would become his first stepping stone to help him soar.

In the myriad heavens of the Dao, each had their own stories unfolding, and an endless web of Cause and Effect intertwined in ways beyond the comprehension of living beings, creating a giant net encompassing every world.

In the blink of an eye.

Twenty million years passed.

This day, in the Mountain Viewing Pavilion, Gu An was playing chess with An Zizai.

The game had just begun.

“Ancestor, that Su Ling is truly remarkable, having become the Alliance Hierarch of the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance, and the Supreme Sect has also risen completely. Do you feel gratified?” An Zizai asked with a smile.

The story of Gu An and the Supreme Sect he had long heard of, and Su Ling’s legendary life couldn’t be separated from the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable’s Heaven-Splitting Axe inheritance. With Su Ling’s Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe sweeping across the land, he became one of the most dazzling figures under the heavens.

Of course, An Zizai knew that the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable was indeed Gu An, hence he had long regarded Su Ling as an ally, purposefully bringing up Su Ling’s recent achievements.

Gu An laughed and said, “At my realm, no matter what you become, no matter how high you rise, it won’t affect my mood.”

An Zizai, hearing the words ‘you’, thought indeed, Su Ling was also a Wushiji Disciple.

As An Zizai placed a piece, he followed with, “In today’s world, there are indeed many notable figures. Unfortunately, whether it’s Su Ling, or Zhuang Xian, or those ancient prodigies of the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance, none can compare to Son of Heaven Jie Yan. This child is said to be on the cusp of reaching the Innate Golden Immortal Realm soon. It’s unimaginable.”

Innate Golden Immortal is a realm countless Great Cultivators dream of, including all of them as Wushiji Disciples.

Yet, how difficult it is to become an Innate Golden Immortal. So far, openly, only one person in the Celestial Spirit Great World has achieved Innate Golden Immortal status.

Gu An placed his piece, the game had just started, with no signs of killing intent, and they played casually.

An Zizai continued to ask, “Son of Heaven Jie Yan plans to visit Wushi. Ancestor, he’s definitely coming for you, will you meet him?”
