Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses - Chapter 840: 832: Great Destiny Descends

Chapter 840: Chapter 832: Great Destiny Descends

Facing Ji Yan’s words, Li Xuandao remained indifferent. He raised his right hand, his gaze examining the three jade rings on his hand, and softly replied, “Without you, Son of Heaven, would the Human World find no Immortal Fate, would mortals not yearn to Ascend to Immortality?”

Although his voice was soft, it echoed clearly within the great hall.

Son of Heaven Ji Yan answered, “I can make you and your people closer to Immortal Fate.”

“How many imperial dynasties are there in the world? How many do you intend to win over?”

“All of them.”

“If it’s all of them, even if you succeed, how can I be sure you will choose me?”

“The Tai Cang Dynasty is already the oldest imperial dynasty in the world. Your lack of contention has led people to overlook the foundation of the Tai Cang Dynasty, and what’s more, you have the care of Ancestor Master Wushi.”

“Then may I ask if the Celestial Court has an Emperor Immortal Position?”

Li Xuandao smiled as he spoke these words.

Son of Heaven Ji Yan’s expression became subtle, his gaze somewhat cold, and he replied, “Naturally, apart from the supreme Celestial Emperor, there are the Four Celestial Dao Great Emperors, and further down, thirty-six Emperor Stars, all positions for which rulers with accomplishments may compete.”

“So many emperors. Why does it feel like they are merely titles?”

Li Xuandao squinted his eyes, his tone growing aggressive. He leaned forward and said, “Son of Heaven, I’ve long heard tales like yours. I’ve seen and heard of many who wish to use the world as their chessboard. In the end, none met a good fate. If you truly represent the Heavenly Dao, you wouldn’t bring about a great calamity in the Human World. If the Celestial Emperor truly wanted you to be the Supreme in every life, I suspect it would not be by stepping upon countless bones to ascend to the supreme position.”

Son of Heaven Ji Yan raised an eyebrow and sneered, “What? Does His Majesty think that unifying the world relies on benevolence and love?”

“I merely think that the means and levels of the Immortal should be above mortals. The means you’ve shown make me feel no different from mortals. Pardon me, but I cannot agree.”

After speaking, Li Xuandao kept his gaze fixed on Son of Heaven Ji Yan.

Their eyes met, confronting each other, and the atmosphere in the hall grew tense, filled with quiet oppression.

For a long time.

Son of Heaven Ji Yan withdrew his gaze and smiled, “Since that’s the case, then I’ll take my leave.”

He turned and left; in the moment of turning, his expression became exceptionally cold.

Li Xuandao sat on the Emperor’s Throne, watching him depart.

Once Son of Heaven Ji Yan left the great hall, Li Xuandao’s face showed a contemptuous smile and he snorted, “The Immortal Gods don’t have a more comfortable position than mine, and moreover…”

His gaze looking upwards, seeming to pierce through the palace eaves to see the firmament.

“I have no desire to become one of the Immortal Gods. But if it’s to be Celestial Emperor, I am quite interested.”

…

“Thinking of being Celestial Emperor, you must be ignorant of the heights of the heavens and depths of the earth.”

By the lakeside, Gu An glanced at Su Han, who was fishing, and mocked.

It has been hundreds of years since Su Han and Zhen Qin came to the Daoist Field of the Beginningless. The master and disciple have settled there, and ever since Gu An pointed out Su Han’s Swordsmanship, Su Han often sought his guidance, and gradually, Su Han began to cultivate alongside Gu An. This has led to much discussion among the disciples.

No one dared to imitate Su Han. Although Su Han was thick-skinned, it was evident to all that this was the Ancestor’s favoritism towards him.

What’s more, upon entry, Su Han was already a Third Generation Disciple, his seniority surpassing ninety percent of the disciples of the Beginningless.

Su Han sat beside Gu An, holding a sword, and huffed, “Why am I ignorant of the heights and depths? Is the Celestial Emperor born to be Celestial Emperor? Certainly, he cultivated to that position. As long as I become strong enough, I can achieve it sooner or later. Then I’ll make the Beginningless Holy Sect, supervise the Heavenly Court Immortals. The current Immortals are truly unrestrained, lacking control. That Son of Heaven abducted many imperial rulers, coercing their dynasties into battles for him. His hypocritical mask is eventually torn by himself.”

Gu An gazed at the lake surface and said, “You have only seen a few Immortal Gods, yet you dare speculate about the Celestial Emperor. Most Immortal Gods never see the Celestial Emperor in their lifetime. The Celestial Emperor’s might is beyond your imagination. You cannot imagine it, let alone surpass it.”

These words are true. All beings relying on the Celestial Dao Destiny can never surpass the Celestial Emperor. Their cultivation would only help the Celestial Emperor grow stronger.

Gu An possesses the strength to rival the Celestial Emperor primarily by harnessing the power of Life Span evolution. To this day, he is certain that his power originates outside the Heavenly Dao, perhaps existing longer than the Heavenly Dao itself.

If one cannot possess opportunities outside the Heavenly Dao like him, one should not dream of surpassing the Celestial Emperor.

Just like how the Primordial Dao Emperor cannot surpass him.

“Ancestor, have you ever seen the Celestial Emperor?” Su Han curiously asked, looking at Gu An expectantly.

In the myths of the Celestial Spirit Great World, Ancestor Master Wushi’s status is in no way inferior to the Celestial Emperor, perhaps even higher because he has saved the heavens and earth numerous times, even defending against unjust Immortal Gods for all beings.

“Never seen him. I’ve never even been to the Celestial Court,” Gu An casually replied.

“Then why don’t you want to become Immortal?”

“What is the purpose of Ascending to Immortality?”

“Naturally, for Longevity and immortality.”

“I already have Longevity and immortality, why need to become Immortal?”

“Then to become stronger?”

“Even as I speak with you now, my Cultivation Level increases. You cling to me; your Cultivation Level stagnates, but mine does not. Do you know how I achieve this?”

“How do you achieve this?”

Su Han was stupefied. He thought the Ancestor’s words were too extravagant.

Constantly growing stronger?

If true, no wonder no one can catch up to him.

Gu An answered, “When you reach a certain Realm, you will naturally achieve this, but until then, you need to endure very long years, long enough for the Celestial Spirit Great World to perish, and you must persevere.”

Su Han followed his words, only feeling a chill in his heart.

Though he was a Cultivator, he seemed insignificant in the face of time. He did not know how to cultivate to live longer than the Celestial Spirit Great World.

At this moment, a brilliant light erupted from the sky, causing heaven and earth to pale. Su Han instinctively looked up, but saw nothing.

This burst of bright light appeared suddenly and faded quickly.

Su Han regained his vision and looked intently, his complexion slightly changing, only to see countless Fire Phoenixes appearing on the horizon, as if coming from Outer Heaven, flying towards the distant land. There are dozens, incredibly magnificent.

“What is that?”

Su Han couldn’t help asking, he had never seen so many Phoenixes before.

After the Celestial Spirit Great World reshaped, many Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, including Phoenixes, Qilins, True Dragons, were born. But he felt the Phoenixes at the horizon were not simple, evidently hailing from Outer Heaven.

Gu An looked up and smiled, “Who said there are no rules watching the Immortal Gods? See, trouble is coming for that Son of Heaven.”

“Trouble is coming? Is it Immortal Gods descending?” Su Han curiously asked.

“No, it is someone bearing Heaven and Earth’s grand Destiny about to be born. He will be the most brilliant figure in the world and surely ascend to the pinnacle of the Human World, sweeping away all powerful foes,” Gu An laughed.

His words sparked many associations for Su Han.

He wanted to ask.

How does his aptitude compare to the one soon to be born?
