Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses - Chapter 850 842: Challenge Wushi

Gu An and the Unbeaten Emperor Ancestor rode the clouds forward, admiring the scenery along the way. The Unbeaten Emperor Ancestor praised everything about the Nine Spirit Continent.

“What if the person you choose is completely inclined towards the Celestial Court?” Gu An suddenly asked.

The Unbeaten Emperor Ancestor replied without hesitation, “Impossible, I would never choose such descendants.”

Walking from the inn to this place, he had already constructed a series of plans in his mind.

After reclaiming his position as the Heavenly Court Star Lord, his next target was the Celestial Court!

He feared the power of the Heavenly Court Immortals, craved the Heavenly Court Immortals’ authority, but would never forget his hatred.

His wife and child died at the hands of the Heavenly Court Immortals, and until now, he hasn’t been able to avenge them. In the long years that passed, he almost gave up. Facing the unshakable Celestial Court, he had not a single chance for revenge, especially as the Undefeated Emperor Clan passed down through generations, he dared not make a move against the Heavenly Court Immortals.

Back then, he submitted to Gu An not just because he resented the Celestial Court but because living on was the only way to protect his family.

Now, Gu An offered him a chance as Star Monarch; he not only saw hope for the Clan’s prosperity but also the possibility of vengeance.

Countless years have passed, and that Celestial God must have climbed to an even higher Immortal Position. He wished to investigate from outside—it was almost impossible. If an associate could infiltrate the Celestial Court, it would be much easier.

The Undefeated Emperor Clan cannot seek vengeance against the Immortals, but there must be strife among the Immortals themselves.

The seed of hatred sprouted once more in the Unbeaten Emperor Ancestor’s heart, and this time, it was not just anger, but unprecedented excitement.

A hatred suppressed for countless years.

Besides, he saw more.

That was the relationship between Gu An and the Celestial Court.

Tens of millions of years ago, Gu An clearly had an unknown conflict with the Celestial Court, but now, Gu An could intervene in the Immortal Position, leading to many associations regarding Gu An’s true identity.

Gu An could perceive the psychological activities of the Unbeaten Emperor Ancestor but did not point them out, only sighing inwardly.

Even though the Unbeaten Emperor Ancestor possessed the Immortal Emperor’s Eye, he could not see through the terrifying nature of the Heavenly Dao.

The human heart is fragile in the face of the Heavenly Dao.

After that, Gu An spoke no more, shifting the topic to the cities along the way.

Gu An had his own considerations in wanting the Undefeated Emperor Clan members to ascend to immortality because he saw that the Clan would give birth to a second pair of Immortal Emperor’s Eyes.

Why the Immortal Emperor’s Eyes were dreaded by the Celestial Court, Gu An still couldn’t discern, because the cause and effect of the Immortal Emperor’s Eyes had been severed, leaving no trace within the Celestial Court.

…

Eight million years later, the Human World acquired a new visage, the Son of Heaven and Earth, Guan Tianyu, of the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance, fully matured. Although a Profound Yuan Free Immortal, he could challenge a Luotian Free Immortal without defeat, shaking the universe.

The name Guan Tianyu spread throughout the land, even Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators discussing his might. In the eyes of the world, Guan Tianyu was already number one.

However, the good times did not last long, as the Celestial Spirit Great World received an unexpected guest.

It was none other than Emperor Xuan, who combined the Daoist Emperor and Primordial Dao Emperor titles, arriving through the World Gate, with the Celestial Spirit God not obstructing him.

If he infiltrated the Celestial Spirit Great World, he would be captured and exterminated by the Celestial Spirit God.

Emperor Xuan called out to the entire Celestial Spirit Great World, attracting all the Great Cultivators to battle in Outer Heaven. The Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance, as the heavenly sovereign, naturally led but, unfortunately, news of consecutive defeats reached within the universe, causing all living beings great unease.

If such a formidable existence was to invade the Celestial Spirit Great World, it would spell an apocalypse?

In the summer of this year.

At the foot of the Heavenly Suppressing Heroic Peak,

The Son of Heaven Jie Yan was meditating and cultivating, a skeleton still by his side, just it became more natural than before, showing no signs of having been shattered, and was identical in posture to him.

Now the Human World no longer paid attention to him, including the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance, which, ever since Guan Tianyu matured, completely ceased to surveil him.

Boom——

A deafening roar came from the sky. The Son of Heaven Jie Yan looked up to see a golden rainbow light appeared in the celestial vault, akin to a dandelion in bloom, followed by a meteor wrapped in fiery flames streaking across the celestial vault, falling beyond the horizon.

“Master, what’s happening in Outer Heaven, why doesn’t it settle down?”

A voice came from beside him: the talking skeleton, its voice identical to the cloth-clad youth back then.

The Son of Heaven Jie Yan replied, “It’s just people in combat, don’t worry, the heavens won’t collapse.”

“Is it that self-proclaimed Emperor Xuan fighting?”

“Yes.”

“It’s been so long, he hasn’t been defeated yet? Master, will it be your turn to fight one day? You are the Son of Heaven, you must be the strongest in the world.”

“If I was the strongest, I wouldn’t be suppressed here. That Emperor Xuan is indeed powerful. I can’t defeat him, at most remain undefeated.”

The Son of Heaven Jie Yan’s response made the skeleton lift its head, seemingly surprised by this answer.

Afterwards, the Son of Heaven Jie Yan closed his eyes again and said, “Alright, work hard in cultivation, and transform early. I’ll take you to see the Human World and help address your regrets.”

The skeleton murmured, “I’ve died countless years ago, further regrets hold no meaning.”

The Son of Heaven Jie Yan did not respond, continuing with his cultivation.

The battle outside continued. The Celestial Spirit Great World did not besiege Emperor Xuan, since Emperor Xuan sparred without taking his opponents’ lives, preventing the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance from acting recklessly.

Yet as one renowned Great Cultivator after another was defeated, the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance grew anxious—would they truly let an outsider sweep the Celestial Spirit Great World?

They had to call upon Guan Tianyu to take action.

Guan Tianyu was indeed strong, giving Emperor Xuan significant trouble; he was the longest-lasting opponent in this realm. Unfortunately, he ultimately succumbed.

The Luotian Free Immortals of the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance could no longer hold back and went into battle.

The news of Guan Tianyu’s defeat spread to the Human World, causing an uproar.

The campaigns of Emperor Xuan were unending. Within years, he claimed a thousand victories, showcasing an unmatched victory stance.

In the dim cosmos.

Emperor Xuan stood proudly in the void, donning a silver battle armor, with two long sashes swirling about his waist and back. Behind the menacing helmet were two golden crescent moons hovering. His face was handsome, his gaze cold and indifferent, an inseparable air of arrogance exuding.

With furrowed eyebrows, he scanned the surroundings, seeing all cultivators and Great Demons baring their teeth at him, their eyes filled with dread.

“Is there no stronger presence in the Celestial Spirit Great World?”

Emperor Xuan shouted loudly, his voice like thunder, echoing endlessly, resounding in the ears of all Celestial Spirit beings.

Ji Xiaoyu stood amidst the sea of Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance people, quietly watching Emperor Xuan. As an Innate Golden Immortal, she did not intend to fight.

She could see that although Emperor Xuan was arrogant, he was not a great evil person. She did not wish to reveal her true power for the sake of such an individual.

“Why not? If you really think you’re strong, go challenge Wushi! The true powerful entities of the Celestial Spirit Great World are hidden within the Beginningless!”

A middle-aged cultivator couldn’t help himself, shouting angrily. Upon hearing this, the Alliance Hierarchs of the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance all frowned, but many more living beings echoed his sentiment, using Wushi to provoke Emperor Xuan.
