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

Chapter 870: Chapter 862 True Dragon’s Great Achievement

Hearing the words of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor furrowed his brows, anger igniting in his eyes. He slowly stood up, his terrifying aura causing the sea of clouds to begin to sink, and the ancient tree behind him to quiver violently.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor showed no fear, staring directly at the Heavenly Emperor.

“Do you think I acquired this great power by kneeling, like a dog, begging him?”

The Heavenly Emperor asked coldly, his tone full of sarcasm, a stark contrast to his previous demeanor.

At these words, the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor also furrowed her brows. She had always been curious about how the Heavenly Emperor obtained such power. Although his contributions in the war with the Dark Heavenly Court were significant, they weren’t unprecedented. It wasn’t just her; many Immortal Gods privately discussed this matter. Unfortunately, no Immortal knew the truth.

As the Heavenly Emperor’s aura erupted, golden flames gradually appeared around him, transforming into a True Dragon. This was an incredibly massive Golden Dragon, capable of swallowing the sun, moon, and stars. The ancient tree was smaller than a dragon scale in its presence.

Looking at this dragon, the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor’s expression finally changed. She gazed up at the Golden Dragon in disbelief.

“Nine Heavens True Dragon Qi… attained… how is it possible…”

The Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor murmured, her voice trembling.

The Heavenly Emperor slightly raised his chin and said, “Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor, although we share a common sect, I have lived far more years than you can imagine. You and I are merely a cause and effect of one lifetime. The power of the Heavenly Court is rightfully mine. I can control everything. You don’t understand how the heavens appear in my eyes. The Dark Heavenly Court, the Underworld, they’re just my prey.”

“Return. Do not leave the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens until this strife is over, or I will personally destroy the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens.”

By the end of his words, the Heavenly Emperor’s tone became exceedingly forceful.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor was about to speak when the enormous Golden Dragon suddenly roared at her, the dragon’s roar deafening.

The terrifying pressure surged toward the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor, pressing her down through the sea of clouds, falling into the darkness. She looked at the lofty Heavenly Emperor, her eyes filled with fear and confusion.

The Heavenly Emperor stood upon the sea of clouds, gazing down as she disappeared into the darkness below. When the sea of clouds re-formed, the Golden Dragon behind him dissipated, and his aura followed in withdrawal, his white hair slowly settling down.

“Hmph!”

The Heavenly Emperor snorted coldly, clearly extremely displeased with the attitude of the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor.

He raised his right hand, small points of silver light emerged from his palm, countless in number. On a closer look, these silver lights were reflections of various worlds, one piece of silver light near the edge gradually darkening.

“Dark Heavenly Court, I must see who supports you from behind.”

The Heavenly Emperor murmured to himself, his tone filled with disdain.

His gaze suddenly focused on a point of silver light, his pupils reflecting a silhouette, causing him to raise an eyebrow.

“Oh? This variable is…”

…

At dusk, in the Daoist Field of the Beginningless.

On the mountaintop, Gu An meditated at the edge of the cliff, standing against the wind.

He slowly opened his eyes. He had just performed a life span projection, requiring a hundred million years of life span, far exceeding the amount before the upgrade. However, the insights he gained from the Great Dao also surpassed those from before.

He didn’t know the experiences of the projected self, but the insights gained benefited him greatly.

He looked up at the Three Thousand Great Worlds, detecting signs of survival from a portion of the projected selves. More of the projected selves were in the past and the future, all elusive without any causal connections, unless the realm reached the same height as his. Otherwise, it’s hard to notice them.

“Still not working. Could it be that taking the path of the Three Thousand Great Dao is wrong? The way of the Saints is the ultimate of one Dao. To break through the limit, should I cultivate other Daos?”

Gu An pondered, although he still could not find the signs of becoming a Saint, such insights did enhance his Dao Intent.

He never rushed to become a Saint. Even if he ultimately failed to comprehend, he could forcefully break through using life span evolution.

However, during the years of accumulation, he preferred to strive on his own.

Sometimes, without striving a bit, one doesn’t know the benefits of giving up.

Gu An humorously remarked to himself, he did not stand up, just sat at the edge of the cliff.

As night descended, the night sky of the Celestial Spirit Great World was resplendent with stars, a galaxy hanging upside down, so beautiful. All living beings looked up, thinking that beyond the heavens was a more vast, magnificent scene. Yet, in reality, most of the universe beyond was shrouded in darkness, devoid of light.

Moon sets, sun rises.

A new day came. Gu An stood up, preparing to stroll inside the dojo, rest for a few days before leading An Xin to other Great Worlds.

…

Time flowed endlessly, whether the beings were in suffering or in peace, all couldn’t stop the passing of time.

The Immortals and Gods were still sweeping through the Three Thousand Great Worlds. The Celestial Dao Light Layer of the Three Thousand Great Worlds slowly weakened, symbolizing the hearts of all living beings drifting away from the Celestial Court. Yet, the Heavenly Court Immortals seemed indifferent.

Walking on the wasteland, Li Ya gazed at the three blazing suns at the horizon, lamenting the cruelty of the Celestial Court.

Behind him followed tens of thousands of disciples, all of whom were saved and willing to follow him.

Li Ya would teach them methods of cultivating immortality, lead them to save more people. If anyone wished to leave him, he wouldn’t stop them. Fortunately, since he started this, no disciple was willing to leave him.

Although Li Ya hadn’t yet found his path, the cohesion of the disciples along the journey provided him with deep insights.

Perhaps, if he continued this path, he would eventually discover what he sought.

A man in a green robe approached, coming to Li Ya’s side, frowning as he asked, “Master, are we really going to challenge those three Golden Crows? It’s said that the Golden Crows are Divine Beasts of the Heavenly Court. Could there be Immortals behind them?”

Li Ya’s expression remained calm as he softly replied, “Rest assured, the Immortal Gods have long left this realm. These Golden Crows carry no destiny of the Heavenly Court.”

With his current cultivation level, he could discern who was a Heavenly Court Immortal. The three Golden Crows dwelling in the scorching suns didn’t belong to the Heavenly Court. They carried a chill that made him uncomfortable.

Even as they burned with fearful flames, he felt cold.

Li Ya felt that this catastrophe in the Three Thousand Great Worlds concealed even greater secrets. Perhaps it wasn’t just the Immortal Gods ravaging the Human World; other existences might be involved.

Hearing Li Ya’s answer, the man in the green robe breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they didn’t face the Immortal Gods, there was still hope.

He continued to ask, “Master, do you have confidence in dealing with them?”

Li Ya’s lips curled into a smile as he said, “Disciple, when has your master ever lacked confidence? Perhaps I cannot stop the Heavenly Court, but destroying these beasts is certainly not difficult.”

As he spoke, he exhibited immense self-confidence, his spirit soaring, causing the man in the green robe to look upon him with admiration.

From behind, the disciples also heard Li Ya’s words, and the way they looked at Li Ya was filled with fervor.
