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

Chapter 908: Chapter 900 The Future Immortal

Cixuan Old Immortal heard Xuanyuan Human Venerable’s words and couldn’t help but nod. He comforted, “The Ancestor is merely departing, and there will certainly be a day of reunion. Only by staying alive, can your highness see him again.”

Xuanyuan Human Venerable showed a smile on his face, reflecting, “Indeed, only by living on, there are countless hopes.”

“Your Highness, today the Emperor conferred the positions of forty-nine Immortal Monarchs for Central Heaven. This is a strong signal. The rise of Emperor Taihao is unstoppable. Do you need me to congratulate him on your behalf?”

Cixuan Old Immortal regained his composure and asked seriously.

The Dark Heavenly Court was severely damaged and will not return for a long time in the future. Now, their attention has to return to the Celestial Court internally.

To the Immortal Gods, having no desires or needs poses no danger. However, many Immortal Gods who serve the Son of Heaven have desires, and once entangled in the struggle for the Son of Heaven, it is hard to extricate oneself. Even the Sons of Heaven are such, as no Son of Heaven is absolutely secure. Even if one does not want to fight, it may be beyond one’s control.

Xuanyuan Human Venerable frowned and snorted coldly, “What Taihao, he’s actually named after my father’s mundane name. It’s favoritism indeed. How many years has he been the Son of Heaven?”

He had seen many Sons of Heaven favored by his father, he himself had received such favor, but he had never seen one as favored as Emperor Taihao.

The Celestial Emperor gave the name to Emperor Taihao and created a Heavenly Dao Center for him. Now, he is openly establishing Immortal Positions for him. How can Xuanyuan Human Venerable, also a Son of Heaven, not be jealous?

Cixuan Old Immortal sighed and said, “From the moment he received the name Taihao, we should have understood that. Perhaps this is also the reason the Supreme forced the Emperor’s hand.”

Xuanyuan Human Venerable fell silent.

Cixuan Old Immortal also said no more. They all needed to think carefully about how to act in the future.

Xuanyuan Human Venerable recalled the only time he saw Emperor Taihao, back then, Emperor Taihao was still a child, so naive. He never expected that the child at that time could surpass all Sons of Heaven and reach for that supreme power which no one dared touch.

The Celestial Emperor!

There are more and more rumors within the Celestial Court now, saying that the Celestial Emperor wants to abdicate!

Xuanyuan Human Venerable thought of this and felt an overwhelming pressure, his pride crumbling.

Perhaps he truly should make amends with Emperor Taihao?

This thought once emerged, grew wildly like weeds, making it impossible for him to dispel.

…

The internal struggles of the Celestial Court and the surges of the Celestial Spirit Great World did not catch Gu An’s attention because he had already foreseen the results of these matters.

Time flew by.

It had been millions of years, and millions of years later, the Celestial Spirit Great World erupted in conflict, with numerous sects and imperial dynasties besieging the Heavenly Spirit Dao Alliance. Fortunately, the presence of Immortal Gods prevented disaster from reaching the lower levels of the Human World.

The current Central Heaven has already birthed many living beings, most of whom are in the state of demons, not humans. At this stage, the beings of Central Heaven have no concept of race, almost all fighting for survival.

This year, early summer.

In the forest, a flaming red crow flew swiftly, startling a cascade of falling leaves.

It flew to the edge of the woods and landed on a tree trunk, tilting its head to look ahead. Outside the forest was a large lake, and by the lake, three people were fishing—Gu An, Xiao Lan, and An Xin.

This place was outside the dojo, not far from it. Rarely invited by Gu An for an outing, Xiao Lan and An Xin were both delighted.

During the fishing process, the two women talked about the past, chatting about their days in the Supreme Sect.

For Xiao Lan, that was already several lifetimes ago. An Xin also felt it was distant, sometimes like a dream.

Gu An put down his fishing rod and raised his right hand, with a fruit appearing in his palm, exuding a rich floral fragrance.

The flaming red crow hesitated for a moment, then flew like an arrow, quickly snatching the fruit from his hand.

Xiao Lan and An Xin looked up, both a bit surprised.

“Why is this bird’s aura so weak?” Xiao Lan asked curiously.

In Central Heaven, all living beings capable of moving are born with the creation of heaven and earth, containing terrifying power from the moment they have consciousness. Their movements are earth-shattering, yet this flaming red crow, though quick, is too weak compared to those beings, as if it came from the Celestial Spirit Great World.

An Xin activated the Immortal Emperor’s Eye, carefully observing the flaming red crow, and exclaimed, “This bird can actually conceal its cultivation level and aura.”

Xiao Lan couldn’t help but glance at her, looking at her purple pupils, feeling secretly amazed. What kind of eyes are these?

The Wushiji Disciples, although all trained by Gu An, received different inheritances. She couldn’t bring herself to ask An Xin about her secret skill, just like she wouldn’t reveal all her Daoist techniques to others.

Gu An smiled and waved toward the flaming red crow circling over the lake, but unfortunately, the bird was unmoved, maintaining a safe distance.

“Master, what realm is it?” An Xin turned to look at Gu An, curiously asking.

She could only sense the strong power hidden within the flaming red crow, not its specific cultivation level.

Gu An responded, “It has reached the pinnacle of the Innate Golden Immortal Realm; given time, it will break through sooner or later.”

Upon this remark, the two women were both surprised.

Even to this day, among the Wushiji Disciples, the highest cultivation level is only Innate Golden Immortal, yet this bird’s cultivation level is higher than theirs?

An Xin further asked, “Will it become a Great Fortune Seeker in Central Heaven and play a very important role?”

Gu An smiled and said, “Indeed, it will establish the Demon Race and become the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Beasts, also introducing the concept of race to all beings. Long after, it will even ascend to immortality.”

Will ascend to immortality!

The two women once again looked at the flaming red crow, their feelings completely different.

This feeling was strange, even indescribable.

“If that’s the case, will its encounter with us cause trouble?” Xiao Lan frowned and asked.

Gu An laughed, “Rest assured, once it leaves here, it will forget us. Its cultivation level is not sufficient to remember my cause and effect.”

This cultivation level?

The two were stunned by the boldness in his words; upon reflection, it seemed normal.

Gu An dared to come to the Heavenly Dao Center, and so far, no Immortal Gods have discovered him. His cultivation level must far exceed most Immortal Gods.

Then, Gu An took out another fruit and placed it on a large stone in front of him, waiting for the flaming red crow to fly over.

After a while, the bird couldn’t resist its instincts and flew over. This time, although its claws grasped the fruit, it couldn’t lift it, making it very anxious.

Gu An raised his hand, pressing down on its head, calming it instantly, no longer struggling.

After he released it, the flaming red crow looked up at them, tilting its head, its eyes clear as jewels.

Its size was like a chicken, slender and small in stature, yet overall very majestic, inspiring affection from the two women.

Xiao Lan gazed at it and asked, “Senior Brother, you surely know its future, won’t you tell us about it?”

Gu An smiled slightly and said, “Its story is quite fascinating, and it’s not something that can be shared quickly—it might take until tomorrow to finish.”
