If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 1017 The Creation of the Daoist Temple
Chu Jingfeng was filled with mixed feelings. He didn't dare to look at Gu An, nor did he know what to say.

Although he wanted to borrow Gu An's help, he also genuinely wanted to share the opportunity with Gu An in return.

As a result, the opportunity he was so proud of was utterly insignificant in Gu An's eyes...

Looking at Chu Jingfeng and listening to his thoughts, Gu An felt a lot of emotions. He did not look down on Chu Jingfeng because of this. He was able to get to where he was today not because he worked so hard, but simply because he was lucky enough.

"Brother Chu, why don't you stay at my temple for a while?" Gu An said with a smile, pretending not to see Chu Jingfeng's dejected expression.

Even without receiving any special inheritance, staying at the Wushi Dao Temple was enough for Chu Jingfeng to change his fate.

After hearing this, Chu Jingfeng came to his senses and asked hesitantly, "Will this bother you?"

He regretted asking the question as soon as it left his mouth. Even if he stayed, he couldn't possibly trouble Gu An, since this dojo was very large and had many disciples.

The current Gu An is different from when he was in Tai Xuan Sect. He is high and mighty now and is not as low-key as he used to be.

"It won't bother you. As long as I'm at the dojo, you can come find me anytime. It'll be nice for the two of us brothers to chat," Gu An said with a smile. He was sincere, after all, he didn't have anything urgent to attend to usually.

Chu Jingfeng nodded nervously. Then, Gu An talked about some interesting things about Zhongtian. He did most of the talking, while Chu Jingfeng was anxious and absent-minded.

An hour later, the Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower arrived in the courtyard, and Gu An asked her to arrange for Chu Jingfeng to stay.

And so, Chu Jingfeng followed the Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower away. He turned back every three steps, looking at Gu An, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. Gu An smiled at him and watched him leave.

Even if Chu Jingfeng didn't say it, Gu An understood what he wanted to express.

There's no point in offering words of comfort now; once Chu Jingfeng stays longer, his unease will dissipate.

After Chu Jingfeng left, Gu An looked up at the sky and saw a group of powerful beings in the chaos constantly sending various so-called opportunities to the Heavenly Dao, luring the beings of the Heavenly Dao to the chaos.

Chu Jingfeng is just one of them; he is a microcosm of the world. Not only him, but many others are also obsessed with the opportunities of chaos.

Even if someone knows that Chaos is at war with the Heavenly Dao, they will still be tempted by this opportunity. After all, for most cultivators, the survival of the Heavenly Dao is not that important; what matters is their own cultivation and attainment.

Gu An watched for a while before getting up and going back to his room.

Several months later, he called Wu Xie and took him to fight.

Lu Lingjun's Heavenly Army is always fighting. As the most elite Heavenly Army in the Heavenly Court, they rarely stop. Although this is very tiring, their Heavenly Fortune increases extremely quickly.

Currently, Lu Lingjun's cultivation level hasn't increased much, but once the calamity passes, the Heavenly Dao's fortune will reward her, allowing her cultivation to soar.

At least, Gu An has already seen signs that she will become a Great Immortal in the future.

It must be said that Lu Lingjun is quite remarkable. Although Gu An secretly helps her, his help to her is far less than that to his own disciples, and her potential has already surpassed that of most of his disciples.

This was Wu Xie's second time participating in the Chaos War. He was no longer as excited as before and became more composed. Of course, his fighting spirit was not dampened, but he knew his limits and felt the power of the Chaos Demons.

Time continues to pass.

After moving into the Wushi Dojo, Chu Jingfeng's mindset also changed, and he gradually understood Shen Zhen's meaning.

This place is magical; it may seem like an ordinary mountain forest, but it contains extraordinary mysteries.

Living here, it's easy to calm one's mind, and his daily cultivation always generates all sorts of ingenious ideas, allowing him to enter a state of enlightenment at will.

He finally understood why Gu An had asked him to stay; it wasn't just politeness, but a way of offering him guidance. This made him very grateful to Gu An. Gu An was always like this, taking care of him while preserving his dignity.

He decided to cherish this time and repay Gu An in the future.

Having spent a long time at the Wushi Dao Temple, he gained a deeper understanding of Gu An. When he heard that the Heavenly Star Lord had descended to the mortal realm and invited Gu An to become an immortal three times, he was not surprised, but rather felt it was only natural.

In his opinion, the celestial beings and gods of Heaven might not be as powerful as Gu An.

……

Heaven, North Gate.

Xuanqing Xingjun descended from the sky, followed by six people, both men and women, whose aura was extraordinary.

Among them was Zhu Xi, who was once the master of the Holy Court of the Heavenly Spirit Great World.

In the past, she served as the ruler of the Great World and accumulated great merits. Now she has been bestowed the title of Immortal of Merit.

Zhu Xi was dressed in flowing white robes, her long hair piled high, exuding an ethereal aura. The presence of the five meritorious immortals beside her could not overshadow her.

She was curiously observing the celestial realm when her gaze swept across the boundless sea of ​​clouds, the vibrant celestial energy filling her with anticipation for the life to come.

This wasn't her first time becoming an immortal, but it was her first time coming to the celestial realm.

Xuanqing Xingjun turned to the six meritorious immortals and said, "The situation in the Heavenly Court is tense right now, and you are temporarily unable to enter the Lingxiao Palace to see His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor. I need you to immediately join the war to protect the Heavenly Dao. I wonder if you are willing?"

The six meritorious immortals agreed without hesitation. They had already become immortals and possessed the fortune of immortality, so what did they have to fear?
Moreover, they are eager to prove themselves and demonstrate their abilities.

Seeing that they agreed, Xuanqing Xingjun looked satisfied and said, "I feel really bad that you all have to go to such dangers so soon after becoming immortals. I will take you to select a divine steed to help you. Please come with me."

After saying this, he turned and left, and the six meritorious immortals quickly followed.

To this day, every meritorious immortal is still personally selected by Xuanqing Xingjun. He treats each meritorious immortal as both a teacher and a friend, and sincerely hopes that they can adapt to the Heavenly Court and not suffer setbacks.

The immortals also trusted him greatly.

Zhu Xi looked at Xuanqing Xingjun's back and felt quite emotional.

The Xuanqing Star Lord in the mortal realm is quite different from the one now. After arriving in the Heavenly Court, the Xuanqing Star Lord's aura is fully unleashed.

She found it amusing to think back to how Xuanqing Xingjun had relentlessly pursued her, wanting to follow her.

I used to think that Xuanqing Xingjun was greedy for fame and fortune, but later I realized that he wanted to observe her.

The two spent many years together, and it was only after Zhu Xi experienced a great calamity that Xuanqing Xingjun recruited her to become an immortal.

During that catastrophe, Zhu Xi saved many lives, which is what moved Xuanqing Xingjun.

Zhu Xi also had a good impression of Xuanqing Xingjun's philosophy of selecting immortals and gods, which changed her impression of the Heavenly Court.

"The divine steeds live in the Cloud Realm. We will have to report to the Heavenly Official of the Divine Steeds. By the way, the Heavenly Lord of Merit Suppressing Gods, who is in charge of all the Heavenly Officials of the Divine Steeds, is also a Merit Immortal. I went to great lengths to invite him back then."

Xuanqing Xingjun walked ahead, introducing the divine steed. When he mentioned Gongde Zhenshen Tianjun, his tone was full of pride.
