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

Chapter 704 Ascension to Immortality, Tremendous Changes in Heaven and Earth

It was early autumn, and inside the Holy King's Palace, Yang Jian was sitting in the courtyard, enjoying tea and admiring the scenery.

He wore a loose embroidered robe and had a kind expression, making it hard to believe that he was once a great general who had made great achievements in the Taicang Dynasty.

"I never expected you to be so leisurely these days. Don't you have any higher aspirations in life?"

A woman's voice rang out in the garden, startling Yang Jian, who turned his head to look. He saw An Xin walk in through the archway of the courtyard, followed by Shen Zhen, and behind Shen Zhen was another person.

When Yang Jian saw the last person clearly, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately stood up and knelt on the ground.

"Disciple Yang Jian greets Master."

Gu An walked at the very back. When he heard Yang Jian's words, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at the garden.

The structure and scenery of this garden are exactly the same as a garden in the Third Medicine Valley back then, it seems that Yang Jian really misses the past.

Anxin approached Yang Jian and said irritably, "You still know you have a master? All these years, why haven't you come to visit him? Don't say you can't find him; if you're so determined, a million years wouldn't be enough for you to search."

Yang Jian looked up and said helplessly, "Although I have already gone into seclusion, I cannot leave the Taicang Dynasty. The dynasty has stood for so long, but it has enemies all over the world. I am truly powerless to do anything about it."

Anxin snorted and didn't say anything more, but walked to the side.

As Yang Jian watched Gu An approach, his face showed excitement. For millions of years, he had often fantasized about meeting Gu An. Now that the day had come, the thousands of words in his heart suddenly got stuck in his throat, and he could not say them.

"Get up, let's sit down and talk."

Gu An smiled, and his smile relieved Yang Jian.

Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, Gu An had always kept an eye on Yang Jian. He never blamed Yang Jian for not coming to see him; after all, the world was vast and hard to ignore. As long as Yang Jian still had him in his heart, he was content.

After all, Yang Jian was someone he had watched grow up, and was once his most beloved disciple.

Time has passed, and Yang Jian is no longer his strongest disciple, but Gu An doesn't only look at strength when choosing a disciple.

He cultivated disciples purely out of interest, without any intention of relying on them.

Yang Jian quickly stood up and then invited Shen Zhen to sit down as well.

After the four sat down, Gu An began to ask Yang Jian about his experiences over the years. Yang Jian talked on and on, and Shen Zhen and An Xin listened attentively.

An hour later.

Gu Anfang then explained his purpose, stating that he would explain both the advantages and disadvantages of becoming an immortal god, and even revealing An Hao's background.

Upon hearing that An Hao was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor's son, Yang Jian was shocked but also felt that it made sense. Even though the world was being reshaped and the cultivation speed of human geniuses was becoming more and more exaggerated, An Hao had the greatest impact on him. If such a genius was the son of the Heavenly Emperor, then it made sense.

"I am willing!"

Faced with Gu An's gaze, Yang Jian readily agreed.

Gu An smiled and said, "No rush, you can think about it more. There won't be a chance to regret it later."

Yang Jian said earnestly, "Becoming an immortal means losing freedom, but such an opportunity is something that mortals can't even dream of. How can I let down Master's good intentions? Besides, you said it involves Senior Brother An Hao. I am willing to enter the Heavenly Court in your stead to help Senior Brother An Hao and become Master's eyes and ears in the Heavenly Court."

Having once held power in the Holy Court and held a high position in the Taicang Dynasty, he knew what he should do after understanding the ins and outs of this matter.

He had no worries about becoming his master's pawn; in fact, he was quite looking forward to it.

Moreover, he believed that his master would not let him down.

Having spent so many years in the Taicang Dynasty, he was tired of the struggles between mortal dynasties. He felt incredibly excited about going to the Heavenly Court to participate in the struggle for the throne, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.

Gu An's lips curled up. Since Yang Jian had already made his point, he naturally didn't need to be coy anymore. He directly took out the Heavenly Court's Decree of Responding to Heaven and placed it on the table. "Once you are ready, you only need to probe this token with your divine sense, and the Heavenly Dao will summon you to the Heavenly Court. When you go is up to you."

After saying that, Gu An stood up, turned around and left.

An Xin and Shen Zhen followed closely behind.

Yang Jian immediately stood up, bowed to Gu An's retreating figure, and respectfully saw him off.

Gu An, along with An Xin and Shen Zhen, vanished into thin air within the garden, and only then did Yang Jian turn his attention to the Heavenly Decree.

the other side.

Gu An and his two companions arrived at a street in the imperial city. He planned to spend two days sightseeing before returning home.

"Guess when he'll go to Heaven?" Shen Zhen asked with a smile.

Just as An Xin was about to speak, a deafening roar suddenly resounded from afar, and a vast heavenly might enveloped the entire world, causing everyone passing by on the street to turn their heads to look. They saw a white pillar of light appear at the edge of the world to the east of the imperial city, shooting straight into the sky, which was quite spectacular.

Shen Zhen was stunned. She sensed a powerful aura of heavenly destiny and immediately guessed that it was Yang Jian.

She hadn't expected Yang Jian to act so quickly.

Anxin smiled and said, "He is quite clever. The more he prepares, the more he will worry. After all, he is not alone."

On the entire street, only Gu An did not turn around.

Before he came to find Yang Jian, he knew that Yang Jian would agree, and he even saw when Yang Jian would become an immortal.

He is now pondering when and where the Mysterious Immortal should attain immortality.

Yang Jian's ascension caused a great stir, attracting all the powerful figures in the Taicang Dynasty to rush over, including Li Xuandao.

During his ascension, Yang Jian told Li Xuandao that he wanted to become an immortal, but he did not explain why he could become an immortal. He hoped that Li Xuandao could take good care of his descendants.

Li Xuandao agreed, his heart filled with shock and amazement.

Are there really gods and immortals?

He always believed that the so-called immortals were beings who cultivated immortality and attained enlightenment. The former Holy Court called itself an immortal, and the current Taoist court and all the religions in the human world also called themselves immortals. He even called himself an immortal to his own people.

But today, witnessing the Heavenly Dao's fortune being taken away from Yang Jian, he realized that his understanding was far too shallow.

The aura of ascension is connected to the Heavenly Dao Light Layer on the surface of the Heavenly Spirit Great World, so Yang Jian's ascension attracted the attention of all the great powers in the world.

In the time that followed, many powerful beings arrived to witness Yang Jian's ascension.

Yang Jian's ascension was not a simple ascension. During the ascension process, his physical body and soul were being tempered by the Heavenly Dao's fortune, and his cultivation level continued to rise rapidly.

Sensing his rapidly increasing aura, the powerful cultivators watching were amazed. Some even tried to force their way in, but were shocked by the power of the Heavenly Dao, their bodies turned to ashes and their souls almost annihilated. This made the other powerful cultivators dare not act rashly.

Later, even Xuan Yuan Zizai Xian arrived, including Yuan Songzi, the master of the Dao Court.

As Gu An walked down the street, he realized that the fortunes of humankind had changed.

Yang Jian's ascension will bring a surge in the fortunes of the Heavenly Dao in the Tianling Great World, as people begin to believe in immortals, and the faith of those who cultivate immortality will further boost the fortunes of the Heavenly Dao.

The Taicang Dynasty thus became famous throughout the world, and Yang Jian's name will be passed down through the ages.
