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

Chapter 831 The Changes in the Heavenly Court
A white jade coffin hangs on the cliff. Reaching out to stop it is a man in white, his white hair fluttering in the wind, his face handsome, and his arrogance impossible to conceal.

It was none other than the Emperor offering sacrifices to Yama!
Compared to many years ago, he looks more weathered.

His gaze swept over the white jade coffin, a look of nostalgia in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "It's been so long since we fought side by side."

His identity as the emperor was never hidden. Since his ascension, he has relied on this identity to make his way in the Heavenly Spirit World. Some people pledged allegiance to him, while others scoffed at him. Things did not develop as smoothly as he had imagined.

The Heavenly Spirit Alliance, which was at the forefront, treated him coldly, making it difficult for him to gain a foothold. He had no choice but to use his natal divine weapon.

He turned his head to look into the distance, his eyes gradually turning cold and sharp.

Without eliminating the Heavenly Spirit Alliance, it will be difficult for him to become the ruler of this realm.

Becoming the supreme ruler of the world is a test of his reincarnation; he cannot fall here.

The existence of the Primordial Ancestor had initially caused him some concern, but after inquiring around, he dispelled his worries.

As long as it doesn't harm sentient beings, the Great Master Wushi will not interfere.

He also visited the immortals and gods who remained in this realm. He vaguely guessed something, but he didn't reveal it. He only needed to focus on his own tribulation.

After thinking it over, he disappeared into thin air on the cliff with the white jade coffin.

……

Time keeps flowing and will not stop for anyone.

Millions of years have passed in a flash.

The Dark Heavenly Court was eventually defeated by the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Dao's fortune began to rise in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, with more and more opportunities to become immortal appearing in the mortal realm.

The same was true in the Heavenly Spirit World; there was another person who obtained the opportunity to become an immortal, ascended to heaven in broad daylight, and became famous throughout the world.

The desire to become an immortal has taken root in the hearts of all living beings, making it even more difficult for the emperor to perform his sacrificial rites to Yama, as the reverence of the people for him as the emperor is waning.

Rather than serving immortals and gods, one should strive to become one.

The Heavenly Spirit Alliance was stronger than Emperor Ji Yan had imagined, but thanks to his own talent and divine weapons, after tens of millions of years, the power he created still reached a level that could rival the Heavenly Spirit Alliance.

The current global power struggle is between the Heavenly Spirit Alliance and the Emperor for dominance over the world.

In spring, the Wushi Daocheng Temple is full of vitality, and the scenery is magnificent.

Gu An was painting inside the Guanshan Pavilion. Compared to millions of years ago, the waterfall outside the pavilion now features colorful little fish leaping in its cascading water, adding even more color to this landscape.

Two figures flew in from afar and quickly landed in front of the Guanshan Pavilion; it was An Zizai and Zhen Qin.

Zhen Qin lifted her robe and hat and respectfully bowed to Gu An.

After bowing, An Zizai said, "Grandmaster, Senior Uncle Zhen has arrived."

Gu An turned to look at Zhen Qin. Zhen Qin became excited when she met his gaze. She knelt on the ground and said, "Master, I have a request."

She looked tense, her eyes filled with anxiety.

Gu An did not let An Zizai step down. He looked at Zhen Qin and said irritably, "Why are you kneeling? I still prefer the old you. You rarely knelt before me and liked to joke with me."

The reason he became close to Shangguan Xian'er was only superficial; the real reason was that Shangguan Xian'er reminded him of the feeling he had when he was with Zhen Qin.

For him now, it's boring to be around people who are too tense. After all, he can see through people's hearts. He doesn't care about anyone's motives; he only cares about the atmosphere when they're together.

Hearing this, Zhen Qin felt ashamed. Although her master treated her as before, she was no longer the Tai Xuan Sect disciple she once was, and she found it hard to convince herself to treat her master the same way. "Master, my disciple has been captured by a powerful figure under the Emperor's command. The Tianling Dao Alliance and the Emperor are sworn enemies. I have no way to save him. Can you intervene?" Zhen Qin asked through gritted teeth.

Gu An shook his head and said, "How can I get involved in something like this? Your nephew will help you. Why don't you stay here for a few days?"

"No, Master, I'm afraid something will happen to him. Let's save him first, and then I'll bring him to visit you. Is that alright?" Zhen Qin said urgently.

Looking at her anxious appearance, Gu An saw a reflection of her past self.

"Alright, Zizai, you go with her."

Gu An said helplessly, "Who told Zhen Qin to be his disciple with a master-disciple relationship of over 73 million years? Of course I have to spoil her."

Emperor Ji Yan is the current ruler of heaven and earth. The disciples of Wushi will not interfere in his feud with the Tianling Dao Alliance. Even if An Zizai wanted to help, he would have to ask Gu An for permission.

An Zizai immediately accepted the order, and Zhen Qin followed suit, bowing to thank Gu An before the two quickly departed.

Gu An turned back and continued painting; such a thing was a trivial matter to him.

Over the long years, old friends and disciples would always come to him for help. As long as he agreed to let An Zizai bring them to him, it basically meant that he agreed to help them.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if this is part of your scheme."

Gu An muttered to himself, referring not to the current emperor, Ji Yan, who was stirring up the world, but to another emperor who had now ascended to the stage of power in the Heavenly Court.

That emperor led the Heavenly Court to defeat the Dark Heavenly Court, greatly increasing his prestige and his own Heavenly Fortune. He even stepped into the Lingxiao Palace and met with the Heavenly Emperor.

Gu An didn't know what he talked about with the Heavenly Emperor. After that, the Heavenly Emperor disappeared, and this new emperor began to take control of the Heavenly Court.

This emperor is ambitious and is trying to win over the gods and immortals of various departments. At the same time, he is constantly releasing divine opportunities to the mortal world, clearly intending to cultivate his own faction.

Gu An's eyes could see the future of this emperor. This emperor was benevolent to all living beings, but cruel to other emperors. He would eliminate emperors one by one, and Xuanyuan Renzun would die here with him.

This kind of destiny didn't exist before; it only appeared after the Dark Heavenly Court was defeated.

When the Emperor's tribulation over the Sacrifice to Yama ends and he returns to the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court will undergo earth-shattering changes. Unfortunately, the Emperor's Tribulation to Yama is currently unaware of the situation in the Heavenly Court.

However, these things are none of Gu An's business. As long as Yang Jian, Li Xuanmiao, and Tianmie Shen are not persecuted, that's all that matters.

The next morning.

Gu An was collecting paintings at the Guanshan Pavilion when An Zizai returned with Zhen Qin and Su Han.

Emperor Ji Yan gave An Zizai a lot of face, and with An Zizai's cultivation level, the three of them returned quickly.

Su Han had changed into clean clothes and looked nothing like a prisoner. He was also unharmed. He followed behind Zhen Qin, looking around excitedly, his face full of anticipation.

The three of them arrived at Guanshan Pavilion and bowed to Gu An. Zhen Qin even made Su Han kneel down to thank Gu An for saving her life.

“I didn’t save him, so there’s no need for that. Be at ease. Show Su Han around and settle him in.”

Gu An spoke up, and An Zizai responded. Su Han then stood up, but he didn't dare to look directly at Gu An. Only after An Zizai left did he come back to his senses.

Why am I so timid?

Su Han was secretly annoyed. Meeting the Ancestor Wushi was what he had been looking forward to the most. He had imagined it many times, but he had never thought that he would be in such a predicament.

Even after he realized what had happened, he didn't dare to look back.
