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

Chapter 833 Great Fortune Descends

Li Xuandao remained unmoved by the Emperor's words about sacrificing to Yama. He raised his right hand, his gaze sweeping over the three jade rings on his hand, and softly replied, "If it weren't for you, Emperor, would there be no chance to become an immortal in this mortal world? Wouldn't mortals yearn to become immortals?"

His voice was soft, but it resonated clearly throughout the hall.

Emperor Ji Yan replied, "I can bring you and your people closer to the divine destiny."

"There are so many dynasties in the world, how many do you want to win over?"

"All."

"If it's all of this, even if you succeed, how can I be sure you'll choose me?"

"The Taicang Dynasty is already the oldest dynasty in the world. Your Majesty's lack of ambition has caused the world to overlook the Taicang Dynasty's profound heritage. Moreover, you still have the protection of the Ancestor Wushi."

"May I ask if there is an emperor or celestial position in the Heavenly Court?"

A smile appeared on Li Xuandao's face when he said these words.

Emperor Ji Yan's expression became subtle, and his eyes turned somewhat cold. He replied, "Of course there are. In addition to the supreme Heavenly Emperor, there are the Four Heavenly Emperors, and further down, there are the Thirty-Six Emperor Stars, all of whom are meritorious emperors who can compete for them."

"So many emperors, but it feels like they're just empty names."

Li Xuandao narrowed his eyes, his tone becoming aggressive. He leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have long heard of your legend. I have seen and heard of many people like you who want to use the world as a chessboard, and none of them have ever had a good ending. If you could truly represent the Way of Heaven, you would not have caused such a catastrophe in the world. If the Heavenly Emperor truly wants you to be the supreme ruler in every life, I suspect it is not because he wants you to ascend to the supreme position by stepping on countless bones."

Emperor Ji Yan raised an eyebrow and sneered, "What? Does Your Majesty believe that unifying the world relies on benevolence and love?"

"I simply feel that the methods and levels of immortals should be higher than those of mortals. The methods that Your Majesty has currently displayed make me feel that they are no different from those of mortals. I am sorry that I cannot agree to this."

After saying these words, Li Xuandao stared intently at the Emperor's sacrifice to Yan.

The two locked eyes, locked in a fierce confrontation, and the atmosphere in the hall became tense, quiet yet oppressive.

for a long time.

Emperor Ji Yan withdrew his gaze and smiled, "In that case, I will not disturb you any longer."

He turned and left, and in that instant, his face turned unusually cold.

Li Xuandao sat on the imperial throne and watched him leave.

After the Emperor left the main hall to offer sacrifices to Yama, Li Xuandao revealed a contemptuous smile and snorted, "No immortal or god's position is as comfortable as mine, and besides..."

His gaze went upwards, as if he could see through the eaves of the palace to the sky.

"I don't want to be an immortal or a god, but I would be interested in being the Heavenly Emperor."

……

"You think you can be the Heavenly Emperor? I think you're incredibly arrogant."

By the lake, Gu An, who was fishing, rolled his eyes at Su Han and said sarcastically.

Several hundred years have passed since Su Han and Zhen Qin arrived at the Wushi Dojo. The master and disciple have been living there. Ever since Gu An gave Su Han some pointers on swordsmanship, Su Han has been trying to curry favor with him. Before long, Su Han started practicing by Gu An's side, which caused a lot of discussion among the disciples.

No one dared to imitate Su Han. Although Su Han was thick-skinned, everyone with eyes could see that this was because the founder favored him.

Moreover, Su Han became a third-generation disciple as soon as he entered the sect, surpassing ninety percent of Wu Shi's disciples in seniority.

Su Han sat beside Gu An, holding a sword in his hand. He snorted, "How can you be so arrogant? Is the Heavenly Emperor born as the Heavenly Emperor? He must have been cultivated to that position. As long as I am strong enough, I will be able to do it sooner or later. When that time comes, I will make Wushi the Holy Sect to supervise the Heavenly Court's immortals and gods. The current immortals and gods are really lawless and lack control. That emperor captured many dynasty monarchs and coerced the dynasties to fight for him. In the end, he tore off his hypocritical mask himself."

Gu An looked at the lake and said, "You haven't even seen many immortals and gods, yet you dare to speculate about the Heavenly Emperor. The vast majority of immortals and gods never see the Heavenly Emperor in their entire lives. The Heavenly Emperor's power is beyond your imagination. You can't even imagine it, let alone surpass it."

This is true. No being who relies on the Heavenly Dao's fortune can surpass the Heavenly Emperor. Their own cultivation will only help the Heavenly Emperor become stronger. Gu An's ability to possess strength comparable to the Heavenly Emperor is mainly due to his ability to evolve his lifespan. To this day, he is certain that his abilities come from outside the Heavenly Dao, and perhaps they have existed for far longer than the Heavenly Dao itself.

If you cannot have the kind of opportunities beyond the Heavenly Dao that he has, then don't even think about surpassing the Heavenly Emperor.

Just as the Primordial Dao Emperor could never surpass him.

"Grandmaster, have you ever met the Heavenly Emperor?" Su Han asked curiously, looking at Gu An with anticipation.

In fact, in the mythology of the Heavenly Spirit World, the status of the Primordial Ancestor was no less than that of the Heavenly Emperor, and even higher, because he saved the world many times and even fought against the unjust gods and immortals for the sake of all living beings.

"I've never seen it. I've never even been to the Heavenly Court," Gu An replied casually.

"Then why don't you want to become an immortal?"

What is the purpose of becoming an immortal?

"Naturally, it's for the sake of immortality."

"I have already achieved immortality, why should I become an immortal?"

"And what about becoming stronger?"

"Even as I speak to you now, my cultivation is still increasing. If you pester me, your cultivation will stagnate, but mine will not. Do you know how I do it?"

"How did you do that?"

Su Han was stunned; he felt that his grandmaster's words were too exaggerated.

Is it constantly getting stronger?

If that's true, no wonder no one can catch him.

Gu An replied, "Once you reach a certain level, you will naturally be able to do it. But before that, you will need to endure a very long period of time, long enough for the Heavenly Spirit Great World to be destroyed, and you will still have to persevere."

Su Han followed his words and felt a chill in her heart.

Although he was a cultivator, he seemed insignificant in the face of time. He didn't know how to cultivate to live longer than the Heavenly Spirit Great World.

Just then, a burst of intense light erupted from the sky, eclipsing the world. Su Han instinctively looked up, but could see nothing.

The bright light appeared suddenly and disappeared quickly.

Su Han regained his vision and stared intently. His expression changed slightly as he saw dozens of fire phoenixes appearing on the horizon, seemingly coming from beyond the heavens and flying towards the distant earth. It was quite a spectacular sight.

"what is that?"

Su Han couldn't help but ask, as this was the first time he had ever seen so many phoenixes.

After the Tianling Great World was reshaped, many spiritual creatures of heaven and earth were born, including phoenixes, unicorns, and true dragons. However, he felt that the group of phoenixes in the sky at this moment were not simple and clearly came from outside the heavens.

Gu An looked up, a smile spreading across his face, and said, "Who said there are no rules governing immortals and gods? Look, that emperor is in trouble."

"Trouble is brewing? Could it be that a deity has descended to earth?" Su Han asked curiously.

"No, it is a person who is born with the great fortune of heaven and earth. He will be the most dazzling person in the world, and he will surely reach the pinnacle of humanity and sweep away all powerful enemies," Gu An said with a smile.

These words gave Su Han a lot to think about.

He wanted to ask.

How does his aptitude compare to that of the person about to be born?
