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

Chapter 842 Sweeping Across the Heavens
"What do you mean? Are you saying that he already possesses the power to rival Father Emperor?"

Tianhao frowned and asked, his tone suddenly turning much colder.

After regaining his memories, his feelings for the Heavenly Emperor returned to normal. He harbored resentment and dissatisfaction, but undeniably, the Heavenly Emperor was the most powerful being in his heart, even surpassing his master, Gu An.

Gu An must have some unspeakable reason for living in seclusion here.

The Heavenly Emperor sits high above, looking down upon all living beings, and no one can shake his supreme power.

Emperor Ji Yan remained calm and replied, "You do not understand your father. Before the Supreme Emperor, no emperor has ever held the power of the Heavenly Court. If your father is angry, even the Supreme Being of Heaven will be stripped of his immortal position and fall into the mortal world. To make matters worse, he may be destroyed in both body and soul."

How could Tianhao not know the Heavenly Emperor's domineering nature, after all, he himself had already fallen to the mortal realm?

If he hadn't met his master, Gu An, he felt he would have gone through countless reincarnations, with no end in sight.

There are many emperors like him; emperors rise and fall throughout the myriad realms, not to mention the erroneous gods and immortals.

The thought of the number of gods and immortals in the Heavenly Court filled Tianhao with immense pressure.

They were facing not only the Emperor and the Supreme Lord, but also the power of the entire Heavenly Court.

If the Supreme Lord truly possesses power comparable to that of the Heavenly Emperor, then they indeed have no chance of winning.

The two fell silent again.

Emperor Ji Yan closed his eyes again and continued his meditation.

Tianhao turned to leave, but before he could finish, he suddenly asked, "Are you staying here because of that mortal boy?"

"I'm just thinking about the path I should really take. Since we're brothers, I'll give you some advice: since you can't defy the Supreme Lord, you might as well leave the Heavenly Court and spend the rest of your time on enlightenment. Perhaps when you find your own path, you'll see a way out."

Emperor Ji Yan answered with his eyes closed, his tone gentler than before.

Tianhao gave him a meaningful look, then turned and left, heading back the way he came, and soon disappeared into the vast white snow.

The heavy snow continued to fall, landing on the Emperor's body during the sacrificial ceremony.

Day after day, the Emperor's sacrificial ceremony at Yan was buried in white snow, blending into the sky and earth.

……

The internal strife within the Heavenly Court did not affect the Three Thousand Great Worlds, where their own stories were unfolding.

In this year, a peerless genius emerged on the path of the Great Dao, cultivating both the Great Dao Emperor and the Primordial Dao Emperor.

When the ancestor of the invincible imperial clan from the Primordial Imperial Domain visited Gu An, he mentioned this genius, saying that he had never seen such a powerful genius in his lifetime, and that even in the Primordial Imperial Domain, his talent was absolutely rare in history.

The two were having tea at an inn on the Nine Spirits Continent. The Undefeated Emperor Ancestor talked about that genius at length, and Gu An listened with great interest, as if he were listening to a story.

The guests at several nearby tables were also drawn in by the words of the Invincible Emperor.

The words that came out of this old man's mouth all sounded really impressive.

As for Gu An, they weren't too curious. Even though the Nine Spirits Continent was shrouded in the Daoist temples, very few people had ever seen Gu An's true face.

"Emperor Xuan has declared that he will challenge all the powerful beings in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and will also conquer the Primordial Imperial Domain, the Misty Immortal Court, the Spirit Mountain and other extraordinary realms. He is truly arrogant. However, there are many forces that are optimistic about him. There are quite a few imperial clans in the Primordial Imperial Domain that want to recruit him and absorb his bloodline."

The Invincible Emperor clicked his tongue in amazement, then looked up at Gu An and asked, "Is there anyone in the Heavenly Spirit Great World who can rival him?"

He wanted to ask the disciple of Wushi, but he couldn't be too direct. In his view, the Heavenly Spirit Great World wasn't strong at all; it was Wushi who was strong.

“In terms of talent, there are indeed people who can compare to him, but if he arrives, no one will be able to stop him,” Gu An replied with a smile.

He wasn't talking nonsense, because this was something that was about to happen.

Emperor Xuan was destined to become a mythical legend, and the reason why Ji was able to wage war everywhere was because he had heard of his legend.

Unlike those tragic hero stories, Emperor Xuan's life was smooth sailing. He would sweep across the heavens, be deified with unparalleled glory, and be ranked among the immortals. In the most extreme era, according to legend, Emperor Xuan once ushered in a brilliant golden age.

Looking at it now, Gu An sees much more.

Emperor Xuan succeeded because he had a transcendent figure supporting him.

The Supreme Emperor, the current ruler of the Heavenly Court!
"Indeed, Emperor Xuan has grown up." The Invincible Ancestor sighed. At the same time, he secretly admired Gu An's magnanimity. Judging from Gu An's words, it was clear that he did not intend to suppress Emperor Xuan.

The two continued their conversation, and the topic turned to the Primordial Imperial Domain. Recently, the Invincible Imperial Clan had also encountered trouble. There were many imperial clans in the Primordial Imperial Domain, and the status of the Invincible Imperial Clan had been declining since they suffered damage on the Path of the Great Dao. His purpose in coming here was not only to visit the imperial clans that remained in the Heavenly Spirit Great World, but more importantly, to seek help.

Over the past tens of millions of years, he believed he had performed reasonably well, which is why he mustered the courage to come.

After he finished speaking, Gu An said, "I cannot help you directly, as that would be against the laws of heaven and earth. The current state of the Invincible Imperial Clan is also due to your improper actions. This is a hardship you must endure. However, I can give you hope. After tens of millions of years, I will grant the Invincible Imperial Clan a spot to become an immortal. But this spot has a threshold; the person must satisfy me."

Upon hearing the first half of Gu An's sentence, the Undefeated Emperor Ancestor was utterly dejected, but upon hearing the second half, he was overjoyed.

Immortal!

Even the Primordial Imperial Domain would pursue the Immortal Throne.

However, the threshold of the Heavenly Court is extremely high. At most, they can recommend their clansmen to participate in the selection of the Heavenly Army. It is extremely difficult, almost impossible, to step onto the Heavenly Ascension Staircase.

The Undefeated Emperor suppressed his surprise and asked, "May I ask what rank of immortal position you hold?"

Gu An replied, "At least a Star Lord. As for the specific immortal rank, it depends on each person's fate."

Star Lord!

The Invincible Emperor's eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid.

Once, a Star Lord descended upon the Primordial Imperial Domain, and even ancient beings with higher cultivation levels than this Star Lord were forced to kneel down. That scene remains unforgettable to him to this day.

The immortals and gods of Heaven are immortal and indestructible, which is their confidence when facing stronger opponents. For immortals and gods, cultivation level does not seem to be that important; this is the power of Heaven.

If the Undefeated Ancestor were to give birth to a Star Lord, it would be a meteoric rise, surpassing even his peak.

The conversation between the two made the people around them even more curious. They kept looking at Gu An, only to find that they couldn't see his true face no matter what they did, which surprised them.

With such an arrogant tone, could this person be a disciple from the fifth generation before the beginning of time?

Gu An stood up and said with a smile, "We've had our drinks. Come with me for a walk. Show me what you think of the Nine Spirits Continent now."

The Undefeated Emperor Ancestor quickly got up and followed Gu An out of the inn.

He couldn't contain his emotions, and the smile on his face was impossible to hide.
