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

Chapter 976 The Divine Steed of Merit and Heavenly Palace
Gu An chatted with Xuanqing Xingjun for an hour. Afterward, the two walked out of the pavilion together. Gu An gave a few instructions to his disciples and then asked Xuanqing Xingjun to take out the Heavenly Dao Immortal Book.

As soon as the Heavenly Dao Immortal Manual was published, golden light of merit descended from the sky, illuminating Mount Wuzhong and causing all the people of the continent to look up at the heavens.

The Red Dust Supreme and others, who were working in the medicinal field, also looked over, their expressions varying, each with their own thoughts.

Xuanqing Xingjun and Gu An were both enveloped in the golden light of merit. He turned to look at Gu An, his expression one of astonishment.

He had sent away so many meritorious immortals, but none had ever been as successful as the Master Wushi.

Even if you use the Heavenly Dao Immortal Book to invite the golden light of merit, it still takes time. Sometimes it takes several days, sometimes several months. Unlike the Master Wushi, the golden light of merit appeared as soon as he took out the Heavenly Dao Immortal Book.

He even had a feeling that the golden light of merit was forcibly pulled over by the primordial master.

The feeling was so absurd that he couldn't put it into words; he could only stare blankly at Gu An's profile.

Under the watchful eyes of the second-generation disciples, Gu An and his companion disappeared into the golden light of merit. The golden light of merit quickly shrank back into the sky and vanished without a trace. Only the flowers and plants inside and outside the courtyard swayed, proving that the golden light of merit just now was not an illusion.

"I wonder when Master will return." Zui murmured to himself, looking up, his tone filled with reluctance.

Shen Zhen snorted, "He'll be back in a few days at most."

Blood Prison Great Sage, Heavenly Demon Child, Heavenly Azure, Heavenly White and the others all smiled knowingly, which surprised Zui.

……

Within the golden light of merit.

Xuanqing Star Lord observed Gu An's expression. During the process of ascending to immortality through merit, Gu An would see the scenes of the heavens and the realms of the celestial beings, as well as the past and future of all living beings. He would experience the baptism of the heavens layer by layer, and every immortal with merit would become lost in it.

Gu An's expression remained calm, seemingly unaffected.

Xuanqing Xingjun secretly marveled at the power of Wushi Zushi, while also being curious about Wushi Zushi's past.

To cultivate to such a level, one must have spent a very long time, and such a being must have come into contact with the Heavenly Court.

Did the Master Wushi have been an immortal before?

Xuanqing Xingjun thought it was possible, after all, the Heavenly Emperor had changed several times, and over the long years, there were quite a few powerful beings who gave up their immortal positions.

Gu An paid no attention to what Xuanqing Xingjun was thinking; at this moment, he was enjoying the scenery of the celestial realm.

The Celestial Realm is the plane where the Heavenly Court resides. It is located at the top of the Heavenly Dao and is difficult to reach or even capture without the Heavenly Dao's fortune.

At this moment, the Heavenly Emperor was scrutinizing Gu An, but Gu An pretended not to see it.

He revealed a portion of his cultivation level, allowing his cultivation to reach the Hunyuan Tongxuan Venerable Immortal Realm.

This level of cultivation was enough to place him among the top in the Heavenly Court, but he still posed no threat to the Heavenly Emperor. He even used some concealment methods to make the Heavenly Emperor believe that he was a Hunyuan Tongxuan Venerable Immortal who had hidden his cultivation.

The Heavenly Emperor is now extremely interested in him.

"To be able to reach the Hunyuan Tongxuan Venerable Immortal realm so quietly within the Heavenly Dao, I wonder if you have the opportunity of the Great Dao or the karma left behind by the Primordial Chaos."

Sitting in the Lingxiao Palace, the Heavenly Emperor muttered to himself. Gu An's power and mystery did not arouse his fear, because there were still some existences hidden within the Heavenly Dao that even he could not perceive, but no one could reach the ultimate Fusion Dao Emperor realm.

A smile played on his lips, as if he had thought of something amusing, his eyes fixed on Gu An's face.

The time it takes for meritorious beings to ascend to immortality is neither short nor long. For others, the overwhelming Heavenly Court's fortune would make the new immortals feel like they've just woken up from a dream. However, Gu An directly blocked the feedback from the Heavenly Dao's fortune.

Finally, they stopped, and the golden light of merit around them dissipated. What came into Gu An's view was an endless sea of ​​clouds, and in the distance, there was a palace radiating boundless golden light, standing above the clouds, with red eaves and white walls. In front of the gate stood a row of stone statues, all of them in the posture of divine steeds raising their hooves, but their shapes and hair were different.

"This palace is called the Heavenly Palace of the Divine Steed of Merit. It will belong to you from now on. Please take out the Divine Steed of Merit Token."

Xuanqing Xingjun spoke, and upon hearing this, Gu An took out the Merit Steed Token.

Upon issuing this order, it immediately flew towards the Heavenly Palace of the Divine Steed of Merit, hovering above the red eaves. In an instant, the Divine Steed of Merit Order unleashed an invisible power, causing the space to fluctuate. Before long, streams of fortune surged towards the Heavenly Palace of the Divine Steed of Merit.

Densely packed, countless!
Gu An could see that the vast majority of the divine steeds belonged to the Heavenly Court. There were more than a thousand kinds of divine steeds in the Heavenly Court, each with its own special abilities. In addition, there were Heavenly Officials of various levels, all of whom were part of the same system who controlled the divine steeds.

Feeling the celestial fortune attracted by the Heavenly Palace of the Divine Steed of Merit, Xuanqing Star Lord also showed a look of envy.

Although he holds the Heavenly Dao Immortal Register, his immortal rank is only that of a Star Lord, far inferior to Gu An's. In the future, when he sees Gu An, he will have to pay his respects.

I wonder how high his immortal rank will rise after completing the Merit Immortal mission?

Gu An strode toward the Heavenly Palace of the Divine Steed of Merit, with Xuanqing Star Lord following closely behind.

Having arrived here and sensed the aura of the Heavenly Court, Gu An no longer needed Xuanqing Xingjun to lead the way.

The Heavenly Court's fortune has already merged with his body; of course, this is only the surface, and he can break free from the Heavenly Court's fortune at any time.

The Heavenly Court's fortune can enhance the cultivation of immortals and gods, but for the Primordial Profound Venerable Immortal, the enhancement is not significant, so he does not need to perform any more details.

Xuanqing Xingjun followed behind Gu An and could clearly feel Gu An's aura surging outwards from within.

Gu An on Mount Wuzhong was very peaceful and made people feel no pressure, but the current Gu An is just like those Heavenly Dao Supremes he has seen, full of oppressive feeling.

Xuanqing Xingjun smiled, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Such a meritorious immortal would certainly not yield; he eagerly awaited what would happen next.

Every meritorious immortal in Heaven will be suppressed and ostracized, which is why they cannot establish merit, because they have not yet gained a foothold in Heaven.

He wanted to see who dared to cause trouble for the God of Merit and Virtue, and to see how Gu An would deal with it.

Gu An arrived at the Heavenly Palace of the Divine Steed of Merit. The gate opened automatically, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy flowed out, forming a gale that blew his robes and black hair.

He flew straight in. Inside the main hall stood two rows of stone pillars, each with a real dragon coiled on it. He could sense that these dragons were formed from the heavenly fortune, creating a kind of grand formation to protect the palace and enhance the Daoist intent and spiritual energy within it.

What a wonderful stroke of luck!

Such merits were not created by immortals or gods, but by the heavens.

The so-called Azure Heaven is the Heavenly Emperor, created by the Supreme Emperor of the Dao, whose essence is naturally beyond the comprehension of other immortals and gods.

Xuanqing Xingjun followed behind Gu An, and was about to speak when a strong gust of wind came from behind, startling him into turning around.

A giant golden face rose from the sea of ​​clouds outside the gate, its size so large that the space within the gate frame could not contain it.

"Golden-bodied Divine Venerable!"

Xuanqing Xingjun's expression changed drastically, and he uttered the other party's immortal name.
