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

Chapter 980 Minor Celestial Realm

Liu An had a dream in which he returned to his youth and climbed a mountain with Wei Ye and other classmates. He and Wei Ye came to the edge of a cliff to chat. Suddenly, Wei Ye's face changed and became sinister and terrifying. Then he pushed Liu An off the cliff.

He woke up with a start, opened his eyes, and gasped for breath.

What came into his view was a huge old tree. The dazzling light shone through the branches and leaves onto his face, making him feel dizzy.

When he regained his senses, he found the sky covered in white light, like a small world.

He sat up and saw Wei Ye lying on the grass not far away. He could feel Wei Ye's presence, so he wasn't nervous.

"What's going on... Where am I?"

Liu An covered his forehead, his mind filled with confusion.

He remembered that he had fought Wei Ye with all his might, lost consciousness during a battle of supernatural powers, and when he woke up, he found himself in this place.

At this moment, Wei Ye, who was not far away, also woke up. He was also startled awake as if from a dream, and suddenly got up. When he saw Liu An, he clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Something's not right here, be careful," Liu An warned.

They are enemies, but also brothers; when they are in unknown dangers together, they will rely on each other.

Wei Ye nodded, then sat down to meditate on the spot, as did Liu An. The two observed each other while recovering their composure.

After a while, their expressions changed simultaneously, and they both looked at the huge old tree. There stood an old man in white robes on a huge branch, looking down at them expressionlessly.

Liu An and his companion frowned, their eyes filled with wariness.

When did the other party appear?

They hadn't noticed it at all before; if the other party hadn't deliberately revealed a trace of their presence, they wouldn't have been able to detect their appearance at all.

"May I ask, fellow Daoist, where is this place?"

Liu An asked the question calmly, his tone revealing no fear despite his deep apprehension towards the white-robed elder.

The white-robed elder looked down at them from afar and said, "This realm is the Emperor's small heavenly realm. If I had not saved you, you would have been devoured by the Great Dao. You dare to act recklessly, daring to fight within the River of the Great Dao."

Emperor?

Minor Celestial Realm?
Liu An and Wei Ye frowned even more deeply. They had heard of the Son of Heaven, not the emperor of a mortal dynasty, but the son of the Heavenly Emperor, who was high above all others and even immortals and gods had to obey him.

It is said that the three thousand great worlds are controlled by a single emperor.

"You have no real intention to kill each other, so why can't you let go of those worldly grudges?" the white-robed elder asked.

"Having reached your level of cultivation, you should have already let go of many things. Since you still care about each other, why let it bother you and affect your cultivation?"

Liu An and his companion's expressions turned unnatural, but they were still deeply resentful of their past grievances, and even with someone trying to comfort them, they couldn't let go.

Wei Ye looked up and asked, "Senior, could you please let us leave?"

The white-robed elder's expression remained indifferent. He countered, "After this battle, aren't you going to Zhongtian? Xiaotianjie is also going there. Are you sure you want to rely on yourselves?"

Liu An asked in surprise, "This small celestial realm is flying towards the Central Heaven?"

He missed Fangcun Island terribly, he missed his master, he missed Xuanwu.

Upon learning that he was heading to Zhongtian, he no longer cared about his grudges with Wei Ye.

"Well, you can leave once you reach Zhongtian."

After the old man in white finished speaking, he slowly turned around.

Liu An hurriedly asked, "Senior, what is your Taoist name, and which emperor are you referring to?" The white-robed old man did not stop, but he answered, "My Taoist name is not important. The emperor I serve is named Tianhao."

Tianhao?

Liu An and Wei Ye exchanged glances. They had never heard of this name before. It must be someone extraordinary, perhaps named Hao.

……

Above the sea of ​​clouds, Gu An and Xiao Lan stood side by side. Xiao Lan looked up, her face full of excitement.

Following Xiao Lan's gaze, below, hidden in the sea of ​​clouds were enormous creatures, each with a different shape, all divine steeds. They revealed their heads, backs, and tails, resembling majestic mountains.

The divine steeds only resembled horses in general, but they also had other features, such as dragon heads, unicorn heads, and three lion heads. Some had sharp scales standing on their backs, gleaming with a cold, gleaming light.

The sea of ​​clouds stretched endlessly, layer upon layer like an abyss, with countless divine steeds scattered everywhere, leaving Xiao Lan overwhelmed with their sight.

Xiao Lan saw that the smaller divine steed was at least a hundred feet tall, and the largest divine steed could not be measured by sight. It stood on the horizon like a heavenly wall, with the bright sun floating on its back, but it did not emit a scorching aura.

"Brother Gu, are all these divine steeds under your command?" Xiao Lan asked curiously.

Gu An smiled and said, "Of course, if you like, you can even choose one."

Xiao Lan was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Really? I'm not an immortal."

"I do have that much power. Besides, there are plenty of divine steeds out there on missions, so just send them out on missions," Gu An replied casually.

The number of divine steeds far exceeded Xiao Lan's imagination. This was just a cloud realm, and the most powerful divine steeds were not here.

Xiao Lan looked around and finally shook her head, saying, "Let's forget it. The divine steed's aura is too strong. Bringing it to Zhongtian will definitely cause trouble."

Gu An didn't insist. If she changed her mind later, he would simply give her a divine steed.

Just then, a golden light flew in from afar, attracting Xiao Lan's attention.

Xiao Lan watched as the golden light landed beside a divine steed. The golden light dissipated, revealing the figure of a celestial being. This celestial being wore golden armor, held a divine weapon, and exuded an aura of dominance that seemed to say, "Who else but me?"

The deity seemed unaware of Gu An and his companion's presence, and began to carefully admire the divine steed before him.

Xiao Lan was already aware of Gu An's methods, so she wasn't surprised, but was curious about the origin of this celestial being.

"Is he choosing a divine steed?" Xiao Lan asked softly.

Gu An nodded and said, "However, he hasn't gone through the procedures yet and wants to make his selection in advance."

"He doesn't follow the rules, does he have some powerful background?" Xiao Lan asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It is indeed quite large, backed by the Supreme Immortal, and is the Supreme Immortal's personal disciple."

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, I won't need to do anything."

Gu An shook his head and chuckled, not taking that celestial being seriously.

Just as Xiao Lan was about to ask a question, an immense divine might enveloped the boundless sea of ​​clouds, startling the golden-armored celestial god into turning around. Xiao Lan also turned her head to look.

Behind the enormous, sunless steed on the horizon, an even larger face appeared. The entire world seemed unable to contain this face. This face was slightly tilted, looking down at them. It looked like the head of a stone statue, full of visual impact. Even Xiao Lan, whose cultivation had reached the Taiqing Golden Immortal level, couldn't help but be frightened.

This face made her feel as if she were facing a colossus who had created the world, and she couldn't help but feel very small.
