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

Chapter 986 The Corpse of the Venerable Emperor
In the dark depths of the universe, countless meteors floated aimlessly, while a golden light streaked across the sky.

Upon closer inspection, the golden light revealed a golden leaf, upon which stood five figures, both male and female, all possessing extraordinary bearing; they were all celestial beings from the Heavenly Court.

A white-clad female immortal holding a long bottle spoke up: "There shouldn't be anything we're looking for in this area."

The other gods and immortals followed suit.

"Don't even mention imperial bones, you can't see a single hair."

"You're supposed to be a deity, how can you still speak so rudely?"

"Be careful, the spiritual energy here is thin, something feels off."

"With the five of us joining forces, whether it's Cangming or Yongheng, we can escape unscathed. What is there to fear?"

"Eternity is an old rival, and Cangming is already known to the Heavenly Court. Why do I feel that this calamity is not so simple?"

The five immortals discussed everything from the Emperor's Bone to the calamities that the Heavenly Court would face in the future. The golden leaves beneath their feet flew like a continent, their speed never slowing down.

The white-clad fairy, who had been staring ahead, suddenly frowned. She raised her left hand and waved it above the long bottle in her right hand. Silver-blue water gushed out of the bottle and splashed forward.

In an instant, the dark void ahead was illuminated, and the other four immortals were attracted by the strong light emitted by the white-robed female immortal, and they subconsciously turned their heads to look.

Almost instantly, the expressions of the five immortals changed drastically.

As the darkness ahead was illuminated, an enormous figure appeared before them. It was an incredibly terrifying desiccated corpse, its upper body leaning forward, its hands forming claws, reaching out as if to pounce on the five immortals. Its lower body was submerged in darkness.

Before this mummified corpse, everything seemed insignificant. The golden leaves beneath the feet of the five immortals appeared tiny, their brilliance weaker than the light of a grain of rice.

The indescribable size brought an absolute sense of oppression; the five immortals felt a chill run through their bodies, and their souls trembled.

"escape……"

An old immortal said in a trembling voice, and the immortal who was manipulating the golden leaves immediately cast a spell, causing the golden leaves to turn around.

The golden leaves burst forth at a speed far exceeding their previous speed, but the giant desiccated corpse reached out its ghostly claws towards them, shrouding the five immortals in darkness.

The five immortals and gods were so frightened that they turned around and cast spells, offering up their magical treasures and unleashing their supernatural powers. The five powerful magical forces, capable of annihilating the entire world, were like spring water trying to shake Mount Tai when faced with that ghostly claw that was larger than the universe. They could not stop it at all.

……

Gu An lay on the roof, gazing into the depths of chaos as he watched the five immortals being devoured by the giant mummified corpse.

This enormous mummified corpse is the body of the Supreme Dao Fusion Emperor, and he was even at the late stage of the Supreme Dao Fusion Emperor realm!
This Supreme Dao Emperor died before the creation of the Heavenly Dao, even more ancient than the Heavenly Emperor. His karma was severed at the edge of chaos, and he is suspected to have perished after leaving chaos. His corpse also has an indescribable curse aura.

He was sent in by a mysterious being from outside the chaos.

Gu An is certain that he is not related to the Great Boundless Demon Ancestor, which means that there may be another saint outside of Chaos.

He was filled with curiosity about what was hidden within the Heavenly Dao that could attract the attention of two sages from outside the Chaos.

Gu An guessed it was related to Hongmeng. The Heavenly Emperor established the Heavenly Dao by relying on the power left over from Hongmeng.

If Hongmeng was so powerful, how was the Heavenly Emperor able to destroy it back then?

Gu An was very interested in this, and he continued watching the play.

The palace beneath him was founded by Li Xuandao and is one of the millions of dynasties in Zhongtian. It is not particularly remarkable at present, and Li Xuandao, who is inside the palace, has not noticed his presence.

After arriving in Zhongtian, Li Xuandao established four dynasties. When a dynasty reached a bottleneck, he would leave. After his departure, some dynasties reached greater heights, while others declined. He never looked back, witnessing their rise and fall, which deepened Li Xuandao's understanding of the Dao. This was Li Xuandao's path of cultivation.

After watching for a while, Gu An stood up and stretched in the bright sun.

"It seems I need to break through. At the very least, I need to find a way to reach the state of perfection first, so that I can protect myself when facing a sage."

Gu An thought to himself, "Judging from the current fate of Heaven, there is no trace of a sage. But a sage can change all fates, so I don't want to wait any longer."

He is currently only at the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos True Saint Realm. To reach the perfect state, he would need a very long lifespan, so he needs to think of a way.

He vanished from the rooftop and returned to the Wushi Dao Temple.

First, we need to resolve some daily chores before taking any action.

……

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.

The Heavenly Emperor sat on his throne, one hand supporting his cheek. His gaze was slightly languid as he looked at the sky outside the palace, lost in thought.

He only turned his eyes when he heard footsteps.

Following his gaze, they saw Xuanqing Xingjun leading a young man towards them.

The boy looked to be only a little over ten years old. He was very handsome at such a young age. He wore a golden robe with a belt and was surrounded by golden dragon energy. The dragon was even taller than Xuanqing Xingjun.

Xuanqing Xingjun turned his head to look at the boy, his face showing a doting expression. The boy's expression was calm, and he seemed to have a maturity beyond his years. His gaze was fixed on the Heavenly Emperor.

An old man and a young man arrived at the steps. Xuanqing Xingjun bowed in greeting, while the young man stared directly at the Heavenly Emperor without the slightest nervousness.

"Your Majesty, he is the child you left behind in the mortal world. I have gone to great lengths to awaken him."

Xuanqing Xingjun laughed as he puffed out his chest, looking smug.

The Heavenly Emperor looked down at the boy and slowly said, "Now that you have entered the Heavenly Court, you shall no longer use your earthly name. From now on, your name will be Hongyang, the Son of Heaven Hongyang."

The aura of Heaven appeared out of nowhere and surged toward the young man, who was none other than the Emperor Hongyang.

He is the first emperor of the new Heavenly Court!
The dragon aura surrounding Emperor Hongyang began to devour the surging Heavenly Fortune, yet his expression remained calm.

Xuanqing Xingjun patted Emperor Hongyang on the shoulder and urged, "Hurry up and thank your father!"

Emperor Hongyang stared at the Heavenly Emperor and asked, "I don't want to be the Son of Heaven, I want to be the Heavenly Emperor."

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing Xingjun's expression changed drastically. He quickly looked at the Heavenly Emperor, only to find that the Heavenly Emperor was not angry at all, but instead had a smile on his face, which puzzled him.

He had spent thousands of years with Emperor Hongyang, whose aptitude and comprehension were the strongest he had ever encountered. Emperor Hongyang was not domineering, but rather quiet, so he liked the child very much.

He never expected that the first words Emperor Hongyang uttered upon meeting the Heavenly Emperor would be so treasonous.

"How could someone make such a huge mess?"

Xuanqing Xingjun felt as if the sky had fallen. He was afraid that the Heavenly Emperor would misunderstand and think that he was teaching nonsense.

The Heavenly Emperor looked at Prince Hongyang and smiled, "If you want to become the Heavenly Emperor, you must be stronger than me. If you can do that, I will give you the throne of the Heavenly Emperor."
