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

Chapter 995 The Possibility of Surpassing Saints

Gu An was not only spying on the Heavenly Emperor, but also trying to understand the mindset of those high and mighty Heavenly Sovereigns.

The Supreme Beings of the Heavenly Dao are ethereal and rarely seen even by the gods and immortals of the Heavenly Court. However, the Supreme Beings of the Heavenly Dao are an extremely important part of the Heavenly Court and its foundation. Every time the Heavenly Emperor cleanses the Heavenly Court, he leaves a chance for survival for those who have made great contributions, and the Supreme Beings of the Heavenly Dao are among them.

The Supreme Beings of the Heavenly Dao hold a position comparable to the Heavenly Emperor within the Heavenly Court, and do not need to assume any celestial duties, making them truly carefree. However, they are bound to the destiny of the Heavenly Dao and cannot stand idly by while the Heavenly Dao suffers damage.

As expected, those Heavenly Sovereigns also felt uneasy. Some were even more anxious than the Heavenly Emperor and had already begun to deploy measures to gather more intelligence.

Gu An suddenly realized that the Heavenly Emperor was quite capable; the cohesion of the Heavenly Dao was unmatched by any other force in the Chaos.

When the demon realm he attacked was in dire straits, it fell apart. Some hid, some fled, and those who chose to fight to the death were no longer a force to be reckoned with.

Gu An observed the celestial beings' opinions on the matter while landing on the back of a divine steed.

This divine steed was rather small in size, but compared to Gu An, it was like Mount Tai.

Its coat is silvery-white, and apart from the red hair around its four hooves, at first glance it is not much different from a white horse in the mortal world, except that it is larger and more majestic.

Standing on the spine of the divine steed, Gu An could sense its divine power and the cause and effect it possessed.

This divine steed can connect with the river of time; standing on its back allows one to observe the river of time, and if someone stands in front of it, the rider can see the other person's past and future at a glance.

A very mysterious ability!

Different divine steeds can form special celestial armies based on their own abilities, so in the Heavenly Court, obtaining a divine steed is a matter of great prestige for beings with less seniority.

Gu An rode forward on his divine steed. As soon as the steed moved, wind and thunder roared, instantly attracting the attention of the immortals and gods. This made them even more eager to see what kind of divine steed they would choose.

The divine steed rapidly shrank, and soon he rode it, traversing the Heavenly Court, crossing the Great Dao, and returning to the Boundless Continent.

After returning to the mortal realm, the divine steed had adapted to Gu An's physique. Its hooves trod on the country lanes, attracting the attention of many disciples of Wushi. When they saw that it was their patriarch, they were not surprised. Their patriarch always had leisure time, and they were already used to it.

However, the eyelids of those immortals whose cultivation had been suppressed twitched wildly.

They truly are immortals!
Those immortals and gods who were later suppressed were unaware of Gu An's ascension to immortality. They still harbored resentment towards Gu An, but now that they saw Gu An riding a divine steed, they completely dispelled their resentment and were replaced by fear and trepidation.

Their cultivation far surpassed theirs, and they also came from the Heavenly Court.

They wouldn't have trespassed into the Heavenly Dao Supreme's Daoist abode, would they?
This speculation sent chills down their spines.

When the Heavenly Dao faced the threat of chaos, the Wushi Continent was also experiencing its own story. Some beings came to seek refuge, while others came to cause trouble.

Today, Zhongtian is no longer a place primarily focused on survival. Order has been established here, and more struggles are now for power. Of course, Zhongtian also has more ambitious individuals, and the practice of accumulating merit and striving for advancement has become a tacitly accepted rule among all beings.

Gu An rode his divine steed around the dojo, feeling quite content. Along the way, he encountered disciples such as Su Han and An Zizai. Since they were close to Gu An, they naturally didn't hold back and surrounded him to inquire about the divine steed.

Gu An didn't hide anything and gave a brief introduction.

When the disciples asked for a divine steed, Gu An told them to become immortals first, which immediately dampened their enthusiasm.

They weren't stupid, but they wouldn't follow Gu An to become an immortal, because they knew that their ancestor was just acting on a whim.

The patriarchs could break free from the Heavenly Court's fortune at any time, could they?

The disciples who have survived to this day have basically solidified their faith and will no longer be swayed.

After wandering around the Wushi Dao Temple for most of the day, Gu An finally returned to Wuzhong Mountain to rest.

He doesn't need rest, but he has a habit of sleeping and dreaming. However, his current dreaming is a form of creation, and his occasional thoughts always influence the Heavenly Dao and Chaos. These influences are not seen through by powerful beings; even the Heavenly Emperor would only think they are creations of the Heavenly Dao.

The next morning, Gu An rode his divine steed back to the Heavenly Court. For the Heavenly Court, his departure was not long.

When he returned, the group of immortals and gods were still selecting divine steeds.

Gu An released the divine steed back into its cloud realm, and then returned alone to the Heavenly Palace of the Divine Steed of Merit.

The Heavenly Palace of Merit and Virtue is magnificent and exudes a natural Daoist aura. Even if you do nothing here, it is still a form of cultivation.

He sat in the head seat, waiting for someone while observing the chaos.

That demon realm has been reduced to ashes. Perhaps many demons escaped, but the fate and destiny of this demon realm have been scattered, and it will never appear again.

The great world that Gu An created was more than half dead and injured, and the heavens and earth were collapsing.

He went with the flow, letting that broken world slowly head towards destruction.

To the powerful beings of Chaos, this was a complete annihilation of both the innocent and the guilty. They did not understand it and were therefore filled with apprehension.

Fighting is understandable, but fighting without expecting anything in return would make even the most skilled cultivator tremble.

Will their lineage, family, and race also suffer such a calamity?

Gu An's move, even if not specifically targeted at Cang Ming, still shocked Cang Ming. The various battlefields on the edge of the Heavenly Dao have come to a halt, and the Heavenly Court has not taken the opportunity to pursue them. They are also worried about more threats from Chaos.

He also brought a period of peace to the Heavenly Dao, giving the Heavenly Emperor more time to think and the Heavenly Dao time to recuperate.

"Tsk tsk, how can Heaven function without me?"

Gu An muttered to himself, a playful smile on his face.

He now had even greater expectations for the Heavenly Emperor.

He hoped that the Heavenly Emperor could become a saint.

This change in mindset was not because his feelings for the Heavenly Emperor had deepened, but because Gu An had seen the possibility of surpassing even a saint.

If he surpasses the saints, while the Heavenly Emperor cannot become a saint, then that would be a great pity.

After a while, a figure strode into the Heavenly Palace of the Divine Steed of Merit.

The newcomer quickly arrived at the steps, knelt down, and cried out, "Heavenly Lord, please save the Immortal of Merit!"

The visitor was none other than Xuanqing Xingjun, whose sorrowful voice was heartbreaking.

When Gu An saw Xuanqing Xingjun like this for the first time, he found it amusing, but his face remained calm and composed.

"Star Lord, please rise and speak. Why does the Immortal of Merit need to be saved?"

Gu Anming asked the question knowingly. He had come today to resolve this karmic issue and, incidentally, to accumulate lifespan.

To transcend the Primordial Chaos True Saint realm, that cannot be achieved simply by harvesting medicinal herbs.

Xuanqing Xingjun looked up and quickly said, "A group of merit immortals have encountered danger. They are in chaos and may not be able to protect their own destiny. They are the few merit immortals who can maintain their will before ascension. If they perish, merit immortals will eventually blend into the dust and become immortals that are not much different from other immortals and gods."
