Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Chapter 769: Chapter 761: Life Span of 20 Quadrillion Years!

In the grand hall of Guangfa Immortal Palace, it was silent. Those previously impassioned disciples were all silent, each with an unsightly expression, tinged with a bit of embarrassment.

Guangfa Taiguang Divine Venerable swept his gaze over everyone in the hall, his eyes indifferent. Searᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Clearly, the disaster of the Tianzi Contest is much more significant. How many beings can the Dark God harm? How many beings will the Tianzi Contest affect? Even if the Three Thousand Great Worlds can be reopened and remodeled, what about the beings that died? They will merely be replaced by new life. If the Tianzi Contest is not resolved soon, other evil gods will continue to emerge!”

Suddenly, a voice echoed throughout the great hall, catching the attention of the Immortal Gods.

Celestial Destruction God raised his eyebrows, showing a surprised expression, for the speaker was none other than Li Xuanmiao.

Li Xuanmiao, a person who had ascended, had the least experience among the Immortals present, yet he dared to utter such blasphemous words. Wasn’t he afraid that some Immortal Gods among them were subordinates of the Son of Heaven?

While being surprised, Celestial Destruction God also felt a sense of admiration.

From a young age, he considered his bravery unparalleled in the world, but after arriving at the Celestial Court, he became cautious, gradually losing his sharpness and becoming like those detestable Immortal Gods, bullying the weak. Li Xuanmiao’s comments voiced his thoughts, but he could never say them aloud.

Under the gaze of hundreds of Immortal Gods, Li Xuanmiao was unafraid, staring directly at Guangfa Taiguang Divine Venerable.

From this moment, the subject was no longer Guangfa Taiguang Divine Venerable testing the disciples but rather Li Xuanmiao testing Guangfa Taiguang Divine Venerable, at least in Li Xuanmiao’s mind.

“Even if the disaster of the Tianzi Contest is greater, how will you change it? In this Celestial Court, only the Celestial Emperor can alter everything. Seeing the Celestial Emperor is harder than becoming a Supreme Immortal. Even if you see him, what makes you think you can convince him? Do you think no Immortal in the long years has ever suggested the same as you?”

Guangfa Taiguang Divine Venerable calmly asked while staring at Li Xuanmiao. Li Xuanmiao frowned, and the other Immortal Gods all let out a sigh of relief.

At least Guangfa Taiguang Divine Venerable hadn’t lost his mind!

Although the two current contenders for the Son of Heaven might not shake Guangfa Taiguang Divine Venerable, once the Tianzi Contest ends, that might not be the case. Historically, once the contest concludes, one side always rises, even if their final fate is tragic. In that stage, it isn’t impossible for one to have the power to challenge Guangfa Taiguang Divine Venerable.

Guangfa Taiguang Divine Venerable said, “Instead of complaining about the Tianzi Contest, why not think about how to solve the chaos caused by the Dark God? You know it’s much easier to deal with the Dark God than to end the Tianzi Contest. You bring up the Tianzi Contest because you don’t want to address the chaos caused by the Dark God, right?”

The Immortal Gods showed awkward smiles, not daring to refute.

Li Xuanmiao calmed down. Although he felt Guangfa Taiguang Divine Venerable made sense, he also thought Guangfa Taiguang Divine Venerable was avoiding the issue.

While they thought about how to deal with the Dark God, would great powers like Guangfa Taiguang Divine Venerable consider how to solve the Tianzi Contest?

He didn’t receive an answer, and Guangfa Taiguang Divine Venerable didn’t continue on that topic but instead began discussing the Great Dao origins of the Dark God. Using this topic, he continued preaching, deeply immersing the disciples in Dao Intent, gradually making them forget their troubles.

Guangfa Taiguang Divine Venerable looked at Li Xuanmiao. Li Xuanmiao had already closed his eyes, and Guangfa Taiguang Divine Venerable’s gaze was full of appreciation and worry.

“Disciple, the waters in this Celestial Court are much deeper than you think. Your arrogance can help you soar higher or cause you to fall harder.”

Guangfa Taiguang Divine Venerable raised his eyes and looked outside the hall at the celestial vault, his expression turning worried. He sighed in his heart: “Dark God… are you coming back?”

…

One hundred and fifty thousand years later.

Although the human world was still embroiled in conflict, the sky remained blue.

On this day, Gu An returned from Human World Peak, feeling quite upbeat because his lifespan had reached twenty million billion years. He planned to rest for a night and breakthrough the next day.

Returning to Daoist Field of the Beginningless, he greeted the disciples training and sparring along the way, which surprised them.

Before he could return to his abode, An Xin appeared ahead, urgently saying, “Master, the Dark Divine Sect has made a move. A Dark Heavenly God has emerged, and even the Immortal Gods are powerless against him.”

“If the Immortal Gods can’t defeat him, they will naturally retreat.”

“Aren’t you going to intervene?”

An Xin asked. In her opinion, those Immortal Gods were already above all being’s existence. If even they couldn’t deal with the Dark Heavenly God, only her master could resolve it.

If her master couldn’t solve it, they could only consider escaping.

Gu An replied, “Don’t be anxious. The Dark Heavenly God doesn’t seek to destroy the world. Moreover, it’s not yet time for me to act.”

He paused and continued, “Tell the disciples that opposing the Dark Divine Sect carries the risk of body and Dao disappearing. I may have the opportunity to avenge them, but I can’t protect them at critical moments.”

Hearing this, An Xin was reassured. Her master saying this clearly didn’t take the Dark Divine Sect seriously.

The reason he wasn’t acting now was likely to test all living beings.

“I will warn them.”

An Xin replied solemnly, then saluted and left.

Gu An continued through the woods, looking toward other Great Thousand Worlds. Besides the Celestial Spirit Great World, six Great Thousand Worlds were enveloped by the Dark Heavenly Gods.

Seven Dark Heavenly Gods had already suppressed the Immortal Gods of each world, then began releasing Destiny, seemingly preparing to establish a new Immortal God system.

The Dark God watched quietly from the Great Dao.

This Dark God had a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal’s cultivation level, posing no threat to Gu An. Gu An was waiting for the opportunity to permanently eliminate him.

Moreover, the deep crimson mist approaching the Celestial Dao Destiny had not stopped. Gu An couldn’t tell if the Dark God was related to the crimson mist. From Cause and Effect, there was no connection yet, but they both entered the Celestial Dao range around the same time. Even if there was no direct connection, they were likely related.

“Dark God… why do you feel so similar to the Heavenly Court Immortals, especially in the structure of Destiny…”

Gu An murmured as he walked.

Sitting by the tree in meditation, Duan Li opened his eyes upon hearing Gu An’s voice. Seeing it was Gu An, he quickly got up and saluted.

“Grand-disciple greets Grandmaster!”

Duan Li said respectfully, but Gu An ignored him and walked past him.

Watching Gu An’s back, Duan Li hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and following, asking, “Grandmaster, I have questions about the Destiny-Defying Divine Skill. No one in the dojo practices this skill, so I can only ask you.”

Gu An stopped. This made Duan Li even more nervous.

Looking back at Duan Li, Gu An said, “The Destiny-Defying Divine Skill is mainly about passing on the skill to others. Perhaps you could try passing it on once; it might bring you a surprise.”
