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

The Blood Prison Great Saint and Sin have been gone for a millennium, traveling in the Human World. Time passes slowly, but for the disciples in the dojo, it seems like they were only gone for a day.

During his travels in the Human World, Sin broadened his understanding. He encountered all sorts of things, saved lives, was deceived, and even killed people. He also had conflicts with major sects.

However, all grudges disappeared when he returned to the Daoist Field of the Beginningless, because no one could forcefully charge against Sin.

These experiences made him grow a lot, and he began to contemplate what kind of person he wanted to become.

The Blood Prison Great Saint followed Sin, saying he wouldn't interfere, but when faced with the siege of major sects, he couldn't stand by and took action. This also eased his relationship with Sin.

Those two quieted down, but among the third generation disciples, a fearless one emerged. Gu An didn't feel annoyed but found it interesting.

After all, he wouldn't teach the third-generation disciples or the fourth-generation disciples; watching their antics had its own charm.

Thirty thousand years later.

The Celestial Spirit Great World welcomed an unexpected guest.

In the depths of the cosmos, at the World Gate, the Celestial Spirit God awaited the visitors.

The World Gate emitted brilliant light, as bright as the sun. From the intense light within the gate, a figure slowly walked out.

Feeling the other's Celestial Dao Destiny, the Celestial Spirit God raised his hand in salute and said, "The Celestial Spirit God greets the Immortal Monarch. May I know why the Immortal Monarch has come?"

"I am Yin Xuan Immortal Monarch. I've come for the grand cause of the Xuanyuan Human Venerable, the Son of Heaven. I've also come to seek Immortal Fate for the living beings of this realm."

A voice came from the intense light, with a tone that was indifferent yet filled with undeniable pride.

As the voice fell, a man in black robes stepped out from the intense light. He was tall and imposing, with two purple pythons coiled around his waist. The python heads wrapped around his back, raised high above his head like two colorful ribbons fluttering behind him.

Hearing Yin Xuan Immortal Monarch's words, the Celestial Spirit God's expression remained unchanged. He replied, "The Celestial Spirit Great World does not wish to meddle in the contention for the Son of Heaven."

If it were before, he would have hesitated. But now, with Gu An supporting him and Gu An's disciple in the Immortal Class, what did he have to fear?

Whether inside or outside the Celestial Court, he possessed confidence.

Yin Xuan Immortal Monarch's gaze fell upon the Celestial Spirit God, as if trying to see through him.

The Celestial Spirit God fearlessly met his gaze. As the intense light within the World Gate faded, Yin Xuan Immortal Monarch was gradually engulfed by darkness, making him appear less like an Immortal God and more like an evil god.

"May I ask whose domain this realm belongs to?" Yin Xuan Immortal Monarch asked.

Being refused by the Celestial Spirit God didn't anger him, for he understood the message the Celestial Spirit God was conveying.

This guy had backers!

The Celestial Spirit God frowned, not expecting the other to pursue the question.

At that moment, a figure appeared behind the Celestial Spirit God, and the Immortal Light emitted from him caught the corner of the Celestial Spirit God's eye, causing him to turn his head instinctively.

"I was wondering who it was, so it's Taiyi Immortal Monarch."

Yin Xuan Immortal Monarch's voice rang out. Looking at Taiyi Immortal Monarch behind the Celestial Spirit God, he smiled.

He wasn't afraid of the Celestial Spirit Great World having backers; he was only afraid if the backers of the Celestial Spirit Great World wanted to support the rival Son of Heaven.

Taiyi Immortal Monarch spoke, "Yin Xuan Immortal Monarch, the Celestial Spirit Great World was once under an order of destruction and has been removed from the registry of the Three Thousand Great Worlds. Although it will be restored in the future, for now, it doesn't count in the Son of Heaven contention."

Yin Xuan Immortal Monarch laughed, "Since you put it that way, I'll indeed give some face."

Taiyi Immortal Monarch nodded slightly.

The Celestial Spirit God silently stepped aside, not obstructing the view of the two Immortal Monarchs.

Yin Xuan Immortal Monarch and Taiyi Immortal Monarch were clearly acquainted. However, the atmosphere between them was somewhat tense, making the Celestial Spirit God feel a sense of impending conflict.

"What's this? Does Yin Xuan Immortal Monarch have further teachings to impart, or does the Human Venerable have additional instructions?"

Taiyi Immortal Monarch asked as he took a step forward, his aura bursting forth, causing the Celestial Spirit God's expression to change.

Yin Xuan Immortal Monarch laughed, "No, I was just curious. It's said that the Son of Heaven descended to this great world. I wonder if it's true or false."

"If it's true, do you want to investigate the Son of Heaven?" Taiyi Immortal Monarch pressed, his attitude arrogant and domineering.

"How could I dare? Forget it, consider it my intrusion."

Yin Xuan Immortal Monarch shook his head, smiling, then turned and walked towards the World Gate.

His Celestial Dao Destiny activated the Dao Intent within the World Gate, causing a burst of Heavenly Dao light to erupt, once again illuminating the cosmos.

Taiyi Immortal Monarch and the Celestial Spirit God watched him walk into the World Gate. Only when his presence completely disappeared did they look at each other.

The Celestial Spirit God hesitated to speak.

Taiyi Immortal Monarch's expression became calm. He said, "If we don't act strong, he would surely return. Only by showing no fear of the Son of Heaven can the Son of Heaven behind him have apprehensions. After all, right now, the Son of Heaven's opponent is another Son of Heaven; we cannot afford internal conflicts."

The Celestial Spirit God found this reasonable and stopped asking questions.

Taiyi Immortal Monarch turned and left, leaving behind a parting remark, "More Immortal Gods will descend to the lower realm. Be prepared."

Before his words completely faded, Taiyi Immortal Monarch disappeared.

The Celestial Spirit God wasn't worried. Instead, he thought that this guy was better at dealing with situations, no wonder he became an Immortal Monarch.

"Even the path of an Immortal Official requires talent,"

The Celestial Spirit God lamented in his heart, then shook his head and walked towards his meditation spot.

Far away in the Daoist Field of the Beginningless, Gu An was very pleased with Taiyi Immortal Monarch's attitude. He didn't need to instruct him; he already knew how to handle things.

Neat, smart.

As for Xuanyuan Human Venerable behind Yin Xuan Immortal Monarch, Gu An wasn't concerned, just a Miao Zhen Daluo Immortal.

"Ancestor, how do you see my Sword Intent?"

Shangguan Xian'er, standing in front of Gu An, asked. She held a wooden sword, its blade imbued with Sword Intent.

Gu An was sitting on the steps carving a wooden statue and casually replied, "Not bad."

"Ancestor, could you be more attentive? No matter what I show you, you always say 'not bad,' but I can never rank in the top three among the third-generation disciples,"

Shangguan Xian'er pouted, her tone aggrieved and dissatisfied.

Gu An actually liked her attitude. The other third-generation disciples were too respectful and even reserved around him, only Shangguan Xian'er dared to show some emotions in front of him.

Shangguan Xian'er was very smart and knew her limits. Every word she said was rehearsed in her mind.

Gu An could hear her inner thoughts and didn't think she was hypocritical or pretentious; as long as she didn't harm others, what was wrong with using clever means to get closer?

"How about you go out to train like Sin?" Gu An looked up at her and smiled.

Shangguan Xian'er immediately shook her head and said, "I won't go out. I have no enemies or family outside, so why go out?"

Going out isn't that easy to return.

Shangguan Xian'er thought to herself, not everyone could be like Sin and the Blood Prison Great Saint, and there were too many entanglements in the Red Dust. She was afraid of getting caught up in them. Rather than forming unnecessary karmic ties outside, she preferred to stay and focus on cultivating.

Her goal was to become a powerful being like her Ancestor, not to get married and start a family, and certainly not to form unnecessary relationships with karmic repercussions.
