Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses Chapter 703: 695: Heavenly Ascension Stairs

Chapter 703: Chapter 695: Heavenly Ascension Stairs

Li Ya looked at the old man by the river and squinted, asking, “Who are you, sir, and how do you know ?”

The boy in coarse clothing followed and stopped, looking at them nervously. This old man had an unfathomable aura and imdiately revealed his master’s origins. Clearly, he wasn’t simple.

The old man slowly stood up, turned to Li Ya, revealing a face full of wrinkles. His eyes were so hollow that it sent chills down one’s spine.

“If I said I am an Immortal God, would you believe ?” The old man stared at Li Ya, speaking in an indifferent tone.

Li Ya raised an eyebrow and said, “Anyone who reaches Nirvana can call themselves an Immortal. There are plenty of Immortals in this world. Why wouldn’t I believe it?”

Immortal Gods!

The boy in coarse clothing was stunned, quickly removing the rope from his body and watching the old man warily.

He had experienced family destruction, so his vigilance was extrely high.

“I am the Huang Feng Immortal Monarch of the Celestial Court, ruling over the Three Thousand Great Worlds. Everything in your eyes is not even as large as my palm to .”

As the old man spoke, he raised his right hand, his gaze falling on his palm.

Such arrogant words made Li Ya frown. He also grew cautious, ready to fight at any ti.

“Throughout hundreds of thousands of years, I’ve sent people to help you nurous tis, teaching you Daoist techniques. Of course, your accomplishnts today are also due to your own strong fuyuan and the help of other benefactors. But the Immortal Gods have always been watching you.”

Huang Feng Immortal Monarch raised his eyes to Li Ya, their eyes eting. Li Ya inexplicably believed him.

Li Ya asked, “So? What do you want? Do you need to repay you?”

Huang Feng Immortal Monarch asked, “If I offer you the opportunity to beco an Immortal Class, would you take it?”

“What are the conditions?”

“After joining the Immortal Class, Cangtian will only grant you duties and divine power. I don’t need you to do anything for .”

The words of Huang Feng Immortal Monarch made Li Ya frown even more.

Li Ya stared intently at Huang Feng Immortal Monarch, as if trying to see through him.

Huang Feng Immortal Monarch continued, “To be honest, choosing you wasn’t because of your own opportunity, but because of the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable. I think the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable has a misunderstanding about the Celestial Court and the Immortal Gods. If there’s no substantive conflict, I see no need to be enemies. If you beco an Immortal God and understand the Celestial Court, you would build a bridge between the Celestial Court and the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable.”

“In the future, a terrifying cataclysm will descend, sweeping across the Three Thousand Great Worlds. We can face it together.”

Upon hearing him ntion Gu An, Li Ya’s frown instead eased.

Saying it like this, it seems true. Although he thinks highly of himself, he wouldn’t truly think he could attract the attention of the Immortal Gods.

Even though he doesn’t know where the Celestial Court is, just hearing about it, he imagines it as an unimaginably powerful force.

Li Ya asked, “If that’s the case, why don’t you just approach him directly? Can’t you find him?”

Huang Feng Immortal Monarch turned his head towards the horizon, speaking leisurely, “There is already an Immortal God by his side, and sooner or later he will be told. As for finding you, it’s just to deepen my sincerity.”

Li Ya thought for a mont and said, “Then can I talk to him first before coming to you?”

Huang Feng Immortal Monarch looked at him, smiled, and softly said, “Of course, that’s not a problem. Let first take you to see the Celestial Court.”

As he finished speaking, he suddenly swung his sleeve, sweeping away Li Ya and the boy in coarse clothing, the three disappearing together from the grass.

Far away on the Tai Cang Continent, Gu An did not stop what he was doing, continuing to pick dicinal herbs.

Profound Mysterious Zhenren followed beside him. After five hundred thousand years, he had completely mastered the Demon God Body, his cultivation reaching the Zi Zai Immortal Realm, with an even more terrifying physical strength. Gu An believed that even Daoist Zang Zizai Immortal was no match for him.

Such progress is not exaggerated, after all, the Demon God Body is a great opportunity from the Celestial Court.

Now when facing him, Gu An no longer hides behind a tiny masked figure but confronts with his true form.

Profound Mysterious Zhenren followed beside Gu An, like a Daoist child, inquiring about his cultivation doubts. Gu An listened patiently, answering every question.

After Gu An finished picking the ripe dicinal herbs, Profound Mysterious Zhenren began sowing seeds.

Gu An did not leave imdiately but waited in the courtyard, his gaze on the row of stone statues in front of the courtyard wall, all of which were Sword Venerate Divine Statues crafted by Profound Mysterious Zhenren.

When Profound Mysterious Zhenren returned to the courtyard, Gu An spoke, “Why make these stone statues? I don’t need faith, nor do I need people to always rember .”

This was the truth. His cultivation to date was not reliant on the faith of the masses or worldly rits.

“They should rember. You don’t need faith, but the world must not forget you. This is my selfish thought because I know this world isn’t so important to you. If no one rembers you, there’s no need for you to remain here.”

Profound Mysterious Zhenren spoke earnestly. The higher his cultivation level, the more he admired Gu An.

Even with a Dao Heart like his, he would yearn for the universe beyond, for other Great Thousand Worlds, but Gu An could remain reclusive here and save the world multiple tis.

After hearing this, Gu An did not respond directly but smiled, “Your kin is about to ascend to immortality.”

“Kin? Do you an Li Ya?” Profound Mysterious Zhenren asked with a frown.

He already knew the relationship between Gu An and Li Ya. Back then, he marveled at Li Ya’s luck.

Although they share the surna Li, he and Li Ya were like strangers. In his view, without Gu An’s help, neither he nor Li Ya could beco immortals.

“There are Immortal Gods wooing him, trying to persuade him to beco an immortal, supposedly to draw in.” Gu An spoke with a smile, lifting his eyes to the celestial vault, his gaze seemingly already locking onto Li Ya.

Profound Mysterious Zhenren heard the implication in Gu An’s words and asked, “Since it’s a sche, will you intervene?”

Gu An calmly replied, “Let Li Ya see the Celestial Court first. He needs to make his own choice. Even if the other party’s target is , for him, it’s a great opportunity rarely encountered in life.”

These words made Profound Mysterious Zhenren deeply respectful. Compared to Gu An’s broad-mindedness, the sches of the Heavenly Court Immortals were insignificant.

The lord of the Celestial Court is lacking; it would be better to let the senior take charge!

Profound Mysterious Zhenren looked at Gu An, thinking to himself.

…

Above the sea of clouds, Huang Feng Immortal Monarch, Li Ya, and the boy in coarse clothing appeared out of thin air.

The boy in coarse clothing collapsed directly onto the clouds. He was about to speak, but was captivated by the sight above.

Following his gaze, the celestial vault was azure, and at the top of the celestial vault, one could see the cosmic starry sky, vast and boundless, giving a fantastical sense of being in a dream.

The celestial vault rged seamlessly with the universe.

Li Ya was also drawn by the magnificent scene above, feeling that the concentration of spiritual energy here far surpassed that of the Celestial Spirit Great World.

Cultivating here for a day might equal several months in the Celestial Spirit Great World.

Is this the Celestial Court?

Huang Feng Immortal Monarch spoke, “This is not the Celestial Court, but it leads to the Celestial Court. The Celestial Court is above all realms, and cannot be reached rely by traversing the universe. One must ascend the Heavenly Ascension Stairs. In the Celestial Court, not all Immortal Gods can ascend the Heavenly Ascension Stairs. The Celestial Spirit God who guards the Celestial Spirit Great World has never stepped on the Heavenly Ascension Stairs in his life.”
