Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses Chapter 990 - 982: Great Celestial Divine Steed

"Heavenly Monarch, the Grand Yan Divine Venerable who is in charge of overseeing Central Heaven wants to transfer a thousand Forbidden Soul Divine Steeds. What do you think?"

The Azure Robe Heavenly Official looked up at Gu An, asking respectfully. His na was Chang Jigong, and he was a Divine Horse Celestial Official, with an Immortal Position equivalent to an Immortal Monarch.

The giant god that expelled the Golden Armor Heavenly God earlier was transford by him.

He was also the most ambitious among the Divine Horse Celestial Officials, having visited Gu An several tis already.

"There are only ten thousand Forbidden Soul Divine Steeds in total, his tone is truly large," Gu An said casually, staring expressionlessly at Chang Jigong.

Chang Jigong spoke up, "Indeed, it is sowhat excessive. I wonder what the Heavenly Monarch thinks of Central Heaven?"

Central Heaven was created by the current Celestial Emperor, and the rit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch was also appointed by the current Celestial Emperor. He had to understand Gu An’s view on Central Heaven to avoid saying the wrong thing.

"You don’t have to guess randomly, think from the perspective of your Immortal Position, should we agree?"

Gu An’s tone did not change at all, making it impossible for Chang Jigong to understand.

Chang Jigong remained silent, lost in thought.

Gu An intentionally wanted to see Chang Jigong’s reaction. To him, benefits were not that important, and he was not afraid of offending the Great Powers within the Celestial Court. The Grand Yan Divine Venerable dared to speak so frankly, truly not taking him seriously.

Of course, this was also a kind of test.

The mind of the Grand Yan Divine Venerable was very complex, and it wasn’t just him; many Supre Immortals and Celestial Dao Venerables were watching Gu An.

The rit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch controlled all the Divine Steeds, whose roles were extrely significant, almost as much as the Celestial Army. Gu An was destined to beco soone whom other Immortal Gods would try to draw in, suppress, or sche against, even though he had already established his authority with the Golden Body Divine Venerable.

After thinking for a while, Chang Jigong said, "We cannot agree. You’ve just taken power, and if you start by letting others make demands, how can you continue to control the Divine Steeds? Each Divine Steed has an important role, incomparable to Heavenly Soldiers and Generals."

Gu An smiled, saying, "You can fully handle this matter; let see your performance. I can only reveal this much to you: I am not afraid of any existence, even the Supre."

These words caused Chang Jigong’s expression to change slightly, with a storm brewing in his heart. But outwardly, he quickly bowed and accepted the order.

Gu An waved his hand, signaling him to withdraw.

Chang Jigong turned to leave, his face showing excitent.

With such a strong Heavenly Monarch above them, perhaps their faction of Immortal Gods could hold their heads high!

Chang Jigong had ambitions of his own, and ever since hearing about the Golden Body Divine Venerable being defeated by the rit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch, he had been eager to act.

Gu An watched him leave, feeling good.

Having soone find fault was not an annoyance for Gu An but rather interesting, as he had the confidence to handle everything.

Not long after Chang Jigong left, a purple aura surged into the hall, quickly transforming into a steed covered in purple scales. Its limbs were slender, topped with two extrely long dragon horns, and a flaming gold-red mane burning at its neck, like a flowing scarf.

It didn’t look as massive as other Divine Steeds right now, but once it revealed its true form, it would be one of the foremost among the Divine Steeds.

"rit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch, ever since you Ascended to Immortality, haven’t you commanded in anything?"

The Purple Scaled Divine Steed spoke with a human voice, surprisingly female, steady and lodious, invoking endless imaginations.

Gu An looked at her and asked in return, "Great Celestial Divine Steed, if I didn’t manage you, would you feel uneasy?"

The Great Celestial Divine Steed was no ordinary Divine Steed; she was a transcendent existence at the Dao Extre Daluo Immortal Perfection Realm, one of the Celestial Court’s ten Divine Beasts.

She could command all Divine Steeds, and even the Divine Horse Celestial Officials had to bow before her.

Facing Gu An’s inquiry, the Great Celestial Divine Steed replied, "Could it be that the Heavenly Monarch has no ambitions, and the Emperor hasn’t given you a mission?"

Gu An smiled and replied, "You will know my role in the future. You don’t have to guess my thoughts; everything shall remain as it is."

The Great Celestial Divine Steed looked at Gu An, her sapphire-like eyes exceptionally clear.

Seeing her not speaking, Gu An asked, "What exactly do you want from ?"

The Great Celestial Divine Steed slowly began, "I wonder if the Heavenly Monarch has heard of Cangming?"

Cangming!

Gu An naturally knew the na. Cangming resided in Chaos, similar to an Eternal Daoist Lineage, and the Chaos Power that would bring an apocalypse to the Celestial Court in the future originated from Cangming.

Within Cangming were many ancient deities akin to the Mingji God, their Cultivation Level reaching Mixed Elent Profound Venerable Immortal.

In past years, Cangming birthed a supre being who traversed and deviously annexed Chaos Forces, making Cangming stronger and stronger.

However, within the internal realms of the Heavenly Dao, Cangming’s na was not well-known, and the sa applied within the Celestial Court.

Gu An’s expression remained unchanged as he asked, "Cangming, I’ve heard of it. What do you want to say?"

While scrutinizing Gu An, the Great Celestial Divine Steed said, "Cangming’s power has already infiltrated the Celestial Court. I don’t know who exactly, but when I observe the Celestial Court’s Destiny, I frequently sense fluctuations."

"Are you suspecting that there are Cangming agents among the Divine Horse Celestial Officials?"

Gu An followed up on her statent, capable of hearing her thoughts. She was questioning him.

The Great Celestial Divine Steed was utterly loyal to the Celestial Court, having been raised by the original Celestial Emperor. Because of this, she maintained a scrutinizing attitude towards subsequent Celestial Emperors and Celestial Dao Venerables.

Through the long eras, she had offended many entities, including the Celestial Emperor, yet survived, which made her firmly believe that so long as she acted in the Heavenly Dao’s interest, there would be a good outco.

Little did she know, those Heavenly Emperors against her were rely putting on a show.

The Celestial Emperor nurtured and employed her precisely because of her loyalty.

"There certainly are; I hope the Heavenly Monarch will keep his eyes peeled and not be used. With the new Celestial Emperor just ascending, the Celestial Court is at its most vulnerable. We cannot be careless," the Great Celestial Divine Steed said seriously, staring at Gu An.

Gu An chuckled, making no promises.

Afterward, the Great Celestial Divine Steed ntioned various anomalies regarding the Divine Steeds, to which Gu An rely listened without comnt.

After chatting for a while, the Great Celestial Divine Steed found it unenjoyable and took her leave.

Soon after, other Divine Horse Celestial Officials ca to Gu An for various trivial matters.

Gu An’s arrival affected all the Celestial Officials in this system, forcing them to infer the Heavenly Monarch’s intentions even though no new rules were set.

While interacting with the Celestial Officials, Gu An was observing old acquaintances within the Celestial Court.

Tian Hao returned to the Celestial Court, bringing Liu An and Wei Ye with him.

According to their prior destinies, Liu An and Wei Ye had no chance of encountering Tian Hao; it was Gu An who put them in front of Tian Hao, granting them the opportunity to Ascend to Immortality.

After the ergence of the new Celestial Emperor, those previously considered Sons of Heaven were most affected. No longer Sons of Heaven, they all had to be assigned an Immortal Position, and Tian Hao’s return to the Celestial Court was to accept his Immortal Position.

Observing Tian Hao, Gu An often thought of his previous life identity as An Hao.

An Hao was, in the truest sense, his first disciple, always holding a special place in his heart. He hoped An Hao could go further.

The days ahead for Tian Hao would not be easy.
