Gu An is not only watching the Celestial Emperor but also observing the mindset of those high above, the Celestial Dao Venerables.

The Celestial Dao Venerables are elusive and ephemeral, even the Heavenly Court Immortals rarely see them, yet they are a crucial part of the Heavenly Court, its foundation. Whenever the Celestial Emperor purges the Heavenly Court, he leaves a lifeline for those with great merit, and the Celestial Dao Venerables are such.

In the Heavenly Court, the status of the Celestial Dao Venerables is on par with the Celestial Emperor, and they do not need to take on Immortal Positions, hence they are truly carefree. However, they are bound to the Celestial Dao Destiny and cannot let the Heavenly Dao be harmed.

Sure enough, those Celestial Dao Venerables also feel uneasy, with some even more anxious than the Celestial Emperor, already starting to deploy means to gather more intelligence.

Gu An suddenly thinks that the Celestial Emperor is quite capable, as the cohesion of the Heavenly Dao far surpasses that of other chaotic powers.

The Demon Realm attacked by him fragmented amidst the desperate situation, with some hiding, some fleeing, and those opting for a death struggle failing to sustain the momentum.

Gu An, while observing the perceptions of the Heavenly Court Immortals on this matter, lands on the back of a divine steed.

This divine steed is small in stature, yet compared to Gu An, it is akin to Mount Tai.

Its fur is silvery white, except for a ring of red hair around its four hooves. At first glance, it doesn’t differ much from a mortal white horse, except for its larger size and nobler appearance.

Standing on the spine of the divine steed, Gu An can sense the divine power and cause and effect it possesses.

This divine steed can connect with the River of Time; standing on its back allows one to observe the River of Time. If someone were standing in front of it, the rider could see the other’s past and future at a glance.

Quite a mystical ability!

Different divine steeds can build special celestial armies based on their abilities, so within the Heavenly Court, owning a divine steed is something very prestigious for beings with shallow qualifications.

Gu An steps forward on the divine steed, and as the steed moves, the sound of wind and thunder attracts the attention of the Immortal Gods, making them more eager to select what kind of divine steed they might choose.

The divine steed quickly shrinks, soon turning into a steed that Gu An rides out of the Heavenly Court, crossing the Great Dao, returning to the Wushishi Continent.

Back in the Human World, this divine steed has adapted to Gu An’s size, its hooves stepping on the country paths, attracting the gazes of many Wushiji Disciples. Seeing it’s the forebear, they are no longer surprised. The forebear always has leisure, and they have long been accustomed to it.

Yet those Immortals whose cultivation was suppressed have their eyelids twitching wildly.

Indeed, he is an Immortal!

Those Immortals who were suppressed later did not know of Gu An’s ascension to immortality, holding grudges against Gu An. Now seeing Gu An riding a divine steed, they completely dispel their grievances, replaced by fear and trepidation.

His cultivation far surpasses theirs, yet he also emerges from the Heavenly Court.

Will they intrude upon the Dao Field of the Celestial Dao Venerables?

This speculation makes them shudder with fear.

When the Heavenly Dao faced chaotic threats, the Wushishi Continent was also experiencing its own stories, with beings seeking refuge, and others coming to cause trouble.

To this day, Central Heaven is no longer an era of mere survival; there is order here, and more struggles for power. Of course, Central Heaven has more people of ambition, with merit rising being the accepted rule by all beings.

Gu An rides the divine steed, leisurely roaming within the Dao Field, encountering disciples like Su Han, An Zizai along the way. They are close with Gu An, so naturally, they have fewer reservations, gathering around to inquire about the divine steed.

Gu An does not conceal anything, briefly introducing it.

When disciples request a divine steed, Gu An tells them to ascend to immortality first, causing their excitement to fizzle.

They are not foolish and will not follow Gu An to ascend to immortality, knowing the forebear is just doing it on a whim.

Forebear can escape from the Heavenly Court’s destiny at any time; can they?

The disciples remaining today have already solidified their Dao Heart and will not be swayed anymore.

After wandering in the Daoist Field of the Beginningless for half the day, Gu An returns to the Mountain of No End to rest.

He doesn’t need to rest, but he has this habit of enjoying sleep and dreams.

Though now his dreaming creates, his occasional thoughts often affect the Heavenly Dao and Chaos, and these effects won’t be seen through by Great Powers, even the Celestial Emperor will think of them merely as creations by the Heavenly Dao.

Early the next day, Gu An rides the divine steed back to the Heavenly Court; to the Heavenly Court, his absence wasn’t long.

Upon his return, those Immortal Gods are still selecting divine steeds.

Gu An returns the divine steed to its Cloud Realm, then returns alone to the Merit Divine Horse Heavenly Palace.

The Merit Divine Horse Heavenly Palace is grand, with Dao Intent surging, even doing nothing here constitutes cultivation.

He sits alone, waiting for someone while watching the chaos.

That Demon Realm has turned to ashes, though some evil demons have escaped, but the destiny and fate of this Demon Realm have dissipated and will not appear again in the future.

And the Great World created by Gu An has already half died, the heavens and earth are also collapsing.

He acts in accordance with the situation, letting the shattered Great World slowly progress towards destruction.

To the Chaos Great Powers, this is mutual destruction of jade and stone. They do not understand, hence their hearts filled with apprehension.

Slaughter can be understood, but slaughter with no returns, no matter the cultivation level, brings fear.

Will their Daoist lineage, family, and race encounter such calamity?

Gu An’s actions, even though not targeting Cangming directly, also intimidate Cangming. The battles at various edge regions of the Heavenly Dao have already halted, and the Heavenly Court hasn’t pursued further, also worried about more chaotic threats.

He can be considered to have brought a period of peace to the Heavenly Dao, providing the Celestial Emperor more time for thought and the Heavenly Dao time for recuperation.

“Tsk tsk, how could the Heavenly Dao function without me?”

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

He now harbors greater expectations for the Celestial Emperor.

He hopes the Celestial Emperor can ascend to sainthood.

Such a change in mindset isn’t because his feeling for the Celestial Emperor has deepened, but because Gu An has seen the possibility beyond sainthood.

If he surpasses sainthood and the Celestial Emperor cannot ascend to sainthood, it would be somewhat regrettable.

After a while, a figure strides quickly into the Merit Divine Horse Heavenly Palace.

The newcomer quickly arrives before the steps, kneeling directly, exclaiming: “Heavenly Monarch, please save Merit Immortals!”

The newcomer is none other than Xuanqing Star Monarch, his voice filled with mournfulness, stirring compassion.

Gu An for the first time sees Xuanqing Star Monarch in such a state, amused, but retains a calm demeanor.

“Star Monarch, rise and speak. Why do Merit Immortals need saving?”

Gu An knowingly asks, as he came today to resolve this cause and effect and accumulate life span.

Crossing beyond Primordial Taiyi True Saint cannot be achieved solely by harvesting medicinal herbs.

Xuanqing Star Monarch looks up, hurriedly saying: “A group of Merit Immortals are in peril, trapped within chaos, they might not safeguard their Heavenly Dao destiny. They are among few Merit Immortals who can retain their pre-ascension will. If they perish, sooner or later the Merit Immortals will blend with the dust, becoming an Immortal not much different from other Immortal Gods.”
