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

Seeing Gu An's silence, the Celestial Spirit God did not disturb him, after all, the method he proposed was not absolutely without problems, and if Gu An refused, he would not be in a hurry. Before coming here, he had already considered all kinds of situations.

Having decided to serve Gu An, he had to take a firm stand, thinking about problems from Gu An's perspective.

After a while,

Gu An asked, "How sure are you about getting Tian Hao into the Misty Immortal Court?"

The Celestial Spirit God replied, "I have a close friend who comes from the Misty Immortal Court. Although his status is not very high, helping Tian Hao to join the court is certainly not a difficult task. The rest will depend on Tian Hao's destiny, and we can only do so much. Individual fate still depends on one's own efforts."

Gu An thought for a moment and said, "Then let him choose."

The Celestial Spirit God raised his eyebrow, asking, "You want to tell him all this?"

"He is now grown up, qualified to choose his own fate. If he is manipulated by you and me, how are we any different from the Immortal Monarchs?"

Gu An's reply gave the Celestial Spirit God a deeper understanding of him.

It seemed that Gu An had no designs on benefiting from Tian Hao.

Being able to act according to his own wishes, without fearing the threat of the Immortal Monarchs, also showed that Gu An was very confident in his own cultivation level.

"Hmm, what do you need me to do?" the Celestial Spirit God nodded and then asked.

Gu An revealed a smile, saying, "Keep doing what you were doing before."

After hearing this, the Celestial Spirit God furrowed his brow and hesitantly asked, "Do you think I'm not qualified to help you?"

Remembering how he had been defeated by Gu An, his expression became unnatural.

"That's certainly not the case. You are a Celestial God, your duty is to protect all living beings, and I temporarily do not need you to do things for me. I have already received your intentions, and we will get along very well in the future. As for the two Immortal Monarchs, if they come, you don't need to stand up for me, I have my own ways to deal with them."

Gu An explained, which surprisingly made the Celestial Spirit God feel ashamed.

Being cast into reincarnation by Gu An, even though Gu An said it was to let him experience the thoughts of mortal spirits and to cultivate a sense of compassion, the Celestial Spirit God did not take it to heart. He always felt that Gu An did this to suppress him, to make him submit.

Now it seemed that Gu An truly cared for all living beings.

What kind of magnanimity was this?

The Celestial Spirit God could not imagine it; he had seen many Immortal Gods, but it seemed that none were capable of reaching the extent of Gu An's actions. The Immortal Gods often touted their own justice and great kindness, but their attitude towards all living beings was one of indifference, respecting fate and the rules of Heaven and Earth.

"Alright, now that we've talked about these things, it's time to properly enjoy some wine. Recently, the Qiankun Sect introduced a type of drama that exhibits mythological stories, primarily highlighting emotional expression during character dialogues, which sounds very interesting. Let's go and see it together later."

Gu An cheerfully said and then poured wine for the Celestial Spirit God.

The Celestial Spirit God felt puzzled.

With their levels of cultivation, how could a drama from the Mortal World possibly be interesting, and besides, they didn't need to go there in person; they could hear it from here.

However, faced with Gu An's invitation, he did not refuse.

In his view, Gu An was doing this for two reasons: one was to show goodwill and the other might hold deeper meanings.

Next, the two talked only about human affairs, and the Celestial Spirit God gradually relaxed, his thoughts drifting to a woman within the Qiankun Sect.

Back in the day, the three of them traveled the world together. Now, all within the same sect, even as a Celestial God, the Celestial Spirit God had a very peculiar feeling.

...

The news of the great defeat of the Innate Human Race swept across the world like a storm. The Dao Court especially promoted this news vigorously.

A legendary name once again broke into the ears of the people of the world.

Supporting Dao Sword Venerable!

After that battle had ended, the Dao Court held a discussion, and combined with the legends from the Human World, they deduced that the mysterious savior was the legendary Supporting Dao Sword Venerable.

To all living beings, Supporting Dao Sword Venerable was ancient, but to the Great Cultivators, not so distant. In the beginning, when the Great Thousand World had not yet reunited, although they were not within the Celestial Spirit Great World, they had felt the vast aura of the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable. They knew that the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable truly existed.

Not only that, but rumors about the relationship between Wushi and the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable also began to circulate. However, because many sects claimed to have a connection with the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable, the relationship between Wushi and the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable didn't cause much of a stir.

Time swiftly passed by.

A new year arrived.

Tian Hao returned to the Qiankun Sect. Before he had set foot in the Daoist Field of the Beginningless, he was summoned by Gu An. Following the sound, he arrived at a cliffside and saw that there was another person standing next to Gu An, also with their back to him.

Looking at the figure of this person, he couldn't help but be stunned, his expression turning peculiar.

This person was the Celestial Spirit God.

The moment Tian Hao saw the back of the Celestial Spirit God, an indescribable mix of emotions welled up inside him.

Gu An and the Celestial Spirit God turned together, and in the sunlight, they both radiated an otherworldly aura that seemed to merge with the Great Heaven and Earth, leaving Tian Hao inexplicably bewildered.

He came back to his senses, quickly stepped forward, and bowed respectfully to Gu An.

"Today I called you here to tell you some matters. All you need to do is listen, do not ask questions until we have finished speaking."

Gu An spoke, leaving Tian Hao feeling baffled.

After that, Gu An began with the introduction of Tian Hao's mortal identity in this life. When Tian Hao learned that the mysterious man next to Gu An was his biological father, he was shocked and wanted to ask questions, but was silenced by Gu An's gaze.

Once Gu An had finished explaining Tian Hao's mortal ancestry, the Celestial Spirit God started to recount the karma of Tian Hao with the Heavenly Dao.

Emperor Ziwei, Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable, Profound Star Immortal Monarch, Taiyi Immortal Monarch, Golden Extreme God, Seventy-Two Immortals of Jin Dong, and so on...

Hearing all these names, Tian Hao felt dizzy; he had not expected his karma to be so complex and daunting.

When he learned that in his past life he had also been a disciple of his master, he was deeply moved.

How could the master-disciple bond that spanned reincarnations not touch his heart?

Especially since he had always been the one being taken care of.

Even knowing that the Celestial Spirit God was his biological father, Tian Hao still regarded Gu An as the most important and most respected person in his life.

An hour later.

Gu An and the Celestial Spirit God looked at Tian Hao, waiting for his choice.

Tian Hao clenched his fists, his face alternating between expressions, and finally, he took a deep breath and said, "I choose to go to the Misty Immortal Court. I should be the one to resolve my own troubles, rather than always rely on you both. I will prove my worth in the Misty Immortal Court, and I also wish to Ascend to Immortality, to surpass these Immortal Monarchs. No matter their intentions, I will make them regret!"

He raised his eyes to Gu An, his gaze firm.

There was something he didn't say, but Gu An could hear it in his heart.

Gu An smiled and said, "Then I will start looking forward to the day you surpass me, hoping that in the future, you can be my pillar of support."

Tian Hao's eyes widened, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

His master had guessed his thoughts again!

The Celestial Spirit God, watching Tian Hao's interaction with Gu An, felt a tinge of envy.

Before coming clean to Tian Hao, he had to admit that he was somewhat looking forward to Tian Hao's reaction.

He had thought Tian Hao might be surprised or angry, but he never expected Tian Hao to be so calm toward him, as if it did not matter at all who his father was.
