Chapter 630: A Glimpse of the Heavenly Court
Chapter 630: A Glimpse of the Heavenly Court
As the sun set in the west, the main city of the Heaven and Earth Sect was bustling as usual.
Inside an inn, Gu An, who had transformed into Bai Sheng, the Celestial Spirit Deity, sat by the window on the third floor, drinking. The third floor was spacious, divided into small rooms with windows, ensuring privacy even when the inn was full, without the usual commotion.
The Celestial Spirit Deity gazed at Gu An, reminiscing about the times they had traveled together, exploring mountains and rivers, and outwitting mountain bandits. At that time, Su Jin had not yet taken physical form.
Although the experience was brief, it still held a special flavor when he thought about it now.
He couldn't quite understand Gu An.
Having entered reincarnation without memories, it was understandable for him to do such things, but why did Gu An accompany him on his travels? In his eyes, Gu An was peculiar.
Gu An was the most terrifying existence he had ever encountered. In the Heavenly Court, he was merely a Celestial God, and his understanding of the Heavenly Court was also one-sided. He couldn't make any comparisons.
Such a powerful Gu An enjoyed playing in the mortal world and relished drinking with mortals.
The contrast between his combat persona and his usual self was stark, making it difficult to associate the two states of him.
Gu An looked at the Celestial Spirit Deity and smiled, "It's rare for you to take the initiative to seek me out. How is it? Isn't drinking here more interesting than sitting idly in the realm of the Celestial Gate?"
The Celestial Spirit Deity didn't answer this question. Instead, he stared intently at Gu An and said, "You don't kill me, and besides fearing the Heavenly Court, you must also have the intention of subduing me, right?"
Gu An asked in return, "How can a Celestial Court Immortal be subdued?"
"That's just my identity. Whomever my heart belongs to, I will serve. Since ancient times, within the Heavenly Court," there have been numerous Immortals with hearts inclined towards the outside world, which is why there are so many Immortal Teachings and Immortal Gates. The Heavenly Court is indeed powerful and unshakeable, but Immortal hearts are as complex as human hearts, and even under the Heavenly Rules, there are gray areas."
The Celestial Spirit Deity replied calmly, causing Gu An to fall silent.
It seemed that no matter where one was, as long as there were interests involved, there was always room for negotiation.
After a moment of contemplation, Gu An said, "First, tell me about the Heavenly Court."
The Celestial Spirit Deity's eyes filled with profound meaning as he said, "I am a Celestial God, qualified to guard the Vast Universe. But in the Heavenly Court, I am merely at the bottom. I don't have the qualifications to enter the true Heavenly Court. Since I became an Immortal, I've either been with my master, the Purple Palace Immortal Emperor, or stayed in the Heavenly Spirit Grand World. My understanding of the Heavenly Court is no more than yours."
"What I can tell you is that above the Celestial Gods are the Star Lords, whose cultivation is at least at the Taiqing Golden Immortal level. Above them are the Immortal Lords, a level I cannot fathom. Before I betrayed my master, he resided at this level. As for now, I'm not sure."
Celestial Gods, Star Lords, and Immortal Lords.
It seemed that most Immortal Lords were likely at the Kaitian Daluo Immortal Realm.
Gu An, who had reached the pinnacle of the Miaozhen Daluo Immortal Realm, was not afraid. Of course, one should never be careless, and it was best to overestimate one's opponent.
"The number of Celestial Gods in the Heavenly Court is countless. I once visited a Celestial Army's cultivation site. Do you know that there are over a hundred million Celestial Gods there? When I entered their trial realm, I realized that my talent was merely ordinary. In the eyes of the high-ranking Celestial Court, I was no different from an ant."
The Celestial Spirit Deity's expression became complex as he spoke of this.
In the Vast Universe, he was invincible, but within the Heavenly Court, he felt so insignificant. This disparity was beyond the imagination of ordinary mortals.
Gu An narrowed his eyes and asked, "How many Celestial Armies like this are there in the Heavenly Court?"
A single Celestial Army had over a hundred million Xian Tian Golden Immortals and Heng Tian Golden Immortals, and the suppression of the Heavenly Court was indeed terrifying.
Even if you added up the Golden Immortals from the Three Thousand Great Worlds, the number would still fall far short of this figure, indicating that the Heavenly Court's control extended far beyond what Gu An could fathom.
The Celestial Spirit Deity spoke softly, "There are many, but I don't know the exact number. No one knows how deep the roots of the Heavenly Court run. Only the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, who resides at the top, has full knowledge."
"Heavenly Emperor!"
Upon hearing this, Gu An did not wish to inquire further, fearing the taboo it might bring.
The mere glimpse of the Heavenly Court's power was already terrifying, and the Emperor's cultivation realm was beyond his imagination.
Gu An asked, "Since you intend to seek refuge with me, do you know what you'll be facing next?"
Seeing that Gu An didn't press further about the Heavenly Court and the Emperor, the Celestial Spirit Deity felt relieved. If they continued this conversation, he feared the Heavenly Court might notice.
"I know. Xuan Su Xian Jun and Tai Yi Xian Jun... Initially, I thought the former was here for faith, but I was utterly mistaken. They must have their eyes on Tian Hao. Since the Heavenly Spirit Sage created him, there must be some mission involved. There might even be a scheme devised by my master, the Purple Palace Immortal Emperor. I don't know what he's planning, nor do I know Tian Hao's true origins. But the fact that he has caught the attention of two Xian Jun means that even if you deal with them, greater troubles will arise in the future."
The Celestial Spirit Deity spoke calmly. When mentioning Xuan Su Xian Jun and Tai Yi Xian Jun, he showed neither fear nor worry. He believed that Gu An could handle these two Xian Jun.
"If that's the case, are you still willing to help me? Is it because of Tian Hao?" Gu An stared at him and asked.
Protected by the Heavenly Tao Karma, Gu An couldn't hear the Celestial Spirit Deity's inner thoughts. However, from his understanding of the deity, he knew he wasn't one to lie.
The Celestial Spirit Deity's eyes flickered with emotion as he said, "If I say I don't care about him at all, it would be a lie. But more than that, I also need a powerful backer. I have no chance of rising in the Heavenly Court. Moreover, the more turmoil the Grand World of Heavenly Spirits encounters in the future, the greater my guilt will be."
- Upload the necessary files and set the Space's theme.
- Wait for the Space to be reviewed and approved.
- Once approved, your Space will be officially launched.
"What I want to know now is, are you looking after Tian Hao because of fate, or do you have some plan like the Xian Jun?"
The Celestial Spirit Deity called Gu An "Your Highness," indicating a change in his attitude.
Gu An asked, "If it's because of fate, do you have a plan?"
The Celestial Spirit Deity smiled. Before coming here, he had already guessed that if Gu An had ulterior motives, he could have made his move long ago and wouldn't have waited for the Xian Jun to arrive.
Moreover, over the years, he had seen how carefree Tian Hao lived, and there were no signs of Gu An controlling him.
The Celestial Spirit Deity said, "Actually, solving this isn't difficult. With Tian Hao's talent and destiny, he can be sent to a Xian Shen even stronger than the Xian Jun. Furthermore, the Xian Jun have no reason to target the Vast Universe. Once Tian Hao leaves, they can only suffer in silence."
At this point, he couldn't help but sigh, unsure for whom he was sighing.
"Do you know of any Xian Shen worthy of trust?" Gu An asked hesitantly.
The Celestial Spirit Deity, situated at the bottom of the Heavenly Court's hierarchy, was already at his wit's end. Could he still find a way out for Tian Hao?
The Celestial Spirit Deity shook his head. "I don't know of any Xian Shen that transcendent, but I can recommend Tian Hao to the Ethereal Immortal Court. Many Xian Shen have emerged from there; it's considered a legitimate Xian sect recognized by the Heavenly Court. Behind the Ethereal Immortal Court stands a power even greater than the Xian Jun. With Tian Hao's talents, he will surely be accepted into the Ethereal Immortal Court, and the two Xian Jun wouldn't dare invade it."
"After that, we only need to withstand their retaliation once. Once they fail, we can temporarily set aside this cause and effect."
The Ethereal Immortal Court!
Gu An recalled the memories of the Eternal Emperor. The Eternal Emperor was born in a celestial mansion within the Ethereal Immortal Court but left at a young age. Later, he returned once, and from his memories, the Ethereal Immortal Court was indeed unfathomable.
The Eternal Emperor was his reincarnation in a sense, so he was also considered a disciple of the Ethereal Immortal Court.
Sending his disciple, Tian Hao, to the Ethereal Immortal Court could be seen as a cycle of cause and effect.
However, would the Ethereal Immortal Court truly accept Tian Hao?
If Tian Hao went there, would he be protected?
The Celestial Spirit Deity's understanding of the Heavenly Court wasn't deep enough, and the same could be said for Gu An's knowledge of the Ethereal Immortal Court.
