Chapter 810: Ten Immortal Positions
Chapter 810: Ten Immortal Positions
The final battle between Grand Immortal Tai Xian and the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign ended with the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign emerging victorious. Grand Immortal Tai Xian was utterly annihilated, and there was no hope of resurrection.
Afterward, the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign stood alone in the shattered void, gazing upward as if looking toward the Fate-Enshrouded Heaven.
The Celestial Emperor's final battle lasted a full day and night. For their realm, this duration was considered short, and Zhuang Xian watched with great interest.
Although he could not always see the details of the two Celestial Emperors' battle, he still found it fascinating, as if witnessing the evolution of a myth.
Gu An put away the Seven-Star Mirror, and the image before them dissipated.
He stood up and stretched.
Zhuang Xian quickly rose, looking nervously at Gu An.
Was it time to begin cultivation?
He was both excited and anxious about being personally taught by the Ancestor. He feared disappointing the Ancestor, for he was not the most insightful among his peers, and his talent was often overshadowed by his fellow disciples.
Gu An looked at Zhuang Xian and smiled. "I will only teach this once. How much you understand is entirely up to your own creation."
This made Zhuang Xian even more nervous, and he could only nod cautiously.
Sunlight filtered through the bamboo grove, casting a peaceful glow over them, symbolizing a tranquil and beautiful moment.
...
The Emperor's Contention had ended. For the beings of all realms, the Emperor's Contention concluded when their great world was no longer plagued by demons.
However, for the various sects, the real highlight came after the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign's victory.
Would the Celestial Emperor fulfill his promise? Would they have the chance to become immortals?
In the end, the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign did not disappoint. He selected a group of distinguished Great Cultivators to join the Heavenly Court and sent Elder Immortal Ci Xuan to traverse the Three Thousand Great Worlds to reward them according to their merits.
A thousand years had passed since the Celestial Emperor's final battle.
In late summer of that year, the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign visited Gu An, accompanied by Elder Immortal Ci Xuan.
Gu An sent An Zizai to receive them, and they met again at the Mountain-Watching Pavilion.
Before leaving, An Zizai couldn't help but glance at the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign. This person was a Celestial Emperor!
He had his suspicions.
The Emperor's Contention had ended, so why was the Celestial Emperor visiting the Great Grandmaster?
Could it be that the Great Grandmaster played a crucial role in the Emperor's Contention?
An Zizai suddenly recalled a recent legend about a divine sparrow with a Qicai Halo that had swept through the Three Thousand Great Worlds, slaying countless demons and turning the tide of the Emperor's Contention.
With these thoughts, he left, not daring to disturb Gu An's conversation with the others.
After he left, the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign bowed respectfully to Gu An, his posture much lower than the last time he visited.
Elder Immortal Ci Xuan followed suit, his gaze filled with gratitude and reverence.
When he had come to seek Gu An's help, he had hoped Gu An could assist the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign, but he never imagined that Gu An could single-handedly turn the tide, even defeating the Daoji Grand Immortal of the Heavenly Court.
In the end, Gu An himself did not come, but a single divine sparrow was enough to change everything, a feat that seemed impossible.
"Let's sit and talk."
Gu An smiled and waved his right hand, an invisible force lifting the two immortals, making them instinctively straighten their backs.
They followed Gu An and took their seats.
The Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign looked at Gu An and asked, "May we see the divine sparrow?"
Elder Immortal Ci Xuan, who had been pouring tea for Gu An, also looked at him expectantly upon hearing the request.
Gu An smiled, raised his right hand, and a Qicai Halo flew in from outside, landing swiftly on his arm.
The halo dissipated, revealing the form of the Primordial Divine Sparrow. It was about the size of a chicken, majestic but not quite what the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign and Elder Immortal Ci Xuan expected from a sparrow that had roamed the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
"What is the origin of such a spiritual creature?" Elder Immortal Ci Xuan asked curiously.
The Primordial Divine Sparrow perched on Gu An's arm, shaking its head and nodding, looking rather silly. Despite its appearance, it was a being capable of repelling a Daoji Grand Immortal, and Elder Immortal Ci Xuan did not dare to underestimate it.
Gu An stroked the Primordial Divine Sparrow's head and smiled. "It has no great origin, just a creature that has been cultivating by my side."
These words left the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign and Elder Immortal Ci Xuan in awe.
Just by cultivating by his side, it could achieve the rank of Daoji Grand Immortal?
What a bold statement!
Even in the Heavenly Court, it wasn't just a matter of cultivating for a long time to reach the Daoji Grand Immortal. Achieving that rank required immeasurable merit, something the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign himself had yet to consider.
Gu An raised his right hand, and the Primordial Divine Sparrow flew away.
"What brings you here today?" Gu An asked.
Gu An was satisfied with the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign's actions after his victory. At least he had not deceived the people. He had truly opened a path to immortality, and the Three Thousand Great Worlds had not been destroyed and recreated, indicating that the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign had exerted his influence in the Heavenly Court.
The Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign said, "Ancestor, your assistance was invaluable. I must come to thank you. I am willing to offer you ten immortal positions. What do you think?"
Ten immortal positions!
Gu An couldn't help but marvel. No wonder the Taiyi Immortal Lord was so determined to support the Celestial Emperor. The relationship was truly significant.
How many years would it take for the Three Thousand Great Worlds to produce a Xianshen?
The Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign offered ten positions, and Gu An knew these were not ordinary Celestial Deity positions but Star Lord positions.
"The Jade Emperor's Seal is enough." Gu An shook his head and smiled.
The Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign said seriously, "The Jade Emperor's Seal was to request your assistance. What I am offering now is the reward for your victory. It is something I should give."
"That's right, Ancestor. If you can't decide now, you can accept it and give the opportunity to your disciples when they are ready." Elder Immortal Ci Xuan added.
The Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign waved his sleeve, and ten Jade Authority Slips appeared on the table, each inscribed with the words "Star Lord."
Gu An did not refuse and asked, "Your Highness, how do you plan to treat the Three Thousand Great Worlds?"
The Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign was inwardly startled. How did the Ancestor know he could rule over the Three Thousand Great Worlds?
This was a recent reward from Heaven, giving him dominion over the Three Thousand Celestial Deities and the support of various Xianshen from the Three Thousand Great Worlds, significantly expanding his power.
However, he was only startled and did not overthink it. Given the Ancestor's cultivation, deducing this much was not impossible.
The Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign began to outline his plans. He saw great potential in the Three Thousand Great Worlds and intended to develop them, making them an essential part of the Heavenly Dao. This would bring unprecedented prosperity to the Three Thousand Great Worlds and lead them to a grand era.
They talked for a long time. Most of the time, Gu An listened, while the Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign and Elder Immortal Ci Xuan observed his expressions, fearing he might be dissatisfied.
The Xuan Yuan Human Sovereign indeed saw great potential in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, but the most important thing was to win over Gu An.
The Three Thousand Great Worlds were significant with Gu An's presence!
