#664 - The Difference Between Immortals and Gods
After thinking it over, the Celestial Spirit finally said, "There are only two paths. First, you accumulate merit, benefit the common people, and move the heavens, thereby attracting the attention of the Celestial Court, which may reward you with a position among the immortals. Second, you abandon this great world. Although the Celestial Court is strong, the Great Dao is vast, and there are ultimately places beyond the Celestial Court's reach. The Celestial Court's bounty list has many powerful beings who have yet to be brought to justice."
His answer did not satisfy Gu An.
In other words, wasn't this just the difference between surrender and escape?
The Celestial Spirit seemed to sense Gu An's dissatisfaction and continued, "Some actions of the Celestial Court do neglect the common people, but the Celestial Court is not evil. In fact, the existence of the three thousand great worlds, where immortals and gods rarely appear, is enough to prove the strictness of the heavenly rules. Any force in the world has good and bad within it; there is no absolutely fair rule or order."
"The internal struggles within the Celestial Court are also significant, and the highly esteemed Celestial Emperor often secludes himself for long periods, rarely intervening in worldly affairs. Over the long years, countless purges have occurred within the Celestial Court, but no matter how things change, the immortals and gods are ultimately trapped by their interests. When longevity is no longer a luxury, they pursue nothing but power and status."
"In fact, joining the Celestial Court is not as unbearable as you might think, nor will you lose your so-called freedom. As long as you fulfill your duties, immortals and gods can have plenty of their own time."
Although he had submitted to Gu An, it was a forced move. In his heart, he hoped that Gu An could join the Celestial Court.
With Gu An's abilities, it would be no difficult feat for him to attain a Heavenly Dao Immortal position higher than a Celestial Lord in the future.
Gu An smiled and said, "I am not opposed to the Celestial Court, but I am cautious about the unknown. After all, even you don't know exactly where the Celestial Court is or how deep its waters are."
The Celestial Spirit sighed upon hearing this.
In the Celestial Spirit Great World, he was a high and mighty celestial god, but he had never even been to the Celestial Court. He was at the bottom of the Celestial Court's system, an existence no one cared about.
Even if he violated the heavenly rules and neglected his duties, the Celestial Court would not deal with him in the short term because the Celestial Court simply didn't care about him.
Thinking this way, the Celestial Spirit also became depressed.
He felt that he had taken the wrong path back then. If he hadn't been obsessed with the Immortal Palace treasure, how could he have ended up in such a situation?
Gu An asked with a smile, "It is said that your talent is considered outstanding among the celestial gods. Do you have any plans? Do you want to be a celestial god forever?"
The Celestial Spirit shook his head and said, "Who among those who become celestial gods doesn't have exceptional talent? Even if I try my best to cultivate, it will take a very long time to advance."
"I have a junior who is participating in the selection of celestial gods, cultivating in a celestial army. That celestial god is named Celestial Vanquisher, do you know him?" Gu An asked, thinking of Zhang Buku.
The Celestial Spirit nodded and said, "I know him. He is considered my senior. He serves Celestial Lord Huang Feng. Among the celestial gods, he is considered to have a relatively high status. The lowest status is like us, celestial gods guarding a great world, while Celestial Vanquisher is not confined to one place. His divine authority is similar to that of a God of Destruction, and his sphere of activity covers the three thousand great worlds."
The Celestial Spirit's tone was envious when he mentioned Celestial Vanquisher.
Gu An had a clearer understanding of the celestial gods.
Even among immortals and gods of the same rank, the size of their power is different.
The Celestial Spirit opened the floodgates of his words and began to talk about his past experiences serving the Celestial Court. Memories involving the Celestial Court cannot be searched, so Gu An was also very curious about his past.
The universe was silent, with stars dotted in the distance. Gu An and the Celestial Spirit, drinking in front of the world gate, seemed unaffected by time. The bowls rose and fell, perhaps marking the passage of ages.
...
In peaceful times, time passes even faster.
In the blink of an eye, another ten thousand years had passed.
The Dao Court members who had ventured to the Path of the Great Dao finally returned, and their return caused a stir throughout the entire sect.
Xiao Lan and Yuan Songzi and others stood on the clouds, looking at the masses of people below, smiles on their faces.
They were finally back!
Returning from the Path of the Great Dao, the journey was equally long and full of hardships. Only at this moment did their tense minds relax.
Seeing that the Dao Court was still strong, the Dao Court great cultivators' eyes were filled with gratification.
"Court Master, Elders, I'll leave first. My Gu-gege is still waiting for me!"
A female elder shook her head and chuckled, "This girl is as infatuated with her lover as ever. Even after going to the Path of the Great Dao and broadening her horizons, she still doesn't forget her original intention."
The other elders also smiled kindly. They were very doting on Xiao Lan, feeling that she was like a child who would never grow up.
Yuan Songzi's gaze fell on a figure below, whose aura was like a rainbow. Even standing in the crowd, he was eye-catching.
Zhao Rushen!
"He has actually grown to this point. It seems that a lot has happened in these years," Yuan Songzi thought thoughtfully.
Ji Xiaoyu's path to becoming an Emperor failed, and Xiao Lan's path to becoming an Emperor was suspended, which made him understand that the Great Dao Emperor was still far away from the Dao Court.
Looking at Zhao Rushen again, he felt that this child was not so amazing, at least not as good as the Undefeated Emperor.
Where exactly is the seedling who can become a Great Dao Emperor?
Yuan Songzi's thoughts drifted away, and his mood was a little melancholy.
At the same time.
Gu An had already returned to Xiao Lan's cave dwelling to wait. He noticed Ji Xiaoyu's expression, and he couldn't help but wonder how to help her.
The path to becoming an Emperor failed, cultivation regressed, and the Dao heart was damaged. It was the first time he had heard Ji Xiaoyu's inner voice so lonely.
He could feel Ji Xiaoyu's pride, and that was why he felt that this matter was difficult to handle.
If he could create a path of luck that was no weaker than that of the Great Dao Emperor, just like creating a Dao treasure, that would be great.
As soon as this thought came out, Gu An's eyes lit up.
This direction is not bad!
Anyway, he has plenty of time and doesn't need to cultivate hard every day. It's better to study different paths of luck.
Gu An began to think about this direction.
He first had to figure out the essence of the Great Dao Emperor.
Before long, Xiao Lan's aura entered the cave dwelling. She appeared in front of Gu An out of thin air and hugged him tightly.
"That's great, Gu-gege, you're still here!"
Xiao Lan hugged Gu An tightly and said happily, she actually cried with joy.
Don't look at her usual carefree appearance. In fact, she had been worried all along. She had been away for too long, and she was really afraid that something would happen to the Dao Court, or that Gu An would reach his limit.
"What are you talking about? Although my talent is not as good as yours, I am also working hard to cultivate. I am not so easy to die."
Gu An hummed, gently patting her back, feeling a little touched in his heart.
Thinking carefully, there had been many separations from his junior sister in this life. He knew the future, but his junior sister didn't, so it was normal to worry about the future.
It seems that he has to show his strength appropriately and reveal the tip of the iceberg to shock her!
