Chapter 1078: Chapter 1069: Competing at the Dao Listening
After Hongqian Ancestor spoke, other listeners cast curious glances, intrigued by Tian Hao’s master.
The master of the Son of Heaven must be extraordinary!
A few of the high-ranking Immortal Gods knew who Tian Hao’s master was, but they were also curious about Merit Suppressing God Venerable, whose reputation in the Celestial Court was exceedingly great.
Faced with Tian Hao’s inquiry, Hongqian Ancestor merely smiled and said no more.
His attitude made Tian Hao vigilant, fearing he might be an enemy of his master.
Therefore, Tian Hao did not continue to pursue the question and withdrew his gaze.
At this moment, Li Ya approached, exchanging pleasantries with An Xin and Xiao Lan, and upon seeing them, Li Ya felt completely at ease.
More than one person took the back door, and Gu An did not favor only him, which relieved his psychological burden.
What he needed to do was seize the opportunity Gu An bestowed upon him, to grow stronger swiftly and repay Gu An soon.
It’s quite shameful, having lived for so many years, he had yet to repay Gu An, not because he didn’t want to, but because there was no opportunity for him to assist Gu An.
The Immortal Gods in front of the Palace of the Polestar chatted in small groups, all feeling excited. No matter the circumstances, being selected by the Celestial Emperor meant their future would only improve.
Perhaps they even had a chance to vie for the thirty-two Celestial Emperors!
Knowing the Celestial Emperor was set to establish thirty-two Celestial Emperors, they weren’t supportive, but if they could become one of the Celestial Emperors, they would reluctantly accept it.
At the same time, they were curious about the standards the Celestial Emperor used to select listeners.
Yet as time progressed, they couldn’t find the pattern within it.
A figure flew in from the horizon, and Li Ya glanced casually over, his eyes suddenly widened in shock.
The newcomer also wielded the Heavenly Emperor Golden Order, and it was Li Xuandao.
Li Xuandao wasn’t wearing a Dragon Robe, but was dressed in an imposing white robe, fully displaying the dominance of an upper echelons figure. Even upon his first arrival at the Celestial Court, he showed no sign of fear, boldly stepping into the aura of the main character of the Heavenly Dao, despite facing a gathering of many Immortals ahead.
Just like previous arrivals, he was scrutinized by other listeners upon his arrival.
In a certain sense, despite coming from a humble background, in this moment, he already found his place in the circle before the Palace of the Polestar; he had soared skywards in one leap.
In his approach, Li Xuandao scanned the figures before the Palace of the Polestar, and when he saw Li Ya, his gaze changed subtly.
He shared thoughts similar to Li Ya, Xiao Lan, Ji Xiaoyu, An Xin, and others.
However, he wasn’t as conflicted because with Gu An backing him, he felt even more assured. Right now, even if the Celestial Dao Venerable appeared before him, he wouldn’t yield or bow his head.
Li Ya watched as Li Xuandao flew towards him, struggled momentarily, and decided not to greet him, pretending not to recognize Li Xuandao.
Although they were father and son, the relationship had been strained due to his mother’s death. Although past grievances had dissipated, they were like strangers now.
Li Xuandao landed in front of the Palace of the Polestar, not interacting with anyone, standing alone in a corner, quietly observing others.
At that moment, Xuanqing Star Monarch approached him, smiling.
“I am Xuanqing Star Monarch, entrusted by the Supreme; I will guide you through the listening session. If you have any needs within the Celestial Court, you may inform me.”
Xuanqing Star Monarch bowed to Li Xuandao, speaking with a gentle smile.
Li Xuandao raised an eyebrow, surprised and asked, “Supreme?”
“It’s the person you have in mind.”
Upon hearing this, Li Xuandao suddenly understood and was inwardly shocked.
The word Supreme sounded inherently remarkable; Gu An was actually the Supreme in the Celestial Court.
No wonder his connections could reach up to the Celestial Emperor.
Li Xuandao immediately returned the gesture, beginning an enthusiastic conversation with Xuanqing Star Monarch.
Seeing Xuanqing Star Monarch personally receive Li Xuandao, those Immortal Gods looked at him with renewed interest, curious about his background.
The Immortal Gods also heard Xuanqing Star Monarch’s words.
Within the Celestial Court, the ones closely associated with Xuanqing Star Monarch were only two; one was Xuanqing Star Monarch’s master, and the other was Merit Suppressing God Venerable.
Regardless of who it was, both held significant weight within the Celestial Dao Venerable.
After approximately an hour, after another Great Power arrived, the doors to the Palace of the Polestar suddenly opened, radiating brilliant golden light.
All the listeners turned to look, their shadows stretching out until swallowed by the golden light.
Emperor Hong Yang was the first to step forward, leading the way before others followed closely.
Zhu Xi followed at the rear of the crowd, her gaze focused on An Xin and Tian Hao. She knew these two were the master’s most prized disciples; she was determined to make an effort this time.
She was Shengtian, confident in her bones, believing she was second to none.
This time, with the Celestial Emperor lecturing, there would certainly be comparisons; she aimed to emerge at the forefront, not to let her master down!
Zhu Xi was resolute, and others were as well; there were even those filled with fervent anger, vowing to surpass everyone.
…
On the mountaintop, Gu An sat by the cliff fishing, below was the ocean, waves ceaselessly pounding, creating sprays of water.
The Great Profound Yin Dominator stood behind Gu An, observing the Celestial Emperor’s lecture.
The Celestial Emperor hadn’t deliberately blocked his observation because the Celestial Emperor was aware of his presence and knew he was following Gu An.
“This Celestial Emperor’s magnanimity exceeded my expectations; he’s indeed lecturing earnestly and already revealing the Saint’s Way. Those listeners may not necessarily achieve sainthood, but with these insights, their future cultivation paths will be eased.”
The Great Profound Yin Dominator said, his tone tinged with admiration.
Gu An did not look back, chuckling softly, “From the Heavenly Dao, you can glimpse his broad-mindedness. In his eyes, the Son of Heaven differs not from All Living Beings.”
“Is there a future Saint among them?” The Great Profound Yin Dominator asked, already seeing individuals manifesting Saint Minister characteristics.
“Yes, there will be both Wushi Saint and Chaos Saint; this batch of beings will lead future Heavenly Dao storms, even dominate Chaos.”
Gu An replied, also closely observing the lecture.
The Nine Great Dao that have already come into being have gone, along with entities like True Yuan Ancestor, who innately contain great fortunes.
During the lecture process, they formed their momentum; momentum varied, and comprehension was evident within the Palace of the Polestar.
The Celestial Emperor was also assessing these listeners.
Notably, the Celestial Emperor also selected several Immortal Gods who had already changed, wanting them to expand, prompting them to commit evil, and thus justifiably eradicating them.
Not just eliminating anomalies, but the Celestial Emperor also wanted to test the resolve of Immortal Gods; those who would waver faced equally dire ends.
Regarding such calculations by the Celestial Emperor, Gu An didn’t appreciate them, but he wouldn’t interfere. After all, employing such methods allowed the Celestial Court to remain steadfast and the Heavenly Dao to flourish. From the perspective of the results, he acted rightly, alas, a few innocents suffered.
“Recently, I’ve sensed Saints approaching, not just one; are you preparing to guard Chaos?”
The Great Profound Yin Dominator continued to inquire, having changed views about the Heavenly Dao but still not supporting it; thus, he wanted to understand Gu An’s stance.
