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

Chapter 1007: Chapter 999: Arrival of the Celestial Dao Venerable

Blood Prison Great Saint took a good while before he could compose himself.

He understood that there were many great figures who had been annihilated by the master, so why dwell on it?

The dead are simply dead, never to appear again.

Blood Prison Great Saint began to wonder, what exactly was the spectacle the master had mentioned?

Could it be that the man in the black robe had come for this performance?

Blood Prison Great Saint started to quicken his pace, and soon he was moving at full speed, with the scenes around him blurring backwards, forming afterimages.

Gu An was completely unaffected, gently stroking the head of the Wushi Divine Sparrow, his gaze already reaching the endpoint they were heading for.

On a stretch of this Path of the Great Dao, there was a massive crater, as if formed by a meteorite impact.

Standing on the edge of the huge crater were dozens of figures, some as grand as mighty mountains, others as small as mortals, all exuding an aura of absolute domination over all living beings.

At this moment, all their gazes were fixed on the bottom of the crater.

At the crater’s bottom lay an egg covered in numerous golden patterns, its shell emitting a red glow, through which a silhouette could be vaguely seen. It seemed to be a person, but one with a tail as long as its body, curled up.

The True Yuan Ancestor was also standing at the edge of the crater, with a solemn expression. On his left and right stood two Daoists, who, despite being inconspicuous by his side, possessed the genuine aura of a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal.

"What on earth is this? It doesn’t look like a Heavenly Dao creature."

The Green Robe Daoist on the left of the True Yuan Ancestor asked, his aged face full of confusion.

The Yellow Robe Daoist on the right of the True Yuan Ancestor, looking relatively young, frowned and said: "This thing seems ominous, yet surrounded by so many Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals, its aura remains completely unaffected."

The True Yuan Ancestor did not speak, as he had been deducing the giant egg below, but unfortunately, he couldn’t make sense of it.

While they discussed the golden-patterned red egg, other Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals were also exchanging ideas among themselves, with none daring to act hastily.

Although the origin of the golden-patterned red egg was unknown, intuition told them that when the egg successfully hatched, it would then be the time for them to maximize their benefits.

Meanwhile, more Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals continued to arrive, landing on the crater’s edge, frowning as they examined the golden-patterned red egg.

Eventually, even figures of immortal gods appeared.

The Immortal Gods that could attain the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal level were no simple beings, and even the True Yuan Ancestor couldn’t help but cast his gaze upon them.

Boom—

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck, transforming into a silver throne, with three bright suns suspended behind the chair back. The sunlight quickly expanded, and a figure appeared on the throne—a man in a purple robe, with black hair casually draped and chest exposed, an eye-like dark red Dao Pattern appearing on his chest as large as his face.

His face was handsome but indifferent, with three silver rings hanging from his wrist and boots stepping on a crouching black cat, which had the ferocity of a tiger.

Upon his appearance, the aura, far exceeding that of the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals, enveloped the Path of the Great Dao, causing all the arrived Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals and Immortal Gods to change color.

"Greetings to the Supreme!"

An Immortal God exclaimed loudly, bowing to the purple-robed man, followed by others doing the same—all of them being Supreme Immortals, having met this Celestial Dao Venerable before.

Celestial Dao Venerable!

The Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals not belonging to the Celestial Court’s faces drastically changed. Even though they were top-tier powerhouses in their respective realms, they still felt pressured by the Celestial Dao Venerable.

The purple-robed man remained expressionless, sitting on his Supreme throne, overlooking the golden-patterned red egg at the crater’s bottom, lost in thought.

Meanwhile,

Blood Prison Great Saint hurried toward this place, experiencing a slight shift in the scene before him, seeing a group of Great Cultivators standing in the distance.

"Is there a restriction here?"

Blood Prison Great Saint asked in surprise, no wonder the person earlier hadn’t found this place immediately.

Gu An replied: "This is the Heavenly Dao’s repulsion toward outsiders and protection for the soon-to-be-born entity."

Blood Prison Great Saint’s gaze was drawn to the purple-robed man suspended in mid-air in the distance, curiously asking: "Master, who is he? Please don’t annihilate him straight away, at least tell me who he is first!"

Gu An looked up, and the Wushi Divine Sparrow on his shoulder also looked up, mimicking his posture exactly.

"A Celestial Dao Venerable from the Celestial Court, the Purple Dome Dao Emperor."

Gu An softly introduced, adding a note in his heart.

Late stage of the Primordial Profound Venerable Immortal Realm!

Such cultivation level made him a top-tier among the Celestial Dao Venerables.

The Primordial Profound Venerable Immortal was known as the most powerful entity visible within the Heavenly Dao and Chaos, while the Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao had not revealed his true cultivation, remaining well hidden.

"Celestial Dao Venerable?"

Blood Prison Great Saint immediately grew tense upon hearing this.

Could their opponent be the Celestial Dao Venerable?

That’s too exaggerated!

Even with confidence in his master, he felt that engaging in a battle right now wasn’t wise, especially since this Celestial Dao Venerable wasn’t an intruder.

Gu An didn’t speak further, nor did he ask Blood Prison Great Saint to stop.

While Blood Prison Great Saint harbored concerns, his hooves did not halt.

Their arrival caught the attention of the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals, as unlike the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals who appeared directly, there was no second like Blood Prison Great Saint who ran here.

Moreover, the Taiqing Golden Immortal level of Blood Prison Great Saint was too noticeable here.

The True Yuan Ancestor turned to look, eyes widening with delight upon seeing Gu An on Blood Prison Great Saint’s back.

He didn’t expect to see his master here.

He had always thought his master was aloof and would not get involved in the mortal world’s strife, so he never thought he would meet his master on the Path of the Great Dao.

Wait a minute.

Even his master came.

What did that golden-patterned red egg represent?

The True Yuan Ancestor didn’t speak hastily because his master had once said that his presence shouldn’t be revealed outside.

The esteemed Purple Dome Dao Emperor also noticed Blood Prison Great Saint’s arrival, his gaze falling on Gu An on Blood Prison Great Saint’s back, squinting his eyes.

He hadn’t sensed Gu An’s presence until Gu An appeared in his view.

Other Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals noticed this, causing them to have strong apprehension toward Gu An.

What cannot be seen through is the most dangerous!

"Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch, I didn’t expect even you to come."

A majestic voice spoke, the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals were astonished to find the speaker was none other than the Celestial Dao Venerable, Purple Dome Dao Emperor!

Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch?

Except for the Immortal Gods, other Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals hadn’t heard of this name.

The Supreme Immortals looked at Gu An with complex expressions; they had witnessed the scene of Gu An defeating the Golden Body Divine Venerable in secret and knew that Gu An was undoubtedly an entity surpassing the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals.

Unexpectedly, this event attracted both the Celestial Dao Venerable and the Merit Suppressing God Heavenly Monarch. Whether this was good or bad for them, they couldn’t tell.

Anyway, they wouldn’t be able to contend any further.

"Purple Dome Dao Emperor, I even foresaw you would come."

Gu An’s voice echoed, making Purple Dome Dao Emperor squint. The black cat at his feet immediately lifted its head, growling at Gu An, seemingly warning him.
