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

Chapter 709: Chapter 701: Legend of the Celestial Court

“The Great Dao was born from chaos. Since its birth, the cosmic planes have continuously multiplied and expanded. When the Celestial Court was born, no one knows. The Celestial Emperor is one of the oldest living beings. During his reign, the Three Thousand Great Worlds have been destroyed and rebuilt. In other words, the existence of the Three Thousand Great Worlds does not last as long as the Celestial Emperor’s life.”

The Infinite Void Sword Ancestor looked at the teapot on the table, speaking with a leisurely tone, while Gu An listened intently.

“Over the long years, the Celestial Emperor has had many children. The Sons of Heaven are innumerable, and perhaps there are more hidden among the Human World. The talents of the Sons of Heaven are very high. As their cultivation level increases, their ambitions naturally grow. The struggle among the Sons of Heaven in the Celestial Court has become commonplace. I heard of such struggles even when I was in the Immortal Cave Heaven.”

“The top ten Sons of Heaven have all grown up, even surpassing the Celestial Dao Venerable. They have stayed in the position of Son of Heaven for too long, and their ambition has led them to covet the position of the Celestial Emperor. But as long as the Celestial Emperor remains, it is difficult for the Celestial Court to fall into chaos. The Celestial Emperor’s favor towards a Son of Heaven influences the camp of the Immortal Gods. Some Sons of Heaven capture the Celestial Emperor’s favor just by meeting him once, while others are cast into reincarnation for offending him, implicating the Immortal Gods who were close to them.”

“Of course, there is another situation where after being abandoned by the Celestial Emperor, he still keeps them in mind. This happened a long time ago, so some Immortal Gods try to recruit those Sons of Heaven reincarnated in the Human World to gain maximum benefits.”

“The Celestial Emperor’s heart is unfathomable by Immortals or Gods. The Celestial Emperor holds the greatest celestial power and can dismiss the destiny of Immortal Gods. He has even executed many Sons of Heaven. For ambitious Immortal Gods, the struggle in the Celestial Court is unpredictable in fortune and calamity. Your disciple probably once received the Celestial Emperor’s favor, which is why some Immortal Gods tried to recruit, leading to dissatisfaction among other Sons of Heaven.”

The words of the Infinite Void Sword Ancestor left Gu An deeply moved. The struggle between the Celestial Emperor and the Sons of Heaven was strikingly similar to the Human World’s Royal Family battles, only more cruel and complex.

“Some Celestial Gods, upon just being promoted to Star Monarch, are recruited and forced to take sides. Until their demise, they don’t even realize they died due to the Sons of Heaven’s struggle. Although the Celestial Court is the place of highest authority on the Great Dao, how different are the Immortal Gods at the bottom of the Celestial Court from mortals? Merely stronger, but their life and death are equally beyond their control.”
