When I Achieved Sainthood, the Immortal Official Actually Called Me to Raise Horses!

Gu An shared his insights regarding Golden Extreme God and the seventy-two immortals of Jin Dong, including Xuan Su Immortal Lord and Tai Yi Immortal Lord.

When An Xin had initially mastered the Immortal Emperor’s Eye, Gu An felt she had truly matured. It was time for her to gain a deeper understanding of the higher realms and broaden her perspective.

An Xin was undoubtedly shocked. Although legends of immortals and gods had always circulated in the world, she had never imagined that so many immortals wandered among mortals.

After listening to Gu An’s explanation, An Xin remained silent for a moment before raising her gaze and asking, “Master, is Tian Hao my senior brother’s reincarnation?”

Gu An did not evade the question and simply nodded.

An Xin pursued further, “Did you guide Senior Brother to become an immortal because his fate was inherently tied to the celestial realm?”

In his past life, An Hao had possessed extraordinary talent—so much so that he never seemed like an ordinary mortal.

Gu An sighed and replied, “It can only be said that fate played its part. This was also the will of Heavenly Spirit Immortal Sovereign.”

He then recounted the history of Heavenly Spirit Immortal Sovereign, Heavenly Spirit God, and An Hao’s past, captivating An Xin, whose eyes sparkled with curiosity.

So that was the truth behind the final battle of the previous epoch. Her senior brother truly was a Child of Heaven and Earth, favored by the very heavens.

An Xin continued to ask, “Master, if Xuan Su Immortal Lord and Tai Yi Immortal Lord descend, seeking to enslave mortals or take Senior Brother away, what would you do?”

Gu An met her gaze and smiled, “What do you wish for your master to do?”

An Xin blinked and replied, “Rationally, I hope Master won’t get involved in karma. But in my heart, I want to see you clash with the immortals. I want to witness your strength firsthand.”

The arrival of so many immortals excited her.

She wasn’t thrilled about meeting immortals—she was thrilled by her master’s overwhelming power.

Even with the looming threat of celestial beings, her master still looked upon the world with amusement. Just how deep was his cultivation?

Gu An gazed at her and said, “Immortals are indeed powerful. I would not provoke them without reason.”

But if the immortals provoke you, would you kill them?

An Xin wanted to ask this, but she held back. It wasn’t out of fear—rather, she wanted to keep the suspense and anticipation alive.

As Gu An and An Xin discussed the immortals, the celestial beings wandering the mortal world finally encountered one another.

A vast lake lay surrounded by mountains. Dense forests lined the shore, and mist rose from the trees, weaving through the air like serpents.

Standing at the water’s edge, Golden Extreme God wore a grim expression, tightly gripping a long spear in his hand as he scanned his surroundings.

“Golden Extreme God, you truly are devoted to your duties. If I were Xuan Su Immortal Lord, I’d be deeply moved by your loyalty and grant you greater power.”

“Hmph, everyone knows that Xuan Su Immortal Lord has a rabid dog under his command, one who commits heinous crimes. Without Xuan Su Immortal Lord’s protection, he would have long been punished by Heavenly Punishment and reduced to dust.”

“I heard that Xuan Su Immortal Lord once descended to the mortal realm to secretly meet a mortal woman. Fearing punishment from the celestial laws, he had Golden Extreme God eradicate her mortal descendants.”

“A dignified heavenly god who does not guard the heavens but instead engages in shady dealings—it’s truly laughable.”

“Indeed. If one didn’t know better, they’d think he had yet to ascend. Why does a heavenly god need to personally act in such affairs?”

Mocking voices echoed from all directions, dripping with disdain.

Looking closely, figures emerged from the forest, their silhouettes faintly visible even on the lake’s surface.

Golden Extreme God did not react in anger. His expression darkened as he gritted his teeth and uttered six words: “Jin Dong’s Seventy-Two Immortals.”

A flicker of despair crossed his eyes. He could tell that they had come with malicious intent.

If they had merely sought to provoke him, why would all seventy-two immortals personally surround him?

As he remained silent, the figures of Jin Dong’s Seventy-Two Immortals stepped out of the mist. Their gazes locked onto him like sharp daggers, making his entire body tense.

Golden Extreme God struggled to maintain his composure. He shifted his gaze to the most imposing figure—a man clad in deep purple robes. Raising his hand in greeting, he said, “Taiyin Star Lord, what business requires the seventy-two immortals of Jin Dong to move together?”

Taiyin Star Lord was the leader of Jin Dong’s Seventy-Two Immortals. Unlike the others, he had not joined in mocking Golden Extreme God. The indifference on his face carried an air of superiority, as if he was overlooking all beings.

Facing Golden Extreme God’s inquiry, Taiyin Star Lord did not respond immediately. Instead, he walked toward him step by step. When he stopped, the two of them were separated by no more than three paces.

Golden Extreme God was broad and tall, yet Taiyin Star Lord was still a head taller. Before him, Golden Extreme God’s imposing presence seemed to diminish.

Taiyin Star Lord slightly lifted his chin, his gaze looking down at Golden Extreme God, making it impossible for him to meet his eyes.

“Did you really think Xuan Su Immortal Lord sent you here just to preach the Dao? You are a celestial god,” Taiyin Star Lord said.

Golden Extreme God’s eyes flickered as he replied, “I serve the Immortal Lord and dare not question orders. The task I received was merely to preach.”

Taiyin Star Lord’s expression remained cold. He continued, “Back then, Heavenly Spirit Immortal Sovereign didn’t just steal the World-Extinguishing Dao Pearl from Ziwei Immortal Palace.”

Golden Extreme God’s brows furrowed as he looked up at him, seemingly unaware of this matter.

“Do you think Heavenly Spirit Immortal Sovereign could have stolen the World-Extinguishing Dao Pearl right under Ziwei Immortal Emperor’s nose just by luck? That pearl contained an even greater karmic secret. That was the true reason Xuan Su Immortal Lord and Tai Yi Immortal Lord took action. The two of them have foreseen the birth of a certain existence.”

Taiyin Star Lord’s voice was soft, but his eyes turned sharp as he continued, “As of now, only the two Immortal Lords are aware of this matter, but that won’t necessarily remain the case. The fewer who know about this, the better.”

Golden Extreme God’s face changed drastically. He instinctively tried to retreat, but a golden light enveloped him, rendering him motionless. Struggling to lift his head, he saw a golden parasol floating above him.

The rest of the Jin Dong Immortals advanced toward him. Taiyin Star Lord’s gaze became even more dangerous.

“You intend to kill me?” Golden Extreme God gritted his teeth, looking directly at Taiyin Star Lord.

Taiyin Star Lord remained expressionless. “Under the brilliance of the Heavenly Dao, how could we possibly violate celestial laws? But we do need you to sleep for a while.”

As his words fell, he pressed his palm against Golden Extreme God’s chest, instantly shattering his physical body into countless golden stars.

Retracting his hand, Taiyin Star Lord gathered the golden starlight into his palm, condensing it into a golden orb.

Without hesitation, he tossed it aside. A three-headed immortal from Jin Dong caught it and swallowed it whole, chewing slowly before gulping it down.

The surrounding Jin Dong Immortals watched with amused expressions.

A female immortal turned to Taiyin Star Lord and said, “Senior Brother, we’ve searched for so many years and still haven’t found him. In my opinion, why don’t we just shatter this Grand Thousand World? If he truly exists, he will reveal himself.”

Her suggestion won the approval of many immortals.

“That won’t do. This is still a Grand Thousand World. Though destroying it wouldn’t bring us severe punishment, it would certainly draw too much attention. If you were in their place, wouldn’t you find it suspicious that such a world warranted all of us gathering here to destroy it?” an elderly immortal interjected, fixing his gaze on Taiyin Star Lord.

Taiyin Star Lord looked toward the distant sky and said, “The karma of this Grand Thousand World has been altered. However, legends about him still remain among mortals. Next, we search for Sword Master of the Dao. That being descended into this world with the Sword Master of the Dao’s existence. Perhaps his goal is the same as ours, and he should still be here.”
