In his early years as a household servant, Gu An inadvertently broke a jar filled with Spirit Flowers, leading to a shocking revelation—he gained twelve additional years of life!
This unexpected discovery set him on a journey toward immortality. Seeking a serene environment for cultivation, Gu An became a Servant Disciple at the prestigious Supreme Sect, where he dedicated himself to nurturing medicinal plants, extracting their life essence for his own use.
As he mastered the intricacies of life essence, his Basic Skills evolved, advancing all the way from Basic Sorcery to divine techniques that connected him with celestial powers. Throughout the ages, as the stars shifted and the Mortal World underwent dramatic transformations, tales of his immortal feats began to circulate.
With immense dedication, Gu An sacrificed a portion of his own life span to push his cultivation beyond the boundaries of the Immortal Path, ultimately attaining the revered status of a Saint and stepping beyond the constraints of worldly laws.
One fateful day, an elderly man clad in white, radiating an aura of sanctity, approached Gu An.
"I am Xuan Qing, sent from the Heavenly Stars by the Heavenly Emperor Tai Hao. Your numerous acts of kindness and your efforts to aid countless beings in the Mortal World have been noted; your merits are grand indeed. I am here to invite you to ascend to the ranks of the immortals and assume the office of the Divine Steed Celestial Official."
Curious, Gu An inquired, "What responsibilities come with the title of Divine Steed Celestial Official?"
Without hesitation, Xuan Qing replied, "In the Heavenly Court, there exist divine steeds that traverse the realms and weave through Yin and Yang. As the Divine Steed Celestial Official, your duty will be to care for and nourish these celestial creatures."
Wait, did he just say he would be taking care of horses?
