If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 1049 Heaven Determines Immortals
Upon hearing Hongqian's words, Zhang Buku raised an eyebrow, while Xu You was overjoyed and took the lead in thanking Hongqian.

"Put it down quickly and let's go!"

Xu You came to Zhang Bukui's side and urged him on.

Zhang Bukui remained unmoved. He tilted his head back, stared at the hand bone, and asked, "What do I need to give in return?"

"You don't need to pay anything."

"If that's the case, I can't rest easy."

Zhang Buku spoke in a calm tone, his words attracting the attention of Ancestor Hongqian.

Hongqian Patriarch believed that Gu An's arrangement of cause and effect was related to these ashes, but Zhang Buku's persistence made him have other ideas.

He could tell that Zhang Bukui wasn't lying; the relationship between Zhang Bukui and the ashes in the urn was real, and Zhang Bukui was indeed willing to give everything for his father.

Hongqian Patriarch became interested in Zhang Bukui and said, "Since that's the case, you can stay here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Bukui opened the jade urn in his hand, and the ashes inside floated up, quickly swirling around the hand bones like a whirlwind. The bones followed and fell to the bottom of the pit.

The other bones at the bottom of the pit turned to ashes, and streams of black energy surged from the soil, engulfing the hand bones where Hongqian Ancestor was located and the ashes of Zhang Chunqiu.

Zhang Buku stood up, his brows furrowed, for his divine sense was unable to penetrate the black aura.

Xu You comforted him, saying, "Since you've promised, you certainly won't lie to us."

He then transmitted his voice: "He has no reason to deceive you or me, so don't worry too much."

Zhang Buku did not answer him, but continued to stand in place, staring at the black mist in front of him.

for a long time.

Zhang Bukui withdrew his gaze, looked at Xu You, and said, "Let's wait somewhere else so as not to disturb the senior."

Xu You nodded, a smile appearing on his face. He was afraid that Zhang Bukui would get stuck on a rut.

The two turned and left, and Zhang Bukui did not look back.

Within the black mist, the soul of Ancestor Hongqian emerged from his hand bones. He assumed a meditative posture, gazing at the ashes before him, and began to peer into Zhang Chunqiu's entire cycle of reincarnations.

His expression changed drastically very quickly.

He saw a person, a person who sent chills down his spine just thinking about him.

"To think that he could be associated with a sage through the same sect, and even be called a senior brother by the sage himself..."

Hongqian Patriarch's expression turned solemn, no longer daring to underestimate Zhang Chunqiu.

He finally understood that the sage wanted to test him.

Having pursued the realm of sainthood for countless years, he was filled with awe for saints, and even after Gu An stripped his physical body, he dared not harbor the slightest hatred.

Before he became a saint, he would never dare to offend Gu An again.

Regardless of the sage's motives, he decided to comply with Zhang Bukui's request.

Even if Zhang Chunqiu had cause and effect that he couldn't see through, he was still willing to take the risk. Perhaps this was the sage's purpose, to make him test that cause and effect.

Even if the consequences were utterly disastrous, he had no choice.

He raised his right hand, a blue flame igniting in his palm. His face was icy, his eyes sharp, and he muttered to himself, "I want to see what other causes and effects I can't comprehend are hidden within this chaos, and what kind of scene lies beyond the chaos..."

ho-

The azure flames suddenly surged, illuminating the dim space and making the face of Ancestor Hongqian appear even more imposing.

……

After handing Su Han and Hong Yuan over to the Juhua Sect, Gu An continued his travels with Long Teng. Occasionally, he would take some time to go to the Wushi Dojo to pick herbs, which Long Teng did not notice.

Although Wushi has moved into the Wushi Realm, the Wushi Dojo still exists, and the Ephemeral Flower Ghost Mother still takes time to manage it. This is why she sees Gu An the most often within the Wushi Realm. The second-generation disciples didn't think much of it, after all, they also needed a lot of time to go into seclusion and comprehend the Dao. After that great fortune, each of them had profound insights that needed careful consideration.

Years are like a shuttle.

Millions of years can pass in the blink of an eye.

Zhongtian has entered a brand new era. The powerful figures who guide the world have changed. Hongxuan of Yaoguang Sacred Domain and Hongyuan of Juhua Sect are already famous throughout the world, and there are also other geniuses from powerful lineages who are enjoying boundless glory.

After breaking free from the entanglement of chaos, the Heavenly Dao entered a period of rapid development, and the number of cultivators in all realms increased, including the Primordial Profound Immortal!

Emperor Hongyang achieved the status of a Primordial Profound Immortal, his power shaking the heavens. He became the most powerful emperor, dominating the central heavens.

Inside the Heavenly Palace of Lingxiao.

The Heavenly Emperor sat languidly on his throne, with a ball of light floating in front of him, displaying scenes of the mortal world. He was observing Hongyuan.

He could see the cause and effect between Master Hongyuan and Gu An, and he could also see the relationship between Juhua Sect and Gu An. He was not afraid of Hongyuan and Juhua Sect because of this, but he was just curious about Gu An's thoughts.

Over the years, his cultivation has progressed by leaps and bounds, and he truly feels that he is very close to the realm of a saint.

The closer he got to the sage, the deeper his understanding of the Great Dao became. He was certain that Gu An was not the Supreme Dao Emperor, but the sage he sought to become.

That creation that covered the chaos must have been bestowed by Gu An, meaning that Gu An was guiding him to sainthood.

He would not, and could not, ignore such a debt of gratitude.

He dabbled in the Primordial Will in order to become a saint, but why would Gu An, who has already become a saint, interfere with the cause and effect of the Primordial Will?

Could Gu An be from the Primordial Chaos?

The Heavenly Emperor was completely baffled. He twisted his neck and suddenly felt that the Heavenly Realm was somewhat quiet.

He found that everything went smoothly after that great fortune, and his burden was much lighter, which allowed him to focus on himself.

In the past, he rarely focused on his spiritual practice as much as he had during this period, which brought him great satisfaction.

He thought about it for a moment, and then a thought struck him.

Not long after, a figure flew into the Lingxiao Palace; it was none other than Xuanqing Xingjun.

Xuanqing Xingjun arrived at the palace and respectfully bowed to the Heavenly Emperor.

The Heavenly Emperor waved his hand at the ball of light in front of him, pulling out the figures of Hongyuan and Jiang Qiong, and said, "These two can become immortals in the future."

Xuanqing Xingjun looked up and immediately began to deduce the cause and effect between the two.

Hongyuan was a highly sought-after prodigy in Zhongtian, but Xuanqing Xingjun had seen far too many prodigies.

As for Jiang Qiong, she was utterly unremarkable, and her merits were negligible.

These two can also become immortals?
Or was it arranged personally by His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor?

Xuanqing Xingjun had to be cautious, feeling that there was a cause and effect behind these two that he could not see through.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what kind of immortals they will become?" Xuanqing Star Lord asked cautiously.

The Heavenly Realm is strictly hierarchical, and many forces are watching each immortal position. Even if the immortal position is arranged by the Heavenly Emperor, he must prepare a complete plan to ensure that there are no loopholes, so as not to affect the prestige of the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Court.

“Hongyuan enters the Heavenly God realm, starting from the Immortal Lord. Jiang Qiong can enter the Free and Unfettered Immortal realm and remain in the Central Heaven. Her immortal rank is no lower than that of the Immortal Lord.”

The Heavenly Emperor answered softly, and with a few words, created two Immortal Lords.

Because of the unparalleled merits of the Supreme God of Merit and Virtue, the Xuanqing Star Lord who discovered him has also transcended the Immortal rank and become a Supreme Immortal, but also the Supreme Immortal with the lowest cultivation level.

Upon hearing that these two could directly become Immortal Lords, Xuanqing Star Lord felt a mix of emotions.
