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

Chapter 1050 An Extraordinary Relationship

Although he felt uncomfortable, Xuanqing Xingjun still agreed to the matter.

"This matter is not urgent. Just like before, pave the way for them."

The Heavenly Emperor continued, and Xuanqing Xingjun nodded, indicating that he would take the matter seriously.

Then, the Heavenly Emperor gestured for him to step back.

Xuanqing Xingjun bowed respectfully to him, then turned and left.

As he walked out of the Lingxiao Palace, Xuanqing Xingjun's expression turned unpleasant, and he felt uneasy.

Does Your Majesty intend to become arrogant and reckless, like the Heavenly Emperors of the past?
This is not a good thing!

Xuanqing Xingjun decided to thoroughly investigate Jiang Qiong and the other person. He would complete the task assigned by the Heavenly Emperor, but he would also try to maintain the integrity of the Heavenly Dao and prevent it from going astray again.

……

In the middle of the sky, amidst the mountains, there is a courtyard.

Xuanqing Xingjun sat opposite Hongyuan at the table. His eyes widened in astonishment as he asked, "You are not only a disciple of the Juhua Sect, but also have the lineage of Wushi?"

"That's right, my first master came from Wushi, and he was a third-generation disciple!"

As Hongyuan grew up, he became handsome and refined. When he mentioned his identity as a third-generation disciple of Wushi, he looked proud.

There are too many myths and legends about Wushi in this world. Before learning about this identity, he did not know Su Han's background. He only found out after joining the Juhua Sect. At that time, he was too arrogant, so Su Han told him about this identity.

Seeing Xuanqing Xingjun's interesting expression, Hongyuan couldn't help but laugh and say, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to be nervous. Although I come from a distinguished family, our friendship doesn't need to be concerned about such things."

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing Xingjun wanted to say that he was a celestial being, even more illustrious than Xuanqing Xingjun, but he held back.

"You should have said you came from Wushi earlier!" Xuanqing Xingjun said with a hint of resentment.

He had previously discovered that Hongyuan had some karmic connections that he couldn't fathom, but he didn't pay much attention to it, since many geniuses had them. However, he didn't expect that this kid came from Wushi.

If I had revealed this identity earlier, would he have needed to investigate me first?
The lineage of the Supreme Deity of Merit and Virtue is trustworthy!
At this moment, Xuanqing Xingjun felt a great deal of goodwill towards Hongyuan, and any resentment he had towards the Heavenly Emperor vanished.

The Heavenly Emperor favored Wushi, which he felt was not a bad thing, but even a good thing, since the Heavenly Emperor still valued the merit of the Supreme God.

If the Heavenly Emperor were to become wary of the supreme deity who possesses merit, it would be a devastating disaster.

As for the Supreme God of Merit and Virtue, Xuanqing Star Lord trusted him from the bottom of his heart, even more than he trusted the Heavenly Emperor.

The Heavenly Emperor was raised and ascended to the throne under the watchful eye of Xuanqing Xingjun, so Xuanqing Xingjun was always worried that he was not composed enough.

But the Supreme God of Merit is different. He is an incomparably ancient being, and the sedimentation of time has long since transformed into his Dao. He will not be affected by personal feelings, at least Xuanqing Star Lord believes so.

"Why did you say this earlier? You don't know me. I travel the world without relying on my status. I would only tell you this if you didn't catch my eye."

Hongyuan rolled his eyes at Xuanqing Xingjun and said this. His words suddenly didn't seem so annoying to Xuanqing Xingjun.

Yes, this is how the supreme lineage should be!

"Then do you know the character of Ancestor Jiang Qiong of the Juhua Sect?" Xuanqing Xingjun changed the subject.

Hongyuan immediately became alert, his eyes sharpening as he scrutinized Xuanqing Xingjun and asked, "Why are you asking these questions?"

Xuanqing Xingjun remained calm and said, "Didn't I tell you before that I traveled through the mortal world and wanted to write down the various sects in the book? The kind of person the founder of a sect is will determine the atmosphere of that sect."

Hongyuan nodded, looked left and right, then leaned forward and whispered, "I don't really know what kind of person the Ancestor is, because she is too low-key. But I do know about her relationship with Ancestor Wushi. Their relationship is very special!"

Seeing Hongyuan's affected manner, Xuanqing Xingjun was initially speechless, but upon hearing his words, Xuanqing Xingjun became interested again. "What's so special about him?" Xuanqing Xingjun asked with a smile.

Hongyuan said mysteriously, "They might be Daoist partners!"

Xuanqing Xingjun's eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked, "You can't just say things like that, are you serious?"

“I never lie, just don’t tell anyone. By the way, don’t write this relationship into the book. I’m telling you this so you can write about the Gathering Flower Sect more objectively!” Hongyuan said seriously.

He may seem carefree, but he is actually very meticulous. He could tell that Xuanqing Xingjun valued Wushi highly, so he wanted to use Wushi to help Juhua Sect.

As for whether this relationship will become public knowledge, he is not afraid. If it does become public knowledge, Patriarch Jiang Qiong will definitely be happy.

Xuanqing Xingjun's mind is now active; no wonder Jiang Qiong was able to become a Celestial Lord.

He felt gratified, thinking that the Heavenly Emperor had truly grown up.

Know how to do things!
In his view, it was very important to strengthen the relationship between the Supreme God of Merit and the Heavenly Court, and it was also a great thing, though it would not be reflected in merit and fortune.

……

In the Yin-Yang Immortal Realm, Gu An brought Long Teng to see Ji Xiaoyu. Ji Xiaoyu, who was in seclusion, heard his telepathic message and naturally came to see him immediately.

The three entered the palace for a chat. In front of them was a small table laden with fine wine and delicacies. Ji Xiaoyu knew he loved good food and had prepared it especially for him.

Gu An asked Long Teng to tell Ji Xiaoyu about their experiences over the years, and Long Teng did so, speaking very earnestly.

Long Teng spoke for a full hour, but he still hadn't finished.

Watching Gu An savor the wine, Ji Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask, "Are you usually very free? Don't you have any higher goals?"

Upon hearing Ji Xiaoyu speak, Long Teng immediately shut up, though he also wanted to ask.

Anyway, over the years, he hadn't seen Gu An cultivate, nor had he done anything particularly important. If he thought about it carefully, the only serious matter was saving Hong Yuan more than ten million years ago.

Gu An turned to look at her and said, "When you reach my level, you will know how difficult it is to pursue higher goals. Moreover, I am not idle. I have done a lot of great things, helped the Heavenly Dao resolve several calamities, and also helped the human world create a better future."

"Is that so?" Ji Xiaoyu asked hesitantly, shifting her gaze to Long Teng.

Long Teng hesitated, wanting to expose Gu An's lie but afraid of offending him. In the end, he nodded.

His attitude made Ji Xiaoyu even more suspicious.

"Go on," Ji Xiaoyu decided to listen.

Gu An must have had his reasons for asking Long Teng to recount his experiences.

Unfortunately, even after listening to it all, she still couldn't grasp its deeper meaning.

Gu An took the Myriad Laws Annihilation Great Venerable Cauldron from his belt, placed it on the table, and said, "This treasure is given to you; it can help you resolve future calamities."

When Long Teng saw the cauldron, he couldn't help but think of the figure of Ancestor Hong Qian, and subconsciously swallowed.

Looking at the miniature Myriad Laws Annihilation Great Cauldron, Ji Xiaoyu asked curiously, "What calamity?"

"Your Immortal Realm has been studying the Dao of Yin and Yang and the Dao of Reincarnation for many years, which has attracted the attention of a certain powerful being. Many of your disciples have already embarked on this path, which will cause a series of troubles in the future, and may even force that being to show himself," Gu An revealed.

While Heaven appears peaceful, undercurrents are surging beneath the surface, with a force even more terrifying than the forces of chaos constantly operating in the shadows.
