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

Chapter 1060 The Last Cry of "Junior Brother"

Seeing Gu An stepping on the head of the Great Xuan Yin Ruler, Zhang Bukui and Xu You both felt relieved, since the Great Xuan Yin Ruler had been so arrogant before.

Ancestor Hongqian felt fear.

He didn't see clearly how the two saints fought, but he could tell one thing: the difference in their strength was enormous.

Is there a distinction between different levels of attainment even among sages?

If he hadn't experienced the aura of the Great Xuan Yin Ruler before, he would have found it hard to imagine that the Great Xuan Yin Ruler, whom Gu An was now trampling underfoot, was actually a saint.

With his face being stepped on, the Great Xuan Yin Ruler could barely see Gu An's face. His eyes were filled with anger and fear, and he was unable to answer Gu An's question.

He had always been the one to humiliate the weak, and this was the first time he had ever suffered such humiliation. He was on the verge of madness, but he dared not and could not retaliate.

"Remember this feeling. Those beings who have been forced to submit to you have also felt it. They are even more in pain than you because they are losing people they care about, while you only have yourself."

Gu An said coldly. As soon as he finished speaking, he directly crushed the head of the Great Xuan Yin Ruler, and its flesh and blood turned into scorching heat and dissipated.

The physical body of the Great Profound Yin Ruler, not far away, then fell backward.

Everything seemed to have settled down.

Zhang Bukui withdrew his gaze and looked at his father in his arms, his excitement gradually dissipating.

Gu An stepped to Zhang Bukui's side and asked, "Do you still want to revive him?"

Zhang Buku looked up in surprise and asked, "Uncle-Master Gu, do you have another way?"

Gu An nodded slightly, but her gaze was as deep as an abyss, making him feel inexplicably guilty.

"Should I revive him?" Zhang Buku asked, bewildered.

Gu An countered, "Why don't you try to see things from his perspective? Do you even know what outcome he wants?"

Zhang Buku remained silent.

Xu You walked over and said, "Bu Ku, it's time to let go. Let your father enter the cycle of reincarnation. You're putting too much pressure on him. He may be Zhang Bu Ku's father, but he's definitely not the Evil Emperor's father."

Zhang Buku looked at Xu You and saw that his close friend had a serious expression, so he knew that he really had to make a decision.

"Uncle Gu, could you allow my father to return to the cycle of reincarnation and begin a new life?"

Zhang Bukui looked at Gu An and asked in an almost pleading tone.

Gu An nodded and said, "Although it is difficult, I am willing to help him out of consideration for our brotherhood as fellow disciples."

Hearing this, Zhang Bukui felt even more ashamed, realizing that his willfulness had made those around him pay the price.

"Let's go, let's find a place to bury your father."

After saying these words, Gu An walked forward. Zhang Bukui took a deep breath, picked up his father, and then followed Gu An with Xu You.

Hongqian Patriarch looked very uneasy as Gu An approached.

He waited until Gu An walked past him, but still didn't give any orders. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Senior, may I follow you?"

Gu An did not stop, but his words made Ancestor Hongqian overjoyed.

"what ever."

Upon hearing those two words, Ancestor Hongqian still floated up.

Hearing Ancestor Hongqian address Gu An as "senior," Zhang Bukui was filled with confusion. Just who was Uncle Gu?
Uncle Gu is decades older than him, how can he be so powerful? Could it be that Uncle Gu was training in the mortal realm before in the Heavenly Spirit World?
Zhang Bukui did not ask, because he knew that now was not a good time to speak.

"what?"

Xu You suddenly exclaimed in surprise. Zhang Bukui turned his head and noticed that Xu You was staring in one direction. He followed his gaze and his brows furrowed.

Suddenly, the physical body of the Great Profound Yin Ruler stood up and followed them forward.

The headless body walked without swaying, which was quite eerie.

Before they could think any further, the world around them suddenly changed, and they found themselves on a mountain ridge with a wide-open view. The sky was azure, cloudless, and there were beautiful, undulating mountains and forests in the distance.

Zhang Bukui and the other two were secretly alarmed, but dared not ask.

They could only follow Gu An forward, digesting their previous experiences. Their gazes would occasionally drift back, and the physical body of the Great Profound Yin Ruler was always with them, proving that their previous experiences were not illusions.

……

The sunlight was bright and streamed into the forest.

Zhang Buku knelt before the tombstone, speaking to his father, while Xu You stood silently to the side.

Behind them was a mountain. Halfway up the mountain, Gu An stood on the edge of the cliff, while the soul of the Hongqian Ancestor and the physical body of the Great Xuan Yin Ruler were ten steps away, not daring to approach.

Ancestor Hongqian could see a soul standing beside Gu An, which was none other than Zhang Chunqiu's.

Zhang Chunqiu looked at Zhang Bukui's figure with a face full of pity.

"If you're reluctant, you can always turn back," Gu An said with a soft laugh.

Zhang Chunqiu shook his head slightly and said, "He doesn't need me anymore. I will only become his weakness. Besides, my position in his heart is far higher than his position in mine. Forcing me to stay would be unfair to him and would be torture for me as well."

These words were cruel, but Gu An could understand them. After all, Zhang Chunqiu had experienced many reincarnations and had come to terms with many things.

Zhang Chunqiu turned to look at Gu An and exclaimed, "Junior Brother Gu, who exactly are you? I never imagined that my obedient junior brother from back then would be so powerful."

Like everyone else, he believed that Gu An was a reincarnation and could not have attained enlightenment in this life.

"I hold a position in the heavens," Gu An replied casually, and it was the truth.

This answer made Zhang Chunqiu suddenly realize the truth, and at the same time, his heart was completely relieved. Since Gu An was a god and they had a past relationship, even if he left, Gu An should not scheme against Zhang Bukui.

Hongqian Ancestor wanted to roll his eyes. You, a dignified saint, are hiding in the Heavenly Court as an immortal god. It's too dirty. Who would have thought of this?

He and the Great Xuan Yin Ruler have already suffered, and there will surely be many more powerful figures to meet with disaster in the future.

However, thinking about this, Ancestor Hongqian felt a sense of anticipation.

After getting caught in the rain, he hoped that others could also get soaked.

"Junior Brother Gu, I will call you Junior Brother one last time, as I will no longer have the honor of doing so. Before I leave, I really want to ask you, you are already an immortal, what are you still pursuing? What do you think is the ultimate goal of life?"

Zhang Chunqiu looked at Gu An and asked seriously.

He had been resurrected by Zhang Bukui before and even reached a high level, but he never adapted to that kind of life because he didn't get there on his own. He felt awkward and it wasn't real enough.

Gu An looked down at Zhang Bukui and answered Zhang Chunqiu's question at the same time: "There are three thousand Great Daos, leaving a thread of uncertainty. I think the uncertainty is you, me, and all living beings in the world. Because we pursue different things, there is no same answer. This is what makes the Great Dao so rich and colorful. You don't need to find a real answer. Whatever you want is what you should pursue. Even if you are floating in the cycle of reincarnation, as long as you have the desire, it is not necessarily the right path."

Zhang Chunqiu smiled, relieved of the pressure in his heart.
