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

Chapter 285 Zhang Buku becomes an apprentice

Seeing that Qie Wuxing was willing to teach his disciples magic, Gu An was secretly pleased. This guy knew how to behave and was more sensible than the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord.

As the number of disciples in Medicine Valley increased, Gu An grew further and further away from them. Although they were master and disciple in name, they were not in reality. Even so, Gu An hoped that they could live better lives and obtain more opportunities for cultivation.

Stealing the Five Elements immediately set off, and when he saw Gu An along the way, he even greeted him.

After they had gone some distance, Gu An came to the chessboard, looked at Nine-Fingered Divine Lord, and said with a smile, "Shall we play a game?"

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord snorted, "If you're not going to come, then go find him yourself."

"Never mind then. I feel he's very skilled, and I'm not confident of winning, so I can't open the betting line lightly."

"What do you mean? You have feelings for me?"

"Have I ever lost to you?"

"you……"

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord was so angry that he wanted to slam his fist on the table and get up. But when he saw Gu An's smiling face, he immediately realized that Gu An was deliberately trying to provoke him.

Gu An then asked, "By the way, you've been back for so long, what about Chu Jingfeng? Aren't you going to take care of him?"

The Nine-Fingered Divine Lord replied, "Don't worry, he's fine. He's in seclusion. When he returns, you'll have to look up to him."

The thought of Gu An being surpassed by his own disciple, even becoming people from two different worlds, made him happy again.

Gu An sighed, "If that's really the case, then that would be wonderful. I have no hope of becoming an immortal anyway. If he can become an immortal, then I'll have met an immortal, and I'll have no regrets in this life."

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord wanted to say that he was an immortal, but looking at Gu An's expression, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

What's wrong with me?
How can you be so petty?

Gu An noticed the change in his eyes and cursed inwardly, "That old man is still trying to provoke me. Let's see if I can back down now."

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord began to talk about the sect Chu Jingfeng belonged to. He sent Chu Jingfeng to a sect overseas. Although that sect was not as good as the Star Sea Sect, it was still stronger than the Tai Xuan Sect.

Gu An listened with great interest as he recounted his experiences at sea.

As evening approached, Gu An returned to the attic.

These days, he noticed that more and more Celestial Immortals were returning, most of them near the Great Rift of the Broken Sea, clearly indicating that a great battle was brewing.

He sat in the chair, and with a sudden thought, his spirit left his body.

The carefree immortal can prevent sentient beings from seeing or touching it, and the wondrous immortal can also prevent the carefree immortal from seeing it.

Gu An quickly dived into the Great Rift of the Broken Sea. Along the way, he saw even more fighting figures than before, with battles taking place in almost every part of the world.

He stepped into the largest world, which was also the hiding place of the God and Otherworld Lord.

At this moment, the Lord of the Divine Realm was not fighting, but the aura of another carefree immortal still lingered in the world, indicating that the other party had already left.

Gu An landed in front of a cave. The cave was dark, and there was a faint sound of wind.

He stepped into the cave silently, the wind passing through his wondrous, celestial soul without the slightest obstruction.

After passing through the winding tunnel, he arrived at a cave chamber where Zhang Buku, transformed into a strange and vengeful ghost, sat cross-legged on the ground with an axe on his lap. The axe was not a magical weapon, but rather an object formed from the condensation of divine power.

Zhang Buku had his eyes closed and his brows furrowed, as if he were enduring torment.

Although he still retains his original soul consciousness, he is constantly suffering from the erosion of divine power, because divine power will autonomously devour the soul, a process that even the Lord of the Divine Realm cannot reverse.

Gu An sighed as he looked at his pained expression.

If Senior Brother Zhang saw this, how heartbroken he would be!

Gu An transformed into a sparrow and landed on a nearby rock.

He chirped softly, and Zhang Buku subconsciously opened his eyes. When he saw the sparrow that he had transformed into, Zhang Buku was stunned.

"Yes……"

Zhang Buku's face lit up with surprise. Just as he opened his mouth, he saw the sparrow flap its wings in a human-like manner, signaling him to be quiet.

Zhang Buku immediately understood, but his eyes remained excited.

Although he didn't know where the sparrow came from, he was very grateful to it.

When he was dying, it guided him to a cave, where he took the demon core and learned an unparalleled axe technique.

He had always harbored fantasies about this sparrow, but he never expected to see it here.

At this moment, Zhang Buku felt very happy. No matter what the sparrow's origin was, someone had always cared about him. How could he not be happy?
A sparrow suddenly pounced on him, but he didn't dodge.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a peck on his forehead, and a flood of memories rushed into his mind, leaving him in a daze. He didn't know how much time had passed.

When Zhang Bukui regained consciousness, a large amount of supernatural cultivation memories appeared in his mind.

"The Boundless Freedom Step..."

Zhang Buku muttered to himself, just by recalling that supernatural power, he could feel that it was unfathomable.

That's perfect, he can cultivate supernatural powers to transfer the pain from his body.

In the words of the Lord of the Mystic Realm, he must get used to the erosion of mystic power, otherwise he will become a true mystic vengeful ghost sooner or later.

Perhaps, that's how the sparrow wanted to help him.

Zhang Buku felt a warmth in his heart and suddenly realized that the pain in his body was nothing.

How many people have perished in the realm of the gods and become vengeful ghosts? He still has a chance, how could he not be happy?
"I must cultivate diligently and leave as soon as possible so that Li Ya won't worry. And what about Uncle Gu? If I stay here for hundreds or even thousands of years, wouldn't I never be able to see Uncle Gu one last time in this life?" Zhang Buku felt a sense of urgency as he thought about this.

He had always felt that Uncle Gu was not simple and might be hiding his cultivation level, but no matter how much he hid it, Uncle Gu was younger than Li Ya and it was impossible for him to be so strong as to far surpass Li Ya. Moreover, Li Ya had the opportunity of the Divine City.

Zhang Buku stood up and began practicing the Wuji Zizai Step.

He moved around in the cave, changing his steps, gradually forgetting time and his own pain, but because of his cultivation, his will became exceptionally clear.

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.

Zhang Bukui was still practicing the Wuji Zizai Step in the cave without resting. For him, cultivating supernatural powers was not tiring. On the contrary, he gradually found a way to resist the supernatural power.

A sound of footsteps came from the cave passage, startling him awake.

He turned his head and saw the Lord of the Mystic Realm slowly walking into the cave.

Zhang Bukui had already seen him before, so he wasn't afraid; he just looked at him warily.

The Lord of the Divine Realm looked at him and said, "The supernatural power you have cultivated is extraordinary and has great potential. Continue to cultivate it, and your future achievements will certainly be remarkable."

Hearing this, Zhang Bukui was very surprised.

Even though the other party saw through his supernatural abilities, they didn't press him for answers.

Does this guy know sparrows?

Just as Zhang Buku was about to ask, the Lord of the Divine Realm spoke up: "Although your friend obtained the Divine City, he did not truly control its power. The Divine City has another master. Do you want to become my disciple and inherit my mantle? In the future, you can make the Divine City recognize you as its master. Of course, if you are unwilling, after receiving my teachings, it will not be difficult for you to subdue a celestial treasure in the future."

Apprenticeship?

Zhang Bukui's mind was a little confused. He could feel the suppression of the Divine Realm Lord on him. He was currently unable to resist the Divine Realm Lord, and he couldn't even lie.

Under such circumstances, if the Lord of the Divine Realm wanted to scheme against him, why would he need to go through all this trouble?

The Lord of the Divine Realm saw through his thoughts and explained, "What I value is not you, but the existence behind you. Now you live and die with me. If I perish, you will die. At least we are now on the same side. If I befriend your backer, it will only bring me benefits."

"My backer? Who is it?" Zhang Buku asked in surprise.

The Lord of the Divine Realm was not surprised. He had already seen Zhang Bukui's memories, but some memories were unclear. A force prevented him from prying into them, and he dared not continue to investigate because he had already witnessed the strength of Zhang Bukui's backer.

"Since you don't know, then don't ask any more questions. The more you know, the less good it is. You just need to know that whether it's him or me, if we wanted to harm you, it wouldn't be worth all this trouble. Your value isn't that high," the Lord of the Divine Realm said slowly.

After hearing this, Zhang Buku fell silent. He wasn't angry; instead, he was even more grateful to the sparrow.

Even if it was a scheme, he accepted it and vowed to repay the sparrow in the future.

As for the Lord of the Divine Realm, there was no direct hatred between them. He died in the Divine Realm, so no one could be blamed for his death. After all, he chose this path himself, and no one forced him to come.

Zhang Bukui took a deep breath and said, "Okay!"

He then knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Master, please accept my bow!"

After saying that, he lowered his head.

The Lord of the Mystic Realm smiled and said, "It's been so many years since anyone has called me Master. My previous disciple is now high above everyone else, afraid of being associated with me, his Master."

His tone was full of self-deprecation.

Zhang Bukui looked up and asked, "Who is your disciple?"

The smile vanished from the Divine Realm Lord's face, and he snorted, "Him? Just a dog of the Holy Court!"
