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

Chapter 818 Great Disaster

"Now that you have shed your status as the emperor, why do you want to come back?"

After a moment of silence, Zhang Bukui asked, looking at Xu You.

The two have fought side by side for tens of millions of years and are already like brothers. He will not change their relationship because of Xu You's different identity.

In fact, over the years, he had often guessed Xu You's identity and had long been mentally prepared.

Xu You said irritably, "It's all because I know you. I originally wanted to live a carefree life, but ever since I met you, I've been in constant trouble."

After hearing this, Zhang Buku smiled and said, "Then you can go back now, I will not stop you."

"Forget it, with your temperament, you would have died eight million times over without me."

"Haven't I ever saved you? Putting aside everything else, before you joined the Heavenly Army, you were fighting with someone for a treasure of heaven and earth, and you were even prepared to die together with them. Wasn't it me who used a secret technique to help you break through the encirclement?"

"One yard owned by a yard."

The two started bickering, and Xu You's gloomy mood vanished, returning him to his usual carefree state.

The two bickered as they walked.

Ahead, a seven-colored glow appeared, and at the end of the glow stood a magnificent palace. Perched on the palace's eaves was an enormous bluebird, incredibly majestic, its fluttering feathers making the space appear to distort.

Zhang Bukui's gaze fell on the plaque of the palace.

"Nine Heavens Celestial Palace..."

Hearing Zhang Buku's mutterings, Xu You continued, "Inside the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace lives a Great Immortal who has opened the heavens, named the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor. She can be considered my junior sister. I have a pretty good relationship with her. Go there and cultivate for a while to help your physical body reach a higher level."

Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor!

Zhang Bukui remembered hearing in the Heavenly Army that those who could call themselves Immortal Emperors in the Heavenly Court held very high positions, far surpassing even the gods.

He began to look forward to the rest of his spiritual practice.

After experiencing the struggle for the throne, Zhang Bukui's ambitions grew even greater. He wanted to become a god even more powerful than the emperor, and he wanted to be the player of the game, not just a pawn.

The two quickened their pace and flew towards the Nine Heavens Celestial Palace.

……

Time flies, and a century passes in the blink of an eye.

For mortals, a hundred years is a long time, but for cultivators who have undergone Nirvana, a hundred years is not much different from a month.

On this day, Gu An was instructing An Zizai on the fourth palm of the Myriad Paths Peerless Palm. The two stood on a cliff, surrounded by beautiful scenery, but every palm strike An Zizai made could not disrupt the surrounding landscape.

Because they were inside the barrier created by Gu An, so that An Zizai could unleash the Myriad Paths Peerless Palm at will.

Despite being busy managing Wushi, An Zizai's cultivation has not lagged behind. He is now at the level of Luo Tian Zizai Immortal, and with his Myriad Paths Peerless Palm, even some second-generation disciples are no match for him.

Seeing that An Zizai was getting into the swing of things, Gu An turned his head to look at the horizon.

"here we go."

Gu An thought to himself, he was referring to a war that mortals could not perceive.

The Dark Heavenly Court is about to attack the Heavenly Court, with Emperor Bone Tongxuan Venerable as the vanguard. They have opened a spacetime passage, and the Endless Tower of Heaven Suppression will appear in front of the Heavenly Court's gate. This great war will last for many years. Emperor Bone Tongxuan Venerable is only representing the Dark Heavenly Court to test the Heavenly Court's current strength. Unfortunately, in the end, he was unable to force out the Heavenly Emperor, but instead made a Heavenly Dao Supreme who had been in seclusion for countless years famous throughout the Heavenly Court.

Even within the Heavenly Court, the title of the Heavenly Dao Supreme is rarely mentioned, partly because it's taboo, and partly because it's too far removed from most immortals and gods. For Gu An, this matter is just a source of amusement; he can watch the show when he has nothing else to do.

An Zizai repeatedly swung his palms, all of them straight pushes. The moves were simple, but the key lay in the flow of Qi.

While cultivating, he asked, "Grandmaster, many disciples recently want to become immortals. Didn't you help Uncle Yang Jian become an immortal before? Do you still have any immortal opportunities left? Do you support your disciples becoming immortals?"

Gu An never had many demands on his disciples. In their spare time, the disciples would think about their future. Even if they left Wushi, Gu An would not stop them. Not everyone could stay in Wushi forever. They could either leave through the Gate of Myriad Realms or go to the human world to establish their own sect.

"You are in charge of observing and selecting a disciple who wants to become an immortal and is qualified."

Gu An replied casually, but his words invigorated An Zizai.

As expected, Xuanyuan Renzun promised his grandmaster a spot to become an immortal!
He didn't want to become an immortal, but since Wushi had the opportunity to become one, he felt a sense of pride.

In his early years, he had gone out to gain experience and witnessed his master's skills. He had already decided to follow his master to the end.

Moreover, he has not lost his freedom. If he is bored, he can go to the human world to have fun. He has found his master's way of dealing with the world and finds it really interesting.

Having powerful cultivation without deliberately showing it off, and simply watching the tides rise and fall, can be quite enjoyable.

Gu An listened to An Zizai's thoughts and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Like An Xin, An Zizai has completely become a cultivator like him, which is good. Although there are many disciples of Wushi, there are not many who truly walk the same path as Gu An.

The grandfather and grandson chatted casually. An Zizai was enjoying his current state. His greatest idol was Gu An. He loved both cultivating with his grandmaster and chatting with him. Combining the two was a once-in-a-millennium experience for him.

An Zizai mentioned the future of Wushi. Wushi's disciples are increasing year by year. Even if the number of disciples is limited, it will eventually become a behemoth, passed down from generation to generation. He was afraid that he would not be able to manage Wushi well in the future.

Have you heard my story with the Tai Xuan Sect?

Gu An suddenly asked a question, and An Zizai immediately understood his implied meaning.

He can abandon the Tai Xuan Sect, and he can also abandon Wu Shi!

An Zizai immediately became nervous and hurriedly said, "Grandmaster, wherever you go, you must take me and my master with you. We have no desires or wants, we only want to ask you for guidance."

"Don't worry, I'll take you with me. I'm just trying to reduce your pressure. You've done very well, even better than your master did back then."

Gu An glanced at him and smiled, which made An Zizai feel relieved.

Looking at his expression, Gu An suddenly thought of An Hao.

An Zizai is just like An Hao, who doesn't want to fly far away.

He peered into An Zizai's future, a very long one, so long that he couldn't see the end. This meant that An Zizai's heart would not change, and he would truly always follow Gu An.

As long as he stays by Gu An's side, Gu An can naturally ensure that he lives on and that his cultivation will not reach its limit.

Gu An's gaze softened as he looked at An Zizai; this kid had lived up to his affection.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. Focus on cultivating the Myriad Paths Peerless Palm. If any of the disciples of Wushi commit evil deeds in the future, you'll have to clean up the mess. Don't let the younger generation surpass you," Gu An urged.

An Zizai chuckled and said, "How could a junior possibly surpass me?"

"It's not necessarily true. Wushi will become a great scourge in the future."

Gu An's words made An Zizai's smile disappear, and his brows furrowed as many faces flashed through his mind.
