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

Chapter 973 The Power of Reincarnation
After asking, Xuanqing Xingjun felt uneasy, fearing that Gu An might be recruited by other immortals and gods during his absence.

Since ancient times, it has been common for immortals and gods to descend to the mortal world to recruit new gods. The Heavenly Court is full of complex factions. Once Gu An's merits are revealed, they will inevitably attract the attention of more immortals and gods. Xuanqing Star Lord does not want to miss out on Gu An.

Judging from Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods, Xuanqing Xingjun felt that Wushi Zushi was reminding him and paying attention to him, which shows that Wushi Zushi had a certain interest in the Merit Immortal.

Even the strongest interest may not be able to withstand the pressure of profit.

Gu An's voice followed: "Then let's go."

Upon hearing this answer, Xuanqing Xingjun felt relieved and smiled. He immediately bowed towards the door and then turned to leave.

He bowed to Shen Zhen before walking out of the courtyard.

The Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower led him down the mountain. Unlike when he came, his heart was filled with excitement and fervor.

really!

The patriarch was waiting for him.

He couldn't let his master down, since the master had treated him so well!

Xuanqing Xingjun's eyes hardened, and he began to think about how to persuade the Heavenly Emperor.

On this return journey, the Ephemeral Flower Demon Mother did not follow the previous route. Xuanqing Star Lord also noticed this. He did not ask, but followed behind the Ephemeral Flower Demon Mother with curiosity in his heart.

Did the patriarch want him to see something?
After descending the mountain, they walked into a vast forest, where medicinal herb fields were nestled between the mountains. From the ridge, the fields were colorful and magnificent.

Xuanqing Xingjun saw many figures on those medicinal fields, which looked just like the rural scenes in the mortal world.

The Ephemeral Flower Demon Mother continued forward, leading him toward the medicinal field where the Mortal Supreme and others were located.

Those immortals and gods whose cultivation had been sealed all turned their gazes to Xuanqing Star Lord. The immortal aura emanating from Xuanqing Star Lord was so outstanding that they could tell at a glance that he was an immortal or god.

Another companion?
However, judging from Xuanqing Xingjun's appearance, it doesn't seem like his cultivation has been sealed.

The immortals secretly thought that other powerful beings who were not immortals were also curious.

As he approached, Xuanqing Xingjun also looked at these people, but he did not recognize any of the immortals or gods.

The Heavenly Court is vast, with countless immortals and gods. Xuanqing Xingjun has not been a member of the Heavenly Court for very long, and he spends most of his time in the Central Heaven, so he has no interaction with these immortals and gods.

He could tell that these people without cultivation were not simple. They probably had committed some offense and were punished by the Primordial Ancestor, which led them to this continent. He had heard many legends that this continent was called the Pure Land because the Primordial Ancestor and his disciples had defeated and suppressed one powerful enemy after another.

"Fellow Daoist, I am very curious, is it meaningful for the Ancestor to punish them in this way?" Xuanqing Xingjun asked. His words were heard by Hongchen Zhizun and others, who were all surprised.

Did this deity come here not to atone for his sins?

The Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower replied, "Whether it has any meaning or not, only they know."

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing Xingjun turned to look at Hongchen Zhizun and the others.

The Nine Heavens Lord looked at the Mysterious Pure Star Lord with a flickering gaze, hesitating whether to give the Mysterious Pure Star Lord a hint. But then he thought that this immortal did not seem very powerful. If he acted recklessly and failed, it would only bring his shameful experience into the Heavenly Court, which would be a loss.

The other immortals and gods also had their own thoughts, and they only continued their work after Xuanqing Xingjun had left their sight.

After seeing Xuanqing Xingjun off from the temple, the Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower turned and left.

Xuanqing Xingjun looked back and saw the spiritual mist gathering again, his heart filled with confusion.

What does this road actually imply?
He observed the road very carefully, but still couldn't understand why the patriarch had instructed him to take this path. Oh well.

Let's resolve the matter of the ancestral master's immortal position first!
Xuanqing Xingjun shook his head, then leaped up and flew into the sky, quickly disappearing into the clouds without leaving any trace.

……

The underworld, the realm of the dead.

In the dim light, Zhang Bukui, Zhang Chunqiu, and Xu You walked across the desert. The end of the earth was pitch black, with faint red light flashing, which made it seem oppressive and terrifying.

Zhang Chunqiu felt uneasy ever since he stepped into this realm.

He looked around, as if searching for something.

Xu You, who was walking at the front, was also scanning his surroundings with a furrowed brow.

"Something seems to have happened here," Xu You said, his tone grave.

Zhang Buku replied, "He's still here. We'll find out by asking him later."

Zhang Chunqiu couldn't help but ask, "Who exactly is he?"

Living in such a place must be extraordinary; it is said to be the depths of reincarnation, which Zhang Chunqiu, who had been resurrected, found very objectionable.

When he was first resurrected, he didn't feel much, but the longer he lived and the higher his cultivation level became, the less he wanted to give up everything he had now.

"He is the master of the Nine Netherworld, known as the Nine Netherworld Primordial Emperor. Looking at the Heavenly Dao, only the Heavenly Emperor is his opponent. He was born in the early days of chaos. In terms of age, he is even the oldest being in the chaos. In his eyes, there are no secrets."

Zhang Buku answered as he walked forward.

Hearing this, Zhang Chunqiu became even more nervous, somewhat fearful of facing the Nine Netherworld Emperor.

The three fell silent and continued on their way.

After passing through a wide and dark canyon, a cold wind swept towards them, making Zhang Chunqiu shiver.

Zhang Chunqiu stared wide-eyed and saw an incomparably majestic figure sitting at the edge of the earth. The figure was as tall as a mountain, with a huge chair beneath him. He was like the most ancient god leaning on his throne of time. Even though his posture was lazy, he still exuded an aura of domineering power that looked down on everything, making Zhang Chunqiu feel an urge to kneel down.

Emperor of the Nine Netherworlds!
Even without seeing the true face of the Nine Netherworld Emperor, Zhang Chunqiu immediately believed Zhang Bukui's words.

Zhang Buku stopped and asked, "Hongmeng Emperor, is there a problem with the Great Dao of Reincarnation?"

His voice was loud and clear, resounding throughout the heavens and earth, and lingered for a long time.

The misty fog between heaven and earth slowly stopped, ceasing its surging, while the Nine Netherworld Emperor's figure remained unchanged, like a stone statue, motionless.

Seeing that the Nine Netherworld Emperor did not speak, Zhang Bukui and Xu You were not in a hurry and waited patiently. However, Zhang Bukui became more and more uneasy because he felt that there were eyes scrutinizing him.

for a long time.

The Nine Netherworld Emperor, hidden in the thick fog, moved. He slowly raised his head and said, "The Great Dao has its own will, and so does Reincarnation. There is a power that even I cannot see through that is approaching the Heavenly Dao. Reincarnation will be the breakthrough point for that power."

“Your father will become their puppet and your enemy. Your ghost realm has been targeted by that force. Before you arrived, that force sent an avatar to warn me that I can no longer protect you. Moreover, the injuries I sustained in the battle with the Heavenly Emperor have not yet healed.”
