Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

After Zhang Chunqiu regained awareness of his past life, he rested for a few days before he completely mastered the new body.

Zhang Buku arranged a separate residence for him, lavishly decorated with an ancient charm, resembling the chambers of mortal cultivators.

Zhang Chunqiu sat at the table, holding a book in his hand. This book was none other than Gu An’s “The Investiture of the Gods.” As he looked at it, he reminisced about the past, a subtle smile on his face.

Bang——

The door was pushed open, and Zhang Buku stepped in, walking straight to the table. He noticed the book in Zhang Chunqiu’s hand and couldn’t help but ask, “With so many books, why do you prefer this one?”

The room housed two rows of bookshelves, all collected by Zhang Buku over the years, for today, for his father to remember the past.

Zhang Chunqiu smiled and said, “This book was all the rage in the Supreme Sect back then and renowned in the Tai Cang Dynasty. I like it very much. Reading it brings back many memories of the past, many people.”

Zhang Buku sat down, looking at his father. His mood was now calm, and he only wanted to enjoy his father’s company.

Zhang Chunqiu put down “The Investiture of the Gods,” looking at Zhang Buku, and said, “Could you tell me all you’ve experienced? From after my death until now, I wish to know how you’ve come through it all.”

Zhang Buku had intended to do just that, so he began to speak.

In front of his father, he concealed nothing, narrating in a continuous flow.

Listening to how Zhang Buku was excluded by the Imperial Dynasty’s people and demons, living a life neither human nor demon, Zhang Chunqiu felt distressed, feeling he had wronged him.

Later, hearing how Gu An helped Zhang Buku, a smile finally appeared on Zhang Chunqiu’s face.

Even though he remembered Gu An, he wasn’t overly concerned since, in his lifetime, he hadn’t spent much time with Gu An; he had many fellow disciples.

This Junior Brother Gu had always acted discreetly, unexpectedly holding such fondness for old ties.

Zhang Chunqiu couldn’t help but recall Gu An’s diligent and uncomplaining demeanor when he first entered the Profound Valley, which filled him with emotion.

Further on, hearing of Zhang Buku joining the Supreme Sect and befriending Li Ya, the smile on Zhang Chunqiu’s face grew broader.

It seemed his life was worthwhile since the connections he left behind were able to help his son.

Zhang Buku’s narration was also filled with nostalgia.

The world had changed while old friends were no longer around.

Apart from Master Gu, Zhang Buku missed Li Ya the most. They had faced life and death together; Li Ya was the first to make him feel not alone, something even the present Xu You couldn’t replace.

Zhang Buku spoke for a long time; his stories were long and rich, and Zhang Chunqiu listened tirelessly, without interruption.

Days passed before Zhang Buku finished his account. Some experiences he described casually, but Zhang Chunqiu could imagine the pain and torment Zhang Buku must have faced.

“You have far surpassed what I achieved; I am proud of you.” Zhang Chunqiu said sincerely, looking at Zhang Buku.

He felt that Zhang Buku now didn’t require comfort, but rather his recognition.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Buku indeed smiled and said, “Actually, I’ve thought about resurrecting my mother, but my connection with her is too shallow and still needs time.”

His mother was a demon and left too early. In his heart, he didn’t really care about his mother, only his father.

He said this to gauge his father’s attitude.

Zhang Chunqiu was not surprised, showing no change in his expression.

“There’s no need to force it; reincarnation is natural. Perhaps she wouldn’t want to return,” Zhang Chunqiu said calmly.

He might appear younger, but his heart remained old, having long since seen through many things.

Zhang Buku squinted his eyes and asked, “Father, do you want to come back?”

Zhang Chunqiu answered, “Currently, I cherish the present dearly, but I cannot determine if the me within reincarnation wishes to return.”

These words left Zhang Buku in silence.

At that moment, Xu You’s voice came from outside the house, “Zhang Buku, an old acquaintance of yours has arrived.”

Zhang Buku snapped back to reality. He nodded toward Zhang Chunqiu and then got up to leave.

Once he closed the door, Zhang Chunqiu picked up “The Investiture of the Gods” again and continued reading.

…

Zhang Chunqiu’s resurrection also caught Gu An’s attention, yet he didn’t visit Zhang Chunqiu. Their bond as fellow disciples actually wasn’t deep. If they were fated to meet, then it’d be a blessing; without fate, there’s no need to force it.

Gu An went on with his usual life, traveling to and from the Wushishi Continent and Inch Island.

When the True Yuan Ancestor broke through to the Miaozhen Daluo Immortal Realm, Gu An released him to cross the tribulation away from Inch Island. The grand spectacle of the celestial tribulation attracted the attention of many great powers and immortal gods.

Once his breakthrough ended, many great figures gathered around him to make connections. He had once granted fuyuan to all living beings, so the powerful figures respected him greatly, and none dared offend him.

After shaking off these acquaintances, he returned to Inch Island to continue his focused cultivation.

And within the Beginningless, disciples were also making breakthroughs. Even with significant commotion, Gu An concealed it, leaving outsiders residing on the continent unable to detect anything.

An Xin, as always, was the first to break through to the Taiqing Golden Immortal Realm, followed by the Blood Prison Great Saint. The two advanced into this realm successively, pushing the highest cultivation level of the second-generation disciples up by one great realm.

In Central Heaven, Taiqing Golden Immortals were still considered great figures, but those causing major upheavals were all Daluo Immortals.

With peace in the world, the most powerful demon race began their conflicts; the Seven Demon Emperors each harbored ambitions, especially with Ascenders injecting them with the concept of unity, leading to growing discord among them.

Ultimately, the Seven Demon Emperors erupted in war, alarming all living beings.

Even the mighty Demon Emperors themselves appeared. Two Demon Emperors waged a titanic battle, leaving a legendary tale between heaven and earth.

Three thousand years had passed since Zhang Chunqiu’s resurrection, and in this year, a mighty being arrived across dimensions, not through the ascension path of the Heavenly Dao, but descending from Outer Heaven.

This person called himself the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor, invincible across ten thousand realms, intending to face his final tribulation in Central Heaven. His arrival made Central Heaven even more lively.

The Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor continuously challenged great figures, even defeating a Demon Emperor, causing his name to resound in the heavens. Stories of him continuously spread to the Wushishi Continent, becoming the most discussed name among the Wushiji disciples.

On this day, Su Han came to the Mountain of No End to find Gu An and talk about the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor.

“Nowadays, great figures emerge; Ancestor, who do you think is the strongest today? Is it the Demon Emperor Fang Qiu, or is it the Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor, or perhaps the Evil Emperor?”

Su Han squatted beside Gu An, asking curiously.

Gu An was lying on a rocking chair reading a book, and upon hearing Su Han’s question, he casually replied, “None of them.”

“Is it perhaps that True Yuan Ancestor?” Su Han widened his eyes, pursuing the question.

Gu An glanced at him and asked, “Why don’t you focus on your cultivation instead of concerning yourself with others?”

Su Han quickly said, “I am not just idling. I want to write a book documenting the evolution of Central Heaven, recording the mightiest beings of each era. I even plan to forge this book into a treasure of cause and effect and destiny; perhaps I can attain the Dao through it.”
