Chapter 1056: Chapter 1047: Cangtian Ordains Immortality

Upon hearing Hongqian Ancestor’s words, Zhang Buku raised an eyebrow, while Xu You was delighted and quickly thanked Hongqian Ancestor.

“Hurry and put it down, let’s go!”

Xu You came to Zhang Buku’s side and urged.

However, Zhang Buku remained unmoved. He lifted his head, stared at the section of the hand bone, and asked, “What do I need to give up?”

“You need not give anything up.”

“If that’s the case, I cannot be at ease.”

Zhang Buku spoke in a calm tone, drawing the attention of Hongqian Ancestor.

Hongqian Ancestor thought the cause and effect arranged by Gu An was associated with this bone ash, but Zhang Buku’s persistence made him think otherwise.

He could see that Zhang Buku was not lying, the connection between Zhang Buku and the bone ash in the altar was real, and Zhang Buku was indeed willing to give up everything for his father.

Hongqian Ancestor became interested in Zhang Buku and said, “In that case, you shall stay.”

As soon as he spoke, the jade altar in Zhang Buku’s hand opened, and the ashes inside rose up, quickly winding around the hand bone like a whirlwind, with the white bone falling downwards, sinking to the pit’s bottom.

The other white bones at the bottom of the pit turned to ashes in response, and strands of black energy surged up from the soil, engulfing the hand bone of Hongqian Ancestor and Zhang Chunqiu’s ashes.

Zhang Buku stood up, frowning deeply. His divine sense couldn’t penetrate the black energy.

Xu You comforted him, “Since the senior promised, he certainly won’t trick us.”

He then transmitted a message, “He has no reason to deceive us, don’t overthink it.” The source of thɪs content is novel※fire.net

Zhang Buku did not answer him and continued to stand there, watching the black energy ahead.

A long time passed.

Zhang Buku retracted his gaze and looked at Xu You, “Let’s wait somewhere else to avoid disturbing the senior.”

Xu You nodded, a smile on his face. He was worried about Zhang Buku getting stuck on this point.

The two turned around and left, and Zhang Buku didn’t look back.

Within the black energy, Hongqian Ancestor’s Soul Body emerged from the hand bone. He assumed a meditative posture, looked at the ashes before him, and began to peer into all of Zhang Chunqiu’s reincarnation experiences.

Soon, his facial expression changed dramatically.

He saw a person, someone who made him shiver at the thought.

“To be associated with the cause and effect of Saints, and even be personally called ’senior brother’ by a Saint…”

Hongqian Ancestor’s expression became somber. He dared not underestimate Zhang Chunqiu anymore.

He realized that the Saint wanted to test him.

Having pursued the Saint Realm for countless years, he held deep reverence for Saints. Even when Gu An had stripped him of his physical body, he did not harbor a trace of resentment.

Before ascending to the Saint Realm, he dared not offend Gu An again.

No matter what the Saint’s intentions were, he decided to follow Zhang Buku’s request in action.

Even though Zhang Chunqiu carried causes and effects he couldn’t see through, he was willing to take the risk. Perhaps this was the Saint’s purpose—to have him probe those causes and effects.

Even if it led to irreversible consequences, he had no choice.

He raised his right hand, a green flame ignited in his palm, his expression cold, his gaze sharp, and muttered to himself, “I will see what incomprehensible causes linger within the Chaos, and what scenery lies beyond it…”

Whoosh—

The green flame surged fiercely, the green light illuminating the dim space, making Hongqian Ancestor’s visage appear even more imposing.

…

After handing Su Han and Hong Yuan over to the Gathering Flower Sect, Gu An continued his travels with Long Teng. Occasionally, he would take time to pick medicinal herbs at the Daoist Field of the Beginningless, unbeknownst to Long Teng.

Although Wushi had already moved to the Wushi Realm, the Daoist Field of the Beginningless remained, and the Ghost Mother of Ephemera still tended to it on occasion, which was why she saw Gu An the most within the Beginningless.

The Second Generation Disciples didn’t think much of it, as they too needed abundant time to retreat into enlightenment after that grand fortuitous encounter, which left each of them with vast insights to ponder.

Years flew by.

Millions of years passed in the blink of an eye.

Central Heaven had entered a new era, with a new batch of Great Powers guiding the world’s affairs. Hong Xuan of the Shaking Light Sacred Domain, Hong Yuan of the Gathering Flower Sect, all had become renowned across the land, along with other powerful Daoist Lineage prodigies achieving endless glory.

Having broken free from the entanglements of Chaos, the Heavenly Dao ushered in a phase of rapid ascent, with cultivator numbers rising across all realms, including Mixed Element Profound Venerable Immortals!

Emperor Hong Yang ultimately became a Mixed Element Profound Venerable Immortal, his power shaking the Heavenly Realm, securing his status as the most powerful Son of Heaven, and governing the power of Central Heaven.

In the Heavenly Realm, within the Palace of the Polestar.

The Celestial Emperor sat lazily on the Emperor’s Throne, a glowing sphere floating before him, presenting the scenes of the Human World as he observed Hong Yuan.

He could see the cause and effect between Hong Yuan’s master and Gu An, as well as the relationship between the Gathering Flower Sect and Gu An, yet he felt no apprehension towards Hong Yuan or the Gathering Flower Sect, only curiosity about Gu An’s intentions.

In these years, his cultivation level had advanced rapidly, making him feel very close to the Saint Realm.

The closer he got to the Saint Realm, the deeper his grasp of the Great Dao became, he could confirm that Gu An was definitely not the Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao, and was certainly aiming to pursue the Saint.

The creation that enveloped Chaos was likely bestowed by Gu An, meaning that Gu An was guiding him to become a Saint.

Such grace could not be overlooked, nor did he have any way to ignore it.

He engaged with the Hongmeng Will to become a Saint, why would Gu An, already a Saint, intervene in the cause and effect of the Hongmeng Will?

Could Gu An have originated from the Hongmeng?

The Celestial Emperor couldn’t fathom it, as he twisted his neck, suddenly feeling that the Heavenly Realm was quite silent.

He realized that ever since that grand creation, everything had fallen smoothly into place, and many burdens in his heart had been alleviated, allowing him to focus more on himself.

In the past, rarely had he concentrated on his own cultivation as during these years, making him quite content.

He pondered and with a thought.

Before long, a figure flew into the Palace of the Polestar—it was the Xuanqing Star Lord.

Xuanqing Star Lord arrived in the hall and respectfully saluted the Celestial Emperor.

The Celestial Emperor waved at the glowing sphere in front of him, drawing out the figures of Hong Yuan and Jiang Qiong, and said, “These two can become Immortals in the future.”

Xuanqing Star Lord looked up and began to deduce the cause and effect of these two.

Hong Yuan was an outstanding prodigy in Central Heaven, but Xuanqing Star Lord had seen many prodigies.

As for Jiang Qiong, she seemed average, her merit insignificant.

These two could become Immortals?

And it’s personally arranged by the Celestial Emperor?

Xuanqing Star Lord couldn’t help but be cautious, feeling these two might possess causes beyond his comprehension.

“Your Majesty, what type of Immortals are they to become?” Xuanqing Star Lord asked cautiously.

The Heavenly Realm’s hierarchy is strict, each Immortal Position heavily monitored by many forces, even the Celestial Emperor’s appointments require complete preparation, all planned meticulously to avoid affecting the Celestial Emperor and Cangtian’s prestige.

“Hong Yuan will enter as a Celestial God, starting from Immortal Monarch, Jiang Qiong can become a Carefree Immortal, staying in Central Heaven, her Immortal Position also not less than Immortal Monarch.”

The Celestial Emperor responded softly, creating two Immortal Monarchs with just a few words.

Because of the merit of the Merit Suppressing God Venerable, which shook ancient times, Xuanqing Star Lord, who had unearthed it, crossed over into the Immortal Position to become a Supreme Immortal, though the lowest in cultivation.

Upon hearing that these two could directly become Immortal Monarchs, Xuanqing Star Lord felt a mix of emotions.
