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

Chapter 563: Chapter 558 The Legend of Lu Qiuxian

The night was like water, three white foxes teasingly stared at the boss, as if looking at prey.

Faced with their gaze, the boss was engulfed in an inner struggle, and Little Five on his back had no breath left, his body growing stiffer, which made his heart even more anxious.

Although he was a beggar, living at the lowest strata of society, many people humiliated him, but he had never thought about killing anyone, at most he just wanted to beat up those who bullied him.

In his view, killing was an unforgivable act…

But his younger brother, Little Five, was still waiting for him to rescue…

The boss took a deep breath, he looked up at the three white foxes and gritted his teeth, “This is it, take my life to save my brother, and let my brother serve you as a servant for a lifetime!”

Little Five was disabled, and life was hard to manage by himself. If he could be tied to these three demons, perhaps he could find a better way out.

Although demons were not as powerful as the Immortal Gods, they were still not comparable to ordinary people, what if the demons could make Little Five grow legs?

Hearing what the boss said, the three white foxes were stunned for a moment and then they started giggling.

“Your brother is a cripple, is he supposed to serve us, or should we serve him?”

“Mortal, you think too much.”

“Such a coward doesn’t even deserve to serve us.”

Facing the demons’ mockery, the boss was not angry, just more nervous and uneasy.

He finally had a chance to save his brother, how could he give up?

“As long as you are willing to go into the city and kill, we can make your brother normal, repairing the physical defects, and there are plenty of Evil People in this city, it’s not just your brother you’d be saving…”

One white fox said with a profound meaning, which made a new light shine in the boss’s eyes.

At the same time.

Gu An stood under a nearby tree watching this scene.

These three white foxes were Tier Two demons, comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm, still unable to undergo Transformation, what they said was true, hoping the boss would kill the Evil People in the city.

They dared not act personally, because there were Immortal Cultivation Sects nearby that would capture and kill misbehaving demons, thinking that using the boss as a proxy would be enough to deceive everyone.

Gu An had no intention of interfering, even if people died because of this, he wouldn’t care.

He had rescued too many beings before, now he wouldn’t hesitate over the life and death of one person, of course, if someone truly moved his heart, he would act as he wished.

Eventually, the boss agreed, he put down Little Five and then returned to the city alone.

As soon as he left, the three white foxes surrounded Little Five and began casting spells to protect his Soul.

Little Five’s Life Span and maximum Life Span were not merely fifteen years old, indeed they had ways to save his life, but from now on, it would be hard for him to sever ties with demons.

Gu An watched for a while and then disappeared from the spot.

Even though there were three white foxes altering his fate, Little Five’s life was destined not to Ascend to Immortality, this was the punishment Gu An had in mind for the Celestial Spirit God.

Gu An wouldn’t deliberately manipulate the Celestial Spirit God’s birth and life experiences, but would set a limit on his life.

The summer night wind still carried a bit of cold.

One white fox suddenly shivered and said in a low voice, “Why am I a bit worried, feeling like this might cause trouble.”

The fox next to her glared and scolded, “What’s there to be afraid of? Are you going to be a concubine for that profligate young master from the City Lord’s Mansion?”

“I don’t want to, he looks so disgusting.”

“Mainly because he bullies too much, we must kill him, and once that guy comes back, we’ll pass on his Martial Arts to him.”

“It can only be so.”

The voices of the three white foxes gradually quieted down, and eventually, the woods fell into a silent, oppressive and terrifying stillness.

…

Sand filled the sky, and on a cliff, Zhang Buku with all white hair stood at the edge, shirtless, looking down at the Blood Lake below.

His upper body was muscular, full of power, with blood streaks twisting, making him look even more terrifying.

A Buddha head flew out from the sand, it was the Buddha Immortal.

Buddha Immortal looked at Zhang Buku, his stone face showing a complicated expression.

He was forced to teach Zhang Buku to cultivate, but he hadn’t expected Zhang Buku to be so suited to his Dao, far exceeding his expectations.

If he could really possess Zhang Buku, maybe he could surpass this life in the next one, just thinking about it made him regret.

Of course, even with several more courage, he wouldn’t dare act recklessly, just the thought of how Gu An felt pressing down on his head made him shiver in fear.

Zhang Buku turned to look at the Buddha Immortal and asked, “Where is the Realm Master of the Divine Exotic Realm now?”

Buddha Immortal replied, “According to your wish, I have sent him to one Great Thousand World, and he is now very safe.”

“If I find out you’ve deceived me, this favor will turn into hatred.”

“Rest assured, since I’ve already done this much, why would I kill him?”

“He’s in the Taize Great World. Once your cultivation ends, I will send you to that Great World. There, the opportunities are abundant, and the control of the Immortal Gods is weak—it’s a perfect place for your growth.”

The Buddha Immortal didn’t take offense to Zhang Buku’s rudeness and replied calmly.

Thousands of years had passed, and he had now shifted his mindset, beginning to look forward to Zhang Buku’s future.

Zhang Buku had such a powerful being behind him, yet they hoped he would mentor Zhang Buku, seeing it as an opportunity. No matter how high his realm might be, one always needed a backing. Should the Celestial Court discover him one day, perhaps he could rely on the existence behind Zhang Buku.

Hearing the Buddha Immortal’s answer, Zhang Buku asked no more.

After cultivating in this realm for so many years, his heart had also calmed down.

Rather than dwelling on calculations he couldn’t resist, it was better to grasp the time and diligently cultivate.

He raised his right hand, and a bloody wind emerged from his palm, forming a small vortex. In an instant, the yellow sand from the sky rushed over, and his right hand rose higher until a yellow sand tornado appeared on his palm, becoming increasingly spectacular.

The Buddha Immortal asked in surprise, “You can already feel the force of heaven and earth in this realm?”

“Indeed, it doesn’t seem difficult. I’m curious, can I use the control over the force of heaven and earth in other Great Worlds?” Zhang Buku replied.

The Buddha Immortal smiled and said, “Naturally, the Great World I opened is not weak. Moreover, this realm has existed for an incredibly long time. If you can control this realm, you could use the force of heaven and earth in other Great Worlds.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Buku’s mouth curled into an almost arrogant smile.

At that moment, he thought of Master Gu and Li Ya.

During the long years of cultivation, he often thought of these two people, relying on the remembrance of old friends to recall where he came from and where he would go in the future.

“Master Gu, Li Ya, you can’t imagine how strong I’ve become now. I really hope to let you witness my growth.”

Zhang Buku was surging with emotions, growing stronger, gaining more and more confidence.

If Master Gu and Li Ya were already dead, Zhang Buku would also go to seek them through reincarnation!

Isn’t Immortal Cultivation all about pursuing one’s desires?

What he desired was to enjoy drinks and travel the universe with Master Gu and Li Ya.

The Buddha Immortal looked at the tornado in Zhang Buku’s hand and thought of another person, wondering if Zhang Buku would ever have the chance to compete with that individual.

“Buddha Immortal, how much longer until I can leave?”

“Don’t rush. I have one more Divine Skill to teach you. Once you master it, you can leave.”

“Oh? What is this Divine Skill?”

“It will allow you to travel through the Three Thousand Great Worlds, wandering freely along the River of Great Dao.”

“If that’s really possible, then I must visit the River of Destiny you mentioned.”

Hearing Zhang Buku bring up the River of Destiny, the Buddha Immortal smiled and said, “If you go to the River of Destiny, you must be wary of one person.”

“Who?”

“That person’s name is Lu Qiuxian. His Dao Practice is profound and unfathomable. He will find everyone who enters the River of Destiny and ask them some questions. You must not offend him.”

Lu Qiuxian?

Zhang Buku noted the name, recognizing that this was a presence that even the Buddha Immortal feared and not someone he could provoke.

…

A hundred years had passed since Xiao Wu’s resurrection. Gu An hadn’t visited him, only occasionally glancing at him.

This year, the name of Li Ya had once again spread within the Nine Spirit Continent.

Li Ya and the Saint of the Shaking Light Saint Sect had arranged a life-and-death duel at the Human World Peak to settle their karma. The day of the duel had not yet arrived, but the news had spread wildly.

In today’s vast Celestial Spirit Great World, albeit within the domain formerly belonging to the Celestial Spirit Great Earth, both Li Ya and the Saint from Shaking Light Saint Sect were world-renowned prodigies.

“I didn’t expect Li Ya to gain such popularity. It seems the world is just so-so. Back in the day, Li Ya had no power to fight back against me.”

Lv Xian was boasting about his past accomplishments, with An Shengtian, Jiang Shi, Chen Chuan, Celestial Cyan, and Tian Bai listening.

Having cultivated in the Daoist Field of the Beginningless for so many years, their cultivation levels had reached Loose Immortal, and with the Divine Skills and spells they possessed, they were full of confidence, feeling that no peer cultivators from the outside world could match them.

Tian Bai tilted his head and said, “Li Ya has the number one Divine Sword in the world. Even if your cultivation level is higher than his, I’m afraid he’s not someone you can defeat.”

Lv Xian glared and said, “Relying on a Magical Treasure doesn’t make a hero. I only believe in my physical body!”

Just then, An Xin appeared out of nowhere and said, “Think about what kind of Magical Treasure you all want. Master is preparing to craft Magical Treasures for everyone.”

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lv Xian.

Lv Xian’s face turned red, and he coughed falsely, “Why are you looking at me? I’ve already had ideas!”
