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

Chapter 951: Chapter 943: Heavenly Dao Immortal Book

In the beautiful mountain valley, Xuanqing Star Monarch walked on the grass, his white robe fluttering in the wind, exuding an otherworldly elegance.

He didn’t walk fast, curiously observing the scenery along the way.

He made his way to the center of the valley and saw a figure meditating under an old tree, none other than the White-haired Ancestor.

He approached the White-haired Ancestor, bowed respectfully, and said, “Xuanqing Star Monarch pays respects to the Immortal Ancestor.”

The White-haired Ancestor opened his eyes, looking at him with a gaze as calm as water.

Xuanqing Star Monarch smiled and said, “Immortal Ancestor, my Seventh Senior Brother often mentions you, always reminiscing about your journey on the Path of the Great Dao.”

The White-haired Ancestor’s expression remained unchanged and asked, “Back when your master took you as a disciple, I was present at that grand feast as well. I didn’t expect that so many years have passed, yet you have not matured.”

Hearing this, a look of embarrassment flashed across Xuanqing Star Monarch’s face.

“Ah, Immortal Ancestor, this humble one indeed lacks capability. It’s just unavoidable; my pursuit of cultivation isn’t firm enough. Compared to cultivation, I care more about other pursuits.”

Xuanqing Star Monarch feigned a cough and spoke earnestly.

The White-haired Ancestor merely looked at him calmly, without any expression, making him feel even more embarrassed.

Xuanqing Star Monarch raised his right hand, took out a piece of jade that was thirty centimeters long; a fine seam ran through its center as if two pieces of jade were joined.

“This is the Heavenly Tao Immortal Book, bestowed upon me by His Highness Taihao, with the hope that I could find 9,999 Merit Immortals in the Human World.”

Xuanqing Star Monarch, as he spoke, looked at the White-haired Ancestor and said, “Immortal Ancestor, you have expounded Tao many times, and your understanding of Central Heaven far exceeds that of other Immortal Gods. Who in this world do you think is worthy of being a Merit Immortal?”

The White-haired Ancestor looked at the Heavenly Tao Immortal Book in his hand and slowly said, “What are the standards for a Merit Immortal?”

“Possessing merit and destiny, known for holiness across the world,” Xuanqing Star Monarch replied earnestly.

The White-haired Ancestor was silent for a moment and then said, “Then you must wait. I can only say that indeed there will be such beings in the world.”

Xuanqing Star Monarch smiled and said, “Immortal Ancestor, why not let you take charge of the Heavenly Tao Immortal Book?”

“I don’t want to be involved in cause and effect, put away your thoughts.”

When the White-haired Ancestor said this, a formidable aura emanated from him, freezing Xuanqing Star Monarch’s smile.

Xuanqing Star Monarch could only smile apologetically, changed the topic, spoke a few words and then took his leave.

After turning away, the smile on Xuanqing Star Monarch’s face vanished instantly; he was troubled in his heart, as the White-haired Ancestor gave him no face at all. It seemed his Seventh Senior Brother exaggerated their connection.

“There is an Ascender named Li Ya who is currently the most suitable candidate for a Merit Immortal.”

The voice of the White-haired Ancestor came from behind, and Xuanqing Star Monarch immediately turned around, a smile of joy on his face, and he once again bowed deeply from afar to the White-haired Ancestor.

Xuanqing Star Monarch remembered the name Li Ya, planning to inquire more about him.

Every Merit Immortal in the Heavenly Tao Immortal Book needs to be carefully considered; there can’t be any mistakes, as this concerns the New Heavenly Court’s style of Immortal Gods.

…

On the mountain peaks, Lu Lingjun stood at the edge of a cliff, with the White Spirit Demon Emperor curled on her shoulder; they looked ahead, and following their gaze, the mountain ranges rose and fell, with a gigantic Seven-Colored Light Pearl floating above the mountains.

Compared to this Seven-Colored Light Pearl, all the surrounding mountains appeared small.

Looking around, other cultivators were also visible on the mountain where Lu Lingjun was, not just this mountain, but spectators could be seen on all distant mountains.

This was the Origin Great Vein, and within this gigantic Seven-Colored Light Pearl, a battle of unprecedented magnitude was taking place.

Reflected in Lu Lingjun’s pupil was a figure, continuously moving and casting spells with a domineering stance, each move possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth. Even with the Origin Seven-Colored Pearl in between, she could feel the tremendous aura of both combatants.

“Lv Xian, why does this name sound familiar, as if I’ve heard it somewhere,” the White Spirit Demon Emperor whispered to herself, flicking her tongue.

Lu Lingjun, without looking away, expressionlessly said, “Lv Xian, the foremost genius of a certain period in the Supreme Sect, later became a disciple under Wushi Sect.”

Upon hearing this, the White Spirit Demon Emperor was immediately astonished and said, “It’s really him? Even he has come, doesn’t this mean Ancestor Master Wushi is also in Central Heaven?”

Suddenly excited, its snakelike eyes glowed with fervor.

“Spirit Monarch, perhaps Ancestor Master Wushi is nearby. You must seize the opportunity!” The White Spirit Demon Emperor excitedly said, turning its head, looking around, trying to find a trace of Ancestor Master Wushi.

Lu Lingjun sighed, “Even if he is here, what would we say to him? The gap in our levels is too great.”

Thinking of Gu An, she had a ripple in her heart.

She often recalled her life at the Supreme Sect, times that she truly cherished, yet she bore no regrets, as she had her own path to follow.

Regarding her relationship with Gu An, she felt no remorse; Gu An was indifferent to worldly matters, staying in the Supreme Sect for years, while she couldn’t remain there forever.

Moreover, in her view, to interact with Gu An on an equal footing, she must rely on herself, not hoping to depend on him.

Before meeting Gu An, it was by her own strength that she ascended from the Mortal World to the Celestial Spirit Great World. Without such resolve, meeting Gu An would have been impossible.

The White Spirit Demon Emperor sighed and said, “That’s true, just reminiscing won’t work, the gap indeed is too great.”

“Don’t you find it a bit coincidental that over the years, we’ve always managed to defuse dangers?”

While watching the battle, Lu Lingjun said, leaving the White Spirit Demon Emperor stunned.

The White Spirit Demon Emperor recalled carefully and indeed found it odd.

In many crises, they were about to be cornered, yet inexplicably, the enemy would withdraw or get possessed.

Since ascension to Central Heaven, over a billion years had passed; they had endured countless tribulations, which felt perilous at the time, but looking back now, it seemed surprisingly smooth.

“Are you saying he has been helping us secretly?” the White Spirit Demon Emperor exclaimed in a whisper, once again filled with excitement, thinking that forging a connection with Ancestor Master Wushi would be an incredible fortune.

Lu Lingjun did not answer, but her expression was telling enough.

Just then.

Roar—

A resonant dragon’s roar came from the horizon, startling Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Emperor to turn and look, as did all spectators on the mountains.

An immense dragon’s might enfolded the heaven and earth; at this moment, such pressure indicated a menacing arrival.

“The battle in the Origin Great Vein should not be so dull!”

A proud voice resounded through the heavens, as a giant golden dragon’s head emerged, as huge as a mountain, conjuring terrifying winds, pressing down on the forest.

Standing atop the dragon head was a man in golden clothing, erect in posture, adorned with a purple crown embedded with three sun-like red gems. His golden clothes were embellished with red dragon scales. Upon his appearance, he was like a Divine Monarch descending from the sky, so radiant and dazzling, capturing the attention of all spectators across the land.
