At one point he gave me 2 free spells from any class I can currently cast, now that I can cast level 9 spells and when leveling up he is fine with us switching out spells what would you guys recommend me switch here are my current stats:

Anything of higher level that would be good? Wish?

Sorry miaunderstood as to 9th levels and only have 5ths up. Give me an hour to get to a PC and I'll have a greater look. Foresight is always my favourite spell ever, while Gate allows the only no save combo (requires True Name research however).

No problem, I am open to any suggestions :)

You definitely want to pick at least one ninth level spell, given that the cleric ninth-levels are rather weak. The best options are Wish, Foresight, Shapechange, and True Polymorph, which massively outstrip the other ninth-levels in utility. You might even consider taking two of them - otherwise, good options not yet mentioned, include Maze, Forcecage, Dominate Monster, Earthquake, or Contingency.

Destructive Wave is well worth considering, as a good aoe you can spam quite well, but I'd give Circle of Power a miss, given how much competition there's going to be for your concentration slot.

true polymorph seems incredibly helpful turning into a ancient bronze dragon and transforming into an archmage and just use that to constantly use spells.
