Chapter 342: The Reincarnation Tribulation
Chapter 342: The Reincarnation Tribulation
The black-robed elder ultimately chose to compromise, feeling that Gu An should keep his word, as he was already powerless to resist, and deceiving him would serve no purpose.
After dealing with the black-robed elder, Gu An put down Azure Heaven Peak.
He raised his eyes and looked through the wall, seeing the one-year-old Lo Qing chasing after a White Spirit Rat, which slowed down, afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch up.
It was rare to see the White Spirit Rat being so gentle, and a smile appeared on Gu An's face as well.
The intricacies of life's cycle and evolution were no longer something Gu An wanted to ponder; he needed to focus on becoming stronger.
These reincarnated identities couldn't help him live better; in this world, there was the Holy Court, the Immortal Dynasty, and beyond, the Annihilation Realm, with the Annihilation God Emperor and the Black Profound Emperor keeping an eye on him. There were also countless Great Universes, and his journey was still long.
Lo Qing had become too arrogant and was crushed to death by the Annihilation God Emperor.
He wanted to quietly surpass the Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Dao in the Heavenly Spirit Great Universe.
Gu An overestimated the Black Profound Emperor and the Annihilation God Emperor as much as possible, so that if he encountered them in the future and they became enemies, he would be able to defeat them.
Gu An shook off his lethargy and even erased his hostility towards the Black Profound Emperor, keeping his past grudges hidden in his heart.
He was Gu An, and only Gu An was his true self! Gu An picked up his brush and ink, preparing to write and express his feelings.
...
On a cloudless day, under the blue sky, a vast number of cultivators gathered in the wilderness, surrounding a giant pit with a diameter of over a hundred li. Along the edge of the pit, numerous towers stood, each with a majestic iron tower in front of them.
Bai Ziyana stood at the edge of the giant pit, gazing at the deep crimson coffin from afar, his eyes filled with worry.
"Have you ever seen it in the Annihilation Realm?" A voice sounded, and Soul Subduing Scholar walked up to Bai Ziyana's side.
Bai Ziyana turned and bowed to him, and only after finishing the bow did he speak, "I haven't seen it, but its aura makes me feel very dangerous."
"I have."
Soul Subduing Scholar stared at the deep crimson coffin, speaking calmly.
Bai Ziyana looked at him in surprise, and he continued, "Where this evil coffin appeared, the Heavenly Demon retreated, leaving behind nothing but ruins. Even the Heavenly Demon feared the existence within. I've heard that there is a being beyond the Freedom Primordial Immortal Realm who turned to ashes upon approaching it."
Beyond the Freedom Primordial Immortal Realm?
Bai Ziyana became even more terrified. He was a Sky Earth Flying Immortal, and in his eyes, the Freedom Primordial Immortal Realm represented freedom. If even those stronger than the Freedom Primordial Immortal Realm couldn't defeat this evil coffin...
He couldn't help but imagine Meng Lang, and the thought of Meng Lang turning to ashes upon approaching the evil coffin made him shudder.
Soul Subduing Scholar continued to narrate his experience, and Bai Ziyana listened attentively. At this moment, not only were they sharing their experiences, but members of other sects were also recounting their adventures in the Annihilation Realm.
On a majestic and grand pavilion, a white-robed man stood with his hands behind his back, gazing silently at the deep crimson coffin, his eyes deep and profound.
A man in golden armor appeared beside him out of thin air, bowed, and spoke softly, "Holy Sovereign, the higher-ups have instructed you not to take action and to wait for the Dark War Emperor to awaken."
Upon hearing this, the white-robed man narrowed his eyes, remaining silent as if deep in thought.
The golden-armored man whispered, "Holy Sovereign, I feel that something is amiss. Although the Heavenly Demon causes trouble for the human world every so often, this has never happened during the Holy Heaven's reign. Didn't the Holy Heaven say that all celestial beings are enemies? When has there ever been a case of seeking help from enemies?"
He wasn't worried about being overheard, as the pavilion was protected by numerous seals that could block prying eyes from higher realms.
The white-robed man showed no expression and said, "This is the era of the Sage Chancellor, and it will last for a long time. If we want to stand in the Holy Court, we must learn to play dumb."
The golden-armored man's face turned from anger to shock, and he asked through gritted teeth, "Where has the Holy Heaven gone, and why does he trust the Sage Chancellor so much?"
The white-robed man shook his head and replied, "Your realm is not high enough, so don't ask too much. You only need to know that if the Holy Court truly faces a life-or-death crisis, the Holy Heaven will definitely return. Until then, let the Sage Chancellor cause a ruckus. The bigger the disturbance, the more it might be an opportunity for us. Don't forget that the Holy God is also dissatisfied with the Sage Chancellor."
The golden-armored man's face alternated between gloom and brightness, and he eventually chose to bow and take his leave.
The white-robed man's long hair fluttered in the gentle breeze as he stood there, silently gazing at the deep crimson coffin.
...
On a scorching summer day, Gu An rode the Blood Prison Great Sage towards the Third Medicine Valley. His gaze was fixed on the distant deep crimson coffin.
A Dao Void Profound Immortal had actually appeared near the deep crimson coffin! This was the first time Gu An had sensed the aura of a Dao Void Profound Immortal.
Most likely, they were from the Holy Court.
With so many forces gathered together, Gu An didn't know how to distinguish between good and evil without taking action.
Regardless, the arrival of the deep crimson coffin had caused the demise of countless lives on one continent. In his past life, it would have been equivalent to the annihilation of all life on Earth, and yet, even so, the Holy Court had not taken action.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the Holy Court, the threat of the Heavenly Demon was greater, a long-term consideration. But for the innocent lives affected, it was still a kind of tragedy.
"Master, what's so special about that boy, Long Qing? He seems quite clever to me." Blood Prison Great Sage spoke up, bringing Gu An's thoughts back to reality.
He wasn't foolish; why would the master take in an orphan without reason? This child must be extraordinary, perhaps even more talented than Yang Jian.
Gu An replied, "He's very ordinary. He won't amount to much in this lifetime."
Blood Prison Great Sage was taken aback and laughed, "Master, are you joking with me?"
"You'll understand in time," Gu An said with a light laugh.
Blood Prison Great Sage couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you take him in?"
"It was fate, I suppose. Do you think I need Yang Jian to repay me for something?" Gu An casually replied.
Blood Prison Great Sage found this reasonable, as Gu An was not only kind to Yang Jian but also to every disciple in the valley, who all benefited from his kindness.
As Gu An would say, "Do good deeds without expecting anything in return."
"True, living a simple life isn't necessarily a bad thing," Blood Prison Great Sage agreed, but in his heart, he believed that Long Qing would achieve greatness; it was just a matter of time.
As he entered the valley, Gu An spotted a group of female disciples surrounding Long Qing, passing messages to each other, while the young Long Qing laughed with joy, making the atmosphere even more cheerful.
When they noticed Blood Prison Great Sage, they exchanged a few words and quickly dispersed, leaving Long Qing in the arms of a female disciple who was at a loss, rushing towards Anxin.
"Gu An, let's play a game!"
The voice of Nine-Finger Divine Lord suddenly echoed, and after hearing this, Gu An sent Blood Prison Great Sage to meet him.
Not long after, when Gu An sat at the chessboard, Nine-Finger Divine Lord asked with a smile, "Gu An, what's the background of that boy, Long Qing?"
He had divined Long Qing's fate and saw no issues, but because of Yang Jian's precedent, he always felt that Long Qing had a powerful background.
Gu An picked up a chess piece and smiled, "How would I know? I found him in the mountains. If you like him, take him as your disciple."
After hearing this, Nine-Finger Divine Lord laughed, "Forget it, I've already taken one of your disciples; I can't take another."
Seeing that he wasn't making a move, Gu An went first, causing him to twitch his mouth. He quickly picked up the white chess piece on the board and said, "The rule here is that black moves first. Do you understand the rules?"
After saying this, he quickly made his move.
Gu An smiled and followed with his move, then inquired about Chu Jingfeng's situation.
Nine-Finger Divine Lord had settled Chu Jingfeng overseas, while he himself stayed at Taixuan Sect, leaving Gu An unsure how to evaluate him.
Half a shichen later, Gu An stood up and left.
Nine-Finger Divine Lord stared at the chessboard, his brows furrowed.
"Where exactly is the problem...?" Nine-Finger Divine Lord muttered to himself.
No one could solve his confusion, and he lost the game. The surrounding chess players were not surprised; it would have been strange if he had won.
Gu An was in a good mood, as the next day he could go to the Tranquil Void to harvest high-grade medicinal herbs, extending his lifespan by several hundred million years!
He decided not to activate the Lifespan Reincarnation until after his next breakthrough.
Forget it, I won't activate it again until I've accumulated ten billion years of lifespan!
He didn't want to see any more descendants appear before him, and he couldn't bear to ignore them.
The sun set and the moon rose.
The next morning, Gu An entrusted Long Qing to You Yingying and left the Medicine Valley alone.
You Yingying liked Long Qing very much, and even she couldn't explain why. Before, she had disliked children the most.
That evening, Gu An returned.
He hummed a little tune along the way, feeling very cheerful.
That day, he harvested over 65 million years of lifespan in one go; it was so refreshing!
The Tranquil Void was his key investment project, and every so often, he would invest more high-grade medicinal herbs there.
Along the way, Gu An greeted every passing disciple, leaving them pleasantly surprised.
He made his way to You Yingying's courtyard and took Long Qing into his arms.
"Hey, I want to ask you something," You Yingying stopped Gu An and said.
Gu An gave her a sidelong glance and said, "My name isn't 'Hey.'"
You Yingying glared at him and said, "Lately, I've been feeling restless, as if I'll bring trouble to the Medicine Valley. Do you think I should leave?"
Gu An looked at her in surprise and said, "If you want to leave, just go. Why ask me?"
You Yingying was furious and wanted to twist his arm, but he nimbly dodged her.
"I'll leave tomorrow!"
You Yingying turned and headed towards her house.
Gu An spoke up, "Hey, if you're really afraid of trouble, why worry? Don't forget that Taixuan Sect is protected by the Dao-Protecting Sword Sovereign. What's there to fear? If you're embarrassed, I'll let you take care of Qing'er in the future. He likes you very much."
You Yingying hesitated, and Gu An didn't say more, turning to leave.
While Long Qing was still young, he could hold him more often. Once he grew up, he wouldn't be as adorable.
As for You Yingying's concerns, Gu An didn't take them to heart.
There were countless Heavenly Demons in the world; they could discuss it again when the Dark War Emperor emerged from his coffin.
Based on the current aura, the Dark War Emperor was still far from the Divine Mind True Immortal realm!
At this rate of improvement, it would take thousands of years to reach the Divine Mind True Immortal realm, right?
