Chapter 374: Reincarnation Tribulation
Chapter 374: Reincarnation Tribulation
After slaying the Tyrant Demon Emperor, the Nine Abysses World did not dissipate but remained in its heavenly form, and the creatures trapped in the illusion gradually awakened.
When Ye Lan came to, her first instinct was to turn around. Seeing that Gu An was safe, she heaved a sigh of relief.
An Xian opened her eyes, saw Gu An, and immediately moved closer to him, patting her chest with a look of relief.
As the Taixuan Sect disciples all woke up, they gathered together, discussing what had just happened, their minds tense, fearing another attack from the Tyrant Demon Emperor.
Unbeknownst to them, the master of the Nine Abysses World had already turned to ashes.
Gu An, having searched the Tyrant Demon Emperor's soul, gave Lo Qing a meaningful look, and a sigh escaped his heart.
Lo Qing was the last of the Lo family's lineage, and the Tyrant Demon Emperor had been sent to exterminate the Lo family's bloodline.
The black-clad elder in Qingtian Peak was Lo Qing's subordinate, and Lo Qing's reincarnation was to escape the pursuit of the forces behind the Tyrant Demon Emperor.
Battle Court!
The Battle Court was no longer under the control of the Lo family's descendants, and that was why the lord of the Battle Court wanted to eliminate Lo Qing, fearing the resurrection of powerful Lo family members through their bloodline.
In the past, Lo Qing had hidden well after his reincarnation, and his subordinates had infiltrated Qingtian Peak to escape the Battle Court's pursuit, secretly entering the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
However, the riot in the Annihilation Realm years ago had caught the attention of the Tyrant Demon Emperor.
The Dark War Emperor was sent by the Tyrant Demon Emperor, or more accurately, he was cultivated by the Tyrant Demon Emperor. The Battle Court's heritage that the Dark War Emperor possessed came from the Tyrant Demon Emperor, and it was through the Dark War Emperor's unrestrained actions that the Tyrant Demon Emperor guessed that Holy Heaven had reincarnated.
To ascend to the ninth level of the Freedom Immortal Realm, one must reincarnate and undergo tribulations. After a hundred lifetimes, they would have the opportunity to break through to the Dao Fruit Realm!
This is the Reincarnation Tribulation!
In the Tyrant Demon Emperor's memory, he had been defeated by Holy Heaven and nearly lost his life.
This was also the reason why the Tyrant Demon Emperor dared not come to the Heavenly Spirit Great World himself. The Dark War Emperor was just a pawn, and even the Holy Minister of the Holy Court was unaware of the Dark War Emperor's true backer.
Thinking of the Lo family's lineage now reduced to Lo Qing, Gu An felt a twinge of melancholy.
Gu An was not afraid of the Battle Court's attack. From the Tyrant Demon Emperor's memory, stronger forces from the Battle Court couldn't enter this universe; only Freedom Immortals could. That's why the Battle Court sent the Tyrant Demon Emperor, but even he didn't know the exact reason.
The Tyrant Demon Emperor had arrived in this universe thousands of years ago, when Lo Qing's parents were still alive, and they had died at his hands.
Millions of years later, the Lo family's bloodline had been exterminated in various universes, leaving only Lo Qing.
As the disciples discussed the Tyrant Demon Emperor's schemes, Gu An remained silent. With a thought, the blood-red sky began to silently collapse.
"Look up!" someone exclaimed, drawing everyone's attention upwards.
Seeing the distorted sky, everyone panicked. Before they could think further, the dizziness they felt before entering the Nine Abysses World returned, causing them to close their eyes quickly.
The feeling of being unable to move or perceive their surroundings made everyone anxious.
Only Gu An kept his eyes open. With his divine sense, he caused the Nine Abysses World to collapse, dividing the power of cause and effect into the power of rules, bestowing a blessing upon everyone.
Through cause and effect, Gu An returned everyone to their original positions in the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
At the same time, the great cultivators in the universe witnessed the giant black sphere trembling and transforming into black mist, making them even more anxious, fearing for the safety of their juniors inside.
As the black mist dissipated, they seemed to sense something and turned to look, their faces lighting up with joy.
They felt the auras of their juniors, and regardless of the Tyrant Demon Emperor's schemes, at least their juniors were alive.
The Ancient Immortal Emperor and the Sage Ancestor frowned, exchanging a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
What was going on?
On the other side, in the Taicang Continent, at the Taixuan Sect branch.
Ye Lan suddenly opened her eyes, seeing Gu An sitting across from her with his eyes closed. She let out a sigh of relief and looked around, her face filled with joy.
Zhen Qin woke up next, followed by Gu An.
"Are we back? Have all the demons been killed?" Zhen Qin asked cautiously.
Gu An took a deep breath and said, "I'm not sure. Do you feel like something has been added to your consciousness?"
He had used the Tyrant Demon Emperor's power of cause and effect to enhance the understanding of the Path of Cause and Effect for all living beings, which had nothing to do with him, so he wasn't worried about being exposed.
Moreover, his Dao Image Mind Technique naturally isolated cause and effect predictions.
Ye Lan and Zhen Qin nodded and began sharing their insights. Not only them but all the beings who had returned from the Nine Abysses World were curious about the Path of Cause and Effect in their consciousness.
After chatting for a while, Gu An stood up and said, "I've kept you long enough; I should be going now."
Ye Lan wanted to say something, but Gu An turned and left, concealing his abilities and reputation.
"Don't worry, we're back," Zhen Qin reassured her. With their cultivation, they could hear the voices outside the mansion, confirming their return.
Ye Lan frowned, worried about being pulled into the Nine Abysses World again.
But then, a thought occurred to her—if that mysterious being intended to do so, what was the point of returning them?
...
As soon as Gu An returned to the Third Medicine Valley, she was stopped by An Xian and Lo Qing, who excitedly shared their newfound insights, drawing more and more people to gather around.
Hearing about their half-day adventure, the disciples were amazed.
Lo Qing turned to the approaching Divine Heart Son and asked, "Master, what exactly is the Nine Abysses World?"
Divine Heart Son furrowed his brows. He hadn't been chosen, so he replied, "I don't know either. Tell me in detail about your experience."
Lo Qing nodded and then approached Divine Heart Son to recount their journey to the Nine Abysses World. When she mentioned the battle with the Heaven Demon, he became excited.
Taking advantage of Lo Qing attracting everyone's attention, Gu An slipped back to her room.
With the fall of the Tyrant Demon Emperor, the calamity brought by the Heaven Demon seemed to be coming to an end, and there should be peace for a while.
As long as the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court don't have internal conflicts.
Gu An saw a large number of powerful cultivators returning from the Celestial Realm, and all sects were inquiring about their disciples' experiences.
Who knows what changes this cause and effect would bring to this world.
Those chosen to enter the Nine Abysses World were all geniuses and extraordinarily lucky. After tens of thousands of years, they would dominate the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
Tens of thousands of years... it seemed so far away.
Gu An, who was 425 years old, sighed in her heart.
...
Above the cloud sea, a woman in yellow robes flew through the clouds, and it was Zhu Xi, who possessed the Primordial Swallow Essence Body.
She gazed at the majestic peaks towering into the clouds in the distance, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"Human World Peak, I've finally arrived," Zhu Xi murmured to herself.
Fifty years had passed since the journey to the Nine Abysses World. During these years, she had traveled the world, and when she heard that the Human World Peak was recruiting mortal spirits, she decided to try her luck.
The Human World Peak was a top-tier immortal sect in the mortal world. If she could establish herself there, she wouldn't need to keep moving around.
At the same time, on Firm Sky Peak, Gu An, who was reading in the courtyard at the peak, sensed Zhu Xi's aura. He was a bit surprised; was this a coincidence?
He didn't plan to show any special consideration for Zhu Xi; instead, he wanted to see how she would perform after joining the Human World Peak.
An Xian, who was cultivating Dao Astral Energy beside him, turned her head towards Gu An and said, "Master, the primal energies in my body are running amok, and I can't control them!"
Her tone was anxious and panicked.
Gu An, lying on the chair, didn't get up. He simply raised his left hand and flicked his index finger towards her.
A powerful energy shot through the air and entered An Xian's body, instantly calming the primal energies within her and restoring their normal flow.
An Xian heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Gu An with admiration and asked, "Master, you're so amazing! When will I be able to cultivate to your level?"
"Cultivate for a hundred thousand years," Gu An replied casually, continuing to flip through the book with his left hand.
"A hundred thousand years? How long is that? Who can live that long?" An Xian complained, feeling that her master was teasing her.
Gu An ignored her and continued reading.
The book he was reading wasn't Green Knight Travels; it was a strange book he had found in the Human World Peak. It narrated a bizarre tale about a disciple falling in love with a female demon, and it was a forbidden book, hard to come by.
In Gu An's opinion, the writing was not as delicate as Xuan Tianyi's, but it excelled in its strangeness. The female demon reincarnated several times to find the protagonist, touching the heart.
As dusk approached, Gu An finally got up, stretched lazily, and left with An Xian.
After returning to the Taixuan Sect, the two landed in a forest and headed towards Mystery Valley.
An Xian talked about her cultivation progress for the day, full of energy.
Gu An didn't mind the noise and listened attentively, occasionally offering guidance.
Upon reaching Mystery Valley, Gu An spotted a familiar face—Jiang Qiong!
Jiang Qiong was standing in front of the wooden fence in the garden, admiring the vibrant flowers.
Gu An asked An Xian to return to the Third Medicine Valley, on the other hand, approached Jiang Qiong.
An Xian looked at Jiang Qiong's back with suspicion, but she didn't stop; instead, she headed towards the teleportation array.
"How long have you been here?" Gu An's voice reached Jiang Qiong's ears, but she didn't turn around. She stared at a flower and replied, "About two hours."
When Gu An reached her side, she finally turned around and examined him.
"After all these years, you're still in the Nascent Soul Realm? I sensed your aura in the Nine Abysses World, and you should have obtained an opportunity as well." Jiang Qiong asked with a frown.
Gu An raised his eyebrows and asked, "What realm are you in, to look down on the Nascent Soul Realm?"
Jiang Qiong scoffed, "I'm preparing to break through to the Body Merging Realm. I came to see you before attempting the tribulation."
"Body Merging Realm?"
Gu An's eyes widened in surprise.
Jiang Qiong smiled and said, "It's just the Body Merging Realm. I think it's quite slow. In this world, what's so special about the Body Merging Realm?"
Gu An fell silent.
Jiang Qiong thought she had struck a nerve, so she changed the subject. "You should advise your disciple. That Zhen Qin girl wants to take revenge on Peonie Ghost Mother. If I hadn't intervened, she would have died at Peonie Ghost Mother's hands."
