Chapter 399: The Freedom Immortal's Lifespan!
Chapter 399: The Freedom Immortal's Lifespan!
Evil Beyond Shore?
Gu An had never heard of this name, and immediately chose to use his Lifespan Probe on her.
【Evil Beyond Shore (Freedom Immortal Realm, Ninth Layer): 58,027,612/500,000,000/1,000,000,000】
A lifespan of 500 million years!
Maximum lifespan of one billion years!
Why does this person harbor hostility towards him?
Could it be that Shen Zhen's strange behavior is because he's being controlled by this person?
Gu An feigned surprise as he looked at Shen Zhen before him.
Shen Zhen slightly tilted his head and looked at Gu An, asking, "Is there a problem?"
Although the voice was Shen Zhen's, the tone was definitely not his.
Gu An pretended to be nervous as he replied, "No."
Shen Zhen released his hand and took a step to the side, glancing deeply at An Shengtian, causing him to feel a chill down his spine.
Shen Zhen smiled and turned to leave.
An Shengtian took a deep breath and approached Gu An. He wanted to say something, but Gu An raised his hand, signaling him to wait.
After Shen Zhen walked out of the forest, Gu An's face turned cold.
"Master, she..." An Shengtian asked cautiously, feeling terrified at the thought of Shen Zhen's gaze from earlier. He felt like he was being targeted by a natural enemy, and even sensed impending disaster.
"It's nothing," Gu An said, and An Shengtian immediately relaxed upon hearing those two words.
Just having the word 'Master' was enough!
An Shengtian was well aware that Gu An was none other than the Dao Support Sword Lord. Thinking of the awe-inspiring Celestial Grand Array from a few years ago, his spirits were instantly lifted.
With the Master backing him, what was there to fear?
All he needed to do was cultivate diligently, strive to surpass An Hao, and make his Master proud.
Gu An patted An Shengtian's shoulder, signaling him to continue.
An Shengtian watched Gu An's departing figure and couldn't help but touch his own shoulder. He followed along, chuckling.
The Spring Festival continued to be lively, and although Gu An was thinking about Evil Beyond Shore, he still managed to act naturally and celebrate the festival enthusiastically with his disciples.
Due to the intervention of the Dao Support Sword Lord a few years ago, the chaos in the Great Cang Continent had significantly lessened. The Spring Festival had been lively for the past few years, especially for the Taixuan Sect disciples. On such occasions, they would cast aside their worries and begin to anticipate the future with hope.
Deep into the night.
Third Medicine Valley, in the attic.
Gu An sat at the desk with his eyes closed, his Divine Perception frantically scanning the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
Unable to find anyone resembling Shen Zhen, he extended his Divine Perception towards the universe.
Although Evil Beyond Shore's cultivation was inferior to his, he couldn't bear being hated by her.
Especially since the one she hated was his true self!
She must die to prevent future troubles!
That night, the person with the heaviest heart in the Taixuan Sect was none other than its strongest member!
As dawn approached, Gu An finally located Evil Beyond Shore!
This fellow was hiding in the Annihilation Domain!
Moreover, she had been nurturing a large number of evil demons under her, clearly indicating some sort of plan.
Gu An stood up, left the room, and walked downstairs.
Just as he descended the stairs, Ji Xiaoyu came out of the room and called out to him.
"What's up?" Gu An asked with a smile.
Ji Xiaoyu approached him and examined him up and down.
Gu An touched his face and asked, "Is there something wrong with me?"
Ji Xiaoyu stared into his eyes and said, "There's a hint of death energy on you. Has some filthy thing taken an interest in you?"
Gu An pretended to be nervous and asked, "Really? Don't scare me!"
He knew Ji Xiaoyu's perception wasn't wrong. Ever since he was targeted by Evil Beyond Shore yesterday, a strand of cause and effect had entangled him, and it was growing stronger by the moment.
Gu An didn't disperse the cause and effect from his body, instead using it to track Evil Beyond Shore.
"Maybe it's just my imagination," he said.
Ji Xiaoyu was puzzled, wondering what Gu An had encountered. Although she had recovered some of her memories, she wasn't the true Gu An, so she could only sense the cause and effect on him without fully understanding it.
"You're just trying to scare me. When I go out later, I'll be scared out of my wits," Gu An complained.
"Then why don't you stay here? I'm curious. With all the resources you have, why do you still take responsibility for so many Medicine Valleys?"
"You don't understand. This is life. As a human, you can only feel at ease by doing something meaningful."
"Hmph, you're definitely hiding something."
"Don't you dare follow me. If I find out, we'll sever our ties. This is called privacy, do you understand?"
"Who gave you the right to privacy?"
"The heavens gave it to me. Don't you agree?"
The two continued to bicker, and finally, after Ji Xiaoyu twisted his ear a few times, Gu An managed to escape.
Ji Xiaoyu watched his retreating back, her brows furrowed with worry. She felt a deep sense of concern, as if Gu An was about to face a major crisis.
Gu An headed towards the Teleportation Platform, and along the way, he spotted Long Qing walking out of the valley.
"Going out to spar again?" Gu An asked with a smile.
Long Qing had been training with Shen Xinzi for many years, and his physical body had reached an astonishing level. His qi and blood were even stronger than that of a Void-Traversing Realm cultivator. Unfortunately, he didn't possess a trace of spiritual energy within him.
Long Qing stopped and faced Gu An, nodding slightly. He wore a proud expression and said, "In a few more days, my second master will take me out to hunt demons. By then, I'll finally get to fight!"
Gu An didn't offer any advice but simply nodded and asked a few concerned questions before letting him go.
Looking at Long Qing, Gu An thought of An Shengtian. There were more and more juniors in Medicine Valley, and he wondered what the place would be like a thousand years from now.
(End of Chapter)He chuckled and continued towards the teleportation platform.
After arriving at Mystery Valley, he glanced at Lu Jiujia before leaving on his own.
He walked through the forest, and gradually, a figure emerged from his body—this was his body clone technique. He had his clone replace the original body, while the original body entered a state that was difficult for Freedom Immortals to fathom.
The clone continued forward, strolling leisurely, while the original body leaped out of the Heavenly Spirit Great World and descended into the Annihilation Domain in a manner incomprehensible to mortals.
Deep within the Annihilation Domain, the place was pitch-black, devoid of stars, with only a thick fog swirling, as if the chaos was just beginning to split, oppressing to the extreme.
In the darkness, a city stood silently, like a colossal armored beast. Sharp pillars stood on the surface of the buildings, creating a chilling sight.
In the grand hall of the city, demonic energy swirled like mist. At the center of the hall was a pool with a diameter of over ten zhang. The water's surface was a bright red, and within the pool, a figure was meditating.
This was a white-haired woman, her body bare, with long hair cascading down her front and into the pool. Her back was as white as jade, and her figure was graceful.
She was none other than Evil Beyond Shore.
Her eyes were closed, and her face was so beautiful it could topple nations, but between her brows, a hint of evil energy seeped through.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and a look of astonishment and doubt crossed her face. "How did that kid's fate get severed?"
She raised her right hand and began to deduce.
Just then, a hand landed on her fair shoulder.
With this touch, her Dao heart trembled, and her expression changed dramatically.
"Who are you looking for?"
A hoarse voice entered her ears, chilling her to the bone.
How could this be...
Evil Beyond Shore was terrified to find that she couldn't move, and her mana was almost frozen within her.
She was a Freedom Immortal, and at the ninth level of cultivation, how could she be suppressed without any resistance?
Could it be...
Evil Beyond Shore thought of some legends, and she gritted her teeth, trying to suppress her fear. "Who... who are you?"
"If you can see the Heavenly Spirit Great World through her eyes, can you hear some things through her ears?"
Gu An stood behind Evil Beyond Shore, his body slightly leaning forward.
His entire body was enveloped in gray energy, concealing his true appearance, making him look mysterious and terrifying.
Evil Beyond Shore listened to his words and carefully recalled. She soon thought of someone Shen Zhen often mentioned.
Dao Support Sword Lord!
She had a deep impression of this person, thinking he might be a Freedom Immortal, but she hadn't calculated him.
Even among Freedom Immortals, there were differences. She had already entered the Reincarnation Tribulation, and although she hadn't succeeded, she had at least experienced tribulations.
"Dao Support Sword Lord, why..." Evil Beyond Shore tried to remain calm, asking cautiously.
The longer she was held down by Gu An, the more anxious she became.
In her perception, Gu An's Dao cultivation was unfathomable, and her path of cause and effect was insignificant compared to Gu An's.
Gu An could sense her fear; he intentionally gave her time to experience the feelings of panic, fear, and regret.
After all, last night, Gu An had been worried about her hostility, and killing her directly would be too easy.
He looked down at Evil Beyond Shore, taking in her entire body with his gaze.
A decent mortal vessel, but unfortunately, she provoked him!
Die! Gu An's eyes narrowed, and a terrifying divine perception surged into her body, assaulting her soul and probing her memories.
Evil Beyond Shore's body trembled, but soon, it became calm.
The grand hall fell silent, and even the swirling demonic energy came to a halt.
After a long time, Gu An withdrew his divine perception. With a slight exertion of his right hand, Evil Beyond Shore instantly turned to ashes, and a force rippled out, causing countless tiny stars to appear in the demonic mist.
Those were the shattered Dao of Evil Beyond Shore!
Gu An savored Evil Beyond Shore's memories, filled with emotion.
The Reincarnation Tribulation held such profound mysteries!
Evil Beyond Shore not only reincarnated herself but also chose a mortal to reincarnate into, and that was Shen Zhen, who was already grown up when she made her choice.
The reason she chose Shen Zhen was that he had an extraordinary talent for the path of cause and effect, and his surroundings were full of variables.
Evil Beyond Shore couldn't see through the variables surrounding Shen Zhen, and initially, she didn't pay much attention to Dao Support Sword Lord.
Until the Celestial Grand Array a few years ago, she confirmed that Dao Support Sword Lord was the variable around Shen Zhen, and she was surprised but not shocked.
It wasn't until An Shengtian's appearance that she felt the cause and effect through Shen Zhen's body, and her heart was moved.
She even wanted to seize An Shengtian's body!
The thought of this seductive female demon becoming a man made Gu An feel uneasy.
Fortunately, in Evil Beyond Shore's memories, she was always a woman, otherwise, he would feel uneasy whenever he saw Shen Zhen.
[You have successfully taken Evil Beyond Shore's (Freedom Immortal Realm, Ninth Layer) 61,098,203 years of lifespan]
A prompt appeared before Gu An's eyes, and he had obtained over six million years of lifespan in one go!
Not bad!
As expected of a Freedom Immortal, will killing a Dao Canon Freedom Immortal bring billions of years of lifespan?
Gu An was hopeful but didn't want to fight a Dao Canon Freedom Immortal just yet.
He would rather accumulate lifespan through herbs, as it was more secure. Becoming stronger without anyone knowing would also reduce a lot of enmity.
Apologies, today I can only manage two chapters, feeling a bit down.
