Chapter 417: Longer than the Heavens and Earth, Greater than the Great Dao!
Transcendent Freedom Immortal.
What is Xuan Yuan, and what is freedom?
Gu An felt as if he were surrounded by countless visions, constantly colliding with his will, with scenes from the past and future, becoming more chaotic and violent.
No one knew how long it had been.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and his consciousness found itself in a vast and dazzling starry sky, no longer filled with those intricate and chaotic visions.
His world seemed to quiet down instantly.
His eyes regained clarity, and one by one, human figures emerged from within him, walking out and turning to face him.
There were five human figures in total!
They were Chu Lu, Xiao Sheng Tian, Long Zhan, Lu Han, and Ji!
His five reincarnated selves!
Gu An gazed at them, his eyes gradually becoming resolute.
Behind these five reincarnated selves, figures emerged from the depths of the starry sky, and although Gu An couldn't discern their identities, he could sense that they were also his reincarnated selves.
Once he truly began his reincarnation, these reincarnated selves would receive their identities.
Their appearance represented that Gu An had not yet severed his heart of reincarnation.
Their clothing varied, but their physiques resembled Gu An's, and with each step they took, their bodies seemed to teleport forward, quickly closing in on Gu An.
Hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands, their numbers continued to surge, and soon, the starry sky in front of Gu An was filled with human figures, densely packed.
Gu An remained in his meditation, gazing at his reincarnated selves without a change in expression.
He observed his reincarnated selves, and they, in turn, looked back at him, as if he were facing his original heart.
At this moment, Gu An's Dao heart gradually gained enlightenment.
It wasn't that the initial heart was the original heart, nor were the postnatal acquisitions necessarily obstacles.
His current thoughts were his original heart, and whenever he acted according to his own wishes, it was his original heart.
As long as his original heart didn't conflict with his principles, that was what he should do.
Even if some things didn't end well, what of it?
He could only pursue his own life, and for others, he could only assist them at most; he couldn't control their will.
Even if the outcome was destruction, having a period of time before that which brought him joy was also a kind of gain.
Setting aside cause and effect and fate, Gu An needed to focus on his own pursuits.
Immortality?
Too vague!
As his cultivation progressed, Gu An increasingly understood the boundless nature of the Dao. How high of a realm must one reach to attain immortality?
If he encountered stronger beings, could he still preserve his immortality?
Gu An reviewed all his memories, including those of his reincarnations.
His eyes gradually glowed with brilliance.
Boom!
The entire universe shattered, and Gu An's consciousness returned to reality, still meditating on the shattered continent, protected by the lifespan barrier.
Early stage of Transcendent Freedom Immortal Realm!
The breakthrough continued!
Gu An's insight into the Great Dao became clearer, and his understanding of cause and effect, fate, and reincarnation deepened.
These were merely transformations of his life essence; in terms of strength, his cultivation far surpassed the Daozang Freedom Immortal Realm!
Seizing the opportunity while the Great Dao's spirit energy continued to flood into his body, Gu An began to explore this universe.
His divine sense could see farther.
First, he noticed a giant gate deep in the universe, resembling the place where Ji had fallen, where the Sky Spirit Deity had guarded such a gate.
Boundary Gate!
The Sky Spirit Deity had mentioned this gate's name when he slew Ji, stating that anyone who approached the Boundary Gate would be violating the Heavenly Dao and face the destruction of both body and spirit!
Could it be that every universe had a Boundary Gate?
Gu An saw that the area beneath the gate was empty and eerily silent.
His intuition told him that if he approached the gate, he would encounter trouble.
He withdrew his gaze and looked in another direction, his divine sense taking in the beings of the Great World, even hearing their conversations.
This Great World was called the Great Void Great World, and within it resided three Freedom Immortals, and it was also a world currently in the midst of a tribulation.
The disturbances beyond the heavens had already caused unrest within the Great Void Great World, and various sects were striving to pacify the beings.
Gu An silently acknowledged his guilt, but he couldn't move his position at the moment, so he could only continue waiting.
He had to break through, and he could only blame the Great Void Great World for its bad luck.
Suddenly, Gu An had an idea. He raised his right hand, and his cultivation energy condensed into seeds in his palm, which he scattered towards the Great Void Great World. The seeds disappeared as soon as they left his hand.
"Consider it my amends."
Gu An thought to himself. As he made his move, he turned his gaze back to the Great Void Great World and noticed that its future was changing.
The future of the Great World continued to branch out, some branches withering and others continuing to grow and flourish.
Gu An even foresaw that the Great Void Great World would collide with the Heavenly Spirit Great World in the distant future.
Indeed, any variable could bring both fortune and calamity.
Gu An sighed inwardly, feeling no regret.
Even without him, the Great Void Great World would encounter variables in the future.
What were variables?
They were forces that defied the rules of this world, and anything from beyond the heavens could become a variable.
Time continued to pass, and Gu An's cultivation energy continued to surge, but he didn't neglect the lifespan barrier. His lifespan digits flickered rapidly, but the number of digits didn't decrease quickly.
Half an hour later, Gu An's cultivation finally reached the peak of the XuanYuan Zizai Immortal Realm, and he still had over a hundred million years of lifespan left.
He stood up, stretched his neck, and his entire body shimmered with golden light, exuding a mesmerizing and mysterious aura—the glow of the Hunchuan Daogold Body.
He then disappeared from his original spot and directly entered the Reincarnation Whirlpool, heading towards the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
With one step into the Reincarnation Whirlpool, he took another step out, and with yet another step, he had already arrived near the Taixuan Sect.
This was the Gengu Liangtian Dao Step! The distance between the Void Expanse Great World and the Heavenly Spirit Great World was so vast that even for a Transcendent Freedom Immortal, it was a difficult place to reach. Even with the Reincarnation Whirlpool, the vastness of Reincarnation made it challenging for many to find their way back.
Gu An felt the scent of the flowers and grass in the forest, and a smile appeared on his face.
This place still made him feel at ease.
It was now close to noon, and after just one night, Gu An had surpassed the Daozang Zizai Immortal, reaching an even higher level of the XuanYuan Zizai Immortal Realm.
Within the Heavenly Spirit Great World, in this universe, he had yet to encounter the Daozang Zizai Immortal.
Of course, the Sky Spirit Deity guarding the Boundary Gate didn't count.
Gu An looked up and could already see the silhouette of the Sky Spirit Deity. The Sky Spirit Deity had lived to the Peak Level, which was enough to demonstrate his strength.
In the eyes of countless cultivators, didn't he represent immortality and eternal life? Gu An didn't look at the Sky Spirit Deity for too long, fearing that the other party might notice him.
With his current strength, it was still dangerous to challenge the Sky Spirit Deity, especially since he had no grudges with the Sky Spirit Deity. Why provoke him?
Within the Heavenly Spirit Great World, he now had the confidence to face any challenge.
Moving forward, he didn't need to be as cautious, but he should still keep a low profile.
He wasn't competing for temporary strength but for the future of countless generations.
No matter how the Universe changed, no matter how the sun, moon, and stars shifted, he wanted to witness the evolution of everything!
He wanted to live longer than the Universe, longer than the Great Dao! He wanted to become eternal!
He wanted to savor the loneliness of immortality!
Gu An's lips curved upwards, and he reached out to touch the flowers and grass along the way. Wherever his fingers brushed, the plants seemed to come alive, swaying slightly as if they were about to become spiritual beings.
An hour later, Gu An leisurely entered the Mystery Valley.
In the valley, some disciples were weeding, some were sowing seeds, and others were cultivating their techniques, resembling a small sect bustling with activity.
Upon seeing Gu An's return, the disciples immediately greeted him.
After spending some time in the Mystery Valley, Gu An returned to the Third Medicine Valley.
The Third Medicine Valley was now the center of his life, and the Mystery Valley had lost its former importance in his heart.
As soon as he arrived at the Third Medicine Valley, a figure appeared out of thin air before Gu An.
It was Ji Xiaoyu!
Ji Xiaoyu was about to speak when her gaze suddenly froze, and she stared at Gu An, her eyebrows furrowing.
Gu An's clothing was the same as the day before, but his aura had undergone a significant change, leaving Ji Xiaoyu stunned.
"Let's go, shall we play chess in your room or at the Dao Ground?" Gu An asked with a smile.
The so-called Dao Ground was the area for playing chess, where dozens of chess tables were set up, and people came to play chess every day.
Ji Xiaoyu collected her thoughts and said, "Let's go to the Dao Ground. I also want to immerse myself in life lately."
Gu An understood her hidden meaning but didn't say more. He immediately led her towards the Dao Ground.
"What did you do last night...?" Ji Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask, turning her head to look at Gu An, her mind filled with confusion.
Gu An looked ahead and smiled, "I went to cultivate last night and gained some insights."
"It seems your comprehension is not small."
"Of course, don't you know who I am?"
Gu An smiled triumphantly, and Ji Xiaoyu felt like punching him. But as he smiled, she felt their relationship restored, and the distance she had felt earlier vanished.
Ji Xiaoyu observed Gu An and said, "You're not hiding your cultivation, are you?"
Although Gu An's cultivation hadn't increased, upon careful consideration, his aura had been constantly changing, and this was definitely not an illusion.
"You guessed it right. In fact, I'm very strong now. Even if your true self awakens, you may not be my match. Bodhi Patriarch actually wrote about me." Gu An glanced at her and spoke seriously.
Ji Xiaoyu couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
The chess tables at the Dao Ground were occupied, but when they saw Gu An arrive, two disciples voluntarily gave up their seats, and the other cultivators playing chess were drawn to Gu An.
As Gu An and Ji Xiaoyu sat down, many people immediately surrounded them.
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord also arrived, and he looked at Gu An with a peculiar expression, sensing the significant change in Gu An's aura.
W
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord couldn't understand why Gu An had beaten him at chess and suddenly had a bold thought.
C
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord glared at Gu An, thinking that this kid had no martial arts ethics!
Gu An let Ji Xiaoyu make the first move, and she didn't hold back.
After seven moves, Gu An sensed Ji Xiaoyu mobilizing the power of the Primordial Dao Seal.
She had indeed come prepared!
The Nine-Finger Divine Lord looked at Ji Xiaoyu in surprise, secretly startled. What power was this?
