Chapter 476: Auspicious Celestial Horse, The Book that Governs Life and Death
"Guan An!"
A female voice called from downstairs, interrupting Guan An's train of thought. He looked down and saw Yu Yingying standing below, waving at him.
Yu Yingying's maximum lifespan was five thousand years. Previously, due to the suppression of the Heavenly Demon's karmic cause and effect, her cultivation couldn't progress. After Guan An helped her resolve her karmic entanglements, she regained her innate talent, and her cultivation had now reached the eighth layer of the Fusion Realm.
Guan An looked down at her and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yu Yingying looked at him and said, "I plan to return to the Star Sea Congregation."
"Go ahead, I approve," Guan An replied with a smile.
Ever since Guan An's identity was exposed, various sects had been trying to curry favor with him, and the Star Sea Congregation was no exception. Yu Yingying's family was especially persistent in sending her messages.
She found this very irritating, so she decided to leave the Taixuan Sect and embark on a journey of self-cultivation.
Returning to the Star Sea Congregation was just an excuse; she intended to wander the world.
Guan An wouldn't stop her.
Hearing Guan An's words, Yu Yingying wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Looking up from downstairs, she felt that Guan An was unapproachable, and her heart felt a sense of relief.
Since she had already made up her mind, why was she hesitating now?
Guan An could hear her inner thoughts, but he didn't say anything. He just smiled and watched her.
"I'll return after achieving the Immortal Dao cultivation!" Yu Yingying huffed, then bowed and left.
The Blood Prison Great Sage, who was meditating under the tree nearby, merely glanced at her and continued his cultivation with closed eyes.
Guan An watched Yu Yingying leave, feeling a hint of emotion in his heart.
No matter how he tried to act as he did before, the gap in cultivation always created an insurmountable barrier between him and those around him. They remained as close as before, but compared to the past, something was missing.
Perhaps this was the price of power.
Guan An withdrew his gaze and continued admiring the snowy scenery of the Medicine Valley.
It snowed every year, and if one observed closely, they would find that the snow scenery was different each year, just like the intricate and intertwined karmic cause and effect of all living beings, constantly changing.
Recently, Guan An had been thinking of creating his own divine ability, a Karmic Cause and Effect Divine Ability.
Isolating space and time to kill enemies, making it impossible for them to predict his moves!
Just like this winter snow, it would eventually melt away, leaving no trace behind.
After bidding farewell to An Xin, Long Qing, and the others, Yu Yingying left that very day. Her departure sparked some discussions among the disciples but ultimately didn't cause any major waves in the Third Medicine Valley.
The Third Medicine Valley now had seven thousand disciples, along with many chess and painting enthusiasts, resembling a small cultivation world. People came and went, and even in this small cultivation world, Yu Yingying couldn't shine. Her departure meant she would soon be forgotten.
The winter snow fell heavier, as if it wanted to engulf the entire vast land.
As the winter snow passed, the new spring arrived.
During this year's Spring Festival, Guan An left the valley early. He went to the Paradise Beyond Heaven and celebrated the festival with Tian Yao'er and the other two girls. In previous years, he wouldn't forget them, but he would celebrate with them after the Spring Festival.
Guan An sat under a tree, drinking wine, while Tian Yao'er sat beside him, helping him with the wine. They laughed together, watching Tian Qing and Tian Bai's performance. The girls were acting out the battle between Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen, complete with dialogue.
Watching their performance, Guan An felt that they hadn't changed much. Now that he thought about it, experiencing trials might not always be a good thing.
Of course, whether to undergo trials or not still depended on their choice.
After Tian Qing and Tian Bai finished their performance, Tian Yao'er went up next. She demonstrated her divine ability.
Even without Guan An saying a word, the three girls chattered non-stop, keeping the atmosphere lively.
Guan An's heart grew more peaceful. He smiled, watching Tian Yao'er while contemplating his path of karmic cause and effect.
The path of karmic cause and effect was something all cultivators would encounter. It was the simplest yet most challenging, so many cultivators, upon reaching higher realms, would delve into other Great Principles.
Following the path of karmic cause and effect, how did Guan An's path differ from others on the same path?
Having experienced countless life cycles, Guan An's understanding of the path of karmic cause and effect was profound. What he lacked was creation.
His Dao Fruit had given birth to his unique path, and he had also created a powerful divine ability of his own, the Longevity True Speech.
Longevity True Speech, using words to control the world, relied on the path of karmic cause and effect.
Guan An looked at the Destiny Pen on the table.
He had the pen, which could utter words of karmic cause and effect. Could it be that he still lacked a book?
Speaking of which, his fate was intertwined with writing books. He had written many books, some copied from ancient Chinese classics, and some of his own creation. If he were to incorporate his understanding of the path of karmic cause and effect into a book, would it be feasible?
Gu An suddenly thought of the Book of Life and Death from Journey to the West. With a stroke in the book, one could determine life and death.
His thoughts began to burst forth, and gradually, he entered a state of meditation.
After a while, Tian Yao'er, Tian Qing, and Tian Bai, who were laughing and chatting, suddenly felt Gu An's Dao intent. They turned their heads to look at Gu An, their eyes filled with astonishment.
Not daring to disturb Gu An, they exchanged glances with each other and followed suit, sitting down to sense Gu An's Dao intent.
The secluded paradise became quiet.
...
Under the dazzling starry sky, on the desolate land, a swaying black shadow was moving forward.
A
Zhang Buku wore a tattered black robe, vaguely revealing his strong muscles, which were quite eye-catching. His black hair was casually draped, reaching down to his waist.
He looked up, his eyes bright, and asked, "Master, how far are we from the Heavenly Spirit Great Universe?"
T
After leaving the Heavenly Spirit Great Universe, they constantly traveled through the universe until a few years ago when they were swept into the darkness by a river filled with spacetime rules, completely severing their connection with the Heavenly Spirit Great Universe.
Hearing this, Zhang Buku's eyebrows furrowed with a hint of sadness.
He missed his master and longed for Li Ya.
But he was no longer that weak self. Wherever he went, he strived to become stronger.
Suddenly, he saw streaks of meteors streaking across the starry sky, like a torrential rain, sweeping across the entire starry sky in a spectacular display. Then, he witnessed an awe-inspiring sight. Behind the countless meteors was a giant horse, its body shimmering with dazzling brilliance. It trod upon auspicious clouds, passing over the land where they stood.
Beneath this giant horse, regardless of one's cultivation level, they would feel utterly insignificant. The dim land was illuminated, as if transitioning from the darkness of night to the brightness of day.
The Divine Mystery Ghost King and the Divine Mystery Vengeful Ghosts behind them were also astonished, their voices rising in exclamations.

"The Heavenly Horse?"
Zhang Buku muttered to himself. He had seen many divine beasts and ferocious beasts, but never an auspicious sign like the Heavenly Horse.
The Heavenly Horse was so majestic, seemingly larger than the heavens and earth, and it emitted a sacred light that inspired awe, as if it were the most perfect creation in the world.
Until the Heavenly Horse chased after the meteor shower and disappeared, the land returned to darkness, but Zhang Buku's mind still retained the image of its graceful figure.
What kind of existence could tame such an auspicious sign?
Zhang Buku had this thought, and then he felt ashamed. How could such an auspicious sign be desecrated?
He shook his head and continued forward.
The Divine Mystery Vengeful Ghosts behind him continued discussing the Heavenly Horse, feeling amazed and unable to forget it.
T
A smile appeared on his face. Since arriving in this universe, he finally saw hope of breaking free from his pawn identity.
Zhang Buku didn't think that much. He only wanted to become stronger.
"If Master and Li Ya could see the Heavenly Horse, that would be wonderful. Alas, you are not blessed enough."
Zhang Buku's thoughts amused himself.
The starry sky shone brightly, but it couldn't illuminate the land. They walked in darkness, yet they marched towards the dawn.
...
Third Medicine Valley, the entrance to Medicine Valley.
Gu An strolled forward, playing with a black leather book in his hand. He tossed the book into the air, caught it, and continued this way, playing and advancing.
"Master!"
A delighted voice rang out, and An Xin appeared out of thin air in front of him.
Gu An took the opportunity to grab the black leather book that had flown into the air and then hid it in his embrace.
This was the book that ruled over life and death; it couldn't be allowed to fall into anyone's hands.
