Chapter 558: Heavenly Spirit Reincarnation, Borrowing Life
The scorching summer sun beat down upon the Primordial Dao Ground, where Gu An was giving a lecture by a lake. His disciples listened with rapt attention, completely immersed in his teachings.
Seeing that everyone was deeply engrossed in understanding the Dao, Gu An took out a jade flute from his pocket and examined it carefully.
"Gu An, the Great Dao you speak of is truly profound and vast, evoking many vivid scenes in my mind. However, I am curious—have you truly seen those aspects of the Great Dao?"
Shen Zhen opened her eyes and looked at Gu An, her curiosity piqued.
She was the closest to Gu An, and Her Voice Was Soft, Not Disturbing The Others.
Gu An glanced at Shen Zhen and said, "The Great Dao is omnipresent. What have you seen? Where do you wish to Go?"
Shen Zhen's Face Showed A Troubled Expression, "I See The Starry Sky, I See A White Staircase Leading To A Door."
"What Kind Of Door?"
"I Cannot Describe It Clearly. Now, Thinking Back, It Seems Vague, But I Am Certain It Is A Door."
Shen Zhen Recalled Her Thoughts, Then Continued, "Gu An, Do You Think The Scenes I See Could Be A Scheme?"
Gu An Smiled At Her, "You Must Experience And Judge For Yourself. It Is Good You Think This Way, Always Maintain A Sense Of Reverence For The Unknown. Being Vigilant Is Always Beneficial."
Shen Zhen Nodded, "I Will Be Cautious. If The Great Dao Leads Me Somewhere, I Will Not Go."
She Had Heard Gu An's Stories About An Hao And Zhu Xi, Making Her More Vigilant About Mysterious Fortunes.
She Saw The Scenes As Lures, Not Wanting To Be Deceived.
"Encounting Difficult Judgments, You Can Also Discuss With Me." Gu An Stood Up And Walked Toward The Nearby Woods.
Shen Zhen Had No More Questions, Nor Did She Follow Gu An. Over The Years, She Had Become Less Curious About His Movements.
Now, She Only Wanted To Comprehend The Great Dao, Experiencing Various Desires Within Its Vastness. She Aspired To Become A Great Cultivator Like Gu An.
On The Other Side.
Gu An Entered The Woods And Instantly Appeared In Another Place In The Mortal World.
Here Was A Prosperous Mortal City, The Streets Bustling With Activity. Among The Crowds, No Cultivators Were Visible, But A Few Shaped Demons Were Present, Performing Arts In The Plum Blossom Tower.
Gu An's Presence On The Street Did Not Attract Attention, As No One Could See Him. A Boy Even Passed Through His Body Without Any Physical Contact.
Gu An's Eyes Fell Upon A Group Of Beggars By The Wall, Among Them Was A Fifteen-Year-Old Boy With No Legs, Only Two Fingers On His Right Hand, His Suffering Unimaginable.
This Boy Was The Heavenly Spirit Deity's Reincarnation, His Thirty-Ninth Incarnation.
He Was Born In A Village, His Family Slaughtered By Bandits When He Was Less Than A Year Old. Sold To Others, He Endured Hardships, Ultimately Ending Up As A Beggar.
Gu An Had No Intention To Intervene, But He Would Visit Each Incarnation, Helping Him Recover Some Memories Of His Past Life, Feeling The Difference Between Immortals And Mortals.
Interestingly, Gu An Did Not Deliberately To Suffer, Yet Most Incarnations Were Harsh. Even With A Happy Birth, Most Died Young, The Longest Living Seventy Years.
In The Heat, This Incarnation Would Die On The Bustling Street. No One Would Notice His Passing, Dragged Away By Servants, Eventually Thrown Into The Wilderness, Prey To Be Devoured.
Gu An Stood Watching, The Bustle Of Life Around Him, A Dream-Like Scene.
This Incarnation Was Named Xiao Wu, Raised By An Old Beggar, The Fifth Of His Children, Hence His Name. The Old Beggar Died Early This Year, Leaving Xiao Wu To Survive With Da Gao, Was Ill.
Da G Ao Sought Medicines, Beaten By Servants In Another Street.
The City Bustled, Some Drunk, Others In Love, Some Dying, Some Busy. Dreamless About The Future, Just To Finish Tasks.
The bustling streets filled with people and vehicles reflected in Gu An's gaze, but he remained unmoved, quietly observing Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu seemed to sense something and slowly looked up. In his eyes, the nearby bustling streets seemed distant and unattainable.
In a daze, he spotted an additional figure on the street. People walked through this figure, and it was quite eerie.
Xiao Wu trembled as he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes to confirm that he wasn't mistaken. Indeed, there was a figure that only he could see, invisible to anyone else.
"Could that be a deity...?"
Xiao Wu spoke weakly, but the two beggars beside him were asleep and didn't hear his whisper. The other beggars also paid no attention to him, as everyone knew he was on the brink of death.
Gu An, however, was surprised that Xiao Wu could see him.
He hadn't intentionally revealed himself to Xiao Wu.
Realizing this, Gu An focused his mind, deepening his state, and instantly disappeared from Xiao Wu's view.
Xiao Wu, upon seeing him vanish, instinctively looked in other directions but couldn't spot Gu An's figure anywhere.
"It must have been an illusion. How could someone like me encounter a deity...?"
Xiao Wu lowered his head again, enduring the torment of his illness.
As dusk approached, an elderly beggar, Xiao Wu's older brother, known as Da Gao, approached. He squatted in front of Xiao Wu and placed a bloodstained bundle of medicinal herbs on the ground. He shook Xiao Wu, but Xiao Wu showed no response.
