Chapter 584: A New Reincarnation
Chapter 584: A New Reincarnation
Seeing that Ji Xiaoyu remained silent, staring into the distance in a daze, the Sun-Moon Dark Emperor could guess what she was thinking. He softly said, "The one who previously annihilated the forces beyond the realm should be him. Since he's still alive, perhaps we can better integrate into the Heavenly Spirit Grand World. Why insist otherwise?"
He understood the pride in the Reincarnation Dao Emperor's bones, and he had supported her before.
But now...
Gu An was simply too powerful!
So powerful that the Sun-Moon Dark Emperor felt it would be a waste not to seize this opportunity.
No matter how he looked at it, meeting Gu An was the greatest fortune for the Reincarnation Dao Emperor and the entire Yin-Yang Immortal Domain.
Ji Xiaoyu still didn't respond, and seeing this, the Sun-Moon Dark Emperor could only sigh and turn to leave.
As soon as he turned, Ji Xiaoyu's voice drifted over, "Tell them that I agree as well."
Hearing this, the Sun-Moon Dark Emperor was delighted and turned back to look at Ji Xiaoyu, bowing once more. He then vanished from his original spot.
Ji Xiaoyu gazed into the distance, murmuring to herself, "When will I be able to catch up to you?"
No one answered her, and she didn't need an answer.
Her thoughts drifted, back to many years ago.
At that time, Gu An was still young, but his eyes held a different light from the other children in the manor.
...
Time passed slowly.
A thousand years went by in the blink of an eye.
The treasures of the Battle Court officially unveiled a grand era in the mortal world. The first treasure of the Battle Court was unearthed, triggering a scramble among numerous powerful beings. Fortunately, more treasures soon appeared, preventing the fighting from becoming too brutal.
Various cultivation sects in the mortal world began searching for these treasures. There were more Battle Court treasures than cultivators in the human realm, as the vast universe had just been reshaped, and humans had yet to spread across the entire world.
The Heaven and Earth Sect also joined this trend, with An Xin often bringing news back to the sect, stirring up excitement among the others. However, Gu An didn't allow them to leave.
Gu An's attitude calmed them down, indicating that he didn't consider the treasures outside as valuable.
After reaching the Open Heaven Great Immortal Realm, Gu An's Dao intent grew stronger, and he could help the disciples in the sect comprehend more.
The Xueyu Great Sage had already broken through to the Wanderer Immortal Realm. His talent was not lacking, and before his Nirvana, he also had a lifespan limit of 9,999 years. In the sect, only Tian Xiao'er could compare with him in terms of talent.
During this millennium, the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain descended upon the Heavenly Spirit Grand World. Gu An witnessed the negotiations between the Dao Court and the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain, eventually reaching an agreement to allocate a region at the edge of the Grand World for the Yin-Yang Immortal Domain to settle.
After returning to the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, Ji Xiaoyu didn't visit the Taixuan Sect or establish any connections with the Ji family.
Gu An could hear Ji Xiaoyu's inner thoughts. She often thought of him, but deep down, she had a strong sense of competitiveness. She wanted to stand alongside Gu An as equals.
For this, Gu An could only respect her decision.
He couldn't make everything in the world conform to his wishes, and Ji Xiaoyu's determination made him look forward to what would happen.
He had blessed many people, but it was rare for someone not to want to rely on him, which he found intriguing.
Third Miss, keep up the effort.
No matter how hard you try, you'll never catch up to me! Gu An thought with satisfaction. His gaze turned to the distant sky, where a barrier enclosed Lu Xian and Chen Chuan as they sparred.
Although they had a thousand years of combat experience, these two would still spar privately. Their relationship was excellent, so Gu An didn't stop them.
In his previous life, Xiao Chuan was just a low-ranking member of the Taixuan Sect, and Lu Xian was the first genius of the sect whom he admired and looked up to. Now, the two had become the closest of fellow disciples—truly a twist of fate.
No, it should be said that their connection was an ineffable bond.
After watching for a while, Gu An turned his gaze in another direction.
Xiao Chuan and Lu Jiu Jia had both reincarnated into the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, and Ye Lan would soon follow.
Ye Lan carried the Extinction Dao Fate Seal, and Gu An could sense her journey through the Reincarnation Dao, drawing closer and closer to the Heavenly Spirit Grand World.
Reincarnation was complex, and rebirth could lead to other vast universes. However, the world of birth would have a certain attraction to the reincarnated soul, ensuring they would eventually return to their own vast universe.
Gu An watched Ye Lan's soul from afar, already witnessing seventeen lifetimes of her past.
Due to her cultivation of the Primordial Reincarnation Skill, Ye Lan awakened her past life's memories in each lifetime. She continued to cultivate the Primordial Reincarnation Skill, accumulating cultivation, which resulted in her talent increasing with each life.
Perhaps due to her past life memories, she lived a solitary life in each lifetime, never marrying. But before each death, she was happy, believing that she would meet Gu An in the next life.
This was her reincarnation—dying with anticipation and being reborn with confusion.
Watching Ye Lan's past life experiences, Gu An was also touched.
This silly girl...
Regardless, Ye Lan had finally returned.
Gu An had already deduced where she would be reincarnated, so he stood up, left a few words of instruction for Anxin, and then disappeared from his original location.
He arrived on a vast continent, larger than the Great Azure Continent, filled with numerous empires and countless cultivation sects.
Notably, this place was under the jurisdiction of the Dao Court.
Gu An appeared in the mountains, walking in a certain direction. Along the way, he had already deduced Ye Lan's fate in this lifetime.
After accumulating over seventeen lifetimes, Ye Lan's innate reincarnation ability would grant her extraordinary talent, ensuring an extraordinary life and a destined connection with the Dao Court.
Gu An wasn't afraid of the trouble; he decided that Ye Lan would have a smooth and fulfilling life, free from any hardships.
Thinking of the Dao Court, Gu An also recalled his previous reincarnation, Lu Han, who had a complicated relationship with the Dao Court.
Of course, these two Dao Courts were not the same.
In the vast universe, there were many powers named Dao Court.
Regardless of which Dao Court it was, the fact that they bore the name 'Dao' was proof of their ambition.
After walking for a while, Gu An spotted a mountain villa. Inside, there were cultivators, but they were only at the Foundation Establishment realm. Having given up on cultivation, they lived a secluded life, far from the secular world.
Gu An's aura suddenly became restrained. His treasures disappeared, and he donned plain black clothes, with the Azure Crane Sword and White Spirit Sword at his waist. Although his appearance remained unchanged, he instantly transformed from an immortal into an ordinary person, like a scholarly hero from the martial world.
He approached the villa's gate and knocked on the door.
There was no mistake in his first action, his first appearance, his first impression, and his first encounter.
After a dozen breaths, someone finally came to open the door. It was a young servant who cautiously examined Gu An and asked, "What's your business?"
Gu An smiled and said, "My name is Gu An. I'm traveling the world and wish to stay here for a few days. Can you pass on my request? I won't freeload."
The young servant was about to refuse, but upon hearing Gu An's words, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Please wait!"
The door slammed shut.
A mighty Open Heaven Great Luo Immortal was locked out by a mortal.
Gu An found it amusing and didn't feel offended at all, as this villa would become Ye Lan's home in the future.
After a long while, the door opened, and Gu An was welcomed inside.
Sunlight shone down, illuminating the courtyard wall beside him. Green sprouts gradually emerged from the cracks in the wall, growing faster and faster.
As the entire courtyard became covered in weeds and vines, eighteen years had passed.
The door opened, and a girl in yellow clothing hurried out, followed by Gu An.
The girl in yellow looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, with a delicate face and a lively figure. Her long hair was tied in two braids that hung over her shoulders. After descending the steps, she turned to look at Gu An.
"Brother Gu, where are we going today? I heard there are monsters nearby. Let's go catch some!"
The girl in yellow asked eagerly, her face brimming with youthful smiles, like the radiant morning sun.
Gu An looked at her and sent out a lifespan probe.
【Xiao Lan (Cultivation Realm, 3rd Layer): 17/160/9999】
Her maximum lifespan had finally increased to 9,999 years!
Xiao Lan was born with a maximum lifespan of 7,000 years. Over these years, Gu An had used his Dao intent to help her comprehend the Dao in her dreams, leading up to this day.
Everything seemed so coincidental.
Today, Xiao Lan was about to experience a turning point in her life.
Gu An smiled, causing Xiao Lan's face to turn red.
She stared at Gu An and asked, "Brother Gu, why aren't you saying anything? Are you thinking..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly sensed something and turned around abruptly.
Following the mountain path, they saw a woman in white walking out of the woods. Her face was coldly beautiful, and she carried a long zither on her back, looking like a fairy walking in the forest. Xiao Lan, who had never left the area within a hundred li, was stunned by the sight.
The woman in white's gaze fell upon Xiao Lan, and her eyes remained calm, but this calmness lasted only for two breaths. Her pupils suddenly dilated, and she appeared in front of Xiao Lan as if she had teleported, grabbing Xiao Lan's right wrist.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Lan exclaimed in surprise, trying to shake off the woman in white's hand, but to no avail.
The woman in white stared intently at Xiao Lan, muttering to herself, "Such a remarkable root bone... Rarely seen in the world..."
Gu An didn't intervene, watching the scene with a smile.
This woman was at the Wanderer Immortal Realm, and she would be Xiao Lan's first master, guiding her onto the path of cultivation.
Gu An suddenly felt relieved.
The world had changed, but the sun, moon, and stars remained, and she was right before his eyes.
