Chapter 591: The Origin of the White Spirit Sword
Chapter 591: The Origin of the White Spirit Sword
Gu An recalled the life of the Eternal Emperor and indeed, he had a relationship with Yaoxuan Immortal Maiden. With their cultivation, whether they conceived a child or not was entirely up to their will.
He suspected that Zui was most likely the child of the Eternal Emperor, which was why he felt a certain karmic connection with Zui. As his cultivation broke through, this feeling became even stronger.
He continued to stare at Zui, who was pressing his thousand-foot-long index finger and crying softly.
Zui seemed unaware that some power was drilling into his body; he was solely focused on venting his emotions.
Gu An was curious if breaking through one's lifespan could teleport a person out.
As soon as this thought emerged, he received an answer.
No.
This inexplicable answer appeared in his mind, likely a response from his lifespan breakthrough.
With the answer, he dared not act recklessly.
The Absolute Heaven's Tomb was not ordinary; this piece of heaven and earth seemed like a sealed land, impossible to jump out of directly.
As time passed, Zui stopped crying and leaned against the finger wall, slowly closing his eyes as if falling into a deep sleep.
Gu An began to deduce Zui's fate, but just like before, he couldn't calculate anything. He turned to look at the thousand-foot-long index finger again and continued his deductions.
"Huh?"
Gu An suddenly exclaimed in surprise, his expression turning solemn.
This thousand-foot-long index finger would, in the future, break out of the Absolute Heaven's Tomb and descend upon the vast universe, bringing a great calamity to the myriad worlds.
Gu An witnessed countless lives falling into evil, and he saw a dark force swallowing one vast universe after another.
He stopped his deductions, his brows furrowed in concern.
This finger belonged to Yaoxuan Immortal Maiden, and with it, Gu An might be able to find her in the future.
However, it would also bring an irreversible disaster to countless lives, which meant Gu An couldn't take it out.
After much deliberation, Gu An decided to temporarily leave the thousand-foot-long index finger and Zui alone.
To prevent himself from wavering, Gu An chose to teleport back.
With this teleportation, he consumed another one billion years of his lifespan.
However, he had now reached the pinnacle of the Open Heaven Great Immortal Realm, and crossing this minor boundary had greatly enhanced his strength.
When he returned to the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, he opened his eyes, and although the surrounding environment showed no changes, he felt that the Heavenly Spirit Grand World had weakened, becoming so fragile that a mere thought of his could shatter this vast universe.
He headed in one direction, planning to travel and enjoy the scenery before returning after Xiao Lan's cultivation was thoroughly stabilized.
The path of cultivation was like a river, with countless cultivators sailing on it. Some were faster, some caught up, and some capsized, falling to the river's bottom.
Gu An looked down upon the countless lives in the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, contemplating the myriad forms of life, a process that helped him understand the essence of heaven and earth.
The birth of heaven and earth was not a difficult task for him, but the operation of their rules contained a deeper layer of Dao intent.
There were countless heavens and earth, yet their operating rules were mostly similar.
In the vast unknown, there might be an even more transcendent power supporting all things.
Gu An thought of the mysterious Dao aura on the thousand-foot-long index finger.
What kind of Dao was it, and why was it so bizarre?
...
After breaking through the Wanderer Immortal Realm, Xiao Lan was exhilarated and pulled Gu An to visit Su Zhenren and the other fellow disciples.
Although Su Zhenren and the other Wanderer Immortal teachers knew that this day would come, they never expected it to be so soon.
When Xiao Lan was still at the Qi Condensation Realm, Su Zhenren had already reached the Wanderer Immortal Realm.
Even when Xiao Lan attained the Wanderer Immortal Realm, Su Zhenren was still at the same realm...
Despite the close relationship between master and disciple, Su Zhenren couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed, but she kept her emotions in check.
Gu An stood by as an observer, watching as everyone congratulated Xiao Lan, but he couldn't help but sigh at the unfairness of fate, finding it all rather amusing.
After this, Xiao Lan wanted to return to Xiao Villa to take a look. Su Zhenren had no objections, as Xiao Lan had already reached a level where she could stand on her own. After a few words of reminder, Su Zhenren watched as Xiao Lan and Gu An departed.
A middle-aged female cultivator sighed, "Even after achieving the Wanderer Immortal Realm, she still treats that Gu An kid like a treasure. I wonder what kind of love potion he gave her."
Before Xiao Lan stepped into the Scattered Immortal Realm, they all worried that Gu An would hold Xiao Lan back.
Now, they could only marvel at Xiao Lan's deep affection for Gu An; such emotions were indeed rare.
If they could maintain this bond, it would be a beautiful story.
On their way back, Xiao Lan still rode the clouds, but her heart was filled with apprehension. The excitement of her breakthrough was replaced by the tension of returning home.
After ten thousand years, her parents had long passed away, and she was aware of this. She feared that Xiao Villa might no longer exist, and that the descendants of the Xiao family might have forgotten her.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. They say that the Heaven's Pride has its own fortune. This fortune is invisible and intangible, but it can protect those around them." Gu An comforted her.
Xiao Lan turned to look at Gu An and asked curiously, "Brother Gu, don't you have any regrets?"
From childhood to adulthood, Gu An had always been by her side. She had never seen him sad or dejected, nor had she ever seen him angry.
He always maintained a gentle and sunny disposition, and not a trace of negativity could be seen in him.

Now that she thought about it, Gu An seemed too good to be true.
The curiosity in Xiao Lan's eyes intensified, as if she wanted to see through Gu An.
"Of course, there are regrets. I've experienced everything you've been through. Many things, once experienced, become more bearable, and you won't feel as sad." Gu An replied.
Xiao Lan became more confused and asked, "You're not even twenty years older than me, why do you sound like you're tens of thousands of years older?"
Gu An smiled and said, "In my dreams, I've experienced more than you."
"Is that true?"
"Lan'er, have you ever thought about your cultivation goal?"
"I actually do."
"Tell me about it."
"I want to become the master of the Dao Court."
Xiao Lan smiled triumphantly, and seeing her smile, Gu An felt a little dazed.
Ye Lan had always loved pursuing power and influence, and it seemed that some things couldn't be changed by reincarnation.
Pursuing power and influence wasn't necessarily a bad thing; everyone needed a goal in life.
"I sincerely hope to see you succeed in your lifetime." Gu An said earnestly, and Xiao Lan felt the pressure from his words.
Indeed, her future seemed bright, but the same couldn't be said for Gu An.
Xiao Lan was afraid that Gu An would be sad, so she changed the subject.
The Heaven's Pride of the Primordial Era was far stronger than the previous epoch, and the path to fame was naturally more challenging. Xiao Lan's name had already spread within the Dao Court, but she was still unknown throughout the world.
She prepared to venture out for training, compete for treasures, punish the wicked, and eliminate evil, just like the immortals in the books.
However, she was a little worried about Gu An.
Gu An told her not to worry and that he would wait for her at his cave mansion, which relieved her.
Competing for treasures would inevitably lead to battles, and she couldn't guarantee she could protect Gu An, but she was also afraid that he would worry too much, so she hesitated.
"By the way, Brother Gu, what's the origin of this White Spirit Sword?" Xiao Lan asked curiously.
She had already noticed the uniqueness of the White Spirit Sword.
Gu An replied, "The person who gave me this sword said that it was given to her by an immortal. I didn't believe it until I followed you on the path of cultivation. Its origin is something you need to uncover, and it's beyond my abilities."
