Chapter 736: Enhancing Life Span
Chapter 736: Enhancing Life Span
Li Ya and his disciple spent only a month at the Wushi Dao Field. During this month, Gu An and Li Ya enjoyed the mountains and rivers, occasionally discussing the Dao, as if they had returned to their youth.
The reason for Li Ya's visit to Gu An was to express his gratitude, but even until their farewell, he couldn't bring himself to say the word "thanks."
Playing with Li Ya for a month greatly lifted Gu An's spirits. After Li Ya left, he even gave a Dao lecture to all his disciples, which helped the Wushi Disciples understand Li Ya's importance to Gu An.
The peaceful days continued. After reaching the peak of the Mystic Qi Primordial Immortal Realm, Gu An felt that even a life span of trillions of years might not be enough for his next breakthrough. Thus, he began to enhance his Life Span income.
The training ground now covered the entire Nine Spirits Continent, and increasing the quantity of medicinal herbs was a breeze. With the help of the Ghost Mother of the Night-Blooming Cereus, Gu An had it easy, needing only to enjoy the results.
A thousand years later, his annual Life Span income increased to two hundred million years.
Another million years passed.
Similar yet different struggles played out within the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, but overall, the world remained peaceful, with the conflicts between sects not affecting the common people.
In contrast to the tranquility of the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, the Three Thousand Great Worlds were thoroughly transformed by the arrival of the Xianshen.
Each great world had several Xianshen descending, commanding the elements and bringing peace to the heavens and earth. The masses began to worship the Xianshen, making the Heavenly Dao Qi Yun enveloping the great worlds even more dense.
The Xianshen under the command of the two Celestial Emperors began their operations. They not only courted the lords of the heavens and earth but also guided the masses to worship them. At the same time, they portrayed the opposing Celestial Emperors and Xianshen as evil beings, depicting the future Celestial Emperor war as a catastrophe for the Three Thousand Great Worlds, a battle between good and evil.
Gu An, staying within the Heavenly Spirit Grand World, watched the actions of these Xianshen and felt that the Heavenly Court was nothing special.
The Heavenly Court was merely powerful; its order and conduct did not match the name of the Xianshen.
However, the gap between the Xianshen and Mortal Souls was vast. Mortal Souls could not see the actions of the Xianshen. Any casual word from a Xianshen could become an ancient myth that lasted for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. It was hard for Mortal Souls to guess that these myths were schemes. Generations of beliefs divided the Three Thousand Great Worlds, causing mutual enmity.
At the Wushi Dao Field, just past noon.
Two figures descended from the sky, landing on two adjacent mountain peaks. They were none other than the Xueyu Great Saint and Zui.
Gu An and An Xing stood in the mountain gorge, looking up at them. The two had just flown out of the Barrier Gu An had created, and the match had already been decided.
Zui was no match for the Xueyu Great Saint, but he managed to injure him, which left the Xueyu Great Saint feeling incredulous.
"You little brat..."
The Xueyu Great Saint widened his eyes, staring at Zui on the opposite mountain peak, his emotions hard to settle.
Zui, though still a young man, already possessed the demeanor of an Eternal Emperor, standing tall and proud with a defiant smile on his face, full of vigor and spirit.
"Xueyu Great Saint, the gap between us has narrowed once again!"
Zui declared, his voice loud and echoing through the heavens and earth.
The Xueyu Great Saint replied irritably, "Brat, if you want to defeat me, you still need to cultivate more. I didn't take you seriously just now."
"Is that so? I don't believe it. I felt you were already in a hurry."
"Hmph, that’s my fighting style!"
The two began bickering, neither willing to back down.
Beside the stream in the mountain gorge, Gu An and An Xing watched them argue, both smiling.
"Little Junior Brother’s talent is truly terrifying. It feels like he’s even stronger than Tianhao and Emperor Tian Hong. Master, where does he come from?"
An Xing asked curiously. She had always been impressed by Gu An’s guidance, so it made sense to her that Sin’s cultivation speed was so fast. However, she was different. She was also taught by Gu An and understood the incredible nature of Sin’s abilities.
This young man wasn’t just growing in cultivation; he was already beginning to shape the Great Dao within him. This Great Dao was constantly growing stronger, and An Xing could sense a chilling Karma that even the Emperor Eye couldn’t penetrate.
"He comes from the Desolate Heaven Tomb, a place beyond the Great Dao..."
Gu An simply explained Sin’s origins. He held An Xing in high regard, and since she wanted to know, he wouldn’t refuse her.
An Xing was his successor, and one day, she would become the Master of Nothingness, allowing him to roam the heavens freely.
After hearing this, An Xing’s expression didn’t change much, but she felt a deep sense of pity for Sin’s past.
Although Master didn’t clarify Sin’s exact identity, she didn’t press further.
Sin looked young, but having spent so long in the Desolate Heaven Tomb, the loneliness he endured was unimaginable.
Given that he had lived for so long, his rapid growth now was understandable. Perhaps during those long years, he had been accumulating strength, and now it was all coming to fruition.
Gu An and An Xing’s conversation didn’t reach Xueyu Great Saint or Sin. When the two flew down, Gu An and An Xing stopped talking.
"Master, do you think he was just trying to provoke me?" Sin asked Gu An, frowning.
Gu An patted his head and smiled. "A win is a win, and a loss is a loss. Why worry about how much strength your opponent used? Focus on your cultivation, and one day, you’ll win."
Sin found this reasonable and chuckled, no longer dwelling on the issue.
Xueyu Great Saint, however, was unhappy. He didn’t want to lose.
But since Gu An said it, he didn’t dare contradict him and remained silent and gloomy.
"Sin, you are now a Free Spirit Immortal, capable of standing on your own. Do you want to go out and gain some experience?" Gu An asked Sin with a smile.
An Xing felt that Master truly pampered Sin, perhaps even more than he did her.
This young man’s background was definitely not simple.
No matter how she looked at it, Sin’s features seemed somewhat similar to Master’s.
Though she had this suspicion, she didn’t dare voice it. Sin had been suppressed in the Desolate Heaven Tomb for so many years. Even if he was Master’s son, it would mean that Master had faced some terrifying events in the past, unable to protect even his own child.
Gu An heard An Xing’s thoughts and found them amusing.
She had guessed correctly.
"Of course, I want to! Can I?" Sin nodded excitedly.
Gu An turned to Xueyu Great Saint and said, "You will take him out to gain experience for a thousand years. Don’t interfere with anything he does; just follow him and let him learn and make his own judgments."
"Me?"
Xueyu Great Saint’s eyes widened, clearly reluctant.
Seeing his hesitation, Sin immediately said, "Master, it has to be him!"
Xueyu Great Saint gritted his teeth. This brat was becoming more and more difficult to deal with.
"Go ahead."
Gu An shook his head and smiled, then turned and left.
An Xing looked at Xueyu Great Saint and said meaningfully, "This is not just a test for Little Junior Brother; it might also be a test for you."
A test?
Xueyu Great Saint perked up. He loved the Master’s tests. If it was a test, there would surely be rewards upon completion.
The experience on the Great Dao Path had been very satisfying. He had made many friends and brothers and became the first Primordial Dao Emperor in the Wushi Dao Field after the Master.
An Xing turned and followed Gu An’s steps.
Once the two disappeared into the forest, Xueyu Great Saint looked at Sin with a half-smile. "Brat, when we get to the Mortal World, I won’t interfere, but I’ll report everything you do to the Master."
