Chapter 747: Ancient Mystic Shadow, Tai Hao
Chapter 747: Ancient Mystic Shadow, Tai Hao
Mystic Shadow Fruit?
How did Reincarnation turn into a fruit?
Gu An looked at the prompt in front of him, realizing that for the next few thousand years, he would likely be stuck on the tree, with no choice in the matter.
This was quite a novel experience!
Gu An continued reading, and the prompts kept appearing. As a Mystic Shadow Fruit, he encountered many passersby over the years—ghost immortals, demons, and humans. Some just passed by, while others, like the ghost immortal, stayed for a while.
However...
The waiting time exceeded his expectations.
After ten thousand years, he was still a Mystic Shadow Fruit.
[At 12,732 years old, you sense the natural laws of Heaven and Earth, comprehend the Great Dao of Yin and Yang, and your Dao cultivation increases]
[At 12,803 years old, heavy rain falls from the heavenly dome. You have never experienced rain before, and you immerse yourself in the downpour, enhancing your physical body]
[At 13,146 years old, you sway with the wind, break free from the tree, and fall to the ground. The essence of Heaven and Earth converges around you, and you begin to take form. Please choose your gender]
The prompt paused here, and Gu An raised an eyebrow. Did he really need to choose?
Male!
Gu An made his choice. Over the previous ten thousand years, his Mystic Shadow Fruit form had observed the differences between males and females, and he had been considering this matter for a long time.
After making his choice, his Reincarnation Body took a century to fully form. He also comprehended his innate skill, Mystic Shadow Yin-Yang Protection!
He then broke off a branch from the Mystic Shadow Ancient Tree, transforming it into a long staff and setting out to explore the Otherworldly Sky.
[At 13,307 years old, you encounter a wandering spirit. It claims to be pursued by the Nine Yin Divine Mansion and advises you to change direction to avoid them. Do you choose to avoid the Nine Yin Divine Mansion?]
Yes!
Joking, Gu An had experienced the power of the Nine Yin Divine Mansion during his life as the Black Mystic Emperor. Most of the ghost immortals in the Nine Yin Divine Mansion surpassed the Luotian Zizai Immortal Realm.
With his current Dao cultivation, Gu An could not fully comprehend the entire situation in the Netherworld, but he could sense that the Nine Yin Divine Mansion harbored a Grand Luo Immortal.
The Great Dao barrier between Yin and Yang was too strong, which was why Heavenly Dao Qi Yun could not completely envelop the Netherworld.
A newly formed Mystic Shadow Fruit was certainly no match for the Nine Yin Divine Mansion.
[You choose to trust the spirit. After a long conversation, you decide to visit the city it mentioned, the Otherworldly City, hoping to gain a better understanding of everything. However, the wandering spirit wants to follow you. Do you agree?]
No!
[You refuse its request, but it clings to you relentlessly. Unable to drive it away, you let it follow. You learn its name is Gu Sanlang. After some debate, you decide to name yourself. Since you were born from the Mystic Shadow Ancient Tree, you name yourself Gu Xuan You]
[At 13,315 years old, you bring Gu Sanlang to the Otherworldly City. In the same year, you meet a cultivator in the city who introduces himself as Zhu Heavenly Dao Ren from the Otherworldly Sky. You learn that the Otherworldly Sky is not the name of this place but the title of an ancient Dao tradition. He sees that your root is a Mystic Shadow Fruit and offers to bring you into the Otherworldly Sky for cultivation. Do you agree?]
Yes!
Gu An felt that if this person could see through his origins, he was not someone to be resisted. If he had ill intentions, even refusing would cause trouble.
Moreover, Gu Xuan You needed Dao techniques to truly begin immortal cultivation.
Having lived for over ten thousand years, Gu Xuan You had never taken a lifespan. The Otherworldly Sky appeared peaceful, indicating its strong foundation.
However, in Gu An's era, there was no force like the Other Shore Heaven. Even if he now looked down upon the Netherworld, he wouldn't see the Other Shore Heaven.
This suggested that the Other Shore Heaven might eventually fall.
That was for the best. Once Gu Xuanyou's cultivation reached a certain level and he left, the fall of the Other Shore Heaven could help conceal a lot of karma.
Of course, the reason for the Other Shore Heaven's downfall might be related to Gu Xuanyou. That would become clear later.
[You accepted the invitation of Zhu Heavenly Dao. You brought Gui Sanlang and followed Zhu Heavenly Dao to the Other Shore Heaven. Along the way, you gained many insights and looked forward to the life ahead. After entering the Qi Yun training ground of the Other Shore Heaven, Zhu Heavenly Dao took you to meet the Emperor of the Other Shore. As the ruler of the Other Shore Heaven, he had foreseen a connection between you and him during your birth of will, and he decided to take you as his disciple personally.]
[At the age of 13,316, the Emperor of the Other Shore taught you the Other Shore Zhou Celestial Deity Technique, instructing you to cultivate only this technique, saying it was the most suitable for you.]
Subsequent prompts were all about cultivation. Not only did Gu Xuanyou cultivate, but Gui Sanlang also cultivated. The Emperor of the Other Shore taught him a set of techniques to serve Gu Xuanyou for eternity.
Gu An was filled with appreciation. His reincarnated body always seemed to encounter good teachers. From what he could tell, the Emperor of the Other Shore was genuinely kind to him. If he wanted the mystic shadow fruit, he wouldn't go through such trouble.
This cultivation lasted for 100,000 years. After 100,000 years, Gu Xuanyou had reached the Xuan Yuan Freedom Immortal Realm.
That year, the Emperor of the Other Shore arranged for Gu Xuanyou to go to the Nine Yin Divine Mansion for training, accompanied by other disciples of the Other Shore Heaven.
The Other Shore Heaven and the Nine Yin Divine Mansion were two major Dao Courts in the Netherworld, and their relationship was relatively harmonious. They often sent disciples to visit each other to enhance their interactions.
All the way until they arrived at the Nine Yin Divine Mansion, Gu Xuanyou didn't encounter any mishaps, and Gu An wasn't given a choice.
After entering the Nine Yin Divine Mansion, he stayed for several years before venturing to the Yellow Spring alone for further training.
Not long after arriving at the Yellow Spring, he befriended a fellow Daoist named Taihao. They hit it off immediately, and Taihao invited Gu Xuanyou to explore the Yellow Spring for treasure. He said there was a great treasure hidden within, left behind by an ancient powerful being.
Gu An finally had a choice.
What kind of treasure? The Yellow Spring was not a safe place. Gu An could see the terrifying reincarnation power surging from the depths of the Yellow Spring. Even the Great Immortal Miao Zhen would be affected if he stayed there for too long.
He directly declined, rejecting Taihao's invitation.
[You refused Taihao's invitation. Taihao didn't get angry; he asked you to wait by the river while he dove into the Yellow Spring. This made you admire him. You liked and aspired to the boldness in Taihao. You sat by the Yellow Spring and began to cultivate.]
[At the age of 116,542, while you were cultivating, you suddenly faced an attack. The attackers were two cultivators from the Nine Yin Divine Mansion who coveted your ghost servant, Gui Sanlang. They wanted to forcefully take him. You were forced to fight back. After a tough battle, you narrowly killed the two disciples of the Nine Yin Divine Mansion. You unexpectedly discovered that you could steal life spans. After some research, you used the stolen life spans to enhance the Other Shore Zhou Celestial Deity Technique, significantly improving your mastery of it. This subtle change in your mindset.]
[At the age of 116,552, three more disciples of the Nine Yin Divine Mansion came. They accused you of killing their two junior brothers. You chose to act directly, eliminating them.]
