Chapter 239 Seven Suns Beyond the Heavens, Vast Expanse of Heaven and Earth

After passing on the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Innate Skill to An Hao, Gu An did not linger and quickly left the island.

He saw from the sky that the distant ocean was churning with towering waves, the direction of which was coming from the place where he broke through. The spiritual energy he absorbed during his breakthrough was so vast that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was sinking down, which would surely shake the ocean.

Fortunately, there was no human-inhabited continent in that sea area. The demons that could survive there all had cultivation levels. Even if the island was submerged, they would not die. Moreover, the waves only swept across the area, and the sea level did not rise.

Gu An glanced at it but didn't think much of it, so as not to burden himself.

He is kind-hearted and will try his best not to harm innocent lives. However, if he has to involve innocent lives due to his cultivation, there is nothing he can do. He will never stop his progress.

After returning to Tai Xuan Sect, Gu An first wandered around Xuan Valley. Lu Jiujia and the miscellaneous disciples had already gotten used to life without Gu An. Although Gu An often came to Xuan Valley, everyone knew that his focus was on the inner sect's medicine valley. They could understand that without Gu An, they felt no pressure.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Gu An finally arrived at the Third Medicine Valley.

Compared to Xuan Valley, the Third Medicine Valley is much more lively.

Gu An stepped down from the teleportation platform and looked around, seeing the past of all the miscellaneous disciples.

A hundred years of mortal life is but a fleeting moment in his eyes.

Gu An looked at An Xin, peering into her past, and sure enough, he saw his own reflection in her.

He could see the past of mortals, and so could other carefree immortals. This made him even more grateful for his choice. Fortunately, he had stayed in the Tai Xuan Sect. If he had run around the world, the karma he created would have grown bigger and bigger, and he might have been seen by the carefree immortals hidden in the mortal world. If those transcendent beings felt that his growth rate was unreasonable, then it would be troublesome.

Gu An walked to the wooden fence in the park and looked up. His vision was far beyond what he had seen before, and he felt the vastness of the Tianling Great World even more.

The name "Great Heaven and Earth" is truly fitting!

This continent is much larger than Earth in his previous life, but it is as insignificant as dust in the vast universe. As his field of vision expands, he sees more and more immortals flying in and out of the world.

He could even see the celestial phenomena: a dazzling sea of ​​stars, a series of wonders, starlight like a celestial river, with countless stars surging within, like waves washing away sand, and a gigantic nebula like a divine tree of creation, as if it were the center of the universe, guiding the direction of all things.

Gu An's gaze was drawn to the sun illuminating the heavens and the earth. There was not just one sun outside the Heavenly Spirit Great World, but seven in total, extremely large, surrounding the Great World. They were allowed by some mysterious rules and trajectories to maintain the regularity of the four seasons and the alternation of day and night in every place of the Great World.

With his keen eyesight, he could see that each of the seven suns contained a mysterious being. They were enormous, with different shapes, including birds, beasts, and even human figures, which inspired awe and fear.

There is some kind of barrier on the surface of the sun that prevents Gu An from seeing their true forms, which also prevents him from using the lifespan probe.

Gu An glanced at it briefly before looking away, not wanting to disturb the presence in the sun.

The carefree immortal could easily cross the heavens and travel to the outer universe, but he didn't want to go for the time being. Staying in the Tai Xuan Sect was fine. He didn't have any imminent enemies, so there was no need for him to go on an adventure.

He can now roam freely throughout the world. Thanks to the profound mystery of the Carefree Immortal Realm, as long as he wants, no living being below the Carefree Immortal Realm can see him or touch him.

Gu An looked into the distance, his vision spanning billions of miles in an instant.

Vast and magnificent seas swept past his eyes, and he saw an even more prosperous continent, and various scenes of struggle between living beings: war, battles between great immortal cultivators, and enormous spirit beasts revered as divine beasts roaming the heavens and earth, with countless mortals kneeling in worship.

There were also many places that his eyesight could not penetrate, which indicated that these places might hide the carefree immortals.

Such places are either far removed from the mortal world or located in the most prosperous lands of humans and demons.

Gu An even saw a continent full of immortal beings, whose lowest cultivation level was Nirvana Realm, which he found incredible.

Fortunately, that continent was extremely far away from him. Even for a Nirvana Realm cultivator, crossing it would be difficult, as the route was full of dangerous places. He had just seen a rogue immortal being swallowed by a mysterious sea monster. The whole process happened very suddenly. The rogue immortal was just passing by and was moving at an extremely fast speed, a speed that mortals could not capture with their eyes. Even so, he was still swallowed in one gulp and died.

Gu An felt as if he were on an adventure. This kind of exploration made him feel novel, as if the whole world was being revealed to him, making him unable to stop.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

You Yingying came to his side and asked, "What are you thinking about? Why have you been staring blankly for so long?"

Gu An withdrew his gaze, looked at her, and chuckled softly, "I was wondering how big the Star Sea Sect is, and how vast the outside world is."

You Yingying laughed and replied, "If you want to go to the ocean, I can help you arrange it. As for how big the Star Sea Sect is, even I, who was born in the Star Sea Sect, don't know. The sea area occupied by the Star Sea Sect is incredibly vast, tens of thousands of times the size of this continent. And that's just my estimate."

Gu An nodded slightly. The territory of the Star Sea Sect was indeed more than ten thousand times larger than the continent, but in his eyes it was not very large, because he could see a much farther world.

I wonder if the Star Sea Sect has any carefree immortals?

Gu An felt that even if such a thing existed, it wouldn't be in this world.

Even if Gu An could see the other side of the mortal realm, he couldn't detect the existence of the Carefree Immortal. It's just that it's very difficult to see them, but it can't be said for sure that they don't exist. Perhaps the Carefree Immortals can't spy on each other.

That's why this realm is called carefree! "Speaking of which, the internal assessment of the Star Sea Sect is about to begin. I wonder if Xuan Tianyi can make a name for himself this time," You Yingying said with a nostalgic expression.

Upon hearing this, Gu An couldn't help but ask, "Are there any requirements for the internal assessment?"

Li Ya, Zhang Buku, and An Hao have all joined the Star Sea Cult. Gu An is looking forward to seeing them make a name for themselves. All three of them have received his teachings, and he would be happy if they could thrive in the Star Sea Cult.

"No, anyone under a thousand years old can participate. By the way, Li Ya from the Tai Xuan Sect will probably participate. That Mystic City is a pseudo-immortal treasure, so there must be many geniuses waiting to spar with him."

You Yingying chuckled, a mischievous grin spreading across her face, seemingly anticipating who would suffer the consequences.

The two chatted like this, their conversation revolving around the Star Sea Sect. Although You Yingying didn't want to go back, she spoke with great pride about the Star Sea Sect and showed disdain for the Tai Xuan Sect.

This made Gu An look forward to the future of the Tai Xuan Sect.

The future is long, let's take it slow!

Ten thousand years from now, who knows whether the Tai Xuan Sect will be more powerful, or the Xinghai Sect will be more prosperous?
Although Gu An had already reached the ninth level of the Free and Unfettered Immortal realm, his life had only just begun 128 years ago. Not to mention the future, he was already looking forward to tomorrow alone.

After chatting with You Yingying for a while, Gu An moved to another place to continue observing the Heavenly Spirit World.

Far to the west, he saw a majestic mountain in the desert, surrounded by sandstorms. On its summit stood a magnificent, golden palace, with monks constantly flying in and out. The palace was a place that could not be explored.

In other words, there is a high possibility that a carefree immortal exists in this palace.

The world is vast, and indeed, there are many powerful beings hidden in this mortal realm. Not all immortals or beings of higher realms leave the mortal world.

In the days that followed, Gu Anyi observed the heavens and earth whenever he had free time.

What he feared most was the north. There was a vast continent in the north, the largest continent he had ever seen, and he could only see its outline. His gaze was blocked by a mysterious force as soon as he got close.

It is a very mysterious power that exists in everything.

It must be luck!

The Tai Xuan Sect also gathered similar power, but compared to that continent, its fortune was like a grain of rice compared to the bright sun.

He guessed that the continent was the strongest region in the Heavenly Spirit World, but it was impossible to observe with the naked eye alone.

That continent was also incredibly far from the land of the three dynasties; crossing mountains and seas to get there was even more difficult than the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

……

The first spring of the Carefree Immortal Realm has passed. Even though he has reached a completely new realm, Gu An still lives the same life as before, traveling between various medicine valleys, occasionally going to the outer city to read books, and drinking and chatting with his virtuous friends. His life is quite pleasant.

In the mountains and forests.

Dressed in blue, Yang Jian launched a series of attacks on Gu An. He was agile and his punches and kicks were fierce, while Gu An stood still, calmly parrying each move. The faster Yang Jian went, the slower Gu An seemed to become.

Yang Jian was kicked away by Gu An again, crashing into a tree and shaking off a lot of leaves.

This time, Yang Jian didn't have the strength to stand up; he had exhausted his strength. However, he didn't feel defeated; instead, he looked at his master expectantly.

He could never be a match for his master, but he wanted to hear his master's evaluation of him.

“The path of body cultivation is not so narrow. It’s not just fists and feet that can be used as magical weapons; any part of the body can be used,” Gu An said, looking at him with great satisfaction.

This kid's growth rate is astonishing, even more so than An Hao back then. Perhaps it's because the effects of that pill are still there, but in any case, it amazes Gu An.

Set a goal.

To reach Nirvana within five hundred years!

Before this, Yang Jian could not go down the mountain to gain experience; at most, he could go back to see his family.

Yang Jian was unaware that his master had set a cultivation goal for him in his heart. He stood up and said, "Master, do you think I should mainly practice the Myriad Forms and Qi Technique, or the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Innate Skill? Also, the Dao Gang Yuan Qi that you taught me is very profound. I feel that I cannot easily master any of them."

Gu An replied, "Take it slow. You don't need to rush to break through your cultivation level. You can lay a solid foundation first."

Yang Jian thought it made sense. Following Gu An to cultivate meant he would have access to pills whenever he wanted, and he didn't even have to spend money normally, so he didn't need to rush at all.

"Master, when will you be willing to participate in the Heavenly Ranking Tournament?" Yang Jian suddenly asked, his tone filled with anticipation.
