If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 304 Fighting Will, Gu An's Hostility
Upon seeing the prompt about the cycle of evolution, Gu An hesitated.

In the past, he would have definitely chosen to expose the crimes of the third concubine and seek justice for himself, but Chu Lu died too young, leaving him with psychological trauma.

Although lifespan reincarnation is merely an evolution and won't harm his original life, he's still using ten million years of his lifespan for fun.

Moreover, the hint was very short, so he couldn't analyze the situation in detail. He didn't know the background or resources of the three concubines. What if he revealed it and it brought him trouble?
Fine, I'll bear with it for now. It's unfair, but it's not something he experienced firsthand.

By choosing not to reveal that you were poisoned by the third concubine, a major upheaval in the Duke Xiao's mansion was averted.

At the age of eight, you began practicing swordsmanship. During your practice, you accidentally severed a spiritual herb, gaining eight years of lifespan. From that moment on, your cultivation journey took a turn for the better.

At the age of twelve, you broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm through the evolution of your lifespan.

At the age of seventeen, the Ming Dynasty was besieged by three dynasties, and the country was in ruins. You followed the Xiao family south, constantly encountering attacks and battles along the way, and your lifespan increased rapidly.

At eighteen, while on the run, you encounter two severely wounded cultivators, a man and a woman. They beg you to save them and kill the other, leaving you torn.

Would you choose to save the man or the woman, kill the man or the woman?

Neither save them nor kill them!

Gu An made his choice without hesitation.

[You didn't intervene; you watched them die, and after they died, you took their storage bags.]

Upon seeing this message, Gu An almost burst into a tirade.

Why did you have to be so impulsive?
The following years were filled with fleeing and fighting.

I waited until...

At the age of twenty-seven, a Mahayana Realm elder from the Great Yan Sect found you, suspecting you of murdering his offspring because you possessed his offspring's storage pouch. You vehemently denied it, but he still wanted to kill you. In the end, you both suffered heavy losses, and you were separated from your family.

At twenty-seven years old, Xiao Shengtian was already fighting against a Mahayana cultivator; he's got something special about him.

It seems their approach is quite unconventional.

Gu An sighed inwardly. He could only see a general description and did not know how many enemies Xiao Shengtian had killed during the process.

At the age of thirty, you joined the Luo Qing Sect and began to devote yourself to cultivation.

At the age of forty-five, the Xiao family was massacred. Upon learning this, you were devastated and began investigating who your enemies were.

At the age of fifty, after five years of investigation, you learn that the force that slaughtered the Xiao family was the Li family of the Eastern Xuan Region. You leave the Luo Qing Sect alone and head to the Eastern Xuan Region.

Upon seeing the words "Eastern Xuan Domain," Gu An knew something was wrong.

How could my family be wiped out all of a sudden?
Speaking of which, Gu An has no relatives in this life and lives alone in the Ji family mansion. Is this fate?

At the age of sixty, you conquered the secret realm assessment of the Eastern Xuan Sacred Palace, sweeping aside all the geniuses of the Eastern Xuan Region and becoming famous throughout the world.

At the age of seventy, you have cultivated the Heavenly Gang Sacred Body in the Eastern Profound Sacred Palace. The Palace Master favors you greatly and wishes to marry his youngest daughter to you. Will you accept?

Unacceptable!
[You declined the Lord's offer of a disciple, yet he accepted you as his apprentice, and you have received great support from the Eastern Profound Sacred Mansion.]

Gu An smiled when he saw this.

This is right!

The rest of his life was filled with various forms of cultivation. Xiao Shengtian continuously improved his physique, techniques, and supernatural abilities. He didn't have many choices, and he only studied one method of each type.

Years pass by quickly.

At the age of 137, you participated in the Five Regions Holy Competition. With an absolutely dominant performance, you won the title of the strongest prodigy of the era, and your Heavenly Gang Holy Body became famous throughout the world.

At the age of 138, you encountered cultivators from the Li family while traveling. Due to a deep-seated blood feud, a conflict broke out between you and the Li family. You were attacked by the mysterious Xiaoyao Yuanxian and nearly lost your life. Fortunately, you were saved by a cultivator named Xuanhu Zhenren while you were seriously injured.

At the age of 139, before your injuries had fully healed, the Li family attacked again, determined to kill you. Master Xuanhu exhausted his true essence and used his great supernatural powers to move you and his children into a spacetime rift, where the three of you fell into the Dark Continent.

At the age of 140, the son of the Master of the Hanging Pot could not withstand the invasion of dark forces and ultimately died, his soul falling into the dark spirit and disappearing. You searched for him with his sister.

At the age of 142, you two failed to escape the Dark Continent, and the daughter of the Master of Suspended Pot also turned into a dark undead. Enraged, you began to slaughter the dark undead of the Dark Continent.

At the age of 143, you encountered the Black Xuan Emperor, a Dao Xu Xuan Immortal, and your soul was destroyed by him.

[End of Reincarnation]

what?
It's that damn Black Emperor again!

How did you reach the Dao Void Profound Immortal Realm this time?

Gu An's eyes widened, his anger uncontrollable.

If the Black Emperor had the ability to foresee his enemies' lifespan, he would already be receiving strong hostility from Gu An.

This guy has been lured into this place for two lifetimes, how can he possibly tolerate it?

Gu An immediately disappeared from the house, teleporting to the bottom of the ocean on the other side of the world, and then activated the lifespan barrier.

A flood of memories then rushed into his mind.

An hour later.

Gu An opened his eyes, his expression complex.

Xiao Shengtian's life was even more exciting than Chu Lu's. He made great strides, lived a life of pleasure and revenge, and was renowned for his exceptional talent. He also encountered many beautiful women.

Unfortunately, he still died.

In his memory, Gu An learned about the horror of the Dark Continent. The Dark Continent was even larger than the entire Tianling Great World. He could not fly to the outside world. The world was dark and vast, as if he could never get out. There was also a mysterious force called the Dark Power that was devouring him.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Divine Body being powerful enough, Xiao Shengtian might not have survived until the day he met the Black Xuan Emperor.

It has to be said that the Black Emperor of the Dao Void Profound Immortal Realm is truly terrifying. Gu An not only possesses the memories, but can also carefully experience the feelings he had at that time.

When the Black Emperor killed him, he seemed to have deliberately preserved his physical body. The thought of his body being used by the Black Emperor filled Gu An with immense resentment.

He didn't know where the Dark World was, or whether his time would coincide with the Dark World's. If they met, and the Dark World's cultivation was inferior to his, he would make the Dark Emperor truly experience despair.

The second cycle of evolution only lasted for 143 years, which is really disappointing.

However, the gains were greater than the last time. Although the Heavenly Gang Sacred Body was not as good as his Primordial Dao Body, he could pass it on to his disciples in the future.

The real gain was Xiao Shengtian's will.

Xiao Shengtian cultivated a fighting will. The more severe his injuries, the stronger his power became. Within the same realm, his fighting will was enough to sweep away all opponents. Even when encountering opponents of a higher realm, he had a chance to turn the tables and kill them.

Of course, for Gu An, the fighting spirit is mainly reflected in the tribulation.

With this will, wouldn't it be easier for him to overcome tribulations during his evolutionary cultivation?

Gu An sighed inwardly, wondering who was stronger, him or the Black Profound Emperor, both in the Dao Void Profound Immortal Realm.

He possesses unparalleled skills; I really want to test them against the Black Xuan Emperor.

He then disappeared into the seabed and returned to the attic of the Third Medicine Valley.

Although the process of merging memories caused a commotion, it was far less significant than his previous breakthroughs.

Gu An sat in the chair, suddenly feeling the urge to play another round.

We can't choose Dark World in the next round; there's no need to fight to the death with Black Emperor.

Forget it.

Bad luck!

In the cycle of evolution, Gu An can only make choices on major decisions; he cannot control how he acts in the evolutionary process. In other words, the cycle of evolution is unknown.

Since it's unknown, we have to talk about metaphysics!

Moreover, Gu An still needs to break through, so he can't get carried away and delay his breakthrough.
Gu An took out the Travelogue of the Green Knights, flipped through a few pages, and his mind was completely diverted.

This book is truly amazing!

Even if Xuan Tianyi were dead now, he would still be a saint in Gu An's heart because of this book.

……

The news that the Great Cold Demon Sect had been wiped out by the Sword Venerable Fudao spread like wildfire for a long time, making the Sword Venerable Fudao's reputation grow ever wider.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and the year is coming to an end.

Winter snow blankets the vast expanse of heaven and earth.

Gu An was writing books in the attic. He wrote down all the Taoist techniques and unique skills that Chu Lu and Xiao Shengtian had cultivated throughout their lives into a secret manual. He didn't intend to pass it on immediately; he was just writing it for fun. If it came in handy in the future, he could just take it out directly.

He suddenly sensed something, raised an eyebrow, put down his pen, and disappeared into the room.

On a distant ocean.

Bai Ziya lay on a large gourd, which soared above the clouds, his legs crossed, looking quite dashing.

He sensed a presence, immediately opened his eyes, and rolled over to his feet.

Immediately afterward, he saw a figure rushing towards him, and a look of surprise and delight appeared on his face.

This is exactly the kind of reckless man he's been looking for!

Gu An quickly flew to Bai Ziya's side, clasped his hands in greeting, and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Bai, I didn't expect to see you here."

Bai Ziya naturally stated his purpose directly. He bowed and smiled, "Fellow Daoist Meng, it's been many years. How have you been? Have you been affected by the Great Cold Demon Sect?"

He had already flown into the human realm threatened by the Great Cold Demon Sect. Of course, this was only the edge of the area, which is why Gu An dared to come and see him.

"No, I wasn't here at the time. I only came back after hearing that the Great Cold Demon Sect had been destroyed," Gu An said, shaking his head.

Are you alright?
That's great, he broke through to the ninth level of the Dao Void Profound Immortal Realm!
Bai Ziya invited Gu An to join him, and Gu An accepted without hesitation. The two began to discuss the Great Cold Demon Sect and the Sword Master Fudao.

Bai Ziya was shocked by this matter; he never expected such a major event to occur within the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

Although the Great Cold Demon Sect is not as powerful as the Human Peak, it is not far behind. The fact that someone could wipe out the Great Cold Demon Sect single-handedly shows that their cultivation level is unimaginable.

Some members of the Great Cold Demon Sect survived, but they had already fallen from grace and scattered, with many enemies taking advantage of their misfortune.

Bai Ziya was very curious about the Sword Master Fudao and asked Gu An when this person had appeared. Gu An replied that he had been in seclusion and did not know when the Sword Master Fudao had appeared.

The two chatted for a long time, with Gu An asking questions and Bai Ziya patiently answering them.

Half an hour later.

Gu An suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist Bai, have you ever heard of the Dark World?"

Bai Ziya frowned and asked in surprise, "The Dark Great World? Never heard of it. Is it very powerful? Where is it?"

Upon hearing this, Gu An could only say, "I don't know either. I just heard a senior mention this name, so I'm curious."

He then bid farewell to Bai Ziya.

Bai Ziya hurriedly said, "The Human Peak is about to hold its Ten Thousand Year Summit. You must come and officially take over the position of Peak Master."

Gu An nodded, then flew away from the Tai Xuan Sect.

After he flew far away, Bai Ziya muttered, "The Dark World... I feel like I've heard of it somewhere before..."
