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

Chapter 319 Peeking into Life, the So-Called Will of Heaven

Gu An and Xiao Chuan sat in the courtyard chatting, reminiscing about the past, their conversation flowing freely.

When talking about those old stories, the two had a lot to say, but when they talked about those deceased friends, they would fall into a brief silence.

"I let you leave the valley. Have you been satisfied with your life these past few decades?" Gu An asked.

Xiao Chuan smiled and said, "Of course I'm satisfied. At least I have no regrets in life. I've even seen the immortal path. How could a mortal who reaches my level not be satisfied? If they are not satisfied, they will probably live a repressed life. With such a mentality, no matter how high their cultivation level is, they will not be satisfied."

Gu An couldn't help but raise his teacup and toast him; such magnanimity was truly rare.

Gu An had previously complained in his heart about Xiao Chuan's lack of effort in cultivation, but now that he thinks about it, even if Xiao Chuan doesn't achieve great results in cultivating immortality, at least his happiness outweighs his worries in this life.

However, Gu An felt a pang of reluctance when he thought that Xiao Chuan wouldn't live for many more years.

He had experienced this feeling many times in the cycle of reincarnation, especially in the life of Long Zhan. The reason why Long Zhan's temperament changed so drastically was because he had experienced too many such things, especially the death of his wife, which deeply shocked him.

The mighty Long Zhan realized that even he, no matter how strong, would have regrets, which is why he ventured into the universe alone.

Xiao Chuan seemed to understand Gu An's feelings and comforted him, "Senior brother, although you are not married, there are many people who care about you. You will not be alone."

Gu An suddenly asked, "What should I do if they were all like you?"

Xiao Chuan paused for a moment, then looked at Gu An intently and said, "Senior brother, anyone can worry about this, but you don't. You're kind and always make friends. Besides, loneliness isn't always a form of torture. What kind of life you choose is ultimately up to your heart, isn't it?"

"I can let go of things because I learned it from you. From childhood to adulthood, you are the one I admire the most. No matter how powerful Senior Brother Li Ya is, he is not as good as you in my eyes, because you live a carefree life and can also protect the people you want to take care of."

At this point, Ogawa smiled again.

Gu An suddenly felt an impulse.

This time, things didn't go as Ogawa wished!

Gu An took out a secret manual and tossed it on the table. Xiao Chuan glanced at it instinctively and asked in surprise, "What's this?"

"This contains a spell..." Gu An began to explain, and his words immediately made Xiao Chuan feel dazed.

Gu An took this opportunity to preach to Xiao Chuan, placing his thoughts within the rules of heaven and earth, allowing him to forget external things at once.

The autumn wind swept up the fallen leaves in the yard, as if fate refused to let them fall to the ground.

……

On the ocean, Li Ya, dressed in black, stood on the back of a black eagle. His gaze was fixed on the distance. Above the great rift in the sea, a magnificent and majestic floating island was suspended. On the island stood a city, exuding a vast aura that inspired awe in all living beings.

"The main city of the Broken Sea Domain..."

Li Ya muttered to himself, his brows furrowing.

A mystical spirit appeared on his shoulder and whispered, "Something terrible is hiding there. It will eat me. Don't come near."

Upon hearing this, Li Ya frowned even more deeply; it was the first time he had ever heard a divine being utter such words.

He took a deep breath, then stomped his foot. The black eagle flapped its wings and sped away like a sharp arrow, quickly disappearing into the great rift in the sea.

After entering the dark rift, Li Ya breathed a sigh of relief. He looked down and his eyes became firm.

"Zhang Bukui, wait for me, I haven't given up on you yet!"

Li Ya clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, then drew his heavy sword, ready for battle.

at the same time.

Gu An, who was far away in Xuan Valley, was picking herbs. He couldn't help but stand up and look into the distance.

Ten years have passed since he preached to Xiaochuan. In the past ten years, he has not seen Xiaochuan again and has devoted himself to his own life.

Over the course of ten years, he gained more than 18 million years of lifespan, so he was happy every year.

To this day, the divine spirits told him that they sensed a dangerous aura.

The mystical spirits claimed to have sensed the aura of a natural enemy within the main city of the Broken Sea Domain; it was an aura of extreme evil.

Gu An couldn't help but use his divine sense to investigate, and he discovered that a Heavenly Demon had appeared in the main city of the Broken Sea Domain.

It's the Heavenly Demon again!

This celestial demon also possesses the cultivation of a wondrous immortal, but unlike the previous Dark Soul Ancestor, he is a living spirit.

The person was hidden in the dark palace, isolated by many restrictions, but no matter how Gu An looked at him, he didn't seem to be imprisoned.

Could it be that the Holy King behind the Great Cold Demon Sect is colluding with the Heavenly Demon?
Gu An didn't want to alert the enemy. Destroying the demon was easy, but severing the karmic ties was difficult. It was better for both sides to wait together. Although he didn't know what the other was waiting for, he knew that he was getting stronger every year.

Nirvana, Scattered Immortal, Wandering Immortal, Flying Immortal of Heaven and Earth, Carefree Primordial Immortal, Wondrous Dharma Spiritual Immortal, Dao Void Mysterious Immortal, Divine Thought True Immortal!
In this world where even carefree Yuanxian (a type of immortal) is rare, Gu An, a Divine Sense True Immortal, is confident in facing all hardships.

Gu An watched for a while before withdrawing his divine sense.

He was not alarmed by the Holy King's scheme; he believed the Holy King was likely a pawn of the Heavenly Demon.

Because of personal grudges, I have incurred the hostility of the Heavenly Demon. Although I am not afraid, it is unnecessary.

Gu An continued picking herbs, humming a little tune as he did so.

After he finished picking the herbs, he left Xuan Valley.

He came to the roof of a house in the Chuan family mansion and looked at Xiao Chuan, who was cultivating in the courtyard.

After that enlightenment, Xiao Chuan devoted more time to cultivation, and he didn't tell anyone about it.

Gu An noticed that Xiao Chuan's maximum lifespan had increased to 415 years. Not bad!

He followed to investigate the cause and effect of Xiao Chuan's actions.

In his daily life, Gu An did not only relax and have fun, but he also cultivated. He studied cause and effect and destiny the most.

He could see into the entirety of a mortal's life; even a three-year-old child could see the end of their life at a glance.

Sure enough, Xiaochuan's life was changed.

Previously, Gu An saw Xiao Chuan live out his days peacefully and pass away without regrets. This time, seeing Xiao Chuan survive his previous lifespan, the Chuan family has also given birth to a generation with strong cultivation aptitude.

As he looked at it, Gu An frowned.

Xiao Chuan died at the age of 413, before reaching the limit of his lifespan. Because his offspring offended a powerful cultivation family, he overworked himself and eventually died of depression.

Gu An suddenly realized that preaching to Xiao Chuan was not a good thing.

But then he thought, he'll just have to make a move when the time comes.

He was the biggest variable in Ogawa's life.

Thinking of this, Gu An looked at the other people in the Chuan family, trying to understand their lives.

A mortal's life is long to a mortal, but it is short in his eyes. Decades of experience pass by in the blink of an eye, without causing him any burden or affecting him. This is the power of a true immortal with divine thoughts.

Not to mention Divine Sense Immortals, even Daoist Void Immortals can achieve this level.

Before long, Gu An's gaze fell on a boy named Chuanqi.

[Kawaki (Untrained): 3/120/1050]

Such talent is definitely the strongest among Ogawa's descendants.

Gu An began to peek into Chuanqi's life.

It wasn't Chuanqi who offended the cultivation families, but another member of the Chuan family. After Xiao Chuan's death, Chuanqi left the family and ventured into the cultivation world alone.

This kid actually lived past the limit of lifespan, which means he will encounter great fortune in the future. As for what that fortune will be, Gu An cannot find out from the cause and effect.

Until Kawaki met a girl, the cause and effect were severed, and his future became unpredictable.

When Gu An saw the girl, he could tell at a glance that she was hiding the soul of a celestial demon.

It's the Heavenly Demon again!

Just how many demons have infiltrated the Heavenly Spirit Realm?

Gu An frowned and continued to scan the others.

He stood openly on the roof, unseen by anyone passing by in the courtyard below.

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

He stepped down from the teleportation platform, pondering cause and effect and destiny.

"Gu An, come and play another round!"

A voice came from behind him, and Gu An turned his head to look. The person who called him was none other than the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord.

A few years ago, Lu Xianyi and Qie Wuxing left, leaving only two great cultivators in the valley: Shen Xinzi and Jiuzhi Shenjun. Shen Xinzi was not very interested in Go and preferred to study Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods.

Gu An didn't understand why Shen Xinzi could read the two books over and over again, but he chose to respect that.

Gu An walked towards the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord, while simultaneously trying to discern the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord's karma and destiny.

The higher the opponent's cultivation level, the shorter the lifespan Gu An can see.

The fate of the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord is extremely complex, remaining unchanged for ten years, but his fate after fifty years is unpredictable.

Gu An sat down in front of the chessboard. As he opened the chess box, he asked, "Senior, you have lived a long life. Tell me, should cultivators interfere in the lives of mortals, even with good intentions?"

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord looked at him in surprise, not expecting him to ask such a question.

“You’ve come to the right person. I don’t think you should. Cultivating immortality is a path against the heavens. Interfering with the lives of mortals will only bring them calamities. There is a will of heaven in the dark. Once, I encountered a tribulation that left me seriously injured and with a broken finger, but it confirmed the existence of the will of heaven.”

"There must be a power in the darkness that cultivators cannot see or touch. It may be unconscious, but it controls the fate of all living beings. The higher my cultivation level, the more I can feel its power."

As he spoke, fear began to show in the eyes of the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord.

Gu An asked curiously, "Could it be from the Holy Court?"

Since the establishment of the Broken Sea Domain, the Holy Court has entered the consciousness of the people of the continent, becoming a force representing immortals and gods in their hearts.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord shook his head and said, "No, the Holy Court is also subject to this power. As far as I know, there is a layer of power separating heaven and earth from the universe, preventing mortals from flying out. It seems to be some kind of rule that even the Holy Court has to abide by."

Gu An couldn't help but look up and saw that there was indeed such a rule. It was a layer of light that enveloped the Heavenly Spirit World, and it was its existence that made it necessary for living beings to cultivate to the Heavenly Immortal Realm before they could fly into the universe.

Even if he reached the level of a true immortal with divine sense, Gu An would still be unable to see through this rule.

The Divine Origin Great World where Long Zhan resided was not restricted by such rules.

Gu An looked up at the sky as he placed a piece on the chessboard, landing it right in the center. Nine-Fingered Divine Lord's lips twitched as he watched, feeling humiliated.
