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

Chapter 363 The Ninth Level of the Free and Easy Immortal Realm at the Age of Four Hundred and Ninety
Back in the Third Medicine Valley, Gu An's face broke into a smile.

In just one night, he had transformed from the ninth level of the Divine Sense True Immortal Realm to the ninth level of the Free Immortal Realm, undergoing a tremendous change in strength.

If it weren't already dawn, he would have wanted to continue pushing his limits.

Breaking through his cultivation level caused the lifespan barrier to consume nearly 50 million years of his lifespan, leaving Gu An with over 600 million years of lifespan remaining.

He felt there was still hope of breaking through successfully.

After reaching the Free Immortal Realm, his perception of the Heavenly Spirit Great World became clearer. He was certain that both the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court harbored Free Immortals. Once the Free Immortals started a war, it could very likely affect the entire world. If he could surpass the Free Immortals, Gu An would feel even more at ease.

Gu An stepped off the teleportation platform. He looked up and saw a gray river flowing in the vastness of the universe. He was not in the universe and could not reach it by flying upwards; he could only travel there through the rules of the Great Dao.

The long river of destiny!

The place where Lu Han fell!

Gu An simply watched from afar, with no immediate intention of stepping into the river of fate.

His gaze followed to Wu Jue. Since Wu Jue rarely came to see him, he naturally had to go and greet him.

You Yingying was holding a rabbit when she saw Gu An. She looked over instinctively, then froze, rubbing her eyes with one hand.

Gu An's clothes were the same as yesterday, and his makeup and hairstyle were also unchanged, but You Yingying felt that he had changed a lot.

This change was indescribable to her. Looking at Gu An, she inexplicably wanted to get closer, but after looking at him for a while, she also felt an urge to submit.

This feeling was so complex that she couldn't quite put it into words.

Not only her, but the other disciples couldn't help but take a second look at Gu An after seeing him.

Gu An came up behind Wu Jue and just in time to hear Wu Jue listing examples of Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness.

Wu Jue seemed to sense something, turned around and saw that it was Gu An. The anger on his face immediately disappeared.

"You're finally back! Come on, let's go have a drink!" Wu Jue grabbed Gu An's arm and pulled him aside.

Gu An naturally wouldn't refuse. He called out to An Xin to prepare the food and drinks.

The two entered Gu An's attic and sat facing each other.

"Gu An, I've reached the Integration Realm!" Wu Jue exclaimed excitedly, a look of pride spreading across his face.

Gu An found it amusing. "You're supposed to be at the Integration Realm? I only noticed you when I was behind you."

Although he suppressed his aura, he only suppressed it to the level of the Nascent Soul Realm, and did not completely conceal it.

This shows that martial arts can really get to him easily, and it's hard to know if it will cause him big trouble in the future.

"Really? You're too..." Gu An was shocked, his eyes wide open.

Seeing his smug expression, Wu Jue asked with high spirits, "A 421-year-old Integration Realm cultivator, do you even know what that means?"

Gu An opened his mouth, but at that moment, silence spoke louder than words.

Gu Antai knew exactly what the strength of a 421-year-old in the Integration Realm was; wasn't he still in the Integration Realm himself?
He wanted to ask Wu Jue, "Do you know what kind of strength a 419-year-old at the ninth level of the Free and Easy Immortal Realm possesses?"

An Xin was just upstairs delivering food and drinks when she heard Wu Jue's words and found it amusing. Was he trying to show off in front of my master?
She placed the food and drinks on the table and then left.

Wu Jue had deliberately spoken loudly earlier, and he was secretly wondering why An Xin hadn't reacted.
Gu An noticed this and inwardly blamed An Xin for lacking the professionalism of an actor and being too easily lax!
"I never expected you to get this far. Although I knew you were extraordinary before, I still underestimated you..." Gu An said with emotion, immediately drawing Wu Jue's attention back to him.

Wu Jue laughed and said, "If it weren't for your constant encouragement back then, how could I have gotten to where I am today? You can also comprehend the Dao, and you might even reach the Integration Realm in the future."

Gu An shook his head and said, "It's impossible."

"How could that be? You have to believe in yourself."

Yes, it's precisely because of believing that it didn't happen.

Gu An then asked, "You should be able to compare to An Hao and my Senior Brother Li now, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jue's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said, "I don't know, but I've always taken them as my targets. Unfortunately, I don't know just how strong they are. I'll challenge them again when my cultivation surpasses theirs."

Good guy!
Do you also enjoy cross-border battles?
Despite his own joy, Gu Anle was quite satisfied with Wu Jue's attitude.

One should not be arrogant, and one should never act recklessly!

Even the strongest can die!

The two began to talk about the future, mainly about Wu Jue's future. Gu An was extremely supportive, and every word he said resonated with Wu Jue.

The Third Medicine Valley was harmonious and bustling, as was the Tai Xuan Sect; no one knew about the changes that had occurred outside the heavens.

At this moment, many great cultivators gathered in the outer light layer, the lowest of whom were Heavenly Immortals, all gazing at the Domain of Annihilation.

Fu Shenxiu and Bai Ziya from Renjian Peak also arrived, accompanied by more than a dozen Celestial Immortals.

"The relationship between the Celestial Dynasty and the Holy Court is really tense," Bai Ziya couldn't help but mutter.

The immortals of the Celestial Dynasty and the cultivators of the Holy Court stood on either side, at the furthest distance, and all the sects could feel the tension between them.

Fu Shenxiu looked into the distance and said, "I hope this strange phenomenon can make both sides temporarily put aside their fighting intentions."

Bai Ziya looked up and sighed, "Although the Heavenly Spirit Great World is strong, it is still too insignificant compared to the Nirvana Domain. If it weren't for the Holy Heaven, the Heavenly Demon would have already crushed the Heavenly Spirit Great World."

Fu Shenxiu looked at him and asked, "You've been to the Realm of Annihilation. Is it really full of Heavenly Demons?" "How could that be? The so-called Heavenly Demons are just what we call them. There is a Heavenly Demon race in the Realm of Annihilation, but we consider all beings born in the Realm of Annihilation to be Heavenly Demons. The Realm of Annihilation is boundless, and I don't know exactly how vast it is. Perhaps it even hides a great world?"

Bai Ziya said quietly, his eyes dimming as if he had thought of something.

While the two were discussing the Realm of Annihilation, other sects were also talking about it, exchanging their own experiences and observations within it.

Gu Anze, the culprit behind the strange phenomena, was drinking and chatting with his friends in the Medicine Valley.

Late into the night, Gu An began to act again.

The gap between the Free Immortal and a higher realm is enormous; this is a major leap. He fears that six hundred million years of lifespan is not enough, so he wants to steal a billion years of lifespan.

Okay, this is the last time!
This time, a billion years from now, he will absolutely not steal any more resources; such behavior makes even him feel ashamed.

To avoid being associated with himself, he first went to Human Peak to steal herbs, thus making Human Peak a victim as well.

As a result, he sensed that there were also wondrous immortals cultivating within the Human Realm Peak, surrounded by the aura of the Human Realm Peak. They must be senior figures who had returned from beyond the heavens.

Gu An only stole herbs from the main peak and then left, but in the end, he still alarmed the Human Peak.

Until dawn.

The ethereal immortal stood before a pile of harvested, ripe herbs, remaining silent for a long time.

He waited until the sunlight shone on him before taking a deep breath.

"This world is as unfathomable as ever..." he exclaimed sincerely.

……

Ten days later, Gu An successfully accumulated a lifespan of one billion years.

The next step is the breakthrough!
Gu An looked out at the sky. There were many powerful beings roaming in the Silent Domain near the Heavenly Spirit Great World, which made it difficult for him to choose a place to break through. He couldn't go deep into the Silent Domain, what if there was a being like the Black Profound Emperor waiting for him?
The autumn wind blew into the woods, and at that moment, Gu An was sitting on a rock, gazing at the sky peeking through the gaps in the leaves.

The Great Sage of Blood Prison lay to one side, while Anxin focused on cultivating the Dao Stepping Time Step.

Her steps were more fluid than before, each one graceful and agile, which made the Blood Prison Great Sage stare in disbelief.

The Great Sage of Blood Prison also wanted to learn, but just by watching An Xin cultivate, he couldn't grasp the essence of it.

He guessed that to learn this supernatural power, one would need to be personally instructed by the master.

He didn't make a request, since his current body wasn't suitable for cultivating supernatural powers. As long as he performed well, he would be able to learn them sooner or later when the millennium arrived.

Gu An withdrew his gaze and looked overseas.

His theft still caused turmoil. The sects whose herbs were stolen could not find the real culprit and could only seek help from the Holy Court. The Holy Court gathered the information and sent many Holy Court monks to investigate.

Gu An overheard some Holy Court cultivators speculating that the matter was related to extraterrestrial phenomena, and even discussing the Heavenly Demon's conspiracy.

This left him both amused and exasperated; his initial guesses were correct, but his later ones went astray.

However, he was not worried about being exposed. Anyway, he would not steal anymore. After this breakthrough, he would return to his previous state and watch the world change with a smile.

One downside to a world in peace is that when order is too stable, it becomes very difficult for those at the bottom to rise to the top, and breaking the rules can easily lead to trouble.

The resources of the Heavenly Spirit Great World have been divided up by various sects. Wherever there are rare and precious natural treasures, there are always sects nearby. There are very few treasure lands that are completely unclaimed. They are either guarded by sects or watched by powerful demons.

Of course, Gu An prefers peace to chaos and unrest.

Although Taiping lacked opportunities, it was not as dangerous.

If it weren't for the Holy Court establishing order, the Seven Star Spirit Realm would have crushed the Tai Xuan Sect before Gu An even grew up.

It is precisely because there are rules in the world that the Seven Star Spirit Realm dares not act recklessly, and can only carry out their despicable acts in secret.

Gu An's divine sense suddenly landed on Zhu Xi in the Falling Moon Divine Lake.

The world is vast, but among all the people Gu An has seen with his naked eyes, only a handful can reach the maximum lifespan of 9,999 years before the Nirvana Realm. These include An Hao, the Evil Emperor, Yang Jian, the Great Sage of Blood Prison, Ji Xiaoyu, and Zhu Xi.

Among them, the Evil Emperor was the leader of the Ephemeral Flower Sect. He was trapped under the Immortal King's Crown and was crushed to death by Gu An.

There must be other people in this world with a lifespan of 9,999 years, but they have not yet appeared before Gu An.

Divine perception cannot detect lifespan.

Gu An saw that Zhu Xi was cultivating, and her cultivation level was the same as the last time Gu An saw her, without any change.

"What level will the Primordial Devouring Body reach here?" Gu An was filled with curiosity.

Within the vast Heaven and Earth, ancient treasure bodies are extremely rare. Above treasure bodies is the Dao body, and above that is the sacred body. The Primordial Devouring Body is comparable to the Primordial Causal Body, surpassing even the sacred body.

In terms of physique alone, Zhu Xi is much stronger than An Hao and Yang Jian.

Of course, physical constitution is only one aspect of talent; An Hao's comprehension is equally extraordinary.

Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years is the maximum lifespan of a human below the Nirvana Realm, but it does not represent the limit of talent.
