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

Chapter 364 Peeking into the Future
"Master, I can't practice anymore..."

Anxin approached Gu An and said weakly.

Gu An came to his senses, nodded slightly, then stood up and left with An Xin and the Blood Prison Great Sage.

"Master, do you think the Immortal Dynasty will go to war with the Holy Court? There are rumors circulating outside that the world is about to undergo a great change." An Xin walked to Gu An's side and asked curiously.

The Immortal Ancestor Yuanxu bestowed blessings upon all living beings, causing the Immortal Dynasty's status in the hearts of all living beings to rise rapidly. Now, in the eyes of the vast majority of beings, the strength of the Immortal Dynasty even surpasses that of the Holy Court.

Once the Celestial Dynasty defeats the Holy Court, a brand new era will begin!

"Perhaps, but it's none of our business. The Taicang Continent can't participate in such a conflict for the time being," Gu An replied.

Looking at the scene above the outer light layer, Gu An felt that he had delayed the struggle between the Immortal Dynasty and the Holy Court.

The entire Heavenly Spirit Realm is now wary of the Extinction Domain and will certainly not dare to start a war rashly.

Gu An secretly chuckled to himself, feeling that he was great, as his breakthrough could help the world continue to enjoy peace.

Perhaps such peace can only last for decades or a couple of centuries, and mortals can only live for that many years.

Anxin continued to ask questions, curious about which was stronger, the Immortal Dynasty or the Holy Court. Gu An did not make a judgment and gave an ambiguous answer, but this did not stop her from imagining. Seeing that her master did not want to say more, she chatted with the Great Sage of Blood Prison.

In the days that followed, Gu An used his divine sense to explore the Nirvana Domain every day, looking for a suitable opportunity to break through.

The commotion he had created earlier was so great that powerful beings were constantly lingering in the Silent Realm near the Heavenly Spirit Great World. Not only was the Heavenly Spirit Great World on edge, but the forces within the Silent Realm were also on edge, as they thought the Heavenly Spirit Great World was about to invade them.

As autumn faded and winter arrived, the snow fell as expected this year.

Early winter.

Gu An brought An Xin to the Human Peak, and An Xin consciously went to the side to begin cultivating.

Not long after, Zhu Xinglan came to visit Gu An.

"Master, there have been thieves at Human Peak recently," Zhu Xinglan said with a solemn expression.

Gu An raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise, "What thief? Were there any casualties?"

"No, it's just that many herbs in the park were picked, including the herbs in our Human Peak. Fortunately, they were only picked and there was no loss. Even the Supreme Elder of the main peak couldn't find the real culprit. Moreover, I heard that there were strange phenomena in the sky some time ago. Do you think it might be the work of the Heavenly Demon?" Zhu Xinglan said worriedly.

The higher he stood, the more dangers he saw. With the Heavenly Demons stirring outside and the Immortal Dynasty and Holy Court on the verge of war inside, how could he not think more?
Moreover, a celestial demon is hidden beneath the Human Peak!

Gu An frowned, pretending to calculate with his fingers.

Zhu Xinglan seemed to have thought of something and continued, "By the way, there are other sects that have encountered similar situations to Renjian Peak, with herbs being picked inexplicably, and no one knows who is behind it."

Gu An asked, "How many times has this happened at Human Peak?"

"just one time."

"Let's wait and see, maybe it's just a false alarm."

"Too."

Zhu Xinglan thought it made sense, and then began to talk about the situation at Dingtian Peak.

Not long after, Zhu Xinglan left, and Gu An began to enjoy his leisure time. With things in a tense situation recently, he was not in a hurry to pick herbs.

A lifespan of one billion years should be enough for him to break through.

After reading for a while, Gu An looked up at the sky.

He saw a great battle taking place within the Realm of Annihilation. The two sides were True Immortals of Divine Thought, and they were not beings from the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

Beings born in the Realm of Annihilation are distinctly different from those born in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, which can be sensed from their aura, making them easy for Heavenly Demons to identify.

Gu An began to watch the battle, wanting to see who was stronger, the Divine Sense True Immortal of the Nirvana Domain or the Sun and Moon Underworld Emperor.

The Divine Sense Immortal in the midst of battle resembled the simulated Sun, Moon, and Underworld Emperors, each move deadly and merciless, clearly indicating a deep-seated blood feud.

After watching for a while, Gu An felt that the two were inferior to the Sun and Moon Underworld Emperor, and even if the two joined forces, they might not be able to defeat the Sun and Moon Underworld Emperor.

No wonder the Sun and Moon Emperors were able to rush over from the Yin-Yang Realm, even storming into the Holy Court before leaving triumphantly.

Gu An guessed that there was some kind of causal relationship between the Reincarnation Dao Emperor and the Holy Court, otherwise the Sun and Moon Underworld Emperor would not have been able to steal the Reincarnation Dao Emperor's Soul Jade from the Holy Court.

Even after Gu An brought An Xin back to the Tai Xuan Sect, the two Divine Sense Immortals still hadn't decided who would win.

Night falls.

Gu An was reading in the attic, with a stove next to him and a wine pot burning on it. In the cold winter, the atmosphere was very warm.

The door was pushed open, and Ji Xiaoyu walked straight in.

"Why don't you knock on the door?"

Gu An answered without looking up; he had an idea in his mind.

That means capturing Xuan Tianyi, tying him up in a dark room, and making him write books every day. He has such a great talent for writing; cultivating immortality is a waste of his time.

Ji Xiaoyu closed the door, then walked to the table and sat down. She said, "Your demeanor has changed quite a bit lately. Are you practicing some kind of extraordinary skill?"

Gu An glanced at her and said, "Because I love reading, and books can cultivate one's inner peace."

Ji Xiaoyu smiled, her gaze falling on the Qingxia Travelogue, and then said, "This kind of book can cultivate your inner strength? It's a good thing your cultivation level isn't high, otherwise you would definitely become a scourge to the world."

Gu An accepted the Qingxia Travelogue, coughed lightly, and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Since Ji Xiaoyu absorbed the Soul Jade brought by the Sun and Moon Underworld Emperor, her cultivation has been increasing at an increasingly rapid pace, and she is now at the ninth level of the Void Transcending Realm.

Keep in mind she's only 263 years old!
"I'm planning to leave for a few years, first thing tomorrow morning," Ji Xiaoyu said, glancing around the room. "Where are you going?"

"breakthrough."

"Another breakthrough? What realm are you at now?"

Seeing Gu An's shocked expression, Ji Xiaoyu's lips curled up. She met Gu An's gaze and said softly, "Ninth level of the Void Transcending Realm, preparing to break through to the Body Integration Realm."

Gu An's eyes widened, and he muttered to himself, "They're actually catching up with Wu Jue."

"It's all because you didn't work hard in your cultivation. The gap between us will only widen in the future," Ji Xiaoyu said with a hint of resentment.

She had thought Gu An's change in demeanor was due to cultivation, but her expectations were dashed.

Upon hearing this, Gu An argued, "I am at least a Nascent Soul cultivator. How can a four-hundred-year-old Nascent Soul cultivator not be considered a genius? I was just born in the wrong era. If I had lived hundreds of years ago, the Tai Xuan Sect would have had to promote me."

Ji Xiaoyu shook her head and chuckled, "Have you ever thought that the reason you have achieved what you have today is because the Tai Xuan Sect has become stronger? When comparing talent, you should compare yourself with the people around you, not with yourself."

Gu An gave an awkward smile, unable to respond.

Seeing his expression, Ji Xiaoyu's heart softened, and she stopped criticizing him. Instead, she asked, "Is there anything you need? I can bring it back for you."

"No need, I don't need anything."

The two started chatting casually, talking about whatever came to mind, and neither of them felt awkward.

This feeling is like that of an old married couple...

Cough!

What am I thinking!

Gu An cursed inwardly, then began to probe Ji Xiaoyu's karma. After reaching the ninth level of the Free Immortal Realm, his understanding of karma and destiny had become stronger, and he could see the development of Ji Xiaoyu's destiny over the next thousand years.

Although Ji Xiaoyu's fate is full of variables, there are also parts of her fate that overlap with those of other people.

That means she will be drawn into the great war between the Celestial Dynasty and the Holy Court!
In the future, the entire world will be drawn into this vortex of struggle, including the Tai Xuan Sect. The Tai Xuan Sect supports the Holy Court because the Sword Master Fu Dao has joined the Holy Court. The Holy Court will continue to win over the Tai Xuan Sect, wanting to tie the Sword Master Fu Dao to its own ship.

Gu An can see the future through the beings of Tai Xuan Sect. He has no intention of stopping or changing it, but rather feels a sense of detachment.

At first glance, all living beings seem to be living according to a predetermined script, but he can foresee everything and has the ability to change things, which is a wonderful feeling.

The two chatted for an hour before Ji Xiaoyu finally left.

Gu Anze got up and went to the stove. He picked up the wine pot and began to pour himself some wine.

Ji Xiaoyu is about to break through, and he is also preparing to break through, so it can be considered a double celebration. Tonight, they should have a good celebration.

The next morning, Ji Xiaoyu left the Third Medicine Valley.

After accompanying his disciples in their practice, Gu An left alone. He stayed in Xuan Valley for a while before departing.

He used the Ultimate Transformation Body technique to conceal his form, and with the addition of the Dao Image Divine Thought technique, he could hide his aura and karma. He directly passed through the outer light layer and flew to the Extinction Domain without the notice of the great cultivators.

This time, Gu An flew in a different direction.

Soon, he entered the realm of annihilation and landed in a nebula.

He could sense creatures roaming in all directions, and the two Divine Immortals were still locked in battle.

He couldn't worry about anything else; he had to break through as soon as possible.

He sat cross-legged, activated the lifespan barrier, and then brought up his attribute panel.

Name: Gu An

Lifespan: 419/1,393,608,114

[Physique: Primordial Chaos Refining Void Body]

[Cultivation Level: Ninth Level of the Free and Unfettered Immortal Realm]

……

I think I can successfully break the one billion-year lifespan barrier!
Gu An suddenly felt a little worried. He had decided that this time he would not improve his supernatural abilities or cultivation techniques, but would break through directly.

After all, there is no limit to improvement in all aspects. He is more concerned about his cultivation level now and there is no need to wait any longer.

do not care!
A direct breakthrough is not an option; if a billion years of lifespan is not enough, then we can only wait!
Gu An's gaze hardened as he looked at the cultivation level section.

Invest one hundred million years of your lifespan!

[You cultivated your inner energy for two million years, and with your profound mastery of the Eternal Infinite Power, you forcefully attempted to break through to the Dao Fruit Realm and began your tribulation. However, you failed to survive the Heavenly Dao Taiyi Divine Essence Tribulation.]

[You cultivated your inner energy for four million years, and with your profound mastery of the Eternal Infinite Power, you forcefully attempted to break through to the Dao Fruit Realm and began your tribulation. However, you failed to survive the Heavenly Dao Taiyi Divine Essence Tribulation.]

Good guy!
A tribulation that occurs once every two million years?
That's a huge leap!
Gu An's eyelids twitched wildly, but when he thought of the power Long Zhan would become after his successful breakthrough, his mood calmed down slightly.

So what if it's two million years? He has a lifespan of a billion years, he can afford to gamble!
A series of prompts kept popping up, and Gu An deliberately only looked at the length of the prompts.

Nothing changes!

Even after a hundred million years had passed, he still hadn't made a breakthrough.

Gu An took a deep breath and once again devoted another hundred million years of his lifespan!
