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

Chapter 409 Whose Past Life Was Stronger?
Gu An was immersed in Ji's memories, feeling his epic experiences.

At the same time, Gu An's understanding of the Extreme Dao Battle Techniques deepened. Although it is called a battle technique, it is actually the Dao of the Extreme. He concentrated all his skills, supernatural powers, spells and so on into the Extreme Dao Battle Techniques, forming a combat system of his own.

Through this memory, Gu An can confirm that the primordial era is incredibly distant from the present, probably impossible to measure in millions or tens of millions of years.

Primordial Era, Ancient Era, Desolate Era, Early Dao Era, Medieval Era, Post-Ancient Era, Celestial Era...

There are countless years between each period. In the primordial era, we could still see Li Ya, Li Xuandao, and Lü Xian, but in the later ancient era, their legends disappeared.

Yang Jian wouldn't even live to the beginning of time.

Gu An thought about many things, but he didn't feel that the future was set, nor did he worry about those old friends who hadn't appeared in his life.

He experienced life more deeply.

His combat power at the same level is extremely terrifying. Apart from fighting, he spends all his time cultivating. Judging from how quickly his Extreme Dao Combat Technique has become stronger, he has devoted the vast majority of his lifespan to the Extreme Dao Combat Technique.

Once Gu An has inherited all the memories, he feels that the Ultimate Battle Technique may be stronger than all the methods he currently possesses.

This guy didn't get cocky when he reached the realm of freedom and ease; instead, he felt a strong sense of unease, which is why he chose to use the river of time to fight and become stronger.

The river of time is different from the river of fate. It can travel through the past and the future. The reason for choosing the past is that I feel that the past has already passed away, so I don't feel as guilty about killing it.

In reality, Ji did not kill indiscriminately; he even appreciated his opponents. Because he let many enemies escape, his lifespan was not as long as Gu An had expected.

They were all warmongers, but they lived their lives with a clear conscience, never killing innocent lives or people they had no grudges against; at most, they would stand by and watch someone die.

Thinking about Ji's battles, Gu An felt that in terms of combat talent, Ji was stronger. In fact, Gu An had never seen anyone stronger than Ji.

If they hadn't been hunted down by immortals and gods, their potential limit would have been unimaginable.

After entering the Dao Fruit Realm, Ji's combat talent became significantly stronger. None of the ten thousand immortals and gods were below him in realm, and each of them possessed extraordinary abilities. The pressure they exerted on Ji surpassed that of any opponent he had faced in his previous life.

Even so, Ji managed to break through the encirclement of ten thousand powerful enemies whose realms were higher than his own.

As for the Heavenly Spirit God they encountered at the end, that guy was indeed terrifying, clearly far surpassing them by many levels.

Gu An opened his eyes. Instead of immediately returning to the North Sea Mountains, he had another idea.

He wants to fight against the extreme!

Although he is Ji, he still wants to compete with another version of himself.

His aura was so strong that even when he died in front of the Heavenly Spirit God, he felt no fear or dread.

Just do it!

Gu An's mind stirred.

[Simulated combat with extreme elements requires 1000000 years of lifespan. Continue?]

continue!

Gu An's eyes sharpened, and his consciousness became absorbed into the simulation.

They are all Daoist immortals at ease, but Gu An is still at the state of perfection.

Gu An prefers the method of higher-level players fighting lower-level players, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have requirements for his own combat strength.

The battle lasted for several hours, until nightfall.

Gu An opened his eyes, his brows furrowing.

He actually lost!
He can't beat Ji!
Ji's ultimate combat techniques are so powerful that he can find a way to counter any fighting method he uses in a very short time.

Gu An was somewhat frustrated. He had never tried so hard before, but he still lost.

Defeating himself wasn't a big deal, but he was still a little annoyed.

I need to study the ultimate combat techniques later!

Gu An stood up and looked towards the North Sea Mountains. He saw that the Mysterious Immortal was cultivating and was not in a hurry to find out why he had disappeared.

Seeing this, he decided to return to Tai Xuan Sect first.

He vanished into thin air.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Gu An sat in the attic of the Third Medicine Valley. He reviewed the previous battles, constantly analyzing them, and searching for a way to defeat Ji.

His magical power was stronger than Ji's, but it was clear that Ji had invested far more lifespan in the Extreme Dao Battle Technique than in the Dao Technique itself. Moreover, Ji's combat talent was truly extraordinary, and the entire process was oppressive and flawless.

This sitting lasted from night until dawn.

He only woke up when the sound of his disciples practicing their exercises came from outside the window.

He couldn't help but smile.

Is it because they are so influenced by this? Why do they value the desire to win so much?

Isn't he aiming for a higher level while beating someone at a lower level?
When he reached the Tianyuan era of Ji, it was unimaginable how terrifying he would be. Ji would certainly be insignificant in his eyes.

Gu An discovered that reincarnation and evolution absorbs personality traits and characteristics from the evolutionary process. Fortunately, it only absorbs the good aspects; at least he did not inherit Long Zhan's brutality.

"I have a goal for the future..."

Gu An silently thought that he needed to comprehend the ultimate battle techniques, and at the same time, he thought of the dragon's divine abilities.

The Great Dharma Form of Heavenly Dragon Reincarnation!
This supernatural power can condense a past life's body to fight alongside the user, making it very suitable for the cycle of lifespan.

Gu An realized that all his reincarnations were battle maniacs, and the more of them there were, the stronger the Heavenly Dragon Reincarnation Great Dharma Form would become. In a sense, the more times one reincarnated, the stronger the Heavenly Dragon Reincarnation Great Dharma Form would be.

The ultimate form condensed from the Heavenly Dragon Reincarnation Dharma Image retains the fighting will of the original body, but has no independent thought; it can only fight and cannot act as an avatar.

Looking to the future, Gu An raised his hand, and countless past lives stood behind him—how magnificent!
Long Zhan's self-created divine abilities, like the ultimate battle techniques, have immeasurable limits.

Gu An took a deep breath, no longer obsessing over winning or losing.

Even if we fail, we'll just keep getting stronger!

This is a good opportunity to curb arrogance and laziness!
Gu An stood up, then went downstairs to practice exercises with his disciples.

He had just arrived downstairs when Ji Xiaoyu came out and asked to practice exercises with him, which he accepted.

During the subsequent practice sessions, Gu An could sense that Ji Xiaoyu was observing him.

After merging with Ji's life memories, Gu An's temperament changed somewhat. He couldn't make himself completely the same as before the memory fusion, and he wasn't afraid that Ji Xiaoyu would see through him. He just refused to admit it, so what could she do?
After the exercise session ended, Ji Xiaoyu invited Gu An to stay in her room for a while, and Gu An did not refuse.

After entering the house, the two sat facing each other at the table.

Ji Xiaoyu stared at Gu An and said, "You have some reincarnation aura on you. Where did you go yesterday?"

Gu An replied, "He went to save the world, so what? Can you see who I was in my past life?"

How can a mere Reincarnation Dao Emperor compare to the Supreme One?
Speaking of which, Ji also went to the Yin-Yang Realm of later generations, swept away all the strong people in the Yin-Yang Realm, and even made the Yin-Yang Realm erect an imperial monument for him.

“I can’t see through you. I suddenly suspect that you are actually like me, both of us are reincarnations of great beings.” Ji Xiaoyu said, a smile appearing on his face.

Gu An raised an eyebrow and said, "How is that possible? I didn't get any memories of my past life, and I didn't even dream about anything."

"That's because your karmic cycle is still dormant, and your cultivation speed is too slow."

Ji Xiaoyu smiled, but then suddenly her brows furrowed as if she had thought of something.

If Gu An is like her, isn't her future already predetermined?
They will eventually become someone else's memory, and everything about them will belong to their original selves, not to those who truly lived.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoyu's gaze towards Gu An changed.

At that moment, she felt the power of destiny.

Did fate bring her together with Gu An?
Gu An noticed that she was feeling down, so he changed the subject and asked, "Then guess who was stronger in our past lives?"

Ji Xiaoyu's soul is the Reincarnation Dao Emperor; the two are one. Even Gu An cannot separate her from the Reincarnation Dao Emperor's body.

If she only has memories and no soul, then she wouldn't be the real her.

This is an unsolvable problem; only time can heal the resentment.

"Then naturally I am stronger. From the perspective of reincarnation and cause and effect, I have reincarnated far more times than you. For beings at that level, the number of reincarnations represents the level of their cultivation."

Ji Xiaoyu said it as a matter of course, which made Gu An want to laugh.

The Emperor of Reincarnation hadn't even survived the cycle of reincarnation, so how could he compare to his previous incarnation?

Let alone the battle between Ji and Long, even the Reincarnation Dao Emperor probably couldn't defeat Lu Han.

The two continued chatting, and Ji Xiaoyu began to talk about the battle she dreamed of, a great battle between the Reincarnation Dao Emperor and a powerful enemy, which made Gu An very excited.

Of course, the emotions were feigned; he had to give Ji Xiaoyu face.

During his conversation with Ji Xiaoyu, Gu An also began to think more deeply.

He felt that he could incorporate his extreme cultivation methods into his teaching of his disciples, which might make them stronger.

Let's start with peace of mind!
No one can possess the most exceptional combat talent, but if one could achieve even a fraction of the highest level of combat prowess, they could still sweep aside opponents of the same realm.

Unfortunately, Ji never met An Hao in her life, and no one knows where An Hao will go in the future.

From the current perspective, An Haoyuan cannot be compared to Ji, but the two have different upbringings, and their future is still uncertain.

……

late at night.

Hidden Spirit Palace.

Gu An was instructing the Deep Sea Dragon Carp in its cultivation. The Deep Sea Dragon Carp, after transforming, was dressed in white, and its black hair was tied up on its head, making it even more feminine.

He had intended to teach the deep-sea dragon carp a lesson, but he found it quite pleasing to the eye, so he refrained from criticizing it.

Deep-sea dragon carp was very happy to receive Gu An's personal instruction. He spoke very gently, even more so than An Xin and Ye Lan, which sometimes made Gu An unable to help but look at him a few more times.

After Gu An finished teaching, he lay down on the chair and began to read.

The deep-sea dragon carp practiced its footwork on the side and asked, "Master, I've read the book you gave me. Do you think I'll have a chance to transform into a dragon in the future?"

He is called Longli because he possesses the bloodline of an ancient dragon.

He yearned for the form of the ancient dragon from the bottom of his heart.

Gu An flipped through the Travelogue of the Green Knight and casually replied, "Cultivate diligently, and you'll have the opportunity to do whatever you want or become whatever you want in the future."

The deep-sea dragon carp was greatly encouraged after hearing this, and its cultivation of the Time-Traveling Steps became even more energetic.
