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

Chapter 414 The Tower of Limitless Heaven and Earth

Upon hearing Shen Zhen's words, Gu An did not respond. His gaze was fixed on Yu Chan, his eyes extremely indifferent.

Yu Chan could tell from his eyes that he was tough, and it seemed impossible to get past him and take Shen Zhen away.

Yu Chan sighed and said, "We were having such a pleasant chat, but I didn't expect you to still be blocking my way. Of course, if you can walk with him, how could you possibly be on the same path as me? I was confused."

He took a step back.

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhen was curious: Did these two know each other?
Moreover, judging from what the other party said, he wanted to win over Gu An.

That's quite normal. Gu An's charm is too strange. He can always befriend all sorts of demons and monsters, and even form a friendship with a great cultivator despite the age difference.

I just don't know who this person is or why he wants to win over Gu An.

Just as she was lost in thought, Yu Chan raised her right hand, golden flames surging in her palm, and the small tower reappeared.

The moment Shen Zhen saw the small tower, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Danger!

She subconsciously looked at Gu An, and seeing that he showed no fear, her heart gradually calmed down.

Although she couldn't understand Gu An's confidence, she subconsciously believed him.

Gu An's gaze also fell on the small tower, but a prompt also appeared in front of him.

Hostility from Yu Chan!
Once triggered, it evokes intense hatred!

No wonder they're from the Demon Realm!

Gu An sighed: "Why bother?"

"Why bother?"

Yu Chan seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. The small pagoda in his hand burst forth with dazzling golden light, his expression turned ferocious, and he hissed in a low voice, "Who do you think you are talking to..."

Gu An suddenly waved his sleeve, and a strong wind rose from the ground, instantly scattering the jade cicada's body and turning even the monk's robe into ashes.

The small golden tower fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The cave quickly fell silent.

Shen Zhen seemed to be frozen in place again, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

You have successfully seized 85 years of the lifespan of Yu Chan (Level 3 of the Divine Transformation Realm).

Looking at the prompt in front of him, Gu An felt regret.

Although he was the reincarnation of a free immortal, the lifespan of this physical body was pitifully short.

Gu An turned to look at Shen Zhen and asked with a smile, "Aren't you usually very brave, fearless of heaven and earth? Why are you so scared tonight? I really want to draw you so you can see yourself."

Shen Zhen snapped out of his daze and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is your cultivation level?"

Gu An slightly raised his chin, looked down at her, and smiled, "When you are strong enough, you will know my cultivation level."

Shen Zhen was about to continue speaking when the small golden tower on the ground suddenly burst forth with golden light, abruptly changing the environment inside the cave.

They seemed to have suddenly arrived in the cosmos, standing on a meteorite.

Shen Zhen was startled and subconsciously turned around to look at the scene. It was her first time in space, but she had dreamed of such a sight before.

Gu An was not surprised and calmly looked into the deep space of the universe.

The small golden tower is rising, deep in the universe. Its windows open, and golden flames surge forth, like a stream turning into a vast ocean, magical and unstoppable.

As Shen Zhen noticed this scene, the golden flames quickly condensed into a giant face, larger than heaven and earth, looking down at them.

Yu Chan's face!

But the atmosphere is completely different!
His eyes, in particular, were filled with a majestic light that made it impossible to see his pupils clearly.

Compared to the giant face of the Jade Cicada, Gu An and Shen Zhen were smaller than dust.

This is even more shocking than what Immortal Lord Qiuxi brought back!
Because she was not in the world at that moment, but in the boundless universe, Yu Chan's face still occupied most of her field of vision. How could she not feel shocked?

She instinctively moved closer to Gu An and grabbed his sleeve.

Gu An looked at her and smiled, "What are you afraid of? I'm still by your side."

Looking at his smile, Shen Zhen felt a complex mix of emotions, including fear, despair, curiosity, and anticipation.

"Who are you anyway?"

Shen Zhen stared at Gu An and asked, even if she was stupid, she knew that Gu An was not as simple as the Valley Master of Medicine Valley.

No wonder the sect leader always comes here.

and many more!

Could it be that he...

A ridiculous guess popped into Shen Zhen's mind, causing her to widen her eyes in surprise.

"You are not a reincarnated being!"

Yu Chan's voice rang out, her tone filled with apprehension.

Gu An looked at him again and smiled, "Your skills are impressive, you can fool people with your deception, but can you escape my grasp?"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand.

Yu Chan seemed to sense something, his eyes snapped open, and a terrifying aura gathered in his eyes.

Gu An's right hand suddenly accelerated, as if he were grabbing at the starry sky. As he pulled his hand back, he clenched his right hand into a fist.

The cosmos vanished, and Shen Zhen felt a blur before her eyes. When her vision returned, she was back in her cave.

Gu An stretched and said, "It's late, time to sleep."

He strode toward the entrance of the cave.

Shen Zhen stepped forward and asked, "What happened to him?" "He won't be coming back. He hopes that only you and I know what happened tonight."

After saying these words, Gu An disappeared around the corner of the cave passage.

Shen Zhen stood there, recalling what she had seen and heard, and felt as if she were in a dream.

"Have I been transported to another world?"

Shen Zhen muttered to herself. She walked to the table and sat down. She raised her hand and reached out to snatch the wine pot from a distance, but her hand was trembling.

……

Inside the Third Medicine Valley, Gu An sat in the pavilion, holding a small golden pagoda in his right hand.

Previously, Shen Zhen had deliberately isolated the movements in his cave, so even the Sun and Moon Emperors did not sense any movement or abnormality.

The Divine Sense Immortal is very strong, but it is nothing in front of the Free and Easy Immortal. In the eyes of the Free and Easy Immortal of the Daoist Canon, it is no different from a mortal spirit.

Gu An was using his divine sense to search for Yu Chan's soul; Yu Chan's true form was inside the tower.

Just as he guessed, Yu Chan and the being behind him wanted to rebuild in the Demon Realm. He had invited the Demon Beyond many times, but was rejected. Until hundreds of years ago, his reincarnated body sensed the cause and effect of the Demon Beyond, and he felt the hope of winning over the Demon Beyond.

Yu Chan's cycle of reincarnation has reached its final stage, which is why he is able to retain his memories of his past life.

The closer one gets to successfully transcending the tribulation, the more memories of their past lives they will have in their reincarnation.

Zhang Shi was only one step away from success.

Ji Xiaoyu estimates that she is still some distance away from achieving her goal.

The more times one reincarnates, the stronger one's control over the reincarnated body becomes. In the early stages of the reincarnation tribulation, it is like being reborn, and one cannot recover the memories of the previous life until death.

The current Demon Realm is very powerful, with more than ten Free Immortals, led by the Demon Emperor, whose cultivation is unfathomable. Even Yu Chan does not know how high his cultivation level is.

They have many goals for the Demon Realm, and the Heavenly Spirit Great World is just one of them. They wander in the depths of the Realm of Annihilation.

Gu An withdrew his divine sense, clenched his right hand, and golden sand drifted out through his fingers, then turned into ashes.

This small golden tower is also a supreme treasure of the immortal path. It took Yu Chan millions of years to create it, and it is even stronger than the supreme treasures of the immortal path held by the Holy Court because it has never been separated from its master.

You have successfully seized 2580928 years of lifespan from the Divine Cicada Demon Lord (Ninth Level of the Free Immortal Realm).

The prompt that popped up in front of him did not bring Gu An any joy.

It seems that the cycle of reincarnation will temporarily stop the lifespan of the main body, and undergoing the cycle of reincarnation does not consume the lifespan of the main body.

As Gu An was thinking, the golden sand in front of him re-condensed, forming the small golden tower.

This tower is called the Tower of Boundless Heaven and Earth, which can create domains, including the cosmic starry sky that Gu An and his companion entered earlier.

Within this domain, its master can suppress enemies and even create endless illusions to paralyze them.

Gu An looked at the Tower of Boundless Heaven and Earth, a smile playing on his lips. He began to erase all cause and effect within the tower. This process would be difficult even for a free immortal, but it was easy for him now.

The moon sets and the sun rises.

As dawn broke, the Tower of Boundless Heaven and Earth had no trace of its connection to the Demon Realm, resembling a blank sheet of paper. Yet, this blank sheet of paper was heavy, containing boundless power.

Gu An hung the palm-sized Heaven and Earth Limitless Tower on his belt, using it as an ornament along with Qingtian Peak.

After doing all this, he stood up and went downstairs to practice his exercises.

Around noon, Shen Zhen came to find Gu An and happened to see Gu An playing chess with Long Qing.

After following Shen Xinzi on a training trip for a period of time, Long Qing returned and became even more diligent in his cultivation. He also began to study the way of chess, just like the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord, believing that there was a great Dao hidden between black and white. Even his master, Shen Xinzi, did not refute this conjecture.

Gu An used the Seven Star Mirror as a fan and waved it slightly.

Shen Zhen came into the crowd and, seeing his appearance, really wanted to scold him.

But the thought of last night made her feel complicated again.

Faced with Gu An's mysterious and terrifyingly powerful methods, she instinctively felt awe and could no longer regard him as before.

Gu An turned to look at Shen Zhen and gave her a provocative look.

It's as if it's saying, "Want to play another round?"
Shen Zhen glared at Gu An, thinking to herself, "How could I possibly beat you? No wonder no one else can beat you either."

A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling the strands of hair around Shen Zhen's ears.

She gazed at Gu An quietly, feeling that he was so distant, beyond the reach of time, yet so real, like a mirage.

The world is vast, and there is such a powerful cultivator hidden beside her.

She couldn't understand why Gu An wanted to hide his cultivation level.

But she began to reflect on Gu An's life, and now, looking back, every action and every event of Gu An seemed to contain profound truths.

What is his world like?
Shen Zhen was lost in thought.

A leaf flew up behind her, quickly turning yellow and withering as it soared into the sky, eventually landing and turning into the grass on the ground.

Leaves rise and fall, year after year, and ten years have passed.

It was late autumn.

Gu An got up and left the chess table.

The person playing chess with him was an elderly man with white hair, who was looking at the chessboard with a pained expression.

Gu An walked towards his pavilion, his gaze fixed on the sky.

"It's time to break through."

Gu An thought to himself, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

What realm lies beyond the Daoist immortal realm?
He arrived at the pavilion just as Ji Xiaoyu pushed open the door and came out.

"I have to leave Medicine Valley for some business. We'll talk when I get back," Gu An said first, then quickly went upstairs.
