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

Chapter 417 Longer than Heaven and Earth, Longer than the Great Dao!
Xuan Yuan Zizai Immortal.

What is Xuan Yuan? What is Zi Zai?
Gu An seemed to be surrounded by countless images, which constantly challenged his will. There were images of the past and images of the future, becoming more and more chaotic and violent.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and his consciousness found himself in a vast and dazzling starry sky, where the intricate and chaotic scenes were no longer before him.

His world seemed to suddenly become quiet.

His eyes regained their clarity, and figures emerged from his body, walked in front of him, and turned to look at him.

There were five figures in total!
They are Chu Lu, Xiao Shengtian, Long Zhan, Lu Han, and Ji!

His five reincarnations!

Gu An looked at them, his gaze gradually hardening.

Behind the five reincarnated beings, figures emerged from the depths of the starry sky. Gu An couldn't discern their identities, but he could sense that they were also his reincarnations.

Once he truly begins the cycle of reincarnation, these reincarnated bodies will obtain their own identities.

Their appearance signifies that Gu An has not yet severed his attachment to reincarnation.

Their clothes were different, but their figures looked very similar to Gu An's. With each step they took, they moved forward a large distance, quickly closing in on Gu An.

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands—the number kept increasing, and soon, the starry sky in front of Gu An was filled with countless figures.

Gu An remained seated, gazing at his reincarnated self before him, his expression unchanged.

He was looking at the reincarnations, and all the reincarnations were looking at him, as if he were facing his own true self.

At this moment, Gu An's Dao heart gradually became clear.

The original intention is not the true intention, nor is what is acquired later an obstacle.

His current thoughts are his true nature, and his actions in accordance with his own will at any time are also his true nature.

As long as his conscience does not conflict with his principles, then it is what he should do.

Even if some things don't end well, so what?

He can only pursue his own life; he can at most help others, but he cannot control their will.

Even if the end result is destruction, isn't it a kind of gain to have a period of time that makes him happy before the destruction?
Putting aside cause and effect and fate, Gu An needs to think more about his own pursuits.

Immortality?

Space!
Having cultivated to this point, Gu An understands more and more the principle that the Dao has no limits. Just how high a realm must one reach to attain immortality?

If one encounters an even stronger being, is it possible to preserve immortality?

Gu An reviewed all his memories, including his memories of reincarnation.

His eyes gradually began to shine.

Boom!
The entire universe shattered, and Gu An's consciousness returned to reality. He was still meditating on the broken continent, protected by a lifespan barrier.

Early stage of the Mysterious Origin Free Immortal Realm!

The breakthroughs continue!

Gu An's understanding of the Great Dao became clearer, and his feelings about cause and effect, fate, and reincarnation became deeper.

These are merely transformations in the essence of his life. In terms of strength, his magical power far surpasses that of the Daoist Canon's Free and Easy Immortal Realm!
While the spiritual energy of the Great Dao was still flowing into his body, Gu An began to explore this universe.

His divine sense can see to far beyond.

He first saw a giant gate deep in the universe, which looked very much like the place where the Extreme Fall occurred. The Heavenly Spirit God who had annihilated the Extreme was guarding such a giant gate.

Gate of Boundaries!

When Tianling Shen was about to kill Ji, he mentioned the name of this gate. He also said that anyone who approached the gate was violating the Heavenly Dao and should be destroyed in both body and soul!
Could it be that every universe has a gate?
Gu An saw that the area below the boundary gate was deserted and eerily silent.

His intuition told him that he would run into trouble if he approached the boundary gate.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the vast world in another direction. His divine sense took in all living beings in the world, and even heard their conversations.

This vast world is called the Great Void World, and within it reside three Free Immortals. This world is also currently in the midst of chaos and calamity.

The strange movements outside the heavens have caused turmoil within the Great Void, and various sects are working hard to appease all living beings.

Gu An silently apologized, but he couldn't move and could only continue to wait.

He always has to break through; it's just that the Great Void Realm is unlucky.

Suddenly, Gu An thought of something. He raised his right hand, and his magic power condensed into seeds in his palm. He scattered the seeds towards the vast world of Taixu, and they disappeared into thin air as soon as they flew out.

"Consider it my way of making amends."

Gu An thought to himself, and as he made his move, he looked at the Great Void World again and discovered that the future of the Great Void World had changed.

The fate of heaven and earth constantly branches out; some branches perish, while the remaining branches continue to extend and flourish.

Gu An even foresaw that the Great Void World would collide with the Heavenly Spirit World in the future, although it would be in the very distant future.

Indeed, every variable brings both fortune and misfortune.

Gu An only sighed inwardly, without any regret.

Even without him, the Great Void World would still face changes in the future.

What is a variable?

That is the power that the rules of this world cannot restrain; everything from beyond the heavens can become a variable. Time continued to pass, and Gu An's magical power rose steadily. He did not ignore the lifespan barrier; his lifespan number was jumping rapidly, but the number of digits was not decreasing quickly.

Half an hour later.

Gu An's magical power finally reached the perfection of the Xuan Yuan Zi Zai Immortal Realm, and he still had more than 100 million years of life left.

He stood up, twisted his neck, and his body shimmered with golden light, mesmerizing and mysterious—the light of the Primordial Golden Body.

He then vanished from his spot, directly entering the vortex of reincarnation, and headed towards the Heavenly Spirit World.

He stepped into the vortex of reincarnation, took another step out, and then took yet another step, until he had arrived near the Tai Xuan Sect.

This is the eternal measure of the Dao!
The Great Void and the Great Heaven and Earth are so far apart that even for a free immortal, it is a difficult place to reach. Even now that there is the Cycle of Reincarnation, how vast is the Cycle of Reincarnation? How many people can find their way home in a short time?
Gu An felt the fragrance of flowers and plants in the mountains and forests, and a smile appeared on his face.

This place still makes him feel comfortable.

Now, as noon approaches, and only one night has passed, Gu An has already surpassed the Daoist Canon of Freedom and reached the even higher level of the Profound Origin of Freedom.

Within the vast Heavenly Spirit Realm, in this universe, he had yet to encounter the Daoist Immortal of Freedom.

Of course, the Heavenly Spirit God who guards the boundary gate doesn't count.

Gu An looked up and could already see the figure of the Heavenly Spirit God. The fact that the Heavenly Spirit God could live to such an extreme era was enough to show his power.

In the eyes of countless cultivators, doesn't he represent immortality and eternal life?
Gu An didn't look at Tian Ling Shen for long, afraid that the other party would notice.

It would be very dangerous for him to contend with the Heavenly Spirit God, especially since he has no grudge against the Heavenly Spirit God, so why should he provoke him?

Within the vast Heavenly Spirit Realm, he already possessed the confidence to handle anything.

We don't need to be so cautious anymore, but we still need to keep something in reserve.

Gu An can let people know that he is the Sword Master of the Dao, but he cannot let people know just how strong he is.

He was not fighting for temporary strength or weakness, but for the future of countless generations to come.

No matter how the world changes, or how the sun, moon, and stars move, he will always witness the evolution of everything!

He wants to live longer than heaven and earth, and longer than the Great Dao!
He wants to be the eternal representative!
He wants to enjoy the solitude of immortality!
Gu An's lips curled up, and his right hand touched the flowers and plants along the way. After being touched by his fingers, the flowers and plants came to life and swayed slightly, as if they were about to become sentient.

An hour later, Gu An leisurely walked into the Xuan Valley.

In the valley, some disciples were weeding, some were sowing seeds, and others were practicing magic, making it seem like a small sect, quite lively.

Upon seeing Gu An return, the disciples immediately greeted him.

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

The Third Medicine Valley is now the center of his life, and the Mysterious Valley no longer holds such an important place in his heart.

Just as Gu An arrived at the Third Medicine Valley, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of him.

It was Ji Xiaoyu!
Just as Ji Xiaoyu was about to speak, her gaze suddenly froze. She looked at Gu An and frowned.

Gu An's clothes were the same as yesterday, but his demeanor had changed drastically, leaving Ji Xiaoyu stunned.

"Let's go play chess. Shall we go to your room, or to the dojo?" Gu An asked with a smile.

The so-called "dojo" is a chess-playing area, where dozens of chess tables are set up, and people come to play chess every day.

Ji Xiaoyu snapped out of her thoughts and said, "Let's go to the dojo. I've been wanting to experience life properly lately."

Gu An understood her unspoken meaning but didn't say anything more. He immediately led her towards the temple.

"Last night..." Ji Xiaoyu couldn't help but ask, turning to look at Gu An, her heart filled with confusion.

Gu An looked ahead and smiled, "I practiced my martial arts last night and gained some insights."

"It seems you've grasped quite a bit."

"That's right, don't look at who I am."

Gu An laughed smugly. Ji Xiaoyu thought his smile was annoying, but with that smile, she felt that her relationship with Gu An had been restored, and the distance between them had disappeared.

Ji Xiaoyu sized up Gu An and said, "You weren't hiding your cultivation level, were you?"

Although Gu An's cultivation level did not increase, upon closer examination, his temperament had been constantly changing, which was definitely not an illusion.

“You guessed right. I am actually very strong now. Even if your true self awakens, you may not be my match. Bodhi Patriarch was actually writing about me.” Gu An glanced at her and said seriously.

Ji Xiaoyu couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

All the chess tables in the training ground were occupied, but upon seeing Gu An arrive, two disciples voluntarily gave up their seats, while the other cultivators playing chess were drawn to Gu An's presence.

As soon as Gu An and Ji Xiaoyu sat down, a lot of people gathered around them.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord also arrived. He looked at Gu An with a strange expression, as he also sensed a significant change in Gu An's aura.

Just who is this kid?
Could it be related to the Sword Master Fudao?

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord couldn't understand how Gu An could beat him, and suddenly a bold idea came to him.

Could it be that the Sword Master Fudao is giving Gu An pointers on chess?
possible!
Correct!
That's it!

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord looked at Gu An with fury in his eyes. This kid has no martial ethics!
Gu An let Ji Xiaoyu make the first move, and Ji Xiaoyu didn't hold back.

After seven steps, Gu An sensed Ji Xiaoyu mobilizing the power of the innate Dao talisman.

She was definitely prepared!

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord looked at Ji Xiaoyu in surprise, secretly shocked. What kind of power is this?
