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

Chapter 490 The Cycle of Heaven, a Lifespan of Hundreds of Billions of Years
When Gu An returned to the Third Medicine Valley, it was already dusk. He called An Xin and they went back to his pavilion together.

"Master, is there something you need?" Anxin asked curiously.

Gu An rarely called her over, but if he did, it must be something important.

Gu An smiled and asked, "What do you think if I'm planning to leave?"

Upon hearing this, An Xin's expression immediately turned serious. She knew her master wasn't joking, because she had also sensed something was amiss over the years.

The concept of the Way of Heaven was widely spread throughout the land, and everyone was expected to believe in it and pursue their destiny. At first, she didn't feel anything, but when she heard her disciples believe that the fate of the world was predetermined by Heaven, she realized something was wrong.

She still remembered what He Qingsong had said: Heaven did not want her master to interfere.

Although she wasn't sure if He Qingsong could represent the Way of Heaven, she couldn't help but think about it.

“If Master wants to leave, then leave. I will definitely follow you. Where to? When?” Anxin asked, seemingly without any hesitation, even a little impatient.

Gu An shook his head and chuckled, then asked, "Don't you have any people or things you can't bear to part with?"

Anxin replied, "Although I am the eldest disciple of Medicine Valley and have close relationships with many disciples, I know where everything I have comes from. I only care about my master and senior brothers."

She is gentle and considerate in her dealings with people and things, but that doesn't mean she is indecisive.

Gu An could hear her inner thoughts and knew that she wasn't lying.

He smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I'll give you a task: select a suitable disciple from the Third Medicine Valley to take over the position of Valley Master in the future. Of course, don't reveal my intentions now."

An Xin immediately agreed, and then she began to ask Gu An where he was going, but Gu An did not answer her.

Because he was still hesitating.

The universe is vast, and there are countless heavens and earths. Whether to go to the outer heavens or stay in the vast heaven and earth is a question worth considering.

……

Beneath the mysterious starry sky, the Heavenly Dao Golden Elixir radiates endless light, illuminating the entire universe.

boom!
A gust of wind rushed towards the Sun Immortal Emperor, causing his golden robes to billow violently. He squinted as he looked at An Hao in front of him.

Ten feet away, An Hao stood with his back to him, his body surrounded by golden flames, his long hair flowing, exuding an aura that soared to the sky.

"His aura is almost on par with a celestial being ascending to heaven. How could his strength have increased so quickly? Something's not right."

Emperor Yang's eyes flickered, and he thought with surprise and doubt.

An Hao slowly turned around and glanced at Emperor Yangxian. His eyes were indifferent, completely different from his usual self, which made Emperor Yangxian frown.

"Something seems off about you?" Emperor Yang asked.

An Hao said, "There are powerful beings eyeing the Heavenly Dao Golden Core. They are already waiting for the Heavenly Dao Golden Core to appear in the world."

Emperor Yang narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did the Heavenly Dao Golden Pill tell you that?"

An Hao did not answer, but stared at Emperor Yangxian and said, "The calamity of the Immortal Dynasty is coming, and the fierce battle you are looking forward to is probably just wishful thinking."

"A calamity?"

Emperor Yang frowned even more deeply, becoming even more suspicious of An Hao's condition.

An Hao said quietly, "Your Majesty, if the Immortal Dynasty were to face the threat of destruction, would you sacrifice yourself to save it?"

ho-

Emperor Yangxian heard a sound behind him and turned around. He saw a halo appear on the surface of the Heavenly Dao Golden Pill, which rapidly expanded, reflecting the prosperous scene of the Immortal Dynasty.

Under his gaze, a hand descended from the sky, uprooting the continent where the Immortal Dynasty was located and moving it to the heavens.

After that, this hand crushed the entire Immortal Dynasty into dust, leaving nothing behind.

Emperor Yang's expression turned ugly. The scene within the halo disappeared, leaving only a blurry figure standing inside, seemingly waiting for him.

"The Heavenly Spirit's nemesis has set its sights on this realm. The destruction of the Immortal Dynasty was just the beginning. Next is the Holy Court. What will you do? The opponent is an existence that surpasses even the Free Immortal."

An Hao spoke, his tone so indifferent, as if possessed by some supreme being.

Emperor Yang looked at him again and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

An Hao remained calm and replied, "I am still An Hao, but I have become different from the past due to my trials in the cycle of Heaven's Dao over the years."

"The cycle of Heaven?"

“Yes, I have been experiencing the destruction of the Heavenly Spirit Great World. Every time, the ending is the annihilation of all living beings, the shattering of heaven and earth, and the theft of the Heavenly Dao Golden Core by a mysterious and powerful being. I have been changing the situation in the cycle of reincarnation, but the ending is always the same. As long as heaven and earth are shattered and the light of the Heavenly Dao that covers heaven and earth dissipates, that mysterious being will make a move.” An Hao said in a tone that was hard to decipher, with both sorrow and determination.

Emperor Yangxian was not alarmed. Instead, he looked at him intently and asked, "If that's the case, what's the point of me sacrificing myself?"

An Hao looked at the Heavenly Dao Golden Core and said, "The Heavenly Dao Golden Core will grant you power, allowing you to surpass the Free Immortal. However, from now on, you will become the puppet of the Heavenly Dao Golden Core. Your emotions will be erased. You will still be you, but you will no longer be able to do many things, and that is only if you succeed."

Emperor Yangxian smiled and said, "Sounds a lot like the Heavenly Sect that wanders among mortals."

He turned to look at the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, and the figure inside the halo gradually became clearer. It was another version of himself, as if he were looking in a mirror.

Two flames blazed in Yang Xiandi's eyes, growing ever stronger.

……

Time flies, and another two hundred years have passed.

The Third Medicine Valley.

Gu Zong stood in front of Gu An's pavilion, looking up at the building, his face full of complex emotions.

Anxin stood aside and said, "Elder Gu, go back. I will inform you if Master returns."

Gu Yu, standing beside Gu Zong, couldn't help but ask, "He's been gone for over 150 years, why hasn't he come back yet? Could he really be gone? The Qin family has already been punished, even kicked out, yet he still can't let go of his resentment?"

Anxin shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with this matter. Master went out for other things. You're overthinking it."

Gu Yu wanted to say more, but Gu Zong stopped him.

"Let's go, it's time to go back. Perhaps we were just overthinking it," Gu Zong sighed, then turned and left.

Gu Yu could only follow in his footsteps.

Under a tree not far away, the Blood Prison Great Sage, who was meditating, opened his eyes, watched them leave, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.

Anxin turned and left without lingering downstairs.

at the same time.

Inside the attic, Gu An had not left; he was lying in a chair reading a book.

He simply concealed his presence and causality, making people mistakenly believe that he was not there. Even if someone comes in now, they will not be able to see him.

After reading the last page, Gu An brought up his attribute panel.

Name: Gu An

Lifespan: 2, 143/9, 999, ​​605, 001

[Physical Constitution: Primordial Limitless Body]

[Cultivation Level: Perfected Luo Tian Free Immortal Realm]

……

A lifespan of 9.9 billion years!
We're very close to 10 billion years!

Gu An looked forward to the new lifespan ability with increasing anticipation, hoping it wouldn't disappoint him.

The reason he pretended to leave beforehand was to prepare for a breakthrough.

His next breakthrough would surely be earth-shattering. He was unsure whether his journey to the Land of Reincarnation would disturb the Heavenly Spirit Realm, so he chose to conceal himself beforehand.

Now, apart from the Heavenly Spirit God, no one should be aware that he is still here.

He rolled over and got up, beginning to peer into the distance.

He sensed a powerful force approaching the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

The Daoist Canon: The Free and Unfettered Immortal!
The opponent did not intend to destroy the Heavenly Spirit World, but rather attacked a corner of the Heavenly Spirit World.

That direction leads to the Celestial Dynasty!
Gu An began to look forward to whether the so-called Heavenly Dao Golden Pill could truly help Emperor Yang defeat an enemy who surpassed the Free Immortal.

Because of An Hao, Gu An often paid attention to the Heavenly Dao Golden Core.

The Heavenly Dao Golden Core was in a special space, and Gu An was able to detect it because he had secretly left the Dao-Destroying Life Mark on An Hao.

He could sense the change in An Hao; An Hao's Heavenly Dao fortune was far more intense than that of a puppet like He Qingsong.
