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

Chapter 504 Two hundred and fifty-six billion years of lifespan!
Gu An and Zhen Qin sat facing each other and chatted for a long time. After seeing Su Han's body, Zhen Qin's burden and obsession completely dissipated, and she returned to her usual lively and clever personality.

The master and apprentice talked about the past, and they could talk endlessly about what had happened.

However, everything has an end, including life.

As dusk fell, Zhen Qin looked at Gu An and said earnestly, "Master, thank you for taking care of me in this life. I am incompetent and have never been able to repay you. If there is an afterlife, and I am qualified to repay you, I will definitely try my best."

Unlike the Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower, who, though dead, did not die of old age and could be resurrected by possessing another's body, Zhen Qin's fate was sealed, and there was no way to reverse it.

Gu An smiled and nodded, saying, "There will be an afterlife."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Qin smiled, her eyes filled with anticipation.

She leaned on the table and whispered, "Master, I'm a little sleepy. Can I take a nap here?"

Gu An nodded and said, "Go to sleep. Your master will stay by your side."

Zhen Qin closed her eyes and murmured, "I suddenly miss Martial Aunt Ye so much. It feels like she's been gone for so long..."

Gu An paused in his tea-serving gesture, but did not respond, continuing to drink his tea.

After Zhen Qin fell asleep, Shen Zhen came over. She looked at Zhen Qin and was about to speak when her brows furrowed. She walked to Gu An's side and asked, "Are you alright?"

She knew Zhen Qin's place in Gu An's heart, and considering the impact of Ye Lan, Xiao Chuan, and others' deaths on Gu An, she couldn't help but feel worried.

"I'm fine, of course." Gu An looked at her, smiled, and gestured for her to sit down.

Shen Zhen sat down, her gaze fixed on Gu An.

As Gu An poured her tea, he said, "Doesn't it seem absurd that someone with my cultivation level can't control life and death?"

Shen Zhen was secretly surprised. How could Gu An see through what she was thinking?
She said truthfully, "Indeed, you are the strongest being in my heart. I feel that life and death should not be difficult in front of you, but..."

Gu An laughed and said, "This shows that I am not the strongest being. There is a destiny in the dark. The people I can help are already fortunate. I am just adding icing on the cake. You can glimpse the past and the future, but can you glimpse destiny?"

"To pry into destiny?"

Shen Zhen fell into deep thought; in truth, she was also confused about her path of cultivation.

She doesn't like meditation and qi cultivation; she prefers music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She wants to improve her cultivation through enlightenment, but she doesn't have that much inspiration. Her cultivation has stagnated for many years.

Seeing that she had begun to think seriously, Gu An did not disturb her. He looked at the horizon, where the setting sun was like blood and the sea of ​​clouds seemed to be burning.

Looking at the sky, Gu An suddenly felt that the future he saw was not far enough.

At what level of cultivation can one see the end of this universe?
……

Time flies like an arrow, years pass like a shuttle, and time is fleeting, never to return.

A thousand years pass like fleeting clouds, and worldly affairs are as vast as the waves.

In the thousand years without the Sword Venerable Fudao, the Heavenly Spirit Great World did not encounter any calamities from beyond the heavens, but the internal struggles remained fierce, with ancient secret realms, dojos, and powerful caves constantly emerging, attracting cultivators from all over the world to fight each other.

Gu An's Wushi Dao Temple is now filled with medicinal herbs, and to this day, the lifespan provided by these herbs has exceeded 20 million years annually.

The continent where the Wushi Daoist Temple is located is called the Nine Spirits Continent. Because it is located at the edge of the world, the Wushi Daoist Temple has not been disturbed for thousands of years.

However, more and more human cities are emerging nearby, and they are approaching the Wushi Daoist Temple.

It was early summer of that year.

Gu An stood on the edge of the cliff, watching Chen Chuan spar with the Blood Prison Great Sage. Chen Chuan was now at the Nirvana Realm, and he could put up a fight against the Blood Prison Great Sage, who was at the Loose Immortal Realm.

The two fought in the air. Gu An cast a barrier, allowing them to fight to their hearts' content without affecting the dojo.

After looking at it for a while, Gu An lost interest and pulled up his attribute panel to check. [Name: Gu An]

Lifespan: 3, 155/25, 660, ​​408, 118

[Physical Constitution: Primordial Limitless Body]

[Cultivation Level: Perfected Innate Golden Immortal Realm]

……

A lifespan of 25.6 billion years!
Gu An plans to reach a lifespan of 100 billion years before breaking through. In any case, judging from the fortunes of heaven and earth, the Heavenly Spirit World will be in a state of constant fighting for the next 10,000 years unless there is intervention from a powerful being from beyond the heavens.

Such battles are not meaningless. Gu An could sense that the number of people in the world was 10% less than a thousand years ago, but more geniuses and powerful figures had emerged.

The most famous battle in this millennium was the decisive battle between Emperor Yangxian and Sword Lord Jueluo, who fought for the Heavenly Dao Treatise. In the end, Sword Lord Jueluo suffered a crushing defeat and fled back to the Great Hong Sword Heaven, while Emperor Yangxian went into seclusion after collecting all nine volumes of the Heavenly Dao Treatise.

Gu An used An Hao's Extinction Dao Fate Seal to spy on the Yang Immortal Emperor and discovered that the Yang Immortal Emperor's fortune was changing and his cultivation was also rising.

Emperor Yangxian was originally a Daoist immortal, and with him around, the Holy Court had almost no chance of winning. Meanwhile, Zhu Xi, the reincarnation of the Holy Heaven, was still wandering in the mortal world. Even after regaining her memories of her past life, she had no intention of returning to the Holy Court.

A figure walked up to Gu An's side; it was none other than the Ephemeral Flower Demon Mother.

She looks exactly the same as she did in life. In fact, her body is made of flowers and plants. She is no longer human. Now she is responsible for helping Gu An manage the herbs in the dojo. After all, everyone else has to cultivate, and An Xin has long since stopped wanting to be involved.

"Master, we're running out of seeds," the Ephemeral Flower Demon Mother whispered.

Having experienced life and death, and after a thousand years of refinement, her personality has become calm and composed, making her completely different from the former deputy sect leader of the Juhua Sect.

Gu An stared at Chen Chuan and said, "Yes, there will be new seeds tomorrow. You should go and cultivate first."

The Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower immediately bowed and then took her leave.

"Wait a moment."

Gu An spoke, and upon hearing this, the Ephemeral Flower Ghost Mother subconsciously turned around, and then a secret manual fell into her arms.

She took the manual and looked closely; it was a cultivation technique.

"Strive to achieve Nirvana as soon as possible, so that you can serve me for longer." Gu An said before turning and leaving.

The Ghost Mother of the Ephemeral Flower's eyes, as clear as an ancient well, rippled as she gazed at Gu An's retreating figure, lost in thought.

Gu An walked out of the dojo. Five acquaintances had come today, and he had to go and see them.

Those five familiar faces were none other than Yi Qingshan and the others. Gu An took them in as his disciples because Yi Qingshan was the reincarnation of Lu Jiujia. They had been traveling for a thousand years and had experienced countless hardships. Fortunately, all five of them were still alive.

They provoked an invincible enemy and had no choice but to return to their hometown.

Gu An could hear their conversation. These guys wanted to establish a sect in their hometown, cultivate their own power, and incidentally benefit the people of their hometown.

Although all the relatives they remembered were no longer alive, the land remained unchanged.

When Gu An heard the five people talking about their cultivation experience with him back then, Gu Changsheng actually sighed, wondering if his master was still alive.

All five believed that Gu An was no longer alive, since in their memory Gu An was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

If they hadn't encountered difficulties in their cultivation or provoked enemies, why would they come to such a place to escape the world?

This at least shows that Gu An does not have a powerful background or extraordinary talent.

Thinking of their master, they felt very regretful, feeling that they had not had the chance to repay him.
