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

Chapter 563 Sin, The Calamity of the Tai Xuan Sect

Under Gu An's gaze, a boy with a full head of black hair walked out of the door. He looked to be only a little over ten years old, very thin, wearing a pair of tattered pants, and his face was dirty.

He stood in the shadows in front of the gate, looking around nervously.

[Sin (Nirvana): 0/9999/9999]

Although his Nirvana Realm cultivation level wasn't very high, his karma was extremely complex, and even someone as powerful as Gu An couldn't see through it.

The chaotic and complex cause and effect are intricately connected with the Great Dao rules within the Heavenly Tomb of Despair. At first glance, Gu An felt that this boy was imprisoned here by the Great Dao.

The most crucial question is, how come he's only zero years old?
Newborn?
Gu An became curious about the crime, but his immediate priority was to break through the barrier, so he closed his eyes after watching for a while.

The commotion caused by the breakthrough quickly spread throughout the entire Heavenly Tomb of Despair, making the villains in front of the gate even more nervous, and they even shrank back inside the gate, only peeking out their heads.

As Gu An closed his eyes, time passed quickly.

Half an hour later, Gu An successfully broke through to the Taiqing Golden Immortal Realm.

The Taiqing Golden Immortal is still an enhancement of the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit. A blue sky appeared above the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, which was transformed from Taiqing. This blue sky reminded Gu An of the Heavenly Dao.

This is how the Way of Heaven pervades the vast world!

Upon reaching the Taiqing Golden Immortal realm, one's destiny undergoes a transformation, freeing one from the constraints of the Great Dao. Even without passing through the boundary gate, Gu An can transcend the Great World, and he can even see realms beyond the Great Thousand Worlds.

Nothingness, chaos, nothing at all, not even light.

The Heavenly Tomb of Despair is like a vast world, though not as expansive as the Heavenly Spirit World, its structure is similar to that of a vast world.

In addition to the leap in magical power, the mind's eye began to transform, and the divine sense also transformed. The Taiqing Golden Immortal could come and go freely, and wherever his thoughts went, his soul and body could go directly there without being hindered in the process of traveling.

Within the barrier of lifespan, Gu An shone with intense light, and the spiritual energy of the Great Dao formed a whirlwind that surrounded him, with countless stars seemingly hidden within the wind, shimmering with brilliance.

After fully entering the Taiqing Golden Immortal Realm, Gu An began to strive for higher minor realms.

It wasn't until he reached the late stage of the Taiqing Golden Immortal realm that his thoughts returned to reality. When he opened his eyes again, his entire demeanor suddenly changed.

He became even more aloof, exuding an aura of self-importance.

The Supreme Purity Golden Immortal is the pinnacle of the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, and also the sixth realm of the Dao Fruit Realm. The Great Dao tells Gu An that very few beings reach this level, as it is a realm that even the Great Dao cannot completely restrict.

Gu An could sense that the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit had reached its limit. If he broke through again, he would receive even greater fortune, and his Dao Fruit would also usher in a brand new fortune.

The spiritual energy of the Great Dao continued to flow into Gu An's body, and the rich power of the Great Dao surrounded him, seemingly protecting him during his breakthrough.

Gu An looked into the distance again, but the figure of Zui was no longer visible in front of the gate of that huge palace.

He felt a sense of loss, a feeling that puzzled him.

His intuition told him that he had some connection to sin, and the reason he couldn't recall it now was perhaps because that connection would occur in the future.

He felt it was likely related to the cycle of life, perhaps the sin was connected to his past life.

He had this feeling ever since he saw the Heavenly Tomb of Despair, as if something was waiting for him there, and he had to come.

Gu An stared blankly at the enormous palace.

Even if he succeeds in breaking through, he still cannot fully calculate the cause and effect of the Heavenly Tomb of Despair. However, he is certain that the entire world is the Heavenly Tomb, where the cause and effect of countless powerful beings are buried. He can even see the scenes of those powerful beings before their deaths.

The Heavenly Tomb of Despair appears calm on the surface, but it is actually extremely terrifying. If there were no lifespan barrier, Gu An would be devoured by the mysterious power within the Heavenly Tomb of Despair within just one hour, and thus would be unable to escape.

Gu An didn't know what this power was, but he even felt that it was no less powerful than the Heavenly Dao.

Time continues to pass.

Even after Gu An reached the pinnacle of the Taiqing Golden Immortal realm, the strange phenomena within the Heavenly Tomb of Despair had not yet dissipated.

Aside from Sin, he sensed no other presence; it seemed that Sin was the only living being within the Heavenly Tomb of Despair.

Once his cultivation level stopped increasing, Gu An stood up and chose to teleport back.

As for the confusion brought about by sin, he planned to let time give him the answer. Anyway, with the breakthrough in lifespan, he could come back again in the future.

A while later, Gu An appeared inside the Hidden Spirit Palace.

He pulled up his attribute panel. This breakthrough alone consumed 70 billion years of his lifespan, leaving his lifespan around 100 billion years. Not bad, he still had some lifespan left.

After glancing at the deep-sea dragon carp that had already begun its cultivation, Gu An disappeared from the spot.

Instead of returning to the Wushi Dojo, he went straight to the outer city of the Taixuan Sect.

He hasn't returned to the Tai Xuan Sect for tens of thousands of years.

Compared to the previous era, the Tai Xuan Sect is more prosperous. Even the outer city has been expanded, making it more expansive than the previous sect's main city.

Gu An appeared out of thin air in the crowd on the street without attracting anyone's attention. Even when he appeared in the eyes of the passing disciples, they only felt that he had an outstanding temperament and were not puzzled as to why he suddenly appeared. This was due to his Dao intent.

He can influence the senses of others and even sway their minds.

The Tai Xuan Sect was bustling with activity today. Gu An strolled around, listening to the Tai Xuan Sect disciples' discussions.

"It is said that even Elder Zhuxing could not subdue Ye Cang."

"Is the Primordial Chaos Body truly so domineering?"

"That's not the case. Ye Cang holds a supreme immortal treasure, and there is clearly a powerful figure behind him. It is said that the Guangyuan Holy Sect, which supports him, has an unparalleled powerhouse who surpasses the ninth level of immortality."

"Won't the Tai Xuan Sect be unable to withstand it?"

"Ye Cang was once a disciple of our Tai Xuan Sect, but now he has become our enemy. What exactly happened back then?"

Gu An listened to the discussions but paid no attention to Ye Cang.

The new era will give birth to new geniuses, not to mention that the world today is far more powerful than the last era.

Before the Great Thousand Worlds were reshaped, thousands of Great Worlds were scattered throughout the universe. From ancient times to the present, beings who wanted to surpass the Free Immortals would leave the Great Worlds and seek opportunities in the universe, because their respective Worlds could not help them reach a higher realm.

Now, the world has been restored to its former state, the Heavenly Dao has reappeared, opportunities abound, and more and more powerful beings are returning, some from the Great Dao River, some from reincarnation, in countless ways, causing the overall strength of the Heavenly Spirit Great World to increase rapidly.

As for the Heavenly Court, perhaps it was standing too high and did not notice this, and the War Court was nowhere to be found.

Returning to Tai Xuan Sect was mainly because Gu An missed it and wanted to come back and visit.

He walked slowly, enjoying the scenery along the way. Before he knew it, he arrived at the library. This time, he did not go inside.

Compared to his last visit, the library had become much more magnificent, making it feel unfamiliar to him.

Old friends kept appearing in Gu An's mind, bringing a smile to his face.

Although the person he met is no longer here, the memories of the past are so beautiful that they bring him joy whenever he recalls them.

Nowadays, very few people in the Tai Xuan Sect can recognize Gu An. Those people are highly respected and have been in seclusion for many years, so they would never come to the outer city.

Gu An stood in front of the library, gazing at the building and reminiscing about the past.

The sky behind him began to change color, and rolling thunderclouds swept in from the horizon, quickly obscuring the sky above the outer city gate.

As darkness fell, Gu An's thoughts returned to reality. He turned around and saw lightning and thunder at the edge of the world, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The Candle Star of Xuan Yuan Zi Zai Immortal Realm could not stop Ye Cang, or more accurately, it could not stop the immortal treasure in Ye Cang's hands.

That immortal treasure contained the soul of Luo Tian Zizai Immortal. Because it was only a soul, it could only exert the strength of Xuan Yuan Zizai Immortal. Combined with the immortal treasure, it actually had the power to sweep away those of the same realm.

Gu An saw through the origin of that soul at a glance.

This soul is named Ancestor Qingtian. He comes from another Great Thousand World. When the Heavenly Spirit God was preparing to destroy the Great Thousand World, he took advantage of the chaos in the Great Dao to sneak in. He was escaping from pursuit, as a transcendent force wanted to kill him.

Later, the Ancestor Qingtian met Ye Cang and was attracted by Ye Cang's physique. They spent thousands of years together and developed a deep bond. Ye Cang was determined to take revenge, and the Ancestor Qingtian had no choice but to support him.

After defeating Zhuxing, Ye Cang quickly charged towards the Tai Xuan Sect.

Ye Cang, who is over nine thousand years old, has already reached the cultivation level of a Loose Immortal, not far from the Wandering Immortal Realm. His talent can indeed be considered top-notch in this era.

However, his strength mainly depends on the Sky-Supporting Ancestor. People are unaware of the Sky-Supporting Ancestor's existence, so they overestimate his talent.

On the edge of the continent, above rolling thunderclouds, a man in black walked against the wind. His face was cold and his eyes were sharp. In his right hand, he held a blue ancient pagoda, which constantly emitted rainbow light that crashed against the sea of ​​clouds.

He is Ye Cang!
