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

Chapter 567 The Path of the Buddha Emperor, the Golden Body of Bodhi

When you were three years old, your parents were attacked by the Star Demon Clan in the Chaotic Immortal Galaxy. Your mother sacrificed herself, and your father, severely injured, escaped into a spacetime vortex with you.

When you were four years old, your father, disregarding his own injuries, took you to Mount Ling. On the path of the Great Dao, they were attacked by a powerful cultivator and died. You were taken away by this powerful cultivator and came to a small world. This powerful cultivator took you as his disciple and taught you the methods of cultivating immortality.

Is this misfortune?

So soon she's brought death to her parents...

Gu An felt something was wrong; why was the beginning of each life cycle so tragic?

Is Heaven targeting him?

At the age of six, you successfully established your foundation and learned that your master was named Ancestor Xuan'e. Blind as you were, you were unaware that your father had been killed by Ancestor Xuan'e, and you were deeply grateful for his life-saving and nurturing grace.

At the age of twelve, with the help of Ancestor Xuan'e, you condensed your golden core. Ancestor Xuan'e used his own magic power to restore your eyesight, and you regained your sight. Your gratitude to your master reached another level.

At the age of sixteen, Ancestor Xuan'e summoned you and offered you two paths of cultivation: one was the Great Dao Emperor Path, pursuing the destiny of an emperor and becoming a Great Dao Emperor; the other was the Immortal Path of Longevity, pursuing eternal life and living as long as the Heavenly Dao. You were caught in a dilemma. What would you choose?

You're already making choices so soon!

Upon seeing the idea of ​​living as long as the heavens, Gu An instinctively resisted.

Having experienced so much, he had no affection for the Heavenly Dao and felt that his own cultivation could not rely on the Heavenly Dao.

[You have chosen the Great Dao Emperor Path. Ancestor Xuan'e smiled with satisfaction and began to impart the Great Dao Profound Techniques to you.]

At the age of eighteen, you suffered a qi deviation during cultivation. When Ancestor Xuan'e examined your body, his expression changed drastically. You were forced to reveal your childhood experiences, and Ancestor Xuan'e decided to take you to Mount Ling in place of your parents.

At the age of nineteen, Master Xuan'e brought you to Mount Ling. You entered the Great Thunderclap Temple and met with all the Buddhas. Master Xuan'e asked the Heavenly Buddha to save you. The Heavenly Buddha said that to eliminate your misfortune, you needed to chant Buddhist scriptures for many years. You had to first become a disciple of Mount Ling. Master Xuan'e looked at you and gave you the choice: would you choose to join Mount Ling?

Yes!
Just kidding, he only has two years left before he dies. Gu An can't care about anything else. He just wants to live.

Moreover, this Ancestor Xuan'e is clearly not a good person; at least Mount Ling has no enmity with Eternal Life.

[You chose to join Mount Ling, and the Heavenly Buddha personally accepted you as his disciple, preserving your name of eternal life, hoping that you, with your unfortunate fate, could truly attain immortality. After giving you a few words of advice, Ancestor Xuan'e departed. You gazed at Ancestor Xuan'e's departing figure, reluctant to leave.]

At the age of twenty, misfortune struck you. Fortunately, with the help of the Heavenly Buddha, you temporarily suppressed the misfortune. Led by the Heavenly Buddha, you came to the Bodhi Tree. The Heavenly Buddha transmitted Buddhist mantras to you, allowing you to chant scriptures and cultivate under the Bodhi Tree.

At the age of twenty-three, you achieved a breakthrough in your cultivation, and you developed your own understanding of Buddhism and Taoism.

The subsequent prompts were all about cultivation.

Seeing that the Heavenly Buddha had no intention of seeking immortality, Gu An developed a favorable impression of Mount Ling.

Stay focused, and absolutely do not go off to gain experience halfway through!
Gu An thought to himself.

For him, the opportunity of reincarnation was not the most important thing. He mainly relied on the experience of reincarnation to enhance his understanding of the Great Dao. The higher his realm, the better he could comprehend the Great Dao.

By joining the Ling Mountain, one will have no shortage of cultivation resources and can cultivate with peace of mind, surely reaching a very high realm.

The prompt appeared very quickly. At the age of three hundred, Yong Sheng successfully achieved Nirvana. During this period, he repeatedly encountered misfortune and backlash, and each time the Heavenly Buddha intervened.

Because he had been cultivating under the Bodhi tree and had never faced a choice regarding immortality, Gu An could only watch.

Time passes quickly in the cycle of reincarnation.

In the blink of an eye, Immortality has reached the age of nine thousand.

[When you were nine thousand years old, you comprehended the Bodhi Tree and understood Buddhism and Taoism. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged towards you, causing extraordinary phenomena in heaven and earth, attracting the attention of the Heavenly Buddha and other Buddhas. You successfully refined the Bodhi Golden Body, and your talent shocked Mount Ling.] In Gu An's view, Mount Ling must have hidden a Taiqing Golden Immortal. Such a powerful force could still be shocked by the Bodhi Golden Body, so it seems that the Bodhi Golden Body is not simple.

At the age of nine thousand one hundred, you attained enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree. Suddenly, the Black Emperor attacked. Just as he was about to touch you, the Heavenly Buddha appeared and annihilated him. You inquired about the Black Emperor's origins, but after divination, the Heavenly Buddha said he could not fathom it and then departed. You always felt that the Black Emperor had some kind of connection with you, and you began to comprehend the Dao of Cause and Effect.

At the age of 9,234, you entered the Realm of Wandering Immortals. After breaking through, you felt the connection between yourself and the Immortal Emperor's Eye. You were able to track down the Immortal Emperor's Eye and think about your childhood experiences. If the Immortal Emperor's Eye had not been stolen and you had not been cursed, your parents would not have died. You found the Heavenly Buddha and expressed your desire for revenge, but the Heavenly Buddha did not allow it. The Heavenly Buddha told you to reach the Dao Fruit Realm before leaving Mount Ling.

Seeing that Tianfo had stopped Yongsheng, Gu An breathed a sigh of relief.

A mere wandering immortal dares to seek revenge?

Further on, there were still various prompts for cultivation.

Shen Zhen, who was sitting in front of the cauldron, noticed that Gu An was not reading but was lost in thought. She couldn't help but ask, "Gu An, did you just break through?"

Gu An glanced at her and asked, "Do you think I can easily break through my current level? I've just gained new insights into the Great Dao."

He also hides things from those around him, but these are white lies. The methods of cultivating immortality are incredibly diverse, and even if those around him don't mean to, they might still leak his information.

Shen Zhen asked, "When I was observing the scene inside the cauldron just now, I saw a golden Buddha being tempered by flames. What do you think this signifies?"

Golden Buddha?

Gu An felt curious. His reincarnated body had just refined the Bodhi Golden Body, and Shen Zhen had seen the Golden Buddha. There was clearly some connection between them.

“Continue to feel it. When you can no longer see it, tell me in detail,” Gu An said thoughtfully.

Shen Zhen nodded, then looked back at the cauldron.

Gu An continued to pay attention to the reincarnation prompts.

At the age of 57,046, you successfully transcended the tribulation and became a True Immortal of Divine Thought.

At the age of 57,389, you mastered the Great Heavenly Thunder Mantra. The Heavenly Buddha was deeply pleased and bestowed upon you the most precious treasure of Mount Ling, the Red Dust Buddhist Beads.

……

At the age of 68,507, you successfully transcended the tribulation and became a Free Immortal. You awakened the divine power of the Immortal Emperor's Eye, and you desperately wished to reclaim it.

At the age of 89,002, you successfully transcended your tribulation and became a Daoist Immortal of Freedom. You then began to consolidate your cultivation.

When you were ninety thousand years old, the Heavenly Buddha agreed to let you leave Mount Ling. Before you left, he gave you a task: to return to the Misty Immortal Court and take on a disciple. He said the Misty Immortal Court would definitely agree. You left Mount Ling with doubts.

At the age of 91,34, you encounter a group of cultivators who have ascended to the Yellow Heaven. They are being tormented by evil spirits, and you help them. After learning that you are heading in the same direction as them, the group of cultivators decide to travel with you.

Seeing that someone was following him, Gu An knew that something bad was about to happen!

Afterwards, Gu An frequently encountered troubles, but he never had the opportunity to choose, perhaps because these troubles did not pose a threat to immortality.

At the age of 9152, you entered a cosmic realm. Suddenly, the Great Dao True Fire surged forth from this universe, engulfing you from all directions. Unable to escape the universe, you could only resist with your own magical power. The Great Dao True Fire grew stronger and stronger, and people were constantly annihilated. You used the Red Dust Buddhist Beads to protect the survivors, while you yourself used the Bodhi Golden Body to withstand the attack.

At the age of 9153, your Mortal World Buddhist Beads were refined, and all the cultivators under your protection were also refined. Only you remained, relying on your Bodhi Golden Body to barely hold on. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the depths of darkness. This person called himself the Xuanmo Emperor. You sensed the presence of the Immortal Emperor's Eye from the Xuanmo Emperor and knew that he was the one who had taken your eye. Thinking of the tragic deaths of your parents, you attacked in a fit of rage.

[Due to the vast difference in cultivation levels, you were no match for the Xuanmo Emperor. Just as the Xuanmo Emperor was about to kill you, a golden palm shattered the universe and repelled the Xuanmo Emperor. You turned around and recognized it as the hand of your master, Tianfo. No matter how you called out to Tianfo, he did not respond. You had no choice but to leave this shattered universe.]
