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

Chapter 568 Stealing from the Celestial Immortal Sect, the Eternal Emperor
Seeing Tianfo make a move, Gu An suddenly thought of Yang Xian's master, the Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Ancestor.

Even in the most difficult of lives, there are always some people who can illuminate your path and bring you hope and warmth.

The prompts continued. Unable to defeat the Xuanmo Emperor, Yongsheng temporarily abandoned his idea of ​​finding the Immortal Emperor's Eye and began his journey to the Misty Immortal Court to complete the task assigned by the Heavenly Buddha.

At the age of 91,810, you returned to the Misty Immortal Court and the Golden Wave Immortal Mansion. You were seen by the Mansion Master and learned of your parents' deaths. Your clansmen were heartbroken and began to comfort you. You revealed the task entrusted to you by the Heavenly Buddha. The Mansion Master did not refuse but instead warmly led you to the Misty Immortal Palace. On the way, you learned of the relationship between Mount Ling and the Misty Immortal Court. The current Lord of the Misty Immortal Court and the Heavenly Buddha were close friends. The Heavenly Buddha had previously sent disciples to the Misty Immortal Court for cultivation, and now he was recruiting disciples from the Misty Immortal Court to cultivate at Mount Ling.

[You meet the Misty Dao Emperor, and you feel that this person is as unfathomable as the Heavenly Buddha. After some deliberation, you accept Yao Xuan, a genius from the Misty Immortal Court, as your disciple. You take Yao Xuan away from the Misty Immortal Court and head to Mount Ling.]

At the age of 91,820, you brought Yaoxuan to the Path of the Great Dao, where you discovered a spiritual lake and decided to seek enlightenment there.

Seeing Yong Sheng with Yao Xuan, Gu An had a bad feeling.

He always felt that Yao Xuan would die, and that this would stimulate immortality.

Fortunately, things did not go as he had expected.

Decades later, the two successfully returned to Lingshan, without giving Gu An a choice throughout the process.

However, in the same year that she joined Lingshan, Yaoxuan expressed her love to Yongsheng. Unlike Yongsheng, who became a disciple of Lingshan, Yaoxuan only came to Lingshan to cultivate. After leaving Lingshan, she would return to being a disciple of the Misty Immortal Court. Therefore, the rules of Lingshan could not restrict her.

This time, Gu An had the opportunity to make a choice.

Gu An carefully recalled his previous experiences and confirmed that Yong Sheng had not developed feelings for Yao Xuan, so he rejected Yao Xuan's affections.

You rejected Yao Xuan's affections. Yao Xuan wasn't angry or sad; instead, she smiled and said she would shatter your Buddhist heart sooner or later. After Yao Xuan left, you looked at the Bodhi tree again and questioned your own heart.

Then came another period of cultivation.

Even without the ability to steal lifespan, the speed of cultivating immortality is still very fast.

Although there were no further choices or difficulties, Gu An watched with great interest.

At the age of 300,000, he achieved immortality and became the Xuan Yuan Zi Zai Immortal.

At the age of one million, he attained the status of a free and unfettered immortal in the heavens.

He was free from the cycle of reincarnation, relying solely on his cultivation under the Bodhi tree. Buddhas frequently visited him, praising his unparalleled talent.

When you are 1,004,236 years old, Fairy Yaoxuan comes to visit you. She says she is going to embark on the Great Dao Emperor Path to become a Great Dao Emperor. You also want to walk this path, so you choose to go with her.

At the age of one million four thousand two hundred and fifty, you and Fairy Yaoxuan descended upon the path of the Great Dao. Fairy Yaoxuan took out a magical treasure bestowed upon her by the Misty Immortal Court to pursue the destiny of the Great Dao. As you searched, you discussed the Dao, and you were surprised to find that Fairy Yaoxuan's cultivation was no weaker than yours.

At the age of one million four thousand three hundred and sixty-seven, you and Fairy Yaoxuan encountered an attack from Dao Pursuers from the Great World of Tai Shi. After a fierce battle, you discovered that you had gained a new kind of fortune, which gave you a deeper understanding of the Great Dao Emperor.

At the age of one million four thousand four hundred and five, Fairy Yaoxuan has defeated ten thousand cultivators who pursued the Great Dao Emperor, and she has become the Great Dao Emperor before you.

At the age of one million four thousand four hundred and twenty-three, you have defeated ten thousand Dao pursuers who are chasing the Great Dao Emperor. The Great Dao's fortune has gathered on you, and you have become a supreme Great Dao Emperor, achieving a leap in your cultivation.

At the age of one million four thousand five hundred and seventy-six, you and Fairy Yaoxuan unexpectedly encounter your master, Ancestor Xuan'e. You are overjoyed, but during your reminiscing, Ancestor Xuan'e suddenly attacks you. Fairy Yaoxuan helps you, and the two of you together are no match for Ancestor Xuan'e. Ancestor Xuan'e captures Fairy Yaoxuan and forces you to dissolve your Bodhi Golden Body, or he will annihilate Fairy Yaoxuan's soul. Will you choose to dissolve your Bodhi Golden Body?

The notification has finally arrived!

Ancestor Xuan'e was indeed up to no good. After all, this guy killed Yongsheng's father and sent Yongsheng to Mount Ling. He probably just wanted to use the power of Mount Ling to get rid of Yongsheng's misfortune.

Having known each other for so many years and having journeyed together on the path of the Great Dao, even without love, Fairy Yaoxuan must hold a very high place in Yongsheng's heart.

Just as Gu An was hesitating, he suddenly noticed that Shen Zhen's condition was a bit off.

Shen Zhen remained seated before the cauldron, but she was lost in a daze, her eyes vacant. She seemed to be having a nightmare, and Gu An could hear her inner thoughts.

Gu An's expression turned strange, and he felt it was absurd.

How could this be?

He realized that Shen Zhen's feelings perfectly mirrored the predicament Yao Xuan was facing. Could it be that Shen Zhen and Yao Xuan had a reincarnation connection?

Gu An thought about it and decided to take a gamble.

He's betting on the Heavenly Buddha to intervene!
Compared to Ancestor Xuan'e, Heavenly Buddha is the true master of eternal life.

[You chose to dismantle your Bodhi Golden Body. Watching you dismantle your Bodhi Golden Body, Fairy Yaoxuan was heartbroken. She actually broke through the suppression of Ancestor Xuan'e and severely injured him. The Great Dao's fortune on the Great Dao path surged wildly towards Fairy Yaoxuan. Powerful figures rushed over. Seeing that the situation was not right, Ancestor Xuan'e tried to escape, but Fairy Yaoxuan used her great supernatural powers to annihilate him, reducing him to ashes.]

Good heavens, Fairy Yaoxuan is so powerful?
[Because you dismantled your Bodhi Golden Body, your cultivation was disrupted, and your mind was confused. Before you lost consciousness, you saw Fairy Yaoxuan flying towards you.]

At the age of one million seven thousand three hundred and twenty-one, you finally awoke to find yourself in a dimly lit world with a campfire nearby. You were shocked to discover the figure of the Xuanmo Emperor. You instinctively wanted to attack him, but found that you had lost all your cultivation. The Xuanmo Emperor did not kill you, but instead explained to you why he had taken your Immortal Emperor Eye.

[It turns out that the Immortal Emperor's Eye is the most powerful divine ability in the Primordial Imperial Domain. Even if the possessor dies, the Immortal Emperor's Eye can be reincarnated. The previous body of your Immortal Emperor's Eye offended the Heavenly Court. Once the Immortal Emperor's Eye reached its full potential, the Heavenly Court would definitely notice. Therefore, the Xuanmo Emperor seized your Immortal Emperor's Eye to protect you. The misfortune on you was not inflicted by the Xuanmo Emperor, but left behind by your Immortal Emperor's Eye. When the previous body of the Immortal Emperor's Eye perished, it encountered an unfathomable causal curse, which even reincarnation cannot completely dispel.]

[After learning the truth, you fall into self-doubt, believing that your parents died because of you. At the same time, you learn that Ancestor Xuan'e also came from the Primordial Imperial Domain, so when he saw the traces of the Immortal Emperor's Eye on you, he became greedy. The Xuanmo Emperor hopes that you can inherit the power of the Immortal Emperor's Eye's predecessor, the Thief Emperor, reunite the Thief Immortal Sect, and rebel against the rule of the Heavenly Court. You are caught in a dilemma: should you choose to become the leader of the Thief Immortal Sect?]

How did we end up in Heaven again?

What role does the Heavenly Court play in the vast world of the Great Dao?
Gu An immediately made a choice to avoid direct confrontation.

[You refused to become the leader of the Immortal Thief Sect. The Demon Emperor Xuanmo was not angry. Instead, he returned the Immortal Emperor's Eye to you and told you that after saving you, Fairy Yaoxuan was backfired by the rules of the Great Dao and fell into the abyss of reincarnation, never to be reborn. You could no longer find her. You did not believe it and secretly vowed to find Fairy Yaoxuan.]

At the age of 1,016,351, you completely merged with the Immortal Emperor's Eye, using its domineering divine power to restore your Bodhi Golden Body and all your cultivation. Your cultivation even increased significantly. You began to explore the Three Thousand Great Worlds in search of Fairy Yaoxuan. The Xuanmo Emperor chose to follow you, and no matter how much you refused, you could never drive him away.

After that, the immortal began his adventures, with new place names constantly being unlocked in the hints.

During his adventures, Gu An inevitably encountered grudges and faced frequent choices, almost always involving life and death.

If he encounters someone who wants to kill him, Gu An will not hesitate to kill them even if they are defeated and beg for mercy.

If they encounter creatures in distress, Gu An will have Yong Sheng lend a hand if he can save them.

During this process, Gu An could sense that Yong Sheng's personality was being shaped.

This guy has a very strong personality at heart.

Later, Yong Sheng began to manipulate Xuan Mo Di to do things for him.

As he killed more and more enemies, his reputation for immortality spread far and wide. Later, someone discovered that his Immortal Emperor Eye came from the Heavenly Stealer, which made his reputation suddenly become evil. Mount Ling even sent people to capture him, wanting him to go back and wash away his cultivation and give up his Immortal Emperor Eye.

Yong Sheng was already fixated on his goal; he needed the power of the Immortal Emperor's Eye to find Fairy Yao Xuan. He didn't even give Gu An a chance to choose, directly rejecting the request from the Buddhist cultivators of Mount Ling. A battle broke out between the two sides, and Yong Sheng thus became enemies with Mount Ling.

"In the end, I still ended up on this path."

Gu An looked at the prompt and sighed inwardly.

At the same time, he was very curious about what kind of evil deeds the Heavenly Thief Emperor had committed that made even Mount Ling fear eternal life.

Therefore, it seems that the Heavenly Court's extermination of the Thief Emperor might not be due to the Heavenly Court committing evil, but rather the Heavenly Court eliminating evil.

Later on, people kept causing trouble for Yong Sheng. Some were driven by hatred, while others wanted to eliminate the power of the Heavenly Stealer in order to obtain the Heavenly Fortune. Mount Ling did not give up either, and kept sending Buddhas to cause trouble, which resulted in Yong Sheng and the Xuanmo Emperor being seriously injured.

In the course of constant battles, he became known as the Eternal Emperor. Many cultivators, upon hearing his name, would flee in terror and dare not associate with him.

Gu An began to worry that as things escalated, the Heavenly Court would eventually be alerted, and even with his immortality, he might still die at the hands of the Heavenly Court.

At the age of 1,368,922, you and the Xuanmo Emperor entered the Taize Great World. You interfered with the rules of reincarnation and encountered resistance from the Taize Great World. You and the Xuanmo Emperor were trapped in a predicament. After a great battle, you captured the world lord of the Taize Great World and stepped into reincarnation again. The Taize Great World then ushered in a period of Yin-Yang chaos.

Gu An remembered the Great World of Taize. The Buddha and Immortals had sent the Lord of the Divine Realm to this Great World. The Great World of Taize was now vast and boundless, far surpassing the Great World of Tianling.

It is unknown whether the legend of immortality still exists in the present-day Taize Great World.
