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

Chapter 584 A New Cycle
Seeing that Ji Xiaoyu did not answer and was just staring blankly ahead, the Sun and Moon Underworld Emperor could roughly guess what she was thinking and said softly, "The one who annihilated the forces outside the realm earlier should be him. Since he is still here, perhaps we can better integrate into the Heavenly Spirit Great World. Why are you so stubborn?"

He knew the pride in the Reincarnation Dao Emperor's bones, and he had supported her before.

but now……

Gu An is just too strong!

So powerful that even the Sun, Moon, and Underworld Emperors felt it would be a waste not to cling to their coattails.

No matter how you look at it, meeting Gu An was the greatest opportunity for the Reincarnation Dao Emperor and the entire Yin Yang Immortal Realm.

Ji Xiaoyu still did not answer. Seeing this, the Sun and Moon Underworld Emperor could only sigh and turn to leave.

He had just turned around when Ji Xiaoyu's voice drifted over: "Tell them that I agree as well."

Upon hearing this, the Sun and Moon Emperor turned to look at Ji Xiaoyu with delight, bowed again, and immediately disappeared from the spot.

Ji Xiaoyu gazed into the distance, muttering to herself, "When will I be able to catch up with you?"

No one answered her, and she didn't need an answer.

Her thoughts drifted away, drifting back to many years ago.

At that time, Gu An was still young, but his eyes were different from those of the other children in the mansion.

……

The years are long.

A thousand years can pass in the blink of an eye.

The War Court's relics officially ushered in a golden age in the mortal realm. The first War Court treasure was unearthed, sparking a fierce battle among many powerful figures. Fortunately, more treasures soon appeared, making the fighting less brutal.

All the sects in the human world began to pursue treasures. The number of treasures left by the War Court was more than the number of cultivators in the human world. After all, the Great Thousand World had just been reshaped, and the human race was not yet enough to cover the entire world.

The Qiankun Sect also joined this trend, and An Xin frequently brought news back to the dojo, causing others to get excited. However, Gu An forbade them to go out.

Gu An's attitude calmed them down, which showed that he didn't care about the treasures outside.

After reaching the Great Luo Immortal Realm, Gu An's Dao intent became stronger, allowing the disciples in the Daoist temple to gain even more insights.

The Great Sage of Blood Prison has already broken through to the Immortal Realm. His talent is not bad. Before Nirvana, his lifespan was 9,999 years. Only Tian Yao'er in the dojo is qualified to compare his talent with his.

Over the course of a thousand years, the Yin-Yang Immortal Realm descended upon the Heavenly Spirit Great World. Gu An witnessed the Dao Court negotiating with it, and they eventually reached some kind of agreement, allocating a piece of land on the edge of the Great World for the Yin-Yang Immortal Realm to settle in.

After returning to the Heavenly Spirit Great World, Ji Xiaoyu did not visit the Tai Xuan Sect, nor did she establish any relationship with the Ji family.

Gu An could hear Ji Xiaoyu's thoughts. She often thought of him, but deep down she had a strong competitive spirit and wanted to stand on equal footing with Gu An.

Gu An could only respect this.

He couldn't let everything in the world develop according to his own wishes, and Ji Xiaoyu's idea actually made him look forward to it.

He has protected many people, and it is rare for someone not to want to rely on him, which he finds astonishing.

Third Miss, keep up the good work!

No matter how hard you try, you can never catch up with me!
Gu An thought smugly, his gaze fixed on the distant sky, where there was a barrier, and inside the barrier, Lü Xian and Chen Chuan were sparring again.

Despite their millennia-long battle of wits, the two would always spar privately. They had an excellent relationship, so Gu An didn't stop them.

In his previous life, Xiao Chuan was just a low-level member of the Tai Xuan Sect. Lü Xian was the sect's number one genius whom he looked up to and envied. Now, the two have become the best of brothers. It is truly a twist of fate.

No, it should be said that fate is wonderful and inexplicable.

Gu An looked for a while, then turned his gaze to another direction.

Xiao Chuan and Lu Jiujia have already been reincarnated into the Heavenly Spirit World, and Ye Lan will be soon too.

Ye Lan has the Death Seal on her body, and Gu An can sense that Ye Lan is moving forward in the Great Dao of Reincarnation, getting closer and closer to the Heavenly Spirit Great World.

Reincarnation is complex. One may be reborn into another world, but the world of one's birth will have a certain attraction for the reincarnated person, causing them to always return to their original world.

Gu An looked at Ye Lan's soul from afar and saw her seventeen previous lives.

Because she cultivated the Innate Reincarnation Technique, Ye Lan would awaken her past life memories in each life. She would continue to cultivate the Innate Reincarnation Technique and accumulate cultivation, making her aptitude higher and higher in each life.

Perhaps because of her memories of her past life, she died alone in every life and never married. But each time she was on her deathbed, she was very happy and felt that she would meet Gu An in the next life.

She died with hope and was reborn with confusion; this was her cycle.

Gu An was deeply moved by Ye Lan's past life experiences.

This silly girl...

In any case, Ye Lan is finally back.

Gu An had already deduced where she would be reincarnated. He stood up, gave An Xin a few words of advice, and then disappeared from the spot.

He arrived on a vast continent, larger than the Taicang Continent, dotted with numerous dynasties and countless religious sects.

It's worth mentioning that this place belongs to the Dao Court. Gu An appeared in the mountains and forests, walking in one direction, having already deduced Ye Lan's fate in this life along the way.

Through seventeen lifetimes of accumulation, the Innate Reincarnation Technique endowed Ye Lan with extraordinary talent, which destined her to have an extraordinary life and to create a karmic connection with the Daoist Court.

Gu An wasn't afraid of trouble; he decided that Ye Lan would live a smooth and happy life without experiencing any hardship.

Thinking of the Dao Court, Gu An also thought of Lu Han, his previous reincarnation. In Lu Han's life, he had also had grudges with the Dao Court.

Of course, these two Taoist temples are not the same.

In this vast world, there are quite a few forces that use the name "Dao Court".

Regardless of which Taoist sect it is, the fact that it uses the name of Tao is enough to prove its ambition.

After walking for a while, Gu An saw a mountain villa. There were cultivators in the villa, but they were only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Because they had no hope of becoming immortals, they stayed away from the secular world and lived an ordinary life.

Gu An's demeanor suddenly softened, all his magical treasures disappeared, and he changed into simple black clothes, with the Qinghong Sword and Bailing Sword hanging at his waist. Although his face did not change, he instantly transformed from an immortal into a mortal, like a chivalrous knight-errant.

He arrived at the gate of the villa and knocked on the door.

After a dozen or so breaths, someone finally opened the door. The person who opened the door was a young servant. He cautiously looked Gu An up and down and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Gu An smiled and said, "My name is Gu An. I travel the world and would like to stay here for a few days. Could you please pass on my message? I won't eat or stay for free."

The young servant initially wanted to refuse, but after hearing Gu An's next words, he hesitated for a moment and said, "You wait here!"

Bang!

The door closed again.

A dignified immortal was locked out by mortals.

Gu An found it amusing and felt no offense whatsoever, after all, this villa would be Ye Lan's home in the future.

After a long while, the door opened, and Gu An was ushered inside.

Sunlight streamed down, shining on the adjacent courtyard wall, where green shoots gradually sprouted from the cracks in the wall, growing faster and faster.

Eighteen years have passed since the entire courtyard wall was overgrown with weeds and vines.

The door opened, and a girl in yellow walked out quickly, followed by Gu An.

The girl in yellow looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old, with delicate features and a lively figure. Her long hair was tied into two braids and draped over her shoulders. After walking down the steps, she turned to look at Gu An.

"Brother Gu, where should we go to play today? I heard there are monsters around here, why don't we go catch them?"

The girl in yellow asked expectantly, her face beaming with a youthful smile as radiant as the rising sun.

Gu An looked at her and threw a lifespan probe at her.

[Xiao Lan (Qi Refining Realm Level 3): 17/160/9999]

The maximum lifespan has finally increased to 9,999 years!

Xiao Lan was born with a lifespan of seven thousand years. Over the years, Gu An used his own Dao intent to help her comprehend the Dao in her dreams, until today.

Everything was such a coincidence.

Today, Xiao Lan is about to experience a turning point in her life.

Gu An smiled, which made Xiao Lan blush.

She glared at Gu An and asked, "Brother Gu, why aren't you saying anything? Are you thinking..."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly realized something and turned around abruptly.

Looking along the mountain path, a woman in white came out of the forest. Her face was beautiful and aloof. She carried a long zither on her back and looked like a fairy walking in the forest. Xiao Lan, who had lived in the surrounding area for hundreds of miles since childhood, was stunned by her beauty.

The woman in white's gaze fell on Xiao Lan, her eyes calm, but this calmness lasted only two breaths before her pupils suddenly dilated. Then, as if teleporting, she appeared in front of Xiao Lan and grabbed Xiao Lan's right wrist.

"what are you doing?"

Xiao Lan cried out in alarm, trying to shake off the white-clad woman's hand, but she couldn't.

The woman in white stared intently at her, muttering to herself, "Such natural talent... is unparalleled in the world..."

Gu An did not make a move, but watched the scene with a smile.

This woman possesses the cultivation level of a wandering immortal. She will be Xiao Lan's first master, leading Xiao Lan onto the path of cultivation.

Gu An suddenly felt very gratified.

The world has changed dramatically, and the landscape has taken on a completely different appearance.

Fortunately, the sun, moon, and stars are still there, and she is right before my eyes.
