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

Chapter 590 Breakthrough to the Perfected Great Luo Immortal Realm

The path to immortality is long and fraught with obstacles. As the ancients said, "A dream of immortality lasts three thousand years," a saying that has been proven true in the current world of Tianling.

After entering the Nirvana Realm, the time scale of cultivators begins to lengthen. A hundred years is like a day, and a thousand years is like a dream. For cultivators of the immortal path, the higher their talent, the faster time passes.

After becoming a disciple of the main lineage of the Daoist Temple, Xiao Lan secluded herself for a long time.

At first, she was worried about Gu An, fearing that he might die while she was in seclusion. Fortunately, although Gu An stumbled along the way, he always managed to break through. After Gu An successfully achieved Nirvana, she was completely relieved and began to focus on her seclusion cultivation.

Ten thousand years pass in the blink of an eye. Although the human world has undergone tremendous changes, the cultivation world has not changed much.

That year, Xiao Lan had a breakthrough opportunity. With the support of a great cultivator from the main lineage, she successfully entered the Immortal Realm. Gu An watched from afar.

He marveled at the differences of the new era. Reaching the Immortal Realm was extremely rare in the previous era, but in the new era, such geniuses are quite common.

Blood Prison Great Sage and An Xin reached the Heaven and Earth Immortal Realm one after the other.

The Dao Treasure greatly aided their cultivation, and coupled with the abundant spiritual energy of the Wushi Dao Temple, which contained the true meaning of the Great Dao, their cultivation speed increased rapidly.

An Xin, in particular, seems to be transforming into An Hao.

Although Gu An felt he had contributed a lot to his disciples' progress, he still felt quite emotional when he thought back to the past.

"It's time for me to break through to the next minor realm."

Gu An watched as Xiao Lan consolidated her cultivation on the horizon and made a decision in his heart.

He originally wanted to rely on his own enlightenment to break through, but the time required for a Grand Immortal to break through a minor realm was far beyond his imagination.

After thinking it over, Gu An switched to his clone, while his main body jumped out of the small world.

The strongest cultivator among those supporting Xiao Lan had reached the Dao Void Profound Immortal Realm. This person did not sense anything unusual and was still focused on watching Xiao Lan.

Gu An's true form arrived at a forest in the human world, where he directly used his lifespan breakthrough technique.

Nine options appeared before him again, most of the place names having appeared before.

Gu An's gaze fell on the Heavenly Tomb of Despair.

The sins within the Heavenly Tomb of Despair have a mysterious causal relationship with him. He originally thought he could find out through the cycle of lifespan, but he didn't.

Let's go take another look.

Now that he's at a higher level, perhaps he can understand it.

Gu An immediately chose to be teleported to the Heavenly Tomb of Despair, a journey that would consume 10 billion years of his lifespan.

After a while, Gu An opened his eyes and immediately activated the Life Barrier.

What comes into view is the desolate scene of the Heavenly Tomb of Despair, with one after another dilapidated and enormous buildings appearing in front of you, stretching all the way to the ends of the earth.

The enormous palace where the sin resided was far away from him, but he could easily see its condition.

The towering gate remained ajar, revealing utter darkness within, like a gateway to hell.

Gu An didn't keep staring at the palace; he brought up his attribute panel.

Name: Gu An

Lifespan: 34, 362/487, 609, ​​219, 005

[Physique: Primordial Reincarnation Undying Body]

[Cultivation Level: Late Stage of the Great Luo Immortal Realm]

……

He directly invested his lifespan into his cultivation, investing it in units of 10 billion years each time.

A series of notifications kept popping up, but Gu An, who possessed a lifespan of 480 billion years, paid no attention to the failure prompts.

Ultimately, he spent 110 billion years of his lifespan to successfully reach the peak of the Great Luo Immortal Realm. Now, it all depends on the consumption of the lifespan barrier.

A surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted from the ground, and almost instantly, Gu An was enveloped in the golden light of the Great Dao.

The spiritual energy of the Great Dao in the entire Heavenly Tomb of Despair showed unusual activity, and even the rules of the Great Dao were trembling.

Now he is a celestial being who has created the heavens, and the commotion he creates far surpasses that before. More and more ancient buildings begin to tremble, and yellow sand is stirred up from the ground, surging as if it has a spirit, like a yellow cloth rising up.

Since it was a breakthrough to a minor realm, Gu An didn't need to focus entirely on the breakthrough. He diverted his attention to the enormous palace where the sin was located.

Time passes minute by minute.

Gu An should be able to break through in half an hour at most, but half the time has passed and Zui still hasn't appeared.

Has something gone wrong?
Gu An thought to himself silently.

Even after he successfully broke through, the sin still hadn't left that enormous palace.

The lifespan barrier consumed nearly 50 billion years of lifespan, which made Gu An feel a little pained.

The higher the cultivation level, the greater the consumption of the lifespan barrier. For safety, he activates the lifespan barrier every time he breaks through. The reason for this is that Gu An likes to spy on others. If he can spy on those of lower cultivation levels without being discovered, then there must be beings stronger than him who also like to spy on those weaker than themselves.

The purpose of the lifespan barrier is to prevent him from being spied on as he grows stronger. This is extremely important. Gu An's ability to reach this point is unbelievable to those powerful enemies who died at his hands, and the lifespan barrier plays a crucial role in this.

Gu An felt it was a pity that he hadn't been able to see Zui.

Although the Heavenly Tomb in the Desolate Realm was experiencing a series of strange occurrences, there was no sign of any living beings, not even ghosts or evil spirits.

Once Gu An's cultivation had stabilized, he stood up.

Before leaving, he covered the entire Heavenly Tomb of Despair with his divine sense.

Since it's a tomb, something must be buried here.

The enormous palace where the sin resided was not the most mysterious. Gu An saw a deep hole at the center of heaven and earth, with a diameter of over a thousand miles, its bottom unseen, and a special aura of the Great Dao surging within it.

This was the first time Gu An, who had already begun to comprehend different Daos, had ever encountered such an aura of the Dao.

It was eerie, ominous, and chilling.

Even Gu An, who was at the peak of the Great Luo Immortal Realm, had a gut feeling that he should not be tainted by this Great Dao.

He was about to teleport back when he suddenly sensed movement.

Something was rushing towards the surface from the deep cave. As it rose, an invisible and intangible aura of the Great Dao surged forth, like an unstoppable eruption of fire from the earth's core.

The earth began to tremble violently!
Gu An wasn't flustered. He wouldn't be detected while standing inside the lifespan barrier, but he was still prepared to teleport away as soon as possible.

Boom!
The yellow sand suddenly swirled upwards, and Gu An saw the clouds on the horizon disperse. Something burst out of the deep hole, trying to break through the sky, but when it reached a certain height, it was blocked by an invisible barrier.

Gu An squinted and saw that it was actually an index finger, dark red all over, with a sharp tip like a knife. The entire index finger was thousands of feet long and exuded a terrifying aura.

The aura displayed by this index finger is no less than that of an early-stage Taiqing Golden Immortal, but the Dao aura surrounding it is even more terrifying.

After being stopped, the index finger fell down, eventually collapsing a dilapidated temple and raising a cloud of dust.

Gu Anchao used his finger to probe the lifespan of the creature, but found nothing, indicating that the creature was not alive.

He turned his head to look in another direction.

A faint aura emanated from the enormous palace where the sin resided, and soon, a figure peeked out from the crack in the door.

罪！
He still looked to be only ten years old, unchanged from the last time Gu An saw him.

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

The age remains zero, and the lifespan and life limit remain unchanged.

Gu An became even more curious: what exactly was going on?
Under his gaze, Zui took a deep breath, as if to encourage himself, and then ran toward the direction where the thousand-foot index finger had fallen.

This little guy is incredibly fast, covering a hundred miles in a single step, as if he's flashing by.

Before long, he arrived near the Thousand-Foot Index Finger. He slowed his pace and approached cautiously.

When he arrived in front of the thousand-foot index finger, it was as if he were facing a giant mountain. He reached out and touched the thousand-foot index finger.

"Ok?"

Gu An frowned and subconsciously looked down at his right index finger.

He actually felt someone touch his index finger.

His cultivation level is so high that it's impossible for him to have any illusions.

Could that thousand-foot-long index finger be his finger?
Zui touched his thousand-foot index finger, his eyes reddening. He mumbled something, not in the language of the Heavenly Spirit World.

As his tears fell onto his thousand-foot index finger, the eerie aura of the Great Dao emanating from that finger surged toward him, seemingly trying to transform him into another kind of being.

Gu An frowned.

He felt a strong sense of cause and effect.

Those aren't his fingers!
It is the finger of an old friend, but not his old friend, but an old friend in reincarnation.

It was the Fairy Yaoxuan he had met in his previous life cycle.

In order to save the reincarnated body of the Eternal Emperor, Fairy Yaoxuan fell into the Great Dao, never to be reborn, and even her cause and effect would be difficult to trace.

If the Eternal Emperor hadn't used the power of the Great Cause and Effect Stele, he wouldn't have been able to detect even a trace of Yao Xuan Fairy's cause and effect.

The Eternal Emperor used the Great Cause and Effect Stele to transfer Fairy Yaoxuan's cause and effect to Shen Zhen, and through Shen Zhen, he established a cause and effect relationship between Gu An, the original body, and Fairy Yaoxuan.

This process is very complex and cannot be captured by the naked eye, but it does exist.

As Gu An's relationship with Shen Zhen deepens, his sense of karma with Fairy Yao Xuan will also intensify.

He became increasingly certain that the thousand-foot-long index finger was indeed Fairy Yaoxuan's index finger. If so, what was the connection between the crime and Fairy Yaoxuan?
Is it possible...
