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

Chapter 591 The Origin of the White Spirit Sword
Gu An recalled the life of the Eternal Emperor and confirmed that he had indeed had a relationship with Fairy Yao Xuan. Given their cultivation levels, whether or not she became pregnant depended on their own wishes.

He felt that Sin was very likely the child of the Eternal Emperor. It was because of this that he felt that he had some kind of causal relationship with Sin. As his cultivation level broke through, this feeling became even stronger.

He continued to gaze at Sin, whose hand pressed against his index finger, weeping softly.

Sin seemed oblivious to the force drilling into his body; he was only focused on venting his emotions.

Gu An wondered if breaking through lifespan limits would allow him to teleport people out.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, he received the answer.

No.

This answer appeared inexplicably in his mind; it must be his response to the breakthrough in his lifespan.

Having found the answer, he dared not act rashly.

The Heavenly Tomb of Despair is no ordinary place; this area is like a sealed land, making it impossible to jump out directly.

As time passed, Sin stopped crying. He leaned against the wall, slowly closed his eyes, and seemed to fall into a deep sleep.

Gu An began to deduce the fate of the sinner, but as before, he could not predict anything. He then looked at the thousand-foot index finger and continued to deduce.

"what?"

Gu An suddenly exclaimed in surprise, his expression turning serious.

This thousand-foot-long index finger will eventually break out of the Heavenly Tomb of Despair and descend upon the vast world, bringing calamity to all realms.

Gu An witnessed countless beings falling into evil, and he saw a dark force swallowing up parts of the world.

He stopped his deductions, his brow furrowed.

This index finger belongs to Fairy Yaoxuan. With it, Gu An might be able to find Fairy Yaoxuan in the future.

But it would bring irreparable calamity to all living beings, which means Gu An cannot take it out.

After much deliberation, Gu An decided to temporarily set aside matters concerning Qianzhang Shizhi and the crime.

To prevent himself from wavering, Gu An chose to teleport back.

This teleportation cost him another 10 billion years of his lifespan.

However, he has now reached the peak of the Great Luo Immortal Realm, and just crossing a small realm has made his strength advance by leaps and bounds.

When he returned to the Heavenly Spirit World, he opened his eyes. The surrounding environment had not changed, but he felt that the Heavenly Spirit World had become weaker and more fragile. He could shatter this great world with a single thought.

He walked in one direction, intending to enjoy the scenery and return only after Xiao Lan had fully stabilized her cultivation.

The path of cultivation is like a river, with countless cultivators sailing on it. Some are faster, some catch up, and some capsize and fall to the bottom of the river.

Gu An looked down upon the myriad beings of the Heavenly Spirit World and experienced the various aspects of life. This process helped him to understand the essence of heaven and earth.

The birth of heaven and earth was not difficult for him, but the operation of the rules of heaven and earth contained a deeper meaning of the Dao.

The universe is countless, but the rules governing its operation are mostly similar.

Perhaps, in the darkness, there is a more transcendent force supporting all things.

Gu An thought of the mysterious aura of the Great Dao on the thousand-foot index finger.

What kind of great path is it, and why is it so strange?
……

After breaking through to the Immortal Realm, Xiao Lan was extremely excited and dragged Gu An to visit Master Su and other fellow disciples.

Although Master Su and the other wandering immortal masters had long known that this day would come, they did not expect it to come so soon.

When Xiao Lan was still in the Qi Refining Realm, Su Zhenren was already in the Immortal Wandering Realm.

When Xiao Lan arrived at the Immortal Realm, Master Su was still there...

Even though the master and disciple had a very good relationship, Su Zhenren still felt a little uncomfortable, but she kept her emotions in check.

Gu An stood aside as a spectator, watching these people congratulate Xiao Lan, but inwardly he lamented the unfairness of fate; he found it quite amusing. Afterwards, Xiao Lan wanted to return to Xiao Manor for a visit, and Master Su had no objections. Xiao Lan now possessed the cultivation to stand on her own, and after giving her a few words of advice, she watched Xiao Lan and her companion depart.

A middle-aged female cultivator sighed, "Even after achieving the status of a wandering immortal, she still treats that boy Gu An like a treasure. I really don't know what kind of bewitching potion Gu An has given her."

Before Xiao Lan entered the realm of the Loose Immortal, they were all worried that Gu An would be a burden to her.

Now, they can only marvel at Xiao Lan's deep affection for Gu An; such feelings are rare.

If they can maintain this, it would be a wonderful story.

On the way back, Xiao Lan was still traveling through the clouds. She was a little uneasy, as the excitement of her breakthrough was replaced by the nervousness of returning home.

Ten thousand years have passed, and she already knows that her parents have long since passed away. She fears that Xiao Zhuang is no longer there, and that the descendants of the Xiao family have forgotten her.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I've heard that geniuses have their own kind of luck. This luck is invisible and intangible, but it can protect those around them," Gu An comforted him.

Xiao Lan looked at Gu An and asked curiously, "Brother Gu, don't you have any regrets?"

From childhood to adulthood, Gu An had always been by her side. She had never seen Gu An sad or frustrated, or even angry.

He always remained gentle and cheerful, and you could not see a trace of negative emotions in him.

Looking back now, Gu Anhao seems unreal.

Xiao Lan's curiosity grew stronger, as if she wanted to see through Gu An.

“Of course there are regrets. I’ve been through everything you’ve been through. Once you’ve experienced it, you can let go of it and not be so sad,” Gu An replied.

Xiao Lan was even more confused and asked, "You're only twenty years older than me, how come you talk as if you're tens of thousands of years older than me?"

Gu An smiled and said, "In my dreams, I experienced more than you did."

"real or fake?"

"Lan'er, have you ever thought about your goal of cultivating immortality?"

“I really do.”

"tell me the story."

"I want to be the master of the Dao Court."

Xiao Lan smiled smugly, and Gu An was somewhat dazed upon seeing her smile.

Ye Lan has a penchant for pursuing power; it seems some things are beyond the reach of reincarnation.

Pursuing power is not a bad thing; one must have goals in life.

"I hope to see you succeed in my lifetime," Gu An said sincerely, making Xiao Lan feel the pressure.

Yes, her future is bright, but Gu An's is not.

Xiao Lan was afraid that Gu An would be upset, so she began to change the subject.

The prodigies of the Primordial Era were far stronger than those of the previous era, and their path to fame was naturally more difficult. Xiao Lan's reputation had already spread within the Dao Court, but she was still an unknown figure in the wider world.

She was preparing to go out and gain experience, to compete for treasures, and to punish evil and uphold justice, just like the immortals in the book.

She was just a little worried about Gu An.

Gu Anze told her that she could go without worry, and that he would wait for her in the cave, which relieved her.

The journey of training and vying for treasures will inevitably involve battles, and she dared not guarantee that she could protect Gu An. However, she was also afraid that Gu An would overthink things, so she hesitated.

"By the way, Brother Gu, what is the origin of this White Spirit Sword?" Xiao Lan asked curiously.

She had already discovered the uniqueness of the White Spirit Sword.

Gu An replied, "The person who gave me this sword said that it was given to her by an immortal. I didn't believe it before, until I followed you on the path of cultivation. Its origin is something you need to find out; I don't have the ability to do it."
