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

Chapter 646 Gu An's Reincarnation

Surely the Heavenly Court would notice such a strange force sweeping across all the heavens and the world?

Gu An pondered silently. Although he didn't know exactly where the Heavenly Court was, as he came into more and more contact with the immortals and gods, he always felt that the immortals and gods were everywhere, and that the power of the Heavenly Court was domineering and disregarded the wishes of all living beings.

Gu An didn't pay much attention to the mysterious and strange power.

Even if it affects the Heavenly Spirit World, it is still a cultivation for all living beings, as long as it does not endanger him.

for a long time.

Only after the food had gone cold did Jiang Qiong finally shift her attention away from the array scroll.

She looked at Gu An and exclaimed, "Is this really a formation that humans can create? It's so vast and intricate. Judging from the described effects, it seems as terrifying as the rules of heaven and earth."

She felt that if this formation were leaked, it would surely cause a bloodbath, and she really wouldn't dare to accept it from someone else.

"It will take many years to master this skill. You should try to figure it out on your own first," Gu An said with a soft laugh.

What he provided was not just the formation; the Daoist principles contained within were enough for Jiang Qiong to comprehend for millions of years.

Jiang Qiong nodded and put the scroll into her storage ring. She looked at Gu An with her eyes full of affection and said with emotion, "I am finding it increasingly difficult to repay what you have given me. To be honest, it is quite stressful."

"Then give it back to me?" Gu An asked irritably. Didn't he know Jiang Qiong well?
This woman just wanted to take the opportunity to flirt with him!
Jiang Qiong said with a smile, "That won't do, since it's already been given away."

She then changed the subject and began to talk about things within the Juhua Sect. As the most senior person in the Juhua Sect, her tone was naturally that of an elder, making Gu An feel as if she were talking about family matters.

Gu An didn't find it boring at all; on the contrary, he listened with great interest and would occasionally ask a question.

Less than half an hour later.

“By the way, do you remember Lu Lingjun? She used to stay in your Third Medicine Valley. She was an Ascended One, and the Ascended Sect she founded is doing quite well; it has already established itself…” Jiang Qiong’s tone became cheerful when she mentioned Lu Lingjun, while at the same time, she was observing Gu An’s expression.

She remembered that a long time ago, An Xin had mentioned that Lu Lingjun wanted to take Gu An as his Daoist partner.

Since Gu An's true identity was exposed, Lu Lingjun seems to have lost contact with him. It's not that Gu An refuses to see her, but rather that she is afraid to see him.

Jiang Qiong had also dealt with Lu Lingjun over the years, and she felt that Lu Lingjun had an inherent arrogance in her bones. This woman seemed unable to accept that Gu An was such a powerful being.

However, Jiang Qiong suspected that the woman's survival to this day and the Ascension Sect's continued success were due to Gu An's secret assistance.

After she finished recounting Lu Lingjun's situation, she still couldn't discern anything amiss on Gu An's face.

Gu An seemed completely indifferent to Lu Lingjun.

Gu An smiled and said, "Indeed, chatting with you is quite interesting. I can't see these things in the Beginningless Realm."

Seeing that he wasn't interested in Lu Lingjun, Jiang Qiong couldn't help but ask, "Do you usually cultivate? Aren't you bored?"

She could never understand why Gu An wanted to leave Tai Xuan Sect. If he disliked Tai Xuan Sect, he could have stayed in another sect or city. Why hide in the deserted mountains? She could only think that Gu An did it for cultivation.

“My life is far more interesting than you think,” Gu An said smugly.

Jiang Qiong raised an eyebrow, looking incredulous.

Gu An laughed and said, "130,000 years is much slower for me than it is for you. Take the past hundred years for example, I served as a bodyguard for an emperor in the mortal realm for sixty years and assisted four emperors..."

He was telling the truth. For the past ten thousand years, he has enjoyed experiencing various human identities. Except when he is picking herbs, he always experiences them in his true form. Moreover, he does not use his magic power in any of his identities. He also gets injured and grows old.

Isn't this also a cycle of reincarnation?
Jiang Qiong never expected Gu An to do such a thing. The thought of a supreme being who could overturn the entire world fighting for power with mortals in the mortal realm felt both absurd and strangely interesting.

Why don't you give it a try?
Anyway, she doesn't need to personally manage the Juhua Sect anymore.

Next, Gu An started talking while Jiang Qiong listened. The more stories she heard, the more she felt that Gu An's actions were not just idle talk, but a form of spiritual practice.

...The sun was shining brightly, and the blue sky was cloudless.

Above the mountains, cultivators flew on their swords, as fast as the wind. The combined momentum was enormous, causing the surrounding forests to shake violently.

Amidst the crowd, two young men stood side by side, wielding swords.

One of the boys in black turned to his companion and asked excitedly, "Long Lin, what kind of monster do you think we'll encounter this time?"

The boy known as Long Lin was dressed in a fitted blue robe, and was more handsome than the boy in black, with an extraordinary air about him.

Long Lin looked ahead with a smile on his face and said, "I heard it's a great demon who has lived for ten thousand years, otherwise the sect wouldn't have sent so many disciples."

"A ten-thousand-year-old monster? How terrifying would that be?" The boy in black suddenly became worried.

Long Lin glanced at him and laughed, "Yang Nian, if you're scared, it's not too late to go back now."

Upon hearing this, the black-clad youth named Yang Nian's eyes widened immediately, and he said, "How could I be afraid! I'm just worried about the other disciples. If our Changyang Sect loses this battle, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Long Lin looked ahead and smiled without saying a word.

Not only them, but other Changyang Sect disciples around them were also discussing the upcoming battle.

The Changyang Sect has been established for thousands of years and can be considered a dominant force on the continent, but they have never dealt with a ten-thousand-year-old demon.

"By the way, Long Lin, I heard from my senior brother that your clansmen have found you? Is that true?" Yang Nian asked curiously.

He and Long Lin were orphans from a young age and were raised by an old man in the mountains. Later, by chance, they joined the Changyang Sect. Long Lin was found to have excellent spiritual roots, and he owes his success today to Long Lin's help.

He hadn't expected that Long Lin wasn't an orphan, and that there were still people of his clan searching for him. He felt both envious and happy for Long Lin.

"Well, they said my parents didn't abandon me, but died in a mission and had to leave me somewhere. The jade pendant my parents left me is actually a high-level magic artifact, which is why my clansmen were able to find me. They want me to go back, but I'm still considering it."

Long Lin replied calmly.

Yang Nian pressed further, "Is your family powerful? How does it compare to the Changyang Sect?"

"They must be very powerful. They have already persuaded the sect's higher-ups, who seem to have gained a lot of benefits and are trying their best to persuade me to go back."

Long Lin's answer made Yang Nian even more envious.

Why doesn't he have such a background?
Before he began cultivating immortality, he was the one protecting Long Lin, but since then, everything has been reversed, and now Long Lin is taking care of him.

Yang Nian was very grateful to Long Lin, but he couldn't help feeling jealous.

He felt that the heavens favored Long Lin, always bringing good things to Long Lin, while he was helpless and alone, and even with Long Lin's help, he always encountered trouble.

"If that's the case, what are you still considering?" Yang Nian asked with a forced smile, suppressing his jealousy.

"Let's think about how to fight next."

Long Lin did not answer Yang Nian; he changed the subject.

He hesitated because the Long family did not accept outsiders into the clan.

Over the years, he could sense the changes in Yang Nian's mindset and didn't want to use this matter to provoke Yang Nian.

only……

Thinking of what that clansman had said, a look of longing appeared in Long Lin's eyes.

I've heard that the Long family has an immortal, a transcendent being who surpasses even the Mahayana realm.
