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

Chapter 648 Five Trillion Years of Lifespan!

"Does the senior know who is fighting outside?"

Ji Xiaoyu noticed Yuan Songzi's expression and couldn't help but ask.

She appeared calm, but inside she was terrified. Just by sensing the fighting spirit of the two men from afar, she felt a chilling sense of impending annihilation.

Anyone who dares to fight so recklessly on the path of the Great Dao is an arrogant person, because the path of the Great Dao is full of dangers, and causing too much commotion will only bring trouble.

Her cooperation with the Dao Court was also in the hope that the Dao Court could help her open a barrier to prevent the aura of her battles with other prodigies from being leaked.

Yuan Songzi took a deep breath and said, "One of them comes from the Ascended Yellow Heaven and is named Zhou Jie. He has killed countless people and proved his Dao with killing intent. If he discovers our aura, we will all die."

These words startled everyone, and even Xiao Lan was unable to remain calm.

Ji Xiaoyu frowned. She knew that ascending to the Yellow Heaven was an extremely terrifying lineage, even involving reincarnation.

“However, Zhou Jie’s opponents are also very strong. Perhaps they will leave soon. There’s no need to panic. After all, the temple’s formation is also very sophisticated,” Yuan Songzi continued. These words eased the tension among the crowd slightly, but no one dared to let their guard down.

Xiao Lan looked at everyone, her heart filled with emotion.

These predecessors held a lofty position in the Heavenly Spirit Great World, wielding immense power over heaven and earth, able to decide the life and death of countless beings with a single thought. Yet, on the path of the Great Dao, they were as insignificant as dust, trembling with fear and acting with utmost caution.

Everyone held their breath and dared not speak, as if afraid that their voices would disturb the terrifying presence outside.

However, the oppressive force of battle grew closer and closer, as if the two sides were closing in on them, and even Yuan Songzi began to sweat.

Sudden.

The oppressive force of the battle surged into the distance and vanished in a very short time, making everyone even more tense.

for a long time.

More than half an hour passed before everyone relaxed, believing that the other party had left.

They surrounded Yuan Songzi, asking him about his origins in ascending to the Yellow Heaven.

Ji Xiaoyu looked at Xiao Lan with a complicated expression, seemingly lost in thought.

……

Time flies like an arrow, and time flies like an arrow.

As strange forces invade the Heavenly Spirit World, more and more creatures become violent, leading to increasing conflicts among humans.

All of this did not affect Gu An's life. He continued to enjoy his leisurely years, but he would spare some attention to those old friends, including those who were far away on the Great Road. If they encountered danger, he would also step in to protect them, but he would make it seem as if it was good luck for them.

Years pass by quickly.

Ten thousand years later, the veneer of peace has been completely shed in the human world, and all parts of the world are fighting. Even the Qiankun Sect is at war with the surrounding forces.

The boundless sky began to show wisps of clouds.

Gu An still did not take any action to change anything.

Another ten thousand years have passed.

It was late summer that year, just past noon.

Gu An walked through the woods and checked his attribute panel.

Name: Gu An

Lifespan: 445,492/31,076,970,562,704

[Physique: Primordial Reincarnation Undying Body]

[Cultivation Level: Perfected Great Luo Immortal Realm]

……

Five trillion years of lifespan!

He hesitated whether he should break through. The last breakthrough took more than 180 billion years of his lifespan, and he was afraid that 5 trillion years of lifespan would not be enough to break through to the perfect realm of the next major realm.

Gu An pondered, his pace unhurried, as if strolling leisurely, the breeze through the woods ruffling his robes.

Looking up, the sky peeking through the gaps in the leaves appeared dim, more like dusk than midday.

After walking for a while, Gu An stopped.

He stood by a small river, and a figure was kneeling on the opposite bank.

It was none other than Emperor Tianhong!
Emperor Tianhong has been kneeling here for over 50,000 years. He shows no signs of aging, his long beard has long since fallen to the ground, and his face appears clean. If it weren't for his knees being deeply embedded in the mud, one would never guess that he has been kneeling for so many years.

Even though he didn't cultivate by absorbing Qi, his cultivation still broke through to the Supreme Dao Void Profound Immortal Realm, all thanks to his enlightenment.

It is worth mentioning that his breakthrough did not involve undergoing a tribulation, and it did not cause any commotion.

"After kneeling for so many years, what is your biggest takeaway?"

Gu An's voice reached Emperor Tianhong's ears, causing him to suddenly open his eyes.

When he saw Gu An, he was completely dazed.

Although he had never met Gu An before, for some reason, the moment he saw Gu An, he felt that the other party was the Sword Master of the Dao.

Gu An's face was so perfect in his eyes. Although Gu An's temperament was not strong, he felt a kind of magnanimity that encompassed all things.

Emperor Tianhong originally thought that his Dao heart had been tempered and refined and that he would no longer experience strong emotional fluctuations, but at this moment, he could not suppress the excitement that burst forth from the bottom of his heart.

He trembled all over, unable to utter a single word.

Seeing Emperor Tianhong so excited, Gu An smiled gently, like a spring breeze blowing into Emperor Tianhong's heart, easing his tension and excitement.

Emperor Tianhong took a deep breath and tried to compose himself. He said cautiously, "My biggest feeling is that the strongest Daoist arts in the world are not in any sect, but are right here in this world, omnipresent."

"Perhaps the name 'Beginningless' is meant to guide all sentient beings?"

After saying these words, Emperor Tianhong's heart jumped into his throat again, fearing that he might offend the Sword Venerable Fudao.

The longer he knelt, the greater his awe of Gu An became, because he could feel that Gu An was guiding him to enlightenment.

Gu An smiled and said, "Perhaps. Different people have different understandings. Do you want to become my apprentice?"

Emperor Tianhong's eyes widened, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Sword Master, I want to! I really want to! Can you accept me?"

Gu An raised his right hand, and a sword flew out from his palm, quickly growing larger with its tip pointing upwards, hovering in front of him. The sword was exquisite and beautiful, shimmering with a faint silver light, as if adorned with stars.

"This is the Primordial Dao Treasure, named the Longevity Sword. I'll lend it to you for a while. Go out and save this world. When you become the savior, return this sword to me. Then you can decide whether you want to become my disciple."

As Gu An introduced the sword, the Longevity Sword flew to Emperor Tianhong.

Emperor Tianhong could sense the vast Dao intent within the Longevity Sword. He was not drawn to the sword; instead, he looked at Gu An and said urgently, "I can make a decision right now and am willing to become your disciple!"

Gu An said meaningfully, "Wait until you have the greatest fame and power, and understand your own destiny, then you can make a decision. There's no need to rush. If you're willing then, I will take you in."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianhong calmed down.

"Go now."

Gu An continued, and upon hearing this, Emperor Tianhong stood up, grasped the Longevity Sword, and in an instant, a surge of memories flooded into his mind, leaving him stunned on the spot.

Seeing this, Gu An crossed the stream and brushed past him.

"Let's try to break through."

Gu An, with his back to Emperor Tianhong, thought to himself.

He then began to have expectations.

What realm lies above the Great Immortal of Wonderful Truth?
