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

Chapter 747 Ancient Mystery, Taihao
Mysterious Nether Fruit?
How did I get reincarnated as a fruit?
Looking at the prompt before him, Gu An realized that he would likely remain in the tree for the next few thousand years, with no choice in the matter.

That's quite novel!

Gu An continued reading, with hints constantly appearing. As a Xuan You Fruit user, he encountered passersby repeatedly in the years that followed.

There are ghosts and immortals, demons and humans. Some just pass by, while others stay, just like that ghost and immortal.

only……

The wait took longer than he had anticipated.

Ten thousand years have passed, and he is still a Xuanyou Fruit.

At the age of 12,732, you will gain insight into the universe and nature, comprehend the Dao of Yin and Yang, and your spiritual cultivation will increase.

At the age of 12,803, a torrential rain fell from the sky. You had never felt rain before, and you were immersed in the cleansing rain, which elevated your physical body.

At the age of 13,146, you sway in the wind, break free from the vines, and fall to the ground. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers towards you, and you begin to take human form. Please choose a male or female body.

The prompt stopped here, and Gu An raised an eyebrow. Did he really need to make a choice?

Male!

Gu Anding made his choice. In the past ten thousand years, the Xuan You Fruit he had transformed into had witnessed the difference between men and women, and he had probably been considering this matter all these years.

After making his choice, his reincarnated body was gestating for a full hundred years before it successfully took human form, and he also comprehended his innate divine power, the Mysterious Yin-Yang Protection!
He also took a branch from the Mysterious Ancient Tree, transformed it into a long staff, and traveled to the Other Shore with the staff.

At the age of 13,307, you encounter a wandering ghost who claims to be being hunted by the Nine Yin Divine Palace and advises you to change direction to avoid running into it. Will you choose to avoid the Nine Yin Divine Palace?

Yes!
Just kidding. Gu An had experienced the power of the Nine Yin Divine Palace before in the life of the Black Xuan Emperor. Most of the ghost immortals in the Nine Yin Divine Palace were superior to those in the Luo Tian Free Immortal Realm.

With Gu An's current level of cultivation, he cannot see the entire situation in the underworld, but he can sense that the Nine Yin Divine Palace is hiding a Great Luo Immortal.

The great divide between Yin and Yang is too strong, which is why the Heavenly Dao's fortune cannot completely cover the underworld.

The newly transformed Xuan You Fruit is certainly no match for the Nine Yin Divine Palace.

You choose to believe the other person. After a long conversation, you decide to visit the otherworld city they mentioned, hoping it will help you better understand everything. However, this wandering ghost wants to follow you. Do you agree?

no!
You refused its request, but it persisted relentlessly, and unable to drive it away, you could only let it follow you. You learned its name; it called itself Gui Sanlang. After some argument, you decided to name yourself. Because you were born from the Xuan You Ancient Tree, you named yourself Gu Xuan You.

At the age of 13,315, you entered the City of the Other Shore with Gui Sanlang. In the same year, you met a cultivator in the city who called himself Zhu Tian Dao Ren and came from the Other Shore Heaven. It turns out that the Other Shore Heaven is not the name of this place, but the name of an ancient lineage. He saw through your roots and found that you were a Xuan You Fruit. He wanted to take you to the Other Shore Heaven to cultivate. Do you agree?

Yes!
Gu An felt that the other party could see through his background and was someone he could not resist. If the other party had malicious intentions towards him, even refusing would cause trouble.

Moreover, Gu Xuanyou needs Taoist methods in order to truly begin cultivating immortality.

Having lived for over ten thousand years, Gu Xuanyou has never stolen his lifespan, and the Other Shore Heaven appears peaceful, demonstrating its strong foundation. However, in Gu An's era, the Other Shore Heaven was not a force, and even now, looking down upon the underworld, he cannot see it.

This suggests that the other side of the sky may perish.

That's good too. After Gu Xuanyou has completed his cultivation and left, the Other Shore Heaven will perish, thus concealing many causes and effects.

Of course, the reason for the destruction of the Other Shore may be related to the ancient Xuanyou; we'll have to wait and see to find out.

You accepted Zhu Tiandao's invitation and, along with Gui Sanlang, followed him to the Other Shore Heaven. Along the way, he gained much knowledge and became excited about the life ahead. After entering the Qi Luck Dojo of the Other Shore Heaven, Zhu Tiandao took you to meet the Other Shore Emperor, the ruler of the Other Shore Heaven. It turns out that when your will was born, the Other Shore Emperor foresaw that you were destined to be with him, and he would personally take you as his disciple.

At the age of 13,316, the Emperor of the Other Shore will impart to you the Divine Art of the Other Shore Heavenly Cycle. He will only allow you to cultivate this art, saying that it is the most suitable Taoist method for you.

The subsequent prompts were all about cultivation. Not only was Gu Xuanyou cultivating, but Gui Sanlang was also cultivating, and the Other Shore Emperor had also taught it a set of techniques, allowing it to serve Gu Xuanyou for eternity.

Gu An sighed inwardly. His reincarnated body always seemed to encounter good teachers. Judging from the current situation, the Other Shore Emperor seemed to genuinely care for him. If he wanted to obtain the Xuan You Fruit, there was no need for such a fuss.

This cultivation lasted for 100,000 years. After 100,000 years, Gu Xuanyou had reached the Xuan Yuan Zi Zai Immortal Realm.

That year, the Lord of the Other Shore arranged for Gu Xuanyou to go to the Nine Yin Divine Palace for training, accompanied by other disciples of the Other Shore Heaven.

The Other Shore Heaven and the Nine Yin Divine Palace are two adjacent underworld Taoist courts. They have a relatively harmonious relationship and often send their disciples to visit each other to enhance communication.

Gu Xuanyou did not encounter any mishaps until they arrived at the Nine Yin Divine Palace, and did not even give Gu An a chance to choose.

After entering the Nine Yin Divine Palace, he stayed there for several years before heading alone to the Yellow Springs for training.

Not long after arriving in the Yellow Springs, he befriended a fellow Daoist named Taihao.

The two hit it off immediately, and Taihao invited Gu Xuanyou to search for treasure in the Yellow Springs, saying that there was a supreme treasure hidden in the Yellow Springs, a treasure left behind by an ancient and powerful being.

Gu An finally had the opportunity to make a choice.

What treasure are you looking for? The Yellow Springs is no safe place. When Gu An looks into the Yellow Springs now, he can see a terrifying power of reincarnation surging deep within. Even a Great Immortal of Wonderful Truth would be affected if he stayed in the Yellow Springs for too long.

He directly declined Taihao's invitation.

You declined Taihao's invitation, but he wasn't angry. He asked you to wait for him by the river before plunging into the Yellow Springs. This made you admire him, and you admired and longed for Taihao's heroic spirit. You meditated by the Yellow Springs and began your cultivation.

At the age of 116,542, while you were cultivating, you were suddenly attacked by two cultivators from the Nine Yin Divine Palace. They had their eyes on your ghost servant and wanted to forcibly take Ghost Sanlang. You were forced to fight back, and after a hard-fought battle, you narrowly killed the two disciples of the Nine Yin Divine Palace. You unexpectedly discovered that you could seize lifespans. After some research, you used lifespan evolution to enhance the Other Shore Zhou Tian Divine Art. Your mastery of the Other Shore Zhou Tian Divine Art made a leap, which caused a subtle change in your mentality.

At the age of 116,552, three more disciples of the Nine Yin Divine Palace came and questioned you about whether you had killed their two junior brothers. You chose to take direct action and annihilate them.
