Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses Chapter 1025 - 1017: One Qiangaillion Years of Life Span

Within the rit Divine Horse Heavenly Palace, Gu An sat upon the Heavenly Monarch’s throne, watching Zhu Xi, guided by Xuanqing Star Lord, selecting the divine steeds.

He once had a master-disciple relationship with Zhu Xi, but her overly cautious nature led her to choose to bid farewell.

Now reunited in the Celestial Court, Gu An had no intention of eting Zhu Xi. He had so many disciples that eting each one was unnecessary, and besides, everyone has their own life path—the absence of a eting can be a good thing.

Much like Chu Jingfeng, although Gu An resolved a crisis for him and granted him a better life, Chu Jingfeng’s sense of pride faded as a result. To cultivate it anew would require enduring countless challenges.

Gu An looked at Zhu Xi, and in his eyes appeared the life silhouettes of other old acquaintances.

The Heavenly Dao waged war with Chaos, fraught with perils, yet under the Heavenly Dao, all living beings remained unaffected, with their own life paths to undergo, their own tribulations to face.

Within Chaos were many powerful beings adept at wielding the Power of the Great Dao, and the Celestial Dao Venerable possessed similar abilities, seemingly capable of holding the Great Dao in their grasp. Yet, the Great Dao remains omnipresent, still influencing all living beings.

Given Gu An’s current realm, with a single thought, all Three Thousand Great Dao were at his disposal, transcending the Great Dao.

Yet, upon reconsideration, he realized he could only borrow the power of the Great Dao, unable to obliterate the Dao itself.

Many cultivators believed that controlling the Great Dao equated to transcending it. However, true transcendence should an more than this. The Celestial Emperor had long known of the existence of saints, suggesting that Chaos once had saints. But the lack of saints now indicates the Great Dao is more enduring than saints.

Gu An cast his gaze upon the rivers of the Great Dao.

The Great Dao River is regarded as the manifestation of the Tao Origin, and indeed, deep within it lies the Tao Origin, though it doesn’t just appear in one place.

Gu An gradually entered a state of profound mystery, rging his consciousness with the Great Dao River. He saw nurous scenes, encapsulating the experiences of all living beings throughout ti.

anwhile, under Xuanqing Star Lord’s guidance, six rit Immortals successfully chose their divine steeds. Before departing, one divine steed approached Zhu Xi, kicked away the steed before her, and then rubbed its head against her—this greatly surprised Xuanqing Star Lord, for he could tell this steed was extraordinary, unmatched by other steeds.

This led the other five rit Immortals to view Zhu Xi with higher regard. Naturally delighted, Zhu Xi considered it her fuyuan without much thought.

Having visited the Cloud Realm countless tis, Xuanqing Star Lord had never witnessed such an occurrence, his intuition hinting sothing amiss.

He recalled Zhu Xi ntioning she hailed from the Celestial Spirit Great World.

Xuanqing Star Lord’s gaze toward Zhu Xi changed, though he had speculations, he did not express them, rely advising Zhu Xi to accept this steed, and then led them to et the Cloud Realm’s Divine Horse Celestial Official.

That day, Zhu Xi and the six rit Immortals were sent by Xuanqing Star Lord to the border of the Heavenly Dao, preparing to head to the battlefield.

The Emperor of Heaven Burial was severely wounded by the Celestial Emperor, significantly boosting the morale of the Immortal Gods. Yet, the troubles of the Heavenly Dao did not diminish, instead growing increasingly fierce.

The Immortal Gods initially did not realize it, but as the battles intensified, their pressure continuously increased, once again feeling uneasy.

Years later, sothing occurred that plunged the Heavenly Court Immortals into a new abyss of panic.

The God Slaughter List reappeared, once again spreading within the Heavenly Dao, with Immortal Gods falling frequently, more so than before—it’s said these Immortal Gods were killed within the Heavenly Dao, greatly impacting the Immortal Gods.

The Celestial Dao Destiny decreased once more, and Central Heaven’s celestial vault was not as bright as in years past.

Ti continued to flow.

Gu An would occasionally accompany Lu Lingjun in battle, but not every war would see his participation. Despite this, his lifespan continued to grow rapidly.

When his lifespan broke through one million trillion years, no new functions were unlocked, nor was the previous lifespan function upgraded. He was not regretful about this.

His current goal was to accumulate a life span of one thousand vigintillion years, which is ten million decillion years, ten million trillion years.

This is a rather enormous figure, but given the Celestial Dao and Chaos situation, even if Gu An muddled through, not being overly diligent, he could accumulate this number.

Regarding the Heavenly Court’s predicant, Gu An had no intention to intervene, unless soone brought trouble to him directly.

Ti flies like an arrow.

Millions of years passed in the blink.

Central Heaven welcod a new prosperous era, with the world’s various clans once more entering the stage of rivalry, leading many races to rapidly strengthen, accompanied by growing ambition.

In the New Year, Gu An stood upon a cliff, appreciating the lush green mountains and waters ahead.

Standing atop this cliff, he bore no marks of the passage of ti; the scene felt familiar to the newly arrived Ji.

He felt such scenes he often witnessed in the past, they—the disciples—discussed privately that their master bore a unique aura, harmonizing with nature, a realm others could not achieve.

An Xin remarked that their master had united with the Dao, becoming one with the Great Dao, thus only visible to the naked eye.

Ji marveled at their master’s strength, approaching Gu An and exclaid, "Master, isn’t it ti to take to the Chaos Battlefield next?"

Gu An, after taking Wu Xie twice, began to distribute opportunities equitably, taking other second generation disciples along. Ji awaited eagerly, wishing to experience a thrilling battle.

Previously, rely listening to senior brothers and sisters speak of the Chaos Battlefield fueled his longing.

Gu An softly replied, "Since you wish to go, I shall take you next ti, but let clarify: the upcoming battlefield will be far more perilous than before. Even if I ensure your survival, you’ll be entangled in cause and effect, enduring long-term tornt."

Ji laughed heartily, "I am unafraid; in your words, my nature is too arrogant, encountering so hardships is beneficial."

Gu An glanced at him, unable to suppress a smile, then expressed concern for his Immortal Emperor’s Eye cultivation.

Ji’s Immortal Emperor’s Eye had reached an extrely high realm, yet could never surpass An Xin, to his dismay.

With his Immortal Emperor’s Eye, he felt confident against other second generation disciples, yet Gu An forbade its use otherwise—only when facing An Xin could he employ it, but he couldn’t best An Xin, leaving him frustrated.

"Ji, open your Immortal Emperor’s Eye and gaze at the Great Dao, see what it reveals," Gu An suddenly said.

Ji hesitated briefly, then imdiately activated the Immortal Emperor’s Eye, looking toward the celestial vault. His Immortal Emperor’s Eye pierced through space-ti, quickly locating a Great Dao.

His pupils constantly changed colors, exploring various Great Dao.

After a mont, Ji suddenly exclaid in surprise, "Master, why do I sense a certain special cause and effect subtly ddling with different Great Dao? Though faint, it definitely exists."

Gu An, hearing this, smiled and replied, "Can you clearly discern this cause and effect?"
