Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 753 - 745: Life Span of Ten Quadrillion Years, Profound Abyss Ancient Tree

Chapter 753 -745: Life Span of Ten Quadrillion Years, Profound Abyss Ancient Tree

The struggle of the Son of Heaven draws closer to the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and for all living beings, the most apparent sign is the increase in mythical stories; Immortal Gods are no longer just ethereal legends.

In each Great Thousand World beyond the heavens, grand opportunities continuously appear, bringing boundless hope to the cultivators of the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

The Immortal Gods’ concept of time differs from that of mortal spirits; even in the preparation stage, millions of years do not seem long.

Time flies by.

Millions of years turn a page in the giant book of time; more and more Immortal Gods begin to descend into the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

The world of the Celestial Spirit Great World starts to become turbulent, not because of the struggle for the Son of Heaven, but due to the nine major sects suppressing the Demon Emperor, causing upheaval in the demon race.

On this day, deep in the sea, within the Hidden Spirit Palace.

Gu An was picking medicinal herbs when his actions suddenly paused.

[Your lifespan has broken through the ten trillion-year mark for the first time; a random upgrade to lifespan functions will now commence.]

[Your lifespan reincarnation function has been upgraded.]

[Lifespan reincarnation upgraded successfully.]

[Lifespan Reincarnation: Perform reincarnation evolution, which will reflect in reality. Each session consumes a billion years of lifespan. All memories obtained during reincarnation will transmit into your mind as if experienced firsthand. There is no time limit to reincarnation evolution; it depends entirely on the choices made during causality. You can choose to reincarnate into the past, present, or future or select a prior reincarnation body to reincarnate again. All reincarnations will retain lifespan evolution abilities, and merging memories with reality will take just an hour.]

Looking at the series of prompts before him, Gu An squinted slightly.

The consumption for lifespan reincarnation rising from ten million to one billion years seems substantial, yet the actual content feels worth it.

Choosing independently among the past, present, and future can circumvent many troubles, and selecting a prior reincarnation body for a new reincarnation can yield even more gains.

For someone like Yang Xian, whose talent and comprehension are exceedingly high, if he reached the Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal Realm, the fortune he would bring to Gu An is far beyond what a billion-year lifespan evolution could offer.

Of course, opening a new reincarnation would also generate more anticipation.

Given his current lifespan, consuming a billion years of lifespan is no concern for Gu An.

Gu An continued to pick medicinal herbs, preparing to initiate a lifespan reincarnation session after his current task, opting for a new reincarnation body rather than a previous one.

To him, each new reincarnated life was akin to an epic and vast novel. Having not started a new one for a while, he was indeed feeling nostalgic.

As for the causality brought by lifespan reincarnation, he now took it lightly, accepting or ignoring it at will, confident in facing any resultant effects.

Continuous cultivation, striving for the summit of the Great Dao, was not meant for servitude to all living beings!

He had no desire to care for every world; protecting his surroundings sufficiently was enough to live happily and freely.

“Thinking this way, perhaps Immortal Gods are too free, hence neglectful of all living beings?”

Gu An suddenly considered this but then thought it over and found it not entirely true.

The Immortal Gods need the worship of all living beings; the Celestial Dao Destiny requires the faith of all beings, but he did not need it. Even when creating the Primordial Dao Emperor Fortune, he did not require the faith and offerings of cultivators.

His creations were more driven by personal interest.

After a while, seeing that Gu An had finished picking the herbs, the Deep Sea Dragon Carp, who had been waiting by his side, approached.

Having followed Gu An for over 8.9 million years, the young and naive fish was now a venerable figure with the poise of an Enlightened Grandmaster.

Occasionally, it would venture out to explore the world, gathering knowledge for future opportunities, something Gu An permitted, not wanting to confine it here forever.

The Deep Sea Dragon Carp would go out but never stay away for long, leaving avatars to manage the Hidden Spirit Palace’s various medicine gardens without mishap.

“Master, have you heard about the Demon Emperor?” the Deep Sea Dragon Carp asked cautiously.

Gu An asked offhandedly, “I’ve heard. What of it?”

He began selecting herbs to bring back. Although he did not need medicinal herbs, the Wushiji Disciple did, and his Dao Fruit Universe already had a massive stock of elixirs.

Since cultivating herbs in the Dao Fruit Universe would drain his mana, not lifespan, he had no desire to cultivate it. For now, he used it only for storage.

“Don’t you think the nine major sects are too despicable? It’s not because I’m partial to our demon race, but the Demon Emperor is a leader admired even by humans. He advocates for peaceful coexistence among all races, sharing the Dao and even teaching human cultivators, saving those in distress. Such a demon was oppressed by the righteous Daoist sects for a feeble reason.”

“The reason was apparently that the Demon Emperor’s disciple’s disciple killed one of their True Disciples, and when negotiations failed, they had no choice but to wage war against the Demon Emperor. How absurd!”

The Deep Sea Dragon Carp’s tone grew indignant as it spoke.

Gu An smiled and said, “Indeed absurd, but what good is telling me? Do you expect me to uphold justice for the Demon Emperor?”

The Deep Sea Dragon Carp quickly shook its head, saying, “How could I dare think such a thing? It’s just that the Demon Emperor seems promising; maybe you could save him and bring him to the Hidden Spirit Palace?”

Even the sea demons admired the Demon Emperor’s deeds; he not only saved people but demons. Before becoming the Demon Emperor, he roamed the world, eradicating evil and helping the weak. These stories were well-known among the demon race, and the Deep Sea Dragon Carp, having heard many, also grew fond of him.

“I’ve never met him, so how could I accept him? You haven’t genuinely ventured into the world, how can you understand a person from hearsay? Go out and train; you can even look for the Demon Emperor, but don’t think of saving him.”

Gu An chuckled softly; he too was quite pleased with the Demon Emperor.

Two million years ago, Gu An had saved the demon before he became the Demon Emperor, speaking a few words that the demon held dear for a lifetime, practicing them faithfully till today, which was rare.

Of course, pleased or not, it was not enough for Gu An to intervene.

From his perspective, the Demon Emperor would break free eventually, reaching greater realms and firmly establishing himself in the Celestial Spirit Great World. The current tribulation was but a chapter in the Demon Emperor’s life, one that he would overcome.

The Deep Sea Dragon Carp hesitated, truly wanting to seek out the Demon Emperor.

“Alright, I’m leaving. Think it over. If you want to go, leave an avatar and do not need to inform me.”

With these words, Gu An vanished, leaving the Deep Sea Dragon Carp in contemplation.

Elsewhere, Gu An arrived at a small island near the Immortal Seeking Island. Sitting on a reef, he faced the sea breeze and began his lifespan reincarnation.

[You have consumed a billion years of lifespan to start a reincarnation evolution.]

[Please choose to reincarnate to either the past, present, or future.]

The past!

Going to the past might reveal insights about the ancient Celestial Court, gathering useful information for the present. Reincarnating to the future offered unreliable intelligence, serving only cultivation and Dao enlightenment purposes.

[Would you like to select a previous reincarnation body for rebirth?]

No!

[Connecting to the Dao Rules.]

[Searching for reincarnation heavens and earth.]

[You have the following options, choose one:]

[1. Ling Mountain]

[2. Endless Jade Pool]

[3. Profound Abyss Divine Pool]

These places all appeared imposing. Ling Mountain’s grandeur was evident even to Gu An, harboring Daluo Immortals.

However, Gu An did not wish to become a monk.

His gaze fell on the Profound Abyss Divine Pool, which lay in the Underworld, the Land of Reincarnation.

He had never visited the Underworld, but he saw its immense expanse, larger than all Three Thousand Great Worlds combined. The Underworld was not fully covered by Celestial Dao Destiny, proving the strength of the Profound Abyss Divine Pool.

[You have chosen to reincarnate into the Profound Abyss Divine Pool.]

[This reincarnation will fully retain lifespan seizing and evolution abilities.]

[Reincarnation evolution begins.]

[Year one, you are born in the Other Shore Heaven as a Profound Abyss Fruit on the Profound Abyss Ancient Tree.]

[At seventeen, a Ghost Immortal comes to the Profound Abyss Ancient Tree for enlightenment, and you observe his actions with curiosity.]

[At one hundred and two, you watch this Ghost Immortal cultivate Divine Skills, silently noting all his techniques.]

[At two hundred and twenty-seven, the Ghost Immortal departs, and you gradually comprehend the Qi Absorption Technique.]
