When I Achieved Sainthood, the Immortal Official Actually Called Me to Raise Horses!-Chapter 512: Hei Xuan’s Ascension, Xuanqing Immortal Sect

Hei Xuan?

As soon as Gu An saw the first prompt, he couldn't help but frown.

Could it be that the Black Xuan Emperor was actually his reincarnated self?

He carefully recalled what Yang Xian had encountered. The Black Xuan Emperor had never revealed his true face, making it difficult to judge.

But if Black Xuan Emperor was really him, why would he hunt down his own reincarnated self?

Gu An continued reading, his curiosity about this lifetime growing stronger.

[At age two, you were taken in by a cultivator and brought back to the Dark Heaven Demon Sect. You were formally accepted as a disciple by a cultivator named Luo Shen Yuan.]

[At age four, Luo Shen Yuan began teaching you cultivation techniques. You displayed extraordinary talent, shocking Luo Shen Yuan.]

[At age five, Luo Shen Yuan left, leaving you alone in his cave abode. The venomous python he had been raising broke free from its cage and attempted to devour you. After a brutal battle, you managed to slay the python, unexpectedly seizing 30 years of lifespan. Your fate took a drastic turn.]

[At age six, you successfully established your foundation using the python’s demon core.]

[At age seven, Luo Shen Yuan returned. After learning that you had killed the python, he said nothing. Instead, he handed you a cultivation manual. You took the book and saw the five characters on the cover: "Yin-Yang Reversal Art."]

From that point forward, the rest of the records depicted years of cultivation. Hei Xuan had shown remarkable talent, though whether he was the strongest of Gu An’s reincarnations remained uncertain.

It wasn't until he turned twenty that Luo Shen Yuan sent him down the mountain for a century-long training journey.

[At age twenty-one, you encountered an elderly Daoist. He observed your extraordinary aura and offered to divine your fate. Do you accept?]

Why did every Lifespan Reincarnation cycle seem to have one of these figures?

Could this be some kind of scheme?

Gu An didn't believe in coincidences. He chose to refuse.

[You rejected the old Daoist’s divination. The old Daoist shook his head regretfully and said that one day you would meet again. You watched his departing figure in silence for a long time.]

[At age twenty-two, you encountered a city besieged by a monstrous horde. Without hesitation, you joined the battle, fighting alongside fellow cultivators to repel the attack. However, your overwhelming killing intent frightened the city's citizens, and even your fellow cultivators were wary of you. Unable to integrate into their ranks, you silently departed.]

[At age twenty-three, you encountered demonic cultivators committing atrocities. You intervened and slaughtered them. A wealthy mortal family, grateful for your aid, invited you to stay in their manor for a few days. You agreed, protecting them throughout their journey, slaying demons along the way. However, as you traveled, you overheard their hushed conversations about how to get rid of you. On the night before reaching their destination, you left alone.]

[At age twenty-four, you arrived at Hanji City and heard that a Dao Combat Tournament was being held. Only young talents under 100 years old could participate. You registered and defeated numerous geniuses, securing first place and gaining renown throughout the city. At the victory banquet, the City Lord offered his daughter’s hand in marriage. Do you accept?]

No.

Even though Hei Xuan might become the Black Xuan Emperor, he was still Gu An’s reincarnated self. He couldn’t allow his past incarnation to have any weaknesses.

Finding a Dao companion was fine, but not now.

[You rejected the City Lord’s offer. The City Lord shook his head with a smile and did not insist. The next morning, you departed, taking the rare treasures you had won from the Dao Combat Tournament. However, two hundred miles outside the city, a group of mysterious cultivators ambushed you. After a fierce battle, only one enemy remained alive. Through interrogation, you learned that the attack was orchestrated by the City Lord himself. This filled you with rage.]

[At age twenty-five, you ventured into the demonic beast-infested mountains and began a ruthless massacre.]

[At age twenty-six, you returned to Hanji City. Upon reaching the City Lord’s mansion, you chose to force your way in, igniting a brutal battle. In the end, the mansion was littered with corpses. The City Lord, drained of all spiritual energy, knelt on the ground, begging for mercy. His daughter ran over, blocking your path, pleading for her father’s life. Do you choose to spare the City Lord?]

Spare him?

Did the City Lord spare me?

Gu An fully immersed himself in the perspective of Hei Xuan and felt the same surge of anger. Without hesitation, he chose no.

[You ignored the City Lord’s daughter's pleas and with a single sword strike, you beheaded the City Lord before turning away. The sky was covered in dark clouds. The City Lord’s daughter knelt on the ground, her voice hoarse from screaming curses at you, vowing revenge in the future. You remained indifferent and left without looking back.]

Reading this, Gu An suspected that Hei Xuan might have had some feelings for this woman.

After all, throughout his journey, Hei Xuan had cultivated an immense killing aura, almost on par with Long Zhan, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor. And yet, he actually spared the City Lord’s daughter?

Hei Xuan's personality became even more vivid in Gu An’s mind. However, he wasn’t worried about the consequences of leaving her alive.

Hei Xuan, possessing Lifespan Evolution, would grow rapidly. Early-life enemies like this were unlikely to pose a threat to him in the future.

In the following years, Hei Xuan clearly relied heavily on Lifespan Evolution. Every year was marked by slaughter upon slaughter. He even launched large-scale massacres against foreign races, making Gu An feel that his growth speed would surpass all his past lives.

When the hundred-year training period ended, Hei Xuan returned to the Dark Heaven Demon Sect.

[At age one hundred twenty-one, you returned to Luo Shen Yuan’s cave abode, only to find out that he had died. The cause of death was recorded as going mad during cultivation, killing his fellow disciples, and being executed by the sect's elders in time. You felt that something was suspicious. While continuing your cultivation within the Dark Heaven Demon Sect, you started investigating the truth behind your master’s death.]

[At age one hundred twenty-two, you encountered another disciple of Luo Shen Yuan within the sect. After a long conversation, you confided in him, expressing your belief that your master could not have lost control and gone mad. After a moment of hesitation, the disciple told you that your master might have died because he offended the Vice Sect Master. This gave you a new lead to investigate.]

[At age one hundred twenty-three, while meditating inside your cave, you suddenly sensed several powerful auras approaching. Before you could react, the cave’s protective array was forcefully broken. A group of law enforcement disciples stormed in, accusing you of going mad during cultivation and murdering fellow disciples. They declared their intent to execute you. After a fierce battle, you managed to escape, but soon, more sect members joined the hunt, forcing you to flee northward, killing your pursuers along the way.]

[At age one hundred twenty-four, you arrived in the Northern Abyss Region. Standing on a cliff, you witnessed a massive Kun leaping out of the boundless ocean. You were struck with awe and fell into a deep state of enlightenment.]

[At age one hundred twenty-five, while exploring the depths of a glacier, you discovered a mysterious cave abode. After several days of careful study, you successfully deciphered the protective formations sealing the entrance. Upon entering, you encountered nine layers of intricate mechanisms. After overcoming them all, you found a stone tablet with the words ‘Karma’ engraved upon it. Sensing the immense spiritual energy within the cave, you decided to go into seclusion, putting aside your plans for revenge against the Dark Heaven Demon Sect for now.]

[At age one hundred thirty-five, after advancing to the Mahayana Realm, you prepared to return and take revenge. However, just as you were about to leave, the Karma Stone Tablet trembled. A terrifying force suddenly engulfed you and dragged you into it.]

[You found yourself in a dimly lit cavern. Turning around, you saw that the stone tablet was different from before—it had no words, covered instead in cracks and dust. No matter what techniques you used, it remained unresponsive. You decided to leave the cave.]

[Upon stepping outside, you realized that you were no longer in the glacier region. Instead, you found yourself in an immortal paradise. The overwhelming spiritual energy of this world left you stunned.]

[As you marveled at the breathtaking scenery, a woman in white robes, resembling a celestial maiden, descended from the sky and landed gracefully beside you. Unable to perceive her cultivation level, you remained highly vigilant. The woman looked at you and asked if you had ascended from the lower realm, further deepening your confusion. She then extended an invitation for you to join the Xuanqing Immortal Sect. Do you accept?]

Ascended?

Gu An had never heard of the Xuanqing Immortal Sect, but Hei Xuan didn't seem to have much choice.

If the other party harbored malicious intent, rejecting the invitation would likely only cause trouble. Why not join first and see what happens?
