When I Achieved Sainthood, the Immortal Official Actually Called Me to Raise Horses!-Chapter 516: Dao Supremacy Art

The inheritance of reincarnation had come to an end.

When Gu An opened his eyes, night had already fallen. He looked up at the vast starry sky, feeling as if he had lived through an eternity.

The million years of Black Xuan Emperor’s reincarnation memories had fully merged with his soul, making it feel as though he had personally experienced every moment of those endless years.

The Dark Grand Heaven, Xuanqing Great World, the Path of the Grand Dao, the Land of Reincarnation…

He had completely become Black Xuan Emperor, the two had fused into one.

The so-called reincarnated bodies were actually all the same soul, only manifesting differently under different Grand Dao laws. A reincarnated body could slay another reincarnated body, but it could never slay the original soul.

If the original soul was destroyed, all reincarnated bodies would be erased from existence.

Black Xuan Emperor must have realized this, which was why he had stopped creating Karma Avatars.

As for whether Black Xuan Emperor could tell whether he was the original soul, Gu An wasn't certain.

But for the reincarnated bodies themselves, it didn't matter.

Whether they were the original soul or not was irrelevant to their survival.

In fact, the original soul could even serve as their greatest reliance.

Wu Dao Immortal had wanted Black Xuan Emperor to slaughter his other reincarnated bodies, simply to sever all karma and make it easier to seize his body, so that he could escape the pursuit of the Heavenly Court.

Unfortunately for Wu Dao Immortal, he didn’t realize that Black Xuan Emperor’s reincarnation cycle was different from what he understood.

Gu An’s Lifespan Reincarnation had never been bound to the laws of the Grand Dao, which meant outsiders couldn't use Black Xuan Emperor to trace back his reincarnated bodies or his original soul.

This lifetime of Black Xuan Emperor allowed Gu An to gain a true understanding of the Great Thousand Worlds, the Path of the Grand Dao, and the Land of Reincarnation, even revealing different cultivation paths.

Grand Dao Emperor!

The Grand Dao Emperor was a branch of the immortal cultivation path.

Unlike ordinary cultivators, a Grand Dao Emperor was directly connected to the Grand Dao, enabling them to wield the power of the Dao at lower cultivation levels, making their strength immeasurable by normal standards.

To become a Grand Dao Emperor, one must gain the recognition of the Grand Dao, an almost impossible feat.

Black Xuan Emperor had only succeeded by inheriting the legacy left behind by Xie Wang Emperor, which allowed him to forge his own path as a Grand Dao Emperor.

The worlds created by the Grand Dao were truly vast beyond imagination.

Even an Innate Golden Immortal was not qualified to glimpse the true essence of the Grand Dao.

A set of footsteps approached from behind, interrupting Gu An’s thoughts.

Shen Zhen sat down beside him and curiously asked, “What’s wrong with you? You’ve been sitting here all day and night.”

She had been watching him for a long time, but only now, after seeing him stir slightly, did she dare to approach.

Gu An tilted his head to look at her and smiled.

“Of course, I was comprehending the nature of heaven and earth.”

Seeing the smile on his face, Shen Zhen let out a quiet sigh of relief.

She took out a scroll, unfurled it, and revealed a painting—a depiction of Gu An’s back, shrouded in gloom and eerie stillness, exuding a deathly, oppressive aura.

“This is something I painted before,” Shen Zhen said cautiously.

She hesitated, then continued, “While painting, I saw glimpses of some… images.”

Gu An raised an eyebrow with interest.

Could she actually see his reincarnation memories?

“What did you see?” Gu An asked, his smile widening slightly.

His relaxed demeanor helped ease Shen Zhen’s tension.

Earlier, Gu An’s back had given her an overwhelming sense of oppression, triggering an instinctive fear.

If not for their relationship, she wouldn’t have dared to approach him at all.

Shen Zhen hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

“I saw a lot of scenes… just fragments, but they were…”

She struggled for words.

“But they were what?”

“…Terrifying,” she finally said.

Shen Zhen took a deep breath and continued,

“The things you’ve experienced, the enemies you’ve faced… they’re beyond anything I could have ever imagined.”

She recalled the majestic figure of God of Destruction, and her body trembled involuntarily.

To face such an existence… anyone would feel absolute despair.

Then, she thought of the parting between Gu An and Bai Xian Fairy.

She remembered the moment Gu An met her again—but this time, Bai Xian Fairy had become an aloof celestial goddess, cold and indifferent.

A trace of pity flashed in Shen Zhen’s eyes.

Gu An listened to Shen Zhen’s inner thoughts, roughly guessing what scenes she had glimpsed. Even though they were just fragments, the fact that she could perceive them at all proved her natural talent for comprehending the Dao of Karma.

It wasn’t just the Dao of Karma—perhaps Shen Zhen could even peer into the Dao of Reincarnation and the Dao of Fate.

Gu An put on a serious expression and said, “The things you saw—aside from those related to me—you must not describe them to others, and you absolutely must not paint them again. Otherwise, it could bring unnecessary trouble.”

Shen Zhen nodded immediately.

She wasn’t foolish.

Even Gu An had been unable to defeat the God of Destruction.

How could she possibly dare to paint such an existence?

Looking at Gu An’s calm but resolute face, she suddenly felt a pang of sympathy.

Even someone like Gu An carried an unbearable weight on his shoulders.

He had his own invincible enemies, too.

Perhaps Gu An had chosen to live in the Grand Heaven World, not to seek seclusion, but to avoid those terrifying beings that even he couldn’t face head-on.

For the first time, Shen Zhen felt an overwhelming desire to grow stronger.

She didn’t know what had happened between Gu An and that woman, but seeing Bai Xian Fairy looking down on him from above, she couldn’t help but feel a deep frustration.

One day, she would accompany Gu An on his path to vengeance!

She had nothing left to hold her back in this life—her only purpose now was to follow Gu An and cultivate.

From now on, his enemies would be her enemies!

Gu An heard her thoughts and couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

Of course, he was still a little moved.

Bringing her to the Dao Field hadn’t been in vain.

“I’ll teach you a divine art,” Gu An said, looking at Shen Zhen with a smile.

“It will help you better comprehend the Dao. Do you want to learn it?”

Shen Zhen’s eyes lit up instantly, and she nodded enthusiastically.

“This technique is extremely profound. It won’t yield results in just a year or two. You should prepare yourself mentally,” Gu An warned.

Shen Zhen responded confidently, “In this Dao Field, I don’t need to rush.”

Gu An chuckled.

Then, he transmitted the Dao Supremacy Art to Shen Zhen.

The Dao Supremacy Art was originally taught to Black Xuan Emperor by Wu Dao Immortal, but Black Xuan Emperor had refined and enhanced it, making it even more formidable.

Gu An speculated that Black Xuan Emperor must have used Lifespan Evolution to modify the technique—this was likely why Wu Dao Immortal had been hunting him but never succeeded in capturing him.

Black Xuan Emperor’s Dao Supremacy Art had already surpassed Wu Dao Immortal’s version.

The Dao Supremacy Art was a complete and comprehensive Dao method—it contained divine abilities, spells, movement techniques, formations, and more.

Once Shen Zhen fully inherited the Dao Supremacy Art, she wouldn’t need to cultivate any other Dao arts.

Having merged so many reincarnation memories, Gu An had mastered countless Dao techniques, but among them, the Dao Supremacy Art was undoubtedly one of the most supreme techniques.

Perhaps Black Xuan Emperor wasn’t as naturally gifted as Yang Xian in swordsmanship, nor did he possess the peerless battle instincts of Ji of Yan Tribe, but his fortune and opportunities were unmatched.

Gu An didn’t explain everything verbally.

Instead, he raised his hand, extended two fingers, and gently tapped Shen Zhen’s forehead.

Shen Zhen’s eyes widened.

She stared at Gu An in stunned silence, a strange glimmer flickering within her gaze.

But soon, she entered a deep state of enlightenment.

The moon set, and the sun rose.

Morning sunlight bathed Shen Zhen’s figure, and her eyes suddenly snapped open.

For a moment, she sat frozen, completely dazed.

Then, she instinctively glanced around.

When she saw Gu An standing at the cliffside not far away, stretching his body, she finally let out a breath of relief.

The Dao Supremacy Art was so vast and profound that just inheriting its cultivation memories made her feel like she had experienced the passing of entire epochs.

When she awoke, she had a brief moment of existential confusion, as though everything around her had changed beyond recognition.

She stood up and walked over to Gu An’s side.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard Gu An say:

“This technique—I’m only passing it down to you alone. You must never share it with others.”

Hearing this, Shen Zhen’s face lit up with joy, her entire being filled with renewed energy.
