Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Gu An watched Ye Lan drift into the Reincarnation Vortex. His Divine Thought did not retract but instead followed all the way into the vortex, and only after Ye Lan was drawn into the Great Dao by the Reincarnation Rules did he pull back his Divine Thought.

He stood still, continuing to gaze at Ye Lan's stele.

For a long while.

An Xin came to his side and asked, "Master, are you alright?"

Gu An turned around, stretched lazily, and smiled, "I was just thinking about the past. Let's go, it's time to return to the valley."

An Xin nodded, accompanying him toward the valley.

"Master, I have already arranged for everything, in the future there will be female disciples guarding Uncle-Master's stele daily."

"Mm, you are thoughtful, make sure she is not mistreated."

"Of course, she will not be mistreated, and by the way, Master, there is a rumor circulating outside that Shengtian is about to return and the Immortal Dynasty will be defeated. Is it true?"

An Xin changed the topic, fearing that Gu An would be saddened.

Listening to her heartfelt words, Gu An wanted to laugh; after all, it wasn't his first time dealing with separation and death, so how could he be sad?

Moreover, he and Ye Lan were bound to meet sooner or later.

Gu An replied, "Shengtian will indeed return, but when exactly is hard to say; the Reincarnation Rules obscure cause and effect, and no one can see through it, but one thing is certain, there's still a long time until the Immortal Dynasty faces defeat."

Four hundred and twenty years had passed, and there were no Heavenly Demons causing chaos in the Mortal World, the Sky Demon Great Sect no longer existed, but the Xuanyou Divine Dynasty was still around. However, the Xuanyou Divine Dynasty had now submitted to the Immortal Dynasty, and the world had once again formed a situation where the Holy Court rivaled the Immortal Dynasty.

During these years, Sword Venerable Fudao had not taken action again, and Gu An's life was very peaceful, either teaching the disciples around him Daoist Sorcery, or picking flowers and herbs.

Now he was at the peak of his Luotian Freedom Immortal Realm Cultivation Level, from advanced stage to perfection, he had spent nearly five billion years of his lifespan.

His remaining lifespan was thirty-seven billion years, and he was preparing to strive for a lifespan of one hundred billion years.

"A long time until defeat? Does that not mean they are destined to lose? Should I warn my senior brother?" An Xin hesitated.

An Hao was serving the Immortal Dynasty, very gloriously, and from time to time, his sensational achievements would spread back to the Supreme Sect.

Gu An replied, "He understands that, rather than being concerned about him, you should think about your own cultivation; it's time for you to advance to the Nirvana Realm."

Originally, An Xin's maximum lifespan had not been high, just like Ye Lan and Zhen Qin, rather ordinary, but as her realm continuously improved, cultivating the same Primordial Reincarnation Skill, the extreme lifespan brought about by her released cultivation level was increasing.

Gu An could not see through her talent either, but she was indeed improving. As long as she stepped into the Nirvana Realm, she could break through her limits and not be suppressed by extreme lifespan for a long time.

Now thinking about it, when An Hao and An Xin's hometown was attacked by demons, and only the two of them survived, perhaps it wasn't just An Hao's strong Qi Fortune; An Xin's Qi Fortune was also not simple, it's just that she had not revealed her talent as quickly as An Hao.

"Ah, I have already been trying hard, but increasing cultivation in Mahayana Realm, from the Eighth to the Ninth Floor, is very difficult. Give me some more time."

An Xin shook Gu An's arm, coquettishly.

Gu An just tapped her lightly and did not scold her.

"Keep up your current endeavor, perhaps you really could surpass Hao'er and Jian'er." Gu An whispered softly, laughing, which immediately excited An Xin.

With the Master saying this, she really held hope of surpassing them!

In fact, over these years, she had felt the changes in herself, and this transformation made her increasingly confident. Of course, she felt that all such transformations were gifts from her Master.

The master and disciple continued chatting this way as they headed back to the valley.

None of the disciples dared to disturb Gu An along the way, as they all knew of Ye Lan's death.

Four hundred and twenty years had passed, and seven to eight out of ten disciples in the valley had changed; the current disciples had initially entered the valley watching Ye Lan cultivate beside Gu An, and in their hearts, Ye Lan was not just an Uncle-Master but more like a Mistress.

When Gu An passed by Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, he turned around and walked towards a figure at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing this, An Xin did not follow but waited in place.

Jue Luo Sword Monarch stood in front of the stele, eyes closed, as if perceiving something.

Gu An came beside him and asked, "Did you feel it too?"

Jue Luo Sword Monarch opened his eyes and turned to pay his respects, his expression solemn, "I have seen that power before; they have invaded the universe many times."

Gu An looked up at the sky, "Do you think their arrival is related to that Divine Emperor?"

Jue Luo Sword Monarch frowned; he felt that Gu An was testing him.

With Gu An's cultivation level, his understanding of the universe definitely surpassed his own.

Having spent several hundred years in the Third Medicine Valley, he had gained deep insights and felt that the shackles of a higher realm were loosening. He credited this to Gu An's dojo, so he pondered every word from Gu An carefully.

"Perhaps, after all, your battle with him was too shocking. Even the Dao mourned, and the Divine Emperor came specifically to the Great Heavenly Spirit Land, seemingly in search of something," Jue Luo Sword Monarch responded thoughtfully.

Gu An indeed knew who the mysterious forces infiltrating this universe were.

Battle Court! Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

Founded by Long Zhan, but no longer dominated by the Dragon Clan!

The Annihilation God Emperor specifically came looking for Long Qing; Gu An didn't believe there was no connection to Battle Court.

He had annihilated the Annihilation God Emperor's incarnation, and naturally, the Annihilation God Emperor would react, which took more than four hundred years, a relatively slow response.

It is worth mentioning that Battle Court had crossed the Boundary Gate, and Gu An was curious why the Heavenly Spirit God did not stop them.

This group from Battle Court had high cultivation levels; their leader was none other than the Taoist Hidden Immortal in his perfect form, and the weakest among them also possessed the cultivation of Divine Thought True Immortal.

They were roaming the Silent Destruction Domain, far from the Great Heavenly Spirit Land, seemingly preparing to invade other Great Heaven and Earths first.

Jue Luo Sword Monarch took a deep breath, and cautiously said, "Senior, if you are the Sword Dao Saint Ancestor, please instruct us. I will summon Da Hong Sword Heaven to assist you in combating them!"

Sword Dao Saint Ancestor – that was Gu An's identity within the Lifespan Samsara and also Yang Xian's most prominent title.

Gu An replied, "What Sword Dao Saint Ancestor? You're thinking too much. I've just been to the Sword Dao River and mastered quite a few Sword Daos."

"Is that so?"

Jue Luo Sword Monarch didn't believe it; he too had visited the Sword Dao River, yet why couldn't he learn the Holy Heart Sword Dao?

He always believed his talent was not lacking; it was just that the Holy Heart Sword Dao rejected him.

Gu An patted his shoulder, "Once you surpass the Free Immortal Realm, you will see through everything."

With that, Gu An turned and left.

Jue Luo Sword Monarch had stayed in the Third Medicine Valley for many years, occasionally mentoring disciples. He had helped produce numerous Sword Dao geniuses for the Third Medicine Valley, and it was for this reason that Gu An was willing to mentor him.

He had already experienced the Reincarnation Tribulation and reached the ninth layer of the Free Immortal Realm, just one step away from a breakthrough.

Every time he saw Jue Luo Sword Monarch, Gu An would be reminded of Yang Ping'an.

That kid was equally arrogant, even daring to challenge his master.

Gu An felt that Yang Ping'an was still alive; after reaching the Luotian Freedom Immortal Realm, his causality deduction abilities transformed, allowing him to glimpse the Qi Fortune of Da Hong Sword Heaven through Jue Luo Sword Monarch's.

In that vast Qi Fortune, a figure was meditating in the deepest part, his Dao Level unfathomable.

Gu An couldn't directly determine that person's cultivation level, but from the figure, he felt it was very likely Yang Ping'an.

Jue Luo Sword Monarch paid his respects to Gu An's departing figure, pondering thoughtfully. He always felt that Gu An didn't take the Battle Court seriously.

He wanted to express how terrible the Battle Court was, but then he thought again, he had no idea how strong Gu An actually was.

The mighty Annihilation God Emperor was annihilated by him in one move; it was hard to say what would happen if Battle Court encountered him.

Thinking that Gu An might be the Sword Dao Saint Ancestor, he felt a fiery enthusiasm in his heart.

No!

The Saint Ancestor might not admit his identity, but he, as a junior, must act!

Jue Luo Sword Monarch raised his hand, a burst of green light erupted, followed by a blossoming ethereal green lotus.
