The mysterious Divine Immortal of Wondrous Dharma wandered in this Mortal World region, never stepping onto the continent where Gu An was located.
A day and a night later, he left.
Starting from the second day, rumors about the Great Cold Demon Sect being annihilated single-handedly by Sword Venerable Fudao spread like a hurricane across the seas, shocking the countless beings that were fleeing. Their first reaction was disbelief, as the news sounded too preposterous!
The world was in an uproar, and within the Supreme Sect, it was a time of celebration, with dazzling lights and decoration everywhere. Everyone was singing praises of Sword Venerable Fudao’s magnificent feats and mighty power.
This time, Sword Venerable Fudao’s rescue efforts had a wider reach than ever before. How could they not be proud?
They were unclear if there truly were Immortals who cared for the common folk in this world, but at least in their hearts, Sword Venerable Fudao was an Immortal who brought salvation to all living beings.
The day after the Divine Immortal of Wondrous Dharma left, Gu An quietly departed from the continent.
He headed south, moving away from the Mortal World region where the Supreme Sect was located.
Eventually, he arrived at a desolate sea, where the number of beings was extremely sparse. Whether deep within the sea or above its surface, numerous lost souls and Wild Ghosts floated about. The sky above this place was covered with dense, oppressive clouds, but the Spiritual Energy here was quite abundant.
After surveying the area with his Divine Sense, Gu An discovered an island deep within the ocean guarded by powerful Restrictions. If he were to break through forcefully, he would undoubtedly alert the entity within.
He speculated that a Carefree Primordial Immortal might be hiding inside because, although the Restrictions were strong, he felt it wouldn’t be difficult to break through if he wanted.
No wonder the Spiritual Energy was so abundant here, yet there were so few beings. It turns out a malevolent deity was hidden within.
Gu An landed on an uninhabited isolated island and immediately activated the Life Span Barrier.
Seven hundred and ninety million years of life span, the more he looked at it, the more invigorating it felt!
He had never been so affluent before!
Gu An sat cross-legged in front of a withered tree, looking at his Attribute Panel, chuckling to himself.
First, he would enjoy the moment for a while longer!
After a good while, Gu An then reigned in his emotions and decided to give Lifespan Samsara a try.
He would test the waters with ten million years. If this function turned out to be ineffective, he would dismiss it forever, just like the Life Span Deduction he had initiated before.
[You have spent ten million years of life span to trigger one Reincarnation Evolution]
[Beginning connection to Tao Rules]
[Searching for Reincarnation Heaven and Earth]
[You have the following Heaven and Earth options, choose any one]
[One, Great Heavenly Spirit Land]
[Two, Dark Great Heaven and Earth]
[Three, the Great Multiverse]
Hm?
There’s even a Great Heavenly Spirit Land?
Gu An thought if the Reincarnation Evolution reflected reality, could it be that it’s not just memory fusion, but it could also affect reality itself?
He wasn’t sure, so after some thought, he decided not to choose the Great Heavenly Spirit Land, to avoid any potential issues.
He was drawn to the Dark Great Heaven and Earth. The name sounded well suited for his Life Stealing Ability. Since it was Reincarnation Evolution, perhaps he would still possess his current Golden Finger.
That’s the one!
Dark Great Heaven and Earth!
[You choose to reincarnate into the Dark Great Heaven and Earth]
[Considering that the Tao Rules of this world cannot conceal your Talent, you will retain the Life Stealing Ability, but cannot unlock stage-specific functions]
[Reincarnation Evolution begins]
[In the first year, you were born in a village in the East Profound Domain, and your parents named you Chu Lu]
[At the age of seven, you accidentally pulled up a Spirit Grass in the mountains, stealing eight years of lifespan, marking a turning point in your destiny]
[At the age of eight, you took an Immortal Cultivator as a master and traveled the world with him]
[At fifteen, you encountered a Cultivator robbery. To protect you, your master died. You harbored a grudge, hid in the mountains, and began to accumulate life span]
[By eighteen, you evolved your Cultivation Level to the Nascent Soul Realm through Lifespan Evolution, and you began your revenge]
[At nineteen, you infiltrated the residence of your enemies, killing everyone until only one person remained—a girl. Seeing her fearful demeanor, you felt some reluctance and struggled internally]
[Do you choose to execute her?]
The prompt stopped here. Gu An paused for a moment, choosing not to execute her—joking aside, with his Life Stealing Ability, he certainly wouldn’t be hunted by this girl.
[You spared the girl, Cheng Jialan, and resumed your path of Immortal Cultivation]
Seeing this prompt, Gu An smiled. This girl, like his junior sister, also had “Lan” in her name.
The previous prompts had no names; it seemed the deceased don’t get named unless they survive.
Hold on, his parents and master were initially alive as well, but they were not named.
He suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be that this Cheng Jialan would live a long time?
[At twenty, you joined the Taiyi Sect, and with your exceptional Cultivation Level and Talent, you became a Direct Disciple, making a name for yourself within the Sect]
[At twenty-one, you utilized the Life Span Deduction Cultivation Technique to master the Seven Hearts Technique]
[At twenty-two, jealous of you, the Sect Leader’s son ambushed you while you were on a mission, surrounding you with his people. You executed all his followers, leaving only the Sect Leader’s son alive. He knelt before you, begging for mercy, and you hesitated]
[Do you choose to execute him?]
Kill!
Gu An didn’t hesitate, and the prompt continued to appear.
Killing men and sparing women? Seems like there’s something wrong with the standard, huh?
Gu An criticized himself internally.
Subsequently, the him in the reincarnation returned to the Taiyi Sect, faced continuous strife and enmity, and he always chose to kill, since it was others who provoked him.
Killing led to the unveiling of secrets, and he was pursued by the Taiyi Sect and even placed on a wanted list.
After that, almost every year, he was embroiled in battles; sometimes several times within a year.
Once, Gu An chose to save a wounded Cultivator he encountered by chance, only for that person to summon a large group of Cultivators to ambush him, intending to seize the Magic Artifact in his possession.
Angered, Gu An’s killing intent intensified.
One betrayal after another, jealousy, and feuds kept unfolding.
What an impressive turn of events!
Indeed, this was the Dark Great Heaven and Earth, and the world seemed excessively grim.
Over the first fifty years, Gu An encountered not a single kind-hearted Cultivator; he was fighting alone the entire time.
The most distressing part for him was that, in order to get back at him, his enemies extracted the souls of his family still in the mountain village and refined them into Resentful Ghosts to be embedded in Ghost Devices.
Furious, Gu An became even more ruthless in his subsequent choices, always responding to killing with killing.
His life span accumulated rapidly, and by fifty, he had reached the Cultivation Level of Loose Immortal Realm, becoming the East Profound Domain’s killing god.
[At the age of sixty-five, you encountered the girl you once spared, Cheng Jialan. She had now become a disciple of the Blue Sky Holy Sect, a renowned genius. She recognized you and was very grateful. You were moved by her attitude]
[At sixty-six, pursued by Cheng Jialan, you both became Daoist Friends]
[At sixty-seven, Cheng Jialan gave birth to a son and a daughter for you, and you cherished her even more]
[At sixty-eight, while you were cultivating, a wandering Carefree Primordial Immortal from the Blue Sky Holy Sect descended. He was known as the Black Profound Emperor and crushed you to death]
[Reincarnation ends]
What?
It’s over already?
Gu An nearly spit blood—for ten million years of life span, he only got sixty-eight years of life?
Black Profound Emperor!
Okay, very good!
Without giving Gu An time to ponder more, a vast array of memories flooded his mind, the life of Chu Lu, as if he had experienced it himself.
However, since it was Reincarnation Evolution, he didn’t feel the length during the assimilation process. It was like recalling past memories, recalling some experiences, a rather peculiar sensation.
Although he only lived for sixty-eight years in this life, Chu Lu improved a Cultivation Technique over his lifetime, and even evolved it into a Divine Skill that caused a sensation in both the past and the present.
Developed from the Seven Hearts Technique after numerous enhancements, it is now known as the Seven Divine Gold Bodies!
Seven Divine Gold Bodies, with an inherent Cultivation Technique. Once mastered, it forms seven souls, each equipped with Divine Skills, allowing him to resurrect even if killed.
In memory, getting crushed by the Black Profound Emperor wasn’t as straightforward; he resurrected six times in the Black Profound Emperor’s hands, but the result was the same…
The gap in Cultivation Level was too vast; his Teleportation Divine Power was unable to let him escape.
After assimilating the Seven Divine Gold Bodies, Gu An felt somewhat placated.
It is hard to say if the value of the Seven Divine Gold Bodies could match ten million years of life span, but it certainly was not something to be gained with just one or two million years of life span. The skill was extremely powerful, allowing Nascent Soul Realm Chu Lu to severely injure enemies of the second level of Wandering Immortal Realm, proving its strength.
Sigh, it was not enough perseverance.
Gu An realized that in Reincarnation Evolution, he could only make decisions at destiny’s turning points and couldn’t control his reincarnated self.
Thinking about it, didn’t this mean that all other worlds of Reincarnation also had their own thought processes?
Isn’t this also the case with Reincarnation in reality?
Ji Xiaoyu in this life was completely different from her previous life.
Gu An withdrew his thoughts, noticing that the ground was full of Spiritual Energy. This showed that Reincarnation Evolution also consumed real-world Spiritual Energy. Fortunately, he had changed locations to avoid affecting the Supreme Sect and the continent.
Time to get down to real business!
Today, he would break through a major realm!
Gu An accessed the Attribute Panel and poured twenty million years of life span into Physique.
Primordial Karmic Body advanced to Primordial Chaos Body, then ascended to Primordial Ultimate Body!
Awakening the Great Divine Power, the Primordial Chaos Grand Disc!
This Divine Skill was an amalgamation of attack, defense, and sealing abilities, larger and more formidable than regular Heaven and Earth Rules, possessing the might to crush Heaven and Earth Rules!
Gu An immediately trained this Divine Skill to Mastery Realm.
Vast Spiritual Energy surged into Gu An’s mind, and his consciousness entered a state of sudden enlightenment.
Primordial Ultimate Body and Primordial Karmic Body, although both named after ‘Primordial,’ had a huge disparity. By reaching Ultimate Body, one could easily see through Heaven and Earth Rules as well as cause and effect, exerting absolute suppression over the Primordial body type.
Although Gu An had not yet encountered a Primordial body type, he felt that Primordial must exist. After all, it was achieved through the elevation of his own body type, indicating that if the mortals of the Great Heavenly Spirit Land traced back their ancestry, they might very well be linked to ‘Primordial.’
He just did not know where Primordial was located.
As Gu An devoured the Spiritual Energy, the silent and gloomy sea stirred into a tempest, as a powerful Divine Sense swept across the sea.
Unfortunately, no matter how much it searched, it could not find Gu An.
An Ancient Hour later, Gu An finally opened his eyes, and his physique was completely transformed into a Primordial Ultimate Body.
His current strength had reached a terrifying level, and the sensation of power was exceedingly delightful.
He even wanted to find someone to test his newfound strength against.
Fortunately, he resisted the urge.
Cannot drift away!
Chu Lu was too overconfident, killing throughout his path, only to be crushed to death by a Cultivator several major realms above…
Gu An looked at the Cultivation Technique section.
Primordial Chaos Supreme Holy Skill and All Things Form and Energy Art were each worth twenty million years of life span.
The reason he only used twenty million years of life span was that he started to covet the function that would unlock with a billion years of life span.
