Gu An chose to join the Profound Clear Immortal Sect, hoping that Black Profound could follow the right path within the Profound Clear Immortal Sect. Excessive killing was not a good practice.
“You chose to join the Profound Clear Immortal Sect, and the lady in white was pleased. She then introduced you to the Profound Clear Immortal Sect, and during the conversation, you learned her name, Fairy Bai Xian. Under Fairy Bai Xian’s guidance, you successfully joined the Profound Clear Immortal Sect and officially entered the Profound Pure Great World.”
Profound Pure Great World?
Gu An pondered; he knew that the Great Thousand World was considered a whole universe, and the Celestial Spirit Great World had been part of the Great Thousand World before it shattered.
Not all Great Thousand Worlds were as fragmented as the Celestial Spirit Great World. How strong a complete Great Thousand World was, even Gu An could not judge now, for he had not witnessed it.
Alerts kept popping up in front of him as Fairy Bai Xian introduced Black Profound to her mentor, making Black Profound her junior brother.
In the years that followed, Black Profound no longer engaged in battles but practiced cultivation with his master and Fairy Bai Xian.
The more this happened, the more uneasy Gu An felt.
He had a feeling that something big would happen, something very significant!
Black Profound practiced in the Profound Clear Immortal Sect, spending hundreds of years as if he had forgotten the vengeance for Luo Abyss.
“At the age of one hundred and seventy-eight, the Profound Clear Immortal Sect welcomed a millennia Dao conference, with various teachings from all over the world coming to participate. You heard from Fairy Bai Xian that she admired a man known as Emperor Ziwei, a peerless prodigy. You secretly took note of this name, then inquired about Emperor Ziwei. When the millennia Dao conference began, you went above the Sea of Clouds and saw the elegance of Emperor Ziwei among many disciples. This sight made you lose interest in watching the spectacle, and you returned to your Cave Mansion to continue in seclusion.”
Then came various cultivation alerts.
Gu An couldn’t help but wonder what kind of elegance Emperor Ziwei possessed, one glance at whom had deeply affected Black Profound.
Emperor Ziwei used ‘Emperor’ in his name, and Black Profound later became the Black Profound Emperor. Could it be because of him?
“At the age of two hundred and fourteen, Fairy Bai Xian found you and said she was going out for training, expecting to be gone for at least a hundred years. You were worried about her and wanted to follow, but Fairy Bai Xian told you not to worry. Did you choose to insist on following Fairy Bai Xian?”
If it had been before, Gu An would definitely have chosen no, to avoid falling into a romantic entanglement with his Reincarnation Body.
But he remembered how Yang Xian had to bury his wife, and the two had never been together.
Perhaps, constantly preventing it might not be a good thing either.
And in this life, Black Profound also had a tough time with no family, no friends, and even his master had died.
Setting aside his prejudice against the Black Profound Emperor, Gu An decided to truly treat Black Profound as himself, treating everyone equally.
He chose to insist on following!
“You chose to insist on following Fairy Bai Xian. She looked at you, staring until you felt uneasy. Suddenly, she smiled and said you better not hold her back. Hearing this, a smile also appeared on your face, looking at your senior sister smiling like the bright moon in the sky, you secretly swore to protect her completely for life.”
“At the age of two hundred and fifteen, you followed Fairy Bai Xian to a sea, where you stopped on a deserted island. Fairy Bai Xian was preparing to collect herbs on the island, while you meditated on the beach. Later, Fairy Bai Xian chose to stay on the island, where she began practicing alchemy, and she would let you taste any elixirs she made.”
“At the age of two hundred and seventeen, you left the island and ventured further into the sea, where you encountered a human race sea ship surrounded by demon beasts. You chose to help, rarely encountering ownerless demons, unable to resist the urge to kill. Afterwards, Fairy Bai Xian cautioned you not to create too much slaughter. The Profound Clear Immortal Sect was not just a sect of the human race but also of all living beings without discriminating between races. You promised it wouldn’t happen again.”
Seeing Fairy Bai Xian admonishing Black Profound, Gu An felt that his decision was the right one.
Life Span could be considered as an aid and could be used in many ways, as long as one did not develop a killer instinct.
He felt that Black Profound would not give up on Life Span, but as long as there was some restraint, it was also a good thing.
Black Profound followed Fairy Bai Xian traveling around the world, treasure hunting, saving demons and people, exorcising ghosts, their journey brimming with excitement.
The two also encountered dangers and had been seriously injured, but luckily, they took care of each other and always managed to turn peril into safety. Fairy Bai Xian had saved Black Profound, and Black Profound had also saved her. All in all, nobody truly held the other back.
At 307 years old, you unexpectedly stumbled upon a battle for treasure where one party was none other than the Emperor Ziwei, whom Fairy Bai Xian admired. He fought alone against hundreds of strong Immortal Dao cultivators and ultimately defeated them. Fairy Bai Xian was amazed, and even you had to admit that Emperor Ziwei was truly powerful. After the battle ended, Emperor Ziwei approached you. He obviously recognized Fairy Bai Xian and wished to invite her to his dojo as a guest, but she politely declined. Emperor Ziwei then turned to you and extended the invitation. Would you choose to visit his dojo?
No!
Not going!
Gu An made his choice directly. He was somewhat displeased with Emperor Ziwei. Hadn’t he seen Black Profound walking with Fairy Bai Xian? Why interfere?
You chose to refuse the invitation to Emperor Ziwei’s dojo. Emperor Ziwei did not insist and soon left. You turned to Fairy Bai Xian, asking her why she did not go. Fairy Bai Xian looked at him and counter-questioned why they should go. You exchanged smiles, understanding each other without words.
At 308 years old, you came to the most magnificent mountain in the land, rumored to house an Immortal. Deciding to seek the Immortal, you began the ascent but found that you could not use your mana. You had to proceed up the mountain as mere mortals.
At 309 years old, after a year’s journey, you reached halfway up the mountain and saw a courtyard with an old man resting inside, holding a fan. Surprised, you recognized him as the old Daoist who had wanted to tell your fortune years ago. The Daoist also recognized you, and with a smile, he said it was finally time to meet, which intrigued Fairy Bai Xian. When she learned that you had met in the Lower Realm, it filled her with respect for the old Daoist. He did not say much more and threw two secret manuals onto the ground before returning alone to his house. You picked up the secret manuals from the ground and began to study them.

At 320 years old, after eleven years of cultivation, you finally perfected one of the Divine Skills. The old Daoist finally came out of his house, praising you for having a Destiny Pattern fit for an emperor’s path. However, you had suppressed your nature. This caused the still unskilled Fairy Bai Xian to be confused. Knowing the innate aggressiveness in your bones, Fairy Bai Xian fell silent, and you were also caught in a dilemma: whether to keep your promise not to kill or to follow the old Daoist’s advice and embark on the emperor’s path.
The hint stopped there.
Gu An did not hesitate, choosing to keep his promise and not kill.
Who persuades someone to start killing?
That old Daoist is fishy!
You chose to keep your promise to Fairy Bai Xian not to kill and not to follow the emperor’s path, making Fairy Bai Xian very happy. The old Daoist said you would regret your decision one day. His gaze made you uncomfortable, so you made an excuse, took Fairy Bai Xian’s hand, and bid your goodbyes.
At 321 years old, you and Fairy Bai Xian discovered the legendary Divine Beast, the Celestial Auspicious Deer, in the Forbidden Demon Forest. You received the blessing of the Celestial Auspicious Deer, enhancing your comprehension.
…
After surreptitiously being cursed by the old Daoist, Gu An was cautious and closely watched the hints, fearing Black Profound and Fairy Bai Xian might encounter danger.
Fortunately, they continued to encounter amazing adventures until they were over 500 years old, when both returned to the Profound Clear Immortal Sect and entered into seclusion.
The next five hundred years passed even quicker.
Yet, the event Gu An feared still occurred.
At 1347 years old, while in seclusion, you felt a terrifying pressure. You immediately left your Cave Mansion and saw the sky darken, forming a majestic vortex of clouds, and felt an oppressive atmosphere. Soon after, you saw a pair of eyes and then heard an authoritative voice claiming he was the God of Destruction from the Celestial Court, stating that there were unusual intrusions in this Great World that must be cleansed. As his voice fell and the earth shook, you immediately went to find Fairy Bai Xian. You managed to find her and wanted to take her to flee, but she decided to stand or fall with the Profound Clear Immortal Sect. You were caught in an inner struggle, wondering whether to stay and protect the Profound Clear Immortal Sect.
Celestial Court, God of Destruction!
Gu An frowned tightly — this God of Destruction might be a terrifying being like the Celestial Spirit God, and it seemed the Celestial Spirit Great World had shattered because of the Celestial Spirit God. How could the Profound Clear Immortal Sect resist such a terrifying entity?
But how could Black Profound flee and still face the Profound Clear Immortal Sect?
Forget it!
Might as well die together; consider the million-year lifespan wasted.
To embrace death with a loved one, even if life is short, insights can still be obtained.
You chose to stay and protect the Profound Clear Immortal Sect, which deeply touched Fairy Bai Xian. She seemed to think of something and pulled you flying to a place. On the way, you saw countless Great Cultivators from the Profound Clear Immortal Sect rushing toward the giant eye in the sky, only to be extinguished one after another. This sequence of events made you feel so insignificant.
Following Fairy Bai Xian’s lead, you discovered that you had come to the cave where you had first crossed into the Profound Pure Great World. Fairy Bai Xian explained that the reason she had recruited you into the Immortal Sect at first sight was that her deceased father had claimed that this cave held an Immortal Fate. Someone who had once saved the Profound Clear Immortal Sect had emerged from this Cave Mansion. She hoped you could return to your original world. You said you didn’t know how to go back when you saw Fairy Bai Xian pulling out a Jade Pendant.
You felt something was wrong and tried to snatch the Jade Pendant, but Fairy Bai Xian forcibly pushed you into the cave. She then threw the Jade Pendant after you into the cave. You felt a familiar and long-missed powerful force behind you. Looking back from afar, you saw Fairy Bai Xian at the cave entrance, her face filled with reluctance as she watched you.
