The Reincarnation inheritance had ended.
When Gu An opened his eyes, the sky had darkened. He looked up to see the night sky sparkling with stars, making him feel as if a lifetime had passed.
The memories from Black Profound Emperor’s million-year reincarnation had completely merged into his soul; it was as if he had truly lived through those million years.
Dark Great World, Profound Pure Great World, Path of the Great Dao, Land of Reincarnation…
He had truly become the Black Profound Emperor, the two merging into one.
The so-called Reincarnation Body is actually just the same soul, merely manifesting under different Dao Rules. A Reincarnation Body can kill another Reincarnation Body, but it cannot kill the Primordial Soul. If the Primordial Soul perishes, all Reincarnation Bodies will cease to exist.
It seemed that Black Profound Emperor realized this, which is why he stopped releasing Karma Avatars.
As to whether Black Profound Emperor could differentiate if he was the Primordial Soul, Gu An couldn’t judge. But in fact, for a Reincarnation Body, it doesn’t matter whether it is the Primordial Soul or not, as it does not affect the Reincarnation Body’s ability to live. The Primordial Soul could even become a reliance for the Reincarnation Body.
God of Destruction had Black Profound Emperor destroy all other Reincarnation Bodies just so he could escape all karmic ties and then possess a body to evade the Celestial Court’s pursuit.
Regrettably, what God of Destruction didn’t understand was that Black Profound Emperor’s Reincarnation Body operated differently from what he perceived as reincarnation.
Gu An’s Lifespan Reincarnation was not bound by the Dao Rules; no one could therefore infer his Reincarnation Body and Primordial Soul through Black Profound Emperor.
This life, Black Profound Emperor had helped Gu An understand the Great Thousand World, Path of the Great Dao, and Land of Reincarnation, even revealing to him other paths of cultivation.
Daoist Emperor!
The Daoist Emperor is a branch in the Path of Cultivation, anchored in the Great Dao, obtaining the power of the Great Dao at an earlier realm, becoming an existence that realms cannot measure.
To become a Daoist Emperor, one must gain the acknowledgment of the Great Dao, an exceedingly arduous task. Black Profound Emperor also became a Daoist Emperor through the inheritance left by the Evil Emperor.
The world established by the Great Dao is truly boundless; even an Innate Golden Immortal is not enough to comprehend the true essence of the Great Dao.
Footsteps approached from behind, interrupting Gu An’s thoughts.
Shen Zhen came and sat in front of him, curiously asking, “What’s wrong? You’ve been here al day and night.”
She had watched for a long time and approached only after seeing Gu An slightly move.
Gu An turned his head to look at her and smiled, “Naturally, I am comprehending the natural order of the universe.”
Seeing the smile on his face, Shen Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. She took out a painting scroll, then unfurled it. It depicted Gu An’s silhouette, looking so somber, radiating a morose and eerie aura of death.
“This is a painting I made of you earlier. During the process, I saw some visions…” Shen Zhen said cautiously.
This piqued Gu An’s interest. Could she have seen his Reincarnation memories?
“What did you see?” Gu An asked with a smile, his smile also easing Shen Zhen’s nervousness.
Previously, Gu An’s silhouette had brought immense pressure on Shen Zhen, instinctively terrifying her. If it weren’t for her relationship with Gu An, she really wouldn’t have dared to approach.
Shen Zhen hesitated for a moment, then said, “I saw many visions, all fragments, but quite…”
“Quite what?”
“Quite shocking. The events and enemies you encountered are beyond what I could have ever imagined.”
Shen Zhen replied, thinking of the God of Destruction’s form and couldn’t help but shudder.
Who wouldn’t despair when faced with such an existence?
She thought again about Gu An’s parting with Fairy Bai Xian, and when she saw Fairy Bai Xian again, that aloof and lofty demeanor made her sympathize with Gu An.
No wonder so many beauties threw themselves at Gu An, yet he remained indifferent. It turned out he had already experienced a deeply memorable love.
Listening to her thoughts, Gu An guessed the scenes she had glimpsed. Although they were fragments, the fact that she could see them proved her talent for understanding the Way of Cause and Effect.
It wasn’t just the Way of Cause and Effect; perhaps Shen Zhen could also glimpse into the Path of Reincarnation and the Way of Fate.
Gu An pretended to be serious, “Those things you’ve seen, aside from those about me, don’t talk about them, and certainly don’t draw them, to avoid trouble.”
Shen Zhen nodded. She wasn’t foolish; how could she dare to draw the God of Destruction, whom even Gu An couldn’t defeat?
Looking at Gu An’s face, Shen Zhen felt that he was also carrying a burden, facing enemies he couldn’t overcome.
Perhaps Gu An had come to hide in the Celestial Spirit Great World just to avoid these formidable beings.
For the first time, Shen Zhen felt a strong desire to become stronger.
Although she was unclear about what exactly had transpired between Gu An and that woman, seeing her lofty look down on Gu An infuriated Shen Zhen.
One day, she would accompany Gu An to take revenge!
After all, she had no attachments in this life and was only following Gu An to cultivate; from now on, Gu An’s enemies were her own!
Hearing her thoughts, Gu An couldn’t help but laugh and cry, but he was, of course, somewhat touched.
It was not in vain that he had brought her to the dojo.
“I will pass on to you a divine skill that will aid you in better understanding the Dao. Do you want to learn it?” Gu An looked at Shen Zhen with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhen’s eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly.
“This skill is profound and mysterious; it won’t show effects in just a year or two. Be mentally prepared,” Gu An cautioned.
Shen Zhen replied, “In this dojo, I’m in no rush.”
Gu An was amused, then proceeded to impart the Daoist Unique Venerate Skill of the Black Profound Emperor to Shen Zhen.

The Daoist Unique Venerate Skill was originally taught by the Immortal without Dao to the Black Profound Emperor, but the Black Profound Emperor had enhanced it, making it even stronger. Gu An guessed that the Black Profound Emperor had utilized lifespan evolution, which was why the Immortal without Dao, despite pursuing him, couldn’t defeat him.
The Daoist Unique Venerate Skill of the Black Profound Emperor had surpassed that of the Immortal without Dao.
The Daoist Unique Venerate Skill was a complete Daoist Technique, including Divine Skills, Spells, Evasion Techniques, and Formations, among others. Once Shen Zhen inherited the Daoist Unique Venerate Skill, she could cease cultivating other Daoist Techniques.
With so many Reincarnation memories merged, Gu An mastered countless Daoist Techniques, and the Daoist Unique Venerate Skill was definitely one of the top tier.
Perhaps the Black Profound Emperor’s talent was not as great as that of Yang Xian, nor his combat ability, but his opportunities were quite extraordinary.
Gu An didn’t pass it orally but raised his hand, his fingers pressing on Shen Zhen’s forehead.
Shen Zhen’s eyes widened as she stared intently at Gu An, a strange light flickering in her eyes. Soon, she entered a state of Enlightenment.
The moon set, and the sun rose.
Morning sunlight spilled over Shen Zhen, who suddenly opened her eyes, staying frozen in place. Then, instinctively looking around, when she saw Gu An stretching near a cliff not far away, she finally sighed in relief.
The Daoist Unique Venerate Skill was vast and boundless, and just the inheritance of cultivating memories made Shen Zhen feel as if she had traversed a vast sea, thus waking up with a feeling of panic as if facing a transformed world.
She stood up and walked to Gu An’s side, about to speak, but then heard Gu An say, “This skill, I impart to you alone; you must not pass it on.”
Hearing this, a smile bloomed on Shen Zhen’s face, lifting her spirit completely.
