Chapter 590: Chapter 583: A New Reincarnation
Seeing Ji Xiaoyu not answering, simply gazing ahead lost in thought, the Sun and Moon Nether Emperor could roughly guess what she was thinking. He said softly, “The one who previously eradicated the external forces should be him. Since he is still around, perhaps we can better integrate into the Celestial Spirit Great World. Why be so stubborn?”
He knew about the pride inherent in the Reincarnation Dao Emperor; he used to support her.
But now…
Gu An was simply too strong!
So strong that the Sun and Moon Nether Emperor felt it was a pity not to cling to his coattails.
No matter how one looked at it, encountering Gu An was the greatest opportunity for both the Reincarnation Dao Emperor and the entire Yin Yang Immortal Domain.
…
Ji Xiaoyu still did not respond, and seeing this, the Sun and Moon Nether Emperor could only sigh and turn to leave.
He had just turned around when Ji Xiaoyu’s voice drifted over, “Tell them, I agree too.”
Hearing this, the Sun and Moon Nether Emperor turned his head back in surprise, bowed to Ji Xiaoyu once more, and then immediately vanished on the spot.
Ji Xiaoyu looked into the distance, murmuring softly to herself, “When will I ever catch up to you?”
No one answered her, but she didn’t need an answer.
Her thoughts scattered, drifting back many years.
Back then, Gu An was still young, but his eyes were different from those of the other children in the residence.
…
Time flowed gently.
A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
Battle Court treasures officially began a golden era in the Human World, with the first Battle Court supreme treasure unearthed, sparking a struggle among many powerful beings. Fortunately, more treasures appeared soon after, making the contention less brutal.
Every Sect in the Human World started pursuing these treasures. The number of Battle Court relics exceeded the number of Human World Cultivators, after all, the Great Thousand World had just been reshaped, and the Human Race was not yet widespread across the entire world.
The Qiankun Sect too joined in this trend, with An Xin often bringing news back to the Dojo, stirring up excitement amongst the others. Unfortunately, Gu An did not allow them to go out.
Gu An’s attitude serene them down, indicating that the treasures outside did not catch his eye.
After reaching the Heaven-Opening Daluo Immortal, Gu An’s Dao Intent strengthened, allowing the Dojo’s disciples to perceive even more.
The Blood Prison Great Saint had already broken through to the Wandering Immortal Realm first. His talent was not lacking—before Nirvana, he was also at the limit of nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine years of Life Span. In the Dojo, only the Celestial Demon Child could match him in talent.
In this millennium, the Yin Yang Immortal Domain descended upon the Celestial Spirit Great World. Gu An saw the Dao Court negotiate with it, eventually coming to some agreement, and allocated a portion of the edge of the Great World for the Yin Yang Immortal Domain to settle.
After returning to the Celestial Spirit Great World, Ji Xiaoyu didn’t visit the Supreme Sect, nor did she establish any relationship with the Ji Family.
Gu An could hear Ji Xiaoyu’s heart; she often thought of him, but she had a strong competitive spirit in her bones. She wanted to stand on equal footing with Gu An.
To this end, Gu An could only respect her.
He couldn’t have everything in the world develop according to his wishes, and Ji Xiaoyu’s way of thinking made him look forward to it.
He had protected many people; it was rare for someone not to rely on him, and it made him curious.
Miss Third, keep it up.
No matter how hard you try, you will never catch up to me!
Gu An thought proudly, his gaze drifting to the distant sky, where there was a Barrier. Inside the Barrier, Lv Xian and Chen Chuan were sparring again.
Though there were millennium-long Combat rituals, these two always sparred privately. Their relationship was excellent; Gu An did not interfere.
In a previous life, Xiaochuan was just a low-level member of the Supreme Sect. Lv Xian was the first genius of the Sect he had looked up to and envied. Now, they had become the best of brothers—truly, fate made fools of people.
No, it should be said that destiny is wonderfully inexplicable.
Gu An watched for a while, then turned his gaze in another direction.
Xiaochuan and Lu Jiujia had already reincarnated into the Celestial Spirit Great World, and Ye Lan was soon to follow.
Ye Lan bore the Dao Destruction Destiny Seal, and Gu An could feel her progressing along the Path of Reincarnation, drawing closer and closer to the Celestial Spirit Great World.
Reincarnation is complex, and being reborn could lead one to any other Great World, but the world of one’s birth had a certain pull on the being, ensuring that they would always return to their own Great Thousand World.
From afar, Gu An saw Ye Lan’s soul and the seventeen lifetimes before her.
Due to practicing the Innate Reincarnation Skill, Ye Lan would awaken memories of her past lives each time. She would continue to practice the Innate Reincarnation Skill, accumulating Cultivation Level, which made her talent higher in every life.
Perhaps it was because of the memories of past lives, but she always died alone, never married. Yet, every time she was on her deathbed, she was happy, thinking that in the next life she would meet Gu An.
Dying with longing, reborn with confusion—that was her Reincarnation.
Watching Ye Lan’s past life experiences moved Gu An.
This silly girl…
Regardless, Ye Lan had finally come back.
Gu An had already deduced where she would be reincarnated. He stood up, gave a few instructions to An Xin, and then disappeared from the spot.
He arrived at a vast continent, a land even larger than the Tai Cang Continent, with imperial dynasties and innumerable sects established.
It is worth mentioning that this place fell under the jurisdiction of the Dao Court.
Gu An appeared in a mountainous forest and started walking in a certain direction. Along the way, he had already calculated the destiny of Ye Lan in this life.
After seventeen lifetimes of accumulation, the Innate Reincarnation Skill would grant Ye Lan an exceptional talent, which destined her life to be extraordinary and would also bring her into cause and effect with the Dao Court.
Gu An was not afraid of trouble. He decided Ye Lan should have a smooth and comfortable life this time, without undergoing any hardships.
Thinking of the Dao Court, Gu An also remembered Lu Han, a former Reincarnation Body, who also had grievances with the Dao Court in his lifetime.
Of course, these two Dao Courts were not the same entity.
In the vast multitude of the Great Thousand Worlds, there were many forces bearing the name of Dao Court.
No matter which branch of the Dao Court it was, the fact that they bore the Dao in their name was enough to prove their ambition.
After walking some distance, Gu An saw a mountain villa. The cultivators in this villa were only at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Since they had no hope of advancing in immortal cultivation, they retreated from the secular world to live an ordinary life.
Gu An’s demeanor suddenly became subdued. His magical treasures vanished, and he changed into simple black clothing, with the Cyan Hong Sword and White Spirit Sword hanging at his waist. Although his appearance did not change, he instantly transformed from Immortal to mortal, like a martial hero from the Martial World.
He approached the gate of the mountain villa and knocked on the door.
It took a dozen or so breaths before someone came to open it. The door was opened by a young servant, who cautiously assessed Gu An and asked, “Can I help you?”
Gu An smiled and said, “My name is Gu An, a wanderer of the world, and I would like to request lodging for a few days. Can you pass the message along? I won’t stay for free.”
The young servant wanted to refuse, but after hearing Gu An’s offer, he hesitated for a moment and said, “Wait here!”
Clang!
The door was closed again.
The mighty Heaven-Opening Daluo Immortal stood closed out by mortals.
Gu An found it amusing. He didn’t feel insulted at all; after all, this villa would be Ye Lan’s home in the future.
After a while, the door opened again, and Gu An was welcomed in.
Sunlight poured down, shining on the courtyard wall beside it. In the cracks of the wall, green sprouts began to emerge, growing faster and faster.
By the time the entire courtyard wall was covered with weeds and vines, eighteen years had passed.
The door opened, and a girl in yellow clothes stepped out quickly, followed by Gu An.
The girl in yellow looked sixteen or seventeen, with delicate features and a lively figure. Her long hair was tied into two braids draped over her shoulders. After stepping down from the steps, she turned around to look at Gu An.
“Brother Gu, where shall we go play today? I heard there’s a demon haunting nearby; let’s go catch it,” the girl in yellow asked expectantly, her face brimming with the radiant smile of youth, like the bright morning sun.
Gu An looked at her and cast Life Span Detection.
[Xiao Lan (Qi Cultivation Realm Third Layer): 17/160/9999]
Her maximum life span had finally risen to nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years!
Xiao Lan was born with a life span limit of seven thousand years. Over the years, Gu An used his own Dao Intent to aid her Enlightenment in her dreams, up until this day.
Everything was so coincidental.
Today, Xiao Lan was to encounter a turning point in her life.
Gu An wore a smile, which made Xiao Lan blush.
She glared at Gu An and asked, “Brother Gu, why aren’t you speaking? Are you thinking…”
She hadn’t finished her words when she suddenly sensed something and turned around sharply.
Looking down the mountain path, she saw a woman in white clothes coming from the forest. Her cold and beautiful face, along with the long zither on her back, made her seem like a fairy walking through the woods, stunning Xiao Lan, who had always stayed within a hundred miles of the area.
The woman in white’s gaze fell on Xiao Lan. Her eyes were calm, but such calm only lasted for two breaths. Then, her pupils dilated suddenly, and in almost an instantaneous movement, she appeared in front of Xiao Lan and grabbed her right wrist.
“What are you doing?”
Xiao Lan cried out in shock, trying to shake off the woman’s hand, but it was futile.
The woman in white stared at her intently, muttering to herself, “Such a constitution… is rare in the world…”
Gu An did not intervene, amused by the scene.
This woman possessed the cultivation level of a Wandering Immortal Realm. She would be Xiao Lan’s first teacher, leading her onto the path of immortal cultivation.
Gu An suddenly felt very gratified.
Vast seas had turned into mulberry fields, the world had changed, and the Human World was indeed a different scenery.
Fortunately, the sun, moon, and stars still existed, and she was also right in front of his eyes.
