Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 758 - 750 The Meaning of Reincarnation
Chapter 758 -750 The Meaning of Reincarnation
It’s finally over!
Gu An looked at the last prompt, feeling emotional in his heart.
But regarding Gu Xuan’s feelings before his death, he felt a bit uneasy.
The Heavenly Dao Destiny that far surpassed the Celestial Dao Venerable, why did it sound so much like the Celestial Emperor?
The Celestial Emperor had been in seclusion for many years, creating billions of reincarnation bodies was normal, thinking about it carefully, as long as Taihao was there, they could always escape from the siege of the Immortal Gods.
As Gu An was contemplating, a vast and boundless memory flooded into his mind. He didn’t move or activate the Life Span Barrier. Although the inherited memories would absorb spiritual energy, the Celestial Spirit Great World had long since transformed; the nature’s spiritual energy far surpassed the past, making a little commotion wasn’t an issue.
Moreover, even if the beings of the Celestial Spirit Great World came nearby, they would be unable to perceive his existence with the naked eye.
In the process of integrating the memories, Gu An walked once again through Gu Xuan’s memories. Compared with the previous cycles of reincarnation, Gu Xuan’s life experiences were different from others. Born of the Profound Abyss Fruit, he was insensitive to time, and his concepts and cognitions were above the Human World.
Gu Xuan’s innate divine ability, the Profound Abyss Yin-Yang Shield, was very powerful. It formed a protective qi with the Profound Abyss Qi and the Path of Yin and Yang. This qi could counteract enemy attacks and allow him to traverse space, a divine skill for both offense and defense.
The Other Shore Heavenly God Skill taught by the Other Shore Emperor was also a remarkable creation. The Other Shore Emperor himself admitted that it was by obtaining this skill that he opened up the Other Shore Heaven, and its name originated from this skill.
Whether it was the Profound Abyss Yin-Yang Shield or the Other Shore Heavenly God Skill, both were worth over a billion years of life span, making this cycle’s lifespan reincarnation quite profitable.
Compared with these, Gu An was more concerned about Taihao.
When he first saw Taihao, he didn’t think much of it, but after integrating the memories and looking back, he felt a bit dazed.
Taihao looked too much like An Hao, but had more imposing mannerisms than An Hao, possessing an invincible air.
During the days fighting side by side with Taihao, Gu Xuan was often astounded by Taihao. It was because of Taihao that he fought desperately to become stronger. However, no matter how many years of life span he invested in his evolution, Taihao always remained unfathomable.
Their first confrontation ended in a draw, but Gu An felt that Taihao had deliberately held back, fearing that he would be discouraged.
The final battle, though, forced Taihao to go all out, and it was undeniable that Taihao was exceedingly strong.
Even though it was the Nine Heavens True Dragon Qi, Gu Xuan’s achievements were far inferior to Taihao’s.
Even as Gu An looked back now, he felt that Taihao’s strength at that time was unimaginable; within the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal Realm, it was hard to imagine anyone defeating him.
This further confirmed to him that Taihao was indeed the Celestial Emperor’s reincarnation body!
Getting entangled with the Celestial Emperor was not a good thing, but the lifespan reincarnation could isolate cause and effect. If the Celestial Emperor could deduce his existence, he would have already found him, considering that Gu Xuan and Taihao were in the past.
Wait a minute!
Could it be the Celestial Emperor’s means that brought An Hao before him?
No, if that was the case, the Celestial Emperor could have appeared long ago. Moreover, An Hao had gone through many twists and turns before appearing to him. He was handed over to the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable by Emperor Ziwei, and then brought to the Celestial Spirit Great World by the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable. If the Celestial Emperor was behind the scheme, why go to such trouble?
Gu An felt that his ability to manipulate life span was very strong and that it likely had greater causal power than the Celestial Emperor’s.
He did not dwell on this issue because no matter what, the events had already transpired, and his past with An Hao could not be erased. Instead of agonizing over the past, it was better to think about the future.
Gu Xuan’s life gave him many insights. So many great powers made the Great Dao of All Heavens seem much richer. Many beings no longer existed, but their existence proved the profoundness of the Great Dao of All Heavens.
The Supreme Sect Master, who lectured in the Endless Dao Mountain, made him feel that his cultivation level perhaps surpassed the Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal.
In addition, during that battle in the Celestial Court, he saw the figure of a fierce demon who wreaked havoc in the Celestial Court. Although the demon’s cultivation was not as high as his, it could be confirmed that the demon was definitely a Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal.
Nine out of ten, the demon had just entered the Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal realm, believing itself invincible on its path, and thus fought its way to the Celestial Court.
If it didn’t have such cultivation, it wouldn’t have been able to break into the Celestial Court. For a powerful figure like a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal trying to forcefully break into the Celestial Court, those Celestial Dao Venerables, Supreme Immortals would definitely intervene, never giving the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal the chance to break in. Of course, even if a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal couldn’t break in, escaping while besieged by Immortal Gods would not be difficult.
That fierce demon could have escaped, but chose to fight to the death, likely bearing a deep blood vendetta, with killing intent heavier than Gu Xuan’s.
The posture of standing alone against billions of Immortal Gods left a deep impression on Gu An.
Gu An opened his eyes, the ocean in front of him churned incessantly. In the distance, he saw the silhouettes of cultivators exploring; no one could perceive him.
He didn’t get up immediately. Instead, he raised his right hand, and strands of black qi emerged from his palm, followed by white qi. The black and white qi intertwined, seemingly following some kind of pattern.
Profound Abyss Yin-Yang Shield!
This divine skill, having been continuously evolved by Gu Xuan, had reached an extremely profound level. Even compared to the divine skills Gu An currently mastered, it was top-tier, only the Absolute Void Eye could barely surpass it.
Just mastering the Other Shore Heavenly God Skill and Profound Abyss Yin-Yang Shield, Gu Xuan could already conquer the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
Originally, Gu An planned to undergo more lifespan reincarnations to celebrate breaking the trillion-year lifespan mark, but just Gu Xuan’s life made him feel pained; he didn’t want to undergo lifespan reincarnation again.
He decided to rest for a few million years first.
Gu An stood up and walked towards the Daoist Field of the Beginningless. In one step, he arrived at the edge of the Daoist Field of the Beginningless. Following his usual habit, he admired the scenery along the way.
The mountain was still the same mountain, but the flowers and plants on it were constantly changing. Some seemed no different from the past, but had long since undergone a cycle of new and old replacement.
As he walked, Gu An was still reminiscing about Gu Xuan’s life.
Gu Xuan was different from other reincarnation bodies. Though he performed heroic deeds, he had no humanity. He resembled an immortal, thinking differently from the mortal spirits.
When faced with Yan Yuexi’s persuasion, he could decisively sever his emotions. He didn’t fear hardship or loneliness, always determined to accomplish what he believed in. Compared to personal gain, he cared about his own path and the meaning of his existence.
Seeking revenge against the Immortal Gods, aside from obsession, was also to find his own value.
He was born from the Profound Abyss Ancient Tree, with no parents, and the tree itself had not become sentient. He was a creation of the Heavenly Dao, not knowing his origin or his destiny.
During the billions of years he was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, he kept pondering why he existed.
These thoughts had now all been transmitted into Gu An’s mind.
What is the meaning of reincarnation?
Gu An also pondered this question.
The Great Dao could create new life, there was no need for souls to be reborn repeatedly.
“Master!”
A voice called out. Sin appeared out of thin air before Gu An. He excitedly said, “Master, I’ve created a divine skill, please take a look and evaluate it?”
As he spoke, he raised his right hand. Small vines grew from his palm, quickly forming a tree, then branching and leafing out.
