When I Achieved Sainthood, the Immortal Official Actually Called Me to Raise Horses!-Chapter 337: The Long River of Destiny

Chapter 337 The Long River of Destiny

[At age fifty-nine, your son Lu Qiuxian successfully formed his Foundation, earning great fame in the Dao Court’s Outer Sect. You were praised as well, and even the two companions who once transmigrated with you came to celebrate, leaving you overwhelmed by the twists of fate.]

[At age sixty, you successfully formed your Core.]

[At age sixty-three, your son Lu Qiuxian awakened the Supreme Treasure Body, shocking the Dao Court. He was accepted into the Inner Sect despite all protocols. The two of you parted ways from that moment on.]

Supreme Treasure Body?

Wasn’t that the very same physique as Tian Wuchang, the Divine Anomaly Wraith King?

Gu An felt a rush of anticipation for this round of reincarnation.

A life where the son rises to defy fate?

The next stages were focused on cultivation. Time passed.

[At age 172, you broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage. Just as you were sharing the news with your wife, Yuan Ling’er, terrible news arrived—your son Lu Qiuxian had fallen. His essence blood had been devoured. Yuan Ling’er fainted on the spot.]

[At age 173, you uncovered the truth: Lu Qiuxian was slain by the Crown Prince of the strongest Divine Empire of this era—a Dao Court True Legacy Disciple who had long since reached the Immortal Dao Realm. The difference in status was overwhelming. Lu Qiuxian’s master sighed, urging you to let it go.]

[At age 174, your wife Yuan Ling’er died in grief. After burying her, you left the Outer Sect of the Dao Court.]

[At age 176, you saved a group of mortals from danger. As you were leaving, an old man stopped you, saying your fate was extraordinary and that a turning point awaited. He offered to divine its location. Do you accept his reading?]

Yes!

Forget Lu Han—Gu An himself felt despair just reading this. The talent and techniques were too poor—how could Lu Han ever hope to take revenge?

[You accepted the old man’s offer. During his divination, his qi and blood surged chaotically, vomiting blood. Before collapsing, he gasped that your turning point lay in the Burial Immortal Ridge. After confirming he wasn’t seriously hurt, you set off.]

[At age 185, you reached Burial Immortal Ridge and learned it was a forbidden zone where even Immortals struggled to survive. Without hesitation, you stepped in.]

…

What followed were countless brushes with death. Gu An tensed up just reading it, afraid Lu Han would suddenly die.

[At age 192, you stumbled into a ruined cave. There, you found a stone stele covered in strange, complex carvings. While exploring, you accidentally triggered a mechanism and in the panic, bled on the stele. A mysterious power pulled you inside.]

[You entered the inner world of the Sacred Emperor of Heaven and Earth, meeting his remnant soul. After discussion, you formally became his disciple.]

[At age 200, under his guidance, you forged the Supreme Treasure Body, rejuvenating your flesh and restoring your appearance to that of a 20-year-old—scarless, but with snow-white hair.]

[At age 210, you broke through to the Transformation Stage.]

Finally, some good fortune!

Sacred Emperor of Heaven and Earth—he sounded strong just by name!

Gu An felt elated. Since he would inherit these reincarnation memories himself, he sincerely hoped this life wouldn’t be as tragic.

The years ahead were full of cultivation and breakthroughs.

At 250—Void Transformation Stage.

At 317—Integration Stage.

At 430—Profound Mind Realm.

[At age 431, your master called you forth. His remnant soul was fading. Before dispersing, he offered to help you evolve your body from Supreme Treasure Body to Supreme Dao Body—but warned it would come with unimaginable pain. Do you accept?]

Accept!

Gu An chose without hesitation.

[You accepted the Sacred Emperor’s help. After months of refinement, you forged the Supreme Dao Body, triggering universal phenomena in the Primordial Great Realm, and gained the divine ability: Supreme Dharmic Form.]

[At age 440, you left the sacred space and returned to the mortal world. In Burial Immortal Ridge, you were ambushed by an ancient Grand Ascension cultivator with a unique physique. You killed him across realms, devoured his essence, and grew stronger.]

In the next 50 years, Lu Han traveled the world hunting those with ancient physiques. He had failures and narrow escapes—but always survived.

To Gu An, Lu Han was starting to resemble Tian Wuchang. Maybe that was the fate of the Supreme Treasure Body.

At age 600, Lu Han faced a siege from multiple Nirvana Stage Grandmasters, triggered a heavenly tribulation mid-battle, and destroyed his enemies—ascending into the Immortal Dao Realm.

From then on, Lu Han’s path was truly invincible.

At 720, he found and killed the Divine Empire's Crown Prince, devoured his essence, and skyrocketed in power. The Emperor flew into a rage and issued a universal kill order.

On the run, Lu Han killed as he fled. Most of Gu An’s choices were simply: save or slay.

After many prompts…

Lu Han reached 10,000 years of age and stepped into the Roving Immortal Stage, becoming the number one genius of the era. However, he was ambushed by a Free Soaring Immortal, nearly dying—until a Dao Court elder saved him.

Returning to the Dao Court, Lu Han revisited old haunts and entered an enlightenment state, comprehending the power of time.

The Dao Court Master wanted to take him as a disciple. Gu An chose to accept.

Thus, Lu Han became the Dao Court’s True Inherited Disciple, crushing his peers, rejecting countless heaven-pride women, slaying demons and rescuing the suffering—gaining holy renown.

At 20,000, he reached Celestial Ascension Stage—the youngest in Dao Court history.

At 50,000, he became the youngest Free Soaring Immortal on record.

At 60,000, Lu Han stormed the Divine Empire alone. In front of the world's powerhouses, he killed the emperor and discovered Lu Qiuxian’s remains in the emperor's bone palace.

Gu An was completely absorbed in Lu Han’s legendary life. Unlike Long Zhan's domineering style, Lu Han was reckless and unrestrained—but still kind and just.

At 100,000, Lu Han devoured over a thousand treasure-bodied beings and forged the shocking Supreme Sacred Body.

At 200,000, he swept across the Primordial Great Realm, becoming a living myth.

At 250,000, he encountered a Tide of the Dao, comprehended the True Meaning of the Great Dao, and refined the Primal Causal Body.

At 300,000, he entered the Mystic Celestial Immortal Stage, returned to Earth, and found it desolate. He severed ties with his past, elevating his Dao Heart.

[At 430,000, you broke your shackles and reached the Dao-Void Celestial Immortal Stage, stunning the universe. You recovered your fate star. Do you wish to activate your Lifespan Seizure ability?]**

Given what happened with Long Zhan, Gu An hesitated—and chose No.

Don’t activate it!

Lu Han didn’t need it.

Because the ability wasn’t activated, Lu Han never changed personalities. Toward enemies, he was ruthless; to the innocent, he remained righteous. His holy name echoed across worlds.

At 500,000, he met the Ninth Heaven Immortal of the Dao—Grand Ancestor of Primordial Origin, who took a liking to him and granted him a title: Primordial Divine Emperor.

Finally, Lu Han broke into the Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Dao.

Gu An was presented with one last choice.

[At 830,000, you entered the Ninth Heaven. During enlightenment, you sensed the River of Fate. Do you step into it?]

Gu An hesitated.

The River of Fate didn’t sound simple. If he entered, he might grasp the Dao of Fate—something Gu An valued more than divine abilities or techniques.

But the unknown was always dangerous.

Even Long Zhan, who surpassed the Ninth Heaven, never saw this river.

After careful thought, Gu An chose Yes.

[You stepped into the River of Fate and entered a state of enlightenment.]

[You comprehended the Dao of Fate and used your fortune to resurrect your son, Lu Qiuxian—bestowing him the Primal Causal Body.]

[You tried to revive your wife—but her Dao level was too low, and she had long since reincarnated.]

[You were ambushed by Black Profound Emperor. In your final moments, you sent Lu Qiuxian to the river’s end.]

[You died by the Black Profound Emperor’s hand.]

[Reincarnation ends.]

F**!*

Black Profound Emperor again!

Gu An cursed, then stepped onto an overseas island and activated a Lifespan Barrier.

He sat down cross-legged. The vast memory of Lu Han’s life surged into his mind.

Reading it was one thing—but experiencing it was something else entirely.

Gu An closed his eyes—and quickly furrowed his brow.

After a while, his expression softened. A smile appeared.

He was reliving the joy of a family of three sticking together through everything.

Time passed swiftly.

An hour later—

Gu An returned to Gathering Flower Sect and sat at the table. The tea had gone cold.

He placed a hand on the table and closed his eyes again, carefully absorbing Lu Han’s Dao insights.

Though it ended tragically with Black Profound Emperor, stepping into the River of Fate wasn’t a mistake. Gu An now had profound insight into the Dao of Fate. He even shared Lu Han’s emotions when sending his son away.

Lu Han lived 800,000+ years, experienced everything, and died without regrets.

In the final battle, he still wounded Black Profound Emperor, leaving a scar above his left brow—a permanent mark.

Comparing both lifetimes, Gu An still couldn’t say for sure which was stronger: Silent Calamity Demon Lord faced by Long Zhan or Black Profound Emperor faced by Lu Han.

Neither of them were his match. Lu Han managed to land a blow only thanks to a special divine ability—and was still instantly killed afterward.

Gu An set aside his rage toward Black Profound Emperor for now, focusing instead on understanding the Dao of Fate.

The sun set, the moon rose.

He sat unmoving.

Three days later, the door opened. A wave of fragrant air entered the room, and Gu An’s eyes changed slightly.

“You’re here?” Jiang Qiong asked joyfully as she stepped up to the table, a smile she couldn’t hide brightening her face.

Gu An looked at her, his gaze returning to clarity. Just that one glance made her heart inexplicably tremble.

She didn’t know why, but Jiang Qiong suddenly felt that his mood was very low.

Her smile quietly faded.
