Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Chapter 837: Chapter 829: Gu An’s Pursuit

Seeing the Holy Court captured, Gu An saw the outcome.

But ending life with this result isn’t too bad. At least this lifetime has been exciting enough.

The Celestial Dao Venerable demanded Ji surrender, or he would annihilate the beings of the Taiwei Great World. The unyielding Ji hesitated, and Gu An made the decision for him.

Agree to compromise!

When prompted, Ji laid down his Divine Weapon, enraging Taihao greatly. No matter how much Taihao tried to persuade, Ji refused to take up the Divine Weapon. Taihao declared their brotherhood severed, then went out to fight alone, leaving Ji surrounded by Immortal Gods.

The Celestial Emperor truly knows how to play.

Gu An felt Ji must be extremely upset; Ji never thought Taihao was the Celestial Emperor all along.

Ultimately, Ji was suppressed by the Celestial Dao Venerable. Due to his Vajra Undying Body, the Celestial Court cast him into the Heavenly Prison to endure endless torment.

Seeing Ji not killed, Gu An speculated it had something to do with Taihao.

Unexpectedly, this lifetime hadn’t yet reached its end.

Gu An continued to watch, perhaps like Guxuan You, Ji would escape the Heavenly Prison and cause havoc in the Celestial Court once more.

During those years of suppression, Ji began comprehending the Extreme Dao Combat Technique. His technique grew stronger, and Gu An guessed the lifespan he stole from enemies in the past was unused until now, possibly relating to the destiny of the Extreme Battle Emperor.

Regardless of the reason, after enduring suppression for a hundred billion years, Ji forcibly broke through the Great Realm, reaching the Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal stage. A terrifying Celestial Tribulation shattered the prison restrictions, allowing him to escape. Pent-up for a hundred billion years, his combat intent soared, astonishing the heavens and gods alike, causing cosmic phenomena across the Three Thousand Great Worlds, Great Dao Domain, and the Underworld.

Ji then displayed his expertise, battling while Crossing the Tribulation, using heavenly thunder to fight.

Under normal circumstances, one should not be disturbed during the tribulation. If mana and Qi-Blood go chaotic, it might lead to demonic possession, followed by being obliterated by heavenly thunder.

But Ji seemed unafraid of this, even showing the same in previous lifespans.

With the cultivation level of Xuan Qi Primordial Immortal, even the Celestial Dao Venerable wasn’t his match. Gu An saw in one prompt he punched a Celestial Dao Venerable to pieces, scaring all the Immortal Gods to retreat.

Unfortunately, the foundation of the Celestial Court far exceeded Ji’s imagination.

A colossal hand traversing ages attacked. Ji was unprepared; the first strike made him lose his cultivation level, the second disintegrated his soul, body, and spirit.

Reincarnation ends here!

Gu An closed his eyes, beginning to inherit Ji’s memories.

The surrounding Spiritual Energy surged towards him, but the dojo’s plentiful Spiritual Energy merely stirred waves, not alarming the other disciples.

The Daoist Field of the Beginningless had long expanded, with a special area for Crossing the Tribulation. The disciples were used to any disturbances.

Experiencing Ji’s life truly, Gu An sensed a freedom other Reincarnation Bodies had never had, even describing it as carefree.

Ji traversed the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, ventured to the past, battled the future, reaching utmost pleasure. Most of his battles were crushing victories, with rare injuries in his life.

This was the longest reincarnation Gu An had experienced, unlike other Reincarnation Bodies who loved to cultivate in seclusion. Ji’s life, always on the move, was far richer than others.

The Taihao encountered in this life wasn’t much weaker than the one Guxuan You met. While causing havoc in the Celestial Court, this Taihao displayed extremely fearsome power, even alarming Cangtian.

Cangtian, the will of the Heavenly Dao, Gu An had heard of before but felt its power for the first time.

That power belonged to the Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao; Gu An could confirm Cangtian was the Tongxuan Venerable Spirit of the Celestial Emperor.

Yet Cangtian appeared and vanished quickly, not affecting the battle, leaving a deep impression on Ji.

Once the memory inheritance was complete, Gu An opened his eyes, his gaze not so complex.

After experiencing Ji’s life, he had no regrets; even dying in battle felt exhilarating.

This life had enough battles and joy.

Ji had hardly ever felt wronged, even facing death, he bore it with pride.

Although he never saw Shengtian in the end, Gu An was not worried, for Shengtian was indeed Zhu Xi. If it were Zhu Xi, with Gu An present, she couldn’t possibly die.

“Extreme Battle Emperor, Emperor Ji, why do they seem stronger than my Primordial Dao Emperor?”

Gu An murmured to himself, unable to hold back a smile.

The Extreme Battle Emperor was the pinnacle of the combat path, whereas the Primordial Dao Emperor was not just about combat but also comprehending the mysteries of Reincarnation.

The Extreme Battle Emperor was more suited for battle, while the Primordial Dao Emperor for cultivation, each having their strengths.

What truly intrigued Gu An were the worlds Ji had visited.

Some places seemed not to belong to the Heavenly Dao, could they be Chaos?

These unheard-of worlds fueled Gu An’s anticipation for the Great Dao. Reaching the edge of the Great Dao and one’s limits too early would be dull, wouldn’t it?

Than simple human desires, Gu An anticipated and pursued grander things.

He wished to become an invincible one like the Celestial Emperor but would not be content with just that.

Remembering Taihao, Gu An strangely hoped the Celestial Emperor would grow stronger to make eternal years more enjoyable for him.

More than that, Gu An was interested in an opponent Ji defeated.

That person’s growth rate was absurd, meeting Ji twice; the first time when Ji was merely a Daoist Zang Zizai Immortal, and the second when Ji had become a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal, each encounter had them at the same realm.

Which was remarkable, considering Ji’s growth rate was already very fast, almost absurd, only the Celestial Emperor in reincarnation could keep up.

Gu An couldn’t help but wonder if someone similar to him was growing secretly, unknown to anyone?

It couldn’t just be him as the most unique, with countless opportunities; in the end, it’s a contest of character.

Sitting by the lakeside, he savored the reminiscence.

Waiting until dusk fell, he stood up, stretching, looking at the shimmering lake surface, seemingly seeing Taihao’s figure.

“Looking forward to the next encounter.”

Gu An smiled gently, murmuring to himself.

Ji’s life allows him to ascertain the Celestial Emperor indeed contests with him in reincarnation.

With the Celestial Emperor’s capability, meeting Gu An twice surely indicates he knows Gu An is not simple. Yet he doesn’t search the Heavenly Dao but competes Reincarnation Body to Reincarnation Body, showing kindness.

Though the Daoist Field of the Beginningless is strong, if the Celestial Emperor wants to search the Heavenly Dao with a fine-tooth comb, he would eventually find it.

Most critically, Gu An had already grown strong before encountering the Celestial Emperor, having at least the power to protect himself.

His past path was correct; it shouldn’t be changed prematurely.

Gu An turned back towards the mountain peak where he resided.

Simultaneously, a meteor streaked across the distant sky, leaving a poignant trail of airwaves.

The meteor was not a stone but a White Jade Coffin. As the coffin streaked across the sky and passed a cliff, a hand stopped it, causing a violent storm to spread in all directions, devouring the mountain, uprooting forest, impacting a thousand-mile radius.
