STEADILY BECOMING A SAINT, THE IMMORTAL OFFICIALS HIRED ME TO TEND THE HORSES

Chapter 559: Chapter 554 Nine Heavens Cyan Bird, Taiqing Golden Immortal

Sunlight was brilliant, filtering through the gaps in the leaves and leaving patches of light across the grass in the forest.

An Xin sat on a rock beside a stream, delivering a sermon to a group of boys and girls. Her voice was mesmerizing, so much so that even the birds perched on the trees cocked their heads to listen attentively.

She had been speaking for half a day now, her patience greater than before, as a gentle smile constantly graced her face.

Seeing the Qiankun Sect disciples enraptured by her Daoist teachings, An Xin turned her head to look around but couldn’t find Gu An; however, she believed her master was still there.

Indeed, he was.

Ten yards away, on an old tree, Gu An was lying on a branch, hesitating as he stared at his attribute list.

…

[Name: Gu An]

[Life Span: 9,555 / 89,904,572,611]

[Physique: Primordial Infinite Body]

[Cultivation Level: Heaven Balancing Golden Immortal Realm Perfection]

…

A hundred years had passed since the Great Thousand World’s restructuring, a cataclysmic process, but under An Hao and the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable’s protection, all beings were unaffected, feeling only as if they had sunk into a profound dream.

Upon awakening from the dream, every Major Sect realized that the world had become boundlessly vast, so much so that even beings above the Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal Realm who flew towards Outer Heaven were utterly astounded by the current world.

The endless expanse of the world, a thicker Celestial Dao Light Layer, and the universe had become even more dim!

An Hao had gathered all the worlds within the cosmos to create the entirely new Celestial Spirit Great World.

The Celestial Spirit Great World was more than ten thousand times larger than the Celestial Spirit Great World. In the previous ten millennia, not only the Celestial Spirit Great World had faced calamities of the Heavenly Dao, but other Great Worlds experienced the same; without the protection of the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable, many had long been eradicated of all life.

Thus, after the restructuring of the Celestial Spirit Great World, the heavens and the earth became vast yet desolate.

With the world so infinitely vast and the number of living beings not even close to the new world’s capacity, the calamities of the Heavenly Dao receded.

With no impetuousness left in nature’s spiritual energy, Yang Immortal Emperor’s proposal had been implemented by An Hao, and everything was evolving for the better.

Worth mentioning is that after An Hao’s sacrifice, his wife and children received considerable cosmic destiny, and within just a hundred years, Gu An witnessed the birth of a genius in the An Family with a Potential Lifespan of eight thousand years.

Gu An wasn’t sure if it was the world’s favor or An Hao’s will that looked after his descendants, but according to his calculations, the An Family would rise in the next ten thousand years, eventually becoming one of the strong families in the world.

Right now, Gu An’s hesitation was not about the affairs of others, but his own concerns.

He planned to first comprehensively enhance his own Daoist Techniques. Then, after accumulating another two hundred billion years of life span, he could strike for an even higher realm.

A life span nearing nine hundred billion years seemed massive, but in truth, if he intended to enhance every aspect, it would probably be spent soon.

No matter, he must improve!

Even though the Celestial Spirit Immortal Venerable had already reshaped the order of the Great Dao in the Great Thousand World, and the Celestial Spirit God had not fallen, temporarily avoiding the Celestial Court’s notice, he had to maintain the pace of getting stronger.

After this increase in strength, he would start dealing with the Celestial Spirit God.

Gu An began to utilize his Lifespan Breakthrough.

[You have activated the Lifespan Breakthrough Function. Based on your current realm, the following breakthrough locations have been selected for you:]

[1. Ascending to Yellow Heaven]

[2. Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens]

[3. Abyss Dao Sea]

[4. Path of the Great Dao]

[5. Eastern Sea Celestial Palace]

[6. Primordial Emperor Domain]

[7. Profound Abyss Divine Pool]

[8. Golden Immortal Ancestor Tree]

[9. Ling Mountain]

Looking at the choices that had popped up before him, many of which he was seeing for the first time, Gu An couldn’t help but be moved by the infinite vastness of the Great Dao.

The Path of the Great Dao connected the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and beyond the Great World were many more mysterious places.

Gu An’s previous breakthrough had taken him to the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens, which left a deep impression on him.

After some contemplation, he felt that returning to the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens was the best option.

He was uncertain of the other locations, and although the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens had powerful beings, they were few in number.

With his decision made, Gu An chose the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens for teleportation.

[Teleporting to Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens will require the consumption of 10,000,000,000 years of Life Span, do you wish to proceed?]

Continue!

Gu An closed his eyes after making his choice, and that long-absent sensation of dizziness appeared.

After a while,

Gu An opened his eyes, and what met his gaze was an endless sea of clouds, majestic and vast. The sky was still so high, with no land in sight, and no matter which direction he looked, he saw nothing but the sea of clouds and the sky.

He immediately activated his Life Span Barrier and sat down to meditate on the spot.

Without saying a word, he began to evolve and improve.

Starting with his physique!

Each time, Gu An invested a billion years of life span, operating slowly.

It took nearly four billion years to advance from the Primordial Dao Golden Body to the Primordial Infinite Body; this time would surely take even more.

Billion after billion years, Gu An was collected and composed, not feeling the slightest bit of heartache.

In the end, it took approximately fifty billion years for the Primordial Infinite Body to advance to the Primordial Reincarnation Undying Body.

As the final prompt fell, an enormous surge of Dao Spiritual Qi flooded towards Gu An.

The boundless sea of clouds began to churn in a very short time, luckily, not as dramatically as the previous breakthrough.

Gu An closed his eyes and began to immerse himself.

An hour later, his physique’s transformation was successful.

With the Primordial Reincarnation Undying Body, not only did his physique grow stronger, but the Power of the Great Dao could no longer control his flesh, and it was not worn down by Reincarnation. Even if his life span reached its limit, his body could exist forever. Now, he could enter Reincarnation in his physical form as smoothly as a fish takes to water.

Gu An opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the Cultivation Technique column in his attribute list.

Upgrade the main technique first, Great Dao Great Freedom As You Wish Bible!

He began to invest life span for evolution.

Investing thirty-six billion years of life span at once, the Great Dao Great Freedom As You Wish Bible was elevated to the Daoist Dominator Skill, reaching an in-depth level of understanding.

Dao Spiritual Qi surged toward him once again, and an endless stream of Daoist Technique memories burst forth in his mind.

The Daoist Dominator Skill, as the name implies, could dominate the Great Dao. Once mastered, Gu An could comprehend any kind of Great Dao, and in facing any kind of Great Dao, he could discern its weaknesses in an extremely short time. Most importantly, this technique could merge the Three Thousand Great Dao into one force, aptly named the Dominator’s Power.

Another half an hour passed, and Gu An successfully mastered the Daoist Dominator Skill. He didn’t have time to experience it in depth and continued to enhance other Daoist Techniques.

Regardless of the tier the Daoist Technique reached, life span evolution could always allow Gu An to master it within half an hour, which was also a significant advantage.

The Great Thousand Following Heart to Void Skill was upgraded to the Sun and Moon Selfless Divine Dao, consuming nearly fifty billion years of life span.

This technique helped Gu An to conceal his cultivation level and aura. Even those with a realm higher than his could not see through it—though, of course, if the disparity in cultivation was too vast, it might not remain hidden, which was why he continued to elevate this technique.

The Sun and Moon Selfless Divine Dao was even more domineering, allowing Gu An to disappear into the order of the Great Dao. Even if he was still present, no one would detect him; he could even turn his aura into the sun, moon, and stars, perfectly concealing himself.

Again, the inheritance took half an hour.

After the inheritance ended, Gu An’s eyes turned to the Secret Skills, preparing to upgrade his combat methods.

Just then, a vast aura descended, one that far surpassed that of the Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal, causing a slight change in Gu An’s expression. He looked up.

He saw a gigantic cyan bird appear in the sky, its wings spread wide, eclipsing the sun. Its feathers shimmered with the colors of the rainbow, like a godly bird from creation, radiating an endless ancient and holy aura.

This cyan bird was by far the most colossal creature Gu An had ever seen; even set against the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens, the Celestial Vault seemed almost incapable of containing it.

Gu An hurled a Life Span Detection at the cyan bird.

[Nine Heavens Cyan Bird (Early Stage of Taiching Golden Immortal Realm): 218,726,929,702/50,000,000,000,000//50,000,000,000,000]

More than two hundred billion years old!

A life span of fifty trillion years!

Truly terrifying.

Killing it would direct unlock the ability for a trillion years of life span!

But the words “Taiching Golden Immortal” only allowed Gu An to contemplate the idea.

Of course, even if Gu An had the ability to slay it, he would not take action; that was not his style.

Moreover, he suspected that behind the Nine Heavens Cyan Bird, there stood even more powerful immortals, like the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor.

As Gu An marveled at the Nine Heavens Cyan Bird’s life span, the bird suddenly descended, landing ten thousand miles away.

Ten thousand miles is a long distance for mortals, but to the Nine Heavens Cyan Bird, a single movement of its claws could reach Gu An’s dojo. This made Gu An tense, ready to teleport away at any moment.

The Nine Heavens Cyan Bird folded its wings and perched on the sea of clouds, its head reaching unscalable heights.

Gu An then saw a figure emerge, the white-robed woman known as the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor, appearing atop the head of the Nine Heavens Cyan Bird.

As before, Gu An was still unable to perform Life Span Detection on the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor, indicating that her true body was not present.

Two powerful entities appeared beside her, causing Gu An to dare not continue his evolution. He decided to wait for the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor and the Nine Heavens Cyan Bird to leave before resuming.

If they refused to leave, he would have no choice but to teleport back to the Celestial Spirit Great World.
