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

Chapter 869: Chapter 861: 1 Quadrillion Years!

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed, vanishing swiftly.

Gu An didn’t slay demons and exorcise spirits with An Xin every day, but he still ventured out dozens of times each year, rapidly increasing his life span.

Until this day, a series of prompts appeared before his eyes.

[Your life span has broken through one hundred quintillion years for the first time, beginning a random upgrade of the life span function.]

[Your life span projection function has been upgraded.]

[Life span projection upgrade successful.]

[Life Span Projection: You can consume life span to project the Great Dao, manifesting three thousand projection bodies to visit different Dao Worlds. Before the projection, you can only choose one Dao to pursue. The projection body cannot be deduced, and you cannot obtain memories from the projection body but can gain their insights on the Great Dao. The Dao projection is no longer restricted within the Heavenly Dao and can transcend time and space.]

One hundred quintillion years, that’s a hundred billion billion years, one million trillion years, a hundred quadrillion years!

This already surpasses Gu An’s life span from his last breakthrough, making him secretly lament that taking lives yields much more life span.

It’s still not enough; he feels the life span should increase by another digit to have hope of a breakthrough, for he already feels nearly invincible, a strength beyond the Supreme Emperor of Ultimate Merging Dao, a realm he cannot yet imagine.

Breaking through the Great Realm is bound to be a qualitative change, far from just a simple enhancement of cultivation level.

Seeing the new life span projection, Gu An was interested.

Simply put, it expanded the scope of life span projection, from within the Heavenly Dao to outside it, and can project into the past and future.

The specific scope is not yet known.

Gu An decided to try the life span projection after returning.

He stopped thinking about the life span projection and turned his gaze toward the end of the world, where an unparalleled battle was taking place, with An Xin as one of the combatants.

The celestial dome revealed a pair of giant purple eyes, overlooking the world, causing this space to fall into some sort of restriction, within which the battle did not affect the heavens and earth.

Fighting against An Xin was an Innate Golden Immortal, frantically attacking. Upon closer inspection, An Xin was flying swiftly, and although her opponent showed great divine skills, they couldn’t hit her.

The display of divine skills was spectacular, yet, they never managed to touch An Xin.

The Innate Golden Immortal had already fallen into An Xin’s Illusion Realm of the Immortal Emperor’s Eye, unable to perceive this, still thinking An Xin was right in front of him. He saw the hope of victory, his fighting spirit soaring higher.

However, An Xin wasn’t in front of him but had been following behind him, coldly watching him squander mana.

Gu An nodded approvingly, satisfied with An Xin’s performance.

An Xin’s suppressive power at the same realm grew stronger in recent years. Over the past century, her use of the Immortal Emperor’s Eye greatly improved.

In Gu An’s eyes, An Xin’s future continues to unfold, her powerful figure constantly appearing. Someday, she will surely become a renowned Great Power in the Heavenly Dao.

Seemingly sensing the right moment, the giant purple eyes on the celestial dome suddenly squinted, as did An Xin, her eyes bursting with a strange purple light, making everything within the barrier turn illusory.

The attacking Innate Golden Immortal suddenly stopped.

Figure after figure flew out of An Xin’s eyes, all her figure, holding a treasure sword, leaping forward, one sword slicing through the Innate Golden Immortal’s body, followed closely by others.

In an instant, ten thousand swords swept across, the Innate Golden Immortal’s body covered in countless cracks, and mana inside seeped out like mist, spreading around.

In less than five breaths time, this Innate Golden Immortal turned to ashes and scattered away.

Gu An had long seen An Xin’s method of taking down enemies with the Illusion Realm of the Immortal Emperor’s Eye, utilizing the paths of cause and effect, and fate, making it unavoidable.

[You successfully seized 3,594,261,102 years of life span from the Soulless Elder (Late Stage of Innate Golden Immortal Realm)]

As before, before An Xin’s opponent could die, Gu An would quietly intervene, and until now, An Xin hasn’t noticed anything amiss.

An Xin raised a hand to catch the Soulless Elder’s storage pouch and magical treasure, then turned to fly toward Gu An.

She approached Gu An, handing over the two items, and he waved, storing the storage pouch and magical treasure into his sleeve, then pointed to discuss the previous battle.

An Xin listened attentively. During this century, her rapid advancement in strength could not have been achieved without Gu An’s teaching and guidance.

Now, her mentality had shifted, no longer confined to the Celestial Spirit Great World, she began to truly resemble a Great Power Cultivator.

After a while, Gu An led her back to the Celestial Spirit Great World.

After they left, the restriction ahead dissipated, a strong wind surged from within, howling across the land, declaring the fierce battle that once erupted.

…

Under the dazzling starry sky, clouds surged endlessly, accompanied by a graceful melody from a zither.

Following the sound of the zither, there was an ancient tree standing above the sea of clouds, with a white-robed man playing beneath it. His hair was white as snow, and blue feathers on his robe made his celestial aura unmistakable.

A figure emerged through the clouds; it was a fairy in a white dress, wearing a silver jade phoenix crown and a light veil covering her face. Her exposed brows and eyes were exquisite and beautiful, her gaze as clear as the purest gems in the world.

“Taishang, after so many years, why have you returned to this tree again? Have you started to feel uneasy about your actions?”

The fairy in white skirt approached the tree and asked softly.

This zither-playing white-robed man was the Heavenly Emperor.

Facing her inquiry, the Heavenly Emperor did not get angry. He raised his eyes to look at her, smiling, and said, “And you, Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor, why have you come here to find me? Are you worried about the future of the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens?”

The Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor’s expression remained unchanged as she replied, “Indeed, I’m uneasy. I don’t understand why you sealed the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens. Have you really changed?”

The Heavenly Emperor paused his actions, looked at the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor, and replied, “Sister, you and I are no longer the Daoist Children we were back then. I am the Son of Heaven, wielding power over the Celestial Court. I cannot overlook the threat of the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens due to personal feelings. After you accepted Emperor Changyou, he ventured into the Dark Heavenly Court. Over these years, the Dark Heavenly Court has swiftly infiltrated the Heavenly Dao’s domain. I can sense their presence within it, so I must investigate thoroughly. If there are no issues with the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens, naturally, I won’t cause trouble.”

“What about the Three Thousand Great Worlds then? To plot against the Son of Heaven, you sacrificed so many living beings. You must have noticed, with so many Chaos Evil Demons and Underworld forces taking advantage of the situation. Yet your Heavenly Soldiers and Generals never halted. If the Celestial Court truly has Immortal Divine Dark, I cannot help but suspect you.”

After saying this, the turbulent clouds froze momentarily, and the Heavenly Emperor’s face turned cold, his gaze on the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor filled with pressure, dimming even the bright starlit river above.

Their gazes locked, the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor remained unflinching.

After a while.

The Heavenly Emperor withdrew his gaze, resumed playing the zither, and said, “Go back. You cannot change my will. Do not force me to cut off our brotherhood.”

The Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor looked at him deeply, saying, “Brother, have you ever wondered why the Emperor of Heaven entrusted you with such power? And after that, where is he, is he watching you?”
