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

Chapter 314 Heavenly Dragon and the Ji Family



As Gu An continued to assimilate Long Zhan's memories, his hostility towards the Annihilation God Emperor also began to weaken.

"This Long Zhan is too arrogant!"

Before his wife Han Jiao'er's death, he still exercised some restraint in his actions, but since he went to Outer Heaven, he completely unleashed himself and acted recklessly.

The Battle Court he established was also tyrannical, rewarding those who followed him and annihilating those who opposed!

The piece of heaven and earth sacrificed by Long Zhan was completely innocent and involved, and the creatures of that realm didn't even have time to react before they died; the whole world turned to dust in an instant.

Before, Gu An felt that Xiao Shengtian was already arrogant enough, but compared to Long Zhan, he was nothing.

If Gu An had been in the Great Heavenly Spirit Land and also possessed the ability to slay Long Zhan, he would definitely have made a move. Your journey continues at empire

After Gu An finished integrating the memories, it was as if he had lived through Long Zhan's life himself, becoming the Emperor of Heavenly Dragon—yet when he looked back, he was filled with regret and remorse.

Before Long Zhan transcended the Nine Heavens of Immortal Path, Fairy Zi Yuan had advised him not to pursue enlightenment at the expense of harming other beings. Long Zhan didn't listen, and the two even broke ties over this.

After the inheritance of memories ended, Gu An was still immersed in them.

He was Gu An, but also Long Zhan.

This feeling left Gu An with an indescribable sense.

Perhaps this is what it felt like to remember a past life in one's current life.

Clearly the same person, but with different personalities.

After inheriting the memories of Long Zhan's life, Gu An also gained a lot, including insights into the Daoist Heart and the ability to inherit Long Zhan's most powerful Divine Skills.

Heavenly Dragon Reincarnation Dharma Aspect!

This Divine Skill could condense the ultimate Dharma Aspect of one's Daoist Sorcery, and could even condense the Dharma Aspect of a past life to fight alongside oneself.

After creating this Divine Skill, Long Zhan had intended to cultivate through Reincarnation Evolution to create Dharma Aspects for tens of thousands of generations, but an accident unlocked the Life Stealing Ability, and he no longer researched this Divine Skill, instead continually using life span evolution to enhance his Divine Skill.

Gu An slowly opened his eyes and then disappeared inside the island retreat, returning to Ye Lan's estate.

At this moment, Ye Lan was still in a state of Path Enlightenment.

Gu An sat down and continued to reflect on Long Zhan's life.

The Long Zhan who had transcended the Nine Heavens of Immortal Path was truly powerful; the feeling of controlling life and casually manipulating rules fascinated Gu An even now.

At the same time, he was also filled with dread at the power of the Annihilation God Emperor.

He had truly been crushed to death by the Annihilation God Emperor with a single hand; he hadn't even seen the true form of the Annihilation God Emperor.

It was a means that transcended time and space and was superior to the cosmic rules.

After understanding Long Zhan's life, Gu An no longer harbored intense hostility towards the Annihilation God Emperor. Unlike Chu Lu and Xiao Shengtian, Long Zhan had brought death upon himself.

Gu An felt somewhat confused.

If Reincarnation Evolution could be realized, he might also create a peerless evil being.

Fundamentally, he did not want to, but he couldn't control the personality in the cycle of Reincarnation.

Yet Reincarnation Evolution had many benefits, allowing him to remember countless Spells and Divine Skills, adding to his combat experience, and even enhancing his understanding of Reincarnation, making it very difficult for him to give up.

After much thought, Gu An felt he was trapping himself in his own web of thoughts. Why overthink so much?

The path to becoming stronger couldn't possibly be achieved without harming the innocent; many moral judgments are based on perspective, just like in war—are not the civilians of the enemy's country innocent?

At most, the next time he encounters a situation like Long Zhan's, he could choose not to activate the Life Stealing Ability and rely on his own efforts to Cultivate.

In fact, even without the Life Stealing Ability, Long Zhan's talent was very strong.

Gu An began to review the Cultivation Technique of the Heavenly Dragon Reincarnation Dharma Aspect.

He felt this Dharma Aspect seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

He soon remembered.

The Ji Family's Heavenly Dragon Demon-Suppressing Form had some similarities.

He planned to ask Ji Xiaoyu about it later. Ji Xiaoyu had already inherited Divine Skills when she returned to the Ji Family and might be able to perform the Heavenly Dragon Demon-Suppressing Form.

The sun set, and the moon rose.

A night passed.

Ye Lan gradually woke up and felt as if she had had a dream, one she couldn't remember clearly after waking up.

When she opened her eyes, she felt the entire world had changed.

Her gaze fell on the table, and she saw Gu An reading a book.

Gu An turned his head to look at her and smiled, asking, "Awake?"

[Ye Lan (Divinity Transformation Realm Level 5): 222/600/800]

Her Life Span limit had increased by two hundred years!

Gu An let out a sigh of relief, his face showing a smile.

As long as there were results!

But the effect was somewhat weak; he was, after all, a Divine Thought True Immortal.

Gu An carefully examined Ye Lan and noticed a subtle breath dissipating from her body, like the Heaven and Earth Rules, but even more difficult to detect.

"How did I fall asleep?" Ye Lan asked, puzzled.

Gu An rolled his eyes and said, "You're asking me? It's not like I drugged you, is it? I'm not even blaming you—I came all this way, and while we were talking, you fell asleep, leaving me hanging."

Ye Lan showed an embarrassed expression and couldn't help asking, "Then why didn't you wake me up?"

"You were cultivating even in your sleep; it was clearly not ordinary sleep, so how could I dare to interrupt you?" Gu An replied, standing up.

"I'm leaving, I'll come to see you again next time."

"Sister, why not stay a couple more days?"

"No can do, Medicine Valley can't do without me."

"Really? How come I heard you're always hands-off as a manager?"

"How could that be?"

The two bickered for a while, but in the end, Gu An firmly decided to leave.

Ye Lan walked him to the estate's front door.

Gu An suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned to look at her, and asked, "In your heart, which is more important, good and evil or affection?"

He asked this because he was reminded of the scene where Long Zhan and Fairy Zi Yuan broke ties; although Long Zhan brought it upon himself, the end result of his loneliness still left him sighing.

Long Zhan might have been overbearing, but towards the people by his side, he was quite good; he just didn't tolerate any dissent from them.

Ye Lan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled gracefully and said, "If you were evil, I myself would not be evil, but I would always follow you, as long as you don't abandon me."

Gu An showed a smile and said, "Don't overthink it; I was just thinking about the plot in a book. I don't have the courage to do evil."

With that, he waved his hand and walked away.

Ye Lan watched his retreating figure, thoughtful.

...

As summer approached, the weather cooled.

In the woods.

Gu An watched Ji Xiaoyu step onto the clearing with anticipation in his eyes.

Ji Xiaoyu's forehead was etched with a red Dao Pattern that burst into light. Her whole aura suddenly changed; she raised her right hand, and the Spiritual Power inside her activated in a sophisticated manner, quickly coalescing behind her into a golden wheel that resembled a round glowing door with intricate and profound patterns.

As the golden wheel opened, golden dragons surged out from the intense light.

Her Heavenly Dragon Demon-Suppressing Form differed from her past life, but Gu An saw through it at a glance. The essence of the Heavenly Dragon Demon-Suppressing Form shared the same origin as the Heavenly Dragon Reincarnation Dharma Aspect but was weaker and far less sophisticated than the latter.

This discovery made Gu An's heart tremble.

The Heavenly Dragon Reincarnation Dharma Aspect was created by Long Zhan himself; could the Ji Family be related to Long Zhan?

In Long Zhan's memories, he only passed the Heavenly Dragon Reincarnation Dharma Aspect onto his son Long Xin, which implies that Long Xin passed it down?

From the life experiences of Chu Lu and Xiao Shengtian, their timelines might differ from Gu An's.

Could it be that Reincarnation Evolution might project into the past?

Ji Xiaoyu dismissed the Heavenly Dragon Demon-Suppressing Form, then approached Gu An and asked, "How was it?"

Although she wasn't sure why Gu An wanted to see the Heavenly Dragon Demon-Suppressing Form, it was renowned throughout the world, and showing it to outsiders did not violate clan rules.

"Truly formidable, it fills me with awe. The person who created this Divine Skill must truly be a godly being. Does the Ji Family have a record of who created it?" Gu An exclaimed.

Ji Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "This Divine Skill has an ancient origin, created by an ancestor. Who exactly created it, I am unsure, but if you care, I can look into it when I return."

Gu An nodded, "I'm indeed curious; I want to write a book, inspired by the Ji Family's history."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoyu smiled and said, "The Vice Sect Leader is looking forward to you writing about the Ji Family."

The two continued their conversation, with Ji Xiaoyu planning to introduce other Divine Skills, but Gu An showed no interest, so she gave up.

Both of them headed towards Medicine Valley.

"The Heavenly Dragon Demon-Suppressing Form was created by the Reincarnation Path Emperor, or perhaps, I have seen her perform it."

A voice came from the forest ahead, and Stealing the Five Elements appeared.

Ji Xiaoyu frowned, her expression full of displeasure.

Gu An had already noticed Stealing the Five Elements eavesdropping, and he too was speculating whether it was related to the Reincarnation Path Emperor, so he didn't mind Stealing the Five Elements' presence.

Currently, only the Reincarnation Path Emperor in the Ji Family could travel to Outer Heaven.

Stealing the Five Elements, seeing the look in Ji Xiaoyu's eyes, laughed and said, "She once said that at the other end of the universe, there exists a more vast expanse of heaven and earth that I can't even fathom."

After hearing this, Gu An suddenly suspected that the dragon race or the Battle Court might still exist.

Of course, it was just a guess.

Although he integrated Long Zhan's memories and became Long Zhan, he had no intention of seeking out the dragon race or the Battle Court.

Staying honestly in the Great Heavenly Spirit Land was the Righteous Path!

Even the strong could be crushed by others.

"Why do you always eavesdrop on our conversation?" Ji Xiaoyu said discontentedly, the Dao Patterns on her forehead emitting strange radiance once again.

Stealing the Five Elements raised his hand, "I mean no harm. Am I not helping you clear up your doubts? If you could transform into the Reincarnation Path Emperor, I would only be pleased."

With that, he vanished on the spot.

Gu An consoled, "Don't worry about him, watch how I'll crush him on the chessboard in the future."

Ji Xiaoyu retracted her Dao Patterns and nodded slightly.

For Gu An, this was just a minor interlude, understanding was enough; he didn't need to investigate thoroughly.

Long Zhan's karma was too significant; he didn't want to get involved.

But this incident stirred his imagination.

If Reincarnation Evolution projected into the past, how strong would the Black Profound Emperor be now?

What about that Annihilation God Emperor and Great Heavenly Spirit Land, would they also be in his field of view?

Gu An felt he needed to be even more cautious in the future and must not let others know he could steal life span.

A flock of birds flew out from the forest, heading toward the distance, their figures obscured by the sunlight.

Five years quickly passed.

This year, news spread throughout the world, causing a sensation.

The establishment of the Broken Sea Domain!

Created by the Holy Court, covering the region that the Great Cold Demon Sect previously sought to slaughter in the Mortal World, with the Sea Breaking Rift at the center.

The news spread rapidly, penetrating the continent, with the Emperor Li Xuandao following with an edict to the world, declaring the continent be renamed Taicang Continent!
