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

Chapter 611: Chapter 604: Trillion Years Life Span, Life Span Projection

Watching the departing figure of the Deity of the Moon, Li Ya still felt uneasy. He checked himself for a long time on the spot, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal about him, the Deity of the Moon had already disappeared.

A Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit appeared out of thin air, seemingly leaping suddenly onto his shoulder, and curiously asked, “Could you see through that person’s cultivation level just now?”

Li Ya regained his composure, furrowed his brows, and said, “I couldn’t see through.”

“If he was really helping you just now, then, boy, your Fuyuan is outrageously strong, to encounter such great opportunities even on the road,” the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit remarked.

After hearing the words of the Deity of the Moon, it had actually believed them.

Indeed, there was a powerful backer behind Li Ya, just hidden in the shadows, not always watching over Li Ya. Yet, Li Ya kept encountering various opportunities, which compelled it to ponder Li Ya’s Destiny Pattern.

Could it be that Li Ya’s Destiny Pattern has become very strong now?

Li Ya, on the other hand, was thinking about the identity of the Deity of the Moon.

Over the years, he had increasingly felt the changes in the Great Heaven and Earth, with more and more outstanding figures and Great Powers emerging, making him feel like a mere mortal, very insecure.

Li Ya took a deep breath, leaped up, and flew towards the sea.

The sea wind howled, and the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit stood on his shoulder, pulling at his earlobe, and asked, “Li Ya, are you really going to the Dao Court? I heard that the Dao Court is created by top cultivators from different Great Worlds. If you cause trouble there, it will be very troublesome.”

“What do you mean, am I the kind of person who loves to cause trouble?”

“How so? Don’t you know yourself?”

“I never act recklessly, it’s just that those people are too oppressive!”

“Yes, yes, you’re always right. You can’t stand others being bullied, but who reaches out to help you when you suffer?”

“Isn’t today’s opportunity a repayment? Do good deeds without asking about the future.”

Li Ya hummed, not wanting to continue this conversation. Changing the subject, he asked, “Do you think Tian Hao is really that powerful? Born in an unknown small sect, yet he has become famous throughout the world, a thousand-year-old Wandering Immortal, that’s too fake.”

“The person is now not a Wandering Immortal but a Carefree Primordial Immortal,” joked the Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit.

“If An Hao were still here, would he allow this Tian Hao to be so prestigious?” Li Ya lamented.

He considered An Hao as his greatest rival in life; unfortunately, An Hao was no longer in this world, and every time he thought of this, his heart ached and he felt regret.

The Divine Exotic Immortal Spirit fell into contemplation.

An Hao, Tian Hao…

Both named Hao, could it be such a coincidence?

On the other side.

Seeing that Li Ya was unharmed, Gu An then wrapped his arms around Xiao Lan’s waist, starting to respond to her affection.

After a while, Gu An suddenly pushed Xiao Lan away, embarrassedly saying, “Under the broad daylight, isn’t it inappropriate?”

Xiao Lan hooked his neck, her eyes flirty, and she licked her lips, softly saying, “Brother Gu, don’t be afraid, this is my Grotto Heaven, just you and me. With the sunlight, I can clearly see everything I enjoy.”

With that, she kissed Gu An again.

Gu An’s tightly clenched hands involuntarily opened.

So be it.

…

After seeing Li Ya, the Deity of the Moon left the Celestial Spirit Great World, flew to the World Gate, briefly chatted with a Celestial Spirit, then entered the World Gate.

Gu An witnessed the whole process, feeling that the threat from the Celestial Court was temporarily over, and there would be a long period of peace.

Indeed, it was so.

Human affairs were like tides, but these tides could not shake Gu An; his time naturally passed even faster.

In the blink of an eye,

more than six thousand years had passed.

On this day, as Gu An was picking medicinal herbs in the Daoist Field of the Beginningless, his hand paused as three prompts appeared before him.

“You have successfully harvested Dandelion Grass (Tier Four), adding 30 years to your lifespan.”

“Your lifespan has surpassed one trillion years for the first time, activating the Life Span Projection feature.”

“Life Span Projection: You can expend lifespan to project into the Great Dao worlds, materializing three thousand projected selves to pursue different Great Daos. Before projecting, you can only choose one Great Dao to chase. The projected selves cannot be deduced, and you cannot retain their memories, but you can gain their insights into the Great Dao.”

This feature…

It somewhat resembled the Lifespan Reincarnation, yet it was different.

Lifespan Reincarnation felt as if Gu An was experiencing it himself, and its outcomes were unknown, whereas Lifespan Projection seemed more like a method of reincarnation to comprehend the Great Dao.

Gu An decided he would try it later, as the projected selves couldn’t be deduced; using this feature likely wouldn’t cause any trouble.

He continued to pick herbs while reviewing the lifespan features he had activated.

Life Span Detection, Life Span Barrier, Life Span Deduction, Life Span Prediction, Life Span Fusion, Lifespan Reincarnation, Life Span Simulation, Life Span Dojo, Life Span Breakthrough, Life Span Projection.

Although he scarcely used half of these features, he was not averse to having more lifespan functions.

It’s fine not to use them, but impossible not to have them!

Gu An’s mood improved. Having reached his current realm, it was no longer about simple Qi Absorption but about comprehending the Great Dao; the stronger his Dao Intent, the higher his cultivation level would be.

This was an intangible method of cultivation, beyond the understanding of Mortal Spirits.

Seeing that Gu An was in a good mood, the Ghost Mother of Ephemera, who was following him, carefully asked, “Master, if Tian Hao encounters great trouble outside, would you intervene?”

Over the six thousand years, although Tian Hao remained a Carefree Primordial Immortal, his renown had grown significantly since he could battle across realms.

Once, while on an expedition with the Qiankun Sect, he had actually annihilated the physical body of the Divine Immortal of Wondrous Dharma. That battle had vastly spread his fame, and he became known as the unmatched number one prodigy in the world.

Great fame inevitably brought more troubles. More and more prodigies came to challenge Tian Hao but were soundly defeated. There were also those forces that wanted to enlist Tian Hao. Tian Hao’s rejections inevitably made enemies.

Recently, the Ghost Mother of Ephemera had been restless. Though she felt exceedingly safe within the dojo, she could only think that perhaps Tian Hao was in danger.

Gu An laughed and said, “Great trouble? There’s no trouble that great.”

“What if there is?”

“Don’t worry, he is unlike any prodigy you’ve met. He won’t die young; his Destiny Pattern destined him to become the strongest. You simply don’t understand what he represents. Even without me, his brilliance would shine bright.”

Gu An explained, knowing that the Ghost Mother of Ephemera had the closest relationship with Tian Hao, even regarding her as a mother. He didn’t mind revealing some karma to her.

Hearing this, the Ghost Mother of Ephemera immediately felt relief.

Although she didn’t fully understand how powerful Tian Hao’s Destiny Pattern was, she felt reassured by Gu An’s words.

“Usually, there’s no need to be too diligent in managing the dojo; you also need time for Enlightenment. The Dao Treasure I bestowed upon you is your best aid in cultivation.”

Gu An spoke sincerely.

He had crafted a Dao Treasure for the Ghost Mother of Ephemera known as the Nine Netherworlds Heaven-Reversing Flag. This flag embodied the Path of Yin and Yang, it could reverse Cangtian and all things, and was extremely domineering.

“I won’t forget about cultivating.”

The Ghost Mother of Ephemera spoke earnestly, but to herself, she added,

Nor forget about managing the dojo!

She was well aware of why she possessed all that she did now. She could not relax, could not abandon the path she had taken, and must strive even harder!
