The waves incessantly washed up on the beach, crashing against the rocks, sending up sprays of water. In the distance, demon birds hovered over the sea, wary of approaching the shore.
On the beach, Gu An sat in meditation, his eyes closed, the whirlpool of spiritual energy around him slowly dissipating.
The sky gradually turned yellow, dusk nearing.
A meteor streaked across the sky, piercing the sea of clouds, aiming towards Gu An.
Just as the meteor was about to strike Gu An, he suddenly raised his hand and caught the meteor in his grasp.
He opened his right palm to reveal a white jade stone, the size of a pigeon egg, in his hand, refracting a crystalline light, exuding a mysterious beauty.
Gu An slowly opened his eyes, looking at the white jade stone in his hand with a complex expression.
He had just received the inheritance memories of Lifespan Reincarnation, his mind awash with emotions and thoughts.
He had experienced another life.
This lifetime was far longer and grander than the previous ones combined. Perhaps it was related to Gu An’s current cultivation level, as this lifetime’s cultivation far surpassed the former ones, even reaching the realm of Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal.
The endpoint of Lifespan Reincarnation varies with the state of one’s cultivation beforehand. Even with unparalleled talent, one might still succumb to certain misfortunes.
Unlike previous reincarnations, this reincarnation body still lived.
More precisely, it lived in Gu An’s current timeline, destined to die in the future.
The reincarnation body was born in the War Spirit Holy Mansion, a Daoist lineage as ancient as Ling Mountain, unrelated to the Battle Court.
Named Taishang Jue, like other reincarnation bodies, he was born in suffering and grew through countless hardships.
The current Taishang Jue had already reached the cultivation level of Miao Zhen Daluo Immortal. He would fall to the Celestial Court when he achieved Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal.
Gu An could sense that if he tried to contact Taishang Jue, he would face unimaginable repercussions of karmic retribution.
Taishang Jue had already vaguely sensed his own karma, so before leaving the Great Thousand World, he scattered many white jade stones imbued with his Dao Intent and hidden obsessions.
Fearing exposure of his connection with Gu An, he created these white jade stones. While they appeared to spread fortune, only his true self could fully comprehend them.
“Reincarnation is unstoppable, and past lives will eventually become fleeting clouds, yet obsessions might transcend reincarnation.”
Gu An toyed with the white jade stone, pondering silently.
Lu Han’s obsession was his son Lu Qiuxian. Yang Xian’s was the Sacred Heart Sword Dao. The Black Profound Emperor’s was his senior sister, Fairy Bai Xian. The Emperor of Eternal Life’s obsession was Fairy Yaoxuan.
Taishang Jue’s obsession was to save his master.
Born in War Spirit Holy Mansion, Taishang Jue’s family was killed by enemies within the mansion right after his birth. If not for the chance encounter with the Red Dust Ancestor, he would have died too, and the Taishang lineage would have been completely eradicated.
The Red Dust Ancestor took a liking to him because he was born with a Dao Saint Heart.
The Dao Saint Heart is a rare fortune in the Great Dao, allowing effortless comprehension of the Dao, immunity to all evils, and invulnerability to all magic.
He cultivated under the Red Dust Ancestor for millions of years, reaching the Taiqing Golden Immortal Realm before venturing out on his own.
He traveled to many places, including Ling Mountain.
Notably, he encountered the Celestial Buddha before he accepted the Emperor of Eternal Life as his disciple. Gu An speculated that this karma might be one reason for the Buddha’s protection of the Emperor of Eternal Life.
Despite his tragic beginnings, Taishang Jue had a bold and outgoing nature, always making friends through combat. Regardless of gender, if he wished to befriend someone, he first proposed a spar, though never forcing those who refused.
He even befriended Immortal Gods, many of whom sought to ascend to immortality.
One Celestial God aspired to become the God of Destruction. Linking this to the Black Profound Emperor’s memories, Gu An speculated that the Celestial God and the God of Destruction might indeed be the same person.
Taishang Jue, now a Miao Zhen Daluo Immortal, was born earlier than previous reincarnation bodies.
His life was even more remarkable than that of the Emperor of Eternal Life, filled with justice and enmity, adored by many Daughters of Heaven. Yet, he was solely devoted to the Dao, saving many worlds and leaving behind legends and myths.
However, life’s journey was not always smooth. The Celestial Court sought to recruit him into the Immortal Class, but he refused, even clashing with Immortal Officials, completely defying celestial rules, incurring the Celestial Court’s pursuit.
After narrowly escaping death several times, he was attacked by a Supreme Immortal. As he was about to die, his master, the Red Dust Ancestor, appeared and saved him, though suffering severe injuries and a curse from the Heavenly Dao.
The master and disciple fled to a mysterious universe. The Red Dust Ancestor sealed himself, instructing that only the legendary Eternal Fruit could save him.
Taishang Jue was devastated. To him, the Red Dust Ancestor was not just a master but a father. This was his first true setback, deeply affecting him.
He changed completely, not immediately seeking the Eternal Fruit but focusing on cultivation, aiming to reach the Supreme Immortal’s realm before re-emerging.
Unfortunately, he underestimated the Celestial Court’s power. Just as he set foot on the Path of the Great Dao, Immortal Gods pursued him.
Luckily, his cultivation was strong enough that the initial waves of Immortal Gods couldn’t handle him.
Until the Celestial Dao Venerable attacked, casting him into the Desperate Celestial Tomb, where he endured the curse.
Over the long years, Taishang Jue gradually lost consciousness.
It wasn’t until much later that he sensed a karma similar to his own. Using this karma to break free from the Desperate Celestial Tomb, he escaped, leaving the other person behind in his place.
Gu An guessed this karma belonged to Fairy Yaoxuan, specifically to her unborn child, the son of the Emperor of Eternal Life, Sin.
Comprehending his origin and karma, Taishang Jue sensed his connection with the Emperor of Eternal Life.
Both men realized they were reincarnation bodies, completing each other’s redemption in their respective lives.
Fairy Yaoxuan suffered a karmic backlash, unable to return to the Dao. But the Desperate Celestial Tomb was unique; her child could hide there with time standing still. The giant palace where Sin resided was created by Taishang Jue, shielding him from the tomb’s evil forces.
Taishang Jue saved the Emperor of Eternal Life’s son while the Emperor, through his offspring, helped Taishang Jue escape the tomb’s suppression.
Thinking of this, Gu An felt deeply moved and somewhat proud.
No wonder it’s him!
After escaping the tomb, Taishang Jue wandered the void of the Great Dao for a long time before returning to the Great Thousand World recently.
He harbored a deep hatred for Immortal Gods but felt a slight kinship with Zhu Xi, deriving from their shared karma. That’s why he acted against the Immortal Gods of the Divine Court.
Though he seemed insane, he retained a shred of his will.
He captured Han Sha Immortal Monarch to investigate the plot behind the Demon God, intending to use the Immortal Gods for finding the Eternal Fruit.
Taishang Jue was unaware of his destiny, but Gu An, having inherited his memories, knew.
Taishang Jue would cause many upheavals, ultimately falling to the Celestial Court, never finding the Eternal Fruit before his demise.
He scattered the white jade stones across the Three Thousand Great Worlds, fearing such an outcome. If he failed, he hoped his true self would help him find the Eternal Fruit.
“Since it’s my own request, I naturally must help you.”
Gu An looked down at the white jade stone, thinking thus.
Inheriting Taishang Jue’s memories deepened his comprehension of the Great Dao, and his soul began to transform.
Dao Saint Heart!
