Chapter 469 Facing the Way of Heaven
After Gu An finished speaking, his eyes began to scan Yang Jian and Zhang Xianwang, causing the atmosphere in the room to drop to freezing point.
Zhen Qin, who had just sat down, was also stunned and didn't dare to breathe.
Now, she was really sure that her master was Fudao Sword Master. His aura was so terrifying!
It was also the first time that Yang Jian felt his master display such a powerful aura. Even though he had recovered his memories of his past life and had rich experience, he still felt frightened by Gu An's aura, and even felt that the magic power in his body had solidified.
Zhang Xianwang's previous nervousness came back to his mind and his whole body froze.
Ye Lan was not nervous. She felt in her heart that Gu An would never hurt her.
"Front... Daoist friend, you go ahead."
Facing Gu An's pressure, Zhang Xianwang gritted his teeth and asked.
Gu An replied expressionlessly: "I will not interfere in the struggle for the world's great situation, but don't provoke me, and don't involve ordinary spirits. The difference between immortals and ordinary people should not be the difference in status, but the difference in power requires a safe distance."
After hearing this, Zhang Xianwang and Yang Jian immediately nodded.
Gu An then smiled, and the terrifying pressure disappeared, leaving Yang Jian, Zhang Xianwang, and Zhen Qin a little dazed.
"Okay, I've already said what you wanted to ask. It's time to talk about something happy. How have you been doing these years? Jian'er, you go first."
Gu An looked at Yang Jian and asked with a smile. Yang Jian came back to his senses and immediately began to tell about his experiences over the years. He was not shy even though Zhang Xianwang was beside him.
Zhang Xianwang was very interested in his experience.
Ye Lan and Zhen Qin both became interested when they heard that Yang Jian had entered the cycle of reincarnation.
Different from Gu An and the other two, the two of them were in the mortal spirit realm. Even though they were in power in the branch sect, when looking at the entire world of immortal cultivation, they were still at the bottom and had no access to the matter of reincarnation at all.
They have been to the human world to save the souls of wild ghosts, but they cannot find out how ghosts are reincarnated.
Gu An also listened carefully and asked for details from time to time. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
At the same time, the strange phenomena outside the sky began to slow down, and the creatures in the realm of annihilation became uneasy. It had stopped before, but soon the spiritual energy of the Avenue began to riot again, so they were not sure if this would be the last time of calm.
Time passes quickly.
It was not until dusk that Gu An asked An Xin to settle Zhen Qin, Yang Jian and Zhang Xianwang, while he was alone with Ye Lan.
Gu An looked at Ye Lan and asked, "Ask whatever you want."
He had previously concealed his identity as Fudao Sword Master. He could hear Ye Lan's thoughts, so he told her not to hold it in.
Ye Lan did have a lot of questions to ask, but when Gu An left her alone and was willing to explain, all her complaints disappeared.
Does it matter who Gu An is? What matters is that no matter who he is, he is protecting her.
Furthermore, looking at the commotion outside, Ye Lan knew that Fudao Jianzun's identity must indeed be hidden.
Ye Lan smiled and said, "How does it feel to be admired by others?"
When Gu An heard her ask this, he knew that she had no grudges in her heart.
Junior sister is always so sensible.
Gu An shook his head and smiled, "It's all just a false reputation. In this world, a reputation may last longer than a person, but it can never defeat the passage of time."
"That's for ordinary people. Senior brother is so powerful that he will definitely be praised by the world forever." Ye Lan said seriously.
Throughout history, how many people can save the world? She has never heard of anyone more powerful or with greater achievements than her senior brother.
Gu An smiled helplessly, then picked up the teapot and poured tea for Ye Lan.
Ye Lan saw something in his expression. She thought of Gu An's previous conversation with the Silent God Emperor and asked, "Is it really possible that a world like ours will be destroyed?"
Gu An nodded and said, "It was destroyed once a long time ago. The current world is just a fragment of the past. There are many more worlds outside the sky. Maybe there is more than one universe outside the sky. Maybe there are many, many universes. Even I am still very small."
After hearing this, Ye Lan was fascinated and said with deep emotion: "There are people beyond people, and there are people beyond the sky. I really want to go to the sky to see it, but unfortunately, I don't have the qualifications."
Gu An looked at her and said, "If you want to go, I can take you there."
Ye Lan was somewhat tempted, but she still shook her head and said, "Forget it. I'm afraid I'll be even more unwilling after seeing it."
She then looked at Gu An and asked firmly, "Brother, is there really a chance of reincarnation? Will I still be myself in the next life?"
After hearing about Yang Jian's experience, she became interested in reincarnation.
Moreover, the Innate Reincarnation Technique can accumulate cultivation across reincarnations. She didn't believe it before, but now she feels that heading towards death is the beginning of the Innate Reincarnation Technique.
Gu An heard her thoughts, so he replied: "Of course there is. The path of cultivating immortals is the path of exploring the great way. Reincarnation is also a great way. If you can recover your memory in the next life, you will still be the same as you are now. But even if you can't recover your memory, you are still you, and your soul has not changed. Reincarnation can erase memories, but it cannot change your nature, nor can it change the desire that bursts out from the depths of your heart."
He had always felt that nature was predetermined, but that acquired experiences would suppress nature, shape principles, and thus form new people.
Just like him in his previous life, he understood a lot of principles, but it was difficult for him to control his will and desires.
Even now, when he was very strong, many thoughts still arose in his mind, and these thoughts even conflicted with the path he knew.
Practicing Taoism means cultivating the mind, and only by cultivating the mind can one control one’s nature.
Ye Lan smiled and said, "I also want to reincarnate. I don't know if my senior brother will look for me in the next life."
Now, she will no longer doubt Gu An's ability. She believes that reincarnation is just an ordinary thing in Gu An's eyes.
Gu An raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course I will find you. I will tie you to my side and trap you for eternity. Are you afraid?"
"That's great. I was just afraid that you wouldn't want me anymore." Ye Lan said pitifully.
Gu An smiled and said, "I'm just afraid that you will rebel in your next life. Don't treat me as your enemy then."
Ye Lan looked at Gu An steadily and said, "That's impossible. Whether I have memories or not, as long as I see you, I will completely trust you. Although I have never been in reincarnation, I firmly believe this."
Gu An looked at her and listened to her thoughts, and the room became quiet.
"Brother, how does it feel to be alone and watch the old people reincarnate?" Ye Lan continued to ask.
She believed that Gu An had lived for countless years, and she couldn't even tell whether she had a close relationship with Gu An in her previous life, so Gu An took such good care of her.
Gu An looked out the window and said, "Look at the leaves on the tree falling and new buds growing. How do you feel?"
Ye Lan turned her head and looked out the window, her thoughts drifting away.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Gu An's Taoism enveloped her and helped her understand the nature of heaven and earth.
The two of them looked out the window, lost in thought.
Everything that happened in the past appeared before Gu An's eyes. When he had nothing to do, he would recall the past, including his experiences on Earth in his previous life. He must always remember where he came from and why he practiced Taoism.
As Gu An's thoughts drifted away, a breeze blew outside the window, shaking the old tree next to the attic. Just as he said, some leaves were blown off.
The leaf seemed unwilling to fall to the ground. It swayed and struggled in the wind, rising and falling with the wind.
It flew across the red sky and came to the blue sky dotted with white clouds. It slowly fell and landed on Gu An's palm.
This fall lasted for several hundred years.
Gu An was dressed in white, standing in front of a tombstone. He lowered his head to look at the leaves in his hand with deep eyes.
A hand reached out from the side, trying to grab the leaves in his palm, but it passed through his palm.
"Is this what it feels like after death? It's quite strange."
Ye Lan's soul stood beside Gu An and said excitedly.
Gu An glanced at her and said helplessly: "You are about to reincarnate, and you are still so happy?"
Ye Lan said proudly: "Of course I am happy. I want to start my life again, and I have no regrets in these four hundred years."
Four hundred and twenty years have passed since Gu An broke through the Luotian Free Wonderland. Ever since the conversation four hundred years ago, Ye Lan has longed to reincarnate as soon as possible. She feels that there is no hope for her to pursue enlightenment in this life.
But Gu An asked her to wait. Within four hundred and twenty years, she resigned from the position of branch sect elder and stayed in the Third Medicine Valley to practice under Gu An's guidance.
In Gu An's words, accumulating insights into the rules of heaven and earth before reincarnation will make it easier to practice in the next life.
When Gu An heard her words, a smile appeared on his face. He threw down the leaves in his hand and raised his hand to touch Ye Lan's face.
Ye Lan did not dodge, but when Gu An's hand touched her face, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, her eyes full of surprise, but then she understood.
Senior brother is so powerful, it is not difficult for him to cross the gap between Yin and Yang.
Gu An touched her face and thought of the girl who always pestered him back then.
Before he knew it, she had been with him for more than fifteen hundred years.
Gu An smiled and said, "Are you ready?"
Ye Lan nodded and took a deep breath.
Gu An withdrew his hand, then waved his sleeves. An unstoppable force rolled up Ye Lan's soul and made her fly into the sky.
Ye Lan looked at Gu An on the ground getting farther and farther away from her. Her excitement faded away, replaced by fear of the unknown.
Will it be possible that in the next life, senior brother will not be able to find her or forget her?
Ye Lan felt very uncomfortable. Only then did she understand that no matter how open-minded or well prepared she was, the feeling of experiencing life and death in person was completely different.
"Don't worry, even if this world is destroyed, I will still be here. As long as I am here, no matter how the world changes, as long as you are willing to stay with me, I will come to find you."
Gu An's gentle voice reached Ye Lan's ears, calming her heart instantly.
Yes, if the senior brother wanted to abandon her, he could have given up on her long ago. What's the point of lying to her? She opened her mouth and wanted to speak to Gu An, but found that she couldn't make any sound.
Gu An looked at Ye Lan in the air and could hear her thoughts. He did not continue speaking, his eyes looking up into the sky.
That layer of light symbolized the power of Heaven! He was curious about whether reincarnation had anything to do with Heaven? Who was so high up that he decided the fate of everything?
He thought of the group of immortals and gods that he would face in the end. Perhaps it was such a group of extraordinary immortals and gods who were controlling everything behind the way of heaven.
One day, he will face these beings and face the way of heaven! (End of this chapter)
