When I Achieved Sainthood, the Immortal Official Actually Called Me to Raise Horses!

[You returned to the Dark Great World.]

Seeing this prompt, Gu An felt a mix of emotions.

He had thought Hei Xuan would die alongside Bai Xian Fairy, but in the end, it was Bai Xian Fairy who saved Hei Xuan.

She didn’t abandon everything for love, nor did she let Hei Xuan take on her burden alone…

Even Gu An was moved by Bai Xian Fairy’s actions. She truly deserved the title of an Immortal Sect disciple.

Since there was no choice to be made, the prompts continued.

Upon returning to the Dark Great World, Hei Xuan once again embarked on a path of extremes. He began slaughtering demons and fiends on a massive scale.

In less than a hundred years, he returned to the Heavenly Dark Demon Sect, seeking revenge for his master Luo Shenyuan.

Hei Xuan cut down all who stood in his way as he charged toward the Vice Sect Master.

The slaughter continued until the entire Heavenly Dark Demon Sect collapsed, leaving no one daring to oppose him.

The Sect Master even begged for mercy, pleading for Hei Xuan to spare the Vice Sect Master, revealing that the Vice Sect Master was actually his younger brother.

Gu An didn’t hesitate—he chose not to spare him.

Hei Xuan had to avenge his master, Luo Shenyuan.

If it hadn’t been for the Heavenly Dark Demon Sect’s pursuit, Hei Xuan wouldn’t have been forced to flee to Xuanqing Great World in the first place.

Karma always comes full circle—the Heavenly Dark Demon Sect deserved this fate!

As for Hei Xuan, his own retribution would come eventually. If he was bound by karma, then even death would simply mean he wasn’t strong enough!

Hei Xuan’s strength grew at an alarming rate, yet he never encountered Gu An’s other two past lives in the Dark Great World—Chu Lu and Xiao Shengtian.

This made Gu An suspicious—could it be that Hei Xuan wasn’t the same Black Xuan Emperor?

Gu An sat up from the tree trunk he had been resting on.

Since he was currently within the Dao Field, even if passing down memories through reincarnation drained spiritual energy, it functioned just like a lifespan barrier, extracting energy from the heavens and earth, ensuring the Dao Field remained hidden.

With the world in constant turmoil, where great cultivators broke through daily, the commotion caused by memory inheritance wouldn’t cause much concern.

Below, Tianqing and Tianbai were still practicing swordsmanship, unaware that Gu An had just sat up.

Finally, at two thousand years old, Hei Xuan encountered a major upheaval.

[At age two thousand one hundred thirty-two, you achieved the Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Dao, shaking the world. Before the tribulation clouds above you could disperse, a giant hand reached out from within and seized you. Your consciousness fell into darkness.]

[When you awoke, you found yourself lying on a grassy field. Looking up, the sky was clear and vast, surrounded by towering mountain peaks. As you explored, you arrived at an expansive valley, where you discovered many others—all of whom possessed cultivation no weaker than yours, standing at the Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Dao. These individuals hailed from various great worlds.]

[Someone told you that you were all trapped within a treasured artifact and unable to escape. You refused to believe them and tried to break free, only to find that you truly could not escape. You had no choice but to calm yourself.]

[At age two thousand two hundred forty, you attempted to escape again, but were once more stopped by the laws of this realm.]

[At age two thousand three hundred two, a pair of eyes appeared in the sky. A voice echoed through the valley, declaring itself as the master of this world—Evil Delusion Emperor. He stated that among all of you, only one person would survive to meet him. You hesitated for a moment before choosing to slaughter, ultimately killing seven hundred thirty-six Free Immortals and beginning your breakthrough to a higher realm.]

[You successfully broke through, surpassing the Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Dao, shattering the world’s constraints, and ascending to a grand palace, where you finally met Evil Delusion Emperor. He marveled at your talent and offered to take you as his disciple. Do you choose to accept?]

Hei Xuan had broken through to the Dao Fruit Realm at such an unnatural pace, yet Evil Delusion Emperor remained composed.

This could only mean one thing—this guy was truly terrifying.

Gu An hesitated for a long time.

Hei Xuan had killed so many Free Immortals—his lifespan was likely immense, far exceeding what he could immediately refine.

[You chose to accept Evil Delusion Emperor as your master. He was pleased and gave you a Golden Core, instructing you to refine it. However, you discovered that you were only allowed to cultivate within the grand palace, and Evil Delusion Emperor clearly had no intention of letting you leave. You hesitated—do you choose to refine the Golden Core?]

Gu An frowned and carefully weighed his options.

If Evil Delusion Emperor truly had sinister intentions and was as powerful as he seemed, then there was no need for him to play these games.

If Evil Delusion Emperor truly had good intentions, then even if Hei Xuan refused, he shouldn’t be in danger.

No!

Gu An made his choice.

[You refused to refine the Golden Core. Evil Delusion Emperor let out a cold snort and said, ‘You have no choice.’ You engaged in battle with him, but you were no match for him. In the end, he forcibly shoved the Golden Core into your body, compelling you to refine it. You lost control of yourself.]

[You began merging with the Vast Heaven Golden Core.]

Gu An was stunned.

Vast Heaven Free Immortal’s Golden Core?!

Then, just how powerful was this Evil Delusion Emperor?

[You comprehended the Dao of Karma.]

[You comprehended the Dao of Fate.]

[You comprehended the Dao of Yin-Yang.]

[An evil soul attempted to possess you, but you forcibly erased it using your lifespan evolution.]

[Your cultivation skyrocketed.]

[You opened your eyes to see Evil Delusion Emperor kneeling before you, addressing you as ‘Master’ and presenting you with an imperial weapon—Reincarnation Moon of Karma. You took advantage of the moment to disguise yourself, luring Evil Delusion Emperor away while you entered seclusion.]

[You successfully transcended your tribulation and reached the level of Profound Origin Free Immortal. Evil Delusion Emperor returned to congratulate you. At that moment, you suddenly attacked him. After an intense battle, you killed Evil Delusion Emperor and absorbed the imperial fortune of this palace. Your fate was rewritten, and you ascended as a Dao Sovereign, free from the constraints of karma and destiny. From that day onward, you called yourself Black Xuan Emperor, and it seemed that fate itself acknowledged your name.]

[At age two thousand three hundred three, you stepped out of Evil Delusion Domain and entered the vast universe. You realized that the Dark Great World was only one among many. Thus, you embarked on a journey across the cosmos.]

Black Xuan Emperor!

So it really was him!

Seeing this prompt, Gu An felt conflicted. He couldn’t understand why Black Xuan Emperor wanted to hunt down his reincarnated selves.

The prompts kept appearing!

Endless slaughter, over and over again.

But Black Xuan Emperor’s killing spree wasn’t aimless—he was also searching for a way to break free from the universe.

He wanted to return to Xuanqing Great World.

However, when Black Xuan Emperor finally reached the Cosmic Gate, he found no trace of Heavenly Spirit God.

This led Gu An to suspect that Dark Great World might not belong to the same cosmos as Heavenly Spirit Great World.

In the end, Black Xuan Emperor succeeded in crossing the universe and arrived at the Path of the Great Dao.

At the Path of the Great Dao, there were countless portals leading to different Great Worlds.

But Black Xuan Emperor couldn’t tell which world was Xuanqing Great World, so he had no choice but to explore each one individually.

The first two Great Worlds he entered were fine—he was able to come and go as he pleased.

But when he reached the third Great World, something changed.

The moment he tried to enter, karma backlash struck him!

Even the Dao of Fate rejected him!

It was an unfamiliar and terrifying sensation, forcing him to retreat.

This made Gu An deeply suspicious—if karma backlash prevented entry, there had to be a strong cause-and-effect connection.

Could this be related to one of his other reincarnated selves?

In the end, Black Xuan Emperor returned to Xuanqing Great World, only to find it had been reduced to ruins.

He wandered across the desolate lands, unable to find any living beings.

When he reached the former site of Xuanqing Immortal Sect, he searched for Bai Xian Fairy, but she was nowhere to be found.

Black Xuan Emperor remained at Xuanqing Immortal Sect for a long time, finally erecting a stone monument in Bai Xian Fairy’s memory.

But just as he was about to leave, a terrifying presence descended.

It was a power he could never forget—

Heavenly Court, God of Destruction!

At this moment, Gu An’s heart sank.

Black Xuan Emperor was no match for God of Destruction.

After all, he had only reached the level of Profound Origin Free Immortal.

[At age two thousand seven hundred two, you confronted God of Destruction, ready to take revenge for Bai Xian Fairy. However, to your shock, you saw a figure appear behind God of Destruction—it was Bai Xian Fairy herself.]

[But this Bai Xian Fairy felt completely different from the one in your memories. As you attempted to communicate, you discovered the truth—Bai Xian Fairy was the reincarnation of a celestial deity from the Heavenly Court.]

[It was because of Bai Xian Fairy that the Heavenly Court discovered this world’s anomaly. Now, she had regained her past life’s memories and gazed at you with utter indifference.]

[Just as you fell into despair, the old Daoist who once taught you divine abilities suddenly appeared. With a single palm strike, he forced God of Destruction back and took you away from Xuanqing Great World.]

[During your escape, you finally learned the truth—God of Destruction’s so-called ‘anomaly’ wasn’t referring to a mere ascender like you, but rather, the old Daoist himself.]

[The old Daoist revealed his identity—his Dao title was Wu Dao Immortal. He was an existence rejected by the Heavenly Court, drifting through the Three Thousand Great Worlds in exile.]

[At age two thousand seven hundred three, Wu Dao Immortal brought you to the Land of Reincarnation. Once again, he urged you to walk the path of slaughter. Remembering Bai Xian Fairy’s cold expression, this time, you abandoned your oath.]

[Wu Dao Immortal passed down a divine ability, teaching you to create Karma Avatars to hunt down your other reincarnated selves and sever the bonds of reincarnation.]

Holy shit!

So this was the truth?!

This Wu Dao Immortal was the one behind all of it!

But the most disturbing thing was—

Gu An didn’t even get a choice!

Which meant that Black Xuan Emperor had made this decision without hesitation.

Bai Xian Fairy’s betrayal had shaken him to his core.

Gu An found the situation ridiculous, but since the prompts kept coming, it meant that lifespan reincarnation wasn’t that easy to escape.

If reincarnated selves could kill the original, then his ten million-year lifespan would have been wasted!

[At age two thousand eight hundred twenty, you created three thousand Karma Avatars, dispersing them across the Three Thousand Great Worlds. You then guided them into the River of Fate.]

[That same year, one-third of your Karma Avatars were erased.]

[At age three thousand seven, Wu Dao Immortal passed down to you the supreme cultivation art—Dao Supremacy Art.]
