In an open area of the forest, five children were sitting by a stream, resting. Among them, the tallest boy sat on a rock, holding a vine in his hand, his gaze fixed deep into the mountain woods, his eyebrows tightly knit.
A girl in tattered clothes turned her head to look at the boy on the rock and asked, âBig brother, how much farther do we have to go? Letâs not run into demons later.â
The other three boys chimed in agreement. They were all tired from walking and wanted to go home for a meal.
The boy known as âbig brotherâ was named Yi Xiaoliang. He glared at his companions and said, âWhat demons? Weâre here to seek immortals. If youâre sincere in your heart, youâll encounter spirits. Whatâs the rush? Weâve hardly walked any distance at all. Tang Monk had to travel eighty-one thousand li to retrieve the scriptures!â
Upon hearing this, the three boys looked even more pitiable.
âBut even if youâre Tang Monk, weâre no Sun Wukong or Zhu Bajie.â
âYeah, Iâm so hungry.â
âBig brother, can you bring more cakes next time we go out?â
Yi Xiaoliang was infuriated. He jumped off the rock, ready to chastise his companions, when the sight ahead caught his attention. He stared with wide eyes, completely petrified.
The girl in rags turned her head to look as well, equally frozen in place.
Seeing the two of them react like this, the other three turned to look, following their gaze. A handsome man in white emerged from under the shade of the trees, a treasure sword at his waist, a delicate crown on his head, together with his peerless handsome face, he appeared like an immortal descending to the mortal realm.
âAn immortal⊠truly an immortal!â
One of the boys murmured to himself, unable to help but rub his eyes.

The newcomer was, in fact, Gu An, who cast Life Span Detection at Yi Xiaoliang.
[Yi Xiaoliang (Unrefined Qi):14/85/4999]
His maximum life span is not bad. Lu Jiujia has been born into a good life this time.
Thatâs what Gu An thought to himself, then he proceeded to deploy Life Span Detection at the other four children. He discovered that their maximum life spans were also quite impressive, with the shortest being three thousand years.
A cluster of talents?
Gu An stopped across the stream and, with a gentle smile, asked, âLittle fellows, what are you doing here? Arenât you afraid of running into bad people?â
Yi Xiaoliang snapped out of his trance, asking excitedly, âAre you the immortal from the mountains?â
The other four also looked at Gu An nervously and expectantly.
Gu An, instead of answering, countered with a question, âDo you want to cultivate toward immortality?â
At his question, the five kids, boys and girls alike, became even more excited, replying in a flurry.
âOf course we do!â
âBig brother, please teach us.â
âYou must be an immortal. Iâve never seen anyone like youâŠâ
âYeah, big brother, we really want to cultivate toward immortality.â
Seeing this group of lively, excited children, Gu An, who was already in a good mood, grew even more delighted. It was hard to see such vivacious kids in the Third Medicine Valley.
Gu An cleared his throat with a cough and said with a hint of mystery, âI do know a bit about immortal cultivation. But if I teach you, can you promise not to tell anyone else, including your families?â

At his words, the children, without a second thought, immediately agreed.
âCome here tomorrow, and I will impart to you the art of immortal cultivation,â Gu An said with a smile, his gaze then drifting to the celestial vault.
The Battle Court had begun to stir again!
They were targeting Yang Immortal Emperor, with the provocation of worldly unusual phenomena also playing a part.
The Battle Court feared an unprecedented catastrophic Reincarnation calamity was upon them, one that might overturn all heavens and myriad realms, so they wished to seize the Celestial Dao Golden Core before that and also to slay Long Qing.
They were afraid Long Qing might escape into the Reincarnation, having previously evaded them that way.
Long Qingâs ancestors had even utilized Reincarnation to flee all the way from outside the universe to this cosmos, using the Celestial Spirit God to foil their plans.
This time, how would Yang Immortal Emperor withstand the Battle Court?
The Celestial Dao Golden Core could not grant him greater power.
Hearing Gu Anâs words, Yi Xiaoliang and his friends suddenly got anxious, feeling as if Gu An was deceiving them.
Despite Gu Anâs persuasion, they could only suppress their anxieties and head back home.
Yi Xiaoliang took a few steps, then couldnât help but look back, seeing Gu An standing by the stream with a smile, watching him and his friends leave. He felt inexplicably dazed.
For some reason, he felt a kinship with Gu An, an attachment so strong that it filled him with reluctance to leave right now.
He feared that once he left, he might never see Gu An again.
Yi Xiaoliang opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
Gu An looked at him and smiled, âHurry back home. Tomorrow Iâm still waiting for you guys to tell me the story of âJourney to the Westâ.â
At these words, Yi Xiaoliangâs heart settled down. He chuckled and quickly turned to catch up with his companionsâ retreating figures.
As Gu An watched them leave, he thought to himself, âThe name Pan An sure has spread widely.â
Not just âJourney to the West,â but âThe Investiture of the Godsâ and âRomance of the Three Kingdomsâ have also made their way to this land; Gu An saw the driving force behind this.
Someone wanted to open up the aspiration for Immortal Cultivation among the Mortal Spirits of this land.
Gu An didnât care too much. A Cultivator of the Profound Heart Realm couldnât influence his decision to open the Life Span Dojo.
He didnât return to the Supreme Sect, but instead, he walked in another direction.
He was going to choose a suitable place to open the Life Span Dojo.
When the time came, he would move the World-Excluding Cave Heaven and the Eight Scenic Cave Heaven there, hiding them underground, as for the Third Medicine Valley, Profound Valley, End of the World Valley, Mountain God Temple, he wouldnât touch them. He would just occasionally go to harvest Medicinal Herbs.
He wanted the people of the Supreme Sect to gradually get used to life without him, so that when he truly left, the Supreme Sect wouldnât collapse.
Once the dojo was established, he could let the Celestial Demon Child and the other two girls move around in the woods, no longer confined to the World-Excluding Cave Heaven.

In the depths of the void, countless figures were flying, surrounding a colossal palace with nine suns floating above, radiating dazzling Heavenly Might. Ye Tianji, the master of the Battle Court, sat on his throne, with the image of the Celestial Spirit Great World reflected in his eyes.
A man with wings stood on the palace, also looking towards the distance. He turned his head to speak to Ye Tianji, âThat Yang Immortal Emperor is merely at the Daoist Zang Zizai Immortalâs cultivation level. Thereâs no need for you to take action. Just send another person to join forces with me.â
The Daoist Zang Zizai Immortal who had invaded the Immortal Dynasty before was him, defeated by the Yang Immortal Emperor, which left him feeling humiliated and eager for revenge.
Ye Tianji, expressionless, said, âNo need. Make this operation quick. Kill those who should be killed, take what should be taken, then return.â
The Reincarnation Phenomenon of the past two days had unsettled him, and recalling the legends of the Celestial Spirit Great World from before, he felt he could delay no longer.
The winged man held his tongue upon hearing this.
His gaze was suddenly drawn to the nine suns above Ye Tianjiâs head. He saw mysterious figures within the suns, flickering in and out of visibility as if they were in another dimension.
âThat isâŠâ
The winged manâs pupils suddenly constricted, his heart churning with shock. He hadnât expected Ye Tianji to summon them.
Could there be some terrifying existence hidden within the Celestial Spirit Great World that he didnât know about?
Was it the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable?
The winged man looked away, his gaze returning to the direction of the Celestial Spirit Great World.
The mighty army of the Battle Court moved forward through the void, as if nothing could stop them.
Meanwhile, in the Celestial Spirit Great World above, numerous figures suddenly appeared on the Celestial Dao Light Layer. Great Cultivators from every corner noticed the arrival of the Battle Court.
An indescribable sense of oppression was enveloping the Celestial Spirit Great World; the higher oneâs realm, the faster they felt it.
This reminded many of the time when the Profound Desolate Demon God had attacked.
Elsewhere.
Gu An was in the Third Medicine Valley, sitting in his chair, listening to An Xin recount the recent events within the Medicine Valley.
After An Xin finished, she asked with a hint of grievance, âMaster, when exactly are we leaving? If weâre not leaving now, itâs difficult for me to face them.â
Gu An smiled, âWhy are you in more of a hurry than I am?â
âYou donât have to face those people from the sect.â
âHave you chosen someone?â
âLetâs go with Long Qing. I can see that he doesnât want to retreat from the world with us.â
An Xin casually replied, unlike the others, she truly wished to put aside mundane affairs and enter prolonged cultivation.
Gu An smiled, âAlright, then it shall be him.â
His prompt agreement surprised An Xin.
âMaster, didnât you say he carries a Great Cause and Effect? Are you sure you can trust him to handle things on his own?â An Xin curiously asked.
Exactly what Great Cause and Effect Long Qing carried, not to mention himself, An Xin was also very curious.
Gu An answered, âIt doesnât matter. The Great Cause and Effect heâs carrying will dissipate soon.â
