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

Black Profound?

Gu An couldn't help but frown when he saw the first hint.

Could Black Profound Emperor be his Reincarnation Body?

He thought back carefully about the encounter Yang Xian had with Black Profound Emperor, who never revealed his true face, making it hard to judge.

But if Black Profound Emperor was him, why would he want to kill his own Reincarnation Body?

Gu An continued to read, developing a strong curiosity about this lifetime.

"At two years old, you were taken back to the Celestial Dark Demon Sect by a cultivator, and the cultivator Luo Abyss officially took you as his disciple."

"At four years old, Luo Abyss began to teach you the Cultivation Technique, and you displayed extraordinary talent that shocked Luo Abyss."

"At five years old, Luo Abyss left, leaving you alone in his Cave Mansion. A python he was keeping broke out of its cage, wanting to eat you. After a fierce battle, you killed the python and accidentally gained thirty years of life span, marking a turning point in your destiny."

"At six years old, you built your Foundation Establishment successfully with the Demon Core of the python."

"At seven years old, Luo Abyss returned. Knowing that you had killed the python, he didn't say anything but handed you a Secret Manual. You took the manual and saw five words written on the cover, 'Yin Yang Reversal Skill.'"

...

The following were years of cultivation. Black Profound showed strong talent, but whether he was the strongest among the Reincarnation Bodies was still hard to tell.

Until the age of twenty, Black Profound was sent down the mountain by Luo Abyss to gain experience for a century.

"At twenty-one years old, you met an elderly Daoist. He noticed your extraordinary demeanor and wanted to tell your fortune. Do you accept?"

Why does every reincarnation involve such encounters?

Could there be a scheme?

Gu An didn't believe in coincidences, and he chose to refuse.

"You refused for the Daoist to tell your fortune. The Daoist shook his head with regret, saying that you would meet again one day. You watched his retreating back and remained silent for a long time."

"At twenty-two years old, you encountered a Demon Race attacking the city. Without hesitating, you joined the battle along with a group of cultivators and successfully repelled the Demon Race. Because of your heavy killing aura, the city's civilians kept their distance from you, and even other cultivators were wary of you; unable to integrate, you silently left."

"At twenty-three years old, you encountered a Demon Cultivator committing evil acts; you eliminated the Demon Cultivator. The grateful mortal family from the city invited you to stay at their mansion for a few days. You agreed, and during the journey thereafter, you protected the family while defeating demons along the way. This caused the family to fear you even more. On the night before reaching the destination, you overheard them discussing how to send you away, and you left alone before dawn."

"At twenty-four years old, you came to Hanji City and heard that the city was hosting a Magic Battle Conference. Only young talents under the age of one hundred could enroll, and you decided to sign up. In the end, you defeated all the competitors, claiming first place powerfully and becoming famous citywide. At the celebration banquet, the City Lord wanted to betroth his daughter to you. Do you accept?"

No!

Although Black Profound might be the Black Profound Emperor, now it's Gu An's Reincarnation Body, and he can't allow his Reincarnation Body to have any weaknesses.

"Finding a Dao Companion is alright, but not now!"

"[You refused the City Lord's goodwill, and he shook his head, chuckled, and did not persist. The very next day, you took the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures you had won at the Magic Battle Conference and left. When you were about a hundred miles from Hanji City, you encountered a group of mysterious Cultivators who ambushed you. After a fierce battle, only one of them was left alive. Through coercion, you learned that it was the City Lord's arrangement, which infuriated you.]"

"[At the age of twenty-five, you entered the Demon Race's forest and began slaughtering demons extensively.]"

"[At the age of twenty-six, you returned to Hanji City and made your way to the City Lord's Mansion where you chose to force your way in. A great battle erupted, and in the end, you left the City Lord's Mansion full of corpses. The exhausted City Lord knelt on the ground, begging for your forgiveness. His daughter also ran over, standing in front of you, hoping you would spare her father. Will you choose to forgive the City Lord?]"

"Forgive what?"

"Did the City Lord ever forgive me?"

Gu An, identifying with the role of Black Profound, also felt angered and immediately chose no.

"[You ignored the pleas of the City Lord's daughter and beheaded the City Lord with a single sword strike. Then, you turned and left. Under the gloomy sky, the City Lord's daughter knelt on the ground, cursing you hoarsely and vowing to seek revenge in the future. You were indifferent and walked away proudly.]"

Gu An, seeing this, felt that Black Profound might have developed feelings for the girl.

Through this journey, how intense Black Profound's killing intent had been, almost catching up to Long Zhan. Could he actually have spared the City Lord's daughter?

The image of Black Profound in Gu An's mind became even more nuanced, and as for the consequences of sparing the City Lord's daughter, Gu An was not worried.

With the life-controlling Black Profound Emperor evolving rapidly, his early life's enemies would hardly impact his future.

In the subsequent prompts, Black Profound clearly relied heavily on life evolution, killing relentlessly each year, even routinely slaughtering the Alien Race, making Gu An feel his growth rate would exceed his past lives.

After a century, Black Profound returned to the Celestial Dark Demon Sect.

"[At the age of one hundred twenty-one, you returned to Luo Abyss's Cave Mansion and unexpectedly learned of Luo Abyss's death, the cause being Demonic Possession that led him to harm his fellow sect members, and he was slain by a Great Cultivator from within the sect in time. You found the incident highly suspicious. While staying at the Celestial Dark Demon Sect to cultivate, you began investigating the truth behind your master's death.]"

"[At the age of one hundred twenty-two, you stumbled upon another disciple of Luo Abyss within the sect. After a discussion, you opened your heart, believing that your master could not have been possessed demonically. After hesitating, the other disciple suggested that the cause of the master's death might have been offending the Vice Sect Hierarch, giving you a direction for your investigation.]"

"[At the age of one hundred twenty-three, while you were cultivating in the Cave Mansion, you felt strong auras approaching. Before you could think further, the Restriction of the Cave Mansion was broken, and a group of Law Enforcement Disciples forcibly entered, accusing you of Demonic Possession and harming your fellow sect members. They attempted to execute you on the spot. After a fierce battle, you escaped but were met with more opponents. You kept killing as you fled, leaving the Celestial Dark Demon Sect and heading north.]"

"[At the age of one hundred twenty-four, you arrived in the Land of the North Nether. Standing on a cliff, you were awestruck by the sight of Kun leaping from the boundless ocean, which led you into a state of Profound Mystery and Enlightenment.]"

"[At the age of one hundred twenty-five, deep in the glacier, you discovered a mysterious Cave Mansion. After days of research, you successfully deciphered the clues of the Restrictions left on the Cave Mansion. You stepped inside and, after facing nine mechanisms, saw a Stele inscribed with the words 'Cause and Effect.' Feeling the dense Spiritual Energy within the Cave Mansion, you decided to go into seclusion there, planning to seek revenge on the Celestial Dark Demon Sect later.]"

"[At the age of one hundred thirty-five, you entered the Mahayana Realm, prepared to return to the Celestial Dark Demon Sect. Just as you were about to leave, the Cause and Effect Stele vibrated, and a powerful force absorbed you into it.]"

"[You found yourself in a dimly lit cave. Turning around, you saw that the Stele behind you was different from the previous Cause and Effect Stele; it had no inscriptions and was covered in cracks and dust. No matter how you applied your powers, the Stele remained inert. You chose to walk out of the cave. Outside the cave wasn't the glacier anymore but a world resembling the Immortal Realm, filled with abundant Spiritual Energy that astounded you.]"

"[Just as you were immersed in the magnificent scenes of nature, a white-robed woman resembling a Fairy descended from the sky and landed beside you. You couldn't discern her Cultivation Level, so you were very vigilant. The white-robed woman asked if you had ascended from the Lower Realm, which puzzled you further. She invited you to join the Profound Clear Immortal Sect, will you agree?]" Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire

"Ascended?"

Gu An had never heard of the Profound Clear Immortal Sect, but it seemed Black Profound had no other choice; if the other party harbored ill intentions, even if he refused, he would still face trouble. Why not join and see?
