Du Guangting, a Taoist priest in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, advanced the survival time of Guiguzi to Xuanyuan Huangdi, saying that Guiguzi went through the Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty and followed Taishang Laojun to educate the local people in the desert areas of the western regions. At the end of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he returned to the mainland to preach and teach, with hundreds of disciples (see Record of Different Immortals). According to this statement, Guiguzi lived for thousands of years.

Since then, it has been said that Guiguzi is the king in the Fairy Biography written by Ge Hong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. "Legend of the Immortal" said: "Wang Yuan, the word Fang, ... Fang Pingguo came, riding a feather car, driving five dragons, with different colors, leading the flag, and being as dignified as a general." It is also said that after the reunion of the king and the fairy Magu, Magu said, "Since we last met, I have seen the East China Sea turn into mulberry fields three times and mulberry fields into the East China Sea three times.

Now the water in the East China Sea is shallower than before, and it seems that it will become land again. The king went on to say, "the sea will also raise dust!" " Ma Gu used her magic to turn rice grains into pearls. Wang smiled and said, "Ma Gu is still young, so she likes to play this game. I am too old to play like her. " In this story, Guiguzi became a big fairy who lived with heaven and earth.
