In the early morning,
Gu An stepped out from the loft in Mystic Valley and, after descending the stairs, he joined the disciples in practice drills.
Lu Jiujia, exceptionally joining the drill this time, chatted with his fellow disciples while they practiced.
“Senior brother, when do you think I can unlock the Cultivation Technique?” Lu Jiujia suddenly asked, his tone filled with anticipation.
He was currently cultivating the Primordial Reincarnation Skill, and he felt that the Primordial Reincarnation Skill was more profound than the Daoist Expansion Skill, which made him even more hopeful about his future.
Gu An glanced at his Life Span, saying, “Wait a few more decades, don’t rush it.”
Lu Jiujia nodded; he trusted Gu An completely, especially since Gu An was already a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.
In his eyes, although Gu An possessed a very mediocre Spirit Root Qualification, the fact that Gu An had reached the Nascent Soul Realm by the age of four hundred showed that he had extraordinary comprehension.
He guessed that behind the Primordial Reincarnation Skill lay unimaginable great karmic connections, and listening to Gu An was his only chance for enlightenment in this lifetime.
They talked until the practice drills ended, and then Gu An left.
He returned to the Third Medicine Valley and, as usual, he spoke a few words with the disciples he met along the way; today he was in an even better mood.
Having reached a Life Span of ten billion years, it was time for a breakthrough!
He projected his Divine Sense into the cosmos. Although he had already chosen a location, he feared that living beings might intrude nearby, so he needed to observe it again.
Suddenly, he came up with a bold idea.
Should he attempt to break through in the Silent Destruction Domain?
The Silent Destruction Domain was even more vast, and it also contained abundant Spiritual Energy.
Judging by the commotion caused by his last breakthrough to the Divine Thought True Immortal Realm, this time it could possibly alarm the Great Heavenly Spirit Land.
Gu An did not want the Holy Court or the Immortal Dynasty to discover the birth of a new Ninth Level of Immortal Path.
The Ninth Level of the Immortal Path, known as the Free Immortal!
Thinking of how powerful Long Zhan and Lu Han were when they reached this level, Gu An felt an intense surge of excitement.
After making a round in the Third Medicine Valley, Gu An returned to his loft. He then projected his Divine Sense into the Silent Destruction Domain.
The cosmic space within the Silent Destruction Domain was even darker, stars unseen, permeated with a murky Taoist aura, giving one a sense of oppression.
In the Silent Destruction Domain, many enormous fierce beasts roamed, some even as large as the Taicang Continent.
After a long while,
Gu An found the location for his breakthrough and decided to make his breakthrough tonight.
Gu An withdrew his Divine Sense and suddenly thought of the Life Span Simulation.
Should he simulate crossing the Tribulation?
Immediately, he activated the Life Span Simulation, thinking of the Tribulation Crossing.
[Simulating the evolution of your current realm to cross the tribulation will consume 1,000,000 years of Life Span. Continue?]
One million years?
What a scam!
How could Gu An dare to continue when there was a high probability of failing the Tribulation Crossing? After all, he could only rely on his physique to survive the simulated tribulation.
Gu An turned his head, his gaze falling on the Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor.
The Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor was at the eighth level of Divine Thought True Immortal Cultivation. Should he try to battle him to see whose actual combat strength was superior?
Gu An immediately started simulating the Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor.
[Locking onto the Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor, beginning deduction simulation value]
[Simulating a battle with the current Tao Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor will consume 1,000 years of Life Span. Continue?]
Only a thousand years?
Gu An was pleasantly surprised, then instantly realized the trap.
If he won, all was well, but if he lost, he would definitely dwell on it, and ten times that would be ten thousand years of Life Span; a total consumer trap.
Oh well, let’s try it just once!
Gu An chose to continue, then closed his eyes, his thoughts entering the Simulation Space. The environment was still the Supreme Sect, enormously vast. Other than him and the Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor, no one else was visible.
The Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor rose from behind a distant peak, looking down from high above at the standing area in the Third Medicine Valley.
Watching the Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor, Gu An suddenly had a nostalgic feeling of playing one-on-one battle games from a past life, finding it quite amusing.
Start the battle!
Boom!
In an instant, the entire Supreme Sect turned to flying ash. From high above, the vast Taicang Continent also shattered, with nearby oceans stirring up terrifying waves.
After the duration of 30 minutes…
Gu An opened his eyes, his expression peculiar.
“Why is he so weak?”
Gu An felt helpless; if it wasn’t for the fact that he’d spent a thousand years of Life Span, he could have easily killed the Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor. Thus, during the simulated battle, he let the Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor attack most of the time, who had great difficulty breaking through the defenses of the Daoist Gang Primal Energy and the Primordial Ultimate Body.
Gu An built confidence in himself.
Indeed, he was very strong within his own realm, not to be misled by his failure in crossing the Tribulation.
High-level cultivators all have significant backgrounds, and crossing the Tribulation certainly isn’t reliant on one’s own power alone.
Moreover, the Heavenly Tribulations Gu An faced were stronger than those of his peers, evident just from the name of the tribulations.
Gu An calmed his feelings, closed his eyes, and dozed off in his chair, waiting for nightfall.
…
In the evening, Gu An left the Third Medicine Valley, his departure done openly, and also through the Teleportation Array, leaving the Valley’s disciples without doubts since he often visited other Medicine Valleys.
After arriving at Mystic Valley, Gu An stayed for a while before leaving.
He walked through the forest for an hour before vanishing into thin air.
He performed the Ultimate Taoist Invisibility, turning himself into nothingness, and left the cosmos at full speed.
Upon entering the Silent Destruction Domain, he flew towards the location he had previously chosen.
Soon, he landed on a meteor, with other various-sized meteorites in the distance; the meteor he was on was situated at the edge of the meteor cluster, quite inconspicuous.
The moment he landed, Gu An activated the Life Span Barrier.
Then he finally breathed a sigh of relief and comfortably sat in meditation.
He did not start upgrading immediately, but instead looked into the distance, sensing the surrounding rule forces.
He found that the rule forces here were very similar to those around the Divine Origin Great Heaven and Earth and the Primordial Great Heaven and Earth.
Could all Great Heavens and Earths be encircled by the Silent Destruction Domain?
Or was the universe initially a Silent Destruction Domain scene, with the Great Heavens and Earth being born later?
Gu An delved into deep thought, and after a while, he finally pulled up his Attribute Panel.
[Name: Gu An]
[Life Span: 419/1,030,812,376]
[Physique: Primordial Ultimate Body]
[Cultivation: Ninth Layer of Divine Thought True Immortal Realm]
…
Ten billion years of Life Span, the more he looked, the more exciting it was!
First, let’s upgrade the physique.
Previously, he had used twenty million years of Life Span to upgrade the Primordial Karmic Body to the Primordial Chaos Body and then upgraded to the Primordial Ultimate Body.
This time, upgrading the Primordial Ultimate Body would require at least another twenty million years of Life Span, right?
Forget it, let’s go bold: throw in fifty million years of Life Span! Physique not only affects qualification but also impacts actual combat abilities. The stronger the strength, the higher the success rate of crossing the Tribulation.
Gu An immediately infused fifty million years of Life Span into the Primordial Ultimate Body!
His Life Span abruptly dropped by a digit, falling to over nine hundred and eighty million years.
A whirl of prompts crazily popped before Gu An’s eyes.
For the first thirty million years, the Primordial Ultimate Body did not undergo transformation but continued to strengthen.
Until thirty-five million years, the Primordial Ultimate Body transformed into the Chaos-refined Illusory Body.
Then, the Chaos-refined Illusory Body continued to sense the Tao Rules, constantly enhancing its Perception Power of the Tao Rules.
Ultimately, the Chaos-refined Illusory Body could not advance further, but Gu An was already satisfied.
Boom—
The surrounding Spiritual Energy frenziedly surged towards Gu An.
The Spiritual Energy within the Silent Destruction Domain was of a higher grade than the nature’s Spiritual Energy, mixed with an essence of Tao Rules, and was known as Tao Spiritual Energy. Absorbing Tao Spiritual Energy could not only enhance Cultivation but also amplify the Perception Power of Tao.
Of course, if the Cultivation Realm was insufficient, absorbing Tao Spiritual Energy would only damage the physique and harm the Soul.
It seemed, thus, that the mysterious light covering the Great Heavenly Spirit Land might be a protective measure; reaching the level of Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal would ensure safe absorption of Tao Spiritual Energy.
Gu An closed his eyes, fully immersing himself in enlightenment, feeling the creation of the Chaos-refined Illusory Body.
After transforming the Primordial Ultimate Body into the Chaos-refined Illusory Body, its Great Divine Power, the Ultimate Tao Chaos Pan, although not qualitatively changed, was fully unleashed, reaching a pinnacle state.
The Ultimate Tao Chaos Pan was a type of Great Divine Power; Gu An had used it before in simulated battles, able to effortlessly crush the Sun and Moon Netherworld Emperor.
If deployed at full power, it could even engulf the entire Great Heavenly Spirit Land.
If Gu An’s Cultivation was more robust, he could unleash even more terrifying might.
As Tao Spiritual Energy furiously entered Gu An’s body, the cosmic space around him stirred up Tao winds, whimsical and wanton, shaking the distant meteor cluster.
Just as this commotion started, Gu An sensed many powerful Divine Senses and Divine Thoughts sweeping over.
The weakest was from the realm of Divine Immortal of Wondrous Dharma!
Sure enough, the Silent Destruction Domain harbored numerous fearsome beings.
As time passed, more and more Divine Thoughts appeared, signifying that he had alarmed the Divine Thought True Immortals.
Fortunately, those beings only used Divine Thoughts for observation and did not personally patrol.
An hour later,
Gu An successfully cultivated the Chaos-refined Illusory Body. He opened his eyes to see that the Life Span Barrier had consumed five million years of Life Span.
Such a huge consumption!
Gu An again pulled up his Attribute Panel, looking at his main Cultivation Technique, the Myriad Creation Limitless Skill.
Upgrading from the Primordial Chaos Supreme Holy Skill to the Myriad Creation Limitless Skill had earlier cost twenty million years of Life Span; Gu An now planned to throw in another fifty million years of Life Span.
Cultivation Techniques and physiques were the most crucial; other Divine Skills and Ultimate Skills were just embellishments. Currently, he had too many Daoist Sorceries; it wasn’t feasible to upgrade them all.
Fifty million years of Life Span, throw!
One digital prompt after another jumped before his eyes, and he carefully observed.
Eventually, the Myriad Creation Limitless Skill was upgraded to the Eternal Infinite Skill!
An overwhelming legacy memory surged into Gu An’s mind.
The function of the Eternal Infinite Skill allowed Gu An’s Mana to exist indefinitely unless erased by a stronger force.
Besides this characteristic, the strength of Gu An’s Mana also increased severally; deploying the same amount of Mana, his destructive power was now several times stronger than before.
The Divine Skill awakening from the Myriad Creation Limitless Skill, the Unlimited Avatars, was also enhanced; his avatars could now exist indefinitely as well, but the avatars could not have separate Spiritual Wisdom. The existences of the Unlimited Avatars meant that Gu An had additional eyes and bodies. The avatars were only made from Mana, hence not as strong as the original.
Who knew who could force Gu An to deploy the Unlimited Avatars?
He possessed many Divine Skills, but he rarely used any; of course, he hoped not to encounter a situation where he had to use all his skills to survive a crisis.
The Tao Spiritual Energy erupted again, and this time, it finally alarmed a powerful being to appear.
Gu An lifted his eyes to see a massive figure emerging from the darkness, just an outline, resembling some Demon Creature. This was also the largest being Gu An had ever seen in his life, larger than the Great Heaven and Earth; merely looking at its form was enough to feel the oppressiveness exuded by the other party.
