Chapter 531: Chapter 528: Breakthrough to Balancing Heaven Golden Immortal Realm Perfection
Gu An looked at the nine options before him, sinking into contemplation.
These names all seemed good, but some places were forbidden.
The War Spirit Holy Mansion, wouldn’t have anything to do with the Battle Court, right?
Netherworld Deep Sea is out of the question; the Land of Reincarnation is also very dangerous; the Ghost Immortals of the Nine Yin Divine Mansion are terrifying, it would be troublesome if encountered.
The Path of the Great Dao, that’s the cosmic space beyond the World Gate, linking the different Great Thousand Worlds, who knows what one might run into.
Gu An began to weigh his options, judging by the names was indeed difficult, his current Cultivation Level was not enough to deduce the origins of these place names.
…
Clearly, these places were not part of the Celestial Spirit Great World, they were located beyond the World Gate.
He pondered and pondered.
Gu An decided to break through in the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens; with a thought, he immediately made his decision.
“Transferring to Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens will cost 10,000,000,000 years of Life Span. Continue?”
Ten billion years?
Wouldn’t that be twenty billion years of Life Span back and forth?
Gu An’s brows furrowed; he had guessed that the Life Span Breakthrough would be costly, after all, it was a life span function that was enabled by a hundred billion years of life span; the consumption of life span would definitely be huge.
But he had to break through.
The remaining eighty billion years of life span should be enough for his breakthrough.
Now he could only hope that this place of breakthrough was worthy of the life span he was about to spend.
After a moment’s hesitation, Gu An chose to continue the transfer.
As soon as the thought settled, he felt an irresistible force envelop him; he didn’t feel uncomfortable but rather felt an indescribable sense of Profound Mystery.
His eyes involuntarily closed, and his senses went numb.
After a while.
Gu An felt his feet touch the ground, his senses returned to normal in an instant, and he opened his eyes, his pupils dilating.
What entered his sight was a boundless sea of clouds, the sky a deep blue, so high it made one feel the vastness of the Great Heaven and Earth, and one could only feel an infinite awe standing in it.
Gu An opened his mouth, filled with shock.
Such dense Dao Spiritual Qi!
The Dao Spiritual Qi here was denser than that in the universe outside the Celestial Spirit Great Heaven and Earth and purer too, without a hint of impurity.
Gu An felt that the ten billion years of Life Span were well spent.
He immediately activated the Life Span Barrier to prevent the passing of other powerful beings.
The Life Span Breakthrough would take him to a safe place, but it didn’t mean this place would always be safe.
After the Life Span Barrier was activated, Gu An’s heart finally settled.
One must be cautious in an unknown land.
Instead of breaking through immediately, he decided to meditate on the spot, soaking in the majestic sea of clouds.
Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens, could it be there were nine layers of the sky?
Gu An thought as he spread his Divine Sense, rapidly expanding it.
However, he found that the sea of clouds was much larger than he imagined; most importantly, his Divine Sense could not penetrate downward because the cloud sea beneath his feet was bottomless, with some sort of Great Dao power isolating all Divine Sense.
He seemed to be in the sky, yet he was at the very bottom.
After a good while, Gu An’s Divine Sense still could not probe the end of the sea of clouds.
Could this sea of clouds be more vast than the universe he came from?
The thought was so preposterous that Gu An felt it was absurd, creating even more wariness towards the Celestial Extreme Nine Heavens.
Dao Spiritual Qi that was more dense and pure than in the universe; the space that was vaster than the universe; what kind of terrifying existence could such a place give birth to?
Gu An took a deep breath and tried not to think about it.
He called up his Attribute Panel.
Name: Gu An
Life Span: 6,815/90,000,000,075
Physique: Primordial Infinite Body

[Cultivation Level: Innate Golden Immortal Realm Perfection]
…
Nine hundred billion years of life span, leave one hundred billion for transmission, leave fifty billion for the Life Span Barrier.
That amounts to using seven hundred and fifty billion years of life span for the breakthrough.
Should be doable, right?
The last time Gu An tried to cross the tribulation, each failure cost him fifty million years of life span to attempt again.
This time it won’t take a hundred million years, will it?
If it really does take a hundred million years of life span for one tribulation attempt, then Gu An has seven hundred and fifty chances.
No big deal!
It’s just not good to go for an all-round improvement first.
Well, let’s widen the gap in realms first, there’s plenty of time to improve Daoist Techniques later.
No matter what Gu An chooses, there are pros and cons, but overall, he has been on a steady path to becoming stronger, and that’s the right direction.
Gu An looks at his cultivation level and directly invests one hundred billion years of life span.
A series of prompts quickly pop up before his eyes:
[You have practiced Qi Absorption Cultivation for one hundred billion years, you forcefully attempt to break through to the Heaven Balancing Golden Immortal Realm using the Great Achievement of the Great Dao Great Freedom As You Wish Bible, you begin to cross the tribulation, you do not survive the Celestial Dao Three Flowers Void Great Tribulation, the tribulation has failed]
[You have practiced Qi Absorption Cultivation for two hundred billion years, you forcefully attempt to break through to the Heaven Balancing Golden Immortal Realm using the Great Achievement of the Great Dao Great Freedom As You Wish Bible, you begin to cross the tribulation, you do not survive the Celestial Dao Three Flowers Void Great Tribulation, the tribulation has failed]
…
Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal!
As expected, it takes one hundred million years for one tribulation attempt!
Gu An adjusts his mentality and starts to anticipate how strong the Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal will be.
Finally, all the prompts drop, and there’s still no success in crossing the tribulation.
Invest another hundred billion years!
Gu An stares expressionlessly at the prompts.
After failure, continue!
One hundred billion years of life span!
Another hundred billion years of life span!
Finally, the prompts before Gu An start to change.
[You have practiced Qi Absorption Cultivation for fifty-six billion years, you forcefully attempt to break through to the Heaven Balancing Golden Immortal Realm using the Great Achievement of the Great Dao Great Freedom As You Wish Bible, you begin to cross the tribulation, you survive the Celestial Dao Three Flowers Void Great Tribulation, the tribulation has been successful, your cultivation level has broken through to the Early Stage of Hengtian Golden Immortal Realm]
[You have practiced Qi Absorption Cultivation for one hundred billion years, your cultivation level has increased]
Finally, the breakthrough is successful!
Gu An lets out a sigh of relief, no matter how many years of life span are spent, as long as the breakthrough is successful, it’s worth it.
He doesn’t stop there but chooses to continue investing life span.
One breath to rise to Balancing Heaven Golden Immortal Realm Perfection!
In the end, he still had over two hundred and eighty billion years of life span left, leaving one hundred billion for transmission back, the remaining over one hundred and eighty billion years of life span couldn’t possibly get drained by the Life Span Barrier.
Gu An’s mood becomes joyful, his lips curl up in a smile.
The mighty Dao Spiritual Qi floods into his body, as always, the Life Span Barrier extracts Dao Spiritual Qi and Dao Rules in an unpredictable manner, making it impossible for the outside world to discern where the source lies.
The sea of clouds in Gu An’s vision begins to churn more and more magnificently.
As the Dao Spiritual Qi enters his body, Gu An feels an unprecedented comfort, his physique, from the outside in, everything is being purified.
He gradually closes his eyes, immersed in this extreme pleasure, unable to extricate himself.
The boundless sea of clouds becomes more turbulent, majestic and powerful, with no living creature’s figure sweeping through, this world seems to have only the sea of clouds.
Insights about the Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal Realm begin to burst forth in the depths of Gu An’s mind.
His Golden Immortal Dao Fruit also undergoes changes.
Within the Life Span Barrier, Gu An emits a colorful strong light all over, barely revealing his figure, Dao Spiritual Qi enwraps him like flood dragons, with faint streaks of flowing light, which are the Dao Rules in motion.
A long while.
Suddenly, the sea of clouds at the horizon lifts, like a huge wave wanting to envelop the sky, or as if some enormous creature is about to break out, instilling fear in all who see it.
