Chapter 656: Chapter 648: Endless Dao Mountain
After parting with Emperor Tianhong, Gu An took a trip to the Tai Cang Continent, picking medicinal herbs at the Mountain God Temple, then went alone into the uninhabited mountains and forests, far away from the mundane world.
He sat under a tree and activated the lifespan breakthrough.
[You have activated the Lifespan Breakthrough Function. Based on your current realm, the following breakthrough locations have been selected for you]
[1. Path of the Great Dao]
[2. War Spirit Holy Mansion]
[3. Taiwei Earth Core]
[4. Ling Mountain]
[5. River of Destiny]
[6. Endless Dao Mountain]
[7. Primordial Emperor Domain]
[8. Profound Abyss Divine Pool]
[9. Supreme Origin Forest]
Looking at the options in front of him, Gu An frowned slightly.
He didn’t see the Desperate Celestial Tomb.
He was still planning to find a way to rescue the sins within the Desperate Celestial Tomb after breaking through.
In his view, when he breaks through again, he should have the strength to see through the Desperate Celestial Tomb.
Don’t mention Miao Zhen Daluo Immortal, even ordinary Heaven-Opening Daluo Immortals are rarely seen. Breaking through to a higher realm, even if he’s not the strongest, he should be among the stronger existences within the Great Dao.
After saving the sins, he could further investigate Fairy Yao Xuan’s causality through them, thereby resolving the obsessions left by the Emperor of Eternal Life.
These matters, to Gu An, didn’t feel troublesome, but rather filled him with anticipation.
In becoming stronger through cultivation, one must have opportunities to demonstrate!
“Could it be because the Desperate Celestial Tomb cannot withstand my breakthrough, and these places can, that the Celestial Tomb did not appear?”
Gu An suddenly had a speculation.
If so, could it be inferred that these nine places possess power beyond the Miao Zhen Daluo Immortal?
Even if they don’t, these places can still nurture stronger Daluo Immortals, something beyond the capability of the Celestial Spirit Great World.
Don’t mention Daluo Immortals; the Celestial Spirit Great World can’t even nurture Golden Immortals.
Gu An silently pondered, and after some thought, he chose Endless Dao Mountain.
The name alone sounded profound and elusive, and it provided better concealment.
[To be teleported to Endless Dao Mountain will consume 10,000,000,000 years of life span. Do you wish to continue]
Continue!
An unfamiliar sensation surged forth, causing him to instinctively close his eyes, and his senses followed suit, losing function.
After a while, he felt his feet touch the ground, and he immediately opened his eyes, almost instantly activating the Life Span Barrier.
After setting up the Life Span Barrier, he had time to observe the environment.
As far as the eye could see, the celestial vault was dim as the void of the universe, with towering mountains standing on the earth, rising and falling, their ends unseen, and the number of peaks uncountable.
Even at his Miaozhen Daluo Immortal Realm Perfection state, Gu An could not see the boundaries of this world.
Is this another place in an infinitely expanding universe and earth?
He observed that every mountain around him contained an immense Dao intent, as if nurturing a Great Dao.
The oppressive atmosphere of the world made the Endless Dao Mountain appear like majestic deities in the darkness, exuding a sense of vastness and magnitude.
The mountain under Gu An’s feet was extraordinarily huge; even standing on the summit felt like standing on a vast continent. Its height exceeded the distance from the Nine Spirit Continent’s ground to Outer Heaven.
The mountain he stood upon wasn’t even the highest Dao Mountain; in the distance stood towering mountains like heavenly barriers, imposing to the extreme.
“Endless Dao Mountain, I wonder how far it is from the Great Thousand World…” thought Gu An curiously, as he had never heard of the Endless Dao Mountain before.
The more mysterious and powerful places there were, the happier Gu An felt.
If the end of the Great Dao were so easy to reach, the joy of cultivation would diminish significantly.
Gu An sat down cross-legged and then called up the Attribute Panel.
First, he worked to enhance his physique, as it had been a while since he made any improvements!
Gu An invested one hundred billion years of life span directly, but the Primordial Reincarnation Undying Body did not transform.
He continued investing.
Ultimately, after spending a total of four hundred billion years of life span, the Primordial Reincarnation Undying Body ascended to the Primordial Dao Creation Body.
Vast amounts of Dao Spiritual Qi gathered, causing the ground beneath Gu An’s feet to light up with Dao Light, confined within the barrier, while the mountains’ surface outside the barrier exhibited no changes for the time being.
Soon, Gu An became engrossed in the inheritance.
The Primordial Dao Creation Body retained the features of the previous physique, undying through reincarnation, ferocious mana, and the capability to create new Great Dao.
Indeed, Great Dao independent of the Three Thousand Great Dao!
It’s based on personal mana and physical strength.
Just like before, no matter how mighty the transformation, Gu An completed the transformation in less than an hour.
He opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them.
Create a Dao?
He suddenly thought, with countless Great Dao, even he couldn’t ascertain the exact number. Could some Great Dao have been created by cultivators?
This hypothesis could not be answered for the time being, so he turned his gaze to the cultivation techniques in the Attribute Panel.
Next was the enhancement of the main cultivation technique!
Gu An invested one hundred billion years of life span into the Daoist Dominator Skill.
Finally, after expending nearly three hundred and fifty billion years of life span, he upgraded the Daoist Dominator Skill to the Myriad Dao Extinction Skill!
The Myriad Dao Extinction Skill shifted from the previous vastness to one filled with slaughter traits, with domination leading to extinction, leaving not a trace, ultimately leaving only oneself, surpassing the Great Dao.
An hour later, Gu An continued upgrading.
Sun and Moon Selfless Divine Dao ascended to Dao Qi Eternal Divine Sense, consuming nearly three hundred billion years of life span. This was Gu An’s main reliance for hiding cultivation level and aura; he wouldn’t neglect it.
The upgrades continued!
Daoless Celestial Net Step ascended to Great Primordial Celestial Net Step, consuming nearly four hundred billion years of life span!
Hongmeng Void Golden Body ascended to Great Dao Formless Body, consuming three hundred billion years of life span.
This secret skill evolved from the Demon Shadow Divine Skill, capable of transformation and isolating causality and fate deductions, greatly aiding Gu An in remaining concealed.
Another hour passed.
Gu An mastered the Great Dao Formless Body. Even without activating this secret skill, his physical body possessed the capability to avoid being deduced, and this body could also elevate his aura and suppression, serving as a suppressive divine skill.
Having completed the conventional enhancements, he had to consider battle methods next.
According to past conventions, Gu An should improve his Sword Dao, but now he wanted to enhance the Immortal Emperor’s Eye.
The Immortal Emperor’s Eye was too powerful for him to give up, but it would provoke the Celestial Court’s suspicion. He must upgrade the Immortal Emperor’s Eye to a stronger stage to avoid their detection.
While Gu An contemplated, changes emerged in the tumultuous Endless Dao Mountain.
Due to Gu An’s continuous upgrades of Daoist Techniques, the Dao Rules in the heavens and earth began having strange alterations, causing gales to roar, lightning to flash, thunder to rumble, and some Dao Mountains to faintly tremble.
Before, there had been no sign of any living being.
But now, they appeared!
Gu An looked in a direction, spotting a massive black silhouette on the summit of a majestic Dao Mountain far away. The figure was humanoid, standing atop the peak, mysterious to the extreme, akin to an ancient Demon God.
He couldn’t use Life Span Detection on it, indicating the other party had not revealed their true self.
Even so, the other party’s aura sent chills through his heart.
Miao Zhen Daluo Immortal!
And not at the early stage!
Gu An merely glanced over and paid no mind. With the Life Span Barrier in place, it would be difficult for the other party to discover him.
He began to invest life span into the Immortal Emperor’s Eye.
Right from the start, it was a hundred billion years of life span!
