Chapter 171: Wandering Immortal, Nine Layers, Roaming the Heavens and Earth
Chapter 171: Wandering Immortal, Nine Layers, Roaming the Heavens and Earth
It took Gu An four full hours to advance from the ninth layer of the Nirvana Realm to the ninth layer of the Free Immortal Realm.
Upon reaching the Free Immortal Realm, his spiritual power doubled, and he simultaneously felt freed from many constraints that bound all living beings, such as the ability to fly or dive into the ocean without the use of spiritual power, or even transitioning his physical body into a spiritual form, effortlessly phasing through any earthly obstruction.
It was indescribably wonderful!
When his cultivation reached the eighth layer of the Free Immortal Realm, Gu An felt the entire ocean raging, and even witnessed battles between great cultivators of the Nirvana Realm in the distance, filling him with guilt.
The experiences of these two days made him realize the vastness of the world, and how countless powerful auras had passed through this area.
Lu Lingjun's ascension was not a mistake. In a sense, this realm was equivalent to the Spirit Realm or the Immortal Realm, a world beyond the comprehension of mortals.
Take Gu An's Earth from his previous life, for example; it might not even be as grand as the Great Cang Empire here.
Gu An recalled how Lu Lingjun and Bai Lingyao, the White Spirit Demon Emperor, referred to this realm.
The Grand Spirit Great Realm!
Just how vast was this so-called Great Realm?
Gu An couldn't help but look up at the vast sky.
Come to think of it, he had never explored just how high the heavens were.
Back when he was in the Nirvana Realm, he had tried to probe upwards with his spiritual sense, only to be met with fear.
His spiritual sense was unable to surpass the celestial canopy. The sky in the Grand Spirit Great Realm seemed infinitely high, and this realization greatly shocked Gu An, a man who had established his own cosmological views in his previous life.
However, upon reaching the Free Immortal Realm, Gu An could faintly sense a mysterious power in the heavens that even Free Immortals dared not approach casually.
It was not the aura of living beings, but rather, the might of the heavens themselves!
Gu An took a deep breath and lowered his head, his gaze falling onto the attribute panel, his eyes filled with determination.
Since he had already made such a ruckus, he might as well continue to raise his cultivation!
One million years of lifespan, invested!
A flurry of prompts flashed crazily:
Failure!
Failure!
Failure!
Gu An remained optimistic. Five million years of lifespan—surely it wouldn't be impossible to break through the Yin-Yang, Xuan-Huang, and Five Emperors Tribulations?
I don't believe it!
As soon as this thought arose, the one million years of lifespan he had invested all failed to overcome the tribulation.
Unfazed, he continued to invest another one million years of lifespan.
Failure continued to plague his attempts.
He reminded himself that he was now a great cultivator of the ninth layer of the Free Immortal Realm, his Dao heart firm and unshaken.
Unmoved by external influences, unaffected by personal gains or losses...
For the third time, he invested another one million years of lifespan!
After a moment, Gu An couldn't help but utter a curse: "Damn!"
The composure he had cultivated over ninety-one years in the cultivation world had finally been broken, and he had blurted out a curse word from the depths of his soul!
Gu An dared not invest another million years, so he chose to invest fifty thousand years instead.
May the heavens bless me!
No, since I'm already going against the heavens, I should ask for the blessing of my master, Cheng Xuandan!
Once again, failure flooded his vision.
However, when one particular prompt appeared with a noticeably longer message, his heart was filled with wild joy.
It's here!
【You have cultivated by absorbing ambient spiritual energy for 350,000 years. With your profound mastery of the Grand Cosmos Primordial Technique, you forcefully breakthrough to the Wandering Immortal Realm and begin your tribulation. You endure the Yin-Yang, Xuan-Huang, and Five Emperors Tribulations, and your cultivation successfully breaks through to the first layer of the Wandering Immortal Realm.】
【After cultivating by absorbing ambient spiritual energy for 355,000 years, your cultivation breaks through to the second layer of the Wandering Immortal Realm.】
【After cultivating by absorbing ambient spiritual energy for 360,000 years, your cultivation breaks through to the third layer of the Wandering Immortal Realm.】
...
【After cultivating by absorbing ambient spiritual energy for 440,000 years, your cultivation breaks through to the ninth layer of the Wandering Immortal Realm.】
【After cultivating by absorbing ambient spiritual energy for 460,000 years, with your profound mastery of the Grand Cosmos Primordial Technique, you forcefully attempt to breakthrough to the Heaven-Flying Immortal Realm and begin your tribulation. However, you are unable to endure the Heaven's Will Grand Tribulation, and your breakthrough fails.】
...
In the following four thousand years, there were only failures, with a tribulation occurring once every two thousand years.
Whoosh—
Ninth layer of the Wandering Immortal Realm!
What a rush!
Vast amounts of earth spirit qi surged, and the rumbling of the earth resembled the roar of a dragon, reverberating in his ears as if the heavens and the earth were celebrating with him, filling his heart with indescribable joy.
The heavens do not betray those who invest in their lifespan!
The Heaven-Flying Immortal Realm, could one truly fly out of this realm?
Gu An wondered, his heart filled with boundless anticipation.
He now only had one million and six hundred thousand years of lifespan left and dared not attempt another tribulation.
If he were to deplete his lifespan and die suddenly, it would truly be a waste of this life!
The ninth layer of the Wandering Immortal Realm should be enough, right?
Currently, there were no apparent Nirvana Realm cultivators on the continent, though there might be some in the Demon Lands or the Seven Star Spirit Realm, hidden in the shadows.
There might be Free Immortals in the Seven Star Spirit Realm, but could they be a match for him, a Wandering Immortal?
Even if there were such ancient monsters, Gu An could afford to wait a few more decades. Regardless of the one billion years cultivation plan, he could forcefully raise his cultivation. He refused to believe that the Seven Star Spirit Realm could defeat him, a man with so many cheats!
No, I haven't cheated at all. My cultivation is entirely due to my own hard work!
Gu An consoled himself.
The rate at which the earth spirit qi surged into his body was far beyond what it had been before. The Lifespan Barrier's range for absorbing spirit qi continued to expand, and Gu An could sense powerful auras in every direction.
The aura of Free Immortals had appeared!
Could there be a Wandering Immortal as well?
Gu An was secretly nervous, as he had just reached this realm and did not want to encounter someone of the same level.
As time passed, Gu An continued to challenge the Wandering Immortal Realm, and the mysteries of this realm continued to unfold in his mind.
Wandering Immortal, a celestial being who roams the heavens and the earth, soaring to the highest skies and plunging into the deepest depths. The physical body and the spiritual form merge as one, moving freely between the heavens and the earth. The spiritual form is no longer fragile and even possesses strength surpassing that of the physical body.
Having reached this level, his soul power surpassed his magic for the first time. Of course, his magic also underwent a metamorphosis.
The higher one goes in the Immortal Dao's Nine Heavens, the greater the gap between each layer!
Just as Gu An was immersed in his breakthrough, a tremendous wave suddenly rose in the west, towering a thousand feet high and startling him so much that he turned to look.
Boom!
The island where Gu An was located was submerged by the giant wave. Before the island could resurface, the surrounding seas began to churn violently.
Gu An clearly felt something collide with the island, causing the mountain at its base to fracture, and he began to fall with it.
The might of the Lifespan Barrier was fully demonstrated as the barrier descended, but he remained as still as if he were meditating on the ground, without any sense of bumpiness, and the earth spirit qi continued to surge into his body.
He lifted his eyes, peering through the surging waters, and saw a colossal being, like a mountain range moving through the sea, its presence awe-inspiring.
【Ancient Deep Sea Whale (Nirvana Realm, Layer Eight): 87,808/150,000/180,000】
An eight-million-year-old sea demon!
No wonder they say the ocean is more dangerous than the Land of Demons! Gu An also spotted other sea demons at various realms, each one a novelty to him.
Not long after, his breakthrough reached a critical point, and he had to close his eyes and concentrate on experiencing the true meaning of the Free Immortal Realm.
Time passed quickly.
When Gu An opened his eyes again, he had reached the first layer of the Free Immortal Realm, and he found himself at the bottom of the sea.
It was pitch-black here, and there seemed to be countless mountains and uncountable sea demons roaming, with hardly any creatures without demonic qi.
Being in such an environment, one couldn't help but feel afraid.
Fortunately, Gu An did not sense any Free Immortal Realm auras.
If there really were Free Immortals here, then he would have to overwork himself next.
Advancing from the first layer to the ninth layer of the Free Immortal Realm required an even more massive amount of spirit qi, and as the Lifespan Barrier continuously drew out earth spirit qi, even the seabed began to tremble slightly.
An hour later.
Gu An sensed a disturbance in the distance, seemingly a submarine volcano eruption. In the scorching seawater, he detected the aura of a scattered immortal escaping, their aura very chaotic and their emotions agitated.
He vaguely heard the other party shouting.
"Hahaha, this Daoist has finally broken free from the seal!"
"Wait for it, Seven Star Spirit Realm, you're next!"
Hearing this, Gu An secretly rejoiced. Could it be that he had just saved an enemy from the Seven Star Spirit Realm?
He now considered the Seven Star Spirit Realm as his imaginary enemy. If more enemies from the Seven Star Spirit Realm appeared, he would naturally be happy.
Even after reaching the ninth layer of the Free Immortal Realm, Gu An had no intention of taking on the Seven Star Spirit Realm alone. At the very least, he needed someone to help divert attention in the open, so he could raid the Seven Star Spirit Realm, deal with the strongest enemies, but not make it seem like he alone had taken down the Seven Star Spirit Realm.
The Seven Star Spirit Realm had existed for so many years; who knew if there were any connections in the ocean?
There were quite a few immortal beings in the ocean.
After resolving this calamity, the next one would surely come. Life was always full of difficulties. If Gu An could slow down each phase, it would be advantageous for him.
Gu An stopped thinking and, as long as no one disturbed him, he could rest easy, even at the bottom of the sea.
He brought up the attribute panel.
The Lifespan Barrier was rapidly consuming his lifespan, and he had just over one million and five hundred thousand years left.
After much thought, he decided to improve his swordsmanship.
He hadn't dared to improve it before for fear of not having enough lifespan, but now that he had some left over, he could.
He had hesitated about improving the Wood Spirit Sword Technique, but now that he possessed the Five Elements Art, there was no need to improve the Wood Spirit Sword Technique.
Continue improving the Grand Startling Sword of Tai Cang! This was the signature sword art of the Supporting Dao Sword Sovereign!
More and more people were recognizing the Grand Startling Sword of Tai Cang, which was not a good thing.
He had to create a sword art that the world had never heard of! Let's start with 200,000 years to test the waters!
Gu An invested his lifespan into evolving and cultivating the Grand Startling Sword of Tai Cang, and a series of prompts jumped out one after another.
Eight million years later, the Grand Startling Sword of Tai Cang was promoted to the Grand Star Suppressing Infinite Sword!
With 120,000 years left, let the Grand Star Suppressing Infinite Sword reach the pinnacle!
A vast amount of memory poured into Gu An's mind.
Grand Star Suppressing Infinite Sword, a sword art that harnessed the stars to guide sword intent, capable of suppressing the heavens and the earth, with infinite and boundless sword qi, and possessing the profound mystery of great divine might!
Half an hour later.
Gu An opened his eyes, and they shone with a brilliant light.
What a domineering Grand Star Suppressing Infinite Sword! With this sword art, sword cultivators throughout the world would probably have to bow their heads and admit defeat, not daring to dream of surpassing his swordsmanship.
Gu An was already fantasizing about the influence that wielding this sword art would bring.
However, he must not use it indiscriminately but only at critical moments!
The corners of his mouth turned up.
At the ninth layer of the Free Immortal Realm, with the mastery of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Yin and Yang Art, the Grand Star Suppressing Infinite Sword, and the possession of the Profound Mystic Holy Body, how many moves could that Demon Emperor withstand?
Could the Demon Ancestor, who was about to be resurrected, pose a threat to him? Sorry, junior martial sister, senior martial brother really can't bear to leave you stranded on a deserted island!
Gu An slowly stood up, shut down the Lifespan Barrier, and took a step out of the ocean, rising to a height of several tens of thousands of feet in an instant. In the blink of an eye, his spiritual sense had captured the aura of Xiao Chuan in the Third Pill Valley of Tai Xuan Gate.
This powerful feeling put Gu An in a tremendously pleasant mood.
He took another step and appeared directly above Tai Xuan Gate! The distance covered in this one step was immeasurable!
