Chapter 200: Breakthrough to the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Immortal Realm!
Chapter 200: Breakthrough to the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Immortal Realm!
[You have cultivated for 390,000 years, and your cultivation has broken through to the second layer of the Celestial Immortal Realm.]
[You have cultivated for 400,000 years, and your cultivation has broken through to the third layer of the Celestial Immortal Realm.]
[You have cultivated for 420,000 years, and your cultivation has broken through to the fourth layer of the Celestial Immortal Realm.]
...
[You have cultivated for 500,000 years, and your cultivation has broken through to the eighth layer of the Celestial Immortal Realm.]
Gu An observed the pattern after seeing all the prompts and, after investing another 30,000 years of lifespan, successfully reached the ninth layer of the Celestial Immortal Realm.
At the same time, the spiritual energy of the world had permeated his body, signifying the start of his breakthrough.
Gu An felt relieved. He considered spending another 30,000 years of his lifespan to prematurely glimpse the name of the next realm but changed his mind. What use was knowing the name?
The surrounding trees began to shake violently, and the spiritual energy of the world started to sink.
The ground beneath Gu An's feet manifested an image of a sea of qi, and the rate at which the spiritual energy entered his body grew faster and faster. He began to contemplate the state of being a Celestial Immortal.
What is the difference between a Wandering Immortal and a Celestial Immortal? Gu An's gaze turned to the sky, and he felt a vague connection to the heavens.
After reaching the Wandering Immortal realm, he could sense a powerful force in the heavens suppressing all beings, preventing them from leaving. Wandering Immortals could break free from the rules of the world, but they couldn't escape the constraints of this heavenly force.
——A loud rumbling sound echoed.
The rate at which the spiritual energy entered his body reached an unprecedented level, startling Gu An.
How vast an area would this momentum drain the spiritual energy from? Soon, all the creatures on the continent were stirred, birds flew erratically, beasts ran wildly, and the earth trembled.
Gu An couldn't spare a thought for the commotion as a large number of insights into the Dao of Immortality surged into his body.
Celestial Immortal!
Able to transcend the world and roam the universe!
Able to perceive yin and yang and control the five elements! Upon reaching this level, one must delve into the way of the five elements to further advance.
Gu An's cultivation technique, the Primordial Heaven and Earth Supreme Technique, was a five-element cultivation method, so his breakthrough was exceptionally smooth.
His primordial spirit underwent an unprecedented transformation, a metamorphosis that brought his soul joy beyond any pleasure.
Half an hour later, Gu An completely stepped into the Celestial Immortal Realm.
The oceans surrounding the continent also churned with surging waves, as countless underwater demons stirred, affecting untold tens of thousands of miles.
Gu An opened his eyes, and his primordial spirit leaped out of his body.
He instinctively wanted to jump out of the lifespan boundary and leave this world to explore higher realms.
However, he restrained himself.
He gazed up at the night sky, his eyes piercing through millions of miles, and he saw an invisible barrier covering the entire night sky, like a cage confining all beings in the world.
He felt that he could cross that invisible layer, but he didn't.
He had no understanding of what lay beyond, so he dared not go.
Suddenly,
Gu An saw that the invisible layer in the sky was rippling, and he followed the direction of the ripples. He saw a figure falling from the sky, descending towards the end of the world.
Someone had descended from beyond? He didn't dare to look too closely, lest he disturb the other party.
He suddenly felt that the world below and the world above were not as isolated from each other as he had thought. The Celestial Immortals of this world could leave and also return? He continued to relish the process of his body being tempered by the world's spiritual energy.
After the breakthrough, his primordial spirit had transformed into a Celestial Immortal's primordial spirit, able to enter the yin and yang. The so-called yin was not beneath the ground but rather another world opposite to this one.
He could see the wandering souls between heaven and earth, as well as those souls about to enter the cycle of reincarnation. Those souls flew towards the sky, and when they were less than 100,000 miles from the ground, they gradually disappeared, pulled into the underworld by reincarnation.
Gu An could already sense the aura of the underworld, which was extremely cold and made him reluctant to intrude.
His cultivation continued to grow!
The rate at which the spiritual energy entered his body was still increasing, and the sea of qi on the ground seemed like surging waves, about to drown him at any moment.
His primordial spirit continued to look up at the sky.
Half an hour later, he saw a Celestial Immortal in the distance escaping beyond the sky, which made him even more certain that there were Celestial Immortals in this world, and that breaking through to the Celestial Immortal Realm did not mean one had to leave this realm.
In other words, the Celestial Immortal Realm might not be the highest realm in this world!
Regardless, Gu An's desire to explore beyond was not strong. Staying in his comfort zone was the safest option.
Why leave your comfort zone when you could continue to get stronger?
Time passed quickly.
A full two hours passed before Gu An's cultivation finally stabilized at the ninth layer of the Celestial Immortal Realm.
The Lifespan Boundary had consumed nearly 700,000 years of his lifespan, which was outrageous.
For the next breakthrough, he would need to strengthen himself comprehensively. Just the Lifespan Boundary would require him to expend several million years of lifespan? The task ahead was daunting!
When the spiritual energy stopped entering his body, and the world returned to calm, Gu An slowly stood up.
He didn't immediately release the Lifespan Boundary but instead savored the feeling of his newfound power.
His magic power and senses had also transformed, and the Nine Heavens of Immortality would only continue to widen the gap between realms from now on.
Gu An felt that it was impossible for a Wandering Immortal to defeat a Celestial Immortal across realms, no matter how powerful their divine abilities were.
On the other side.
In the Land of Demons, within a dark forest.
A spatial crack suddenly appeared, and soon after, a wounded An Hao fell out of it.
He immediately climbed to his feet and flew towards the south, continuously calling out to his master in his heart. Unfortunately, like before, his master did not appear.
"Damn... It's all my fault for being too weak..."
An Hao clenched his teeth, his pride shattered on this night.
Images of Xuantianyi using a mysterious scroll to send him away flashed through An Hao's mind, and his parting words rang in his ears.
"Go back, I won't die here. Wait for me to come back and find you."
The more carefree Xuantianyi seemed, the more worried An Hao became, as those seven mysterious great cultivators were incredibly powerful, and Xuantianyi was no match for them.
"Who exactly are they? And what did Senior Xuantian leave on my back?"
An Hao thought angrily. Just before they parted, Xuantianyi had slapped him, sending him into a spatial crack. In that instant, he had felt a burning sensation on his back, and now it itched as if someone was carving something onto his back with a small knife.
He felt that Xuantianyi must have sensed something and left some information on his back, but he couldn't check it with his spiritual sense as it was repelled by a mysterious force whenever he tried to get close to his back.
He immediately took out a Spirit Qi Pill and popped it into his mouth.
His eyes hardened with determination.
He would definitely come back!
If anything happened to Xuantianyi, no matter who the culprit was, he would take revenge for him!
...
As the moon set and the sun rose, the world finally returned to calm. Only then did Gu An release the Lifespan Boundary and make his way towards the Tai Xuan Gate.
It only took him three steps to return to the sect.
Upon reaching Xuan Gu, he dismounted from the Blood Prison Great Sage and made his way towards Tian Ya Valley on foot.
The Blood Prison Great Sage could clearly sense his improved mood, humming a tune he had never heard before as they walked.
It had to be said that it was quite catchy.
Gu An released his spiritual sense, encompassing the entire continent and even the surrounding seas within his perception.
He began to check on his old acquaintances one by one.
Jiang Qiong's Nine Petals Sect seemed harmonious, and she was currently cultivating in the Sect Master's mansion.
Ye Lan was handling the affairs of the Enforcement Hall, her demeanor as icy as ever, a stark contrast to how she was with Gu An, resembling an ice beauty.
Li Ya and Zhang Bukou were being pursued by a powerful demon, but they seemed to be in no mortal danger.
Gu An also caught sight of An Hao, who was fleeing from some unknown danger. As there were no pursuers in sight, Gu An didn't bother to intervene.
His spiritual sense swept past friends and disciples, and he glanced at the area shrouded in demonic energy, where numerous Seven-star Spirit Realm cultivators had gathered.
Gu An felt that he could easily break through the seal and spy on Li Mo, but he held back.
The growth rate of Seven-star Spirit Realm cultivators was far slower than his own.
Unless they took the initiative to provoke him, he intended to lay low.
After all, the Three Kingdoms were far from the demonic region, and unless there was an overwhelming disaster, he saw no reason to get involved.
After traveling a certain distance from Xuan Gu, the Blood Prison Great Sage suddenly felt its body enveloped by a terrifying power. Its steps faltered, and the surroundings transformed.
In an instant, they had traveled a distance of less than 200 li, just shy of Tian Ya Valley.
What kind of ability was this?
The Blood Prison Great Sage was secretly astonished, as this was not the first time it had experienced such a phenomenon. Due to the seal imposed by the Gui Yuan Shen Dao, it couldn't gauge the exact distance they had traveled.
As the strongest being in the spirit world, it had been trying to understand Gu An's abilities, hoping to emulate them, but to no avail.
Half a day later...
Gu An arrived at the Third Yao Gu on the back of the Blood Prison Great Sage.
The disciples were used to seeing him ride a bull, and some had even bought first-rank mounts from the outer city to imitate him, but none could match the aura of the Bull Demon King.
He sensed Shen Zhen's presence; she was waiting for him in the pavilion.
Could she have finished her new book so quickly?
Gu An urged the Blood Prison Great Sage to quicken its pace, and soon, they arrived at the pavilion. Gu An dismounted and entered.
Seeing Gu An's anxious back, the Blood Prison Great Sage felt exasperated.
"Why are you in such a rush? Can't you walk by yourself? It's just a few steps!"
It couldn't understand why Gu An insisted on pretending to be weak in front of these weak cultivators. With a huff, it lay down to sleep, reliving its glorious memories of being unstoppable in its dreams.
Once inside, Gu An closed the door.
Shen Zhen sat in a chair, pointing at a jade slip on the table with a mysterious smile.
Gu An approached the table and asked, "What is this?"
Shen Zhen lifted her chin, a proud smile on her face. "This is my new creation, and it will definitely shock the cultivation world!"
Gu An's expression turned skeptical as he picked up the jade slip, probing it with his spiritual sense.
His face immediately turned bright red, and he retracted his spiritual sense, looking at Shen Zhen in disbelief.
"You... How could you do this?" Gu An asked, his voice shaking.
Was she a genius?
This thing would indeed shock the cultivation world, but it was too outrageous, no, too despicable!
Shen Zhen raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile on her face. "Well? What do you think? Isn't it amazing to make the drawings come to life like real people?"
Gu An was at a loss for words.
A cultivation world anime?
But it was too realistic, indistinguishable from real people.
Using this concept for the "Tai Xuan Secret Chronicles" would indeed be impactful.
Gu An forced himself to calm down and asked, "Who is the male cultivator in this story?"
Shen Zhen looked at him and blinked. "I didn't use your face, but I just couldn't bring myself to think of another man, so I made him wear a mask."
Gu An fell silent.
No wonder the character wore a mask...
The figure was very similar to his own!
