Chapter 272: Primordial Causal Body, Chaotic Primordial Sage Technique
Chapter 272: Primordial Causal Body, Chaotic Primordial Sage Technique
Jixiaoyu’s words left Gu An stunned for a moment before he asked, “You’re going back just for this thing?”
Reflect on my soul?
Am I a monster?
Gu An found her idea peculiar and didn’t know how to respond.
Jixiaoyu seemed to understand his expression and explained, "It’s not just this ability. If cultivators can glimpse their own souls, it might enhance their enlightenment."
"I don’t believe it. I won’t try it," Gu An waved his hand, dismissing the idea.
Jixiaoyu leaned in and whispered, "Just give it a try. It won’t hurt."
"I’m not afraid of pain; I just find it disrespectful to reflect on my own soul. You don’t think I’m a monster, do you?"
"How could I? Even if you were a monster, it wouldn’t matter. After all, you’re too..."
"Too what?"
Gu An pretended to be angry and left, flicking his sleeves.
Although he didn’t know the true origin of the treasure, Gu An decided to stay as far away as possible. What if his soul turned out to be something other than an ordinary soul?
Of course, logically speaking, there shouldn’t be such a powerful treasure.
Jixiaoyu stood where she was, watching him leave, her thoughts deep.
After returning to his room, Gu An closed the door and took out a strange book he had obtained from the outer city, flipping through it.
In this life, Jixiaoyu, although stubborn, wasn’t the type to persistently nag. After being refused by Gu An, she returned to her room to cultivate.
In the following days, Gu An avoided Jixiaoyu.
As autumn approached, Gu An returned from the Horizon Valley, and his lifespan finally broke through the thirty million-year mark.
He walked through the forest, his divine sense extending to the ocean, locking onto the Great Rift of the Broken Sea.
Surveying the entire line of the Great Rift, the number of cultivators and monsters gathered around it exceeded ten million, not to mention the countless life forms at the bottom of the rift.
Gu An quickly decided where to enter the Great Rift.
As he lifted his right foot again, his entire aura suddenly changed, entering a special state unique to Immortal Yuan Immortals.
He stepped the Infinite Freedom Step, swiftly leaping off the continent. After a few steps, he dove into the Great Rift.
Upon entering the Great Rift, he felt as if he had entered an abyss. All around was dim, and he could only hear the sound of water falling on both sides, deafeningly loud.
During his descent, he encountered cultivators, monsters, and divine ghosts flying out. Some passed by him, and some directly passed through his body, none noticing his presence.
The Great Rift was deeper than Gu An had anticipated, seemingly leading to another realm.
After descending for about ten million miles, a layer of dark blue light appeared below, shimmering. He sensed a special aura, like a force of some cosmic law.
He passed through the layer of dark blue light, clearly feeling himself enter another realm.
The aura of this realm felt familiar to him, like he had entered the interior of a divine city.
Here, too, existed numerous realms. He flew toward the one with the densest spiritual energy, which was also the most vast realm, hundreds of times larger than the main continent of the TaiXuan Sect.
During his flight, Gu An saw many cultivators and monsters passing through, the lowest cultivation being the Wandering Immortal Realm.
Only those who reached the Wandering Immortal Realm could freely traverse these realms.
Lower cultivation beings needed to use different realms’ transmission arrays or spatial rifts to cross.
He also saw the figures of divine ghosts roaming the void, lurking and watching the passing life forms, ready to pounce at any moment.
Gu An didn’t linger, his right foot stepping out, landing on a cliff.
The sky here was blood-red, dark clouds gathering, and the outline of the moon faintly visible, more than one.
Gu An sat down on the spot, directly activating his lifespan barrier.
The spiritual energy of this realm was incredibly abundant, even more so than the Third Medicine Valley filled with medicinal herbs. No wonder so many cultivators and monsters risked their lives to enter.
Gu An didn’t immediately break through but instead admired the scenery around him.
The vast expanse of the realm made it hard to see any flowers or plants. In the distance, tornadoes swept through the mountains, carrying numerous aggrieved souls, making them wail and howl.
It was desolate and bleak.
This was Gu An’s feeling, hard to imagine what this realm had endured to end up like this.
If the realm’s life forms were thriving, how much more potent would its spiritual energy be?
Gu An retracted his gaze and then summoned his attribute panel.
Name: Gu An
Lifespan: 174/30,004,901
Constitution: Profound Sage Body
Cultivation: Immortal Yuan Immortal Realm, Ninth Layer
Looking at his lifespan, a smile spread across Gu An’s face.
He rubbed his hands together, as if about to undertake a great task.
He decided to first enhance his constitution, investing one million years of lifespan to see the effect.
From the Innate Dao Body to the Profound Sage Body, he had spent 520,000 years of lifespan. He wondered if a million years would be enough to transform his constitution.
He invested the lifespan!
Lines of prompts kept popping up, all indicating an increase in his bone strength.
In the end, one million years did not succeed in the transformation.
Gu An felt a bit heartbroken, but he changed his mind and tried again.
He started investing his lifespan in increments of ten thousand years.
The prompts kept coming, making his expression increasingly unnatural.
Finally!
You have comprehended the natural laws for ten thousand years, receiving the true essence of the cosmos to refine your body. Your bones have transformed, and your Profound Sage Body has advanced to the Primordial Causal Body.
Boom—
The Divine Aura suddenly surged into Gu An's physical body, and the ground was enveloped in a sea of spirit mist, creating a breathtaking scene.
A smile spread across Gu An's face.
It took 167,000 years to break through his physical constitution!
Who could bear such a long wait?
Gu An began to hesitate, wondering if he should upgrade his cultivation technique.
He was afraid that if both his constitution and technique were upgraded, the remaining lifespan might not be enough for a breakthrough in his cultivation realm.
As his realm advanced, the difficulty of breaking through increased. If the lifespan consumed for this breakthrough were the same as the last, it would indicate a significant leap in his strength. To shorten the lifespan consumption was almost impossible; the best he could do was to try to reduce the lifespan cost, avoiding a tenfold increase.
The earth continued to tremble, the Divine Aura sinking, startling countless divine and ghostly entities.
At the other end of the world, Tian Wuchang (Heaven's Martial Creation), who was meditating by the seaside, abruptly stood up, looking around in panic.
The sand beneath his feet trembled, causing the sea waves to surge, and the sinking Divine Aura stirred up a strong wind.
"Could it be that he's here?" Tian Wuchang gritted his teeth.
Although over two months had passed, he was always on edge, fearing that person might strike at any moment.
"The sinking of the Divine Aura might be related to a disturbance in the world's rules, not to a person," a cold voice from the Ancient Stele said. Hearing this, Tian Wuchang breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.
Tian Wuchang complained, "Realm Lord, when will you recover your cultivation and regain control over the divine world's order? More cultivators are coming in, and sooner or later, it will cause trouble."
The voice from the Ancient Stele did not respond.
Tian Wuchang waited for a while before closing his eyes and continuing his cultivation.
...
On a cliff, within the Lifespan Barrier.
Gu An endured the pain of his physical transformation, his mind filled with hesitation.
Initially, it took 700,000 years of lifespan to transform the Five Elements Dao Technique into the Heaven and Earth Primal Technique.
If he upgraded again, it would likely cost at least 2,000,000 years of lifespan!
He decided to take the risk!
He must upgrade his technique, especially since he had already passed on the Heaven and Earth Primal Technique to Yang Jian (Nurturing Harmony) and An Hao (Peaceful Harmony).
As a master, he must keep a step ahead of his disciples; how could he cultivate the same level of technique as his disciples?
Gu An directly invested 1,000,000 years of lifespan!
As expected, the upgrade was unsuccessful.
He invested another 1,000,000 years of lifespan!
Failure!
500,000 years of lifespan!
Failure!
200,000 years of lifespan!
The Heaven and Earth Primal Technique successfully advanced to the Chaotic Primordial Saint Technique, but the technique's realm only reached a minor success.
2,700,000 years of lifespan!
Gu An felt the pain in his flesh, and the Lifespan Barrier consumed his lifespan at a rapid rate, depleting several thousand years in just a moment.
If he didn't leave a million years of lifespan, Gu An feared the Lifespan Barrier would consume him, or he would have to shut it down before his breakthrough was complete, exposing himself.
Gu An had originally intended to upgrade the All Things Form Qi Technique, which was key to hiding his cultivation, and a physical cultivation technique.
Now, it seemed he had to put it on hold.
After breaking through his cultivation, he would save 5,000,000 years of lifespan to upgrade the All Things Form Qi Technique.
Gu An silently pondered, but the technique's memory did not flood his mind. It seemed the Primordial Causal Body contained the profound memory, which needed to be inherited first before the technique's memory could be accessed.
He waited patiently.
After an hour, his constitution fully transformed into the Primordial Causal Body.
The Primordial Causal Body was extremely dominant, capable of severing all causal forces and even using causal forces to harm enemies.
All things and beings are bound by causality; his enemies' techniques and powers all have causal connections, which he could probe to find their weaknesses. If his cultivation were strong enough, he could even directly destroy their Dao.
The Primordial Causal Body would also generate the Primordial Divine Eye, containing numerous profound secrets, which he would need time to study.
Next came the inheritance memory of the Chaotic Primordial Saint Technique!
A continuous flow of earth's Divine Aura drilled into Gu An's body, and after a brief moment of clarity, he was submerged in a vast sea of memories.
The Chaotic Primordial Saint Technique contained the five elements, evolving the Chaotic Spirit Sea and refining a stronger force, the Primordial Force!
The Primordial Force was a powerful and vast force!
With the technique's enhancement, the speed at which spirit essence was generated within his body was extremely fast, nearly reaching a state of endless force, of course, this depended on the earth's Divine Aura and elixirs keeping up with his force consumption.
At the same time, this technique came with a power called the Primordial Force Hand!
The Primordial Force Hand, as its name suggests, could capture the heavens in the palm, serving both offense and defense, and possessing a sealing effect!
Another hour passed, and Gu An slowly opened his eyes.
A fine golden line appeared on his brow, emitting a golden radiance, making him appear ethereal.
Gu An raised his right hand, the Primordial Force concentrating in his palm, transforming into the Primordial Force Hand.
It could capture the heavens, subdue the earth, and even exterminate all life!
Gu An forcibly suppressed the urge to act, dispersing the Primordial Force in his hand, then rechecked his attribute panel.
Seeing his lifespan rapidly decrease, he instantly became alert.
He slapped his face, thinking, "The next step is the most critical!"
Cultivation breakthrough!
Advancing to the Transcendent Immortal Realm!
