Chapter 301: The Seven Divine Golden Body and the Supreme Primordial Dao Body
Chapter 301: The Seven Divine Golden Body and the Supreme Primordial Dao Body
The mysterious Spiritual Immortal of Marvelous Law wandered through the human region but never set foot on the continent where Gu An resided.
After a day and a night, he finally left.
From the next day onward, news of the Great Cold Demon Sect being utterly destroyed by the Dao Sword Venerable spread like a hurricane, sweeping across the seas and leaving countless fleeing beings in shock. Their first reaction was disbelief, as the news seemed far too outrageous!
The world was in an uproar, and within the TaiXuan Gate, lanterns were hung and celebrations held everywhere, praising the great deeds and power of the Dao Sword Venerable.
This time, the Dao Sword Venerable’s rescue efforts were on a grander scale, and how could they not be proud? They might not know if there truly were benevolent immortals in the world, but at least in their hearts, the Dao Sword Venerable was a divine being who saved all.
The day after the Spiritual Immortal of Marvelous Law left, Gu An quietly departed from the continent.
He headed south, far away from the human region where the TaiXuan Gate was located.
Finally, he arrived at a desolate sea, where the number of living beings was minimal. Whether in the ocean depths or on the surface, there were countless wandering spirits. The sky was overcast with dark clouds, creating an oppressive atmosphere, but the spiritual energy here was abundant.
After probing with his divine sense, Gu An discovered a powerful island deep in the ocean, protected by formidable restrictions. If he were to break through the restrictions forcefully, he would surely alarm the entities within.
He estimated that an Immortal of Freedom might be hiding inside, as the restrictions, though strong, didn’t seem insurmountable to him.
No wonder the sea was so rich in spiritual energy, yet so devoid of life. It seemed a fierce deity was concealed within.
Gu An landed on an uninhabited island and immediately activated the Lifespan Barrier.
Seven hundred and ninety million years of lifespan, what a thrill!
Never had he felt so affluent!
Gu An sat cross-legged in front of a withered tree, grinning as he checked his status panel.
He would enjoy this for a while!
After a good while, Gu An finally calmed down and decided to test the Lifespan Cycle.
He would try ten million years to start. If this function didn’t work, he would consign it to the cold palace, just like the Lifespan Deduction he had previously activated.
[You consume ten million years of lifespan to initiate one cycle of reincarnation.]
[Connecting to the great cosmic rules.]
[Searching for a cycle world.]
[You have the following world choices, choose one.]
[1. Heavenly Spirit Great World]
[2. Dark Great World]
[3. Great Multiverse]
Hmm?
There was actually a Heavenly Spirit Great World?
Gu An wondered if the reincarnation would reflect reality, not just merge with memories but also affect the real world?
He was uncertain, so he thought better not to choose the Heavenly Spirit Great World to avoid any mishaps.
His gaze was drawn to the Dark Great World. The name sounded suitable for his lifespan-stealing ability. Since this was a cycle of reincarnation, perhaps he would retain his current golden finger during the evolution.
He chose it!
The Dark Great World!
[You have chosen to reincarnate into the Dark Great World.]
[Given the cosmic rules of this world cannot fully conceal your talent, you will retain the ability to steal lifespan, but you cannot activate phased functions.]
[Reincarnation evolution begins.]
[First year, you are born in a village within the Eastern Mystic Domain. Your parents name you Chu Lu.]
[At age seven, you accidentally pull a spirit herb from the mountains, stealing eight years of lifespan, which becomes a turning point in your fate.]
[At age eight, you are taken as a disciple by a cultivator, traveling the world with him.]
[At age fifteen, you and your master are ambushed by cultivators. Your master dies protecting you, and you, filled with hatred, hide in the deep mountains, beginning to accumulate lifespan.]
[At age eighteen, through the evolution of lifespan, your cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul realm, and you begin your quest for revenge.]
[At age nineteen, you invade the residence of your enemies, killing all but one, a young girl. Seeing her timid appearance, you hesitate.]
[Do you choose to kill her?]
The prompt paused, and Gu An hesitated before choosing not to kill her. What a joke, with his lifespan-stealing ability, he wouldn’t be pursued by this little girl.
[You spare the girl Cheng Jialan and rejoin the path of cultivation.]
Seeing this, Gu An smiled. This girl, like his junior sister, had the character "Lan" in her name.
In the previous prompts, names were not given, so it seemed only those who survived would have names.
Wait, his parents and master were alive at the beginning, but they didn’t have names.
A bad feeling crept into his heart. Could it be that this Cheng Jialan would live a long time?
[At age twenty, you join the Taiyi Sect and, with your outstanding cultivation and talent, become a direct disciple, renowned within the sect.]
[At age twenty-one, you use the Lifespan Deduction technique to master the Seven Hearts.]
[At age twenty-two, you are envied by the son of the sect leader. He takes advantage of your absence on a mission to surround you. You kill all his lackeys, leaving only the sect leader’s son alive, who kneels and pleads for mercy. You are hesitant.]
[Do you choose to kill him?]
Kill!
Gu An did not hesitate, and the prompt continued.
Kill the men, spare the women? The standards seemed a bit off.
Gu An inwardly criticized himself.
In the cycle, after returning to the Taiyi Sect, he continuously faced conflicts and grudges, always choosing to kill, as they were all provoking him.
Killing and killing, he was eventually betrayed by the Taiyi Sect and even wanted for his capture.
In the following years, almost every year was filled with battles, sometimes several times a year.
Once, Gu An decided to help an injured cultivator he encountered by chance. However, the injured cultivator summoned a large group of others to ambush Gu An, attempting to seize the magical artifact in his possession.
Gu An was enraged by this betrayal and felt an even stronger urge to kill.
Betrayals, jealousy, and revenge killings continued to unfold.
What a world! Truly, this dark realm is far too cruel! In the first fifty years, Gu An hadn't encountered a single benevolent cultivator, fighting entirely alone.
What hurt him most was that his enemies, to take revenge on him, had extracted the souls and bones of his family members in the village, turning them into vengeful ghosts.
Gu An grew even angrier, and in his subsequent decisions, he chose to kill to stop the killings.
His lifespan accumulated at an incredibly fast rate, reaching the level of a Transcendent Immortal by the age of fifty, becoming a fearsome killer in the Dongxuan Region.
At the age of sixty-five, he encountered Cheng Jialan, the girl he had once spared. She had become a disciple of the Blue Sky Holy Sect, a renowned prodigy. She recognized him and was deeply grateful for his act of mercy. Her attitude moved him deeply.
At the age of sixty-six, after being pursued by Cheng Jialan, they became Dao companions.
At the age of sixty-seven, Cheng Jialan gave birth to a son and a daughter, and he loved her even more.
At the age of sixty-eight, while he was cultivating, a Tranquil Primordial Immortal from the Blue Sky Holy Sect descended. Known as the Black Xuan Emperor, he crushed Gu An to death.
The cycle ended.
What?
It's over?
Gu An almost spat blood. A ten-million-year lifespan for a sixty-eight-year life?
Black Xuan Emperor!
Fine, very fine!
Before Gu An could think more, a vast flood of memories surged into his mind, recounting the life of Chu Lu, as if he had lived it himself.
However, since it was a cycle of reincarnation, he didn't find the process lengthy. It was more like a recollection of past experiences, a feeling both strange and profound.
Although this life lasted only sixty-eight years, Chu Lu had elevated a cultivation technique through numerous improvements, eventually creating a groundbreaking ability that caused celestial phenomena.
The Seven Heart Technique, after numerous enhancements, became the Seven Divine Golden Body!
The Seven Divine Golden Body, a self-contained cultivation technique, forms seven souls upon completion. Each soul possesses unique abilities, and even if one is killed, the remaining souls can revive the person.
In the memories, Gu An was resurrected six times by the Black Xuan Emperor, but the outcome was the same...
The cultivation gap was too vast; his abilities to evade and counterattack were ineffective.
After accepting the Seven Divine Golden Body, Gu An's sense of imbalance slightly subsided.
Whether the value of the Seven Divine Golden Body could match a ten-million-year lifespan was debatable, but it was certainly not something a few million years could achieve. This technique was extremely powerful, as even Chu Lu, a Transcendent Immortal, could challenge a Second Layer Immortal, proving its might.
Sigh, still too reckless.
Gu An realized he could only make choices at critical turning points in the cycle of reincarnation, unable to control his actions within the cycle.
Upon reflection, this meant the other lives in the cycle had their own consciousness, right?
Isn't that how reincarnation works in reality too?
Ji Xiaoyu in this life was vastly different from his past life.
Gu An refocused his thoughts and noticed the ground was saturated with spiritual energy, indicating that the cycle of reincarnation also consumed real-world spiritual energy. Fortunately, he had changed his location to avoid affecting the Tai Xuan Gate and the continent.
Time to get down to business!
Today, he would first break through to a higher realm!
Gu An accessed his attribute panel and invested twenty million years of lifespan into his physical constitution.
The Primordial Cause Body advanced to the Primordial Yuan Body, and then to the Supreme Dao Body!
Awakening the Supreme Dao Yuan Technique, the Supreme Dao Yuan Technique!
This technique combined attack, defense, and sealing into one, surpassing the ordinary world and possessing the power to crush the laws of the universe!
Gu An refined this technique to perfection.
A vast surge of spiritual energy flooded Gu An's mind, plunging his consciousness into a state of enlightenment.
The Primordial Yuan Body and the Primordial Cause Body, though both named Primordial, were vastly different. Reaching the Supreme Dao Body allowed him to easily discern the laws of the universe and causality, giving him an absolute advantage over those with the Primordial Constitution.
Although Gu An hadn't encountered anyone with the Primordial Constitution, he felt it must exist, as his own constitution had been elevated to this level. This suggested that if the mortals of the Heavenly Realm traced their bloodlines, they might involve the Primordial.
However, he didn't know where the Primordial resided.
As Gu An absorbed the spiritual energy, the calm, dark sea erupted with turbulent waves, and a powerful divine sense immediately swept across the ocean.
Unfortunately, no matter how he searched, he couldn't find Gu An.
An hour later, Gu An finally opened his eyes, his constitution having fully transformed into the Supreme Dao Body.
His current power had reached a terrifying level, and the feeling of such immense strength was incredibly satisfying.
He even wanted to find someone to test his strength.
Fortunately, he restrained himself.
Don't get overconfident!
Chu Lu was too overconfident, killing left and right, and ended up being crushed by a higher-realm cultivator...
Gu An's gaze fell on the cultivation techniques section.
The Primal Yuan Saint Technique and the Ten Thousand Forms Technique both cost twenty million years of lifespan.
The reason he only spent twenty million years was that he was eyeing the billion-year function again.
Thank you, Unwavering Heart, for the 1576 coins, and Seeking Great Freedom, for the 500 Qidian coins~~
