Chapter 303: Absolutely Not Losing Focus!
Chapter 303: Absolutely Not Losing Focus!
Under the cover of night, the entire ocean was filled with the figures of powerful cultivators soaring through the air, and numerous sea monsters leaping out of the water, making the night even more terrifying.
Gu An's isolated island was surrounded by towering waves, on the verge of being submerged.
Yet, he was still waiting for his breakthrough to complete. Each minor realm within the Dao Xu Xuan Immortal stage required far more spiritual energy than the previous major realms.
Gu An kept a close eye on the external conditions, needing to gauge the impact of his breakthrough on the vast Tian Ling world.
The range of the sinking spiritual energy was already quite extensive, but compared to the entire Tian Ling world, it was still not enough to shake the entire realm.
The Tian Ling world was truly vast!
Even though Gu An could already see beyond the boundaries of the world, he couldn't ignore the enormity of the Tian Ling world.
As time passed, more and more powerful cultivators came to protect various parts of the ocean. Some of the sects that Gu An had previously dared not easily probe also sent out their cultivators. Even the Immortal Spirit Dynasty, a realm filled with immortal beings, had dispatched cultivators, and it was situated on the opposite side of the Tian Ling world, far from the Holy Court, creating a clear distinction.
Next time, he should find a chance to ask Bai Ziya about the Immortal Spirit Dynasty.
Gu An noticed that, apart from this sea, other continents and islands in the ocean were also being protected by powerful cultivators, including near the TaiXuan Gate. The Holy Court's efficiency was indeed impressive, quickly protecting the mortal world in a short time, truly living up to its name.
Worth mentioning, the Free Primordial Immortal in this sea suffered a pursuit, entangled by several other Free Primordial Immortals, and had already fled to the heavens.
Gu An couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy for him.
Sin, sin.
Though he affected others, Gu An had no choice but to break through. No matter where he went, it would cause a disturbance. If he went to the heavens, the beings he would attract would at least be of the Heavenly Immortal realm, which was far too dangerous.
However, from the current commotion, Gu An's next breakthrough would have to take place in the heavens.
Though the heavens were dangerous, Dao Xu Xuan Immortal was not weak either.
Gu An had already seen the words "Divine Mind True Immortal" and possessed a vast lifespan. Not reaching the ninth layer of the Divine Mind True Immortal realm would truly be a torment.
Next time, he must control his breakthrough better, stopping at the ninth layer and not peering into the next realm, to avoid the itch in his heart.
Gu An silently pondered.
The strange phenomena on the ocean did not affect the heavens.
The moon set, and the sun rose.
As dawn approached, the turbulent spiritual energy in the ocean gradually calmed down.
Gu An finally reached the ninth layer of the Dao Xu Xuan Immortal realm!
He slowly opened his eyes, and the golden pattern on his forehead glowed, forming a phantom golden vertical eye.
The pupil of the Primordial Divine Eye was gradually turning black, then deep gray, making the vertical eye even more terrifying and oppressive.
With a mental command, the Primordial Divine Eye vanished.
He slowly stood up and, without taking a step, his figure vanished from the island, reappearing almost instantly in Nian Chu's cave within the Heavenly Phoenix Mountain.
Tian Yao, Tian Qing, and Tian Bai were all in cultivation, making the cave room quiet, with only the sound of dripping water, creating a serene atmosphere.
Gu An clapped his hands, and the three demons awoke. They quickly came out of their rooms, and upon seeing Gu An, they were overjoyed and rushed over.
"Master, what exactly happened outside the last two days?"
"Yes, there was a terrifying aura."
"Master, are you okay?"
The three demons chattered excitedly.
Gu An felt a bit ashamed, realizing he should have come to see them first, causing them to worry for so long.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the Outerworld Cave Heaven," Gu An called, then led the three demons away.
On the way, the three demons talked non-stop, and Gu An didn't hide anything, recounting the calamities he had experienced.
The Divine Oddities, the Divine Oddity King, the Great Cold Demon Sect, the Heavenly Fire Calamity, and more, each story made them shudder with fear.
Fortunately, they were relieved to hear that the calamities were over.
They began to wonder who had resolved the calamities, but Gu An said he wasn't sure.
Upon reaching the Outerworld Cave Heaven, Gu An raised his hand, and countless storage bags, storage rings, and storage artifacts flew out of his sleeves, piling up on the ground.
The three demons were stunned.
Tian Yao couldn't help but ask, "Why are there so many?"
Gu An didn't answer. After piling up the storage artifacts into a mountain, he used his divine sense to sweep over them, breaking all the restrictions and instantly destroying any potentially harmful items.
"These things are now under your charge. On a normal day, don't touch them to avoid attracting strong opponents," Gu An warned them.
Actually, no matter what they did, they wouldn't attract other cultivators. He just feared they might hurt themselves.
The three demons nodded dumbly, their minds unable to process the information.
Gu An didn't explain further and vanished on the spot.
Tian Bai, regaining her senses, cautiously asked, "Could the mysterious great power who saved the calamity be Master?"
Tian Yao's expression was peculiar. Since Gu An had said he wasn't the Heavenly Phoenix Demon Mother's match, she had her suspicions, and now she was even more convinced it was a lie.
But she couldn't understand why Gu An would hide his cultivation.
Elsewhere.
Gu An returned to the TaiXuan Gate.
The continent where the TaiXuan Gate was located didn't suffer from the strange phenomena of the previous night; it was just that the winds in the world were a bit stronger.
He first returned to the Eight Scenic Cave Heaven and informed Jiang Qiong that the Great Cold Demon Sect had been destroyed. Jiang Qiong was shocked and immediately left.
Gu An didn't follow her but returned to the Third Medicine Valley via the transmission array in the valley.
Even after two days, the atmosphere in the valley remained lively, with most people still discussing the Great Cold Demon Sect.
The Five Thieves and the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord were playing chess again, occasionally shouting, which drew laughter from the surrounding disciples.
The laboring disciples were also working with great enthusiasm, and even the white spirit rat under the Xuan Qing tree, which rarely stayed awake, was lying beside An Xin, enjoying her petting.
Everything seemed so harmonious that Gu An couldn’t help but smile.
He had taken a risk, hoping to see such a scene every day.
Gu An walked to his pavilion, his divine sense looking toward the heavens.
For the next breakthrough, he must go to the heavens.
He wasn’t sure if it was because of the strange phenomena from last night, but there were many powerful cultivators patrolling the skies. Although their cultivation levels were not as high as his, he didn’t want to stand out at this critical moment.
Once those powerful cultivators dispersed, he would go to the heavens to break through.
With the remaining lifespan he had, breaking through to the Divine Thought True Immortal realm should not be difficult.
Thinking of this, Gu An’s mood became even better.
He hummed a little tune as he climbed up the stairs. Blood Prison Great Sage watched his master, deep in thought.
After Gu An closed the door, Blood Prison Great Sage finally thought, “My master seems to have grown stronger. How high is his realm?”
When the Great Cold Demon Sect attacked, the massive figure taller than the heavens appeared in Blood Prison Great Sage’s eyes. At first glance, he could confirm it was his master.
He increasingly felt that falling into Gu An’s hands was a great fortune.
Others couldn’t hope for such an opportunity!
Thinking of this, he wore a proud smile.
The thousand-year period now seemed insignificant!
When the thousand years were up, he would still stay here, serving Gu An as a horse and ox.
He had already set his sights on the position of the third disciple in the third medicinal valley. With An Xin’s talent, she would surely be buried in the earth after a thousand years. Who could compete with him?
As for Yang Jian, he would definitely venture out, as the young man had such ambition.
Meanwhile.
In the pavilion, Gu An sat in a chair, lying down in his most comfortable position.
Looking at the six billion years of life left, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curve upward.
He couldn’t be too proud!
In the future, he still had to continue cultivating. The Void Immortal realm was not his end, nor would the Divine Thought True Immortal realm be. He had to keep getting stronger.
He was indeed powerful now, but there were still things in this world he couldn’t see through, and he still needed to strive for cultivation.
In the following days, Gu An resumed his usual life, visiting various medicinal valleys.
During this time, the Subtle Daoist from the Northern Sea Mountains inquired about his opinion on the Sword Vener of the Dao. He casually praised him a few times but didn’t say much more.
Five days later.
Gu An noticed a group of not weak cultivators infiltrating the continent, investigating the people’s opinions on the Sword Vener of the Dao.
These cultivators all came from the Holy Court!
Not only this continent, but the surrounding seas also had Holy Court cultivators investigating the Sword Vener of the Dao and the Great Cold Demon Sect.
Gu An didn’t interfere. The Holy Court’s investigation of the Great Cold Demon Sect indicated that the matter had already alarmed the upper echelons of the Holy Court, and that Holy King could no longer cover up the sky with one hand.
After harvesting all the mature medicinal herbs from the various valleys, Gu An began to relax.
He found the Nine-Fingered Divine Lord playing chess and won three consecutive games.
The Five Thieves became interested and wanted to play.
From the moment Gu An placed his first move, half an hour later, he stood up, holding the Seven Star Mirror, and left with a haughty stride.
The Five Thieves sat in a daze on the stone bench, staring at the chessboard, completely lost in thought.
The surrounding disciples were excited, praising Gu An.
The Five Thieves always won, so seeing their master win, how could the disciples not be excited?
The Nine-Fingered Divine Lord was delighted, realizing it wasn’t that he was incompetent, but that Gu An truly had extraordinary insight in the art of chess.
Gu An left amidst the disciples’ cheers, a proud smile on his face.
Play with me?
Cultivate for another billion years!
Gu An admitted that the Ninth Heaven of the Flying Immortal realm was strong, just twenty-seven minor realms lower than his.
Back in his pavilion, Gu An sat down and brought up the attribute panel.
The previous life cycle was full of regrets. He wanted to start another one. After all, there were still many powerful cultivators patrolling the heavens, so there was no rush to break through.
Just one game, definitely not getting addicted!
[You consume ten million years of life to initiate a cycle of evolution]
[Begin connecting to the Great Dao rules]
[Begin searching for a world to reincarnate into]
[You have the following world choices, choose one]
[1. Heavenly Spirit Great World]
[2. Nine Extremes Great World]
[3. Dark Great World]
Gu An hesitated for a moment, deciding to choose the Dark Great World. Fall down where you fall, stand up where you fall.
This time, he would definitely not make the same mistakes!
[You have chosen to reincarnate into the Dark Great World]
[Given that the Great Dao rules of this world cannot conceal your talent, you will retain the ability to seize life, but you cannot unlock stage-specific functions]
[Reincarnation evolution begins]
[First Year: You are born in the Xiao Kingdom of the Great Ming Holy Dynasty in the North Dry Region. Your parents name you Xiao Shengtian]
[At age five, while you were sleeping, you were poisoned by your father’s third concubine. Before losing consciousness, you saw her figure. Fortunately, your mother discovered it in time and saved your life. After you recovered, your grandfather gathered the entire family in the main hall. Faced with your grandfather’s questioning, do you choose to reveal that you were poisoned by the third concubine?]
The update begins!
