Chapter 361: Advancing to the Chaos Refining Ethereal Body! Eternal Infinity!
In the early morning, Gu An emerged from the tower in Xuan Gu and followed his disciples downstairs for morning exercises.
Lu Jiu Jia, who rarely joined in, chatted with his fellow disciples as they trained.
"Brother, when do you think I'll be able to unlock the cultivation technique?" Lu Jiu Jia suddenly asked, his voice filled with anticipation.
He was also cultivating the Primordial Cycle Art and could sense that it was more profound than the Dao Transformation Art, which made him even more excited about his future.
Gu An glanced at his lifespan limit and said, "Wait a few more decades. Don't rush it."
Lu Jiu Jia nodded. He now had absolute trust in Gu An, as Gu An had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm.
In Lu Jiu Jia's eyes, Gu An had an extremely ordinary spiritual root aptitude, but the fact that Gu An achieved the Nascent Soul Realm at the age of four hundred indicated an exceptionally high level of comprehension.
He suspected that there was an unimaginable grand cause behind the Primordial Cycle Art, and listening to Gu An would be his only chance to attain the Dao in this life.
They chatted until the morning exercises ended, and only then did Gu An leave.
Returning to the Third Medicine Valley, he exchanged a few words with the disciples he encountered along the way, just as he usually did. Today, he was in an even better mood.
Having reached a lifespan of ten billion years, it was time for him to break through!
He extended his Divine Sense towards the universe, and although he had already chosen a location, he feared that there might be living beings nearby, so he had to observe again.
Suddenly, a bold idea came to his mind.
Should he go to the Annihilation Realm to break through?
The Annihilation Realm was vast, and it also contained an immense amount of spiritual energy.
Based on the commotion during his previous breakthrough to the Divine Mind True Immortal Realm, this breakthrough might very well alert the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
Gu An didn't want the Holy Court or the Immortal Dynasty to discover the birth of a new Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Dao.
The Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Dao was known as the Freedom Immortal.
Gu An thought of the power that Long Qing and Lu Han had achieved at this level, and his heart couldn't help but feel excited.
After circling the Third Medicine Valley, Gu An returned to his tower and extended his Divine Sense into the Annihilation Realm.
The cosmic space within the Annihilation Realm was darker, with no stars visible, and it was filled with a turbid Dao gas that made one feel oppressed.
Numerous gigantic ferocious beasts roamed within the Annihilation Realm, some even comparable in size to the Taicang Continent.
After a long while, Gu An found the place for his breakthrough and decided to go there that night.
Gu An retracted his Divine Sense and suddenly thought of the Lifespan Simulation.
Should he simulate the tribulation?
He immediately used the Lifespan Simulation function, thinking about the tribulation.
[Simulating the Evolutionary Tribulation of the current realm will consume 1,000,000 years of lifespan. Continue?]
One million years?
What a rip-off! Gu An dared not choose to continue, as he was likely to fail the tribulation. After all, in the Evolutionary Tribulation, he could only rely on his physical body to withstand it.
Gu An turned his head and looked at the Moonshadow Emperor.
The Moonshadow Emperor was at the eighth layer of the Divine Mind True Immortal Realm, and Gu An wondered if he should try sparring with him to see who had the stronger actual combat power.
Gu An immediately started simulating the Moonshadow Emperor.
[Locking onto the Moonshadow Emperor, commencing simulation of combat value.]
[Simulating combat with the current level Moonshadow Emperor will consume 1,000 years of lifespan. Continue?]
Only a thousand years?
Gu An was delighted, but then he realized the trap.
If he won, it would be fine, but if he lost, he would definitely remember it, and ten times would cost him ten thousand years of lifespan. It was a complete consumer trap.
Forget it, just try once!
Gu An chose to continue, and his eyes closed as his thoughts entered the simulation space. The environment remained the same as the Taixuan Sect, with a vast world and only him and the Moonshadow Emperor present.
The Moonshadow Emperor rose from behind a distant mountain peak, looking down at Gu An, who stood within the Third Medicine Valley.
As he watched the Moonshadow Emperor, Gu An suddenly felt like he was playing a one-on-one game from his past life, and it was quite interesting.
Battle!
Boom!
In an instant, the entire Taixuan Sect turned to ashes. From above, the vast Taicang Continent shattered, and the surrounding oceans rose in towering waves.
After the time it took to burn a stick of incense...
Gu An opened his eyes, his expression strange.
"Why is he so weak?"
Gu An felt helpless. If not for the consumption of a thousand years of lifespan, he could have easily killed the Moonshadow Emperor. During the simulated battle, he mostly allowed the Moonshadow Emperor to attack, but the Moonshadow Emperor struggled to break through the defense of the Primordial Ultimate Body.
Gu An's confidence grew.
He was indeed very strong at the same cultivation level, and he shouldn't be misled by his potential failure in the tribulation.
Higher-level cultivators often had powerful backgrounds, and they wouldn't rely solely on their own strength to overcome tribulations.
Moreover, the tribulation Gu An faced was even stronger than those of cultivators at the same level, as evident from the name of the tribulation itself.
Gu An calmed himself, closed his eyes, and pretended to nap in his chair, waiting for nightfall.
...
In the evening, Gu An left the Third Medicine Valley openly, using a teleportation formation. The disciples in the valley weren't surprised, as he often visited other medicine valleys.
Upon arriving at Xuan Gu, Gu An stayed for a while before leaving.
He traveled through the mountains for half an hour before disappearing into thin air.
He unleashed the Extreme Dao Ethereal Body, transforming himself into nothingness and leaving the universe at full speed.
After entering the Annihilation Realm, he flew towards the previously chosen location.
Soon, he landed on a meteor, with other meteors of various sizes in the distance. The meteor he was on was located at the edge of the meteor cluster, and it was quite inconspicuous.
The moment he landed, Gu An immediately activated his Lifespan Barrier.
Only then did he heave a sigh of relief and began to meditate comfortably.
He didn't start enhancing right away but instead gazed into the distance, sensing the power of the rules in the vicinity.
He found that the power of the rules here was very similar to that around the Divine Essence Great Universe and the Primordial Great Universe.
Could it be that all Great Universes are surrounded by the Annihilation Realm?
Or perhaps the beginning of the universe was the Annihilation Realm, and the Great Universes were born later?
Gu An fell into deep thought. After a while, he finally summoned his attribute panel.
【Name: Gu An】
【Lifespan: 419/1,030,812,376】
【Constitution: Primordial Ultimate Body】
【Cultivation: Divine Mind True Immortal Realm, Ninth Stage】
...
A lifespan of ten billion years—the more he looked, the more excited he became!
Let's enhance the constitution first!
Previously, he had used 20 million years of his lifespan to promote the Primordial Karma Body to the Primordial Chaos Body and then to the Primordial Ultimate Body.
This time, to enhance the Primordial Ultimate Body, it would probably take at least 20 million years of lifespan as well?
Forget it, let's be generous and use 50 million years of lifespan! Constitution not only affects aptitude but also actual combat power. The stronger the strength, the higher the chance of successfully transcending tribulations.
Gu An directly invested 50 million years of his lifespan into the Primordial Ultimate Body!
His lifespan instantly dropped by a digit, falling to 980 million years.
Countless prompts flashed madly before Gu An's eyes.
In the first 30 million years, the Primordial Ultimate Body didn't undergo a metamorphosis; it only became stronger.
Up until 35 million years, the Primordial Ultimate Body transformed into the Chaos Refining Ethereal Body.
Subsequently, the Chaos Refining Ethereal Body continued to sense the rules of the Great Dao, constantly enhancing its perception of the rules.
In the end, the Chaos Refining Ethereal Body couldn't promote further, but Gu An was already satisfied.
Boom—
The surrounding spirit energy surged frantically towards Gu An.
The spirit energy within the Annihilation Realm was more advanced than the spirit energy of the heavens and earth, infused with the breath of the Great Dao's rules, known as the Great Dao Spirit Energy. Absorbing the Great Dao Spirit Energy not only increases cultivation but also enhances perception of the Great Dao.
Of course, if one's cultivation realm isn't sufficient, absorbing the Great Dao Spirit Energy will only damage the physical body and harm the soul.
It seems that the mysterious light layer shrouding the Heavenly Spirit Great World might be a protective measure, allowing those at the Heaven Earth Fleeting Immortal Realm to withstand the Great Dao Spirit Energy without harm.
Gu An closed his eyes and devoted himself to the comprehension, feeling the transformation of the Chaos Refining Ethereal Body.
After the Primordial Ultimate Body transformed into the Chaos Refining Ethereal Body, although the Primordial Chaos Great Array didn't undergo a qualitative change, it was completely released, reaching the pinnacle of perfection.
The Primordial Chaos Great Array was a mighty divine ability, which Gu An had used before during simulated battles, easily crushing the Moonshadow Emperor.
If used with full power, it could even envelop the entire Heavenly Spirit Great World.
If Gu An's cultivation were stronger, he would undoubtedly be able to unleash even more terrifying power.
As the Great Dao Spirit Energy raged into Gu An's body, the surrounding cosmic space stirred with the winds of the Great Dao, chaotic and unrestrained, shaking the distant meteorites.
As soon as this commotion occurred, Gu An sensed numerous powerful divine senses sweeping by.
The weakest cultivation among them was at the Mystic Law Immortal Realm!
Indeed, the Annihilation Realm concealed many terrifying existences.
As time passed, more and more divine senses appeared, symbolizing that he had alarmed the Divine Mind True Immortals.
Fortunately, these existences only scanned with their divine senses and didn't personally inspect the area.
After an hour.
Gu An successfully cultivated the Chaos Refining Ethereal Body. He opened his eyes and saw that the Lifespan Barrier had consumed 5 million years of his lifespan.
That was a massive consumption! Gu An summoned his attribute panel again, his gaze falling on his primary cultivation method, the Grand Thousand Infinite Creation Art.
From the Chaos Primordial Holy Art to the Grand Thousand Infinite Creation Art, it had consumed 20 million years of his lifespan. This time, Gu An also planned to invest 50 million years of his lifespan.
Cultivation methods and constitution were the most important; other divine abilities and ultimate skills were just icing on the cake. With so many cultivation methods he had mastered, it was impossible to enhance them all.
Fifty million years of lifespan, invest!
Prompts popped up before his eyes, and he carefully examined them.
In the end, the Grand Thousand Infinite Creation Art was promoted to the Eternal Infinite Great Art!
Vast amounts of inherited memories flooded into Gu An's mind.
The Eternal Infinite Great Art allowed Gu An's cultivation to exist eternally, unless erased by a stronger force.
Aside from this trait, Gu An's cultivation strength also multiplied. When he unleashed the same level of power, his destructive force was several times greater than before.
The infinite clones awakened by the Grand Thousand Infinite Creation Art were also enhanced. His clones could exist eternally, but they couldn't develop independent consciousness. The existence of infinite clones gave Gu An more bodies and minds, but they were merely manifestations of his cultivation, weaker than his main body.
It was unclear who could force Gu An to summon his infinite clones.
He possessed numerous divine abilities, but he rarely used them, and of course, he didn't wish to face a crisis where he had to use all his tricks.
The Great Dao Spirit Energy rioted once more, and this time, it finally attracted the appearance of a powerful existence.
Gu An raised his eyes and saw a massive being appearing in the depths of the darkness, only its silhouette visible. This massive being seemed like some kind of demon beast, the largest existence Gu An had ever seen, even larger than the Great Universe. Just looking at its silhouette, he could feel its oppressive presence.
