Chapter 365: Breakthrough to the Dao Zang Zizai Immortal Realm Perfection!
Chapter 365: Breakthrough to the Dao Zang Zizai Immortal Realm Perfection!
The Second Billion Years!
After Gu An made his decision, his eyes fixed intently on the prompt.
One prompt after another appeared, and all of them ended in failure!
With tribulations occurring once every two million years, and only fifty tribulations possible in a billion years, Gu An's anxiety grew with each failure, recalling the previous instances of two to three hundred failed attempts.
In the end, all attempts were unsuccessful!
Two hundred failures in two billion years of lifespan!
Gu An remembered the Heavenly Dao Taiyi Divine Essence Great Tribulation, and although he hadn't further enhanced his cultivation technique or divine abilities, he felt that he was already powerful enough in all aspects.
This Heavenly Dao Taiyi Divine Essence Great Tribulation was indeed formidable!
Gu An sighed inwardly, then once again, he invested a billion years of his lifespan.
Failure!
Failure!
Failure!
Gu An noticed that the lifespan barrier had barely consumed any of his lifespan, and he couldn't help but feel that the barrier was silently mocking him.
Another billion years!
It should succeed this time! Gu An clenched his teeth, no longer able to maintain his composure.
The prompt appeared again, faster than before.
Another failure!
Gu An had already spent four billion years of his lifespan, failing two hundred times.
He couldn't help but think of Long Zhan, wondering how many years of his lifespan Long Zhan had spent to achieve success.
Although Gu An had inherited Long Zhan's memories, he couldn't see Long Zhan's process of seizing lifespans or hear Long Zhan's inner monologue. He could only experience Long Zhan's life through his own eyes, which was how he confirmed that he was the original, preventing him from getting lost.
Long Zhan had never revealed his ability to seize lifespans to anyone, nor had he boasted about his lifespan. Therefore, Gu An was unaware of how long Long Zhan's lifespan was.
However, when recalling Long Zhan's memories, Gu An found that Long Zhan had indeed been frustrated during his initial attempts at breaking through to the Dao Fruit Realm, suggesting that Long Zhan had also failed numerous times.
Gu An took a deep breath, cleared his mind of distractions, and continued his breakthrough.
With six billion years of lifespan remaining, success was all that mattered. After all, lifespan was just a number, and he could slowly accumulate more.
Moreover, he was luckier than Long Zhan. Long Zhan had only unlocked the ability to seize lifespans in the latter stages of his life, while Gu An was only four hundred and nineteen years old.
There were infinite possibilities in life!
As long as he didn't act as arrogantly as Long Zhan, he would be fine!
One more billion years!
Gu An made up his mind. After all the prompts appeared, he immediately invested another billion years of his lifespan.
He didn't ignore his attribute panel, which showed he still had four billion years of lifespan remaining.
Another failure!
Gu An had no choice but to stop and calm down.
Two more attempts, and if he still hadn't broken through after two billion years, he would have to give up for now, especially since the lifespan barrier would continue to consume his lifespan during the breakthrough.
The previous breakthrough had cost him fifty million years of lifespan, and this time it would surely double.
One more time!
One billion years!
Gu An's gaze turned icy, but his eyes soon changed.
[You have cultivated for 48 million years, and with your profound mastery of the Eternal Infinite Great Art, you forcibly break through to the Dao Fruit Realm. You endure the Heavenly Dao Taiyi Divine Essence Great Tribulation and successfully pass the tribulation, entering the Dao Fruit Realm. Your cultivation base breaks through to the initial stage of the Dao Zang Zizai Immortal Realm.]
[You have cultivated for 85 million years, and your cultivation base advances to the intermediate stage of the Dao Zang Zizai Immortal Realm.]
[You have cultivated for one billion years, and your cultivation base...]
Breakthrough success!
The minor realm cultivation base was no longer divided into nine layers but into the initial and intermediate stages!
It seemed that the Dao Fruit Realm was a major realm, equivalent to the Mortal Realm or the Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Dao.
Dao Zang Zizai Immortal!
This was the realm Long Zhan had reached, and he was slain by the Extinction Emperor upon attaining this level.
The Great Dao's spiritual energy began to surge towards Gu An, and he watched as the lifespan barrier's consumption rate rapidly increased.
With three billion years of lifespan remaining, Gu An continued to invest.
Prompt after prompt appeared, and this time, he gradually invested his lifespan, refraining from the previous extravagant single-billion-year expenditures.
Late stage of the Dao Zang Zizai Immortal Realm!
Perfection in the Dao Zang Zizai Immortal Realm!
Stop!
Just two minor realm stages, and Gu An had spent one billion and two hundred million years of his lifespan.
He still had one billion and eight hundred million years of lifespan left! Would the lifespan barrier deplete it all? Gu An felt slightly anxious, and if he were desperate, he would have to cancel the lifespan barrier and not wait for death.
Along with the influx of vast amounts of Great Dao's spiritual energy into his body, the Annihilation Realm erupted into chaos once more. Not only was the Great Dao's spiritual energy in turmoil, but even the Great Dao's rules in the universe were in chaos.
Almost instantly, the living beings engaged in combat or roaming were terrified and immediately scattered.
This chaos far exceeded the commotion from Gu An's previous breakthrough, even frightening powerful beings like Divine Mind True Immortals into fleeing.
Gu An soon closed his eyes, immersing himself in his transformation.
His Dao Seed began to absorb the Great Dao's spiritual energy, and even some of the Great Dao's rules merged into his body, primarily the rules of causality and destiny, followed by the rules of the soul and reincarnation.
The reincarnation rule had always existed but wasn't as well-developed as in his previous life's mythology.
The reincarnation rule absorbed souls and facilitated their rebirth, a process that couldn't be captured or interfered with.
Gu An's thoughts focused on his Dao Seed, which had been accumulating its unique path.
The path of cultivation resembled the Great Dao's rules but was also different.
It was more like a special form of magical power, and its manifestation was akin to divine abilities.
Once his Dao Seed bore the Dao Fruit, Gu An would be able to fight with his unique path, elevating his combat level and expanding his means.
The Dao Treasury Realm would allow the Dao Fruit to nurture the first innate divine ability!
The innate divine ability cannot be passed down to others and can only be used by oneself!
As Gu An contemplated his first innate divine ability, he also considered his Immortal Dao treasure. If he could combine the two, it would be even more wonderful.
He loved writing, so he decided to create a pen, and his innate divine ability would be related to it.
He quickly formed an idea, and as his thoughts flowed, the Great Dao's spiritual energy and the power of the Great Dao rules rushed into his body at an increasing pace, causing the impact to rapidly expand, soon alarming the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
The Great Cultivators who were on duty in the Beyond Light Layer were all startled and stood up.
"It's happening again, and this time it's even more intense than before!"
"What is this sound? Why are even the spiritual energy and rules of the universe in turmoil?"
"Unable to pinpoint the source of the anomaly."
"Be careful, this must be related to the Heaven Demon!"
"One problem hasn't been resolved, and another arises. Could this be the legendary Epoch Tribulation?"
As the Great Cultivators discussed, two figures appeared above them, but no one noticed their arrival.
These were two Freedom Immortals, one from the Immortal Dynasty and the other from the Holy Court.
The Freedom Immortal from the Immortal Dynasty was named Ancient Immortal Emperor, and the one from the Holy Court was named Sage Ancestor.
The Ancient Immortal Emperor had white hair and a youthful face, wearing a white robe, and his whole body shone with white light, making him look fantastical and out of place in the vast universe.
"Is this a breakthrough or an array formation?" the Ancient Immortal Emperor asked, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
The Sage Ancestor wore a dark Daoist robe, and his black and white mixed hair danced gently. He exuded a powerful sense of oppression, and his gaze was also fixed on the depths of the universe.
"It doesn't seem like either," the Sage Ancestor said with a complex tone. "It's more like some Great Dao rule is influencing the universe."
The two Freedom Immortals fell silent.
After a long while, the Sage Ancestor turned to the Ancient Immortal Emperor and said, "The struggles of the younger generations, you won't intervene, will you?"
The Ancient Immortal Emperor turned his head to look at him and replied, "As long as you don't break our agreement, I won't either."
Hearing this, the Sage Ancestor smiled and nodded, "Let the younger ones fight. Cultivating the Great Dao is what we should be doing. If the Heaven Demon truly invades, and the Heavenly Spirit Great World faces the danger of annihilation, then we will take action."
The Ancient Immortal Emperor had no objections. He turned his head and glanced at the Heavenly Spirit Great World, his eyes filled with deep meaning.
"How many more generations until the Holy Heaven?" the Ancient Immortal Emperor asked.
The Sage Ancestor shook his head, "I don't know. Many years ago, he no longer trusted me. He embarked on a path of solitary strength, seeking to comprehend the Heavenly Dao."
The Ancient Immortal Emperor fell silent, not asking further. He turned his gaze back to the Annihilation Realm.
...
Boom!
Gu An's Dao Seed completely condensed into a Dao Fruit, and he officially achieved the Dao Treasury Realm! At the same time, his Dao Fruit manifested Dao patterns, which were the manifestation of his innate divine ability!
Gu An named the divine ability he created the Eternal Truth. This ability primarily revolved around cause and effect and fate, determining the life and destiny of all beings through words.
It seemed to possess the mysterious quality of 'words becoming reality'!
Gu An continued to strive for the middle stage of the Dao Treasury Freedom Immortal Realm!
He opened his eyes and looked at his attribute panel, seeing that he still had over 130 million years of lifespan left, which slightly eased his mind.
From this perspective, the lifespan barrier would not deplete his lifespan.
Time passed quickly.
Half an hour later, his cultivation reached the late stage of the Dao Treasury Freedom Immortal Realm!
Just one minor realm away!
The late stage of the Dao Treasury Freedom Immortal Realm had far more profound power than the early stage, both in quantity and quality.
The unprecedented feeling of power made Gu An feel incredibly exhilarated.
He even felt that the universe could not bind him, and he could easily leap out of it.
He restrained himself, sensing the presence of terrifying beings beyond the universe, possibly the Extinction Emperor or the Black Xuan Emperor, waiting for him.
He turned his gaze towards the distance.
His divine sense transformed into an invisible force, probing the faraway realm.
As he traveled through the Annihilation Realm, his divine sense detected numerous powerful beings, including Divine Mind True Immortals and Freedom Immortals, but they were spread out over vast distances. In terms of regional distribution, it was equivalent to the size of the Heavenly Spirit Great World, making it unlikely to find a Freedom Immortal within such a large area.
After traversing a vast distance, he saw another Great World.
He did not linger and continued forward.
In the following time, he witnessed three more Great Worlds, all surrounded by the Annihilation Realm.
When his divine sense reached its limit, he quickly retracted it and focused on breaking through.
The nearest Great World to the Heavenly Spirit Great World was extremely far away, and even a Divine Mind True Immortal would take several years to reach it, and along the way, they would have to pass through many areas of spatial distortion, which could not be traversed by flight alone.
Gu An turned his attention inward, observing his Dao Fruit.
He had an intuition that when the Dao Fruit blossomed, it would lead to an entirely new realm.
He eagerly awaited that day.
Just then, Gu An seemed to sense something and looked up.
In the depths of darkness, a pair of gigantic eyes appeared, eyes he had seen before during his previous breakthrough. He hadn't expected them to appear again.
The Heavenly Spirit Great World was not as large as the pupil of these eyes, indicating their immense size! Gu An stared at these enormous eyes, determined to see through them.
