Chapter 416: Breakthrough to the Perfection of Xuan Yuan Zi Zai Immortal Realm!
Chapter 416: Breakthrough to the Perfection of Xuan Yuan Zi Zai Immortal Realm!
Gu An watched as the skull advanced, but due to the great distance, he couldn't use his Life Probe, and could only follow it with his Divine Mind.
The two Freedom Immortals were still locked in a fierce battle, unaware of the greater danger approaching.
Gu An could sense that the skull hadn't reached the Daozang Zi Zai Immortal Realm, but it was even more dangerous than the Freedom Immortals, and he didn't know what kind of divine ability it was using that made it impossible for the Freedom Immortals to detect.
Time continued to pass.
Half a period later, when the two Freedom Immortals were in a stalemate, the skull suddenly appeared and became incredibly huge, swallowing both Freedom Immortals in one bite. It then transformed into a rainbow light and disappeared into the depths of darkness.
The cosmic void fell silent.
The previous great battle seemed to have never happened, and although Gu An was surprised, he had no intention of tracking down the skull.
It had just appeared, and now with his breakthrough, the commotion it caused could still be blamed on it.
Gu An brought up his attribute panel.
【Name: Gu An】
【Lifespan: 740/3, 329, 223, 602】
【Constitution: Hunchuan Liangxu Body】
【Cultivation: Daozang Zi Zai Immortal Realm Perfection】
...
Three billion and thirty million years of lifespan!
Breaking through a major realm is not difficult!
Gu An's face was filled with a smile. He decided to enhance his constitution first! He directly invested one hundred million years of lifespan into his constitution, and various prompts kept appearing.
In the end, he didn't succeed in his promotion.
Gu An immediately invested another one hundred million years of lifespan, and the Hunchuan Liangxu Body successfully advanced to the Hunchuan Daogold Body!
Great Dao Spirit Energy surged towards him, and the lifespan consumption numbers displayed by the Lifespan Barrier began to jump frantically.
Gu An closed his eyes and began to immerse himself in the transformation of the Hunchuan Daogold Body.
Golden flames swirled around the golden patterns on his forehead, and his skin began to glow with a golden light, emitting an indescribable divine aura.
The Hunchuan Daogold Body allowed his flesh and blood to be comparable to the power of rules, compatible with the Great Dao, and able to perfectly withstand the baptism of all Great Dao rules. This meant that Gu An could now delve into any Great Dao.
Not only that, but the Hunchuan Daogold Body could also bring about a metamorphosis in his power, and his soul would be tempered by the Great Dao.
This was an incredibly wonderful process, without a hint of pain.
The Annihilation Domain also stirred, with Great Dao Spirit Energy surging and Great Dao rules trembling, affecting an increasingly wide area. The sentient beings hidden within the Annihilation Domain emerged, some fleeing in all directions, while others investigated the cause.
In front of Gu An, a black dragon with nine dragon heads soared through the clouds. The continent beneath Gu An was only half the size of one of the dragon heads, yet this was a continent comparable to the Taicang Continent, indicating the exaggerated size of this dragon.
No sentient being discovered Gu An's existence, and the formidable power of the Lifespan Barrier remained undetected.
Half a period later, Gu An opened his eyes and began to invest his lifespan into Yonghe Daowu Limitless Technique.
One hundred million years of lifespan allowed Yonghe Daowu Limitless Technique to advance to the Great Dao Limitless Technique, reaching the Expert Level! Half a period later, Gu An began to enhance the Daoxiang Shinian Technique, which was crucial for concealing his cultivation.
He invested another one hundred million years, and the Daoxiang Shinian Technique advanced to the Dashi Xuanxu Technique, achieving Profound Understanding! Next, he improved the Tadao Suoni Step and the Jidao Huaxu Body, the former being the only movement technique he cultivated, with combat significance, while the latter could prevent cause and effect deduction, hiding his true identity, which was equally important.
He invested one hundred million years of lifespan into each!
The Tadao Suoni Step advanced to the Gengu Liangtian Dao Step, reaching the Expert Level! The Jidao Huaxu Body advanced to the Wuxiang Wuxing Zizai Body, attaining the Peak Level!
After completing his inheritance, Gu An checked his attribute panel and saw that he still had over twenty-seven billion years of lifespan remaining, with the Lifespan Barrier having consumed over eight million years.
He had no plans to enhance the divine abilities and ultimate skills of his previous life, like Long Zhan, Lu Han, and Ji, as these skills were the culmination of his past life's cultivation, with extremely high grades. Moreover, he wanted to comprehend his own Dao.
After much thought, Gu An invested one hundred million years of lifespan into Daogang Yuanqi, his body protection technique, which should also aid in tribulation crossing.
In the end, Daogang Yuanqi advanced to Huda Shenyuan, reaching the Enter the Hall level!
The Annihilation Domain was in complete chaos, with countless Divine Minds and Divine Senses sweeping through, and various powers roaming. Sentient beings from all directions were active, with Gu An at the center.
Even in the distant Great World, numerous beings flew out to investigate the situation.
The extraction of Great Dao Spirit Energy was affecting the rules of the Great World.
Panic was spreading!
After Gu An finished inheriting the memories of Huda Shenyuan, his entire body surrounded by golden light, a white light circle suddenly shrank and merged with his Hunchuan Daogold Body, as if a flowing light was spreading over his body, covering every inch of his skin.
His skin returned to its original state, but his entire aura far surpassed what it was before, as if he were a supreme deity controlling all things, with a detached gaze and an oppressive aura that looked down upon all beings.
Gu An brought up his attribute panel and saw that he still had over twenty-five billion years of lifespan remaining. He began to calm himself.
The most important moment was about to arrive!
Breaking through the realm!
One hundred million years of cultivation!
【You have cultivated for five million years, and with your mastery of the Great Dao Limitless Technique, you forcefully break through to the Xuan Yuan Zi Zai Immortal Realm, beginning the tribulation crossing. You fail to endure the Luohui Xuanxu Datian Dao Tribulation.】
……
A tribulation every five million years?
That's ruthless, the last one was only every two million years.
Gu An only sighed inwardly, but in reality, he had already prepared himself mentally.
As long as he succeeded in the breakthrough, the lifespan spent along the way was just a number!
After spending a billion years of his lifespan without success, he had failed twenty times.
He continued to invest his lifespan.
Investing a billion years at a time, Gu An's expression remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.
When he had spent ten billion years of his lifespan without success, he slightly opened his mouth.
There were still sixteen billion years of lifespan left!
Stay calm!
Gu An continued to invest in increments of one billion years, and his face became more solemn.
Five million years later, it was the sixth billion years!
Finally, Gu An noticed the prompt suddenly lengthening.
You have cultivated for 45 million years, and with your profound mastery of the Infinite Dao Technique, you forcibly break through to the Xuan Yuan Freedom Immortal Realm. You begin your tribulation and successfully endure the Luohui Xuanxu Datian Dao Tribulation, passing the tribulation. Your cultivation base breaks through to the initial stage of the Xuan Yuan Freedom Immortal Realm.
You have cultivated for one billion years, and your cultivation base has improved.
Even after 55 million years, he couldn't make a small breakthrough.
Feeling the tremors of the Great Dao Spirit Energy once more, Gu An continued to invest his lifespan.
Striving to reach the state of perfection in one go!
In the end, after spending over six billion years of his lifespan, he finally broke through to the perfection stage of the Xuan Yuan Freedom Immortal Realm!
Gu An checked the rate of lifespan consumption within the Lifespan Barrier, and his heart calmed down. With over four billion years of lifespan remaining, he wouldn't be completely drained.
Closing his eyes, he immersed himself in his own transformation.
In the distant void, rolling flames appeared, indicating a battle between powerful cultivators.
The disturbance in the Annihilation Domain had been going on for some time, and various forces, unaware of the truth, became increasingly anxious and suspicious of each other, leading to friction.
The continent beneath Gu An began to tremble, as if it were about to shatter.
As time passed, more and more battle silhouettes appeared, and eventually, two figures arrived in the sky above the continent to fight. Each wielded divine weapons, clashing like heavenly deities, their battle unceasing.
They were unaware that beneath them, a terrifying existence beyond the Freedom Immortal Realm was breaking through.
Gu An's Dao Fruit began to metamorphose, adorned with Xuan Yuan Dao Patterns. The Great Longevity True Mantra, born from the Dao Fruit, also grew stronger, merging with more rules of the Great Dao and the Universe, expanding the reach and depth of the Longevity True Mantra.
As Gu An's cultivation base stepped into the Xuan Yuan Freedom Immortal Realm, countless memories flooded his mind—memories of his past, future, and even other illusory destinies.
When faced with certain life choices, each decision would lead to different destinies. These destinies would continue to branch out in the future, and only the path he truly walked was his reality. Although the others were illusory, they could still be predicted, and if his cultivation was powerful enough, he could even make them come true.
To make these predictions a reality, one would have to create the same universe.
The Xuan Yuan Freedom Immortal Realm was a process of comprehending destiny, allowing one to see all the destinies that could arise in one's early life and their future directions, thus making one's future path more resolute.
The myriad forms of life rose and fell, and Gu An witnessed the destruction of the Heavenly Spirit Great World.
That vast continent would be crushed to dust at a certain moment, and not just the Heavenly Spirit Great World; all great worlds would eventually face annihilation, just like sentient beings who would one day meet their end.
The destruction of the Heavenly Spirit Great World was irreversible, as it was part of the evolution of the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao. Unless Gu An could surpass them, but if he did, the eternal and indestructible Heavenly Spirit Great World would bring variables to other universes.
Gu An saw himself preserving the Heavenly Spirit Great World, and the Taixuan Sect and Taicang Imperial Dynasty became the rulers of the universe, the next Holy Court and Immortal Dynasty. They stood above all, ruling over the sentient beings, venturing beyond the heavens, and plundering everywhere.
In the end, they became the new hegemony, the enemy of all sentient beings.
In the veil of the unknown, everything was destined, just a matter of new and old succession.
Cultivators could calculate the universe and nature, but they couldn't fully understand the hearts of all people.
Any individual, any sentient being with intelligence, could become a variable, and one variable could spawn countless others, just as the Dao De Jing says.
The Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things.
All things are like this!
From the present perspective, many things are the same as from the future, and some roles are always played by someone.
Reaching the Xuan Yuan Freedom Immortal Realm not only strengthens the Dao Fruit but also helps one find their place in the world.
Gu An used this opportunity to sort out his Dao Heart.
If he could see through destiny, how should he treat those closely related to him?
Emotions bound him, but should he be bound by them?
Following one's original heart, but what is the original heart? In life, with each day lived, the original heart accepts new things, and emotions are established postnatally.
