Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Nine Layers of Wandering Immortal, Roaming the Heavens and Earth
It took Gu An a full four hours to advance from the ninth layer of the Nirvana Realm to the ninth layer of the Loose Immortal Realm.
Upon reaching the Loose Immortal Realm, his mana doubled, and he felt a significant release from many restrictions. These restrictions were the bonds that Heaven placed on all beings—for instance, he could now soar without using mana, dive into the sea effortlessly, and even transform his physical body into his primordial spirit, allowing him to pass through all innate barriers in the world without impediment.
It was simply indescribable!
When his cultivation reached the eighth layer of the Loose Immortal Realm, Gu An felt the entire ocean erupt into chaos. In the distance, he even saw great cultivators of the Nirvana Realm engaging in combat, making him feel secretly ashamed.
The experiences of the past two days made him realize the vastness of Heaven and Earth and that too many powerful auras passed through this region.
Lu Lingjun had not made a mistake in ascending to the Spirit Realm; in a certain sense, this realm was equivalent to the Spirit Realm or the Immortal Realm and was a world beyond mortal comprehension.
Considering Gu An's past life on Earth, this place was unlikely to be as large as the Taicang Dynasty.
Gu An recalled Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Emperor's names for this land.
The Great Heavenly Spirit Land!
Just how vast was this so-called Great Heaven and Earth?
Gu An couldn't help but look up at the sky.
Speaking of which, he had never explored how high the sky was.
In the Nirvana Realm, he had used his divine sense to probe continuously upward, with terrifying results.
His divine sense couldn't surpass the sky's apex. The heavens in the Great Heavenly Spirit Land seemed infinitely high, shocking him severely, given the cosmological concepts he had built in his previous life.
And now, in the Loose Immortal Realm, Gu An could faintly sense a mysterious force in the sky, a power that even Loose Immortals dared not rashly contact.
It wasn't a living being's aura but more like the majesty of Heaven!
Gu An took a deep breath and lowered his gaze back to his attribute panel, his eyes growing firm.
Since the commotion had already been significant enough, he decided to keep enhancing his cultivation level!
A million years of life span, invest!
A barrage of prompts appeared:
Failure!
Failure!
Failure!
Gu An remained optimistic. “Five million years of life span, can't I break the Yin-Yang Xuanhuang Five Emperors Tribulation?”
“I don't believe it!”
Just as this thought arose, his entire million-year investment in life span failed to pass the tribulation.
His expression unchanged, he invested another million years.
He continued to fail repeatedly.
He reminded himself that he was already a great cultivator at the ninth layer of the Loose Immortal Realm, with a stable Daoist heart.
“Do not be elated by external success, nor sad by personal failure…”
A third million-year life span, invest!
A few moments later, he couldn't help but utter a single word: “Crap!”
The demeanor nurtured through ninety-one years of cultivation in the Immortal Cultivation World finally broke, awakening a native expletive from the depths of his soul.
Gu An dared not invest another million years and opted for five hundred thousand years instead.
“Heavens bless me!”
Wait, he was defying Heaven, so he sought the blessing of his master, Cheng Xuandan!
Failure once more filled his vision.
When a prompt with significantly longer text appeared, his heart filled with joy.
“Here it comes!”
[After thirty-five thousand years of Qi Absorption Cultivation, using the Great Accomplishment in the Heaven and Earth Primordial Skill, you forcefully impacted the Traveling Immortal Realm, began to cross the tribulation, passed through the Yin-Yang Xuanhuang Five Emperors Tribulation, successfully crossing the tribulation, and your cultivation level rose to the first layer of the Traveling Immortal Realm.]
[After thirty-five thousand five hundred years of Qi Absorption Cultivation, your cultivation level rose to the second layer of the Traveling Immortal Realm.]
[After thirty-six thousand years of Qi Absorption Cultivation, your cultivation level rose to the third layer of the Traveling Immortal Realm.]
[After forty-four thousand years of Qi Absorption Cultivation, your cultivation level rose to the ninth layer of the Traveling Immortal Realm.]
[After forty-six thousand years of Qi Absorption Cultivation, using the Great Accomplishment in the Heaven and Earth Primordial Skill, you forcefully impacted the Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal Realm, began to cross the tribulation, but failed to survive the Heaven and Earth Divine Intent Heavenly Tribulation.]
The subsequent four thousand years were filled with failures, with a tribulation every two thousand years.
Whew—
The ninth layer of the Traveling Immortal Realm!
Exciting!
The earth spirit energy surged upwards, and the sound of the earth groaned like a dragon's roar echoing in his ears, making him feel incredibly joyous.
“Heaven does not disappoint those who persist against life's odds!”
“The Heaven and Earth Flying Immortal Realm; can one fly out of this sky?”
Gu An pondered this with infinite anticipation in his heart.
Now he only had one million six hundred thousand years of life left; he couldn't dare to continue crossing tribulations.
If he got carried away and drained his entire life span, resulting in sudden death, it would be too sorry for his current life!
The ninth layer of the Traveling Immortal Realm should be enough, right?
Currently, on the mainland's surface, there were no Nirvana Realm experts; they might exist in the Demon Land or the Seven Stars Spirit Realm, but they were hidden.
The Seven Stars Spirit Realm might have loose immortals, but could they defeat a Traveling Immortal like him?
If such an old monster existed, Gu An could wait for decades until the million-year function activated, then he could boost up again. He didn't believe the Seven Stars Spirit Realm could defeat him with his cheats!
No, I didn't really cheat; my cultivation level was achieved through my own efforts!
Gu An comforted himself.
The earth spirit energy poured into him far faster than before, and the life span barrier drew spiritual energy from a wide range, making Gu An feel powerful auras from all directions.
Loose Immortal realm auras had already appeared!
Would Traveling Immortal realm auras appear next?
Gu An felt secretly nervous; having just reached this realm, he didn't want to confront anyone of the same level.
As time went on, Gu An continually impacted the Traveling Immortal Realm, and the mysteries of this realm gradually surfaced in his mind.
Traveling Immortal, an immortal roaming Heaven and Earth. From the Ninth Heaven to the depths of the earth, the primordial spirit and physical body merged, freely coming and going through Heaven and Earth. The primordial spirit was no longer fragile, possessing even greater power than the physical body.
Reaching this realm, the power of the soul surpassed mana for the first time, and, naturally, his mana also transformed.
The Nine Heavens of the Immortal Path, the higher one ascended, the greater the gap of each layer!
While Gu An was immersed in his breakthrough, a colossal wave rolled up from the west, a thousand feet high, shocking him to turn and look.
With a thunderous crash!
The island where Gu An resided was submerged by the wave, and before the island could reemerge, the surrounding waters started churning violently.
Gu An distinctly felt something hit the island, causing the mountain at the island's base to break, and he fell with it.
The life span barrier's advantages were fully revealed; though the barrier fell, he remained seated as if on the ground, without any jolts, and the earth spirit energy continued to flow into him.
He looked up, through the surging seawater, and saw a colossal creature seemingly as vast as a mountain range moving through the sea, its presence awe-inspiring.
[Deep Sea Ancient Whale (Nirvana Realm Eighth Layer): 87808/150000/180000]
An eighty-thousand-year-old sea demon!
No wonder they said the ocean was more treacherous than the Demon Land!
Gu An noticed other sea demons of various realms, finding them quite novel.
Soon, his breakthrough approached a critical juncture, forcing him to close his eyes and focus entirely on understanding the Traveling Immortal Realm's true essence.
Time passed quickly.
When Gu An opened his eyes, he had already reached the first layer of the Traveling Immortal Realm, discovering himself at the sea floor.
It was pitch black, surrounded by numerous mountains and countless sea demons, nary a living being without demon energy.
Being in such an environment was inevitably frightening.
Fortunately, Gu An sensed no aura of the Traveling Immortal Realm.
If a Traveling Immortal showed up, he would have to go all out next.
From the first to the ninth layer of the Traveling Immortal Realm required even more vast spiritual energy; the life span barrier continually drew earth spirit energy, causing even the sea floor to tremble slightly.
An hour later.
Gu An sensed intense activity in the distance, as if an underwater volcano erupted. Amidst the scorching seawater, an aura from the Loose Immortal realm emerged, chaotic and agitated.
He vaguely heard a shout.
“Hahaha, the Daoist has finally broken free!”
“Seven Stars Spirit Realm, just you wait!”
Upon hearing this, Gu An was secretly delighted. Could it be that he rescued an enemy of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm?
He now regarded the Seven Stars Spirit Realm as his imaginary foe. If more enemies of the Seven Stars Spirit Realm appeared, he would naturally be pleased.
Even with the cultivation of the ninth layer of the Traveling Immortal Realm, Gu An had no plans of single-handedly challenging the Seven Stars Spirit Realm. At least there needed to be someone openly sharing the burden of attention; he could venture into the Seven Stars Spirit Realm and deal with the strongest enemies but couldn't let everyone think he alone took it down.
The Seven Stars Spirit Realm had existed for so many years; who knew what connections it had across the ocean?
The ocean was not short of Immortal Path life forms.
Resolving this calamity surely meant another was on the horizon; life was always filled with difficulties. If Gu An could slow down each phase, it would be beneficial for him.
Gu An contemplated no further. As long as no one disturbed him, he could find peace even at the sea floor.
He pulled up his attribute panel.
The life span barrier rapidly consumed his life span; he had about one million five hundred thousand years left.
After some thought, he decided to enhance his swordsmanship.
He had hesitated to do so before, fearing an insufficient life span, but now, with a remaining life span, he could proceed.
He previously hesitated to upgrade the Wood Spirit Sword Technique. Now possessing the Five Elements Skill, there was no need to upgrade the Wood Spirit Sword Technique.
He continued to enhance the Taicang Divine-Shocking Sword!
This was the signature sword technique of Sword Venerable Fudao!
More and more people recognized the Taicang Divine-Shocking Sword, which wasn't a good thing.
He had to create a sword technique unheard of by the world!
Let's start with a test of two hundred thousand years!
Gu An invested his life span into evolving and practicing the Taicang Divine-Shocking Sword, and a series of prompts appeared.
Eight thousand years later, the Taicang Divine-Shocking Sword was elevated to the Vast Star Suppressing Heaven Boundless Sword!
The remaining twelve thousand years were used to bring the Vast Star Suppressing Heaven Boundless Sword technique to the Peak Creation Realm!
Vast memories then flooded Gu An's mind.
The Vast Star Suppressing Heaven Boundless Sword used the stars to evoke sword intent, capable of suppressing Heaven and Earth, its sword Qi boundless and immense, already containing the mysteries of great divine power!
Half an hour later.
Gu An opened his eyes, brimming with determination.
What a domineering Vast Star Suppressing Heaven Boundless Sword!
With this sword unleashed, all sword cultivators under Heaven would likely bow in submission, not daring to imagine surpassing his Sword Dao.
Gu An was already fantasizing about the influence this sword technique's display would have.
However, it couldn't be used recklessly; it had to be unveiled at a crucial moment!
He smiled.
The ninth layer of the Traveling Immortal Realm, mastering the Heaven and Earth Primordial Skill and the Vast Star Suppressing Heaven Boundless Sword, possessing the Mystic Holy Body, how could a Demon Emperor withstand a few of his moves?
Could the Demon Ancestor about to be resurrected threaten him?
“Sorry, junior sister, but your senior brother is unwilling to see you cast away on a deserted island!”
Gu An slowly stood up and closed the life span barrier. With one step, he emerged from the sea and arrived tens of thousands of miles high in the sky. In an instant, his divine sense captured the aura of Xiaochuan in the Supreme Sect's Third Medicine Valley.
This overwhelming feeling of power gave Gu An tremendous joy.
With one stride, he arrived above the Supreme Sect!
The distance traveled in that single step was immeasurable!
