Steadily Becoming A Saint, The Immortal Officials Hired Me To Tend The Horses
/ Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses Chapter 95
Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Innate Realm, Breaking Through to Mystic Heart Realm Nine Layers!
Inside the cave, the firelight flickered.
Li Ya sat on a stone, his upper body bare, wrapping his entire body's wounds with white cloth. Blood continually seeped out, looking extremely terrifying, yet he did not frown.
Hovering beside him was a soul body, an elder with a tall figure, stroking his beard as he watched him.
“You can endure the toxicity of the Thousand-Handed Demon Vine, your body has grown stronger again.” The elder praised.
Li Ya responded calmly, “Still not enough. Compared to Lv Xian and Ji Xiaoyu, it's nothing. Not to mention, the sect has recently seen the rise of An Hao, who is said to have talent even more exaggerated than the two of them.”
The elder chuckled, “They are born geniuses. You are different; you are a genius of effort and may still surpass them. From my perspective, innate talent is not the most important. What matters most is a steadfast Daoist Heart and a relentless spirit of perseverance.”
Li Ya nodded, just about to speak, when the flames on the fire suddenly shook violently, causing Li Ya's expression to change dramatically.
“Spiritual energy sinking?”
Li Ya frowned, as did his elder.
The elder frowned, “Could it be a natural disaster rather than man-made? What does this portend?”
He calculated with his fingers, but unfortunately, could not determine anything.
As the spiritual energy in the North Sea Mountains began to sink, the roars of demon beasts echoed unceasingly between heaven and earth. Cultivators hiding in their caves rushed out, and those who were fighting had to stop.
Under a tree.
Gu An was surrounded by five-colored spirit light, looking like a light egg as he sat motionless in meditation.
He also heard the roars from all directions; this commotion no longer frightened him.
This was just the beginning. After enhancing his Spirit Root, he still needed to enhance his cultivation technique, and then his cultivation level.
The spiritual energy in the North Sea Mountains was exceptionally dense, far surpassing that around Mystic Valley. Even though the spiritual energy was beginning to sink, it did not significantly affect the overall spiritual energy of the North Sea Mountains.
As time passed, Gu An's attention began to focus on the consumption of the Life Span Barrier.
He could not afford to be careless!
He had a premonition that the consumption of the Life Span Barrier this time would not be a small amount. He did not want to die from life span exhaustion.
An hour later, Gu An had completely transformed into a Five Elements Treasure Body. He could feel the changes throughout his entire physical body, with his qi-blood and strength growing stronger, his ability to induce spiritual power increasing, and his senses undergoing a tremendous transformation.
He even felt as if the Five Element Spiritual Energy around him had merged with him, a sensation that was simply too marvelous.
Gu An suppressed his joy, planning to study the wonders of the Five Elements Treasure Body later; for now, he needed to continue burning life span!
First, the Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy Skill!
This technique allowed him to conceal his cultivation level and aura, which was extremely crucial!
Ten thousand years, invested!
A series of notifications flashed crazily, and Gu An carefully read through them.
The Mystic Yellow Dragon Energy Skill was promoted to Earth Divine Energy Skill, and Earth Divine Energy Skill was promoted to Primordial Ruyi Skill!
Promoted twice!
Not bad!
Memories of the Primordial Ruyi Skill flooded into his mind.
The Primordial Ruyi Skill not only drastically increased the ability to hide his cultivation level and aura, but also awakened the divine skill, Great and Minor Ruyi.
By covering an object with spiritual power, it allowed any existence to shrink or grow, including living spirits and himself. This divine skill truly made Gu An feel the wonders of the immortal path.
Gu An immersed himself in path enlightenment, forgetting external matters.
In the distance.
Li Xuandao, who was meditating on an array platform, took out a compass and began to cast a spell to deduce. Needles on the compass jumped wildly, causing his expression to become solemn.
After a long while, the speed of the needles' jumping slowed down; though still slightly trembling, the hexagram was revealed.
“The heavenly secrets are concealed, unseen for a thousand years…”
Li Xuandao muttered, then joyfully spoke to himself, “Although the spiritual energy is sinking, making it unsuitable for cultivation and tribulation crossing, what I need is not spiritual energy but tribulation crossing methods. The concealment of heavenly secrets is an excellent opportunity for me!”
He frowned again, hesitating.
He was unsure of the reason behind the sinking spiritual energy. If it was caused by a great cultivator, would he encounter trouble if he crossed his tribulation here?
But thinking about the court's situation, Li Xuandao gritted his teeth.
Cross!
To die in a celestial tribulation was better than to die in court!
His goal was not just the Void Crossing Realm, but the Unification Realm!
He wanted to become an immortal emperor, just like the mythological Heavenly Emperor!
Li Xuandao put down the compass, raised his arms, and instantly, the formations in the valley activated one after another. Layers of light screens rose, and the spiritual energy within the formations swirled above his head, gradually gathering into Yin clouds.
He then waved his sleeves, and the mouths of all the elixir bottles opened in succession. After completing all this, he looked up.
The sky was dark, thunderclouds rolled, and the light of the formations illuminated the tribulation clouds above him clearly. The gathering heavenly might made his gaze increasingly resolute.
He had to succeed!
Passing down the Primordial Ruyi Skill consumed another hour for Gu An, but he felt it was relatively fast. This skill was far more complex than previous cultivation techniques, yet it could be inherited in a short time, giving him the feeling of having cultivated for ten thousand years. This indicated his life span Golden Finger was also growing stronger.
Previously, he had worried that as his cultivation level increased, the time to achieve breakthroughs in reality would also lengthen. If eventually any cultivation technique inheritance took several days, and breakthroughs took several months, how could that possibly work?
Luckily, he did not need to worry!
Gu An glanced at the life span consumed by the Life Span Barrier and found the situation acceptable!
Continue!
Gu An invested ten thousand years of life span into the Yang Wood Primordial Skill!
Notifications started flooding his vision again, but they did not distract him.
The Yang Wood Primordial Skill was promoted to Primordial Earth Immortal Skill!
It only advanced once, but with the word “immortal” in its name, Gu An had high expectations.
Tonight, two cultivation techniques starting with “primordial” had appeared, reminding Gu An of the Primordial Daoist Talisman within Ji Xiaoyu.
Could primordial be a stage?
If that were true, wouldn't Ji Xiaoyu be born with an advantage that took others hundreds of thousands of years of effort?
No wonder they were so monstrous!
Gu An marveled inwardly, and then the vast inheritance memories took over his thoughts.
As spiritual energy sank again, the hearts of the beings in the North Sea Mountains, which had just eased, tensed once more.
Figures exuding powerful auras continually passed over the forest where Gu An was. Some were as large as mountains, but none noticed the person hidden in this forest—the culprit behind the sinking spiritual energy.
This night, the North Sea Mountains would certainly not find peace!
More than half an hour later, Gu An opened his eyes. Seeing that he still had six hundred eighty thousand years of life span left, he sighed softly.
The Life Span Barrier had already consumed over ten thousand years of life span. He began to feel that the situation was not looking too good.
He looked toward the column of cultivation level.
He was about to invest his life span when battle pressure came from the east, causing him to frown.
A battle between Unification Realm cultivators!
The distance was not too far, about two hundred miles.
This distance was very close for Unification Realm cultivators!
Gu An did not rush to make a breakthrough, willing to wait until they moved farther away. What if they intruded into his Life Span Barrier during his breakthrough?
Ah, if only the Life Span Barrier could upgrade in the future!
Gu An lamented inwardly, but he was not panicked.
If they did intrude, he would be forced to grant them death.
Reaching the Unification Realm was not easy. He hoped they knew better.
Fortunately, the situation did not develop into the worst-case scenario Gu An imagined. The two Unification Realm great cultivators fought for a while before chasing each other away into the distance.
Let's do it!
First, invest ten thousand years to calm the nerves!
Ten thousand years should be enough for a successful breakthrough!
[You invested ten thousand years of life span to cultivate and evolve your cultivation level]
[You practiced Energy Absorption Cultivation for five hundred years, using your great achievement in Primordial Earth Immortal Skill to forcibly impact the Mystic Heart Realm, and began tribulation crossing. You did not survive the Cangyuan Five Spirits Heavenly Tribulation, tribulation crossing failed]
[You practiced Energy Absorption Cultivation for one thousand five hundred years, using your great achievement in Primordial Earth Immortal Skill to forcibly impact the Mystic Heart Realm, and began tribulation crossing. You did not survive the Cangyuan Five Spirits Heavenly Tribulation, tribulation crossing failed]
Tribulation crossing every thousand years was still acceptable, indicating his margin for error was high.
A hundred attempts should be enough to succeed in crossing the tribulation, right?
He had enhanced two cultivation techniques!
Failure!
Failure!
Failure!
Continuous failures irritated Gu An's eyes. Before the consumption of fifty thousand years of life span, he felt that it was fine, still acceptable.
When he failed at sixty-seven thousand five hundred years, he began to grit his teeth.
The sixty-eighth time failed!
Who could bear this!
Failures continued!
[You practiced Energy Absorption Cultivation for eighty-one thousand five hundred years, using your great achievement in Primordial Earth Immortal Skill to forcibly impact the Mystic Heart Realm, and began tribulation crossing. You did not survive the Cangyuan Five Spirits Heavenly Tribulation, tribulation crossing failed]
[You practiced Energy Absorption Cultivation for eighty-two thousand five hundred years, using your great achievement in Primordial Earth Immortal Skill to forcibly impact the Mystic Heart Realm, and began tribulation crossing. You survived the Cangyuan Five Spirits Heavenly Tribulation, tribulation crossing succeeded, and your cultivation level broke through to the first layer of the Mystic Heart Realm]
[You practiced Energy Absorption Cultivation for eighty-three thousand years, and your cultivation level broke through to the second layer of the Mystic Heart Realm]
[You practiced Energy Absorption Cultivation for eighty-four thousand years, and your cultivation level broke through to the third layer of the Mystic Heart Realm]
[You practiced Energy Absorption Cultivation for ninety-nine thousand years, using your great achievement in Primordial Earth Immortal Skill to forcibly impact the Mahayana Realm, and began tribulation crossing. You did not survive the Mystic Yellow Five Gods Heavenly Tribulation, tribulation crossing failed]
[You practiced Energy Absorption Cultivation for one hundred thousand years, and you are still preparing for tribulation crossing]
As the final prompt came, Gu An sighed in relief.
The ninth layer of the Mystic Heart Realm!
The next major realm was the Mahayana Realm!
Gu An marveled inwardly. As expected, breaking through minor realms was not difficult; the hardest part was tribulation crossing. It was so exaggerated that he hoped he would not face over a hundred or a thousand failures in the future.
The earth spirit energy once again surged towards Gu An. Compared to earlier, the commotion was not as great, as they were both ten thousand years of life span investments.
Gu An brought up the attribute panel, looking at the remaining six hundred eighty thousand years of life span. He hesitated, debating whether to break through another major realm or enhance his divine skills.
He had to elevate the Infinite Traceless Mystic Heaven Step and the Great Yin-Yang Transformation, which would help him escape and conceal his identity.
Besides these two, he also needed to improve two offensive skills.
Thinking this way, he felt his life span seemed a bit insufficient.
Should he invest less in offensive skills?
After all, he was not fighting beyond his realm. Moreover, the spells and ultimate skills he currently mastered were regarded as extremely profound sorcery within the Nine Dynasties Immortal Cultivation World.
Gu An, caught in his dilemma, began enhancing his cultivation level.
Abundant spiritual energy continued to pour into his body, causing his cultivation level to grow, his robes billowing violently as if about to burst at any moment.
