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 96
Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Breakthrough to the Eighth Floor of the Mahayana Realm!
When Gu An enjoyed the elevation of his Cultivation Level, the Spiritual Energy in the North Sea Mountain sank once again. This time, it caused a great storm, as if a tempest was imminent.
The demons, cultivators, and ghosts all hid themselves, waiting for the sinkage of Spiritual Energy to end.
They didn't know what was happening; they could only pray for the calamity to end soon.
In a certain valley, Li Xuandao had already begun Tribulation Crossing.
A mass of thunderclouds floated above the valley, not maintaining the same height as the thunderclouds in the sky, just a bit higher than the surrounding mountain peaks.
This tribulation cloud was accumulating heavenly power, with strands of lightning within the cloud roiling, faintly visible and strikingly alarming.
Li Xuandao was cultivating energy on the Array Platform, golden dragon shadows coiled around him, making his robe billow and sound with movement.
After a while.
Li Xuandao suddenly opened his eyes and looked up sharply, only to see a bolt of heavenly lightning suddenly striking down from the tribulation cloud.
Boom!
The outermost formation formed a screen of light to resist the bolt of heavenly lightning. Before the light screen dissipated, a second and third bolt of heavenly lightning struck down in quick succession, causing alternation between light and dark in the valley.
Li Xuandao raised his hand and a treasure sword appeared in his hand. Once the sword emerged, a dragon roar resounded, with strands of blood energy swirling around the blade, as if countless evil ghosts were roaring and wailing within.
He drove the treasure sword into the ground beside him, then closed his eyes, continuously casting Magic with both hands, and Spiritual Power flowed into the formations in all directions along the Array Platform.
Spirit Stones flew out from his Storage Bag one after another, densely packed, quickly covering the open spaces of the Array Platform.
With his eyes closed, he opened his mouth, and Spirit Pills flew out from the bottle, automatically entering his mouth, causing his momentum to rise rapidly.
Night winds rose, and rumbles of thunder could be faintly heard. From high above, this valley appeared so small, sitting within the vast darkness of the North Sea Mountain, like a faintly glowing star in the night sky.
Time flew by quickly.
After an ancient hour of accumulation, Gu An finally reached the First Layer of the Mystic Heart Realm and now began striving towards the Ninth Layer of the Mystic Heart Realm.
Upon reaching the Mystic Heart Realm, his heart underwent a transformation, glowing with golden light and coursing with golden blood. A rune even appeared on the surface of his heart, a mysterious mark of sorts.
Gu An enjoyed the Spiritual Energy pouring into his body while sensing the rune on his heart.
In the void, he gained some profound insights.
Primordial Divine Power!
The Mystic Heart Rune could give birth to his own Divine Skills, though the time and strength of their birth remained unknown.
The kind of Divine Skills that could be born depended on a cultivator's life's experiences and accumulated achievements, and everyone's resulting Divine Skills would differ.
Gu An was so immersed in this creation that he couldn't free himself. Through the Mystic Heart Rune, he developed new ideas for his various Daoist Sorceries and began organizing his cultivation achievements.
Meanwhile, his Cultivation Realm broke through continuously.
Second Layer of the Mystic Heart Realm!
Third Layer of the Mystic Heart Realm!
Fourth Layer of the Mystic Heart Realm!
Gu An suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the treetops.
In the night sky, a bolt of lightning appeared above the trees. It didn't descend from the sky but appeared out of thin air, lingering instead of disappearing instantly, twisting wantonly like a struggling long worm.
What was that?
Gu An frowned, feeling uneasy.
The bolt of lightning started to split, creating several more bolts. Then, suddenly, the space between the lightning tore apart, revealing a black crack.
A figure with disheveled hair leapt out, showing fair skin in the lightning's glare. Judging by the figure's build, it was a woman, draped in tattered cloth that barely covered her, implying her robes had been torn not long before.
Gu An sensed her aura, shocked, and immediately cast Life Span Detection.
[Lu Lingjun (Unification Realm, Ninth Layer): 1989/2750/3700]
A nearly two-thousand-year-old monster!
She was definitely the oldest person Gu An had ever seen!
Moreover, at the Ninth Layer of the Unification Realm, she could compete with Lv Baitian!
Who exactly was she?
Lu Lingjun hovered in the air, the black crack behind her began to contract and quickly disappeared, taking the lightning with it.
She took out a blue Daoist robe from her Storage Ring to cover her graceful body, followed by a belt to wrap around her waist.
Gu An didn't care about the offense of gender differences; he just wanted to know who this woman was.
Lu Lingjun's long hair flowed in the wind, revealing a delicate and perfect face, though her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were full of confusion.
One of her hair strands fell out and transformed into a white snake resting on her shoulder.
Gu An cast Life Span Detection again:
[White Spirit Demon Emperor (Unification Realm, Eighth Layer): 4678/6280/8300]
A Unification Realm demon pet?
Just who was this woman?
The White Spirit Demon Emperor flicked its tongue and spoke in a light, feminine voice, “Such rich Spiritual Energy, it seems we have successfully ascended. The legends were not fabricated!”
Ascend…ascend?
Gu An was stunned; the implications of these two words were huge.
Lu Lingjun furrowed her brows deeply and said softly, “When traversing earlier, the power of the heavenly thunder was truly terrifying; it almost destroyed me. I flew towards the weakest part of the thunder and ended up here. Judging by the richness of the Spiritual Energy, it is indeed more abundant than our mortal realm, but whether we have ascended successfully or not, we need to explore further.”
The White Spirit Demon Emperor looked into the distance and said, “The Spiritual Energy here is sinking; there is Unification Realm demon energy in the distance. It seems we have indeed ascended successfully. We roamed the mortal realm for two hundred years, traversing the ends of the earth, and there were very few in the Unification Realm, only five among the Human Race and only me among the Demon Clan. Only the legendary Great Heavenly Spirit Land might have such common encounters with the Unification Realm.”
Great Heavenly Spirit Land?
Hearing this, Gu An felt more curious.
It seemed these two beings came from a weaker realm than this one.
This world was vast and unknown to all. The Nine Dynasties were but a corner of this continent. What lay beyond the ocean was unknown, at least Gu An didn't think the Unification Realm was the pinnacle of this continent, let alone the true peak of this world's strength.
Immortals were merely legends, ethereal and elusive, but the Immortal Cultivation World here was immensely broad.
Apart from marveling at the vastness of the world, Gu An also felt relieved.
He initially thought a major power had descended upon the land of the Nine Dynasties, in which case, the Ninth Layer of the Mystic Heart Realm would have been inadequate.
These one human and one demon ascended without background; integrating into this world would likely take time.
Unaware of anyone below, Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Emperor spread their Divine Sense and, confirming no one was within five hundred miles, dared to converse so unguardedly.
They talked for a while, then flew south.
They believed the vitality of the Human Race was strongest in the south, while the north was filled with demon energy.
Oh no.
Hopefully they avoid the Supreme Sect.
Gu An silently prayed.
Based on their conversation, Gu An suspected their successful ascension was due to the benefits of the Life Span Barrier.
The Life Span Barrier could evade the Heavenly Tribulation, naturally weakening the heavenly thunder, which also explained why, after breaking through space, they descended right above Gu An.
Gu An was full of emotion.
To think there were still Ascenders in the world. Anyone who could break through from one world had to be formidable. With their methods, they'd likely continue to reign supreme.
Not okay!
The Ninth Layer of the Mystic Heart Realm was unstable!
Improving my Divine Skills could wait; reaching the Mahayana Realm came first!
Like Lu Lingjun and the White Spirit Demon Emperor, no matter how terrifying their methods, they couldn't reach the Mahayana Realm in just a hundred years, right?
Gu An directly pulled up the Attribute Panel.
Although his cultivation level enhancement wasn't complete, he was prepared to directly use his lifespan.
He would continue absorbing Spiritual Energy later.
The usual routine, break through with a hundred thousand years of lifespan, be generous!
[You poured a hundred thousand years of lifespan into your cultivation to accelerate the process of Qi Absorption Cultivation]
[You cultivated Qi Absorption for a thousand years. With the Great Accomplishment of Primordial Earth Immortal Skill, you forcefully challenged the Mahayana Realm and began Tribulation Crossing. You didn't endure the Five Gods' Heavenly Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, and your tribulation failed]
[You cultivated Qi Absorption for three thousand years. With the Great Accomplishment of Primordial Earth Immortal Skill, you forcefully challenged the Mahayana Realm and began Tribulation Crossing. You didn't endure the Five Gods' Heavenly Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, and your tribulation failed]
Failing to cross the tribulation every two thousand years made Gu An a bit nervous.
Even though lifespan consumed in simulated cultivation was more than real cultivation, it still indicated the difficulty of the Mahayana Realm.
Despite the Supreme Sect's thousands of years of history, the Book Collection Pavilion had no records of the Mahayana Realm!
Gu An was ready to invest another hundred thousand years of lifespan.
Anyway, the invested lifespan was merely a number, only meaningful when transformed into cultivation!
Failure!
Failure!
Failure!
The final results were as he expected, a hundred thousand years down the drain.
He scowled and invested another hundred thousand years!
The prompts kept appearing, and repeated failures numbed his heart, raising his blood pressure.
A Great Cultivator of the Ninth Layer of the Mystic Heart Realm shouldn't be so easily angered!
But Gu An couldn't contain his emotions.
Finally!
Seeing the word 'success,' Gu An let out a long breath and smiled.
[You cultivated Qi Absorption for eighty-seven thousand years. With the Great Accomplishment of Primordial Earth Immortal Skill, you forcefully challenged the Mahayana Realm and began Tribulation Crossing. You endured the Five Gods' Heavenly Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, successfully crossing the tribulation. Your cultivation level advanced to the First Layer of the Mahayana Realm]
[You cultivated Qi Absorption for eighty-eight thousand years. Your cultivation level advanced to the Second Layer of the Mahayana Realm]
[You cultivated Qi Absorption for ninety-two thousand years. Your cultivation level advanced to the Fifth Layer of the Mahayana Realm]
[You cultivated Qi Absorption for ninety-four thousand years. Your cultivation level advanced to the Sixth Layer of the Mahayana Realm]
[You cultivated Qi Absorption for ninety-six thousand years. Your cultivation level advanced to the Seventh Layer of the Mahayana Realm]
[You cultivated Qi Absorption for ninety-nine thousand years. Your cultivation level advanced to the Eighth Layer of the Mahayana Realm]
[You cultivated Qi Absorption for a hundred thousand years. Your cultivation level increased]
The Eighth Layer of the Mahayana Realm!
Twenty hundred thousand years of lifespan!
Gu An felt a bit frightened at the thought but was glad to have succeeded.
The consumption after successful tribulation was decent, indicating the improvement of Spirit Root and Cultivation Technique was effective. He remembered spending eighteen thousand years advancing from the First Layer to the Ninth Layer of the Unification Realm, requiring three thousand years per layer after the Fifth Layer.
Considering the Mahayana Realm cultivation would be even more challenging, the reduced time was proof enough that enhancing the Spirit Root and Cultivation Technique was beneficial, with effects that would continue in reality.
At this moment, Gu An regained his confidence.
Disregarding how powerful the strongest individuals on this continent might be or the vast scope of overseas areas, Gu An felt he could now dominate the land of the Nine Dynasties.
Lv Baitian, at the Ninth Layer of the Unification Realm, suppressed the Demon Path of the Taicang Dynasty, preventing invasions. The Taicang Dynasty was not the weakest among the Nine Dynasties. Even if there were stronger beings in other dynasties, they likely only reached the Mystic Heart Realm.
