Chapter 301: Breaking through the ninth level of Daoxuxuan Fairyland!

Chapter 301 Breaking through the ninth level of Daoxuxuan Fairyland!

In the next hour, Gu An upgraded the

Chaos Primordial Saint Art

to the

Grand Infinity Creation Art

. Astonishingly, twenty million years of lifespan only advanced it by one level—but fortunately, it was to the Peak Perfection Realm.

At the same time, he awakened a divine ability: Infinite Clones!

Each of the five elemental spiritual energies could now manifest as a clone. While this ability wasn’t particularly powerful in combat, its strength lay in numbers—after all, five-element spiritual energy existed everywhere.

He kept going!

The

Myriad Forms Qi Technique

advanced to the

Chaotic Myriad Manifestations Free Technique

, then further to the

Dao Manifestation Divine Mind Art

!

Again, it cost twenty million years of lifespan. Though no new divine ability was awakened, the technique itself

was

a divine ability.

The

Dao Manifestation Divine Mind Art

, once mastered, freed him from all rules. With a single thought, he could suppress his cultivation level and aura, change his appearance—everything could be altered, and no one would be the wiser.

With this technique, Gu An no longer needed to pursue other transformation arts.

Of course, what he valued most was its ability to perfectly conceal cultivation and aura.

In the simulated cycles of reincarnation, Chu Lu had perished so quickly because he lacked this technique. Of course, blindly trusting Cheng Jialan was another reason.

By the time Gu An finished mastering the

Dao Manifestation Divine Mind Art

, another hour had passed.

Next up was the

Celestial Star-Suppressing Infinite Sword

, which he finally upgraded to the

Eternal Infinite Divine Sword

.

The

Infinite Free Step

finally evolved into the

Step Through the Ages

. This movement technique could even rewind time within a certain radius of where his feet touched, bringing the dead to life, and the living to nothingness.

Of course, it couldn’t grant immortality—it had limits, and was meant for combat.

The

Nine Extremes Yin-Yang Body

ultimately advanced into the

Extreme Dao Illusory Body

.

Gu An also upgraded

Soul Search

into the

Grand Soul Imprisoning Immortal Technique

, which cost five million years of lifespan.

The three supreme arts and divine abilities above each cost twenty million years of lifespan—sixty million total!

Including upgrades to physique and techniques, Gu An had already burned through 105 million years of lifespan!

And maintaining the

Lifespan Barrier

consumed a massive amount as well.

Even without a breakthrough, Gu An now felt

unmatched

in power.

Still—he had to play it safe.

He needed a breakthrough!

Gu An pulled up his status panel again, eyes fixed on the cultivation column.

At that moment, torrential rain poured over the entire ocean, with waves crashing and thundering endlessly. A Divine Sense from a

Free Soaring Immortal

was wildly sweeping the area.

Gu An paid it no mind. After all, this place was mostly full of wandering spirits and ghosts—beings rejected by the laws of heaven and earth. Life wasn’t easy for them.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to invest another five million years of lifespan.

He wasn’t sure if investing one hundred million years in advance could bridge the gap between the

Mystic Celestial Immortal

stage and higher realms.

【You cultivated by absorbing spiritual energy for 30,000 years. Using your mastery of the

Grand Infinity Creation Art

, you attempted to break through to the

Dao-Void Profound Immortal Realm

. You began your tribulation, but failed to survive the Sixfold Fate Illusion Tribulation—breakthrough failed.】

【You cultivated by absorbing spiritual energy for 60,000 years. Attempted breakthrough... Failed again.】

...

One tribulation every 30,000 years!

Gu An was overjoyed. Previously, attempting the

Mystic Celestial Immortal

realm took 60,000 years per attempt!

And then—an even greater surprise:

【You cultivated for 300,000 years. You began your tribulation, endured the Sixfold Fate Illusion Tribulation, and succeeded. Your cultivation broke through to the first level of the

Dao-Void Profound Immortal Realm

.】

【You cultivated for 500,000 years. Your cultivation rose to the second level of the

Dao-Void Profound Immortal Realm

.】

...

Only ten tribulations to succeed!

Fk yeah, I'm a monster!

Gu An was fired up. But as he read on, his smile slowly faded.

The time required for each level of the

Dao-Void Profound Immortal Realm

kept increasing.

【You cultivated for 4 million years. Reached the eighth level.】

【You cultivated for 4.7 million years. Reached the ninth level.】

【You cultivated for 5 million years. Attempted breakthrough to the

Divine Mind True Immortal Realm

. You failed the Heavenly Dao's Forty-Nine Illusory Tribulation—breakthrough failed.】

Still, reaching the ninth level of

Dao-Void Profound Immortal

in five million years—

not bad at all

.

But after that, it required 300,000 years per attempt. If he failed 100 times, that was 30 million years gone.

Fail 200 times? 60 million years.

That was nuts.

Was the

Divine Mind True Immortal Realm

that

intense?

The gap was too much.

Gu An didn’t dwell on it too long. After all, he’d never even heard of the

Dao-Void Profound Immortal

realm before, let alone something beyond it.

Heaven and earth’s spiritual energy surged into him again. The ocean’s energy suddenly sank violently, with the affected area expanding rapidly.

Uh-oh.

This commotion was a bit... too much.

Gu An was silently shocked. Was he about to trigger another catastrophe in the human world?

The spiritual energy required to go from

Mystic Celestial Immortal

stage to

Dao-Void Profound Immortal

, ninth level, was beyond anything Gu An had imagined. But the scale of this disturbance helped him judge the depth of the

Heavenly Great Realm

.

If his breakthrough affected the entire realm, it meant there were likely only a handful of

Dao-Void Profound Immortals

in all of

Heavenly Great Realm

.

Gu An absorbed his breakthrough fortune while observing the world.

The area affected by the energy drain kept growing. In less than the time it took to burn an incense stick, it had already surpassed the territory the

Grand Cold Demon Sect

had tried to wipe out—and it kept growing fast.

Time sped by.

An hour later, Gu An forcefully achieved the

Dao-Void Profound Immortal

realm.

No matter the realm, breakthroughs through evolution always happened within an hour.

The mysteries of this realm poured into his mind.

The

Dao-Void Profound Immortal Realm

allowed one to transcend universal laws, traveling across countless

Grand Worlds

.

These Grand Worlds were like the

Heavenly Great Realm

. Only at this level could one touch the barriers between universes. Of course, not all universes were easy to cross—some were stronger than others.

The power of a

Profound Immortal

could even grant sentience to all things.

At this stage, one had to start forming their Dao. The Dao was the culmination of cultivation—the manifestation of one’s will. It could be condensed into a Dao Aspect, used in battle to overwhelm all.

Gu An was utterly immersed in the fortune of this realm, unable to pull himself away.

Only when he reached the second level of the

Dao-Void Profound Immortal Realm

did his consciousness finally return.

He looked up. The universe no longer felt distant. His gaze and Divine Sense were now in perfect sync—he could even glimpse the edge of the cosmos.

There, he saw the

Extinction Domain

that Bai Ziya had spoken of—an utterly dark place exuding terrifying energy.

He dared not probe further.

Because inside, he sensed more than one presence that made even him wary.

Time passed again.

Gu An began sensing the approach of other cultivators. When he looked, he saw countless figures flying from the

Sanctuary

where the

Holy Court

resided—so many, it even surpassed the

Grand Cold Demon Sect

.

His breakthrough had alarmed the Holy Court!

No comparison—next to the Holy Court, the Grand Cold Demon Sect was a joke.

These incoming cultivators were all at least

Scattered Immortals

. Over five million, and still growing.

Five million Scattered Immortals—unbelievable!

He even sensed multiple

Mystic Celestial Immortals

and

Free Soaring Immortals

. Over ten Mystic Celestial Immortals, at least.

The Holy Court’s forces scattered across heaven and earth, protecting the various continents and islands.

The ocean surged with monstrous waves. The rapid sinking of spiritual energy shattered many continents.

Seeing the Holy Court move to protect the people, Gu An let out a sigh of relief—his opinion of them rose dramatically.

He didn’t want his breakthrough to cause mass death.

Seems the Holy Court’s support for the Grand Cold Demon Sect was just the

Holy King’s

personal decision.

If they became enemies in the future, regardless of personal grudges, based on what he saw today, Gu An would

not

wipe them all out.

Of course, if he could befriend the Holy Court, even better.

Cultivation didn’t always have to be about killing and fighting.

Sure, destroying the Grand Cold Demon Sect had its benefits—but it also brought danger. Look at this, the battle had barely ended and already

Mystic Celestial Immortals

popped up. He hadn’t even

heard

of that realm before!

What if he got too arrogant and someone stronger than a

Divine Mind True Immortal

showed up and slapped him to death?

Chu Lu’s story was a cautionary tale.

Of course, most of that was because he trusted the wrong person.

Gu An wanted to curse at him—“You murdered her whole family and still thought you could marry her?”

Sure, Chu Lu was a victim at first, but he should’ve stayed away from Cheng Jialan.

With the Holy Court stepping in, Gu An finally felt at ease.

He focused on enjoying the fortune of the

Dao-Void Profound Immortal

realm.

Now that he’d reached the ninth level of this realm, what could the

Holy King

behind the Grand Cold Demon Sect possibly do?

And if that Holy King was also

Dao-Void Profound Immortal

—then Gu An would risk everything for the next breakthrough!
