If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 170 Breakthrough to the Ninth Level of the Loose Immortal Realm!
As the notification of successful fusion appeared, a vast amount of memories surged into Gu An's mind, immersing his consciousness within them.

The earth's spiritual energy rose up, transforming the ground into a sea of ​​energy, and the five-colored spiritual energy enveloped his body like a whirlwind.

The spiritual energy of the entire island began to flow towards him, causing the mountains and forests to sway and startling all the creatures on the island, who fled in panic.

Gu An was immersed in his cultivation memories, forgetting everything else.

An hour later.

He slowly opened his eyes, and through the barrier of lifespan, he saw the forest shaking violently and thunderclouds rolling in the sky. It was as if he had suddenly gone from dawn to dusk.

He savored the profound mysteries of the Five Elements Taoist Technique, his heart filled with joy.

The Five Elements theory is indeed powerful!

The Five Elements can form Heaven and Earth. Although Heaven and Earth have more than just the Five Elements, the Five Elements are the most basic. The Five Elements give rise to Heaven and Earth, and Heaven and Earth give rise to more attributes and rules.

Through the evolution of lifespan, Gu An has mastered the Five Elements Daoist Technique, and the myriad wonders of the technique are difficult to explain in a short time.

He reopened the attribute panel and invested 500,000 years of his lifespan into evolving the Five Elements Treasure Body.

A barrage of notifications flashed before his eyes.

He smiled when he saw a notification.

[You have comprehended the essence of heaven and earth for 350,000 years, you have obtained the true meaning of heaven and earth to temper your physical body, your innate bones have transformed, and your Five Elements Treasure Body has been promoted to the Innate Dao Body.]

For the next 150,000 years, the focus was on strengthening the innate Dao body, but the innate Dao body did not experience any advancement.

As the earth's spiritual energy surged into Gu An's body once more, he decided to continue investing his lifespan, at least to allow his physique to undergo another transformation.

He has dedicated himself to this for ten thousand years.

Thirty-seven thousand years later, his innate Dao body successfully advanced to the Mysterious Sacred Body.

The earth's spiritual energy flowed into his body at an accelerated rate, plunging him into an incomparably wonderful state.

Just then, a powerful divine sense swept across the island!

Nirvana!
Gu An was secretly alarmed; as expected, there was a realm of immortality hidden overseas!

The continent he lived on was just a small corner of the world.

Gu An remained completely calm, knowing that with the lifespan barrier in place, the other party would have no way of detecting him.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, that divine consciousness disappeared.

However, in the time that followed, divine senses repeatedly swept across this sea area.

The life-sustaining barrier began to draw spiritual energy from even more distant seas, causing the sea surface to surge with towering waves, which were the sea monsters churning about.

It wasn't until noon that Gu An finally transformed into the Mysterious Sacred Body. The entire world had been completely renewed in his senses. He could not only feel more invisible and intangible power, but his physical body and blood energy had also been greatly enhanced.

He felt he could easily crush a Mahayana cultivator with just his own strength!

He opened his eyes and saw that the lifespan barrier alone had consumed nearly 200,000 years of his lifespan in just one morning.

Sensing an increasing number of divine senses sweeping across the sea, Gu An had no choice but to stop.

He had just sensed a divine consciousness that startled him, indicating that the other party's realm was likely the same as his, or even higher.

The ocean is indeed unfathomable!

He feared that continuing today would attract an even more terrifying old monster.

He decided to continue in a different location.

Gu An maintained his lifespan barrier while staring at his attribute panel, pondering what he should improve next.

The cultivation technique can be upgraded to another level, and one can choose between supernatural powers and ultimate skills. There is no need to upgrade too many combat methods at once.

The many supernatural powers, spells, and unique skills he possessed were already very advanced; each one was extremely rare in the world.

Gu An didn't leave the island until evening, quickly moving eastward.

He took five hundred steps in a row before stopping. This time, the island he stopped on was very small. There were no demons on the island, only creatures that had not yet developed intelligence.

Gu An activated the lifespan barrier, sat down, and brought up the attribute panel.

He dedicated 200,000 years of his lifespan to the Five Elements Daoist Technique.

However, this attempt did not advance his Five Elements Daoist Technique, so he invested another 200,000 years of his lifespan, but still failed.

With a determined heart, Gu An sacrificed 300,000 years of his lifespan, and the Five Elements Daoist Technique finally transformed, advancing to the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Innate Technique.

A state of consummate skill!

A total lifespan of 700,000 years!

At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Skill also awakens a supernatural power called Palm of Heaven and Earth, which can collect all things in the world into the palm of one's hand. How much one can collect depends on the level of one's magical power.

Gu An looked at his lifespan; he still had over 7.7 million years left, which was enough.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to surge wildly into his body, and his thoughts were also occupied by the inherited memories.

An hour later, he finally opened his eyes.

it's getting dark.

Before he could savor the Heaven and Earth Innate Skill, his gaze returned to the attribute panel.

Gu An must improve his Innate Perfection Skill, as this is the foundation of his existence and will prevent those at higher levels from gaining insight into his abilities.

I'll give you another 500,000 years of lifespan!

Unbeknownst to him, Gu An had become even more extravagant.

A barrage of prompts flashed before his eyes, and finally, the Innate Wish-Fulfilling Skill was upgraded to the Myriad Forms and Qi Technique!

The Myriad Forms and Qi Technique not only enhances the ability to conceal one's aura, but also allows one to alter one's aura to be consistent with all things. In other words, whenever Gu An encounters a monster, he can manifest his demonic aura, and when he encounters a demonic creature, he can manifest his demonic aura, and he will be impossible to see through.

At the same time, the Myriad Forms and Qi Technique awakens supernatural powers, enabling the Nine Transformations of Heaven and Earth! This is a transformation supernatural power with endless wonders!

The earth's spiritual energy had just dissipated when it began to surge towards Gu An again, and the ocean, spanning tens of thousands of miles, was once again engulfed in waves, its range rapidly expanding.

This time, not only did divine senses sweep across the island, but cultivators also flew overhead.

Gu An's arrival shattered the ocean's silence!
He couldn't care less about anything else!
Another hour later, Gu An opened his eyes and saw that he had less than 7.2 million years of life left. He suddenly felt that a lifespan of 10 million years was nothing special.

If I can't improve any more supernatural abilities, what if I still can't break through to the next level?
The higher the realm, the more lifespan is consumed, especially in the Immortal Realm. Even without any reference, Gu An could guess that breaking through to the Immortal Realm would take far more than a few decades or hundreds of years.

He patted his face and began to pray silently.

He invested one million years of his lifespan into his previous cultivation!
Because you restarted your cultivation technique, you began to comprehend the Primordial Chaos Technique from the Qi Refining Realm.

[After a year of Qi cultivation, your cultivation level has recovered to the Foundation Establishment Realm.]

[After three years of Qi cultivation, your cultivation level has recovered to the Core Formation stage.]

[After five years of Qi cultivation, your cultivation level has recovered to the Nascent Soul Realm.]

……

[After five hundred years of Qi cultivation, your cultivation level has recovered to the Mahayana Realm.]

……

[You cultivated your inner energy for five thousand years, and with your profound mastery of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Technique, you forcibly attempted to break through to the Scattered Immortal Realm and began your tribulation. However, you failed to survive the Five Profound Divine Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao.]

[You cultivated your inner energy for ten thousand years, and with your profound mastery of the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Innate Technique, you forcibly attempted to break through to the Scattered Immortal Realm and began your tribulation. However, you failed to survive the Five Profound Divine Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao.]

……

Upon seeing that he had to rebuild his cultivation, Gu An's expression instantly froze. Fortunately, he had only spent five thousand years attempting to break through to the second realm of immortality.

The combination of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Technique and the Mysterious Sacred Body is terrifying!
Keep in mind that lifespan evolution consumes more lifespan than actual cultivation!
The reason there are more is that more lifespan is needed to evolve the cultivation process and quickly convert spiritual energy into cultivation level. This process compresses time, which naturally results in additional lifespan consumption.

Gu An has boundless confidence in his current qualifications and background.

A tribulation that occurs once every five thousand years?
drizzle!
Failure, failure, failure...

A series of failure notifications appeared before Gu An's eyes, but he remained unmoved, knowing he still had plenty of life ahead of him.

His cultivation speed had improved, but overcoming tribulation was another matter entirely, and Gu An was already prepared to fail many times.

A million years of lifespan is enough for him to fail two hundred times!
Is it really necessary to be so unfriendly?

As Gu An watched, his face darkened.

What exactly are the Five Mysterious Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao?

How can this be so outrageous?

Gu An thought of the tribulation he had undergone before. He couldn't find any relevant records in the library. Others had various minor tribulations, but for him, every tribulation sounded terrifying.

He suspected it was related to his physical condition and the exercises he used.

Improving one's physique and cultivation techniques can accelerate the cultivation process, but it also increases the difficulty of overcoming tribulations.

Cultivating immortality is truly defying the heavens!

However, in the process of cultivation and evolution, he relied entirely on himself to overcome the tribulation without the help of external objects. It didn't matter if he failed. As long as he could break through, it would be worth spending any amount of his lifespan!

A million-year lifespan has been successfully wasted.

That's not quite right. At least his magical power transformed from the wood-attribute magical power of the Innate Earth Immortal Technique to the five-element magical power of the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Innate Technique.

That alone makes him several times stronger than before.

As Gu An comforted himself, the earth's spiritual energy surged into his body once more. This time, his thoughts were not affected, so he continued to dedicate his lifespan to evolutionary cultivation.

One million more years!
failure!

failure!

failure!

Gu An's expression turned serious as he began to imagine the scene of failing his tribulation, which would surely be extremely dangerous.

I've worked hard to evolve into who I am today.

[You have cultivated for 450,000 years, and with your profound mastery of the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Innate Technique, you forcefully attempted to break through to the Loose Immortal Realm and began your tribulation. You survived the Five Profound Divine Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao and successfully transcended the tribulation, breaking through to the first level of the Loose Immortal Realm.]

[You have cultivated your Qi for 453,000 years, and your cultivation has broken through to the second level of the Loose Immortal Realm.]

……

[You have cultivated your inner energy for 500,000 years, and your cultivation has broken through to the ninth level of the Loose Immortal Realm.]

[You cultivated your inner energy for 560,000 years, and with your profound mastery of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Technique, you forcibly attempted to break into the Immortal Realm and began your tribulation. However, you failed to survive the Yin-Yang Profound Yellow Five Emperors Tribulation.]

……

Another round of failures!

But when he saw that he had reached the ninth level of the Loose Immortal Realm, a smile spread across his face.

The cultivation difficulty of the Loose Immortal Realm is definitely higher than that of the Nirvana Realm, but Gu An's lifespan did not increase. You should know that it took him five thousand years of lifespan to go from the seventh to the eighth level of the Nirvana Realm.

It only took three thousand years of lifespan for him to go from the first to the second level of the Scattered Immortal Realm, which is enough to show the power of the Mysterious Sacred Body and the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Innate Technique!

However, the required lifespan still increases after reaching a higher level, which is normal and Gu An can accept.

Even after all the prompts ended, Gu An still couldn't survive that damned Yin-Yang Xuanhuang Five Emperors Tribulation!

Looking at his remaining five million years of lifespan, Gu An found it difficult to remain calm.

Gu An: I still have five million years left to live. Should I invest in my cultivation level, or in all aspects of my strength? QAQ
