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

Chapter 272 Primordial Causal Body, Chaotic Primordial Sacred Art
Hearing Ji Xiaoyu's words, Gu An was stunned for a moment, then asked, "You went back just for this thing?"

Do you want to see my soul?
Do you think I'm a monster?
Gu An felt something was off and didn't know how to evaluate Ji Xiaoyu's thoughts.

Ji Xiaoyu seemed to understand his gaze, and she explained, "Of course, it's not just this ability. It's just that if a cultivator can peer into their own soul, they might increase their comprehension."

"I don't believe it, so I won't try," Gu An said, waving his hand.

Ji Xiaoyu leaned closer and whispered, "Try it, it won't hurt."

"I'm not afraid of pain, but I feel offended that you're asking me to look at my own soul. You don't think I'm a monster, do you?"

"How could that be? Even if you were a demon, it wouldn't matter, after all, it's too..."

"You're still saying no?"

Gu An pretended to be angry and stormed off.

Although he didn't know the origin of that treasure, Gu An decided to stay away as much as possible, just in case it revealed that his soul was not a mortal soul.

Of course, rationally speaking, there shouldn't be such a powerful treasure.

Ji Xiaoyu stood there, watching him leave, lost in thought.

After returning to his room, Gu An closed the door and then took out a strange book that he had just obtained from the outer city and began to read it.

Although Ji Xiaoyu in this life is stubborn, she is not the type to cause trouble. After being rejected by Gu An, she went back to her room to cultivate.

In the days that followed, Gu An avoided Ji Xiaoyu.

As autumn approached, Gu An returned from Tianya Valley, and his lifespan finally surpassed 30 million years today.

He walked through the mountains and forests, his divine sense extending to the ocean, locking onto the great rift in the sea.

Looking across the entire Great Rift of the Broken Sea, the number of cultivators and monsters gathered around it exceeds ten million, not to mention how many living beings have gathered at the bottom of the rift.

Gu An quickly decided where to enter the Great Rift of the Broken Sea.

As he lifted his right foot again, his entire aura suddenly changed, and he directly entered the special state of the Carefree Immortal.

He used the Boundless Free Step to quickly leap off the continent, and after a few steps, he entered the Great Crevice of the Broken Sea.

Upon entering the Great Rift of the Broken Sea, he felt as if he had entered an abyss. It was dark all around, and he could only hear the deafening crashing sound of the seawater falling from both sides.

During his descent, he encountered cultivators, demons, and strange, vengeful spirits flying out. Some brushed past him, while others passed directly through his body, and no one noticed his presence.

The Great Crack in the Sea was deeper than Gu An had anticipated, as if it led to another world.

After descending for tens of millions of miles, a dark blue light appeared below, shimmering and sparkling. He sensed a special aura, like some kind of power of the laws of heaven and earth.

As he passed through the layer of dim blue light, he clearly felt as if he had entered another world.

The atmosphere of this place felt familiar to him; he had the feeling of being inside the City of Gods.

There are many worlds here as well. He flew towards the world with the most abundant spiritual energy. That world was also the most vast, hundreds of times larger than the continent where the Tai Xuan Sect was located.

During the flight, Gu An saw many cultivators and monsters passing by, the lowest of whom were at least at the Immortal Realm.

Only by reaching the Fairy Realm can one freely traverse these worlds.

Beings with lower cultivation levels need to travel through teleportation arrays or spatial rifts between different worlds.

He also saw the figures of strange and vengeful ghosts, which wandered in the void, watching the living beings that came and went, ready to pounce at any moment.

Gu An didn't look around much. He took another step with his right foot and landed on a cliff.

The sky here is blood-red, covered with dark clouds, and the outline of the bright moon can be vaguely seen, and there is more than one.

Gu An sat down to meditate on the spot and directly activated the lifespan barrier.

The spiritual energy in this realm is incredibly abundant, even more so than in the Third Medicine Valley, which is filled with medicinal herbs. No wonder so many cultivators and demons risk their lives to venture in.

Gu An did not immediately break through, but instead admired the scenery in all directions.

The sky and earth are vast and desolate, with few flowers and grasses to be seen. In the distance, a tornado sweeps through the mountains, stirring up many wronged souls and causing them to wail and howl.

Desolate and bleak.

This was Gu An's feeling; it was hard to imagine what had happened to this place to end up in such a state.

If all things in heaven and earth were in a state of abundance, to what extent would the spiritual energy of this world reach?
Gu An withdrew his gaze and then brought up the attribute panel.

Name: Gu An

【Lifespan: 174/30004901】

[Physique: Mysterious Sacred Body]

[Cultivation Level: Ninth Level of the Carefree Immortal Realm]

……

Looking at his lifespan, Gu An smiled.

He rubbed his hands together, as if he were about to do something big.

He decided to improve his physical condition first, so he decided to invest one million years of lifespan to see the effect.

From his innate Dao body to his profound holy body, he spent 520,000 years of his lifespan. He didn't know if a million years of lifespan would be enough to transform his physique.

Dedicate your lifespan to it!

A series of prompts kept popping up, all saying that one's physical constitution was getting stronger.

Ultimately, he failed to advance after a million years.

Gu An felt a pang of heartache, so he changed his mind and decided to give it another try.

So he began to dedicate himself to building a lifespan of ten thousand years.

The continuous stream of notifications made his expression increasingly unnatural.

at last!

[You have comprehended the workings of heaven and earth for ten thousand years, you have obtained the true meaning of heaven and earth to temper your physical body, your innate bones have undergone a transformation, and your profound sacred body has advanced to the Primordial Causal Body] Boom—

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly surged into his body, and a sea of ​​spiritual energy mist appeared on the ground, which was beautiful and magnificent.

A smile appeared on Gu An's face.

It took 1.67 million years for him to break through his physical limitations!

Who can stand this!

Gu An began to hesitate, wondering whether he should improve his cultivation technique.

He feared that if he improved these two things, he wouldn't have enough lifespan left to break through to a higher realm.

As one's cultivation level increases, the difficulty of breaking through also increases. If Gu An's lifespan consumption for this breakthrough is the same as the last one, it already indicates that his strength is leaping forward. It is almost impossible to shorten the lifespan. One can only try to reduce the number of lifespans consumed by the breakthrough as much as possible, so as not to end up with the lifespan being several times greater.

The earth trembled continuously, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth sank, alarming countless strange and vengeful spirits.

On the other side of the world, Tian Wuchang, who was sitting cross-legged by the sea, suddenly stood up and looked around in a panic.

The beach beneath his feet trembled, causing the waves to surge, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to sink continuously, thus stirring up strong winds.

"Could it be him?" Tian Wuchang gritted his teeth and asked.

Although more than two months have passed, he has been living in constant fear, afraid that the person might come at any moment.

"The sinking of spiritual energy may be related to the upheaval of the rules of this world, but it has nothing to do with people."

A cold voice came from the stele. Upon hearing this, Tian Wuchang breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.

Tian Wuchang complained, "Lord of the Realm, when will you be able to recover your cultivation and take control of the order of the Divine Realm? More and more cultivators are breaking in, and sooner or later they will cause trouble."

The voice from the monument did not answer him.

After waiting for a while, Tian Wuchang could only close his eyes and continue practicing.

……

On the cliff, within the barrier of lifespan.

Gu An endured the pain of his physical transformation while struggling with his dilemma.

It took the Five Elements Daoist Technique 700,000 years of lifespan to transform into the Heaven and Earth Primordial Technique.

Another upgrade would likely require at least two million years of lifespan!
Fight!

He should improve his skills, after all, he has already passed on the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Innate Skill to Yang Jian and An Hao.

A master must hold back some skills; how can he practice the same level of techniques as his disciple?
Gu An directly invested one million years of his lifespan!
As he expected, he did not get promoted.

Give up another million years of lifespan!
failure!

A lifespan of 500,000 years!

failure!

Two hundred thousand years of lifespan!

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Skill was successfully upgraded to the Chaos Primordial Saint Skill, but the skill level only reached a slight success.

A lifespan of 2.7 million years!

Gu An felt a pang of heartache. Not only that, the life-sustaining barrier was also consuming lifespan very quickly, having consumed thousands of years of lifespan in just a short time.

If he didn't have a lifespan of a million years, Gu An feared he would be worn down by the lifespan barrier, or he would have to close the lifespan barrier before the breakthrough was over, thus exposing himself.

Gu An originally wanted to improve the Myriad Forms Qi Technique, which was the key method for him to hide his cultivation level, and it was also a method of body cultivation.

It seems that we have no choice but to put it on hold now.

After his cultivation breakthrough, he will save up five million years of lifespan to enhance the Myriad Forms Qi Technique.

Gu An pondered silently, but the cultivation technique memories did not flood into his mind. It seemed that the Primordial Causal Body contained profound memories that needed to be inherited before the cultivation technique memories could be accessed.

He waited patiently.

An hour later, his physique completely transformed into the Primordial Causal Body.

The Primordial Causal Body is extremely domineering, capable of isolating all causal forces, and can even use causal forces to destroy enemies.

Everything is subject to cause and effect. An enemy's techniques and supernatural abilities are all governed by cause and effect. He can discern the cause and effect of their techniques and supernatural abilities to find flaws. If his cultivation is strong enough, he can even directly destroy their cultivation.

The Primordial Causal Body will also give rise to the Primordial Divine Eye, which contains many mysteries that he needs to study over time.

Next is the inherited memory of the Chaos Primordial Sacred Art!
A continuous stream of earth energy flowed into Gu An's body. His consciousness had only been at ease for a few breaths when he was plunged back into a vast sea of ​​memories.

The Chaos Primordial Holy Art contains the attributes of the five elements, evolves into the Chaos Spirit Sea, and refines stronger magical power, the Primordial Magic Power!

Taiyuan magic power is a powerful and vast magic power!

With the enhancement of the cultivation technique, the speed at which spiritual energy is generated within the body is extremely fast, almost to the point of having an inexhaustible supply of magical power. Of course, this also requires that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the pills can keep up with the speed at which his magical power is consumed.

At the same time, this technique comes with a supernatural power called Taiyuan Capturing Heaven Hand!
The Taiyuan Heaven-Capturing Hand, as its name suggests, can capture the heavens in its grasp. It is both offensive and defensive, and also has a sealing effect!
Another hour passed, and Gu An slowly opened his eyes.

A fine golden line appeared between his brows, its surface shimmering with a golden iridescent light, making him appear ethereal.

Gu An raised his right hand, and the power of Taiyuan magic gathered in his palm, transforming his hand into the Taiyuan Capturing Heaven Hand.

It can capture the heavens, suppress the earth, and slaughter all living beings!

Gu An suppressed the urge to attack, dispelled the Taiyuan magic power in his hand, and then brought up the attribute panel again.

Seeing his lifespan rapidly decreasing, he suddenly became sober.

He patted his face with both hands, thinking to himself, "The most important part is yet to come!"

A breakthrough in cultivation!

To break through to the realm of the carefree Yuan Immortal!
