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

Chapter 529 Breakthrough to the Perfection of the Hengtian Golden Immortal Realm
Gu An looked at the nine options in front of him and fell into thought.

These names all sound nice, but there are some places you shouldn't go to.

Could the War Spirit Holy Palace be related to the War Court?
You can't go to the Yellow Springs Deep Sea, because the Land of Reincarnation is also dangerous, especially the ghost immortals of the Nine Yin Divine Palace. If you encounter them, you'll be in trouble.

The Great Path is the cosmic space beyond the gates of existence, connecting different worlds; who knows what you might encounter there.

Gu An began to weigh the options. Judging from the names was indeed difficult, and even with his current cultivation level, he couldn't deduce the origins of these place names.

Clearly, these places do not belong to the Heavenly Spirit Great World; they are located outside the boundary gate.

Think about it.

Gu An decided to break through to the Ninth Heaven of the Celestial Realm. He made the decision immediately upon a thought.

[Teleportation to the Ninth Heaven of the Celestial Realm will consume 10,000,000,000 years of lifespan. Continue?]

Ten billion years?
Wouldn't it take 20 billion years to travel back and forth?

Gu An frowned. He had guessed that the lifespan breakthrough would be very costly, since it was a lifespan function that only unlocked after a lifespan of hundreds of billions of years, and its lifespan consumption would definitely be a lot. He just didn't expect it to reach this level.

But he must break through.

His remaining 80 billion years of lifespan should be enough for him to break through.

Now he can only hope that these breakthroughs are worthy of the many years of his lifespan he has spent.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu An chose to continue the teleportation.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, he felt an unstoppable force enveloping him. He didn't feel uncomfortable; instead, he had an indescribable, mysterious feeling.

His eyes closed involuntarily, and his senses ceased to function.

after awhile.

Gu An felt his feet touch the ground, and his senses returned to normal in an instant. He opened his eyes, and his pupils involuntarily dilated.

What came into his view was an endless sea of ​​clouds, the sky so blue and high that it made him feel how vast this world was, and being in it only made him feel infinite awe.

Gu An opened his mouth, his heart filled with shock.

Such rich spiritual energy!

The spiritual energy of the Great Dao here is more concentrated and purer than that of the universe outside the Heavenly Spirit Great World, without any impurities.

Gu An felt that he had made the right choice in spending those billions of years of his lifespan.

He immediately activated the Life Barrier to prevent any other powerful beings from passing by.

A lifespan breakthrough will send him to a safe place, but it doesn't mean that the place will remain safe.

Only after the lifespan barrier was activated did Gu An feel completely at ease.

When you arrive in an unknown place, you must be careful.

He did not immediately break through, but instead sat down to meditate. The sea of ​​clouds was magnificent, and he wanted to enjoy the scenery first.

The nine heavens, could it be that there are nine layers of sky?
As Gu An pondered this, he dispersed his divine sense and rapidly expanded it.

However, he discovered that this sea of ​​clouds was far larger than he had imagined. Most importantly, his divine sense could not descend, because the sea of ​​clouds beneath his feet was unfathomably deep, and some kind of great power in the depths of it isolated all divine sense.

He appears to be in the heavens, but in reality, he is at the very bottom.

After a long while, Gu An's divine sense was still unable to perceive the end of the sea of ​​clouds.

Could this sea of ​​clouds be even more vast than the universe from which it originated?
The moment this thought crossed Gu An's mind, he found it absurd and felt even more apprehensive about the Nine Heavens of Heaven.

What terrifying beings would be born in a place where the spiritual energy of the Great Dao is more concentrated and purer than the universe, and the space is more vast than the universe?

Gu An took a deep breath, trying hard not to think about these things.

He brought up his attribute panel.

Name: Gu An

Lifespan: 6, 815/90, 000, ​​000, 075

[Physical Constitution: Primordial Limitless Body]

[Cultivation Level: Perfected Innate Golden Immortal Realm]...

Nine hundred billion years of lifespan, then leave another hundred billion years for transmission, and leave fifty billion years for the lifespan barrier.

That's equivalent to using a lifespan of 75 billion years to break through.

It should work, right?
During his last breakthrough, Gu An needed to expend 50 million years of his lifespan to attempt another tribulation after each failed attempt.

Will we have to wait a hundred million years this time?
If it's true that one tribulation occurs once every hundred million years of lifespan, then Gu An has seven hundred and fifty chances.

No problem!

It's just not good to make comprehensive improvements first.

Alright, let's widen the gap in cultivation level first. There's still a long way to go; we can improve our Dao techniques later.

No matter what choice Gu An makes, there will be advantages and disadvantages, but overall, he has been in a stable rhythm of becoming stronger, which is a good direction.

Gu An looked at his cultivation level and directly invested 10 billion years of his lifespan.

A series of prompts quickly popped up and appeared before his eyes:

[You cultivated your inner energy for a hundred million years. With your profound understanding of the Great Dao, the Great Freedom and the Wish-Fulfilling Scripture, you forcibly attempted to break into the Hengtian Golden Immortal Realm and began your tribulation. However, you failed to survive the Great Heavenly Tribulation of the Three Flowers of the Heavenly Dao and the Void Extinction.]

[You cultivated your inner energy for two hundred million years. You forcefully attempted to break through to the Hengtian Golden Immortal realm using the Great Dao Freedom and Wish-Fulfilling Scripture, and began your tribulation. However, you failed to survive the Heavenly Tribulation of the Three Flowers of Heavenly Dao and the Void Extinction.]

……

Hengtian Golden Immortal!

As expected, it's a tribulation that happens only once every hundred million years!
Gu An adjusted his mindset and began to look forward to seeing just how powerful Hengtian Golden Immortal would be.

Despite receiving all the final prompts, the tribulation was still not successfully overcome.

Invest another 10 billion!
Gu An stared at the prompt with a blank expression.

After failing, keep trying!

A lifespan of 10 billion years!
Another 10 billion years of lifespan!
Finally, the prompt in front of Gu An changed.

[You have cultivated for 5.6 billion years, and with the Great Dao of Freedom and Wishful Thinking, you forcefully attempted to break through to the Hengtian Golden Immortal Realm, beginning your tribulation. You survived the Heavenly Tribulation of the Three Flowers of Heavenly Dao and successfully transcended the tribulation, your cultivation breaking through to the early stage of the Hengtian Golden Immortal Realm.]

[You have cultivated your Qi for 10 billion years, and your cultivation level has increased.]

Breakthrough achieved!

Gu An let out a long breath. No matter how many years of his lifespan he had to sacrifice, as long as he could successfully break through, it would be worth it.

He didn't stop, but chose to continue dedicating his life to it.

He was promoted to the peak of the Hengtian Golden Immortal Realm in one go!

In the end, he still had more than 28 billion years of lifespan left. He left 10 billion years of lifespan to be transmitted back, and it was impossible for the lifespan barrier to squeeze out the remaining 18 billion years of lifespan.

Gu An's mood brightened, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

A vast amount of spiritual energy from the Great Dao surged into his body. As before, the way the Lifespan Barrier extracted spiritual energy and rules from the Great Dao was unpredictable, making it impossible for outsiders to determine the source.

The sea of ​​clouds in Gu An's field of vision began to churn, becoming increasingly magnificent.

As the spiritual energy of the Great Dao entered his body, Gu An felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. His physical body was being cleansed from the outside in.

He gradually closed his eyes, immersed in this ultimate pleasure, unable to extricate himself.

The boundless sea of ​​clouds churned more and more violently, its waves vast and magnificent, yet no living creatures flitted by; this world seemed to consist only of the sea of ​​clouds.

The insights into the Hengtian Golden Immortal Realm also began to emerge deep within Gu An's mind.

His Golden Immortal Dao Fruit also underwent changes.

Within the Lifespan Barrier, Gu An emitted a powerful seven-colored light, barely revealing his form. The spiritual energy of the Great Dao surrounded him like dragons, with faint wisps of light visible—the flow of the Great Dao's rules.

for a long time.

Suddenly, the sea of ​​clouds on the horizon rose up, like a giant wave about to sweep across the sky, or like some enormous creature about to burst out, inspiring awe and fear.
