Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

Inside the cave, the last of the Daoist herbs slowly burned out.

Gu Changjin was still carefully sensing the changes within his body.

After a few breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes, his expression momentarily blank.

"No?! I've reached Mahayana level?!"

Gu Changjin looked down at himself and sensed himself carefully again.

The genuine early Mahayana teachings.

From the moment of perfect union, the ten paths converge into one, burning continuously.

His aura also improved from the early stage of tribulation, through the middle stage, the late stage, and the perfect stage, and then he entered the Mahayana stage.

Gu Changjin himself fell silent for a moment.

"Isn't this a bit too fast?"

He had originally thought that if the Ten Paths Returning to One Path could push him to the late stage of Tribulation Transcending, or even the Perfect Tribulation Transcending stage, that would be quite good.

In the end, he underestimated what he had brought back in this life.

Ultimately, his most precious gain this time was never the cultivation level of his own body.

Rather, it's about the understanding of realms, after all, he personally became the Heavenly Dao of a Middle Thousand World.

I have witnessed the workings of the Great Dao from the perspective of Heaven and Earth, and experienced countless rules from the perspective of the world.

After those things returned, they all became his own understanding.

Therefore, the so-called barriers to understanding are almost meaningless in the face of this level of enlightenment.

What Gu Changjin lacks now is not "comprehension", but enough energy and rule resources to boost his cultivation.

The principle of unifying the ten paths into one perfectly fills this gap.

"In other words... as long as we belong to one path, that's enough."

Gu Changjin narrowed his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

"Can I now even accumulate enough power to reach the True Immortal realm?"

Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at the Dao Fruit.

Unfortunately, those ten principles of returning to one were burned to ashes.

Gu Changjin felt somewhat regretful.

If another batch comes, maybe they can really experience what it means to become an immortal on the spot.

However, he shook his head as soon as the thought crossed his mind.

"Forget it, let's play it safe."

He certainly has a lot of trump cards up his sleeve now.

He possesses the strength of the early Mahayana stage, the power of the real world, and the power of an external immortal at the limit of True Immortal, along with the low-grade immortal artifact, the Taiyi Xuandu Sword.

There is also the bloodline of the Candle Dragon and a bunch of assets obtained from the True Immortals and the Xuandu Taiyi Sect.

But the higher Gu Changjin climbed, the clearer one thing became.

When you think you're invincible, it's often just because you haven't encountered an even older, more cunning bastard yet.

The main world even has the upper realm, and those true immortals who have been sleeping for countless years are waiting for the Golden Age and the Leap to Immortality.

Who knows what else is buried beneath this earth?

"The external immortal power can sweep away many people."

"But I myself still have to be strong."

A tool is just a tool; no matter how sophisticated its disguise, it cannot replace the original.

Gu Changjin re-analyzed the current situation.

The Dao Yuan of Guiyi is increasingly unable to keep up with the consumption.

In the past, even a few hundred or a few thousand strands of hair could significantly improve his condition.

Now that he has reached the Mahayana realm, simply returning to the Dao Yuan is no longer enough.

Unless the number is large enough to be reassembled into a single principle.

The problem is, how long would it take to slowly extract the essence from those suppressed, bizarre sources within the Blue Star Void Realm?

"We still have to continue with him and me."

Gu Changjin quickly made a decision.

Having experienced this firsthand experience of directly taking over the Middle Thousand Worlds, I am even more looking forward to his next move.

But before that... there are some things we need to figure out.

The Golden Age, the Immortal Leap Gate, the True Immortals who hid away and slept, and the Immortal Palace.

How could a true immortal from the upper realm know that the Immortal Leap Gate was about to appear?

Who sent the message?

What exactly is the connection between the main world and the so-called True Immortal Realm?

In the past, Gu Changjin's strength was insufficient, and knowing too much might not have been a good thing.

Now it's different. The original body is at the early stage of Mahayana, plus an external immortal body at the peak of True Immortal level.

They are at least qualified to knock on the doors of those truly powerful forces.

"The Celestial Palace..."

Gu Changjin thought of the Zhenyan Immortal Official Seal in his hand, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.

I was initially worried that I would be forced to work as soon as I went in.

Now, the situation is obviously different.

Just as he was pondering where to go next.

Boom!

A thunderclap suddenly sounded outside the cave.

Gu Changjin was stunned for a moment, and then another purple light flashed past from outside the array above his head.

Rumble!

Dark clouds loomed overhead, and an aura of heavenly tribulation so dense it was almost impenetrable enveloped the entire area.

Gu Changjin looked up for a while before he remembered.

"Oh, oh, oh, I haven't even passed my tribulation stage yet."

My cultivation progressed too quickly; the process on the other side of the world hasn't been completed yet.

He had already reached the Mahayana stage, but the tribulation of the Transcending Tribulation stage had only just begun to come knocking.

Gu Changjin stood up and patted his robes.

"Come on! Let's just go through the motions."

The next instant, snap!

A bolt of purple lightning pierced the heavens and earth, followed by a second, a third... The lightning showed no sign of stopping.

It was as if even the heavens and earth noticed that this guy's cultivation level had risen a bit too far, so they made up for all the things they had accumulated in one go.

Boom boom boom boom!

The vast sky completely transformed into a purple sea of ​​lightning.

The layers of concealment formations originally set up around the cave were no match for such a violent lightning tribulation, and they exploded one after another.

With the great formation broken and the mountain collapsing, the cave hidden deep beneath was finally exposed.

Gu Changjin stood quietly in the center of the sea of ​​lightning.

The streaks of purple lightning struck him, but only slightly soiled the hem of his clothes.

……

In the distance, hundreds of powerful alien warriors had already arrived.

The clan leader, with two horns on his head and dark golden wings on his back, stood at the front of the crowd, his eyes fixed on Lei Hai.

"Seventy-two..."

"Eighty-three..."

"Ninety-one..."

"Huh? It hasn't stopped yet?!"

The expression on the face of one of the clan elders beside him had completely changed.

"Clan leader, don't the ancient texts say that those who can summon ten bolts of purple tribulation lightning during their initial tribulation already possess the potential to become immortals?"

"That's almost a hundred questions already?!"

The tribal chief was also somewhat bewildered.

Yes! Is that right?

The Ten Paths are the foundation for becoming an immortal.

What are a hundred questions?

Ancestors of immortals?

But soon, his shock gradually turned into excitement.

The more lightning tribulations one experiences, the more terrifying the foundation of the one undergoing the tribulation.

The more terrifying one's foundation, the more valuable things one will naturally possess!

Most importantly, there are so many bombs.

What do you live on?

"Ninety-eight!"

"Ninety-nine!"

"one hundred!"

boom!

The hundredth bolt of purple lightning struck, completely engulfing the mountain in its light. Then, the aura vanished.

At least with their senses, they could not detect the aura of the one undergoing tribulation.

The alien clan leader exchanged a glance with several Nascent Soul stage experts beside him, their eyes lighting up simultaneously.

They're definitely dead!

"Walk!"

The alien chieftain didn't even wait for the thunderclouds to completely dissipate. With a flap of his wings, he was the first to rush into the valley, followed closely by hundreds of powerful members of his clan.

An incredible opportunity is right in front of us; anyone who hesitates is a fool!

A moment later, the group rushed into the valley, which had been scorched black by the lightning.

As soon as they landed, everyone stopped at once.

Amidst the charred, black rocks.

An elderly man with a sage-like demeanor stood among them, watching them with great interest.

Gu Changjin looked at the hundreds of alien races that suddenly rushed in, and then looked at the one at the very front who had reached the peak of the Integration Realm.

The two stared at each other in silence.

The excitement on the face of the alien chieftain gradually froze.

Only one thought remained in his mind.

No? A hundred bolts of tribulation lightning! How are you still alive?

Gu Changjin narrowed his eyes slightly. With his current level of cultivation, he didn't even need to search the soul.

With a gentle pinch of the fingertips, the cause and effect were already mostly understood.

Oh, so they were just waiting to pick up the corpse.

Gu Changjin immediately smiled.

"Gentlemen."

"Why did you rush into my cave so hastily..."

"What is this?"
