Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Gu An did not immediately establish the Life Span Dojo, but prepared to make a breakthrough first.

This time, he did not plan to enhance his Physique or Cultivation Technique, as he felt that his improvement in all areas was already significant. In these turbulent times, he could completely focus on pursuing an increase in Cultivation Level.

Once the new era arrived and everything returned to peace, he would use the long years to improve in all aspects.

Moreover, over the years, he had contemplated the Dao Rules, continuously making progress, which might compensate for some gaps in life span evolution.

Since his Life Span had reached ten billion years, it was time to set off!

Gu An disappeared into thin air from inside the house, stepping directly into the Reincarnation Vortex and heading to the Land of Reincarnation.

Because his avatar had explored many times, Gu An walked decisively without glancing left or right.

After passing through a dark area, he traversed a distance far beyond what a Mortal Spirit could imagine. Even a Free Immortal would need time and might not be able to cross the dense Reincarnation Rules.

Looking around, it was still darkness, without a glimmer of daylight, but the fog symbolizing the Yin and Yang Reincarnation appeared in front, indicating that Gu An had arrived at the Land of Reincarnation.

The Land of Reincarnation had no land; looking down was an Abyss, and looking up, there was no ceiling. There were no directions here, no vitality; anyone here would feel only endless solitude.

Even though Gu An's avatar had been here many times, he had never seen any other living beings. Fortunately, there was a special type of Spiritual Energy that could help him break through.

With Spiritual Energy, powerful beings would surely be nurtured, it's just that Gu An had not yet encountered any.

After a long time.

Gu An landed on a gray lotus flower, which was a hundred Zhang tall. Looking around, these gray lotus flowers of varying sizes occupied the dark space, emanating a faint glow.

These lotus flowers were not living things; rather, they were condensed from the Reincarnation Rules and their coverage was extremely wide, even comparable to the Silent Extinction Domain beyond the Celestial Spirit Great World.

Because the Lotus Sea was vast and boundless and had an even denser Reincarnation Spiritual Qi, Gu An chose this place for his breakthrough.

The moment he landed, he activated the Life Span Barrier.

Although he didn't feel any mighty presence, he remained vigilant, acting as if there was a powerful being lurking in the shadows; he couldn't expose himself.

Gu An sat cross-legged, pulling up his Attribute Panel and looking at his entire ten billion years of Life Span, his mood became pleasant.

The last time the breakthrough took twenty million years per Crossing the Tribulation; this time, even if it reached fifty million years per Crossing the Tribulation, he could break through two hundred times.

He hoped it wouldn't be that exaggerated!

Gu An adjusted his mentality and immediately invested ten billion years of Life Span into his Cultivation Level.

He was even more generous than before!

[You have practiced Qi Absorption Cultivation for fifty million years. You forcefully strike at the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit Realm with the Great Achievement of the Great Dao Great Freedom As You Wish Bible and begin Crossing the Tribulation. You did not endure the Reincarnation Top Dao Ultimate Tribulation, Crossing the Tribulation failed.]

[You have practiced Qi Absorption Cultivation for one hundred million years. You forcefully strike at the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit Realm with the Great Dao Great Freedom As You Wish Bible and begin Crossing the Tribulation. You did not endure the Reincarnation Top Dao Ultimate Tribulation, Crossing the Tribulation failed.]

...

It really is fifty million years per Crossing the Tribulation!

Although Gu An had mentally prepared himself, seeing such a great consumption made his heart sink.

One prompt after another fell; the ten billion years of Life Span rapidly depleted.

All failed!

Gu An continued to invest Life Span.

Since he had not achieved success in his breakthrough, the Life Span numbers consumed by the Life Span Barrier grew very slowly. Outside the Barrier, the void remained silent.

The gray lotus flowers were so mysterious and eerie, like countless souls floating there.

After a while.

Gu An saw that he had only thirty billion years of Life Span left and could not help but take a deep breath.

Something wasn't quite right!

Could it be that he was destined to fail this time?

Gu An didn't believe in bad luck; he planned to leave himself five billion years of Life Span. If he still couldn't break through by then, he would have to give up.

[You have practiced Qi Absorption Cultivation for fifty million years. You forcefully strike at the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit Realm with the Great Achievement of the Great Dao Great Freedom As You Wish Bible and begin Crossing the Tribulation. You endured the Reincarnation Top Dao Ultimate Tribulation, Crossing the Tribulation succeeded, your Dao Fruit transformed into the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, your Cultivation Level broke through to the Early Stage of the Innate Golden Immortal Realm.]

[You have practiced Qi Absorption Cultivation for one hundred million years, your Cultivation Level grows.]

[You have practiced Qi Absorption Cultivation for five hundred million years, your Cultivation Level breaks through to the Middle Stage of the Innate Golden Immortal Realm.]

[You have practiced Qi Absorption Cultivation for one billion years, your Cultivation Level breaks through to the Late Stage of the Innate Golden Immortal Realm.]

Innate Golden Immortal Realm!

Gu An's face revealed joy, as he had finally broken through successfully.

Continue to ascend!

The Life Span Barrier began to vibrate, and terrifying, vast Reincarnation Spiritual Qi surged towards Gu An. In an instant, the lotus sea outside began to sway.

Gu An used eight billion years of life span, and only then his Cultivation Level rose from the Late Stage of the Innate Golden Immortal Realm to Perfection.

He still had twelve billion years of life span left, enough for the Life Span Barrier to consume!

Billowing Reincarnation Spiritual Qi entered Gu An's body, and he also felt the Reincarnation Rules drilling into his being.

As more and more Reincarnation Rules accumulated inside him, numerous images of Reincarnation appeared before his eyes, all of which pertained to karmic connections he had with others.

He saw the Reincarnations of figures like Yang Jian, Xiaochuan, Lu Jiujia, and Ye Yan.

He also saw the past lives of Ye Lan and Ji Xiaoyu.

Too many images bombarded his vision, yet his expression remained unchanged, and it did not affect his Dao Heart; he even began to comprehend the Path of Reincarnation through this experience.

Countless gray lotuses swayed, as if the entire void was about to collapse, possessing a kind of chaotic beauty.

Far away, the Reincarnation mist churned more violently, as if unimaginable terrifying fierce beasts were about to devour everything.

Gu An suddenly sensed something and glanced towards the darkness.

"Indeed, there is a powerful presence. Is it a Living Spirit, or a lost soul? Or perhaps, does this place harbor a special existence beyond life and death?"

Gu An wondered to himself, sensing an aura not inferior to that of the Profound Yuan Free Immortal. And to think, this was only the beginning of his breakthrough.

Even more powerful entities might emerge later on!

He dared not completely immerse himself in the breakthrough, keeping part of his mind outside the Barrier, ready to move at a moment's notice.

...

Under the mysterious starry sky, before the Celestial Dao Golden Core.

The Yang Immortal Emperor was sitting in meditation, his back to the Celestial Dao Golden Core, with a mini sun floating behind him, burning with golden flames that made him appear akin to a sun god.

"The sun is the most perfect creation of the Heavenly Dao. Any place bathed by the sun is considered a blessed land favored by the Heavenly Dao, but there are also strong and weak suns,"

An Hao stood not far away, looking at the Celestial Dao Golden Core and musing.

The Yang Immortal Emperor did not open his eyes, but he asked, "How powerful is the sun the Heavenly Dao has blessed you with?"

An Hao replied, "I don't need the sun from the Heavenly Dao; I want to create my own sun."

The corners of the Yang Immortal Emperor's mouth curled up, and he no longer continued the conversation.

After a while.

The Yang Immortal Emperor suddenly felt something, his eyes snapped open suddenly, and even An Hao turned his head to look into the distance.

The starry sky showed ripples, as if a lake's surface was disturbed, making the entire cosmos seem so illusory, like the moon reflected in the water, ready to shatter at any moment.

"What is this anomaly?" An Hao asked with a frown, although he had experienced the Celestial Dao Reincarnation, he had never seen such a phenomenon in this space before.

This space consisted of the Power of the Heavenly Dao, independent of the Celestial Spirit Great World.

The Yang Immortal Emperor's brows also furrowed. Ever since he first entered this Secret Realm, five million years had passed, and he had never seen such an anomaly.

In his eyes, this Secret Realm was even the safest place in the world. Now seeing the distortion in the starry sky, he felt an inexplicable panic.

Could it be that an even more terrifying existence was about to arrive?

He began to calculate with his fingers, but even he, having reached the level of the Daoist Zang Zizai Immortal, could not discern anything.

Not only in this Secret Realm, but distortions also began to appear in the Celestial Vault in various places throughout the Celestial Spirit Great World. The Silent Extinction Domain in Outer Heaven was even more turbulent with Spirit Mist, oppressively dense.

More and more locations began to experience spatial anomalies, thereby affecting the entire universe.

Deep within the Silent Extinction Domain, seated on a throne, Ye Tianji opened his eyes. He looked up and saw visible spatial distortions in the dark void.

"Is this... disturbance in the Path of Reincarnation?"

Ye Tianji murmured to himself and looked in another direction.

That way lay the World Gate.

He saw beneath the World Gate a towering figure appearing, a powerful form gleaming with white light, as if representing supreme authority.

The Celestial Spirit God!
