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

Chapter 657: Chapter 649: Breakthrough to Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal

[You invested 10 billion years of life span into cultivating the Immortal Emperor’s Eye]

[You have spent 1 billion years cultivating the Immortal Emperor’s Eye, and your understanding of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect has improved]

[You have spent 10 billion years cultivating the Immortal Emperor’s Eye, and your understanding of the Great Dao of Illusion and Reality has improved]

[You have spent 50 billion years cultivating the Immortal Emperor’s Eye, and the power of your Immortal Emperor’s Eye has grown stronger]

…

Notifications flashed before Gu An’s eyes, but a full 10 billion years of life span was not enough to transform the Immortal Emperor’s Eye.

Gu An was not surprised; after all, this was a formidable divine skill feared by the Celestial Court.

He continued to invest life span, still in increments of 10 billion years.

Failure!

Another 10 billion years!

Gu An had over 400 billion years of life span remaining, so 10 billion years was nothing to him.

Continuous failures, continuous investment.

When the invested life span exceeded 1,000 billion years, a subtle change appeared in Gu An’s eyes.

It wasn’t until the Immortal Emperor’s Eye advanced that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A total of 1,800 billion years of life span was consumed, and the Immortal Emperor’s Eye advanced to become the Absolute Void Eye.

An endless stream of memories poured into Gu An’s mind, causing him to close his eyes and immerse himself in them, as if the vast information of the Three Thousand Great Dao rushed into his mind, plunging even someone with a Perfection in the Miaozhen Daluo Immortal Realm into chaos.

The Absolute Void Eye not only can manipulate reality and illusion but can also create them, an almost omnipotent eye whose creations vanish when the user’s mana is exhausted.

In battle, it can turn an opponent’s divine skills, spells, and even mana into nothingness.

This is not only suppression against the weak, but even against those with higher cultivation levels, it exerts a certain degree of suppression.

The Great Dao phenomena caused by the Absolute Void Eye far exceed those from before, with the Endless Dao Mountain still ravaged by fierce winds, and silhouettes appearing consecutively on the distant Dao Mountain. Even a figure shrouded in gray mist appeared atop a nearby Dao Mountain, not revealing their true form.

This gray mist figure looked up at the dark celestial vault, seemingly searching for the source of the phenomenon, unaware that the source was right beside him on the neighboring Dao Mountain.

The two Dao Mountains were connected, but the distance between their peaks spanned tens of millions of miles—a distance insurmountable in a lifetime for mortals, but merely a step away for the gray mist figure.

Time passed quickly.

An hour later.

Gu An opened his eyes, his purple pupils transformed into gold and red, enhancing his oppressive presence.

His Absolute Void Eye focused first on the gray mist figure atop the distant mountain peak.

Even at such close range, Gu An could not perform life span detection on him, as if some force protected the cultivators in this world.

However, even without life span detection, Gu An could perceive the other’s cultivation level.

Late Stage of Celestial Creation Daluo Immortal Realm!

A Heaven-Opening Daluo Immortal can cultivate in the Endless Dao Mountain, prompting Gu An to suddenly harbor thoughts.

After the breakthrough, should I stay here and observe for a while?

First, accomplish the breakthrough and see how strong he becomes!

Gu An reopened his attribute panel. Aside from the consumption in life span evolution, the Life Span Barrier had also been continuously consuming life span, leaving him with more than 450 billion years of life span.

He began investing life span into his cultivation level.

[You cultivate the Qi Absorption for 2 billion years, and use the Great Achievement of the Myriad Dao Extinction Skill to forcefully impact the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal realm, beginning to cross the tribulation, but fail to survive the Infinite Celestial Void Great Tribulation, resulting in agtributio..]>

[You cultivate the Qi Absorption for 4 billion years, and use the Great Achievement of the Myriad Dao Extinction Skill to forcefully impact the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal realm, beginning to cross the tribulation, but fail to survive the Infinite Celestial Void Great Tribulation, resulting in agtributio..]–>

…

Why does it take 2 billion years just for one tribulation!?

And that’s even after I’ve improved my Daoist techniques and physique.

Gu An suddenly felt that it might be challenging to reach the Perfection Realm of the next Great Realm this time.

In any case, first achieve this so-called Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal!

A hundred billion years only resulted in five breakthroughs, and after the five breakthroughs failed, Gu An directly invested a thousand billion years of life span.

Notifications kept popping up, all indicating failure!

Fifty tribulations, all ending in failure!

Gu An continued to invest.

One thousand billion years followed by another thousand billion years!

Failure!

Failure!

Failure!

Gu An focused intensely, the Absolute Void Eye flashing with a terrifying gaze.

The Great Dao phenomenon of the Endless Dao Mountain began to weaken. The figures standing atop the mountain peaks disappeared consecutively, though some remained observing.

The gray mist figure on the nearby Dao Mountain did not vanish; he looked around, never settling his gaze on the Dao Mountain where Gu An stood.

Gu An no longer paid attention to him, focusing entirely on the notifications before him.

After failing with 10,000 billion years of life span, he realized the problem was significant.

Is it really this difficult to break through to Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal?

Or is the Infinite Celestial Void Great Tribulation more terrifying than he imagined?

As Gu An pondered, he continued to invest life span.

Yet, after throwing in a second 10,000 billion years of life span, there was still no sign of success.

He frowned slightly and persisted in investing more.

After a while.

He finally succeeded in breaking through!

[You cultivate the Qi Absorption for 58 billion years, and use the Great Achievement of the Myriad Dao Extinction Skill to forcefully impact the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal realm, beginning to cross the tribulation, surviving the Infinite Celestial Void Great Tribulation, and succeeding in crossing the tribulation. Your cultivation level breaks through to the Early Stage of the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal realm]

[You cultivate the Qi Absorption for 10 billion years, and your cultivation level increases]

As the notification fell, the Life Span Barrier activated again, far more majestic than before. The Dao Spiritual Qi engulfed Gu An, immersing him in the strong light of the Great Dao.

Just reaching the early stage cost Gu An 23,000 billion years of life span!

He dared not continue to break through, after all, he still needed to save life span for the Life Span Barrier.

First achieve the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal!

BOOM!

The dark celestial vault suddenly exploded with a thunderous sound, akin to a great dragon coiling in the heavens, larger than any mountain ridge between heaven and earth, alarming the cultivators practicing within the Dao Mountains.

In Gu An’s perception, the auras of more and more cultivators emerged, as if the night sky was illuminated and the stars appeared.

He was astounded.

Just how many powerful beings are hidden here?

Even the weakest aura belonged to a Heaven-Balancing Golden Immortal, with most being Taiqing Golden Immortals, and several auras caused his heart to palpitate.

They must be Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals!

Could this Endless Dao Mountain be some Holy Land for Enlightenment?

Gu An pondered, seeing that no one was paying attention to the Dao Mountain he resided on, sinking his consciousness into the inherited memories.

Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal, the pinnacle of the Daluo Dao Fruit, is the ultimate limit beings can reach. To become stronger, one cannot rely anymore on cultivation and enlightenment but must create and develop one’s Great Dao.

In a sense, Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal is the culmination of the Immortal Dao.

Beyond that, it’s not the Immortal Dao but the Great Dao!

Gu An’s Daluo Dao Fruit began imprinting Dao Extreme Patterns, with each pattern containing indelible mysteries.

As long as the Dao Extreme Patterns exist, the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal will not fall, and the Dao Extreme Patterns are not merely on the Dao Fruit but interwoven within the infinite realm of the Great Dao. Even if the Daluo Dao Fruit is destroyed, resurrection is possible, though with one less Dao Extreme Pattern upon revival.

There are a total of 49 Dao Extreme Patterns, meaning the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal can resurrect 49 times. Even if dissipated, they can be reborn.

A Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal with Dao Extreme Patterns is nearly an immortal existence. To annihilate a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal completely is exceedingly difficult; even if slain, they can revive. One can only imagine the despair faced against a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal.

Moreover, Gu An’s mana is also transforming, evolving toward the ultimate power of the Immortal Dao.

During this process, his Lifebound Great Divine Power, Longevity True Words, is undergoing a qualitative transformation.
