When I Achieved Sainthood, the Immortal Official Actually Called Me to Raise Horses!

Chapter 169: Breakthrough to the Ninth Level of the Scattered Immortal Stage!

As soon as the notification of a successful fusion appeared, an overwhelming flood of memories surged into Gu An’s mind, pulling his consciousness deep within.

The spiritual energy of the earth rose, transforming the ground into a sea of energy. Multicolored spiritual energy swirled around him like a violent whirlwind, while the entire island's spiritual essence rushed toward him. The mountains and forests trembled, alarming the island’s creatures, which fled in panic.

Gu An was fully immersed in the cultivation memories, oblivious to the outside world.

An hour later.

He slowly opened his eyes. Through the Lifespan Barrier, he saw the trees violently swaying, thunderclouds rolling overhead. It felt as if he had suddenly transitioned from morning to dusk.

Recollecting the profundity of the Five Elements Dao Method, joy filled his heart.

The Five Elements Method truly lived up to its reputation!

The Five Elements could create heaven and earth. Though heaven and earth did not belong strictly to the Five Elements, they were still fundamental—forming the basis for all things, evolving into various attributes and laws.

Through lifespan evolution, Gu An had already mastered the Five Elements Dao Method. The intricacies of the technique were so profound that even a long explanation wouldn’t do them justice.

He reopened his attribute panel and invested 500,000 years of lifespan into evolving his Five Elements Treasure Body.

One after another, notifications flooded his vision.

When he saw a particular notification, a smile appeared on his face.

[You have comprehended the natural laws of the world for 350,000 years. Your body has been tempered by the true essence of heaven and earth. Your bone structure has transformed, and your Five Elements Treasure Body has advanced to the Innate Dao Body.]

For the next 150,000 years, he focused on strengthening the Innate Dao Body, though it did not undergo another breakthrough.

As the earth’s spiritual energy surged into his body once more, Gu An decided to continue investing lifespan—determined to undergo another transformation.

He poured in 10,000 years at a time.

After 370,000 years, his Innate Dao Body finally evolved into the Mysterious Sacred Body!

The influx of earth’s spiritual energy intensified, sending Gu An into a euphoric state.

Just then, a powerful divine sense swept over the island!

Nirvana Stage!

Gu An was secretly startled—so there really were Immortal Dao cultivators hidden in the vast ocean!

The continent he lived on was merely a small corner of the world.

However, he remained unfazed. With the Lifespan Barrier protecting him, the intruder wouldn’t detect his presence.

A mere incense stick’s worth of time later, the divine sense disappeared.

Yet, more divine senses continued to sweep across the sea in the following hours.

As the Lifespan Barrier began drawing in spiritual energy from farther across the ocean, the sea’s surface erupted with towering waves—oceanic demons roiling beneath the tides. ꭆÄΝốᛒЕȘ

Not until noon did Gu An’s transformation into the Mysterious Sacred Body finally complete. His perception of the world had been entirely reshaped—he could now sense intangible forces, and his physical vitality had grown immensely.

With pure physical strength alone, he felt confident that he could crush a Grand Ascension cultivator with ease!

He opened his eyes and saw that, in just one morning, his Lifespan Barrier had consumed nearly 200,000 years of lifespan.

As more divine senses swept across the sea, Gu An had no choice but to stop.

Just moments ago, he had even sensed an aura that sent chills down his spine, meaning the owner’s cultivation might be on par with or even surpass his own.

The ocean truly was unfathomable!

He feared that if he continued here, he might attract an even more terrifying ancient being.

Time to change locations.

Keeping his Lifespan Barrier active, he studied his attribute panel, pondering his next step.

He could enhance his cultivation technique further or upgrade a divine ability or ultimate skill—but there was no need to improve too many combat techniques at once.

Each of his divine abilities, spells, and ultimate arts was already at an exceptionally high level—any one of them would be considered a peerless rarity in the world.

By dusk, Gu An finally left the island, swiftly heading east.

Using the Infinite Free Step, he traversed 500 steps before stopping on a small, uninhabited island—one devoid of demons, only inhabited by simple, unintelligent creatures.

Activating the Lifespan Barrier, he sat down and reopened his attribute panel.

He invested 200,000 years of lifespan into his Five Elements Dao Method.

No breakthrough.

He added another 200,000 years.

Still no breakthrough.

Gritting his teeth, he invested 300,000 more years—finally, his Five Elements Dao Method evolved into the Heaven and Earth Primordial Technique!

Mastery Level: Perfected!

Total cost: 700,000 years of lifespan!

Additionally, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Technique awakened a divine ability—Palm Universe!

[Palm Universe: Allows the user to store heaven and earth within their palm, the capacity determined by their magical power.]

Checking his remaining lifespan—7.7 million years, Gu An sighed in relief.

As the world’s spiritual energy frenziedly poured into his body, his consciousness was once again consumed by inheritance memories.

An hour later, he opened his eyes—night had fallen.

Without delay, he turned his focus back to his attribute panel.

The Innate Wishful Technique was his foundation, preventing high-level cultivators from peering into his secrets.

Another 500,000 years invested!

Unknowingly, Gu An’s actions had become bold and extravagant.

Notifications flooded his vision—until his Innate Wishful Technique advanced to the Universal Form Qi Technique!

[Universal Form Qi Technique: Not only does it enhance concealment, but it also allows the user to alter their aura to match their surroundings. If encountering demons, they can exude demonic energy; if facing devils, they can manifest devil qi—undetectable.]

Additionally, the Universal Form Qi Technique awakened another divine ability—Nine Transformations of Heaven and Earth!

[Nine Transformations of Heaven and Earth: A shape-shifting divine ability with limitless potential.]

Just as the surrounding spiritual energy settled, it surged once again, sending waves crashing across ten thousand miles of ocean.

As the storm raged on, Gu An’s expression darkened.

What the hell is this Heaven’s Five Profound Divine Tribulation?!

Why is it so ridiculous?!

Thinking back to his past tribulations, he had searched the Library Hall but found no records of them. While others faced minor tribulations, his were horrifyingly catastrophic.

He suspected it was related to his physique and cultivation method.

Although improving his physique and techniques accelerated his cultivation, it also increased the difficulty of tribulation breakthroughs.

Cultivation truly defied the natural order!

But since he relied solely on himself to transcend tribulations, without external aid, he had no regrets—as long as he could break through, any amount of lifespan was worth it!

1,000,000 years of lifespan—gone!

Not a complete waste, though—his spiritual energy had transcended wood affinity, fully transforming into Five Elements power under the Heaven and Earth Primordial Technique.

That alone made him several times stronger than before!

While comforting himself, spiritual energy surged again. This time, his mind remained clear, so he continued investing lifespan into cultivation.

Another 1,000,000 years!

Failure!

Failure!

Failure!

Gu An’s expression turned serious, mentally picturing the catastrophic scene of failing the tribulation.

[You cultivated for 450,000 years, forcefully attempting to break through the Scattered Immortal Stage. You endured the Heaven’s Five Profound Divine Tribulation, succeeded, and reached the First Level of the Scattered Immortal Stage.]

[…You cultivated for 500,000 years, reaching the Ninth Level of the Scattered Immortal Stage.]

[You attempted to ascend to the Wandering Immortal Stage but failed to withstand the Yin-Yang Five Emperors Tribulation.]

Yet, seeing himself reach Scattered Immortal Ninth Level, Gu An grinned with satisfaction.
