[Ding-dong!]

[Third disciple Liu Ruyan has successfully broken through to the Dao Realm. Congratulations, host, on completing the third stage of the task of nurturing Liu Ruyan.]

[Due to the host's task completion exceeding expectations, the task reward has been doubled.]

...

The moment Liu Ruyan turned and left, walking further and further away from Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Gu Xuan was leisurely lying in the rocking chair when a crisp and pleasant system notification sound suddenly rang in his mind!

His previously languid body jolted violently!

Especially when he heard that the mission reward had been doubled, he was so shocked that he jumped up from the rocking chair as if he had been electrocuted.

Gu Xuan rubbed his hands together excitedly.

A glimmer of expectation flickered in his eyes.

The system rewards this time must be very generous, right?

It might allow me to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm and reach a cultivation level above the Dao realm!

Liu Ruyan has now successfully broken through to the peak of the second stage of the Dao Realm.

However, Gu Xuan, her master, was still at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.

This is really hard to believe.

Despite his current strength, coupled with his heaven-defying Pangu Chaos Body, he could completely annihilate even a Heavenly Realm expert!

He possessed the cultivation level of a peak Immortal Emperor.

It does indeed not quite fit his image as a mentor.

After all, in the world of cultivation, a cultivator's cultivation level determines everything!

The next second.

The system notification continued to ring in Gu Xuan's mind!

[Ding-dong!]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the following: the General Outline of the Three Thousand Great Dao Techniques x1, the Complete Version of the Yin and Yang Origin Power x1, the Opportunity to Eradicate Cause and Effect x5, the Five Great Universe Origin Rules of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth x1, the Immortal Realm Breakthrough Card x1, the Supreme Cultivation Techniques: Tai Chi Free and Easy Classic and Misty Rain Technique, the Chaos Treasures: Thunder God's Arrow Bow, Pangu's Magic Axe, Purple Extreme Heavenly Net Tower, the Epochal Artifact: Gate of Eternal Life, and 100,000 Years of Pure Cultivation Foundation.]

........

After the rewards were distributed, an excited Gu Xuan was about to check them.

The system notification sounded once again!

[Host has received double the rewards for an extra mission. Congratulations, host, on obtaining the strongest founding rule: The stronger the opponent, the stronger you become!]

[Rule Explanation: If the enemy encountered is stronger than the host, the host's cultivation level will automatically increase by one major realm.]

........

The ultimate founding rule: The stronger the opponent, the stronger you become!

Dig a hole!

At this moment, Gu Xuan was shocked!

This is the strongest rule ever! It's absolutely amazing!

Compared to other rewards, they suddenly seem less appealing under these rules.

Without saying a word, Gu Xuan accepted it all!

In the very next moment.

His cultivation level was like a powder keg that had been ignited, suddenly exploding—

Explosive growth begins!

As everyone knows, the realm above the Immortal Emperor is the Five Great Dao Realms.

To break through to the Dao Realm, one must obtain a Dao Fruit and gain the approval of the Great Dao, and have the Great Dao runes imprinted on one's body.

But at this moment, this threshold was as fragile as paper in front of him, and was easily breached.

However, this is just the beginning.

His cultivation did not stagnate after breaking through to the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm; instead, it continued to gallop wildly like a runaway horse.

In the blink of an eye, he crossed the first hurdle of the Dao Realm—the Void Dao!

This level of attainment might be an insurmountable barrier for others.

But for Gu Xuan, it was as easy as strolling in a garden.

Immediately afterward, without stopping, he swiftly stepped into the second realm of the Dao Realm—the True Dao!

This advancement in his realm has raised his strength to a new level.

But his pace did not slow down as a result.

Logically, he broke through to the third realm of the Dao Realm—the Ancestral Dao!

This breakthrough made his aura even more unfathomable.

Subsequently, his cultivation level broke through one after another like a sudden storm.

The Fourth Realm of the Dao – The End of the Road!

The fifth realm of the Dao Realm—the Supreme Dao Realm!

Each breakthrough brought about a qualitative leap in his strength.

This was far from over; his cultivation seemed to have no end, continuing its rapid advancement.

Soon, Gu Xuan naturally broke through to the first level of transcendence!

This is a leap across a realm.

This has allowed his existence to transcend the realm of Dao cultivators and enter a completely new domain.

But his steps did not stop; he transcended the second realm...

His cultivation only slowed down slightly after reaching the Heavenly Realm.

Even so, his cultivation level continued to improve.

Let's keep striving for even higher levels!

He finally stopped completely when his cultivation reached the peak of the Origin True Ancestor realm.

Gu Xuan took a deep breath.

He could clearly feel the surging immortal power within his body, rushing through his meridians like roaring waves.

But the strength was far from enough.

Therefore, Gu Xuan did not hesitate at all and decisively used the Immortal Realm Breakthrough Card.

The moment he broke through the first of the six realms above the Origin Ancestor—the Immortal Realm—a brand new power surged into his body like a torrent.

This power was completely different from the original immortal power within him.

It seems to be some kind of mysterious energy from the depths of the universe, carrying endless mysteries and power.

This new power quickly merged with the immortal power within him.

Like two surging rivers converging, creating huge ripples of energy.

As these two forces merged, the vast immortal power within Gu Xuan's body, which was originally as boundless as the ocean, began to transform into immortal essence at an astonishing speed!

This transformation process is extremely rapid and thorough.

So much so that Gu Xuan didn't even feel the changes in his body before the transformation was completed.

The moment when all of this is transformed.

Gu Xuan suddenly felt an unprecedented connection between himself and the entire Xuanhuang Universe.

He seemed to be able to sense every corner of the universe and every subtle change!

He even felt that he had become a part of the Xuanhuang Universe.

Or rather, he has completely mastered the universe.

At this moment, Gu Xuan truly became the uncrowned king of the Xuanhuang Universe, the true master of this universe.

He can control the power of the universe at will and create his own world.

As this feeling arrives.

A brand new and extraordinary door to cultivation is slowly opening before him...

Gu Xuan knew what lay behind that door.

It's a brand new world of cultivation, waiting for him to explore and conquer!
