Chapter 136 Breaking through the ninth level of Nirvana!
Gu An did not use his spiritual sense to investigate the Xuanxin realm cultivators in the library. The spiritual sense could not detect lifespans, and there was no point in using the spiritual sense. In case the other party had cultivated some extraordinary skills and could detect the prying of a higher realm, it would only cause trouble.
After returning all the way back to Xuan Valley, Gu An went upstairs and took out the map scroll and the book given by Xu Lu.
The name of this book is Records of the World, which records the general conditions of various places. In this book, one can find information about all the territories on the map.
Gu An looked carefully, looking for a suitable place to break through.
Judging from the map, the Nine Dynasties only occupy one-tenth of the continent's area. The outside is full of demons and monsters. The names of various mountains and rivers sound scary, such as the Demon Shadow Peak, Demon Bone Mountain Range, Human Head Ghost Forest, Falling Immortal River, etc.
After much thought, Gu An decided to go to the land of demons to break through.
A place where demons roam everywhere and the spiritual energy is majestic.
Moreover, since ancient times, there has been no maritime danger in the demon land.
This map is the best proof. After all, the Supreme Elder has traveled across the entire continent.
Until night fell, Gu An quietly set off, heading east and north.
Holding a map in his hand and taking the Wuji Zizai Step, he quickly moved through the night. Soon, he left the Taicang Dynasty.
In less than twenty steps, Gu An stepped out of the land of Nine Dynasties and entered the land of demons.
He felt that the demonic, evil and ghostly auras between heaven and earth had doubled, and evil figures were everywhere within the range of his spiritual awareness.
Looking up, the earth and mountains were shrouded in thick fog. The mountains looked like giant monsters, looming and terrifying.
Gu An felt the breath of living creatures, almost all of them were demons.
He could occasionally catch a glimpse of monks. In the dead of night, those monks were hiding and setting up formations to conceal themselves.
Half an hour later.
Gu An came to Tianhuang Mountain, a giant mountain that is tens of thousands of feet high and stretches for tens of thousands of miles. According to the records of Tianxiadilu, in ancient times, a phoenix descended on this mountain and gave birth to offspring, so it was called Tianhuang Mountain.
Tianhuang Mountain is occupied by monsters. When the author of Tianxia Dilu passed by this place, he was attacked by a monster as powerful as the fusion realm.
Perhaps the spiritual energy in Tianhuang Mountain is not the richest, but at least it is not a place that cannot be visited.
Gu An’s spiritual sense covered the entire Tianhuang Mountain and he sensed three great monsters in the fusion realm. The number of monsters exceeded one million, and the number of monsters that had not yet become spirits was countless.
There are so many monsters in this mountain alone, no wonder a demon disaster occurred.
Gu An landed in a forest halfway up the mountain. He meditated under a tree and directly opened the life barrier.
Following his gaze, the woods were sparse, the evil fog was swirling, and the weeds on the ground were blown by the night wind like waves, which was extremely terrifying.
Gu An looked at it for a while, retracted his gaze, and then called up the property panel.
Looking at his lifespan of 2.38 million years, Gu An felt a little distressed.
This time, who knows how many times we will fail in our breakthrough, and it will probably take several years of hard work.
But he has to be alive, and staying alive is the most important thing! First, let's take a 100,000-year lifespan to calm down!
Gu An's mind moved, and he immediately devoted his life to cultivation.
[You invest 100,000 years of your life into cultivation to evolve and practice]
[You have been cultivating Qi for four thousand years. You used your great attainments in Xiantian Divine Art to forcibly impact the Nirvana Realm and began to transcend the tribulation. However, you did not survive the Xiantian Five Elements Divine Thunder Tribulation and failed to transcend the tribulation.]
[You have been cultivating Qi for eight thousand years. You used your great attainments in Xiantian Divine Art to forcibly impact the Nirvana Realm and began to transcend the tribulation. However, you did not survive the Xiantian Five Elements Divine Thunder Tribulation and failed to transcend the tribulation.]
…
Wow! A tribulation once every four thousand years? No wonder the Nirvana Realm is the first level of the nine tribulations of the immortal path! Prompts popped up one after another, but Gu An's expression did not change at all.
One hundred thousand years of life wasted! Another hundred thousand years! Evolution and cultivation begin again! Gu An raised his eyebrows slightly.
All failed!
Continue for another 100,000 years! Gu An didn't believe it. As the third 100,000 years began, his expression gradually became ugly.
All failed!
Gu An's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he once again devoted himself to the fourth hundred thousand years.
The failure prompts one after another stimulated his mind. Fortunately, he succeeded this time. Seeing the success prompts, the haze in his heart was swept away and a smile broke out on his face.
[You have been cultivating Qi for 74,000 years. With your great attainments in Xiantian Divine Art, you forcibly impacted the Nirvana Realm and began to transcend the tribulation. You survived the Xiantian Five Elements Divine Thunder Tribulation and successfully transcended the tribulation. Your cultivation broke through to the first level of the Nirvana Realm.]
[You have been cultivating Qi for 77,000 years, and your cultivation has reached the second level of Nirvana]
[You have been cultivating Qi for 80,000 years, and your cultivation has been raised to the third level of Nirvana]
[You have been cultivating Qi for 83,000 years, and your cultivation has reached the fourth level of Nirvana]
…
[You have been cultivating Qi for 98,000 years, and your cultivation has reached the eighth level of Nirvana]
The eighth level of Nirvana! It took five thousand years of life to reach the eighth level from the seventh level of Nirvana. Gu An immediately invested another four thousand years of life and successfully reached the ninth level of Nirvana!
There was no way. Gu An was no longer used to seeing numbers other than nine appearing in the small realm.
After reaching the ninth level of Nirvana, he can now accumulate lifespan with peace of mind.
Boom! The spiritual energy of the earth surged up and penetrated into Gu An's body, shattering his robes in an instant. He raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to endure the violent spiritual energy tempering his body.
Unlike the previous breakthrough, this time, Gu An felt pain.
Nirvana is the transformation of body and soul, so it is understandable that there is some pain.
At the same time, memories of Nirvana flooded into his mind.
As Gu An began to devour the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the spiritual energy of the entire Tianhuang Mountain began to sink. This phenomenon was so strong and sudden that all the monsters were frightened.
The howling wind ravaged Tianhuang Mountain. Roaring and crying sounds rose and fell between heaven and earth, deafening and terrifying.
…
Beihai Mountains, late at night.
In the forest, dozens of Taixuan Sect disciples were sitting around a campfire. Zhen Qin turned her head to look at Xuanmiao Zhenren who was meditating under a tree not far away. She thought for a moment, then stood up and walked over.
"Senior, is it really not necessary to set up a formation?" Zhen Qin asked cautiously.
They were all disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall. While performing a mission at the border of the Taicang Dynasty, they were attacked by the evil cultivators of the Epiphyllum Sect. All of them were captured into a magical weapon and then taken all the way to the Beihai Mountains. Fortunately, they were rescued by Master Xuanmiao, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous.
Xuanmiao Zhenren closed his eyes and said calmly: "It's okay. If there are any demon cultivators from the Epiphyllum Sect attacking, we can just kill them."
After experiencing the incident with the Yellow Springs Fox Demon, he hated the Epiphyllum Sect immensely.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
He felt that the Yellow Springs Fox Demon came from the Epiphyllum Cult, otherwise why would it have taken the Epiphyllum poison before, and also told him that the Epiphyllum Cult was about to attack, obviously plotting against him.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Qin hesitated to speak.
Isn't this using them as bait? Although she was confused, she still held back.
With their cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is difficult for them to gain a foothold in the North Sea Mountains. They have to rely on the protection of Master Xuanmiao. Master Xuanmiao is not a member of the Taixuan Sect and has no obligation to protect them. At this time, she cannot offend him.
Zhen Qin turned around and returned to the place where she had been meditating before and continued meditating.
The other disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall began to whisper and discuss the Epiphyllum Sect.
The world is in chaos, and the disaster caused by the Epiphyllum Sect this time is far greater than before. They, the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall, feel the pressure and are afraid of dying in this disaster.
"Don't worry, this area is protected by the mountain gods. When I recover from my injuries, I will send you back to the Taicang Dynasty."
The voice of Xuanmiao Zhenren was heard, attracting all the disciples to look at him.
A male disciple asked curiously: "Mountain God? What mountain god?"
Xuanmiao Zhenren replied: "Of course it is the immortal god in the mountain. As for where it is, I will not tell you."
Everyone looked at each other, thinking that Master Xuanmiao was being weird, could it be that the injured part was his head?
Even Zhen Qin felt that Master Xuanmiao had something wrong with his brain.
For a moment, the forest fell into silence.
…
On Tianhuang Mountain, the forest shook like huge waves, the earth trembled slightly, the spiritual mist sank, and the demonic mist rose up. At first glance, it seemed as if there were dragon shadows tumbling everywhere, which was a spectacular sight.
Gu An sat naked in meditation under a tree. After an hour of meditation, he finally broke through to the Nirvana realm!
After reaching the state of Nirvana, spiritual power is transformed into magic power, and the soul is undergoing a transformation! Gu An's mysterious heart is already full of runes, and is about to hatch his own magical powers.
He already had an idea to create supernatural powers using his own skills.
The speed at which he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth did not slow down and continued. It would take some time for him to reach the ninth level of Nirvana.
He opened his eyes and frowned.
There is a monster flying towards the forest where he is, and it is currently a hundred miles away. If the monster does not change direction, it will most likely break into his life barrier.
"I hope God will protect you. If you break in, you will die even if we have no grudges against each other."
Gu An thought silently and then closed his eyes.
He doesn't like killing innocent people indiscriminately, including monsters. As long as they are born with intelligence, he always feels that he will accumulate injustice if he slaughters them at will.
However, if a living creature threatens him, he will not show mercy.
Time continues to pass.
Another hour passed.
Gu An's cultivation has reached the sixth level of Nirvana. The strong winds between heaven and earth began to weaken, not because the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy had slowed down, but because the spiritual energy of Tianhuang Mountain had been almost drained, and now the longevity barrier was drawing spiritual energy from more distant areas.
A few miles away.
On the hillside, a red figure is moving forward.
The evil fog in the sky dissipated, and the bright moon appeared. Under the moonlight, a woman in red was walking forward. Her hair was disheveled, her feet were bare, and she walked unsteadily, as if she was about to fall down at any time.
Her long hair was messy, with some strands stuck to her face by the blood, so one could only see that she had a pair of bright big eyes.
Her eyes were drooping and she looked very weak.
"I can't fall down... Let's go to the forest ahead to rest..."
The woman in red muttered to herself, her vision becoming blurry.
She staggered forward like this, and it took her half an hour to cover a distance of several miles. When she entered the woods, she fell directly into the grass and could not stand up again.
She was less than a hundred feet away from Gu An's life barrier.
