Chapter 300: Seven Gods Golden Body, Taichu Supreme Dao Body |
That mysterious Mystic Celestial Immortal wandered around the mortal region, never once stepping onto the continent where Gu An resided.
After a full day and night, he departed.
The very next day, news that the Grand Cold Demon Sect had been single-handedly wiped out by the Sword Sovereign of the Righteous Path swept across the ocean like a hurricane. Countless fleeing beings were shaken to their core upon hearing it. Their first reaction? Disbelief—because it sounded way too far-fetched!
The whole world was in an uproar. Within the Taixuan Sect, the place was decked out with lanterns and decorations, and everywhere people praised the immense might and heroic deeds of the Sword Sovereign of the Righteous Path.
This time, the range of people he saved was even greater—how could they not feel proud?
They didn’t know if there truly existed immortals or gods who cared about the common people. But at the very least, in their hearts, the Sword Sovereign of the Righteous Path was exactly that—an immortal who offered salvation to all.
On the second day after the Mystic Celestial Immortal left, Gu An quietly departed the continent.
He traveled south, distancing himself from the mortal region where the Taixuan Sect was located.
Eventually, he arrived at a desolate part of the ocean. Very few living beings were found here—whether beneath the waves or on the surface. Countless wandering spirits and ghosts drifted about. The skies above were blanketed with gloomy clouds, oppressive to the extreme, yet the spiritual energy here was incredibly rich.
He guessed there was a Free Soaring Immortal inside. Although the seal was strong, he didn’t think it’d be too difficult to break through.
No wonder the spiritual energy here was so dense while living beings were so scarce—there was a monstrous powerhouse hiding here.
Gu An landed on an uninhabited island and immediately activated his Lifespan Barrier.
Seven hundred ninety million years of lifespan—just looking at it made him feel amazing!
He had never been so loaded before!
Gu An sat cross-legged in front of a withered tree, gazing at his attribute panel with a silly grin on his face.
Let me enjoy this for a bit first!
After a good while, Gu An finally calmed down. He was ready to test out Reincarnation Cycle.
He decided to try it with ten million years. If this function didn’t pan out, he’d toss it aside permanently—just like the Lifespan Simulation he’d tried earlier.
【You have consumed 10,000,000 years of lifespan to activate one reincarnation evolution】
【Connecting to the Dao Rules】
【Searching for Reincarnation Realms】
【You have the following realm choices. Choose one:】
【1. Heavenly Great Realm】
【2. Dark Great Realm】
【3. Grand Multiverse】
Huh?
Heavenly Great Realm?
Gu An remembered that Reincarnation Evolution would bleed into reality. Could it affect more than just memory fusion? Could it influence the real world as well?
Not sure. Just in case, he decided not to choose the Heavenly Great Realm, to avoid any unintended consequences.
His eyes were drawn to the Dark Great Realm. The name itself seemed to perfectly match his Lifespan Seizure ability. Since it was an evolution simulation, maybe he’d still retain his cheat power in that world.
Alright, let’s go with that!
Dark Great Realm, here we go!
【You have chosen to reincarnate into the Dark Great Realm】
【Due to the Dao Rules of this realm being unable to conceal your innate talent, you will retain the ability to seize lifespan, but phase-based functions will be disabled】
【Reincarnation Evolution begins】
【Year 1: You are born in a village within the Eastern Profound Region. Your parents name you Chu Lu】
【Age 7: While in the mountains, you accidentally pluck a spirit herb and seize 8 years of lifespan—your fate shifts】
【Age 8: You become the disciple of a cultivator and begin traveling the world with him】
【Age 15: You’re ambushed by robbers. Your master dies protecting you. Fueled by hatred, you retreat into the mountains to hoard lifespan】
【Age 18: Through lifespan evolution, you reach the Nascent Soul Stage and begin your path of vengeance】
【Age 19: You infiltrate your enemy’s estate, killing all but one. The survivor is a young girl. Seeing her timid gaze, you're torn】
【Do you choose to kill her?】
The prompt ended there. Gu An was stunned. He chose not to kill. Please—he had the Lifespan Seizure ability. There was no way this little girl could hunt him down later.
【You spared the girl, Cheng Jialan, and returned to the path of cultivation】
Reading this made Gu An chuckle. This girl even had the character “Lan” in her name, just like his junior sister.
None of the earlier prompts had names—apparently only survivors got names.
Wait, his parents and master were alive at first too, but they didn’t get names.
He suddenly had a bad feeling. Did that mean Cheng Jialan would live a long time?
【Age 20: You join the Taiyi Sect, becoming a personal disciple thanks to your talent and cultivation. Your name spreads throughout the sect】
【Age 21: Using Lifespan Simulation, you master the Seven Heart Technique】
【Age 22: The sect leader’s son grows jealous. During a mission, he ambushes you with a group. You kill all but the son. He kneels and begs for mercy. You hesitate】
【Do you kill him?】
Kill!
Gu An didn’t hesitate at all. The prompts kept going.
Men—kill. Women—spare. This standard seems kinda messed up, doesn’t it?
He chuckled at himself.
From then on, his reincarnated self in the Taiyi Sect kept getting into fights. But he always killed in retaliation—it was others who provoked him first.
And the killing piled up until one day, everything unraveled. He became wanted by the sect, even labeled a fugitive.
From then on, it was endless killing—sometimes multiple times a year.
Once, he saved an injured stranger he encountered. That guy turned around and summoned a horde of cultivators to ambush him and snatch his magical artifact.
Gu An was furious. His urge to kill only grew.
Backstabbing, jealousy, betrayal—it never stopped.
D*mn, no wonder it’s called the Dark Great Realm. This world’s twisted as hell!
In the first 50 years, Gu An never met a single kind cultivator. He was fighting completely alone.
What pissed him off the most was that his enemies, to get back at him, captured his relatives in the village and turned them into spirit wraiths by ripping out their souls and bones to forge ghost tools.
That drove Gu An even further into madness. From then on, he chose to kill without hesitation.
His lifespan accumulation skyrocketed. By age 50, he’d reached the Scattered Immortal Stage and became a slaughter god in the Eastern Profound Region.
【Age 65: You meet the girl you once spared—Cheng Jialan. She’s now a disciple of the Blue Sky Holy Sect, a famous prodigy. She recognizes you and sincerely thanks you for sparing her life. Moved by her attitude…】
【Age 66: At her persistent pursuit, you become cultivation partners】
【Age 67: Cheng Jialan bears you a son and daughter. Your affection for her deepens】
【Age 68: While cultivating, a Free Soaring Immortal from the Blue Sky Holy Sect descends. He calls himself Black Profound Emperor. He crushes you to death instantly】
【Reincarnation ends】
What?
That’s it?
Gu An nearly spat blood. Ten million years of lifespan—for a life of sixty-eight years?
Black Profound Emperor…
Good. Very good.
Before he could think further, a torrent of memories flooded into Gu An’s mind—Chu Lu’s entire life, as if he had personally lived it.
But since it was just an evolution, it didn’t feel long—more like remembering past experiences. The sensation was strange, yet vivid.
Though he only lived 68 years in that life, Chu Lu developed a single cultivation technique to perfection—eventually transforming it into a divine ability that shocked the world, stirring heaven and earth.
The Seven Heart Technique, after over a dozen upgrades, became the Seven-God Golden Body!
The Seven-God Golden Body came with its own technique. Once mastered, it formed seven souls—each soul granted a divine ability. Even if killed, the remaining souls could resurrect the body.
According to his memories, the Black Profound Emperor didn’t kill him in one shot. He resurrected six times—only to die each time.
The cultivation gap was simply too huge. His divine techniques couldn't even let him escape.
After fully integrating the Seven-God Golden Body, Gu An felt a bit more at peace.
Was the divine ability worth ten million years of lifespan? Hard to say. But it definitely wasn’t something you could buy for a measly one or two million.
The technique was powerful—Chu Lu, even at the Scattered Immortal Stage, could seriously injure an opponent in the second layer of the Roving Immortal Stage. That said it all.
Sigh… Still not cautious enough.
Gu An realized that within Reincarnation Evolution, he could only make decisions at key moments. He couldn’t control his reincarnated self otherwise.
Thinking deeper—didn’t that mean each reincarnated life had its own consciousness?
Wasn’t that just like real-life reincarnation?
Look at Ji Xuanyu—this life and her past life were totally different.
He snapped back to the present and noticed the ground was full of spiritual energy. That meant Reincarnation Evolution consumed real-world spiritual energy too.
Good thing he changed locations. Otherwise, he might’ve affected the Taixuan Sect and the continent.
Time to get serious!
Today, let’s break through a major realm!
Gu An opened his attribute panel and poured 20 million years of lifespan into his physique.
The Primal Causal Body advanced to the Primal Primordial Body, and then again into the Primal Supreme Dao Body!
He awakened a powerful divine ability—Supreme Dao Primordial Disc!
This divine ability combined offense, defense, and sealing into one. It was even vaster than most worlds and could crush the very Laws of Heaven and Earth!
Gu An directly cultivated it to the mastery level.
A flood of spiritual energy surged into his mind, and he entered a state of enlightenment.
The Primal Supreme Dao Body and the Primal Causal Body may share the "Primal" name, but the difference was night and day. With the Supreme Dao Body, he could easily see through the laws and karma of heaven and earth—and completely suppress others with Primal-type physiques.
Though he hadn’t met another Primal Body yet, he figured it had to exist. After all, his body was upgraded from one—meaning that mortals in the Heavenly Great Realm, if their bloodline was traced back far enough, might be linked to the Primal Source.
He just didn’t know where the Primal Source actually was.
As Gu An devoured spiritual energy like crazy, the once silent and gloomy ocean erupted into a wild tempest. A powerful divine sense swept across the waters.
Too bad—no matter how hard it searched, it couldn’t find Gu An.
An hour later, Gu An finally opened his eyes. His body had fully transformed into the Primal Supreme Dao Body.
His strength had now reached terrifying levels—it felt incredible.
He even had the urge to find someone to test his power on.
Good thing he held himself back.
Can’t get cocky!
Chu Lu got way too cocky—kept killing nonstop, and ended up crushed to death by a cultivator several major realms above him…
Gu An’s gaze turned toward his technique panel.
Chaos Primordial Saint Art and Myriad Forms Qi Technique—both cost 20 million years of lifespan.
The only reason he didn’t spend more was because he had his eye on the function that unlocked at one billion years of lifespan.
