Chapter 42: Breaking through to the Void Crossing Realm, the Demon Monarch Attacks

Gu An did not continue to consume cultivation. He wanted to wait until he reached the first level of the Void Crossing Realm. He was afraid that the absorption of spiritual energy would take too long, and it would not end before dawn.

If the disciples found out that he was not in the valley, it would be troublesome.

As the notifications fell, Gu An could clearly feel that the spiritual energy in the earth was crazily surging up.

There was a loud boom!

Spiritual energy rose from the ground like a violent wave, blowing up his robes and messing up his black hair.

His body was not blown away, because the Spirit Qi had already entered his body, and it was like a chain that tied him to the ground.

This time, the absorption of spiritual energy was far more powerful than when he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm. The ground under Gu An's body was even shaking.

He secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he had the lifespan barrier. Otherwise, he would not be able to hide his cultivation.

However, he suddenly felt worried. Would such a movement affect the Supreme Mystery Sect?

After opening the lifespan barrier, the spiritual energy was not born in the void, but was extracted from the ground. The spiritual energy extracted was naturally the spiritual energy of the Supreme Mystery Sect.

Gu An had a new conjecture.

Could his cultivation speed during the evolution of his lifespan be related to the density of spiritual energy in the current environment?

He felt that it was very possible because he thought of Li Xuandao, who was at the eighth level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm at the age of 230. It was too unbelievable.

Thinking about it carefully, the gap between him and Li Xuandao was huge. If Li Xuandao also had a heavenly spirit root, his advantage was far from what Gu An could compare to.

As the emperor of a dynasty, Li Xuandao could have the highest level of cave abode and enjoy the best cultivation pills of a dynasty. His cultivation method must also be top-notch.

In addition, there were also formations, magic tools, and so on. Perhaps this was also the reason why Li Xuandao could succeed in the tribulation so quickly.

Previously, when Zuo Yijian was going through the tribulation, there were many cultivators watching. Others were fully prepared to go through the tribulation, but he endured it in the evolution of cultivation. In reality, if he died, he would die. There was no chance of repeating it once every 200 years.

If one compared the evolution of cultivation with Li Xuandao, Gu An seemed to be very weak, but it could not be compared like this.

In fact, Gu An was at the first level of the Void Crossing Realm at the age of 34!

Could Li Xuandao reach the Void Crossing Realm before the age of 300?

Was there a second person in this world who was like him, who was a hardworking cultivator, and even took on the heavenly tribulation head-on?

As Gu An thought of this, he felt much better. The lifespan invested in cultivation was ultimately just a number. Cultivation in reality was what mattered the most!

At the same time, he was wondering if he should cultivate a cultivation technique of other attributes, or find a cultivation technique of the five elements to cultivate. This way, he might be able to bring out the potential of the Five Elements Celestial Spiritual Root.

Rumble —

The sound of the earth's spiritual energy flowing into his body was getting louder and louder. A cyclone had formed in the enchantment, and the five-colored spiritual energy was about to drown his body.

…

Dark clouds surged and gradually covered the bright moon.

In a small pavilion in a mansion, an oil lamp was placed on the table. Zuo Yijian, with a head full of white hair, was sitting on a chair beside the table. He was holding a book in his hand, and the words "Investiture of the Gods" could be vaguely seen.

"Above, the golden light splits into five colors. Under the feet, the red lotus pursues ten thousand miles. The Eight Trigrams immortal robe is purple. The three treasured swords are called Green Duckweed …"

Zuo Yijian muttered, his face revealing a look of reminiscence.

He had been addicted to the Investiture of the Gods for several years. Reading the Investiture of the Gods over and over again always gave him a new harvest. Although there was no cultivation technique in this book, the immortal techniques described made him fascinated.

He felt that this book hid a moral principle, but he was unable to see through it for the time being.

At this moment, Zuo Yijian seemed to feel something. He suddenly turned over and looked at the ground.

The night was silent, and the cold wind was rustling.

The wind was getting louder.

The flame of the oil lamp on the table shook more and more violently, as if it would be extinguished at any time.

Not only him, but cultivators from all directions flew out of their respective mansions and courtyards. More and more outer sect disciples gathered in the sky above the city.

"What's going on? The spiritual energy is sinking! "

"You feel it too?"

"Could it be an invasion of demons?"

"It shouldn't be. This is the Supreme Mystery Sect. Who would dare to court death?"

"Could it be that there's a large underground array being activated?"

The outer sect disciples were talking. Ye Lan also flew out of her courtyard on her sword. She nervously looked at the outer sect street.

The night was dim, and a steady stream of cultivators flew into the air. Those who didn't know the Imperial Sword Technique gathered on the street, all of them frightened.

Everyone could feel the spiritual energy sinking into the ground. They had never encountered such a situation, so they were naturally panicked.

What made them most uneasy was that the spiritual energy was sinking faster and faster. The spiritual energy in the outer sect city was quickly thinning.

Spiritual energy was the most important thing for a sect. The foundation of a large sect contained spiritual energy.

…

In the mountain forest, Gu An had already stepped into the Spiritual Transformation Realm. The Nascent Soul in his body emerged and floated above his head.

The Nascent Soul Realm could condense a Nascent Soul, but usually the Nascent Soul couldn't leave the body. Once it left the body, it would be cut off from the body. Therefore, the Nascent Soul Realm could only leave the body when they were on the verge of death to find a new body to possess.

The Spiritual Transformation Realm allowed the Nascent Soul to transform into the Primordial Spirit. The Primordial Spirit was equivalent to a manifestation of the soul. The Primordial Spirit Projection was a special technique of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. The projection of the Primordial Spirit would not cut off the connection with the physical body. Below the Spiritual Transformation Realm, the Primordial Spirit could not be seen unless it appeared on its own.

When the Primordial Spirit was born from the Nascent Soul, the cultivator's Divine Sense would undergo a tremendous change.

Gu An was immersed in this transformation. His Nascent Soul gradually turned into a green lotus and then bloomed. His Primordial Spirit slowly stood up. It looked exactly the same as his original body. Even his clothes were revealed.

The Spiritual Transformation Realm was not the end. Gu An was still trying to break through to a higher realm. Moreover, he was absorbing more and more Spirit Qi. He noticed that the forest outside the boundary had also begun to tremble slightly.

This made him even more nervous.

The commotion was too great!

Gu An didn't dare to use his Primordial Spirit to fly out of the lifespan barrier for fear of encountering Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivators investigating this area.

The Supreme Mystery Sect definitely had Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivators. After all, some of the powerful elders in the outer sect could reach the Nascent Soul Realm, not to mention the inner sect and the sect's main city.

He even suspected that the Supreme Mystery Sect was hiding a Void Crossing Realm cultivator. Otherwise, why would Li Xuandao, who was at the eighth level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, hide his cultivation?

Time continued to pass.

Two hours later, Gu An's cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

Suddenly, two figures flashed across the night sky. When he saw the other party's true appearance with his naked eye, he immediately used his lifespan to check.

Good heavens!

Two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators!

Gu An became even more nervous. He could only pray that no one noticed this forest.

The lifespan barrier could prevent the outside world from seeing his figure, but he was afraid that someone would just happen to pass by.

After that, powerful cultivators constantly flew across the sky. The lowest cultivation level was at the Nascent Soul Realm.

Not long after, he saw the figures of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and there was more than one!

Gu An felt like he had pierced through the sky. The key was that he was trying to break through to the Void Crossing Realm and needed even more Spirit Qi.

This night was destined to not be peaceful.

It was not until dawn that the growth of Gu An's cultivation slowed down.

First level of the Void Crossing Realm!

After reaching the Void Crossing Realm, one's Primordial Spirit could gallop thousands of miles away. Whether it was Spirit Qi, Divine Sense, perception, or Qi and blood, they would all welcome a leap in strength.

Gu An slowly stood up. The sun cut through the sky and shone all the way into the lifespan barrier. When it fell on his body, it was as if he was wearing a layer of red clouds. He looked at the rising sun with a smile on his face.

The Spirit Qi in his body was incomparably huge, giving him a feeling of omnipotence.

He closed the lifespan barrier and walked towards the Profound Valley.

Just the lifespan barrier alone consumed nearly two thousand years. It was enough to see how big the commotion last night was.

With the end of his breakthrough, the world returned to normal, but the Spirit Qi in the forest was far less than yesterday.

Even Gu An, who was at the Void Crossing Realm, could not estimate how much Spirit Qi he had absorbed last night.

On the way back, Gu An saw another great cultivator flying across the sky. Since last night, he had seen seven Spiritual Transformation Realm great cultivators, which made him sigh with emotion at the depth of the Supreme Mystery Sect's foundation.

He quickly returned to the Profound Valley, then walked out of the pavilion and called the disciples to practice.

"Master, the Spirit Qi suddenly sank last night. Did you feel it?" Ye Yan asked. Speaking of this, he could not help but frown.

The other disciples spoke one after another. They also felt it. They were very worried, afraid that the Profound Valley would suddenly collapse.

Gu An smiled and said, "This is the Supreme Mystery Sect, the safest place in the Tai Cang Empire. How could it collapse?"

When the disciples heard this, the worry in their hearts dissipated a lot.

Wu Xin guessed, "It might be related to some kind of array. I guess there is a great cultivator in the sect who needs a huge amount of Spirit Qi to break through."

Obviously, he had encountered it in the Thousand Autumn Pavilion, but he could not say it out loud.

"Master, why do I feel that you are a little different today?" Zhen Qin stared at Gu An and asked curiously.

Gu An rolled his eyes at her and said unhappily, "You feel that I have changed every day and want me to teach you a leg technique. Be more direct."

The other disciples could not help but laugh, and Zhen Qin also smiled embarrassedly.

The training officially began. Gu An was also familiarizing himself with his new Spirit Qi during the training process.

After finishing, Gu An did not return to his room. Instead, he walked to the nearby forest.

This time, in order to break through, he squeezed out a lot of medicinal herbs. The harvest for the next two years would be affected. He could only open up wastelands and expand more areas.

Sigh.

A great cultivator of the Void Realm was planting flowers and grass for you. The Supreme Mystery Sect should be content!

Gu An thought happily in his heart. When he entered the forest, there were cultivators flying in the sky. This made the disciples in the valley feel at ease. At least the Supreme Mystery Sect was paying attention to this matter and would not ignore them.

Until noon, Ye Lan returned to the Profound Valley.

After chatting for a while, she got rid of the disciples and followed Gu An to the pavilion.

After closing the door, she went to close the window. Not only that, she also took out a talisman and stuck it on the door and window.

Gu An looked at her nervously and asked, "Junior Sister, what are you doing?"

What should I do?

Should I obey or not?

After doing all the isolation measures, Ye Lan came to the table and sat down. She poured tea for herself and said, "Senior Brother, something big has happened. It might be that the Demon Monarch is about to attack!"

Gu An was stunned. He sat down and asked curiously, "Who is the Demon Monarch? What sect is he from? "
