Gu ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Yan’s cultivation finally broke through to the Second Layer of the Golden Core.

During ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍these ten years, the entry 《Fortune-Blessed Immortal Lord》 still had not provided any particularly remarkable rewards, mostly giving various spiritual herb seeds.

He ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍casually scattered them into the cracks of rocks and patches of soil around the suspended cave dwelling.

If ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍they survived, they would add a bit of spiritual energy and vitality to this secluded place of cultivation.

If ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍not, he simply let them live or die on their own.

Given the current conditions, going with the flow was enough.

Half a month later, someone came to visit outside the cave dwelling.

“Junior Brother Gu, your Senior Sister has come to visit. May I see you?”

A clear and cheerful female voice, carrying a hint of laughter, drifted up from below the cliff.

Gu Yan slowly opened his eyes from meditation and replied, “Senior Sister, please come up and have a chat.”

As soon as his voice fell, a figure floated up lightly like a feather and landed steadily on the platform at the cave entrance.

The visitor was none other than Lin Wei.

Over the years, Gu Yan had remained in secluded cultivation, and she had not disturbed him.

Firstly, she did not wish to disrupt his peace. Secondly, she herself had been at a critical stage of breaking through to the peak of the Sixth Revolution.

Only recently had she successfully completed it and stabilized her realm, which was why she had come to reunite.

Lin Wei stepped into the cave and immediately saw Gu Yan standing quietly within.

Their gazes met.

Gu Yan’s appearance remained unchanged, his bearing transcendent.

Lin Wei, however, was no longer the young girl she once was.

Her youthful innocence had long faded.

Yet, due to her high position, profound cultivation, and nourishment from pills, her appearance remained radiant.

Only now, compared to the past, there was a bit more composure and authority between her brows.

“Junior Brother, we haven’t seen each other for decades. Have you missed your Senior Sister?”

“Of course I have.”

Gu Yan answered sincerely, though inwardly he felt a bit embarrassed.

For a cultivator like him, a single deep meditation session could make years pass like sand slipping through his fingers—there was hardly any sense of long separation.

But such words absolutely could not be spoken.

If Senior Sister took offense, he would not be able to handle it.

Hearing his answer, Lin Wei’s smile deepened.

Clearly, she was quite satisfied.

The next moment, she stepped forward again, her delicate hand lightly pushing him, pressing Gu Yan down…

……

Half a month later.

Leaning beside Gu Yan, Lin Wei spoke softly, “Junior Brother, although this cave dwelling is spacious, it is too simple and desolate inside—not even a proper bed.

Next time, shall Senior Sister have some disciples bring you daily necessities?

It can’t be that every time from now on, we’ll be like this—using the sky as a blanket and stone as a bed, right?”

Gu Yan pondered for a moment and shook his head. “No need to trouble Senior Sister. I am planning to open up a new cave dwelling myself.

This place is, after all, the former residence of an ancestor, and the environment is limited. Some spiritual plants I recently obtained are not convenient to cultivate here.”

Lin Wei raised her eyes at him. “A new cave dwelling? Where? You must tell Senior Sister, otherwise next time I want to find you, I’ll have to ask the Sect Master again.”

“Alright, I will definitely inform Senior Sister.” Gu Yan nodded.

After lingering for a while longer, Lin Wei finally got up, tidied herself slightly, and departed gracefully.

Gu Yan remained alone in the cave dwelling, contemplating quietly for several days. He stored his few belongings into the Sumeru Star Ring, then moved and headed toward the main hall of Cloud-Mist Peak.

Finding Sect Master Daoist Xuanchen, Gu Yan stated his intention directly:

“Sect Master, I wish to find another secluded place for cultivation and also to grow some herbs. I wonder if there is a suitable location within the sect?”

Hearing this, Daoist Xuanchen immediately smiled. “Since Elder Gu asks, there is naturally such a place. Please follow me.”

He led Gu Yan to a higher mountain behind Cloud-Mist Peak.

On this mountain was a natural cave dwelling. Outside the entrance was a rare flat open space.

The view was excellent, allowing one to overlook the majestic outlines of the three main peaks of the Taiyi Dao Sect—Pill Glow, Cloud-Mist, and Sword-Resting.

Beside the cave, a clear spring flowed down.

Stepping inside, the space was even more spacious than the previous one, with stone chambers neatly arranged.

Even more surprising—deep inside, there was a natural hot spring.

Gu Yan’s eyes lit up slightly as he inwardly praised: this was truly a dream cave dwelling!

He immediately thanked Daoist Xuanchen and, from his sleeve—actually from his storage ring—took out dozens of jade bottles he had prepared in advance, placing them on a nearby stone table.

“Thank you for your trouble, Sect Master. These pills were recently refined by me. They are quite beneficial for martial cultivation and also have effects of extending lifespan and nourishing vitality. They may help add to the sect’s foundation.”

Seeing this, Daoist Xuanchen was overjoyed!

He knew well the miraculous nature of Gu Yan’s pills. The sect had previously attempted to replicate them, but none had succeeded.

These pills might allow the sect to produce several more Sixth Revolution Martial Immortals!

He solemnly accepted them, his heart filled with emotion.

He recalled how, back at Myriad Beast Valley, he had once tried to invite this deeply hidden elder into the valley as if he himself were the superior one offering an opportunity.

At that time, Gu Yan had likely long disdained those so-called exotic beasts in the valley.

Suppressing his complicated feelings, Daoist Xuanchen took his leave.

Gu Yan then made another trip to Evergreen Market, purchasing a large quantity of herbs and various daily necessities.

After that, he went to find Lin Wei and informed her of the location of his new cave dwelling.

Hearing that it was another cave dwelling, Lin Wei could not help but smile. “Junior Brother, why are you so fond of cave dwellings? Could it be that in your past life you were a hermit cultivating in the mountains?”

Gu Yan smiled. “Cave dwellings are quiet and close to nature, which benefits my cultivation.

Rest assured, Senior Sister—this time I have purchased proper bedding and furnishings. It will definitely not be as crude as last time.”

……

Endless Sea, Radiant Sun Island.

Inside a deep and shadowy hall, nine figures sat cross-legged in the darkness.

They were all the rulers of the great clans of Radiant Sun Island. The weakest among them was at least at the mid-stage of the Sixth Revolution.

Xu Yishan was among them.

Seated at the head was a black-robed old man with his eyes closed in meditation.

His face was gaunt, yet an oppressive aura faintly emanated from his body, making everyone present feel stifled.

This person was the true mastermind behind Radiant Sun Island.

Xu Yishan’s breakthrough to the Seventh Revolution had been entirely due to his guidance and support.

At this moment, the secret discussion within the hall was about a full-scale invasion of Great Qian.

“The transoceanic warships have been fully constructed, enough to transport five hundred thousand elite troops. Resources from each island have also been allocated and gathered.”

A clan leader reported in a deep voice.

Xu Yishan said coldly, “Since preparations are complete, why not immediately send troops to Great Qian?”

“I, Xu, am willing to serve as the vanguard! I will first flatten the Taiyi Dao Sect!”

“I agree!” another clan leader immediately responded.

“The nearby major islands that are still observing have already stated that unless we first take down the Taiyi Dao Sect, they will never submit.”

“Exactly! If this sect is not eliminated, it will always remain a great threat.”

“In the past century, they have successively produced several Sixth Revolution Martial Immortals. If, while we attack Great Qian, they strike from the rear and coordinate with Great Qian, we will be caught between front and back!”

“I am willing to personally lead elite forces to break the Taiyi Dao Sect’s mountain gate first, then march straight to the imperial capital of Great Qian!”

The crowd voiced their stances one after another. Their core demand was astonishingly unanimous—Taiyi Dao Sect must be destroyed first.

Aside from Xu Yishan’s personal grudge, the others were driven more by deep apprehension.

They knew their own situations well—their Sixth Revolution mid-to-late stage cultivations had mostly been forcefully elevated through external methods.

Their foundations were unstable, and their combat power was compromised.

Facing a Taiyi Dao Sect of unknown depth that continuously produced Martial Immortals, they had no absolute confidence.

The hall was filled with killing intent as discussions grew heated.

Only the black-robed old man at the head remained indifferent.

His name was Li Wuya.

No one knew that within this aged body resided a soul from another world.

When he first arrived in this world, Li Wuya had been nothing more than an orphan in the demonic path, struggling to survive at the lowest level, his life as insignificant as an ant.

At that time, something called the 【Martial Dao Godhood System】 had bound itself to him.

What an overbearing and enticing name.

Godhood!

Who would not desire it?

However, the condition to activate the system was to overthrow the Great Qian Dynasty and become the emperor of a new dynasty.

But an orphan of the demonic path, barely surviving day to day, overthrowing a dynasty that had lasted for a thousand years?

In his eyes, this system instantly went from an overpowered cheat to useless trash.

Yet once the thought of becoming a god was planted, it could never be uprooted.

Since there was no system assistance in the early stage, he would rely on himself!

In his previous life, he had not been a good person. In this life, to achieve his goals, he was even more willing to use any means necessary.

He endured, schemed, plundered, and killed.

To rapidly increase his strength, he accepted all kinds of evil techniques and forbidden methods without hesitation.

He even used the blood essence of living people as nourishment.

In his eyes, the people of this world were no different from NPCs.

As long as it helped him reach the peak, no amount of sacrifice mattered.

After hundreds of years of struggle, he climbed out from a sea of blood, quietly came overseas, and rooted himself in Radiant Sun Island, secretly developing his forces and plotting his grand ambition.

With ruthlessness and cunning, he unified the various forces on the island.

He also pushed his martial cultivation to the terrifying peak of the Seventh Revolution.

Now, his forces were fully formed, and the transoceanic warships were ready. Everything seemed prepared.

Yet Li Wuya was by nature suspicious and cautious.

Especially toward the increasingly prominent Taiyi Dao Sect in recent decades, as well as the possibly hidden foundations of Great Qian—he still harbored a trace of fear.

Just as the killing intent in the hall grew thicker and all eyes turned toward him with burning anticipation—

Li Wuya slowly spoke:

“To attack Great Qian and destroy Taiyi is already decided.”

“However, to ensure absolute certainty…”

“I have decided to first attempt a breakthrough to the Eighth Revolution of the Martial Dao.”

Eighth Revolution!

This term struck like thunder in everyone’s minds!

Even Xu Yishan, filled with hatred, suddenly lifted his head, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.

The Eighth Revolution of the Martial Dao—that was a legendary realm, truly transcendent, touching the laws of heaven and earth!

They had thought their master’s peak Seventh Revolution cultivation was already the pinnacle of the world.

Yet… he had already touched the threshold of the Eighth Revolution!

It must be known—the Seventh Revolution was the tempering of spirit and will to the extreme, condensing a Martial Soul.

The Eighth Revolution Martial Saint required fusing the Martial Soul completely with the true essence within the three hundred sixty-five acupoints.

Within the body, one would open up an inner world unique to oneself.

At that point, every word and action could resonate with the power of heaven and earth.

To those of lower realms, it would form an almost law-like suppression. Lifespan could reach two thousand years.

However, this step was extremely dangerous. Failure could lightly result in damage to the Martial Soul and a drop in realm, or in severe cases, death and complete dissipation.

Xu Yishan took several deep breaths before tremblingly asking, “Master… how confident are you?”

Li Wuya’s gaze swept over the silent crowd and he said calmly:

“If I did not have absolute certainty, why would I have you expend so much effort to gather ten thousand boys of pure yin birth charts and ten thousand girls of pure yang birth charts?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone felt a chill seep into their bones.

They knew their master’s methods were ruthless and his techniques sinister, but hearing ten thousand children spoken of so casually as resources still made their scalps tingle.

This master truly regarded all living beings as mere grass.

“You will continue training the army, perfect the strategy of crossing the sea, and stockpile supplies.”

“This seclusion of mine will last as short as twenty to thirty years, or as long as sixty years.”

“When I emerge… it will be the day Great Qian falls!”

Everyone trembled and bowed in unison. “We obey your command, Master!”
