He ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍sat cross-legged deep within his cave abode, immortal essence circulating around his body, his aura growing ever more stable.

At ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍this moment, while nurturing the immortal essence within his body, he simultaneously split his focus to sense the conditions of his two incarnations in the Spirit Realm.

As ‍​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍for that fellow Dragon Lord, he was still wandering through various Secret Realm Small Worlds, collecting heavenly treasures and earthly materials, living quite a fulfilling life.

As for Nether Soul…

He naturally knew about the trivial matters of the Azure Wave Sect.

He could also clearly see through Nether Soul’s little thoughts.

What “too lazy to relocate,” what “stretching his limbs.”

To put it plainly, he just wanted to show off.

Now that he had Human Immortal cultivation, and happened to encounter the Demonic Sect delivering themselves to his doorstep, how could he possibly miss such an opportunity to display his power before others?

Gu Yan shook his head.

He understood—he understood all too well.

Cultivating immortality—what was it for?

For longevity? For freedom? For transcendence?

All of them.

But what was it most for?

To show off.

It was those casual displays that left others dumbfounded, astonished as if witnessing a divine being.

It was those understated strikes at critical moments that left opponents’ souls scattered, dying with eyes wide open.

It was manifesting one’s power before the masses, being revered by thousands.

Even immortals had the desire to show off.

Or rather, immortals desired it even more.

When mortals showed off, at most they drew a few cheers.

But when immortals showed off, it could make the entire world tremble three times over.

Thinking of this, Gu Yan suddenly felt a bit emotional.

Come to think of it, it seemed he himself hadn’t shown off in quite a long time.

The phenomenon caused by planting the Nine Qi Returning to Origin Tree didn’t count.

True showing off should be like Nether Soul right now—

A powerful enemy pressing in, countless eyes watching, and then a reversal that slapped faces.

Tsk.

Gu Yan suddenly felt a bit envious of that incarnation of his.

But he quickly suppressed this stray thought.

Forget it. If Nether Soul wanted to show off, then let him.

Anyway, Dragon Lord gathering materials in the Spirit Realm was already enough. Giving Nether Soul a break didn’t matter.

After all, who didn’t have a bit of desire to show off?

Gu Yan withdrew his thoughts and immersed his mind within his body.

Now that he had reached the Human Immortal Realm, that cultivation technique had naturally unlocked new content.

Primordial Limitless Grand Five Elements Primordial Chaos Creation True Scripture.

From the Qi Refining stage until now, he had already mastered nine divine abilities.

Qi Refining Stage: Five Elements Guidance.

Foundation Establishment Stage: Five Elements Void Escape.

Golden Core Stage: Five Elements Dharma Body.

Nascent Soul Stage: Five Elements Samsara Eyes.

Transformation Spirit Stage: Five Elements Annihilation.

Void Refinement Stage: Five Elements Returning to Origin.

Fusion Stage: Five Elements Great Thousand World Shattering Sword.

The Great Ascension stage divine ability was called: Five Elements Chaos Dao Seed.

This divine ability condensed everything he had learned, comprehended, and cultivated throughout his life into a single Dao seed.

This Dao seed was planted within the Dantian, taking root and sprouting, merging into one with the cultivator.

Once the Dao seed was formed, the cultivator would possess the embryonic form of Dao.

From then on, every movement would carry the rhythm of Dao.

More importantly, this Dao seed was the greatest reliance when crossing tribulation.

When tribulation lightning struck, as long as the Dao seed remained indestructible, both body and soul could be reconstructed. Although Gu Yan did not particularly need it, having it was better than not.

After Great Ascension came Tribulation Crossing.

The divine ability of the Tribulation Crossing Realm was called: Five Elements Myriad Tribulations Undying Calamity-Transcending Divine Light.

Once this divine ability was unleashed, it could draw upon the power of tribulations in heaven and earth, transforming it into divine light to protect the body.

Ten thousand tribulations could descend without destroying him; a thousand calamities could strike without causing his fall.

It could even transfer his own tribulations onto enemies, making opponents suffer the tribulation in his place.

In simple terms, when Gu Yan crossed tribulation, he could casually find an enemy to take the lightning for him.

After Tribulation Crossing came Human Immortal.

Human Immortal was a realm beyond the mundane, the initial step into the Immortal Dao.

The divine ability at this stage already involved the laws of the Immortal Dao.

Thus, the divine ability Gu Yan comprehended after breaking through to Human Immortal was called: Five Elements Great Luo Heavenly Palm — Immortal Nation Within the Palm.

With a single palm strike, an entire immortal nation formed within the palm.

Within this immortal nation, the Five Elements circulated, laws formed naturally—it could trap enemies, kill enemies, save others, and even save oneself.

Within the Immortal Nation in the Palm, the caster was the sovereign, was the Heavenly Dao itself.
