Standing ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍before the Longevity Hall, watching the small tree gently sway in the spiritual wind, he suddenly remembered something.

His ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍senior sister, Lin Wei, seemed to be cultivating in the nearby palace.

Over ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍these years, he had been focused solely on cultivation and had not visited her for quite some time.

After ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍thinking for a moment, Gu Yan stepped toward that palace.

Of ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍course, he was not going there to dual cultivate with his senior sister.

It had simply been a long time since they met—he wanted to see how her cultivation was progressing and perhaps give her some pills.

Lin Wei’s palace was right beside the Longevity Hall, less than a thousand zhang away.

Gu Yan did not enter rashly. Instead, he stood outside and softly called, “Senior Sister, Gu Yan has come to visit. Is it convenient to meet?”

The spiritual energy fluctuations inside the hall suddenly paused.

A moment later, the door opened.

Lin Wei stood at the entrance, dressed in a green robe, her long hair cascading like a waterfall.

She looked at Gu Yan, stunned for a moment before a smile appeared on her face.

“Junior Brother? What brings you here?”

Her smile was bright, her eyes carrying a hint of surprise.

Gu Yan looked at her and smiled slightly. “Came to see you.”

Lin Wei stepped aside. “Come in.”

Gu Yan entered the hall.

The interior was simply furnished—a meditation cushion, a jade table, and a few spirit lamps.

In one corner were many ancient texts, some still spread open, clearly being studied.

Lin Wei guided him to sit on the cushion and sat opposite him, her eyes examining him.

“Junior Brother, your cultivation has improved again?”

Her cultivation was far below his, so she could not discern his depth—only guess based on intuition.

Gu Yan nodded. “Just broke through not long ago.”

A trace of complexity flashed in Lin Wei’s eyes.

There was envy, emotion—but more than anything, genuine happiness.

The two sat together, chatting casually.

They spoke of their cultivation over the years, of doubts in their practice, and various trivial matters.

Lin Wei talked about the texts she had studied, her insights into techniques, and the bottlenecks she encountered.

Gu Yan answered each of her questions.

With his current realm, guiding a Transformation Spirit cultivator was naturally effortless.

Lin Wei listened attentively, nodding from time to time, flashes of realization appearing in her eyes.

Before they knew it, several hours had passed.

Lin Wei suddenly said, “Junior Brother, you didn’t come just to guide me today, did you?”

Gu Yan did not hide it and flipped his hand, taking out several pills.

“These are for you.”

Lin Wei held the pills in her hands, staring at him blankly.

After a moment, she softly said, “Junior Brother, you’re really good to me.”

Gu Yan waved his hand. “Between us, there’s no need to say that.”

……

Seven days and seven nights later, Gu Yan returned to the Longevity Hall and resumed seclusion.

Another ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, within the Longevity Hall, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted.

That aura was deep as an abyss, vast as the sea, instantly sweeping across the entire Little Luo Grotto-Heaven.

Within the grotto-heaven, spiritual beasts and birds all prostrated on the ground, trembling.

Even the spiritual plants cultivated for years quivered under this aura, their branches drooping.

Moments later, the aura receded.

Gu Yan opened his eyes.

Divine light shone within them, and his aura had grown several times more powerful than before.

Earth Immortal First Layer.

He had finally stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm.

Feeling the vast, ocean-like spiritual power within his body, a realization arose in Gu Yan’s heart.

The Human Immortal stage was about condensing the immortal body.

The Earth Immortal stage was when one truly began to grasp the power of heaven and earth.

At this level, with a mere gesture, one could draw upon the spiritual energy of an entire region.

As Gu Yan pondered this, his brow suddenly grew warm.

A stream of information surged into his mind.

It was a divine ability from the 《Primordial Limitless Grand Five Elements Primordial Chaos Creation True Scripture》 belonging to the Earth Immortal Realm.

At the Human Immortal stage, the divine ability he comprehended was 《Five Elements Great Luo Heavenly Palm — Immortal Nation Within the Palm》.

With a single palm strike, it formed a self-contained immortal nation, trapping and killing enemies in an instant.

The divine ability of the Earth Immortal stage was called 《Great Luo Heaven Supreme Primordial Five Elements Chaos Divine Light》.

Gu Yan silently recited the name once, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.

What a long name—hard to even say smoothly.

He carefully comprehended the information of this divine ability. After a moment, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This divine ability was stronger than the one from the Human Immortal stage.

《Five Elements Great Luo Heavenly Palm — Immortal Nation Within the Palm》 focused on trapping and suppressing.

But 《Great Luo Heaven Supreme Primordial Five Elements Chaos Divine Light》 focused on breaking and destruction.

Once this divine light was unleashed, it could evolve chaos and recreate the Five Elements.

Any technique, divine ability, or magic treasure struck by this light would be eroded by the power of chaos and dismantled by the power of the Five Elements.

Even those at the same cultivation level as him—or slightly stronger—would struggle to resist it, and any slight misstep would result in suffering losses.

After reviewing it, Gu Yan nodded.

This divine ability was good—but just that.

There was no helping it—he had too many divine abilities.

All things considered, he probably had dozens.

The problem was, he simply had no use for them.

Not to mention using them—some divine abilities he had mastered had never even been used once.

Thinking of this, Gu Yan could not help but shake his head.

“Having too many divine abilities is also a kind of trouble.”

“It’s like collecting a backpack full of top-tier gear in a game, yet wandering around in the beginner village with no chance to use it.”

He sighed and continued comprehending.

Even if he could not use them, he still had to understand them.

If the immortals of the Immortal Realm knew what Gu Yan was thinking at this moment, they would probably curse in anger.

Divine abilities were not cabbages.

For ordinary cultivators, obtaining even one suitable divine ability was already a blessing.

For those prodigies, having three to five was enough to dominate a region.

And Gu Yan, holding dozens of divine abilities, actually found it too many?

Actually said he had no use for them?

What was this?

This was failing to appreciate one’s blessings.

This was the well-fed unaware of the hunger of the starving.
