In ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍the blink of an eye, twenty years had hurried by.

On ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍this day, within the Longevity Hall, Gu Yan slowly opened his eyes.

He ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍was now seven hundred and twenty years old. His cultivation had risen from Earth Immortal Seventh Layer all the way to Earth Immortal Ninth Layer.

Earth ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Immortal Ninth Layer—only one final step remained before Heavenly Immortal.

However, ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍at this moment, Gu Yan did not continue cultivating.

Because today was a special day.

It was once again time to draw an entry—something that happened once every hundred years.

【The host has successfully survived one hundred years, obtaining +1 entry draw opportunity】

【Draw now? (Friendly reminder: entry draws can be accumulated)】

Looking at this line of text, Gu Yan suddenly thought of that red entry Fortune-Blessed Immortal Lord.

Over the years, most of the things this entry had given him were rather useless.

“I wonder if it’s been accumulating luck all this time, just waiting for today’s draw.”

Gu Yan shook his head and activated it with a thought.

【Draw】

In an instant, the light screen before him changed.

A massive roulette wheel appeared out of thin air, with seven-colored light continuously flowing.

Gray, green, blue, purple, orange, gold, red.

Seven colors, seven tiers.

The pointer began to spin.

Gu Yan watched calmly.

The pointer spun faster and faster, then gradually slowed.

Finally, it came to a stop in the green section.

【Draw successful】

【Obtained entry: While All Beings Sleep, I Alone Remain Awake · Green】

【While All Beings Sleep, I Alone Remain Awake · Green: When the host is in a sleeping state, a strand of divine sense may remain awake, perceiving everything around. If danger is encountered, it can automatically awaken the main body. Note: Only effective during sleep.】

Gu Yan looked at this entry and did not know what to say for a moment.

Well then—among all his entries, the lowest grade was no longer blue, but green.

“While all beings sleep, I alone remain awake…”

“An interesting name.”

“But this effect…”

Gu Yan shook his head.

To say it was useless—it did have some use, at least acting as a warning system during sleep.

To say it was useful—with his current cultivation, there were very few things that could approach him silently anyway.

Moreover, he either cultivated or used the Haotian Mirror to pass time. The number of times he actually slept was extremely small.

“Forget it.”

Gu Yan quickly returned to calm.

Entries were always a matter of chance.

If he got something good, all the better. If not, it did not matter.

He had long passed the early development stage—perhaps the good luck from those years had been used up. That was normal.

Just as he was thinking this, the light screen changed again.

【Entry Fortune-Blessed Immortal Lord · Red effect triggered. You have obtained Nine-Revolution Profound Heaven Wondrous Splendor Immortal Lotus】

Gu Yan was slightly startled.

The Fortune-Blessed Immortal Lord entry triggered once every year, usually giving random items.

But this time, it seemed different.

He focused and examined it.

【Nine-Revolution Profound Heaven Wondrous Splendor Immortal Lotus: A supreme treasure of the Immortal Realm. This lotus is jade-like in form, with nine layers of petals. Every thousand years, one layer blooms. Full bloom requires nine thousand years.

When the lotus blooms, a spirit is nurtured within its core, named Wondrous Splendor Fairy.

This spirit is naturally close to the Great Dao. If carefully nurtured, after ten thousand years it may take form as a true flower fairy, possessing a foundation no weaker than a Golden Immortal.

Note: This lotus must be nourished with immortal energy and must not be contaminated by mortal impurity, otherwise its spirituality will be greatly damaged.】

After reading this, a strange light flashed in Gu Yan’s eyes.

“A supreme treasure of the Immortal Realm… nurturing a spirit… a flower fairy…”

After pondering for a moment, he found it rather interesting.

A flower fairy with a Golden Immortal-level foundation after ten thousand years.

Although the cultivation time was long, if successfully raised, it would be a decent helper.

Moreover, the lotus itself was certainly no ordinary object.

With a thought, Gu Yan raised his hand.

A stream of light appeared from the void and landed in his palm.

It was a lotus.

Its entire body was jade-like and crystal clear, with nine layers of overlapping petals.

Each petal shimmered with faint immortal light, not inferior in the slightest to the Nine-Revolution Reincarnation Immortal Lotus that nurtured Honglian.

At this moment, the lotus was still in a budding state.

The nine layers of petals were tightly closed, and within the core, a faint spark of spiritual light flickered.

That should be the future Wondrous Splendor Fairy.

Gu Yan looked at it for a moment, then turned and walked out of the Longevity Hall.

He found an open space and planted the Nine-Revolution Profound Heaven Wondrous Splendor Immortal Lotus beside the Creation Spirit Tree, then guided a stream of immortal energy into it.

Cultivation passed without notice of time.

Another ten years went by.

On this day, within the Longevity Hall, Gu Yan slowly opened his eyes.

A vast aura erupted from within him.

That aura was boundless, as if it could crush stars.

Gu Yan was now seven hundred and thirty years old. His cultivation had finally broken through the shackles of Earth Immortal and stepped into Heavenly Immortal First Layer.

In the Immortal Dao, each realm was a world apart.

Between Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal lay a vast chasm.

“After Heavenly Immortal comes True Immortal, and beyond that is Profound Immortal.”

Gu Yan’s gaze was calm.

He was confident that before reaching one thousand years old, he would definitely break through Profound Immortal and step into the Golden Immortal Realm.

Gu Yan restrained his aura and continued seclusion.

......

The sun and moon rotated, seasons cycled.

Flowers bloomed and withered seventy times; clouds gathered and dispersed countless times.

Time flowed like water, and before one realized it, years had already slipped away.

On this day, within the Longevity Hall, Gu Yan slowly opened his eyes once more.

He was now exactly eight hundred years old, and his cultivation had already risen from Heavenly Immortal First Layer to Heavenly Immortal Fifth Layer.

In just seventy years, breaking through four realms of the Immortal Dao—such speed would shock the entire Immortal Realm.

But Gu Yan did not pay attention to this.

His gaze fell outside the Longevity Hall.

There—

That Eternal World Tree of the Eternal Night Sovereign, which had remained silent for over a hundred years, had finally changed.

A tender green leaf was slowly unfurling from its bare branches.
