Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

103: Chapter 103 The Eternal Night Ruler: The Ancient World Tree of All Heavens!Taiyi Dao Sect, Longevity Peak.

It took Gu Yan twenty years to advance from the second level to the third level of the Human Immortal Realm.

During these twenty years, aside from contemplating his Cultivation Technique, he spent his days in seated meditation to Cultivate.

Occasionally, in his spare time, he would take out the haotian mirror to see what that kid in the Spirit Realm was doing.

Unfortunately, that kid was truly disgustingly cautious.

Ever since he comprehended that supreme sword Dao Divine Ability that day, he had gone straight into secluded cultivation and never came out.

Gu Yan watched him through the haotian mirror for twenty years, and he never once saw him step out of that thatched cottage.

During this period, there were mighty figures in the Spirit Realm who tried to deduce the Heavenly Dao to find the source of the anomaly from that day.

But those deductions all came to nothing.

What was even more extreme was that not only did he not leave his house, but he also never interacted with anyone.

That nameless small sect didn’t have many people to begin with, and everyone usually cultivated on their own, so no one noticed anything unusual.

As a result, Gu Yan watched for twenty years and still didn’t even know the other party’s name.

”Tsk.”

Gu Yan shook his head, feeling somewhat amused and helpless.

He had seen cautious people before, but never anyone this cautious.

”Forget it.”

Gu Yan put away his thoughts and stopped thinking about that person who walked the path of extreme caution.

Anyway, it was just a pastime during his leisure time, not worth worrying about.

He lowered his head to look at his hands, feeling the abundant Qi within his body, and nodded slightly.

Twenty years for one minor Realm.

”The Immortal Dao is difficult; it truly lives up to its reputation.”

Gu Yan whispered to himself.

He had once thought that with the nine-qi chaoyuan tree and the countless Heaven And Earth Treasure scavenged by the Dragon, his cultivation speed shouldn’t be too slow.

But only after truly stepping into the Human Immortal Realm did he understand that the difficulty of the Immortal Dao did not lie in the amount of Spiritual Qi.

Cultivation before the Human Immortal Realm involved refining Spiritual Power, the Physical Body, and the Primordial Spirit.

But cultivation after the Human Immortal Realm was about—Dao.

Spiritual Power could be stacked with Heaven And Earth Treasure, the Physical Body could be nourished with Spirit Medicine and Immortal Plant, and the Primordial Spirit could be slowly polished with time.

But Dao could not.

Dao required comprehension.

It required experience.

It required that flash of inspiration in an instant.

Gu Yan could clearly feel that in the twenty years he spent going from the second to the third level of the Human Immortal Realm, the time he actually spent accumulating Qi was only five years.

The remaining fifteen years were all spent waiting.

Waiting for the arrival of that trace of Dao charm, waiting for the flash of inspiration, waiting for the resonance between himself and the world to reach Perfection.

This feeling was like water about to overflow, but there was an invisible gap in the bucket wall.

You had to wait for the gap to fill itself before the water could continue to rise.

And for the next level, from the third to the fourth.

Gu Yan had a strong premonition that it would be even harder.

It had nothing to do with Spiritual Qi or resources, only with how deep his comprehension of the Dao was.

”No wonder those mighty figures in the Immortal Realm go into secluded cultivation for thousands or tens of thousands of years.”

Gu Yan shook his head.

It wasn’t posturing; it was genuinely necessary to take that long.

Just as he was pondering, Gu Yan was suddenly slightly startled.

【The effect of the entry ”immortal lord fuzhe - Red” has been triggered. You have obtained the seed of the Ancient World Tree of the Dominator of Eternal Night.】

【Ancient World Tree of the Dominator of Eternal Night: A remnant of the companion supreme treasure of a fallen Eternal Night Dominator, nourished by the power of the Heavenly Dao for four hundred and seventy thousand years, it is a unique Innate divine object reborn. It can be cultivated and grown. Once it matures, every leaf will represent a complete world within the heavens. The holder can use this tree to Transmigration across the heavens and myriad worlds, unrestricted by any boundary walls.】

After reading this, Gu Yan was stunned for a moment.

Four hundred and seventy thousand years?

Unique?

Transmigration across the heavens and myriad worlds?

He silently calculated the time; it seemed to have been more than forty years since the entry last gave him a good item.

He didn’t expect another good thing to appear today.

With a thought, an object appeared in Gu Yan’s hand out of thin air.

It was a seed.

It was pitch black all over, yet it faintly shimmered with starlight.

Looking closely, it felt as if endless stars were flowing in the depths of that blackness.

The seed was not big, only the size of a thumb, but holding it in his hand, there was a heavy feeling.

It felt as if he was not holding a seed, but a world.

At the same time, a realization emerged from the bottom of Gu Yan’s heart.

This was a direct infusion from the effect of the immortal lord fuzhe entry, explaining the true usage of this seed.

The haotian mirror could Transmigration across the heavens.

But the heavens the haotian mirror could reach were the heavens of this world.

This world was vast and boundless.

Below were three thousand Mortal Realm worlds.

In the middle were three thousand worlds including the Spirit Realm, Monster Realm, Demon Realm, and Ghost Realm.

Above were the thirty-three layers of the Immortal Realm, and further up, there was the legendary Saint Realm.

These Realms were layered on top of each other, together forming a complete system of the heavens.

They were like the different branches of a large tree, seemingly separated, but actually sharing the same roots.

What the haotian mirror could do was travel between the different branches of this large tree.

But this seed could jump out of this large tree and go to another large tree.

The true heavens and myriad worlds.

Every world was an independent large tree.

They had their own Heavenly Dao, their own rules, their own living beings, and their own civilizations.

Those worlds had no connection to this world, nor did they have any intersection.

And once this tree grew up, it could become a bridge connecting those worlds.

Gu Yan looked at the seed in his hand, and a picture suddenly appeared in his mind:

In the endless Void Realm, a towering tree stood quietly.

The tree was indescribably large; a single leaf was a world.

As the wind blew, the leaves rustled.

That sound was the birth and death, the Reincarnation of countless worlds.

Gu Yan took a deep breath.

Since he obtained this red entry, ”immortal lord fuzhe - Red”, it had given him too many surprises.

The nine-qi chaoyuan tree, the haotian mirror, the yuantu sword.

And those countless Heaven And Earth Treasure, Divine Ability, and Cultivation Technique that allowed him to cheat his way through.

But this surprise still made his heart tremble.

It wasn’t because of how strong this thing was, but because of its significance.

It meant that this world was no longer his final destination.

It meant that one day in the future, he could step out of this world.

And go see what the true heavens and myriad worlds looked like.
