Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

285: Chapter 286 Supreme Offensive Innate Spiritual Treasure - Chaos Creation and Earth-Splitting Limitless Void-Breaking Axe!In the blink of an eye, several decades passed.

Gu Yan’s Cultivation was stabilized at the Immortal Emperor Second Transformation Stage; he was in no hurry to push for the Third Transformation Stage.

At this Realm, every step forward required slow and steady effort; it could not be rushed.

It was like climbing a mountain to its midpoint, where looking up, the summit was invisible, and looking down, the base was obscured.

One could only polish their immortal essence and temper their Divine Soul day after day, waiting for the day when success would come naturally.

Over these years, the immortal lord fuzhe - Red trait triggered on schedule every year. Although no more Supreme Grade Innate Spirit Treasures appeared, he did obtain quite a few Low Grade and Medium Grade ones.

Imitations of things like the Soul-Suppressing Bell, the Earth-Cleaving Ruler, and the Five-Fire Seven-Poultry Fan were piled up in a warehouse.

That warehouse was an inner chamber within the Hall of Longevity, and now the shelves on all four walls were stacked with various Magic Treasures.

There were also some that Gu Yan truly looked down upon, so he casually tossed them to his Disciples to use, which could be considered making the best use of everything.

On this day, Gu Yan’s mind stirred, and he activated the gold trait, Eternal Unique Supreme Dream Master · Gold.

The scene before him shifted, and he appeared in the Place of Origin of Ten Thousand Dreams.

This space was still grey and misty, with no end in sight.

Grey mist filled the surroundings, neither thick nor thin, just like the sky at the moment before dawn—dark yet with light, bright yet making nothing clearly visible.

Like a dream or an illusion, it was just so.

The towering giant tree stood majestically, its branches and leaves lush, with its boughs laden with ten thousand dreams dao fruits.

Gu Yan was not polite either; he reached out with both hands, picking them one after another.

A moment later, a thousand ten thousand dreams dao fruits floated neatly before him.

Beneath the tree, the massive Nightmare Behemoth lay prostrate, its enormous head resting on its front paws, its large eyes staring straight at Gu Yan.

That gaze wasn’t exactly fierce; instead, it held a hint of... resentment.

Gu Yan looked down at it and sighed.

”Fine, fine, don’t look at me like that. You’re making me feel like some black-hearted boss.”

He casually picked three more ten thousand dreams dao fruits and tossed them toward the beast.

The Nightmare Behemoth opened its large mouth, and the three Dao fruits instantly vanished down its throat without it even chewing.

It squinted its eyes in satisfaction, a low purr emanating from its throat like a large cat having its fur smoothed.

Gu Yan shook his head, his gaze sweeping over it.

This beast possessed combat power at the Peak Immortal King level.

Pity it could not leave the Place of Origin of Ten Thousand Dreams.

”You, an existence capable of rivaling a Peak Immortal King in combat power, are actually unable to leave the Place of Origin of Ten Thousand Dreams.”

”Isn’t this Cultivation just going to waste?”

Gu Yan crouched down and reached out to pat the beast’s head.

The touch wasn’t soft; instead, it felt like patting a lump of iron wrapped in leather, hard as a rock.

The Nightmare Behemoth seemed to understand; it snorted a puff of hot air and buried its head in its paws, no longer looking at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan didn’t bother saying more and turned to leave the Place of Origin of Ten Thousand Dreams.

Returning to the Hall of Longevity, Gu Yan sat cross-legged, spreading his Divine Sense and instantly locking onto Xuan Chenzi, the Grand Elder of the Taiyi Dao Sect.

This old Daoist was now at the Early Stage Earth Immortal Realm, his Aura steady, meditating within his own Immortal Cave.

Gu Yan didn’t engage in small talk, directly sending a thousand ten thousand dreams dao fruits along with a Divine Sense transmission.

The thousand Dao fruits, wrapped in Divine Sense, were like a meteor streaking across the sky, silently penetrating the mountain gate array of the Taiyi Dao Sect and landing directly in front of Xuan Chenzi.

”Elder Xuan Chenzi, the hundred-year term has arrived again. On Mount Buzhou, I’ll trouble you to hold another Daluo Dao Discussion and Martial Arts Assembly.”

”The rules remain the same: each of the top thousand will be rewarded with one ten thousand dreams dao fruit. As for other Mystical Arts, Divine Abilities, Immortal Magical Artifacts, Immortal Magic Treasures, and Immortal Spiritual Artifacts, distribute and reward them as appropriate; I’ll leave the arrangements to you.”

The moment Xuan Chenzi received the Divine Sense message, his old face turned solemn, and he bowed respectfully toward the void: ”I shall respectfully obey the Dao Lord’s decree.”

Gu Yan transmitted a few more specific matters and then withdrew his Divine Sense.

Simultaneously, the pressure enveloping Xuan Chenzi’s Immortal Cave also dissipated.

Xuan Chenzi straightened up, let out a long breath of turbid air, and turned to begin arranging the various affairs of the assembly.

Speaking of this Daluo Dao Discussion and Martial Arts Assembly, ever since Gu Yan first held it, the rule was set to occur once every hundred years.

By now, session after session had been held, at least three or four times.

Gu Yan had long since stopped worrying about the hosting details himself, having delegated full authority to Xuan Chenzi and Yun Chenzi.

Coupled with the assistance of Gu Yan’s Disciples Feng Bage and Shen Qingyi, no mishaps had occurred throughout the years of hosting.

The assembly had a hard rule: only Cultivators below the Human Immortal Realm were allowed to participate.

The reason was simple.

A ten thousand dreams dao fruit could directly make one a Human Immortal upon consumption.

The effect was best and the medicinal utilization rate highest when taken below the Human Immortal Realm.

Of course, beings at the Human Immortal or even higher Realms would naturally see effects from eating a ten thousand dreams dao fruit, but it would be a pure waste.

It was like the Ginseng Fruit: giving it to a Mortal could extend their life by tens of thousands of years, but to an immortal, it was just a snack.

The cost-effectiveness was not on the same level.

Therefore, the rule had never changed.

As for the location, it had always been at the summit of Mount Buzhou within the Supreme Creation Daluo Grotto-Heaven.

That place was large enough, grand enough, and easy to arrange.

Sometimes Gu Yan would ponder that once he reached the Immortal Emperor Nine Transformations in the future, perhaps he could open up this assembly completely.

At that time, all the Major Thousand Worlds, Middle Thousand Worlds, and Minor Thousand Worlds affiliated with the Supreme Creation Daluo Grotto-Heaven could send Disciples to participate once every hundred years.

How wonderful and lively that would be.

Of course, that was a matter for the future.

Thinking about these things now was premature.

Gu Yan brushed these thoughts aside, closed his eyes, and continued to Cultivate.

However, not long after he began cultivating, the familiar light screen unfolded before his eyes again.

[Trait ”immortal lord fuzhe - Red” effect triggered. You have obtained the Supreme Grade Innate Spirit Treasure ”chaos heaven-opening void-breaking infinite axe”.]

[chaos heaven-opening void-breaking infinite axe: A Supreme Grade Innate Spirit Treasure. It was an unnamed axe fetus from the depths of Chaos that absorbed the residual axe intent from the time of the opening of the heavens and the Wuji Qi, nurtured over countless eons.]

[This axe specializes in offense, possessing unparalleled defense-breaking capabilities, ignoring all protective Divine Abilities, Magic Treasure defenses, and Law barriers.]

[When the axe strikes, all Laws shatter; when the axe falls, the void cracks. If the wielder’s Cultivation is sufficient, they can even split open the Heavenly Dao barrier of a Major Thousand World with a single swing, striking directly at the Origin.]

[Property I · Void-Shattering: Attacks carry the power of Void-Shattering, ignoring target defenses, and the wounds caused are extremely difficult to heal, hard even for the Laws of the Heavenly Dao to repair. It is especially effective against various protective Divine Abilities and those who have achieved Sanctification of the Physical Body.]

[Property II · Wuji: The axe intent is formless and signless, making moves difficult to predict. Opponents cannot perceive the trajectory of the axe’s momentum and can only rely on instinct to block.]

[Property III · Heaven-Opening: When fully activated, it can channel a sliver of the axe intent that opened the heavens and split the earth, causing the power of a single strike to explode ten-thousand-fold. This move consumes a massive amount of energy, requiring a large amount of immortal essence and one’s own Luck for each use.]

Having finished reading, Gu Yan’s thought stirred.

An axe appeared in his palm.

The axe body was not large, belonging to the hand-axe type that could be gripped with one hand. Its design reminded Gu Yan of the weapon used by Chenxiang in the ’lotus lantern’ animation he had seen in his previous life.

However, this one before him was clearly much more magnificent. Its entire body was dark gold, with chaotic-colored patterns flowing across the axe face, resembling the primitive veins from before the world was opened.

A glint of cold light at the axe edge did not have the chill of metal.

The entire axe exuded a desolate, primordial Aura.

It was as if it had split through time and space from an ancient eon to arrive here; its Aura was staggering.

The handle felt neither cold nor hot to the touch. The moment his palm made contact, he could vaguely feel the sleeping will within the axe throb slightly before returning to silence.

Gu Yan weighed it in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

Finally, another offensive-type Supreme Grade Innate Spirit Treasure had arrived.

Counting them carefully, the few he had obtained before—the lotus lantern, the twelve-grade pure world white lotus, and the twelve-grade merit golden lotus—were all geared toward defense and support.

The lotus lantern could illuminate and dispel evil, making one impervious to all Laws; the Pure World White Lotus could purify all things and protect the body; the Merit Golden Lotus could gather Luck and protect with Karma.

The three items each had their own wonders, but in the end, none were considered pure offensive Sharp Weapons.

What Gu Yan had on hand for fighting were primarily the two swords, Avici and Yuantu.

Those two killing swords were fierce and ruthless enough; their slaughtering power was top-tier even among Innate Spirit Treasures.

It was just that after using swords for a long time, he occasionally wanted to change the feel.

Now it was fine; he had one more axe.

An axe was something simple and direct, without any flashy techniques.

With one swing, if it could break the defense, it would; if not, just add another swing.

If the sword was the elegance of a gentleman and the blade was the sharpness of a hegemon, then the axe was the pure violence of a primordial age.

Gu Yan spun the axe twice in his hand and then withdrew it into his body for nurturing.

He was in a good mood and decided not to Cultivate tonight, but to go to the Qingyan Palace to have a few drinks with his Senior Sister.
