Entry: I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World

297: Chapter 298 Breakthrough to the Great Luo Unity Realm!The Immortal Realm... has disappeared?

Venerable Yu retracted his Divine Sense and remained silent for a long time.

He had just used the methods of a Saint to deduce the secrets of heaven; although interfered with by the tribulation qi, he had managed to calculate a few clues.

The Immortal Realm had not simply vanished into thin air; it had been moved in its entirety to another space by some extremely sophisticated means.

The Immortal Realm still existed, the world had not been destroyed, and the living beings had not been wiped out.

But it was no longer in its original position, nor was it within the established order of All Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

As for what kind of existence that space was, what it contained, or who had done this—Venerable Yu could not calculate it at all.

That space seemed to be enveloped by an invisible barrier.

When a Saint’s Divine Sense probed it, it was like a clay ox entering the sea—there was no response.

The power of the red trait, ”Selfless and Formless Body,” was beyond doubt.

The Heavenly Dao did not know, and the Dao could not know either.

Venerable Yu slowly closed his eyes. No joy or anger could be seen on his face, only the Chaos Qi around him became increasingly dense and heavy.

...

At this moment, within the relocated Immortal Realm, a figure in blood-colored robes was slowly sheathing a pair of swords into his sleeves.

It was Minghe.

The reason he dared to kill Lingyangzi without hesitation was simple.

Because before that, or rather, at the very moment Long Da activated the heaven-opening axe to destroy the Hunyuan Demon Emperor, Demon Emperor Geng Kui, and the Devil Emperor, the entire Immortal Realm had already been quietly incorporated into the Supreme Creation Daluo Grotto-Heaven by the main body, Gu Yan.

From then on, the Immortal Realm no longer belonged to the jurisdiction of the original Heavenly Dao or the Dao; it belonged solely to Gu Yan.

This was the confidence that gave Minghe the courage to act.

As for the original Heavenly Dao and Dao of the Immortal Realm?

The moment it was absorbed, they had lost all authority over the Immortal Realm.

Now, a new Heavenly Dao and a new Dao had been born within the Supreme Creation Daluo Grotto-Heaven.

The source of that new Heavenly Dao was Gu Yan.

The source of the new Dao was also Gu Yan.

Furthermore, in the process of absorbing the Immortal Realm, Gu Yan had conveniently swallowed the remaining two thousand-plus Middle Thousand Worlds beneath the Immortal Realm along with it.

Now, the original layout of All Heavens and Myriad Worlds had been completely altered.

Only the Saint Realm and countless Minor Thousand Worlds and Mortal Realms remained, floating lonely in the original chaotic void.

The reason Gu Yan did not absorb these Minor Thousand Worlds and Mortal Realms was not that he couldn’t, but that it was impractical.

There were too many.

Besides, he had to leave something for the Saint Realm.

It wouldn’t do to lick the area around the Saint Realm clean, leaving not even a foothold.

Always leave a way out for others; it makes future encounters easier.

Although Gu Yan didn’t really want to meet those Saints from the Saint Realm.

...

Supreme Creation Daluo Grotto-Heaven, Hall of Longevity.

Gu Yan’s eyes were slightly closed, and the aura around him was as dense and deep as an abyss.

He had just used his Divine Sense to perceive the changes in the entire Grotto-Heaven system.

After the Immortal Realm was incorporated, the Laws of heaven and earth within the entire Supreme Creation Daluo Grotto-Heaven became increasingly perfected.

The concentration of Spiritual Qi had risen to a new level, and all three thousand affiliated Major Thousand Worlds and countless Middle Thousand and Minor Thousand Worlds benefited from it.

As the source of all this, Gu Yan naturally received feedback from the Origin of the Grotto-Heaven.

His original cultivation of the Second Transformation Stage of the Immortal Emperor had quietly loosened the moment the Immortal Realm was incorporated.

The immortal essence within his body surged like a tidal wave, his Divine Soul constantly expanded, and his Dao foundation became increasingly stable.

”It’s here.”

Gu Yan thought to himself, unhurriedly guiding that feedback to circulate within his body.

The Bottleneck of the Second Transformation Stage of the Immortal Emperor shattered like paper.

Third Transformation Stage Immortal Emperor.

Breakthrough achieved.

However, this was only the beginning.

The feedback was continuous, far from being exhausted.

When Gu Yan had upgraded the Supreme Creation Daluo Grotto-Heaven into a Major Thousand World, the Origin of the Grotto-Heaven had derived three thousand affiliated Major Thousand Worlds and countless Middle and Minor Thousand Worlds.

At that time, a massive amount of feedback from heaven and earth had condensed within his body, stored but not released.

He hadn’t absorbed it.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t, but the timing wasn’t right.

At that time, he had held a thought: wait until the Immortal Realm was also incorporated and the entire world system was completely integrated.

Then, by triggering this long-accumulated power all at once, he could maximize the benefits.

Now, the Immortal Realm was already in the trap.

Three thousand Major Thousand Worlds were at Perfection, with countless Middle and Minor ones; the Grotto-Heaven system had truly reached Major Achievement.

This was the perfect time to absorb that accumulated power.

With a thought from Gu Yan, the long-dormant power of the heaven and earth feedback within his body was released with a roar.

It merged and fused with the new feedback brought by the incorporation of the Immortal Realm, turning into an irresistible torrent that surged and scoured through his Meridians.

His cultivation began to climb.

Fourth Transformation Stage Immortal Emperor.

Fifth Transformation Stage Immortal Emperor.

Sixth Transformation Stage Immortal Emperor.

Each Breakthrough was accompanied by a violent vibration of the Dao rhymes around him.

Outside the Hall of Longevity, spiritual rain poured down, golden lotuses covered the ground, and auspicious clouds churned like the sea.

Seventh Transformation Stage.

Eighth Transformation Stage.

Ninth Transformation Stage.

He advanced like a hot knife through butter, rushing straight to the Peak of the Ninth Transformation Stage of the Immortal Emperor.

Gu Yan was overjoyed and was about to stop the cultivation to stabilize his Realm when he suddenly felt another anomaly within his body.

Above the Peak of the Ninth Transformation Stage of the Immortal Emperor, that thin, almost non-existent membrane was shattered at this moment.

Boom!

An aura far exceeding the level of an Immortal Emperor erupted from Gu Yan’s body.

Great Luo Unity Realm.

The Great Luo is vast and boundless, encompassing all phenomena.

Unity means all Laws return to the source; the Dao is within me.

The Great Luo Unity Realm is the complete unification of one’s own Dao with the Dao of heaven and earth; I am the Dao, and the Dao is me.

The entire Supreme Creation Daluo Grotto-Heaven, as well as the Immortal Realm and any other affiliated Major Thousand Worlds, Middle Thousand Worlds, and Minor Thousand Worlds, underwent tremendous changes due to Gu Yan’s continuous Breakthrough.

The Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth surged, and all living things benefited.

Spiritual rain fell continuously, and auspicious clouds and aura shrouded the heavens.

All of this came too suddenly.

...

Immortal Realm, Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace.

Immortal King Xuanhuang was standing at the palace entrance, watching the earth-shattering auras on the distant Immortal Court battlefield gradually dissipate, his heart filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

Although he hadn’t personally been present at the battle just now, he had observed the general situation from afar with his Divine Sense.

Emperor Long Da had beheaded three Emperors with one axe, and also cleaved the Cang Emperor, Emperor Haotian, and the Five Ancestors of Buddhism, wiping out the top brass of the Immortal Court, Divine Court, and Buddhism in one fell swoop.

Such methods were simply unimaginable.

Immortal King Xuanhuang was secretly rejoicing that he had defected to the Heavenly Court early, when he suddenly felt the flow of Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth change abruptly.

An extremely vast Dao rhyme surged out from the void, permeating the surroundings and shrouding the entire Immortal Realm.

Spiritual rain poured down, and golden lotuses fell from the clouds one after another.

Immortal King Xuanhuang was stunned.

He was at the Middle Stage of the Immortal King Realm, and his perception of the Laws of heaven and earth was far keener than that of ordinary Cultivators.

At this moment, he clearly felt that the source of this Dao rhyme did not come from within the Immortal Realm.

It came from outside the Immortal Realm, or rather, from an existence at a higher level than the Immortal Realm.

Someone was having a Breakthrough.

No, not an ordinary Breakthrough.

Immortal King Xuanhuang had lived for millions of years and had never felt such a level of Dao rhyme fluctuation.

At least the level of an Immortal Emperor.

And not just breaking through one small Realm, but continuous Breakthroughs.

The Breakthrough of an Immortal Emperor was inherently extremely difficult, often taking millions of years; who could actually break through several Realms in a row?

Immortal King Xuanhuang could not figure it out despite racking his brains.

It wasn’t just him; the surviving Immortal Kings, Loose Cultivators, and even those Immortal Emperor-level existences who had luckily survived the previous battle throughout the Immortal Realm were all wearing expressions of bewilderment.

”This... what is going on?”

An Immortal King living in seclusion in the far south of the Immortal Realm looked up at the sky, watching the sky full of spiritual rain and golden lotuses, and muttered to himself.

”So many Immortal Emperors died before; the Laws of heaven and earth should be in turmoil, so why has such a blessing descended instead?”

”Someone is breaking through to the Immortal Emperor level? And continuous Breakthroughs?” another Immortal King said, full of confusion, ”Who could possess such means?”

They did not know the answer.

Or rather, in the entire Immortal Realm, no one knew the answer.
