Gu ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Yan was four hundred and one years old, Tribulation Crossing Fourth Layer.

In ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍five years, he had gone from Tribulation Crossing First Layer to Tribulation Crossing Fourth Layer, breaking through three minor realms consecutively.

One ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍had to know, the Tribulation Crossing Realm was not like before.

And ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍what about Gu Yan?

It ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍was still as simple as eating and drinking water.

Gu Yan turned his gaze toward the depths of the cave dwelling.

There, a patch of red light lingered. The Nine-Revolution Reincarnation Immortal Lotus quietly floated in midair, its petals gently swaying, emitting a faint trace of Immortal Spiritual Energy.

Within the crimson lotus core, that fair and tender little infant still lay there, curled up in a small ball, sleeping soundly.

Five years had passed, yet it remained the same size.

Not grown at all.

Gu Yan had once used the Haotian Mirror to deduce the situation. The result was that Hong Ting had been personally obliterated by the Nether Emperor back then, and the injuries were far too severe.

Although a wisp of divine soul had been preserved by the Nine-Revolution Reincarnation Immortal Lotus, to be nurtured into a human again would take far longer than imagined.

At the shortest, decades; at the longest, hundreds or even thousands of years—it was all possible.

There was no rushing it.

Gu Yan was not in a hurry either.

After all, this little thing staying inside the lotus did not need to eat or drink.

Occasionally, it would wake up, giggle a couple of times, then fall asleep again—very worry-free.

Only—

Calling it “little infant” every day was not really appropriate.

Gu Yan pondered for a moment, then spoke:

“From today onward, you shall be called Honglian.”

The infant in the lotus was still asleep, showing no reaction.

Gu Yan did not mind.

It was just a name anyway.

Honglian—paired with this Nine-Revolution Reincarnation Immortal Lotus, it was quite fitting.

He withdrew his gaze, his thoughts drifting back to five years ago.

Back when Honglian had just been teleported over, there had been a small misunderstanding.

That day, Senior Sister Lin Wei happened to come looking for him for dual cultivation.

The moment she entered the cave dwelling, she saw a fiery red lotus floating before Gu Yan, with a fair and tender little infant lying inside.

Lin Wei froze on the spot.

She looked at the lotus, then at the infant, then at Gu Yan.

Her gaze was extremely complicated.

“…Junior Brother, this is?”

At that time, Gu Yan was still immersed in the joy of obtaining Immortal Spiritual Energy and casually replied, “Oh, I picked it up.”

Lin Wei fell silent for a moment.

Then she spoke faintly, “If Junior Brother wants a child, why not find me?”

Gu Yan: “…”

Only then did he realize Lin Wei had misunderstood.

And quite deeply at that.

He quickly explained, “Senior Sister is overthinking. This child grew out of the lotus, not born by me.”

Lin Wei looked at him, her gaze still complicated. “Grew out of the lotus?”

Gu Yan nodded. “Yes, a special spiritual object with an extraordinary origin. I’m keeping it for use.”

Lin Wei remained silent for a while, then asked again, “Then… does Junior Brother not want children?”

Gu Yan knew she had misunderstood, but it was not easy to explain too much.

Hong Ting’s origin involved the Immortal Realm’s Immortal King and the Nether Emperor. Saying it would bring no benefit to Lin Wei.

He could only vaguely say, “As for children, we’ll talk about it in the future. Right now, I’m only in the Tribulation Crossing Realm—it’s not the time yet.”

After hearing this, although Lin Wei still felt a bit disappointed, she did not press further.

She knew Gu Yan had his own plans.

However, that night, Lin Wei still pulled Gu Yan into dual cultivation for a long time.

As if trying to make up for something.

Gu Yan let her do as she pleased.

After all, they were Dao companions.

……

Now five years had passed, and Lin Wei had long accepted Honglian’s existence.

Occasionally, when she came out of seclusion, she would even tease the little thing that only knew how to giggle.

And Lin Wei’s cultivation had now reached the late stage of Nascent Soul.

These years, she had not been idle. Aside from dual cultivating with Gu Yan, most of her time was spent in seclusion.

Lin Wei’s cultivation speed, if spoken of, was already quite terrifying.

Of course, compared to Gu Yan, this monster, it was still far behind.

As for her direct disciple Hu Tao—

That girl was now only at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

This speed… how to put it, not slow, but not fast either.

Mainly because that girl was too playful.

Others secluded themselves to cultivate; she secluded herself to sleep.

Others went out to gain experience; she went out to stroll the streets.

Others studied cultivation techniques; she studied food.

Lin Wei could not be bothered to manage her.

In Lin Wei’s words: “Let the disciple do whatever makes her happy. In cultivation, happiness is the most important.”

Gu Yan neither agreed nor disagreed.

Everyone had their own fate.

Although Hu Tao was playful, her nature was pure and kind, and her fortune was deep. She might not necessarily be worse than those who cultivated bitterly.

Gu Yan withdrew his thoughts and stood up.

After cultivating for five years, it was time to move around a bit.

With a wave of his hand, the Haotian Mirror appeared.

He checked to see if there were any recent interesting happenings.

After watching for a while, Gu Yan gradually lost interest.

Looking at these things for too long would indeed become tiresome.

Occasionally browsing was entertainment; watching every day made it dull.

With another wave of his hand, he put away the Haotian Mirror.

Forget it, continue cultivating.

……

In the blink of an eye, another fifteen years passed.

Gu Yan was four hundred and sixteen years old, Tribulation Crossing Ninth Layer.

From Tribulation Crossing Fourth Layer to Tribulation Crossing Ninth Layer, fifteen years, breaking through five realms consecutively.

This speed could no longer be described as fast.

It was simply outrageous.

Gu Yan sensed the surging mana within his body, as well as that faint, subtle resonance.

That was the threshold of the Human Immortal Realm.

As long as he wished, he could attempt a breakthrough at any time.

He pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

No rush.

Although he possessed the entries Body Without Self and Form · Red and Traceless Dao Concealment · Gold, even if he broke through to the Human Immortal Realm, he would not be detected by the Heavenly Dao and forcibly ascended.

But in four more years, he would turn four hundred and twenty.

At that time, he could draw another entry.

It was only four years—waiting was no issue.

What if he drew something useful?

Having made up his mind, Gu Yan temporarily set aside the thought of breaking through and instead considered another matter.

Primordial Unity One Qi Dao Scripture.

This cultivation technique was something he had obtained back then from the annual trigger effect of the Fortune-Blessed Immortal Lord entry.

It did not require spiritual root aptitude. Anyone with a heart toward the Dao could enter, progressing step by step, and at most cultivate up to the Transformation Spirit Realm.

Over the years, throughout the Taiyi Dao Sect, including Lin Wei, everyone cultivated this technique.

The advantages were obvious—the sect disciples’ cultivation improved rapidly, and cases of qi deviation were extremely rare.

But the disadvantages were also clear.

Transformation Spirit Realm was too low.

Lin Wei was now at the late stage of Nascent Soul. In a few more years, she would inevitably break through to Transformation Spirit.

But what then?

How would the path continue afterward?

Switch techniques?

Easier said than done.

The sect disciples of the Spirit Realm could be said to all possess spiritual roots.

After all, without spiritual roots, one could not even step into the path of immortality.

But the disciples of the Taiyi Dao Sect were all mortals by origin, without spiritual roots.

The reason the Primordial Unity One Qi Dao Scripture suited them was precisely because it did not rely on spiritual roots, depending entirely on one’s heart toward the Dao.

If they switched to other techniques, they simply could not cultivate them.

Therefore, the only method was to raise the upper limit of the Primordial Unity One Qi Dao Scripture.

To elevate the Transformation Spirit Realm to Void Refinement, Fusion Realm, or even higher.

Gu Yan pondered for a moment, then waved his hand.

The Haotian Mirror appeared.

With a slight movement of his thoughts, he began deducing.

……

Spirit Realm, Eastern Continent, Azure Wave Sect.

Inside the Sect Master’s main hall, Nether Soul sat high above, eyes closed in rest.

These years, the Azure Wave Sect had been living quite peacefully.

Ever since that battle, where he annihilated thirteen Nascent Souls, nearly a hundred Golden Cores, and over five hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators in a single move, the entire Eastern Continent had been shaken.

Those forces that once eyed the Azure Wave Sect greedily had, overnight, fallen silent.

It was said that the ancestor of the Red Firmament Sect, who had just broken through to Transformation Spirit, spat out a mouthful of blood upon hearing the news and had remained in seclusion ever since.

Other sects were even more terrified, not daring to approach within a thousand miles of the Azure Wave Sect.

When Azure Wave Sect disciples went out for experience, merely reporting their sect name would make others nod and bow, extremely respectful.

This feeling…

Was quite satisfying.

But Nether Soul knew clearly that all of this would soon become the past.

Because the main body would inevitably ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future.

Or rather, the main body intended to refine the entire mortal world into a Dao field and ascend together to the Immortal Realm.

At that time, the Azure Wave Sect would be useless.

Nether Soul opened his eyes and sighed.

Back then, why had the main body planned for the Azure Wave Sect?

First, to prevent the Azure Wave Sect from occasionally sending Foundation Establishment disciples through the teleportation array down to the mortal world to recruit disciples, interfering with the mortal world and discovering the abnormalities of the Taiyi Dao Sect.

Second, to use the Azure Wave Sect as a barrier between the mortal world and the Spirit Realm.

And now?

The teleportation array had long been dismantled by him.

That special spatial coordinate leading to the mortal world had also been completely erased by him.

Even the Tianyan Dao Sect, which once controlled this mortal world, would now be unable to find even the slightest trace.

Moreover, since the main body intended to refine the entire mortal world and bring it along, what need was there for Taiyi Dao Sect disciples to come to the Spirit Realm?

Thus, the Azure Wave Sect was now tasteless to keep, yet a pity to discard.

Nether Soul shook his head.

But looking at it from another angle, as the main body’s first External Incarnation, having such a task was already not bad.

At least it was better than the Good Body Fang Yuan.

That fellow was still in the mortal world governing the realm.

Thinking of this, Nether Soul’s mood improved greatly.

At least he did not have to worry about those trivial matters.

As for the Self Body Dragon Lord—

That fellow was quite carefree, wandering through various secret realms in the Spirit Realm every day, collecting heavenly materials and earthly treasures, occasionally even fighting others.

But Nether Soul did not envy him.

Not at all.

Causing trouble everywhere—having one like that was enough.

He, Nether Soul, only wanted to quietly be a Sect Master, occasionally showing off a bit.

That was good enough.
