Chapter 715: Supreme Yuanlin

Gu An was actually An Xin’s master!

This fact left Yi Qingshan and the other four deeply shocked, unable to calm their emotions for a long time.

So, their master had always been around, secretly supporting them.

Their hearts were filled with gratitude. Cheng Meng even burst into tears.

Yi Qingshan took a deep breath. He didn’t question An Xin’s words but asked, “Can we enter Wushi to cultivate and serve the old master?”

The other four snapped back to their senses and looked at An Xin with hopeful eyes.

An Xin smiled and said, “This isn’t something I can decide. I have to ask my master. First, take care of the affairs of Qiankun Sect. Once you enter Wushi, it won’t be easy to come back out.”

Yi Qingshan and the others naturally understood this. They quickly agreed, promising to settle all the matters of Qiankun Sect.

At the same time.

Inside Wushi Dao Field, Gu An was picking mature herbs, with the Ephemeral Blossom Ghost Mother following behind.

Suddenly, a series of prompts appeared before Gu An:

【Your lifespan has surpassed one hundred trillion years for the first time. Lifespan features will now upgrade randomly】

【Your Lifespan Barrier function has been upgraded】

【Lifespan Barrier upgrade successful】

【Lifespan Barrier: Consumes lifespan to activate the barrier, blocking all prying, sensing, and divination. The lifespan consumed is based on your cultivation aura and the required spiritual energy. The range of the lifespan barrier can be freely controlled】

As expected, a function upgrade. Upgrading to Lifespan Barrier was actually a good thing.

Gu An had long felt the old Lifespan Barrier was too small. Now, he didn’t know how large the new barrier could extend or how much lifespan it would consume.

More importantly, he could now prepare for a breakthrough!

Gu An didn’t stop his work and kept picking herbs. Only after he finished harvesting this entire medicinal garden did he stop.

All the harvested herbs were collected by the Ephemeral Blossom Ghost Mother.

Seeing him finish, the Ephemeral Blossom Ghost Mother couldn’t help but sigh, “Master, what I admire most about you is your perseverance. Whether it's writing, painting, or picking herbs, you’ve stuck to it for so many years. Watching you pick herbs, every move of yours feels profound, filled with the principles of the Dao.”

Gu An couldn’t help but laugh, “Your flattery has reached perfection.”

“I’m not flattering you, I really mean it,” the Ephemeral Blossom Ghost Mother said seriously.

After living together for over one million years, she knew Gu An wasn’t a strict person, so she dared to speak her mind.

“The Dao is everywhere. If you persist in anything, you can feel the Dao. The Hunyuan Dao Emperor’s path is about sensing the Dao in nature. There’s no need for slaughter. Quiet your heart and truly feel everything around you, that’s what’s important.”

Gu An spoke earnestly. He wasn’t just talking nonsense. The Dao really was everywhere, and within Wushi Dao Field, it was infused with his Dao intent, making it easier to comprehend the Dao here.

The Ephemeral Blossom Ghost Mother nodded, “I’ve been working hard to comprehend the Dao too. I haven’t neglected my cultivation.”

“Even though you joined me not out of goodwill at first, over the years, I’ve seen your dedication. You should also feel that I’ve treated you like a disciple, right?” Gu An said as he stretched.

The Ephemeral Blossom Ghost Mother quickly nodded, “I’ve always seen the kindness Master has shown me.”

Over the past million years, she had taken charge of all herb cultivation, while third-generation disciples could only assist her. These honors made her realize that Gu An truly valued her, proving her efforts had moved him.

The two of them walked forward, chatting casually along the way. The Ephemeral Blossom Ghost Mother cherished moments like this.

After half an hour, Gu An finally left Wushi Dao Field alone.

He walked through the forest at the edge of Qiankun Sect, silently activating the Lifespan Breakthrough.

【You have activated the Lifespan Breakthrough function. Based on your current cultivation realm, the following breakthrough locations have been selected for you】

【Option 1: Path of the Grand Dao】

【Option 2: War Spirit Sacred Palace】

【Option 3: Hongmeng Great World】

【Option 4: Desolation Domain】

【Option 5: Nine Hong Grand Realm】

【Option 6: Endless Dao Mountain】

【Option 7: Boundless Yin-Yang Inversion Realm】

【Option 8: The Final End】

【Option 9: Supreme Yuanlin】

Some of these places had appeared before, some he was seeing for the first time—completely unheard of.

Gu An first thought about the Path of the Grand Dao, War Spirit Sacred Palace, Hongmeng Great World, and Endless Dao Mountain. The depths of these places were truly terrifying, capable of nurturing existences beyond the Dao Extreme Grand Luo Immortal Realm.

A regular grand world couldn’t withstand his breakthrough. Now, he could already feel how fragile Tianling Great World was. If he sneezed too hard, it would probably shatter.

Not just the ground beneath his feet, but the whole universe couldn’t handle his power.

After thinking it over, Gu An decided to go somewhere he hadn’t been before. Anyway, the Lifespan Breakthrough would teleport him safely.

His eyes fell on the ninth option. Supreme Yuanlin had shown up before, so he could check it out.

Boundless Yin-Yang Inversion Realm and The Final End sounded too dangerous and eerie—better not to test them.

Gu An made up his mind.

【Teleporting to Supreme Yuanlin will cost 10,000,000,000 years of lifespan. Proceed?】

Proceed!

Gu An confirmed his choice, and his figure vanished on the spot.

...

After a long, familiar sense of weightlessness, Gu An opened his eyes. He immediately activated his Lifespan Barrier, then began to observe his surroundings.

He stood atop a vast sea of silver-blue qi. Ahead were towering silver trees, each unimaginably huge—the narrowest among them had a trunk more than a thousand zhang thick. In the distance, some trees even had trunks over ten million li, even hundreds of millions of li wide. In front of these giants, everything seemed tiny.

These silver trees were strange, shrouded in various Grand Dao laws, and some even bore fruits. Those fruits were transparent, each containing worlds, realms, entire heavens and earths.

He could even sense the breath of living beings within.

Worlds like this were countless, more numerous than the stars beyond Tianling Great World.

This was Supreme Yuanlin!

Gu An looked down. Though the silver-blue qi sea beneath his feet felt like solid ground, it actually covered a vast area below, boundless and bottomless, like another great heaven and earth.

He looked more closely and saw countless soul-like beings wandering in the depths—some human, some demonic, all kinds of shapes and forms.

Moreover, the Grand Dao spirit energy here was extremely rich and unique. He had never felt such fresh and pure energy before.

He looked up again, gazing at the source trees in every direction. This mysterious, majestic forest contained a special Grand Dao mystery.

Each tree seemed like a part of some enormous formation.

Supreme Yuanlin was no ordinary place!

Gu An didn’t dwell on it. He focused on the Lifespan Barrier.

After the upgrade, he could now enter a macro-control vision of the Lifespan Barrier with his mind, expanding it through thought alone.

The expansion seemed limitless!
