After being pierced through the chest by a leaf surrounded with Sword Qi, Chen Xuanjin’s Spiritual Power collapsed within his body. His eyes widened, and he was scared out of his wits.

He immediately emitted his Nascent Soul and fled toward the sky.

In the shaking forest, Gu An quietly watched Chen Xuanjin escape. He intentionally did not kill Chen Xuanjin; killing him would only gain him twenty or thirty years of life. It was better to let him return to intimidate the people behind him.

Even if he killed Chen Xuanjin now, someone else would take his place. It would not solve the root problem.

If he could not intimidate them and they threatened his Mystic Valley, Gu An would have to take matters into his own hands.

Under the black night, Gu An’s gaze was so cold. He turned and quickly disappeared into the forest.

Among the ruins.

Zuo Yijian struggled for a long time before he managed to stand up. He was covered in blood and dirt, looking extremely battered. He called out loudly for the seniors, but no one responded.

He had to sit cross-legged and cultivate his energy to heal on the spot.

Meanwhile, Gu An moved quickly, traveling thousands of miles before he finally stopped.

He was still hiding in the forest. He lifted his robe, sat down in front of a tree, and then summoned his attribute panel.

Seeing his over a hundred thousand years of life span, he took a deep breath.

The Void Crossing Realm’s tribulation crossing, who knew how many times he would fail.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

But he had already made up his mind. No matter how many times he failed, he must break through!

Otherwise, he would not feel secure!

First, invest ten thousand years of life span!

[You invested ten thousand years of life span into your cultivation level for evolution and cultivation.]

[You cultivated energy absorption for a hundred years. You used the Great Accomplishment of Yang Wood Primordial Skill to forcibly break through to the Unification Realm and started the tribulation crossing. You did not withstand the Five Elements God Thunder Heavenly Tribulation and failed.]

[You cultivated energy absorption for four hundred years. You used the Great Accomplishment of Yang Wood Primordial Skill to forcibly break through to the Unification Realm and started the tribulation crossing. You did not withstand the Five Elements God Thunder Heavenly Tribulation and failed.]

…

The failures began to pile up!

Every three hundred years, he attempted a tribulation crossing!

No wonder the Supreme Sect cultivated Demon Skills to break through Heavenly Destiny, this realm was truly difficult to break through.

After ten consecutive failures, Gu An’s heart began to tremble.

Is it this difficult?

He had cultivated the Infinite Traceless Mystic Heaven Step, Great Yin-Yang Transformation, and mastered two Divine Skills, yet it was still so hard to cross the tribulation?

Gu An noticed that most of his tribulations were related to the Five Elements. Could it be that his tribulations were much harder than others?

After Core Formation, Li Ya once said that tribulations are categorized. Different cultivators face different tribulations, mainly related to their aptitude and cultivation techniques.

Gu An’s eyes sharpened.

No matter how difficult it is, he must succeed!

The heavens don’t fail those who pay with life span!

[You cultivated energy absorption for five thousand four hundred years. You used the Great Accomplishment of Yang Wood Primordial Skill to forcibly break through to the Unification Realm and started the tribulation crossing. You did not withstand the Five Elements God Thunder Heavenly Tribulation and failed.]

[You cultivated energy absorption for five thousand seven hundred years. You used the Great Accomplishment of Yang Wood Primordial Skill to forcibly break through to the Unification Realm and started the tribulation crossing. You did not withstand the Five Elements God Thunder Heavenly Tribulation and failed.]

…

The failure prompts kept coming!

Gu An hurriedly checked his attribute panel, looking at his life span. He felt a bit relieved.

He still had confidence!

However, even after ten thousand years had passed, he had not succeeded.

His mentality almost broke. He hurriedly invested another twelve hundred years.

Failure!

Failure!

Failure!

Failure!

Gu An’s eyes turned red. He invested another twelve hundred years.

Failure!

Failure!

Success!

[You cultivated energy absorption for nine hundred years. You used the Great Accomplishment of Yang Wood Primordial Skill to forcibly break through to the Unification Realm and started the tribulation crossing. You withstood the Five Elements God Thunder Heavenly Tribulation and succeeded. You broke through to the first layer of the Unification Realm.]

[You cultivated energy absorption for twelve hundred years. Your cultivation level has increased.]

It was a success!

Gu An let out a long breath. It took him twelve thousand four hundred years to succeed!

Although the life span consumed by the evolution of life span surpassed real-world cultivation, he still felt the pressure.

The Unification Realm was already like this, what about the realms afterward?

But then he thought, considering his initial aptitude, reaching the Unification Realm before fifty was incredible!

It was not life span being consumed, just numbers!

Gu An adjusted his mindset, activated the life span barrier, and prepared to enjoy the improvement in his cultivation level.

Spiritual Energy began to seep out of the ground, appearing at a visible speed. In less than three breaths, the ground appeared in a cyan wave, which was wood attribute Spiritual Energy.

Spiritual Energy surged into his body, stirring up a whirlwind around him.

The momentum began to grow larger!

Gu An felt that this time’s commotion would surpass previous ones. Although it seemed like only breaking through one realm, the Spiritual Energy required for this one realm was incomparable to previous realms.

As Spiritual Energy entered his body, Gu An’s cultivation level began to rise, and at the same time, insights into the Unification Realm emerged in his mind, as if he had truly experienced years of cultivation.

…

In the Outer Gate City.

In a mansion, Chen Xuanjin’s Nascent Soul floated in front of a table. His face was gloomy, and he stared intensely at the ancient bronze mirror in front of him.

Soon, a blurry face reflected in the mirror, and a cold voice emerged: “So late, what do you want to see me about?”

“I was almost killed by the Flying Leaf Sword Immortal… and Zuo Yijian, he stopped our grand plan!” Chen Xuanjin gritted his teeth, his tone filled with unwillingness and a trace of fear.

Being pierced by that flying leaf gave Chen Xuanjin a feeling of facing death. He was extremely scared now.

He felt that if he had reacted even a little slower, he would have perished completely!

The person in the mirror fell silent upon hearing this.

Chen Xuanjin did not disturb him, quietly waiting.

After a while, Chen Xuanjin seemed to sense something, and his face changed dramatically.

“The Spiritual Energy is sinking again!”

Chen Xuanjin quickly said, looking toward the door as if afraid the Flying Leaf Sword Immortal would come for him.

“Tomorrow, I will come to the Outer Sect myself!”

The person in the mirror said, and with these words, the image in the mirror disappeared.

Chen Xuanjin turned to look outside the window. The clouds in the sky gradually covered the bright moon, as if doom was descending, making his heart even more fearful.

Not only did he feel the sinking of Spiritual Energy, but the entire Outer Gate City was also alarmed. More and more disciples flew into the sky.

Recently, Demon Cultivators ran rampant, with disciples disappearing from time to time. Tonight, with the sudden sinking of Spiritual Energy, who would not panic?

Ye Lan flew toward the Law Enforcement Hall. Along the way, she encountered Lu Jiujia flying on his sword from the opposite direction. Both stopped simultaneously.

Lu Jiujia’s face was stern. Seeing Ye Lan, he hesitated.

Ye Lan’s expression remained cold: “Is this your doing again?”

Lu Jiujia shook his head: “No, the Demon Extermination Hall has already ordered a state of vigilance. This time it might really be a Demon Cultivator invasion.”

“Really?” Ye Lan asked in a sarcastic tone.

Lu Jiujia frowned.

Ye Lan continued: “Senior Brother Lu, do you really think this path is right? They can be cruel to other disciples; are you sure they will never turn against you?”

Lu Jiujia countered: “If not this path, then what path? Like you, joining the Law Enforcement Hall that can be disbanded at any time?”

The two looked into each other’s eyes, full of conflict.

Eventually, they brushed past each other without saying more harsh words.

…

Dark clouds swirled, and a huge inverted vortex appeared in the night sky, vast and wide. The forest below undulated like waves, extremely oppressive.

In a forest, in a hidden spot where no one could see, Gu An was still sitting in meditation.

An entire hour had passed, but his cultivation level was still increasing, not yet breaking through to the Unification Realm.

The Spiritual Energy needed for the Unification Realm was truly enormous, far beyond Gu An’s expectations.

How terrifying would it be to cross the tribulation in reality at such a realm?

He suddenly felt that failing the evolutions many times did not matter. After all, in real life, failing once could mean death.

Gu An felt the surging Spiritual Power within him, unable to remain calm.

Having such massive Spiritual Power at the Unification Realm, what kind of power would a true Immortal possess?

He fell into infinite reverie.

Earth Spirit Energy frantically poured into his body, and green waves of Spiritual Energy emerged from the ground. It felt as if he was in an ocean.

Outside the life span barrier, the forest shook violently. More and more cultivators flew over Gu An’s head, but no one noticed his presence.

The effects he caused were not limited to this. Accurately, the whole Supreme Sect was affected. The forests outside all Outer Cities were shaking, causing the cultivators of Supreme Sect to feel anxious.

This was not the first time Gu An had experienced this, so he was not panicking. On the contrary, he found it somewhat amusing.

They want to cultivate Demon Skills and sacrifice Outer Disciples, let’s see how panicked they become!

Gu An was dissatisfied with the notion of sacrificing a few to save many. Not because he was particularly honorable, but because he was among those being sacrificed.

Time continued to pass.

More and more cultivators flew over Gu An’s head, and he kept using the life span detection.

More than ten Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators had passed by, and he even saw Void Crossing Realm cultivators.

Indeed, the Supreme Sect was full of hidden experts!

With more and more Void Crossing Realm cultivators passing by, Gu An even spotted an ancient ancestor.

The demeanor of the patrolling ancient ancestor was extremely strong, unlike the gentleness shown toward Gu An. The overwhelming pressure made all things tremble.

This night was destined to be restless.

Another half an hour passed, and Gu An finally broke through to the Unification Realm, transforming his entire perception.

He felt that his body and his Primordial Spirit were more in harmony. The process of his Primordial Spirit emerging from the body became much easier, and his control over both his body and Primordial Spirit had greatly improved compared to before.

This feeling was so wonderful, so much so that he could not describe it.

After reaching the Unification Realm, Gu An’s Spiritual Power also began to change, becoming stronger and more abundant.

The range of his Divine Sense increased tremendously, but he did not intentionally search, fearing he might disturb the great cultivators passing overhead.

The number of Void Crossing Realm great cultivators had already exceeded ten!

Gu An even saw a great cultivator with the Ji surname. No wonder the Ji Family dared to open a mansion in the Supreme Sect. This person had not appeared during Ji Xiaoyu’s banquet before.

A little more than half an hour later, Gu An’s Spiritual Power growth began to slow down.

This indicated that the breakthrough was near its end.

Gu An’s mind gradually calmed down.

This life span barrier already consumed more than a thousand years, but he did not feel any regret. After all, the barrier helped him avoid detection by over a hundred great cultivators.

The great cultivators he identified were at least at the Nascent Soul Realm.

And this was just one direction of the Supreme Sect. How many great cultivators would there be when counting those overseeing the other seven Outer Gate Cities?

What reassured Gu An was that he did not see any Unification Realm great cultivators for the time being.

Although this could not completely prove that the Supreme Sect did not have any Unification Realm great cultivators, it at least indicated that the Unification Realm was at the top level within the Supreme Sect.
