I Secretly Cultivate Immortality in the Martial Arts World
Chapter 105 ·Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven
As the sun and moon cycled, another spring passed; twenty years flowed like water.
Gu Yan opened his eyes, divine light restrained within his gaze, his aura several degrees more profound than twenty years ago.
Human Immortal Fourth Layer.
Achieved.
This layer had taken twenty years.
Roughly the same time as breaking from Second Layer to Third Layer.
During these twenty years, although his cultivation had only advanced by one layer, quite a few things had happened in the world.
First was the Nine-Revolution Reincarnation Immortal Lotus in his cave abode.
That lotus was entirely crimson, growing ever more radiant over the years.
And the tiny infant-like red lotus at its center had finally grown up.
From a little speck back then, it had now become a child of about five years old.
And unexpectedly, it was a little girl, not a boy.
Gu Yan had not interfered.
He wondered how this little girl would feel in the future when she recovered her memories and discovered that this lifetime she had become female.
The little girl Red Lotus was exquisitely carved like jade, with striking red hair.
She ran barefoot all day across Longevity Peak.
Naturally, Gu Yan could not be bothered to take care of her.
He needed to cultivate.
So he handed Red Lotus over to his grand-niece Hu Tao.
Hu Tao was now also an elderly Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Yet her temperament was still like that of a young girl, running around the sect all day.
Teasing this junior today, playing tricks on that disciple tomorrow, causing chaos throughout Taiyi Dao Sect.
Handing Red Lotus to her was also a way to give her something to do.
So she would not keep causing mischief everywhere.
......
There had also been changes in the Spirit Realm.
The forces of the Southern Region had finally expanded into the Eastern Continent.
Over these twenty years, countless battles, large and small, had been fought.
Both sides had victories and losses, yet no full-scale war had erupted.
That demonic overlord from the Southern Region seemed to have some reservations and was not rushing for quick success.
Nether Soul enjoyed his leisure, continuing to eat, drink, and wander through brothels in the Eastern Continent, not in a hurry to act.
......
On this day, Gu Yan was cultivating in his cave abode.
【Entry “Fortune-Blessed Immortal Lord · Red” effect triggered. You have obtained “Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven.”】
【Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven: A primordial grotto heaven born at the beginning of chaos, evolved through endless ages.
This grotto heaven forms its own world, containing sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, rare treasures, and exotic beasts. Its laws are complete, its cycles self-sustaining.】
【As the master of the grotto heaven, you possess the highest authority over this world. You may create at will any existence not exceeding your own cultivation level. Creations require consumption of your immortal essence, fate, or corresponding cost.】
【This grotto heaven can contain up to three Great Thousand Worlds. That is, you may incorporate up to three complete worlds into it as part of the grotto heaven.】
Gu Yan was slightly stunned, then revealed a hint of surprise.
It had only been twenty years since he obtained something as good as the World Tree seed.
And now another had appeared!
After reading what it was, Gu Yan froze.
Three Great Thousand Worlds?
From another perspective, did that not mean he could also store the entire mortal world he currently inhabited inside it?
Gu Yan took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.
Fortune-Blessed Immortal Lord… you really know how to surprise me.
As he was thinking, something suddenly appeared in his hand.
It was a jade talisman.
The talisman was of a chaotic hue.
The moment it appeared, it directly merged into Gu Yan’s body, binding with his primordial spirit.
At the same time, a realization emerged in his mind.
This Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven—
Had formed a linkage with his Entry, Body Without Self and Form · Red.
Body Without Self and Form could prevent even the Great Dao and Heavenly Dao from perceiving his existence.
And this grotto heaven, as his natal grotto heaven, inherited the same trait.
In other words, whether he placed the entire mortal world inside it, or the entire sect, it would not attract the attention of Heavenly Dao.
Because in the eyes of Heavenly Dao, all of it did not exist.
Or rather, it existed—but could not be seen.
Gu Yan nodded slightly.
That was an unexpected delight.
With a thought, his entire figure disappeared from the cave abode.
......
Within the Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven!
Gu Yan appeared out of thin air, standing in the void.
He looked around. What met his eyes was a vast and boundless world.
In the sky were the sun, the moon, and countless stars, moving along mysterious trajectories.
On the ground were mountains, rivers, plains, lakes, waterfalls, and deep valleys.
In the distance, exotic beasts roamed, spiritual birds soared in the sky, and fish swam playfully in the waters.
Everything was filled with vitality.
Gu Yan looked up at the sky, then down at the earth, his divine sense sweeping across the entire grotto heaven.
It was large.
Extremely large.
Far larger than the mortal world he inhabited, even surpassing the Spirit Realm.
And the spiritual energy here...
Gu Yan sensed carefully.
It was Acquired Spiritual Energy.
Though it could not compare to the environment of Longevity Peak enhanced by heavenly treasures, it was far richer than the overall mortal world.
If ordinary cultivators cultivated here, their speed would increase by at least thirty percent.
Gu Yan looked into the distance.
There stood a heavenly palace.
The palace floated above a sea of clouds, vast beyond sight.
Halls and pavilions layered upon one another, with soaring eaves and ornate carvings, magnificent and grand.
Gu Yan stepped forward, arriving at the main gate of the palace.
Above the gate hung a massive plaque, blank.
After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand, and two ancient characters appeared upon it—Longevity.
Gu Yan stepped into the heavenly palace.
Main hall, side halls, rear halls, sleeping quarters, council hall, Scripture Pavilion, alchemy room, martial arena...
Everything was complete.
And every hall was empty, without a single figure.
After walking around, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
This place was excellent.
Far larger than his cave abode on Longevity Peak.
Most importantly—it was safe.
After pondering for a moment, Gu Yan made a decision.
With a single step, he left the grotto heaven and returned to Taiyi Dao Sect.
......
Moments later, a voice echoed throughout the entire Taiyi Dao Sect:
“All disciples, remain in your positions. Do not panic.”
The tens of thousands of disciples were all stunned.
This was… the voice of Longevity Dao Lord?
Before they could react, a vast force enveloped the entire Taiyi Dao Sect.
Mountain gates, plazas, halls, pavilions, cave abodes, medicinal fields...
Every blade of grass, every brick and tile, along with the entire mountain where the sect was located, was wrapped in that force.
Heaven and earth spun.
Some disciples cried out in alarm, only to be restrained by their senior brothers.
“Don’t panic! It’s Dao Lord!”
“If Dao Lord is acting, nothing will happen!”
They looked up, only to find that the sky above had changed.
No longer the familiar blue sky and white clouds, but… a vast starry expanse.
Stars revolved, sun and moon shone together.
Countless lights intertwined in the void, as if a supreme force were reshaping heaven and earth.
No one knew how long passed.
Perhaps only an instant, perhaps a long time.
When the spinning sensation faded, everyone in Taiyi Dao Sect saw a scene they would never forget.
Their mountain gate now rested upon a sea of clouds.
The cloud sea surged endlessly.
And within the depths of that sea of clouds, a majestic heavenly palace stood silently.
The sheer size of the palace defied imagination.
Halls and pavilions stretched endlessly for tens of thousands of miles.
Radiant light shone from the eaves, auspicious energy flowed across carved beams.
Magnificent beyond compare.
As if the legendary Heavenly Court had descended to the mortal world.
Everyone was stunned.
Some disciples rubbed their eyes, thinking they had seen wrongly.
Some elders opened their mouths but could not speak.
Even the usually unshakable Supreme Elders widened their eyes in shock.
Where… was this?
At that moment, a figure appeared above the main gate of the heavenly palace.
That figure wore a dark Daoist robe, standing with hands behind his back.
No pressure radiated from him, yet all felt instinctive reverence.
Longevity Dao Lord—Gu Yan.
Looking at the tens of thousands of faces below—some shocked, some confused, some reverent—Gu Yan smiled faintly and said:
“This place is a grotto heaven opened by me—Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven!”
“From today onward, Taiyi Dao Sect shall reside within this Heavenly Palace.”
“Within that palace are countless halls, all facilities complete. As for allocation, Sect Master Daoist Xuanqing and Supreme Elder Yunchenzi shall discuss and arrange it.”
“I will only occupy one hall—the highest one behind the main hall.”
“This world has complete laws and abundant spiritual energy, far surpassing the outside. You must cultivate diligently here and not waste my efforts.”
As his voice fell, silence filled the space below.
Moments later—
“Dao Lord is wise!”
No one knew who shouted first, but soon a tsunami of voices roared across the cloud sea:
“Dao Lord is wise!”
“Dao Lord is wise!”
Tens of thousands bowed in unison, their voices filled with reverence and gratitude.
Sect Master Daoist Xuanqing stood at the forefront, bowing deeply, his eyes slightly red.
He recalled how he had once been merely a mortal martial artist.
And yet the sect had somehow encountered immense fortune, producing Gu Yan, such an Immortal Lord.
From then on, the entire Taiyi Dao Sect had embarked on the path of immortality.
He had thought living for thousands of years was already a supreme blessing.
Who could have imagined that one day he would arrive at such a place?
Supreme Elder Yunchenzi also bowed, filled with emotion.
He too had risen from a mortal martial artist.
And now?
He was a Nascent Soul cultivator, had lived for centuries, and now resided in the Heavenly Palace.
All of this—
Was because of that one person.
That Longevity Dao Lord standing in the void.
Gu Yan listened to the waves of praise below, his expression calm as he nodded slightly.
Turning around, he stepped forward and arrived behind the main hall of the heavenly palace.
There stood the highest palace, located at the very core of the entire complex.
Before the hall was an open expanse.
On the left, the Nine Qi Returning to Origin Tree stood quietly.
On the right, the Illusory Dao Seed of Chaos Planting a Green Lotus.
At the center—
Was the still-growing Eternal World Tree of the Eternal Night Sovereign.
