Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Chapter 658: Chapter 650: Causeless Realm

As Gu An completed the formation of forty-nine Dao Extreme Patterns, his consciousness awoke from the state of enlightenment, and he could feel an earth-shattering transformation within himself.

He had transformed into a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal!

Within the barrier was filled with the intense light of the Great Dao, and outside, the dark celestial vault gleamed with purple-red iridescence, both bewitching and terrifying.

Gu An could sense that the number of cultivators alarmed by this exceeded a hundred thousand, and it was still rising.

Nearby, there were also a few Dao Mountains where the presence of cultivators emerged, but compared to the Endless Dao Mountain, these figures were far less numerous than the number of Dao Mountains.

After attaining the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal, Gu An’s divine sense also underwent a qualitative change.

He could feel the end of the Endless Dao Mountain.

At this moment, new Dao Mountains were still forming on the fringes, continuously expanding this world.

The distant end he could see was beyond the reach of even Miao Zhen Daluo Immortal, and with the ongoing birth of Dao Mountains, the name Endless Dao Mountain was truly deserving.

Before his breakthrough, the speculation was correct: there indeed existed several Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals in the Endless Dao Mountain; their Dao Mountains stood as the tallest among them, while the Dao Mountain beneath Gu An’s feet was like a small hill before Mt. Tai in comparison, and the Dao Intent contained in those massive Dao Mountains was majestic.

Even the most mediocre mortal spirit could ascend to immortality while residing on such Dao Mountains.

Furthermore, Gu An also felt various Heavenly Court destinies here, similar to the destinies of the Celestial Spirit God and the Seventy-Two Immortals of the Golden Cave, even possessing the destiny of a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal.

Gu An had a sense of engaging with a high-level map, becoming even more interested in the Endless Dao Mountain.

The breakthrough was not yet over; his cultivation level continued to rise, and the anomaly brought to the Endless Dao Mountain began to wane.

The elusive Dao Rules writhed like a startled swarm of dragons, and the terrifying might of the Dao caused the supposedly unshakable Dao Mountains to tremble.

Gu An summoned his attribute panel to examine.

During the breakthrough process, the Life Span Barrier consumed three trillion years of life span, which was not a small number.

Gu An continued to invest his life span into his cultivation level.

Any breakthrough was worth it.

Soon, he once again seized the opportunity for a breakthrough.

Consuming eight hundred million years of life span, he advanced to the mid-stage of the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal Realm.

The Dao Rules in the world once again raged violently, intertwining heavenly thunders that could destroy the Great Thousand World, shifting colors, magnificent, and mysterious; this beauty cannot mask their dangerous aura.

From the early to mid-stage of a Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal, Gu An didn’t need to immerse himself in inheritance; he began to observe the Endless Dao Mountain.

Attaining Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal, his ability of deduction also rapidly strengthened.

He no longer needed to cast spells or use divine skills or the power of the Great Dao; he only needed to think to reach the answer.

His gaze swept across, and answers continuously emerged in his mind.

The Endless Dao Mountain, a Holy Land of cultivation above all heavens, almost every cultivator who comes here has a significant background.

The reason why those figures were shrouded in mysterious black and gray auras was not of their own doing, but because of the protective power of the rules of the Endless Dao Mountain. As long as they stepped into this place, they would be enveloped by the power of the rules, preventing deduction.

The Endless Dao Mountain is unowned, and Immortal Gods, Human Demons, and Demon Evils may all come to seek enlightenment; combat is not allowed here, even Immortal Gods must abide by the rules.

Gu An also found a place from where he could leave the Endless Dao Mountain; different places lead to different cosmic planes, some emanating an aura making him wary to explore.

He even suspected that a certain place might connect to the Celestial Court.

Whatever he wanted to understand, he could get an answer, unless it involved a power higher than his own.

This was no longer mere deduction but a higher-tier power, a power that could only be unlocked by reaching Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal.

Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal, nearly immortal, omniscient, and omnipotent, truly the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao!

While enjoying the improvement of his cultivation level, Gu An’s gaze swept over, gaining a deeper and deeper understanding of the Endless Dao Mountain.

He decided to return and have a look sometime later.

Although he could not yet determine how far the Endless Dao Mountain was from the Celestial Spirit Great World, he could leave a mark and trace this realm from the Celestial Spirit Great World.

Time flowed swiftly.

Those existing at the summit of the Endless Dao Mountain merely observed silently, with no one choosing to flee this world, thus the Endless Dao Mountain did not descend into chaos, and no one arrived at the Dao Mountain where Gu An resided.

Ultimately, by the time Gu An reached the mid-stage of the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal Realm, no one invaded the Dao Mountain where he was located.

He looked at his attribute panel; nine hundred billion years of life span remained.

He could not break through again!

Gu An took a deep breath, stood up, and chose to teleport back.

Immediately after, he disappeared from where he stood.

The anomaly of the Endless Dao Mountain had not yet completely dissipated, but the heavenly thunders in the sky gradually thinned, and the sound also diminished.

…

At dusk.

Daoist Field of the Beginningless.

Gu An leisurely continued along the mountain path, after half a day’s search, his divine sense had locked onto the Endless Dao Mountain.

When returning to the Endless Dao Mountain in the future, there is no need to use life span for breakthroughs again.

Actually, while coming back, he could rely on himself to return; however, considering the presence of Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals and Heavenly Court Immortals at the Endless Dao Mountain, he decided to proceed with caution.

Using ten billion years of life span to ensure safety!

No matter how high the realm is, caution is needed, especially when facing beings of the same realm.

Gu An was in a pleasant mood; after reaching the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortal, he could see further, and the future heavens’ calamities were all within his sight, posing no threat to him.

He arrived at the courtyard, and his gaze turned towards Shen Zhen in front of the Artifact Refining Cauldron.

He peered into the causal connection to Fairy Yao Xuan within Shen Zhen, seeing a line connecting to the Outer Heaven.

He looked up, following that line across countless worlds and universes, and he saw an absolutely black void.

Fairy Yao Xuan’s soul was hidden in that void.

Moreover, there were other souls there, countless in number, all of whom were exiled by the Path of Cause and Effect; there were existences of all realms, even Daluo Immortals, all immobilized and in slumber.

Causeless Realm!

Gu An’s mind received the name of that void, and his brows furrowed.

He could feel the threat of the Causeless Realm, which harbored extremely terrifying power.

Despite being a place of exile by the Path of Cause and Effect, it seemed there existed a will in this realm capable of free action, more frightening than the Dao Extreme Daluo Immortals of the Endless Dao Mountain.

It seems rescuing Fairy Yao Xuan is not yet possible.

Gu An silently withdrew his gaze, not in a hurry.

Judging by Fairy Yao Xuan’s current state, she wasn’t suffering; her consciousness had already fallen asleep, losing the concept of time, as long as he saved her before her soul dissipated, it wouldn’t matter how much time passed in between, making no difference to her.

Shen Zhen seemed to sense Gu An’s gaze, turning her head to look.

Upon seeing Gu An, her expression changed slightly, and she appeared a bit dazed.

Although Gu An’s appearance, temperament, and aura hadn’t changed in the slightest, her intuition told her he had grown stronger again!
