His aura skyrocketed to a new level, the Celestial Immortal Fifth Realm!
At this moment, Su Mu broke through once again, shattering the bottleneck.
.....
Of course, Su Mu couldn't just sit idly by; his main goal was still cultivation.
Thus, Su Mu continued to close his eyes, no longer paying attention to the wars on the continent, and continued to study the God-Striking Treasure Technique.
....
Su Mu slowly opened his eyes, waking up, and the surrounding scene changed, returning to reality.
He had successfully comprehended the first volume of the God-Striking Treasure Technique.
Next, he could start trying to add points!
With a thought, the attribute panel appeared:
[Host: Su Mu]
[Cultivation: Celestial Immortal Fifth Realm]
[Mastered Divine Techniques: Water Control (Level 4), Swimming (Level 4)]
[Mastered Cultivation Technique: Cyan Heaven Dragon Transformation Technique (Seventh Layer), Divine Elephant Prison-Suppression Strength (Seventh Layer), Holy Abyss Technique (Tenth Layer), Nine Secrets (First Layer), God-Striking Treasure Technique (Beginner)]
[Mastered Law: Power of Spatial Rules (Level 2), Law of Light (Level 1)]
[Water Beast Tamer: Apychelodraco, World Stingray Beast, Stone Axe Beast, Chaos Golden Spirit (Fusang), Golden Heavenly Dao, Spirit of Fortune, Profound Celestial Turtle]
[River Affinity: 7%)]
[River Favor Points: 135200 points]
...
Su Mu's River Favor Points had returned to six figures again.
Last time, he gained one hundred thousand points at once, and in the following days, he received an average of seven to eight thousand daily.
As usual, the bulk was used to enhance River Affinity first.
[Favor Points -100000]
[River Affinity: 7%)]→[River Affinity: 8%)]
Just 2% more, which means two hundred thousand Favor Points, and he could break through the first major bottleneck and continue to enhance his divine techniques.
.....
[God-Striking Treasure Technique: 0 Layer (0/3000)]
It currently requires three thousand Favor Points to raise to the first layer of perfection. The cost of upgrading current cultivation techniques has also become increasingly expensive.
[Favor Points -3000]
[God-Striking Treasure Technique: 0 Layer (0/3000)]→[God-Striking Treasure Technique: 1 Layer (0/4000)]
As the treasure technique advanced, countless experiences and insights filled Su Mu's mind, and his aura strengthened once more. Having just broken through to the Celestial Immortal Fifth Realm, he now reached perfection in that realm in one fell swoop!
Striking while the iron was hot, raising it to layer 2 required only 4000 points, not as many as Su Mu had imagined.
Su Mu elevated the God-Striking Treasure Technique to the 2nd layer and also elevated the Nine Secrets to the 2nd layer.
This also directly allowed him to break through to the Celestial Immortal Sixth Realm!
Then, to reach the 3rd layer, each upgrade required ten thousand points. Su Mu only had 23200 left.
He had to reserve twenty thousand as a buffer, in case of emergencies needing a large number of Favor Points for solutions.
For instance, if the Little Black Dragon or Kong Yao were critically injured and he didn't have the Favor Points for treatment, that would be disastrous.
Therefore, Su Mu always kept at least twenty thousand Favor Points to handle unexpected situations.
.....
Unknowingly, it was already dawn.
Su Mu discovered that Little Nannan had already gotten up at some point, and the Old Cyan Ox was gone too, presumably patrolling with it.
It had to be said, Nannan was becoming increasingly sensible. Over this busy period, she never added any trouble for Su Mu and instead solved many of his concerns.
...
The Favor Points were almost spent again, and early in the morning, Su Mu went on patrol to continue earning Favor Points.
He hoped luck would be on his side today....
...
While Su Mu was patrolling the river, the Taishang Immortal Domain in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms encountered its most significant and dangerous catastrophe in history!
On a day a thousand years ago, the entire Immortal Domain of Taishang was enshrouded by a colossal array, covering the entire domain.
Moreover, this array was incredibly advanced, beyond the comprehension of anyone in Taishang, directly limiting the powers of the entire domain's cultivators, suppressing at least three-tenths of their strength!
What a terrifying array to suppress the entire Taishang Immortal Domain!
And this array couldn't possibly have been set up overnight; it needed at least thousands, if not tens of thousands of years, to lay down the formation eyes across the Taishang Immortal Domain.
Once activated, the entire Taishang plunged into darkness, and numerous spatial rifts appeared in the void.
Countless powerful cultivators emerged from these rifts!
They were the invaders!
The cultivators of Taishang Immortal Domain never expected that, despite being such a powerful Upper-Rank Immortal Realm, they would one day be "invaded"!
Throughout the history of Taishang Immortal Domain, they had always been the "invaders," conquering other Middle Lower-Rank Immortal Realms.
Yet now, they had become the invaded.
The most frightening part was that, under this array that enveloped the entire Taishang, the whole domain was like meat on a chopping board, turtles in a jar, ready to be attacked, with no way to seek external help or escape!
This war lasted only a mere thousand years, and now, a third of Taishang's territory had been entirely occupied.
A thousand years, such a brief time.
For the Taishang Immortal Domain, a thousand years seemed as short as a few hours, and in the blink of an eye, Taishang had deeply fallen.
This was a premeditated invasion, plotting to overthrow the entire Taishang in one stroke!
.....
At this moment.
In the Taishang Immortal Domain, atop a certain mountain peak, inside a nine-story wooden tower.
An old man, thin as a stick, sat at the top of the tower, staring ahead with clouded eyes full of calmness, but beneath that calmness lay suppressed panic.
At this time, a strong aura emanated from a woman in white standing behind him, watching the sky's shattering spatial negativity. Even though she had anticipated this scene, her beautiful eyes were still filled with shock.
Two thousand years ago, the ancestor foretold through the Celestial Wheel Realm the existence of a terrifying being, concluding that this entity would invade the Taishang Immortal Domain.
Their original plan was to wait for a hundred years after the ancestor's passing and then leave Taishang Immortal Domain aboard the Realm-Opening Ship, continuing the Bai family line.
But the ancestor did not fall after a hundred years; instead, he lived for another two thousand years.
Throughout those two thousand years, the Bai family had been secretly preparing their escape plans, and after those preparations had been finalized, everything was ready.
The people to take have been chosen.
....
Now, with the array trapping the entire Taishang, only the Realm-Opening Ship could escape.
To be precise, only the Bai family could escape!
"It's time to depart today..."
An aged voice rose up.
Upon hearing the words, Bai Qiuluo's face reflected sadness as she softly replied, "Ancestor, why not come with us?"
...
"I've almost stepped into reincarnation. In my final moments, I wish to witness Taishang's ultimate fate..."
"To see Taishang's end..."
The old man spoke wistfully.
"Go, do not linger or look back..."
"Go to the stronger Desolate Ancient Immortal Realm..."
"Start anew..."
