"We're returning to the Human Race Holy Land!"
With the Four Seasons Sequence complete, Gu Xi knew the time had come to advance to Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Thus, he immediately led Kui Niu Demon God and the other sixteen Golden Immortals back to Five Elements Mountain at full speed.
After Gu Xi left, several vast streams of Divine Sense descended upon the place where he had just been.
Those streams of Divine Sense lingered for a while. Only after confirming that they had found nothing did they slowly withdraw.
After returning to the Human Sacred Hall, Gu Xi immediately informed Suiren Shi and the other Human Race experts that he was about to challenge the Great Luo Realm and told them to come to Five Elements Mountain.
When a living being challenged the Great Luo Realm, the corresponding Great Dao would directly manifest between heaven and earth.
Being able to gaze directly upon the Great Dao was an immense opportunity for beings below the Great Luo Realm.
That was precisely why Gu Xi intended to return to the Human Race Holy Land to make his breakthrough.
If there were benefits to be had, naturally he would give them to his own people.
"What? The Holy Father is going to challenge Great Luo Golden Immortal?"
"Quick, quick, quick! Everyone above the Earth Immortal Realm, gather at once and follow me to Five Elements Mountain!"
"Oh, and keep the operation low-key. Do not leak any information, lest God and Demon Dao Lords come to obstruct the path."
After receiving the news, Suiren Shi, Ziyi Shi, Youchao Shi, and the others were all overjoyed.
They immediately and secretly led the many Human Race experts above the Earth Immortal Realm to Five Elements Mountain.
After arriving at Five Elements Mountain, they immediately joined the sixteen Golden Immortals who had returned with Gu Xi in setting up formations around the mountain to protect Gu Xi's Dao.
After returning to the Human Sacred Hall, Gu Xi did not make his breakthrough immediately. Instead, he calmed his mind for a month.
Only after his state of mind had completely settled did he suddenly open his eyes.
"Today!"
"Right now!"
"I will advance to Great Luo!"
Gu Xi muttered to himself, and his figure instantly appeared above Five Elements Mountain.
He took one step forward, shattering the void!
Only a faint figure stepped into the unseen laws of heaven and earth.
Midair, his body paused slightly. With a thunderous boom, divine power fluctuations as vast as an ocean shattered the void and spread outward.
At this moment, two Great Dao Phantoms simultaneously extended from his body, reaching deep into the depths of time and space.
However, under Gu Xi's deliberate control, the two Great Dao Phantoms merged into one.
The phantom of the Primordial Merit Great Dao lay within.
The phantom of the Four Seasons Sequence Great Dao enveloped it from without.
Thus, to outsiders, there appeared to be only one Great Dao Phantom.
As the two overlapping Great Dao Phantoms extended into the depths of time and space, the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy across the East Sea Coast and the surrounding regions instantly boiled over.
Endless torrents of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy surged madly into Gu Xi's body.
Within the Primordial Starry Sky, the countless stars trembled as well.
Vast Star Power poured down like a divine waterfall from the Nine Heavens, falling upon Gu Xi.
"BOOM!!!"
At that moment, Gu Xi instinctively revealed the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Undying Body.
Billions upon billions of Law Dao Patterns rose and fell across the surface of his body.
The Profound Yellow Divine Light, impervious to all evil, illuminated the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
Countless Profound Yellow Auspicious Clouds appeared within hundreds of thousands of miles around Five Elements Mountain.
At the same time, the two Great Dao Phantoms extending from above his head suddenly became tangible.
The Primordial Merit Great Dao and the Four Seasons Sequence Great Dao truly manifested.
At that moment, the Primordial Merit Dao Embryo and the Four Seasons Sequence Dao Embryo burst from atop Gu Xi's head together.
Following the two materialized Great Daos, they rushed into the Origin of the Great Dao deep within boundless time and space.
The two Dao Embryos frantically devoured the power of the Origin of the Great Dao and countless Law Runes in the depths of time and space.
The two Dao Embryos slowly transformed into two resplendent Dao Fruits that seemed to have undergone billions upon billions of carvings.
The two Dao Fruits rested against one another, simultaneously radiating immortal brilliance that shone throughout the Myriad Worlds.
Vast pressure surged out from the depths of time and space, spreading across all of Hong Huang.
Flowers rained down from the heavens, while golden lotuses sprang from the earth.
Boundless divine power roared like a tidal wave.
At this moment, gods and demons from every great Forces could sense the immense pressure emanating from Gu Xi!
A wheel of brilliance appeared alongside the River of Destiny.
That wheel of brilliance was about to transform into a blazing sun and transcend the River of Destiny.
Then it radiated Golden Immortal Dao Rhyme that would never fade or regress, eternal and indestructible!
"Condensing a Dao Fruit and transcending the River of Destiny—another Great Luo Golden Immortal has been born!"
Across Hong Huang, countless gods and demons stared solemnly at this sight, their expressions complicated.
To transcend the River of Destiny and advance to Great Luo Golden Immortal—
That was the pursuit of countless gods and demons, yet only a handful could ultimately achieve it.
"The Human Race Holy Land? Gu Xi, the Human Race Holy Father?"
Within the Thirty-Three Heavens, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi watched the direction of the Human Race Holy Land with gloomy expressions in the Demon Race Heavenly Court.
After suffering such a great loss at Gu Xi's hands last time, they naturally would not simply let the matter rest.
Over the years, they had been analyzing the reason behind the appearance of the divine lightning.
As well as methods to deal with Gu Xi.
They had vaguely developed some ideas.
But Gu Xi's cultivation speed was simply too fast.
Before they could make a move against Gu Xi, he had already advanced to Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Great Luo Golden Immortal and Grand Unity Golden Immortal were completely different.
Great Luo Golden Immortals transcended the River of Destiny and were untouched by karma.
If a Great Luo Golden Immortal deliberately hid himself, even Saints would find it difficult to calculate his location, much less kill him.
"So what if he has advanced to Great Luo Golden Immortal?"
"He is the Human Race Holy Father. He cannot possibly abandon the Human Race, can he?"
"As long as he cares about the Human Race, we have plenty of ways to deal with him."
Donghuang Taiyi sneered coldly, killing intent congealing in his eyes.
The Chaos Divine Thunder Gu Xi had "summoned" last time had struck him until he vomited blood, forcing him to flee in humiliation.
It had made him, the Demon Emperor, lose all face before the many Great Supernatural Beings of Hong Huang.
If he did not avenge this grudge, then he was not Donghuang Taiyi.
"Indeed. As long as he cares about the Human Race, we have ways to deal with him!"
Di Jun nodded coldly.
Witch Race!
Pangu Sacred Hall!
"Damn it! That Human Race Holy Father, Gu Xi, has actually advanced to Great Luo Golden Immortal."
After the Twelve Ancestral Witches sensed Gu Xi's advancement to Great Luo Golden Immortal, their reaction was not much better than Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi's.
Ju Mang, Zhu Rong, Ru Shou, and Xuan Ming in particular had expressions so gloomy that water could nearly drip from them.
"Sigh, I keep feeling that Gu Xi will achieve something extraordinarily great in the future. Our Witch Race should stop provoking him."
Houtu frowned and spoke softly.
On Kunlun Mountain, the Three Pure Ones opened their divine eyes and looked at the excessively dazzling "sun" deep within the River of Destiny, their expressions grave.
"Gu Xi's Great Luo Dao Fruit is far too dazzling. It feels extremely unusual!"
Laozi said hesitantly.
"Yes. It is not as though we have never witnessed other gods and demons advance to Great Luo Golden Immortal, but whether in pressure or the immortal brilliance they emit, their Great Luo Dao Fruits are far inferior to this 'single' Dao Fruit of Gu Xi's."
Yuanshi wore an equally astonished expression.
"Strange, strange! I cannot see through it!"
Tongtian shook his head.
Purple Mansion Continent.
East King Duke and West Queen Mother also stared in shock toward the Human Sacred Hall.
"This Gu Xi cultivates far too quickly!"
"How many years has it even been? He has already advanced to Great Luo Golden Immortal?"
East King Duke and West Queen Mother looked at one another in silence.
Both had suffered a blow.
One was formed from the Supreme Truth Qi of East Hua, while the other was formed from the Supreme Wonderful Qi of Xi Hua. Both possessed the foundations of Innate Divine Saints.
Yet it had taken them more than a billion years to cultivate to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
They simply could not understand how someone like Gu Xi, who had been born for only a little over twenty-three thousand years, had already cultivated to Great Luo Golden Immortal.
"If only Gu Xi were a member of our Purple Mansion Immortal Court."
"Unfortunately, he has offended both the Witch Race and the Demon Race Heavenly Court. He is not suitable for recruitment!"
East King Duke let out an incomparably regretful sigh.
West Queen Mother merely smiled without saying anything.
In her heart, someone like Gu Xi was surely proud and arrogant. He could never submit to another, so even if East King Duke recruited him, it would be useless.
In the deepest reaches of the East Sea.
One towering crimson figure, like an Ancient Mountain Range.
And an Exotic Divine Dragon with five-colored divine wings.
At this moment, they both raised their heads toward the Human Sacred Hall.
"Hahaha, Second Brother, it seems your decision was correct. Fellow Daoist Gu Xi has advanced to Great Luo Golden Immortal so quickly."
"It seems that before long, he may be able to advance to Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerate."
Ying Long laughed heartily.
A trace of delight also appeared in the enormous sun-like crimson eyes of that towering red figure.
"Since Gu Xi has attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit, he should begin preparing to Slash the Three Corpses. Go to the Human Race and pass on the specific methods and experience of Slashing the Three Corpses to him."
A booming voice came from the towering figure.
"Understood. I shall represent our Dragon Clan and congratulate Fellow Daoist Gu Xi on advancing to Great Luo Golden Immortal."
As Ying Long spoke, his figure instantly vanished.
"Hahaha, the Holy Father has successfully advanced to Great Luo Golden Immortal!"
"From now on, our Human Race also has a God and Demon Dao Lord overseeing us. We can truly be called a powerful race of Hong Huang!"
Suiren Shi and the others awoke one after another from comprehending the Great Dao. Before they could even sort through their gains, they had already fallen into jubilant celebration.
God and Demon Dao Lords were the true Great Supernatural Beings of Hong Huang.
Such existences were not comparable to Primordial Great Sages.
Only such beings were qualified to suppress the fortune of an entire race.
Golden Immortals were immortal, capable of containing the Great Dao Dao Fruit, their divine might boundless.
Within the boundless divine light, Gu Xi's figure reappeared from the void.
A surging pressure belonging to a God and Demon Dao Lord spread throughout the East Sea Coast. Like invisible ripples, it continued to spread toward regions beyond the East Sea Coast, causing countless living beings and gods and demons to kneel upon the ground.
"Two Dao Fruits conceal one another. The brilliance of the Four Seasons Sequence Dao Fruit has wrapped around the brilliance of the Primordial Merit Dao Fruit... The other gods and demons should not have discovered the existence of the Primordial Merit Dao Fruit."
Gu Xi murmured, an unfathomably profound and mysterious Dao Rhyme permeating his body.
Countless Primordial Merit Great Dao Patterns and Four Seasons Sequence Great Dao Patterns emerged upon his robes.
However, under Gu Xi's deliberate control, the latter Dao Patterns quickly concealed the former.
At this moment, every strand of Magic Power in his gestures contained the brilliance of the Great Dao.
Gu Xi faintly sensed this power and found it truly terrifying.
It stood far above the power of Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
Grand Unity Golden Immortals did not even qualify to be compared with it.
"After more than twenty-three thousand years since crossing into Hong Huang, I have finally advanced to Great Luo!"
A faint smile appeared on Gu Xi's face.
