I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Gu Yuan felt a chill in his heart, an unprecedented sense of crisis surged within him, causing his spirit to tremble. Not daring to slacken, he began to activate the Dragon Essence Golden Core.

If the opponent made any move, he would immediately employ the Dragon Transformation Technique.

"Just recently broke through to the Early Stage Golden Core a few decades ago, yet possesses such techniques. Truly, a promising youth!"

Leng Hanfeng sighed deeply, then reached out to grab at Gu Yuan.

"Boom!!"

Without any visible movement, between heaven and earth, spiritual energy suddenly surged as if a terrifying demon apparition was forming behind him.

The demon apparition was hidden within the heaven and earth, towering a thousand feet high, seemingly filling the celestial vault. Its scarlet eyes were like blood-red stars, gazing down at Gu Yuan.

Leng Hanfeng reached out to capture Gu Yuan, and simultaneously, the thousand-foot demon apparition also extended its hand. The enormous demon palm covered the sky, like the celestial vault falling, seizing the heavens.

The demon palm spanned the sky, spiritual energy surged, and a massive sense of crisis instantly filled Gu Yuan’s mind, making him feel more frightened than when he faced the Golden Core during his Foundation Establishment years!

Mana surged, the Golden Core spun, and Gu Yuan could no longer afford distractions.

"Old Ghost, you dare!!"

Just then, a thick voice of reprimand sounded from the distant void.

Immediately, within a radius of a thousand miles, torrential rain poured down as if the celestial vault had split open, cascading down in boundless waves.

Within the misty water vapor, a colossal phantom of a Kun Beast gradually appeared.

The Kun tail swung, and in a trance, a boundless sea wave emerged from thin air, carrying a force to obliterate everything, crashing fiercely towards the demon palm in the sky.

Boom!!!

The void trembled, as if two prehistoric fierce beasts were engaging in combat, with massive spiritual energy waves sweeping all directions, directly shattering the grand array’s cloud platform.

"Zheng!!"

Suddenly, a terrifying sword light came rapidly from beyond the celestial vault.

The sharpness of the sword light was indescribable, causing Gu Yuan to perceive a sudden flash across the heavens, and then the widespread black clouds completely dispersed.

Putting so much hope in Master Black Flame, wishing to shift the Seven Profound Star Extreme Array of Vast Sea Sect, was directly cut apart with one sword!

"Old Ghost, you dare touch my people!"

A cold and elegant voice came from beyond the horizon, and then a girl wearing a veil, dressed in a cyan Daoist robe, with only a pair of pink eyes exposed, united with her sword, and flew through the void, instantly landing in front of Gu Yuan.

"Senior Sister!"

Gu Yuan felt relieved and no longer activated the Golden Core, calling out joyously to the girl in front of him.

"Fear not!"

Sword Fox Immortal turned around, her pink eyes showing concern, softly speaking to him.

"Old Ghost, I’ve only been away from the South Mountain Domain for a few decades, and you’re so audaciously arrogant?"

"Could it be that your injuries from back then have already healed?!"

Behind Sword Fox Immortal, Master Tiandou held a Jade Ruler, wearing a Lotus Daoist Robe, his eyes a deep blue, as if waves were surging, filled with unfathomable authority.

"Hahaha, Tiandou, why act so hypocritically with me?"

"I merely wanted to test this youngster’s capabilities. If not for this, he wouldn’t have withstood until you arrived?"

"Today, I came here just to wait for you!"

"After your journey to the East Mountain Realm, has your Beiming Carefree Scripture made any progress?!"

Leng Hanfeng laughed wildly, ignoring Gu Yuan, and transformed into an illusory and ethereal terrifying demonic shadow, charging at Master Tiandou.

Master Tiandou was not to be outdone, a colossal Kun Beast phantom carrying boundless waves engaged fiercely in combat.

Boom!!

The two seemed to intentionally control the direction of their battle, flying higher and higher in the sky, shaking the celestial vault, tearing apart the thousand-mile clouds, showcasing an extremely mysterious battle scene.

Boundless waves and demonic shadows covered the Dharma Seal’s vibrations, only the rolling spiritual energy could intermittently annihilate countless white clouds.

No human figures were visible, only the Demon God and Kun Beast in combat.

After a long time, a muffled voice echoed above the clouds.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a colossal demon palm extended downward from the celestial vault, sweeping up several figures, and then a flash of dim light, disappearing instantly into oblivion.

Subsequently, Master Tiandou slowly descended from the celestial vault, landing beside Master Xuan Guang.

Although his aura showed slight fluctuations, it remained as vast as the ocean, with eyes as deep as an abyss.

"Senior Brother!"

"Senior Brother!"

Master Xuan Guang and Gu Yuan both bowed, calling out to Master Tiandou.

"No need for formalities!"

Master Tiandou smiled slightly, instantly restraining his aura, saying to the two with a smile.

"Junior Brother failed to guard the Daoist School well, please, Senior Brother, discipline me!"

Master Xuan Guang sighed deeply, with a shameful expression.

"With your strength, accomplishing this much is already commendable, do not feel guilty."

"Those wicked beings, it’s for me to deal with!"

Master Tiandou did not punish but comforted instead.

Without reaching the Late Stage Golden Core, without having top combat power under the Daoist Embryo, how could he suppress so many ambitious individuals?

Though Master Xuan Guang did not excel, it was within Master Tiandou’s expectations.

As long as no major catastrophe ensued.

"What did Junior Brother Gu do to force the Old Ghost to make a move?"

After some brief pleasantries, Master Tiandou curiously looked at Gu Yuan.

Upon receiving the news, he hurried towards this location. Although he could sense the Old Ghost’s aura and immediately intervened from afar, he was unaware of all that had transpired here.

Gu Yuan could only smile wryly, fortunately, Master Xuan Guang immediately came to his rescue, narrating the events prior with intrigue.

"Thanks to Junior Brother Gu, if not for that, at this very moment, I might have perished never to see Senior Brother again!"

Master Xuan Guang finished speaking, bowing deeply to Gu Yuan in gratitude.

"Senior Brother, your words are too kind. We are fellow disciples, how could I stand by and do nothing?"

Gu Yuan hurriedly helped Master Xuan Guang up.

"Great kindness speaks of no thanks, Junior Brother’s favor, I must repay someday!"

Master Xuan Guang didn’t elaborate further, only speaking solemnly.

"Unexpectedly, Junior Brother just achieved the Golden Core a few decades ago and already showcases such flair!"

"Truly, one must reevaluate after three days of absence!"

Master Tiandou revealed a pensive expression, exchanging a glance with Sword Fox Immortal, as if in silent communication.

Sword Fox Immortal’s beautiful eyes sparkled with a face full of gratification as she looked at Gu Yuan.

"Master Brother’s praise is undeserved. Today, I finally witnessed the might of the Late Stage Golden Core!"

Gu Yuan hurriedly waved his hand, simultaneously complimenting Master Tiandou.

His words were genuine; although he knew the Late Stage Golden Core’s Great Cultivator’s techniques were extraordinary, he had never personally faced them.

Seeing it firsthand today was indeed exceptional, transforming into an anomaly seemed to allow control over the world, every move carried boundless power, a world of difference compared to the Mid-Stage Golden Core.

No wonder the enormous Daoist School had only one Late Stage Golden Core.

"Haha, our Daoist School has countless mysterious techniques, and if you focus on cultivation, one day, you can reach this realm!"

No compliment falls apart, and despite Master Tiandou’s realm and years making him indifferent to such things, facing Gu Yuan’s praise, he still showed a smile.

"Senior Brother!"

"Senior Brother!"

"Salutations to Master Tiandou!"

At this moment, as the grand array was broken and the Demon Cultivator Golden Core was taken by Leng Hanfeng, Master Yanghua and others also emerged from the array hub to greet Master Tiandou.

The two Golden Core cultivators from the Three Mountains Alliance showed extreme respect.

"No need for formalities!"

Master Tiandou flicked his sleeves, helping Master Yanghua and the others up, then glanced casually at the two from the Three Mountains Alliance before looking down at the shallows below, his eyes revealing a chilling coldness.

"Arrogant fools dare to recklessly cultivate Demonic Dao!"

"If not exemplary punishment, the South Mountain Domain might perceive our Cyan Peak Daoist School as feeble, unable to suppress the four directions!"

"All cultivators from Vast Sea Sect above Foundation Establishment, be executed, with their heads hung in this place for three years, as a warning to all factions of the South Mountain Domain!"

"Qi Refining disciples, if engaged in Demonic Path Method, have their cultivation directly abolished, and exiled to South Sea Villa!"

Master Tiandou flicked his sleeves again, directly pronouncing the doom of Vast Sea Sect.

Everyone shuddered and nodded to comply.
