I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Half a day passed quickly.

Gu Yuan sat cross-legged outside the stone gate, slowly practicing breath control.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi continuously flowed into his body, but compared to his thick liquid mana, it was merely a drop in the bucket, barely enough to recover his mana. To increase his mana and break through realms, who knows how long it would take.

However, in front of his knees, a palm-sized ice-blue little elephant exuded an increasingly imposing aura. Its Qi Blood was boiling, cold air was freezing, and Gu Yuan even had to use mana to protect his body. Otherwise, merely this cold air would freeze his body.

”Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

The Star Spirit was still sound asleep, but with each breath from its palm-sized body, it stirred up storms and countless cold air.

As time went on, the Dao Pattern on the Star Spirit’s back became clearer, a resplendent Dharma Seal born from Heaven and Earth grew brighter.

”Boom!”

At this moment, the Star Spirit’s whole body burst into starlight, as if star points descended from the sky, landing within the Star Spirit.

Thick Qi surged up immediately, and that resplendent Dharma Seal born from Heaven and Earth seemed to have broken through some kind of boundary, becoming unfathomable and greatly increasing in aura!

Foundation Establishment Realm!

The Star Spirit didn’t cultivate, but after evolving, the ”Cold Rhinoceros Dragon Elephant Seal” naturally within it had astonishingly reached the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Not only that, its aura continued to rise, and in the blink of an eye, it broke through another small realm, reaching Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, even charging directly toward Late-stage Foundation Establishment in one breath. But in the end, it fell just short, not succeeding.

However, the Frost Power could now freeze the void, greatly increasing its strength!

”As expected of the Extreme Yin Sect’s treasure, the grade of this Cold Rhinoceros Dragon Elephant Jade is so high. Just this half-day shortened the Star Spirit’s growth by nearly three hundred years!”

Seeing this, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.

The Star Spirit grew slightly every thirty years, greatly every three hundred years. Previously, the Star Spirit had only grown for sixty or seventy years in total. Yet, now that it devoured the Cold Rhinoceros Dragon Elephant Jade, it grew by several hundred years at once.

In terms of realm, the Star Spirit had already surpassed Gu Yuan at this moment.

This is the mystique of Heaven-Earth Exotic Species. With enough resources, it can transform quickly before your eyes!

No bottleneck exists.

”Three hundred years for Foundation Establishment, and when Star Spirit reaches Great Success in three thousand years, what kind of realm would that be?”

Suddenly, this thought surfaced in Gu Yuan’s mind.

Would a three-thousand-year Star Spirit’s power even surpass a Daoist Embryo?

”Moo!”

At this time, the Star Spirit seemed to wake up, wobbly standing up, looking at its much stronger body, unable to hide its joy, it raised its head and let out a strange cry.

”Go!”

”Realm-breaking, killing, just in time!”

Seeing this, Gu Yuan immediately put his distractions aside, at a thought, collected the Star Spirit into himself, transforming it into an ice-blue tattoo on his back, then transformed into flowing water, returning once again to the Jade Altar.

...

...

”Damn it damn it!”

”Cen Yuan, do you think this broken Ice Coffin can save her?!”

”It’s just a waste of time. When I burn this Ice Coffin and kill Cen Qingqing, I can still leave this place!”

”No, I won’t just kill her directly, I want to thoroughly humiliate your daughter first. Didn’t you treat her like a precious jewel? Then I’ll let you watch her moan under me with your own eyes!”

”Then I’ll slaughter you both, turning you into blood and soul spirits, as sacrifices for my escape!”

Within the Jade Altar, the black-faced man’s eyes were bloodshot, constantly channeling mana to scorch a transparent ice coffin above a bloody ocean.

The ice coffin was merely eight feet long, crystal clear, with numerous transparent ice patterns, shimmering with chilling cold air.

The black flame in the black-faced man’s hands was extremely scorching, enough to melt metal and stone. But when it landed on the ice coffin, it couldn’t melt even a single ice pattern.

Seeing this, his face turned even darker, he couldn’t help but roar in anger at the middle-aged Daoist beside him: ”Think of a solution quickly!”

The ”worm shadow” in the eyes of the middle-aged Daoist became increasingly ferocious, a bit of saliva even hung at the corner of his mouth. In the face of the black-faced man’s questioning, his eyes also showed urgency.

”Got it!”

Suddenly, the middle-aged Daoist shouted, his voice full of surprise.

”The Ice Soul Jade Coffin is a treasure from ’Ice Soul Sect’, belonging to the wife’s ancestor. It can preserve a cultivator’s body for millennia, keeping vital energy intact. Without extremely yang sharp objects, it cannot be broken. When the Thundercloud Sect was destroyed, the old villain’s daughter was a child, to prevent enemy techniques from affecting her, he used this coffin to preserve her, escaping pursuit multiple times.”

”I don’t need its history, I need the secret technique to break this coffin!”

The black-faced man couldn’t help but roar.

”After Spirit-Seizing, the memory is disordered. I’m still searching, and the old villain kept this memory tightly guarded. If not, I wouldn’t have been kept in the dark about the Ice Soul Jade Coffin’s information...”

In the middle-aged Daoist’s eyes, the pupils were almost entirely covered by worm shadows, the ”human aura” on him becoming even thinner, but at the same time, his actions also became smoother.

Only, it took a different posture.

”Got it, the old villain has a secret technique to open this coffin...”

”It requires, it requires...”

Halfway through his words, the middle-aged Daoist suddenly choked, the worm shadow in his eyes dimmed continuously, as if pulled by something, falling into a stalemate, and he stood frozen.

”Damn it damn it, after all this time, you still can’t completely devour his soul?!”

The black-faced man saw this and couldn’t help but roar in anger.

”Clang!”

At this moment, the light barrier above the Jade Altar trembled, and a tremendous suction force emerged.

Then, a supremely handsome Daoist suddenly arrived, dropping into the blood-colored ocean.

”Boy, you dare to return?!”

Seeing this, the black-faced man’s expression changed abruptly, unable to restrain his angry shout,

yet his Divine Sense continuously surged out, looking towards the sky above the Jade Altar.

His heart was anxious and frantic, but he had not lost his reasoning.

This young man must be relying on something to return.

He must not act recklessly.

”Zheng!”

But Gu Yuan didn’t answer, he just pointed with his finger, and the Boundless Sword Seal instantly shot out, eighteen sword lights twisting like dragons, slashing toward the black-faced man’s face.

”Using the same old trick, it’s just laughable!”

The sword lights were still sharp, but the black-faced man breathed a sigh of relief.

Half a day’s time, he didn’t believe the boy before him could pull any tricks.

”Mountain-moving Spirit Seal!”

With a thought, the Mountain-moving Spirit Seal whirled up, transforming into a large black hand carrying overwhelming Qi Power, grasping towards the Boundless Sword Seal.

”Hoo!”

But just at this moment, Gu Yuan suddenly blew out a breath.

This breath, coming from his lungs, expanded his body and simultaneously stirred the frost, freezing heaven and earth.

Gu Yuan’s body swelled with the wind, in an instant becoming a giant blue figure ten zhang tall, his face covered in strange Dao Patterns, like a dragon-elephant, mysterious and inexplicable.

And that breath, endless, turned into a surging cold stream, instantly freezing a thick layer of frost upon the Mountain-moving Spirit Seal.

The black hand’s movement abruptly stiffened, seemingly unable to move.

”Bang!”

At this time, a pair of enormous icy blue fists suddenly arrived.

These fists carried a mighty power, how much more than a million jin?

Though the Mountain-moving Spirit Seal was strong, it could not withstand this ferocious blow, with a loud crash, the hand broke, and the Seal let out a mournful cry, plunging into the black-faced man’s Dantian.

”How can this be?!”

The black-faced man’s expression changed dramatically, showing an incredulous look.

If Gu Yuan had such means before, why wait until now?

”Star Spirit?”

He seemed to recall something, but before he could ask further, the sharp sword light had already arrived in an instant.

”Clang!”

The black-faced man hurriedly summoned the Seven-Colored Shield Seal, blocking it in front.

”Screech!”

Without the Mountain-moving Spirit Seal, how could these ordinary Dharma Seals resist the sharp sword light?

In just a moment, it was pierced through.

”Rise!”

The black-faced man’s expression changed, his Mana surged up, trying to emulate his previous move, using his abundant Mana to erode the Sword Qi.

”Bang!”

But Gu Yuan, taking a big step, crossed dozens of zhang in an instant, coming directly before the black-faced man, his giant palm reaching out to grasp him.

The terrifying Qi Power seemed almost to crush space itself, and a look of panic appeared on the black-faced man’s face.

”Four-Not-Like Seal!”

The Four-Not-Like Seal was immediately activated, transforming into the projection of an Ancient Fierce Beast, roaring as it charged at Gu Yuan.

”Bang!”

But Gu Yuan just waved his large hand, directly crushing it.

”Do not mind his Soul Spirit, come save me quickly!”

The black-faced man’s expression changed drastically, immediately calling to the middle-aged Daoist beside him, while simultaneously launching the Spirit-Catching Jade Hook towards Gu Yuan.

But Gu Yuan merely thought for a moment, and the Seven-Phase Exquisite Jade Tower was immediately activated, blocking the Spirit-Catching Jade Hook, while the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape flew out from the tower, its immense intent carrying scorching breath, struck toward that middle-aged Daoist.

The insect shadow in the middle-aged Daoist’s eyes had just appeared, when it was assaulted by this intent, letting out a miserable cry, as if the insect shadow was dragged back by something, leaving his body immobilized in place.

”No!”

At this moment, the icy blue great hand and the sharp sword light arrived simultaneously.

The black-faced man roared continuously, his Mana surged, but he could not resist, his head exploded with a thunderous sound, and he died instantly on the spot.
