I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Bu Zhengyang was inwardly furious, but after carefully sensing Gu Yuan’s cultivation level, he finally said sternly, ”Outside the Daoist School, I have a Tier Two Spirit Island, which is my secluded cultivation place. I am willing to wager this island and invite Junior Brother for a duel!”

”Agreed!”

”In that case, let’s set the Magical Contract!”

A Tier Two Spirit Island, as long as the Spirit Meridian remains unbroken, can cultivate at least hundreds of acres of Spirit Field, alongside various other yields, rivaling the harvest of a fishing ground.

”Set the Magical Contract!”

Bu Zhengyang was clearly prepared, casually tossing out a golden contract, writing his name upon it, before throwing it over to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan reached out to receive it and signed his name below.

”Please!”

Seeing the contract established, Bu Zhengyang immediately sneered and rose into the air, inviting Gu Yuan.

Yet Gu Yuan only shook his head silently, not stepping forward.

”Hehehe, your opponent is me!”

Just then, a peculiar laugh suddenly sounded behind Bu Zhengyang.

”Hmm?”

Bu Zhengyang turned suddenly, only to see the red-haired youth who had defeated Su Youyue earlier, now stepping on air towards him.

”Gu Yuan, what do you mean by this?!”

”A duel cannot be substituted by another; don’t you know that?”

Bu Zhengyang’s eyes grew cold, scolding Gu Yuan.

”Hehehe, I battle in my master’s stead, not borrowing another’s hand.”

”Do you think any stray cats and dogs can duel with my master? To meet him, you must first pass me!”

Heart-devouring Insect laughed wickedly.

”Master? Are you a Spirit Pet or a puppet?”

Bu Zhengyang’s expression changed, speaking with suspicion and uncertainty.

With his eye power and knowledge, he couldn’t discern anything unusual about the young man before him; he thought it was a helper summoned by Gu Yuan.

But now it seemed not?

What kind of trick is this?

”Just someone who will kill you!”

”Arrogant!”

Upon hearing this, Bu Zhengyang was infuriated.

Was a mere puppet attempting to defeat him while the real opponent hadn’t even taken action?

The Heart-devouring Insect laughed, extending its hand to take out the High-grade Spiritual Artifact Black Flame Divine Bow, suddenly shooting an arrow at Bu Zhengyang.

The black flame gathered into an arrow, shooting swiftly like a meteor, fast to the extreme.

The most crucial part was the black flame on it, known as Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit Flame ”Black Divine Flame,” capable of breaking techniques and burning artifacts, exceptionally formidable.

An ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator, struck by it, would be severely injured if not dead.

Bu Zhengyang’s face changed, immediately summoning a cloud-shaped High-grade Spiritual Artifact, transforming into a colorful cloud to defend in front of him.

”Bang”

The black flame arrow, like a bamboo through mud, fiercely suppressed as it pierced the colorful cloud.

”How could this be possible!”

Bu Zhengyang’s pupils shrank, seemingly in disbelief.

”Pa!”

No time to think further, he immediately summoned a golden Spirit Bracelet, throwing it at the black flame arrow.

Though this golden bracelet was only a Middle-grade Spiritual Artifact, it was forged from Tier Two Spirit Ore ’Spirit Subduing Stone’, able to emit subduing golden light to control techniques and spiritual artifacts, quite powerful.

After the black flame arrow pierced the colorful cloud, it was already at its limit, its power greatly reduced, directly subdued by the golden bracelet and slowly dissipating.

”Hehehe!”

Taking advantage of this, the Heart-devouring Insect had already approached Bu Zhengyang.

Behind it, a lifelike, robust, and mighty Three-headed Fire Snake opened its three mouths simultaneously, suddenly spitting out a tricolored fireball.

This tricolored fireball was of extremely high temperature, the void distorted, its terrifying heat unbearable even for late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

”Formless Flowing Cloud Seal!”

Bu Zhengyang’s expression grew extremely grave, immediately summoning a pure white Dharma Seal, transforming into a vast cloud sea, wrapping toward the tricolored fireball.

”Boom!”

But amidst the blazing firelight, several scarlet Dharma Seals, like falling meteors, fiercely smashed towards Bu Zhengyang.

In an instant, over the waters, the firelight spread, the flowing clouds scattered, unleashing a fierce magical combat.

”Bang!”

Mere moments later, a battered figure, enveloped in a dreadful burnt smell, was violently flung away.

”Hehehe, do you think you can duel with my master?!”

”Truly overestimating yourself!”

As the firelight faded, the Heart-devouring Insect stood pale-faced atop the water, continuing its cold laughter.

Wan Linshan, possessing a Nine-Aperture Body, a Golden Core Descendant, wielding two Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts and mastering numerous Superior Dharma Seals, was a successor whom Master Red Mist had high hopes for, harboring a sliver of hope for attaining the Golden Core.

When Gu Yuan displayed his full means back then, even he had difficulty subduing him.

Bu Zhengyang, merely a former protege discarded, how could he be a match?!

On Heart-breaking Island, Gu Yuan stood with hands behind his back, calmly watching everything before him.
