I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

”Elder, this is the unique Spirit Tea of Xiaoye Country, known as Heart Refining Tea. It has a rich aroma that soothes the senses and slightly increases Spiritual Sense. Please enjoy!”

In Xiaoye Country, at the Royal City Garden, an elder respectfully presented a cup of Spirit Tea to Gu Yuan.

”Thank you, Elder Yan...”

The tea, which increases Spiritual Sense, was no longer useful to him, yet he still smiled and thanked him.

”You are too kind, too kind!”

The elder repeatedly said he didn’t deserve the gratitude and respectfully sat down below.

As his seat touched the chair, the elder still felt a bit dazed and his heart and spirit were shaken.

Half an hour ago, he thought Xiaoye Country and the Yan Family were finished.

After all, a Great Cultivator at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment ambushing two cultivators at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment was absolutely foolproof.

Yet unexpectedly, a single sword light changed everything.

Even now, the elder felt a faint sting in his eyes, as if opening them would once again reveal that sky-filling sword light.

The might of a Sword Cultivator is terrifying!

The Tribulation Cultivator at Late-stage Foundation Establishment was almost powerless under that sword light, being ground into dust and annihilated between heaven and earth, with hundreds of years of bitter cultivation turned to flowing water.

”Senior Brother Gu’s divine power is unparalleled; he will surely seize the True Inheritance Position, with hopes for a Golden Core!”

Yan Shanhe and Yan Qiankun exchanged a glance, with shock still lingering in their eyes, as they bowed to Gu Yuan and spoke.

Just upon seeing the Tribulation Cultivator reveal his Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, they inwardly thought things were bad and began planning escape routes.

Unexpectedly, the person before them, with just one sword strike, easily subdued the opponent they could hardly reach.

Under a great reputation, there are no false men!

Now they understood why, in just over ten years, this person could have made such a name in the Daoist School, attracting the affection of the Bian Family’s girl.

An invincible Sword Cultivator, overcoming foes beyond his level, a dragon among men!

”Just a Wild Independent Cultivator, not worthy of true consideration...”

Gu Yuan shook his head with a light smile, not taking it to heart.

The Yin Yang Double Fiend, although their cultivation reached Late-stage Foundation Establishment, had mana mixed and evidently used unconventional methods to break through.

Moreover, before leaving the Daoist School, he had retrieved his Golden Bamboo Sword.

With a High-grade Spiritual Sword in hand, his Sword Dao cultivation advanced another notch, allowing him to split into thirty sword lights.

Ordinary Loose Cultivators, with mixed mana and lacking top-tier Protective Spiritual Artifacts, how could they withstand his mighty strike?

”Overcoming foes beyond one’s level is already an extraordinary technique!”

Yan Shanhe couldn’t help but praise.

No matter what, that was a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, ahead by a small realm.

To be so easily killed, it’s too shocking.

”This matter is past, no need to mention it again. I’m just curious, why did the Tribulation Cultivator ambush you all?”

Gu Yuan didn’t fall into the flattery, his eyes slightly raised, directly questioning.

The Tribulation Cultivator, before dying, begged Gu Yuan for mercy, willing to offer the opportunity at Copper Hammer Mountain and even providing the method to break through.

Copper Hammer Mountain was Gu Yuan’s destination!

That near full-silver opportunity.

On that day, when Sword Fox Immortal was in the lead, and Celestial Fragrance Tower’s Golden Core was watching below, it was not appropriate to turn back in search of opportunity.

That would be too abrupt.

Gu Yuan thought of returning to rest for a while, then coming to seek this opportunity again.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity had already been targeted by someone.

Fortunately, his luck was good, as this person voluntarily collided with him, saving him from trouble.

At this moment, hearing Gu Yuan’s question, the Yan Family brothers fell silent.

Gu Yuan was not in a hurry either, leisurely sipping his tea.

”Elder Gu has unparalleled divine power and is a Golden Core Seed; would he covet our trivial bloodline!”

”Why not quickly explain everything!”

Seeing the two remain silent, the elder sitting at the lowermost place immediately became anxious, urging hurriedly.

Such a Fierce God Sword Cultivator, high on the seat, how could one conceal anything!

A slight hesitation might lead to a fatal disaster!

Yan Shanhe also knew there was no hiding it. Thinking over and over, he slowly explained: ”Dare not deceive Senior Brother, our Yan Family bloodline indeed has some degree of divine anomaly!”

”Every disciple of our Yan Family, once stepping onto the path of cultivation, transforms into a peculiar physique known as ’Forbidden-breaking Body’.”

”This body form adds nothing to the path of cultivation, but the Essence Blood can break Restrictions.”

”During Qi Refining, the body is extremely minimal, only able to break some crude Restrictions.”

”Only after Foundation Establishment does the body slightly gain strength, and it can be regarded as a Secret Technique.”

”However, against powerful Restrictions, it is still powerless; please understand, Senior Brother!”

Yan Shanhe bowed deeply in honesty.

His words were true; the Yan Family bloodline was thin, and the Forbidden-breaking Body, even at Foundation Establishment, could only break ordinary Restrictions.

Otherwise, they would have already relied on this body to gain countless opportunities.

He didn’t know what kind of Restriction the Tribulation Cultivator wished to break, but watching his previous ambush arrangements, he definitely wanted to drain them dry!

Daring not to tell Gu Yuan was just out of fear that Gu Yuan might harden his heart and aim for the opportunities the Tribulation Cultivator spoke of, sacrificing the two of them.

After all, that was an opportunity even Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators would covet, surely of extraordinary origins!

”I see!”

Gu Yuan nodded slightly.

He believed this Forbidden-breaking Body must have a significant cost, or the Tribulation Cultivator wouldn’t have worked so hard to ambush, encircle, and reinforce.

He also understood the worries of the two.

”Rest assured, my two junior brothers; as fellow disciples, would I harm you for a Tribulation Cultivator’s opportunity?”

Gu Yuan laughed indifferently.

He had Stone Liquid in hand, already understanding the ’rarity’ of the inner opportunity.

Although it was an opportunity that could change fate lines, nearly full-silver.

But such an opportunity was not enough to make him violate his principles.

He considered himself not a good person but also wouldn’t harm lives without reason.

Moreover, for the Tribulation Cultivator, the Restriction was difficult to break, but for him, it wasn’t so.

Even if he couldn’t solve it himself, he could return to the Daoist School and seek help.

This opportunity’s origin was clear, and he could completely utilize his identity as a Major Sect disciple.

With his current status and resources, he could entirely invite experienced array masters at Late-stage Foundation Establishment.

Even attempting with a Golden Core Cultivator wasn’t out of the question.

Why harm fellow disciples, leaving a stain behind, and endanger the contest for True Inheritance?

”Senior Brother’s divine abilities are immense; we were unnecessarily worried, begging Senior Brother’s forgiveness!”

The Yan Shanhe brothers also reacted, speaking with shame on their faces.

They had judged a person’s heart with their own petty minds.

”Senior Brother, the origins of our Yan Family bloodline are long lost, but within the family, some items have been passed down.”

”Most of them have been sold for our cultivation, leaving only one item.”

”We wish to offer this item as gratitude to Senior Brother; please accept it!”

Yan Shanhe took out a palm-sized, crystal-clear beast bone from his sleeve and presented it to Gu Yuan.

The beast bone bore faint Dao Patterns, flashing mysterious trails, exuding a sense of profound mystery.

”Oh!”

Gu Yuan lightly swept it with his Divine Sense, his face showing surprise.

”Bright Heart Beast Bone!”

”And it’s the bone of a newborn cub!”

Back then, Gu Yuan obtained Three Dharma Daoist’s inheritance in the Cloud Mist Valley.

Aside from the Three-Heart Gold Seal, he also acquired the Leaving Realm Clarity Seal, Red Phoenix Sun-Breaking Sword Seal, and Divine Sense Heartless Seal!

The first two Dharma Seals, one had been successfully refined, and the other abandoned.

Only this Divine Sense Heartless Seal lacked the crucial Spirit Pattern Dao material, and remained unpracticed.

Unexpectedly, today he obtained it from the Yan Family.

Once this seal was refined, within a hundred yards, any killing intent or evil thoughts could be easily sensed.

It could induce a premonition.

Considered a unique Heart Seal Divine Power.
