I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

”Go!”

But Gu Yuan just shouted softly, and the Golden Bamboo Sword soared into the sky again, like a golden lightning bolt, stabbing towards Su Yongzhen with even greater speed than before.

”Profound Slaughter Gold-breaking Seal!”

Su Yongzhen’s expression changed, seemingly aware of the threat, and all his mana surged into a Profound Light Seal within the Ten Thousand Seal Map.

Evil Qi surged, bringing a powerful storm that restrained metal, swirling before Su Yongzhen.

”Bang!”

But the golden sword light was extremely fast, slicing through everything like a Golden Core striking directly, carrying immense heavenly might.

A sword cultivator strikes decisively, either piercing through everything or returning without success.

This time, the Golden Bamboo Sword was evidently the former.

Su Yongzhen desperately summoned his mana, constantly activating various Dharma Seals, but the sword light simply slashed through everything.

”Impossible!”

Su Yongzhen’s face turned red, seemingly incredulous.

But back when Gu Yuan was at the Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, his two strands of gold-attribute mana could contend with Su Xuanfeng’s Golden Core Secret Treasure, let alone today?

”Bang!”

The sword light went straight through, piercing through Su Yongzhen’s shoulder and nailing him tightly to the Cloud Platform.

He struggled desperately, but countless sword qi, like golden snakes dancing wildly, continuously shattered his meridians, turning his mana to dust, leaving him unable to escape the Golden Bamboo Sword.

His golden crown fell off, hair disheveled, losing all his grace, looking like a curled shrimp firmly pinned down.

”Enough!”

A cold voice resonated from the sky, and a vast force descended, intending to remove Gu Yuan’s sword qi.

But it was intercepted by another sharp sword light.

”In the Cloud Platform’s magical combat, each relies on their own means; why the rush, Senior Brother?”

”Hmph!”

A cold snort sounded from above the clouds, but ultimately, no action was taken, and peace returned to the sky.

Gu Yuan chuckled softly, no longer torturing Su Yongzhen, and with a wave of his sleeve, retrieved the Golden Bamboo Sword into his sleeve.

”Thank you for yielding, Junior Brother Su!”

With the Golden Bamboo Sword retracted, mana flowed once again within Su Yongzhen, but his face remained pale, with an embarrassed expression.

He looked extremely sullen, his eyes filled with a trace of confusion, seemingly unable to believe such a defeat.

However, on the Cloud Platform, numerous gazes were directed at him, making him feel a prickling sensation on his back, and he dared not stay on Gu Yuan’s Cloud Platform any longer. Hurriedly, he activated his Escape Light and returned to his own platform.

The challenge failed, but Su Yongzhen’s ranking would remain unchanged unless someone else defeated him and exchanged ranks.

”One sword breaks all techniques; after all, learning the sword is essential!”

”What a frightening Sword Seal. Speaking of which, this Boundless Sword Seal by Sword Fox Immortal should be no inferior to the Daoist School’s Golden Brilliance Great Sword Seal, right?”

”The Sword Seal depends on the person, not the seal itself. Do you think if you learned this Boundless Sword Seal, you could also split into fifty sword lights?”

On the Cloud Platform, discussions were abuzz.

”Su Yongzhen is all appearance, seemingly unmatched in Dharma Seals, with numerous types, yet can’t withstand even one sword strike from Senior Brother Gu...”

”What do you know? Is that a normal sword? That final strike from Senior Brother Gu was filled with gold attributes, transcendent and extraordinary. Even Su Yongzhen’s Artifact Embryo-level Ten Thousand Seal Map couldn’t block it. Did you think it was child’s play?”

”The terror of sword cultivators lies in their lethal attack. Senior Brother Su likely had other means, but sword combat among cultivators is decided in a blink; victory or defeat...”

”A pity indeed, not witnessing other techniques from Senior Brother Gu. The Su Family is still lacking...”

”Do you think within the Ten Great True Inheritances of the Daoist School, someone has mastered the Golden Brilliance Great Sword Seal capable of contending with Senior Brother Gu?”

Su Yongzhen’s initiation of a top-tier challenge stirred everyone’s emotions, sparking discussions and a buzzing atmosphere.

But at this moment, from a Cloud Platform to the side of Gu Yuan, adorned in a blue Daoist Robe and with eyes occasionally filled with starlight, Shu Tianzhi suddenly spoke up.

”Senior Brother Gu’s swordsmanship is unparalleled; could your junior have the honor of learning from you?”

With these words, the entire Cloud Platform fell silent, and everyone widened their eyes, intently watching the two.

Shu Tianzhi had issued a challenge too.

Such rapid progress, it seems this time he’s aiming for top-tier first!

”Star Daoist Body, I’ve heard of it long ago, please don’t hesitate to demonstrate!”

Gu Yuan certainly wouldn’t refuse, clasping his hands respectfully and speaking loudly.

To seize the top-tier, one must convince everyone through strength!

Shu Tianzhi returned the gesture and then calmly stepped onto Gu Yuan’s Cloud Platform.

”Please, Senior Brother Gu, restore your mana before we contest!”

Shu Tianzhi stood dozens of yards away from Gu Yuan, but did not strike immediately, instead bowing respectfully and speaking.

The True Inheritance battle is not a continuous duel; time is allowed for mana restoration post-battle.

Additionally, the Cloud Platform for this True Inheritance battle is truly mystical, enabling Foundation Establishment cultivators to recover mana at ten times the usual rate.

”It’s fine, merely Su Yongzhen was not enough to exhaust my mana. Junior Brother, please make your move!”

Gu Yuan shook his head slightly, using Su Yongzhen as an example once more.

However, he spoke the truth. Cultivating three arts, his mana far surpassed peers in the same realm, coupled with the Cloud Platform’s restorative abilities; within just a few breaths, his mana was replenished.

Upon hearing this, Shu Tianzhi did not insist, blue light flowing in his eyes, and profound aura overflowing.

”Then, excuse my impudence!”

He apologized and then pointed a finger, starlight radiating from behind him, forming a starry sword shadow, suddenly piercing towards Gu Yuan.

This starry sword shadow was not large, only several feet in size.

But as the sword shadow flew, strands of starlight fell from the void, landing within the sword shadow.
