I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

”Dong!”

”Dong!”

”Dong!”

Three months later, the sky was clear and the breeze gentle.

The continuous ringing of bells echoed for miles.

All forces within the Cyan Peak Daoist School’s territory rang the Jade Plate Golden Bell, celebrating the arrival of a grand event.

After four hundred years, another Golden Core Cultivator has been born!

Sixteen bell tolls announced it to the world in celebration.

Within the Cyan Peak Daoist School, auspicious clouds filled the sky, jade belts danced, and red banners spread everywhere, presenting a scene of joy.

The Daoist School Mountain Gate was wide open, and the Stewards of Late-stage Foundation Establishment were serving as hosts, warmly greeting guests from all directions.

Escape Lights surged from everywhere, a lively scene indeed.

”Swish!”

At that moment, a brilliant flash of lightning, like a meteor, rushed in with great power.

”Golden Core Ascendant!”

In the Daoist School, many disciples exclaimed.

Outside the mountain gate, the Human Resources Hall Steward, Rune Mountain, hurried to greet the arrival.

”Welcome, Master Yuan Lei!”

The lightning faded, revealing a young Daoist with sword-like brows, bright eyes, clad in white, wearing a blue ring.

This person was none other than Master Yuan Lei of the Sunset Glow Sect, a Golden Core Cultivator who ascended decades ago, Zuo Tianlun.

Rune Mountain had once attended this person’s Golden Core ceremony alongside Master Tiandou, and had a brief encounter.

”Didn’t expect to return the courtesy to Cyan Peak Daoist School in just a few decades; your sect’s foundation is indeed profound!”

Master Yuan Lei gazed at the vast Nine Rivers Marsh, sighing slightly, expressing some emotion.

Today’s celebration, the Sunset Glow Sect originally did not intend to send him, but he strongly requested and volunteered to come.

The purpose was to see, in this era of fiercer Celestial Tribulations, what kind of genius could undergo tribulation and achieve Core Formation like him.

Rune Mountain dared not slight him, promptly leading Zuo Tianlun toward the hall.

”Ding-dong!”

Just after Zuo Tianlun left, a white jade carriage, adorned with golden wind bells, crossed the air, gently landing outside Cyan Peak Mountain, emitting crisp bell sounds.

From the carriage, a beautiful woman with a veiled face and willow-like figure gracefully stepped out.

”Welcome, Master of Celestial Fragrance!”

Another welcoming Foundation Establishment Disciple quickly paid respect.

The owner of Celestial Fragrance Tower, Master of Celestial Fragrance, at the early stage of Golden Core.

”No need for too much formality!”

The woman smiled faintly, bringing warmth like a spring breeze, then her beautiful eyes glanced around, muttering softly, ”Didn’t expect, in mere decades, a Golden Core formed...”

Then she followed the Daoist School disciple toward the hall.

The arrival of two Golden Core cultivators was just the beginning.

As time passed, more Escape Lights and Immortal Birds Spirit Beasts, carrying ethereal Immortal Qi, headed toward the Cyan Peak Daoist School.

”South Mountain Pavilion, Master Huachi arrives!”

”Primordial Cauldron Sect, Master Qiansui arrives!”

”Flying Mist Temple, Master Jiyun arrives!”

”Three Mountains Alliance, Mountain Ascendant arrives!”

”Moon Bamboo Market, Master Moon Bamboo arrives!”

”...”

One thunderous shout after another reverberated through the Daoist School, announcing the identities of the approaching guests.

All disciples of the Daoist School displayed expressions of excitement.

An entire generation of Foundation Establishment Disciples had never witnessed such a grand spectacle.

Two Tier Four Sects and over ten Tier Three Sects, Golden Core cultivators from unknown miles around came with gifts, creating an unmatched display.

And countless Foundation Establishment Minor Sects formed a long line outside the Daoist Sect.

One by one, they eagerly offered gifts, hoping to gain a place inside to observe the ceremony.

The Golden Core ceremony, though a grand event, was not one that Cyan Peak Daoist School extended invitations to many sects.

Only sects with Golden Core presence, allied with Cyan Peak Daoist School, received formal invitations.

Other minor sects came upon hearing the news, voluntarily presenting gifts.

This had been customary for many years.

Minor clans, reliant on the Daoist School for survival, how could they not come upon hearing such a grand event at the Daoist School?

Even if the Upper Sect might not remember their presence, not coming would certainly earn recognition.

Moreover, the Golden Core ceremony was truly exceptional; even the Spirit Wine and Spirit Fruit served in the hall were Tier Three treasures, something ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators could only dream of.

Not to mention, during the ceremony, Golden Core ascendants personally imparted their teachings.

If fortunate enough to gain a seat inside, at the very least, it would save ten years of hard cultivation.

In the era of vast Celestial Tribulations today, receiving firsthand experience from a newly ascended Golden Core was invaluable!

”Taihua Sect, Master Huayang, gift of three hundred jin of Golden Cinnabar.”

Within the mountain gate, atop the Jade Tier, a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator of Cyan Peak Daoist School glanced at the offered gift and casually spoke to the side.

Beside him, Qiu Mingshan, as the Human Resources Hall Steward, proceeded to record the gifts as instructed.

Upon hearing his elder’s words, he swiftly wrote, transcribing Taihua Sect and their gift.

”Senior, may we observe the ceremony in the hall?”

The Taihua Sect’s Foundation Establishment Cultivator, old and frail, humbly asked with clasped hands.

Golden Core ceremonies naturally had their protocol, divided into upper and lower halls.

The upper hall was reserved for Golden Core seating, while the lower hall offered eighteen Foundation Establishment seats.

The Cyan Peak Daoist School’s Foundation Establishment waved his hand and instructed the Daoist to take the fellow Daoist to Chaotian Hall for good hospitality.

Chaotian Hall was intended for welcoming disciples from minor sects unable to witness the ceremony inside.

These words indicated that Taihua Sect’s request to enter the hall was denied.

The elder’s expression darkened, yet he could only helplessly clasp hands and leave with the Daoist.

Seeing this, Qiu Mingshan also shook his head slightly in his heart.

Mere hundreds of jin of Spirit Ore, expecting to hear the ascendant’s teachings?

”Next!”
