I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

”If the master cultivates the Child Seal, the soul spirit is like a thread, tethered by the Mother Seal. This change is extremely subtle, such that even a Daoist Embryo Cultivator would find it hard to detect.”

”But as time passes, through subtle influence, the thread grows stronger. By the time the cultivator realizes, the soul spirit is already controlled, and it’s too late!”

”This fellow is truly playing a long game!”

”Luckily, this Black Water Infant Beast belongs to the Demon Race and cannot cultivate. Otherwise, this fellow would have long since broken free!”

Chastised by Gu Yuan, the Heart-devouring Insect dared not conceal anything and quickly revealed the pros and cons of this seal.

”It’s actually the Mother-Child Seal?”

The Sword Fox Immortal, upon hearing this, was immediately taken aback.

”Senior Sister knows of this seal?”

Gu Yuan turned his head in curiosity and asked.

”I am not familiar with this seal, but I have heard of the Mother-Child Seal.”

”Anything called a Mother-Child Seal is extraordinary and is at least a Tier Three Dharma Seal.”

”Furthermore, the Mother-Child Seal is either a technique with profound mystery or one that’s bizarre and unfathomable. This Taiyin Spirit Forging Seal should be the latter...”

”However, as long as the Child Seal is not used to harm others, the Mother Seal should also possess profound mysterious power, but it might lose some of its potency.”

The Sword Fox Immortal explained.

”Madam, how insightful!”

The Heart-devouring Insect was slightly taken aback, unable to help but admire the Sword Fox Immortal’s knowledge, and quickly flattered her.

”Hmm?!”

However, the Sword Fox Immortal frowned slightly.

”You fool, quickly apologize to Senior Sister!”

Gu Yuan flicked his finger, and a streak of Sword Qi made the Heart-devouring Insect stagger, scolding it.

”Forgive me, Fairy, forgive me!”

The Heart-devouring Insect, half-flying in the air, quickly apologized, tumbling up and down as if bowing to the Sword Fox Immortal.

”I failed to discipline well; I apologize for embarrassing you, Senior Sister.”

Gu Yuan said apologetically.

”Explain his background and cultivation method one by one...”

The Sword Fox Immortal did not dwell on the matter but lightly reprimanded the Heart-devouring Insect.

”I shall speak, I shall speak right away!”

The Heart-devouring Insect quickly answered.

But this speech was not through verbal narration.

The memories of Master Soul Cloud were so complex and vast that it would take three days and nights to narrate by mouth.

The Heart-devouring Insect’s belly shone brightly, transforming its memories into a jade green Soul Pill, which fell into Gu Yuan’s brow.

With a thought, Gu Yuan let his Divine Sense emerge, gently touching the pill.

In an instant, countless images flowed into Gu Yuan’s mind like water.

Master Soul Cloud, whose original name was Wu Peng, hailed from a remote village in the East Mountain Realm and lived by hunting in his youth.

One day, he witnessed a great snake and an elder battling in the mountains.

The elder rode on clouds, summoning fire clouds, and finally slew the great snake, then quickly left riding the clouds.”

Seeing this, Master Soul Cloud was deeply moved, and he traversed mountains, seeking traces of the Immortal.

After much perseverance, having crossed three mountain peaks, Master Soul Cloud finally discovered the trace of the ”Immortal.”

But the Immortal had already passed away, leaving behind only his belongings.

Thanks to this fortuitous encounter, he successfully stepped into the door of cultivation. Afterward, he braved dangers and difficulties, eventually achieving the Golden Core three hundred years ago.

Furthermore, he continued cultivating to the Mid-Stage Golden Core, becoming quite formidable among Loose Cultivators.

A hundred and twenty years ago, he agreed with two other Loose Cultivators, Master Ziyun and Ascendant Wine Drinker, to explore the Secret Realm of Heart Burial Valley together.

All of this was as he had stated.

The only difference was that for the Tier Three Star Spirit and treasures in that Secret Realm, he conspired with Ascendant Wine Drinker to attack Master Ziyun first, intending to oust one person from the competition and then find a way to kill Ascendant Wine Drinker, thus seizing the realm’s treasures alone.

However, he hadn’t expected Master Ziyun’s strength to be unfathomable, using the Cloud Rain Technique that was ever-changing. The two of them, despite their shameless assault two against one, still couldn’t defeat Master Ziyun.

Not only that, they were counter-killed.

Ascendant Wine Drinker died on the spot.

As for him, his physical body was destroyed, and he couldn’t even escape with his Golden Core.

If not for a fortuitous encounter in his youth, whereby he obtained the Taiyin Spirit Forging Mother and Child Seal, allowing his unique Divine Soul to survive outside his body, he would have died in Heart Burial Valley.

”Master Ziyun...”

No one knew how much time had passed when Gu Yuan slowly finished reading through Master Soul Cloud’s memories, his face showing a solemn expression.

In Master Soul Cloud’s memories, what impressed him most was not the Taiyin Spirit Forging Skill, but the young Daoist known as ”Master Ziyun.”

The sky was filled with purple clouds, the storm raged on, and every living being within thousands of feet was swept up in it.

Every drop of rain carried immense force, the torrential downpour changed the color of the heavens and the earth, shaking the mountains and rivers.

That was a scene of magical combat of immense magnitude.

It was very similar to the magical combat scene when Gu Yuan was refining Qi with the Cloud-Walking Seal, but incredibly more powerful.

Master Soul Cloud and Ascendant Wine Drinker could not preserve their lives even when using all their means.

”Such a formidable Cloud Rain Technique, and within this purple cloud, every drop of rain is Profound Celestial Heavy Water, weighing over ten thousand jin. For someone to control so many at once, could it be an Ancient Secret Seal?”

At Gu Yuan’s invitation, Sword Fox Immortal extended her divine thought to also examine Master Soul Cloud’s memory, a look of surprise filled her delicate eyes.

That Master Ziyun, despite being at mid-stage Golden Core cultivation, showed such techniques that made Sword Fox Immortal feel she might not be able to defeat him.

At the end of that magical combat, Master Ziyun’s eyes gleamed with purple spiritual light, hinting at further unfathomable means.

”No matter how formidable he is, he is in the East Mountain Realm, far from us, and we have rooted out the troubles for him, so we should not concern ourselves too much with it...”

Sword Fox Immortal, having achieved Golden Core for many years, was well versed in the understanding that hidden talents lie everywhere.

The East Mountain Realm was the most affluent great domain outside of the Central Land Divine State, with countless inheritances and Immortal Mountains. It is not surprising to find some Loose Cultivators with deep opportunities.

”Moreover, this Master Soul Cloud had extraordinary encounters even in his youth.”

”This Taiyin Spirit Forging Seal can absorb the power of the Great Yin, temper the divine soul, enhance the divine sense, and when practiced to an advanced stage, the divine soul can even leave the body, transforming into a form akin to a ghost cultivator.”

”It’s not only a seal for refining the spirit but also a means of escape.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan also laughed: ”Indeed, if combined with the Taiyin Godslaying Seal, its power can be further enhanced.”

In Master Soul Cloud’s memory, only three seals were worth the two of them refining.

The first, naturally, was this Taiyin Spirit Forging Mother and Child Seal.

The second, was the Taiyin Godslaying Seal.

This is a divine sense attack seal that can transform all divine sense into a Taiyin Godslaying Saber to kill the enemy through the body.

If a Golden Core Cultivator does not have corresponding defensive means and takes this strike, their divine soul will be split and they will perish on the spot.

However, this technique is also perilous.

It is a one-strike killing technique.

If the Godslaying Saber fails to kill the enemy cultivator, one’s own divine sense will fall into a state of severe weakness, unable to even extend outward.

The final technique is a prayer seal that can enhance the root bone of the Demon Race.

Origin-Tracing Spirit Prayer Seal!

This seal can summon the ancient demon spirit Qi hidden in the mountains and rivers, transforming it into a mass of Returning Spirit Origin, greatly enhancing the root bone of the Demon Race.

But this seal is a prayer seal.

Every prayer seal can only be used once in a lifetime.

”A prayer seal of this kind belongs to the ancient Zuyou Race, extremely rare in existence, it’s unexpected that this person could obtain one.”

Sword Fox Immortal couldn’t help but sigh.

The fortunate opportunities of my junior brother are truly profound, even a mid-stage Golden Core’s residual soul has so many good things.

”In reality, you now have two mysterious techniques to enhance the root bone of the Demon Race in your possession, which is a fortune for our Human Race...”

Sword Fox Immortal sighed once more.

The Origin-Tracing Spirit Prayer Seal, however, must be activated where an ancient demon has fallen, greatly limiting its use.

But if the Celestial Essence Bone-Stealing Demon Register in the Golden Register were obtained by the Demon Race.

It could lead to an unstoppable Human-Demon war in an instant.

Fortunately, the register is in the hands of the two of them.

”I wonder, who authored that Golden Register back then?”

Sword Fox Immortal also felt a bit puzzled.

She originally thought this technique might have been written by a Daoist Embryo, but now it seems it’s even beyond that...

”Clang!”

”Clang!”

”Clang!”

At that moment, in the sky, there was suddenly a sound like a great bell and drum, and also like the shattering of golden artifacts.

The sound was so immense, it was unimaginable.

All existence in the four great domains, four seas, and great deserts heard this sound.
