I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

This is an unimaginable grand sound.

Indescribable, beyond words.

It resembles the shattering of golden artifacts, yet also the mourning of heaven and earth.

Across the celestial vault and Nine Netherworld, the four seas and vast deserts, all beings, spiritual or otherwise, felt this ethereal sound.

Everyone looked up, gazing at the sky.

The world suddenly brightened, as if torn apart.

An unfathomable brilliance spread across the celestial vault, flowing in all directions.

In this world, all cultivators accomplished in their cultivation rose and looked aghast at the celestial vault.

For those who have attained the Dao, there were early signs of this day.

Yet when it truly happened, it sent chills through one’s heart and spirit, beyond words.

The True Immortal has fallen!

The last supreme being who could suppress the world, today, amidst heavenly mourning, departed to the afterlife.

No matter what methods the True Immortal left behind, the structure of this world is bound to undergo unimaginable upheaval.

This world has never been at peace.

What follows will inevitably be a storm, sweeping across the great domains!

”The True Immortal... has fallen?!”

Gu Yuan raised his head, an inexplicable sorrow surfacing in his heart, and asked softly.

The Sword Fox Ascendant also fixated his gaze on the celestial vault, his pink pupils full of gravity.

”The heavens have changed!”

”This day has finally come...”

The Sword Fox Ascendant withdrew his gaze, exchanged a look with Gu Yuan, and couldn’t help but sigh.

This day, countless people have imagined in the dead of night.

There was fear, excitement, trepidation... yet no matter what, when this day truly arrives.

The beings of heaven and earth are still somewhat bewildered.

No one can predict what changes will occur in a world without the True Immortal.

Will the Longevity Seal unify once again?

Will someone achieve the miracle neither True Dragon nor True Immortal could, and fully control this seal?

Will the possessor of this seal truly gain immortality?

With imbalance, will the ancient chaotic battles return to the great domains?

”Go!”

”First assist the other senior brothers in slaying the Great Demon, then quickly return to the Daoist School!”

”Who knows what turmoil this event will trigger, better to report to the dean and watch the changes unfold!”

The Sword Fox Ascendant snapped out of his extremely shocked and complex emotions, and said to Gu Yuan.

”Alright!”

Gu Yuan nodded, his expression equally complicated.

Is there truly someone immortal in this world?

How magnificent is the power of the immortal?

In the face of death, can one only accept it helplessly?

These various questions are destined to go unanswered.

Gu Yuan could only suppress his chaotic thoughts, ride the Escape Light, and head with the Sword Fox Ascendant towards another Demon Island.

...

...

Western Sea Realm, Dao Origin Sect.

In an ancient and simple main hall, a petite Jade Snake coiled atop a skeleton, its emerald eyes fixated on the sky, a look of ecstasy emerging.

”Dead!”

”The old guy is finally dead!”

”After living so furtively for so many years, finally outlasted those two!”

”Fortune-favored with half of the Longevity Seal and still dared to covet immortality?”

”Having suppressed the world for tens of thousands of years, you’ve had enough of glory!”

”I am the Master of the Great Fortune Heaven-Equaling Seal, blessed with Qi Fortune, I should be the one to attain immortality!”

The Jade Snake flicked its scarlet tongue, ambition spilling from its emerald eyes.

Yet it dared not let any breath escape, fearing to provoke the terrifying presence above the celestial vault.

The True Person is dead, but the Celestial Palace still stands.

...

...

South Mountain Domain, in an uninhabited deep mountain and ancient forest, from the depths of an unknown abyssal cave, a sound of a stone coffin shattering suddenly echoed.

”Bang!”

A skeleton that had decayed for who knows how many years suddenly flung open the coffin lid above its head and sat halfway up.

”Uh uh uh!”

The skeleton’s jaw opened and closed, a faint air stream attempting to breathe.

But after a moment, it suddenly seemed to realize, using a bony hand to touch its ”cheek,” shaking its head helplessly.

”Glug!”

And with its movement, a golden Treasure Seal rolled down from its chest.

The Treasure Seal, originally meant to be crimson gold, was now dull and lusterless, nearly devoid of any sheen, with only a few mysterious complex seal patterns at its base faintly flickering with some spiritual light.

The skeleton lifted the Treasure Seal and examined it closely.

Finding that although the seal patterns were incredibly dim, none were missing, the secretive Dao Charm still flowed.

And these mysterious complex seal patterns, when combined, vaguely formed a few small words.

Wish Fulfillment!

”Cough cough!”

At this moment, the skeleton cleared its throat, a voice suddenly emanating from its hollow chest.

”I want to return to the peak, to ascend to the Immortal Realm!”

The skeleton’s voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable dominance.

But in the cave, all was silent, no sound responded, making its dominant declaration a joke.

The skeleton was a bit embarrassed, couldn’t help scratching its smooth skull, then picked up the Golden Seal and looked at it.

The Dao Seal patterns on the Golden Seal flowed, but were extremely weak, too lazy to respond to the skeleton’s words.

”I want to return to the Mahayana Realm!”

The skeleton lowered its voice, cautiously speaking.

The Golden Seal showed no reaction.

”Take me back to the Celestial Spirit Realm!”

The skeleton’s voice was reduced a few more decibels.

But the Golden Seal still showed no reaction.

”Forget it, forget it, Primordial Image, the Primordial Image Realm is enough!”

The skeleton conceded, waving its hand bone, its hollow eye sockets inadvertently glancing at the Golden Seal.

But the Golden Seal remained motionless.

”Daoist Embryo, Daoist Embryo, don’t go too far!”

The skeleton seemed to be a bit angry.

But the Golden Seal acted as if it had decayed, ignoring it entirely.

”Golden Core!”

”Golden Core will do!”

”Why is there still no response?!”

”Foundation Establishment, Foundation Establishment then?!”

”Hey, don’t go too far!”

”Qi Refining! Qi Refining works!”
