I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

At first, the Vortex Wind Thunder Pearl was fiercely energetic, scattering lightning wherever it passed, and the gorge resounded with the sound of whipping wind.

But as it delved deeper into the gorge, the speed of the Thunder Pearl began to gradually slow down.

At thirty zhang.

The power of the Radiant Heart Gang Thunder became increasingly vast, shaking one’s heart and spirit in unseen ways.

The entire gorge was less than a hundred zhang, and a Golden Core cultivator’s Divine Thought could easily sweep across and explore multiple times, but Gu Yuan dared not release any trace of Divine Sense.

As the gorge continued, the power of the Radiant Heart Gang Thunder grew ever more immense. Even a Golden Core cultivator’s Divine Thought would instantly be reduced to dust upon contact, shattered to nothingness.

”Buzz! Buzz!”

The Vortex Wind Thunder Pearl, faced with the vast expanse of lightning, seemed unable to fully absorb it, trembling continuously, and its speed of flight rapidly declined.

And when it reached forty zhang, the Vortex Wind Thunder Pearl slowed to a crawl, like a snail, as if encased by countless thunders, moving with difficulty.

However, it continued to strive to absorb the lightning.

It was born to devour thunder, and at this moment, it was simply overfilled and needed digestion.

Gu Yuan was not in a hurry.

He found a flat gray stone in the gorge, cleaned it up a bit, then sat cross-legged upon it.

”This place is indeed a good spot for cultivation and Refining Seals.”

Though the Radiant Heart Gang Thunder was formless and invisible, it truly existed.

In this gorge, the Thunder Power surged, much more turbulent than the ”Thunder Mountain” transformed by the Wind-Calling and Thunder-Summoning Array on his Purple Sun Peak.

The absorption of the Vortex Wind Thunder Pearl would still take three months; this time could not be wasted.

It was the perfect opportunity to refine the Five Thunders Sky-Striking Seal!

However, Gu Yuan did not immediately begin refining the Dharma Seal but instead, used Mana to set up a barrier around himself, isolating his Divine Thought, and then took out a stone bottle.

The origin of this Thunder Valley was mysterious, and even Master Ge Yun had not fully explored it—there might be opportunities hidden within.

Fortunately, the Stone Liquid had already been accumulated, so it was time to check it first.

But after a brief moment, Gu Yuan shook his head helplessly.

After reaching the Golden Core stage, opportunities are indeed hard to come by.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so eager to enter the Red Mist Secret Realm.

...

...

Clearing his mind, Gu Yuan closed his eyes, immersing his heart and spirit entirely into the Three-Heart Gold Seal.

The greatest difficulty in the Five Thunders Sky-Striking Seal lay not in the refining but in comprehension!

As long as he could comprehend the Five Thunders Dao Pattern and that trace of Life Seal, refining the Dharma Seal would only take a few days.

Over five years, Gu Yuan had comprehended and refined the Taiyin Spirit Forging Mother and Child Seal and the Taiyin Godslaying Seal without a moment of rest.

For the Five Thunders Sky-Striking Seal, he had some insight, but he needed to go a step further to ensure no obstacles.

Fortunately, with the presence of the Three-Heart Gold Seal, this seal was not a major challenge for him.

For a moment, the entire gorge returned to an enigmatic silence.

The Vortex Wind Thunder Pearl, positioned at the center, slowly absorbed the Radiant Heart Gang Thunder, while Gu Yuan sat cross-legged beneath it, continuously comprehending the Thunder Pattern Life Seal.

Quietly, in the blink of an eye, two and a half months passed.

For a Golden Core cultivator, not entirely fasting, but it’s common to survive on wind and dew for half a year to a year.

”Swoosh!”

Suddenly, Gu Yuan opened his eyes abruptly, and within them seemed to float the Dao Seal like lightning, but it quickly vanished.

Wasting no time, he waved his sleeve, and the Five Elements Thunder Sand immediately suspended in front of him.

”Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The Five Elements Thunder Sand of different colors continuously flickered, as if stirring the Thunder Power within the gorge, with soft thunderous echoes reverberating throughout.

”Bang!”

Gu Yuan opened his mouth and spat, and the golden Pill Fire spewed out, enveloping all of the Five Elements Thunder Sand before him.

The Thunder Sand was not exceedingly hard, and within the Pill Fire’s embrace, it quickly melted, turning into five streams of differently colored Thunder Liquid, slowly flowing.

However, the five Thunder Liquids were incompatible, like five little jiaos, mutually exclusive, clashing incessantly.

”Whew!”

Gu Yuan exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and within his Dantian, the Three-Heart Gold Seal shone brightly, and all the insights of the Five Thunders Sky-Striking Seal flowed through his mind like a gushing stream.

”Boom!”

Yet the Five Elements overcomes each other, the multicolored thunder light surged without pause, none yielding, all seemingly competing.

One lapse, and all five masses of Thunder Liquid would explode entirely, efforts in vain.

But the Five Elements counteract and also integrate.

Under Gu Yuan’s rigorous control, the five Thunder Liquids found a thread of Spiritual Mechanism, the thunder light became gentle, starting to blend together.

”Bang!”

Gu Yuan increased the output of the Pill Fire, Mana surged forth, striving to inhale and exhale the Thunder Liquid.

Five liquids merged, forming a mass of Chaos Liquid, but as the Pill Fire scorched, this Chaos Liquid began transforming into tendrils of chaotic gray gas.

Innate Thunder Qi!

The key to refining the Five Thunders Sky-Striking Seal.

This wisp of Thunder Qi was exceedingly thin, seeming like a puff of wind could disperse it, yet it was rich in Spiritual Nature. No sooner was it born than it impatiently flew towards the sky, as if it wanted to merge with the Celestial Vault.

”Come back!”

Having sacrificed so much, Gu Yuan wouldn’t let it escape.

With a thought, he immediately drew it back. Alongside the surge of Mana, within this tendril of Innate Thunder Qi, countless fine Thunder Patterns slowly surfaced.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan was slightly pleased, but dared not slacken, softly exclaiming, as the Great Thunder Origin Celestial Scripture began wildly operating within him, the Gold-Attribute Magical Power gushed forth, forming a golden Dharma Seal in his palm.

Refining the Dharma Seal requires two elements.

The first is the Dao Seal, the second is Mana.

The former is acquired from the external world, while the latter is derived internally. The unity of both can intertwine with the heavens and earth, leveraging the Dao Principles!

”Clang!”

Both steps completed, with a thought from Gu Yuan, the golden seal formed from his Gold-Attribute Magical Power suddenly rose, colliding with the Innate Thunder Pattern in the air.
