I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

The three came and went in a hurry.

In just a moment, in front of the Lotus Leaf Hall, only Gu Yuan and a row of charming mermaid Daoists were left.

Gu Yuan immediately frowned, sensing something amiss.

Although the three from the Zhang Clan had a gentle demeanor, were courteous, and even arranged this fine hall for cultivation, he hadn’t come for the thick Spiritual Qi of the Thousand Waves Sect.

Instead, he was here to exchange sects, to witness some of the many mysterious techniques of the Thousand Waves Sect!

But now, without checking his identity token, without arranging the Golden Core Jade Talisman of the Thousand Waves Sect, without even discussing the transmission techniques, they left in a hurry. This wasn’t a sect exchange, but merely hosting an outsider with accommodations.

”You can all leave now!”

Gu Yuan had anticipated that the sect exchange might have obstacles. Today was his first arrival, so he didn’t say much. Instead, he turned and instructed the mermaids and Daoists before walking alone into the hall.

First, settle down!

The hall was indeed luxurious, with jade paperweights exuding spiritual light, a turtle crane incense burner holding Tier Three Spiritual Incense Cloud Whale Incense, and even the meditation mat was woven with Tier Three spiritual silks from the Moonlight Spider.

As soon as Gu Yuan stepped in, his heart and spirit calmed, and the fatigue of travel was instantly swept away.

”The East Mountain Realm is indeed prosperous,”

Gu Yuan sighed inwardly.

Observing from a small part to understand the whole, though the Cyan Peak Daoist School was deep-rooted, its cultivation materials were simple, far less extravagant than the Thousand Waves Sect.

”Go!”

Yet Gu Yuan did not immediately sit on the mat. Instead, with a flick of his sleeve, a Gilded Treasure Mirror floated out, radiating a brilliant light.

Truth Revealing Treasure Mirror!

After all, this was the territory of the Thousand Waves Sect, and the Zhang Clan seemed to harbor ill intentions toward him. As Gu Yuan had important tasks ahead, he naturally had to be cautious.

This mirror was a high-grade artifact, able to see through all obscuration arrays, making everything visible.

Fortunately, after observing his surroundings with the mirror, Gu Yuan found nothing unusual.

It seemed the Zhang Clan wasn’t so dishonorable as to set up surveillance arrays in the hall.

After completing his inspection, Gu Yuan stepped onto the mat, sat down gracefully, and began his cultivation practice to restore his Essence Qi.

For a Golden Core cultivator, breath regulation in cultivation is vast and expansive. After a mere moment, Gu Yuan felt refreshed and energetic, eliminating all travel fatigue.

Then he turned his hand over, and mysterious spiritual light flickered in his palm. Suddenly, a gray stone bottle appeared out of nowhere.

Stone Bottle!

This was the foundation of Gu Yuan’s fortune and the cornerstone of his existence.

However, as his cultivation level increased, the stone bottle hadn’t revealed any new opportunities for quite some time.

The reason Gu Yuan wanted to join the Thousand Waves Sect wasn’t just to acquire their mysterious techniques and Dharma Seal but also to enter the East Mountain Realm, using its vast and rich lands to again wield the power of the stone bottle.

The intrinsic nature of the stone bottle meant that he couldn’t stay long in one place and must venture out to new horizons.

But having recently broken through to the Golden Core stage, being at a low strength, Gu Yuan dared not move around carelessly. Now, decades later, with honed skills and the ability to protect himself, he could naturally proceed with the sect exchange.

”Boom!”

The distractions in his heart flickered and vanished, and without hesitation, Gu Yuan directly dropped a drop of Stone Liquid into his eye.

In a flash, the world spun, stars flowed in reverse, and the entire world transformed into gray lines again.

One by one, strange points of light, in various colors, appeared in Gu Yuan’s vision.

Perhaps due to the deeper foundations of the Thousand Waves Sect, many white light points that had not been seen before suddenly appeared, scattered throughout the space.

But the white opportunity light points did not capture Gu Yuan’s attention for more than a glance; he focused directly on the blue-silver light points.

Within a towering pagoda, streams of green and silver light points flickered incessantly. Most were somewhat illusory, blinking on and off, but one light point shone with pure silver brilliance, extremely dazzling, as if calling to Gu Yuan.

”What is this...”

Gu Yuan’s mind gently connected with it, and vague information came through.

”Technique, Escape...”

Underneath this silver light, another more intense silver glow flickered continuously.

However, this silver light seemed somewhat vague, like a silver mist, that could dissipate at any moment.

Without hesitation, Gu Yuan’s mind connected with this one as well, feeling the information of this opportunity.

”Technique, Sword...”

Fuzzy information came through, then the time with the Stone Liquid ended, and Gu Yuan’s vision returned to normal.

He raised his gaze, looking into the distance, sensing the general location of the opportunity he had just seen, showing a thoughtful expression.

”Is this the Thousand Waves Sect’s Scripture Pavilion?”

Many light points converged in one hall, and the location of that grand hall, without a doubt, must be the Scripture Hall of the Thousand Waves Sect.

And that brightest place of escape technique silver light must be connected to his own Body Seal, which is why it’s so dazzling.

The other light points, flickering between illusion and reality, likely had little connection with him, hence their indistinctness.

As for the final Technique, Sword opportunity, with its silver mist being elusive, Gu Yuan couldn’t grasp its origin just yet.

But no matter what, to gain opportunities within the Thousand Waves Sect, entering the Scripture Hall was essential!

”Greetings, Fellow Daoist Donghua. Ding Zhichong of the Thousand Waves Sect pays his respects!”

At that moment, a booming voice suddenly rose outside the hall.

Ding Zhichong?

Gu Yuan’s heart stirred.

The Ding Clan was also a powerful clan within the Thousand Waves Sect, with two Golden Core members. One of them was, of course, Ding Zhixiu, who had gone to Cyan Peak Daoist School for sect exchange, an outstanding figure of the early-stage Golden Core.
