I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Taian Cloud Path.

The East Mountain Realm is vast and boundless, with abundant Spiritual Qi, resulting in many Spiritual Objects and rich resources.

Where there are many resources, there naturally arises a flourishing trade.

Cultivator trade, of course, does not involve climbing mountains and crossing rivers like mortals, but instead, they directly soar on the clouds, coming and going at will.

And during years of trade exchanges, some safe ”Cloud Passages” naturally emerged.

These Cloud Passages, high up in the Celestial Vault, have as their lower boundaries the territories of some formidable Sects. With these powerful Sects suppressing their surroundings, no Tribulation Cultivator dares intrude, greatly increasing safety.

At this moment, on this floating cloud known as ”Taian Cloud Path”, a golden Treasure Boat is shattering layer upon layer of floating clouds, rushing toward the south.

The Treasure Boat is massive, hundreds of feet long and wide, with golden wind bells hanging all around it. The sound of the bells floats, causing the surrounding Spiritual Qi to vibrate continually, forming a special ”Sound Barrier.” Occasionally, some Demon Birds lacking spiritual wisdom crash into the Treasure Boat, but they are knocked unconscious by the Sound Barrier before they can get close, flapping their wings as they fall beyond the clouds.

And at the top level of the Treasure Boat, in a quiet compartment, a handsome Daoist with his hair tied with a green hairpin and wearing a dark blue Daoist Robe, is sitting cross-legged.

In front of him, more than ten pieces of spiritual materials levitate, enveloped by a mass of golden Pill Fire.

One by one, Profound Mystery Dao Patterns are stripped away, then under the powerful Divine Thought, they regather, ultimately forming a bizarre Dao Seal, seemingly swirling with countless faces.

”Boom!”

”Clang!”

At this moment, profound Mana condenses into substance, crashing into the Dao Seal with a tremendous force. The Dao Seal and Mana merge, a crisp ringing sound echoing in the Quiet Chamber.

The golden sound rings, the Dharma Seal is formed!

”Whizz!”

With a thought from Gu Yuan, the Dharma Seal immediately falls into his Dantian, and then as he stimulates his Mana, a mysterious power surges forth.

His entire body, bones, skin, and hair continuously wriggle, and in an instant, he transforms from a young, handsome Daoist into a tall and burly red-haired man.

Not only that, but his aura suddenly decreases, from Mid-Stage Golden Core to Early Stage Golden Core.

Fire power surges all around him, and his entire Mana seems to have transformed into a Fire Attribute.

”Creak!”

With another thought from Gu Yuan, his bones and skin wriggle again, and in just a moment, he transforms once more into a pale, slender old man.

His aura drops again, this time to only the strength of the Foundation Establishment Peak, and his entire Mana changes to Metal Attribute.

Strong man, old man, young child, youth—the various transformations follow Gu Yuan’s mind, and his aura changes unpredictably.

Only after a while does he return to his true form and stop experimenting.

”No wonder it is a treasured Secret Seal of the Thousand Waves Sect, truly extraordinary...”

Recalling the recent transformations, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

Mysterious Thousand Phase Seal!

Once this seal is cultivated, it can change one’s appearance a thousandfold, and the fluctuation of Mana follows the mind. Unless one’s Divine Thought far surpasses Gu Yuan’s, or there is a special Dharma Gate, it’s impossible to discern the Seal Master’s true form. It’s a wonderful technique for hiding one’s traces.

Gu Yuan felt that he might need this seal on this journey, so he exchanged it from the Thousand Waves Sect’s Scripture Hall.

After cultivating the seal, Gu Yuan took out a broad Map and the Sword Dao Travelogue’s beast skin map, carefully examining them.

This Map was a gift from Hann Yunsheng, a map of Cloud Dream Marsh, indicating the approximate locations of hundreds of thousands of miles of the marsh and the known secret and dangerous places, as well as the various forces.

”First, go to Thousand Sounds Valley to witness the wonders of that place of creation, to see if it can enhance the Ten Thousand Roar Spirit Sound Seal, then head to the Nine Demon Islands...”

Gu Yuan contemplated the two maps, planning silently in his heart.

However, in an instant, his Divine Thought swelled, observing the gradually thinning clouds outside the Treasure Boat, and changed his mind.

”Beyond this Taian Cloud Path is the realm of Cloud Dream Marsh. I might as well first use Stone Liquid to investigate and see what opportunities this marsh that countless people flock to might hold before making plans...”

The opportunities recorded in the Sword Dao Travelogue had existed for many years, and ordinary people couldn’t possibly know about them, so there’s no rush.

”Clang!”

”Clang!”

At this moment, a golden bell rang on the Treasure Boat, signaling to everyone that they are about to reach the realm of Cloud Dream Marsh.

In an instant, many disciples of the Spirit Sound Pavilion went up to the deck, gazing into the distance.

”Wow!”

Just one look, and many disciples couldn’t help but exclaim.

Amidst the heavens and earth, land was no more to be seen. Amid the vast clouds and mist, an immense marsh reaching the heavens came into view—its vast expanse like a tapestry, with golden carps leaping in the air, Immortal Cranes flying together, and countless beast roars echoing, as if an Immortal Realm had descended to the mortal world.

The rippling blue waves blended with the sky.

It’s so vast that anyone seeing it for the first time can’t help but admire it.

”In the vastness of Cloud Dream’s water and sky, it truly is immense...”

Gu Yuan sat cross-legged, unmoving, yet through his powerful Divine Thought, he saw everything outside the Treasure Boat, feeling a sense of awe rise in his heart.

However, after the appreciation, he didn’t forget his task. With a flip of his palm, he took out a greyish stone bottle.

”Boom!”

As Stone Liquid entered his sight, instantly, the world inverted, the Star River spun, and within a thousand-mile radius, all scenery turned to grey lines.

Yet, such a distance, compared to the vast Cloud Dream Marsh, is no more than a drop in the ocean.
