I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

There is no need to reveal my master right now.

After all, slaying the Poison Cloud Demon Python is an extremely dazzling achievement, and if the two demons were to find out, they would likely conspire and join forces.

His thoughts were clever; he wanted to take this opportunity to earn some merit in front of his master, so how could he do something so unwise right from the start?

”Alright then, let’s see what tactics you have on Zhenyun Island!”

Seeing this, the black-faced man and the Giant Crab Demon exchanged glances and no longer pressed further. They merely sneered coldly, sat cross-legged, and waited quietly.

”Boom!”

But just as the two demons had sat cross-legged, the water beneath them suddenly shook violently, giving the impression of an earthquake.

The void trembled, and the cyan Water Mansion hidden in the rippling waters materialized as if stepping out from a painting, finally crashing into the depths of the water.

”The Secret Realm has dissipated!!”

Seeing this, the black-faced man shouted immediately.

This scene was not unfamiliar to them.

Cloud Dream Marsh is vast and boundless, with abundant spiritual energy, an ancient spiritual land proliferating for countless millennia.

Numerous Secret Realms were naturally born within such spiritual lands.

These Secret Realms, large or small, are like numerous stars, connecting within the void of the marsh.

Some Secret Realms are turned into individual Cave Mansions after being obtained, hidden from sight, never to be found by others.

But vacant Secret Realms, after enough time has passed, will inevitably reveal traces.

The Water Mansion before them is surely one from within the marsh, refined into a Secret Realm by some ancient demon or Loose Cultivator; now too much time has passed, the Secret Realm has dissipated, revealing the Water Mansion once more in the marsh.

”Whoosh!”

Without thinking, the black-faced man immediately crushed a Command Token, and a stream of black light shot towards Turtle Head Island at lightning speed.

”Whoosh!”

”Whoosh!”

Seeing this, the Giant Crab Demon and Cyan-Horned Strongman did not hesitate, and simultaneously crushed the Command Tokens in their hands to notify their respective ”masters.”

”Bang!”

But just then, a blurry shadow rushed from below, bypassing layers of space, heading directly towards the Water Mansion.

”How blatant, what guts!”

Seeing this, the three demons were immediately furious.

They never expected there would be others lurking near this water region, trying to take advantage of the time when the leaders of the three forces had yet to arrive, to seize the moment.

”Boom!”

Suddenly, the three demons attacked simultaneously, demon qi trembling, water surging fiercely, transforming into a massive cyan water light lock, a silver horn, and an invisible flying saber, striking at the blurry shadow.

”Three watchdogs, trying to stop me?!”

Seeing this, the shadow sneered, and then a surge of black divine light exploded in the water.

This black divine light was extremely sharp, like countless arrows tearing through the water, piercing through the attacks of the three demons, making the entire water tremble.

”What?!”

Stunned, the three demons were taken aback.

When the shadow made a move, the three demons noticed that the opponent was only at the Early Stage Golden Core.

Yet, the methods were domineering enough to withstand the combined attacks of the three demons.

”Fog-Locked River Seal!”

As the three demons were about to attack again in anger, the shadow shouted lightly, and an immense fog rose from the water.

This fog was rapid; it started as a murky mass but quickly spread, covering the sky and enveloping the entire water.

The three demons were enveloped in the fog, only seeing whiteness before them, unable to extend their Divine Thought beyond ten feet; let alone the black shadow, even the Water Mansion was out of sight.

Moreover, chains emerged within the fog, sweeping towards the three demons, attempting to bind them in place.

”Where did this formidable enemy come from?”

The three demons were shaken, feeling a sense of impending doom.

Cloud Dream Marsh, where chaos and order coexisted, was where cultivators and spirit monsters fell daily and unfamiliar Loose Cultivators intruded frequently.

Encountering formidable foes was not uncommon.

”If you have the skills, face me directly. Why harass my useless subordinates?”

While the three demons were anxious, a husky voice suddenly rang out, followed by the sound of mosquito wings flapping around them.

The sound started faint but quickly grew like thunder, resounding in the ears of the three demons.

”Master!”

The Giant Crab Demon exclaimed with delight.

”Whew!”

As the thunder echoed, the dense fog before the three demons vanished without a trace.

The Cyan-Horned Strongman looked closely, only to find that what appeared to be thunder was actually a massive swarm of insects, dense as storm clouds.

The insect swarm, comprising not fewer than a million, flew and filled the sky, devouring all spiritual light from the Dharma Seals completely.

In the center of the swarm, a disheveled, ragged, and sloppy Daoist stood, hands behind his back, gazing calmly at the Water Mansion below.

”Sloppy Daoist?!”

A cultivator cloaked entirely in a black robe, revealing only his eyes, saw this and his eyes immediately focused, shouting deeply.

He couldn’t believe how swiftly the Sloppy Daoist had arrived, spanning a thousand miles in an instant.

Or had this person been guarding this place all along?

His heart sank, and without turning back, he transformed into a stream of black Escape Light, racing away into the distance.

”Thinking of escaping now might be a bit late...”

The Sloppy Daoist spoke softly; without any visible movement, a streak of white light whisked forward, binding the black-robed man instantly.
