I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

This light of command was extremely swift, indescribable, the Golden Core cultivators could hardly block it, it vanished in a flash. Upon seeing this, the Old Ape’s expression changed drastically, urging Gu Yuan, ”Not good, my Sword Peak has indeed been infiltrated by it, quickly leave, or there may be mortal danger!”

But Gu Yuan did not move, he merely asked, ”Was this command light passed to that betrayer Ape Demon?”

”Indeed, indeed, that heterogenous creature possesses extremely high cultivation talent, and even learned the Demonic Path Method, unrestricted by oaths, its ambitions are great, alone you are no match, quickly leave!”

Old Ape looked flustered, urging Gu Yuan again.

Yet Gu Yuan still did not move an inch.

”Old Ape, since the descendant of the benefactor is unwilling to leave, why do you bother urging?”

Just then, a sword light shot from afar, seemingly lightning, arriving before Gu Yuan in an instant.

The sword light dissipated, revealing a towering ape with silver back and golden pupils, about ten feet tall, with a gray sword box on its back, inside which nine chilling Spirit Swords were nurtured.

This Sword Ape’s aura was deep and solid, clearly at the peak of Mid-stage Great Demon cultivation, its eyes radiated brilliance, a surging Soul Power seemed ready to overflow, filled with pressure.

Moreover, at its waist was a blue Compass, within which nine palm-sized Sword-shaped Tokens were perfectly embedded.

As the ape demon’s Demonic Power activated, the Compass trembled, an ominous Spiritual Light shot out, suddenly pointing to the Map made of beast skin in the sky.

Seeing this, the ape’s eyes gleamed with joy, then it raised its eyes to look at Gu Yuan, clasped its hands in salute, and shouted, ”Sword Ape Clan, Sword Celestial Spirit, greets the benefactor’s descendant!”

”Benefactor? Do you still recognize the benefactor?”

Seeing its respectful demeanor, Gu Yuan did not immediately attack, but asked softly.

According to Master Shenyi, the opportunity in the Realm of Yin Yang was discovered and left by a predecessor from the Thousand Waves Sect a thousand years ago, these Nine Islands Demon Race were enlightened by him, meant to test the younger generation of Thousand Waves Sect.

The key to unlocking the Secret Realm lay in the beast skin Map, only with the Map and gathering nine Sword Orders could the Secret Realm be opened.

The Sword Ape Clan was bound by oaths, thus this venture shouldn’t have been too risky.

But now, it’s uncertain what has happened?

”The grace of enlightenment by the benefactor, our Sword Ape Clan will never forget, I have prepared a banquet with Spirit Wine in the mansion, inviting the benefactor’s descendant to join.”

The ape demon clasped its hands, inviting Gu Yuan.

”Joining the banquet is unnecessary, why did you gather the nine Sword Orders on yourself?”

Gu Yuan asked lightly.

Upon hearing this, the ape demon straightened its body, looking at Gu Yuan with a piercing gaze, eyes filled with a hint of coldness, ”The benefactor’s words back then were not for us to hand over the Sword Orders willingly.”

”If one’s strength is insufficient, one is unworthy of inheriting the Yin Yang Sword Seal!”

”Even those holding the Map must pass through the Nine Islands and defeat us with Nine Paths Swordsmanship to obtain the Sword Orders!”

”My humble self has long mastered the Nine Paths Swordsmanship, so you need not visit each island, simply defeat me to obtain the nine Sword Spirit Orders!”

”Wouldn’t this be much more convenient?”

Saying this, the ape demon smiled and casually added, ”However, if you are defeated, please give the Secret Realm Map to a person of destiny!”

Hearing this, Gu Yuan speculated in his mind, he chuckled lightly and asked, ”Is this person of destiny you?”

”I have defeated eight islands, my potential in Sword Dao is undeniable, should I defeat you too, wouldn’t that make me the destined one?”

The ape demon smoothly picked up the topic, replying earnestly.

”Those who betray the benefactor dare to claim as destined? What shamelessness!”

Gu Yuan said coldly.

These Nine Islands were meant for him to pass through one by one, gradually increasing the intensity of the trial, but here comes this Ape Demon suddenly, holding the nine orders in combat, evidently determined that Gu Yuan lacked experience with the Nine Islands enlightenment, his swordsmanship was lacking, unable to defeat him.

”The Yin Yang Sword Seal is only for the Sword Dao prodigies, if you do not wish to challenge, then hand over the Map and leave early!”

”I am willing to substitute for the Nine Islands, offering you six Spiritual Objects as compensation!”

Faced with Gu Yuan’s harsh words, the ape demon was not angered, merely produced a Storage Bag, laying six portions of Tier Three spiritual materials before Gu Yuan, urging him to quickly choose.

”Let’s not talk about the Sword Order for now, for those who betray the benefactor, today I will clear the portal for the Thousand Waves Sect!”

Gu Yuan did not even glance at the spiritual materials, just said lightly.

”Then my humble self will try your skill!”

The ape demon said much, but it was merely searching for a reason, in truth its killing intent had long been suppressed.

He waited here for centuries, waiting for the unknowing holder of the Map to arrive, dared not leave a step.

Finally having waited for Gu Yuan, how could he let him leave?

He must obtain the Map to open the Secret Realm!

”Rise!”

With a light shout, a three-foot-long spirit sword, without a hilt, emitting a golden hue, suddenly rose from the gray sword box behind him, attacking Gu Yuan.

As that Spirit Sword spun in the air momentarily, nine identical Sword Shadows split out, resembling that Spirit Sword completely, seemingly indistinguishable.

Nine Sword Shadows moved around restlessly, extremely sharp, furthermore a wonderful Dao Charm was stirred, golden flames igniting on the nine Spirit Swords instantly.

Golden light flowed, accompanied by nine dazzling sword lights, like a golden Great Sun rushing violently.

”Go!”

Seeing this, Gu Yuan waved his sleeve, a golden Sword Pill emerged in motion.
