I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

These blood-colored insects, though densely packed like a blood cloud, flap their wings in utter silence, extremely stealthy.

Moreover, these blood-colored insects hidden within the Soul-shaking Wind have not leaked a hint of presence, making them undetectable by Divine Thought.

If Gu Yuan hadn’t raised the Truth Revealing Treasure Mirror, he wouldn’t have known these blood insects were approaching within a few feet, accompanied by the dark soul mist and wind.

”Die, you brat!”

Upon seeing these insects, the Heart-devouring Insect immediately became furious, venting the pain it endured at Soul-shaking Peak onto these blood-colored insects.

”Boom!”

With a wave of his hand, a ball of golden flame soared into the sky, transforming into a rolling fire cloud, covering the heavens and burning toward the blood-colored insects.

The Golden Frog, which the Heart-devouring Insect inhabits, is a Mid-stage Great Demon skilled in Fire Technique, its strength formidable. This Fire Cloud Technique may not burn mountains or boil seas, but is sufficient to incinerate Great Demons.

However, these blood-colored insects seemed like mere shadows, even though the gold fire that could make ordinary Great Demons suffer in agony and howl like wolves passed straight through them, leaving them unaffected as they continued swiftly toward Gu Yuan and his companion.

In the blink of an eye, they crossed a hundred feet, closing in on Gu Yuan and his companion.

”Fool! I’ve already raised the Treasure Mirror, and you still can’t see that these are Blood Soul Insects? Use your Soul-Burning Demon Flame!”

Seeing this, Gu Yuan shook his head helplessly.

Although the Heart-devouring Insect had gained the memory of the Golden Frog, its Magical Combat experience was still severely lacking, unable to handle the situation properly, only randomly releasing Fire Techniques.

”Blood Soul Insects?!”

The Heart-devouring Insect was startled but had no time to question, immediately opening its mouth to spit out a ball of blood-golden flame.

This flame, blood-colored in the gold, like fire yet like smoke, resembling a mist enveloping the void, met the blood insects head-on.

”Squeak!”

This smoke-like fire carried a stench, yet was best at burning Divine Souls, a magic cultivated by the Cloud-Burning Golden Frog at the cost of blood sacrifices, hurting root bone and bloodline.

Insects’ wails echoed in the air as each blood insect transformed into a fine blood smoke, dissolving into the air.

In contrast, the Soul-Burning Demon Flame grew ever stronger, erupting in waves as if the blood insects had become nutrients, being devoured.

”Haha, formidable indeed!”

Seeing this, the Heart-devouring Insect couldn’t help but laugh, an expression of pride spreading across its face.

”Screech!”

But just then, an angry cry echoed from the peak, its sharpness seemingly resonating within the Sea of Consciousness, capturing the soul.

Before the Heart-devouring Insect could react, a vague shadow flashed from the peak, darting straight towards its brow.

The shadow moved impossibly fast, as if unrestrained by space, like a ghost arriving instantly.

The Heart-devouring Insect froze, eyes dull, as if losing consciousness.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan furrowed his brow, then quickly relaxed.

He proceeded to abandon the Heart-devouring Insect and continued towards the peak.

”Woo woo!”

The wind howled mournfully, carrying a soul-stirring power, echoing furiously across the peak.

Ancient trees towered, soul mist flowed, shadows of these ancient trees intertwined, resembling fiendish ghosts.

Having reached the innermost part of the peak, Gu Yuan raised his gaze, discovering beyond layers of ancient tree shadows a cave with a stone pool above.

Within the pool grew a crystal-clear, three-foot-tall tree like crystal.

The tree exuded a faint glow throughout, its transparent branches flowing with silvery-white liquid, imbued with a peculiar Spirit Charm.

On the crystal branches hung a silvery-white fruit resembling a Bright Moon, emanating a hazy moonlight, pure radiance illuminating the land.

”Taiyin Soul Ascending Fruit!”

This silver strange fruit seemed to possess an inexplicable attraction, immediately capturing Gu Yuan’s gaze.

Upon closer inspection, Gu Yuan’s face lit up with surprise.

Taiyin Soul Ascending Fruit, a Soul Dao Strange Fruit, only grows where Yin Qi is abundant and Soul Power overflowing, taking three hundred years to root, three hundred to sprout, three hundred to blossom, three hundred to bear fruit, and another three hundred to mature.

Meaning, a single Taiyin Soul Ascending Fruit takes at least fifteen hundred years to be born.

Throughout this period, Soul Power must not dissipate for a moment, or all effort collapses.

And the Taiyin Soul Ascending Fruit before him, Soul Power overflows, Taiyin forming liquid, clearly exceeding fifteen hundred years, likely over two thousand years!

It’s an extraordinary treasure.

Named Soul Ascension Fruit for its ability to ”ascend” the soul, consuming one instantly boosts Soul Power up a realm, effortlessly.

If cultivation is low, multiple realms may be breached, ascending in a single step!

Gu Yuan estimated consuming this fruit at his current realm would instantly advance Soul Power, breaking through Late Stage Golden Core and potentially reaching Golden Core Peak without trouble.

This is a supreme, expansive Soul Power fruit.

He was immediately filled with excitement.

”Buzz!”

At that moment, Gu Yuan’s Truth Revealing Treasure Mirror suddenly emitted rays of transparent divine light, illuminating forward towards the cave.

Within the dim soul mist, a vague shadow emerged from illusion to reality.

The shadow didn’t expect to be detected upon arriving at the pinnacle, immediately turning to gaze at Gu Yuan.

”It’s you?!”

Their gazes collided, both showing surprise.
