I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

”What is this anomaly?”

Sunx Fashan gazed at the mass of misty thunder mist within the Secret Realm, his heart deeply shaken.

The thunder mist was flickering with spiritual light, dazzling and splendid; it was undoubtedly a high-grade anomaly, but he couldn’t recognize its origin at that moment.

”Swoosh!”

Just then, in the flowing water screen in front of Sunx Fashan, the figure of the Daoist seemed to sense something, suddenly turned his head, and looked toward Sunx Fashan through the screen.

On his brow, thunder patterns flickered, as if a third eye had opened.

”Boom!”

Moreover, thunder mist surged behind him, and within the vast thunder light, a gigantic eye a thousand feet wide suddenly burst forth, carrying a cold and indifferent aura as it looked toward Sunx Fashan.

”Bang!!”

The flowing water screen in front of Sunx Fashan exploded with a thunderous crash, his heart and spirit were greatly shaken, as if struck by an iron hammer, with a warm feeling spreading through his ears and nostrils.

He reached out to touch it, and his fingertips immediately turned a bright red with blood.

”What terrifying divine thought and anomaly...”

He murmured to himself.

This flowing water screen was a technique taught to him by his master, the ”Observation Technique,” which could penetrate the secret realm’s restrictions to observe Gu Yuan’s breakthrough.

Although this technique wasn’t personally arranged by his master, but was a Dharma Seal crafted by himself following his master’s guidance, it was still incredibly profound and possessed incredible power.

Yet at this moment, Gu Yuan, across the vast Secret Realm, sensed his gaze out of thin air; this divine thought surpassed that of a Golden Core, having a hint of a Daoist Embryo, too terrifying.

Most critically, the anomaly behind him had, based on his brow’s Dharma, coalesced into a gigantic eye a thousand feet wide, forming an anomaly’s most fitting Dao Charm.

This profound change left him speechless for a long time.

But he dared not ”observe” any further.

This was already a warning.

He sighed deeply, consumed a pill to heal his wounds, then activated his Escape Light, left the Sect, seeking a place to train.

...

...

”Sunx Fashan?”

Within the Secret Realm, Gu Yuan withdrew his Dharma Eye, and pondered.

Having broken through to the Late Stage Golden Core, his Soul Power, already at Golden Core Peak, advanced further, possessing a touch of a Daoist Embryo’s thought.

Within a certain distance, any intent to spy on him could be sensed.

Despite Sunx Fashan watching him through the water screen across the Secret Realm, he was still detected.

The Great Thunder Origin Cave-Heaven Dharma Eye directly pierced through, combining with anomaly abilities, could injure enemies within the void; if Gu Yuan wished, this strike could have severely injured him.

However, Gu Yuan also sensed the ”special” nature of that water screen technique and withdrew some of his divine thought.

”A True Person granting technique, observing my breakthrough?”

Gu Yuan was moved, vaguely guessing the origin of this ”observation.”

Every late-stage Golden Core breakthrough is extremely difficult; witnessing it personally is beneficial for one’s cultivation.

This was observation, not malicious spying.

Gu Yuan was merely puzzled, why didn’t the True Person directly state their intentions, almost causing harm to Sunx Fashan?

He had some thoughts, but they were uncertain, and after this interlude, the feeling of being spied upon vanished, and Gu Yuan paid it no mind.

The anomaly condensed, and having broken through, now was a great time for cultivation!

”Booming!”

Between heaven and earth, boundless spiritual energy surged like a tsunami, roaring as it poured into Gu Yuan’s body.

The Thunder Flying Waterfall completely turned upside down, countless thunder lights rushed towards Gu Yuan like swallows returning to their nests.

His already surging mana soared rapidly, increasing exponentially.

One hundred strands!

Two hundred strands!

Five hundred strands!

Seven hundred strands!

Eight hundred strands!

In just an instant, his mana increased by eight hundred strands, reaching an enormous two thousand eight hundred strands.

The misty thunder mist behind him covered the sky like a primal mist, nearly two thousand feet!

The entire Myriad Phenomena Secret Realm was shrouded in thunder mist, all the spiritual energy within seemed to submit to Gu Yuan’s will.

An unprecedented sense of power intoxicated Gu Yuan, making him feel he could shatter the firmament with a stretch of his hand, pull the stars, shake the heavens and move the earth.

Of course, this was an illusion.

But the surge in strength was undeniable.

The augmentation of one’s mana at the Late Stage Golden Core is secondary; most importantly, it’s about anomaly condensation.

A low-grade anomaly can control spiritual energy in a five hundred mile radius, like a domain; within, the spiritual energy is akin to a tide, fully controlled by the cultivator.

With an anomaly, a Golden Core cultivator effectively gains thousands more strands of mana, nearly inexhaustible, an intimidating advantage.

Moreover, the appearance of an anomaly greatly enhances corresponding Dharma Seals, making magical combat prowess incomparable by any past measure.

A middle-grade anomaly wields the spiritual energy of a seven hundred mile sea, radiating divine might.

A high-grade anomaly, controls a thousand miles, fully under command.

If a low-grade anomaly Golden Core Cultivator encounters a high-grade anomaly Golden Core Cultivator, not only is their mana inferior, but their five hundred mile ”domain” is also suppressed.

At most, it can only exert four hundred miles.

This is also why it is said that low-grade anomalies cannot break through to Daoist Embryo.

Even though a middle-grade anomaly is inferior to a high-grade anomaly, it is hardly suppressed, providing an unparalleled boost to Dharma Seals, sufficient to put up a spirited fight.

At this moment, Gu Yuan’s anomaly reached nearly two thousand feet, which is double the size of a high-grade anomaly’s thousand feet.

At full strength, the mana and spiritual power he can mobilize is truly vast.

Having cultivated to this point, he could finally deservedly be called a Great Cultivator.

...

...

”Booming!”

Gu Yuan suddenly stopped, but he did not cease cultivating; instead, he continued to sit cross-legged, beginning to consolidate his realm, attempting to refine more mana.
