I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

”Boom!”

Between heaven and earth, thunderclouds rolled, electricity surged, and endless steam pervaded, obscuring the sun.

With the eye power of a Golden Core Cultivator, all one could perceive was darkness over the earth, a vast fog, with vision only reaching to endless steam.

This was a torrential downpour spanning heaven and earth, covering tens of thousands of miles.

Gu Yuan stood atop the sky, looking at the endless steam, his eyes involuntarily filled with emotion.

Beside him, Master Shenyi also looked on longingly, sighing softly.

”This is the terror of a Tier Five Celestial Demon.”

”Every hundred years, the Flood Dragon within Xingling River, comparable to Venerable Yuanxiang, would ingest spiritual qi from tens of thousands of miles, stretch its body, and refine its demon pill.”

”To the Celestial Demon, it’s merely stretching and flexing its muscles, but to the tens of thousands of miles of heavens and earth, it’s an indescribable change in qi, where pouring rain falls without escape, all external techniques being suppressed by the Water Element.”

June’s time had come, these thousands of miles, indeed as foretold by Master Cangming, pouring rain worsened, and anomalies were ceaseless.

And Gu Yuan also discerned the origin of these anomalies.

This downpour was not generated by heaven and earth, but stirred by a Tier Five Celestial Demon Flood Dragon refining its demon pill, inducing anomalies.

The Xingling River where the Flood Dragon resides was tens of thousands of miles away from here, yet it still altered the skies, proving its terrifying strength.

Gu Yuan gazed upon it, repeatedly marveling.

”Let us go, June’s time has arrived, torrential rain rushes forth, it’s time to rendezvous with Senior Brother Tiandou!”

Master Shenyi glanced at the pouring rain, turning to Gu Yuan and said.

”Please lead the way, Senior Brother!”

Gu Yuan withdrew his gaze, clasping his hand in a gesture of respect.

During the month of June, he had successfully elevated his Sword Pill and refined the Taiyin Dharma Seal. All preparations complete, the time had arrived, with Master Shenyi personally inviting him, he naturally followed suit.

This was a significant affair of conquering mountains and delivering a Sect-breaking blow, but it mustn’t disturb too many.

Otherwise, Daoist Embryo Cultivators, how swift would any escape light flee, and who could pursue?

Therefore, the attack on Jiuyi Mountain, aside from a few core figures, was unbeknownst to the rest of the disciples from the two sects.

Once the array-breaking is complete, when top-tier cultivators of the Celestial Demon Sect find escape difficult, the disciples of the two sects will launch a massive attack to seize the extensive territory associated with the Celestial Demon Sect.

...

At this moment, under Master Shenyi’s lead, the two arrived deep in the Thousand Waves Sect, within a silver hall.

Within the hall, jade pillars stood tall, countless silver array patterns flickered incessantly, exuding the aura of the Shifting Celestial Cycle.

Inside the hall, seven Golden Core cultivators stood waiting.

Ding Zhichong, Hann Yunsheng, and others were among those present.

However, their faces were filled with a solemn expression, clearly aware of the matter only not long ago.

”This matter concerns the thousand-year grand plan of both sects, it cannot fail. Although your battle prowess isn’t the finest, through decades of experience within the Minghuang Secret Realm, you’ve achieved something, hence you should hold the orders and proceed!”

”I reiterate, without my command, do not leave the array banner of your own accord!”

Master Shenyi’s gaze shot out like lightning, sternly addressing the seven.

”We obey Senior Brother’s decree!”

All seven bowed their heads, responding loudly.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan also nodded slightly.

In fact, months earlier, he had already sent orders, summoning the Sloppy Daoist and Old Turtle from Cloud Dream Marsh to come to the Thousand Waves Sect to assist in this matter.

Given that one is human and one is a demon, one at Mid-Stage Golden Core, the other at Mid-Stage Great Demon, their battle prowess was formidable, they could be of great use during mountain and sect-breaking times.

However, they were refused by Master Shenyi.

In attacking the Celestial Demon Sect, it was not about many, but elite.

With fourteen Golden Core cultivators from Thousand Waves Sect and Cyan Peak Daoist School, although some might not be stronger than outsiders, they all practiced Profound Sect True Technique and are from the same origin, familiar for years, are the most suited candidates for the Mount Slaying Heaven-Earth Disc.

This battle involves Daoist Embryo, four Late Stage Golden Core, and the Mount Slaying Heaven-Earth Array.

If the Grand Array is intact, and the Daoist Embryo undefeated, even more Golden Core cultivators are futile.

Thus, all external support is merely for clearing the battlefield, not key to array-breaking.

”There’s no time to lose, follow me!”

Master Shenyi waved his robe, taking the lead, stepping into the hall atop the array.

In an instant, a brilliant silver light shimmered, a transparent portal quietly emerged, appearing in the center of the hall.

Beyond the portal, a faint silhouette of another green hall could be seen, inside faint shadows awaited.

As a Tier Four Sect in the East Mountain Realm, the Thousand Waves Sect naturally possessed the Shifting Celestial Cycle Void Array, which on the other end connected to the Cyan Peak Treasure Pavilion established by Cyan Peak Daoist School within the East Mountain Realm.

”Senior Brother Gu, please!”

Master Shenyi stepped forward, disappearing, then a cultivator, crowned with a Furong Crown, solemnly saluted Gu Yuan, bowing in invitation for him to enter the hall.

This was none other than Master Luoyun, the Thousand Waves Sect’s foremost Mid-Stage Golden Core, only one step shy of breaking through to Late Stage Golden Core. Had Gu Yuan not advanced, it would have been him, carrying the sect’s secret treasure, following Master Shenyi to attack Jiuyi Mountain.

Upon hearing, Gu Yuan obliged, calmly stepping forward, entering the Grand Array.

As they watched Gu Yuan’s young silhouette, the expressions of those in the hall turned complex.

Decades ago, when this person first came to Thousand Waves Sect, he was merely an Early Stage Golden Core, excluding the Ding Family, the rest watched coldly as he clashed with Zhang Family.

Yet in the blink of an eye, Zhang Family toppled, he advanced to Mid-Stage Golden Core, shaking with momentum, and now in mere decades, he had already achieved Late Stage Golden Core!
