I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Outside Three Springs Island, an intense chase is unfolding.

A woman in a black dress, graceful and enchanting, with a face of extraordinary beauty and skin like snow, is riding an Escape Light, fleeing at high speed.

Behind her, two crimson flames relentlessly pursue.

The angry shout just now came from the leader of the flames.

Seeing the woman not respond, the youth within the flames sneered coldly.

”Stubborn fool!”

He then pointed with his finger, and a gigantic flame hand suddenly condensed and reached out towards the woman.

This flame hand, formed by some unknown Dharma Seal, was extremely hot, even causing a scorched smell in the void.

”Go!”

Seeing this, the woman showed urgency in her eyes and softly shouted, releasing a blue Thunder Flood Dragon to intercept the flame hand.

But her face was pale like gold leaf, her breath unsteady, and her Mana almost depleted; the Thunder Flood Dragon, lacking its former might, appeared thin and emaciated, no match for the flame hand, and was easily crushed in an instant.

”Hiss!”

The remaining force of the flame giant hand continued towards the woman.

The woman’s face showed a trace of despair, but recalling the youth behind her, a decisive look appeared in her eyes.

”Zheng! Zheng!”

At that moment, twenty dazzling sword lights shot up from the island below, incredibly sharp, tearing apart the flame giant hand in just an instant.

Not only that, the sword lights swirled like a dragon, tightly protecting the woman.

Seeing this, the two crimson flames stopped, revealing a red-haired youth and a white-haired elder.

The youth wore a crimson brocade robe, had a handsome face, a crimson jade hung at his waist, and his fingers adorned with fiery red rings, his entire image with crimson long hair looked like a blazing flame in the air, quite eye-catching.

His Mana was also extremely flamboyant, with eyes seemingly burning, just a step away from reaching Late-stage Foundation Establishment.

The elder behind him, though unremarkable in appearance with white hair, had a presence superior to the red-haired youth.

Finding his sure-kill move thwarted, the red-haired youth’s face darkened as he shouted downward:

”Where did this wild sword cultivator come from, daring to break my Magic?!”

No one answered, but behind the Floating Cloud Sword Light, a Daoist emerged.

The Daoist was exceptionally tall, more handsome than the red-haired youth, with billowing sleeves exuding a transcendent coldness, like secluded bamboo on a mountain peak, untouched by the human world.

Seeing the newcomer’s superior demeanor, the red-haired youth’s face turned even gloomier.

The woman, however, let out a sigh of relief, exclaiming joyfully, ”Daoist Brother!”

This woman was none other than Cen Qingqing.

In recent days, her emotions had been tumultuous.

With her peaceful cultivation, she had prepared many means, waiting for the ten-year appointment with Gu Yuan.

Unexpectedly, as the thunderstorm dispersed, her sect’s long-lost nemesis re-entered the Ten Thousand Islands Sea, targeting her directly.

Despite using all her methods, she couldn’t escape the pursuit, and in desperation, relied on the ”Guiding Seal” for a slim chance of survival.

The Spirit Fox led her straight to the Cave Mansion on Thunderwood Island; she thought she might find a lifeline and escape disaster.

Unexpectedly, the ”lifeline” quickly departed from the island.

Forced to exert the Spirit Fox’s power again, she still found nothing.

But to avoid falling into the hands of the Fire Cloud Sect, she had no choice but to flee towards the direction indicated before the Spirit Fox dissipated.

After a long time, there was still no sign of any ”lifeline.”

Just as she was about to give in to despair and self-destruct her Dao Body, unwilling to let those behind her succeed.

Unexpectedly, she finally caught up to that strand of ”lifeline” on this Spirit Island.

This ”lifeline” was precisely Gu Yuan.

Not seen for years, this person had unexpectedly broken through to Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment.

With his Sword Light arriving, the crisis immediately dissipated.

But all this was temporary; she knew well the identities of the two behind her, even if Gu Yuan had broken through to Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, it would still be difficult for him to resist.

She didn’t know why the Spirit Fox identified Gu Yuan as her ”lifeline,” but this person was indeed her last straw at this moment.

Thinking of this, she immediately gathered her Qi Power and transmitted a message to Gu Yuan: ”Daoist Brother, these two belong to the Fire Cloud Sect; the leader is the Golden Core Descendant of Master Red Mist, and the elder is his Guardian. They are not to be contended with. I only beg you to take me away from here; Qingqing will reward you handsomely!”

Master Red Mist’s Golden Core Descendant?

Gu Yuan was taken aback.

Although he didn’t know Master Red Mist, those called ”Ascendant” must be Golden Core Cultivators.

This youth before him was actually the Golden Core Descendant?!

Moreover, with a Guardian in tow, the degree of importance was obviously unusual.

Recalling the previous shout of ”Tripod Furnace” from the red-haired youth, Gu Yuan suddenly had a suspicion in his heart.

This made his eyebrows furrow slightly.

He was never one to meddle in others’ business.

The reason for saving Cen Qingqing was nothing more than her unique physique.

Although he didn’t heed the Heart-devouring Insect’s suggestion to capture her back then, he paid more attention to her.

After all, it’s about the Golden Core path; being more prepared never harms.

For the ten-year appointment, Gu Yuan had already decided to operate carefully.

Unexpectedly, midway, such a change occurred.

Someone was trying to beat him to it!

And that person was the Golden Core Descendant, accompanied by a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Guardian.

He subconsciously started to weigh his options.

But the red-haired youth already sneered up at Gu Yuan: ”I wondered who it was, turns out to be this bitch’s wild lover.”

”But you’re quite the coward too, never even took her Red Pill Primordial Yin. What, do you also wish to form a Golden Core?”

Hearing this, Gu Yuan lowered his gaze and blandly asked: ”Are Loose Cultivators unworthy of forming a Golden Core?”

”Hahaha, a Loose Cultivator dreaming of forming a Golden Core? That touch of Gold-Attribute would probably get killed long before it condenses!”

”Do you think learning a Sword Seal lets you glimpse the Dao?”

The red-haired youth sneered, clearly full of disdain.

”Enough, I can’t be bothered to waste words with you. Neither of you will leave today!”

The red-haired youth’s expression turned stern as he raised his hand, a crimson Dharma Seal materializing instantly.

The elder behind him, seeing this, also ignited Spiritual Light in his palm, seemingly ready to act.

The red-haired youth immediately shouted: ”Elder Lux, don’t interfere; he’s merely a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment. Allow me to slay him!”

”Just keep an eye on that bitch!”

The elder named Elder Lux frowned and said worriedly: ”This man’s aura is not ordinary, his Sword Qi extremely sharp, be careful, settle it in one battle. Today’s commotion has already been quite loud.”

”So what? In the Ten Thousand Islands Sea, who dares to block my Fire Cloud Sect?”

”Watch me slay the enemy!”
