I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

”Great Thunder Origin Celestial Scripture?”

”Golden Bone Thunder Aperture?”

Gu Yuan’s divine thought surged forth, and he carefully pondered over the jade scroll that flickered with thunder, a pensive expression appearing on his face.

This is a thunder technique that can be cultivated to the Daoist Embryo Realm, vigorous and unmatched. Whether for cultivation or magical combat, it is on par with the Daoist Academy Three True Classics.

The only flaw is that it can only break through to the Daoist Embryo. Beyond the Daoist Embryo, the technique hits a bottleneck, and it’s unclear how to proceed.

Besides, this scripture also requires a high level of aptitude for cultivation.

The scripture explicitly states that cultivating this technique with the ”Golden Bone Thunder Aperture” can yield twice the result with half the effort!

”This scripture indeed suits me quite well, and if I refine a Sword Pill, augmented by the Thunder technique, its power could reach even greater heights...”

The more Gu Yuan read, the more he felt this scripture was most suitable for him.

The only regret was the lack of a subsequent cultivation technique, halting at the Daoist Embryo Realm.

However, in the Transmission Hall, apart from the Three True Classics, other techniques are challenging to cultivate to the Primordial Image Realm.

Therefore, Gu Yuan had to choose between this scripture and the Beiming Freedom Scripture.

”Compared to the Beiming Freedom Scripture, the Great Thunder Origin Celestial Scripture is more suitable for later switching of cultivation techniques...”

Gu Yuan mused inwardly, secretly comparing the pros and cons of these two techniques.

Perhaps knowing that the technique itself has flaws, these mysterious techniques all left openings for switching cultivation. As long as the Golden Core remains intact, switching to other scriptures would require much less effort.

In comparison, once one begins cultivating the Beiming Freedom Scripture, switching techniques requires depleting the Water Vein, entering a prolonged period of weakness.

”If one harbors no greed, why cultivate immortality?”

”Better to sit idle and die!”

After a slight deliberation, Gu Yuan made no hesitation and directly took down the jade scroll of the ”Great Thunder Origin Celestial Scripture.”

He held the Stone Liquid in his hand, harboring greed, hoping for better techniques, so what he needed now was a ”transition piece.”

And the Great Thunder Origin Celestial Scripture was the most perfect solution.

...

...

Three months later, at Purple Sun Peak.

Compared to before, Purple Sun Peak had already changed its appearance.

Ancient spirit woods, with bark charred black and branches and leaves twisted and sprawling, had been transplanted from unknown origins, taking root on the cliff in mysterious positions.

In the center of the ancient forest, there lay a cyan Jade Pool.

Within the Jade Pool, a strange liquid filled it, and as the liquid flowed, threads of electric light flickered without cease.

Around the Jade Pool, golden patterns covered the ground, and blue Command Banners fluttered in the wind, stirring the immense spiritual qi at Purple Sun Peak.

”Everything is ready; the cultivation can begin...”

Gu Yuan, dressed in a cyan Daoist Robe, stood midair, looking at the ancient forest and Jade Pool before him, a satisfied smile on his face.

After breaking through to the Golden Core, the spiritual qi required for cultivation became increasingly vast, and only a Tier Three Spirit Peak could nourish a Golden Core Cultivator.

But apart from Heaven-Earth Spiritual Vein, there’s another way for a Golden Core Cultivator to cultivate.

That is the Power of Heaven-Earth, such as the sun, moon, and stars.

The Daoist Academy Dean transmitted True Scriptures like the Golden Brilliance Great Sun Sword Scripture, which can invoke the power of the Great Sun, bathing in Golden Fire for cultivation, minimizing the need for Heaven-Earth Spiritual Vein, seeking everything from the heavens.

The other two True Scriptures undeniably require the Water Vein Earth Fire.

Otherwise, progress in cultivation would be difficult.

The Great Thunder Origin Celestial Scripture chosen by Gu Yuan is also a Dharma Gate that seeks from the heavens, capable of invoking Thunder Power to absorb Heaven-Earth Thunder Qi.

However, a Dharma Gate that seeks from the heavens doesn’t mean it entirely forgoes resources.

How to invoke the Great Sun Thunder is crucial.

In the Golden Fire Spiritual Land, invoking the power of the Great Sun is naturally easier and more abundant and intense.

On the Thunder Vein Spirit Mountain, summoning Thunder is naturally simpler.

If there is no Thunder Vein on the Spirit Peak itself, then entraining the Array is necessary, relying on external force to continually invoke Thunder.

This is not a simple task.

At the very least, a Tier Three Array is required to invoke Thunder Power enough to support a Golden Core Cultivator’s cultivation, consuming a considerable amount of spiritual materials.

Fortunately, Gu Yuan is a Major Sect Golden Core, and does not need to worry much about a Tier Three Array.

With the full support of the Array Hall, in just three months, a ”Cloud-Calling Thunder-Invoking Array” was set up on the top of Purple Sun Peak.

However, this array can only support cultivation at the Early Stage Golden Core. Should Gu Yuan advance to Mid-Stage Golden Core, he either has to figure out how to set up a more powerful array or seek a place abundant in Thunder Vein.

Just relying on Purple Sun Peak and one array is not enough to sustain his entire Golden Core Realm cultivation.

But for now, it is sufficient.

As the golden array patterns lit up on the cliff, the vast spiritual qi of the entire Purple Sun Peak continuously surged into the ”Cloud-Calling Thunder-Invoking Array.”

”Boom!”

In the sky, faint electric lights flickered, and clusters of thunderclouds quietly gathered.

Unlike the destructive dominance of celestial tribulations, the Cloud-Calling Thunder-Invoking Array merely gathered the power of Thunder Element between heaven and earth.

Threads of electric light converged from all directions, transforming into purple-blue thunderclouds, floating atop Purple Sun Peak.

Within the thunderclouds, the dense spiritual qi collided, carrying a subtle hint of vitality amid its utmost yang and firm essence.

”Splash!”

Gu Yuan took off his Daoist Robe and stepped into the Cyan Jade Pool, sitting cross-legged within the pool.

The cyan liquid submerged all but his head, leaving only his head exposed above the liquid.

The liquid in the Jade Pool, called ”Golden Thunder Bone Liquid,” is a secret spiritual liquid mentioned in the Great Thunder Origin Celestial Scripture. It can temporarily enhance root bone, allowing cultivators to absorb vast amounts of Thunder Element power during their initial cultivation of this scripture, converting it into mana.

This pool of Golden Thunder Bone Liquid alone requires at least several million Spirit Stones, and the materials ground for it cannot be exchanged for ordinary Spirit Stones.
