I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

”The tactic of attacking from the east and striking in the west...”

”How interesting!”

Although the commotion wasn’t small, it was hundreds of miles away, plus that Demon Cultivator Golden Core deliberately controlled the fluctuations of his aura, making it impossible for Gu Yuan’s Divine Sense to probe such a distant place.

But he came to eliminate demons, so he was well prepared.

Cyan Peak Daoist School has deep foundations over the years, not just for show.

In the Daoist School, there’s a Tier Three Array Disc, known as the ”Eight Clouds Celestial Array”.

This array can release mountain clouds and mist to conceal aura; ordinary Golden Core Cultivators can’t detect it. Besides, it can monitor changes in the celestial, and if the aura fluctuations of a Golden Core Cultivator appear within ten thousand miles, they will be detected by the array disc.

However, this array disc also has limitations. If a Golden Core Cultivator hides without using mana, the disc is powerless to monitor it.

It can be considered just a warning device.

Gu Yuan firmly stationed at Little Screen Mountain, as immovable as a mountain, relying on this array disc.

Previously, although the unknown barren mountain had treasure lights shooting into the sky, the array disc showed nothing, so Gu Yuan, for precaution, used the Stone Liquid.

Now, on the array disc, red light dots flickered endlessly; unmistakably the aura of a Golden Core.

Without a doubt, it must be a Demon Cultivator.

Gu Yuan didn’t hesitate, he put away the array disc and took out a silver Spirit Stone from his sleeve.

This is the leftover ”Void Stone” from the Daoist School’s opening of a trade route. Holding this stone, all Escape Light has enhancements; the only drawback is that when driving the Escape Light, one must not engage in intense mana magical combat, otherwise, there’s a risk of void explosion.

But using it for travel poses no problem at all.

”Boom!”

Gu Yuan’s mind moved, suddenly transformed into a rainbow and disappeared into the vast sky.

The few Loose Cultivators in Little Screen Mountain only felt the heavens open up; the cloud and mist that had trapped them for long finally dispersed, they were overwhelmed with joy and tears.

...

...

Fengtang Pass.

Above the city, a massive black demonic smoke rolled and transformed in the sky into a grimacing skeletal demon head.

This demon head was immense, covering the sky and sun, larger than the city itself.

”Whew!”

Suddenly, the demon head opened its mouth wide, and forcibly inhaled towards the city below.

This inhalation didn’t cause a sensation of shaking earth and mountains, nor did it stir the wind and clouds, yet the cultivators and citizens in the city were horrified to discover their black hair turning gray instantly; even the smooth skin of young children showed traces of wrinkles.

An invisible gray-white Essence Qi surged from all directions of the city and rushed towards the mouth of the demon head.

”Boom!!”

At this moment, a brilliant golden light, like the Great Sun, suddenly came, in an instant crossing mountains and rivers to arrive above the city.

”Zing!”

Before the golden light arrived, a dazzling sword light, even faster, swiftly flew and pierced towards a vague figure beyond the clouds.

”How did it arrive so quickly?!”

The figure’s expression changed, apparently didn’t expect help to come so swiftly; with a wave of the sleeve, immediately scattered a mass of black smoke.

The black smoke transformed in the air into a black Demon Net, with Evil Qi floating within, seeming to carry extremely strong corrosive power.

”Zum!”

But the sword light merely twisted, and the black Demon Net instantly was torn apart, shredded by countless Sword Qi.

The sword light then swiftly turned, split into two, two into three, three into fifteen, directly dividing into fifteen sword lights.

Eight of the sword lights charged forward without losing momentum, continuing to pierce towards the figure beyond the clouds.

The remaining seven sword lights divided out, soaring upward to directly slash towards the massive demon head above Fengtang Pass.

”Bang!”

The demon head above Fengtang Pass, though appearing immense, was entirely an illusion, and under the sword light’s twist, it directly dispersed into black smoke.

Countless gray-white Essence Qi in the air scattered downwards, returning to the people’s bodies below.

Amidst the rolling black smoke, a black Dharma Seal transformed into a stream of light, rapidly moving backward.

”Eh?”

In a fleeting glance, Gu Yuan seemed to see a Dao Seal underneath the Dharma Seal, faintly revealing a ”Longevity” character.

His mind moved, and the sword light sped; seven sword lights moved to and fro, like a silver sword net, trying to intercept the black Dharma Seal.

”Clang!”

Just then, a fierce shout echoed, and a gray-white bone fork, carrying a strange Spiritual Light, suddenly attacked.

This bone fork had Dao Patterns shining, though eerie, it was unmistakably a true Artifact.

The sword light touched it, producing clinking sounds, but couldn’t cause any harm to the bone fork.

On the contrary, the bone fork emitted a strange Spiritual Mechanism; as the sword light touched it, even for an instant, it seemed polluted, the sword light’s motion became erratic, as if drunk.

Meanwhile, the black Dharma Seal took the opportunity to fall into a pair of pale, slender hands.

The sword light returned fruitlessly, yet Gu Yuan wasn’t angered, merely looked at the person opposite.

It was a cultivator clad in black robes, high nose with broad eyebrows; judging by the facial features, he should be young, yet the temples were graying, eyes cloudy, looking like a middle-aged man worn by toil.

At this moment, this Demon Cultivator was staring at Gu Yuan with a face full of gloom, coldness in his eyes.

He never expected that using a Secret Technique to invoke a great treasure would fail to drag Gu Yuan even slightly.

If he could delay for a moment, after seizing these citizens’ lifespan, he could have escaped.

”So it’s Fellow Daoist Donghua in person, I am Zong Feibai, a humble Loose Cultivator, and greet the Upper Sect Golden Core!”

Though evil thoughts surged within, he forcefully held them back, pulling a smile at the corners of his mouth, and saluted Gu Yuan.
