I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

The East Mountain Realm, vast and boundless, is home to countless Spirit Peaks, numerous Great Rivers, and a population of untold billions. It is the most fertile and prosperous Great Domain outside the Central Land Divine State.

In this place, the Immortal Path flourishes, so much so that even the barbaric children of the deep forests and deserted islands have heard of the tales of the Immortal Families.

Large and small Sects are scattered like stars, hidden in the high mountains and deep valleys, where countless Demon Beasts thrive and reproduce.

Every day, fortuitous encounters happen on this land.

Within this vast Great Domain lies a vast Great Marsh, sprawling for thousands of miles, situated in the southwestern part of the East Mountain Realm.

Under the high skies and expansive waters, the Great Marsh glimmers with light; golden koi leap about, and gigantic beasts frolic, while in the sky, Spiritual Birds and Immortal Cranes occasionally fly by.

Looking around, above and below, in all directions, water and sky blend seamlessly, with mist curling around and light rain blurring the view—a true Immortal Family scene.

Amidst the light rain’s blur, countless green lotus leaves are situated on the Great Marsh.

The sizes of these lotus leaves vary, with the smallest only a few acres and the largest reaching hundreds or even thousands of acres, floating above the Great Marsh like a green carpet.

On top of the lotus leaves, greenish structures, resembling palaces grown from vines, are arranged in specific positions, exuding an elegant charm.

The entire Great Marsh is devoid of Spirit Islands or Spirit Peaks; it only has these large lotus leaves, carrying palaces, floating and drifting endlessly.

At this moment, deep within the Great Marsh, on a lotus leaf the size of a hundred acres, within a grand and majestic palace, nine figures each sit on a mat, discussing important matters.

”Fellow junior brothers, the Golden Core cultivator from the Cyan Peak Daoist School will soon arrive at our Sect. What attitude should we adopt to deal with this person?”

The leader, a middle-aged Daoist with a Furong Crown, dressed in a blue robe, with a handsome appearance and an ethereal aura, looked around at the others and said.

”Senior Brother Zhu, this matter was determined by Senior Brother Ren and the True Person. What else can we do? Let it be!”

As soon as this person finished speaking, a young cultivator in a wide-sleeved sea-blue robe immediately replied from a mat below.

”Even so, do we really have to open the way for that outsider from Cyan Peak Daoist School to freely practice our Sect’s Dharma Seal?”

”Though the Cyan Peak Daoist School is a dominant force in the South Mountain Domain, it is not that impressive in the East Mountain Realm. Why would a True Person agree to such a demand?”

Another cultivator spoke from a mat below, with a tone of doubt.

”Junior Brother Sun, be cautious with your words!”

”How can we fathom the thoughts of a True Person? Cyan Peak Daoist School is, after all, Celestial Palace’s outpost in the South Mountain Domain. Establishing good relations with them might bring us information from the Celestial Palace. As for the Dharma Seal, if it’s not allowed to be passed outside, who cares who practices it?”

”Over the years, we have not been changing Sects for the first time; let it happen!”

Another Golden Core cultivator spoke up from a mat.

”The thoughts of a True Person are naturally beyond our reach. Since this has been agreed upon, it cannot be changed; otherwise, we would appear fickle as the Thousand Waves Sect.”

”However, in my opinion, this matter is far too easy. Otherwise, he might think that the Dharma Seal of our Thousand Waves Sect is that easy to cultivate!”

”We could set up some barriers. If he can bear it, let him practice in peace. If not, then it just proves that our Thousand Waves Sect’s Dharma Seal is not for the untalented, and the Cyan Peak Daoist School will have no grounds for complaint!”

Another Golden Core cultivator in the hall spoke up.

”No, if we set up barriers, Junior Brother Ding will undoubtedly face difficulties in the Cyan Peak Daoist School.”

”Changing Sects is supposed to be a win-win situation; why complicate it unnecessarily?”

”His cultivation won’t affect us, so let him be!”

Another Golden Core cultivator voiced his opinion, speaking calmly.

At this point, if outsiders were present in the hall, they would clearly see that two factions had formed within.

One faction favored allowing the Sect-swapping individual to cultivate without obstruction.

The other faction wanted to add barriers to hinder the Sect-swapping individual’s cultivation.

At the head of the hall, the middle-aged cultivator with the Furong Crown was also troubled.

He naturally knew the reason for the dispute in the hall, which was nothing more than the conflict between Junior Brother Ding and Junior Brother Zhang.

The Thousand Waves Sect has deep roots, producing a treasured pill every few centuries.

The pill is called the ”True Law Form Intention Pill.” It grants early-stage Golden Core cultivators insight into the True Scripture and True Intention, directly breaking the realm and achieving the mid-stage Golden Core.

When the Thousand Waves Sect was founded, it established a rule that the ownership of the pill would be determined by Magical Combat!

Among the early-stage Golden Core cultivators, the one with the most formidable skills would receive the pill and break through directly.

In this generation of the Thousand Waves Sect, the two most powerful early-stage Golden Core cultivators are Junior Brother Ding and Junior Brother Zhang.

Recently, although Junior Brother Ding seized the Sect-swapping slot, it is clear to anyone that Junior Brother Zhang was only a step behind and is not without a chance. Moreover, the Zhang Clan is a top noble family within the Thousand Waves Sect, with three Golden Core members supporting them in the hall.

The Zhang Clan fears that Junior Brother Ding will learn Mysterious Techniques in the Cyan Peak Daoist School, greatly increasing his strength, and upon his return, completely overshadow the Zhang Clan. Thus, they are desperately obstructing this matter, hoping to frustrate the individual from the Cyan Peak Daoist School, causing them to blame Junior Brother Ding and ruin the Sect-swapping mission.

This strategy is rather ruthless.

However, neither the True Person nor Senior Brother Ren, a late-stage Golden Core, had firmly decided on the plan, leaving it for the crowd to discuss, seemingly indulging the Zhang family, which made their arrogance even greater.

Therefore, the person in charge of this matter became increasingly worried, not knowing what to do.
