I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

The Gua Daoist shouted anxiously, but on the Treasure Boat, the crowd was unable to move.

The Yin Crossing Treasure Boat required the combined effort of six people to be activated; it was a rare treasure boat crafted by the Spirit Treasure Sect, and the others were powerless to break this ”procedure”.

”Flood Dragon, where’s your Flood Dragon?”

”Quickly release it, occupy the Spiritual Pillar, and drive the Dharma Boat!”

Suddenly, the Gua Daoist thought of something and hurriedly said to Songg Yuyang.

Songg Yuyang’s face was slightly pale as he meditated with his eyes closed, not speaking. However, from his sleeve emerged a small green Flood Dragon with distinct scale armor, its eyes coldly watching the crowd, clearly protecting Songg Yuyang during his cultivation.

”Gather the pills, gather the pills for him so he can quickly recover his mana. We can’t delay any longer!”

”Bring out the Gold-Attribute Spirit Stones as well.”

Seeing this, the Gua Daoist’s eyes flashed, he hastily said, and quickly took a Jade Bottle from his sleeve and tossed it to Songg Yuyang.

The green Flood Dragon displayed caution in its eyes, stretched its neck, and snatched the Jade Bottle in its mouth, uncorking it and giving it a gentle sniff before finally relaxing.

”Do not engage in unnecessary caution. For a Golden Core Cultivator to recover mana, even with the help of pills and Gold-Attribute Spirit Stones, one cannot hope to fully recover without at least the time it takes an incense stick to burn. This precious pill of mine is called [Joyful Liquid]; by consuming this liquid, one can avoid pill poison and ingest ten pills in quick succession, rapidly recovering mana!”

”Swallow it quickly, catch up with that little thief once recovered!”

The Gua Daoist urged urgently.

He was truly anxious.

All along, relying on his divination technique and intelligence from the Insight Secret Realm, he had remained calm and unflustered.

Even when signs of great misfortune appeared and the divination technique was unable to predict further, he still kept a trump card to contend with it, this being why he lingered in the Secret Realm.

But now it seemed clear, he was wrong, he was wrong from the start!

This sign of great misfortune was not that white-haired boy at all, but that Sword Cultivator!

If not for that Sword Cultivator, who could have so easily defeated Songg Yuyang, crossed the Treasure Burial Lake with sheer physical prowess, heading unopposed towards Spirit Treasure Cliff?

Such a person, going first to Spirit Treasure Cliff, what chance of survival was there left for them?

If the Spiritual Treasure fell into his hands, no trump card of his would be of any use.

”Boy, did you gain any opportunities on that Soul Peak that day? Why could you walk out unscathed?!”

Songg Yuyang opened his eyes, took the [Joyful Liquid], then took out a gourd of pills, swallowing them all at once. Mana within him began to surge like a river bursting its banks, rapidly recovering. Meanwhile, taking this opportunity, the Gua Daoist turned his head to question the white-haired youth.

Previously, he dared not question, as he had regarded this person as his greatest ”imagined enemy”, but with a greater threat now appearing, such inquiries came naturally.

”Taiyin Soul Ascending Fruit!”

”He got it!”

The white-haired youth spoke, his voice hoarse and grating, and his words caused the Gua Daoist to nearly vomit blood in vexation.

”Taiyin Soul Ascending Fruit?! Of what age?!”

The Gua Daoist, eyes red, asked.

”Two thousand years!”

The white-haired youth hesitated briefly, but still accurately stated the age.

The Gua Daoist truly wanted to vomit blood, stomping his feet and saying, ”A two-thousand-year-old Soul Ascension Fruit, that requires Late Stage Golden Core soul power; no wonder my divination couldn’t fathom it. It already surpassed my realm of Divine Soul Power, naturally carrying a bit of divination negation ability. You, you, you, how could you let this man get such advantages and not say a word?!!”

This Sword Cultivator was already exceptionally powerful; obtaining the Soul Ascension Fruit would be like adding wings to a tiger, to what terrifying level would he rise?

The fact that this white-haired youth could keep silent, even sitting together on the boat, with such indifference, was he truly unafraid that the Sword Cultivator could unsheathe his sword at any moment and kill them all!

”Why should I have spoken?”

The white-haired youth retorted.

The Gua Daoist was close to madness: ”You, you, how did you even cultivate to the Golden Core stage? Such a person, and you actually hid it, don’t you understand the strategy of alliances and coalitions? If you had spoken, we could have joined forces to deal with this person, gained the upper hand, why fall into the current predicament!”

”Couldn’t get it!”

”Then, forget it!”

Confronted with the Gua Daoist’s hysteria, the white-haired youth only uttered these two sentences with a dismissive air.

Seeing this, the Gua Daoist couldn’t help but clutch his hair furiously, wanting to burst out in curses, yet swallowing them down with effort.

Calm! Calm!

A great enemy was at hand; they should not be internally disrupted.

But he couldn’t help but curse internally, in the way of the Dao, only those who strive can succeed, with such a lackadaisical attitude, how had this person cultivated till now?

That he had ever considered this person a sign of great misfortune, how foolish! How foolish!

Was such a person even worthy?!

How had such a character managed to walk out of Soul Peak unscathed? It would have been better to let that Sword Cultivator kill him with one strike from the start, saving him the wild speculation.

But as he cursed, the Gua Daoist suddenly calmed down.

Perhaps, just because of this person’s nature, could he have walked out of Soul Peak unscathed?

If he had entered Soul Peak that day to compete for the Soul Ascension Fruit, what would have been the outcome?

The sign of great misfortune, was it all due to this place?

With a jolt of fear and some enlightenment, the Gua Daoist came to a realization.

”Go!”

At that moment, Songg Yuyang suddenly raised his head and coldly uttered a word.

With the help of the Gua Daoist’s [Joyful Liquid], he swallowed more than ten pills in one go, and at this moment, his mana had recovered to eight or nine-tenths, fully capable of powering the Treasure Boat.

As he spoke, the green Flood Dragon before him swam through the void, coiling upon the Spiritual Pillar left by Gu Yuan, pouring mana into it.

The bristly-bearded man and the Thunder Flood Dragon Strongman each slightly meditated, then imbued their mana, coiling into place.

Only the white-haired youth showed a hint of hesitation.
