I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

After all, he is not an ascetic, with the stone bottle in hand, he is destined to travel far and wide. However, cultivating the Thunder Technique is somewhat inconvenient without a fixed location, but if there is an artifact that can alter the weather and gather ten thousand thunders, it would be much more convenient.

So Gu Yuan proposed this idea.

Originally thinking twenty years would be tight, who knew the old fox would actually deliver.

The old demon in front of him had far richer resources than he imagined!

Gu Yuan sighed inwardly, but did not inquire further. Then, the Three-headed Infant Fox waved his large sleeve, summoning a hundred-foot-long flying boat and invited Gu Yuan aboard.

One person and one demon boarded the Dharma Boat, and in an instant, the Dharma Boat soared into the sky like a silver dragon, speeding towards the distance.

...

...

East Mountain Realm, Yunji Sect.

This sect is an illustrious Tier Four elite sect in the East Mountain Great Domain, with no less than five Daoist Embryo Cultivators in its ranks, dominating the East Mountain Realm for tens of thousands of years with overwhelming power.

There are dozens of Golden Core cultivators, countless disciples, and the sect’s spirit mountains stretch far and wide, with peaks gathered and rivers interwoven. The Mountain Gate Array alone spans tens of thousands of miles.

It is unknown how many spiritual birds, spirit monsters, and treasures of a hundred herbs are raised inside, flourishing to the extreme.

The subject sects, noble families, gangs, and nations under its rule are too numerous to count.

On normal days, the area around Yunji Sect’s mountain gate is already bustling with people and countless escape lights, resembling a celestial court on earth.

In recent years, the number of escape lights has suddenly increased tenfold.

Flying on cranes, riding clouds here, artifacts soaring in the sky, at one time, it seemed like half the cultivators of the East Mountain Realm had flocked here, densely packed, like mortals crowded together.

Fortunately, under Yunji Sect’s domain, there are a thousand spirit peaks, countless palaces, and numerous Cave Mansions like a chessboard, widespread and able to accommodate many cultivators for living and cultivating.

However, naturally, this is not free. The closer to Yunji Sect’s inner circle of the mountain gate, the more expensive the Cave Mansions are.

The price of a simple Cave Mansion on a Tier Two Spirit Peak costs thousands of Spirit Stones, yet even so, the demand exceeds the supply, and somewhat more luxurious mansions even require prior booking.

After all, only those residing in Yunji Sect are qualified to witness the ”Celestial Abyss Dharma Assembly.”

By today, the Celestial Abyss Dharma Assembly is no longer merely a simple assembly. Numerous Golden Core prodigies of the East Mountain Realm, along with many Mysterious Dharma Seals, will clash at this assembly. It can be said that this is one of the top sites in the East Mountain Realm for magical combat. The top three are bound to be the most elite Golden Core cultivators in the East Mountain Realm, hopefuls for the Daoist Embryo.

Cultivators are still human, with emotions and desires, who also enjoy watching great shows and witnessing peak magical combat.

The Celestial Abyss Dharma Assembly is held once every fifteen hundred years.

Therefore, everyone flocks here.

And among the thousand spirit peaks, there is a majestic peak thousands of feet tall, resembling a giant finger of a divine spirit pointing to the sky, known as Heaven-Pointing Peak, one of the seven main peaks of Yunji Sect.

”Clang!”

At this moment, a sound of a golden bell rang out from Heaven-Pointing Peak, followed by the clear recitations of a Daoist child.

”Divine Will Sect, Master Pingtian and Master of Three Words have arrived!”

The sound of reciting echoed through the peaks, heard by almost all residents.

This is also intentional by Yunji Sect, meant to let everyone know the origins of the participants of the assembly, to create momentum in advance and draw attention.

Those who are announced by name are the ones who purchased a ”Jade Token for the Dharma Assembly,” eligible to compete for the top three positions. The former is a Late Stage Golden Core cultivator, while the latter is a Mid-Stage Golden Core cultivator, truly the combatants.

”Divine Will Sect has come early this year!”

Once the names were announced, discussions immediately arose from the peaks.

”The Divine Will Sect failed to reach the top three several times, it is said that this time they have brought Yan Yin the Pride of Heaven, a rare genius in the sect for a thousand years, determined to compete for the top two. Could it be this Master of Three Words?”

”Master Pingtian, who I encountered once several hundred years ago, was then spirited and carefree, bearing the title Pingtian, yet now remains stagnant at the Late Stage Golden Core without progress, relying on his junior disciple in the sect to contend for this Longevity Fruit...”

Someone sighed among the peaks.

”Time is the cruelest, heroes of the world as countless as the dace crossing the river, yet how many can become a Daoist Embryo?”

”In the end, we all become nothing more than a handful of yellow earth!”

Someone lamented.

”Don’t say such useless things, when does the assembly begin?”

Someone asked eagerly.

”Do not be anxious, my East Mountain Realm is so vast, one must allow time for people to travel. These few days should be when various sects and loose cultivators gather, the assembly should start in three days.”

”This is my first time witnessing the assembly, what is the procedure? Where do we observe it from, so I can find a seat in advance!”

A person asked politely.

”Fellow Daoist might not know, the Celestial Abyss Dharma Assembly is named as such because within Yunji Sect there is a Celestial Abyss Pool. The pool water is connected to the East Sea’s Abyss, icy and bone-chilling, even Golden Core cultivators would freeze to death within a short time if they fell in.”

”Moreover, every thousand years, this pool spawns a batch of extremely ferocious, mindless Evil Whale Giant Demons, whose strength is exceedingly formidable and who are fiercely fearless of death. Yunji Sect has to exert effort every year to slay them to prevent harm to the sect.”

”But with the hosting of the assembly, this task is left to the cultivators competing for the Longevity Fruit.”

”The prizes for the top three of the assembly are placed on the three Spirit Islands behind the Celestial Abyss Pool. Whoever can pass through the Celestial Abyss and defend the Spirit Island can obtain the prize.”

”Yunji Sect has arranged Cloud Chariots above the Celestial Abyss. We only need to sit on them and watch the Ascendants’ magical combat quietly!”
