I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Heaven-Pointing Peak, Guangyun Hall.

This hall was majestic, towering a hundred zhang high, perched atop the mountain, flanked by swirling clouds and flowing celestial waterfalls, presenting an immortal realm scene.

In the hall, a red-lipped and white-toothed Daoist child held a golden register, respectfully bowing to the two figures before him: ”Esteemed seniors, please leave your names so that this humble one may record them for the purposes of the Dharma Assembly.”

”Name? It’s been so long since I’ve used it, I’ve almost forgotten. Just note down Cloud Dream Marsh, Qiuu Canxuan!”

The Three-headed Infant Fox showed a hint of reminiscence in its eyes and sighed.

The Daoist child dared not delay, quickly jotting it down with a vermilion brush, then turned his gaze to Gu Yuan, asking: ”Ascendant, could you provide your real name for this humble one to record?”

The Celestial Abyss Dharma Assembly was already a grand event for the Yunji Sect, and to maximize the expansion of its benefits, broad publicity was necessary, so besides announcing the names and titles of participants, the Yunji Sect would also register the real names of the attendees.

After all, the East Mountain Realm is vast, and occasionally titles may overlap. Recording the real names not only makes it easier for recognition but also allows for better compilation into records for future generations.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but smile and replied: ”My surname is Li, my real name is my title, just note it down!”

”So it’s Senior Feiyu!”

The Daoist child hurriedly noted it with his vermilion brush.

The Three-headed Infant Fox cast a discreet glance at Gu Yuan, aware that this name was false, but unsure why this name would bring such amusement to Gu Yuan, as if encountering something amusing.

Yet naturally, it would not inquire further, nor would Gu Yuan offer an explanation.

”Esteemed seniors, the Dharma Assembly is set for three days hence. Our sect has prepared a Cave Mansion pavilion for the two of you, please follow the Spiritual Crane and take a moment to rest.”

After recording the names of the two, the Daoist child waved his hand, and two more red-lipped and white-toothed Daoist children walked out from outside the hall, leading two Spiritual Cranes, respectfully bowing to the two figures.

Gu Yuan and his companion nodded slightly, then followed the Daoist children, preparing to head to the Cave Mansion pavilion for a temporary rest.

”Boom!”

Just then, outside Guangyun Hall, a cyan bird resembling a Simurgh Phoenix flapped its wings, like a cyan beam of light, heading towards the hall.

And following behind the Cyan Simurgh was a mass of magic smoke, like a black meteor, streaking through the void, also heading towards the hall.

”Oh?!”

Gu Yuan and the Three-headed Infant Fox exchanged a glance and instinctively halted their steps.

The face of the Daoist child in the hall also slightly changed.

The speed of these two lights was so fast that in the blink of an eye, they had landed in front of the hall.

As the beams of light dissipated, a crane-haired, childlike-faced elder wearing a star crown emerged atop the cyan bird, his aura deep, evidently at the late stage of the Golden Core.

Hidden within the black magic smoke appeared a black-robed, red-haired youth wearing a bone chain.

The youth, with his handsome appearance and graceful demeanor, showed no apparent abnormalities, but his escape light emitted Evil Qi, unabashed, coupled with the bone chain made of thirty-six small skulls hanging from his neck, instantly revealing his identity.

This person was not from the Profound Sect but was a Demon Cultivator Golden Core!

”Old fox, you’re here too? Is this your choice for magical combat? Looks rather unremarkable!”

The elder wearing the star crown cast a sweeping glance before settling on the Three-headed Infant Fox and Gu Yuan, letting out a low chuckle.

”Old Ghost Huai, is this your chosen one for magical combat? A Demon Cultivator?”

The Three-headed Infant Fox evidently knew the elder and did not respond to his inquiry, instead casting his gaze on the red-haired youth, solemnly questioning.

”Hahaha, why not?!”

The elder with the star crown laughed heartily, then looked to the Daoist child in the hall, commanding: ”Why are you still dawdling, quickly register us and announce to all peaks!”

The Daoist child awoke from his daze but dared not register them, instead tapping on his waist-bound Jade Token.

But before he could complete the gesture, a middle-aged cultivator clad in a cloud-patterned Daoist robe and standing in cloud boots, with a dignified demeanor, materialized within Guangyun Hall.

His mana deep as an ocean, endlessly surging.

”Greetings to the Peak Master!”

Seeing the newcomer, the Daoist child immediately bowed respectfully.

This was none other than the Peak Master of Heaven-Pointing Peak, the Golden Core Peak Great Cultivator, Master Mingde.

”Fellow Daoist Mingde!”

Upon seeing him, both the elder wearing the star crown and the Three-headed Infant Fox’s expressions slightly shifted, immediately bowing and calling out.

Gu Yuan also offered a respectful salute.

The red-haired youth slightly lowered his head in respect.

”Fellow Daoist Yinghuai, Fellow Daoist Canxuan!”

Master Mingde nodded slightly to the two creatures, then turned his gaze to the red-haired youth, eyes sharp as lightning, inquiring: ”Is this the combatant chosen by Fellow Daoist Yinghuai? In which Spirit Peak does he cultivate?”

”Allow me to inform Fellow Daoist Mingde, this person is a Loose Cultivator from Que Mountain, skilled in remarkable methods, hence chosen by me as an aid in magical combat!”

”When purchasing the Dharma Assembly Jade Token back then, your esteemed sect did not stipulate the identity of the combatant, I trust there won’t be a reversal now?”

The elder with the star crown chuckled and produced a Jade Order engraved with the characters ”Celestial Abyss” and ”Yunji”, presenting it to Master Mingde.

Upon hearing this, Master Mingde cast a deep glance at the red-haired youth before speaking: ”For the Celestial Abyss Dharma Assembly, stop at the appropriate point. Should anyone concede or be unable to continue, you must cease immediately, inflicting no harm. Should there be a violation, do not blame our Yunji Sect for taking action to suppress it!”

The red-haired youth nodded slightly, seemingly in agreement.

”Hahaha, rest assured, Fellow Daoist Mingde, the Celestial Abyss Dharma Assembly is meant for a myriad of techniques and skills to compete. If it were only Profound Sect methods, wouldn’t it be monotonous, hehe!”
