I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

This scene is incredibly magnificent. Amidst the clouds and mist, atop the solitary peak, a thunderous waterfall suddenly pours down. The sound of the waterfall is already deafening, and now, with countless thunderbolts exploding, it shakes the heavens and earth, as if the tremendous roar might shatter the celestial vault.

”Bang!”

The thunderous waterfall churns, countless lightning bolts collide within it like flowing water, and the fine, fragmented lightning scatters like mist, enveloping the entire world in a captivating hue.

This is the formidable aspect of the Myriad Phenomena Secret Realm.

Depending on the attributes of the cultivator’s cultivation technique, it can condense completely different celestial phenomena.

If it were Fire Attribute True Scripture, the waterfall would transform into a cascade of fire, pouring down like Celestial Fire.

If it were Metal True Scripture, the waterfall would become metallic water, exceptionally sharp.

Myriad phenomena transform into water, with countless anomalies.

Every cultivator can find the most suitable celestial phenomenon for cultivation here.

”Hoo!!”

At this moment, all the Spiritual Qi transforms into thunder, which is like adding wings to a tiger for Gu Yuan. With each inhale and exhale, the thunderlight surges towards him, and the entire waterfall stands inverted, pouring into his body.

In the face of the vast power of heaven and earth, Gu Yuan’s originally grand stature becomes as tiny as an ant.

Yet within this seemingly fragile body, there seems to lie an abyssal sea, no matter how much thunder surges in, all is absorbed entirely.

This is the purest and cleanest power of heaven and earth. Gu Yuan’s mana rapidly increases with even the slightest cultivation, a process that would typically take about two years or require the consumption of a Tier Three Treasure Pill. Yet now, the final two strands of Gold-Attribute Magical Power begin to condense at an astonishing speed.

Moreover, the thunderous waterfall, pouring into his body inversely, re-purifies his mana, perfectly without omission.

The foundation of the ten-thousand-year Grand Sect is indeed extraordinary.

Gu Yuan sighed inwardly, then cast aside all distractions, fully immersing himself in cultivation.

...

...

The thunderous waterfall turns inverted and formidable, blocking out the sun and sky, seemingly never-ending.

But on this day, amidst the vast waterfall, a brilliant gaze suddenly pierced through, shooting straight through layers of thunderous water, directly into the sky.

Accompanying the gaze was a calm and steady voice, ”It’s time!”

”Boom!!!”

With these words, an overwhelming amount of mana, seemingly even more formidable than the unending thunderous waterfall, surged forth, pointing towards the celestial vault.

At this time, outside the Myriad Phenomena Secret Realm, a figure meditating with closed eyes suddenly opened them.

With a wave of his hand, a shimmering water mirror appeared, revealing the scene within the Myriad Phenomena Secret Realm.

This person, as it turns out, was Sunx Fashan, who was ordered by Master Ziyang to observe Gu Yuan’s breakthrough.

”What is this...”

Sunx Fashan merely glanced and was already showing a shocked expression.

Somehow, within the Myriad Phenomena Secret Realm, two celestial waterfalls had appeared!

One thunderous waterfall cascaded down from Wanxiang Mountain and, instead of plunging into the ground, was drawn up by a massive suction force, suspended in reverse, and entered an otherwise unremarkable figure.

This figure may seem ordinary, but behind him stretches a ”waterfall” nearly a thousand feet high, reaching towards the sky.

Mana Celestial Waterfall!

This signifies mana of profound depth, surging forth.

Every cultivator who breaks through the late stage of the Golden Core will experience this anomaly.

Yet, for ordinary Golden Core cultivators, a mana celestial waterfall spans only two or three hundred feet. In the profound mysteries of Yunji Sect’s True Scripture, even at breakthrough, it only reaches six to seven hundred feet.

Yet the person before him has a mana celestial waterfall reaching a thousand feet, equating almost to the Great Cultivators of the late stage Golden Core, an extraordinary foundation indeed.

For a moment, Sunx Fashan felt his heart and spirit overwhelmed, unable to continue watching.

”Boom!”

Just then, a deafening roar erupted from the secret realm.

Sunx Fashan looked up, seeing the thousand-foot-high mana celestial waterfall suddenly filled with countless fine fragments of lightning.

The lightning, fine like foam, might go unnoticed unless closely observed. Yet in an instant, the fragmented lightning surged up like a prairie fire, covering the entire mana celestial waterfall in the blink of an eye.

Anomaly transforms into technique, setting the celestial waterfall ablaze.

Sunx Fashan knew this was the crucial step in breaking through to the late stage of the Golden Core.

Cultivators need to convert all their pure mana into ”True Scripture Essence Technique” required by the True Scripture, whether that be thunder attribute mana transforming into myriad thunder or fire attribute mana into a sea of flames.

Then, with this ”True Scripture Essence Technique,” the cultivator comprehends heaven and earth, condensing anomalies.

In truth, it’s somewhat like carving ordinary ice sculptures.

The Mana within a cultivator’s body is originally like water, ever-changing and versatile, but when breaking through the Late Stage Golden Core, it is necessary to freeze the water into ice, and then carve upon this ice. If one can carve exquisite and profound shapes, it means the anomaly has successfully congealed.

However, if the carving fails, a large amount of ice will inevitably be lost in the process, and this part is permanently lost, irrevocable.

Therefore, breaking through the Late Stage Golden Core carries significant risk.

If the breakthrough is successful, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi infuses, anomalies congeal, and one’s strength naturally increases substantially.

If the breakthrough fails, Mana will irreversibly decrease significantly, and one’s strength will be greatly impaired.

And how much Gold-Attribute Magical Power is required for the Late Stage Golden Core? For an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator, gathering two thousand strands is already extremely difficult, how could there be another chance?

Many celestial prides, Golden Core cultivators who traverse the Great Domain, are stuck at this step.

At this moment, Gu Yuan, with all his Mana, gathers Celestial Waterfall and transforms it into endless thunder, already at the point of no return.

”It’s just the Late Stage Golden Core, how could it stop me?!”

Right when Sunx Fashan looks on with a grave expression, observing intently, amidst the vast thunderlight, a light laugh suddenly rings out.

Then, within the Celestial Waterfall, countless thunders surge and roll incessantly, followed by the quiet emergence of an exotic beast with a single horn on its head, four wings, a Celestial Horse.

”Thunder Warhorse?”

Sunx Fashan, seeing the sight, is stunned, unable to hold back a cry.

Not because the anomaly is too terrifying, but because it is too mediocre.

The anomalies of the Late Stage Golden Core, ought to include exotic beasts, mountains, and stars, these anomalies are the true intent of Techniques, condensed by the Dao Charm of Heaven and Earth, manifested as the embodiment of one’s Dao Practice.

To condense a Flood Dragon doesn’t mean the cultivator only has the power of a Flood Dragon, but rather they command wind, thunder, water, and electricity as if they were born to it.

Their strength can completely surpass the exotic beasts manifested within the anomaly.

But comparatively, when anomalies are condensed by Hundred Beasts’ exotic species, naturally the stronger the exotic beast species, the higher the potential of the anomaly.

Sunx Fashan estimates, with the person’s strength from the Secret Realm, if using an exotic beast as an anomaly, at the very least should condense a Thunder Flood Dragon or Kui Beast, such Heaven-Earth exotic species.

How could it be this plain and mediocre Thunder Warhorse?

But anomalies don’t lie.

”Could it be that this person is just strong in Magical Combat, but their understanding of the true intent of Techniques is only acceptable?”

”Or is this formidable means achieved at the cost of sacrificing potential?”

For a moment, Sunx Fashan’s mind is awash with thoughts, thinking of many things.

”Boom!”

But at this moment, within the Secret Realm, the thunder again rolls incessantly, slowly congealing beside the Thunder Warhorse into a Six-Winged Golden Claw, a wondrous giant eagle.

Six-Winged Purple Gold Carving!

Sunx Fashan is instantly astonished, how could another anomaly congeal again?

”Boom!”

And just then, the thunderlight rolls once more, a Flood Dragon with distinct scale armor, thunder whiskers flying, swims in the Celestial Waterfall behind Gu Yuan.

”Rumble!”

The thunderlight rises again, a blue giant bull with a single hoof and no horns, like a mountain, emerges behind Gu Yuan.

And this was not the end, as thundering light rolls through, a thousand-foot-tall Thunder Giant, with an indifferent expression, appears.

”This is...”

Sunx Fashan is left stupefied, at a loss for words.

And the evolution of anomalies continues.

Green lotus leaves, bathed in boundless thunderlight, sway out; thousand-foot Thunder Mountain stands towering, emerging with a boom, the Great Sun suspended, stars twinkling... Bright Moon, Thunder Wind, Yin-Yang, Mountains and Rivers, all manner of phenomena, unexpectedly all manifest behind Gu Yuan.

”Bang!”

And at the final instant, all anomalies explode, leaving only a blurry Thunder Mist, floating behind Gu Yuan.

Only between the surging Thunder Mist, seem to be myriad phenomena, but upon a closer look, they appear to vanish again.

Only the Thunder Mist, like clouds, drifts ethereally without pause.

Yet Dao Charm is naturally born, shining like day in night, the bright Spiritual Light rises like the Great Sun, even without any anomaly congealing, it has the feel of an abyss or sea.

Great Thunder Origin Celestial Scripture, elevates to Grand Thunder Origin Jade Pivot Myriad Phenomena Celestial Scripture, the anomaly then being... Thunder Element Myriad Manifestations.

This anomaly is not a chaotic hodgepodge, but the Ten Thousand Thunder Technique, the true primordial of the Thunder Dao, the path of Gu Yuan’s cultivation, a brand new starting point.

One thunder transforming into a myriad, moving with the heart’s desire.

In the Myriad Phenomena Secret Realm, obtaining this anomaly, it must be said, truly feels somewhat predestined.
