I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Gu Yuan had always been contemplating how to stand out from the numerous Golden Core Families with his solo cultivation of the Planting Heaven and Earth Evergreen Map and compete for the True Inheritance.

The Planting Heaven and Earth Evergreen Map is one of the Daoist School’s secret True Maps, which can directly point to the Golden Core, and is not considered inferior.

However, in terms of profound mysteries, it ultimately cannot compare to the other True Maps that only the Seven Major Branches and Golden Core Families can cultivate.

Once Foundation Establishment is achieved, there is naturally some gap.

The ascension path is ultimately in the hands of these elites. Although there are paths for the humble lineages, they are always somewhat weaker, unless one has an exceptionally excellent root bone to be admitted under a Golden Core.

But now, with this Three Dharma Celestial Human True Diagram, Gu Yuan felt that he could rise.

"In the Celestial Human Three Techniques, besides the unchanged Planting Heaven and Earth Evergreen Map that I personally cultivate, there is also the addition of the ’Sea of Desolation Map’ and ’Great Sun Golden Dragon Sword Map’. These three True Maps combined into one have become an entirely new technique, cultivating three Qi simultaneously, establishing the foundation three times, obtaining three types of Dao Foundations, enough to make up for the flaws of any True Map!"

Feeling the surging and strange mana within him, the smile on Gu Yuan’s face did not fade for a long time.

People in Foundation Establishment only need to refine one Qi and can only obtain one Dao Foundation.

Even though the Cyan Peak Daoist School is profound, no one can forge two Dao Foundations with one True Map.

The Daoist School has countless mysterious techniques, allowing one to cultivate various secret techniques and methods, with countless methods, but once the Dao Foundation is determined, it cannot be changed.

Each Dao Foundation represents a divine power, one of the assets of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

But with the Three Dharma Celestial Human True Diagram, besides refining the ’Cyan Wood Profound Spirit Qi’ to forge the ’Cyan Ginseng Dao Foundation’, Gu Yuan can also refine the ’Vitality of the Azure Sea’ to forge the ’Vast Ocean Dao Foundation’.

The Vast Ocean Dao Foundation is naturally capable of water control. Not only that, but it can also condense Profound Nether Heavy Water, with each drop having the power of ten thousand pounds, unstoppable when released. If hundreds or thousands of drops are released simultaneously, they could reverse waterfalls and change the course of rivers. However, condensing this water is extremely difficult.

Besides, he can refine the ’Great Sun Golden Yi Qi’. After refining this Qi, he can forge the ’Golden Rainbow Sword Foundation’. This Dao Foundation can condense the Great Sun Golden Rainbow, making cultivating the Sword Seal as easy as fish in water. The sword light is as dazzling as the great sun, swift as a rainbow.

Three types of Dao Foundations!

It encompasses cultivation and combat abilities, truly a wondrous technique and divine map!

With this technique mastered, taking on three at once would not be impossible.

If you want to stand out among the noble family elites, you must have such a wondrous technique!

"Fortunately, I acquired the Three-Heart Gold Seal before, greatly enhancing my comprehension. Otherwise, I might not have been able to comprehend this Three Dharma Celestial Human True Diagram, and this method of impartation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..."

Looking at the empty space in front of him, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but sigh.

The method cannot be lightly imparted. This is the final inheritance from the owner of the Silver Beast Hide Book. If it cannot be comprehended, this method would truly be lost.

But fortunately, he eventually seized this opportunity.

"With this method, a hidden danger is finally removed, and there is hope to dominate the Foundation Establishment. However, the difficulty of cultivating this method is indeed quite high..."

Feeling the heavy and continuous mana within him, Gu Yuan’s mouth revealed a bitter smile.

Three types of Dao Foundations, the mana tripled, and with it came a threefold increase in the difficulty of cultivation.

Whether it is daily mana accumulation or realm-breaking, the difficulty is three times greater than that of ordinary cultivators, and the resources required are simply innumerable.

This is the price that must be paid to surpass ordinary people.

"Other resources can be slowly sought in the future. The most important urgent matter is establishing the foundation..."

"To break through to Foundation Establishment, I must find the wood, water, and gold three Qi, refine them together, and only then can I break the bottleneck and successfully establish the foundation."

"These three Qi must be refined simultaneously, indispensable, quite challenging."

Gu Yuan secretly calculated in his heart.

Three completely distinct Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi aren’t easy to find.

But at the moment, there seems to be a perfect opportunity.

"Flowing Cloud Banquet..."

"Now it seems, this banquet ought to be my opportunity."

According to Bian Chuyao, for this Flowing Cloud Banquet to nurture new Foundation Establishment talent, twenty Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi will be released for everyone to compete for.

But to Gu Yuan...

"Talent pool? I don’t need a talent pool!"

"I am my own talent pool!"

Gu Yuan smiled in his heart and made a silent decision.

However, this matter still needs some time, and it’s best to make two preparations during this period.

He slightly breathed in, then bathed and cleansed, washing away the fatigue of the past few days, then dressed neatly, mounted the Flying Shuttle, and flew towards the Moon Bamboo Market.

...

...

"The customer wants to find the wood-Earth-type Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for Foundation Establishment?"

Moon Bamboo Market, the shopkeeper of the South Mountain Pavilion furrowed his brow as he listened to Gu Yuan’s request.

"Such Spiritual Qi can only be gathered by cultivators above the Qi Refining Ninth Layer who have comprehended the Foundation Establishment Method. Generally speaking, cultivators who can collect such Spiritual Qi will keep it for their own refinement to enter the Foundation Establishment Realm as soon as possible, and it rarely circulates outside..."

"Not to mention our South Mountain Pavilion, but even in the entire Moon Bamboo Market, it would not be sold once in several years."

"It is the most critical item for Foundation Establishment realm-breaking, having a price but no market!"

The shopkeeper of the South Mountain Pavilion slightly shook his head and said helplessly.

Hearing this, Gu Yuan could only regretfully sigh.

Spirit Stones are valuable, but some cultivation resources cannot be purchased, no matter how much money you have.

"However, our South Mountain Pavilion has several maps, which record a few secret places with extremely abundant Yi Wood Spiritual Qi. In these secret places, Spiritual Qi will be generated, and customers can gather it themselves. As long as there is no external interference, it could be collected in about half a year."

The shopkeeper suddenly squinted and smiled, taking out a Jade Scroll.

"Customer, for just four hundred Spirit Stones, you can get three secret place maps, would you consider it?"

This secret place has probably been developed by numerous people already, and gathering enough Spiritual Qi from it would be as hard as ascending to heaven.

Gu Yuan shook his head, and at the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of the preciousness of Spiritual Qi.

"Is there any Earth Demon Spirit Object?"

Gu Yuan asked again.

He had promised the Golden-backed Ape tribe to find Earth Demon Spirit Objects for them. Several years had passed, and it had been unsuccessful. Previously, he wasn’t strong enough, so he didn’t insist. Now that his strength had greatly increased, there was no need to delay any longer.

"Earth Demon Spirit Object?"

The shopkeeper of the South Mountain Pavilion pondered slightly, and eventually took out a Jade Scroll.

"Not long ago, a Celestial Blood Fruit emerged in the territory of a place called ’Frost Instrument Island’. This item can help high-grade demon beasts break through to the Earth Demon Realm, but several cultivators at the peak of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer have already set their sights on it, currently in a standoff."

"Counting the time, in about half a day, this fruit will mature. If the customer feels confident in their strength, you could go and compete for it, or observe their magical combat, and see if you can purchase it at the end."

Gu Yuan took the Jade Scroll, paid one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones, then mounted the Jade Shuttle, flying towards Frost Instrument Island.

A day later, Gu Yuan entered Spiritual Crane Island with two bulging Storage Bags and a blood-colored jade box.

In the period that followed, Gu Yuan kept going back and forth to Moon Bamboo Market, buying information in the hope of finding a suitable secret place to trace the clues of Spiritual Qi, but with little success.

As time passed, the news of the Flowing Cloud Banquet being held again was officially announced in the Daoist School.

In the Daoist School, all the cultivators at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer were moved.

Many cultivators who were struggling to seek Spiritual Qi outside also returned to the Daoist School one after another.

For a time, the escape light flickered with a sense of upheaval.

And at this time, in front of Qianyuan Cave.

A girl with skin like snow, exceedingly beautiful, her mouth always with a gentle smile, carrying a long gift list, knocked on the door of the Cave Mansion.

"Senior Brother Gu, the Flowing Cloud Banquet is about to start, why not go together?"
