I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Above the floating clouds, the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape, having waited a long time without seeing anyone come from the Dharma Boat, a fierce intent appeared in its eyes, and it tightly gripped the weapon in its hand, ready to share the corpses.

But just at that moment, a figure like a stream of light swiftly arrived and landed in front of it.

"At least you have some courage!"

The Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape laughed aloud, put away its weapon, and looked at the newcomer.

The newcomer was dressed in a blue robe, with a jade hairpin tying his hair, his sleeves draping, tall in stature, his eyes calm, showing none of the anger of the previous few people, his expression was very indifferent.

"Who are you? State your name, so as not to die as obscurely as this person!"

The Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape snorted coldly, pointing to Ji Fenghua’s corpse as it shouted.

"The person who will kill you!"

Gu Yuan merely spoke indifferently.

"Arrogant words!"

The Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape’s expression turned angry, yet seeing Gu Yuan’s calm demeanor, it couldn’t help but feel a bit of suspicion. Without further ado, it suddenly closed its eyes, secretly operating its Divine Power, then abruptly opened them again.

"Boom!"

In an instant, golden fire dazzled, the Great Sun rang out, an incomparable consciousness carried dazzling brilliance, like golden lightning, piercing through the void, striking toward Gu Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness.

The Fire Eye Technique, the cornerstone of the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape’s dominance over the Great River.

This strike, as quick as light and electricity, not only had the scorching heat of golden fire to burn the physical eyes, but also an invisible sharpness capable of tearing apart a cultivator’s Sea of Consciousness.

But Gu Yuan, at the same time the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape closed its eyes, also abruptly shut his eyes, then quickly opened them again in the same manner.

"Boom!"

Golden firelight rose in Gu Yuan’s eyes, his eyes turned a dazzling golden hue, appearing as if cast in golden bronze, with bright brilliance, able to ward off the golden fire.

"Fire Eye Technique?"

"No, Fire Eye Pill?!"

"You’ve taken the Fire Eye Pill!"

The Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape’s expression changed.

The only thing in the world that could naturally counter the Fire Eye Technique was the Fire Eye Pill.

There were numerous mysterious techniques in the world capable of contending with the Fire Eye Technique, but when it came to natural counteraction, only the Fire Eye Pill refined from the eyes of the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape could do so.

But in just a moment, the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape’s expression returned to normal.

"It’s nothing more than a low-grade Fire Eye Pill from the Qi Refining Stage..."

The golden light in Gu Yuan’s eyes, though pure, was of a very low position, unable to challenge its Fire Eye Technique, at best sustaining the integrity of his eyeballs, yet his Sea of Consciousness was still unable to withstand the sharpness of the golden fire.

But just then, within Gu Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness, a three-eyed Flood Dragon with flashing thunderbolt eyes suddenly opened its eyes.

"Roar! Boom!"

The Flood Dragon opened its eyes, like thunder, like a roar, its massive body leapt up, carrying an indescribable terrifying might, emerging from Gu Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness.

"Boom!"

Invisible thunder erupted in the void, and the scale-clad, armor-borne Flood Dragon roared up, directly blasting the incoming golden fire to smithereens.

The dazzling golden light burst like a forest of iron flowers in the sky, a magnificent spectacle.

Yet the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape’s face suddenly changed, a strong unease rising in its heart.

"Zheng!"

A golden shadow like a bamboo, or a sword shadow, simultaneously emerged from Gu Yuan’s body with the Three-Eyed Thunder Flood Dragon, slashing toward the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape’s forehead with indescribable speed.

"Clang!"

The golden giant cudgel in the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape’s hand suddenly emerged, it let out an angry shout, its Qi Power unmatched, directly confronting the sword light in front of it.

"Zing!"

But just at the moment the sword light struck, that light shadow resembling both bamboo and sword quivered suddenly and differentiated into another sword light.

That sword light split, circled once, then split into yet another sword light.

One became two, two became three, three became sixteen.

Within a single thought, sixteen dazzling sword lights combined, slashing toward the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape!

Panic immediately appeared in the eyes of the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape, it swung its giant cudgel tightly to block them.

But the sword lights gleamed brightly and splendidly, not only showing the sharpness of a Spirit Sword but also the profundity of a Sword Technique, piercing through the blockage of the giant cudgel in an instant, carving bleeding wounds all over its body.

Sword Qi penetrated the bones, making it drenched in blood, terribly miserable.

"Break!"

In panic, the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape dared not hesitate, it immediately bit through its tongue, seemingly to activate a Secret Technique to break through.

But just then, within the sixteen sword lights, another sword shadow split and flickered out.

"No!"

The Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape’s eyes were about to burst, but this final sword light was clearly the last straw to break the camel’s back, the sword light was as clear as a mirror, arriving in an instant, utilizing the cover of the sixteen Sword Qi, a sudden opportunity emerged, piercing the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape’s forehead.

"Bang!"

The Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape died instantly, its corpse losing its defense, falling through the clouds.

"Swish!"

At this moment, a jade-colored bright light suddenly surged from Gu Yuan’s palm, wrapping around its corpse’s essence, swirling it back, then disappearing without a trace. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Roar!"

Within the Earth Evil Water Heaven Array, angry roars rolled up as if an old demon was howling, countless Demon Qi turned into giant hands seemingly trying to seize Gu Yuan.

But on the Flying Smoke Dharma Boat, golden light blazed, piercing through the giant hands in an instant, returning peace above the floating clouds.

"Offended!"

Gu Yuan did not pay attention to the rolling Demon Qi, he only sighed at Ji Fenghua’s corpse, bowed, then with a sweep of his sleeve, a green radiance fell from the Cyan Ginseng Dao Foundation, repairing the corpse, then he picked it up and turned back to the Dharma Boat.

...

...

"Senior Brother Yinn, mission accomplished!"

Gu Yuan returned with the corpse, giving a slight bow to Yinn Xingchao.

"Good, good, good, this indeed reflects the demeanor of a prodigy from our Daoist School, with a year’s time, seventeen transformed sword lights, this comprehension, no wonder it could win the Ascendant’s favor."

"The top of Flowing Cloud Banquet, well deserved!"

The Magical Combat ended extremely swiftly, in just a few breaths time a victor was decided, neither party even used their formidable Spiritual Artifacts, but the brilliance of the Techniques crossed each other magnificently, earning people’s attention.

Yinn Xingchao couldn’t help but praise.

Transforming sword lights is a secret technique in the Sword Dao, requiring extremely high Sword Dao Comprehension, but its benefits are immense. The more sword lights transformed, the stronger the power of the Sword Technique.

Ordinarily, transforming ten sword lights already makes one outstanding, allowing control over peers, fifteen sword lights is extremely formidable, and if the Enemy Cultivator has no Mysterious Spiritual Artifact, it can instantly slay peers.

Seventeen sword lights, incredibly sharp, even the naturally Exotic Species, the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape, couldn’t withstand for a moment, demonstrating clearly.

Solely with this Sword Technique, Gu Yuan could match the result of decades of cultivation by multiple Early Stage of Foundation Establishment cultivators on the boat.

This is the difference between those with excellent comprehension and those of mediocre talent.

Most importantly, while others couldn’t tell, he recognized it. The technique Gu Yuan used was the Boundless Sword Seal!

The secret technique of Jade Pot Peak’s lineage!

This individual, with significant ties to the Golden Core Ascendant, might already be a disciple of the Golden Core?

"Hahaha, Junior Brother Su’s foresight! I was indeed mistaken; a genius like Senior Brother Gu is beyond the comparison of ordinary folks like us!"

"One year indeed equals several decades of our hard cultivation, Junior Brother Su, truly remarkable, truly remarkable!"

Amidst the crowd, Ma Wu immediately stood up, bowing repeatedly to Su Huazheng, loudly praising, complimenting his perception.

"Senior Brother Su, with your keen perception, showing such admiration for Senior Brother Gu, surely you won’t go back on your word now that Senior Brother Gu has returned with Senior Brother Ji’s corpse!"

Fu Hongling also covered her mouth with a light laugh, her gaze falling on Su Huazheng.

Su Huazheng’s face instantly turned pale, appearing incredulous.

He subconsciously lowered his head, looking at Su Jingming.

But Su Jingming seemed to have his eyes hurting again, covering them and groaning, as if completely unaware.

For a moment, everyone’s gaze fell on Su Huazheng.
