I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

"Madam?"

"My lord?"

The soft, tingling voice was incredibly tempting, almost irresistibly so, but Gu Yuan became increasingly calm, his heart filled with vigilance, as mana stirred quietly within his Dantian, with brilliant Dharma Seals seemingly ready to spring forth at any moment.

Yet at this moment, Gu Yuan noticed something strange on his wrist. Looking down, he found a silver ring wrapped around it, with illuminating Array Patterns, and a strange force, like a massive lock, surged into his Dantian, restraining a green Dao Foundation.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan immediately withdrew his mana, no longer arousing the Dharma Seal. The momentum that had just risen fell abruptly, as if he were a mere mortal.

"My lord, fear not, it’s just a Ring of the Dao. As long as you agree to dual cultivation with me, I’ll unlock it for you immediately. Then you and I can become Immortal Lovers, wouldn’t that be wonderful?"

Seeing Gu Yuan’s change of expression, the beautiful woman hurriedly reassured him, speaking softly.

"Dual cultivation? Isn’t it just to drain my yang energy to supplement yin?"

Gu Yuan sighed inwardly, but did not speak out.

Although his Divine Sense was impaired, his foundation remained. The Three-Eyed Thunder Flood Dragon possessed the ability to see through illusions, and with the Heaven-Revealing Spirit Eye, just a glance was enough for him to discern the woman’s general background.

Though her aura was profound, she was nearing the Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, there was always a hint of frivolity, her cheeks flushed, eyes brimming with charm, addressing people as "my lord," it was obvious what cultivation technique she practiced.

Yet Gu Yuan didn’t immediately turn hostile, instead he asked, "Where is this place?"

"My lord, fear not, this is Ten Thousand Islands Sea in the Western Sea Realm, surrounded by thunderstorms. No matter what enemies you have, once you enter this place, there’s no need to worry."

"If you’re willing to dual cultivate with me, this Suyin Island will be your cultivation ground. The island has a top Tier Two Spirit Meridian, sufficient for us to steadily cultivate to the Late-stage Foundation Establishment."

The beautiful woman covered her mouth with a laugh, actively explaining to Gu Yuan while not forgetting to invite him to dual cultivation. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

A pair of beautiful eyes stared unblinkingly at Gu Yuan’s handsome face, seemingly filled with emotion.

"Western Sea Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan was shocked, unable to prevent a sigh.

But at that moment, a loud booming sound suddenly came from outside, followed by raucous laughter.

"Boom!"

"Ladies, Mr. Huang is here again, hurry and receive me, hahaha!"

Gales blew, golden light shone, a massive shadow covered the sky, engulfing the entire island.

"Damn it, it’s back again!"

"Really a toad longing for swan meat!"

Seeing this, the beautiful woman’s expression changed, her face revealing an angry expression, she cursed under her breath, then turned to Gu Yuan with a gentle smile:

"Rest well, my lord, after I’ve dealt with that toad spirit, I’ll come back to enjoy with you!"

With that, her figure transformed into light, suddenly flying towards the island’s exterior, though as she left, she sealed the entire residence with Spiritual Light.

Meanwhile, on the island, several Foundation Establishment auras rose abruptly. Leading them was a Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment figure, her aura deep and Dharma Light dazzling.

The atmosphere on the island abruptly turned murderous, a sheet of ice.

...

...

Inside the residence, it remained peaceful.

Gu Yuan looked at the Ring of the Dao on his hand, his right hand waved lightly, a brilliant sword light appeared, directly severing it.

This Ring of the Dao was similar in function to the young man’s "Locking Dao Seal," though the "Locking Dao Seal" was more profound, forcibly locking a cultivator’s Dao Foundation, imprisoning their mana, whereas the "Ring of the Dao" could only be put on when a cultivator was unable to resist, serving as a tool to suppress them.

But to Gu Yuan, it was all futile.

The Three Dharma Celestial Human Diagram was extremely profound, refining Three Qi simultaneously, possessing three Dao Foundations. Unless all three Dao Foundations were simultaneously restrained, he remained a powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator.

But the Three Dharma Celestial Human Diagram is no ordinary material, unless a cultivator surpassing his realm carefully examined him, otherwise the True Map conceals itself, revealing nothing. Ordinary people wouldn’t discover his three Dao Foundations inside, only perceiving his exceptionally thick mana, not bothering to use three Rings of the Dao against him.

And a single Ring of the Dao, couldn’t handle Gu Yuan at all.

If not for not wanting to reveal too early, preparing to use this as a trump card, he would have severed the Ring of the Dao and slain the beautiful woman while in her embrace.

But now, with changes outside the island, Gu Yuan had no time for much else, deciding still to try to recover his strength to prevent any misfortunes.

"Fortunately, that demoness didn’t rob me of my Storage Bag..."

Touching the Storage Bag in his pocket, Gu Yuan’s heart filled with a touch of relief.

As long as his imprint was not lost, others couldn’t open his Storage Bag, though they could take it and hide it, it was still possible.

But whether the beautiful woman really intended for Gu Yuan to be her Ruyi husband or not, she hadn’t taken a single thing from him.

Such heart nature, Gu Yuan didn’t quite know how to evaluate it. If their situations were switched, he could guarantee that besides something to cover herself, the beautiful woman would have no other treasure for self-defense.

"Swish!"

As the Spiritual Light flickered, a green fruit, exuding a faint fragrance, appeared in Gu Yuan’s palm.

"I thought the fruit wouldn’t be of any use anytime soon, but I didn’t expect to use it so quickly, life’s truly unpredictable..."

Gu Yuan couldn’t help but sigh.

This fruit was the Jade Heart Fruit meticulously cultivated by the Old Turtle, but as it was not fully matured at the time, Gu Yuan didn’t pick it immediately. After returning to Celestial Wolf Island, he refined the Azure Roaming Heaven-Evading Seal while retrieving the fruit from Xiaolang Island.

The fruit had only one ability, to heal injuries and restore foundations.

Gu Yuan had no idea how he ended up in the distant Western Sea Realm, but at that time, amidst the shattered Void and countless chaotic currents, though he narrowly escaped death, his head suffered severe trauma, his Sea of Consciousness greatly damaged, diminishing his power considerably.

Fortunately, he still had this fruit in his possession.

"Gulp!"

Gu Yuan took a gentle bite, and the Jade Heart Fruit instantly became a flow of green liquid, rushing into his belly. Simultaneously, the fruit’s vigorous power surged up, beginning to repair all of Gu Yuan’s internal injuries, his Sea of Consciousness was also filled with a cooling sensation, immensely comforting.

After a while, Gu Yuan felt all the pain in his mind dissipate, the scarred Three-Eyed Thunder Flood Dragon shining silver once more, full of vigor.

With his Divine Sense restored, Gu Yuan immediately deployed the Three-Eyed Thunder Flood Dragon, probing the entire island.

The island was vast, filled with luxurious palaces, some emitting a lascivious atmosphere.

But a brief glance directed Gu Yuan’s attention to the battle above the island.

Eight figures fiercely fought back and forth, the air filled with Techniques, the mana roaring, the fight was quite intense.

On one side, all were women, their faces alluring, bodies graceful, exuding an inviting air.

The other side consisted of four Earth Demons, demon qi billowing, led by what seemed to be a Golden Toad, its aura at the Mid-Stage Earth Demon level, but it was being suppressed by the beautiful woman, also in Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, wielding an impressive Spiritual Artifact.

The other women also unleashed Spiritual Artifacts, their momentum soaring, forcing the demons back rapidly.

But suddenly, the Golden Toad sneered, shouting aloud, "Brother Bai, why not act quickly!"

"Swish!"

Before the Golden Toad’s words had barely fallen, a blue, smooth thing flew out suddenly, hanging in the sky.

"Swish!"

In quick succession, blue electric lights shot out from the smooth object, landing on the Spiritual Artifacts in the women’s hands.

The Spiritual Artifacts trembled slightly, seeming to lose their connection with their owners’ Heart and Spirit, drifting somewhat aimlessly in the air.

"Kill!"

But the Golden Toad and the demon allies were invigorated, pressing forward with rolling demon qi.

"Ah!"

Among the women, the youngest, donned in colorful clothes, her aura unsteady, barely reaching Foundation Establishment Realm; she previously relied on her Spiritual Artifact to contend with the Earth Demon. Now losing her Spiritual Artifact, caught off guard, she was pierced through the abdomen by clawed hands, screaming, she fell from the sky.

With one lost, and the adversary seemingly receiving strong reinforcements, suddenly the women found themselves in grave danger.

But Gu Yuan’s gaze was fixed upon the blue, smooth object.

Demon Pill!
