I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

"It’s you, you orchestrated everything!"

"You went through great pains with the Soul Lamp as bait, just to lure me into the Jade Altar?"

Cen Qingqing’s delicate body trembled, seemingly in disbelief.

"The Extreme Yin Island hasn’t been entered for hundreds of years. Are you expecting me to wait in vain until my lifespan runs out, waiting for a destined person to enter the Jade Altar?"

"What if only one Foundation Establishment Cultivator comes every hundred years, what should I do?"

"What if a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator comes, would it be me or him who dies?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Inside this Jade Altar, there is a natural space, thin Spiritual Qi, and suppression of the Void, even Storage Bags cannot be opened, and my cultivation cannot advance. How long do you want me to sit here waiting?"

"These past two months, I’ve meditated daily, but I feel uneasy and cannot enter a meditative state, how can I wait in vain?!"

The black-faced man had a fierce expression, his gaze filled with extreme resentment.

With no hope of escape and unable to meditate peacefully, the black-faced man showed signs of demon possession, prompting him to set this trap and turn against a close friend ruthlessly.

Gu Yuan coldly observed everything, his heart clear.

Though he didn’t know what the Heart-devouring Spirit-Stealing Worm was, seeing Cen Qingqing’s trembling body, he knew it was definitely not a benevolent entity.

The middle-aged Daoist was not dead, but his prospects were grim.

"Once the killing intent arises, the world suddenly feels vast!"

"You have no idea how smoothly my meditation has been daily after using the Heart-devouring Spirit-Stealing Worm on Brother Cen!"

"This should have been done long ago. You father and daughter are just remnants of the Thundercloud Sect, lucky to be alive, and got a small part of the Sect’s inheritance. Killing you both means it’s all mine!"

"It’s not just the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, but even the Golden Core Realm might not be out of reach!"

The black-faced man spoke more excitedly, finally standing up, looking coldly at Gu Yuan and Cen Qingqing.

"I originally only wanted to kill you two, but didn’t expect you to bring a helper, but it doesn’t matter, all must die!"

The black-faced man laughed wildly.

"Dan Shanhe, you dare act so recklessly knowing I have the Thundercloud Sect’s inheritance, I will definitely kill you!"

Cen Qingqing could no longer endure, the Thunder Dragon Seal soared from her palm, and a purple Token swiftly flew out, bathed in vast lightning, attacking the black-faced man.

"Hahahaha, Cen Qingqing, your opponent is not me, but him!"

Seeing this, the black-faced man couldn’t help but laugh, everything seeming to be within his expectations.

"Let the thunder come!"

At that moment, the middle-aged Daoist’s face also showed a cold smile. With a wave of his hand, a Thunder Dragon Seal even more brilliant and dazzling than Cen Qingqing’s flew out.

Inside the Jade Altar, dark clouds rolled instantly, thick lightning condensed into a huge Thunder Flood Dragon about a zhang long, engaging in battle with Cen Qingqing’s Thunder Flood Dragon.

"Go"

Furthermore, the middle-aged Daoist slapped his waist, and a nearly identical purple Token swiftly flew out, transforming into hundreds of lightning serpents, attacking Cen Qingqing’s purple Token.

The two came from the same lineage, bound by blood, using similar techniques, yet at this moment, they fought against each other as if they were enemies.

"Father!"

Cen Qingqing’s voice was anxious, shouting sweetly, while a jade-colored little drum on her waist radiated brilliance, sending out strange sound waves, seemingly trying to restore the middle-aged Daoist’s consciousness.

Yet the middle-aged Daoist just sneered, an emerald green insect shadow seemed to appear in his pupils.

"Boom!"

Their battle was imposing, the Thunder Technique thundered, dazzling to the extreme.

The middle-aged Daoist’s expression was somewhat dull, his Dharma Seal circulating somewhat clumsily, but his mana was deeper than Cen Qingqing’s, and he fought fiercely, even at times using his own body to withstand Cen Qingqing’s attacks.

Cen Qingqing was constrained, and for a moment, they were locked in a stalemate.

"Hahahaha, Qingqing, whether you surpass me or not, depends on your skills, but first, I’ll help you deal with your little lover!"

Seeing the father and daughter in conflict, the black-faced man seemed somewhat excited, unable to suppress his laughter, then turned his gaze towards Gu Yuan.

"Boy, unlucky for you to be on the Cen family’s sinking ship, blame them when you die!"

As he spoke, he clenched his five fingers, a black, eagle-claw-like strange Dharma Seal shot out, transforming into a massive sharp claw phantom, grabbing for Gu Yuan’s head.

This strike was incredibly swift and sharp, in a trance, Gu Yuan felt as if an Eagle Demon of the Earth Demon Realm had descended upon him, trying to crush his head.

"Zheng!"

But Gu Yuan merely pointed his finger, and eighteen dazzling sword lights soared into the air, like eighteen swimming dragons, slicing through the black Dharma Seal in a moment.

"Screech!"

The sword light was sharp, cutting through anything, directly slicing the black Dharma Seal in two, then swiftly heading towards the black-faced man’s face.

"To think it’s a sword cultivator who can split into eighteen sword lights, Qingqing’s niece indeed has a good eye!"

"What a pity..."

Seeing the fierce and brilliant sword light, dividing into eighteen in one breath, the black-faced man was also astonished, but in a flash, he smiled again.

"Boom!"

Thick mana surged up, like a black flame pillar rising behind the man, his aura suddenly escalated significantly, his eyes shining brightly.

Mid-stage Foundation Establishment!

This black-faced man was actually of mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, hiding until now, even Gu Yuan hadn’t noticed.

"Clang!"

No longer concealing his realm, the black-faced man raised his hand, a black shield shadow Dharma Seal abruptly rose, like a black curtain, blocking the sword light.

"Screech!"

The sword light was sharp, layer upon layer, constantly cutting through the light screen, but the black-faced man just stimulated his mana, the shield shadow re-condensed, restored to its original form.

Foundation Establishment’s early, mid, and late stages, though of the same general position, their mana was vastly different.

Gu Yuan practiced Three Qi Refining, his mana could dominate the same realm, yet he still found it hard to suppress the black-faced man.

And the black-faced man’s Black Shield Seal, while unable to resist the sword light’s sharpness, could forcibly hold the sword light with his thick mana.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan’s heart sank, his mind moved, wanting to retract the Sword Seal.

"Hold it!"

But at this moment, the black-faced man shouted angrily, a black spirit body appeared behind him, then his mana surged out, transforming directly into a pair of black giant hands, grabbing at Gu Yuan’s Sword Seal.

These giant hands were condensed directly from mana but within them, the Qi Power was unending, seemingly cast from refined iron, vaguely with the Mountain-moving power, directly crushing the eighteen sword lights, gripping the Sword Seal forged by the Golden Bamboo Sword tightly in the palms.

The Sword Seal struggled continuously, yet it seemed unable to withstand this tremendous force.

"Hahaha, boy, I see your mana is deep and your aura is light, you should also be an Inheritor Disciple of a Major Sect?"

"But I, Dan Shanhe, also have a profound mystery technique!"

"My ’Mountain-moving Spirit Seal’ can amplify mana by tenfold, even single-handedly lifting a mountain, no matter how sharp your Sword Qi is, how can it withstand my spirit seal?!"

This was somewhat exaggerated, as Mountain-moving power is far more than millions of pounds.

But under this seal, there was overwhelming Qi Power, suppressing others, combined with the black-faced man’s slightly higher realm, in one move, he suppressed Gu Yuan’s most lethal technique.
