I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 321: Refining the Soul-Upgrading Fruit, the soul power of the peak of the Golden Core!
The sky and earth are bright.

The dark soul fog and soul-drifting wind that lingered on the Soul-Drifting Peak all year round were cut apart by a ray of light.

The light was so fast that it was almost indescribable.

It was like the falling sun, like the raging thunder, all the fierce and domineering yang power was condensed in this one light.

The sword light is so bright and terrifying!
"rise!"

The white-haired young man's face changed suddenly, but it was too late to think. He shouted angrily, his face was ferocious, his clothes tore open, revealing his strong skin.

On his skin, rays of precious light suddenly lit up, like a candle suddenly lit, shooting up into the sky with dazzling light. At this moment, the white-haired young man seemed to no longer be a person, but a golden tripod. The precious light in the tripod gathered and forged a skeleton of steel.

Not only that, there was also a ball of grey precious light shining in the palms of his hands, as if it could capture all the magic in the world, revealing a strange spiritual charm.

"boom!"

But when the sword light came, everything seemed to turn into thin paper.

The sword ball is almost a fourth-level spiritual treasure, and it carries with it almost all of Gu Yuan’s magic power. It can cut through anything, and that’s not an empty statement!

A big hole immediately appeared in the palm of the white-haired young man, and then the sword light continued to move forward, suddenly piercing through the white-haired young man's shoulder, like a golden beam of light, dragging him hundreds of feet away and nailing him to the cliff.

It sounds slow, but all this happened in a flash.

Gu Yuan shook out the sword ball, which moved like light, and the white-haired young man was nailed directly to the cliff as if he was struck by lightning.

The mountain wind floats, the soul mist gathers, and everything returns to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

Except for the motionless figure.

"I lost!"

After a slight silence, the low voice of a white-haired young man was heard from the cliff.

After the soul mist, he looked at the wounds on his shoulder and palm that were as smooth as mirrors, with shock still remaining in his eyes.

The proficiency of Gu Yuan's swordsmanship and the sharpness of his sword balls were beyond his expectations.

His Seven Treasures Dharma Body, which had already reached the third level of perfection, was pierced through before he could even take a single blow.

If the opponent had not held back, the sword would not have hit his shoulders and arms, but his eyebrows and head, and he would have been killed.

Although the Seven Treasures Dharmakaya is powerful, the head is still its weak point in the Golden Core Realm. Once the head is shattered, the person will die instantly. There is no chance of survival.

As for the sword light just now, even if he was given another chance, he would not be sure that he could stop it.

With such a huge gap, he had no choice but to admit defeat.

"The fruit is yours!"

The white-haired young man looked up and spoke word by word.

"Thank you for your help!"

Hearing this, Gu Yuan was not polite and smiled slightly. Then he used his magic power to roll up the Taiyin Shenghun Fruit in the stone pond and put it away in a superior jade box. Then he waved his sleeves and the sword ball flew into the air and flew back into his sleeves.

"If an ordinary person were hit by this blow, he would be seriously injured even if I hold back. But with your wonderful method, I think he can recover at a small cost. It should not affect our trip to Treasure Burial Lake in five days."

After getting the Soul-Upgrading Fruit, Gu Yuan was in a good mood and said to the white-haired young man with a smile.

The Seven Treasures Dharma Body can recover quickly as long as it is not dead. It is no longer an ordinary mortal body.

It is precisely because of this body that he has a torso that is far superior to that of an ordinary person. Otherwise, even if Gu Yuan only injured his shoulder, the fierce sword energy would have torn it apart.

"Shi Yan!"

The white-haired young man covered his shoulder, stood up, and said something to Gu Yuan.

Seeing that he seemed confused, he added: "My name!"

Then, without waiting for Gu Yuan to reply, a silver light appeared at his feet. Then he stomped his feet, and the whole person turned into a blurry shadow and disappeared on the Danghun Peak.

"Shi Yan, this is interesting..."

Seeing this, Gu Yuan did not stop him. He just stood there and repeated the name softly.

Zhuiyun Mountain is only the first level of the Lingbao Cliff Secret Realm.

Most of those who entered the secret realm before were hanging out here, looking for opportunities.

The second level is the Treasure Lake!

Zangbao Lake is a vast lake.

This lake has buried countless discarded magical weapons and spiritual materials. It was the "treasure burial place" of the Lingbao Sect in the past, and the name of the lake came from this.

The Lingbao Sect set up a strange formation in this lake, and with the addition of evil spirits and turbid air from countless abandoned magic weapons, a layer of strange "Zang Yin Illusion Evil" eventually grew in the lake.

This evil spirit contains endless psychedelic power. Any cultivator who wants to fly over this lake will be confused by the evil spirit and involuntarily fall into the lake until he drowns without knowing it.

Not only that, there are countless "soldier souls" wandering around in this evil. These soldier souls have no physical form, but they have the power of magic weapons, and are very difficult to deal with.

When they form large groups, they are enough to kill any cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core.

This lake can be called a natural barrier. Even cultivators in the late Jindan stage may not be able to cross it.

But this secret realm is the trial place of Lingbao Sect after all, so a "trial road" was left behind.

There is a harbor in the Treasure Burial Lake, and in the harbor is a treasure ship. This ship was specially built by the Lingbao Sect for the trial, and it can block a large amount of psychedelic power and soldier souls.

However, in order to control the treasure ship, six cultivators in the middle stage of the Golden Core must work together.

The "Seniors of the Secret Realm" who had just entered this realm were unaware of this news. Many cultivators who entered it only thought about competing for opportunities and never thought that the secret realm required cooperation.

Later, I found out some information, but it was still unclear. In addition, there were intrigues among the people, so I couldn't get through this problem.

The Taoist collected information from many sources and used divination to confirm the information. He then asked everyone to be patient and cross the Treasure Lake first.

After all, beyond this lake is Lingbao Cliff!
The true core of the secret realm!
Those who entered the secret realm this time were all ambitious people, and they would not fall out with each other until they reached Lingbao Cliff.

Just as Gu Yuan was thinking, a triumphant voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Master! Master!"

"I killed the guardian beast of Danghun Peak. There is no obstacle on this mountain now. I can take treasures at will."

“Hahaha, this little bug is actually a soul-path demon bug. It can ignore spells, go straight into the cultivator’s sea of ​​consciousness, and devour the cultivator’s soul.”

"It's a pity that you met me, your master. You are showing off your skills in front of me!"

In the soul mist, the Heart-Eating Bug came over with a big laugh, holding a blood-colored ball of light in its hand.

In the ball of light, a blurry insect shadow could be vaguely seen, but it was already standing still and had lost its breath.

"master!"

The heart-eating worm was delighted after having defeated its "big enemy", but when it was halfway there, it discovered that there was nothing above the stone pool and the crystal clear little tree.

There was still a faint sword energy lingering in the air.

"Guarding the law in front of the cave, don't make any noise!"

Gu Yuan waved his hand, gave an order to the heart-eating worm, and then walked into the cave.

He was certain that the heart-eating worm would be able to defeat the monster on the Soul-Dangling Peak, so he left with peace of mind.

This insect has the ability to take away souls. It is an alien species, but it is unlucky to have encountered a heart-eating insect.

……

……

This cave should be the nest of the strange insects. Although it is dark in the cave, it is not eroded by the soul-shaking wind. On the contrary, there is a vigorous soul power emanating from the cave, which makes people feel shocked.

Not only that, this cave seems to have a strange shielding power, and the soul mist floating in the peak can block the detection of divine thoughts, making it extremely hidden.

"It's a good place to refine the Soul-Uplifting Fruit!"

Gu Yuan looked around, then used his magical power to push away all the scattered bones and rubble in the cave, revealing a flat rock, and sat cross-legged on it.

Obtaining the Soul-Ascension Fruit is only the first step of this journey.

There is still fighting on Lingbao Cliff, so we should try our best to improve our strength. This fruit is extremely effective, so there is no need to delay, and we should refine it as soon as possible.

However, Gu Yuan had consumed a lot of energy from the previous sword strike. He was not in a hurry at the moment, but sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and began to recover his magic power.

……

……

Just as Gu Yuan was recovering his magic power in Danghun Peak and preparing to swallow the Soul-Upgrading Fruit, outside Danghun Peak, on an unnamed mountain.

The Taoist priest was wearing a straw hat on his head and had several strange talismans pasted on his body. He was hiding in the ancient forest, carefully looking at the golden turtle in his hand.

Inside the golden tortoise, there are six copper coin seals, shining brightly.

Suddenly, the golden turtle trembled and golden light seemed to flow out. The Taoist was overjoyed when he saw this. He immediately shook the golden turtle and then threw out six copper coin seals, which fell to the ground, revealing a mysterious trajectory.

"The omen of great misfortune gradually faded, and the opportunity disappeared. It seems that it has been obtained by someone."

"Southeast, west, southwest, someone is coming out!"

The Taoist priest looked at the hexagram on the ground, muttered to himself, then suddenly raised his head and looked towards the southwest.

The moment he looked up, a green light flashed in his eyes.

The whole world suddenly expanded at a rapid speed and rushed towards him. It was dozens of miles away, but he could see everything clearly.

This is not a method of detecting with divine thoughts, but simply peeping with the eyes. It is extremely secretive, but it is farther than divine thoughts.

"It's him!"

"The white-haired boy from the Qibao Dharmakaya Sect!"

"The opportunity just disappeared, the omen of great misfortune just resolved, and this guy came out. Could it be that this opportunity was taken away by him?"

"Is this the person the bad omen refers to?"

"This person actually has such means?!"

The Taoist was afraid of being discovered, so he only glanced at her from a distance of dozens of miles away, then immediately looked away, not daring to look again.

However, for some reason, he always felt a little uneasy and confused.

This feeling came out of nowhere, but made him feel a little irritated.

"Forget it, forget it. Let me do another divination to see if it is this person!"

The art of divination is not omnipotent. Most of the time, it can only predict good or bad luck and direction. It is impossible to clearly calculate the specific reasons for good or bad luck, or the names and identities of the people involved in the good or bad luck.

At least he doesn't have the ability.

Many times, we can only infer and speculate based on vague information.

Moreover, the method of divination has a huge backlash. If you make too many deductions, it will really shorten your lifespan.

But the matter was of great importance, so the fortune teller decided to do another test.

"Wow!"

Lifting the golden turtle, the fortune teller shook it again, ready to throw out the copper coin.

"Um?!"

But at this moment, he suddenly found that the golden turtle in his hand became extremely heavy, and the six copper coins were like mountains, and he couldn't throw them away.

"how come?"

The Taoist hexagram's face suddenly changed!
The coin is immovable and as hard to throw as a mountain. This is a sign that the person's cultivation level has surpassed his own by a great deal and is difficult to predict.

Is there someone in Zhuiyun Mountain who has such strength?

Is it because that white-haired boy got the opportunity?

Taoist Gua's expression immediately became solemn.

"It seems that we have to be careful with this person. If there is a chance, we have to kick him out first..."

The fortune teller never thought that after several fortune-tellings, the situation would get worse each time, which made him feel gloomy.

But the most precious treasure was born at this time.

He thought for a long time and decided to wait and see if he could use the strategy of a tiger swallowing a wolf.

……

……

"boom!"

After the Soul-Ascending Fruit entered his stomach, Gu Yuan felt that his soul suddenly flew up, as if it had ascended to the unknown sky, floating in the air without knowing why.

But it wasn’t cold. On the contrary, it felt like returning to the womb, extremely warm and reassuring.

There is no need to refine it, surges of power are rushing towards his soul from all directions.

Gu Yuan actually felt a sense of "growing up" for the first time in a long time.

This was not an illusion, but his soul was constantly solidifying, growing and thriving like a sapling.

"boom!"

I don’t know how long it took, it seemed like a moment, but also like several days. This kind of nourishment reached its limit, and then suddenly exploded.

Gu Yuan felt that the sky and the earth suddenly brightened, and the whole world became clear, as if a thin film was separated from it, and everything was clearly visible.

Late stage of Golden Elixir!

After nurturing his soul power, he finally broke through to the late stage of Golden Core.

Although he is also in the Jindan realm, the late Jindan stage is incomparable to the early and middle stages. He is a true great cultivator who can serve as the spokesperson of the sect.

The soul is like a mountain, and the consciousness is like the sea, which is extremely powerful.

And the warm current in the soul has not stopped yet, surging at a rapid speed, allowing Gu Yuan's soul power to continue moving forward in the warmth, surging all the way, like a rolling river, seemingly with no end.

Information from the entire world poured in like a tide and fell into Gu Yuan's heart. He sat cross-legged without moving, but all the sounds in the world seemed to automatically converge on him.

Suddenly, an invisible shackle suddenly appeared.

Gu Yuan felt like he was a bird flying across the sky. Suddenly, a barrier appeared above the sky, hindering his flight.

As his soul power surged, Gu Yuan felt that he was still growing stronger. However, the barrier was too thick. No matter how he spread his wings or crashed, it was of no use.

And at this moment, the warm current in the soul disappeared.

The feeling of ascension ended, and Gu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.

“The peak of the golden elixir…”

What a great Taiyin Soul-Shengming Fruit! It is truly extraordinary!
Gu Yuan couldn't help but feel happy.

This fruit was extremely effective. It helped him to rise rapidly in just a few days and advance to a higher realm, the most difficult realm to break through in the Golden Core realm.

But then, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Unfortunately, the Daotai realm is as difficult to cross as a natural chasm, otherwise we might not be able to make it in one go!"

The barrier just now should be the bottleneck of Daotai Realm. It is as thick as a mountain and difficult to fly over.

But then, Gu Yuan thought of another question: "This Lingbao Cliff Secret Realm must have existed for more than 4,000 years. If no one has set foot on Danghun Mountain so far, the Soul-Rising Fruit should be 4,000 years old. Why is it only 2,000 years old?"

"Could it be that it was eaten by the blood soul beast? Is this the second one?"

"Considering his cultivation, this shouldn't be the case, right?"

"If it is a 4,000-year-old soul-raising fruit, it may be possible to impact the soul power of the Dao Embryo Realm!"

Gu Yuan was confused, but he couldn't find the answer, so he could only sigh with regret.

Counting on my fingers, four and a half days have passed, and there is only half a day left before the appointment at Treasure Burial Lake.

After taking a few breaths to gather his turbulent soul power, Gu Yuan stepped out of the cave and headed towards the Treasure Burial Lake with the Heart-Eating Bug.
