I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 349: Toad Moon Sword Scripture, Moonlight Map!
The battle between the late Jindan cultivators was as powerful as a rainbow, with spiritual energy rolling for thousands of miles. The momentum was so great that it naturally attracted the attention of cultivators, not to mention that this place was not far from the Yunji Sect's mountain gate.

But by the time a Jindan cultivator from the Yunji Sect came to investigate, the turbulent spiritual energy had already slowly subsided, and no trace of it could be seen.

This made the monks who came to investigate frown.

He had rushed over quickly, but he didn't even see any figure. It seemed that the fight was extremely fast, and he didn't know which great monk took action.

The investigation was fruitless, so he had no choice but to return.

After all, they were not from the Yunji Sect, so he was too lazy to care too much.

……

At this time, Gu Yuan had already set up his escape light and left at a very fast speed, traveling a hundred miles in an instant, all the way towards the mountain gate of Qianlang Sect.

After escaping for thousands of miles, a stuttering cry suddenly came from a stiff figure in front of him:

"Master, Master, I can't take it anymore. This fellow's spirit is too strong and his memory is too vast. I need to go down to a quiet place and refine his spirit!"

This sound is naturally the sound of the heart-eating worm.

After all, the great demon Yinghuai was in the late third stage and was a powerful monster that had practiced for thousands of years. It was such a pity that such a creature died in vain.

So at the end of the fight, Gu Yuan used the Great Thunder Yuan Cave Divine Eye to pierce his soul, and then let the Heart-Eating Bug take the opportunity to live there, wanting to devour the opponent's memory and take control of his body.

But now it seems that the Heart-Eating Bug is still a little weak. Even if it is the Yinghuai monster whose soul is almost completely shattered and only has a faint consciousness, it is not so easy for him to live in it and refine his memory.

Gu Yuan looked into the distance and soon selected a remote and small hill under the vast clouds. With a flash of light, he disappeared from the clouds.

The mountain is only a few hundred feet high, and there are low hills on both sides. The spiritual energy is thin and it is sparsely populated.

"boom!"

As soon as Gu Yuan had a thought, the thick cliff on the top of the mountain made a roaring sound, and it seemed that an invisible giant hand hollowed out the belly of the mountain out of thin air, revealing a clean and spacious cave.

Then Gu Yuan strode out and sat cross-legged in the cave.

The heart-eating worm controlled the body of the Yinghuai monster and walked into the cave tremblingly. As soon as it entered, it immediately sat cross-legged with its eyes closed. A green soul light appeared on its body, and there was a six-winged insect shadow behind it, flickering continuously.

Gu Yuan's mind was filled with thoughts, he looked at it for a moment, and then he felt relieved.

His final attack with the Great Thunder Yuan Cave Divine Eye had completely shattered the soul of the great demon Ying Huai, and there was no possibility of repairing it. Now it was nothing but a thousand years of memories lingering in it, flowing chaotically. This memory was too huge, and the Heart-Eating Bug could not refine it at all in a short time.

The only way is to sit quietly and swallow it slowly.

According to Gu Yuan's estimation, it should take several days.

Naturally, this time could not be wasted. Gu Yuan waved his sleeves and took out a Qiankun bag and a silver sword pill.

The Qiankun bag is silver-gray, palm-sized, bulging, and looks ordinary.

But when Gu Yuan's mind touched it, in an instant, demonic energy lingered, like black fog, condensing into a hideous ghost face in the air, and suddenly pounced towards his eyebrows.

The ghost face had an evil aura and a strong soul-devouring intention. If an ordinary cultivator in the early or middle stage of the Golden Core stage was caught off guard, he would probably suffer a great loss after being hit by this.

But when Gu Yuan just took a quick glance, the gray mist ghost let out a sharp cry, then exploded and disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

Even the great demon Yinghuai himself was no match for Gu Yuan, so how could a mere restriction on a Qiankun bag stop him?

"boom!"

The golden elixir fire was like the gilded flame of the sun, with faint flashes of lightning. After only ten or so breaths, the Qiankun bag was completely refined, revealing everything inside.

Gu Yuan probed his spiritual sense into it and checked it out, but after just a moment, his brows slightly frowned, revealing a look of disappointment.

"Could it be that he had anticipated that this trip would be unfavorable and had really hidden his wealth in the cave?"

A great demon in the late third stage who has been active for thousands of years must be very wealthy. However, except for a few magic weapons and some common elixirs for restoring mana, there is nothing in this Qiankun bag.

Generally speaking, monks have storage bags and Qiankun bags. Except for some extremely large items, they will carry all their treasures with them.

As long as you can kill a cultivator, you can obtain all his treasures and thousands of years of heritage.

This is also the reason why the way of Jiexiu has been prosperous for a long time.

However, there are also some cultivators who, perhaps having a premonition that this journey will not go well, or who are doomed to die, do not want to keep their treasures on themselves and give them to their enemies. So they hide all their treasures, except for those needed for fighting, and either leave them to the right people or pass them on to future generations.

There are also some things that people would rather bury completely and let them return to dust than let others get them.

Or sell everything you have and use it for the fight to the death.

Now it seems that the great demon Yinghuai is not completely confident in this trip, as there is no food for cultivation in his Qiankun bag.

However, when Gu Yuan looked up at the heart-eating worm that was trying its best to devour his memory, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

With the Heart-Eating Bug in his hand, unless the person is a disciple of a big sect, he will definitely eat him whole, skin and bones!

However, although there was no food for cultivation in the Qiankun bag of the great demon Yinghuai, there were quite a few magic weapons.

In addition to the cracked [Soul-Swallowing Jade Armor Bottle], there is also a top-grade magic weapon, which is a three-inch "bell".

After Gu Yuan refined it, he immediately knew its name and ability.

This bell is called the [Huai Gui Heart-Captivating Bell]. When activated, it can release endless ghost sounds to attack other people's souls. If the power of the soul is low, the person will immediately freeze in place, with the mind scattered and unable to move.

However, if you encounter someone with unparalleled spiritual power, it will naturally be useless.

In addition, there are four mid-grade magic weapons, both offensive and defensive.

But these magic weapons were of little use to Gu Yuan, so he waved his sleeves and fed them all to the Lianbao Zhantian Gourd.

"clang!"

When the Lianbao Zhantian Gourd was at Lingbao Cliff, it was fed many magic weapons by Gu Yuan, and its spirituality had already greatly increased. At this moment, it swallowed these five magic weapons. The ancient seal patterns flowed like a golden waterfall, and a faint consciousness quietly surged, growing stronger and stronger.

But it is still far from the Daoyu Golden Bottle's unparalleled aura.

"I always feel like something is missing..."

Gu Yuan now has several third-level peak magic weapons in his hands, all of which have reached the threshold of fourth-level spiritual treasures.

The Zhuoyun Dingjie Gui, the Lianbao Zhantian Gourd, and the Liangyi Sword Pill were either nurtured for thousands of years or were a combination of many treasures. Their grades had completely surpassed the category of ordinary third-grade upper-grade items.

Gu Yuan originally thought that as long as he could integrate some more magic weapons, he would be able to allow the Lianbao Zhantian Gourd to completely cross this threshold and reach the level of a fourth-tier spiritual treasure.

But now, after fusing another top-grade magic weapon and four mid-grade magic weapons, Gu Yuan felt something was wrong.

The spirituality of the Refining Treasure Heaven-Slaying Gourd increased, and the Heaven-Slaying Essence inside it became even sharper, capable of killing those in the late Jindan stage, far exceeding the scope of third-order magic weapons. However, it always felt a little lacking from the realm of the Dao Jade Golden Bottle.

It was like a palace that was constantly being built up, but a main beam was missing. "Forget it, let's go back to Qianlang Sect or the Taoist Temple first..."

After fruitless thinking and unable to explain the reason, Gu Yuan stopped pondering, put away the Lianbao Zhantian Gourd, and then picked up the silver sword pill.

"laugh!"

As soon as the sword ball touched his hand, a cool breath flowed, and the hazy moonlight gushed out from the sword ball, lingering on Gu Yuan's fingertips, scattering large patches of silver light. At first glance, what he was holding between his fingers was not a sword ball, but a bright moon.

"Such pure moonlight power!"

Gu Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.

This sword ball was as cold as water, and the rich moonlight flowed continuously like a trickle. It gave him the feeling that it was not a metal object, but a piece of natural moon ball cut from the bright moon.

What a treasure!
When he was fighting with the great demon Yu Yinghuai, he saw the sword-cultivating puppet and realized the magic of the sword pill. He secretly felt it was a pity.

This sword pill and the sword seal practiced by the sword cultivator puppet are both extraordinary things. The only pity is that the vision is only seven hundred feet long. No one knows what happened to it, but it was harmed by the Yinghuai monster and turned into a puppet.

But this sword pill is undoubtedly a top-grade sword pill.

To be honest, it is even more mysterious than the top-grade sword pill refined by Master Xuan Guang in the Taoist temple back then.

"If this sword pill is integrated into the Liangyi Sword Pill, what changes will occur?"

Gu Yuan thought to himself.

The sword pill is the sword seal. Ever since he fused the sword pill into the Liangyi Sword Seal in the Liangyi Secret Realm, his sword pill has become a "melting furnace" that can melt all kinds of sword pills and sword techniques. The more sword techniques he learns, the more powerful the Liangyi sword intent will be. The more sword pills he melts, the sharper the Liangyi sword pills will naturally be.

Before this, although the sword skills he had refined also had the rhythm of Taiyin, it was generally more domineering and masculine.

If one could learn the sword technique engraved on this sword pill, one would surely be able to gain some benefits, and the Yin and Yang of the two would take one step further.

But there is no rush for this matter.

It would be time-consuming and laborious to try to learn the sword techniques from the sword pill alone, and it might not be possible.

The best plan for now is to wait until the heart-eating worm has devoured the memory of the great demon Yinghuai and learn the origin of this sword cultivator puppet.

With this thought in mind, Gu Yuan was no longer anxious. Instead, he used his magic power to slowly refine and nurture the sword pill while waiting for the heart-eating worm to refine it.

He even tried three things at once, taking out the stone liquid and checking for opportunities in all directions.

Unfortunately, as his cultivation level increased, the opportunities that Shiye could see became increasingly scarce.

This time, again, nothing was gained.

Gu Yuan had anticipated this result, so he closed his eyes, said nothing more, and waited quietly.

……

……

Three days passed by in a flash.

In the cave, above the stiff body of the Yinghuai monster, the emerald green insect shadow suddenly shone brightly, spread its six wings, let out a cry, and then suddenly drilled in and landed between the eyebrows of the Yinghuai monster.

The Yinghuai demon's stiff body shook violently, and then its eyes, which had been closed for several days, suddenly opened, and a green insect shadow flashed within them.

After waking up, he touched his hands and feet excitedly. After confirming that he was able to move without any problems, a flattering smile appeared on the old face of the Yinghuai demon. He hurriedly saluted to Gu Yuan and said:
"Thank you very much for your help, Master! Thank you very much for your help!"

"The little bug has completely taken over this body and refined its memories!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan simply asked, "How much strength has been retained? Is he capable of fighting at the late stage of a great demon?"

As soon as these words came out, the Heart Devouring Bug's face fell, and he said helplessly: "It's all my incompetence. Although I am a late-stage Great Demon, I can move freely, but I still can't exert my full strength. I can't activate the vision."

It had just broken through to the early stage of the Great Demon not long ago. Living in this body was like a child controlling a mecha, and it could only exert half of its strength at best.

Gu Yuan had anticipated this outcome, and immediately asked, "Where is the cave of this great demon? Do you know the sword technique on this sword ball?"

"Reporting to the master, before this great demon came here, he was afraid that after getting the longevity fruit, he would be ambushed and all his belongings would be lost, so he placed all the spiritual materials in the cave."

"I am this demon living in this body. I can control the restrictions of the cave. If you want, I can get the spiritual materials for you immediately."

"As for the sword technique on this sword ball, I also know that it is a superior sword technique called [Chanyue Sword Sutra]!"

"This sword scripture comes from an ancient sect called [Yuehua Divine Sect]. It is said that this sect was founded by a great master from the Mahayana realm in the Central Plains."

"This sect has a long and ancient history, tens of thousands of years old, but a great change occurred within the sect, which led to the cessation of the sect's inheritance. Only a small number of scriptures have been circulated, and they are still incomplete."

"The sword-cultivating puppet is named Zhan Junxi. He is the current head of the Yuehua Divine Sect and is known as the Yuehua Master. He once explored the secret realm with the Yinghuai monster and was killed by it. He was refined into a puppet and the sword scripture was also obtained by it."

The heart-eating worm devoured the memory and knew everything about the past of the great monster Yinghuai, and now he told the story in detail.

"Mahayana realm?!"

Gu Yuan was slightly surprised.

“After Daotai, there is Yuanxiang Venerable, after Yuanxiang Venerable, there is Tianling Realm, after Tianling Realm is Mahayana Realm!”

The Heart Eater immediately explained.

"It's actually this level?!"

Gu Yuan never expected that the Toad Moon Sword Scripture and the sword pill would have such an origin and be a wonderful method left behind by a Mahayana sect.

You know, the top combat power of the fourth-tier sect in Dongshan Domain is only at the Daotai realm.

The Yuan Xiang realm is already like a dragon that can only be seen from head to tail.

Gu Yuan had never heard of the Mahayana realm.

How could such a sect lose its inheritance and end up like this?
Faced with this question, the Heart-Eating Bug also shook its head and said it didn't know.

"The Yuehua Divine Sect has been in decline for thousands of years. Even Zhan Junxi himself doesn't know about that past, let alone this old monster Yinghuai."

“However, it is said that the Yuehua Divine Sect has a unique magic method hidden in the mountain gate. After the old demon Yinghuai refined Zhan Junxi into a puppet, he used his sword to slaughter all the members of the Yuehua Sect in an attempt to find this method, but failed.”

"But it's not all in vain. This old demon got a map from the Yuehua Divine Sect."

"The map records a treasure route to a secret cave, but I have no clue about the location and method of opening this secret cave, just like the moon in the water."

"The opportunity this old demon wants to present to the master is precisely this map!"
