I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 366: Sky-patrolling Merit Tower, Three Demon Blood Corpse Seal!

There was lightning and thunder, and heavy rain.

This heavy rain that has lasted for thousands of miles has not stopped yet and will continue for at least seven days.

If there weren't so many practitioners in Dongshan Region, with sects of all sizes scattered across the region like stars, who could comb the water veins and use magic power to eliminate floods, this heavy rain would have brought disaster to countless mortals.

However, for the dragon that is comparable to Venerable Yuan Xiang, it is still a dilemma whether he cares about the life of a mortal.

The Yinhuang Mountains were also shrouded in an endless curtain of rain, with mist rising and reflecting the thousands of peaks like a painting, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

But in this picturesque scenery, a solemn and tense atmosphere quietly permeates.

And above the sky, a golden Dharma ship was emitting layers of golden light, like the sun, blocking all sights.

In the Dharma Boat, Yunyang Zhenren stood at the head seat, sitting cross-legged on a cushion.

Gu Yuan sat at the lower end, standing and serving.

"Do you know why I called you here alone?"

Master Yunyang looked at Gu Yuan's overly young face and smiled softly.

"Is it for the battle in three days?"

Gu Yuan replied softly.

After Yuanyang Zhenren and Qianjing Pavilion had reached an agreement, he summoned the Dharma Boat to block all sights and called him to talk alone. His purpose seemed self-evident.

"Yes, it is for the battle in three days."

"If I ask for too much directly, I'm afraid that Master Honglie would rather die than give in easily. But if we fight, there is hope. Even if he loses, it will be because his disciples are incompetent, which will make him feel better. Therefore, I predict that he will agree to the fight."

"And the reason why I am so determined to use fighting to decide the outcome is not only because I want to obtain more spiritual materials and contribute to the foundation of Jiuyi Mountain, but also because I want to give you an opportunity!"

Speaking of this, Master Yunyang stroked his beard and laughed, with emotion in his eyes.

"May I ask, Master, what is this opportunity?"

When Gu Yuan heard this, his heart moved slightly, and he immediately bowed and asked.

He also didn't expect that this fight would actually involve the word chance.

"Before this, I left my body and hunted down the Nine Flame Demon King, not only to eliminate all evil, but also for an opportunity."

As Master Yunyang spoke, he waved his sleeves, and then a green glazed pagoda with an inexplicable spiritual charm quietly appeared in front of him.

"This is……"

Gu Yuan looked up and saw an inexplicable spiritual power flowing on the tower, making the whole pagoda sparkle with a hazy light, giving the illusion that it would break through the air at any time.

It makes people feel that this thing does not seem to be from this world.

"My Qingfeng Taoist Academy has never listened to the words of the Heavenly Palace since the third generation of ancestors, but my Taoist Academy is a force under the true rule of the Heavenly Palace, with a long heritage. If we really talk about the roots, 99% of the sects in the Dongshan Great Region cannot compare to it."

"Unfortunately, times have changed. It's better not to talk about the past."

Master Yunyang did not immediately explain the origin of the Glazed Pagoda, but sighed slightly, and then said:

"This Sky-Peering Merit Tower is a treasure that was passed down from the Heavenly Palace to our Taoist temple."

"The reason why I was able to achieve the late Dao fetus in the barren land of Nanshan Region and refine the fourth-order Zixiao Dao soldiers that are comparable to the late Dao fetus is inseparable from this tower!"

As he spoke, Master Yunyang stretched out his hand and released a stream of magical power, which landed on the glazed pagoda.

The pagoda suddenly trembled, green light flowed, and a blank green book of imperial edict emerged from the pagoda.

Not only that, when the green edict appeared, there were several hazy spiritual lights moving endlessly in the tower, full of strange Taoist rhyme, as if they couldn't wait to get out of the tower.

"Have you seen this imperial decree?"

Master Yunyang raised his hand and asked.

Gu Yuan nodded naturally.

"As long as you are a disciple of my Taoist temple, you can swear on the imperial edict blue book that you are willing to make contributions to the Taoist temple and spread the name of the Heavenly Palace. After your wish is fulfilled, this tower will automatically emit spiritual light, allowing those who have made contributions to receive rewards from the Heavenly Palace."

Master Yunyang pointed at the pagoda and explained its capabilities.

Make great wishes, accomplish great deeds, and get rewards?
Gu Yuan raised his head in surprise.

The Taoist temple actually has such rare objects. Could it be that the Taoist temple is connected to the Heavenly Palace?

Could it be that the reason why the dean was able to achieve the late stage of Dao Tai and sacrifice the Purple Sky Dao soldiers was because he issued a military order to "expand the territory", "cut down the mountains and destroy the sects", and "kill the fourth-level demon king"?
Could it be that the existence of this tower was also the reason why the Taoist temple conquered Jiuchuan?

Could it be a great achievement to eliminate the threat of the dragon monster next to my bed?
For a moment, Gu Yuan's thoughts were in a mess and he couldn't help but think of many things.

Yun Yang Zhenren seemed to have seen through Gu Yuan's thoughts, and nodded immediately, saying without hesitation: "Everything you think about is related to this tower."

"Joining forces with Brother Mo, eliminating the demonic threat, conquering Jiuchuan, and even cultivating Tiandou and opening up trade routes are all contributions."

“With the help of many merits, I was able to cultivate to the late stage of Daotai in the barren land of Nanshan Domain. I am no less powerful than the top sect leaders of Dongshan Domain and can kill the Nine Flame Demon King!”

"As for the Purple Sky Dao Soldier, it was because I killed the Nine Flames Demon King and conquered the mountains and destroyed the sects that the Dao Soldier Spirit Seed was bestowed upon me."

When Gu Yuan heard this, he was shocked.

No wonder, no wonder the dean is so ambitious and enterprising.

No wonder he could cultivate to the late stage of Daotai in the barren land of Nanshan Region and possess such strength.

It turns out that this treasure is hidden in the Taoist temple!

"May I ask, Dean, is it possible for the Taoist temple to contact the Heavenly Palace now? Are the things in this tower really bestowed by the Heavenly Palace?"

After being surprised, Gu Yuan thought of the deeper things behind this and asked immediately.

Upon hearing this, Master Yunyang sighed slightly, then shook his head and said, "The things inside were indeed bestowed by the Heavenly Palace, but they are very old, and they did not fall from the Heavenly Palace today."

"Look at the spiritual light in this tower. It is the gift you received for fulfilling your vows and performing meritorious services."

As Master Yunyang spoke, he pointed at several rays of light moving in the glazed tower, his tone full of emotion.

"Once upon a time, this tower was filled with spiritual light, moving like a swimming fish, but now only a few rays remain."

"This is also the last bit of our Taoist temple's heritage."

"You are only two hundred years old, but you have extraordinary skills. Now that I have defeated the Thousand Scriptures Pavilion, it happens to be a great achievement that will make you famous all over the world. If you can defeat the Thousand Scriptures Pavilion's golden elixir, you can fulfill your oath and receive the reward in the tower."

"Although I don't know what this Pagoda of Merit will give you, I can be sure that the pagoda is full of treasures and will never let you down."

"Gu Yuan, are you confident?"

At the end of his speech, Master Yunyang's expression became serious and he looked at Gu Yuan with burning eyes.

"This fight is a best-of-three contest. Why did the dean only call me here?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan did not answer immediately, but asked the question in his mind.

"It is foolish to have a mountain of treasure but not use it. The situation is changing. We must make progress. If we stand still, we will only wait for destruction."

"So over the years, I have made constant vows and worked hard to obtain treasures in the tower and improve my strength. However, the Taoist Academy has accumulated thousands of years of experience, so how can I use it all up in one day unless it is absolutely necessary?"

"You, Tiandou, and Jianhu, I can only choose one to train." "Before it was Tiandou, but now it seems that you are more suitable."

"Once you succeed in this mission, I will seal this tower. Do not use it lightly unless it is absolutely necessary."

"I originally wanted to decide the outcome in one battle to save time, but Taoist Honglie was afraid of the risk, so he decided to have a best-of-three match."

"But I predict that in the end of this battle, I will still have to rely on you."

"The Qianjing Pavilion has a history of thousands of years. Although its background is not as good as our Taoist Academy, it has no shortage of resources. There is a golden elixir in it, named Song Wenxing. I have also heard of this boy's name. His strength is extremely powerful. Tiandou and Jianhu may not be able to defeat him. Do you have confidence?"

True Man Yunyang had been planning this trip for a long time, even taking the Jindan cultivators from the Qianjing Pavilion into consideration. Now, only the last step is left.

This step will change because of Gu Yuan's appearance.

Otherwise, according to his original plan, there would not be the "Golden Elixir Battle" step.

It would be enough to directly use the power to suppress others, snatch a sum of food from the Thousand Scriptures Pavilion, and intimidate the various sects in the southern border of Dongshan Territory.

But Gu Yuan's appearance made him change his plan temporarily.

He was willing to use six sacred peaks, three shell fields, a thousand-year-old medicinal garden, a ten-thousand-year-old dragon ginseng, a million people, a magical treasure, and a true scripture to build a ladder for Gu Yuan, so that he could take another step forward on the path of cultivation and get another opportunity.

How could we not cultivate a late Jindan master who is less than two hundred years old and has such a charisma?
The future glory of Qingfeng Taoist Temple for thousands of years may depend on this person.

Master Yunyang has really tried his best for the Taoist temple.

Gu Yuan was also deeply moved when he heard this.

Although he had practiced in a Taoist temple before, apart from the true scriptures and methods, he had almost no resources to devote to it.

But he never complained.

The Taoist temple is poor, there is nothing we can do.

It's impossible that he had just broken through to the Jindan stage and the dean would allocate all the resources originally allocated to Master Tiandou, who was in the late Jindan stage, to him, right?
But now, he truly felt the dean's desire to cultivate him.

"I am a humble disciple, but I will definitely help the dean to retrieve the Lingfeng Shell Field and the True Scripture and the Spiritual Treasure!"

Gu Yuan's expression became serious and he bowed respectfully.

"good!"

"Come forward and swear an oath on the decree to bring honor to our temple."

Upon hearing this, Master Yunyang also laughed. Then he waved his sleeves, took out the imperial edict in green book, and asked Gu Yuan to write it with his essence and blood.

"My Taoist temple is the orthodox one of the Heavenly Palace. Even if the oath is not fulfilled, it is just that you will not get the reward and will not have a second chance to express your thoughts. There will be no backlash, so there is no need to worry."

Before Gu Yuan finished writing, Master Yunyang added another sentence.

Gu Yuan nodded, and then wrote a few large characters on the decree with his blood:
"I vow to defeat the Thousand Scriptures Pavilion, seize the treasures of Lingfeng, and strengthen the Taoist Academy!"

……

……

Yinhuang Mountain, Tianquan Peak, and Golden Sun Palace.

Master Honglie sat in the first seat, with three Taoist statues sitting on his sides.

Below are three Jindan monks with strong auras.

The leader was a young man in a white robe and black hair. He had double pupils in his left eye and single pupil in his right eye, which looked quite strange. But with his hands behind his back, his posture was unrestrained and his aura was as unbridled as the ocean, which made him look extremely extraordinary.

On the left side behind the young man is a Taoist nun with a graceful figure and handsome face, and on the right is a middle-aged man with a short stature and dark skin.

"I think you all already know about the battle."

Master Honglie glanced at the three people below and asked calmly.

"Disciple knows, I will not let Master down!"

The leading young man chuckled, his tone full of confidence.

He certainly couldn't defeat a Daotai cultivator, but he had full confidence in fighting against a Jindan cultivator.

He just didn't believe that Qingfeng Taoist Temple, in such a remote place, could really produce so many "real dragons".
"I know your strength, but Master Yunyang is making such a big fuss and making such a promise, we must be on guard."

Master Honglie nodded at first, then his expression became solemn again.

Qingfeng Taoist Temple conquered Mount Jiuyi and suddenly oppressed his Qianjing Pavilion. There must be great confidence behind it, otherwise it would not act like this.

And his own disciples have long been famous in the vast territory and have extraordinary strength. That old Taoist Yunyang still dares to accept the challenge, he must have something to rely on.

"Master, don't worry. I will make sure that the three golden cores from Qingfeng Taoist Academy will never come back!"

Song Wenxing put his hands behind his back, and did not try to hide his arrogance even in front of his master.

"The means used in public are probably already known to everyone, and cannot be relied upon."

"Xing'er, have you studied the Three Demon Blood Corpse Seals?"

Master Honglie was not angry when he saw this, he just lowered his eyes and asked softly.

Hearing the words "Three Demonic Blood Corpses", Song Wenxing frowned and said, "This method is against the harmony of nature and can damage one's bones. Although I have studied it, I have not practiced it."

"This method is indeed harmful to one's bones and has great lethality. It is a real killer move. There is no shortage of resources in the pavilion. With your talent, you should be able to successfully refine it within a few days..."

Master Honglie lowered his head and spoke softly.

"I have the confidence to defeat Qingfeng Daoist Academy, so I don't need this method!"

Song Wenxing frowned and spoke again.

"I originally thought that I could seize half of Mount Jiuyi from the Qingfeng Taoist Academy as a foundation for your future breakthrough, but things are unpredictable. The Qingfeng Taoist Academy is under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Palace and has a deep foundation!"

"Without any unexpected trump cards, I'm afraid it won't be enough. I have prepared a quiet room for you. Please go down and make the seal well."

"As for your bones, don't worry. I have the 'Blood Spirit Body Promotion Seal'. If you remove the seal yourself afterwards, I can repair your bones and it won't affect your ascent to the Great Dao!"

Master Honglie's tone was very light, but it carried an unquestionable tone.

Song Wenxing sighed, but could only bow his head: "This is the order of Master, and I will obey it."

Hearing this, Master Honglie's expression suddenly eased a little, and he said gently: "You are my last disciple, the successor of my mantle. If it weren't for the last resort, I would never want to do this. But the Qingfeng Taoist Temple's requirements are too harsh, I will never tolerate it, I must win this battle!"

"Qingfeng Daoyuan is under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Palace. Even if they act in a domineering manner, they will never be able to achieve the quick success of magic cultivation in the Thousand Scriptures Pavilion. This seal is your trump card. You can refine it with confidence. I will never break my promise!"

"Yes, Master!"

Song Wenxing responded, then disappeared in a flash, leaving the hall and heading towards the quiet room at the mountain gate.

Then Master Honglie and the others all looked at the beautiful Taoist nun and the short man.

"This matter still requires your help, so take this seal and refine it!"

After saying this, a stream of light fell into the palms of the two men.

The two could only agree.
