I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 377: On the coast of the East China Sea, slaying the demon in Chilan Mountain!

Gu Yuan was closing his eyes, as if he was practicing. When he heard this, he immediately opened his eyes.

In an instant, lightning surged, and it seemed that invisible electric light lit up above the lake.

Although Yuan Chengfu bowed his head, he still felt the void was white, and the world around him seemed as bright as day.

This made him bow his head even lower, and he became more resolute in his choice.

"No need to be so polite, just raise your head and speak!"

At this moment, he heard a gentle voice in his ears, and then his body stood up involuntarily and looked forward.

But his expression remained humble, and he pleaded again: "I beg the headmaster to have mercy on me and help me enter the Golden Elixir realm. I have a supreme opportunity to offer you."

"Could it be the opportunity in the East..."

Gu Yuan chuckled when he heard that, and the gorgeous female cultivator beside him also laughed. She was so beautiful and charming that she was beyond comparison.

When Yuan Chengfu heard this, he was shocked and couldn't help but look up and ask, "This is a secret passed down from generation to generation in our Yuan family. How did the head of the academy know it?"

Just this one sentence from Gu Yuan disrupted all his plans.

This was a secret passed down from generation to generation in his family. He had always kept it to himself and had never told anyone about it. How could the person in front of him know it?
The most important thing is, since the other party already knows about it, does it still count as an opportunity? Can I still achieve the Golden Elixir?

"Don't panic!"

"I didn't spy on you, but I learned from practicing the Rainbow Sutra. If you practice deeply, you will also gain some insights..."

Seeing this, Gu Yuan immediately comforted him.

He is not lying.

During these forty years, he had never left the mountain and had been practicing in seclusion in the mountains. With the help of many resources and the assistance of the Taoist Jade Golden Bottle, he already had three thousand nine hundred strands of magic power.

As long as he waits another four years and the Dao Jade Golden Bottle produces another Dao Jade, he will be able to achieve the peak of the Golden Elixir and start to break through the Dao Embryo.

In addition to practicing magic, he also took the [Nourishing Spirit Honey] offered by the Barbarian God Mountain, used the Great Dream Golden Seal to comprehend the many scriptures obtained from the Taoist Temple, and practiced and studied the "Tianhong Sutra" to teach Yuan Chengfu.

The "Tianhong Sutra" is worthy of being the Jiuyi Ancient Sect's sect-protecting sutra. It is obscure and extremely mysterious.

But with Gu Yuan's current understanding and the blessings of many Dharma seals, it is not a problem for him to comprehend this sutra.

After collecting purple energy from outer space for forty years, Gu Yuan has completely cultivated the "Body of Rainbow" and successfully refined the [Heavenly Seal] recorded in the "Rainbow Sutra".

As soon as he mastered this method, he immediately had a mysterious insight, as if there was something far away in the east that was attracting him, giving him an urge to explore.

However, the direction was extremely vague, and I only had a vague sense that it was in the east.

But Gu Yuan immediately understood that this eastern land should be where the opportunity of "Tianhong Sutra" should be.

No wonder when I got the stone book of "Tianhong Zhenjing" that day, it showed that the opportunity came. It turned out that it should be here.

However, Gu Yuan did not act immediately, but continued to practice and wait patiently.

After all, there are some things that cannot be done privately.

And today, Yuan Chengfu asked for a meeting. Without saying a word, he bowed his head and Gu Yuan knew that the time had come.

"I see. Poor me, I thought that as long as I didn't tell anyone about this secret, no one would know it. I didn't expect that everything was already hidden in the true scripture. No wonder the ancestor ordered that this scripture must not be passed on to outsiders. Yuan's disciples must practice hard and break through the golden elixir..."

Hearing Gu Yuan's explanation, Yuan Chengfu immediately smiled bitterly.

Poor guy, he thought he had hidden it well, but he didn't know that the moment he presented the true scripture, the secret had already been revealed.

“It’s just a mysterious realization. If you can completely cultivate into a rainbow body and forge the [Heavenly Seal], you can also gain some realizations.”

Gu Yuan smiled.

"My disciple's talent is dull. If there is no external help, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything. Now all I want is the golden elixir!"

Yuan Chengfu sighed.

"Although I have some insights, I have not taken any action. After all, this sutra came from your Yuan family and is related to you. It depends on your choice..."

Gu Yuan's eyes were deep and he spoke softly.

The stone liquid is indeed mysterious. Although this sutra was obtained by the Yuan family, it took thousands of years to complete. Therefore, it is regarded as "ownerless". As long as one has a little ability, one can get it.

However, he is now teaching Yuan Chengfu and is considered to be half a teacher. Even if he has some intentions, he cannot accept the offer without asking.

"Since I have come here, I have naturally thought everything through."

"Thousands of years is too long. I only have time to fight for. If I can't make the golden elixir, what's the point of guarding this scripture?"

"I would like to offer this opportunity to the head of the academy, and ask him to help me achieve the Golden Elixir!"

Yuan Chengfu looked determined and bowed again.

"In that case, tell me in detail!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan did not shirk responsibility and responded immediately.

If you see a treasure mountain but do not enter it, you are not a cultivator!

"I don't know the specific origin of this matter, but my family has a precept passed down from generation to generation. If you can achieve the Golden Elixir, you can go to the coast of the East China Sea after 500 years. When a golden rainbow sweeps across the sky, you will have a chance to enter your heart and it will help you practice."

"The family still has a map passed down, but it has long been burned. However, I have memorized the map in my mind and can present it to the head of the academy."

As he spoke, Yuan Chengfu reached into his bosom, took out a blank jade slip, engraved a map on it, and presented it to Gu Yuan.

Without seeing Gu Yuan make any move, the map fell into his palm. Then he scanned it with his mind and immediately knew the location recorded on the map.

"Do you know what this opportunity is?"

Gu Yuan asked again.

"I really don't know. When the catastrophe came, our ancestors fled in a hurry and passed away without leaving many last words. I am afraid that the thousands of years of inheritance may have been distorted. I only know that it is of great benefit to Jindan cultivators and is related to the East China Sea."

Yuan Chengfu smiled bitterly.

He had mustered up great courage to come here today. Although this opportunity had been passed down from generation to generation in the family and should be true, no one had confirmed it after all, and thousands of years had passed, so who knew whether it had already disappeared.

If it is a mistake, then all the efforts will be in vain.

It was precisely because he was afraid that this opportunity was false and he himself had no ability to verify it that he simply offered it to Gu Yuan and took a chance.

"East China Sea, five hundred years..."

Gu Yuan murmured softly, thinking about everything.

Yuan Chengfu lowered his head, not daring to move, as if waiting for the judgment of his fate.

"Since you have offered me the family secret, how can I refuse? Come with me!"

Seeing this, Gu Yuan chuckled, put away his thoughts, and asked Yuan Chengfu to stand up.

He had the help of the stone liquid, so he naturally understood that this opportunity was real. However, he was afraid that he would have to go through it himself to find out what he would get in the end.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chengfu was overjoyed and immediately stood obediently on the lake.

"I haven't been out of the mountains for forty years, so it's a good time to loosen up my muscles. Give orders to bring all the things in the courtyard that can break through the realm. I will go find something for him that can definitely change the world. After this is done, I will go to the shore of the East China Sea."

Gu Yuan also stood up and said something to Cen Qingqing.

"Be careful!"

Cen Qingqing also stood up and said with concern.

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter!"

Hearing this, Gu Yuan laughed loudly, then his figure flashed and appeared outside the cave.

Yuan Chengfu was also grabbed by a great force and appeared outside the cave.

Outside the cave, a dry locust tree had completely lost its vitality. It fell to the ground shriveled and full of death.

"senior!"

Seeing this, Yuan Chengfu was shocked and couldn't help but exclaimed.

When he first entered Qingyu Peak, the first person he saw was the great monster Yinghuai. Later, when Gu Yuan practiced hard, he had received its guidance many times and had developed a sense of affection for the monster. Now, seeing its lifespan run out and it die, how could he not be sad?

Seeing this, Gu Yuan said calmly: "Evil insect, why don't you come back soon!"

“Hehe, Master, please forgive me, Master, please forgive me. Although this great monster Yinghuai died of old age, its body still has endless wood spirit energy, which is a great tonic!”

Along with a playful laugh, a green insect shadow flew into Gu Yuan's sleeve like a stream of light.

"This is..." Seeing this, Yuan Chengfu widened his eyes.

That voice just now was so familiar.

"Don't talk nonsense. Have you found your target?"

Gu Yuan ignored Yuan Chengfu, just gathered his sleeves and asked.

"Master, please understand. There is a sacred mountain 30,000 miles away from Mount Jiuyi. It is called Chilan Mountain. In the mountain lives a great monster called the Black-Splitting Giant Eagle. This eagle feeds a sacred tree called the Red Blood Mijin Wood."

"This tree bears fruit once every four hundred years, and each tree bears one fruit. It is called the Blood-Gold Fruit. This fruit can greatly increase the blood and energy of a cultivator, transforming them into a diamond body, and has a very strong effect on the golden elixir tribulation."

"This eagle was not originally on my list of targets, but during the catastrophe in the East Mountain Region and the West Realm, this eagle showed its evil nature and dared to abduct humans and use their bones to practice witchcraft. Its crime is unforgivable, so it was included on my list!"

The heart-eating worm answered in Gu Yuan’s sleeve.

"If that's the case, then that's it."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan nodded slightly.

Although he had been practicing in seclusion in the mountains for the past forty years and had never left, he had already arranged everything.

Help Yuan Chengfu to make the golden elixir, find a new body for the heart-eating worm, and eradicate the evil monster, achieving multiple goals at one stroke.

Yuan Chengfu was a little confused after hearing this.

From what the dean said, there is no treasure in the courtyard that can help people survive the tribulation. They need to plunder it on the spot... no, pick it?
"Concentrate your mind and don't let your imagination run wild. Thirty thousand miles of land is a good time to practice the Rainbow Sutra. Watch carefully!"

At this moment, Yuan Chengfu suddenly heard Gu Yuan's warning in his ears.

"Yes, Headmaster!"

Hearing this, Yuan Chengfu's heart trembled, and he immediately cleared his mind and looked at Gu Yuan.

"boom!"

In an instant, an indescribable terrifying magical power roared, and then Gu Yuan's body suddenly became ethereal and disappeared, replaced by a beam of purple and gold light.

After a cultivator breaks through the foundation-building stage, he will naturally master the ability to fly.

This is instinct, and requires no magic power, no magic seals, and no magic tools.

However, moving with the physical body alone is slow after all, so there is the "escape light".

The so-called escape light is mostly related to the skills practiced by the cultivators, and is an ability that comes with the skills.

Before this, Gu Yuan practiced the Great Thunder Yuan Tiandu Sutra. He only needed to circulate the sutra and consume his magic power to perform the "Thunder Yuan Escape Light". His body would be engulfed by the lightning light and move at an extremely fast speed.

In addition, there are various types of fire element escape light, water element escape light, and so on.

However, this kind of escape light is the "light of the true scriptures and magic" wrapped in the physical body, like a flying vehicle, carrying the cultivator.

But at this moment, Gu Yuan is no longer a human being, but has completely "become light".

This is the "Rainbow Body".

Gather purple energy from the sky, refine one's own body, and ultimately achieve the ability to transform the physical body.

This is also the state that Yuan Chengfu dreams of.

Unfortunately, he did not have a good talent, and this sutra was difficult to practice. Only someone at Gu Yuan's level, with the blessing of various seals, could easily complete it.

"Calm down!"

Gu Yuan's voice was heard in the rosy glow, and then an extremely mysterious force surged out from the rosy glow. Yuan Chengfu's body disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a smaller beam of light golden glow.

The spiritual mist surged, the mountain wind blew, and suddenly there was no one in front of Leiyuan Cave, only two beams of "light" floating in the air.

"call out!"

There was no loud sound of wind, nor any earth-shaking movement, and the two beams of light disappeared in an instant.

When he reappeared, he was already in a place thousands of miles away.

In the blink of an eye, it had completely disappeared from sight.

This is not a method of teleportation in the void, but simply a flying speed.

It was extremely fast, and the light was as eternal as the sun, seemingly never going out. It was a method of travel that could be activated for a long time, and was also an excellent means of escape.

Yuan Chengfu also turned into light and walked away. He felt that the mountains and rivers were disappearing in front of his eyes like fleeting shadows. With his current level of cultivation, he even felt dizzy and almost wanted to vomit.

But since his physical body was not there, he seemed to have only a bunch of thoughts in his mind and was unable to make any move.

He could only try his best to endure it, calm his mind, and carefully ponder the mystery of the light, but the dizziness and pain came like a tide, making it difficult for him to bear.

……

……

Surveying the sky for 30,000 miles.

They set out at sunrise and before noon they had reached Chilan Mountain.

"vomit!"

"vomit!"

Gu Yuan stood in the sky, with his sleeves fluttering, like a banished immortal.

Yuan Chengfu was retching continuously, his face was pale and he felt dizzy.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan sighed slightly, but did not take any other action.

After this test, he has realized that although Yuan Chengfu is eager to seek the truth, his temperament is not strong enough. If he encounters a great hardship, he may be in danger of mental collapse.

He was merely transforming into light and moving without using the [Heavenly Seal], but he was already in such a mess, his mind was shaken, and he was unable to comprehend the true scriptures and could hardly achieve anything.

But fortunately, it's just a breakthrough to the golden elixir stage, so he can still be protected.

"You have also practiced the way of the sword, so go down and try the methods of the Sky-Splitting Eagle!"

After Yuan Chengfu regained his composure and tidied his appearance, Gu Yuan looked at the red Lingshan Mountain in the distance, put his hands behind his back, and said lightly.

"I?"

Yuan Chengfu had just come to his senses, and when he heard this, he immediately suspected that he had heard it wrong.

I am just a small follower who has just established his foundation, and you want me to deal with a giant eagle that is in the late stage of the great demon. Isn't this a joke?
That's a big monster comparable to the late Jindan stage!

"Compared to the Golden Core Tribulation, a mere monster is nothing. Go and cultivate some courage!"

Gu Yuan was calm when he heard this, and just gave the order lightly.

This child has received very little care and has not yet developed an arrogant character. He needs to cultivate some of this so that he can overcome the tribulation.

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and sent out his sword ball, which landed in Yuan Chengfu's hand.

"Use my sword to test the methods of this monster!"

As soon as the sword ball was in hand, the surging sword energy surged like waves, making Yuan Chengfu tremble with fear.

But an unprecedented sense of confidence also surged into my heart like a tide.

He took a deep breath, dropped his escape light, and flew straight towards the Chilan Mountain.

"Um?!"

"Where did this human cultivator come from? Are you tired of living?"

On the Chilan Mountain, a surge of demonic thoughts immediately emerged, accompanied by a sneer of disdain.

But Yuan Chengfu did not answer, he just urged the sword ball and gently poked it at the mountain protection formation in front of him.

"boom!"

The third-level magic circle that could withstand the attacks of several Jindan monks exploded immediately, like an egg pierced by a sharp knife.

"what?!"

Suddenly, an extremely shocked voice was heard in Chilan Mountain.

But Yuan Chengfu had already raised his sword, his face flushed, and he shouted loudly, slashing at the giant eagle that was much stronger than himself.
