I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 378 Jiuyi Haiyuan, the mysterious turtle in the well!
The coast of the East China Sea.

Long Whale Gang.

This gang controls more than 10,000 miles of territory along the East China Sea and is the overlord of the area.

However, this gang does not commit any crimes, but makes its living from "shipping".

However, this shipping is not river shipping, but sea shipping.

The most difficult shipping in this world is sea transportation!

And the East China Sea shipping is the most dreaded shipping, without a doubt.

Because there is a Dragon Court in the East China Sea!
In the Dragon Court resides the most powerful force in the world. Even though this force has dissipated, the power left behind is still enough to suppress the world.

However, the distance "transported" by the Changjing Gang is only 100,000 miles off the coast of the East China Sea. It is more than billions of miles away from the Dragon Court. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are two different worlds apart.

But even with such a long distance, ordinary people dare not act recklessly in the East China Sea.

The boundaries and authority of the sea and land cannot be touched by ordinary people.

Although the entire coast of the East China Sea is rich in spiritual energy, for tens of thousands of years, no major human sect has been established here.

Danger, too dangerous.

It is because the situation has changed so drastically that so many speculators have flocked to this coastal area in search of opportunities.

The Changjing Gang, relying on their "sea demon" bloodline, gained a firm foothold here, made their fortune from "shipping", and gradually grew stronger.

"Let's set sail!"

At this moment, an enormous treasure ship, under the protection of three giant whales, hoisted its huge spiritual sails, broke through the waves, and headed towards the endless East China Sea.

"Senior, the map of the 100,000-mile area of ​​the East China Sea is all here. Please take a look!"

At this time, in the box on the top floor of the treasure boat, an old man with green complexion and in the early stage of the Golden Elixir stage respectfully presented a jade slip and spoke to a handsome Taoist priest at the top.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

Gu Yuan smiled slightly, thanked him, and took out a storage bag.

"Senior, you are too polite. This journey will take another ten days. We will stop at several islands along the way. On these islands are some sea monsters and half-monsters who are close to humans. They have many treasures of the sea race. If you are interested, you can get off the boat and take a look."

The old man got the storage bag, feeling slightly happy, and gave another respectful reminder.

"Thanks for letting me know."

"Then I won't bother you, Senior!"

Seeing this, the old man bowed and then said goodbye and left.

Then, Gu Yuan was the only one left in the box. He picked up the jade slip, scanned it with his mind, read the map inside, and then showed a thoughtful look.

"One hundred and eight palaces in the East China Sea..."

Ten days ago, after helping Yuan Chengfu kill the giant eagle that split the sky and seize the red-blooded golden wood, Gu Yuan did not stay any longer, but used the rainbow transformation method and headed directly to the coast of the East China Sea.

Originally, he wanted to turn into a rainbow and fly into the sea, and use the map to look for the opportunity.

But before he entered the East China Sea, he felt the vast and majestic aura in the distance. He immediately stopped and boarded the treasure ship of the Changjing Gang, preparing to collect intelligence first and then search for treasure.

"The Dragon Court is austere and powerful, and it overwhelms the East China Sea. It really is true..."

Gu Yuan put down the jade slip and sighed slightly.

This jade slip not only recorded the map of the surrounding area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, but also provided a detailed introduction to the structure of the East China Sea. It was more recent than the classics he had seen in the Taoist temple.

The vastness of the East China Sea is incalculable, the boundless ocean stretches for billions of miles.

Even a million miles of territory is just the near sea for the East China Sea.

In addition to the Dragon Court that suppresses everything in the East China Sea, there are 108 subordinate palaces, which enfeoff 108 powerful monster warriors to rule the ocean.

Each of these 108 palaces has an extremely terrifying "Sea and Sky Restriction" that separates heaven and earth. If human cultivators want to enter the Dragon Court, they have to pass through the 108 restrictions before they can enter.

It is difficult to reach the sky.

The nearest demon palace to the East China Sea is located in the sea six million miles away. It is said that there is a sixth-level demon inside, which is as terrifying as a heavenly spirit realm.

Although there is no Demon Palace in charge of this six million mile coastal waters, there are large and small demon forces that control the ocean.

The smaller ones are at the level of big monsters, while the more powerful ones are the forces of the monster king. It is said that there are fifth-level monsters in the deep sea near the Monster Palace.

The demons are fighting each other, and in recent years human forces have mixed in, making the situation even more complicated.

The Changjing Gang relied on the "Black Whale Half-Demon Bloodline" and managed to manage the relationships in this 100,000-mile area. This is how they were able to do the shipping business, otherwise they couldn't make a living from it.

The East China Sea is different from other places. The spiritual energy of the sea veins is extremely rich. There are many intelligent sea monsters in the sea, and it is very easy for them to become spirits. Therefore, little monsters appear almost endlessly. If you don't manage the relationship well, they will harass you every day and you will be annoyed to death.

"It is both a blessed land and a sea of ​​immortals, and also a dangerous restricted area..."

Gu Yuan walked to the window, looked at the vast blue sea where the sea and sky merged into one, and sighed again.

A great cultivator in the late Jindan stage may still be able to travel around in the Dongshan area, but if he is placed in the depths of the East China Sea, he will be just so-so.

The third level of cultivation is just the starting point!
"Haha, sir, the cakes from the Changjing Gang are really good. They seem to be made from the fat of a third-tier spiritual fish. They smell so good, and they can also increase spiritual power!"

Gu Yuan's heart was in turmoil, and on the table in the box, a palm-sized golden eagle demon was holding a piece of crystal-clear pastry in its mouth, with a look of surprise in its eyes.

Hearing the "remarks" of the heart-eating worm, Gu Yuan shook his head helplessly.

He has raised this insect for too long, and it has been going smoothly all the time. It is about to be ruined. It is time to think of a way to train it.

……

……

The treasure boat of the Changjing Gang is extremely fast, riding the wind and waves, and traveling thousands of miles a day.

Passing many islands along the way, a large number of merchants disembarked from the treasure boat, made their own purchases, and prepared to return to the mainland to sell and make a profit from the difference.

In addition, the East China Sea is rich in spiritual energy, the sea and the sky are one color, and the scenery is beautiful, so the treasure boat is always very lively.

However, all this has little to do with Gu Yuan.

On the seventh day, when the treasure boat was sailing to an island called "Xieshan Island", a ray of light quietly swept out from the boat, headed towards the east, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

……

……

"According to the map, this should be the place..."

A few hours later, a ray of light stopped in the sky above a secluded and uninhabited sea area, revealing Gu Yuan's figure.

He looked around and saw only the vast ocean without even an island. Not only that, the spiritual energy here was thin, and there seemed to be no spiritual veins on the seabed. Apart from a few ordinary fish, the vast sea was empty.

Although the East China Sea is vast, its spiritual energy varies in quality.

The more prosperous the spiritual veins in the seabed, the more monsters there are, and the more prosperous it is. Otherwise, it will be empty.

This place is clearly the latter.

"The map and the scripture are both here, but nothing unusual is happening. Why is that?"

Gu Yuan looked at the empty sea and frowned slightly.

This place is barren and there is only sea water. Where is the opportunity?
"A golden rainbow sweeps across the sky, and there will be a chance to enter your arms?"

Seeing nothing unusual, Gu Yuan was reminded of the motto left by Yuan Chengfu's family.

"boom!"

When he thought of this, Gu Yuan did not hesitate. He mobilized his magic power and practiced the "Tianhong Sutra" with all his strength. Not only that, in his dantian, a magic seal that was flashing with golden light and carrying a rosy glow suddenly trembled.

Xingtian Seal!
This seal is a secret seal recorded in the "Tianhong Sutra", and it best suits Tianhong's body. Once it is activated, it is like the sun moving across the sky, traveling thousands of miles at an incredible speed.

It's just that the consumption of mana is extremely huge, and it can drain the mana of a Jindan cultivator in an instant. But it's really fast.

At this moment, Gu Yuan's magic power surged like a tide, his body turned into a rainbow, his magic seal trembled, and an inexplicable feeling suddenly surged into his heart.

"I see!"

He turned into a rainbow of light, but his mind perception was not lost. He immediately sensed that there was a mysterious "passage" at the junction of the sea and the sky ahead.

I don't know what kind of restrictions have been placed on this "channel". It can only be sensed by activating the Tianhong Sutra and Xingtian Seal with all one's strength.

"Shh!"

Gu Yuan did not hesitate, and his magic power poured into the Xingtian Seal like a tide.

The next moment, he shot out like a ray of light in an instant, his speed so fast that it was beyond the perception of a Jindan cultivator.

A golden rainbow swept across the sky and Gu Yuan disappeared instantly.

It was a real disappearance, not an extremely fast disappearance beyond human sight, but it just disappeared directly in this world.

When he was flying through the air at an extremely fast speed and activating the Xingtian Seal, an immense force suddenly surged out from the "channel", directly wrapping up Gu Yuan and taking him away from this world.

In other words, Gu Yuan flew through the air at an extremely fast speed, directly passed through this "passage" and arrived at another space.

……

……

The waves are surging and the sea and sky are one color.

A crescent-shaped island stands in the waves. In the island, there is a green palace. On the plaque of the palace, four large characters are written: Jiuyi Haiyuan.

The palace is simple and magnificent, supported by nine huge pillars, on which are engraved yin and yang water and fire patterns. The tiles are made of gold, jade and colored glaze, and there seems to be a layer of golden light flowing around, which is very beautiful.

There is spiritual energy flowing in the hall and the formation is blessing it. Thousands of years have passed, but the hall is still as clean as new.

But after all, it lost some of its popularity and became like the residence of ghosts and gods.

Suddenly, a golden rainbow passed over the sky above the palace, crossed the space, and headed straight towards the golden tiles of the palace.

The speed of this golden rainbow was extremely fast. Although there was a formation protecting the sky above the palace, it was just an ordinary formation that prevented the palace from collapsing. It was already difficult to maintain it over the years, so how could it withstand such a rapid impact from the golden rainbow?

"Shh!"

At this moment, the space seemed to stagnate, and the golden rainbow suddenly stopped from its extremely fast speed in an instant.

It stopped steadily in front of the golden tiles of the temple.

"Jiuyi Sea Courtyard?"

The golden rainbow turned from virtual to real, revealing Gu Yuan's figure.

He slowly descended and stopped in front of the gate of Jiuyi Haiyuan. He looked at the plaque above his head and then at the sky above his head with a look of surprise.

"This is... the Xuanhuang Secret Realm?"

There are many secret realms in the world, but most of them belong to a unique world and are not connected to the Xuanhuang world. Only specific anchor points can break through the void and enter the secret realm.

But some secret realms are connected to the Xuanhuang World.

If the Xuanhuang World is a smooth and huge sphere, then the ordinary secret realms are bubbles suspended outside this sphere, connected to the Xuanhuang World by "special lines".

The Xuanhuang Secret Realm is a bulge on the sphere, with an extra space on the originally smooth sphere.

The Xuanhuang Secret Realm is itself a part of the Xuanhuang World, and as such it is real and true. The seas, mountains, rivers, sky and sunshine are all one. The only difference is that it is extremely secretive and it is impossible to enter without secret methods.

Generally speaking, this kind of secret place has a name.

Heaven and earth!

Most of these secret realms are born from the Xuanhuang World, so the abundance of spiritual veins is simply incomparable to that of ordinary secret realms. In these secret realms, cultivators can practice all the way to death without worrying about the depletion of spiritual energy.

However, not all Xuanhuang secret realms have extremely abundant spiritual energy and can be called blessed places.

The Jiuyi Sea Courtyard before us has thin spiritual energy and is not a blessed place.

What Gu Yuan didn’t expect was that Mount Jiuyi was actually above the East China Sea and hid such a good place.

"This forbidden passage..."

He looked up at the sky again, feeling the power of the golden rainbow that had just enveloped him, his face slightly solemn.

The power that hides this Xuanhuang Secret Realm is extremely high, and it gives Gu Yuan the feeling that he has surpassed the Daotai Realm.

But if Mount Jiuyi had such strength back then, why did it fall to the hands of the Tianyao Sect?
After fruitless thinking, Gu Yuan waved his sleeves and pushed open the door of the palace with a gentle force.

The formation of this temple is only to protect the temple, not to defend against enemies, so as long as one can enter the secret realm, they can enter the temple at will.

"Squeak!"

The door of the palace was wide open, thin spiritual energy was flowing, and rays of golden light lit up, making the palace, which had been dim for thousands of years, as bright as day.

In front of the magnificent hall, there stood a gigantic statue of a white dragon, with distinct scales and claws, looking lifelike, with twinkling spiritual patterns on it, as if it would come alive at any moment.

But Gu Yuan was slightly stunned.

"Is this... an offering?"

Under the white dragon statue, there are incense sticks burning. This is the oil refined from giant whales in the sea. It has been burning for thousands of years and has never gone out. Even after thousands of years, the flames are still flickering.

"A white dragon statue. Jiuyi Sect actually worships the dragon race in this sea courtyard?"

Gu Yuan couldn't help but be surprised.

It is extremely unacceptable for the human race to worship the dragon race.

If it had happened during the heyday of the Heavenly Palace, it would have been struck to ashes by thunder in an instant.

However, during the time of Jiuyi Sect, the Heavenly Palace was no longer outside the Central Plains of China. This may be the reason why Jiuyi Sect dared to do so.

But why does the Jiuyi Sect worship the dragon clan?

Where is the opportunity that I am looking for?
The light spot of opportunity on the stone book of Tianhong Sutra was extremely vague and its location was not determined, so Gu Yuan did not know where this opportunity would be.

His mind surged and his steps never stopped. He soon passed through the hall, passed the statue, and came to the back of the hall.

There is a bamboo pavilion behind the hall, and under the pavilion is a stone well. The well is dry and there is no water flowing.

Apart from this, there was nothing else behind the palace.

Gu Yuan couldn't help but frown, somewhat puzzled.

"Crash!"

But at this moment, there was a sound of rushing water suddenly coming from the dry well. In the blink of an eye, the water overflowed from the originally dry well and wet the well wall.

This is not ordinary well water, but sea water, with a salty and humid smell.

Just as Gu Yuan was surprised, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the well, seemed to cross the space, and floated up with the sea water.

The shadow was filled with demonic energy, and its aura was extremely strong. Gu Yuan was alert and immediately grasped the sword pill.

"what!"

"I never thought that someone would be able to master the Xingtian Seal. It seems that the Jiuyi Sect has not really been destroyed!"

Along with this surprised voice, the shadow revealed its true form. It was actually a black tortoise with black demonic patterns all over its shell. Its eyes were like deep pools, emitting an unfathomable aura.

A black sea turtle at the peak of its power as a great demon!

The evil spirit was the most intense he had ever seen in his life!
