I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 406: Duxu Palace, pale golden opportunity!
"Real person!"

Seeing Gu Yuan show up, several people hurriedly bowed to greet him.

"No need to be polite, just get up!"

Gu Yuan waved his sleeves and helped several people up.

Several people stood up, glanced at Gu Yuan quietly, and then looked at each other, with shock in their eyes.

After not seeing each other for several months, Gu Yuan's aura became more and more profound. Just standing there, he had a feeling of being as deep and majestic as a mountain, yet he was also ethereal and otherworldly, as if he could fly away with the wind at any time.

Although they were unable to detect Gu Yuan's cultivation level, they had a vague feeling that Gu Yuan's cultivation seemed to have advanced one step further.

How long has it been...

Master Ziyun and Bai Xuyang were both shocked and moved.

All this is certainly inseparable from Gu Yuan’s talent, but they also know that the many treasures of Yaoyuan Mountain must have contributed to this.

Unfortunately, without a Dao fetus, he is simply unable to roam freely in the Yaoyuan Mountain.

One step at a time, one step at a time.

The two could only suppress the distracting thoughts in their hearts.

"Refining this treasure is a hard job. You are willing to do it..."

Gu Yuan naturally sensed what the two were thinking, but he just chuckled and didn't pay much attention to it.

However, the bottom line of distinguishing between gratitude and resentment must still be observed.

Even though this divine robe for warding off thoughts is a natural thing, in order to refine it into the robe, one needs magical power and elixir fire, and polishes it bit by bit, which is extremely hard work. In the past few months, several people have probably worked day and night, and all their time has been spent on this thing.

This hard work still needs to be rewarded.

"It is our blessing to be able to serve the real person!"

This is what Master Ziyun and Bai Xuyang thought in their hearts, but they could not show it on their faces. They immediately bowed and did not dare to take credit.

"I won't let you work in vain, but there is no rush. The most urgent task is to go to [Duxu Mountain] and occupy this peak first!"

Gu Yuan looked into the distance, towards the center of Yaoyuan Mountain.

Duxu Mountain is the most central sacred mountain among the continuous mountains of Yaoyuan Mountain. It can be reached quickly from any direction, so the disciples of Guangxu Academy built a [Duxu Palace] on this mountain to enter and exit the secret realm of Yaoyuan Mountain and go to other areas.

Yesterday, Gu Yuan followed Shi Ye's instructions and took advantage of all the opportunities he had missed before. He also went to this hall to take a look.

This palace is guarded by an array formation, which has remained unchanged for tens of millions of years. The "ability to cross the void" has not disappeared and can still be used. It's just that because the secret realm was cut into three parts and the void changed, some inexplicable changes occurred in the array formation.

Gu Yuan estimated that the direction of transmission might be deviated.

However, there had already been signs of this happening in the blood bat's memory, so Gu Yuan was not surprised.

Although Yaoyuan Mountain is nice, it is not the real big world after all. It is impossible to stay here for long. We must find an opportunity to leave.

However, Gu Yuan was still somewhat unwilling to leave like this.

So he still needs the help of Master Ziyun and others.

"Duxu Mountain, is there any way to leave this place?"

Hearing what Gu Yuan said at this moment, Qin Yun showed a look of surprise.

Although this mountain is beautiful, it has little to do with them. She has long wanted to leave this place and return to Guanghan Palace.

After all, only by returning to Guanghan Palace would she have a greater chance of breaking through to the Daotai stage.

Master Ziyun and Bai Xuyang also looked up with joy.

They wanted to leave too.

"Yes, I have already explored this palace. The main body of the formation is not damaged. It only needs a little repair before it can be used again. However, the transmission location may be moved. You must be mentally prepared."

Gu Yuan said softly.

"It would be a great blessing to be able to leave this place!"

"That's right, as long as it's not teleported directly to the Demon Palace Dragon Court, anywhere is fine!"

Master Zi Yu and Bai Xuyang spoke one after another.

Yaoyuan Mountain may seem like a blessed land, but in essence, it is a "cage" created by nature. It is a place for raising ferocious beasts and spiritual materials. Being trapped here for a long time may cause mental imbalance and inner demon disorder.

It is definitely not a place for real long-term practice.

"In this case, without further delay, I will lead you to this mountain. I will need your help in repairing the Transcendence Formation..."

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, then waved his sleeves, wrapping up the people and the monster, and then turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the night.

……

……

Cross Xu Mountain.

This mountain is square and looks like a huge seal sitting on the earth.

The vast fog covered the sky and the sun, enveloping the entire mountain within a radius of hundreds of miles.

In the thick fog, the five senses are blocked. Even a fourth-level ferocious beast will lose its way here, like a headless fly, and then be thrown out by a huge force.

Over time, this place has become a restricted area, and no ferocious beasts have ever set foot here.

But today, several figures appeared in the thick fog.

The leader was a man wearing a green Taoist robe, a wooden hairpin on his head, and fluttering sleeves. His facial features were as if carved by a knife or an axe, and he was extraordinarily handsome, like a god.

His eyes were bright as he wandered in the fog, strolling leisurely, unaffected by the slightest bit.

In his palm, a thin thread made of magic power held the two men and one woman behind him.

These two men and one woman all have strong auras and are at the peak of the Golden Core stage. They would be influential figures in the Dongshan Region, but now their eyes are confused and they are ignorant. They are just being led forward by Gu Yuan like chickens.

There is nothing we can do about this.

There is a formation guarding Duxu Mountain, which was originally designed to prevent ferocious beasts from entering. If a disciple of Guangxu Branch holds a token, the clouds and mist will naturally part and lead him into the temple.

But Gu Yuan and others didn't have tokens, so they could only break through the formation.

But Gu Yuan didn't want to destroy the formation, so he led a few people to slowly pass through the center of the formation and enter Duxu Mountain in this way.

Fortunately, they walked very quickly and soon the fog dissipated, revealing the square sacred mountain in front of them. On the top of the mountain, there was a palace shining with silver light, which looked even more majestic under the moonlight.

"call!"

"What a powerful formation!"

After leaving the spiritual mist, Qin Yun and the others' five senses were immediately restored, and the vision became clear again. Recalling the state just now when they were completely unaware and everything was dark, they still felt a lingering fear.

That feeling of losing all senses is terrible.

"Unfortunately, after so long, the formation has been damaged. It can only stop the fourth-level beasts. If the fifth-level beasts force their way in, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop them..."

And Gu Yuan did let out a light sigh, as if he was somewhat dissatisfied with the power of the formation.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun and the others were stunned, seemingly unable to understand.

But in a flash, Master Ziyun looked thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.

Gu Yuan did not explain much and led a few people to the Duxu Palace on the top of the mountain quickly.

……

……

There are 108 pillars in the Duxu Palace, and each of them is engraved with dense array patterns, shining brightly and making people dizzy.

However, perhaps because it had been too long, the light of many array patterns was uncertain and extremely dim, and some were directly annihilated without any luster.

And in the center of the temple, there is a silver stone tablet.

Countless dots flickered on the monument, densely packed like a galaxy of stars.

Stone tablet star map!

There are three huge "star eyes" on the star map, which are very conspicuous. One of the "star eyes" is located in the northernmost part. At first glance, it looks like the eye of a flying phoenix.

The second "star eye" was located in the center of the entire star map, like the heart of heaven and earth, exactly the same. However, one of the two "star eyes" had already dimmed and completely lost all its luster, even the tiny star points in the northern star map were completely annihilated.

As for the "star eye" in the center, it cracked directly.

There is only one "star eye" in the east, flickering with a faint light, and the stars in the sky are also twinkling, revealing a hint of spiritual light.

"Could this be... the Four Regions Star Map?"

"No, no, this central star point, could it be the Middle Earth Shenzhou?!"

Qin Yun said in shock as she looked at the star map on the stone tablet.

The Duxu formation that spans across four regions also includes the Central Plains?
What a luxurious formation this is?
You know, teleporting across a large domain is not easy. With each additional large domain, the demand for formations and spiritual energy increases exponentially.

An ordinary fourth-level sect can span one domain, and a fifth-level sect can only span two domains.

Especially the Central Plains of China, which is vast and boundless, larger than the four regions combined. The demand for formations and spiritual energy in this place alone is something that even a sixth-level sect may not be able to handle.

"The origin of this Yaoyuan Mountain is probably more powerful than I imagined."

"It's a pity that teleportation to the Middle-earth Shenzhou has long been impossible. If you want to enter Shenzhou, you can only cross the long Tongtian River. This river is so wide that even birds can hardly cross it..."

After being shocked, Qin Yun shook her head slightly, revealing a look of regret.

Master Ziyun and Bai Xuyang also sighed.

It would be great if there really was a formation that could teleport directly to the Central Plains.

The vast Middle Earth, the land of immortals and gods, is vast and boundless, the ancestor of all mountains.

It's just a pity that in the Central Plains of China, there has been a ban on all kinds of power falling from the sky since thousands of years ago, and all methods of teleportation are useless.

If you want to go to Shenzhou, you have to take a treasure ship and cross the Tongtian River to reach the Middle-earth.

The river is so wide that even a fourth-level treasure ship would probably take decades to cross it.

It is an unimaginable river in the world.

Not to mention the elves and water monsters along the way.

It is extremely difficult to set foot in China, and this is why there is very little communication between the four regions and Middle-earth.

I thought there would be surprises in this star monument, but now it seems ridiculous. What power in the world can match the might of the Heavenly Palace?

Gu Yuan was a little indifferent.

After all, he had been here once and already knew something about the star monument.

Although it is regrettable, I have already accepted it.

"For now, the only solution is the last Star Eye in the east that can be used for teleportation. However, for some reason, this Star Eye has moved slightly."

"I am not practicing the Star Technique. Although I have some understanding of the Star Technique, I cannot calculate the location of this place..."

Gu Yuan looked at the last star eye and sighed.

Calculating directions using star maps is an essential skill for those who practice spiritual cultivation.

However, this star monument is too obscure, far beyond Gu Yuan's realm, and the drawing technique is difficult to understand, so there is no way to deduce it at all.

"It's just the Dongshan area, or the East Sea area. It shouldn't be too far away..."

Qin Yun said with relief.

Although a few people felt helpless, they could only accept it since things had come to this point.

"This formation has been in use for too long. Even with the support of the underground spiritual vein, it has suffered some damage. But I have found a [Xu Chen Mine]. You only need to use Dan Fire to refine the Xu Chen Essence in the ore. You should be able to repair the formation and re-activate it!"

Gu Yuan waved his sleeves, and large pieces of silver ore fell from the hall with a clang. In each piece of ore, there was a subtle force of the void lingering.

"The master has already made preparations, we just need to do some hard work!"

Seeing this, Master Ziyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As a casual cultivator, he was proficient in refining equipment and pills. As soon as he entered the hall, he realized the extraordinaryness of this formation. It was simply not something they could handle, not even the Daotai.

But fortunately, the main body of the formation was not damaged, only the formation pattern was worn out. It only needs to be copied again with the "Void Spirit Essence".

However, things in the void are extremely precious, and just copying them would require a huge amount of effort. He was secretly worried about this, but he didn't expect that Gu Yuan had already arranged everything.

"To be honest, this Yaoyuan Mountain is too rich."

Gu Yuan smiled slightly.

If it were in the outside world, it would be difficult to find the [Xu Chen Mine], but he had this thing in the opportunity of stone liquid detection, so he didn't need to spend much effort.

"Repairing the formation does not require any sophisticated techniques, but it requires carefulness. However, you have practiced so much so that I don't need to say more. I have other things to do, so you should prepare well. After a month, I will come to preside over the formation and take you away."

Gu Yuan looked around at the few people and gave them a warning.

"Yes, real person!"

Several people nodded in unison and responded solemnly.

"Lazy guy, come out and work!"

Then Gu Yuan waved his sleeves, threw out the heart-eating insect that had been hidden in his sleeves to pass through the formation, and scolded.

The heart-eating worm could only pick up the ore in a depressed mood, spew out fire, and smelt the "Void Spirit Essence".

After Gu Yuan gave a few instructions, his figure turned into a ray of light and disappeared on the spot.

A Jindan cultivator, who could live for a thousand years, did not need too many instructions from him.

……

……

Yushou Mountain.

Further north of this mountain is the territory of the fifth-level ferocious beast.

Gu Yuan had originally left the mountain after getting the chance to ask about the Dao Tree, but today, as the sunset glowed, he returned to the mountain.

He has already obtained most of the opportunities in Yaoyuan Mountain, except for the territory of the fifth-level ferocious beasts in the northern boundary, which he has not yet explored.

There must be extraordinary treasures in this place!
Gu Yuan wants to make a fortune!
However, he did not go there directly, but opened up a cave in Yushou Mountain, set up restrictions, and sat cross-legged.

"Whether to fight or not, you have to take a look before you can make a decision..."

Reaching out his hand, Gu Yuan took out the stone bottle.

If there is an opportunity, work hard; if there is no opportunity, go home and sleep.

He is a man with rare treasures.

"boom!"

The sky was spinning, the stars were flowing, and the world turned into gray lines again.

Gu Yuan raised his eyes and looked away. In the sacred mountain in the distance that was obscured by countless ancient trees, there were densely packed spots of light. The majority were white, and there were more than ten green spots as well.

He suddenly felt a little happy.

It is worthy of being the place where fifth-level ferocious beasts reside.

But this was not what he wanted most.

He looked again to see if there was any silver or even golden light flashing among the vast array of lights.

He was not disappointed.

Between the mountains and among the ancient trees, a spot of light flashing with a thin golden glow caught Gu Yuan's eyes.

This spot of light is made of pure silver, with only tiny flashes of golden light.

But it was indeed golden light without a doubt.

Gu Yuan was suddenly overjoyed, and without any hesitation, he focused his mind on it and began to investigate.

But this time, no picture came, just like before the stone liquid evolved, only a vague message fell into his heart.

"Body, Dharma..."
