I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 516: Strange Statue, the Drama Begins

The void is rippling, and ripples are appearing.

A green pagoda stands in the void, covering the entire sky.

This is a fifth-level real weapon that has the ability to open up "space" and capture enemy cultivators.

Gu Yuan could not find any trace of people above Snake Valley before, precisely because the Gold and Silver Guards of the Law Enforcement Hall were forcibly taken in by this tower.

But now, relying on his innate body and the eyes that could see through delusion, Gu Yuan slashed through the "void" with one sword, shattered the space opened up by this real weapon, and revealed everything inside.

Under the green pagoda, there were four monks standing on both sides, and a fierce battle broke out.

A young man with flying black hair and wearing a black robe was suspended in the void, with a huge black dragon shadow condensing behind him. The hot flames from the black dragon's mouth were like star fire, falling continuously and blasting forward.

In front of us, a painting of giant mountains is unfolding, with Taoist rhythm flowing on it, revealing an aura that suppresses the heaven and earth.

But at this moment, the scroll was on the verge of breaking, and the three middle-aged monks below were struggling to hold on.

The middle-aged cultivator in the lead was actually in the late Yuanxiang stage and had profound magical powers, while the remaining two were only at the Daotai stage.

At this moment, the three of them were trying their best to continuously pour their magic power into the scroll, stimulating the phantoms of the mountains to block the opponent's star fire.

But the star fire spewed out from the dragon's mouth, with such power that it had the strength to burn mountains and boil seas. The scroll shattered and melted bit by bit, and it was difficult to stop it.

The middle-aged monk who was in the lead had blood oozing from the corners of his mouth and his hair had turned half white. It was obvious that he had already used the method of risking his life, but it could only slightly delay the time of death.

"boom!!"

The star fire continued to fall, and Baojuan let out a wail, as if it had reached its limit.

But Gu Yuan broke the void, bringing a slight change to the battle situation.

"Fellow Daoist, I am a Golden Guardian under the Law Enforcement Hall of Linchuan Dao. If you lend me a helping hand, I will definitely give you a generous gift afterwards!"

The middle-aged monk under the scroll looked up at the sky and couldn't help but cry out for help.

"Just because he wants to save people?!"

The black-haired young man took a quick look with his mind and realized that Gu Yuan was in the middle stage of Yuanxiang. He snorted with disdain and waved his sleeves. A green ring flew out and landed on the green pagoda.

"Buzz!"

With the help of the ring, the green pagoda suddenly hummed loudly, and the void trembled. An even more powerful "capturing" force suddenly emerged, like a pair of invisible big hands, "capturing" Gu Yuan into this green space.

The pagoda rotated and shone with divine light, like a huge "bubble" that enveloped the few people and made it difficult for the outside world to detect it.

It is a natural "killing place".

"Bury him together with Linchuan Daomai!"

After the black-haired young man "captured" Gu Yuan, he stretched out his hand and a black seal whizzed out.

The black seal suddenly exploded while still in the air, like flowers scattered by a fairy, breaking into countless black fireballs and covering Gu Yuan.

Each fireball was surrounded by black flames. No one knew what kind of spiritual fire this flame was, but it was so hot that it made people's heart palpitate. It seemed that if one touched it even a little, it would never dissipate, like a cancer attached to the bone.

"Fellow Daoist, be careful! This is the Soul Poison Star Fire. It is extremely hot and can burn the soul. Do not let it touch you!"

Seeing this, the middle-aged monk in the distance shouted hurriedly.

Although the person in front of him is only in the middle stage of Yuanxiang cultivation, the situation is so critical now. The more strength we can get, the more opportunities we have, and we must not let it go.

"The Poison Soul Spark is really good, and quite mysterious..."

"But this fire alone should not be enough to kill your master. What other means do you have? Why not use them all? Let me see how you have the confidence to ambush my Linchuan Daoist people!"

Seeing this, Gu Yuan just put his hands behind his back and smiled faintly.

Without any movement from him, countless golden lightning bolts appeared out of nowhere in the void.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Thunder roared, and in an instant, all the incoming black fireballs exploded.

The so-called poisonous soul spark was like a small flame emitted by a Qi-refining cultivator. It was completely annihilated before it could even light up.

This scene made several people in the blue space change color.

The middle-aged monk's face suddenly turned rosy, his whole body was shocked, and his eyes regained their brilliance.

It turned out to be the support from Daomai!

He must be an expert. We are saved!
The black-haired young man had a serious expression on his face.

Although he ambushed several people from the Linchuan Daomai Law Enforcement Hall, it was because he had already known the strength of several people in the Black Mountain. He had been planning for a long time and was very confident.

Now an unknown person suddenly appeared and easily destroyed his poisonous soul spark. How could he not be frightened?
After all, the Linchuan Taoist sect is not an ordinary sect.

"What about the Linchuan Daomai?"

"I killed Linchuan Daomai!"

Although he was a little panicked in his heart, Shen Qiaosheng did not admit defeat and his hands moved incredibly quickly.

"Spark of Destruction Seal!"

He shouted softly, and a red and black magic seal suddenly flowed out, and then the sky became dark.

In the darkness, it seemed as if a star flickered for a moment, and then a huge ball of black flame, like a meteor, suddenly blasted towards Gu Yuan from the sky.

The void twisted and the pagoda trembled. This was an extremely terrifying and hot firepower, containing a trace of real star fire, and it was terrifying and boundless.

But in Gu Yuan's eyes, it was nothing special.

Those who don't practice immortality, don't have a superb physique, and don't have top-notch magic skills are all ordinary in his eyes.

"boom!"

Just one look at the fireball above his head, and golden thunder emerged from the void, destroying it directly with the power to destroy the world.

"what?!"

When Shen Qiaosheng saw this, he was shocked.

Summoning thunder at will, without even using a seal, who is this person? !

"Are you a disciple of Linchuan Shangmai?!"

Shen Qiaosheng's heart sank and he couldn't help but ask.

"A disciple of the upper meridian?"

Gu Yuan sneered when he heard this, and then said, "Well, if these are the only means you have, then let's end it."

With his current level of cultivation, he is naturally qualified to look down upon these disciples from small sects.

He had not taken action until now because he wanted to see this man's strength and strategy. If that was all he had, he would not melt it into his life core.

There are only three chances, so we must find good ones, otherwise wouldn’t it be a waste of the magic of the Nascent Soul Fruit?

"Finish?"

"What an arrogant tone! So what about the Linchuan Dao Sect? In the vast Shenzhou, you are not the only one who has the immortal magic scriptures!"

These words seemed to hurt Shen Qiaosheng's heart. His face suddenly became angry and bloodshot appeared in his eyes.

"Roar!"

He roared angrily, and a shrill "roar" came from his dantian, which did not sound like a human voice.

Along with this roar, his whole body suddenly grew larger, black scales appeared on his skin, and bone spurs protruded hideously on his back.

"Tear!"

Not only that, a pair of huge flesh wings tore open the skin on his back, spreading scarlet blood.

His hair turned blood red, and powerful energy and blood rushed up into the sky like billowing wolf smoke.

Not only that, the magic power in his body also suddenly became thicker, as if it had changed from clear water to mercury, each grain was round, and its quality suddenly increased several times.

"Tear!"

In just a moment, Shen Qiaosheng's physical strength increased countless times, and he directly transformed into a winged demon-like form.

Perhaps because of his strong body, his confidence soared. He flapped his wings and flew across the air in a flash. His right palm turned into a sharp red claw and grabbed Gu Yuan's face with a strong bloody smell.

"Shh!"

After he transformed, his speed was so fast that the void was torn apart, it was so fast that it was unimaginable.

This is also the strength of the strength monks and ordinary big monsters. Once the physical body is strong, it can launch continuous attacks, and as fast as lightning, making it difficult for the magic monks to resist. "Bang!"

But just as his sharp claws were about to hit Gu Yuan's face, a white hand arrived first and grabbed his wrist.

"Um?!"

Shen Qiaosheng tried his best to twitch, but that seemingly thin and weak hand contained the power to hold up the sky. No matter how he struggled, that hand did not move at all.

Not only that, through that palm, he felt an indescribable terrifying magical power surging in the other person's body like an ocean.

The enormous amount of magic power he possessed after his transformation was nothing compared to this force.

"Is this the immortal scripture you practiced?"

Gu Yuan looked at the strange creature in front of him that looked neither human nor monster, and couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"how so?!"

"I practiced the Scripture of the Immortal Demon Gods and Gods that Suppress the Prison. My physical strength is comparable to that of a fifth-order late-stage demon. My magical power is as vast as the sea. I also sacrificed more than a dozen disciples of the Linchuan Dao School. How could this be possible?!"

"who are you?!"

"How could someone like you come out to hunt down someone from a small clan like me!"

Being captured by a single palm, Shen Qiaosheng immediately realized the unfathomable gap between himself and the person in front of him, and could not help but roar in anger.

This was not the first time he had fought against the cultivators of the Linchuan Taoist School. Such a person was definitely a top figure among the Linchuan Taoist School!

"Zheng!"

But he was destined not to get the answer to this question.

Although this person used the transformation of the Immortal Scripture and his strength increased greatly, he was still mediocre in front of Gu Yuan.

His mind moved, and the Xuantian sword ball flashed in an instant and attacked directly at the man's forehead.

"Prison Seal!"

Shen Qiaosheng was panicked, but did not give up hope. A seal engraved with countless Shura figures flowed out and appeared above his head with scarlet blood, trying to block the attack.

"boom!"

But above the sword ball, endless sword energy gushed out, mixed with golden thunder, which was extremely masculine and powerful, and extremely terrifying.

It pierced through the seal in just a moment, and the remaining force pierced through Shen Qiaosheng's forehead as he stared in disbelief.

However, Gu Yuan restrained his sword energy and only pierced his forehead without crushing his head. With the powerful blood and energy of the opponent's transformation into a demon body, he was only seriously injured but not dead.

Shen Qiaosheng's whole body was twitching, his blood was overflowing, his expression was ferocious, and for a moment his thoughts were completely scattered.

"Come out and work!"

Gu Yuan waved his sleeves and summoned the heart-eating insect.

Gu Yuan was very disappointed with Shen Qiaosheng's strength and circumstances.

After some attempts, he decided not to melt the man's life core first, but to use the heart-eating worm to devour the other person's memory.

"Don't worry, Master. Leave it to me, Little Bug!"

The heart-eating insect flapped its wings and flew away, abandoning its previous ghost body, and went straight through the big hole between Shen Qiaosheng's eyebrows and into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Shen Qiaosheng's severely injured consciousness sensed the crisis and he wanted to struggle, but it was of no avail. The shadow of a emerald green insect soon appeared in his eyes.

Born, played in childhood, joined a sect, started to refine Qi, found secret treasures, made rapid progress in practice, achieved golden elixir, Dao fetus... countless memories flowed, and were constantly absorbed and read by the heart-eating worm.

Everything went smoothly, just like it had done so many times before.

"what!"

But at this moment, the heart-eating worm suddenly let out a scream, and the emerald green insect shadow was pushed away by a great force, unconsciously leaving Shen Qiaosheng's sea of ​​consciousness.

Gu Yuan's face changed immediately, but before he could make any move, Shen Qiaosheng died on the spot and his soul dissipated.

"Is there a ban?!"

Gu Yuan asked with a serious expression.

The ability of the heart-eating worm to devour memories is very powerful, but it is not omnipotent.

Disciples from large sects would leave restrictions in the scriptures passed down to their disciples, not allowing them to be passed on to outsiders.

But in the past, the Heart-Eating Bugs would always avoid these restrictions. Why is it doing this today?

"His memory has been tampered with. It is not the original one. Someone has been to his sea of ​​consciousness and left a restriction!"

The heart-eating insect flapped its wings and flew into the air. Several of its wings were cracked, and it couldn't help but speak with fear.

The restrictions in the sea of ​​consciousness are the most dangerous. Once touched, the cultivator's soul will be immediately destroyed, and the person who checks the memory will also suffer great harm.

The restriction just now was extremely secretive and dangerous. If he hadn't been born with an abnormal body that allowed him to run fast, he would have been seriously injured!
Even so, he was seriously injured and needs to recuperate for some time.

"Melt his memory and let me see it!"

Gu Yuan didn't expect such a sudden change to happen, and gave orders immediately.

The heart-eating worm did not dare to delay and immediately melted Shen Qiaosheng's memories into beads and presented them to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan took the memory bead, his mind surged, and he kept flipping through it.

This is a huge amount of memory, but Gu Yuan’s spiritual power is strong and he can read it quickly.

Becoming a disciple, practicing, experiencing, emotional tribulation, accepting disciples, practicing... everything was normal. Although there were some adventures, they did not arouse Gu Yuan's curiosity.

Until the end of the memory, a dark cave appeared.

Inside the cave, there was a shabby statue that was completely black and looked as if it had been burned by fire.

Shen Qiaosheng knelt in front of the statue, with ecstasy in his eyes.

Gu Yuan wanted to see the face of the statue clearly, but it was blurry and his memory stopped there.

"Idol..."

"What happened to Shen Qiaosheng?"

Gu Yuan began to feel doubtful.

……

……

At this moment, deep in the Black Mountains, in a cave hidden thousands of miles underground, a black statue that looked as if it was burning and dilapidated suddenly opened its eyes.

"A pawn died..."

There was a young man lying prostrate on the ground under the statue. When he heard the statue speak, he immediately asked respectfully, "Excuse me, ancestor, which pawn is this?"

The statue was silent for a moment, as if sensing something, before speaking again: "Shen, Shen Qiaosheng..."

"It's him?"

"This pawn was in Black Mountain. He was already in the late Yuanxiang stage and had also practiced the Immortal Sutra. How could he die now?"

"Could it be that a great cultivator from the Heavenly Spirit Realm has arrived?"

The young man looked up in confusion, revealing black scales on his forehead and golden vertical pupils, like a dragon lurking in the darkness.

"There are no heavenly spirits in Black Mountain..."

The statue said firmly.

"That means the Yuan Xiang Tianjiao from Linchuan Dao School has arrived."

"Ancestor, is the time right?"

A look of desire appeared in the young man's golden vertical pupils.

"This is just a coincidence. Shen Qiaosheng is not the bait we planned to use..."

The statue's voice is steady and without any ripples.

"But since someone is here and has noticed the memories I touched, I might as well put on a big show..."

"We don't have much time left. Your people are about to go ashore, and unrest in Shenzhou is imminent."
