I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 594: Life-saving Grace, the Treasure of the Dao

There were two figures, one male and one female. The male cultivator was handsome and the female cultivator was pretty. They were both in the middle stage of the Heavenly Spirit realm. However, at this moment, their eyes were closed and they were unconscious. Only the faint rise and fall of their chests showed that they were still alive.

The two men fell into coma that day because their magic power was exhausted and their mental stress was too great.

Under normal circumstances, with the recovery ability of the Tianling cultivator, the Taoist body will automatically condense spiritual energy and will wake up on its own in a short time.

But that day in the canyon, the surrounding spiritual energy was completely drained by Gu Yuan and his companions. Later, after the war subsided, Gu Yuan used some tricks on the two of them, so naturally they did not wake up for a long time.

Now that everything has calmed down, it is not a good idea to continue banning the two of them.

"call out!"

"call out!"

Gu Yuan stretched out his hand and two lightning bolts fell into the center of the two men's eyebrows, and then a "lightning net" that was invisible to ordinary people dissipated from the two men's sea of ​​consciousness.

In the cave, a breeze suddenly arose, and streams of spiritual energy surged and flowed into the bodies of the two people. Within a few breaths, they both woke up.

"boom!"

"boom!"

As soon as the two woke up, they felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. They tried their best to mobilize their limited magic power to form a magic barrier outside their bodies. A magic seal also floated up, lowering a barrier of green fire and blue light to protect the two of them.

"Don't panic, fellow Taoists. This place is safe now."

Seeing this, Gu Yuan immediately whispered something to comfort him.

"It's safe..."

"This is..."

The two of them were originally facing a formidable enemy, but after seeing Gu Yuan's human appearance, they suddenly felt relieved and their vigilance dropped a lot.

"Daoyou, are you the one who froze the river in the canyon that day and stopped the Zhuli Court Guards?"

The handsome male cultivator stood up, bowed, and asked Gu Yuan.

"Yes, that day the two Taoists were chased by the dragons. They were exhausted and passed out. It was not reasonable for me to stand by and watch, so I rescued the two Taoists."

"However, there was not only one dragon on that day, and the pursuit was fierce. I had to flee everywhere. During that time, there were also dragon monsters who used secret methods to pursue the enemy across hundreds of thousands of miles of the void. As a last resort, I could only seal the five senses of the two Taoist friends and hide them in the belly of my spirit pet. Until today, I confirmed that they were safe, and then I dared to wake up the two Taoist friends."

"I'm sorry if that was disrespectful, fellow Taoists."

Gu Yuan bowed his head, briefly mentioned the battle, and gave the two an explanation.

"It's been so long..."

As the two of them were celestial spiritual practitioners, they naturally possessed mysterious powers. They knew that more than a month had passed just by counting with their fingers.

"You have been hunted for so long, this Zhu Li Tingwei is really hateful!"

When the female cultivator heard this, she looked angry and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

The dragon was also chasing them that day. It pursued them relentlessly across 200,000 miles of mountains and rivers, and was the most difficult to deal with.

"It's not this dragon. I have killed it. However, there are many dragons in this world. There is another dragon lurking in secret. I don't know its identity. But it is very difficult to track it down. I can only keep escaping..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan smiled lightly, and the Heart-Eating Bug was very sensible and threw out the dragon horn of Zhu Li Tingwei and displayed it in front of the two of them.

The red-gold dragon horn exudes a faint spiritual light, and the flames on it are overflowing, and they have never dissipated even after death.
Big Sun Real Fire!

It really is the dragon horn of Zhu Li Tingwei!
This dragon was actually killed by the person in front of him? !

The two were greatly shocked. He had been in a coma for a month, and all the questions that had arisen in their minds were suppressed deep in their hearts.

Even if the two of them joined forces, they could not defeat the Zhu Li Ting guard. The person in front of them killed the dragon by himself. His strength can be imagined.

When facing such a person, there are many things that cannot be asked anymore.

"I am a disciple of the Tiandu Daoist lineage and Supreme Yunguang. I am Xiao Hanchuan. Thank you for saving my life. I wonder what lineage you come from and which Mahayana disciple you are?"

The handsome male cultivator bowed again, told his origins, and asked about Gu Yuan's name.

"Linchuan Daomai, Qingcheng Dongtian, Gu Yuan."

Gu Yuan smiled faintly and did not hide his origins.

The Tianling cultivators had met each other once during the Hunyuan Daomai meeting, but they did not know each other's origins or names. Moreover, there was no need to conceal their identities in this world.

"So Senior Brother Gu is a disciple of Linchuan Dao School?"

Xiao Hanchuan suddenly understood, bowed repeatedly, and then pointed to the female cultivator beside him and said: "This is Junior Sister Ling Qiushui. Junior Sister Qiushui is a senior disciple of the Yunlan Dao School, and her master is the Qilan Supreme."

Ling Qiushui bowed to Gu Yuan, then said with a wry smile: "I am not worthy of the title of a master disciple. Thank you very much, Senior Brother Gu, for saving my life."

"No need to be polite."

Gu Yuan smiled indifferently.

Although Ling Qiu Shui is a female cultivator, she has a male temperament and a chivalrous heart. She is a dashing person. After paying a deep bow to Gu Yuan, she took out a jade box from her sleeve and handed it to Gu Yuan.

"The grace of saving my life is so precious, how can I not thank you?"

"This is a sixth-rank spiritual herb that I accidentally found in this world. It is called the Moonlight Star Tear Vine. Although it is of little use to human cultivators, it is a treasure of great benefit to the demon race who cultivate by absorbing and exhaling the moonlight."

"I see that you have many demon pets by your side, so I'll give this vine to you to thank you for saving my life!"

This demeanor was much better than Tong Yuanzhou's that day, which made Gu Yuan regain some favor towards the people of Daomai. He smiled and said:

"You are too polite, Junior Sister. If our situations were reversed, I think you would not stand idly by."

Ling Qiushui shook his head and insisted: "I know this gift cannot make up for Senior Brother's kindness, but Senior Brother, please accept it, so that I won't feel uneasy."

"hold head high!"

The cloud whale nearby also let out a long and gentle moan, revealing a hint of eagerness towards the jade box.

It has been practicing for many years and has already reached the middle stage of the sixth level, only one step away from the late stage. If it gets the things in this box, it will definitely be able to reach another level.

The heart-eating worm also stared at the jade box.

The Moonlight Star Tear Vine is a rare creature created by heaven and earth. It contains rich moonlight and is perfect for raising monsters.

It wants it too!

"In that case, I would be disrespectful."

Seeing this, Gu Yuan smiled slightly and accepted the item without any hesitation.

He didn't want to demand repayment for the favor, so this gift was a good way to repay the favor.

"Brother, I have been so kind to you that I cannot repay you. I will give you this gourd of [Taixu Ninghun Powder], and I hope you will not despise it."

Seeing this, Xiao Hanchuan also bowed, took out a jade gourd and handed it to Gu Yuan.

Taixu Ninghun Powder is a sixth-level magic powder that can repair a damaged soul and is a holy object for healing.

However, it was of little use to Gu Yuan, but he did not refuse and accepted it with a smile.

Perhaps knowing that the gift he gave was a bit shabby, Xiao Hanchuan hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but glance at Ling Qiu Shui.

Ling Qiushui smiled and said, "That opportunity was originally discovered by my senior brother, why do you need to ask me?"

"However, there are many dragons in this world, and it is extremely dangerous. The Dragon Slaying Platform has not yet appeared in the world. It is a better choice to gather together for warmth."

Listening to Ling Qiushui's words, Xiao Hanchuan no longer hesitated, bowed to Gu Yuan, and said: "This powder is cheap, not as good as Junior Sister's rare herbs, and it is difficult to repay Senior Brother's kindness. But Junior Brother, I have practiced hard for many years, and my family is not rich, and I don't have many magical items. It happens that Senior Brother has extraordinary means, so why not give Senior Brother an opportunity directly."

"Oh? Chance?"

Gu Yuan was immediately interested when he heard this. He rescued the two people today not because he wanted to gain anything from them, but just wanted to ask why the Zhu Li Ting guards were chasing them, and what information they had about the map of this world and the dragon clan.

After all, this world is vast, and having one or two more human fellows is always safer.

But I didn't expect that these two people were such gentlemen that they would even be given an opportunity?

"There is indeed an opportunity."

"It is precisely because of this opportunity that I met the Zhu Li Tingwei. Otherwise, this dragon might not be able to find us in this vast Xuanfeng Realm."

Xiao Hanchuan smiled bitterly.

Then, without waiting for Gu Yuan to ask, he took out a broken tortoise shell from his sleeve.

There is a small stele on the tortoise shell, with broken patterns emerging on it, and a mysterious Taoist rhyme quietly flowing out.

"This is……"

"The tortoise shell of the scalloped turtle?!"

When Gu Yuan saw the tortoise shell carrying the stele, he was slightly shocked and immediately understood the origin of this object.

The turtle carrying a road with black patterns is a strange turtle born and raised by heaven and earth. It is as big as a rock and carries a stone tablet with mysterious black patterns naturally formed on it.

This inscription contains the power of the evolution of heaven and earth. As long as a cultivator stands under this stele to practice, the inscription will flow automatically, revealing the method practiced by the cultivator, and the rhythm of Tao will flow to help the cultivator understand the method.

In the ancient times, many powerful monks captured this turtle and used it to create and develop laws, which led to the emergence of various immortal scriptures in the world.

However, this turtle is a true divine beast of heaven and earth. It has no bloodline inheritance and is a true spirit of heaven and earth. It lives with the principles of Taoism and if one dies, there will be one less. Therefore, with the capture of the ancient Taoists, this turtle has long been extinct.

Gu Yuan had only seen the description of this turtle in ancient books.

"Could it be that this turtle still exists in this world?"

Gu Yuan's eyes gleamed as he asked Xiao Hanchuan.

If this is really the turtle, this is truly an opportunity.

"Senior brother has misunderstood."

"This turtle may still exist, but this Xuanfeng Realm is only a secret realm. The rules of heaven and earth are incomplete, so this turtle will never be born. Moreover, this turtle is born at the seventh level, and its strength is far beyond our reach. Even if it exists, how can we catch it?"

Xiao Hanchuan shook his head slightly.

"Yes, I am obsessed with it."

Gu Yuan sighed slightly.

I almost forgot that this turtle is a true divine beast of heaven and earth, and its strength is so strong that it is not something that ordinary cultivators can covet.

"This tortoise shell is a treasure of our clan. It was left by an ancestor many years ago. Although it has lost its ability to derive magic, it was refined by the ancestor with a secret method and can be used to find treasures."

Xiao Hanchuan explained slowly.

"Treasure hunt?"

Gu Yuan was a little surprised.

"Yes, it is the ability to find treasures. However, it is different from the general treasure-hunting method. This tortoise shell can only sense treasures that are also part of the 'Essence of Heaven and Earth'."

Xiao Hanchuan did not hide anything and slowly told the origin of the tortoise shell.

The turtle with black patterns on its back is a spirit of heaven and earth, with the ability to derive magic. Its tortoise shell is no longer a real object, but a derivative of "Tao". Therefore, it has a special perception of treasures of the same type.

The ancestor of the Xiao family used the power of "same perception" and consumed many secret materials to successfully refine the tortoise shell.

As long as a treasure of "Heaven and Earth's Descent" appears in an area of ​​tens of millions of miles, this tortoise shell will glow and display the direction. The closer the distance, the clearer the direction indication will be.

"This tortoise shell has been passed down in my Xiao family for many years, but it is a rare thing that can only be found by chance. Therefore, my Xiao family has not found many of them in all these years. After I broke through the Heavenly Spirit, my family gave me this treasure, but in hundreds of years, I have only found an immature Dao tree."

“But I didn’t expect that after going millions of miles deep into the Xuanfeng Realm, the tortoise shell suddenly glowed and revealed a vague direction.”

"However, because the distance is too far, the direction is unclear, so I used the [Giant Mountain Treasure Hunting Method] given by my clan, climbed over the sacred mountains, and with the help of the spiritual light of the mountains, detected the direction, hoping to find this treasure."

"However, there are many treasures and ferocious beasts on the Lingfeng Mountains. Junior Sister Qiushui and I met on a giant mountain. At that time, I was being chased by a late sixth-order ferocious beast. Thanks to Junior Sister Qiushui's help, I was able to escape."

"It is precisely because of this incident that I realized the dangers of this world, so I invited Junior Sister Qiushui to explore with me to find this treasure."

"The reason why we were chased by the Zhuli Court Guards was because Junior Sister Qiushui and I were casting a spell on a giant peak, trying to find the trace of this treasure, and were accidentally discovered by them."

Speaking of this, Xiao Hanchuan couldn't help but sigh.

He had nearly lost his life twice for a vague and unknown "treasure of the Dao".

Virtue does not match!

He already had a vague idea of ​​his own abilities.

If he relies on himself, it would be impossible for him to obtain this treasure, and it would even be a question whether he could survive safely in this world.

So when Gu Yuan demonstrated his ability to kill Zhu Li Tingwei, he had the idea of ​​inviting Gu Yuan to join him in using this treasure.

It is not necessary for him to develop the Tao and the law.

Because there are countless immortal scriptures and infinite wonderful methods in the Taoist tradition. If he does not break through to the Mahayana and become an immortal, he will never be able to fully comprehend them in this lifetime.

Just the Taoist lineage and the methods passed down in the family are enough for him to practice.

It is too early to develop the truth and the law.

He doesn't have that qualification yet.

It would be better to exchange it for some security, or in other words, there are treasures in the land of Yandao that can be shared.

"There is such a strange thing..."

After hearing this, Gu Yuan was immediately filled with emotion.

For others, the derivation of law and the derivation of Tao are not necessary, but for him, they are extremely important.

The "True Scripture of the Innate Yuan Qi that Ascends to the Divine Sky" has not been developed or improved for a long time.

He now has an innate body, his flesh is extremely strong, beyond the realm, his lifespan is long, and he can control all thunders. However, the thickness and strength of his magic power are not much beyond that of ordinary cultivators.

The biggest reason is that the current method of cultivation restricts him.

His "hardware" is already the strongest in the world, and his innate physique cannot be improved further.

However, the "software" at the core of practice cannot keep up with the realm.

It is difficult to suppress practitioners of the same level by relying solely on the supernatural powers of the innate body itself.

He urgently needed a stronger method.

The innate body has both advantages and disadvantages.

The "Tao Source" of each innate body is different.

Practicing other immortal scriptures will certainly lead to improvement, but after all, they are other people's methods, and there will be some barriers and discomfort.

Only the immortal scriptures that suit one's own body can exert their greatest power.

This was also the reason why Tian Xuanzi did not force Gu Yuan to practice the "Immortal Career and Longevity Sutra" back then.

The "True Scripture of the Innate Yuan Qi to Ascend to the Divine Sky" is the one that suits him best.

But now, it has become a burden.
