I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 653: Giant Insect Following, Innate Crystal Core

Gu Yuan sat cross-legged on the star cluster. Facing numerous prying eyes, he remained calm. His spiritual thoughts were like the sea, transforming into a halo that enveloped his face, making it difficult to see clearly.

This Master Wangchuan is extremely powerful, a sword master in the middle stage of Mahayana. His mind is as sharp as a sword, but he happened to meet me.

His strength in the way of Dharma was only at the early stage of Mahayana, and his spiritual power was not vast. However, he practiced both power and Dharma, and broke through to Mahayana twice. His spiritual power increased exponentially, far surpassing that of an ordinary Mahayana in the early stage, not to mention that his blood and energy were like the sun, floating in his spiritual power.

With all the added power, the incarnation of his spiritual consciousness has become a huge "furnace" within three feet. Even if the spiritual consciousness of the middle stage of Mahayana breaks into it, it will only end up being reduced to ashes.

"Do you have any more bids to pay?"

When Xingya Shangzun saw this scene, he was secretly surprised in his heart, but there was no change on his face. He still smiled and asked the other Mahayana monks.

Without revealing his true identity, he let a great sword master suffer a loss. Gu Yuan had already demonstrated enough strength. Everyone was silent for a moment and stopped bidding.

"In that case, the fourth spot belongs to this fellow Taoist!"

Xingya Shangzun smiled slightly, and a star plate carrying the golden key flew towards Gu Yuan.

As soon as Gu Yuan thought about it, the golden key fell into his Qiankun bag, and then a white jade elephant fruit appeared on the star plate.

Transaction complete!

"Thank you for your support, fellow Daoist. Now we will start the auction for the fifth spot!"

Xingya Shangzun took the star plate, bowed to Gu Yuan, and then continued the auction.

Half of the eight places have been taken.

The competition for the next few spots will become increasingly fierce.

The prices of the treasures that everyone was bidding on were rising rapidly, accompanied by a clash of divine thoughts.

This Dharma Assembly requires participation in the incarnation of divine thoughts, and this is the purpose.

The battle of spiritual thoughts will not hurt the foundation. If you lose, it means that your skills are inferior to others. If you enter the Star Abyss, you may return empty-handed.

Therefore, it is better to do a simple battle first to test your strength, and then decide whether to enter the Star Abyss.

The Mahayana monk's mind was as fast as lightning, and the auction went on very quickly.

However, after less than half an incense stick of time, all eight spots were sold out through bidding.

The fifth spot was taken by a great demon in the middle stage of the seventh tribulation, known as the "Nine Tribulations Supreme".

The sixth spot was won by Lord Wangchuan.

The seventh spot was won by [Wanhu Shangzun].

The eighth spot was won by a casual cultivator named [Jie Hui Ke].

The eight places all belong to those who have reached the middle stage of Mahayana cultivation. The others who did not bid for the places sighed slightly but had no choice but to accept it.

I am not as rich as others, and I am not as skilled as others. There is nothing I can say.

Xingya Shangzun smiled happily and said, "Thank you all for your support. In two days, the Xingyuan will be opened. At that time, you just need to activate the golden key to activate the treasure raft."

Afterwards, he bowed his head and paid respects to all the Mahayana monks one by one, seeing them off. Then he himself turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

But the auction wasn’t over yet.

A long-browed Tianling monk stepped forward to preside over the next auction.

……

……

Two days later.

The entire Xingyuan City suddenly trembled, and countless starlights suddenly floated in the huge abyss pit under the peak, dispelling the infinite darkness and revealing the broken and pitted countless star fragments inside.

"call out!"

"call out!"

Without any instructions, many silver spiritual lights flew up and transformed into silver star rafts, carrying many Yuanxiang and Tianling monks towards the huge pit in the abyss.

"boom!"

A huge aura floated, and then a golden star raft flew towards the huge pit in the abyss at a high speed like a meteor.

The Mahayana monk has entered the Star Abyss.

"boom!"

The entrance to the Star Abyss is open for a limited time. The Mahayana monks who have won a spot did not hesitate and set up their golden rafts to fly into the Star Abyss.

Gu Yuan did not delay either. He activated the golden key, boarded the treasure raft, and flew directly towards Xingyuan.

Just as his treasure raft flew up, in the courtyard on the side of him, two treasure rafts flew up one after the other. Leading among them was the [Lishan Demon Guard] seen at the Dharma Assembly that day.

Behind the demon guard, a woman with a veil on her face, whose face could not be seen clearly, was sitting cross-legged on another treasure raft with her eyes closed.

"The Tianfeng clan?"

When Gu Yuan saw this, he was immediately surprised.

The Tianfeng clan was actually staying next to his courtyard, but in the past few days, he had not sensed any trace of their presence.

If it were not visible to the naked eye, in the divine mind, the treasure raft would still be empty.

"What an ingenious way of hiding."

Gu Yuan pondered in his heart, and on the treasure rafts around him, many Mahayana monks frowned slightly, but no one said much, just urged the treasure rafts to fall quickly into the Star Abyss.

……

……

"boom!"

As soon as I fell into the Star Abyss, my vision suddenly dimmed.

As far as the eye can see, there are only faint stars illuminating the surroundings, and pieces of broken "meteorites" and "stardust" are flying around randomly, as if countless meteors are flowing in the abyss, at a very fast speed, with extremely strong impact force.

This doesn't feel like an abyss, but more like outer space.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

This is a special "star field".

Countless distorted "magnetic forces" and "star forces" turned into a force field, which greatly interfered with the vision and spiritual thoughts of the Mahayana cultivators. The visible distance was greatly reduced to only about a thousand feet.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a star stone about an acre in size, spewing rich starfire, rushed towards Gu Yuan's treasure raft at a high speed.

But the treasure raft moved automatically without wind and was extremely flexible. Without Gu Yuan's control, it was like a golden fish, nimbly avoiding the attacking star stones.

The treasure raft can connect to the [Chenhui Zhenxing Array], which has its own magical powers and is immune to attacks from the abyss.

"call out!"

The treasure raft trembled, carrying Gu Yuan at an extremely fast speed towards the depths of the abyss.

In just the blink of an eye, it flew hundreds of miles.

The starlight here became dimmer, but the space became more vast. All kinds of star stone fragments poured down like heavy rain, but the treasure raft was able to avoid the attacks every time. Even if it was impossible to avoid them, a layer of faint "star power" would gush out and knock the star stones away.

The Mahayana divine consciousness was compressed again, and he could only see a distance of several hundred feet.

But here, there is no longer the treasure raft of Tianling and Yuanxiang monks, only eight golden lights, diving down endlessly.

As the depth of the abyss continued to deepen, even Gu Yuan could hardly see the figures of the Mahayana monks on the other treasure rafts. He could only see a vague golden light.

"boom!"

Suddenly, an extremely strong sense of oppression emerged in his heart. Gu Yuan looked up and saw a "huge round ball" suddenly appeared in front of him.

In the sphere, countless potholes and traces of dried-up water can be vaguely seen.

It was desolate and lifeless inside.

"This is a star realm that failed to conceive."

Gu Yuan immediately had an epiphany.

"call out!"

The treasure raft continued to dive according to Gu Yuan's wishes, and the "broken star realms" gradually increased.

Some of them even have dried scales on them, as if they are only one step away from successfully giving birth to a living being.

But Gu Yuan knew that no real living creatures would be born in this star abyss.

This is destined to be a "starry abyss".

Only various kinds of precious minerals, fine stones, Yang jade, and spiritual sand can barely be transformed. This is also the opportunity that everyone comes to pursue.

As the dive deepened, the void became darker and more desolate.

It was almost pitch dark, and only the starlight above the treasure raft dispelled some of the darkness.

"boom!"

At this moment, a strong feeling of oppression emerged from the bottom of his heart. Gu Yuan looked up and saw two huge "spheres" floating in the air in the dark star abyss.

There were many potholes and it looked dark, as if it had died.

The other one had a bright aura, above which a dark sky and violent rain could be vaguely seen.

This is a star realm that has become desolate and barren, and a star realm that has already nurtured a meager amount of spiritual energy.

Not only that, in the star realm that nurtures spiritual energy, there is also a bright light that rises up and dispels the darkness, making this realm look like the sun, with a sense of supremacy.

"call out!"

Upon seeing this star realm, the five treasure rafts flew directly into it without hesitation.

The other two treasure rafts hesitated slightly, but after a brief hesitation, they also accelerated their flight and flew towards the star realm.

“Could this be the starry sky where the precious light is shining brightly?”

In the darkness, Gu Yuan stood on the star raft, looking at the vast starry sky shining with precious light, thinking about something in his mind.

"Is it because he was born a little late, or?"

He was not sure whether there were treasures in this star realm, but the pale silver opportunity indicated by the stone liquid was not in this star realm full of treasure light, but in the dry star realm on the side.

You can’t go wrong with stone liquid.

Either there is no treasure in this starry sky full of precious light, or the time of appearance in this world is after the detection of the stone liquid?

But...how could there be an ownerless treasure that was created in just a few days?

Which treasure in the starry sky does not take thousands or even millions of years to grow?

Gu Yuan was confused, but he didn't have a definite answer for the moment. Now seeing many treasure rafts entering the star realm full of precious light, he did not hesitate and urged the treasure rafts to fly towards the exhausted star realm.

But just as Gu Yuan was urging the treasure raft to head towards the depleted star realm, a treasure raft rose into the air from the star realm that was shining with precious light, left the star realm, and turned around to chase after Gu Yuan.

The owner of this treasure raft seemed to be very familiar with this star realm. He kept a distance just beyond the Mahayana cultivator's consciousness, making it impossible for people to detect him, and he moved slowly forward in the darkness.

Even after entering the star realm, the treasure raft simply disappeared, and was replaced by a strange giant white jade insect.

The aura of this giant insect was extremely terrifying. As soon as it appeared, the entire Star Abyss was rippling. But fortunately, a piece of white jade was immediately hung in front of the giant insect's forehead, stopping its breath.

……

……

"boom!"

As soon as the treasure raft entered the star realm, it was hit by an extremely strong gravitational force, causing the treasure raft to fall into the star realm at a high speed.

Even Baofa could not resist this force, because once entering the star realm, the power of the Chenhui Star-Suppressing Array rapidly decayed.

Although this place is ruined, it is a brand new world. The formation can only suppress the Star Abyss, not all star realms.

"The Xingyuan Realm is indeed strange..."

A vast magical power surged in the treasure raft, controlling it to fall toward the ground at a constant speed. Gu Yuan stood on the raft and looked at the desolate land, feeling curious.

From the outside, this star realm is just a huge sphere, only a few hundred miles wide. But once you enter it, the universe suddenly expands to tens of millions of miles.

The most important thing is... the flow of time here is different.

Time here becomes extremely violent, not as gentle as in the outside world. Gu Yuan feels as if his lifespan is being dragged along. One breath here is like ten breaths in the outside world.

He did not gain any extra time, but his lifespan was passing away ten times faster than in the outside world.

This is one of the most terrifying places in the Star Sea Abyss.

No one dared to stay in the star realm for long and explore it at will.

Ten times the flow rate is considered normal in the star realm. Some star realms even have twenty times the flow rate, which is extremely terrifying. Even Mahayana cultivators have to be cautious when entering.

Before Gu Yuan came here, he had already learned about the strangeness of the star realm, so he was just curious and not surprised.

"Buzz!"

As soon as he thought of it, the shadow of a golden cicada floated above Gu Yuan's head, flapping its wings and pulling Gu Yuan into the time of yesterday.

Printed yesterday.

Gu Yuan tried to use yesterday's seal to resist the flow of time here.

But it failed.

Even if he was yesterday, the flow of time would not change, and yesterday would also consume his lifespan.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan had no choice but to give up, retract the seal, urge the treasure raft, and continue moving forward.

He learned from the stone liquid that the opportunity was millions of miles away.

"boom!"

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

This is a broken star realm, so the climate changes are weird and abnormal, with howling winds, raging magnetic forces, and smoke and dust all over the sky as if a giant dragon is sweeping away everything on the ground.

This is the power of heaven and earth. All things change color. Everything within a million miles is swept up in it. The same is true for the treasure raft, which is like a small boat blown up by the smoke and dust.

Fortunately, Gu Yuan only had a thought, and his infinite magic power turned into a barrier. His body was like a giant pillar supporting the heaven and earth, emitting a "force field" as stable as Mount Tai, which stabilized the treasure raft and allowed it to move forward in the terrible gale and dust that swept across the heaven and earth.

Although the speed is much slower than in the Chenhui Realm, it is stable and neither fast nor slow.

Not long after, a towering peak suddenly appeared in front of Gu Yuan.

This giant peak looks like a giant upright finger, standing out in the air above the vast earth.

"This is where it is..."

When Gu Yuan looked at the giant peak, a hint of joy suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The opportunity of Shiye appears at this peak!
He urged the treasure raft to speed up and flew towards the peak. After dozens of breaths, he had reached the bottom of the peak.

"boom!"

Gu Yuan activated his magic power, and the treasure raft was like a sharp sword, going straight to the bottom of the peak and drilling continuously into the core of the earth. After about dozens of breaths, a dazzling light suddenly lit up in the darkness underground, blooming with layers of spiritual light.

"That's it!"

There was a golden flame flowing in Gu Yuan's eyes, and he could see the true form of the object clearly from a distance of a thousand feet.

It was a mysterious crystal the size of a fingernail, crystal clear, with liquid flowing inside.

In this crystal, one can vaguely see several mysterious "seal patterns" flowing in the liquid, which is magnificent.

"Is this... an innate crystal core?"

When Gu Yuan saw this, he was immediately overjoyed.

The innate crystal core is a treasure born from the stars. It contains the essence of a star and possesses the power of creation.

If it is placed in a cave or a secret realm, the cave will grow, the secret realm will expand, spiritual veins will be born in heaven and earth, and all kinds of treasure mines can be produced.

If it is placed in the dantian of a cultivator, the star core will automatically become "innate magic power" that matches the attributes of the cultivator.

Although this innate crystal core is only the size of a fingernail, if a Mahayana cultivator refines it, it can increase his magic power by at least a thousand years.

And the "seal pattern" is even more mysterious, it was created by heaven and earth.

Monks look up and down at the heavens and the earth, and have insight into the universe. Only then can they create all kinds of wonderful methods and mysterious immortal scriptures.

And this "innate star pattern" is the best "observation material".

You can obtain great supernatural powers, and even the method of immortal seal!

This is the "pattern" derived from heaven and earth, and it possesses incredible power.

If one does not wish to comprehend this pattern, branding it on the "Xuan Yuan Treasure" will instantly increase the power of the treasure to a higher level, bringing about a mysterious change.

In general, the innate crystal core is an extremely precious treasure!
"Silver opportunity, it really won't let me down..."

Gu Yuan felt emotional.

"boom!"

But at this moment, there was a roar, and the giant peaks suddenly closed together. The originally ordinary rocks turned into extremely hard steel in an instant, gathering together as one, trying to crush all the living things in the peaks to death.
