I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 669 Fuyuan Peak, the Power of the Glazed Medicine Master's Immortal Seal
A light rain was falling, accompanied by a gentle breeze, making the world feel cool and refreshing.

Although it was a light rain, the desolate land was shrouded in mist. Even a light drizzle enveloped the vast earth in a layer of fog, making countless ancient trees appear indistinct and unclear.

But amidst the rain and mist, a sacred peak rises abruptly from the ground, resembling a giant club reaching for the sky, standing tall and attracting attention in the mountains and forests.

Thousands of miles away from this peak, there is a strange magic boat shaped like a blue lotus suspended in the sky.

An old Taoist priest with white hair and beard on the boat pointed to this peak and said to a handsome young Taoist priest beside him, "This peak was originally called Great Ape Peak, because it was famous for a group of giant ape demons living on the peak."

"Many years ago, a precious light soared into the sky above this peak, and a celestial material was born, which attracted a fierce competition."

"In the end, the Nine Stones Sect obtained the immortal material and brought the peak under its control, turning it into a training ground for the Nine Stones Sect and renaming it Fuyuan Peak."

"After being nurtured by the spiritual land, Fuyuan Peak has become a seventh-order Daoist temple, capable of supporting Mahayana cultivators."

"Currently, a cultivator from the Nine Stones Sect at the early stage of Mahayana cultivation, whose Daoist name is Langtian, is cultivating on this peak. He has twelve disciples, twenty-eight registered disciples, hundreds of servants, and over a thousand spirits and warriors. It can be considered quite prosperous."

The old Taoist priest was Tian Xuanzi, and the person beside him was naturally Gu Yuan.

He volunteered that day, agreeing to help Tian Xuanzi transform the Immortal Seal and obtain the materials for it. Now that the Immortal Seal is complete, it's time to finish this task.

Upon hearing his master's words, he remained expressionless and simply asked, "Is the seal material that Master desires located on this peak?"

Tian Xuanzi nodded slightly and then explained, "The reason why this peak was occupied by the Nine Stones Sect and cultivated as a training ground is because there is a spiritual spring in this peak called the Yin-Yang Spring. This spring has the power of Yin and Yang creation, which can cleanse all kinds of filth, and can also reverse Yin and Yang, turning evil into spirit and spirit into evil. It is extremely extraordinary."

"If I want to reverse the Immortal Seal, I cannot do without the water of this spring."

"However, the water of this spring is extremely precious. There is only one pool, and it is a very important part of the Nine Stone Sect's cultivation method. Therefore, they are not willing to trade it easily. I have tried many times, but I have returned empty-handed."

In the end, Tian Xuanzi sighed slightly, somewhat helplessly.

"So what does Master mean?"

Gu Yuan frowned slightly.

I initially thought it was an unclaimed treasure that needed to be fought for, so I had to personally oversee the fight. But now it seems the situation is somewhat different.

However, when he went to the Star Sea Abyss before, he had already gained a general understanding of the various forces in the Chenhui Realm and had also heard of the Nine Stones Sect, so he had a vague guess in his heart.

However, he still needed to hear Tian Xuanzi's thoughts on how to proceed.

Tian Xuanzi's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He tossed out a jade slip and said, "If it were an ordinary cultivator, that would be fine. I can think of another way. After all, this world is rich and prosperous. After a couple of trips to the wilderness, there might be an alternative."

"But this sect is not a true orthodox esoteric school!"

Tian Xuanzi's face showed disgust.

“Using blood to nourish the stone, cultivating all kinds of evil spirits, and then using the Yin-Yang Spring to cleanse the evil and turn evil into good, seems to be a perfect solution, but it is not the right path.”

"If we're not fellow Daoists, then there's no need to be so polite."

"Let's talk about the means."

After speaking, Tian Xuanzi looked at Fuyuan Peak with a cold glint in his eyes.

Hearing this, Gu Yuan roughly understood what Tian Xuanzi meant.

"Master intends to come directly to our door and seize this peak?"

Tian Xuanzi shook his head: "There is no need to seize this peak. Moreover, we are not going directly to their door. We have a legitimate reason for doing so."

As he spoke, he waved his sleeve, and a wisp of spiritual light appeared, summoning a giant white-haired ape about ten feet tall, which landed in front of the two of them.

"Master!"

"Brother!"

This white-haired giant ape, with its bright and intelligent eyes, was clearly a creature of extraordinary intelligence. When it was summoned by Tian Xuanzi, it immediately bowed its head and knelt down, bowing deeply to the two of them.

"It's fine to call me Master, but please don't call me Senior Brother. Just call me Venerable."

Tian Xuanzi accepted the bow without hesitation, but corrected the white-haired giant ape's way of addressing Gu Yuan.

"Yes, Master!"

The white-haired giant ape was very disappointed, but it could only bow its head again, pay homage to Gu Yuan, and call him "Your Excellency".

Seeing this, Gu Yuan wondered if it was alright.

He didn't care about these trivial details, but since his master had spoken, he didn't need to refute them.

The scene before me seemed strangely familiar.

"Is this a descendant of the demonic ape from Fuyuan Peak?"

"Master wants to seize the Spring for his disciple?"

This scene once happened in the Jiuyi Mountains.

"It's not time to slay demons and monsters or wage war on a large scale yet; we just need to find a pretext first."

Tian Xuanzi stroked his beard and smiled, acknowledging Gu Yuan's guess.

"May I ask, Master, is this demonic ape truly a descendant of this peak?"

Gu Yuan looked at the white-haired giant ape lying prostrate on the ground with curiosity.

Back then, the sect leader's actions were planned in advance. Yuan Chengfu was indeed a descendant of the Jiuyi Ancient Sect, without a doubt. But now, it's still early in the story. Can his master find the original owner of this body?

Tian Xuanzi smiled slightly: "Today's path is not the way of the king, but the way of the tyrant. If we win, it's the real deal; if we lose, we'll try again another day!"

Gu Yuan immediately understood and asked with a smile, "What does Master want me to do?"

“I have my own methods for dealing with this peak, so you don’t need to worry about it. But this Venerable Langtian is not without connections. Once I gain the upper hand, he will definitely ask the Nine Stones Sect for support.”

"The Nine Stones Sect only has its sect leader who is at the late stage of the Mahayana realm, but he is currently in seclusion and rarely goes out. However, there are two other mid-stage Mahayana cultivators in the sect, whose strength is extraordinary. I am not capable of handling them, so I need you to support me."

A smile appeared in Gu Yuan's eyes: "Master, please do as you please. Your disciple will take care of everything."

Comparing backgrounds is good; he likes it.

……

……

Fuyuan Peak.

While Venerable Langtian was expounding immortal scriptures to his disciples in the mountains, he suddenly frowned, stopped lecturing, and looked into the distance, gazing at the sky.

The disciples exchanged glances, puzzled, but dared not say anything, and could only look at each other blankly.

But just then, a mournful cry suddenly came from the sky: "The Nine Stones Sect killed my ancestor and stole my spiritual spring. If they are still the righteous path of the Xuanmen, then return my spiritual spring!"

The sound was a tremendous wail that resounded through the heavens and could be clearly heard throughout the entire Fuyuan Peak.

The disciples were immediately shocked and furious. One disciple's divine sense surged and looked up at the sky, only to see a white-haired giant ape that had just reached the fifth level. He was about to roar at the sky.

"Don't be impatient."

But with just a frown, the Venerable Langtian turned this place into a no-fly zone, where all escape techniques were forbidden.

"Boom!"

Moreover, within Fuyuan Peak, thousands of rocks trembled simultaneously, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting. Then, a surge of spiritual light rose up, transforming into a gray barrier that covered the entire spiritual peak.

Upon seeing this, the disciples' expressions immediately changed.

This is the seventh-order grand formation of Fuyuan Peak, the Hunyuan Mountain-Suppressing Formation. It has already activated half of its power. What is the identity of this white-haired demon ape?
"Fellow Daoist, you are a supreme being of the Mahayana path. If you have something to say, please speak frankly. Why send this white-haired beast to make a racket and ruin our composure?"

"Could it be that they intend to seize my spiritual spring?"

The Venerable Langtian frowned slightly, looked towards the void in the sky, and spoke softly, but his tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

Ripples spread through the void, and Tian Xuanzi no longer concealed himself, stepping into the void. He waved his whisk, a smile on his lips: "Since you are a straightforward person, I will not hide anything. I have come here today to seek justice for my disciple!"

"All things in nature are created to nourish humankind. This peak originally belonged to the White Ape Clan. Your esteemed sect has encroached upon it without cause, which is not in accordance with the Way of Immortals. Please return the Spirit Spring!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Langtian merely sneered: "So you're the one who sought the spring before? Unable to obtain it, you resort to force?"

White ape? That's all just an excuse!

Even with the Nine Stones Sect occupying the peak, and Mahayana cultivators personally taking action, how could they still leave any survivors?

The apes on this peak have all died out long ago; they have no descendants.

He just didn't expect that a cultivator in the early stage of Mahayana would actually want to seize the spring.

Is he relying on something, or has he lost his mind?

He activated his divine senses and even orchestrated a grand formation to probe the surrounding area, but still found nothing. Yet, a sense of vigilance remained in his heart.

Tian Xuanzi sneered, "When your sect saw the emergence of a celestial talent, you slaughtered this peak. Was that not forcibly seizing it?"

"If you wish to have a cup of spiritual tea, I would be happy to oblige. But if you intend to seize the spring, please return."

The Venerable Langtian did not wish to argue, but simply said calmly.

"Ni Tianxiao, I only have one question!"

"Have you slaughtered mountain peaks and apes, used human blood to nourish the stone, and seized the spiritual spring?!"

Tian Xuanzi didn't say much, his expression turned solemn, and he simply asked coldly.

The Venerable Langtian narrowed his eyes, anger rising in his heart, but he held back, neither answering nor leaving the peak.

He had certainly committed acts of slaughter and bloodshed.

But so what?

His Nine Stones Sect has always been like this, it's not a big mistake, and there are also demons raising humans and cultivating demon guards.

It's just that they act a bit more ruthlessly.

Chenhui has always been like this.

At this thought, he suddenly realized something, looked at Tian Xuanzi, and revealed a thoughtful expression: "Are you from the ancient land of Xuanhuang?"

Xuanhuang was unaware of the Eight Realms, but the Eight Realms had long known of Xuanhuang.

Because the origin of humanity was not naturally born, but originated from the primordial chaos, and later entered the celestial realm, where it was cleansed of the calamities generation after generation. Only after the opening of the eight realms did it transform back into mortals and humans, injecting vitality into the eight realms.

But in the wilderness, bloodshed is inevitable.

The heavens did not stop it.

Only when all methods advance together can there be a future for the celestial realm.

For tens of thousands of years, this has been the way of cultivation. Even man-eating demons can ascend to the heavenly palace as long as they have merit.

It is precisely because of these precedents that a vigorous momentum of all laws and regulations has emerged.

The Xuanhuang Realm, the former land of the Heavenly Realm, is a place of peace and prosperity, where righteousness reigns supreme and no dissent is tolerated.

But... has he taken his power to the Chenhui Realm?
He immediately snorted coldly, his face showing disdain.

"Erase the Great Plate Seal!"

Seeing this, Tian Xuanzi stopped asking questions.

Today, he intends to act tyrannically, seize the seal material from this unorthodox sect, forge a new immortal seal, and then conquer this realm!

All principles are contained within the seal.

Say a few words, and having a pretext is enough.

"boom!"

A huge, millstone-like seal suddenly flew up and landed on Tian Xuanzi's head. Within this millstone, thousands of seal characters were crushed and then reformed, filled with the meaning of attrition.

However, something seems to be missing, which makes this seal, although powerful, lack a certain charm.

"puff!!"

But at that moment, a thick stream of essence blood suddenly gushed out from Tian Xuanzi's body, turning into a cloud of blood mist that fell into the millstone.

"Squeak!"

The millstone turned gently, and gray "qi" began to condense.

"This is……"

Upon seeing this, the Venerable Langtian was immediately startled.

Is the person before me feeding the millstone with their own "essence and blood"?
This millstone only moves when it sucks blood, much like a "demon's disc," unlike anything from the Xuanmen sect!
Is magic practiced in the ancient land of Xuanhuang?
But... magical cultivation requires the blood and essence of others as sacrifices, slaughtering countless living beings. How can one nourish oneself with one's own blood and essence?
The essence and blood of Mahayana cultivators are extremely precious; they are water with roots, how can they be endlessly nourished?

He was puzzled.

As Tian Xuanzi spat out his essence blood, his face turned extremely pale, and his body shriveled up, resembling a withered skeleton.

But his eyes shone brightly, showing no sign of worry.

The Venerable Langtian was even more puzzled.

"boom!"

Just then, as the clouds shifted, a magic seal radiating a faint immortal aura suddenly appeared, casting countless rays of light that fell into Tian Xuanzi's body.

Like a withered tree blossoming in spring, in just a moment, Tian Xuanzi's pale face regained its color, and his withered body became plump again.

"puff!"

Then, to the astonishment of the Venerable Langtian, Tianxuanzi once again spewed out his essence blood, condensing it into a blood mist, which fell into the millstone.

The millstone rotated faster and faster, and the gray "gas" on it became darker and darker.

"A Celestial Seal?!"

"Regenerating essence and blood, healing injuries in an instant—what kind of immortal seal is this?"

The Venerable Langtian's expression changed drastically. He stood up abruptly and couldn't help but ask.

No wonder, no wonder, that one person dared to swagger in and forcibly seize the property; it turns out he had such a trump card!

Upon seeing this, many disciples in the mountains also had drastic changes in expression.

"puff!"

In that instant, Tian Xuanzi coughed up blood again and fell into the millstone.

The millstone spun faster and faster, and the gray gas on it turned almost black.

A smile immediately appeared in Tian Xuanzi's eyes.

This method is indeed an evil technique, which he obtained in the Heavenly Star Palace, but... if it is nourished with his own essence and blood, it is no longer an evil technique.

It is a magnificent and profound sect, beyond reproach, and possesses immense power.

The wonder of the Immortal Seal lies here.

"go with!"

He gave a soft shout, and the millstone immediately swelled in the wind, transforming into the size of a mountain, and crashed violently into the protective array of Fuyuan Peak.

"boom!!"

In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains trembled. Apart from Venerable Langtian, all the disciples in the ancient forest lost their footing, swayed precariously, and turned deathly pale.

After the millstone strike, there was no feeling of exhaustion. On the contrary, endless essence and blood surged out of Tian Xuanzi's body and fell into the millstone. The power of this technique increased rather than decreased!

"Blood-Eyed Heavenly Stone!"

Upon seeing this, Venerable Langtian's magical power surged. From within his dantian, a fist-sized, blood-red round stone spun rapidly and flew out, growing larger in the wind until it transformed into a skull shape in mid-air.

A crimson divine light suddenly shot out from the skull's eye socket, piercing through the void and striking Tian Xuanzi directly.

"boom!"

Half of Tian Xuanzi's body exploded instantly, and the blood all over his body turned black.

But as long as he has a breath left, Tian Xuanzi is essentially unharmed.

The Glazed Medicine Master Immortal Seal unleashed endless immortal light, instantly restoring his shattered body. He then flung out all the "tainted blood" and circulated fresh blood throughout his body.

After his injuries were fully healed, he once again "sprayed blood," condensing his essence and blood, which fell onto the millstone.

The millstone's power surged once more, hurtling towards Fuyuan Peak.

"boom!"

A tremendous roar resounded, the sacred peak shook and collapsed, ancient trees broke, and dust and smoke rose everywhere.

A mid-grade seventh-order array, connected to the earth's veins, couldn't stop a cultivator in the early Mahayana stage.

A sense of foreboding immediately rose in the eyes of the Venerable Langtian. Without thinking, he immediately burned one of the talismans.
