I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 674 The Fall of the Dao and the Destruction of Heaven, Disqualification from Return to the Void

"boom!"

After a moment's thought, Gu Yuan no longer hesitated. All his mental energy surged into the dream space, and all the "heart-nourishing" and "soul-nourishing" substances outside his physical body melted into liquid and fell into Gu Yuan's stomach.

The dream space trembled instantly, and a heavy rain fell from the sky.

"Boom!"

Under the drenching rain, countless seal characters seemed to leap into the air like carp, jumping up and down. With each leap, the seal characters became longer and more slender, until finally, all the seal characters transformed into the shape of thunder, like silver snakes dancing wildly, roaring and illuminating the world as bright as day.

Then, thousands of lightning snakes swam and fell from the sky, crashing into the illusory immortal seal of the [Immortal Seal of the Thunder Spirit that Forbids All Laws].

"clang!"

"clang!"

"clang!"

In an instant, the golden bell resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The originally illusory Dharma seal solidified instantly, and the seal characters that had been faintly visible beneath it, seemingly about to disappear at any moment, suddenly lit up and were then deeply imprinted on it, as if they were born from heaven and earth, and have been so since ancient times, never changing.

"It's done!"

Gu Yuan was overjoyed, knowing that his deduction had succeeded and that the seal had become an immortal seal.

However... although the method of deduction was completed, the immortal seal was not yet formed.

There is still one last step left.

"Shh!"

Gu Yuan mentally withdrew from the dream space and returned to his physical body.

"Buzz!"

Before his knees, the half-finished treasure seal, engraved with thunder and withered wood patterns in the jade, seemed to sense something and began to tremble rapidly, a strong desire surging forth.

"Thunder is the banishment of all laws, sent by Heaven..."

"The Thunder Spirit enters my body, commanding all thunder..."

Gu Yuan smiled slightly, muttering incantations as he recited the Immortal Seal Technique that he had just successfully deduced.

With each word he uttered, golden lightning bolts moved like dragons and fell into the half-finished immortal seal.

"clang!"

The half-finished Immortal Seal trembled immediately, as if struck by lightning, but the seal body shone brightly, and the lightning patterns that were originally like withered wood shone brightly. In a daze, it seemed that time had reversed and returned to the time when this wood was growing vigorously in the star realm.

Thunder strikes, heaven and earth sculpt.

Amidst the roar of lightning, the incomplete immortal runes slowly grew, as if heaven and earth were the brushes writing for them.

A mystical aura flowed through the cave, almost materializing, like a sea of ​​thunder roaring within. The originally green cliffs, touched by this aura, turned from green to blue, and thunder seemed to spring from the stones, transforming them into thunderous spirit stones.

Everything happened naturally and very quickly.

"clang!"

Like a resounding bell or celestial music, amidst a peculiar sound, half of the Immortal Seal suddenly transformed into a stream of light and fell into Gu Yuan's abdomen.

Immortal Seal, complete!

After the immortal seal entered Gu Yuan's dantian, it did not transform into a "Dharma Seal Body," but instead transformed into a small thunder spirit figure that looked exactly like Gu Yuan, sitting upright in the inner world of his dantian.

This little thunder spirit had a serious face, exuding an aura of dignified dominance.

"call out!"

Not only that, the little thunder spirit pointed a finger, and all the magic seals in Gu Yuan's dantian gathered together, like stars surrounding the moon, revolving around the little thunder spirit.

Even the Three Absolute Immortal Seals are the same.

The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Immortal Prison Seal seemed to be dissatisfied, twisting and turning in the air. However, the little thunder spirit only glared at it, and a dazzling bolt of lightning fell down, striking the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder. The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Seal immediately became obedient, quietly rotating along with the many other seals.

"boom!"

Not only that, the little thunder spirit suddenly raised its head, its gaze seemingly looking through Gu Yuan's body and into his heart.

Gu Yuan's heart pounded, originally a deep red, but as the Thunder Spirit looked into his mind, he could vaguely see lightning flashing across the sky. Then, true fire burned in the Thunder Spirit's eyes, and a cloak of flames suddenly appeared behind his originally pure lightning body.

"Squeak!"

Not only that, the Killing Move Star Spirit was originally slowly moving around in Gu Yuan's dantian, but suddenly, a powerful thunderous force arose out of nowhere. A trace of fear appeared in the eyes of the Killing Move Star Spirit, and then it obediently circled around the thunder spirit figure.

All of this was within Gu Yuan's perception, which he found mysterious.

And it's not over yet.

Lei Ling pointed a finger and pulled the Nascent Soul Fruit, which had been quietly sitting cross-legged with its eyes closed, to sit next to him, surrounded by the seals.

Then, Lei Ling's gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked at the "Turning Misfortune into Good Fortune Seal," which had remained motionless and extremely aloof since entering Gu Yuan's dantian.

"boom!"

The little thunder spirit pointed, and lightning immediately fell, intending to strike the seal.

However, the seal seemed to be outside this space; the lightning struck but missed its target.

The little Lei Ling frowned, seemingly puzzled, and then began to make hand gestures, as if he were deduce something!
After a while, the little Lei Ling figure put down his little hand, then got up himself, came to the side of the Seal of Turning Misfortune into Good Fortune, picked up the seal, and then returned to the center of the seals and sat cross-legged.

The Seal of Turning Misfortune into Good Fortune was indeed lifted up by Lei Ling and finally hung above the head of the little Lei Ling figure, remaining still.

The powerful magical star, as large as a star, obediently hovered beneath the seals and continued to rotate diligently as the Thunder Spirit entered his body.

At this point, Gu Yuan's inner dantian was completely quiet, everything was in perfect order, like the movement of celestial bodies, full of the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.

"As expected of someone born with a half-immortal seal..."

Seeing this, Gu Yuan was also deeply moved.

Although he derived this seal, its foundation is "half of what heaven and earth formed." He only completed the final immortal runes. Therefore, he knows what abilities this seal has, but he is somewhat at a loss as to how to use it.

The seal has two functions: one is to govern oneself and to command all laws.

This method of control differs from the "killing move fusion" of the Killing Move Star Spirit, which can fuse multiple spells to create a more powerful killing move.

But to govern is to govern all laws, to keep everything under control, so as to ensure that no law will become too powerful and damage the foundation, or that evil spirits will spread maliciously and destroy the inner dantian.

Just as the imperial court has hundreds of officials, each with their own duties, and no one is allowed to overstep their bounds, lest they ruin their lives.

Even the power of the mind must be governed by the Thunder Spirit Dharma Body, and cannot "spread the fire of the mind and scorch the physical body."

In summary, this is a skill that can prevent one from going astray in cultivation and ensure that all techniques are under one's control.

Even if Gu Yuan were to one day encounter a formidable enemy like Baopuzi, and had to shatter his inner world to escape, he would not be like Baopuzi, whose inner fire spread uncontrollably and turned him to ashes.

The Thunder Body will strive to keep all inner fires within reasonable limits.

Gu Yuan knew that this method must be profound, which is why he tried his best to deduce it. However, he did not expect that the Thunder Spirit Dharma Body would still give him a surprise.

They even managed to control the Nascent Soul Fruit and the Seal of Turning Misfortune into Good Fortune?
Wouldn't that mean we could be free from the drawbacks of our destiny, do whatever we want, and control how we turn misfortune into good fortune?
However, after carefully sensing it, Gu Yuan felt somewhat disappointed.

"As expected, it's still a bit lacking..."

The Thunder Spirit Body can try its best to delay the "fate flaws" so that they no longer erupt instantly, but it cannot remove them directly.

As for the Seal of Turning Misfortune into Good Fortune, this seal is transcendent and elusive. Even the Thunder Spirit Dharma Body can only prevent it from harming itself; as for controlling its "auspicious power," it is not yet possible.

"But that's enough. Controlling oneself is an unexpected bonus; what's truly important is the power to suppress all laws and kill..."

But Gu Yuan quickly adjusted his mindset, and after his thoughts entered the Thunder Dharma Body, a look of surprise appeared on his lips.

Absolutely prohibit all laws!

The power of divine retribution!

Any magical seal, or even a celestial seal, that tries to show off its power before him must undergo the "test" of the "power of divine retribution".

Just like the withered wood lightning pattern on the half-finished immortal seal, if it can withstand the heavenly punishment, it can unleash all kinds of magic; if it cannot withstand it, it will be like withered wood, dying in the womb, unable to even exert a little bit of power.

Even if it survives divine retribution, its power cannot be fully unleashed in the blink of an eye.

As for those at the Mahayana realm, there should be very few immortal seals capable of withstanding divine punishment.

……

……

His mind returned to his body, Gu Yuan opened his eyes, and took out the jade toad for appraisal.

Half of the Immortal Seal has been completed, but the secluded cultivation is not yet over.

He still has innate star patterns that he has not comprehended.

But there are very few items left to nourish the soul.

Fortunately, he did not stop offering a reward for the soul-nourishing item, and three months had passed since he began to comprehend half of the Immortal Seal. He should have made some progress by now.

"Heart Stone..." "Fire Soul Flower..."

As expected, when Gu Yuan opened the jade toad, many soul-nourishing items immediately flew out and landed in front of him.

With a smile on his lips, Gu Yuan opened the Thousand Treasures Record and looked at the bounty offered for the sword stone.

However, the bounty for this stone is different from that for items that nourish the soul and mind. Few people who are not seventh-level weapon refiners are confident in accepting the bounty, so there are only a handful of bounty records.

"I have the method of polishing sword stones, which can be used to refine the embryos of mid-grade seventh-rank sword pellets, but I do not have the method of fusing sword pellets..."

"I have a method that allows you to enter the Fuyou Realm to hone your sword stone and fuse it with a sword pellet, but you will need to add another 300,000 contribution points."

The two replies were: one stated there was no method to fuse the sword pellets, and the other said more money was required.

It should be noted that Gu Yuan had already offered a high price of thirty-five for this reward, which was extremely generous.

With another 300,000, you can even exchange for the Immortal Scripture.

However... the Fuyou Realm is the most skilled in swordsmanship among the eight realms, and Gu Yuan has long yearned to visit it.

But the most urgent task is not to forge the sword pellet.

Gu Yuan waved his sleeve, put away the treasure record, and prepared to wait and see if there were any other rewards. Then he closed his eyes and continued to comprehend the innate star patterns.

The time left for him was not as ample as he had imagined.

When Venerable Jin Guang and his group wanted to conquer Chen Hui, their first target was the Heavenly Star Palace.

Only by becoming the master of the Heavenly Star Palace can one have the legitimate right to transport disciples from the Xuanhuang Ancient Land to this realm for cultivation.

The most important thing to become the master of the Heavenly Star Palace is "contribution points".

How can I earn contribution points?

Expand territory!
This is not a matter for one person alone; all the Mahayana practitioners in Linchuan need to contribute.

If it were just this one thing, it wouldn't be urgent; after all, sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood.

However, in order to help his master obtain immortal materials, he had already offended the Nine Stones Sect. This sect is not a benevolent one. If that Old Demon of Flint Bone were to refine two immortal seals, coupled with his late-stage Mahayana status, his combat power would be absolutely terrifying.

As time goes on, things will inevitably get complicated and unpredictable.

Therefore, we need to seize the time as soon as possible and send troops to conquer.

……

……

"The innate is creation itself..."

"Of all things created in the beginning, the first to rhyme must be life itself..."

"Opening the heavens and dispelling darkness, gathering vast oceans, nurturing living beings, opening wisdom and enlightenment... all the ways of 'life' are in the innate."

In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed.

Gu Yuan closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, his brows furrowed, and his mind sank into the dream space.

Innate crystal patterns are "excellent materials" for observing the heavens and the earth. In ancient times, many great beings attained enlightenment by observing the stars of the universe in order to obtain mysterious spiritual insights.

Gu Yuan is like that now.

However, these innate crystal patterns were born in the broken star realm, so their quality is naturally inferior to the true ancient star patterns.

It is precisely because of this that it is even more obscure and extremely difficult to comprehend.

This is true enlightenment, which is an extreme test of one's comprehension.

The methods one comprehends may be far inferior to those of the Half-Seal of Immortals, but the time required may be longer.

But Gu Yuan was not in a hurry and simply deduced the situation.

As long as Tian Xuanzi doesn't come looking for him, it means the Golden Hall meeting hasn't started yet. As long as this matter doesn't begin, nothing can disturb him.

Understanding the Dharma and studying the scriptures can take years or even centuries, so he naturally wouldn't be in a hurry since it's only been a few months.

"All paths ultimately seek life."

"The dead are also born; without birth, there is no death. Life is the source of all worlds..."

"Stars are born from innate changes, opening boundaries and generating water, dispelling darkness, and nurturing all spirits. If one strives to deduce them, one can obtain... the Innate Spirit-Nurturing Seal?"

In Gu Yuan's dream space, countless seal characters flickered incessantly, high in the sky, looking like countless stars covering the entire dome.

After months of study, Gu Yuan finally comprehended some "techniques" from the star patterns.

The innate spirit can hatch all things, enabling all living beings in the world to gain intelligence, vitality, and spiritual cultivation. It can even allow men to give birth and raise offspring.

This is a seal of creation.

However, Gu Yuan only deduced the direction slightly before abandoning it.

This is not his way.

"Stars roam the universe freely, unrestrained. A star is but a fleeting moment, yet it spans millions of miles. If one strives to deduce its nature, one can obtain... the Star Bridge Traveling Void Seal?"

With his mind filled with energy, the Golden Seal of the Great Dream Evolution Dharma trembled continuously as he tried his best to comprehend it. Then, a brand new "seal" flowed through Gu Yuan's mind.

Come again!

"The stars reside high in the heavens, overlooking all living beings. The eyes of the stars are the eyes of heaven and earth, perceiving the entire universe. By striving to deduce, one can obtain... the imprint of the starry eyes of the universe?"

Star patterns flow and thousands of seal characters move through the dream space, like countless stars twinkling and shining brightly, and a "new method" is born.

Gu Yuan was still not entirely satisfied.

"The stars draw upon boundless power, capable of suppressing heaven and earth; from this, one can obtain the Great Stele Seal of the Star Mountain?"

Further derivation led to the creation of a new method.

But Gu Yuan was still not satisfied.

Without the Immortal Seal or great supernatural powers, he always felt it wasn't enough.

Having received two immortal seals in succession, his appetite has become quite spoiled.

Most importantly, these innate star patterns are born from heaven and earth, the essence of a realm, and are filled with the "ultimate principles of heaven and earth." As long as one has sufficient comprehension, even if one cannot obtain the complete immortal seal, one can still obtain the prototype of the immortal seal...

The fact that he has only acquired a few innate magic seals only shows that his comprehension is still insufficient.

"Come again!"

"I don't believe it anymore!"

Gu Yuan hardened his heart, unwilling to give up, and plunged back into it.

The ascetic practice made me oblivious to time.

In the blink of an eye, another six months have passed.

Inside the cave, Gu Yuan was pale, emaciated, and had his eyes closed, clearly indicating that he was somewhat exhausted.

But within the dream world, a look of joy appeared on his lips.

"The stars nurture all things, yet this astral realm has failed. Why? Because heaven and earth are incomplete!"

"Incompleteness is the very essence of this star."

"Incompleteness means imperfection; the heavens and earth are incomplete, and the star realm is devoid of spirit. This is the essence of this star pattern, and also the only method of immortal seal!"

"To perish and annihilate the heavens, to return to the void and lose one's status, is the only way to fulfill the mysteries of the Immortal Seal..."

Gu Yuan's thoughts became clearer and clearer, and the seal characters in the dream space increased more and more, like billions of stars, covering everything, even the earth was full of stars.

"boom!"

Suddenly, all the seal characters exploded, as if the Milky Way had shattered and turned into floating clouds.

"puff!"

Thousands of seal characters exploded, and Gu Yuan also coughed up blood, forcibly waking up from the dream space, his face as pale as paper.

But his eyes were sparkling.

The deduction failed not because he was going in the wrong direction.

However... the destruction of the Dao and the destruction of the heavens, the loss of the status of returning to the void, are all too immense.

It's far beyond what he can refine now.

But the direction was correct.

Now, it just needs to be toned down a bit.
