I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 678 The Immortal Seal of the Azure Maiden, the Shadow of the Immortal Seal
"boom!"

Everything turned out exactly as Gu Yuan had predicted.

The Fire Mist Venerable of the Crimson Cloud Dao Clan had already cultivated the Great Sun True Fire and also the Earth Flame Divine Wind. With wind and fire complementing each other, his strength was extremely terrifying. The entire ten-thousand-foot cloud platform was transformed into a sea of ​​fire, and it seemed as if a hole had been burned into the sky.

"The Azure Maiden Sword!"

However, the female cultivator from the Sword Cloud Sect, who was at the Mahayana stage, simply shouted, and a sword pellet with a bright blue light flew out from her palm.

Both the Green Maiden and the Moon Goddess endure the cold, vying for beauty amidst the moon and frost.

Qingnu is the goddess who controls frost and snow in the "Huainanzi Sword Classic".

As soon as the sword pellet was released, a hazy, cold shadow appeared behind the female cultivator from the Sword Cloud Sect. All the wind and fire in the sky disappeared, and endless frost and coldness enveloped the sky, carrying endless killing intent.

Huoxia Shangzun's expression changed drastically, and a fiery divine robe appeared around his body as he tried to block the sword.

The Fiery Cloud Divine Robe—this is his true innate technique.

Using fire and clouds as their weapons, and with yin and yang in harmony, they are invincible from the start.

But it was all in vain.

The gap between those who possess the Immortal Seal and those who do not is enormous, and cannot be bridged by any method other than the most advanced techniques available in the mortal world.

The Huainanzi Sword Classic is an ancient sword classic that embodies the sword intent of the four seasons' cycle, and its power is by no means insignificant.

"call!"

A cold wind howled, and a small gash was cut open on the neck of the Fiery Cloud Venerable, freezing his blood and rendering him unable to move.

"Accepted!"

Then, the female cultivator from the Sword Cloud Sect bowed, and with a flick of her sleeve, the sword pellet and the "Ascension Stone" flew back into her sleeve.

The first match has come to an end.

"Sword Cloud Sect, Venerable Shan Sheng in green robes, obtained a stone from Tiandu!"

As soon as the competition ended, a young Taoist priest rang a golden bell, shouted loudly, and recorded the number of stones in a golden book.

"Fellow Daoist's immortal sword is incredibly powerful; I am truly impressed!"

Venerable Huoxia was defeated in an instant, but she maintained her composure. There was no resentment or anger on her face. She simply bowed and left Yuntai.

Because he knew that he was only throwing out a prelude today.

It doesn't matter if we lose.

Because he also possessed the "demon seal" bestowed by the patriarch, but it had not yet been transformed.

Failure today, fight again tomorrow.

But in the sky above, the colors of many Mahayana monks had changed.

Is the power of the Immortal Seal truly terrifying?
Most of them were those who had never obtained a Celestial Seal. Although they knew of the power of the Celestial Seal before, they were still shocked when they saw it today.

The Fiery Clouds Supreme Being's power, a fusion of wind and fire, like the harmony of yin and yang, was already extraordinary, yet he was defeated in an instant.

This scene sent chills down the spines of many Mahayana practitioners, but when they thought about the purpose of today's contest, a sense of anticipation also arose in their hearts.

"puff!"

Above the cloud platform, flames flickered, and yet another brand-new "Ascension Stone" leaped out.

The Venerable One in green robes surveyed the heavens, his eyes like swords, challenging all sides.

As long as a person doesn't lose, they can continue to fight.

If no one goes on stage in this round, the Venerable Qingyi can directly take away the second Ascending Stone.

"I've come to learn from your immortal seal, fellow Daoist!"

But just as the Azure-Robed Venerable raised his eyes, a dashing young man in white robes, full of vigor and spirit, floated in from within the Crimson Cloud Dao Vein and landed on the cloud platform.

Crimson Cloud Dao Lineage, Supreme Lord Yunxiao!
This person was one of the five Mahayana practitioners from the Crimson Cloud Dao lineage who went to Chenhui.

Over the years, Chen Hui has seen the three lineages of Mahayana practitioners who went there reap considerable benefits, so his strength is beyond doubt.

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of curiosity rising within him.

"My lord, who among these two will win?"

Seeing that her husband was so insightful, Cen Qingqing immediately used telepathy to ask him softly.

Although the senior sister did not turn around, her jade-like earlobes lifted slightly.

"Within the radiance of the sun, the three lineages are all acting independently. I don't know much about the immortal seal this person has obtained. I can only sense that there is a fiery aura permeating the area. However... the outcome should be 60/40."

After a moment's hesitation, Gu Yuan replied softly.

"Six-four split?"

Cen Qingqing was slightly surprised, not expecting that the Immortal Seal Sword Cultivator only had a 40% chance of winning.

Sword Fox Senior Sister's gaze also sharpened.

"Planning for a new realm is a momentous event for Xuanhuang, so I won't stand on ceremony with you any longer."

"Please accept my immortal seal, fellow Daoist!"

After entering the Cloud Platform, Venerable Yunxiao bowed to Venerable Qingyi, laughed loudly, and then pointed directly, summoning a strange magic seal that resembled a mirror.

"boom!"

The edges of this mudra are adorned with flowing gilded flames, resembling the burning patterns of a mirror, mysterious and profound. Ripples also appear within the mirror, like a surging sea of ​​fire.

Amidst the ripples of flame, a spirited female cultivator, with a sword in her hand and eyes like swords, quietly emerged from the mirror and landed on the cloud platform.

His face was exactly the same as that of the Venerable One in Green Robes!
"This is?"

This scene surprised not only the many Heavenly Spirit cultivators watching, but also the Mahayana cultivators in the sky.

Senior Sister and Cen Qingqing frowned deeply and couldn't help but look at Gu Yuan.

"Something interesting..."

Gu Yuan smiled, revealing a thoughtful expression.

He didn't explain much to the two women, as the method of the Immortal Seal was still a bit too mysterious for them.

He simply said one sentence and revealed the result: "The Crimson Cloud lineage is also cunning. This seal uses fire as a mirror to reflect the enemy cultivator. It can not only obtain the enemy cultivator's methods, but also the enemy cultivator's body. This Azure-Robed Venerable is going to be defeated."

"cut!"

Before Gu Yuan could finish speaking, the Azure-Robed Venerable on the platform unleashed a sword pellet, activated his immortal seal, and, carrying a chilling sword aura that could freeze heaven and earth, slashed fiercely at Venerable Yun Xiao.

However, this sword strike was not delivered with full force, clearly indicating that the attacker was somewhat wary and unaware of the opponent's wondrous immortal seal, thus holding back slightly.

"cut!"

As soon as the Azure-Clad Venerable made a move, the "Azure-Clad Venerable" formed from flames also raised the sword pellet in his hand. Moreover, despite being a body of flames, there was also a surge of cold frost, which turned into a terrifying sword light that froze the heavens and the earth.

"bass!"

However, this fiery body was ultimately just a reflection. The sword light was far inferior to the Azure-Clad Immortal Seal, and it shattered like ice in a single exchange.

The chill is biting, the sword cuts through mountains and rivers.

The "Azure-Robed Venerable" formed from flames was immediately cleaved open by sword energy, the flames dimmed, and his chest was covered in frost.

However, the Venerable One in Green Robes showed no joy on his face; instead, his expression was solemn.

Many Mahayana cultivators on the stage also had their brows furrowed.

All that could be seen was that, at some point, a chilling frost sword aura had appeared on the physical body of the Azure-Clad Venerable, penetrating deep into the bones, almost revealing his internal organs.

The wound that struck the "fake Qingyi" was simultaneously reflected on the Qingyi Venerable's true form.

Although his injuries seemed less severe than those of the "fake blue-robed one," one was merely a body of flames, while the other was a body of flesh and blood; they were simply incomparable.

This scene was exactly what Venerable Yunxiao had expected.

He sat cross-legged on the cloud platform, a golden flame in his palm slowly solidifying into the shape of a flaming longbow.

Not only that, but behind Venerable Yunxiao, a giant fire spirit thousands of feet tall appeared and grabbed the fire longbow in Venerable Yunxiao's palm.

"boom!!"

Above the sky, endless golden flames fell like rain from the sun, instantly filling the world with scorching heat.

"The Green-Clad Sword!"

Upon seeing this, the Azure-Robed Venerable's expression immediately turned solemn. A flash of azure light enveloped her, and her physical body vanished, replaced by a radiant sword pellet.

The sword pellet shone with a deep blue light, like a blue robe.

Clad in green, he moved like the wind, becoming one with his sword.

Abandoning the physical body, they directly kill enemies with sword pellets.

"The Green-Clad Sword!"

But the "fake Qingyi" also let out a light shout, and all the gilded flames turned blue, actually using the exact same move as the Qingyi Venerable.

"Zheng!"

The two sword pellets collided in an instant, like two invisible swordsmen, dressed in green, exchanging blows in the void.

The imposter was no match for the real deal. In the blink of an eye, flames engulfed the area, and the "imposter in green" was defeated.

But as the blue light flashed, the Azure-Clad Venerable revealed his true form, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and a deep sword wound on his neck, which had almost slit his throat.

"boom!!"

Above the sky, the giant fire spirit had already drawn its bow to its fullest extent.

"Fellow Daoist in green robes, if you can break my [Wall Shadow Mirror Immortal Seal], please do so as soon as possible. My Great Sun Rocket cannot wait much longer..."

Venerable Yunxiao sat cross-legged in mid-air and shouted loudly towards the front.

This is not arrogant talk, but sincere sentiment.

Although his Great Sun Rocket takes an extremely long time to charge up, requiring a full nine breaths to condense, its power is truly extraordinary, no less than an ordinary immortal seal strike.

Once released, it will be earth-shattering.

This is merely a contest of martial arts techniques among five sects, not a life-or-death battle. If a winner can be determined, there is no need for him to release this arrow.

Upon hearing this, the Venerable One in Green Robes frowned, a cold glint appearing in his eyes, and a faint light seemed to flicker in his heart.

But after a moment's thought, she gave up.

She possesses a sword capable of severing souls and spirits, but it has not broken through the [Wall Shadow Mirror Seal]. If this sword is unleashed, she may die.

Moreover... if Venerable Yunxiao hadn't held back, she would have already lost by now.

Further entanglement is futile.

"Fellow Daoist, your immortal seal is profound. Let us fight another day!"

She took a deep look at the strange, mirror-like immortal seal, then sheathed her sword pellet and left the cloud platform.

Upon seeing this, Venerable Yunxiao returned the greeting and slowly dispersed the giant flame spirit behind him.

In the second battle, the Crimson Cloud Path emerged victorious!
"puff!"

As soon as the Taoist boy finished chanting the names, a brand new "Ascension Stone" appeared on the cloud platform, suspended in the air.

"Fellow Daoists, please come and fight!"

Yun Xiao Shangzun looked at the "Ascension Stone" with determination in his eyes, then looked up at the sky and loudly challenged him to a duel.

His immortal seal reflects the enemy cultivator, allowing him to summon the enemy's body to fight for him. Most importantly, it can also injure the enemy cultivator, like a wound on the Great Dao, which is unavoidable and extremely mysterious.

With this seal in hand, his combat power is now on a completely different level.

For a moment, all the cultivators in the sky fell silent.

Having witnessed both battles, all of you Mahayana practitioners have now understood.

In today's battle, you either need a Celestial Seal, or an unparalleled magic technique or a supreme treasure; otherwise, it's best not to enter the fray lightly.

You don't even have a Celestial Seal, what are you fighting for!
"I've come to learn from your immortal techniques, fellow Daoist."

After only a few breaths of silence, an aged voice rang out from above the clouds.

"Master!"

Upon hearing this, both Senior Sister and Cen Qingqing raised their eyes, revealing worried expressions.

The person who spoke was none other than Tian Xuanzi, the leader of the Qingcheng lineage.

He was also the master of Gu Yuan and the other two.

"Mr. Lang..."

Although he was just a "cheap master," once a teacher, always a teacher, the two women still looked at Gu Yuan with some worry.

"Hahaha, don't panic. Master is a peerless figure who has refined the Immortal Seal at the Heavenly Spirit Realm. If it were me, even the Clan Master back then couldn't do it. This battle, no, this entire competition, is already won by my Linchuan!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan felt a smile in his mind.

Before Gu Yuan could finish speaking, Tian Xuanzi had already descended from the cloud platform and bowed to Venerable Yun Xiao.

Then, without wasting any time testing each other, they directly unleashed their immortal seals.

"boom!"

Amidst the swirling golden flames, an old man with white hair and beard, holding a whisk, slowly emerged from within the [Wall Shadow Mirror Seal].

It was none other than the likeness of Tian Xuanzi.

This seal is truly mysterious; it instantly revealed the appearance of a completely new Mahayana practitioner.

Tian Xuanzi smiled slightly, and a sharp blade appeared in his palm. Then, to the astonishment of the many Mahayana cultivators, the blade suddenly slashed down, cutting off all four of Tian Xuanzi's limbs!
Blood splattered everywhere, limbs flew everywhere, and the Cloud Platform was instantly filled with the stench of blood.

"This is……"

While Mahayana cultivators could remain calm, many Celestial Spirit cultivators were already getting restless.

This scene was quite bizarre and no longer resembled the orthodox path of Taoism.

However, the figures of the five lineage masters remained motionless in the sky. Although everyone was surprised, they could only suppress their shock.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

The severed limbs and the pervasive blood aura vaguely transformed into four blood demons in the air, emitting cackling laughter as they roared towards Venerable Yun Xiao.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

As expected of a celestial seal, the Biying Yijian Seal actually followed Tian Xuanzi's example, severing its limbs and transforming into a blood demon to meet the attack.

"Tear!"

But the imposter is no match for the real one. The "imposter Tianxuan" was no match for him and was defeated in an instant, his heart being torn out.

All these injuries were naturally reflected on Tianxuan himself.

But Tian Xuanzi's expression remained unchanged. A jewel-green immortal seal above his head emitted divine light, and all his injuries were healed in an instant.

A blurry immortal seal also appeared above the head of the "fake Tianxuan," emitting divine light. However, the imposter was not as good as the real one, and the seal's power was not an imitation of the immortal seal. Immediately, only a faint divine light fell.

The "fake Tianxuan" flames remained dim, with only a very small amount of light remaining.

This was completely different from Tian Xuanzi's unharmed appearance.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Tian Xuanzi smiled slightly, and the sharp blade fell, severing his own limbs once again.

"puff!"

The stench of blood grew stronger and stronger. Moreover, Tian Xuanzi's blood essence surged forth, almost dyeing the sky red.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

The Blood Demon grew increasingly rampant, its arrogant laughter echoing as it viciously attacked Venerable Yun Xiao, bringing with it a rain of blood.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

The imposter Tianxuan also tried to imitate Tianxuanzi.

But in just a moment, the flames around it dimmed, unable to hold on, and vanished on the spot.

The imposter Tianxuan vanished, and a mysterious force, like a wound on the Great Dao, landed on Tianxuanzi.

"puff!"

Tian Xuanzi immediately coughed up blood, almost vomiting out his internal organs. His face was as pale as paper, as if he had suffered a fatal injury and was on the verge of death.

But as long as I don't die, nothing else matters.

"Shh!"

The Glazed Medicine Master Immortal Seal emitted divine light, and his injuries were instantly healed. His complexion became rosy, as if he had never been injured.

This scene caused Venerable Yunxiao's expression to change drastically. Ignoring the nine breaths of time, he gave a soft shout, and the giant fire spirit behind him suddenly released the bowstring.

The bowstring is not fully drawn, yet it possesses unparalleled divine power.

A dazzling arrow of the sun, carrying terrifying heat capable of piercing through the void, suddenly struck Tian Xuanzi.

"Squeak!"

The crimson demons that lingered around the cloud platform were unable to resist this power and were all reduced to ashes and annihilated. The arrows continued to shoot towards Tian Xuanzi with undiminished force.

Seeing this, Tian Xuanzi smiled slightly, showing no panic. He simply reached down to his back and slowly pulled, as if drawing a sword.

But what he pulled out was not a sword, but his own spine.

Hot blood mingled with the stark white bones.

This scene is even more demonic than the Demonic Path.

But it possesses boundless power.

The white bone spine lashed out like a divine whip, scattering the arrow's light and sending a golden rain of fire through the air.

Then, with undiminished momentum, it continued to strike at the head of Venerable Yunxiao.

The white bones stand starkly against the void, revealing the might of Yama, the King of Hell.

The outcome of the third match was already a foregone conclusion.
