I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 680 All Laws Die, Gu Yuan Obtains Four Stones
The light of the flint, tracing back to its origin, is the cause of the inverted three breaths.

The pillar of the Linchuan Daoist lineage, a figure who was considered a "rod" in the mid-stage of the Mahayana path, thus fell.

The sky fell silent.

The Heavenly Spirit cultivators watching the battle could hardly perceive the mystery, but when they saw the Golden Light Venerable suddenly spit out blood and be defeated by the cause of death in three breaths, they were all shocked.

"The Supreme Lord Li Yao, the Crimson Cloud Dao Vein has obtained two stones!"

For a moment, only the voice of the Taoist boy rang out above the cloud platform.

"call!"

As a gentle breeze stirred, Venerable Li Yao and Venerable Jin Guang reappeared on the cloud platform. However, one was beaming with pride, bowing respectfully, while the other was pale-faced, with traces of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"You flatter me, senior brother!"

Venerable Li Yao maintained a smiling expression as he spoke to Venerable Jin Guang.

"Being outmatched in skill, the defeat is not unjust..."

Venerable Jin Guang took a deep breath, the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth disappeared, and his breathing returned slightly. He shook his head and smiled bitterly before turning and leaving.

His transformation of the immortal seal and his efforts to resolve the world's problems are already unparalleled and wondrous methods.

Unexpectedly, Venerable Li Yao had already cultivated two immortal seals, and the second immortal seal was even better than his.

The world is indeed full of magical techniques...

He felt helpless, but not too upset, since he had already achieved more than half of his goal for this trip.

As long as we can conquer Chenhui, even if it's not Linchuan leading the team, that's enough.

However, as he turned around, his gaze lingered on the Mahayana cultivators atop his own cloud formation.

Dong Yuan, Zhang Xuanzhou, Gu Yuan...

His eyes flickered slightly, but ultimately lingered on Gu Yuan for a moment.

He knew Dongyuan's strength. Although the Immortal Seal was quite profound, it was definitely inferior to that of Venerable Liyao.

Zhang Xuanzhou broke through to the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm, cultivating both bodies simultaneously, making him exceptionally strong. However, he had only been cultivating in the Mahayana realm for a short time, and he had only heard of the immortal seals he cultivated, so victory was still a distant dream.

Only Gu Yuan... joined Chenhui, traveled everywhere, and even helped Tian Xuanzi obtain immortal materials. His strength is the most mysterious.

However, since everyone had witnessed the battle, he wouldn't force anyone to enter. He simply returned to his cloud formation, closed his eyes to regulate his breathing, and said no more.

"Fellow Daoists, please offer your guidance!"

On the cloud platform, Venerable Li Yao surveyed the sky and loudly challenged him to a duel.

However, there was a hint of smugness in his eyes.

One person, two immortal seals, both of them are of superior quality. Although there are many Mahayana practitioners in the Five Lineages, how many can defeat him?

Seeing this, Gu Yuan didn't say anything more, but slowly got up under the worried gazes of the two women.

The Crimson Cloud Dao Clan has even dispatched someone of this caliber. If this drags on any longer, allowing them to seize even more Ascension Stones, that would be disastrous.

"what?"

But just as he stood up, a handsome Taoist from the Jade Cauldron Taoist lineage, with a face like jade and sword-like eyebrows that slanted upwards into his temples, also slowly rose up.

Both of them were somewhat surprised, seemingly not expecting that Venerable Li Yao would display such powerful methods, and that a Mahayana cultivator would dare to step in.

However, the flame in Gu Yuan's eyes flashed and then disappeared, and he gently shook his head: "Senior Brother Xie, you are no match for Senior Brother Li Yao. How about I fight him first?"

The one who rose to prominence through the Jade Cauldron Daoist lineage was named Xie Chang'an.

He broke through to the Mahayana stage two thousand years ago, possessing extremely profound magical power. Now, he is a "pillar" of the Jade Cauldron Dao lineage in the mid-Mahayana stage, holding a prestigious position. He has also cultivated a Celestial Seal and a top-tier divine power in the mortal realm. He naturally possesses pride, otherwise he would not have stood up.

Compared to Gu Yuan, he was far more experienced.

Upon hearing Gu Yuan's words, his expression remained unchanged, but a hint of displeasure rose in his heart.

“I have long heard of Junior Brother Gu’s name, but how many years have you cultivated? How could you…”

But before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed drastically. He abruptly closed his eyes, and rays of light appeared around him. Above his head, a jade cauldron radiating divine light appeared.

But at this moment, a black thundercloud appeared on the jade cauldron, seemingly out of nowhere.

Above the thunderclouds, the aura of calamity permeated the air, filled with an indescribable terror.

Those who witnessed Mahayana's expression all changed.

Calamity clouds?!
"boom!"

A faint rumble of thunder sounded, and streaks of gray lightning suddenly struck down, hitting the jade cauldron.

The jade cauldron was surrounded by a bright, celestial light, and its surface was imbued with Daoist charm—it was clearly a celestial seal!
However, even the Immortal Seal could not withstand the bombardment of the tribulation lightning. Amidst mournful cries, its immortal light dimmed, and it fell directly back into Xie Chang'an's dantian, disappearing without a trace.

Before the Immortal Seal was even unleashed, it had already lost its power, like a stillborn baby.

This scene not only shocked the onlookers, but also left Xie Chang'an utterly astonished. He suddenly looked up at Gu Yuan.

"What... kind of immortal seal is this?"

His throat bobbed, and his voice was hoarse.

Divine punishment!

He sensed a powerful force of divine retribution, a terrifying force that seemed to be unacceptable to heaven and earth, and that everything should disappear.

The person in the cloud opposite is the one who wields divine punishment.

If this person doesn't speak, all the immortal seals will be difficult to leave the dantian!

Since he cultivated the Immortal Seal, he has fought against several fellow disciples in the Dao lineage. Each Immortal Seal has its own unique strengths and is extraordinary. This is the first time that he has been unable to unleash his Immortal Seal, and even the slightest bit of its power.

"Please wait a moment, Senior Brother Xie. You will know once I have defeated Senior Brother Li Yao."

Gu Yuan smiled slightly, bowed, and then gracefully descended onto the cloud platform like a gentle breeze.

Xie Chang'an exhaled a breath of stale air, but no longer offered any resistance.

Without even the Immortal Seal, what is there for him to fight for?

This scene was witnessed by many Heavenly Spirit cultivators, and their eyes were filled with excitement.

The strongest mid-stage Mahayana cultivator of the Jade Cauldron Dao Clan was defeated without even having a chance to fight back. There is no need to elaborate on how terrifying this Venerable Donghua is.

Another fierce battle is about to begin!

……

……

On the cloud platform, Venerable Li Yao also saw all of this, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.

Upon seeing Gu Yuan enter, he immediately smiled and said, "It seems that Junior Brother is now the true pillar of Linchuan."

"Senior brother, you flatter me. I only have one or two skills that are just enough to fight you."

Gu Yuan bowed slightly and said with a light laugh.

"Is that the immortal technique that Junior Brother just used?"

"Even my Immortal Seal can be restrained?"

Li Yao Shangzun narrowed his eyes and asked, while waving his sleeve. The Crimson Void Realm Immortal Seal flew out suddenly, transforming into a triangular shape. With each opening and closing, it swallowed up heaven and earth, trying to absorb Gu Yuan into it.

Gu Yuan just laughed: "Of course it can restrain Senior Brother's seal!"

"Boom!"

Before Gu Yuan could make any move, a thick dark cloud suddenly appeared on the Crimson Void Realm Immortal Seal.

Above the dark clouds, bolts of lightning struck down fiercely.

This tribulation lightning seemed to have fallen from the very beginning of the world, chaotic and domineering, carrying an indescribable "power of divine retribution".

All laws are subject to the test of divine retribution.

If one can defeat it, one can manifest in the world; if one cannot defeat it, one cannot utter a single word.

"Buzz buzz buzz!" Under the bombardment of the tribulation lightning, the Crimson Void Realm Immortal Seal trembled and let out a mournful cry. However, it could not withstand the attack for a moment and fell back into the dantian of Venerable Li Yao.

Venerable Li Yao's expression changed slightly.

Without a second thought, he pointed and summoned the Flintlight Tracing the Beginning Immortal Seal.

"Boom!"

However, as soon as this seal appeared, before it could unleash its power, a black cloud of tribulation appeared out of thin air and landed on the seal.

Immortal seals are all domineering.

The same applies to the prohibition of all magic thunder spirit immortal body seals.

All laws must undergo the test of "divine retribution" before they can be "born" and possess the power to command heaven and earth.

Even if the Immortal Seal is stronger than the Immortal Body Seal that suppresses all laws and lightning, it still has to go through this process.

"boom!"

In an instant, lightning struck, hitting the Flintlight Tracing the Beginning Immortal Seal.

"clang!"

But when the thunder struck, the seal only emitted a metallic clang.

Its surface shone with dazzling celestial light and flowing celestial mist. It not only did not dim in the slightest, but even glowed with a fluorescent light, as if it were about to come alive.

"Hahaha, true gold fears no fire!"

"Junior brother, your immortal seal is indeed powerful, but it's still not enough to defeat me!"

Upon seeing this, Venerable Li Yao burst into laughter, his previously solemn expression becoming relaxed.

"Crash!"

Just as Venerable Li Yao was laughing, a strong force of time flowed, and in the darkness, Gu Yuan felt as if three breaths of his life were about to be stolen.

Within his dantian, the Seal of Yesterday trembled rapidly, and the Shadow of Time and Shadow wanted to fly out and stop everything.

But the flow of time is even more powerful; time itself trembles and dares not move.

Yesterday, the seal failed, but Gu Yuan's expression remained calm, though his gaze was deep as he glanced at the Suiguang Suochu Immortal Seal.

This seal was originally dazzling and radiant, capable of manipulating three breaths of time, reversing cause and effect, and exerting its power in the long river of time that no one could see.

But when Gu Yuan glanced at it, the seal trembled, and then a corner of the four seal characters "Sui Guang Su Chu" at the bottom suddenly disappeared.

The immortal patterns arise spontaneously, like the imprint of the Great Dao, the essence of an imprint, and the key to its divine power.

But now, with the immortal runes missing and the Dao inscriptions incomplete, it's like a giant building collapsing, and all its great power is lost amidst silent lamentations.

The river of time ceases to flow, and the cause of the inverted three breaths is immediately brought to a conclusion.

Silence returned to everything.

Gu Yuan stood atop the cloud platform, hands behind his back, his hair flying in the wind. Combined with his sharply defined features and dark eyebrows, he truly looked like an immortal.

Meanwhile, Venerable Li Yao turned pale and hurriedly recalled the Sui Guang Su Chu Immortal Seal.

The immortal patterns on it are incomplete, as if they were naturally formed, without any trace of carving or axe work.

But it was precisely this that made Venerable Li Yao worry. He couldn't help but look up at Gu Yuan and hurriedly said, "Junior Brother's Immortal Seal is powerful. I have lost this battle. Please withdraw your divine power immediately!"

The Five Meridians' Battle of the Five Meridians is merely a contest to determine who is the "leader," a peaceful and harmonious competition among the mystical sects.

If he loses openly and honestly, it's because he's less skilled, and no one can say anything against him.

Even if you lose, it's just a matter of saving face.

The Immortal Seal must not be lost!
This is the foundation!
Without the Immortal Seal, how can we conquer the New World?!
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan simply chuckled and said, "Senior brother, don't panic, it's only temporary."

After speaking, he waved his sleeve, and the light of the sapphire shone through the Immortal Seal. The incomplete immortal patterns were restored as if a broken mirror had been mended, and they were once again perfectly round and unified.

"call!"

"Junior brother, your magic is truly amazing!"

Upon seeing the Immortal Seal restored, Venerable Li Yao breathed a long sigh of relief.

If the Immortal Seal were lost, he would truly fight Gu Yuan to the death.

"Junior brother, what kind of immortal seal is this?!"

His battle with Gu Yuan didn't seem particularly dangerous, but it was a contest for Immortal Seal Rank, where victory or defeat was decided in an instant. It was a real, close-quarters fight where the winner would take all and the loser would lose everything.

He was the loser.

Although he still possessed considerable skill, he knew that it was all in vain.

Even the Immortal Seal couldn't withstand the power of that heavenly punishment; how could the other Dharma Seals possibly stand a chance?
Only after fighting once and personally experiencing the power of Gu Yuanxian Seal did he understand why Xie Chang'an, despite clearly possessing great supernatural abilities, did not use them.

In front of this person, not a single word can be uttered!

What he wants to know now is what kind of immortal seal has forced him into this situation.
"Since Senior Brother wants to know, Junior Brother naturally cannot hide his ignorance..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan did not hide anything, after all, this battle could be considered a "thorough investigation of the Xuanhuang Immortal Seal".

"boom!"

At that moment, a thought crossed his mind, and two immortal seals leaped out from above his head. One was dazzling with lightning, like a chaotic thundercloud condensed together, while the other was shimmering with starlight. It had marks of being carved by knives and axes, but it resembled the traces of the Great Dao, exuding a domineering aura that made heaven and earth tremble.

Absolutely prohibit all laws!

The Seal of a Remnant Immortal!

On the two immortal seals, the seal script flows like clouds, seemingly born of heaven and earth, displaying endless immortal charm.

"Fellow Daoists, is there anyone else who wishes to accept the challenge?"

Gu Yuan smiled and looked at the mid-stage Mahayana cultivators in the sky.

When the many Mahayana practitioners met Gu Yuan's gaze, they all looked away, not daring to meet his eyes.

Crimson Void Realm, Shadow-Painting Realm, Flintlight Tracing the Beginning... each one is an extremely powerful immortal seal, yet the ultimate victor is still Gu Yuan. This strength is beyond doubt.

Although Gu Yuan's attack lacked overwhelming power or spectacular celestial phenomena, everyone knew that... before this man, all laws paled in comparison.

There is no way to avoid repair.

If they can't even print it out, how can they win?
"The Venerable One of Donghua, the Daoist lineage of Linchuan obtained four stones!"

After Gu Yuan defeated Li Yao Shangzun, the Daoist boy did not announce it. Gu Yuan then challenged everyone to a duel. Naturally, the Daoist boy did not dare to interrupt Gu Yuan, so he waited until everyone was silent before announcing Gu Yuan's victory.

"I hope to travel with my junior brother in the New Territories!"

Li Yao Shangzun bowed and then left first. Gu Yuan returned the bow and then led the four Ascending Stones back to the cloud.

"Young master, you are truly a man of divine appearance!"

As soon as Gu Yuan returned to the cloud, Cen Qingqing couldn't wait to send a telepathic message, her tone filled with pride and a sense of honor.

How could she have imagined that the "husband" she followed would have such charm?
He looks down upon the mid-stages of Mahayana Buddhism, traverses the vast universe, and will even open up new realms. This is truly the ideal husband!

The senior sister didn't say a word, but her pink eyes were fixed on Gu Yuan without blinking, full of tenderness.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan simply chuckled and said to the two women, "A celestial beauty? This is just the appetizer."

"An appetizer?"

"What do you mean by that, sir?"

Cen Qingqing looked up and asked in surprise.

"We'll see."

Gu Yuan shook his head slightly, offering no further explanation, but his eyes remained deep as he gazed at the top of the sky.

The later stages of Mahayana Buddhism are when the real battles begin.

This time, in his conquest of the New Territories, he is determined to help Lin Chuan become the ruler.
