I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 683 Forbidden Technique: The Remnant Immortal Devours Divine Fire, Victory!
With their aura blazing and the Three Immortal Seals hovering in the air, this scene caused everyone present to change color.

Even in the sky, the divine avatars of the five lineage masters couldn't help but take a deep look at Gu Yuan.

"Junior Brother Gu!"

"You've already reached the late stage of Mahayana cultivation; how can your previous battles be considered?"

"Could it be that one person can fight two battles at once? If so, wouldn't the Five Families Dharma Assembly be thrown into chaos?"

But immediately after the initial shock, someone spoke up in a cold voice.

"I am not a late-stage Mahayana practitioner; I merely obtained this kind of vital energy by relying on the power of the mind realm."

Faced with the questioning, Gu Yuan did not get angry. He simply reached out and plucked a "crimson heart" directly from his own chest.

As soon as the "Crimson Heart" appeared, Gu Yuan's qi and blood plummeted. Although it was still magnificent and soared into the sky, it was only at the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm, not the late-stage.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

In his hand, the "crimson heart" was still beating, and faintly, one could hear the sound of the world trembling.

This scene caused everyone's expression to change drastically.

The person before me is indeed in the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm, but he has the means to enhance his combat power to the late-stage of the Mahayana realm.

The current meaning is to use the middle stage of Mahayana Buddhism to overthrow the late stage of Mahayana Buddhism?

However, considering what this person said before... that's indeed the case.

If I had such vital energy, how could I not fight this immortal seal again?
Otherwise, wouldn't it be like wearing fine clothes in the dark? And how could this Five Lineages Dharma Assembly truly live up to its name?
If someone like me can't even participate in the battle, what's the point of this Dharma assembly?
For a moment, everyone fell silent.

In this light, Gu Yuan's statement is indeed correct.

I am in the mid-stage of Mahayana and possess the combat power of the late-stage Mahayana. What's wrong with me experiencing the skills of my fellow disciples?
But some people still frowned, feeling resentful.

It's illogical for one person to fight two matches alone.

Since you have such combat power, just fight the final battle directly. Why bother toying with the fellow Daoist Chixia who is in the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm?

"Since you want to fight, then go ahead."

"I'll come back later."

"If Junior Brother wins both battles, I will have no objection. Linchuan truly deserves the title..."

"If we lose, I imagine Linchuan will have no face to lead the three clans."

The barefoot youth from the Crimson Cloud Dao Clan didn't say much, but simply gave Gu Yuan a deep look and agreed to two duels.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan laughed heartily: "Of course!"

To conquer the New Territories, one must naturally win the hearts and minds of the people.

He knew that some people would disagree with his decision to fight twice.

However, he could defeat both of them by fighting alone in the late-stage Mahayana realm.

Then there will be no dissatisfaction.

That's why he spoke first.

Venerable Jiuchuan witnessed all of this but said nothing, which can be considered as tacit agreement.

In the first two matches, the Qingcheng lineage emerged victorious. Now, with Gu Yuan appearing again at the late-stage Mahayana realm, he was speechless.

After the agreement was made, the other Mahayana cultivators nodded slightly, indicating their approval of the method.

Ultimately, everything is determined by strength.

After all, if Gu Yuan really wins and succeeds in his comeback, even if he is dissatisfied, he won't say much.

But... can he really defeat the Supreme Lord of Jade Capital?
All eyes were fixed on the cloud platform, and they stared at it intently.

……

……

Gu Yuan took a step forward, and the world seemed to be just a stone's throw away. The fiery barrier above the clouds could not stop him in the slightest, allowing him to enter the platform.

"Junior brother, you truly have remarkable skills. At such a young age, you have already encountered such an opportunity..."

The Supreme Lord of Jade Capital had witnessed everything from the Cloud Platform without uttering a word, but now that Gu Yuan was standing opposite him, he finally spoke with emotion.

The power of the mind realm plus the Three Immortal Seals.

Such tactics certainly warrant a showdown on the stage.

Otherwise, if people see such a person when they conquer the New Territories in the future, but do not participate in a magic contest, they will truly doubt the level of the magic contest.

"Greetings, senior brother!"

Gu Yuan bowed and said with a smile.

The Venerable Jade Capital returned the greeting, then his expression turned solemn. Without holding back, he spoke loudly and directly, calling out his name: "Donghua!"

"jingle!"

As soon as the Venerable Jade Capital rang out, the octagonal golden bell under the eaves of the Jade Palace suddenly rang, and a mysterious force surged forth, attacking Gu Yuan.

"Senior brother, I'm here!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan smiled slightly and bowed in response.

The Supreme Lord of Jade Capital narrowed his eyes slightly.

Gu Yuan responded, but his soul remained unharmed and his mind was sharp; he was completely unaffected by the "name-calling bell."

On the contrary, a black cloud of calamity suddenly rose above this bell at some unknown time.

"Boom!"

Fine lightning bolts fell like a light rain, striking the Naming Bell. All the spiritual energy and celestial charm were locked away by the thunderclouds, unable to escape.

"bell!"

Moreover, as the lightning struck, the bell emitted a mournful cry, its celestial patterns dimmed, and its eight corners softened, hanging under the eaves like a withered golden flower, completely losing its power.

"Is this your seal that severs all magic?"

The Venerable Jade Capital was slightly surprised and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.

He had seen Gu Yuan use this technique before and thought it was mysterious, but he never expected it to be even more powerful than he had imagined.

He had already activated the "Name-Calling Bell" in advance. Logically speaking, once the bell rang, its power would immediately manifest, and Gu Yuan should have been affected by the "Name-Calling Stiffness".

Unexpectedly, the golden bell rang, and great power was generated, but it was still forcibly trapped and locked back by the lightning tribulation.

Within this person's body, there seems to be a deity who governs heaven and earth, and all seals and techniques cannot be released without the deity's permission. Even if they are released, they must undergo "testing" to have their power rejected.

This is a celestial seal of extremely high status.

"Senior Brother's Jade Capital Immortal Seal is of a very high rank, and I, as his junior brother, cannot resist it. I can only use Senior Brother's various immortal techniques to show off my power."

Gu Yuan smiled slightly, but his eyes held a chilling power.

"Please give me some advice, Senior Brother!"

"boom!!"

With a flick of his sleeve, as if a god were enraged, black clouds began to float on the windowsills and beams of the jade palace.

Then the lightning struck, rapidly hitting the window sill and the rainbow beam.

Both of these are transformed from celestial materials, and are "transformations of celestial techniques." However, at this moment, calamity is rampant, and heaven and earth are banishing them, as if they are "extremely evil things" and are not allowed to be born.

Suppress all laws and thunder spirit immortal body seals!
Immortal seals are all domineering, possessing unparalleled power within their own immortal path.

This is exactly what the Immortal Body Seal of the Thunder Spirit, which is currently forbidden from all laws, is like.

It could not completely suppress the "Jade Capital Thunder Pivot Immortal Seal," but all the immortal techniques within the seal were of a lower rank and could be suppressed by it.

"Om!!"

Starlight flowed above the window sill, and countless dazzling stars appeared, like the Milky Way stretching far and wide, trying their best to avoid the lightning tribulation.

"Boom!"

However, the immortal techniques within this jade palace are all condensed from immortal materials, and their status is inherently inferior. They might be able to put up a fight against ordinary magic seals.

But it's still not enough against someone like Gu Yuan, who has only been born with the Thunderous Immortal Seal for half a lifetime.

"boom!"

The galaxy shattered, the celestial light dissipated, and all the spiritual energy above the window sill vanished, leaving it as ordinary as a mortal object.

The Star Sea Heaven-Severing Technique of the Jade Capital Thunder Pivot Immortal Seal is forbidden!

"Boom!"

Moreover, lightning simultaneously condensed and landed on the rainbow beam.

A golden dragon phantom floated, letting out a long roar. Its scales shimmered, and it tried its best to devour all the lightning and refine itself. The already bright rainbow beam became even more dazzling.

"boom!!"

But the power of divine retribution is no small matter; it is a destructive force that reaches even the very source.

The Golden Armored Flood Dragon Celestial Jade was originally an ancient material used to create the Demon Seal. If the Supreme Lord of Jade Capital could use this jade to reshape the Celestial Seal, it might be able to withstand the power of divine retribution.

However, using the Jade Capital Immortal Seal to gather immortal materials and develop immortal techniques is ultimately a step behind.

"boom!"

After the utmost brilliance comes destruction.

The golden dragon exploded, its scales turning into streams of light, and the spiritual light above the entire rainbow beam dissipated like the wind, returning to silence.

The Golden Dragon Soaring Heaven Technique of the Jade Capital Thunder Pivot Immortal Seal is forbidden!

In just a moment, the situation changed drastically.

The magnificent Jade Capital Palace, which was originally filled with the magic of the Three Immortals, with flowing immortal clouds and dazzling brilliance, suddenly dimmed, as if the sun had lost its radiance and its color.

The window sills and rainbow beams are still there, and the auspicious clouds and thunder patterns remain, but they have lost their "celestial charm" and are no different from earthly palaces.

"So powerful?!"

Above, the Mahayana cultivators watching all felt a tremor in their hearts.

Originally, Gu Yuan couldn't detect much of the power in the mid-stage Mahayana battle.

But now, facing this renowned and extremely high-ranking immortal seal of Xuanhuang, the fact that the restrictive technique still possesses such formidable power is truly terrifying. Just who is the Jade Capital Supreme Venerable?
The one who holds the reins of the Mahayana lineage of the Hunyuan Dao!
If even someone of this stature cannot cast spells in front of Gu Yuan, how many people in the world can call themselves "magic cultivators" in his presence?
On the cloud platform, the Jade Capital Venerable's expression remained calm. He simply said in a low voice, "Junior Brother's suppression of all magic is indeed profound. However, even without the aid of immortal magic, my Jade Capital Immortal Seal, after being tempered for so long, still possesses unparalleled defense. Junior Brother, you might as well try to attack."

This is the truth.

Even without any magical enhancements, the Jade Capital Immortal Seal, simply built from rare and precious materials, is a treasure capable of defending against all kinds of spells.

However, a real fire burned in Gu Yuan's eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Does Senior Brother really think that way?"

Gu Yuan chuckled lightly, and immortal clouds flowed above his head. The Remnant Immortal Seal shone brightly, and a beam of divine light suddenly shot out, illuminating the Jade Capital Venerable.

The Jade Emperor's expression suddenly changed, and nine hundred and ninety-nine glazed jade tiles floated around him, trying to block the divine light.

But all in vain.

This divine light's status surpasses even the seal that forbids all laws, making it difficult for any law to obstruct it.

"Crack!"

Within the body of the Jade Emperor, a sound of shattering glass suddenly rang out, as if something extraordinary had cracked.

"Senior brother, I will certainly break the Jade Capital Immortal Seal, but I will also break your immortal treasure!"

Gu Yuan laughed loudly, his hair flying, and a cloud of mist exploded behind him.

"boom!!"

Amidst the endless mist, a thousand-foot-tall hand instantly materialized, its five fingers clenching as if heaven and earth were closing in, and suddenly attacked the Jade Capital Venerable.

The Venerable Jade Capital's expression immediately darkened.

He already knew from Gu Yuan's previous magical duel that Gu Yuan possessed a Celestial Seal called the Remnant Celestial Seal.

This seal is even more powerful than the one that prohibits all laws; it can destroy an enemy's object out of thin air.

Heaven and earth are incomplete, and even immortals are crippled.

This is the "Tao" of that seal.

Knowing that the Jade Capital Immortal Seal would be no match for his opponent, he immediately wanted to use the remaining power of the seal to "exchange pieces" with Gu Yuan's incomplete Immortal Seal, and then win with his trump card.

Everyone knows that he only cultivated one Immortal Seal, which is indeed true, but after removing the Immortal Seal, he still has another method.

The Broken Sword that Cuts Through the Heavens!

Although this damaged celestial treasure has greatly diminished its power, it still possesses formidable might in the mortal realm, surpassing even many Mahayana celestial seals in strength.

It was his trump card.

But he didn't expect that before he could even unleash this treasure, Gu Yuan would see through it and destroy it with the Remnant Immortal Seal.

How does this person know what's on their mind?

A question arose in the mind of the Jade Capital Monk, but he had no time to think about it further.

"Boom!"

A massive hand, thousands of feet long, clenched its five fingers, carrying the force of wind and thunder, seemingly annihilating the void itself.

But at this moment, the Jade Capital Venerable also hardened his heart.

"It's just a Celestial Seal Exchange!"

"I still have the means in Jade Capital to break your last immortal seal!"

With the roar of the Jade Capital Venerable, thousands of thunderbolts suddenly appeared in the Jade Capital Palace, which was originally dimly lit.

The Jade Capital Immortal Seal is truly an extremely superior immortal seal.

This seal can not only generate immortal techniques and evade all kinds of calamities, but also has a "thunder pivot" within it that can collect countless incoming techniques and strike them back with thunder.

"boom!!!"

At this moment, within the jade palace, a thunder pool had appeared out of nowhere. Countless bolts of lightning danced within the pool, and faint glimpses of gales, illusions, turbulent currents, and heavenly tribulations could be seen...

All the incoming attacks transformed into lightning, which also coalesced into a pair of giant hands, fiercely meeting the white jade hand in the sky.

"Your Immortal Seal is merely a minor one; my Thunder Pivot, too, possesses the power of an Immortal Seal. Let's see who can prevail!"

The Jade Emperor's hair flew wildly, and all his magical power surged forth, falling into the Thunder Pivot.

"boom!"

The surging magical power also transformed into thunder, with countless bolts of lightning surging, resembling five thunder dragons transforming into giant hands, booming incessantly.

By collecting countless incoming attacks and converging them into the Thunder Pivot, coupled with the combined magical power of the Jade Capital Supreme, this Thunder Hand truly possessed the power of an Immortal Seal.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan simply chuckled. In his dantian, the little thunder spirit pointed his finger, and the killing moves Star Spirit, Purple Heaven Thunder Immortal Prison Seal, Innate Taiyi Divine Thunder Seal, Immortal Fist Seal, and even the Heart Realm Fire all surged forth and fell into the Innate One Qi Capture Seal.

"boom!!"

Two large hands collided in mid-air.

At first glance, the two seemed evenly matched, and there was a moment of silence in the void.

"boom!"

But in just a moment, a tremendous roar resounded through the sky.

The lightning shattered and vanished in an instant. The misty hand, like the palm of a god, suddenly clenched, as if the sky were closing in, and the entire Jade Capital Pavilion was held in its palm.

The purple aura surged, and the power that could crush heaven and earth floated still under the master's will.

Heaven and earth fell silent as well.

"Brother, how are you?"

In the silence, Gu Yuan's voice rang out.

"I am unworthy of being called 'Senior Brother'..."

After a long while, a faint voice finally rang out from within the misty giant hand.

"May the Supreme Lord of Donghua be victorious!"

As soon as this sound was uttered, the Taoist boy's shout immediately followed.

The misty hand vanished as if it had never existed, revealing a crumbling jade palace and the ashen-faced Jade Emperor.

"Senior Brother Yan Yang?"

Gu Yuan simply turned his head and looked at the barefoot boy with a profound aura above the cloud.

Crimson Cloud Dao Lineage, Supreme Venerable of the Blazing Sun, the most powerful figure of his generation in the Crimson Cloud Dao lineage.

The later stage of Mahayana Buddhism!

But today, this top figure of Xuanhuang has begun to hesitate.

When Gu Yuan first spoke, his "Wait a minute" was offensive, but now it's "polite."

To fight or not to fight?

To defeat Gu Yuan, one would need at least two extremely superior immortal seals: one to resist the forbidden and the other to resist the remnant immortal... Only then would there be a sliver of a chance to compete with Gu Yuan's third immortal seal.

He certainly possesses the Immortal Seal.

However, he wasn't sure if he could withstand the forbidden and the broken immortal.

In addition, he also possesses a damaged immortal treasure, but whether it can kill a late-stage Mahayana cultivator's physical body with a single blow is uncertain.

But avoiding battle is not his style.

"I have a seal. If you, junior brother, can defeat it with a forbidden technique, then the Crimson Cloud lineage will naturally follow Linchuan's lead in conquering the New World!"

After a moment's thought, Venerable Yanyang spoke.

"Please enlighten me, senior brother!"

Gu Yuan smiled.

"Junior brother, watch carefully!"

As Venerable Yanyang's voice became solemn, three balls of fire erupted from above his head. The scorching flames did not burn the void, but they caused all the surrounding cultivators to change their expressions drastically, feeling their bodies burning hot.

Immortal Seal, Samadhi Divine Fire!
Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow, and then a thick cloud of tribulation appeared.

"boom!!"

As lightning struck, the power of divine retribution manifested, but this Samadhi Divine Fire Seal was extraordinary. Although it had been baptized by lightning, the flames only dimmed slightly and were not completely extinguished.

Venerable Yan Yang narrowed his eyes immediately.

Is this seal immune to the power of all forbidden laws?

Seeing this, Gu Yuan simply smiled slightly, then opened his mouth and inhaled. The three balls of firelight instantly flowed into his mouth like clouds, and then settled into his heart.

Seeing this, Venerable Yanyang did not stop them, but simply watched quietly.

But just two breaths later, seeing that Gu Yuan remained motionless, he sighed slightly, knowing that the outcome was already decided.

"Junior brother, your skills are excellent. There's no need to continue this battle. Just unleash the divine fire."

"Brother, thank you for letting me!"

Gu Yuan smiled slightly, exhaled divine fire, and bowed.

"Wow!"

A commotion suddenly arose from both sides of the platform.

They won?

That's it?

Could someone in the middle stage of Mahayana Buddhism truly defeat two late-stage Mahayana practitioners in a battle?

Some were excited, some were moved, and some felt bitter.

But everything must eventually come to an end.

"Fellow disciples, are there any others who wish to accept the challenge?"

Gu Yuan looked around at the sky and asked in a loud voice.

The sky was silent, no one answered, not even anyone made eye contact.
