I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 693 Two Corpses of Good and Evil, A Seal that Turns Misfortune into Good Fortune!
"hold head high!"

A long chant echoed in the darkness, and black energy floated like waves.

The sound had no physical form, yet it resounded throughout the void, carrying an indescribable sense of exhilaration, as if someone who had been bound for a long time had finally regained their freedom.

"call!"

Moreover, a long, drawn-out breathing sound echoed in the darkness, like a whale spewing water, rippling through the void and lingering for a long time.

"This is……"

"The Immortal-Slaying Gourd failed?"

As the darkness grew ever denser and the eerie cries echoing from the void rose, Venerable Zhongyu's expression changed drastically, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Do not……"

"The Immortal-Slaying Gourd will not fail; the stone dragon's head has already been severed in two, and its soul has dissipated..."

Gu Yuan shook his head, looking at the bottomless cave with a solemn expression.

"The Immortal-Slaying Gourd didn't fail? The Stone Dragon is dead, so what is this strange phenomenon...?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Zhongyu's face also turned solemn.

"who are you?"

"Wuya?"

Gu Yuan did not answer, but looked into the darkness and asked in a deep voice.

After unleashing that sword strike, he could clearly feel the stone dragon's soul dissipate and its aura vanish. However, in the darkness, a completely new aura quietly emerged.

Moreover, although the stone dragon was dead, its terrifying demonic power, which had already reached the level of a half-step eighth-order immortal beast, flowed like clouds and mist, condensing in the darkness without dissipating.

It was this terrifying demonic power that made the dark cavern even deeper, swallowing up all light.

"Crash!"

"hold head high!"

"call!"

But there was no reply from the void.

Only the dark clouds flowed like water, and moreover, two strange breathing sounds echoed continuously in the darkness, as if inhaling and exhaling something.

Accompanied by the sounds of breathing, the energy within the darkness seemed to grow stronger and more vigorous.

Gu Yuan's expression immediately turned serious.

Originally, taking advantage of the opportunity presented by the shockwaves caused by Venerable Jiuchuan and others in the forbidden zone, he sought out the location of the stone dragon, directly unleashing his immortal sword, intending to kill the enemy in one fell swoop and cut through the mess quickly.

After all... this is the power of a celestial treasure, enough to annihilate everything in the mortal realm.

But as soon as he swung his sword, he regretted it.

He felt that he had not destroyed the stone dragon, but rather a shackle.

The shackles have been broken, the darkness is even deeper, and it seems that a more powerful creature is awakening within it.

He intended to summon the Immortal-Slaying Gourd again and unleash another sword strike, or even two, to directly annihilate the dark aura within.

But that sword strike just now left him with a deep shadow.

Everything in the darkness seems like a trap.

The world is turned upside down, chaos reigns, and heaven and earth are imprisoned, yet there is no danger, only a sense of constraint that binds the body and mind, making people impatient and eager to break free from this darkness.

Everything seemed to be aimed at getting him to unleash the divine treasure.

"boom!!"

Just then, a tremendous roar came from the sky again, and an incomparably dazzling spiritual light seemed to shatter the heavens and earth.

The entire darkness suddenly trembled, but as the mist flowed from the depths, the cavern only shook for a moment before slowly ceasing.

The tremors in the sky only lasted a few times before gradually stopping, as if something had stopped them.

"The Mahayana cultivators and great demons of the Chenhui Realm have arrived..."

Gu Yuan thought to himself.

Master Jiuchuan and the others must have been delayed by the Mahayana cultivators of Chenhui New World. If they did not handle this situation properly, they would not be able to break through this forbidden zone in a short time.

However... the Mahayana cultivators and great demons of the Chenhui Realm have come here to compete for the immortal treasures. They are unlikely to be willing to wait in the miasma for long. Before long, they will inevitably enter the miasma, and may even join forces with Jiuchuan and others to break through the desolate valley.

This desolate valley is indeed formidable, but can it really withstand the repeated bombardment of dozens of Mahayana cultivators?
Although the underground cave had temporarily trapped the two of them, with their immortal treasures in hand, even if they were unaware of the situation and did not wish to use them to kill the enemy, they could still protect themselves.

To Gu Yuan, the darkness at this moment was nothing more than a meaningless delay.

What's the point?

"However, there must be a reason for this move..."

"What exactly does this person in the shadows want to do?"

Gu Yuan looked around, his mind racing with thoughts, but everything before him seemed shrouded in mist, impossible to see clearly.

Not only was there a lack of intelligence and information, but he also felt that his thinking seemed to have become rusty.

"Could it be that his mind has really been affected?"

Gu Yuan looked inward at himself and then at the Thunder Spirit Body that had been transformed from the Thunder Spirit Immortal Body Seal that forbade all laws.

The thunderbolt remained seated within Gu Yuan's dantian, governing all laws, completely undisturbed.

"We cannot linger here. This underground cave is quite strange..."

Just then, a jade cauldron floated up above the head of the Jade Venerable.

A crimson light burst forth from the jade cauldron, dazzling and carrying a sense of urgency.

"This is the Heavenly Warning Cauldron of my Jade Cauldron Dao lineage. The red light surging from the cauldron is an ominous sign."

"It is Venerable Zhongyu," he said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, you may join me in casting a spell, activating your immortal robes to completely envelop this underground cave, shattering all magical barriers and reducing everything to nothingness."

He turned to look at Gu Yuan and asked in a deep voice.

This underground cavern is vast and stretches for thousands of miles. It took an unknown amount of time to develop. Even with his Mahayana power and the use of the Immortal Seal, he could not completely cover it and suppress the earth, fire, water, and wind. However, if he used the Immortal Robe, this matter could still be accomplished.

However, in such a vast area, it was somewhat difficult for him to activate his immortal robes alone. Only with Gu Yuan's combined efforts could this great undertaking be accomplished.

"To work together to activate the fairy robes?"

Gu Yuan paused for a moment, lost in thought.

He felt this was not a good approach.

Having a magical treasure in one's possession but being afraid to use it is not a good strategy.

Even if there are plans here, can they really resist the power of the immortal treasure?

If we can break through this vast underground cave and find the person behind it all, with the Immortal-Slaying Gourd and our own fighting prowess, who in the mortal realm cannot we defeat?!
"Hold the clothes!"

Gu Yuan's expression turned cold, and he immediately responded.

"A grand dream is like emptiness, a mirage that transforms heaven and earth..."

Venerable Zhongyu let out a long chant, and then a dazzling, ethereal robe appeared around his body. The robe expanded in the wind, becoming as large as the sky in the blink of an eye, covering the entire cavern.

Beneath this garment, all methods and teachings vanish like dreams and illusions, disappearing swiftly.

The darkness dissipated, and the universe returned to normal.

All the "laws" in the entire cave disappeared, and even the power generated by heaven and earth quickly vanished.

Heavenly treasures are just that domineering.

"Your Majesty!"

But at that moment, Venerable Zhongyu suddenly shouted at Gu Yuan.

Activating such a divine treasure and covering such a distance was a huge burden for him.

"boom!"

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan immediately stood side by side with Venerable Zhong Yu, and a surge of magical power rose from his palm, falling into the Great Dream Heavenly Robe.

In an instant, the starry sky transformed into clothing, completely covering the entire sky and the underground cavern.

This is the true Heavenly Garment.

Beneath this celestial garment, everything in the underground cave vanished.

The dark clouds dispersed, and although the cave was still pitch black, it no longer possessed the power to overturn heaven and earth, nor did it have the illusion that obscured the divine thoughts of Mahayana. It was simply darkness that penetrated deep into the earth's veins.

"We've finally broken through this underground heavenly formation..."

"I've been waiting for this moment for so long..."

"I knew it; the immortal treasures of the Xuanhuang Dao lineage wouldn't disappoint me..."

Just as everything in the cave was destroyed, a soothing sound suddenly rang out from the darkness.

In the deepest part of the cave, a cloud of yin and yang colors slowly flowed and rose.

Within the inky clouds, a single, scarlet eye gleamed with malevolence and cunning, while within the white clouds, a calm, pure white eye appeared gentle and serene. The interplay of these two colors, the shifting clouds, and the contrasting eyes, all stemming from the depths of the underground cave, exuded an intense sense of eeriness.

Most importantly, Gu Yuan and his companion were extremely familiar with the sounds coming from within the clouds.

Lord of the Heavenly Star Palace, Supreme Venerable Wuya!

However, at this moment, Venerable Wuya's state was unprecedentedly strange, completely different from the ethereal and otherworldly demeanor he exuded in the Heavenly Star Palace.

"You orchestrated all of this?!"

"What a courage!"

"You dare to plot against my Xuanhuang Dao Clan?!"

The Venerable Zhongyu's eyes narrowed, and he immediately shouted in a cold voice.

At the same time, the precious pill was quietly crushed inside the body, rapidly restoring magical power.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan did not move, but narrowed his eyes and stared at the yin-yang clouds and mist, while glancing at the sky out of the corner of his eye.

With the Heavenly Array of the Underground Cave broken, only miasma remains. Why haven't the Venerable Nine Rivers and the others entered the cave yet?

Were they held back by the great demon Chenhui?
"I used my physical body as a raft to steal a trace of the immortal array's power. Right now, outside that desolate valley, the Mahayana cultivators are locked in a standoff. They shouldn't be entering this place for a while, so let's not look any further..."

Just then, the voice of the Supreme Being Wuya suddenly emanated from within the white clouds, calm and peaceful, seemingly exactly the same as it had been in the main hall that day.

"You think you can influence dozens of Mahayana cultivators with just a wisp of immortal array power?"

Gu Yuan shook his head upon hearing this, but he stopped pursuing the matter outside the cave and instead focused his gaze on the yin-yang clouds.

"who are you?!"

He could sense the presence of the Cliff Venerable within the Yin-Yang Clouds, but it was extremely elusive and ambiguous. The only certainty was the vast, ocean-like power, as deep as an abyss, even more so than in the Heavenly Star Palace.

"who I am?!"

"I am naturally the Lord of the Heavenly Star Palace, the Supreme Venerable Wuya!"

"The leader of the Xuandao sect, the master of the Immortal Embryo!"

As soon as Gu Yuan said this, two voices rang out simultaneously from the yin-yang clouds, one deep and honest, the other wild and arrogant. The two voices mingled together, like the roar of a demon echoing in the darkness.

Such a posture, how could it be the leader of the Xuandao sect?

Gu Yuan frowned immediately, but did not make a move right away.

After activating the Immortal-Slaying Gourd and the Great Dream Robe in succession, even with his cultivation level, he needed to recover somewhat.

The Venerable Zhongyu also harbored this thought in his heart, and immediately tried to stall with words, shouting at the yin-yang clouds and mist: "Have you gone astray in your cultivation? Have you been devoured by the manifestation of evil thoughts?"

For some reason, the Yin-Yang Cloud Mist did not make a move. Upon hearing the words of Venerable Zhongyu, it immediately laughed and said, "A mishap?"

"Isn't this a mistake?"

"This is the supreme immortal technique that severs the dual corpses of good and evil; it is the supreme method I created myself!"

The two voices laughed in unison, then said with a sigh, "To be honest, there were some mishaps before. My good intentions were manipulated by evil intentions, my soul was bound by the body of this stone dragon, and I was also trapped by this Earth Cave Heaven Array. My good intentions could not escape, the Twin Corpse Technique could not be completed, and my immortal techniques could not be fully mastered."

"But today, with your help, we have broken the shackles of the stone dragon and the trap of the heavenly formation, and our good intentions have been fully revealed."

"Today... is the day I ascend to immortality!"

"boom!!"

Accompanied by wild laughter, the rolling clouds surged like towering waves, their terrifying and boundless aura soaring upwards, reaching the pinnacle of the human world in an instant.

This aura contained the power of a half-step eighth-level stone dragon demon and the power of a Xuanmen Daoist at the peak of its completion. The two were mixed together without any conflict. Instead, they were like twins born of the same parents, complementing each other like yin and yang, and the aura surged to a terrifying level.

The spiritual energy within was surging and incredibly vigorous.

Although it had no physical body, the Yin-Yang Clouds condensed in the void and transformed directly into a terrifying creature with a human head and a snake tail, its eyes one scarlet and one pure white, staring intently at Gu Yuan and the other.

How could such a state be a case of evil thoughts being trapped by good thoughts?
It should be the other way around.

Wuya Shangzun used the stone dragon and the underground cave as locks to try to imprison his evil thoughts, but in the end, things went wrong and the formation was broken by the two of them.
Are the Immortal-Slaying Gourd and the Great Dream Heavenly Garment both hidden weapons within the scheme?

But... what kind of method is this?
How could such evil thoughts, trapped and imprisoned within, possibly orchestrate all of this?!

Scheming for the Mysterious Yellow, scheming for the Immortal Treasure?
Is this truly the evil thought of the Supreme Being of Boundless Space?
"Use you as nourishment to help me achieve immortality and fully attain my position in the celestial realm!"

Gu Yuan's thoughts raced, but he still felt something was amiss. However, the Yin-Yang Clouds roared, and three immortal seals floated above its head, radiating boundless killing power.

Taiqing Soul-Capturing Immortal Seal!

The Immortal Seal of the Four Directions is Upside Down!
Seize the Wisdom and Subdue the Spirit Immortal Seal!

The Immortal Seal was already incredibly powerful, and now, driven by the vast power of the Yin-Yang Cloud Mist, which had almost reached the realm of immortals, it shone brightly and unleashed its mighty power. Gu Yuan and Venerable Zhongyu felt as if their souls were about to split apart, while the enemy cultivators in front of them kept reversing their positions, and their mental and intellectual abilities were also declining.

"Suppress all laws!"

"Remnant Immortal!"

"Primordial Qi Capture Seal!"

Gu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, but instead of immediately activating the immortal treasure, he directly summoned his three immortal seals.

As long as he doesn't become an immortal, he feels he has the strength to fight.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the clouds of tribulation spread, and the power of the unseen surged, attempting to force all the magical seals before him back into his body.

Although the Supreme Immortal Seal of Boundless Immortal is powerful, its rank is not exceptionally high, and Gu Yuan is confident in his ability to fight it.

But this time, he was disappointed.

Those three immortal seals seemed impervious to all laws, ignoring all techniques and unimpeded, carrying boundless power as they continued to attack Gu Yuan.

"what?!"

Gu Yuan was suddenly startled. Before he could think, his magic power surged, and the Immortal-Slaying Gourd above his head trembled violently, immediately spewing out a wisp of purple-gold sword energy.

This is the power of a celestial treasure, a genuine eighth-order celestial light.

Sever everything in the human world.

All the immense power that the three immortal seals brought was instantly cut apart, and the sword light, without pausing, flashed and pierced through the void, slashing towards the yin-yang clouds.

This sword strike will surely slay demons and monsters, and bring peace to the world.

But the Yin-Yang Clouds burst into laughter: "A mid-stage Mahayana cultivator dares to flaunt his immortal treasure in the marketplace? We've been waiting for this very sword strike!"

"bass!"

A clear, mirror-like light emerged from the clouds.

In the mirror, yin and yang are reversed, heaven and earth are turned upside down, good and evil are interchanged, and everything goes in the opposite direction.

The same thing happened when the sword light fell on it.

"bass!!"

Countless spiritual energies appeared in the sky, and countless Mahayana cultivators made their efforts to break through the miasma and enter the underground cave.

But at that moment, the sword light soared into the sky and crashed into the miasma, transforming into a dazzling color.

"boom!"

An endless burst of spiritual energy erupted, and the Mahayana cultivators in the sky were struck by this sword and sent flying backward.

Gu Yuan's face darkened, and he immediately realized that he had made a mistake again.

Even the Venerable Wuya possessed a celestial treasure, yet his sword strike not only failed to harm the opponent but also thwarted an attack from Venerable Jiuchuan and the others.

In today's battle, he acted like a clueless child, making numerous mistakes and turning a promising situation into the current precarious one.

He failed to seize any of the advantages of favorable timing, location, and popular support.

Even divine treasures have become weapons in the hands of others.

"boom!"

The yin-yang clouds roared once more, manipulating endless spiritual energy to attack Gu Yuan.

"A dream, so vivid!"

The Venerable Zhongyu's expression turned solemn. He immediately stood up, manipulated the Great Dream Immortal Robe, and blocked Gu Yuan's path.

But the moment he took a step, his eyelids suddenly felt incredibly heavy, and an indescribable drowsiness washed over him.

Mahayana practitioners eat the sun's rays and drink the dew; they do not sleep for a thousand years. How could they be tired?
But now this drowsiness was terrifyingly strong, and it suddenly erupted, causing Venerable Zhongyu's eyelids to close uncontrollably.

"call out!"

The celestial treasure, possessing a spirit, sensed the slumber of the Jade Venerable and immediately flew up, detaching itself from his body. It soared into the sky, vanished into the void, and disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, the Yin-Yang Clouds did not stop them, but continued to unleash their boundless spiritual energy, carrying the Three Immortal Seals, and attacked Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan's face was ashen, and the Immortal-Slaying Gourd above his head trembled, but he didn't know whether he should summon it again.

He was still hesitating in this situation!
"boom!"

Just as his thoughts were flashing through his mind, something within him suddenly exploded, and a mysterious power fell into the four directions of the Heavenly Dao.

A seal that turns misfortune into good fortune!
Gu Yuan's most prized trump card exploded on its own, turning into a streak of light and disappearing as if it had never existed.
