I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 705, *The Primordial Divine Firmament Opening Heaven Jade Pivot Scripture*, Measuring the Heavenly Immortal Foundation
"boom!!"

The void shattered, and celestial light exploded.

Fire, in its Samadhi form, scorches the heavens; the Five Sacred Mountains take shape, suppressing heaven and earth; the Big Dipper, with its seven stars, slays demons and transforms into swords; the Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination and strategy) locks the sky in smoke and clouds; cloud script communicates with the netherworld, commanding ghosts to form armies…

These five individuals were all exceptional beings in the mortal realm. Although they had not achieved immortal bodies or survived the Heavenly Tribulation, most of their magical power had been transformed into immortal power. When they activated the Immortal Seal, the earth, fire, water, and wind all trembled, displaying an awe-inspiring and terrifying power.

Despite being bombarded by the Five Immortal Seals, Gu Yuan's physical body remained completely unharmed.

This is not only because his immortal body is strong enough to withstand the immortal seal, but more importantly, because there is a mysterious "domain" around him. This "domain" is like a cave, with countless void ravines. Any immortal seal technique that lands on it must travel an infinite distance to attack Gu Yuan's body.

This is the defensive power of the "Cave Heaven Immortal Seal".

This seal is not a seal for killing or warfare. Its greatest power lies in the word "grotto-heaven". Within the grotto-heaven, all treasures and great medicines grow several times faster than outside. Immortal energy floats and hides in the void. It is one of the world's most supreme Daoist sites.

Moreover, if one lives in seclusion in a grotto-heaven and never goes out, one can avoid all kinds of calamities and become a carefree and wealthy grotto-heaven master with a long and long life.

However, this seal has suffered a great calamity and is now cracked. The immortal mountains and spiritual peaks within have collapsed, and all kinds of great medicines have been destroyed. Now, the most valuable thing is only an eighth-order [Jade Soul Regenerating Lotus].

The so-called abilities to avoid calamity and prolong life are difficult to use at this time, but a weak defensive ability is still available.

As long as this seal is activated, a "grotto-heaven" will protect the user. To harm the seal's owner, one must break through this boundless grotto-heaven.

Moreover, within Gu Yuan's body, the "domain" contains not only the power of the cave heaven but also the power of reincarnation.

The Reincarnation Seal is a top-tier immortal seal, even stronger than a grotto-heaven.

This seal can enable all sentient beings to reincarnate.

Back when the Netherworld Ancient Sea was not yet shattered and the Heavenly Palace had not yet been established, all the souls of the dead who had no guides would be absorbed by the Reincarnation Seal and enter the Netherworld Ancient Sea for reincarnation.

With each reincarnation, the master becomes stronger, which is extremely terrifying.

However, the so-called ability to reincarnate sentient beings had long since disappeared with the establishment of the Heavenly Palace and the end of the great war.

However, the seal still has the ability to remain.

With a single thought, one can forcibly extract the soul of an enemy cultivator and send him into reincarnation. Once in reincarnation, all his memories are erased, and he is directly transformed into the most primitive "soul point," falling into the myriad spirits, and thus disappearing completely from the world.

Therefore, this seal can also be described as a seal of absolute killing.

If one cannot withstand the "reincarnation" of the Reincarnation Seal, one will die and perish directly; there is no other way.

If one can withstand it, then reincarnation has no effect on them.

However, the realm of reincarnation still exists. All the spells cast by any enemy cultivator will fall into this realm. Once you enter this realm, you enter the cycle of reincarnation. With each cycle of reincarnation, the power of all spells weakens by one point, and with each passing breath, you have already reincarnated hundreds or thousands of times.

How many paths in the world allow one to experience this cycle of reincarnation?

Although these two seals are damaged and their power greatly reduced, they are still extremely powerful in this battle where even immortals are not qualified to fight.

Not to mention that Gu Yuan also possesses a terrifying immortal body comparable to Bi Youxian.

"boom!"

"boom!"

With Samadhi bestowed upon him, his hair remained undamaged; with the Five Sacred Mountains suppressing the heavens, his speed was undiminished; with the Big Dipper's seven stars striking like a sword, his skin remained unbroken; with the Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination) techniques, he dispersed like flowing clouds; with the cloud script connecting to the netherworld, he entered the cycle of reincarnation.

Gu Yuan endured all the laws, yet remained completely unharmed.

All five men paled.

"happy!"

Amidst the wildfire and drifting clouds, Gu Yuan burst into loud laughter.

It's not just about laughing at this battle, but also about the joy of the precious tree within my dantian.

"Samadhi Heavenly Fire Immortal Scripture..."

"Illustrations and Explanations of the True Forms of the Five Sacred Mountains..."

"The Seven Chapters of the Big Dipper Demon Slayer..."

"The Immortal Manual of Qimen Dunjia..."

"The Record of Cloud-Script Communicating with the Netherworld and Commanding Ghosts and Immortals..."

Five immortal scriptures and the aura of five peerless geniuses surged forth from the treasure tree.

Prefecture, Sound, Fire, Mountain, Star, Wonder, Secluded...

In a daze, Gu Yuan felt as if seven Taoists were sitting cross-legged in his dantian, pouring all their life's blood and wisdom into his immortal scripture.

The light of the Great Dao flowed, and the immortal patterns shone brightly, as if an extraordinary being was about to be born.

"boom!"

With a surge of emotion, lightning crackled on Gu Yuan's fist. He took a step forward, opening up the void, and withstood all immortal techniques. His fist, as solid as a divine mountain, struck at one person.

This is the power of an immortal body, an unparalleled power that no immortal seal can withstand.

"boom!"

One person was the first to be knocked away, crashing through the void and temporarily losing the ability to fight again.

The five of them were already struggling against Gu Yuan, and now that one of them was missing, they were even less able to fight.

"boom!"

Gu Yuan's figure was ethereal, moving through the void like a dragon. In the blink of an eye, he withstood all kinds of immortal techniques and sent the five people flying one by one.

The massive battle ended swiftly and decisively.

"This is……"

Those who watched were all terrified.

Are there really such people in the world?
Did this person really not survive the heavenly tribulation?
Invincible in the world!

This is truly invincible!
The remaining few could only manage a bitter smile and shake their heads repeatedly.

They used to call themselves "half-immortals," claiming to have reached the pinnacle of human existence, but now it seems they were nothing more than frogs in a well.

"Is this the profound heritage of the Xuanhuang Ancient Land?"

"Looks like I'll have to take a trip to that ancient place when I have some free time..."

One of the cultivators sighed, recalling Gu Yuan's origins, and a desire to travel arose in his heart.

Although the Eight Realms are rich, their history is too short and their foundation is still shallow. Otherwise, how could a person from an ancient land have defeated them so decisively?
"Fellow Daoists, you flatter me!"

"I wonder if I could obtain this Ascension Stele?"

After defeating five people in one battle, Gu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony. He first bowed to the five people who had returned to the cliff, and then spoke to the others.

"This stele belongs to that fellow Daoist; we only hope that we can have a glimpse of its origins..."

Such power rendered all words pale in comparison. Venerable Mu Yun took the lead, bowed, and spoke to Gu Yuan.

"I only wish to see the method of transformation!"

The rest of the people also bowed.

The two Venerables behind Venerable Zifu, Venerable Buxu and Venerable Youlan, also bowed, and at the same time, they finally understood why Venerable Zifu had agreed to let Gu Yuan take action.

Unexpectedly, in the human realm, they would encounter someone who could sweep them all away.

"I only hope that my fellow Daoists will not despise my weak method."

Seeing this, Gu Yuan smiled slightly and did not refuse.

The practice of observing the Dao is nothing more than observing the Dao's rhythm and unusual phenomena, gaining some insights from the energy of others.

One cannot truly glimpse the method being practiced.

Having already fought seven rounds of magic, Gu Yuan naturally wouldn't be stingy with this.

"Fellow Daoists, everything still needs to be done according to the rules, and this contract still needs to be signed."

But at that moment, the Supreme Lord of the Purple Mansion suddenly spoke and took out a celestial contract.

This has always been an unspoken rule of the Ascension Platform: one can observe the Dharma, but must sign an Immortal Contract, and cannot interfere during a cultivator's enlightenment process.

Defenses can not do without.

The people at Dengxiantai are all seasoned cultivators who do not easily trust outsiders.

"That's only right!" Someone recalled Gu Yuan's heroic figure during the battle and smiled bitterly to himself, but he did not break the rules and wrote down his real name first.

If you disobey, heavenly tribulation will befall you, and you will find it difficult to become an immortal.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan smiled wryly, but did not stop them. He simply waved his sleeve and put his senior sister and Qingqing into the Cave Heaven Seal, and then walked leisurely towards the Ascension Stele.

He fought seven times in one day and then obtained the Daoist stele.

Today may be the day when the method of establishing the foundation of immortality is achieved.

Gu Yuan sat cross-legged, breathing gently to calm his mind, and then turned to look at the cliff face to his side.

The cliff face was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the shadow of Gu Yuan sitting cross-legged. The moment he turned his head, the shadow also turned to look at him. For a moment, it seemed as if there were two Gu Yuans staring at each other.

However, Gu Yuan, who was inside the cliff, had even brighter eyes, seemingly more spiritual, but deep within his eyes was a cold indifference like that of the Great Dao.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan smiled slightly, not caring, and turned his head back. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, he took out all the "soul-nourishing" and "method-deriving" items he had obtained in the Chenhui Realm and hung them in front of him.

To deduce a superior immortal scripture and condense a superior immortal foundation, one needs to utilize all available resources.

The Great Dream Evolution Golden Seal, the Dao Mysterious Immortal Foundation Treasure Tree, and the Ascension Stele all need to be utilized.

He would start with the Great Dream Evolution Golden Seal, since he had read many immortal scriptures over the years, and they were all stored in this seal. He would first use this seal to deduce a general idea, then consume the Treasure Tree Dao Fruit, and finally sublimate it with the Ascension Stele. He believed that he would be able to get a satisfactory result.

With this thought in mind, Gu Yuan stopped thinking and closed his eyes, sinking into a deep dream.

"boom!"

In his dream, countless seal characters and immortal scriptures flowed, which he had obtained by scavenging the essence of the three realms of Chenhui, Xuanhuang, and Guicang. They were extremely vast, filling the sky, and every word was a gem.

As the soul's thoughts flowed, the immortal seal bloomed, and countless seal characters collided, resembling the roar of the heavens.

"The Divine Firmament Jade Pivot governs the essence of thunder..."

"Using thunder as a chisel, we open a new heaven from nothingness..."

"Thunder is the law of heaven, lightning is the path of stars..."

"It is said that thunder is not merely a sound, but rather the manifestation of the struggle between Yin and Yang..."

The collision of countless seal characters, each a masterpiece of immortal scripture, is a testament to the power of nature. No one is willing to yield to the other, and each possesses its own unique method, allowing one to gaze upon the heavens in pursuit of immortality.

Only by trying each and every one of the thousands of immortal scriptures and seal characters can one grasp the key to the Great Dao and obtain the supreme immortal scriptures.

The Great Dream Evolution Immortal Seal trembled rapidly, trying its best to merge into one, but it was too difficult.

Even if it is a celestial seal, it would be difficult to forge so many terrifying scriptures in a short period of time.

This requires boundless wisdom of the Great Way.

For the Great Dream Evolution Immortal Scripture, what can be done now is to first sort through the thousands of immortal scriptures and extract their essence.

This process of sorting out took a full three years.

As the sun rose and set, and the stars shifted, Gu Yuan sat in front of the Ascension Stele for three whole years.

Despite the wind, snow, and torrential rain, it remained motionless, like a sculpture.

The reflections in the Ascension Stele froze, and the person inside the stele seemed to be like a sculpture, completely still. The stele's divine light was also hidden.

The onlookers, all "half-immortals," remained motionless, with only faint divine thoughts surging and landing in front of Gu Yuan, sensing that faint wisp of Daoist charm.

Living outdoors and enduring the elements for three years was nothing more than a fleeting experience.

They're even too short.

They didn't care at all.

Thousands of years of cultivation and waiting, all for the sake of becoming an immortal, all for this final chance.

"boom!"

But on this very day, as snowflakes danced in the air, Gu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes seemingly crackling with lightning. Then, a phantom Dao Fruit within his dantian melted and fell into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The wondrous Daoist foundation tree, the Daoist fruit melts away.

In an instant, unimaginable Daoist wisdom and profound insights entered Gu Yuan's heart. It was as if seven extraordinary figures had lent him their life's work, enabling him to deduce the immortal scriptures and travel further on the path of the Great Dao.

The mysterious energy was fluctuating, and the previously obscure and difficult-to-promote immortal scripture seemed to be showing signs of progress at this moment.

"Thunder is not merely a weapon of destruction; it is the pivot of Yin and Yang, the ancestral energy of life and death..."

"The Five Thunder Patterns are formed, the physical body is bathed in thunderous light, the breath contains the power of creation, and lifespan is as long as the sun, moon, and stars..."

Thousands of seal characters flowed, and all the immortal scriptures seemed to have merged together. The seven methods of becoming an immortal, created by the "half-immortals" themselves and incorporating countless efforts and wisdom, were also integrated into this scripture.

A mysterious energy flowed, and the light of the Great Dao emerged. Gu Yuan vaguely had a direction in his heart.

A profound and mysterious insight surfaced in Gu Yuan's mind, but he always felt that something was missing.

If things were to proceed as planned now, it would only be a misstep.

Without much thought, he immediately turned his head and looked at the Ascension Stele beside him.

"boom!"

This time, his reflection sitting cross-legged in the Ascension Stele did not turn to look at him; only the brilliant light of the Great Dao shimmered with golden radiance and surged forth.

The entire cliff face immediately shone brightly, and the power of creation from heaven and earth descended upon it.

As golden light flowed, Gu Yuan felt a "Dao Image" appear in his heart. Without him having to deduce it, boundless wisdom of the Great Dao emerged. The immortal scripture that was originally a step behind was now sublimated to the extreme, as if the Heavenly Dao itself was generated, and appeared in Gu Yuan's heart.

"It is said that before chaos was divided, there was only darkness and primordial chaos..."

"In the beginning there was a sound, and the thunder of the heavens shook..."

"The primordial energy divides into Yin and Yang; the resounding vibration becomes Qian (Heaven), and the still silence becomes Kun (Earth)..."

"Thunder is not a weapon of killing, but rather the primordial sound of creation and the bellows of immortality..."

"boom!!"

Thousands of seal characters floated into Gu Yuan's mind. His consciousness was in a state of chaos, and he could hardly think anymore, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, revealing a feeling of joy.

It was as if he had created the scriptures and developed the methods, or as if the voice of the Great Dao was chanting in his heart. The Great Dao, the methods to become an immortal, and even the Great Luo Dao all appeared in Gu Yuan's mind.

"Boom!"

On the cliff face, lightning crackled, and the light of yin and yang flowed, making the world seem to turn into chaos, or perhaps to be reshaped.

The earth, fire, water, and wind remain unchanged, yet everything seems to have changed.

"This is……"

The onlookers all opened their eyes wide, their expressions filled with horror.

An extraordinary phenomenon appeared, the light of the Great Dao surged, and the earth, fire, water, and wind all trembled. What kind of immortal scripture had been condensed here?
But no one asked any questions at the moment; they just stared intently at Gu Yuan with wide eyes.

The light of yin and yang, the fire of thunder, all transformed into golden Dao patterns, which landed on Gu Yuan's shoulders, seemingly draping him in a Dao robe.

He didn't use any methods, but a wheel rose up from behind his head.

That is the light of the Great Way, the wheel of wisdom.

It was an unusual phenomenon that occurred when the Supreme Immortal Scripture was first created.

Ordinary beings can gain enlightenment and resolve their doubts simply by glancing at it.

In that instant, Gu Yuan seemed to become the chosen one of Heaven, possessing boundless wisdom.

But at this moment, he was so engrossed in his own thoughts that he could no longer care about anything else. Only a few brilliant words appeared in his mind.

"The Primordial Divine Firmament Opening Heaven Jade Pivot Scripture!"

The immortal scripture has been completed, and the thunder magic has been elevated to the heavens, using the power of yin and yang to create the method of opening the heavens.

If this immortal scripture is used to condense an immortal foundation, it can become the "Measurement of Heaven".

At this moment, Gu Yuan clearly felt that this scripture was still missing one final step.

Or rather, to condense the [Heavenly Measurement] Immortal Foundation, further assistance is needed.

He already knew where this help came from.

Gu Yuan looked up, his gaze deep and unfathomable, towards the northern border, where he could vaguely sense that someone was waiting for him.
