I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 730 The Celestial Palace's Method, Conquering Dragon Star

The streak of light flew by as if summoned, and flew straight toward Gu Yuan, landing on his shoulder.

Gu Yuan had already seen its appearance the moment the spiritual light entered him.

It was a dragon the size of a grain of rice, shimmering with strange lightning patterns.

Above the dragon, scales and patterns emerged, and tiny characters, barely visible as mosquitoes and flies, could be seen: "Immortal Palace Method for Binding Spirits and Sending Generals!"
"Buzz!"

This dragon is not a living being, but a manifestation of the immortal scriptures. Like the dragons, phoenixes, tigers, leopards, purple lightning, and green frost in the vast clouds, it is a spiritual phenomenon manifested by the immortal scriptures.

Gu Yuan's expression immediately changed.

When the spirit seed landed on his shoulder, the little figure of the Thunder Spirit Immortal in his dantian suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of longing appeared in them.

"hold head high!!"

Moreover, deep within his consciousness, in the vast dreamscape, a dragon was swimming, lightning flashed, and a strange phenomenon appeared.

The Golden Seal of the Great Dream's Dharma Evolution!

The Golden Seal of the Great Dream Evolution trembled, and the Thunder Spirit Immortal Seal, which had been suppressing all laws, suddenly felt a longing for this immortal scripture.

Moreover, within Gu Yuan's dantian, the [Transgression Seal], which had been inactive for a long time and had gradually become unable to participate in his immortal cultivation, also showed a strange movement.

Even the newly completed Three Elements Examination and Suppression of Evil Immortal Seal trembled slightly.

The simultaneous movement of all four seals was something Gu Yuanping had never witnessed before.

"Could this be what the silver opportunity signifies?"

The thought naturally came to his mind.

"Hmm, this scripture actually resonates with you to some extent. Could it be that you have also cultivated the original version of the 'Spirit Binding and General Commanding Immortal Armor Heavenly Scripture'..."

Just then, the misty clouds outside the immortal cocoon dissipated, revealing a tall, middle-aged Taoist with silver eyes and a long beard standing in place, looking at Gu Yuan with slight surprise.

"call out!"

At the same time, the Taoist priest reached out and beckoned, and the Flood Dragon Immortal Scripture flew uncontrollably toward him, hovering in front of him.

"I've met you, fellow immortal. I've heard of the 'Immortal Armor Heavenly Scripture of Spirit Binding and General Dispatching,' but I've never practiced it..."

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan bowed deeply.

"Oh? You've never practiced this scripture, yet you still resonate with it. Could it be that you've practiced the Heavenly Soldier Technique?"

The Taoist priest raised an eyebrow, looking even more surprised.

"He has indeed mastered the art of heavenly soldiers."

Gu Yuan recalled the strange phenomenon of the Three Elements Examination Summoning the Demon-Suppressing Immortal Seal and answered with a single sentence.

"I see……"

The Taoist priest suddenly realized, then looked at Gu Yuan and said with a smile, "I am a member of the Five Sacred Mountains Palace, with the immortal title of Southern Sacred Mountain. This fellow immortal looks unfamiliar. Could you be a newly ascended immortal from the Xuanhuang realm?"

"So you are a senior from the Five Sacred Mountains Palace. I am a sixth-generation immortal from Linchuan, and I have indeed only recently entered the Heavenly Palace."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan was immediately surprised and bowed to the person in front of him.

The Five Sacred Mountains Palace is an ancient sect of Xuanhuang, which takes the Five Sacred Mountains as its Dharma form. It has extraordinary methods and a long lineage. Two immortals ascended to the Heavenly Palace. However, since the last palace master ascended, it has gradually declined and has become a minor sect in Xuanhuang. Gu Yuan had never heard of this sect when he was in the mortal world.

It was after I ascended to the Heavenly Palace that I heard about this sect from the Nine Heavens.

"Fellow Daoist, you have just ascended from Xuanhuang. Do you know of any news about my Five Mountains Palace in the mortal realm?"

The immortal from Mount Heng bowed and asked Gu Yuan a question.

Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "I have never heard of it. It seems to have been reduced to a minor branch."

The Immortal of Mount Heng immediately sighed, "Immortal arts are difficult to cultivate, immortal seals are hard to forge, and the connection between heaven and earth has been severed; it has truly fallen to this state..."

"With the immortals present, everything is just ripples in the pond, nothing serious."

Gu Yuan immediately offered a word of comfort.

This is the truth. The immortal patriarch is still alive. With just a little care, he can easily be brought back to life.

After all... the connection between heaven and earth has never truly been severed.

"No matter how much care I give, it's like adding water to a dry well; it will eventually run dry..."

The immortal of Mount Heng seemed to recall something, and let out a soft sigh.

But then he bowed and said to Gu Yuan with a smile, “It is fate that we meet. This ‘Spirit Binding and General Dispatching Immortal Palace Method’ was created by me after spending more than two hundred years. It is derived from the ‘Spirit Binding and General Dispatching Immortal Armor Heavenly Scripture’ and contains the method of the Immortal Palace. However, it is not complete and still has some shortcomings, but it can still be considered a wonderful scripture.”

"I originally intended to place this immortal scripture in the [Immortal Law Hall] to exchange for immortal techniques and immortal materials, but there was a slight time limit. Now that you have seen it first, please take a look."

"If the immortals are willing, they can issue an edict from the Ascension Platform to take care of my little sect. If not, then so be it."

The Immortal of Mount Nanyue smiled slightly, flicked his hand, and the dragon-shaped Immortal Scripture Seed flew into Gu Yuan's palm. Then, the Immortal of Mount Nanyue bowed, took his leave, and left the Immortal Dharma Hall.

The Immortal Law Hall is an extremely important hall in the Heavenly Palace's tens of thousands of years of rapid progress. Almost all the immortal seals and immortal scriptures in this hall can be viewed by immortals of the fourth rank or above without any additional cost.

Whether or not one can succeed in cultivating it depends on one's own karmic connections.

However, not all the magical scriptures and techniques are kept in the Hall of Immortal Techniques.

Each immortal lineage and ancient sect has many unique methods that are not recorded in the Immortal Method Hall.

In addition, for each immortal technique created, the creator has the right to choose the "publication" time, which can be ten, thirty, fifty, one hundred, or two hundred years later before the technique appears in the hall.

This is also a form of "protection" for the creators of the law.

By choosing to "publish" in the Immortal Dharma Hall, one can obtain a considerable amount of "Immortal Merit".

Immortal skills are extremely valuable and are the most important "hard currency" in the Heavenly Palace.

The reason Gu Yuan was unable to obtain the Tai Su Cloud Sprout when he ascended to heaven was because the Palace Master of the Immortal Law Hall had already exchanged for it with his immortal skills and left.

Exchanging immortal skills for immortal materials is the first priority, even surpassing immortal salaries. It also allows one to command various palaces to directly refine unique immortal materials for them.

Merit is always rewarded, which is a major reason why the Heavenly Palace is teeming with diverse laws and full of vitality.

Since the Immortal Master of Mount Heng was deriving the Immortal Scripture in this Immortal Dharma Hall, he naturally intended to exchange it for Immortal Techniques. However, he planned to publish the scripture only after thirty years. During these thirty years, he would only display the preface and foreword of the Immortal Scripture in the Immortal Dharma Hall.

During these thirty years, if anyone wishes to comprehend this scripture, they can seek him out, and he may provide them with some more immortal materials.

But today, when he met Gu Yuan, he used the protection of the Five Sacred Mountains Palace to spare Gu Yuan the thirty years of time, allowing Gu Yuan to preview the book in advance.

This can hardly be considered a transaction; in truth, it's more like fate.

Gu Yuan naturally did not refuse. He immediately accepted the dragon spirit seed, immersed his immortal thoughts into it, and began to comprehend it.

He wanted to see what was so mysterious about this scripture that could make him activate all four of his seals at once.

"boom!"

As Gu Yuan's thoughts sank into the dragon spirit seed, the surrounding clouds and mist flowed naturally, as if heaven and earth had merged into one room, enveloping him within.

A mysterious Daoist aura flowed around him, appearing around his body.

This is the mystery of the Immortal Hall. By comprehending the immortal scriptures and seals, clouds will naturally condense and form the [Immortal Chamber], which can enhance one's comprehension and also prevent interference from the outside world.

"The Three Realms are like a contract, and the True Name is the Dharma Rope..."

"A radiant light shines across the eight directions, while I sit in my palace and observe the world's dust..."

This immortal scripture is profound but not among the top-tier methods; it is merely a superior technique, derived from the "Immortal Armor Scripture of Binding Spirits and Commanding Generals," and is not worthy of the pale silver opportunity.

Gu Yuan had no idea what Shi Ye was referring to this time.

But he wasn't in a hurry, because the last time he had the opportunity with the stone liquid was the same.

Instead of directly showing what they had obtained, they went through several roundabout methods.

"The celestial palace captures spirits, and commands are sent to all directions..."

As Gu Yuan comprehended the immortal scripture, he felt the Great Dream Evolution Golden Seal tremble slightly, as if thousands of seal characters were flowing within it, vaguely showing a tendency to evolve its own laws. Not only that, within his dantian, the Thunder Law Immortal Spirit sat cross-legged, eyes closed, hands forming a mudra. In the darkness, strands of lightning emerged from his immortal body, gathering together and forming a blurry thunderous abode around the Thunder Law Immortal Spirit.

"This is……"

"The methods of the Celestial Palace?"

Gu Yuanxian delved deeper into the scripture, constantly comprehending its meaning. He then looked at the various seals within his body and gradually gained some understanding.

What activates the Thunder Spirit's body and all the seals is not "binding the spirit and commanding the generals," but "the methods of the Celestial Palace."

This is the core teaching of this sutra.

Within the dantian, using the immortal foundation as a base, a celestial palace is forged, engraved with immortal patterns, and modeled after the universe. Then, an order is issued to capture all spirits. All spirits captured and brought into the celestial palace will obey its orders and shall not disobey.

This is a method that uses one's own celestial palace to command all living beings.

Perhaps due to the limited realm or comprehension of the immortals of Mount Heng, this method was not successful. It could only capture beings with low intelligence or low realm. Capturing immortals would be extremely difficult.

However, the methods of the Celestial Palace were created.

Once captured and taken to the celestial palace, one is forbidden from leaving and must obey imperial decrees.

To be honest, this method is quite strange because it is too domineering, but all top-level immortal methods are domineering.

"The Laws of the Celestial Palace..."

Gu Yuan looked at the changes in the seals within his body and muttered to himself.

He could sense that the method of the Immortal Palace was extremely compatible with him, but it lacked some "refinement". The Golden Seal of the Great Dream Evolution Method seemed to be under the command of the Thunder Spirit Immortal Body, and the clouds and qi were generated on its own to begin "refining" the scripture so that it could adapt to the Thunder Spirit Immortal Body.

The Immortal Seal of the Forbidden Thunder Spirit is a high-ranking immortal seal. As soon as it was successfully crafted, it governed all the seals within his body and occupied the central position.

Although the various immortal seals he encountered after ascending to the Heavenly Palace were extremely powerful, causing him to lose his immortal might, they still held considerable weight within Gu Yuan's body at this moment.

"Let's see how things turn out in the end..."

Gu Yuan had a vague feeling that once this "carving" was successful, it would greatly help Lei Ling's immortal body.

But... what is the connection between this assistance and the pale silver opportunity that the stone liquid pointed out?

Gu Yuan was puzzled, and before he knew it, a long time had passed as he was comprehending the immortal scriptures.

Several days had already passed since the hour of You (5-7 PM) that Shi Ye had mentioned.

Gu Yuan walked out of the [Immortal Chamber], looked at the hall, and, confirming that the opportunity was not yet available here, could only fly up and leave the hall.

His time is running out.

With the conquest of Dragon Star imminent, he needs to train celestial soldiers and practice celestial formations.

But following the guidance of the stone liquid, he arrived at the place on time, believing that the opportunity would eventually appear.

……

……

"clang!"

"clang!"

"clang!"

Time flies, and the day to conquer Dragon Star has arrived.

The golden bell resounded throughout the seventh heaven, and a vast sea of ​​clouds appeared, supporting four colossal palaces as they slowly rose into the sky.

Layer upon layer of solidified, dark jade clouds formed a thousand jade steps. To the left and right of the steps were a thousand ancient bronze lamps, each containing boundless light, like the sun compressed into a candle and placed inside.

Each ancient lamp is filled with boundless celestial energy.

This is the Star Chariot and Cloud Palace, capable of commanding 100,000 heavenly soldiers to conquer the immortal palaces beyond the realm. Each of these ancient bronze lamps contains stardust as fire, as if a thousand immortal veins are flowing within, providing the Star Chariot and Cloud Palace with an inexhaustible source of power.

One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers stood with spears in hand, equivalent to one hundred thousand Mahayana monks.

Twenty celestial officials, each holding a celestial treasure, stood before the hall, equivalent to twenty immortals of the Azure Journey.

Gu Yuan and the immortal Yuanming resided in the hall and ruled over it.

"Let's go..."

With a wave of his sleeve, Gu Yuan summoned giant armored warriors who immediately raised their celestial horns and began to beat the drums with all their might.

"boom!!"

In an instant, boundless clouds flowed, and a thousand ancient lamps flickered, as if a thousand giant dragons had gathered into a sea, lifting the giant palace up with a thunderous roar, and flew towards the outside of the Heavenly Palace.

"boom!"

Boundless light appeared, and the giant sword, resembling a colossal beast from beyond the realm, crossed an invisible heavenly gate and emerged from the Heavenly Palace.

A sea of ​​stars stood before me, twinkling in the sky, the world utterly desolate.

Gu Yuan and Immortal Yuanming stood in front of the Cloud Sea Palace and turned around at the same time.

A vast, indescribable, celestial palace appeared behind the Cloud Palace.

The celestial palace seemed to be at the end, but it was separated by an infinite distance, not even a single dimension.

In the past, the two of them could return to the Heavenly Palace in an instant, no matter where they were in the outer realms, with a single thought.

The Heavenly Palace reigns supreme over all heavens and is omnipresent.

But today, the "thread" in their hearts has disappeared.

The Heavenly Palace was right behind us, but we couldn't enter.

A mysterious barrier blocked everything.

When will we be able to return to the Heavenly Palace?

Gu Yuan and the other man exchanged a glance, both of them wondering the same thing.

For some reason, after leaving the Heavenly Palace, both of them felt a strong sense of unease, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

Gu Yuan even felt that his failure to agree to Master Xunfeng's proposal that day was due to mental confusion.

"There are still three months left, let's focus on our cultivation first..."

After taking a deep breath, Gu Yuan suppressed the palpitation and spoke to Immortal Yuanming.

The Star Chariot Cloud Palace is a celestial palace that can traverse the starry sky at an incredible speed, like lightning, and can even cross the void.

However, the starry sky is vast, and it would take at least three months to reach Dragon Star.

But only this once.

Once they arrive at Dragon Star, they can set up an anchor point, so that if the Heavenly Palace sends reinforcements in the future, they won't have to travel for so long.

"Please, Your Highness!"

Immortal Yuanming bowed and gestured for Gu Yuan to go first.

Gu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and entered the hall first, followed by Immortal Yuanming.

For a moment, the starry sky was silent, with only four colossal cloud towers traversing the star field, advancing at breakneck speed.

However... within that heavenly palace, in a space invisible to the naked eye, several gazes were fixed upon the four halls.

As the four palaces set off, deep within the vast outer realms, in an extravagantly luxurious palace, golden vertical pupils opened, revealing a stern expression.

"Trying to control calamities from beyond the realm is a pipe dream..."

"This time I will make sure your Heavenly Palace is turned upside down, and you will never have any hope of ascending again!"
