I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 741 Annotation: Immortal Seal Formed, Peak Eighth-Order Physical Body
A month or so passed in the blink of an eye.

Silence returned to Dragon Star.

Within a month, all the true dragons that could be captured had been captured. The remaining dragons either escaped to the vast outer realms and went to other dragon planets, or they died and disappeared without a trace.

However, without the Dragon Lord, the dragons' escape was extremely difficult. Under the pursuit of the heavenly soldiers led by Immortal Yuanming, even if the dragons scattered and fled, only 30% escaped. The remaining thousands of true dragons were all captured and brought back.

Gu Yuanxian saw all of this, but he did not move, instead focusing his attention on gazing at the stars.

He will not leave Yunque for the time being unless a new dragon lord arrives.

Because the refining of his immortal seal has reached a critical moment.

"boom!"

A ball of golden lightning and fire surged from Gu Yuan's palm, with a faint purple-blue hue visible within it.

This is a trace of the power of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder and the Returning Void Immortal Thunder, fused into the immortal fire. Its power is beyond words. With just this thunder and fire technique, Gu Yuan can start refining immortal pills.

But at this moment, within this ball of thunder and fire, a small piece of gray immortal iron was floating in the middle, seemingly unaffected by any fire magic, and remained completely still.

Myriad Spirit Immortal Iron!

The fragment of the Immortal Seal obtained after slaying the Lord of the Myriad Manifestations Demon Seal.

This iron is extremely rare in the world. It is the main material for forging the Myriad Manifestations Demon Seal, which can simulate all the seals in the world.

Although it is broken at this moment, it can still change at will and become any kind of divine material in the world.

However... because it is damaged, it is not so easy to change. It needs to be burned with immortal fire to burn out the "immortal patterns" before it can change.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, after Gu Yuanlei's fire had been burning it for a month, the iron finally showed a slight change.

The originally "charred" lines seemed to have been burned away, as if they had been reborn from the flames, gaining new life from the thunder and fire, and shining brightly once again.

"spirit……"

An ancient character for "spirit" blooms upon it, flowing with Taoist charm.

This character seems to have millions of strokes. Although it is just a single character, Gu Yuan seems to have read millions of meanings into it.

But Gu Yuan was not surprised, because this was precisely the mystery of the Myriad Spirit Immortal Iron.

Gu Yuan did not use his mind to activate the iron, but simply summoned the [Annotated Jade Tablet] with a thought.

In an instant, a deep blue light appeared and landed on the side of the Myriad Spirits Immortal Iron.

"call out!"

The Jade Tablet with Annotation is incomplete, lacking the [Annotation Immortal Stone]. However, this incomplete object has just awakened the spirituality of the Myriad Spirit Immortal Iron.

"call out!"

The character "灵" flowed and changed endlessly, eventually transforming into an ancient and mysterious character "注". Then, the entire piece of immortal iron melted rapidly, like snow under the blazing sun, and a mass of "immortal iron liquid" enveloped the character "注" and suddenly crashed into the [Annotation Jade Tablet].

"boom!"

"clang!"

Like a meteor striking the ground, or a resounding bell, a strange sound erupted from the [Annotated Jade Tablet], and a mysterious spiritual light surged in all directions. Even with the isolation provided by the Star Chariot Cloud Palace array's restrictions, a shockwave was still generated within the quiet room.

But a smile appeared on Gu Yuan's lips.

"It's done!"

"call out!"

A dazzling aura emerged from the center of the shockwave, and then a jade tablet, even thinner than before, suddenly leaped out.

The jade tablet was covered with countless mysterious and ancient jade patterns, resembling a pair of eyes that peered into the heavens and earth. Then everything disappeared, finally returning to calm, and it landed in front of Gu Yuan.

Without needing to refine it, a feeling of perfect harmony arose from the depths of his heart, and Gu Yuan instantly gained complete control over the newly refined [Annotation Immortal Seal].

Then—a strange sensation suddenly arose.

[A superior-grade Celestial Immortal foundation, with a unique and unknown destiny, possessing the potential to reach the Great Luo realm; dashing and extraordinary in appearance, truly worthy of being the master of my Immortal Seal.]

A peculiar perception, like words or speech, surfaced in Gu Yuan's mind, and the source of all these descriptions was himself.

The Immortal Seal was annotated, and the annotation appeared in his mind as he looked directly at it.

But that wasn't all. The longer Gu Yuan stared at the Immortal Seal with annotations, the more new annotations appeared in his mind.

Unfortunately, being at the center of this calamity, the odds are against them.

"The epicenter of the calamity..."

Gu Yuanyao looked around and saw nothing amiss, but he knew that the Annotation Immortal Seal, as the fifth-ranked being on the Qimen Immortal Seal Ranking, would not speak without reason.

The ability of this seal is to annotate heaven and earth, to see through the universe, and to analyze all spirits.

"Are we already at the center of this calamity?"

From the moment the Heavenly Palace issued the order that no one was to return to the Heavenly Palace without being summoned, Gu Yuan knew that something was amiss. However, he did not expect that the anomaly would come so quickly, and that it was a calamity!

The dragon star he was conquering was still at the center of the calamity.

As Gu Yuan pondered, another thought emerged from within the annotation of the immortal seal.

[Store up grain, delay fighting, and wait until the calamity pervades all the immortals and true dragons; perhaps then, good fortune will outweigh misfortune.]

"what……"

"It even includes survival techniques?"

Gu Yuan was immediately surprised, but at the same time, it was also within his expectations.

Annotations, by their very nature, can analyze the advantages and disadvantages and offer suggestions.

However, the fact that he could see through the aura of calamity was still beyond his expectations.

"As expected of the Qimen Immortal Seal..."

Gu Yuan immediately sighed, then manipulated the Annotation Immortal Seal to slightly change its direction, looking at the quiet room in front of him.

[An eighth-tier meditation chamber, elegantly furnished, with futons made of celestial silkworm jade silk and incense refined from celestial whale cloud oil... Hmm, this is the Star Chariot Cloud Palace, a superior eighth-tier extraterrestrial immortal palace, capable of arranging the Yin-Yang Star Array, the Heavenly Chain Immortal Array... It can seal magic gates, pollute immortal energy, and resist this palace.]

[It can also be sealed by the law of heaven and earth, trapping this palace. This palace houses 100,000 heavenly soldiers and 20 celestial officials. It only needs to be trapped for 365 years, and it will collapse without being attacked.]

With just a slight sweep, the Immortal Seal of Annotation penetrated the entire structure of the meditation room and even the Star Chariot Cloud Palace, revealing the general method for dealing with the Star Chariot Cloud Palace. The only regret was that there was no specific method, only a general direction.

Intrigued, Gu Yuan opened his mouth and spat out a huge dragon corpse that appeared in the quiet room.

[An eighth-tier dragon corpse, with pure bloodline, was the third-generation grandson of the Dragon Court, the Ink Thunder Dragon Lord. He died because his soul dissipated, likely killed by the Dragon Slaying Platform. His Heavenly Edict vanished without a trace, and was seized by the Twelve-Story Immortal Foundation.]

[The dragon corpse of Thunder can be forged from dragon scales into immortal robes, dragon blood into longevity pills, dragon flesh into qi and blood pills, and dragon bones into cultivation treasures. If the dragon corpse is preserved using suppression techniques, a true dragon puppet can be obtained. Alternatively, if a soul is allowed to inhabit the dragon corpse, a true dragon avatar can be obtained.]

With a single sweep of the Immortal Seal, the dragon's identity, origin, cause of death, and the application of its corpse were all transmitted to Gu Yuan's mind.

"Truly interesting, worthy of being called a wondrous seal!"

Gu Yuan immediately smiled and couldn't help but praise him.

This seal is indeed useless in terms of killing, but it can see through everything in the world with just one glance and give a general idea of ​​how to deal with it.

While not omniscient, he is close to omniscience.

All other methods of discerning delusion pale in comparison to this seal.

If he had possessed this immortal seal when he first entered Dragon Star, he wouldn't have been deceived by Dong Lingzi's scheme; everything would have been as clear as reading the lines on his palm.

This seal, when combined with the stone liquid, should have extraordinary uses.

"call out!"

Gu Yuan sighed inwardly, but did not try any more. He simply reached out and gestured, and the seal immediately transformed into a stream of light, falling into his eyes.

From then on, his eyes became the annotation marks of immortals, and everything he saw had an "annotation".

After doing all this, Gu Yuan didn't rest. Instead, he waved his sleeve and directly summoned the [Nine Dragons Blood-Drinking Jar]. The great battle on this star had ended, but their mission was not yet complete.

Slaughter is merely to remove obstacles; the ultimate goal is to refine the Dragon Star, only then can it be considered complete.

Refining a one-star item requires painstaking effort.

It took him a full thirty years to conquer the [Ember Star].

This Dragon Star is even larger and more vast. Although he now controls the Second Palace and the [Heavenly Banner Palace] has been transformed into the [Star Chariot Cloud Palace], it will still take at least thirty years to completely refine this star.

No one can predict what will happen in the next thirty years, so we must take this opportunity to increase our strength while maintaining contact with the Heavenly Palace.

When he came to conquer Dragon Star, he received two instructions.

First, there's Ancestor Mingquan, who requires an eighth-tier true dragon to be captured alive while severely injured.

If it were a Dragon Lord, Gu Yuan would find it difficult to fulfill this request, but it was only an eighth-order true dragon, which was still within his capabilities. Immortal Yuanming had captured two, so he only needed to bring over one.

Besides that, there's the Dragon Lord's essence blood that Shouli Zhenren wanted.

Although the Dragon King is dead, his essence and blood have not lost their efficacy; all that is needed is to take one jar.

In addition, Master Shouli once said that if one could obtain all the dragon bones and spine, he would also be given a chance to become an immortal.

Gu Yuan was also very curious about this predestined connection with the immortals.

"Gulu!"

The Nine Dragons Blood-Drinking Jar possesses a spiritual quality, much like a living person drinking blood. In no time, the jar is filled, emitting a satisfied gurgling sound.

Gu Yuan immediately put away the jar, and then activated the command sword given to him by Master Shouli.

"call out!"

Immediately, a burst of spiritual light vanished.

Afterwards, Gu Yuan left the quiet room and had a brief conversation with Immortal Yuanming, whereupon he obtained a severely injured but still alive eighth-tier true dragon. Gu Yuan then activated the talisman given to him by Ancestor Mingquan once more.

"boom!"

The talisman burned, and a wisp of light shot into the void and disappeared.

Gu Yuan then prepared to return to his meditation room to cultivate his dragon-devouring skills.

The relay of the message takes time, and this time cannot be wasted; we still need to increase our strength.

For him, the fastest way to cultivate is still to eat dragons.

But Gu Yuan stopped abruptly just a few breaths after turning around and looked up at the sky.

"boom!!"

In the vast outer starry sky, the sound of wind and thunder suddenly arose, and then a pair of shadows, seemingly stretching across the sky and covering the sun, appeared.

The wings were enormous, boundless wings, like those of a Kunpeng, covered in wind and thunder.

The speed of these giant wings was indescribable; in an instant, they traversed the vast star and the universe, arriving outside Dragon Star.

In the past, Gu Yuan might have wondered about the origin of these wings, but now, everything is clear to him.

[The Immortal Seal of the World-Patrolling Realm: This seal possesses extreme speed. With a flash of its wind and thunder wings, it can traverse a great star and tour an entire realm. No restrictive technique can stop it; only extreme speed can catch extreme speed. However, this seal cannot be sustained for long; at most, it will be exhausted after ten breaths.]

The Immortal Seal of the World Patrol is one of the three immortal seals that Ancestor Mingquan was most proud of.

Gu Yuan had seen it once before, but he had never seen what it looked like when the seal was activated.

At that moment, beneath those enormous, sky-covering wings, stood a young man with rosy lips and white teeth.

[A Celestial Immortal from the Heavenly Palace Immortal Sea, possessing a superior mortal foundation and a body that has undergone mortal tribulations as an Immortal of Jade Void. Seemingly real yet illusory, her combat strength is unknown; she should not be trifled with.]

But with just one glance, Gu Yuan saw through the visitor's identity.

"A mortal immortal foundation... the body of a Jade Void Immortal undergoing tribulation?"

Gu Yuan suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.

"boom!"

In that instant, the figure had already traversed the star field and arrived atop the Star Chariot Cloud Palace.

As they drew closer, the enormous wings, as large as a roc's, slowly contracted, returning to their normal size. Combined with the boy's fair skin and red lips, he resembled a naturally divine winged being.

"The Celestial Official of Taihua, acting on the orders of Immortal Lord Mingquan, has come to collect the dragon's corpse."

The young man hovered in mid-air, bowed to Yun Que, and said loudly.

"Since it is by the order of the patriarch, then let us enter the palace."

With a wave of his sleeve, Gu Yuan dispelled the restrictions on the Cloud Palace, leading the young man into the palace.

"Greetings, Lord Donghua!"

"The Palace Master's divine might, slaying dragons and seizing stars, is truly awe-inspiring."

Upon entering the Cloud Palace, the young man did not rush to collect the dragon corpse. Instead, he first bowed to Gu Yuan to complete the proper etiquette.

"It's just relying on the treasure bestowed by our ancestor."

Gu Yuan knew that the person in front of him had a different background, so he didn't put on airs. He didn't say much, but just said something indifferently.

"Before the Immortal Lord sent me here, he said that the Palace Master has the appearance of a celestial being and unparalleled supernatural powers, but he must also understand the principle of a dragon lurking in the abyss."

"There is a half-finished immortal artifact here, which I bestow upon the Palace Master. I hope the Palace Master will refine it well."

The young man smiled slightly, bowed, and then with a flick of his sleeve, handed a small but grotesque jade raft to Gu Yuan.

[The Myriad Scales Escape Raft, a top-tier eighth-order immortal artifact, is currently in its semi-finished stage. It requires the melting and forging of three thousand uniformly sized bellies of a Thunder Dragon to be fully completed. This raft can carry both the physical body and the primordial spirit, ignoring countless restrictive techniques, allowing for instantaneous escape.]

With a single glance, Gu Yuan knew the origin of this treasure. He immediately bowed slightly and paid his respects towards the Heavenly Palace, saying, "Thank you for the treasure, Ancestor. I will always remember your words."

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer, Palace Master."

The young man smiled slightly, and without exchanging pleasantries, he immediately took the true dragon, flapped his wings, and flashed across the star field, disappearing into Dragon Star.

"A hidden dragon lies in the abyss..."

Gu Yuan pondered these four words, seemingly lost in thought.

This was the third time he had heard these words.

It seems that we really need to change our way of doing things.

Gu Yuan sighed inwardly, but showed it on his face. He simply walked back to the Cloud Palace Quiet Room to prepare to devour the dragon and cultivate.

Having previously devoured thirteen eighth-order true dragons, his physical body and immortal power cultivation had greatly increased. Now, his immortal power value had reached [1365], no less than that of Qing Tong Xian Shi, who had been an immortal for thousands of years.

To become a Jade Void Immortal, the required Immortal Power is only 3,652.

The physical enhancement is even more terrifying, having reached the late stage of the eighth rank.

If one were to devour Mo Tinglongjun, there would undoubtedly be an even greater boost.

The only pity is that the Dragon Lord's Heavenly Decree was used by Dong Lingzi to nurture the Thunder Seed, so this time when he devoured it, his magic power could not be amplified. The only thing that could be amplified was his physical strength.

Reaching the peak of the eighth rank should be a sure thing.

However... reaching the ninth level will likely be difficult.

The amount of vital energy required for this final step far exceeds the accumulation required for the Eight Realms.

However, an eighth-tier peak physical body is already enough to dominate the Azure Wandering Realm.

Time flies when you're cultivating by devouring dragons.

Gu Yuan quickly digested everything about Mo Tinglongjun, leaving only a skeleton and scales.

Just then, a young Taoist disciple arrived late outside the Dragon Star.
