I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 743: Keep a low profile and listen to Yuan Longjun

The origin of the stone bottle is currently unknown.

Gu Yuan did not exhaust his efforts to explore. After using the stone liquid once and not finding any opportunity, he began to focus on cultivation and instructed the celestial officials and soldiers to refine the Dragon Star.

Refining a large star is truly a slow and painstaking process; even with all the immortal formations activated, it would still take at least thirty years.

Gu Yuan was not in a hurry. He had already followed the advice of Dong Lingzi, Zhujie Xianyin, and Mingquan Zushi, and would no longer act rashly and aggressively to kill the enemy.

This peaceful time was perfect for cultivation, and Gu Yuan took this opportunity to begin refining the Myriad Scales Escape Raft.

This raft is already a fairly complete semi-finished product. All that's needed is to melt the belly scales of the Ink Dragon Lord into it to complete its form.

Although Gu Yuan wasn't a master craftsman, he could still complete the final step of melting dragon scales.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

The Myriad Scales Escape Raft was finally completed.

But on that very day, a celestial light suddenly appeared beyond the Dragon Star, and then a celestial being from beyond the star came.

Gu Yuan did not appear in person, but only sent the Left Palace Envoy to receive them.

Not long after, the immortal Biyou left with regret, and then the Left Palace Envoy came to report to Gu Yuan: "Reporting to the Palace Master, the Palace Envoy of Douwang Palace has been dismissed by your subordinate."

Gu Yuan did not leave the quiet room, but simply asked, "What brings you here this time?"

"Reporting to the Palace Master, it is still the same as before. Palace Master Qing Tong Xian Shi of Dou Wang Palace wishes to invite the Palace Master or Yuan Ming Xian Shi to go to Long Shang Star to jointly destroy the Dragon Clan."

The Left Palace Envoy answered respectfully.

This is not the first time this has happened.

Gu Yuan's swift killing of Mo Tinglongjun and his occupation of this star was something no one had expected, and this news naturally spread to the neighboring dragon stars as well.

Originally, conquering Dragon Star would take several decades, which was quite normal.

Because after the Dragon Star was refined, it became the territory of the Dragon Clan, and all formations or dragon flags that control the power of heaven and earth possessed immense power.

Neither Qing Tong Immortal nor Yuan Xia Immortal were weaklings, but there was also a pure-blooded Dragon Lord on Dragon Star. In addition, the Dragon Lord held all the advantages of timing and location, making it extremely difficult to eliminate them in one fell swoop.

Even Gu Yuan only managed to seize Dragon Star so easily because his immortal foundation was able to counter the formation, rendering the power of heaven and earth useless against him, and because Mo Ting had mistakenly trusted Dong Lingzi.

Perhaps it was Gu Yuan's swift capture of Dragon Star that caused anxiety in the other three palaces, or perhaps the formation on Dragon Star was indeed difficult to break and they had no other choice. In the past few months, the other palaces have sent several groups of celestial officials to seek the help of Gu Yuan and his companion.

If it were the old Gu Yuan, he might have gone to help.

After all... slaying the Dragon Lord would be a great tonic for him.

But things are different now.

Dong Lingzi, Mingquan Ancestor, and Zhujie Xianyin all gave the strategy of "hidden dragon in the abyss" and "concealing one's talents and biding one's time".

The Dragon Court is not dead after all; the Great Luo Immortals still exist, and there are quite a few ninth-order true dragons. If it were just one or two dragons, the Dragon Court might be able to tolerate it, but if it goes too far and is too aggressive, it will become a thorn in their side.

The great calamity has already begun; being too flamboyant will only bring about your own demise.

Although he was a direct descendant of the Heavenly Palace, if the Dragon Court suddenly attacked and did everything in its power to take his life, the Heavenly Palace might not be able to protect him in an instant.

At the very least, there is no Jade Void among Dragon Stars now.

Therefore, as long as the other three halls do not encounter life-or-death crises, Gu Yuan does not plan to take action for the time being, but instead plans to cultivate peacefully in Dragon Star.

Furthermore, if he leaves, and another Dragon Lord from the Dragon Clan comes to seize the star, all the previous efforts will likely be in vain.

We must endure these thirty years no matter what.

“Well done, but we can’t be too heartless. Send two celestial officials to assist Senior Brother Qing Tong. If Dragon Merchant Star really encounters a crisis, then quickly send an order to let me know.”

Gu Yuan flicked his hand, handing a palm-sized, shimmering green scale to the Left Palace Envoy.

This is a secret order he crafted from dragon scales. Even if there are stars separating them, he can instantly learn the information as long as it is written on it.

"Respect the law!"

The Left Palace Envoy accepted the order, then took his leave and arranged for a celestial official to go to Dragon Merchant Star.

For a moment, the entire Star Chariot Cloud Palace fell silent again, with only the Yin-Yang Immortal Array continuously operating to refine the Dragon Star.

……

Time passed peacefully. Although he was in the midst of a great calamity, Gu Yuan continued to cultivate quietly, undisturbed by external things.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

The dragon star was slowly refined, and the vast ocean that covered the star receded considerably, revealing many celestial peaks brimming with spiritual energy.

The conquests of the other three palaces were also proceeding at a steady pace, without any major achievements, but also with great stability.

Gu Yuan sat cross-legged in the quiet room, simultaneously inhaling and exhaling the Primordial Cloud Sprout and the Primordial Dragon Qi, his cultivation deepening day by day.

But on this day, he suddenly felt sleepy and an overwhelming drowsiness washed over him. In an instant, he stopped his cultivation and fell into a deep sleep.

"Human, you have slain a true dragon, a crime deserving of death! Kneel down now!"

As the clouds rose, vast and boundless, a tremendous sound suddenly resounded from a magnificent palace in the clouds.

Gu Yuan suddenly regained consciousness and looked up. He saw a colossal dragon, its size unknown and its shape resembling a mountain, staring coldly at him from within the clouds.

This dragon's eyes are like the sun, shining brightly, carrying the majesty of a celestial emperor. Every scale is filled with the light of the Great Dao, and the entire dragon body seems to be the embodiment of the Great Dao, perfectly embodying the rules of the Great Dao.

"Your Majesty!"

Beside this majestic dragon were the shadows of countless gods, all with dragon heads and human bodies, their faces ferocious and majestic. They all spoke in unison, their voices shaking the heavens, exerting pressure on Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan showed no sign of panic.

Panic often stems from the unknown.

In Gu Yuan's eyes, there were few unknown things left in the world.

[The Great Dream Weaving Immortal Seal: This seal can silently and forcefully pull immortals into a dream. The scenes within the dream are all woven by the seal's owner. Immortals entering it are in a daze, unable to realize they are in a dream. If their mind is destroyed in the dream, their immortal body will also suffer severe damage, even death and dissipation. Moreover, upon waking, they will develop a natural fear of the dream weaver, as if they were a natural enemy, difficult to resist.]

[But under my annotations, there is no illusion; all dreams can be shattered through annotation.]

[However, the greatest ability of this seal is not to weave into dreams and kill enemy cultivators, but to hide a wisp of one's own spiritual light in the dreams of countless living beings. Even if the true body is killed and the soul is scattered, as long as the countless living beings whose dreams are hidden have not all died and there is still a dream, the soul and body can be reconstituted, making it almost immortal and extremely difficult to truly kill.]

Only by using the immortal techniques of dreams to instantly locate the soul of the Seal Master hidden within all dreams can the Seal Master be completely slain.

The annotation instantly appeared in his mind, informing Gu Yuan of his current location.

Dream Space!

Moreover, when he looked up at the majestic dragon, a commentary also emerged in his mind.

[The third-generation dragon prince of the Dragon Court, the youngest son of the Chizhu Dragon Lord, the Lingyuan Dragon Lord, is warlike and arrogant, yet innocent and carefree, possessing the potential of a ninth-rank being.]

In just a moment, Gu Yuan learned about the origin of the dragon before him, and even understood its personality.

This is the power of the Immortal Seal Annotation: under the Great Dao, everything can be annotated and analyzed.

Upon seeing this dragon, Gu Yuan vaguely guessed its purpose.

"Another Dragon Lord, and the son of the Dragon Sovereign at that. It seems he intends to reclaim Dragon Horn Star..." "Kneel down!"

"Your Majesty!"

At the very moment Gu Yuan began his annotation, the angry roar from the sky grew even louder, like thunder rumbling and echoing through the heavens. A terrifying pressure emerged, threatening to force Gu Yuan to kneel.

"Noisy!"

But Gu Yuan simply flicked his hand, and a wisp of azure lightning shot into the clouds.

Returning to the Void: Immortal Thunder.

"boom!"

In an instant, all the clouds and immortals vanished, and even the towering dragon, tens of thousands of feet long, suddenly shrank, transforming into a crimson dragon a hundred feet long.

Although this dragon was also tall and majestic, with Daoist patterns appearing on its scales, compared to that majestic dragon, it was like a firefly compared to the light of the bright moon.

This was only because Gu Yuan controlled the power of the Returning Void Immortal Thunder. Otherwise, if he hadn't lost consciousness, as long as he activated this thunder, the dream space would have immediately dissipated, and he could have even injured the true body of the Listening Abyss Dragon Lord through this dream.

If it were an ordinary immortal seal, Gu Yuan could even completely "annihilate" it, along with the memories, from the Dragon Lord's body.

However, the Great Dream Weaving Fate is somewhat special. This seal hides itself along with countless spiritual lights within the dreams of living beings. Unless all dreams are destroyed, there will be no true "death".

This is not to say that the Great Dream Weaving Fate can surpass the Returning Void Immortal Thunder; the power of this thunder is beyond doubt.

However, this seal is also a top-tier ancient seal. With this seal in hand, one can temporarily preserve one's life under the Guixu Immortal Thunder, and not die instantly.

It must be a precious treasure bestowed by the Dragon Court, specially designed for the Returning Void Immortal Thunder.

After all, the Dragon Court should already be aware of all the battles that had taken place on this star.

Since that's the case, Gu Yuan naturally didn't bother to activate the Returning Void Immortal Thunder. He also wanted to leave this dream behind to see what the Dragon Lord's son was really up to.

"It really is the Returning Void Immortal Thunder..."

"Mo Ting is truly incompetent. To possess such a divine lightning seed and still perish is utterly laughable. He has only served to aid our Dragon Court's enemy..."

At this moment, as the clouds and mist dissipated, Lord Lingyuan spoke again, his eyes shining with golden light as he stared at Gu Yuan.

He received his father's instructions that day and immediately wanted to come to Dragon Star to fight Gu Yuan directly, take back Dragon Star, and let the Dragon Court know about his supernatural powers.

However, he was forcibly stopped by the dragon envoy who had been assigned to accompany him by his father.

The Dragon Envoy patiently explained the battle information on this star. It was because of this that he learned that Gu Yuan had the heaven-defying destiny of devouring dragons, possessed the method of reincarnation, and even refined the Returning Void Immortal Thunder that Mo Ting had painstakingly cultivated and invested countless efforts in.

The fate of the dragon-devouring, the law of reincarnation, the immortal thunder of returning to the void!

Each one possessed formidable power and was incredibly terrifying, especially the Returning Void Immortal Lightning, which almost completely countered all the divine abilities in his hands, making it virtually invincible at the eighth rank.

Such methods and such supernatural abilities made even his flamboyant nature become more cautious.

Left with no other choice, he could only refine the [Great Dream Weaving Fate] Immortal Seal and hide his spiritual memories in the dreams of countless dragons and various spirits, so as not to be struck dead by the Returning Void Immortal Lightning upon first sight.

He then refined the treasure bestowed upon him by his father and another precious artifact he had possessed in his youth, which restored his flamboyant nature. He rushed to Dragon Star, eager to challenge Gu Yuan to a duel.

But being flamboyant does not equate to being foolish.

Long Xing has been missing for several years, and going there now might be dangerous. Therefore, he remotely activated the Great Dream Weaving Fate to meet Gu Yuan in a dream and find out the truth.

I thought that the Great Dream Weaving Fate technique was incredibly powerful. Even if Gu Yuan had the Returning Void Immortal Thunder in hand, he would inevitably be momentarily dazed and confused, and his mind could be affected by me, allowing me to glean some details.

Unexpectedly, in just one exchange, Gu Yuan activated the Returning Void Immortal Thunder, completely destroying the dreamscape he had woven.

He could sense that if Gu Yuan wanted, this dream would be destroyed in an instant, and his own body would also be injured.

The Returning Void Immortal Thunder truly lives up to its name.

Mo Ting deserves to die!
However, the Returning Void Immortal Thunder was exactly what he had expected. Therefore, although he was furious, his expression remained unchanged. His dragon body moved and transformed in the air into a handsome young man with two horns on his head, a face like jade, and eyes like stars.

"Human, do you know your crime?"

Transforming into human form, the Dragon Lord Lingyuan remained indifferent and once again questioned Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan didn't answer, but just looked at the young man indifferently.

Such words and such questioning—does the Heavenly Palace truly exist for show?

The Dragon Court has fallen so low, what face does it have to utter such a question?

Seeing that Gu Yuan did not answer, Ling Yuanlongjun's face showed a hint of anger, but he remembered his purpose today and held back. He said to Gu Yuan again, "I admit that you have some skills. Mo Ting's star guarding was unfavorable, and he deserved this calamity. I will not blame you."

"But Dragon Star is the land of my Dragon Court, and I must take it back."

“I do not wish to humiliate you. Three days from now, we will fight in the outer space. You and I will come alone, and you are not allowed to bring any celestial officials or dragon subordinates. If you win, I will leave immediately and never mention the conquest of Dragon Star again.”

"If I win, you must immediately open this Cloud Palace from Dragon Star and never allow it to return, how about that?"

They actually want a decisive battle on the planet?

Gu Yuan found it amusing.

Although he has only been refining the Dragon Star for two years, he has already refined a region of his own and gained a slight home-field advantage.

With Mo Tinglongjun dead, the Dragon Clan has no advantage on this star. In such a situation, wouldn't it be a joke for him to go to the outer star alone to fight a strange Dragon Lord?

Moreover, in such a great calamity, it would be too naive to think one could extricate oneself after defeat.

However, recalling the annotations on the Immortal Seal, he suddenly understood.

This is a "second-generation dragon" who has cultivated in the Dragon Court for thousands of years, possesses exceptional talent, and has never encountered any setbacks.

In the past, if he encountered such a "Heavenly Dragon", he would immediately go forward to hunt it down and devour it.

But today, his thinking is much more stable.

"If you have the guts, then come and attack my Star Palace!"

Gu Yuan smiled faintly, then flicked his hand, shattering the dream.

"you dare!"

The Dragon Lord Lingyuan was furious and tried to stop him, but a mere dream was no match for the celestial lightning and shattered instantly. Gu Yuan's consciousness returned to reality.

"Another pure-blooded dragon lord has arrived..."

Gu Yuan opened his eyes, looked at the sky, and seemed to be deep in thought.

He has decided to bide his time and refrain from killing or eating the dragon for the time being.

But that doesn't mean we won't eat dragons in the future.

If one day I could directly swallow a dragon into the Jade Void, and possess invincible immortal techniques, it might not be impossible to eat it.

After all... above Jade Void lies the Great Luo.

As long as one stands firm in Jade Void and possesses sufficient means, one can withstand any backlash.

But this opportunity may only come once.

If things fail, they may face endless attacks.

We need to make some plans.

In fact, he already had a vague idea in mind, but he felt a little uneasy about implementing it himself, so it would be best to wait a while.
