I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 753 The Curse of Reversing Cause and Effect, Seeking Help from the Heavenly Palace
This scene was completely unexpected, happening in the midst of the battle. Even Gu Yuan couldn't react in time and was swallowed whole by the majestic dragon that was 100,000 miles long.

Inside his belly, there was nothing but emptiness and darkness, with no distinction between up and down, east and west, left and right, north and south. In a daze, he seemed to have been swallowed into some deep abyss, where he could no longer see the dragon's body and flesh.

But in this world, there is no way to deceive him anymore.

[The Dragon Abyss Cause and Effect Pearl: After consuming this pearl, one's form transforms into a majestic mountain, capable of swallowing the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers. It possesses the power of certain karmic consequences. Anyone who is consumed and cannot break free of the restraint within ten breaths will be reduced to a wisp of water and vanish into nothingness; even the Jade Void Immortal is no exception.]

[Breaking the seal would leave one unharmed, but would leave a karmic ties with the Devouring Dragon that would be difficult to remove.]

This method employs both Yin and Yang tactics, possessing extraordinary mystery and potential danger. Only those with immense magical power and the ability to sever karmic ties can remain unharmed.

The annotation of the Immortal Seal instantly conveyed this previously unseen secret technique of the Dragon Court to Gu Yuan's mind.

The advantages, disadvantages, and solutions are all explained in detail.

But Gu Yuan still frowned.

A double conspiracy!

If one cannot break the shackles, one will turn into a pool of clear water; if one breaks the shackles, one will leave behind "cause and effect".

Gu Yuan had a strange feeling that Guangji Dragon Lord used this method because of this "cause and effect".

The Way of Cause and Effect is profound and extraordinary, possessing incredible power. The Immortal Seal of Cause and Effect was also top-tier in the ancient times of Xuanhuang.

However, with the destruction of the seal and the death of the immortals, the Way of Cause and Effect also declined. But the remaining laws of cause and effect are all incredibly powerful.

What is the purpose of creating karma with oneself?

Gu Yuan pondered in his mind, but his actions were extremely swift.

"call out!"

"Buzz!"

With a flick of his sleeve, the Reincarnation and Cave Heaven Seals immediately floated out. Then, he used his magic power to condense array flags and scattered them across the twelve palaces, instantly setting up a celestial array.

The Samsara Slash is due to the forbidden array!

Although time was short, Gu Yuan had the Qimen Dunjia Immortal Seal in hand. Even without any array flags, as long as there were items to suppress the formation, he could still set up an array in an instant, with the ability to change in countless ways.

This formation has no killing power, but it uses the method of the Reincarnation Cave Heaven to set up a "Cause-Severing Forbidden Domain" around Gu Yuan. Within this forbidden domain, the causal lines will be forcibly severed and bound.

However... without array flags, only using two seals to form an array, although it can unleash the power of this array, it is not complete and may not be able to completely sever the cause and effect.

But time was running out, and Gu Yuan had no other choice.

After all... if it is truly a thread of cause and effect, even the complete Reincarnation Cause-Severing Array might not be able to sever it.

"This place has no cause and no effect; everything is empty."

After setting up the immortal array, Gu Yuan spoke again, his voice as clear as the heavens.

The power of the unseen flowed, wanting to change everything, but this place was the "belly of cause and effect in the Dragon Abyss," no longer belonging to the ordinary world, but a mysterious realm. Gu Yuanliang's Heavenly Immortal Foundation could still function, but it was far inferior to the outside world. Only a hazy halo flowed, slightly altering a trace of "cause and effect."

Immortal Array and Immortal Foundation—this is the only method Gu Yuan possesses that can conceal and sever cause and effect.

Even the Jade Void Immortal cannot manipulate the threads of cause and effect at will.

"call!"

After doing all this, Gu Yuan no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath, and his body swelled up again, growing to a height of 100,000 zhang.

This is the limit of his ability to emulate the heavens and the earth, and also the ultimate physical body he has cultivated with all his strength.

"Heaven and earth unite!"

Gu Yuan roared, and the heavens seemed to follow him. The vast starry river seemed to appear behind him, transforming into a Dharma image, which he unleashed with a thunderous punch.

"boom!!"

This "Dragon Abyss Causal Belly" is empty and dark, without distinction between up and down, east and west, and is extremely mysterious. However, Gu Yuan's punch was delivered with all his might, bursting forth from the universe. The terrifying power was enough to shatter stars and sever the starry sky.

"boom!!"

Even the "belly of cause and effect in the Dragon Abyss" could not withstand it. In an instant, cracks appeared, the void shattered, and light shone through.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan did not feel much joy.

His punch was indeed powerful, but the "Dragon Abyss Cause and Effect Belly" was not as sturdy as he had imagined, and seemed to have no intention of trapping him at all.

Unlike Guangji Longzun's trump card.

If that's the case, then there's only one explanation.

The law of cause and effect.

Guangji Longzun's true purpose was to establish a "karmic connection".

But things have come to this point, and Gu Yuan has no better way to deal with it. The Dragon Abyss Cause and Effect Pearl has calculated everything, and only a technique that severs cause and effect with great power and great fortune can completely break it.

Without such power, one can only suffer its schemes.

When soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will dam it. We cannot give up eating because of a minor setback and die trapped in this "cause and effect of the Dragon Abyss".

Breaking open the dragon's belly and killing Guangji Dragon Lord might be the only way to eradicate this method.

"boom!!"

Gu Yuan's eyes gleamed, and without hesitation, he unleashed a punch that reversed the galaxy, shook the heavens and earth, and swept across the sky with terrifying power. The empty and dark "Dragon Abyss Causal Belly" could no longer withstand it and shattered with a loud crash.

"boom!!"

This was an unprecedentedly loud roar that resounded throughout the universe.

If someone were to observe the entire scene from a very distant place beyond the realm, they would see that the majestic dragon, spanning 100,000 miles, suddenly had a large hole burst open in its belly, and then this seemingly majestic, star-like, and indestructible mythical dragon would instantly shatter like glass.

"call out!"

However, in the unseen void, countless threads fell.

This line is invisible to the naked eye and beyond the reach of divine sense, yet it lingers around all living beings and permeates the universe.

The thread coiled and fell, like a large net, wrapping around Gu Yuan.

This line was faint and difficult to see even in the Jade Void, but Gu Yuan had a faint sense of it. Immediately, his mind stirred, and he tried his best to activate the Reincarnation Severing Forbidden Array, and commanded heaven and earth to try to stop this "net" from falling.

"clank!"

An invisible clanging sound resounded throughout the universe. Strands of silk were instantly cut apart, and the "ball of threads" that was originally like a net was instantly shattered. However, some remnants of the "threads" still fell into Gu Yuan's body.

Gu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, but there was no fear in his eyes; in fact, his killing intent was even more chilling.

"boom!!"

His ten-thousand-foot-tall body traversed the starry sky, arriving in an instant, carrying the immense power to shatter stars, and suddenly attacked Guangji Dragon Lord.

Although Guangji Longzun used the [Dragon Abyss Cause and Effect Pearl], his own state of the five signs of decay of heaven and man was not relieved. He only managed to maintain his body's indestructibility by relying on the [Sweet Rain Transformation].

At this moment, after the majestic dragon, spanning ten thousand miles, shattered, its body was suddenly exposed to the universe.

Gu Yuan's target is him!

The source of this cause and effect is the Dragon Lord Guangji. Killing him will eliminate all cause and effect. "Shed your scales and sever the cause!"

But Guangji Longzun simply spoke, and a stream of light streaked across the void.

It was a golden scale.

The scales, like swords, sliced ​​through the void.

Gu Yuanming was only a few feet away from Guangji Dragon Lord, but the void was suddenly torn open, and in an instant, the "distance" between him and Guangji Dragon Lord was suddenly widened, as if they were separated by an infinite universe, unreachable.

Moreover, this scale seems to have severed even the cause and effect, blocking all methods of pursuit and deduction.

This change did not only occur in Guangji Longzun's body.

"Shedding scales to sever the cause!"

"Shedding scales to sever the cause!"

The Dragon Lord of the Suspended Sun and the Dragon Lord of the Heavenly Law, who were locked in fierce battle, also spoke up in unison. In an instant, the void was torn apart, and all cause and effect were severed. The figures of the three Dragon Lords disappeared from the spot like a dream or a bubble.

The ambush, which had come with overwhelming force and was determined to kill Gu Yuan, ended abruptly.

It started strong but ended weakly.

But Gu Yuan suddenly reverted to his original form and looked at his chest.

His heart was empty, yet he sensed several "threads" binding it.

A sense of suffocation, as if facing a destiny, quietly rose in my heart.

[The threads of cause and effect bind us, seemingly harmless now, yet they have become the source of a curse. We must sever these threads with a treasure that cuts through cause and effect, or with supreme power, or face imminent danger.]

The Immortal Seal immediately provided an explanation, seemingly with a hint of urgency.

At this moment, Immortal Lord Miaoyuan and Immortal Lord Lingxi did not pursue the two Dragon Lords, but turned around and returned to Gu Yuan's side.

The molting and severing of scales is a secret technique of the Dragon Court. Once this technique is used, the Three Dragon Lords have probably returned to the last eight of the twelve Dragon Stars. These are the places where the Dragon Clan's heavy troops are gathered, the true front line of the Dragon Court, and cannot be easily broken.

"That was just now..."

Immortal Lord Miaoyuan's eyes shone with a deep blue light as he looked at Gu Yuan and asked in a solemn voice.

"Dragon Abyss Karma Pearl..."

Gu Yuan looked at this third-generation patriarch he was meeting for the first time and answered in a deep voice.

"It's this pearl after all. So that's how it is. The dragons of the Dragon Court are really getting worse as they get older..."

This pearl is extremely rare, almost never appearing in the mortal world. Although Immortal Lord Miaoyuan had some guesses, he was not sure. Now that he had received Gu Yuan's affirmative answer, he immediately understood. Then, his eyes turned slightly cold, revealing a hint of disdain.

However, his expression remained solemn.

"This bead contains the power of cause and effect and is an ancient treasure. Once you are entangled by the threads of cause and effect within this bead, you will become the source of a curse."

"You have just entered Jade Void, yet you cultivate both physical strength and magic, and possess top-tier immortal seals such as the Qimen Dunjia Immortal Seal. The dragons of the Dragon Court know this, and they cannot make you perish and disintegrate without paying an unimaginable price. Therefore, this ambush is just a pretext, only to plant a karmic thread on you, and to use the curse technique to secretly kill you from afar."

"boom!"

Just as Master Miaoyuan finished speaking, black mist surged from Gu Yuan's hair, filling the air with a foul stench and defiling his immaculate body in the Jade Void Realm.

"boom!!"

But within Gu Yuan's dantian, Lei Lingxian suddenly opened his eyes, and then Guixu Xian Lei appeared, obliterating everything and completely dispelling the black mist.

"Hoohoo!"

But in an instant, a sound of wind arose within Gu Yuan's body. This wind was fierce, capable of scraping away bone and marrow, and was extremely terrifying.

"boom!!"

But Lei Lingxian simply extended a finger, and a beam of immortal lightning fell, extinguishing the wind.

"boom!!"

But in an instant, black flames erupted from his pores, threatening to burn him to ashes.

However, under the power of the Heavenly Thunder of the Void, everything was annihilated, and Gu Yuan was not harmed in the slightest.

However... this time, the Guixu Immortal Lightning did not completely annihilate the calamity. Every instant, a new calamity would appear, like the five elements in a cycle, constantly flowing and dying within Gu Yuan's body.

[The Karma Reversal Curse is an extremely vicious and dangerous technique. It uses the Five Elements as a medium to manipulate karmic forces, killing people invisibly. As long as karma continues, this curse will not be destroyed. If karma is not severed within three days, and karma reverses its course, even the Great Luo Immortal cannot save you.]

Only by severing the causal link can salvation be attained.

Immortal Lord Miaoyuan looked solemn as he explained the ferocity of the spell to Gu Yuan, while the annotation seal of the spell also appeared in his mind.

"It's actually a curse-based killing technique..."

Gu Yuan had not expected that Long Ting, who seemed to be coming to seek revenge in a grand and aggressive manner, would ultimately use a curse technique to kill.

Curse killing is a method that has always been insidious and unacceptable to heaven and earth. Yet, even the most powerful and revered disciples of the Dragon Court have begun to use this method.

"This curse lasts for three days, and my Heavenly Palace can lift it. However, if we do that, I'm afraid someone else will be plunged into tribulation again..."

Lingxi Immortal Lord gazed at the sky and spoke calmly, revealing the essence of the matter.

The principles of cause and effect are indeed profound, and the methods of incantation are indeed insidious, but as long as it is not an earth-shattering incantation that can kill instantly and even a great immortal cannot save, the Heavenly Palace must have a way to break it.

But in the current situation, asking someone to break the curse is like inviting someone into the game, which will only make things more complicated.

At the same time, Lingxi Immortal Lord was puzzled—Gu Yuan entered Yuxu in an instant and swallowed three dragons in a day, which must have exceeded the Dragon Court's expectations. Yet the Dragon Court used him as bait in an instant to try to lure out the immortals of the Heavenly Palace. What exactly was the purpose of this plan?

Could there be other tricks up their sleeve?
"A great calamity is inevitable. Given the current situation, it's only a matter of time before we have to storm those eight dragon stars."

"As for the so-called schemes, there is no need to worry too much. There is no situation in the world where death is inevitable. The most urgent task is to break this curse."

Immortal Lord Miaoyuan shook his head slightly, not thinking too much about it.

At their level of cultivation, unless they are beings who can manipulate fate and karma, all schemes will eventually be revealed and cannot be hidden from them.

Such beings naturally have the Great Luo Ancestor of the Heavenly Palace to deal with them.

All they had to do was deal with the various lords of the Dragon Court.

This incantation dispelled any joy Gu Yuan felt upon his advancement to the Jade Void Realm, but his face remained expressionless. He simply bowed to the two Immortal Lords and asked:

"May I ask the Ancestor, does the Heavenly Palace possess a treasure that can sever karma? If I have such a treasure, I can set up an immortal array, or perhaps I can sever this curse myself."

Immortal Lord Miaoyuan shook his head slightly: "I know your good intentions and I understand your methods. However, there are very few things in my Heavenly Palace that can completely sever causality. They are all treasures of one's destiny. If you want to bring out such a treasure, it is no different from entering a star."

"Moreover, your destiny is extraordinary. I'm afraid the Dragon Court has other plans. If there isn't a true Immortal Lord of Cause and Effect here, there will be turmoil."

Although Immortal Lord Miaoyun did not say it, she had already figured out the Dragon Court's plan.

"The great calamity is unavoidable, and thinking too much is useless. Today someone helps you sever the cause and effect, and you should also help them in the future. In the midst of calamity, this is the only way."

Immortal Lord Miaoyuan added a sentence, then said nothing more. He immediately flicked his hand, and a wisp of spiritual light flew into the Heavenly Palace to seek help.
