I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 774: Help in the fight, the Three Lives Immortal Stone
The Immortal Lord of Records?

Gu Yuan was immediately surprised.

The Heavenly Palace has accumulated its resources over tens of thousands of years, yet it only has a few dozen Jade Void Immortal Lords. Although he has never had any interaction with them, after becoming a Jade Void Immortal, recognizing people is not a problem.

Si Lu Xianjun, the senior brother of Si Chen Xianjun, was the former sect leader of Tianming Sect. It is said that he had cultivated the law of destiny and cause and effect to the highest level and had incredible supernatural power. However, a "secret incident" occurred in Tianming Sect back then, and he no longer served as the sect leader. After that, he disappeared and never showed himself in front of people again.

Even though all the Jade Void beings had shown themselves before, this person remained silent, his figure hidden in the vast clouds and mist, seemingly just an accessory.

I didn't feel anything at the time, but now that I think about it carefully, I can't remember what this person looks like anymore. It seems that I will slowly forget everyone who has seen him.

Gu Yuan knew that this was an extraordinary supernatural power.

He had already cultivated himself into a Jade Void Immortal, and could never forget someone he had met once. Yet, he could not remember the face of the person he had met ten years ago. How strange!
However, this was not the time to ponder such things. A Jade Void Immortal Lord, who had cultivated for countless years, arrived to visit. Gu Yuan personally rose to greet him outside the hall.

"The arrival of Brother Silu is an honor to our humble abode. Please come into the hall immediately!"

Gu Yuan looked at the young man outside the hall, who wore wide robes and had eyes as bright as stars, and gestured an invitation.

The appearance of the Immortal Lord Silu had become blurred in his memory, but upon seeing him today, it became clear in an instant. Moreover, Gu Yuan felt that a faint "line" seemed to emerge from the body of the person in front of him, about to connect with him.

However, in the blink of an eye, the "thread" was retracted and reintegrated into the body of the Immortal Lord Silu.

"Upon seeing the Immortal Lord, my heart is filled with joy, and the threads of karma naturally overflow. Please forgive me, Immortal Lord!"

The Immortal Lord Silu smiled apologetically and bowed.

"Brother Dao, you have mastered the art of karmic retribution, remaining untouched by any consequences. Your methods are truly excellent!"

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

He had heard of this Immortal Lord Silu before, who severed all causal ties, was unrestrained and extremely carefree. Today, upon seeing him, he realized that this person not only severed causal ties but could also spontaneously gather the threads of causality, remaining untouched by worldly dust. This was truly a remarkable skill.

Even the commentator of the Immortal Seal expressed his admiration.

[The Immortal Lord Silu, whose immortal foundation is "Creating Fruit," severed the threads of cause and effect with a secret treasure. Amidst the great calamity, this person remains untouched by worldly dust. Unless he intervenes himself, and is personally appointed by a Great Luo Immortal, no one will remember him. He will quietly pass through the calamity, and even if he does enter it, he will undoubtedly be the last person in the Jade Void Realm to undergo it!]

The annotations on the Immortal Seal gave it extremely high praise.

The last person to enter the tribulation in the Jade Void Realm!
Why would someone like that suddenly visit me?
Gu Yuan was puzzled, but the Immortal Lord Silu sighed, "These are merely some means of avoiding calamity. Avoiding battle is ultimately a inferior strategy..."

"All immortals wish to avoid the calamity, but how many can actually do so?"

Gu Yuan shook his head, then led the Immortal Lord Silu into the hall, where they sat down. Gu Yuan then waved his sleeve, and immortal tea appeared to entertain the Immortal Lord Silu.

"It was thanks to Immortal Lord Sichen that I severed the karmic ties and was spared from the curse. It is a pity that Immortal Lord Sichen's physical body was cursed to death, and only his spiritual light escaped from Jinhai Star. I originally wanted to go to this star to retrieve his [life coffin], but I was stopped by Ancestor Miaoyuan, who said that once the physical body dies, it is only a temporary escape from the great calamity, and it is not convenient to disturb him."

"But I still feel guilty. If there is anything I can do to help you, please don't hesitate to ask."

After the two drank the immortal tea, Gu Yuan took the lead in talking about the matter of Immortal Lord Si Chen, which served as an opening and also intended to use this opportunity to report to the Heavenly Fate Sect.

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Lord Silu smiled slightly: "He is not proficient in the Dao of Destiny. If there is no truly outstanding talent to quickly break through the previous tribulation, with his cultivation, he will inevitably have to delve into the real great tribulation sooner or later, and there is a risk of death and annihilation. Therefore, I used the method of destiny to let him change his name and enter the tribulation. Although his physical body has now turned into dust and his strength has been greatly reduced, he will not have to be tainted by the current tribulation."

"To be honest, he should thank the Immortal Lord."

"Changing your name to enter a calamity?"

Gu Yuan was taken aback, then seemed to understand something, realizing what had happened in the past.

To die but not perish is indeed a way to escape calamity.

Unless the Heavenly Palace reaches its final, desperate situation, no one will go to search for the coffin of the Immortal Lord Sichen and force him to fight.

The Dragon Court's attention was entirely focused on the Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace, so they wouldn't pay any attention to a mere Jinhai Star.

However, this gave him a deeper understanding of the cause and effect of the person in front of him.

The Immortal Lord Silu smiled slightly and changed the subject: "The past cannot be retrieved; it is all set in stone."

"Now that great calamities are raging and the Xuanhuang have returned to their rightful place, the Immortal Lord has spent ten years cultivating his mind. I wonder if he has any plans to deal with this?"

Ten years of cultivating the mind? Is there a way to cope?
With the return of Xuanhuang to its rightful place, the Origin Daoist Temple is about to appear in the world. There are two new positions for the Great Luo Immortal, and both Jade Void Immortals can compete for them. At this moment, the Recorder Immortal Lord inquires about the appropriate course of action. What exactly is his intention?

Gu Yuan put down his cup and looked at the Immortal Lord Silu, his gaze full of meaning: "There are many calamities ahead, and the road ahead is uncertain. I wonder what you have to teach me, brother?"

The Immortal Lord Silu also put down his cup, looked at Gu Yuan, and asked without answering, "Leaving aside the Dragon Court, Immortal Lord, looking throughout the Heavenly Palace, do you know who possesses the potential to become a Great Luo Immortal and attain the Dao Fruit?"

This question was too sharp, and Gu Yuan immediately laughed and said, "The eight meridians of the Heavenly Palace and the immortal lords of all sects are all wise and powerful, and which one of them does not have the potential of a Great Luo Immortal?"

The Immortal Lord Silu laughed: "Could there really be fifty Great Luo Immortals in this world?"

Gu Yuan smiled, but did not speak.

He didn't know what the Immortal Lord Silu was up to. Most importantly, this person was not involved in any karma, and he had no dealings with him in his daily life. Now that a great calamity was approaching, it would be inappropriate to say anything for no reason.

The Immortal Lord Silu seemed to know what Gu Yuan was thinking, and smiled again: "Immortal Lords who become immortals at five hundred years of lifespan and Jade Void at six hundred years of lifespan are few and far between throughout history. Whenever there is a calamity, they always bravely move forward and never retreat. Today, the Xuanhuang has returned to its place, and a new position in the Great Luo has become vacant. Does the Immortal Lord not have any desire to compete for it?"

The desire to compete? Of course it exists.

After ten years of cultivation, Gu Yuan has come to understand his own heart.

In his life, he relied on stone sap, on chance, and on struggle!
If he had no desire to win and only thought about waiting for the right time, he would never have achieved his current level of cultivation.

It is precisely because we strive every time that we can catch up with every wave of the trend.

Now that the greatest "power" in the world has arrived, how can we not fight for it?
There's no need to say these words to the Immortal Lord Silu.

Gu Yuan countered, "Brother Dao, your cultivation is extraordinary, and you have mastered the art of destiny and cause and effect. Do you have any intention of competing with me?"

The Immortal Lord Silu shook his head: "There was only one master of the art of fate and cause in the world, and that was the original master of the Karma Seal. After the seal was shattered, there has never been a true master in the world."

"After severing my ties with the cause and effect, I knew that this life was not worth fighting for. The only way to survive was to live in seclusion and avoid calamity, and wait for the world to stabilize."

"I have come here today to lend a helping hand to that which can stabilize the heavens and the earth."

Gu Yuan was immediately surprised and couldn't help but look up at the Immortal Lord Silu.

Having said all that, the meaning of the Immortal Lord Silu is quite clear.

Gu Yuan was puzzled, so he asked again, "Brother Dao, who do you wish to help?"

The Immortal Lord Silu did not answer, but simply waved his sleeve, and nine copper coins appeared in the air.

The nine bronze vessels reflect the starry sky, and faintly visible are a few illusory seal characters, as thin as mosquitoes and flies.

"Those who are born in the East will not perish even in calamity."

These eight seal characters resemble a cryptic verse, flowing continuously, carrying a mysterious charm.

“At the beginning of the calamity, I used all means to cast a divination for myself, and these eight characters are the divination words.”

"But this divination is incomprehensible, even I find it difficult to understand. The deeper the calamity, the more ambiguous the divination becomes. Even a Great Luo Immortal would find it difficult to predict the future, let alone me..."

"But after surveying the entire Heavenly Palace, I still forced myself to interpret this divination and gained some insight." The Immortal Lord Silu's eyes shone brightly, like stars, as he looked at Gu Yuan: "Seeing a radiant light in the east indicates that one can avert calamity. I have come here today precisely to lend the Immortal Lord a helping hand!"

Sure enough!

Gu Yuan sighed inwardly.

He had already guessed what the Immortal Lord Silu had said, but he didn't expect that he really wanted to lend him a hand.
In the face of such a great calamity, how can we rely on others?
But thinking back to those days, that was indeed the case.

When the supreme beings fought for the Seal of Immortality and achieved the Great Luo status, they also received assistance from many ancient sects, which led to their joint ascension.

During these ten years, although he never went out, he knew that there were many people traveling to and from various immortal palaces, but no one knew the specifics of their conversations.

Gu Yuan shook his head again: "My cultivation time is still short, my skills are shallow, and my magic seals are weak. How could I possibly gain the favor of an immortal lord?"

"Our Linchuan Immortal Lineage has Ancestor Mingquan, who embodies the Dharma in the mortal world, and Ancestor Xunfeng, who possesses great supernatural powers. Why don't you, Immortal Lord, pay them a visit?"

The Immortal Lord Silu burst into laughter: "Why should the Immortal Lord belittle himself?"

"The Linchuan Immortal Lineage, while the second and third generation Jade Void cultivators certainly possess extraordinary abilities and countless immortal seals, the Immortal Lord, who possesses both the Reincarnation and Grotto Heaven seals, is no ordinary person?"

"The Qimen Dunjia Immortal Seal is truly exceptional!"

"Moreover, there are still opportunities even amidst great calamities..."

But Gu Yuan still shook his head.

Amidst the calamities and the fact that everyone in Jade Void was an enemy, a stranger suddenly came to his aid. Instead of feeling proud, he felt a sense of unease.

Even immortals have no help, let alone other immortals.

Under the influence of calamity, people's hearts become unpredictable.

How can one accept the grace of a celestial being so easily?

Knowing what Gu Yuan was thinking, the Immortal Lord Silu immediately smiled and said, "Ten years from now will be the time to enter the Xuanhuang realm, and also the time when the calamity begins. Although the Immortal Lord's methods are extraordinary, without the support of top-tier immortal seals, you may be hampered."

"The reason I have come here today is that I possess a treasure that is perfectly suited for the Immortal Lord's use!"

Having said that, he said no more. With a flick of his sleeve, a treasure box flew out, the lid opened by itself, revealing a grayish-white immortal stone inside.

This stone is the size of a goose egg, perfectly unified, with three flowing "immortal patterns" on it, exuding an indescribable Daoist charm.

"The Three Lives Stone!"

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan's heart stirred.

The Reincarnation Immortal Seal within his body, which had been quiet all along, suddenly trembled, as if it couldn't wait to merge into the stone.

The Three Lives Stone is a wondrous stone born after the ancient Sea of ​​Reincarnation shattered. It possesses the power to reincarnate and live three more lifetimes. If integrated into the Reincarnation Seal, it can greatly aid in the seal's repair, restoring seventy percent of its power.

[Strange stones are unobstructed, and free from any curses or karmic consequences.]

The Immortal Seal immediately provides its annotations.

In fact, when Gu Yuan first saw the Reincarnation Immortal Seal, the annotation of the Immortal Seal gave him a method to repair it. However, the Three Lives Stone is extremely rare in the world and can help the Jade Void Immortal reincarnate and undergo three cycles of physical death. It is a true life-saving item, and no one would offer it up unless absolutely necessary. Gu Yuan had no choice but to give it up.

But unexpectedly, it fell into the hands of the Immortal Lord Silu.

Furthermore, the Immortal Seal, controlled by Gu Yuan, had seen through the stone and provided a very safe warning.

This seal is of exceptionally high rank, even the Great Luo Immortal cannot hide it from it. However, the Great Luo Immortal also knows the power of annotation and will forcibly shield it. But as long as the annotation is successful, there will be no mistake under the Great Dao.

This stone is harmless and can be accepted.

Gu Yuan, however, did not move. Instead, he looked at the Immortal Lord Silu and said, "No reward without merit. With the great calamity approaching, why not keep such a treasure for yourself, Brother Dao?"

"Even immortals cultivate their destiny; why not take a look and see for yourself?"

The Immortal Lord Silu sat up straight and waved his sleeve.

"That's offending."

Gu Yuan possesses the Sacred Infant Fruit, so he can naturally see through the fates of all living beings in the world.

However, such investigations cannot escape the notice of those with great supernatural powers, especially those like the Immortal Lord Silu who specialize in the study of cause and effect and destiny, so he did not offend him.

But now that the Immortal Lord Silu has spoken, Gu Yuan will not hold back.

Within the inner landscape of his dantian, the Holy Infant Fruit opened its eyes, and golden light also shone in Gu Yuan's eyes as he looked at the Immortal Lord Silu.

"boom!"

In an instant, the light of destiny shifted, and smoke and dust swirled above the head of the Immortal Lord of Destiny, transforming into a line of small characters in the field of vision that only Gu Yuan could see.

"Hidden life, fierce battles, escaping the fate of celestial beings..."

Hiding in the world offers a glimmer of hope, but endless strife and murderous intent are ever-present, making them born with the destiny of immortals who seek refuge from the world.

This is an extremely strange destiny, as if it were a prophecy, determining the life of the Immortal Lord Silu.

"The way of fate is most mysterious; forcibly altering it will only bring misfortune..."

"Now that I've given up on that idea, even if I'm hiding in the world and fleeing from the Great Dao, I still need a powerful backer to anchor me..."

"I will hand this stone over to the Immortal Lord. Whether you use it or not is up to you."

The Immortal Lord Silu sighed slightly, seemingly lamenting his fate, before dropping the stone and transforming into a streak of light, disappearing from the spot.

It came suddenly and left like the wind.

But Gu Yuan sensed that an extremely thin "causal thread" was quietly entwining around him.

However, he was pure and untouched by dust, so the "causal thread" could not find a way to fall on him.

Gu Yuan's gaze fell upon the Three Lives Immortal Stone in the hall.

The universe will return to its proper place in ten years.

The liquid stone is still, and the dragon's body cannot swallow it; how can it contend for it?

Gu Yuan sighed softly and no longer hesitated.

To give up eating for fear of choking is a cowardly act.

He grabbed the Three Lives Immortal Stone, and the Reincarnation Immortal Seal trembled, swallowing the stone and beginning to refine it.

"call out!"

And that delicate "causal thread" finally found its anchor point, quietly falling and connecting with Gu Yuan.
