I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 783 Immortal Lord Fuyun, whose heart is true?
Thirty-three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

But for Xuanhuang today, things are changing every single day.

The Heavenly Palace is gone, and humans and immortals coexist; Mahayana cultivators are no longer the pinnacle of human existence.

Most importantly, as many immortals returned to their respective sects, the reasons for the great changes in the world have gradually become known to many cultivators.

With the Dragon Court absent, the celestial beings of the Heavenly Palace are merely vying for the new position of Great Luo.

After endless reflections, the various sects and lineages grew bolder and began to venture out of their mountain gates to seek opportunities and improve their cultivation.

After all, a major change is not a bad thing, and the fighters are from the Xuanmen Heavenly Palace, which can be considered as elders of their own family.

The return of Xuanhuang to its rightful place is great news for the entire Xuanhuang Origin Land. In addition to the Origin Land Daoist Temple, many ancient spiritual lands have been revived, and countless opportunities have quietly emerged.

These opportunities, which are insignificant to Immortal Lord Yuxu, are extraordinary for cultivators at or below the Mahayana level.

The struggle for this cause continues, with some laughing and others crying.

During these thirty-three years, several top-tier Mahayana cultivators in the human realm broke through their cultivation levels and became immortals!
In an instant, a frenzied "cultivation craze" swept through the entire Xuanhuang.

In addition, many immortals of Biyou who were nearing the end of their lifespans also took this opportunity to make their moves, some openly and some with treacherous intentions.

Overall, the situation remains relatively stable.

After all, the Great Luo Immortal is still alive, and the Jade Void Immortal Lord is still in Xuanhuang. No matter how treacherous these Biyou Immortals may be, they have to restrain themselves and can only act in secret at most.

"boom!!"

On this very day, a brilliant light shot straight up to the heavens from the northern border of the Divine Continent, shining brightly for thousands of miles and illuminating the boundless land. Countless cultivators who were practicing or seeking opportunities in the vicinity flocked to the scene.

Among them were even Mahayana practitioners.

"clang!"

But in an instant, a vast divine sense descended from beyond the boundless realm, like an invisible giant shield enveloping the radiant light. Any living being was pulled out by a powerful force, unable to enter.

Not to mention Mahayana cultivators, even a Biyou Immortal cannot pass through this barrier of immortal thoughts.

“Fellow disciples, I will go first. If anyone wishes to compete, please enter the temple. I will not refine the treasures of the temple within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.”

The enormous sound resounded through the sky, but it only echoed in a specific direction; it could not be heard anywhere else.

Gu Yuan naturally heard it.

This is the voice of Immortal Lord Wangji.

He has already moved into the dojo, which is one of the twelve mid-grade dojos.

Thirty-three years later, the middle-grade Daoist temple finally evolved successfully and was able to be born.

But time passed quietly, and no one entered that temple.

As the oldest ancient immortal in the Heavenly Palace, Immortal Lord Wangji has long since ascended to the summit of Jade Void. His strength and profound knowledge are known to few in the Heavenly Palace.

He obtained a temple, and no one objected or contested it.

Gu Yuan naturally wouldn't be the one to stick his neck out.

Over these thirty-three years, the liquid stone had cooled down, and he used it once more during this period.

But no great discoveries were made.

The only thing that can be done is to gather the "opportunities" from these twelve temples together and try to turn silver into gold.

However, in doing so, the opportunities in other temples will no longer exist.

This is an utterly heinous act of robbing someone of their opportunity.

Moreover, having all the opportunities of various Daoist temples gathered in one place means that he must obtain that temple that possesses everything. If he fails, then everything will benefit someone else.

Gu Yuan ultimately did not do so.

We've already fought a fair and square battle; we can deal with the rest another day.

"boom!!"

After a silence lasting three incense sticks, a brilliant light once again shone down on the heavens and earth, illuminating the cosmos.

This time, the location is surprisingly in the East China Sea.

Another mid-grade training ground!
In the East Sea, countless aquatic spirits and monsters, along with nearby cultivators, rushed to the vicinity, hoping to find an opportunity.

"boom!!"

But suddenly, the entire area within that temple, spanning countless miles, was transformed into a sea of ​​fire.

The sea turned to fire, the mountains turned to fire, the sky turned to fire... even the void itself became scorching hot, and countless miles of land were reduced to a land of fire.

Immortal Foundation, Heavenly Fire.

This is the Crimson Cloud Dao Lineage, the Immortal Foundation of the Heavenly Rainbow Immortal Lord. This is the highest level of fire, possessing incredible power. In this instant, the physical bodies of all living beings within this vast expanse of land transformed into a ball of flame, becoming part of this world.

"boom!"

But suddenly, a giant wave rose from the sea of ​​fire, engulfing the fire that these living beings had transformed into. Then, with a swirl of the wave, all the flames disappeared. When they reappeared, they were already in all the realms of Xuanhuang.

"Fellow Daoists, please enlighten me!"

The voice of Celestial Rainbow Lord resounded throughout this realm, and also in the hearts of the twenty-four lower-grade Daoist lords.

But after the silence, no one stepped forward.

The strongest cultivators in the Heavenly Palace are now twelve people.

The leaders of the Eight Meridians Immortal Lords are all at this level. In addition, the two Immortal Lords of the Nine Heavens Pavilion and the Azure Nether Sect are also at the pinnacle of Jade Void, and have been famous for countless years.

Besides these ten people, a Celestial Lord from the Jade Purity Sect, who had cultivated for countless years, used unparalleled means to kill a fellow Jade Void cultivator during the previous competition for a lower-grade Daoist site, thus rising to the pinnacle and becoming the eleventh person with the pinnacle cultivation in the Heavenly Palace.

In addition, the cultivation of Patriarch Mingquan also made great progress.

These twelve individuals possessed cultivation levels surpassing those of the Jade Void Realm, with the leaders among them possessing indescribable supernatural abilities.

Therefore, when Immortal Lord Wangji and Immortal Lord Tianhong entered the Daoist temple, all the other immortals remained silent and did not make a move.

But Gu Yuan knew that all of this was just the prelude to the storm.

There are only twelve mid-grade Daoist temples available, but there are still twenty-four Jade Void Immortal Lords who are qualified to compete for them. How can they not compete?
Some of them were even fellow cultivators.

The current abandonment is merely a prelude to dormancy.

But Gu Yuan remained unmoved.

He had a goal all along.

Although he did not use the stone liquid to gather opportunities, he already knew that these twelve dojos were "abundant with opportunities".

His goal is the ninth dojo.

This dojo is a deep silver opportunity, the best among all dojos, and ranked ninth, thus avoiding the competition for the top eight. Everything is just right.

"boom!!"

While Gu Yuan was pondering, another temple was born.

The radiant light illuminated the mysterious landscape, revealing that the place where this new Daoist practice had emerged was none other than the Eastern Mountain Domain.

However, for Jade Void Immortal Lord, the four regions of Xuanhuang are no different; he can reach them with a thought.

"Hoohoo!"

Clouds and mist floated, obscuring the sky and covering the entire temple grounds.

Amidst the clouds and mist, countless cloud lotuses could be vaguely seen rising and falling, and stars seemed to move.

"Fellow Daoists, do you have any guidance?"

A soft laugh rang out, as clear and melodious as jade beads. It came from the Cloud Wave Immortal Vein, from Immortal Lord Fuyun.

This is his foundation for immortality, his divine encounter.

But this time, the world was no longer silent.

"Senior brother, I've come to learn your immortal techniques!"

In the seventh low-grade Daoist temple, a tall female immortal with a radiant face rose up. Her voice resounded through the clouds and mist. Without any visible movement, she vanished from her spot and reappeared in the clouds and mist.

The Jade Cauldron Immortal Lineage, the Azure Merchant Immortal Lord, is a rare female immortal among many immortal lords. She possesses extraordinary strength, has been famous for ten thousand years, and is already a top figure, only one step away from the peak of Jade Void.

Now that she has taken the initiative, the attention of all the immortals has been drawn to her. Even when a fourth mid-grade Daoist temple appears, they pay no heed.

This was, after all, a competition among celestial lords in the Heavenly Palace. The immortals maintained their celestial demeanor and did not engage in fierce battles like those in lower-ranking Daoist sects, rushing to claim ownership of their respective sects.

"Junior sister, please..."

Immortal Lord Fuyun chuckled softly, then his figure vanished into the clouds, leaving no trace. Only endless clouds and mist covered the sky and the sun, enveloping Immortal Lord Qingshang.

If you want to fight a Celestial Lord, you must first destroy his Celestial Foundation. If you can't even destroy his Celestial Foundation, how can you talk about fighting?
The [Divine Encounter] Immortal Foundation of Immortal Lord Fuyun is one of the top Immortal Foundations in the world, and it is a true method of the Great Dream.

As stated in the "Fuyun Immortal Scripture": "When the spirit encounters something, it becomes a dream; when the body interacts with something, it becomes an event. One thinks about something during the day and dreams about it at night; these are the encounters between the spirit and the body."

The clouds and mist churned, and in an instant, countless figures appeared, shadowy and indistinct.

These figures include men with ferocious faces, teachers holding rulers, elegant young men with jade pendants at their waists, and skeletal demon corpses... and even, in a daze, a seal that radiates boundless light, attracting the thoughts of all living beings!
The Seal of Immortality!
And all of this emerged from the clouds and mist.

These are all dreams that Fairy Qing Shang had throughout her life, and now they have all come true, leading to her encounter with him.

One cannot know the severity of a situation without being there.

To outsiders, this is nothing more than an illusion created by clouds and mist, but in the land formed by the [Divine Encounter] Immortal Foundation, everything is real.

All the scenes from the dream have become real and reflected back to life, and the "you" facing all of this is not the Jade Void Immortal Lord, but the self who dreamed back then.

Before cultivating, you fear your father; upon entering school, you fear your teacher; a young girl in love, you admire a young man; upon embarking on cultivation, you fear demon corpses; upon achieving success, you yearn for immortality… When your peak cultivation in Jade Void is gone, and you return to the past, how will you cope with everything in your dream reflecting reality?
If one fails to cope with even one dream, they will be completely trapped in the dream, forever losing the power of an immortal lord and the realm of Jade Void.

This is the ultimate foundation for "heart" and "dream," and also the first hurdle to overcome when entering the mountain to meet the immortals and battle the Cloud-Piercing Immortal Lord.

If you can't get past this hurdle, you won't even be able to see the face of Immortal Lord Fuyun.

But since Qing Shang Xianjun has issued the challenge, he must have something to rely on.

As she stepped into the [Divine Encounter] dream, a shimmering blue immortal seal quietly appeared above her head.

This immortal seal has a very peculiar appearance. On top of the square seal is a "big stick" that hangs above the seal and emits a bright light.

The Great Awakening Mind Seal!

This seal has only one power—to deliver a sudden and powerful blow!
It can awaken all those who are trapped in dream illusions, preventing them from falling into delusion.

"Bee!"

Just as a hazy phantom appeared in front of Qing Shang Immortal Lord, the staff suddenly floated up from the Great Awakening Heart Seal, transforming into a golden staff phantom, and swung fiercely towards the head of Qing Shang Immortal Lord.

If this blow lands, Immortal Lord Qing Shang will immediately wake up and be freed from all the torment of the dream.

"Young merchant, life is like a dream. Do you really think this seal is real?"

But just then, a soft laugh rang out from the vast expanse of clouds and mist.

The instant the sound rang out, the golden, gleaming staff suddenly passed over Qing Shang Xianjun's head and missed its target.

This seal seemed to be just a phantom, and it did not exert any divine power. On the contrary, in the thick fog, countless shadows had solidified into physical forms and walked towards Qing Shang Immortal Lord one by one.

Dreams are reality, and reality is dreams.

Everything that appears in a dream becomes reality, and everything in reality naturally becomes a dream.

Dreams cannot interfere with reality.

The dream and reality were reversed; the Great Awakening Heart Seal of the Immortal Lord Qing Shang had become an illusion.

"One should abide nowhere and yet give rise to the mind. My body is real, my mind is real, and all dharmas are real!"

At that very moment, Immortal Lord Qing Shang suddenly spoke, his lips slightly pursed, uttering resounding words.

She is now influenced by the [Divine Encounter] Immortal Foundation and is worthy of the Immortal Lord's power. These words are not spoken by her but by her "heart".

Within her "heart chamber," there was an illusory seal connected to her heart.

On this seal, Daoist patterns flow and transform into four small characters: Dao Heart Supreme Truth!

The Dao Heart Supreme Immortal Seal is the top immortal seal among heart seals. Those who possess this seal will have their Dao heart intact through countless eons of life and their will undying even as the universe perishes.

All methods of questioning the mind and illusions are useless against him.

She always believed in herself, remained steadfast in her convictions, never gave up, and never doubted herself.

The Immortal Seal of Awakening Heart is real, the dream is false. I am the Jade Void Immortal Lord, how could my mind be unstable due to the influence of my father in my youth and my teacher at school?
Everything is just a life experience. Even after countless reincarnations, I can still cultivate myself into the Jade Void Immortal Lord!
"Buzz!"

The originally illusory Awakening Immortal Seal trembled instantly, transforming from illusory to real, about to become real again, while the hazy, real dream scene emerged with an illusory color, about to return to the Great Dream.

"Young businessman, do you believe it to be true just because you think it's true? Do you believe it to be false just because you think it's false?"

"The heart is the most useless thing..."

Just then, a sigh rang out from the vast expanse of clouds and mist.

Then the Immortal Seal of Awakening Heart, which was about to materialize again, trembled and then turned into an illusion once more.

The illusory, shadowy figures then become real again.

Moreover, among these figures were many terrifying figures and great demons that Qing Shang Immortal Lord had never dreamed of.

Immortal Lord Qing Shang's expression immediately changed.

Because in her heart, the eternal and indestructible Dao Heart Supreme Immortal Seal also appeared illusory.

What is a divine encounter?

A divine encounter becomes a dream.

But dreams are not unique to Qing Shang Immortal Lord; they are also present in Fu Yun Immortal Lord.

Qing Shang Immortal Lord believed that all her laws were true and that she was unwavering in her commitment, but Fu Yun Immortal Lord believed that all her laws were illusory and nothing more than a grand dream.

Whose heart is true?
It doesn't matter whether it's true or false, it only depends on whose path is superior.

What you think is just what you think.

It cannot change the world, nor can it change my heart.

Perhaps your heart will never change, but your imprint, in my eyes, is all illusory.

Including your body.

"call!"

As the clouds dispersed, both of Qing Shang Immortal Lord's seals transformed into a cloud of mist and vanished into the world.

As soon as the two seals were released, her state of mind became unstable, her magical power began to dissipate, and even her physical body began to turn into nothingness.

This dream belongs to Immortal Lord Fuyun.

Everything he thinks in his dreams is real; everything he thinks in reality is an illusion.

Qing Shang Xianjun was merely a figure in his dream.

She is not the real protagonist.
