I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 792 All the immortals bowed down to Gu Yuan!
The universe exploded, and countless blue lights vanished, turning into ashes.

That is the "Tao" being annihilated.

The so-called "Primordial Beginning" and the so-called "Azure Emperor" were all shattered and vanished into nothingness under an unspeakable force.

Immortal Lord Wangji's expression changed drastically.

He watched Gu Yuan's battle yesterday and learned about Gu Yuan's final method of defeating Jiu Xuan.

The removal of the Heavenly Disqualification Immortal Seal, coupled with the inexplicable power of the Ascension Immortal Seal, allowed him to surpass the top-tier Immortal Seal, [Please the Dao and Slay Immortals], in rank, completely destroying the Nine Profound Great Victory's dream.

But what he saw that day, that "great power" was indeed formidable, but it also had its limits.

He anticipated that his immortal foundation would be unable to withstand the power after the ascension, so he used the [Primordial Innate Seal] in an attempt to resist this great force.

He thought everything was under control, and even if he couldn't defeat Gu Yuan, he could at least temporarily contend with Gu Yuan's immortal foundation.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yuan spoke for the third time, and Wei Li's power increased once again.

All laws perish, and the Way cannot exist!
What arrogant words! But at this moment, they have become reality.

Immortal Lord Wangji felt that the whole world was dark and gloomy, all the Dao had left him, and all the great power and all the immortal energy had abandoned him.

Even if he retains his original rank and remains at the Jade Void Realm, the Zhou Tian world is already in the Dharma-ending Age, a desolate wasteland.

He was banished to a space of "no morality".

With the Immortal Foundation defeated, the battle has already lost several parts of its duration.

"May my destiny come true, carry me out of the end times!"

But Immortal Lord Wangji remained calm and simply spoke.

In an instant, a hazy gray immortal seal rose above the head of Immortal Lord Wangji.

As soon as the seal appeared, a mysterious power emerged, transforming into a blue bird about ten feet wide, ethereal and indistinct in appearance.

"cry!"

The bluebird's cry was so clear and crisp that it suddenly lifted the Immortal Lord Wangji.

Immortal Lord Wangji is still in the "end of Dharma" and cannot rely on any power. However, in the body of the Azure Bird, he has a glimmer of hope. It seems that he will never be defeated and will never lose his power. Even the "Dao" around him is being restored.

[The Primordial Form and Name Seal, one of the Five Primordial Seals, can materialize the intangible into reality. It possesses incredible power; 'hope' materializes into a bluebird, ensuring that hope is never lost, that there is always a glimmer of hope, and that one will not perish.]

The Immortal Seal's Annotation immediately revealed its origin to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan immediately sighed as well.

As expected of the oldest ancient immortal, Wangji Immortal Lord, who wielded two of the Five Primordial Seals, was able to transform "Hope" into a bluebird, carrying him out of the Dharma-ending Age and finding a glimmer of hope.

But he is determined to win today's battle.

"Thunder comes!"

Gu Yuan gave a soft shout, and in an instant, the Thunder Spirit Immortal Body in his dantian suddenly opened its eyes. Then, it pointed its finger, and the Returning Void Immortal Thunder suddenly flew out, also turning into a beam of green light, and struck the Hope Bluebird carrying the Forgotten Immortal Lord.

The Returning Void Immortal Thunder is the most powerful thunder in the world, capable of causing all methods to vanish and cease to exist, even obliterating memories.

The Bluebird of Hope is a formless being from the beginning of time. In particular, the word "hope" is the most ethereal and powerful name. Even the Heavenly Thunder of Returning to the Void would not dare to say that it could strike it.

"boom!!"

But when the Immortal Lightning of the Returning Void flashed with a blue light, it seemed as if some terrifying power was attached to it, elevating its status and allowing it to face hope directly, shattering everything!
"boom!!"

In an instant, to the astonishment of all the immortals, the bluebird that had been carrying the hope of Immortal Lord Wangji and was about to help him fly out of the "End of Dharma" let out a mournful cry, and then shattered with a crash, turning into thousands of streams of light and dissipating.

Moreover, it seems that a celestial pattern is missing from the [Primordial Form and Name Seal], the embodiment of hope has vanished forever, and the bluebird of hope is gone forever.

This scene shocked not only the immortals, but also Immortal Lord Wangji.

In a daze, he felt that he was not facing a Jade Void Immortal, but a Great Luo Ancestor.

Gu Yuan's every move possessed immense power.

Before him, nothing—the beginning, forms, names, and hope—is of no use.

He was extremely shocked, but he also knew that the situation had reached its most critical moment.

"rise!"

Beneath his feet, a celestial map appeared out of nowhere, depicting mountains, rivers, the sun and moon, and countless great paths, seemingly representing a universe that allowed him to linger briefly in the "Land of the End of Dharma."

"Banner is coming!"

Then he suddenly shouted, and another golden immortal seal appeared, with endless Daoist rhymes flowing within it, filled with immortal light.

Amidst the shimmering light, a golden divine banner condensed in the void, bearing four large characters that seemed to spring forth from heaven and earth: "A Name That Does Not Live Up to Its Name!"

This is not an ancient, top-tier immortal seal, but a seal created in later generations. However, its status is extraordinary, possessing the ability to "define" and reduce the power of all magical techniques and supernatural abilities, causing their status to decline and become unworthy of their name.

He had already sensed that Gu Yuan's methods possessed power beyond his rank. The only way to bring this battle back to normal was to make him "disqualified."

"boom!"

But at that moment, the golden banner swirled in the air for a moment, then seemed unable to withstand any force, and with a bang, it exploded on its own, turning into thousands of golden flames.

Only a slightly damaged immortal seal flew back into Immortal Lord Wangji's dantian.

"what?!"

Immortal Lord Wangji was immediately shocked.

The fact that the Immortal Seal, which was not worthy of its name, exploded on its own means that the opponent's "rank" has surpassed the power that was not worthy of its name. It is a truly supreme power, worthy of its name, and unchangeable.

With all the immortal seals broken and now residing in the Land of Dharma Decline, devoid of even 'hope', Immortal Lord Wangji looked up and saw Gu Yuan standing with one hand behind his back, smiling at him from beyond the heavens, without making any move.

Immortal Lord Wangji was suddenly in a daze, as if he had realized something.

"Donghua, please accept my seal once more..."

When Immortal Lord Wangji spoke, his voice was hoarse.

"We beg the Ancestor to intervene!"

Gu Yuan nodded with a smile.

"Wow!"

Immortal Lord Wangji pointed his finger, and in an instant, a vast, dark river flowed, with an imprint rising from the river, bearing two large, mysterious characters.

life and death!

The Immortal Seal of Life and Death, also known as the Book of Life and Death Seal, contains the names of countless beings in the world. Simply cross out a name on the seal, and the owner of that name will immediately die. No matter what methods or means you use, they will all be useless.

The Immortal Seal immediately provided its annotations.

But below this footnote, there is another line of smaller print.

Gu Yuan smiled slightly upon seeing this, but said nothing more. At this moment, Immortal Lord Wangji had already summoned this seal from the Dark River.

In an instant, countless light screens swirled, displaying countless names, each corresponding to a soul.

All things under the Heavenly Way are contained within this seal.

This is a truly top-tier immortal seal, and also the last trump card of Immortal Lord Wangji.

He had already seen that Gu Yuan's entire status and all his Dharma seals had been elevated in an indescribable way in a single day, and every move he made exuded supreme power.

He could no longer compete with Gu Yuan using ordinary methods.

In the current situation, Gu Yuan has already shown restraint.

Since there are two new positions, and aside from the leader, he was already the strongest immortal, it would be a great pity for him to die at this moment.

This is Gu Yuan's pity.

Knowing this "pity," he proposed to fight for another seal.

Because he had also held back, not using his most lethal immortal seal. Their fight had only reached this point to determine a winner; it would be too regrettable for it to end in life or death.

So he wants to fight for it again!
But in the blink of an eye, his expression changed drastically, and then he sighed softly, giving up completely.

On the seal of life and death, Gu Yuan's name did indeed appear. However, the two characters "Gu Yuan" were dim and obscure, as if the light of the Great Dao flowed endlessly over them, unlike the other names, which were gray and fixed.

There are eight other names with similar obscure and mysterious connotations, but their colors are even more profound and indescribable.

[...But with the extraordinary advancement of the Immortal Seal, I, the most revered master of the Immortal Seal, will experience an ineffable boost to all rank, immortal foundation, and immortal seal. No seal can be chosen, no technique can be written, and the seal of life and death bears no name. In the Jade Void Realm, one will be invincible!]

This is the annotation of the Immortal Seal on the second line after the Seal of Life and Death.

This also foreshadowed the outcome of the battle between Gu Yuan and Immortal Lord Wangji.

Gu Yuan's cultivation has reached its peak, and all his methods are now unparalleled. He has already surpassed all the immortals, and with the help of those who have transcended the rules, he has truly reached the pinnacle of his abilities.

The battle against Immortal Lord Wangji was, of course, the strongest battle against his opponent, but it was also the easiest battle.

With the third opening of his mouth and the shattering of his immortal foundation, the battle was essentially decided.

"In this battle, I have lost..."

Immortal Lord Wangji sighed softly, then turned to look at the assembled immortals:
"By order of the Ancestral Master, we will compete for the Daoist position three times to determine the new position. However, the Dragon Court uses flesh and blood as sacrifices to create the Pure and Wonderful Realm. Therefore, the leader of all immortals is needed to compete for this realm."

"Now that the five-day battle is over, the champion of our Heavenly Palace has emerged!"

"If any of the immortals have objections, they may argue again and redefine their titles!"

After speaking, Immortal Lord Wangji's gaze pierced through the heavens, sweeping over all the immortals.

This is the second round. Anyone who is dissatisfied with the leader or the second-place winner can start another struggle to redefine the titles.

Because the Heavenly Palace is selecting a true leader, someone capable of defeating the Dragon Court.

Upon hearing these words, all the immortals lowered their heads and bowed, not daring to look directly at them.

In the path of cultivation, those who attain enlightenment come first.

Regardless of Gu Yuan's age or whether he is a descendant of several generations of immortals, none of that matters anymore.

The disintegrating "Dao" from beyond the heavens and the incomplete Dharma seals have truly demonstrated his methods.

The summit of Jade Void is undoubtedly the pinnacle of the mountain.

Although the immortals were filled with mixed emotions, none of them dared to step forward again.

The heavens were silent, and immortals stood in rows, but all of them bowed their heads.

All of this was within the expectations of Immortal Lord Wangji.

Now that things have come to this point, there is no longer any controversy.

He sighed inwardly, but immediately composed himself, bowed slightly to Gu Yuan, and said, "I respectfully invite the Immortal Lord to enter the Pure Void Realm!"

The oldest and most ancient Jade Void Immortal in the Heavenly Palace bowed his head in worship to the six generations of immortals.

The immortals were filled with indescribable emotions.

But this bow was a bow to the supreme Dao, a bow to the supernatural powers that allow one to roam the universe.

So-called seniority and hierarchy cannot compare to true power.

With all power gathered in one body, surpassing even the strength of immortals, this bow is fitting!
"We respectfully invite the Immortal Lord to enter the Pure and Wondrous Realm!"

In an instant, all the immortals in the vast heavens bowed their heads and paid a deep salute to Gu Yuan.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan was also filled with emotion.

After many trials and tribulations, we have finally reached the pinnacle.

"We still need the help of all the immortals to slay the true dragon, destroy the Dragon Court, and add a new Great Luo position to our Heavenly Palace!"

Gu Yuan bowed and returned the greeting to the immortals.

This was a strategy that had been agreed upon long ago.

Although Gu Yuan now possesses unparalleled power, he will not act rashly.

After all, that was the Dragon Court's last resort in a desperate gamble, and they still needed to be careful.

"Determined to help the Immortal Lord, slay the dragon and destroy the court!"

All the immortals responded loudly.

……

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

For Xuanhuang, these were just two ordinary days, but for the immortals of the Heavenly Palace, these two days were extraordinary.

Admittedly, Gu Yuan's methods were superb, defeating Wangji Immortal Lord with an almost overwhelming force, but the methods of the Dragon Court cannot be ignored.

Moreover, this battle is of paramount importance to the Heavenly Palace, far more important than the internal strife within the Heavenly Palace.

If this battle is lost, all efforts will be in vain, the Heavenly Palace will lose a new Great Luo position, and the Dragon Court will gain a new Great Luo position.

The back and forth not only affects the pattern of Xuanhuang, but also the pattern of the heavens.

Therefore, we must strive to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Therefore, all the immortals did their utmost, lending Gu Yuan and Wangji Immortal Lord all the treasures they could offer or lend.

Logically speaking, since Immortal Lord Wangji has settled in another superior-grade Daoist temple, he shouldn't need to use various treasures and immortal seals. But who knows if the Dragon Court's companion cultivation method might cause any unforeseen changes?
In addition, within the realm of the mysterious and the primordial, there may be ancient beings emerging, influencing the overall structure.

Therefore, in order to ensure absolute safety, Gu Yuan was given priority in selecting various immortal seals and treasures, while the rest were lent to Immortal Lord Wangji, and the two entered two separate Daoist temples.

All the items belonging to the immortals are treasures, and refining them all within two days and making them as easy as one's own body is no easy task. Even with the help of the immortals, the two of them still need to concentrate fully and do their utmost.

Fortunately, it was ultimately successful.

……

……

On the seventh day, as dawn broke, a forest of immortals stood, their presence obscuring the sky, and they were the first to land outside the two Daoist temples.

The Myriad Immortals Diagram and the Heaven and Earth Golden Furnace both shone brightly, hanging above the two Daoist temples in preparation for any eventuality.

"Please, Immortal Lord, enter the Daoist temple to slay the dragon and secure a new position for my Heavenly Palace!"

All the immortals bowed their heads and shouted towards the distant horizon.

Ripples spread through the void, and Gu Yuan materialized from the distance, appearing outside the Daoist temple.

"I will certainly not disappoint the immortals!"

Gu Yuan smiled faintly, and then, amidst the expectant and tense gazes of the immortals, he gracefully walked into the Pure Void Wonderland.

The Pure Void Wonderland is one of the two most prestigious Daoist temples in the Xuanhuang Guiwei (Returning to the Original State) Daoist Temple. It is filled with chaotic light and swirling mist that obscures the sky, blocking all prying eyes.

There is only one narrow path shrouded in mist, which rises straight up from the foot of the mountain to the summit.

At the summit of the mountain lies a vast, boundless lake.

The faint silhouette of a real dragon with distinct scales can be seen in the lake.

Above that giant lake, there was a fist-sized ball of golden light, shining brightly and dazzlingly. Even the Jade Void Immortal would feel a strange surge of greed upon seeing it.

Without using any magic, Gu Yuan simply followed the misty path and strolled to the edge of the giant lake.

As if sensing the presence of an "outsider," the previously silent and indistinct image of a true dragon in the giant lake gradually became clear, and a pair of golden eyes suddenly rose from the lake like the sun.
