I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 798 The Ascension of All Seals, Final Refinement of the Stone Liquid

With the birth of the Great Luo, the universe underwent a tremendous transformation.

This is an inevitable change from top to bottom.

But Gu Yuan was already sitting upright in the Pure Void Realm, isolated from Xuanhuang, no longer caring about worldly affairs.

Although he achieved great success, it was not the end of the story.

The world is still undergoing tremendous changes.

Three years later, he will enter the outer heavens to help the Heavenly Palace compete for the Seal of Immortality. Although it seems that the Heavenly Palace's plan has won, the Dragon Court is, after all, a disciple of the Supreme One, and the outcome of this matter is still uncertain.

His original intention was to wait until everything settled down before seeing his old friends again.

But then I thought, the battle between the heavens might be a long and drawn-out affair, while with his help, my old friend could rise up on clouds in an instant and make incredible progress.

Therefore, he still showed up to meet them, made arrangements, and established the ninth lineage.

To be honest, he also had an "old friend," a fleeting romance.

But he is unwilling to get involved in this matter any longer for the time being.

Because when he became an immortal in the mortal realm, he had already made arrangements to entrust the matter of Fairy Mengyun to his senior sister.

My senior sister is meticulous and will arrange everything perfectly.

After glancing at Xuanhuang again, and then at Feng Yuanzhao and the other two women who were cultivating in the cave, Gu Yuan completely let go of all distracting thoughts and focused his mind on his dantian.

It's more accurate to describe it as a universe than as an dantian.

In the vast expanse, a golden Dao fruit floated, radiating boundless brilliance.

This fruit seems to reside in the dantian, yet also seems to exist above the universe; it is vast and indescribable.

With the help of this Dao Fruit, all the Dharma Seals within Gu Yuan's body underwent an incredible enhancement.

Previously, all his magic seals originated from the "world," representing the great power within the world. However, they were limited by the laws of heaven and earth, and even the greatest power had its limits.

Just like the Time-Shattering Technique, one can return to the Jade Void Immortal's Azure Wandering Realm to slay enemy cultivators, but one cannot return to a time further back.

The same applies to Immortal Lord Yanlu's Tai Su True Form Seal. He can control the True Form Technique in this world, and his physical body is so strong that it is indestructible by any technique, but he cannot make his past self immune to any technique.

The same principle applies to the mortal immortal foundation of Ancestor Mingquan.

He anchored himself in the mortal world, born yet immortal, but he could not anchor himself in the mortal world for all the years to come.

The power of a single method cannot penetrate all paths; that is the reason.

However, the Great Luo Realm is different. The Great Luo Dao is located "above the world," a unique and supreme path that surpasses all other paths in the world.

The methods unleashed by the Great Luo can penetrate all paths and dominate the world.

If one activates the [Tai Su True Form Seal] or the [Red Dust Immortal Foundation] at the Great Luo Realm, it truly anchors all the past, ensuring eternal existence.

Just like the [Divine Court Ranking], even if the celestial beings of the Heavenly Palace are killed in the long river of time and perish in the seal of life and death, they can still leave behind their spiritual light, because the [Divine Court Law] has already surpassed all the laws of Jade Void.

Reaching the level of Daluo is already a "transcendental state". To kill it, one must first shatter its "Dao" from the "world" and break its status.

Or perhaps they have unspeakable means to kill people using the law, to pursue their "way" and cause their way to perish.

This is extremely difficult.

But it's not impossible.

While the Great Luo Dao is indeed transcendent and possesses incredible power, that applies to all living beings in the "world." For those within the Great Luo realm, there are distinctions in the Dao's level and the strength of its methods.

Gu Yuan has not yet fought against a Great Luo at the same level, so he does not know his own "Dao" rank. However, at this moment, by looking inward at himself, he can examine his own seals and techniques.

Beneath the golden light of the Dao Fruit, all sorts of Dharma seals floated together, bathing in its glow.

Even the Thunder Spirit Immortal Body Seal is no exception.

Among them, only one seal was level with the golden light, and even with the help of the golden light, it faintly rose up, exceeding half of the Dao Fruit.

Exceeding the proper bounds!
This seal truly possesses incredible power.

After Gu Yuan ascended to the Great Luo realm, it was bathed in the golden light of the Dao Fruit and gained worldly abilities, even subtly surpassing the Dao Fruit by half a step.

The seal originates from the Dao, yet transcends the Dao; truly, the student surpasses the teacher, just as a sword is forged from stone, yet can cut through stone and sever gold.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan was also moved.

The seal is higher than the Way, which means that the seal has the power to destroy the Way.

Or rather, the way of this seal can transcend the way of the Dao fruit.

Undoubtedly, this is his trump card at the Great Luo Realm.

In addition, the Celestial Seal of the Grotto Heaven followed closely behind, bathed in golden light, and in harmony with the Dao.

The reason why the Cave Heaven Seal is on par with the Dao is not the Cave Heaven Seal itself, but the "wisp of lightning" within the Cave Heaven. This lightning, like a cloud, supports the Cave Heaven, surpasses all other seals, and is on par with the Dao.

Time flies!
This thunder is incomplete, and can only be stored within the Cave Heaven Seal, so its power is slightly weaker, but it still possesses the power of the Dao.

"Pity……"

Upon seeing this seal, Gu Yuan had already surveyed the heavens, but he did not see any trace of the [Time Strike].

This is the lightning of time, which is difficult to refine and complete, even for a Great Luo Immortal.

Only the primordial power of the return of the Xuanhuang to its rightful place, which nurtured the Sumeru Immortal Stone, coupled with Gu Yuan's various fortuitous encounters and the transformation from blue to silver, could yield this wisp.

To complete this lightning strike, or to refine it from nothing, only the "Guangyin Fruit" can be obtained.

However, in this world, there are probably no practitioners of this path among the Great Luo Immortals.

When Gu Yuan attained enlightenment, looking across the "River of the World," he only saw time flowing within it, but no Dao fruit had yet been formed.

Only a wisp of cloud drifted across the sky.

This is a sign that "Time" collapsed after it attained enlightenment.

To the side of the Cave Heaven Immortal Seal is the Qimen Dunjia Immortal Seal.

The location of this seal is extremely unique.

It rises and falls, sometimes floating, sometimes sinking, as if it were in water, its position moving with the water.

In addition, the Reincarnation Immortal Seal, the Return to the Void Immortal Thunder, the Heaven-Cleaving Disqualification Immortal Seal, the Forbidden Thunder Spirit Immortal Body Seal, and many other immortal seals are all under the Dao Fruit.

The Reincarnation Immortal Seal also floated in wisps, but a wisp of gray light on it prevented it from surpassing the Dao Fruit.

Gu Yuan immediately shook his head.

He knew that without becoming the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds and rebuilding the Netherworld Sea to further enhance the power of this seal, it would be impossible to surpass the Dao Fruit.

Beside the various immortal seals and the body of the Thunder Spirit Immortal, a radiant infant was also bathed in golden light.

Sacred Infant Fruit!
It can seize one's destiny and condense a life core into a wondrous fruit and infant.

At this moment, the infant is positioned under the golden light, which means that this fruit cannot be taken away from the Great Luo Dao, nor can it be taken away from the Great Luo life.

But there is no absolute in everything.

The saying "one cannot take the life of a living Great Luo" does not mean "one cannot take the life of a dead Great Luo."

Everything depends on Gu Yuan's methods.

Looking at the infant, Gu Yuan fell into deep thought again.

After achieving the Great Luo status, all magical power ceases to exist.

Everything depends on the "Tao".

Look at the "Dao Fruit" and the "Dao of the Immortal Seal".

Devouring ten thousand dragons is meaningless and will not bring him any growth.

However, his past devouring, cultivation of both physical and magical power, and attainment of the Great Luo realm still brought him enormous benefits.

Having attained the Great Luo, this proof is eternal, and his physical body is now at the tenth level.

If one day his Dao fruit is shattered and he loses all his methods, he can still stand tall in the "world" with only his physical body, surpassing all paths and reigning supreme over all heavens.

Like a giant, standing on the great river, gazing at the sky.

However... once the Dao Fruit is lost, it is difficult to maintain. If it is pursued by a Great Luo who has the Dao Fruit, it will not last long.

Unless one can "prove" oneself and transform oneself into the "fruit of the power," one can stand above all the heavens for a long time. To put it bluntly, the "power" of the "vessel proof" path is not complete, but as long as the fruit of the power is not lost, it is a tenth-level physical body with an additional means.

However, it's difficult to rely on it.

Because even if one did not cultivate the physical body before, after achieving the Great Luo realm, one can still reach this realm by simply cultivating the "Power Seal".

This is the mystery of the Great Luo.

Once one path is mastered, all paths become clear.

All the suffering endured below the Great Luo realm is, in this context, merely a matter of the mind.

Everything still needs to be debated.

However, Gu Yuan's purpose today is neither to cultivate his power nor to devour the myriad dragons.

It was for the sake of the stone liquid.

Upon achieving the Great Luo, he felt a change in the stone liquid.

He didn't know why this change happened, but he had a vague feeling that the change was significant.

Now that my own body is stable and all seals have been elevated, it is time.

"Shh!"

With a wave of his sleeve, Gu Yuan caused the entire Pure Void Wonderland to suddenly change, as if it were shrouded in a thin mist, or as if it had detached itself from the Xuanhuang universe and was no longer in this world.

Not being in this world, one is naturally not perceived by anything.

Yes, this time, even a Heavenly Palace Great Luo wouldn't be able to sense his movements.

After waving his sleeve, Gu Yuan took out the liquid stone.

This time, the liquid stone became even heavier. If the Jade Void Realm was like an ancient divine mountain, this time it was like the weight of an entire realm, extremely terrifying.

Fortunately, Gu Yuan is now at the Supreme Realm, and even if all the heavens were inside the bottle, he could lift them up with one hand.

"boom!"

"boom!"

This time, when Gu Yuan opened the stone bottle, divine liquid suddenly flew out, seemingly impatient, and rushed to Gu Yuan's eyes.

But Gu Yuan is no longer a "child," no longer a person of this world.

The realm of the Great Luo truly possesses unparalleled power.

With a thought, he formed a shackle around his head, like a net, which held the liquid stone flying rapidly toward his eyes.

It wasn't that he didn't want the stone liquid to get into his eyes, but rather that the stone liquid had entered his eyes on its own initiative—this was truly the first time.

He also wanted to use his Great Luo Realm cultivation to see what the origin of the liquid in the stone bottle was.

What was unknowable in the past, we do not know today whether we can see its true meaning.

"boom!"

But just one glance made Gu Yuan feel dizzy.

In a daze, he seemed to see the origin of the universe, the birth of all the great Daos, the creation of countless stars and realms, the birth, aging, sickness and death of billions of living beings, and everything in the universe and time.

It resembles liquid but is not liquid, it resembles the Tao but is not the Tao.

As the stars swirled, Gu Yuan didn't know what he saw, but in the end, he vaguely seemed to see a radiant "seal" radiating boundless Daoist charm crashing into him.

"boom!"

Then everything disappeared. It seemed that even Gu Yuan's power could not withstand such a massive change in information, and the great power that had stabilized the liquid stone quietly loosened.

Then, with a deafening roar, the molten stone, like a divine axe that split the heavens and earth, slammed into Gu Yuan's eyes.

"boom!!"

An unspeakable power surged forth. This time, it was no longer simply attached to Gu Yuan's eyes. The molten stone was like a sword that split the heavens, shattering all the "illusions" in Gu Yuan's eyes and granting him unimaginable power.

Gu Yuan felt as if his mind and spirit had been shaken apart. In a daze, his Dao Fruit seemed to have been split open, undergoing even more mysterious changes.

"This is……"

This change was beyond Gu Yuan's imagination and lasted for an unknown period of time.

When he came to his senses, everything had changed.

Between heaven and earth, everything was shrouded in gray, with only the simplest lines outlining the entire universe.

This is the "framework of heaven and earth," the fundamental way, and the way of "existence."

Within this framework of lines, countless tiny points of light flow, shimmering like stars, flickering and constantly moving, adding luster and vitality to the entire gray universe.

Among these countless "spots of light," sixteen "spots of light" remain still, standing motionless in the sky.

Faintly, among these sixteen points of light, one could also see sixteen blurry figures of living beings.

Gu Yuan immediately felt something and lowered his head to look at himself.

This was also the first time he had looked at himself using the power of the stone liquid.

His body had become a blurry shadow, barely visible in the gray universe.

Beneath him, there was also a "spot of light," motionless.

He sat upright on this "point of light," like a celestial being overlooking the universe.

Suddenly, Gu Yuan seemed to sense something, and abruptly looked up at the sky above.

Above them, a gray moon seemed to float, its light emanating from nowhere.

The moon was vast and indescribable, overshadowing all other "spots of light" and occupying the center of the world.

But in Gu Yuan's eyes, the moon was gray and hazy, which made him feel uneasy.

In the universe, countless points of light shone brilliantly, like gemstones, filling him with a sense of "desire."

The two are worlds apart, and their sensory experiences are completely different.

At that moment, a sudden realization dawned on Gu Yuan, and he abruptly lowered his head, no longer daring to look at the sky, avoiding the bright moon.

Just as he suddenly looked down, he suddenly realized...

It sits atop a "point of light" like a star, and faintly, there seems to be a shadow there as well.

A shadow that doesn't belong to him.

However, the shadow was extremely blurry and vanished in an instant, making Gu Yuan wonder if he was seeing things.

But he didn't have time to look closely, because the intense sense of crisis still lingered, emanating from the bright moon. Gu Yuan dared not delay and abruptly closed his eyes.

"boom!"

The instant he closed his eyes, all the gray lines vanished, and the so-called bright moon and stars disappeared as well.

Gu Yuan's vision returned to normal, and when he opened his eyes, he was once again in the Pure Void Wonderland.

He looked up in reality, his gaze traversing infinite distances, and saw a figure sitting in the heavens, and an endless light above the many figures.

Even a gaze has power; he dared not look any longer and immediately looked away.

But inside, things were in turmoil.

"boom!!"

Just then, a cracking sound suddenly came from within Xuanhuang, as if the heavens and earth had split open, and endless weight was pressing down on Xuanhuang.

The Great Calamity of Luo!

Within the Realm of Great Nothingness, Immortal Lord Wangji finally overcame his final mental barrier, drawing upon the power of Heaven to attain the Great Luo Dao.

Gu Yuan did some quick calculations and realized that nearly three years had passed in the blink of an eye.

Three years passed, the time it took him to refine the fossil bottle.

The stone bottle no longer produces stone liquid; this liquid has become his eyes.

But what Shi Ye saw today made him feel heavy-hearted.
