I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 423 Guanghan Palace, Tongtian River!
After getting the assurance from the dean and seeing the aura as deep as the ocean, Gu Yuan suddenly felt at ease.

As long as the dean succeeds in breaking through, the Dongshan region will be able to rule the country in the future.

The status of the Taoist temple will inevitably rise.

In a good mood, Gu Yuan leisurely returned to the Taoist temple and began to practice, not in a hurry to trade.

Anyway, it is the Xiongling Sect that is anxious.

This practice took more than half a year.

Relaxed and nothing happened.

During this period, Master Tiandou requested whether to hold a Daotai celebration for Gu Yuan, but was rejected by Gu Yuan.

If it was an ordinary time to hold a celebration, Gu Yuan would naturally agree, after all, this is a good time to receive gifts.

But now, the dean is at a critical period, and if it attracts too much attention, it may not be good, so Gu Yuan simply gave up temporarily.

Let’s wait until the dean reaches the Yuanxiang realm.

Even Gu Yuan's original idea of ​​sharing the two realm-breaking items with Senior Brother Tiandou was given up.

Senior Brother Tiandou is in his prime, and there is still time to wait.

When the dean Yuanxiang arrives, the Taoist academy will probably expand its territory again. By then, the dean will naturally consider the matter of the Jindan cultivators in the Taoist academy being promoted to Daotai.

Let the dean worry about it first, and if it doesn’t work I’ll take action myself.

With nothing on his mind, Gu Yuan spent his time practicing and occasionally being intimate with Qingqing. He felt very comfortable during his life.

The only pity is that the progress of cultivation is very slow.

Over the past half year, the increase in magic power has been only seventeen or eighteen strands, and there is still more than seventeen thousand strands short of the forty thousand strands required for the late stage of Dao Tai. If one practices hard, it will take another seven hundred years!
Asceticism is such suffering.

After all, not all cultivators have countless opportunities. Apart from some elixirs to assist them, they can only practice hard.

This is a helpless act, but it is also the most solid step in practice.

Gu Yuan didn't mind the hard training. Sitting in the mountains, practicing for a few decades occasionally, and enjoying the company of the wind and the moon, was not a big deal. But if he was asked to practice for seven hundred years, that would be a bit of torture.

He traveled through time from his previous life, and after he began to practice, his speed of practice was extremely fast. His concept of time was different from that of ordinary practitioners.

But it’s still bearable for more than half a year.

……

The lake was quiet, the star trees were swaying, Gu Yuan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his mind sunk into a dream.

In the dream, there were clouds and mist, and the mountain breeze was blowing. Gu Yuan's body in the dream was also sitting cross-legged. Countless classics made of clouds and mist were flipping and making rustling sounds.

One after another, seal characters fell from the void, colliding and bumping against each other, trying to condense into new words, but they kept failing.

But Gu Yuan still sat cross-legged, motionless. Above his head, more classics were opened, and millions of seal characters rolled down, like thousands of troops fighting with swords. The sound of collision was endless, and clouds and mist exploded.

"Zheng!"

An unknown amount of time had passed before countless cloud and mist seal characters suddenly merged together, like tens of millions of sharp swords being melted into one, and a brand new sword pattern appeared in the air.

It seemed as if quicksand was falling from the sky, or like a waterfall descending from the sky, rolling endlessly. In an instant, it covered the sky and the sun, and encompassed the four ends of the earth and heaven.

"Since you are based on the formless quicksand sword, I will call it the formless sky waterfall sword style..."

Gu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the new sword pattern in front of him, exhaled a breath, and felt a little tired.

After he broke through the Daotai, the Great Dream Evolution Golden Seal naturally became the Daotai Golden Seal.

This is my natal golden seal, which can be used to derive all kinds of benefits. Naturally, it cannot be wasted.

Over the past six months, whenever he had free time, he would deduce methods, hoping to obtain more powerful seals and means of amplification.

However, although the golden seal has been promoted, it cannot create things out of thin air. It still needs Gu Yuan's comprehension of the great Dao of heaven and earth, as well as the help of many classics.

Among them, the true classics are the most important.

If Gu Yuan wants to create a new method, with his current level, he still needs the help of his predecessors.

However, although he had broken through to the Daotai stage, the number of true classics he had read did not increase much.

Fortunately, when Xiliuhai discussed Taoism with Fairy Mengyun, he comprehended a lot of classics and was also given the "Liusha Wuxiang Sword Seal".

This seal is gained from the enlightenment of the flowing sand. It can gather and disperse without form and can transform into all things. It is a rare "transformation sword technique".

Gu Yuan used this sword seal as a prototype and continued to derive the technique, eventually obtaining the "Formless Sky Waterfall Sword Seal", which took his sword technique to a higher level.

"Buzz!"

Just as Gu Yuan nodded in satisfaction and his mind left the dream space, a vibrating sound suddenly came from the Qiankun bag.

Gu Yuan took it out and looked at it, and a thoughtful look immediately appeared on his face.

A jade-colored talisman was seen vibrating in his palm, and a gentle voice came from it: "Brother Dao, how are you? Qin Yun has safely passed the heavenly tribulation and achieved Dao fetus. A celebration will be held in the palace in a month. Brother Dao, please come and I will definitely give you a generous gift!"

Qin Yun has broken through to the Daotai!
With the help of three realm-breaking items and being born in a fifth-level sect, this step was indeed smooth sailing and there were no mistakes.

Are you going to see a return on your investment so soon?

Gu Yuan felt a little emotional.

Helping Qin Yun to break through has long been one of his plans.

The fifth-level sect, which does not show off its strength, owns a fifth-level cave and has extraordinary strength. It is the most essential spiritual land in the Dongshan area. Now that he has broken through to the Daotai, he naturally needs a broader stage.

You must visit a fifth-level sect.

But originally, Gu Yuan wanted to wait until the Nascent Soul Fruit was refined before going, but unexpectedly, Qin Yun made a breakthrough very quickly, without any delay, and even sent out an invitation.

In that case, I might as well give it a go.

After all, you should compare prices before shopping for snake eggs.

Go and see it first.

By the time the dean makes a breakthrough and subdues some surrounding forces, the strength of the Taoist academy will be further enhanced. We may encounter these forces again, so it is better for us to go and test the waters first.

"Guanghan Palace..."

Inside the jade talisman, there was a map of Guanghan Palace projected and Gu Yuan took a quick look at it and made a decision in his mind.

……

Three days later, Gu Yuan made all the arrangements. He not only sent a command sword to inform his senior sister who was in seclusion, he also sent a command sword to Qingfeng Mountain to leave a message for the dean, and then controlled the escape light and rushed towards the north.

Guanghan Palace is a million miles away from Qingfeng Taoist Academy, extremely far away, and there is no teleportation array.

However, it is not appropriate to take a magic boat to watch the ceremony. After all, high-quality magic boats are generally used for conquests, which is not in accordance with etiquette. Ordinary magic boats are not fast enough and are slow and leisurely, not as good as Gu Yuan's own escape light.

"It seems that I really need a mount or a flying magic weapon."

Although he turned into light and moved quickly, he felt a little embarrassed after a while. Gu Yuan sighed in his heart.

But there is no rush for this matter. Who knows, you might be able to find some good treasures in the territory of the Guanghan Palace mountain gate.

With this thought in mind, Gu Yuan continued to control the escape light and rushed over at high speed.

……

……

Ten days later.

Gu Yuan's escape light landed above a vast and ancient mountain range.

This mountain is simple and quiet, with thick rocks, towering ancient trees, courtyards and bamboo houses hidden among them, monsters roaming around, and magical beasts everywhere.

As soon as he arrived above this place, Gu Yuan felt relaxed and happy, as if there was a cool breeze blowing through his heart, which was very comfortable.

"As expected of a fifth-tier sect, even this outer courtyard has such a mysterious formation."

His mind was churning, and looking at everything below, Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

This formation uses rocks and ancient trees as the core of the formation, connecting to the endless essence of the earth veins, allowing the spiritual energy to be evenly distributed under each ancient tree, without any difference in quantity, and can protect the mind, giving a sense of mystery.

Not only that, there was a wave-like force surging inside, which made Gu Yuan feel palpitations.

This is definitely a formation that surpasses the Daotai realm, it is extremely terrifying.

“I wonder which real person is visiting?”

At this moment, a female Jindan cultivator in a white Taoist robe came riding on the wind, landed under the clouds, and bowed to Gu Yuan and asked him questions.

"Yuan Feiyu from Jiuyi Mountain has come to congratulate fellow Daoist Qin Yun on the birth of his Dao fetus."

Gu Yuan smiled slightly and threw out the jade talisman that Qin Yun had given him a long time ago. "It turns out to be Master Fei Yu!"

The female cultivator took the jade talisman, flipped through the list, and immediately understood Gu Yuan's origins.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan chuckled in his heart.

When he interacted with Qin Yun and others, he did not use his real name, but the identity of Yuan Feiyu.

Although several people probably already knew that this identity was fake, after all, he used this name when communicating with Qin Yun. The person invited in the jade talisman was also Yuan Feiyu, so Gu Yuan was too lazy to change his real name.

It's just a title.

However, he also understood that the name Yuan Feiyu could no longer be used in Dongshan Domain. If he wanted to hide his identity next time, he would have to use another name.

"The celebration will be held in Guanghan Cave Heaven, please follow me!"

After checking the jade talisman, the female Jindan cultivator became a little more gentle.

But at this moment, a ripple appeared above the mountains, and then a woman with a delicate face, like a classical fairy, quietly emerged.

"Brother Tao!"

The woman appeared and looked directly at Gu Yuan, her bright eyes filled with joy.

This woman was none other than Qin Yun, who had already achieved the status of a Taoist and become an immortal.

"Master Qiuyue!"

Seeing Qin Yun, the female cultivator Jindan also hurriedly saluted.

She didn't expect that Qin Yun would come out of the cave to greet her in person. She must have sensed the existence of the jade talisman.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, congratulations!"

Seeing Qin Yun so happy, Gu Yuan bowed and congratulated her with a smile.

"To be where I am today is entirely due to my kindness, Brother Dao. I once promised that I would lead you to travel around Guanghan Palace, and today I can finally fulfill my promise."

Qin Yun hurriedly returned the greeting and then said with a smile.

Even though her Guanghan Palace was a great sect that had existed for thousands of years and suppressed the Dongshan region, there were only seven Dao fetuses in the sect.

There are so many talented disciples, and the competition is so fierce that it is hard for outsiders to imagine.

It is extremely difficult to achieve the Tao fetus.

She had been stuck at the peak of the Golden Core stage for a decade, without making any progress. If it weren't for Gu Yuan, this period of time would have continued to extend, possibly to a hundred years or even thousands of years.

The calamity of the Dao fetus is by no means as easy as imagined.

But with Gu Yuan's help, after she returned to the palace, she broke through the heavenly tribulation in just a few months, achieved the Tao fetus, and increased her lifespan by a thousand years.

This not only increases the lifespan by a thousand years, but also the probability of breaking through the Yuanxiang realm has been greatly increased.

Youth is capital!
How could Qin Yun not keep such a great favor in her heart?

"You are where you are today because of your own destiny. You don't have to thank me all the time."

Gu Yuan smiled and spoke modestly.

"My heart is as clear as a mirror, so there is no need to say more, brother."

Qin Yun shook her head, then smiled and said, "I have prepared a great gift for you, brother, but it will take a few days. I will keep you in suspense for the next few days. Come with me first, brother, and I will introduce you to the scenery of my Guanghan Palace."

After she finished speaking, Qin Yun waved her long sleeves, and ripples suddenly appeared in the void. Then, a vast and beautiful scene like a painting came into Gu Yuan's eyes.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, the sky and the earth are hazy, and the clear light floats.

A huge bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting down endless moonlight.

The moonlight was as solid as a substance. When blown by the wind, it quietly dispersed and turned into countless silver fragments.

"Brother Dao, you should know that the core areas of the mountain gates of several major fifth-level sects in my Dongshan region are all hidden in the cave heaven. Behind this ripple is the Guanghan Cave Heaven of my Guanghan Palace."

"That bright moon is the core spiritual vein of my Guanghan Palace, the bright moon over a thousand mountains."

"In the fourth-level spiritual vein, spiritual energy surges and can transform all things. In the fifth-level spiritual vein, spiritual energy gathers into a strange image and illuminates the whole sky. This Thousand Mountains and Bright Moon is the name of my sect's spiritual vein."

Qin Yun pointed at the bright moon with a hint of pride in her tone.

In such a vast Dongshan region, how many people can see the spiritual vein turning into the moon, hanging high in the sky?

This is the foundation of a fifth-level sect!
"Brother Dao, please!"

After a brief explanation, Qin Yun led Gu Yuan again, across the ripples, towards the cave.

"Wow!"

Gu Yuan felt like he had passed through a layer of water, and then countless cool spiritual energy surged in like a tide, making him feel relaxed and happy, and the Taoist fetus in his body seemed to be cheering.

The sky was filled with moonlight and spiritual energy was like water. The whole world seemed to be immersed in "spiritual energy". Even Gu Yuan, at his level, felt amazed.

This is the fifth-level spiritual vein!
When Gu Yuan looked up, he was even more amazed.

There was only the faint moonlight, flying cranes, and countless floating clouds. On each cloud, there was a palace.

In the void, waterfalls flow across the sky, like the water of the Milky Way, with no visible source and no visible end, just falling endlessly in the air.

This is a world without land. Everything is suspended high in the sky, under the bright moon, with clouds as support and cranes as bridges.

At first glance, it seems as if one has left the human world and arrived in a fairyland.

It was very different from all the secret places Gu Yuan had seen.

"It is indeed a treasure land, as if it were a poem or a painting..."

Gu Yuan couldn't help but admire.

Even Yaoyuan Mountain cannot compare to the scene before our eyes.

After all, Yaoyuan Mountain is just a villa where ferocious beasts are raised. It is not the core place for cultivation of the mountain gate at all, and the scenery is far inferior.

"Among the several caves in Dongshan, my Guanghan Palace is the most fairy-like and unique. It is precisely because of this wonderful scenery that the founder overcame all objections and named it Guanghan. The real fairyland scenery is nothing more than this."

Qin Yun said with a smile.

"Indeed!"

Gu Yuan nodded slightly.

There is no land in sight, the ground is made of clouds, and the golden palace is located in the sky. It is indeed like a mysterious fairyland.

The scenery is beyond words.

"My Guanghan Palace is divided into four layers of heaven. The top layer is Yuanxiang Heaven, which is the place where the two Yuanxiang Palace masters practice in seclusion."

"The next floor is Dao Yuan Tian, ​​where Dao Tai monks meditate daily. All the core halls in the palace, such as the Dan Ding and Tian Gong, are located on this floor."

"The third level is the Golden Cloud Heaven, where the Golden Core cultivators practice. The clouds are full of light, shining endlessly, and it is the most brilliant."

"The fourth floor is called the Building Law Heaven. It is the place where the foundation-building monks practice hard. It is the most vast, has the most palaces, and is the most lively."

Qin Yun stretched out her hand and saw four layers of thick clouds in the dim moonlight, dividing the huge cave world into four distinct layers.

Gu Yuan looked into the distance with a faint golden glow in his eyes. He took everything in and was filled with emotion.

As the two were talking and laughing, a stream of jade-colored light emerged from the void and fell into the fourth level of the cave.

The jade-colored light flashed by and was about to go to a palace, but it sensed the presence of the two people and stopped immediately.

Qin Yun also sensed the existence of this escaping light, with a look of surprise on her face, she shouted, "Senior Sister Nan Yan!"

The escaping light flashed and landed beside the two of them, revealing a female cultivator with skin as white as jade, a cold face, and wearing a red long skirt.

The magic power in the female cultivator's body was as fierce as fire, and she was obviously in the middle stage of the Daoist fetus.

"Junior Sister Qin!"

The woman seemed not good at speaking. Facing Qin Yun's smile, she just nodded slightly with a cold expression.

Qin Yun seemed to have gotten used to it, and still said with a smile: "Didn't Senior Sister say that you would be back in a few days? How come you are back today?"

"Another incident occurred in Tongtian River, so we have to go back."

Xia Nanyue's tone was still cold, but it contained a hint of anger.

Tongtian River?
Gu Yuan's heart moved. Isn't that the boundless river leading to the Central Plains of China?
