I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 447: The dean arrives and plans to build Tongtian River?
Venerable Hao Yan, the master of Feixing Valley, is in the middle stage of Yuanxiang. He has dominated the Dongshan Realm for two thousand years and is truly the top powerhouse in the Dongshan Realm.

Although this glance did not involve any vast magical power or powerful soul consciousness, the posture of this person when he appeared, coupled with his identity, was enough to give people tremendous pressure.

But Gu Yuan was not afraid at all when he saw this. He just bowed and said calmly, "Your Excellency, it was I who was lucky enough to get the body of the Venerable Biyou."

Gu Yuan's indifferent attitude surprised Venerable Hao Yan, but he ignored it and continued to ask: "Tell me in detail how Venerable Biyou died? Who killed him?"

Gu Yuan did not hide anything when he heard this, and said directly: "He was killed by a strong man from the Central Plains."

"It really is the Middle-earth Divine Land..."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Hao Yan sighed slightly, as if he had expected it.

Then he calmed down, looked at Gu Yuan, and prepared to ask again, but He Songlin couldn't help it.

The two of them asked and answered each other, as if they treated the main hall of his Biyou Sect as an "interrogation scene". The most important thing was that the interrogation was about the biggest secret of his Biyou Sect.

How could he endure this?
"Your Excellency, this is the mountain gate of our Biyou Sect. It would be inappropriate for you to enter without asking!"

He Songlin stood behind the Taoist puppet, held out the sect master's token in his palm, and activated the formation with all his strength. In an instant, rolling waves emerged from the sky, and countless water vapors surged, enveloping the entire hall.

The originally majestic hall now seemed to have turned into a small boat in the sea, which could capsize at any time.

At this moment, Venerable Hao Yan turned around and looked at He Songlin, saying calmly: "Just relying on a dead object, do you really think you are the master of a fifth-level mountain gate?"

"How can you imagine the magical power of the Yuan Xiang realm?"

Afterwards, Venerable Hao Yan waved his sleeves, and the vast magic power in his sleeves surged like green waves, transforming into "swimming fish" in the air.

These "swimming fish" are vivid and lifelike. They leap up with their tails, dive into the void, and open their mouths to bite at the various "array points" of the Biyou Sect's mountain protection array.

"boom!"

In just a moment, this fifth-order formation suddenly dispersed, the blue waves in the sky turned into water vapor and dissipated, and a heavy rain fell outside the palace.

"How can it be?!"

Seeing this, He Songlin was shocked.

If Venerable Hao Yan used his great magic power and supernatural powers to forcibly break his own mountain protection formation, he could still accept it.

But from the look just now, it was clearly Venerable Hao Yan who broke the formation. He looked so familiar, as if the other party was the master of the formation and knew all the structures of the formation like the back of his hand.

"Hahaha, Junior-Martial-Nephew He, don't panic."

"It's just a small demonstration of the Yuan Xiang realm's dream-entering magical power. Without the Yuan Xiang cultivator in charge, your dreams are defenseless and have been riddled with holes. How can there be any secrets in front of us?"

"If it weren't for the unknown life and death of Venerable Biyou, how could this puppet behind you protect your fifth-level spiritual vein?"

At this moment, a bright moon suddenly appeared in the hall, and then a tall and beautiful figure quietly emerged.

However, before the person arrived, the clear laughter could be heard.

"Master!"

When Fairy Yueyin saw this, she immediately let out a cry of surprise.

The person who came was wearing a long white dress, without any jewelry or tinkling pearls, and without any makeup, she looked like a lotus emerging from the water, but her eyes were bright, with majesty and murderous aura, and she did not seem to be an easy person to get along with.

It was none other than the current Palace Master of Guanghan Palace, the top cultivator in Dongshan Territory, and the Venerable Qiongyue who was in the middle stage of Yuanxiang!
"Venerable Qiong Yue?!"

Seeing this, He Songlin's face changed again, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Master Gu, you and my Guanghan Palace are truly destined to meet. I didn't expect to meet you so soon."

Venerable Qiong Yue also looked at Gu Yuan, with a hint of a smile on his face.

She had heard about helping Qin Yun achieve the Dao fetus, and it was also her idea to bestow the spiritual treasure.

"I've met His Holiness!"

When Gu Yuan saw the visitor, he immediately bowed and addressed him as "Your Excellency".

"Since you have a connection with my Guanghan Palace, why don't you come with me to the palace and I will tell you about the secret treasure. I am also very curious about Biyou's death."

Venerable Qiong Yue chuckled and extended an invitation to Gu Yuan.

"Qiong Yue, you are too overbearing. Do you want to take all the good fortune of Biyou for yourself?"

Upon hearing this, before Gu Yuan could refute, Venerable Hao Yan shook his head and chuckled.

"Nephew Gu, I know you must have found an opportunity in the secret treasure, but I'm afraid you can't keep the secret of Biyou."

"Although Biyou died at the hands of a strong man from the Central Earth Divine Continent, he was once a top cultivator in our Dongshan Great Region. There are countless people who covet his secret treasures. Although you have cultivated to the Daotai, you are still a child holding gold."

"It's not that there are no demonic cultivators in our Dongshan Region, nor are there any rampant independent cultivators. If you hold a valuable treasure, I'm afraid it will be harmful to your cultivation."

"You are a member of the Taoist temple under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Palace. I will not rob you. You can follow me into the Feixing Valley treasury. You can choose from all the treasures in it to exchange for the things you got in the secret storage."

Venerable Hao Yan spoke, looked at Gu Yuan and extended an invitation to him.

"Don't listen to him, follow me to Guanghan Palace."

Venerable Qiong Yue also spoke.

For a while, Gu Yuan seemed to have become a hot commodity.

However, it is not a good thing that Daotai monks are being fought over by Yuanxiang monks.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan sighed in his heart.

Although he felt that Venerable Biyou was somewhat unworthy of his reputation, he was killed in a secret treasure by someone from another domain, and his death was very miserable.

However, his strength during his lifetime was tested through countless battles, and his cultivation was extremely fast, so there must be some secrets. For such a person, the things he left behind after his death are already a top secret for the Dongshan Region.

Judging from the way the Biyou Sect's formation had been infiltrated, it was clear that Feixing Valley and Guanghan Palace had been coveting this secret treasure for a long time.

There had been a quarrel before, but it must have been because they were unable to break the ban of Reverend Biyou, so the matter ended in nothing. However, although it seemed like it ended in nothing, people were actually paying attention to it secretly.

After all, for them, as long as the person who came out of the secret treasure was not a Yuanxiang cultivator, everything would be fine and they could all intercept him.

Although the two men's attitudes were still gentle and they claimed to want to exchange, Gu Yuan knew that this was a trick of "forced buying and selling".

If there is something in the Second Sect's treasure house that can rival the creation of Master Biyou, why would we bother squatting here?

"Reporting to the two venerables, I was just lucky enough to get a few meager opportunities. It is not worth the two venerables fighting for it. I will not go to your two sects."

Gu Yuan bowed his head and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Oh?"

"Is it really because of my poor luck, or is it because of some kind of confidence?"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Hao Yan narrowed his eyes and reached out to grab Gu Yuan.

If it was an ordinary secret treasure opportunity, he would not even look at it, but the Qianyuan secret treasure was not ordinary. It was a rare top secret treasure that could attract his attention. He was also really curious in his heart about what Venerable Biyou had obtained in the past to be able to dominate the vast domain.

As for Gu Yuan's attitude, he didn't care.

He is just a Taoist monk, what big waves can he cause?
He practiced hard to reach the Yuan Xiang and achieved his current status, but he doesn't have to always speak politely to juniors!
"boom!"

Venerable Hao Yan just stretched out his hand, and Gu Yuan felt a huge sense of palpitations in his heart, as if the whole heaven and earth were closing in and squeezing him, and it was as if he was exiled to an uninhabited star. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth did not listen to his command, and wherever his mind went, there was desolation.

What a powerful catching force.

Gu Yuan was suddenly shocked.

This Yuan Xiang monk in his complete form was indeed powerful. However, he was not panicked in his heart, but just watched the situation quietly.

This calm and non-resistance attitude also made the people in the hall feel confused and uncertain.

Fairy Xingmeng frowned even more.

You must know that Gu Yuan killed the Yuanxiang cultivator in the secret treasure.

And that fake artifact is something that only a Yuanxiang cultivator can forge. This person's identity is definitely not simple.

But she also understood that it would be useless to remind the Valley Master at this time. This opportunity would have to be fought for.

"I have always heard that Feixing Valley suppressed the Dongshan region and the magnificent Xuan Sect, but today it seems that they are not worthy of the reputation. They bully the weak and force purchases and sales. It is really despicable..."

Just when Gu Yuan's bones made a crisp sound and he was about to be captured, an old voice came late.

Purple thunder roared across the void, coming rapidly from thousands of miles away and landing in front of the temple.

The golden sword light flickered slightly, and the restraining force in front of Gu Yuan disappeared completely.

Then, an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a wooden hairpin and holding a whisk, walked out from the purple thunder. Behind him, a red-haired strong man, with his arms clasped, followed closely, looking at everyone in the hall with ferocity in his eyes.

He even looked at Gu Yuan with a fierce look on his face, as if he hated the world.

"Yuan Xiang monk?!"

"A fifth-level demon?!"

Seeing the old man and the red-haired sturdy man walking out of the thunder, Venerable Hao Yan and Venerable Qiong Yue were both shocked.

Yuanxiang cultivators are not ordinary people, but top cultivators who control the fate of billions of lives in the Dongshan Domain. Such people will never appear silently.

But now, two of them appeared at once.

"Greetings to the Master!"

Gu Yuan smiled slightly and bowed to the old man.

The reason why he was not afraid was, firstly, because of the Xuanyang Demon Transformation Seal, and the second reason was that he was the dean.

When Gu Yuan set out for the secret treasure that day, the dean specifically instructed him and gave him a protective treasure. Gu Yuan knew that the dean was paying close attention to this matter.

Now that he had just left the secret realm, the venerables from Feixing Valley and Guanghan Palace came to visit. Gu Yuan knew in his heart that the dean was probably not far away.

From Nanshan Region to Dongshan Region, over the hundreds of years, Gu Yuan had already understood that the dean was truly trustworthy!
At the very least, among these large domains, he is an absolute backer!

This is also the reason why he has always been outspoken and has never concealed the secret of Reverend Biyou's death and the secret process behind it.

I am not a rootless person.

The dean broke through the Yuanxiang and subdued the Red Moon Giant Wolf. The Taoist temple has two living Yuanxiang fighters, and he also has a trump card that can transform into a mountain-moving ape. Although the Dongshan area is large, there is nowhere he can't go.
Gu Yuan's words "Dean" also brought everyone back to their senses.

The dean? The dean of Qingfeng Taoist Academy?

How could this person have secretly broken through to the Yuan Xiang realm? How could he not even hear any signs or rumors of a heavenly tribulation?

Everyone in the hall suddenly had different thoughts.

"Qingfeng Taoist Academy, Yun Yangzi, nice to meet you two Taoist friends!"

The dean waved his whisk and bowed to Venerable Hao Yan and Venerable Qiong Yue in front of him.

"Qingfeng Taoist Academy is indeed under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Palace. It is truly a cause for celebration that two generations of heroes emerged at once."

Upon seeing this, Venerable Qiong Yue's eyes flashed with a gleam, and then with a smile as warm as spring breeze, he congratulated the dean and returned the salute.

"When did you achieve your breakthrough, you should prepare a gift for me. I can also give you a great gift from Feixing Valley!"

Upon seeing this, Venerable Hao Yan sighed slightly, feeling inexplicable emotions.

"It's just some common rituals. How dare I trouble you, fellow Taoist?"

The dean smiled.

"Since you have broken through to the Yuan Xiang realm, I think you need to change your training ground. However, almost all the fifth-level spiritual veins in my Dongshan region have owners, except for one or two evil veins that are still ownerless. I wonder what your plans are?"

Seeing that the other party had a steady aura, profound magical powers, and a fifth-level monster following behind him, Venerable Hao Yan immediately understood that the other party came prepared. He directly skipped the matter of Venerable Bi You's secret treasure and asked about the Taoist temple.

Venerable Qiong Yue also looked over.

For some reason, He Songlin suddenly became nervous and felt a strong sense of uneasiness.

He originally thought that relying on the mountain protection formation and the Taoist puppets, as well as keeping a low profile, would be enough to protect his foundation. But now it seems that he was too naive. There is still a huge gap between a fifth-level puppet and a real Yuanxiang Venerable, which is difficult to make up.

Now that the Venerable has passed away, the Biyou Sect's business seems "fat and juicy".

"We are monks of the Taoist Academy, and we are under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Palace. Although we have temporarily lost the Heavenly Voice, we cannot do anything rebellious."

"How can you take something that belongs to someone else?"

The dean smiled, as if he meant something.

But Venerable Hao Yan didn't care and just listened quietly to what was said next.

Having reached such a level of practice, how could he be shaken by words?
A tiger can stay in the wooden cage of morality, but it is easy to break out of the cage.

"Things that have owners should not be taken by trickery or force, but the sacred lands of the world are inhabited by people with virtue. If there are people who are treacherous and do dirty things and steal the sacred lands, they may be able to subdue the demons and seize the lands."

The dean stroked his beard and smiled.

"A person who is treacherous and acts dirty?"

"Fellow Taoist, you might as well say it directly if you have something to say."

Venerable Qiong Yue didn't know what he was thinking of, and suddenly asked.

"Haha, after I broke through, I was walking in the Dongshan region and happened to pass by the Tongtian River. I saw the demonic energy rising to the sky, dominating the land for thousands of miles. There were countless spiritual islands, demons and monsters running side by side, it was filthy and really disgusting."

"There are demons that feed the human race and ambush treasure ships. All these actions have angered the heavens and the people. Both of you Taoist friends have mountain gates standing by the Tongtian River. Have you never seen such a scene? Have you never thought of defeating the demons in your heart?"

The dean waved his sleeves, and a map stood in the air. A projection appeared inside it, with demonic and evil spirits rising up, and roaring wails, which was extremely eerie and terrifying.

Venerable Qiong Yue's expression immediately turned ugly.

Venerable Hao Yan also frowned slightly.

"If you are really well prepared, you should know that although there are two fifth-level spirit veins in Tongtian River, there are also three fifth-level monsters. A few years ago, a Yuanxiang demon cultivator broke through and moved into the Monster Island to control this river."

"Their strength should not be underestimated."

Venerable Hao Yan said coldly.

"How can we give up on slaying demons and eliminating evil just because it's difficult?"

"It is precisely because of the indulgence of the two Taoist friends over the years that they have been able to grow stronger, gather together the evil cultivators, and become a scourge."

The dean waved his whisk and sighed.

"As a newly promoted Yuan Xiang, you are going to slay demons and cleanse the universe. Your tone is quite high, but I don't know if you have the ability to do so!"

Upon hearing this, Venerable Hao Yan understood what the other party was thinking. He stopped talking nonsense and directly stretched out his hand to hit the dean.
