I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 467: Flowing Void Qi, Innate Thunder Cloud Technique!
"Wow!"

Thick fog rose up, covering the sky and the sun, and shrouding the river for thousands of miles.

Everywhere I looked, it was all white and I couldn't see anything clearly.

But at this moment, there was suddenly a sound of water being cut through, and then in the fog, a gray treasure ship that was three hundred feet high and about a thousand feet long, like a mountain, came at high speed through the fog.

But after the heavy fog, the river was so vast that it was even more endless than the ocean, and there was no trace of land at all.

Not only that, above the surface of the river, there was a layer of faint flowing energy, stretching across the sky and earth, covering everything above the river.

"It has been almost forty years. The energy of Liuxu has become increasingly strong..."

There were many monks standing on the deck of the treasure boat. A young Taoist priest with an upright figure and a handsome face stretched out his hand from the boat and looked at the white gas lingering in his palm. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, the closer we get to Shenzhou, the purer and thicker this energy becomes. I feel like the magic power in my body is floating in the air, as if it can fly away with the wind..."

Beside the young Taoist, there was a man and a woman, both of whom were of extraordinary bearing, natural beauty, and both had the cultivation level of Golden Core. At this moment, it was the male cultivator who spoke.

“No wonder it takes forty years to enter Shenzhou. No wonder only we have entered Shenzhou, but no one from Shenzhou has entered our Central Plains. This energy is truly mysterious.”

Another female cultivator also spoke up, with a sighing tone.

"Yes, the flow of emptiness enters the body and cleanses the turbid air. For us, it is a good thing. After the turbid air in the body is cleansed, we can step into the Middle Earth safely. But if there are cultivators who go out of the Middle Earth in the opposite direction, the turbid air will hit them in the face and invade their five senses. It is so filthy that no one can tolerate it."

The young Taoist touched his increasingly radiant and bright face and couldn't help laughing.

After sailing for a year on the Tongtian River, there was no longer any land or island. The sky and earth were vast, with only the river flowing endlessly.

Above the river, a layer of Qi called "Liuxu" stretches across the river, separating the Middle Earth from the four realms.

All cultivators who enter the Middle-earth through the Tongtian River will have their bodies cleansed imperceptibly by this Qi. Their magic power will become light, their five senses will become sharper, their skin will glow, and it seems that the invisible filthy air inside them has been expelled.

There was no change in the thickness of magic power or the strength of the physical body, but the whole person became "clean".

All the foul air was completely dissipated, and the body became clean enough to withstand and devour the boundless pure spiritual energy.

On the contrary, if someone goes out of Middle-earth in the opposite direction, his body will slowly become "dirty", as if there are layers of foul air lingering around him.

The stronger your cultivation, the more obvious this feeling is.

It is precisely because of the existence of this "flowing energy" that the communication between Middle-earth and the Four Realms has become increasingly isolated, resulting in Middle-earth being able to only enter but not exit.

At this moment, after nearly forty years of cleansing, the three of them felt themselves pure and spotless. Their every move was fragrant, and they couldn't help but feel happy.

"According to the time, we are almost reaching Middle-earth. Why don't we see any trace of land?"

But as far as the eye can see, the sky and water are vast and endless, and the young Taoist feels a little anxious.

He couldn't wait to experience the charm of Middle-earth.

"Brother, why worry? It will be here in a few days."

"Besides, although Middle-earth is a good place, it is also a place of great risk for us. This journey may not be smooth sailing."

The Jindan female cultivator beside him couldn't help but sigh and felt a little worried when he heard this.

"Junior sister, why worry about nothing? With the head of the academy here, he will definitely remove all obstacles and return to the meridians smoothly."

Seeing this, another Jindan male cultivator smiled and comforted him.

"Forty years, the headmaster has been in seclusion most of the time. I don't know how far he has come in his cultivation..."

Hearing this, the Jindan female cultivator couldn't help but turn around and look at the top of the treasure boat with admiration in her eyes.

She was a newcomer to Qingfeng Taoist Academy. In just over a hundred years, she had cultivated the golden elixir, which could be called a genius.

This was certainly due to her water-veined Taoist body and her extraordinary physique, but she herself knew that most of the credit should go to the dean.

Without the "Six Ren Alchemy Golden Book" bestowed by the dean, she would never have been able to cultivate to the peak of foundation building in just twenty years. If the dean had not expanded the territory and conquered all directions, she would never have had enough resources to break through to the golden elixir in such a short period of time.

The legendary deeds of the abbot are widely circulated in the Taoist temple.

How could a disciple from a poor family not be admired for having cultivated to such an extent?

What's more, the head of the temple is handsome and elegant, like an immortal, which is rare in the world.

"I heard from fellow Taoists in Feixing Valley that the dean had reached the peak of the Dao fetus twenty years ago. Now another twenty years have passed. I really don't know what realm he has reached..."

Upon hearing this, the young Taoist also sighed and looked at the top of the treasure boat with eager eyes.

……

……

Gu Yuan was not aware of the discussion among his disciples.

At this moment, he was stroking his chin, looking at the three green "fruit cores" floating in the air, with a thoughtful look on his face.

These three "fruit cores" are only the size of rice grains, but they are covered with countless seal characters, densely packed like thousands of pythons entangled, revealing a charm that is both spiritual and evil.

"As expected of a rare fruit cultivated by Mahayana, it really makes people feel a little bit troubled..."

Gu Yuan sighed slightly, a little hesitant.

The forty years on Tongtian River were an excellent opportunity for him to practice.

Whether it was the conquest of Liuyang Mountain or the destruction of Wanling Island, he, as the second person in the Taoist academy, gained a lot of benefits. Even though the most precious items in Wanling Island were taken away by several fifth-level demons, many valuable treasures were also seized.

It would be a waste if we didn't use such a large amount of spiritual food to practice in seclusion.

But for Gu Yuan, the greatest benefit is not the many spiritual objects, but the Nascent Soul Fruit.

This fruit is so mysterious and unparalleled that it can devour the Dao fetus of a cultivator. It is simply horrifying.

Previously, because of Chai Yangbo, the fruit had not been fully harvested, but this time it was different.

Gu Yuan captured the three demon fetuses in the Xiaodingyuan Formation but did not kill them, just for this moment.

In forty years, the Yuanying Fruit devoured three Dao fetuses. The first devouring of the Dao fetus took eight years and increased Gu Yuan's pure magic power by a full twelve thousand strands, which was simply horrifying.

The second time, it took ten years, and he devoured the second Tao fetus, which increased his magic power by a full ten thousand strands.

The third time, it took twelve years, and he devoured the third Tao fetus, which increased his magic power by fourteen thousand strands.

Including the cooling time of the fruit, it took a total of forty years, increasing Gu Yuan's magic power by a total of 36,000 strands.

It directly helped him achieve the peak of Taoism and his magic power reached 61,000 strands.

You know, an ordinary cultivator at the peak of the Daotai realm has a maximum of 50,000 strands of magic power, but Gu Yuan possesses the Yuju Seal, which allows him to break the limit and cultivate to 70,000 strands.

During the past forty years, he had continuously devoured all kinds of natural treasures, and the last nine thousand strands had been replenished.

Now, he has completely reached the pinnacle of Daotai and there is no more room for improvement.

The realm of Daotai can be said to be the smoothest one in his cultivation. The foundations of many adventures blossomed in this realm, allowing him to complete the journey that countless cultivators would take thousands of years to complete in just a few decades.

This speed of cultivation has almost reached the extreme in the Central Plains of China.

The Yuanying Fruit played an indispensable role.

There is no simple golden opportunity. Even if it cannot immediately increase the fighting strength, it will allow Gu Yuan to quietly surpass countless fellow geniuses and leave behind countless people.

But improving mana is not the limit of this fruit. Gu Yuan's comprehension has also increased a lot, and he has a new understanding of many methods. After Gu Yuan swallowed the "green fruit" refined from this fruit, a "fruit core" was left behind.

This is what he saw before his eyes at this moment.

After decades of exploration, Gu Yuan has already discovered the use of this core.

Life and death are decided by God.

This fruit core can also be called the "core of life".

This is not Gu Yuan’s life, but the life of the person who was killed.

The Yuanying Fruit not only absorbs and melts all the magic power of the person who was killed, but also melts and absorbs the luck and fate of the person who was killed. It is extremely evil.

"The will is like iron, and love is a disaster."

At this moment, Gu Yuan's mind touched the first "life core", and a strange feeling suddenly emerged in his mind.

This means that if the cultivator takes this life core, his will will be as hard as iron, he will be tenacious and indomitable, and he will never give up or fall, but he will suffer emotional disasters.

This is the power of the life core.

By swallowing the life core, one can gain a "special talent" of a Taoist monk, but will also inherit one of its shortcomings.

There are both advantages and disadvantages, which are hard to describe.

At this moment, this fate has melted the "heart" of the monk but also inherited the other's "love brain".

How could a love-brained person become a demon cultivator? Gu Yuan was completely puzzled.

Gu Yuan definitely does not want this defect of "love brain".

"The body without leakage, the mind without hesitation."

The thought flowed and fell on the second life core, and another strange information flowed.

A body without leakage can gain a bit of magic power by absorbing and exhaling a bit of spiritual energy. The speed of cultivation is extremely fast, but the mind is hesitant and indecisive, and may do things.

But Gu Yuan has been practicing for a long time, and he has swallowed countless natural treasures. He has also practiced "The True Scripture of the Innate Yuan Qi to Ascend to the Divine Sky", and his physique has undergone earth-shaking changes. His golden bones and thunder orifices have gone against the innate nature, making him extremely powerful.

Especially the "True Scripture of the Innate Yuanqi that can carry you to the Divine Sky", which can inhale and exhale the innate Yuanqi and increase your strength by ten thousand pounds a day.

After forty years of practice, he now has a strength of hundreds of millions of pounds in his physical body without using any magic power. He is comparable to a fourth-level demon king in strength. He is terrifyingly powerful and has long been a perfect and flawless body. This life core is simply useless to him.

"When it meets water, it becomes a dragon; when it meets the sun, it dries up."

This sentence was the most vague and hazy. Gu Yuan studied it carefully for a long time, looked through this person's storage bag, and searched through this person's life, before he got a hint of insight from the clues.

This is the gift of luck.

Swallowing this life core can help you with luck. In any place with water veins, your luck will increase greatly and you can do whatever you want. But if you encounter someone with luck as bright as the sun, or someone with extraordinary strength like the sun, you will face a fatal disaster.

Gu Yuan didn’t know how the Nascent Soul Fruit could refine a cultivator’s “luck”, but after carefully pondering it for a long time, he thought it must be correct.

As long as you take this fruit, you will definitely benefit from it in the water area and have some unexpected adventures, but your luck is limited and it will also attract people with great means.

This was also the reason why he was hesitant and had not taken the life core for a long time.

There are both advantages and disadvantages, and it is hard to predict whether it will be a blessing or a disaster.

"It's a pity that we knew too little information before, otherwise we might be able to smelt different Dao embryos..."

Gu Yuan pondered for a long time, and finally sighed and decided not to swallow it for the time being.

The Yuanying Fruit was too mysterious, so he knew very little about its abilities. In order to practice on the Tongtian River, he could only melt the three demon fetuses he had captured before.

And when the three Dao Tai were smelted, Gu Yuan realized that the Yuanying Fruit in the Dao Tai realm could only smelt four Dao Tais, which was the limit of this fruit.

If the smelting continues, a terrible disaster may occur.

However, in the Yuanxiang Realm, only three can be smelted, and in the Tianling Realm, only two can be smelted.

For the Mahayana realm, it depends on the strength of the person being killed. This fruit may not be enough, and at most only one can be smelted.

The prerequisite for refining all of this is that Gu Yuan must be promoted to a higher realm, and only then will this fruit be promoted as his realm is promoted.

But even so, it was enough to surprise Gu Yuan.

You know, he is only at the Daotai realm now, and it is unknown how long it will take him to reach the Heavenly Spirit and Mahayana realms. However, this fruit already has the ability to plan for this realm, which is really terrifying.

"Perhaps it can be given to others, or used for trading. This kind of magical power is probably rare even in Middle-earth..."

To refine one's talent is still acceptable, but to deprive one of one's luck is really terrifying.

If you could kill a person with great luck and destiny, wouldn't you be able to take off right away?
Supernatural powers cannot defeat destiny.

Destiny cannot defeat supernatural powers.

This statement is true both positively and negatively. Luck can be transformed into strength, and strength can suppress luck. The strength of the two does not conflict with each other. It only depends on each person's fate and means.

If one can be blessed with great fortune, it will certainly greatly benefit one's spiritual practice. As for the "disaster" that one has to bear, it may not be impossible to resolve it.

Gu Yuan even thought that the reason why this Nascent Soul Fruit could be smelted into a "defect" was because the other party was a dead person, a loser, so he was destined to have a drawback? A disaster?

The living are harmless, but the dead are bound to have disasters?
“No wonder Senior Mahayana also sighed, the power of this fruit is indeed somewhat strange…”

Gu Yuan shook his head, put away the life core, and stopped thinking about it for the time being.

"Boom!"

As soon as he thought of it, a thundercloud about ten feet in size appeared above his head.

In this thundercloud, the colors of the five elements, gold, wood, water, fire and earth, lingered endlessly, and finally condensed into a gray thunder dragon with lively eyes, bared fangs and claws, which looked lifelike and rolled endlessly in the thundercloud.

But in just a moment, the thunder dragon accidentally exploded again. In the thundercloud, a three-foot-long sword floated up and down continuously. On the tip of the sword, thunder was growing, flickering, and filled with an extremely terrifying aura.

Seals, locks, fans, bottles, phoenixes, tigers, wolves, Kui...they change endlessly and in a myriad of ways.

"Innate Great Thunder Cloud Technique!"

During his forty years of practice, Gu Yuan not only honed his magical powers, but also practiced his skills.

With the help of a pool of innate thunder in the Thunder Valley in Nanshan Region, Gu Yuan used the Golden Seal of the Great Dream to deduce yin and yang, comprehend the five elements, refine all kinds of thunder, and finally re-refined the [Five Thunder Punishment Heaven Seal] and obtained an [Innate Great Thunder Cloud Seal].

This seal is the result of his practice of thunder magic, and it is also the carrier of various thunder treasures. It already has a trace of sword pill, the characteristics of the fusion of seal and magic. It is both a treasure and a magic.

The clouds can emit thunder of the five elements, condense the power of heavenly calamity, change in a thousand ways, trap and guard, all at will, and are extremely powerful, extremely extraordinary.

Thunder roared, and after careful deduction for a long time, Gu Yuan put away the thunderclouds, and with a thought, he summoned an avatar that was exactly the same as him.

“Taiyin Dharmakaya…”

However, what is different from the previous ones is that this Dharma body has a male body and a female appearance, with a gentle face, and seems to have a more feminine aura.

But her aura was pure, a body of extreme yin, with just a hint of pink in her eyes, giving her a hint of enchantment.

Looking at the Dharma body in front of him, Gu Yuan couldn't help but reveal memories in his eyes, and his thoughts returned to Mount Jiuyi.
