I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Chapter 324: Chapter 268: Stone Flood Dragon, Black Scorpion!

"Such dense Spiritual Qi!"

With a single step, another new world emerged, and the rich Spiritual Qi rushed toward him, prompting Gu Yuan to exclaim in admiration.

This Secret Realm surpasses his Purple Sun Peak by a notch.

"Such a majestic Spirit Peak!"

Then he looked up, only to see a Spirit Peak thousands of feet high, rising from the ground like a blue dragon soaring and directly piercing the clouds, incredibly majestic.

Within the Spirit Peak, the roar of beasts was incessant.

Countless years had passed without anyone appearing in this Secret Realm, allowing it to become a haven for Demon Beasts.

"Master, follow this path, and you’ll see the White Jade Small Tower where I obtained the Tribulation-avoiding Dragon Talisman,"

the Heart-devouring Insect said quietly from Gu Yuan’s shoulder.

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, but he did not follow the Heart-devouring Insect’s guidance to step onto the path. Instead, he extended his Divine Sense to survey the surroundings.

His Divine Sense was now comparable to a Mid-Stage Golden Core, extremely vast, encompassing a radius of several miles under his command.

"Boom!"

After briefly examining, Gu Yuan activated his Escape Light, transforming into a dazzling thunderbolt, and flew sharply toward the peak!

If there were a Foundation Establishment Cultivator here, they would have to be cautious, but he, being a Golden Core, had some confidence.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to see what secrets the Spirit Peak held.

"Boom!"

Initially, everything went smoothly, and Gu Yuan’s Escape Light moved swiftly. In just a moment, he crossed halfway up the mountain, reaching the upper half of the Spirit Peak.

In the Spirit Peak, some fierce bird Demon Beasts began to screech incessantly and attacked Gu Yuan.

The Secret Realm is an independent Little World rich in Spiritual Qi, with alternating days and nights, but ultimately not a true grand world.

Generally speaking, the Demon Beasts born within the Secret Realm have extremely low spiritual wisdom and struggle to become enlightened.

If it were in the South Mountain Domain, seeing Gu Yuan’s Escape Light, those Little Demons would have long since fled in terror, shivering in fear.

But the Little Demons in the Secret Realm were exceptionally ferocious, attacking Gu Yuan like moths to a flame.

However, even though Gu Yuan had not specifically refined a Flying Seal, just the Escape Light of a Golden Core Cultivator was beyond the reach of these Little Demons.

He flew like a blue lightning bolt, tearing through the Void, directly heading toward the summit.

Vaguely, at the summit, a White Jade Small Tower could be seen hanging upside down, with a Profound Mystery Dao Charm circulating endlessly.

"Clang!"

But at that moment, a golden net phantom suddenly appeared in the Void out of nowhere.

This golden net was covered with dense Restriction runes, dazzling and confusing, with a strong Anti-Space intent suddenly manifesting, covering the Celestial Vault.

Gu Yuan felt countless shackles suddenly appear in the world, as if he was carrying a mountain, his Escape Light unable to move forward, forcing him to stop.

"Sky-Sealing Array?"

"Tier Three High-grade?"

The Array’s power was unparalleled, yet Gu Yuan felt a slight relief.

Though the Tier Three High-grade Array was powerful enough to restrict a Late Stage Golden Core, it was ultimately Tier Three, not Tier Four.

If it were a Tier Four Array, he would likely achieve nothing today.

"Buzz!"

At that moment, the golden net phantom in the sky tightened, seemingly attempting to ensnare Gu Yuan within.

Gu Yuan paused slightly but didn’t resort to any means, descending his Escape Light onto the green stone path on the upper half of the mountain.

Once the Escape Light landed, the golden net disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

This Array was merely to prevent flying, restricting cultivators from directly reaching the summit. As long as you didn’t fly, the Array naturally concealed itself.

"Could this really be a trial ground?"

Gu Yuan looked up at the winding green stone path and the towering ancient trees on both sides, furrowing his brow slightly.

"As far as I can see, it’s likely!"

"Following this green stone path upward, Master will surely encounter a powerful Demon Beast. Defeating it should grant entry to the Jade Tower and obtain treasure."

"The previous few Jade Towers, I’ve undergone similar experiences,"

the Heart-devouring Insect said quietly, trembling its wings.

"Well then, let’s test the mountain guardian Demon Beast’s abilities!"

Gu Yuan thought briefly, deciding to follow the green stone path up the mountain, adhering to the trial set by the Master of the Secret Realm.

The Tier Three High-grade Anti-Space Array was challenging for even a Late Stage Golden Core, and his realm still lacked the strength.

The most crucial point was that since the Master of the Secret Realm devised methods to prevent cultivators from easily entering the Jade Tower, there might be other measures.

It’s best to go along with the setup first and see what unfolds.

With this thought, Gu Yuan no longer hesitated, slowly stepping along the green stone path towards the mountain top.

Despite not flying, Gu Yuan’s pace was swift, and soon the Jade Tower at the summit was once again faintly visible.

Occasionally, some foolish Little Demons attempted to attack, but before Gu Yuan could act, they were drained of blood by the Heart-devouring Insect, turning into corpses.

As the distance to the summit decreased, the ancient trees on both sides grew increasingly tall and dense, yet the surroundings suddenly quieted down.

Not a trace of beast roars or insect chirps, everything fell silent.

Gu Yuan grew vigilant, the Ruyi True Leaf in his sleeve poised to unleash, his Divine Thought sweeping across intensely, observing all anomalies.

Yet beneath the cliff, everything remained silent; only the distant inverted White Jade Small Tower flickered with Dao Charm, circulating endlessly.

"Hmm?"

But at that moment, Gu Yuan suddenly noticed that the Spirit Peak beneath his feet began to shake.

The shaking rapidly intensified!

Tremors shook the earth and mountains, countless rocks were trembling.
