I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Chapter 360: Chapter 284: Boundary Demon Refining Seal, Treasure Refining Celestial Cutting Gourd! (Part 2)

Without any visible action from Gu Yuan, within the magic net, the incense burner altar and the meditation cushion incense all returned to their original places.

Gu Yuan casually sat on the meditation cushion, lit the incense, his expression calm, truly giving the impression of being the master of this secret realm.

"Boom!"

With a thought, a golden pill fire appeared in Gu Yuan’s palm, enveloping the township order.

The township order had long lost its master. Although its restrictions were complex, under Gu Yuan’s pill fire refining, in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it was completely reduced to Gu Yuan’s possession.

In an instant, the token shone brightly, and all the arrays within the secret realm trembled slightly.

The entire secret realm seemed to be bound by an invisible shackle; without Gu Yuan’s command, no one could enter the secret realm.

After refining the township order, Gu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, his sense of security greatly enhanced.

This order also proved that there were no longer any hidden dangers in the secret realm, and the master of the secret realm from many years ago had completely fallen.

But thinking about it, time is the most ruthless, cutting down all prodigies. Even a Daoist Embryo only has two thousand years of lifespan. This master of the secret realm had not achieved a Daoist Embryo, how much longer could he have lived?

"Dual Gold Technique Pill, no need to say more, just don’t know what this jade scroll and this golden gourd are..."

Gathering his thoughts, Gu Yuan refocused his mind on the treasures before him.

Among the treasures, there were seven jade boxes, three jade bottles, and one treasure mirror.

Besides these, there were the three glowing precious pill, jade scroll, and golden gourd.

The precious pill needed no explanation, as Gu Yuan also recognized the origin of this pill.

He wanted to stay here and not leave because he intended to refine this pill first to enhance his strength.

But with the township order in hand, this matter was not urgent.

He then turned his gaze to the jade scroll and the golden gourd.

"Boom!"

Gu Yuan’s mind moved, and as his thoughts touched the jade scroll, a vast and obscure influx of information surged into Gu Yuan’s mind.

Countless golden characters, with a hint of demon nature, were etched deeply into Gu Yuan’s heart like sharp swords.

As the Dao charm flowed and profound light arose, they eventually condensed into several large characters:

Boundary Demon Refining Seal!

"Boundary Demon Refining Seal, if one dies, who becomes the demon?"

"Interesting..."

After a long while, Gu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, showing a thoughtful expression.

The jade scroll recorded a law seal of unknown rank but extremely profound nature, known as Boundary Demon Refining!

Though it said demon refining, it wasn’t a law seal specifically targeting demon cultivators, but a seal that created a boundary and opened a separate magical combat space for combat!

To refine this seal, one must find the Land of the Spirit, only with this land can the seal be crafted.

Once this seal is refined, it can open up a peculiar little realm. As long as the enemy cultivator doesn’t surpass oneself by a major realm, they can be forcibly drawn into this realm to engage in magical combat.

And the realm’s terrain and spiritual Qi are all manifested by the Seal Master’s thoughts.

It can be filled with thunderclouds, surrounded by lightning, or be ablaze with fire and flowing magma, or with towering waves and stormy rains.

Any change in the terrain is within the Seal Master’s thoughts.

To put it bluntly, this seal can create a realm unique to the Seal Master, becoming their main combat ground to help slay enemy cultivators.

But despite the seal’s profundity, it also has a downside.

Once this seal is used, a life and death outcome must be reached!

Of the two people, only one can escape this realm.

When one dies, their entire cultivation is devoured by the seal, becoming nourishment for the little realm, aiding in the transformation of its landscape and spiritual light, expanding the realm.

Furthermore, the deceased will transform into a ghost-like realm spirit, guarding the realm.

This transformation is referred to as "Demon Refining."

Demon refining spares no one; if the Seal Master dies, their cultivation will also be devoured, and the seal will fall into the hands of the enemy cultivator.

When one dies, who becomes the demon!

This is an extremely domineering and quite wicked law seal!

Moreover, this seal was created for the Golden Seal. To cultivate this seal, one must infuse it with a trace of gold-attribute, otherwise it cannot suppress the Land of the Spirit and forge the law seal!

"Seizing the body through demon refining, the more you kill, the stronger you become. Truly the seal of a demon cultivator..."

Gu Yuan gently stroked the jade scroll, his thoughts drifting.

This seal truly dances on a knife’s edge, requiring tremendous confidence and courage.

Any misstep could lead to complete defeat!

All painstaking efforts in refining could become someone else’s possession.

To think there exists such a seal where, upon one’s death, the law seal is directly controlled by others, and oneself becomes nourishment, it’s truly strange!

Who could have thought of such a crazy concept?

"Did the master of this secret realm refine this seal? If it was refined, it must be the Golden Seal. Who now holds it, and why has it not been seen?"

Gu Yuan thought again of the secret realm master’s identity.

But within the secret realm, there were no bones, no last words, and no presence of the Golden Seal.

It made Gu Yuan feel quite regretful.

If he could obtain this Golden Seal, he wouldn’t have to think too much, he could just use it for refining.

"Is there the presence of the Land of the Spirit in this treasure box?"

Gu Yuan moved his thoughts, waved his mana, and directly opened several jade boxes and jade bottles.

In an instant, Spiritual Light floated, the room brightened, and a refreshing fragrance wafted in.

"Tier Four Spirit Ore, Thunder Heart Ore!"

"Three thousand-year-old ginseng, Treasure Yellow Ginseng!"

"Tier Three High-grade spiritual fruit, Flying Snow Ghost Fruit!"

"..."

Inside several treasure boxes and jade bottles, there was a piece of Tier Four Spirit Ore, and the rest were tier three spiritual flowers and rare herbs, extremely precious, but there was no trace of the Land of the Spirit.

Gu Yuan saw this and sighed slightly, though he was not overly disappointed.

The Land of the Spirit, known as the origin of all soil, can reshape realms and alter veins, growing mountains into peaks, is a top-grade Spiritual Object.

The lowest grade is also tier three!

A cluster of the Land of the Spirit, if cultivated properly, after a thousand years, can form a Tier Three Spirit Peak, an unparalleled treasure.

In the Secret Realm, without this item, Gu Yuan can still accept it.

Just under such circumstances, this seal seems useless.

"Boundary Demon Refining..."

Gu Yuan then picked up the Jade Scroll, examined it closely, then put it away for later.

"Truth Revealing Treasure Mirror..."

Afterward, Gu Yuan picked up the Treasure Mirror, Pill Fire surged, continuously refining it.

This Treasure Mirror is quite thin, thin as a cicada’s wing, with gold Dao Patterns on both sides, gleaming brightly, symbolizing a profound atmospheric presence.

At first, the Treasure Mirror was quite resistant, unwilling to accept Gu Yuan’s refining, but in the Pill Fire, it ultimately couldn’t withstand, finally marked by Gu Yuan, simultaneously information flowed within the mirror, letting Gu Yuan understand this mirror’s abilities.

Truth Revealing!

This mirror is of high grade, unexpectedly a High-grade Treasure, not as Gu Yuan previously estimated as Middle-grade Treasure.

However, since it’s not a killing artifact, its Spiritual Light is slightly dim, far less brilliant than the Golden Gourd.

After the mirror is cast, within a hundred-zhang radius, it becomes bright as day, all concealment techniques, transformation paths cannot hide, instantly revealing the true form.

Not only that, within the mirror’s range, the cultivators and demons’ mana circulation trajectory, Dharma Seal form, are all illuminated, allowing the mirror holder to anticipate the enemy’s moves.

"What a precious treasure!"

After Gu Yuan refined this treasure, he was overjoyed, and fondly caressed the Treasure Mirror.

After some time, he reluctantly stored the Treasure Mirror within himself, and then set his gaze on the golden gourd in the air!

The golden gourd is not large, just right to hold in one palm, all over the gourd body are dense golden Dao Seals, blurring one’s vision.

"Such ancient Dao Seals..."

Gu Yuan’s Divine Sense surged, glanced over, and curiosity rose in his heart.

Dao Seals are ancient and contemporary, not necessarily stronger if more ancient, but ancient seals surely indicate the treasure’s great age, unlike current items.

"Boom!"

Gu Yuan didn’t say more, golden Pill Fire surged fiercely, began burning to refine the golden gourd.

"Buzz buzz!"

The Dao Seals on the golden gourd flowed, exuding a mysterious golden light, like a golden gourd-cloak, enveloping the gourd tightly.

Gu Yuan’s Pill Fire surged unceasingly, but he could never penetrate this layer of golden gourd-cloak.

"What a precious treasure!"

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan was not shocked but rather delighted.

Artifacts have spirit, treasure-cloak self-generating, this is a sign of a top-grade precious item!

This golden gourd is certainly no ordinary High-grade Treasure!

"Hoo!"

Without hesitation, Gu Yuan transformed himself into a Dragon Body!

With his human form, afraid it would be hard to refine this gourd in a short period.

This golden gourd-cloak is very sturdy, by no means a mundane item.

"Boom!"

Once transforming into Dragon Body, the Spiritual Qi within the Secret Realm immediately churned towards him, continuously pouring in, golden Dragon Flame continually spit out, dazzling brightly, exceedingly powerful!

Dragon Body Transformation, this is also a profound change only attainable in the late stage of Golden Core.

Under the burning of Dragon Flame, the golden gourd-cloak continuously melted away, eventually completely disappearing, and the ancient Dao Seals on it got refined incessantly.

A mysterious essence also surged into Gu Yuan’s heart.

"Treasure Refining Celestial Cutting Gourd!"
