I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Chapter 398: Chapter 301: Fellow Daoist Su, You Yielded!

In the past, he always released the Sword Pill first, then divided the sword light, with the Sword Pill hidden within the light, combining as one to jointly cut down the enemy cultivator.

But there was a flaw to this method: if the enemy cultivator had sharp eye power or a formidable capture technique, they could directly see through the Sword Pill’s true form, seizing it, temporarily imprisoning or defiling it, causing the sword light to completely dissipate and lose its slaughter power.

Gu Yuan had previously been restrained by defilement and capture techniques.

But now is different from the past; his mana is so powerful that every beam of divided sword light carries immense might, able to continuously divide as long as the mana doesn’t run out. The sword light remains constant without needing the Sword Pill itself to move.

Then it’s time to use the Sword Pill Array Platform Method!

This method involves not moving the Sword Pill, relying solely on the divided sword light to slay the enemy cultivator. Whenever a beam of sword light dissipates, the Sword Pill can subdivide again to replenish.

In this way, the Sword Pill remains uncontrolled while the sword light is perpetually relentless, attacking like tidal waves, pressing with momentum, able to exhaust the enemy cultivator to death.

This method isn’t the way to break all techniques, but it pushes the division of sword light to the limit.

If the enemy cultivator has extraordinary techniques to resist the divided sword light and unparalleled defense, Gu Yuan still has the Majestic Thunder Punishment Seal, the Sound Dao Seal, even the Golden Brilliance Great Sword Seal, and Dragon Body Transformation.

Considering his current cultivation realm, this Sword Pill Array Platform Method is highly suitable for him.

However, how it performs in actual combat still depends on Su Chengyin’s response.

Su Chengyin didn’t know he had already been considered a test subject, a guinea pig.

He had just returned to human form, his mana still surging when twenty-two dazzling sword beams had already come to besiege him from all directions.

Each beam was sharp to the extreme, causing his skin to sting, his eyelids to twitch furiously!

He roared in his heart but had no time to search for answers when a taupe Dharma Seal quickly emerged, transforming into a yellow halo covering his whole body.

"Earth-Grasping Primordial Magnetic Seal!"

This seal could release the earth magnetic power, best at restraining metallic Sword Pills. Any sword seal entering it seemed affected by infinite gravity, like trapped in swamp, unable to advance.

"Hahaha!"

But Gu Yuan merely laughed at the sight.

His Sword Pill Array Platform Method didn’t use the Sword Pill, only divided sword light, which is intangible, isn’t metallic, and thus barely affected by earth magnetic power.

Besides, he dare uses this method because the divided sword light is swift as thunder, dazzlingly sharp, able to cut mountains, divide rivers, break clouds, unspeakably fierce!

If the divided sword light could be easily interrupted, restrained, obstructed, then what kind of sword seal would it be?

Even the Beiming True Water Seal from Master of Mount Jing was cleaved open by his sword; let alone a mere Earth-Grasping Primordial Magnetic?

Twenty-two beams of sword light, unchanged, attacked in turns, equivalent to twenty-two top-level cultivators in the same realm jointly besieging, rather than twenty-two rustic villagers attacking with hoes.

"Zheng!"

The sword light merely darted suddenly, instantly breaking through the earth magnetic power, the twenty-two sword beams surrounding Su Chengyin’s head, neck, heart, Dantian, all vital parts, descending like a torrential sword rain.

"Mountain-Crushing Hand Seal!"

Su Chengyin’s heart pounded, the shadow of death flooding into his heart, his mana surged forth, instantly transformed into a gigantic hand seal, descending from above, hoping to extinguish all the sword light.

This seal indeed had some power, a force like mountains and seas, immediately extinguishing the four beams facing head-on.

But not even a fraction of an instant passed when six sword beams regenerated, reforming into twenty-two in total.

As long as Gu Yuan’s mana remains, these twenty-two sword beams would be nearly eternally indestructible.

"Boom!"

The gigantic hand seal under the successive besiege of twenty sword beams shattered in a breath.

Before Su Chengyin could react, cold stabbing sensations spread across his head, neck, heart, Dantian, all his vital parts.

Twenty-two brilliant sword beams, like porcupine quills, hovered inserted in Su Chengyin’s body, needing only another inch forward for him to instantaneously face death and Dao dissolution.

And by this time, the magical combat had begun for only a few breaths.

The victory was decided!

Su Chengyin’s face paled, cold sweat streamed down, after reaching the Golden Core stage, the long-unfelt fear and dread surged into his heart simultaneously.

Meanwhile, seeing the sword light stopping, the burly man named Zhu from the Thousand Peaks Sect also heaved a sigh of relief and sat back down.

Su Chengyin had lost too quickly; the sword light was excessively acute; in that instant just then, he hadn’t reacted at all.

If Gu Yuan truly intended to kill Su Chengyin, he felt he himself wouldn’t be able to obstruct.

In that instant, victory and defeat were decided, life and death distinct!

"Fellow Daoist Su, I concede!"

And at this moment, Gu Yuan’s voice finally echoed from afar, resounding atop the Stone Platform.

With these words, the clouds on the mountain peak fell silent.

Then, a burst of intense noise erupted.

"He won? Did he really win?"

"How is it possible? Who is this person really, that he defeated Su Chengyin?"

"Such fierce Thunder and Sword Techniques, not only defeated Su Chengyin but did so with such decisiveness and precision. These abilities..."

In the crowd, exclamations of astonishment and surprise rose, and everyone looked incredulously at the tall figure on the Cloud Platform.

"Done for, done for, I placed a heavy bet on Su Chengyin, now I’ll be left with nothing but my underwear!"

"Hahaha, I won! Junior Martial Uncle Gu actually won against Su Chengyin, I’ve struck it rich!"

Among the crowd, cultivators hosting betting stands shouted excitedly, and several disciples from the Thousand Waves Sect were filled with joy.

They had bet on Gu Yuan, initially just out of a sense of sect loyalty, not expecting he would truly win.

In the distance, Zhang Guangcheng’s expression froze, and his hand, which was stroking his beard, unconsciously pulled out a strand of white beard.

He never imagined that Gu Yuan could really defeat Su Chengyin, and do so with such decisiveness and precision. This skill is too frightening; by this reasoning, doesn’t it mean he surpassed all Early Stage Golden Core cultivators of the Thousand Waves Sect?

Suddenly, he felt a pang of regret.

But in an instant, his gaze flickered, as if remembering something, his expression sank again.

"Hahaha, magnificent, Fellow Daoist Gu truly has impressive flair!"

Ding Zhichong had been worried, fearful that Gu Yuan would suffer a great defeat, losing face, but unexpectedly, the situation reversed swiftly, with Su Chengyin directly defeated.

And lost without any dispute.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, excellent skills, I am in awe!"

Su Chengyin’s face turned from green to white, but as Gu Yuan withdrew the sword light, he ultimately regained his composure and bowed respectfully to Gu Yuan, speaking in a bitter tone.

Gu Yuan smiled faintly, without false modesty, and with a roll of mana, took the red Blood Sandalwood Order from the cliff.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist!"

Gu Yuan said with a smile, then with a surge of mana, the Blood Sandalwood Order instantly emitted a bloody rainbow light, enveloping him and disappearing.

This Blood Sandalwood Order is linked to the Secret Realm within Blood Sandalwood Mountain.

Gu Yuan only felt a flicker before arriving in a dim red space.

This space is very small, spanning not more than a hundred acres, with red Blood Sandalwood Grass growing on the ground, and some peculiar Spiritual Insects flying in the air, emitting a red glow.

In the center of the Secret Realm, a red treasure tree about a yard tall exudes a rich Spiritual Qi, its ancient branches twisting, bearing a blood-red Vermilion Fruit so full and round it looks ready to fall at any moment.

Just approaching this fruit, Gu Yuan felt the mana within him surging, seeming ready to condense again.

"Pop!"

However, this place was not the right time to consume the fruit, so Gu Yuan took out a jade box prepared beforehand, placed the Blood Sandalwood Vermilion Fruit within it, and then his figure flashed, leaving the Secret Realm.

Outside the Secret Realm, mountainous clouds hovered, and numerous cultivators had not left, seemingly wanting to catch another glimpse of Gu Yuan’s prowess.

Su Chengyin stood in place, seemingly intending to converse with Gu Yuan.

But with the goal already achieved, this place was not suitable for conversation. Gu Yuan waved his sleeve, urging Ding Zhichong to launch the Dharma Boat, returning to the Thousand Waves Sect.

On the way, naturally, they passed Zhang Guangcheng.

Upon arriving at the Dharma Assembly, the Dharma Boat was lavish and the Immortal Cranes flew together, but somewhat lacked in momentum.

But now, carrying the aura of victory, with the Daoist Banner and Spirit Banner waving vigorously, the Immortal Cranes furiously fluttering their wings, the momentum was entirely different.

Gu Yuan stood on the deck of the Dharma Boat, his robe hanging, his stature towering as if aligning with the sky, gazing toward Zhang Guangcheng, he spoke indifferently: "Brother Dao, having won the fruit and defeated the enemy, is it not a major achievement? Can it grant me entry to the Scripture Hall?"

Zhang Guangcheng’s expression halted momentarily, but facing the seemingly divine Gu Yuan at this moment, he could only force a smile and say: "Fellow Daoist Gu, with such capabilities, displaying the might of our Thousand Waves Sect, naturally, you may enter the Scripture Hall."

"Since that’s the case, please lead the way, Senior Brother Zhang!"
