I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Chapter 573: Chapter 373: Senior Sister, Don’t Be Vexed—Gu Yuan Breaks Through the Formation!

The rain is still falling.

Lightning flashes and thunder roars, the entire world is shrouded in a hazy curtain of rain, mist rising, obscuring everything.

Mere mortals can only hide indoors, looking grimly at the droplets hanging from the eaves, while the cultivators of Yinhuang Mountain, on the other hand, are all setting up their escape light, using various means to avoid the rain, flying towards the celestial vault.

Initially, the heavy rain pours down like a waterfall, but if one’s escape light is masterful and cultivation is deep, crossing a layer of gang wind, one will find the celestial vault bright and the world clearly open.

Above the rolling gang wind, the dark clouds disperse, revealing a bright and clear expanse, with a gigantic cyan cloud platform standing tall and vast, capturing the eye.

On the north and south sides of the cloud platform, there are masses of clouds floating.

On the south side, a cyan light akin to that of the cloud platform, and on the north side, a dazzling golden light.

It’s none other than the cultivators of Cyan Peak Daoist School and Thousand Scripture Pavilion.

"The three days have passed, Hong Lie, let’s begin!"

Master Yunyang stood at the forefront of the cyan cloud mass, addressing Master Hong Lie on the north side.

"No rush, let’s settle the contract first to avoid any regret later!"

Master Hong Lie waved his large sleeve, instantly producing a golden restriction compass. The restrictions on the compass were densely packed, the most Gu Yuan had ever seen in his life; the contract’s power was so intense it seemed almost ready to overflow.

Upon seeing this, Master Yunyang waved his sleeve too, taking out a cyan compass, which also had a brilliant and intense restriction power flowing over it.

"Clang!"

Both unleashed their mana in unison, and the two compasses immediately emitted a crisp ringing sound. Subsequently, a vast power surged from the compasses, and all the disciples whose names were inscribed within the sect registry felt a sense of binding force from the unknown.

Master Yunyang wished to rest and recuperate, to digest Jiuyi Mountain, while Master Hong Lie feared the Cyan Peak Daoist School striking out from rest and attacking his Yinhuang Mountain. Thus, they mutually agreed that regardless of the result of this battle, they would not attack each other for one hundred and fifty years.

"The restriction is complete, we may proceed with magical combat!"

Master Hong Lie smiled in satisfaction, put away the restriction compass.

Then, a graceful and charmingly beautiful Daoist nun emerged and gracefully descended upon the cloud platform.

"Wan Guling of Thousand Scripture Pavilion, please do give your guidance!"

The alluring Daoist nun clasped her hands with a charming smile, addressing Gu Yuan and others.

Hearing this, Sword Fox Immortal slightly raised her pink eyes, and with a slight tremor of her form, appeared atop the cloud platform.

In three days’ time, they had already grasped the situation of the Golden Core cultivators in Thousand Scripture Pavilion.

Within Thousand Scripture Pavilion, currently, there were as many as four late-stage Golden Core great cultivators, but the three strongest were Songy Wenxing, Zai Hantie, and the Daoist nun before them, Wan Guling.

Wan Guling was relatively the weakest among the three, so Sword Fox Immortal volunteered to confront her.

To this, Gu Yuan had no objections.

Master Tiandou slightly frowned, his heart stirred, yet seeing Gu Yuan and Master Yunyang did not stop it, he sighed lightly and refrained from speaking further.

In his own opinion, he should confront Wan Guling, using a Middle Horse to battle a Lower Horse, and then have Gu Yuan use an Upper Horse to deal with a Middle Horse. This would be the most reasonable arrangement, likely ensuring two victories.

However, since Master Yunyang had already agreed to allow probing of the formation beforehand, he decided not to say much, thinking it was merely a trial anyway.

At this moment, on the cloud platform, both women respectfully saluted each other.

"Sister, my apologies!"

Wan Guling lightly laughed, then with a graceful wave of her hand, a small "Pipa" Dharma Seal whirled out, hovering above her head.

"Boom!!"

Furthermore, spiritual qi surged, golden light spread out, a nine-hundred-zhang high, vaguely-faced "female phantom" wearing a Daoist robe suddenly appeared behind Wan Guling.

Celestial Yin Maiden anomaly.

This anomaly can manipulate the moonlight and yin qi, and it provides a considerable boost to all "Sound Dao" Dharma Seals and artifacts. Additionally, it enhances the speed of cultivation when used, being an anomaly that can only be condensed through the Superior True Scripture of the Thousand Scripture Pavilion.

Although Wan Guling’s anomaly is only nine hundred zhang tall, it possesses abilities not inferior to that of a High-grade Anomaly.

At this moment, with both the anomaly and the "Pipa" Dharma Seal simultaneously manifesting, the void trembled, countless formless sound waves traversed space, directly bombarding Sword Fox Immortal’s Sea of Consciousness.

Soul-Shocking Pipa Seal!

This seal is not a soul-rending, extremely powerful Dharma Seal, but a subtly influential, imperceptibly gentle "Seal of Shock".

Once struck, a cultivator’s divine soul will constantly hear murmurs, day and night without respite, lowering the state of cultivation and magical combat by several tenths, making concentration impossible, and impairing mana control.

Moreover, this seal has a unique ability called "Sound of Nothingness". The pipa sound echoes from the void, lacking form or substance, and even if an ordinary cultivator knows they are under the influence of demonic sounds, they can never find the "source of the demonic sound", making it impossible to destroy without locating the source.

This seal is not demonic, just highly mystical, and it is very fitting for Wan Guling to use it as a probe.

Sword Fox Immortal observed this, slightly raised her pink eyes, and behind her surged anomalies transforming into a thousand-zhang tall pink spirit fox, whose entire body was pink, even its eyes were a shade of pink. If not for its mountainous size, it would resemble a domestic pet.

And around this fox, snowflakes silently drift, carrying icy cold air.

Illusory Spirit Fox, Cold Heaven Snow Land.

Sword Fox Immortal contains both human and fox blood, and her anomaly is dual-formed.

Amidst the surging anomaly, a pitcher-shaped Dharma Seal silently turned, floating above Sword Fox Immortal’s head.
