Chapter 623: Chapter 395: Transgressing Golden Seal, Demon Origin Mountain, Great Opportunity!
"No!"
"I was wrong, please spare me!"
The panicked voice echoed in the Cave Mansion, but to no avail.
The emerald bug image smirked ferociously and drilled directly into the black bat shadow. The bat shadow stood frozen, losing consciousness.
Seeing this, Gu Yuan let out a slight sigh of relief and then his spirit flickered, returning directly to his physical body.
"Bang!"
Spirit returned to the body, eyes opened. Gu Yuan gently activated his mana, breaking free from the "ropes" made of black spiritual light binding him, and then had the leisure to observe this Cave Mansion.
This Cave Mansion was vast, about a thousand yards inside, with walls carved from pure white jade, engraved with dense cloud patterns, exceptionally exquisite.
On either side of the Cave Mansion, there were around a hundred golden lamps, their golden flames shimmering brightly, illuminating the Cave Mansion as if it were daylight, warm and pleasant.
A jade staircase extended all the way from the gap outside the restriction, reaching to Gu Yuan’s feet.
And where Gu Yuan stood was a white jade pavilion.
Within the pavilion, there was a jade altar, upon the altar was a golden bracelet, seemingly once forcefully grabbed by something but ultimately failed, rolling to the edge of the altar, nearly falling to the ground.
However, Gu Yuan’s attention was drawn to what lay behind him.
"This is..."
Beyond the pavilion, the jade stairs continued, but after extending nine steps, abruptly stopped, the cut smooth, severing the path forward.
And when Gu Yuan looked up, he saw an invisible wall beyond the jade steps, blocking everything.
His mana lightly touched upon it, and it was as if a clay ox entering the sea, disappearing without a trace.
And at the ninth step of the jade stairs lay a pale golden Jade Slip, seemingly having tumbled down from somewhere beyond the unknown jade steps.
Gu Yuan, mana swirling, gently fetched the Jade Slip, picking it up.
Cautiously, he allocated a strand of divine thought into it, seeing countless golden seal characters flowing through within, finally forming three large characters: Overstepping Seal!
"Heaven has rules, not to be exceeded."
"Those who overstep may become immortals!"
Initially, Gu Yuan was still wary, concern about potential deceit within, yet as he slightly probed with his divine thought, he became irresistibly drawn in.
After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, filled with a sense of emotion.
"Crossing the East Sea, deep into foreign lands, finally obtaining this much-awaited opportunity..."
Within the Jade Slip laid the "Dharma Fate" that Gu Yuan tirelessly sought during this journey.
Overstepping Seal!
Cultivation has traces to follow, not entirely against heaven’s will. Each realm has its bottlenecks and shackles, just like the Golden Core Realm where achieving the peak only grants four thousand strands of mana.
Beyond four thousand strands of mana, no matter how you cultivate, no additional strand is possible.
Only by breaking through to Dao Embryo can mana continue to increase.
It’s like a wooden barrel already filled with water; no matter how much you add water, the water inside cannot increase a bit more.
To hold more water, only by enlarging the wooden barrel can it be done.
This is the bottleneck of cultivation, the shackles, the restriction on cultivators, impossible to infinitely become stronger.
But the Overstepping Seal can break these rules.
Overstepping, Overstepping means breaking the rules, doing what ordinary people cannot, only then can one possess abilities surpassing earthly talents and glimpse that unknowable Immortal Realm.
Moreover, this seal’s power is considerable; if mana consumption is disregarded, it can even break the shackles of the Dharma Seal, forcibly boosting, rapidly enhancing a cultivator’s combat power.
It is a Supreme Dharma Seal for cultivation and battle!
And the cultivation of this seal is extremely stringent, not only requiring the comprehension of "Overstepping Dao Seal," but also a strand of Immortal Golden Nature.
The seal’s vast power, if it is to be achieved, can only be forged with Golden Nature infusion.
Besides Golden Nature, Celestial Ruler Jade is needed as Dao material to break the "Celestial Rules."
This jade stone is extremely rare and precious, deemed "Exotic Stone," beyond measurement in ordinary terms.
"If this seal is paired with my Dragon Essence Golden Core technique, then my mana’s vastness..."
"The key lies in breaking through after Dao Embryo..."
Gu Yuan murmured softly in his heart, slightly excited.
His Dragon Essence Golden Core technique grants mana naturally three times thicker than others; if paired with Overstepping Seal, at Golden Core Peak, adding several thousand more strands of mana, then calculated, it’s nearly ten thousand more strands of mana than ordinary Golden Core.
This force, just the mere thought makes his scalp tingle, intimidating.
If truly accomplished, defeating Dao Embryo is more than just empty words!
With such power, what celestial tribulations for Dao Embryo are merely jokes.
With multitudes of ants, an elephant can be bitten to death; Dao Embryo cultivators are no more than that.
The Overstepping Seal was originally meant to break shackles for cultivators, forcefully enhancing their "foundation," making realm-breaking simpler, a stronger powerhouse post realm-breaking, capable of crushing peers.
After all, Overstepping Seal is not utterly devoid of rules; it allows cultivators to advance slightly further when peak power can go no further, adding around two thousand more strands of mana.
But paired with Gu Yuan’s Dragon Essence Golden Core technique, it’s simply defying the heavens.
"The only pity is that the cultivation of this seal is arduous; it requires more resources to cultivate this seal, delaying the breakthrough timing..."
After excitement, Gu Yuan regained composure.
Immortal Golden Nature, he has a strand. Previously pondering whether to seek a Dharma Seal for crafting into a Golden Seal to break through Dao Embryo.
Seeing it today, there’s no need to worry.
It’s precisely this Overstepping Seal!
This seal perfectly aligns with him.
Only, where to find this "Celestial Ruler Jade"?
Without this stone, like a skillful cook without rice, no matter how comprehensively the Dao Seal is understood, achieving cultivation is still difficult.
