Chapter 627 - 397: The Mountain of "Unbound and Unrestricted", Lament of the Golden Seal!
Chapter 627: Chapter 397: The Mountain of "Unbound and Unrestricted", Lament of the Golden Seal!
Gu Yuan’s Escape Light flashed urgently, without any pause.
On ordinary days, encountering items that aid in Realm-Breaking, he would surely vie for them.
But today is not like ordinary days.
Everything pales in comparison to the Celestial Ruler Jade in terms of value.
With this stone, the cultivation of the Overstepping Seal becomes a possibility; once this seal is formed, everything else smoothly follows.
Moreover, the Golden Flood Dragon acts with extreme speed, summoning its allies at the first meeting; although the Sea Race powers in Demon Origin Mountain aren’t as formidable as those in Seven Profound Tower, they are still numerous.
This force, even Gu Yuan dares not confront head-on.
If treasures cannot be claimed easily, leaving is the next best choice.
Gu Yuan’s Escape Light was exceedingly swift, surpassing others, crossing multiple peaks in mere moments and arriving before a Spirit Peak shrouded in mist.
The topography of this peak is unique, appearing like a jade woman shielding her face with sleeves, standing silently. Mystical mists hover year-round, adding to its world-withdrawn sense.
This peak is exactly the goal of Gu Yuan’s journey, the Celestial Immortal Peak!
"This peak is unoccupied; truly, Demon Origin Mountain is my destiny’s land!"
Gu Yuan’s Divine Thought scanned, discovering no Great Demon or Golden Core cultivators on the peak, bringing slight joy to his heart.
The Celestial Ruler Jade is unlike ordinary treasures; it aids neither Realm-Breaking nor mana enhancement. Without the method of the Overstepping Seal, Ordinary Cultivators finding this stone can only perceive its mystique without understanding its specific purpose.
Thus, generally, no one comes to compete for it.
"Swish!"
Without lingering, Gu Yuan drove his Escape Light, heading straight into the peak.
"Boom!"
Just as Gu Yuan’s light dropped within ten zhang of the peak, an unprecedented force thunderously struck, pulling at Gu Yuan, seemingly wanting to draw him into the Celestial Vault.
"Gravity inversion, ascending to the heavens; indeed the birthplace of the Celestial Ruler Jade!"
Feeling this force, rather than fear, Gu Yuan felt joy.
The Celestial Ruler Jade, a Heaven-Earth Marvel Stone, containing Profound Mysterious Power, defies classification by rank yet earns its title as a marvel, possessing special abilities.
Inverting Circulation, unrestricted by laws.
Subtly altering surrounding "rules," gravity turns into ascending force, heaven becomes earth, earth becomes heaven, water becomes fire, fire becomes water—everything is chaotic yet traceable.
At this moment, to enter the Celestial Immortal Peak, Gu Yuan must pass through layers of Gang Wind, enduring strong "gravitational resistance," and forcefully descend.
"Having crossed the Dao Origin Golden Bridge, what peak here could obstruct me?!"
Gu Yuan chuckled softly, igniting his mana; an immense power emerged from the glow, piercing through layers of "resistance," forcefully entering the peak.
Amid the wind, clouds and mist veil the skies, but Gu Yuan’s vision remained clear, seeing things distinctly, though his ears seemed blocked by countless cotton, hearing nothing.
Fog obscures ears, not eyes.
This is also part of the terrain altered by the Celestial Ruler Jade.
Fortunately, at Gu Yuan’s cultivation level, senses play a minimal role, relying solely on powerful Divine Sense.
The inaudibility around him mattered not; he controlled his Escape Light and advanced further.
"Splash!"
Passing through layers of mist, a gigantic waterfall emerged in Gu Yuan’s sight, carrying water vapor, but the waterfall was reversed, flowing from bottom to top, suspended upside down like a galaxy in reverse, truly strange.
Yet, the most peculiar aspect was not the "reversal" of the waterfall.
But the "heat" of this waterfall.
Clearly, water cascaded upwards, droplets scattered, yet Gu Yuan sensed an immense scorching heat, as if the scene was not a waterfall but a sea of fire.
Indeed, Gu Yuan stepped forward, splashing water fell upon his Protective Shield, instantly radiating burning heat, seeming to consume his shield entirely.
"Truly interesting."
Though understanding the source of these changes, witnessing them first-hand brought novelty to Gu Yuan.
"Rise!"
Render fear redundant in the face of art mastery; Gu Yuan rallied his mana, forming an immensely robust Magical Force Shield before him, charging fiercely toward the "waterfall."
"Boom!"
Water splattered, yet fierce fiery heat ensued, distorting the surrounding air.
Gu Yuan’s formidable mana spoke volumes, directly braving the fiery waterfall, leaping through the "water curtain," into a stone cave beyond.
Inside the cave lay nothing but a stone wall.
Even Divine Sense probing revealed nothing special; the stone wall was truly real, integrated with the cliffside.
Yet Gu Yuan soared, slamming toward the wall.
"Splush!"
Though the stone wall appeared unyielding, Gu Yuan’s entry produced the sound of flowing water.
The wall did not move, nor did any water spill, yet Gu Yuan "swam" amidst the mountain.
Stone becomes water.
The entire cliff can be traversed.
With Mana activation, Gu Yuan moved swiftly, and within moments, penetrated a thousand zhang into the mountain, reaching a place emitting subtle fluorescence.
Before him, amid dark rock, rested a strange jade stone the size of a fist, crystal-clear like agate.
An ineffable aura and Qi flowed silently from the stone, subtly altering everything around.
"Fist-sized, it suffices!"
Seeing the fist-sized jade stone, Gu Yuan sounded a sigh of relief.
This stone’s value lies not in its rank, but in volume.
If too small to yield sufficient spiritual materials, it is equally useless.
