I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Chapter 180: Chapter 163: Rune Path, Guided by the Spirit Fox

"Quickly search for a way, and leave this place!"

Seeing this, Gu Yuan couldn’t help but change his expression slightly and spoke in a deep voice to Cen Qingqing behind him.

The black Profound Turtle, towering a hundred feet high, with its Qi Blood vast as the sea, was an unknown Heaven-Earth Exotic Species. Although it hadn’t broken through to the Great Demon Realm, Gu Yuan knew that this demon was definitely not something he could contend with at present.

Not to mention, from the depths of the island, roars erupted. Who knows how many Demon Beasts were rushing toward this place.

Demon Qi billowed, and the entire forest seemed to come alive, with dense malice surging like tides, ready to engulf the two of them.

This place cannot be lingered in!

However, in Cen Qingqing’s hand, the Dharma Seal shone brightly, moving swiftly and creating countless afterimages. It seemed to be at a crucial moment of deduction, her eyes tightly shut, seemingly unheard of Gu Yuan’s words.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan’s expression remained unchanged, but his Heart and Spirit had quietly focused on a shallow depression a hundred feet away.

In the depression, there was a weak water flow, gathering into a pool.

His Heart and Spirit stirred this water, while in his Dantian, the Azure Roaming Heaven-Evading Seal trembled lightly, poised for departure at any moment.

Not only that, but his gaze had flickered to Cen Qingqing’s black sleeve.

There was the Silver Shuttle Spiritual Artifact needed to leave this place.

But everything was kept dormant; Gu Yuan was just preparing for the worst.

His sword light shimmered brilliantly, the Leaving Realm Clarity Seal shone brightly, and the Vast Sea Qi Seal water Qi surged, still striving to fend off the attacking Demon Beasts.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

But as time passed, the gigantic Profound Turtle was getting closer and closer.

Above the sky, a multitude of Spiritual Qi surged, swallowed in one breath by the Profound Turtle, after which its massive mouth opened, and an extremely dense black light continuously gathered, as if brewing some terrifying Technique.

Gu Yuan frowned tightly, unease rising in his heart.

The Azure Roaming Heaven-Evading Seal began to tremble.

"Found it!"

But just then, Cen Qingqing finally opened her eyes, surprise evident in her tone.

"Spirit Fox, guide!"

No time to explain, she flicked her hand, and a crimson Dharma Seal flew out abruptly, transforming into a three-foot-tall crimson Spirit Fox phantom. The Spirit Fox was vivid, its fur fiery red, like a flame falling upon the island.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The Spirit Fox’s nostrils flared, and it let out a light howl, seemingly discovering something, then suddenly headed in a direction. freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Clang!"

Each step the Spirit Fox took, a gray rune lit up on the ground.

With brisk steps, the Spirit Fox traversed a hundred feet in a moment, leaving gray runes lighting up on the ground it passed over.

In an instant, hundreds of gray runes lit up completely, forming what seemed like a Rune Path appearing upon the black island.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The Spirit Fox paused slightly ahead, making a soft urging sound, seemingly urging Gu Yuan and Cen Qingqing to follow.

"Go!"

"Quickly follow the Spirit Fox!"

And at this time, the black light in the Profound Turtle’s mouth had reached its peak, about to surge out. Cen Qingqing couldn’t care to explain, immediately pulling Gu Yuan’s hand, following the Spirit Fox and stepping into the strange Rune Path.

In the Rune Path, gray light shone, enveloping Gu Yuan and Cen Qingqing, seemingly isolating all auras.

In an instant, all the Demon Beasts outside seemed to lose their targets, the coldness and bloodthirst in their eyes completely dissipated.

The entire island fell into extreme silence at this moment, with only the faint sound of wind whistling by.

"Whoosh!"

With the sound of the wind, all the Demon Beasts seemed to return to their norm, retreating into the black forest like tides, and the massive Profound Turtle also turned its direction, slowly heading into the depths of the island.

Those figures riding Demon Birds also soared into the sky, slowly disappearing into the horizon, as if they had never appeared.

And as those figures left, Gu Yuan saw a silver badge hanging from their waists, with two sharp and inexplicable characters:

"Extreme Yin..."

Gu Yuan whispered the two words softly, his brow slightly furrowed.

"Extreme Yin Island!"

"This is the Secret Spirit Island of the Extreme Yin Sect, Extreme Yin Island!"

As Gu Yuan puzzled over this, Cen Qingqing suddenly explained beside him.

"The Extreme Yin Sect was once a major power in the Ten Thousand Islands Sea, founded by a Golden Core Ascendant who traveled to this place. Its disciples were known for their deceit and ruthlessness, making numerous enemies within the Ten Thousand Islands Sea."

"Later, for unknown reasons, the Extreme Yin Sect vanished overnight, without a trace for hundreds of years."

"Unexpectedly, my father found the trace of this island..."

Cen Qingqing’s tone also carried a hint of confusion and uncertainty.

"Extreme Yin Sect? Then why have the Demon Beasts on this island and those disciples with badges turned out like this?"

Gu Yuan looked at the gray Rune Path before him, then at the departing Demon Beasts in the distance, a heart full of confusion.

"These Demon Beasts must have been tainted by Demonic Qi, losing their intellect, leading to Demon Body mutation. As for those disciples, perhaps it was the same for them?"

Cen Qingqing shook her head, also somewhat perplexed. ƒreewebɳovel.com

"As for this Rune Path, it should be the remnant Array passage left by the Extreme Yin Sect, capable of concealing auras. I used the Guiding Seal to activate the residual power of this Array to evade the Demon Beasts’ attacks."

"My father should have used this method as well."

Cen Qingqing explained as Gu Yuan watched her warily.

"Guiding Seal?"

Gu Yuan couldn’t help but ask.

Cen Qingqing hesitated for a moment, seemingly recalling the scene of Gu Yuan diligently protecting her, and eventually explained: "This seal is made from the Dao bone of a thousand-year-old Spirit Fox, able to see through the mists of my fate, pointing out a glimmer of life in the unseen."

See through the mists of fate, finding a glimmer of life?

Gu Yuan was astonished, involuntarily glancing at the Spirit Fox, like a flame elf in front, his gaze inquiring.

In a world rich with Mysterious Seals, was there indeed such a Dharma Seal?

"Activating this seal takes a long time, and once used, it must be nurtured promptly, not to be used casually, and it doesn’t always succeed."

"Daoist Brother, time is running short, it’s best to keep up with the Spirit Fox!"

Seeing that Gu Yuan seemed to have more questions, Cen Qingqing hurriedly moved forward, catching up with the Spirit Fox.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan had to relent for now.

The Spirit Fox moved swiftly, lighting up countless runes, each gray light like a gray serpent coiling among the island’s rocks.

Gu Yuan and Cen Qingqing traveled within, as if in the belly of a gray serpent.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The Spirit Fox was nimble, like a flame elf leaping on the black island, adding a layer of Spiritual Nature to this dark world.

About halfway through an incense stick, the Spirit Fox stopped in front of a gigantic stone gate.

And countless gray runes ended here.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

The Spirit Fox lifted its chin slightly, as if indicating to Cen Qingqing that the destination lay ahead, then its entire body transformed into a blaze and vanished, leaving behind a crimson Dharma Seal.

This Dharma Seal was incredibly dim, seemingly unable to be absorbed into the body and falling directly to the ground.

Fortunately, Cen Qingqing was quick, using her Mana to sweep it up, directly reclaiming the Dharma Seal.
