I have changed my destiny and become an unparalleled immortal.
Chapter 90 Another Encounter with a Sect
So fierce!
In order to gain more lifespan, Qianyan unleashed a terrifyingly powerful fighting force that was far beyond her usual abilities!
"Anything else? All you sea monsters, come out here!"
Mo Qianyan carried the Snow Jade Sword.
Dressed in white, his clothes fluttered in the sea breeze, and his cold eyes were fixed on the direction of the deep sea, as if he had taken the initiative to provoke them.
However, a bizarre scene unfolded.
The sea monster horde, which had been fearless and seemed poised to crush Yunxian City, suddenly stopped abruptly after witnessing the three fourth-tier demon kings being instantly cut in half and frozen in place.
Although sirens are ferocious, those at the third rank and above all develop intelligence.
Looking at the white-clad female cultivator standing on the ice, exuding a murderous aura even more terrifying than that of a great demon.
Those old monsters in the sea are scared!
This isn't some kind of human cultivator defending the city!
This is clearly a god of death descended to earth!
"Gurgle..."
Deep beneath the sea, several mid-stage fourth-tier demons, their auras concealed, exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with fear.
run!
It's unclear who started it, but the originally overwhelming beast tide...
Just like the receding tide, it turned around and swam wildly into the depths of the endless sea!
Even the low-level sea monsters, who lacked common sense, were infected by the fear of the high-level sea monsters and wished they could grow two more tails to escape.
"They've retreated! The beast tide has receded!"
On the city walls of Yunxian City, countless cultivators collapsed to the ground, overwhelmed with relief and cheering in disbelief.
However, the Nascent Soul City Lord on the city wall had a twitching face, pointed at the sea, and his voice was trembling:
"No...it didn't retreat...it was that fairy, she...she went after them!"
All that could be seen on the sea was...
Mo Qianyan panicked when she saw that those walking life-sustaining bags were actually trying to run away!
"You fiend, don't run away! Leave your life behind!"
Mo Qianyan let out a delicate shout, but did not sheathe her sword.
Instead, she stepped on an ice lotus and transformed into a white streak of light.
It plunged straight into the vast deep sea.
They chased after the hundreds of thousands of beasts, hacking and slashing their way through them.
"A River of Sword Qi".
"Bang bang bang!"
Ice flowers splashed everywhere on the sea surface, and slow-moving sirens were turned into ice sculptures in large numbers.
Gu Yun stared in disbelief, his forehead covered in black lines.
"My goodness... Other people defend a city by just driving away the monsters, but you're going to fight your way to their lair and raid it?"
Seeing that Mo Qianyan was getting further and further away.
They're almost out of the near-shore waters of Yunxian City.
Gu Yun quickly stomped his foot, unleashing the terrifying speed of his Great Wilderness Body, and hurriedly chased after it.
"Wife, don't pursue a defeated enemy too far. There are old monsters in the deep sea, be careful."
As Gu Yun ran, she pulled array flags out of her storage ring like a nanny.
He chased after Mo Qianyan the whole way.
They threw fog formations and defensive arrays onto the sea like they were throwing money at it, afraid that their crazy wife, who had gone mad with passion, would be tricked by the deep-sea currents.
On the city wall, the city lord of Yunxian City and the patriarchs of the three great families looked at each other, their backs soaked with cold sweat.
The current head of the Hua family, who was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, had his legs go weak and knelt on the ground. Looking at the two world-destroying figures in the distance, his lips trembled.
"Thank God... I'm so grateful that I personally went to their door to apologize a few days ago... The doctor staying at Qianyun Medical Clinic is not some miracle doctor at all..."
"This guy is a living ancestor!"
In the depths of the endless sea, the wind howls and the waves surge.
"Don't run! Take another strike from me, you octopus, you stop right there!"
Mo Qianyan, dressed in white, rustled in the storm.
Her stunningly beautiful face was filled with murderous intent, and the snow jade sword in her hand emitted a terrifying, icy sword light.
However, the dark, swarming beasts ahead no longer possessed any of the ferocity they had shown during the siege.
They were like ghosts, desperately trying to dive into the deep sea trench.
The octopus that Mo Qianyan specifically named.
It was so frightened that it spat out more than a dozen mouthfuls of ink, and its eight tentacles swung around like wheels of fire.
Without looking back, it plunged into the deep sea abyss.
"Qianyan, wife, stop! Stop chasing us!"
Gu Yun caught up from behind, panting, grabbed Mo Qianyan's slender waist, and forcefully pulled her back.
"The abyss is the lair of an old monster; know when to quit while you're ahead!"
Mo Qianyan was held in Gu Yun's arms.
The sword light on the Snow Jade Sword slowly and reluctantly faded away.
Her cold eyes stared at the bottomless, dark sea, and she stamped her foot lightly in frustration.
"Those cowards, they're quick on their feet!"
Mo Qianyan bit her red lips and muttered with heartache.
"If we had killed that octopus just now, we would have been so close. What a pity about that octopus..."
Seeing his wife like this, Gu Yun couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He pinched Mo Qianyan's smooth cheek and said affectionately.
"Alright, my esteemed Sword Master!"
Gu Yun closed his eyes, his consciousness sank into his Purple Mansion, and opened the Book of Destiny, which was flashing with dazzling golden light.
Lines of dark gold text flowed through his mind:
[Subject: Gu Yun]
[Current Realm: Early Foundation Establishment Stage]
[Cumulative lifespan increase from killing and plundering: 1,150 years]
[The subject's current total lifespan: 2,380 years!]
Looking down, the newly opened sidebar was even more dazzling:
[Subsidiary column owner: Mo Qianyan]
Current Realm: Early Nascent Soul Stage
[Original Lifespan: 2,800 years]
[Cumulative lifespan increase from killing and plundering: 1,150 years (divided into 50%)]
[Subject's current total lifespan: 3,950 years!]
In this massive battle to defend against the beast tide, Mo Qianyan practically became a ruthless lifespan harvester.
"call……"
Mo Qianyan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
She could feel the life force within her body that was originally fixed due to her early Nascent Soul stage.
At this moment, it was as if the parched earth had encountered a torrential rain, and was infused with a massive amount of vitality.
They have a much longer lifespan.
This means that her lifespan is likely longer than that of those Nascent Soul stage monsters!
"No wonder those demonic cultivators love killing and looting..."
Mo Qianyan opened her eyes, a hint of intoxication flashing in her cold eyes.
"The thrill of this sudden increase in lifespan is indeed much more addictive than seclusion and asceticism."
"Hmph, they're lucky."
Mo Qianyan put away the Snow Jade Sword.
She reached out and took Gu Yun's arm, reverting to her aloof and ethereal fairy-like demeanor.
"Let's go back to the city. I smell like monsters, it's awful."
The couple transformed into two streaks of light and slowly flew back to Cloud Immortal City.
……
At this moment, Yunxian City was in complete chaos.
However, the Nascent Soul cultivator who was the city lord had no time to celebrate at this moment.
He hid in the deepest secret room of the city lord's mansion, holding a top-level communication jade slip in his hand, reporting while sweating profusely.
Although Yunxian City is located on a remote coastline, its true backer is the renowned first-class sect of the Central Plains Dao Domain, the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect!
How large is the Central Plains Dao Domain?
There are countless sects, and Nascent Soul cultivators are everywhere.
As a first-class sect, the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect has an unfathomable foundation. It has numerous factions, including sword cultivators, magic cultivators, and formation masters.
"...Reporting to the higher sects. Today, Yunxian City was suddenly hit by a massive beast tide, including a mid-stage fourth-tier Overturning Sea Whale!"
The city lord swallowed hard, his voice trembling as he reported.
"But a reclusive couple suddenly appeared in the city. The female cultivator was named Mo Qianyan, with a cultivation level of the early Nascent Soul stage, but her swordsmanship was terrifying. Her sword intent was filled with extreme cold. Alone with her sword, she killed several fourth-tier demon kings and repelled the beast tide!"
"As for her Daoist partner Gu Yun, he only appears to be at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but he can actually create arrays with a wave of his hand, and most of his actions are very indistinct. He must be using some kind of concealment array."
"Such a powerful wild Nascent Soul sword cultivator is truly rare. If we could recruit him into the sect to bolster our outer sect strength, it would be a tremendous asset. I humbly request the sect to make a decision!"
The jade slip emitted a burst of light, instantly transmitting the secret message.
……
three days later.
Qianyun Medical Clinic reopened, but no one dared to breathe loudly in front of it anymore.
All the monks in line wished they could walk on tiptoe, afraid of disturbing the two living ancestors inside.
Gu Yun was lying on the rocking chair with his eyes half-closed, pondering whether he should use his lifespan to deduce the fourth-order formation again.
"Buzz!"
A huge surge of spiritual energy suddenly emanated from the sky above Yunxian City.
A massive spirit boat, entirely made of white jade and engraved with countless magical seals, broke through the clouds and slowly came to a stop above the Thousand Clouds Medical Hall.
On the spirit boat, a golden banner bearing the words "Wanfa" (meaning "All Laws") fluttered in the wind.
An aura of power belonging to a major sect in the Central Plains made all the cultivators in Yunxian City want to kneel down.
"The Myriad Laws Immortal Sect? Why has the envoy from the upper sect suddenly arrived!"
The city was immediately thrown into an uproar.
The next moment, two figures floated down from the spirit boat and landed directly outside the Qianyun Medical Hall.
The leader, with white hair and a youthful face, wore a star-patterned Taoist robe and exuded an unfathomable aura of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
He was none other than the External Affairs Elder of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect, True Man Xinghe.
As soon as Xinghe Zhenren landed, he straightened his clothes, bowed slightly towards the clinic, and said loudly.
"The Myriad Laws Immortal Sect, Star River, has come to pay a special visit to Fairy Mo and Young Friend Gu!"
Inside the clinic.
Gu Yun raised an eyebrow, put down her teacup, and exchanged a glance with Mo Qianyan, who came out from the inner room.
"The Myriad Laws Immortal Sect? That name sounds much more impressive than Blood Fiend Valley. It seems we got a little carried away with the fighting the other day and attracted the real dragon behind the local bully."
Gu Yun stroked his chin and smiled.
Mo Qianyan remained calm as she pushed open the door and said indifferently, "Please come in."
As Xinghe Zhenren stepped into the clinic, his eyes immediately fell on Mo Qianyan.
Sensing Mo Qianyan's restrained yet chilling Supreme Forgetfulness Sword Intent, a hint of admiration flashed in the eyes of this mid-Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Lord Yunxian is right. This pure ice sword intent has a very solid foundation. If we can bring it into our sect, it will definitely become a pillar of our Myriad Laws Immortal Sect in a few days!"
Master Xinghe was now certain that such a genius had to be won over!
He immediately put on a particularly sincere smile and got straight to the point.
"Fairy Mo, I am here today on behalf of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect. Your unparalleled prowess during the beast tide has already reached our sect. The Central Plains Dao Domain is vast and boundless, and cultivation is not easy for independent cultivators. Our Myriad Laws Immortal Sect wishes to invite you to serve as an outer sect elder, so that you may be able to take on higher positions after you become familiar with the place."
Upon hearing this, Master Xinghe's face was filled with absolute confidence.
In his view, it was already an immense blessing for a rogue cultivator with no background to rise to the top and become an outer sect elder of a first-class sect like the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect.
It should be noted that this is a top-tier sect in the Central Plains Dao Domain.
The inner sect elders and peak masters must be at least at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, or even half a step into the Divine Transformation realm!
It's perfectly reasonable for someone in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm to temporarily serve as an outer sect elder, managing outer sect affairs. This will give them a chance to be promoted in the future.
Mo Qianyan listened, but her beautiful face remained completely expressionless.
He even picked up his teacup and took a small sip, seemingly uninterested in this windfall.
"The Myriad Laws Immortal Sect is indeed a major sect."
Mo Qianyan's cold voice rang out, carrying a lazy tone.
"But running a clinic in Yunxian City is quite a leisurely life. Joining a major sect involves many rules and seniority, which doesn't necessarily make life more comfortable."
Seeing this, Master Xinghe was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled mysteriously and threw out his real trump card.
"Please don't refuse, fairy. I know that sword cultivators are warlike, and as an outer sect elder of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect, I have a special privilege."
Master Xinghe lowered his voice slightly.
"Our sect oversees the two largest trial death zones in the southern part of the Central Plains: the Deep Sea Demon Cave and the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons. Countless sea monsters and ancient remnants inhabit these places, specifically for the sect elders and disciples to practice on. If you, Fairy, become an outer sect elder, you'll have plenty of opportunities to enter every year and hunt down the trial monsters at will!"
"A demonic cave in the deep sea? An abyss of ten thousand demons?"
Mo Qianyan, who had been expressionless the whole time, suddenly changed; the hand holding the teacup tightened abruptly.
Countless high-level demons?
Specifically for hunting?
How could this be a sacred place for practicing swordsmanship?
In Mo Qianyan's eyes, who had tasted the sweetness of this, it was as if the Wanfa Immortal Sect had contracted out a vast field of immortality and longevity for her.
A few days ago outside Yunxian City, those monsters ran so fast that she hadn't had enough.
Now the Wanfa Immortal Sect is actually taking the initiative to package up demonic beasts and deliver them to her?
Would I be human if I didn't agree?
"cough!"
Mo Qianyan suppressed the wildly upturned corners of her mouth, trying her best to maintain the aloof persona of the Ice and Snow Sword Master. She put down her teacup, and although her tone was calm, her speaking speed was obviously faster.
"Elder Xinghe's hospitality is too kind to refuse, and I appreciate the sincerity of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect. I can accept the position of outer sect elder."
Xinghe Zhenren was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"Fairy, you're so generous! Then let's..."
"but!"
Mo Qianyan abruptly changed the subject, her gaze suddenly falling on Gu Yun, who was sitting next to her with his legs crossed, pretending to admire the scenery.
She reached out her delicate white hand and grabbed Gu Yun's arm, her tone becoming resolute and leaving no room for negotiation.
"I have one condition. When I enter the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect, my Daoist partner, Gu Yun, must come with me and enter the sect together. Moreover, the sect must not treat him as a menial laborer. My wife and I will be together through life and death, never leaving each other's side!"
"If the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect cannot accept my husband, then I might as well give up this position as an outer sect elder."
Master Xinghe was taken aback, his brows furrowing imperceptibly before he finally looked at Gu Yun, who was being embraced by Mo Qianyan.
He scanned it with his divine sense.
"This...it really is only the spiritual energy fluctuation of the early Foundation Establishment stage..."
Xinghe Zhenren was having some doubts.
Although the city lord reported that this person's array formations were divine, in the eyes of the top sects in the Central Plains Dao Domain...
A Foundation Establishment stage array master without the support of massive magical power has a very low ceiling; at best, they can be considered a craftsman with some talent.
"It's a pity that a genius like Fairy Mo was dragged down by romantic love and ended up with such a burden."
Master Xinghe shook his head inwardly.
But in order to win over Mo Qianyan, this small request was naturally not a problem.
"Your kindness is admirable."
Master Xinghe nodded slightly and stroked his beard.
"However, sects have their own rules, and Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot become elders. But since young friend Gu is proficient in formations, I will take the liberty of letting him take a sinecure as a steward in the outer sect's Formation Hall."
"You only need to maintain some basic outer sect formations normally, without having to risk your life outside, and you can still enjoy the resources of inner sect disciples. What do you think, Fairy?"
Buying a Nascent Soul stage peerless sword cultivator and hiring a Foundation Establishment steward to do odd jobs in the outer sect—this deal is a sure win for the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect.
"make a deal!"
A sly smile flashed in Mo Qianyan's eyes, and she readily agreed.
Gu Yun sat in the armchair, looking at Xinghe Zhenren's businesslike expression, and was secretly overjoyed.
"Outer sect steward? Maintaining the basic formation?"
Gu Yun almost burst out laughing.
Isn't this just like the security guard who has a secure job in a major sect?
No need to clock in, no need to work hard, and you can legitimately sneak into a super sect like the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect, and incidentally get free access to their library's high-level cultivation manuals.
This is practically a dream job tailor-made for him.
Gu Yun immediately stood up and smiled.
He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Master Xinghe, speaking humbly.
"Thank you for your promotion, Elder Xinghe. My cultivation is low, but I will do anything as long as I can stay by your side. I will rely on your guidance in the outer sect's array hall in the future."
Master Xinghe looked at Gu Yun's spineless and self-satisfied manner as if he were just a mere accessory.
A barely perceptible hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, but he still smiled politely on the surface.
"Of course, of course! You're too kind, young friend Gu! In that case, please come aboard with me."
Watching Gu Yun's superb acting skills, Mo Qianyan suppressed her laughter and secretly pinched Gu Yun's waist.
"You're quite the actor."
Mo Qianyan transmitted her voice.
"You flatter me, madam."
Gu Yun replied telepathically with a serious expression.
"I call this hiding my true abilities. Once we go to the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect, you'll be an outer sect elder, and I'll be an outer sect steward. Working together as husband and wife will make the work much easier!"
……
Half an hour later.
The enormous white jade spirit boat soared into the air and flew towards the core area of the Central Plains Dao Domain.
On the deck, several inner disciples of the Wanfa Immortal Sect who had accompanied them gathered together.
They pointed and whispered at Gu Yun's retreating figure, making no attempt to hide the contempt in their eyes.
"What a waste! How could someone as celestial as Fairy Mo, a Nascent Soul stage expert, end up with such a pretty boy?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. He got his position as a steward in the outer sect's array hall by sponging off women. We work ourselves to the bone doing missions, and he's not even as good-looking as us!"
"Hmph, this is the Central Dao Domain. Once we get to the sect, let's see how those arrogant senior brothers in the Array Formation Hall deal with this Foundation Establishment waste who got in through connections!"
Listening to the sour whispers behind me.
Gu Yun was not angry at all. Instead, he leaned comfortably against the railing of the flying boat, picked up a cup of spiritual tea, and took a sip with relish.
"Go ahead and curse, curse all you young people don't know anything about happiness."
Gu Yun gazed at the rapidly receding sea of clouds outside the spirit boat, a slight smile curving his lips.
