To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

The Myriad Manifestations Eye quietly activated, and the array diagram shifted, transforming into a point of light that merged with an acupoint on the human body.

The next moment, Gu Fan canceled the Myriad Manifestations Eye and used his array cultivation to decipher the array diagram step by step.

He spent three years studying the Dao of Arrays without ever slacking off. Confident that he had grasped the principles of arrays, he wanted to test them. The Myriad Manifestations Dharma Eye provided him with ample confidence, allowing him to boldly attempt it.

"These array patterns subtly correspond to the Six Lines of the I Ching... The function of these array patterns is..."

With a renewed sense of confidence, Gu Fan felt no anxiety and focused his mind on deciphering the array.

Half an hour passed slowly, and Xuanji Zhenren's expression remained unchanged, but she quietly twirled a strand of her beard between two fingers.

Gu Fan circulated the "Great Luo Inner Landscape Heavenly Profound Chapter" six times, and the Creation Spiritual Essence had already traversed his meridians six times.

If he fails to activate the acupoints within nine cycles, the Creation Essence will turn into a deadly poison, dissolving his flesh and blood, leaving him unable to live or die.

The eldest disciple of Master Xuanji died because of this, and he could never forget the scene. He never wanted to see it again in his life.

Just then, Gu Fan revealed a smile.

With a thought, the constantly rotating array disappeared as if peeling away layers, leaving only a single point of light, its location exactly the same as what the Myriad Manifestations Eye had observed.

The next instant, the Creation Essence seemed to be drawn by an invisible suction force, suddenly accelerating and disappearing into this acupoint.

A loud "boom" resounded.

Gu Fan's mind was also drawn to the acupoint. Under the perception of his divine sense, the Creation Essence surged into the acupoint and expanded wildly, like expanding territory and constantly increasing the space of the acupoint.

As the Creation Essence invaded, a wisp of black energy was expelled.

Gu Fan then realized that even after undergoing two rounds of cleansing and purification, there was still some deeply rooted turbidity in his body.

After the turbid air was expelled, the essence of creation finally settled down and slowly dissolved in the acupoints.

In a short moment, the acupoints underwent a dramatic transformation compared to before.

Upon internal observation, the other acupoints appeared dark and dull, but the acupoints that had been enlightened emitted a dazzling glow, like a star floating in the sky.

After the magical power flowed through this place and filled the acupoint, it then traveled along the meridians again. After circulating for one cycle, Gu Fan noticed that the lake of magical power in his dantian had decreased slightly.

This discovery thrilled him.

His magical power was stored in his acupoints, and the lake of magical power in his dantian only needed to be replenished by refining spiritual energy, but his total magical power had permanently increased by a little.

"If all twelve acupoints are activated, the total amount of magical power will increase by 20%!"

Gu Fan opened his eyes with delight, only to meet Xuanji Zhenren's expectant gaze.

"Master, I have successfully opened your acupoints."

"Very good, very good, your teachings have not been in vain!"

Master Xuanji laughed heartily, and Zhou Furui and Fang Linghe also breathed a sigh of relief.

After a short while, Master Xuanji gave some words of encouragement, and the three disciples got up and left.

Every moment that Xuanji Zhenren awakens consumes her lifespan. Only by sealing herself within the formation can she slow down the loss of her lifespan and prolong her life.

Gu Fan intended to reduce the frequency of his preaching, but was refuted by Master Xuanji with a stern face:

"I'm not dead yet! If you truly wish to repay me, you should diligently study the Dao of Arrays and achieve Core Formation as soon as possible!"

Gu Fan had no choice but to thank his mentor.

The three walked out of Chenxing Pavilion. After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Furui advised, "Master's lifespan is only sixty years left. Even if sealing him in the formation can prolong his life by a hundred years, Junior Brother should indeed hurry up with his cultivation."

Fang Linghe continued, "Otherwise... who knows which Golden Core elder will fall into the hands of Wendao Peak at that time."

Gu Fan narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment before understanding.

The head of Wendao Peak holds the reincarnation of the secret techniques and cultivation methods, making him an absolute figure of great power and influence within the Lingxiao Sect. Even ordinary Golden Core cultivators cannot occupy this position.

After Xuanji Zhenren achieved the Golden Core stage, he was virtually unrivaled among his peers in the three sects of Wei, which is why he succeeded the previous leader after the latter passed away.

If Master Xuanji were to pass away, the three of them would not have a difficult time in the sect, but they would not be able to live as freely as they do now.

At least the privilege of freely browsing the sect's cultivation techniques and secret arts is hereby revoked.

Thinking of this, Gu Fan nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I understand!"

Gu Fan naturally wanted to form his core as soon as possible, but the "Great Luo Inner Landscape Heaven-Reaching Profound Chapter" was not a technique that could be mastered overnight. Each time he activated an acupoint, he needed sufficient magical power to support him in order to circulate the technique.

Thanks to the accumulation of superior cultivation techniques during his Qi cultivation and the gains from contemplating the "Red Sun Demon-Slaying Scripture" over the past three years, Gu Fan successfully opened his second acupoint a year later.

In the early stages of Foundation Establishment, four acupoints can be activated. Zhou Furui spent thirty years cultivating to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and activated the fifth acupoint. In comparison, Gu Fan's cultivation speed can be described as extremely fast.

......

Phoenix Perch Island, Green Stone Palace.

Gu Fan was contemplating the Crimson Sun Heavenly Sword when he suddenly sensed some movement outside the cave.

Upon exiting the Blue Stone Palace, a sound transmission talisman was seen floating in the maze.

Infusing a trace of magic power, the sound transmission talisman ignited, and at the same time, a voice rang in my ears.

Gu Fan listened silently, frowned, nodded slightly, and muttered to himself, "A sect summons? It's reasonable for the sect to issue a summons after four years of Foundation Establishment."

After saying that, Gu Fan piloted the Sky-Breaking Shuttle and flew towards the Service Hall.

......

The Lingxiao Sect has more than 300 inner disciples.

After a disciple successfully establishes their foundation, their sect stipend, cultivation cave, and even their status within the sect all increase significantly.

Rights and responsibilities are intertwined. If a Qi Refining disciple cannot solve a problem, and it is not too urgent, the sect will post it as a mission for an inner disciple to take on. However, if it is urgent, the sect will issue a summons.

For example, when a plague broke out in Gu Fan's hometown of Lin'an, it was Xu Changsheng who was summoned to handle it.

There are two types of conscription: silver orders and gold orders.

If a disciple receives a silver summons, and is unable to leave immediately, the sect will not force them too much. However, they must complete an equivalent sect task afterward, and they cannot refuse a summons more than three times within ten years.

Silver token summons are usually not very dangerous, and the Lingxiao Sect has always been generous to disciples who respond to the summons. Therefore, it is also regarded by many inner disciples as a good opportunity to earn merit.

The Golden Order summons is different. Once issued, it signifies the importance of the matter, and the summoned disciple cannot refuse. If they fail to respond, they will be held accountable by the sect afterward.

On the second floor of the Duty Hall, Chen Yunfan's face was grave.

Upon seeing Gu Fan, he managed a smile and greeted him, "Junior Brother Gu is here."

After bowing in greeting, Gu Fan didn't mince words and asked directly, "I just received the message and rushed here immediately. May I ask what rank this summons is for?"

Chen Yunfan's smile faded, and he said in a deep voice, "It is the Golden Token."

Gu Fan's expression darkened upon hearing this.

Some Foundation Establishment cultivators might not encounter a Golden Token more than a few times in their entire lives, but I encountered one after only four years of Foundation Establishment.

Chen Yunfan explained, "This time, it wasn't just my junior brother; almost all the Foundation Establishment disciples in the sect were summoned."

Gu Fan frowned and pondered for a moment before asking, "Is the sect going to exterminate the demonic beasts?"

The six kingdoms have signed an alliance, and they will never go to war unless it is a matter of life and death. Considering what happened at the Three Sects Dharma Assembly, the only thing that could make the Lingxiao Sect go to such lengths is a demon beast.

Chen Yunfan nodded with a wry smile: "Junior brother has a keen eye. This mission is precisely to exterminate the demonic beasts."
