To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

The white jade ring bears a striking resemblance to the jade ring of a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect.

The only difference is that it is engraved with cloud patterns, and when placed under light, the phantom image of a fairy peak will appear in the round hole.

While practicing Qi cultivation, Gu Fan found the remains of Xia Lingfeng, Hou Ying's ancestor, in an underwater cave and obtained this jade ring from his storage bag.

According to Xia Lingfeng, the Chen royal family coveted this jade ring, which is why they wiped out the Xia family. However, Gu Fan did not notice anything special about it after obtaining it, so it was left to gather dust in his storage bag.

"In that case, the wonders of this treasure must lie within the Luofu Immortal Sect."

Gu Fan stared at the jade ring and muttered to himself. Although he didn't know the purpose of the jade ring, a sense of anticipation welled up in his heart.

Before we knew it, March had flown by.

Inside the Qing Shi Palace, Gu Fan put the newly crafted magical artifacts into his storage bag one by one.

He crafted the scales of the purple dragon into a soft armor, which he wore beneath his robe.

In addition, there is a jet-black tortoise-shell shield, a pair of black cloud-walking boots, and a pair of bone-spiked flying swords, all of which he forged from the essence of second-tier demonic beasts he had captured over three years.

Spiritual talismans are naturally indispensable, and thanks to Long Ying, the reserves of medicinal pills are also very abundant.

Just as Gu Fan finished tidying up, a palm-sized gray rat emerged from some corner. Its fur was shiny and glossy, and its body was almost round like a ball. It tilted its head back and squeaked incoherently.

"What, you want to go too?" Gu Fan laughed.

After thinking it over, he realized that the gray rat would indeed be useful on this trip, so he picked him up and put him in his pocket.

He snatched the gray rat from the disciples of the Hualing Sect. When the Three Sects Dharma Assembly encountered a dramatic change, the rat followed him to the Lingxiao Sect.

As for its origin, Gu Fan had inquired with the disciples of the sect. It was a kind of demonic beast called "Wind Breath Rat". Its talent was that it could smell scents that many cultivators could not detect. It was mostly used to help cultivators find spiritual herbs. Unfortunately, its bloodline aptitude was very low. It took ten years to reach the middle stage of the first rank. It was almost impossible for it to break through to the second rank in this lifetime.

Fortunately, the Wind Breath Rat is very easy to raise. One Spirit Beast Pill is enough to feed it for a month. When Gu Fan was at Lingxi Peak, he let it roam freely in the courtyard. Later, it came with him to Phoenix Perch Island. When it ran out of Spirit Beast Pills, it would come to find Gu Fan. If Gu Fan was busy, it would not bother him even if it was hungry, which made it very easy to take care of.

......

Since March, the phantom of the Luofu Immortal Sect has appeared frequently, gradually shortening from once every ten days to once every two days, indicating that its arrival is imminent.

The Lingxiao Sect also made various arrangements.

Apart from alchemists like Long Ying, who are not good at combat but are extremely valuable, and Zhou Furui, who needs to protect the sect's important grounds, almost all Foundation Establishment cultivators were mobilized.

Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators are unable to enter the Luofu Secret Realm. Instead, they are led by seven true disciples, either stationed on islands along the coast of the Cloud Mist Sea to attack and kill demonic beasts, or stationed on the border near the Wu Kingdom to prevent demonic cultivators from taking the opportunity to enter.

A few Golden Core cultivators stayed behind to guard the sect, while the rest of the Golden Core elders and the cultivators summoned to the Luofu Secret Realm boarded the Cloud Dream Boat under the leadership of Sect Master Qi Zongyuan.

Gu Fan's experience on the Cloud Dream Boat for the second time was quite different from the first.

The first time was filled with novelty and awe, the second time with the solemnity of an impending great battle.

No one was laughing or joking on the deck. Instead, people gathered in twos and threes to discuss how to proceed after entering the secret realm, even though most of these discussions were in vain.

The Luofu Immortal Sect is hidden in the void. Even in the present world, the surrounding space is extremely chaotic. Once inside, no one knows where they will end up. Even if they enter together, they may not end up in the same place.

Fortunately, after several explorations, the Lingxiao Sect also discovered several locations within the Immortal Sect.

The Palace of Ten Thousand Laws was the first to be affected.

As its name suggests, Wanfa Palace is where the Luofu Immortal Sect stores its secret techniques and cultivation methods. It was also the first place discovered by the Lingxiao Sect, and the first person to enter it was Ancestor Yunxiao.

The Palace of Ten Thousand Laws contains many stone chambers, where jade slips containing cultivation techniques and secret arts are kept.

Although they have been searched many times, there are always some hidden corners, either protected by restrictions or deeply hidden, which have never been cracked, making them the preferred places for everyone.

Next is the Dragon Tiger Pavilion.

As the alchemy center of the Luofu Immortal Sect, many rare pills have been found there. Foundation Establishment Pills are just ordinary items, but Pill Nourishing Pills, which help with Core Formation, and even Nascent Soul Pills have appeared there.

However, due to the passage of time, most of the medicinal properties of the elixirs have been lost, making them highly dependent on luck.

In addition, there are the Treasure Herb Garden where spiritual herbs are cultivated and the Crimson Flame Peak where weapons are refined, both of which are key areas of focus.

Gu Fan was pondering which location to choose when he heard Meng Wei's voice.

"Junior brother, over here!"

Gu Fan turned his head and saw Meng Wei and Chen Suzhen standing together, waving at him.

Upon seeing familiar faces, Gu Fan's pre-battle tension dissipated considerably, and he suddenly understood why so many people had gathered together.

Half an hour later, everyone seemed to have arrived, and the Yunmeng Boat roared to life, flying towards the sea of ​​clouds.

......

"Look!"

Halfway through the journey, someone on the deck pointed into the distance and shouted loudly.

Gu Fan looked up and saw two dark shadows getting closer and closer, but the Golden Core cultivators on the Cloud Dream Boat did not give any orders, and no one made any rash moves.

It wasn't until the shadows drew closer that Gu Fan recognized them as cultivators from the Hundred Refinements Sect and the Spirit Transformation Sect.

The other two sects would naturally not miss such a great opportunity as that of the Luofu Immortal Sect.

However, compared to the Lingxiao Sect's formidable presence, the Hundred Refinements Sect and the Transformation Spirit Sect had far fewer members.

The cultivators of the Hundred Refinements Sect rode in several black magic boats, each over ten feet long. The boats had a rather ancient design but were very imposing, though they resembled sampans in front of the Cloud Dream Boat.

The cultivators from the Spirit Transformation Sect were supported by several Dharma images, including a golden-winged roc, a white-feathered crane, and even a rugged demonic ape.

As they approached, a Golden Core elder from the Lingxiao Sect came forward and invited the two sects to board the Yunmeng Ship. Only then did Gu Fan realize why the two sects had so few members.

"Oh dear, most of our manpower was left to suppress the demonic beasts of the Desolate Mountain, so only we came." Cai Xuan of the Spirit Transformation Sect explained to Gu Fan with a light laugh while holding the lynx in her arms.

Wu Chengdao crossed his arms and said coldly, "The Hundred Refinements Sect also needs to be wary of the demonic cultivators from the Yan Kingdom."

Several years have passed since they last met, and both of them have successfully established their foundations. Wu Chengdao, in particular, possesses a heavenly spiritual root and his cultivation is not far from the mid-stage of foundation establishment.

The only person the two knew in the Lingxiao Sect was Gu Fan, so they got together.

Gu Fan nodded, realizing that the Lingxiao Sect also needed to guard against the Wu Kingdom's demonic path.

This is where the Lingxiao Sect's advantage comes into play. Although its total number of disciples is less than that of the two sects, it leads by a significant margin in the number of high-level cultivators.

......

The Yunmeng Boat sailed on the sea of ​​clouds and mist for three days, and the phantom of the Luofu Immortal Sect reappeared.

Strangely, no matter how far away or from which the angle changes, the majestic mountain peak remains unchanged in size and appearance, always floating in the clouds, surrounded by a hazy light and shadow, as if isolated from the world.

Suddenly, a dragon's roar came from afar, and the Yunmeng Boat came to an abrupt halt.

A blood-red cloud rose from the heavens, and a ferocious dragon head emerged from it.

A shadow appeared beneath the sea, and an island emerged from it. When the ghostly hand with dragon horns hummed, everyone realized that it was clearly a dragon turtle a hundred feet long!

Accompanied by the sharp cry of an eagle, the Eagle King, clad in golden armor, spread his wings and stood in mid-air, holding a golden spear.

At the same time, dozens of third-tier demonic beasts arrived from afar and spread out on the sea.

"The Luofu Secret Realm, I, too, will have a share!" the Blood Dragon King roared, raising his head.

The transformed demon king's aura spread out, making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

"Hmph, I will kill you today!"

At that moment, a melodious sword cry rang out, and by the time everyone heard the cry, the sword light had already struck the blood cloud.

A large hole suddenly appeared in the blood-red cloud, and sunlight shone through the hole onto a cold-faced swordsman in a blue robe.

The swordsman in the green robe had a flickering sword light dancing at his fingertips, and his eyes were filled with a cold glint as he looked down at the three transformed demon kings. Just his presence alone was enough to make people's eyes sting and dare not look directly at him.

The Blood Dragon King roared furiously, "Sword Lord Guiyun, do you think you can kill me all by yourself?"

"What if I were added to the list?"

An aged yet heroic voice rang out, and an old man appeared before the Cloud Dream Boat, shielding everyone from the Demon King's oppressive aura.

The old man had white hair and beard and was dressed in coarse linen clothes. Strangely, he only had one right hand and one left leg; his other hand and leg were nowhere to be seen.

"Half-Old Monster, you've come too?" The Blood Dragon King's voice suddenly turned gloomy.

"And me!"

The next instant, a white divine deer appeared, riding on auspicious clouds, which forced the blood clouds back.

The three transformed demon kings and the three Nascent Soul cultivators faced off, and a great battle seemed imminent.

Suddenly, the sound of chanting came from afar, and a golden, colorful lotus platform floated in from the other side of the sea of ​​clouds.

"Haha, the bald monk from Chen Kingdom has arrived too!" King Tianying laughed, pointing at the seven-colored lotus.

The lotus platform resembled a Dharma boat, from which flew a round-faced, large-eared monk. He clasped his hands together and bowed, and his first words caused the three Nascent Soul cultivators from Wei to frown.

"Esteemed benefactors, the Luofu Secret Realm is connected to my Jianglong Temple."
