To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

The complexity of the Yuan Chen Formation is considered the limit of a first-order formation.

Gu Fan had already personally experienced its effects; a moment could be extended to several hours under the effect of the formation.

As the person in charge of the formation, the Yuan Chen Formation cannot be effective against Gu Fan if he so chooses.

"Once we get our hands on the Illusion Lotus, we'll have plenty of strength and means to deal with a frog."

After the formation was activated, a layer of mist spread over the pond. Thanks to the small size of the pond, the Yuan Chen Formation was able to cover it.

Lightness Charm! Swiftness Charm!

After attaching two talismans to increase his escape speed, Gu Fan also attached a golden armor talisman to prevent any accidents. He took a deep breath and used his escape technique to rush towards the Illusionary Heart Lotus!

The Illusion Lotus grows in the center of the pond, only five or six zhang away from the shore, which can be reached in an instant.

The brief instant stretched out in the mind's perception.

The wind howled in his ears, the pale mist was swirled by the air currents, and the flames beneath his feet propelled Gu Fan forward. A lotus leaf trembled slightly, as if a lurking monster was peeking out.

Everything was reflected in his consciousness, but he only saw the pair of blooming seven-colored lotuses.

Grasping the straight stem of the Illusion Lotus, he snapped it in two with a slight effort. Holding the seven-colored lotus, the size of a washbasin, Gu Fan transformed into a streak of red light and rushed straight to the opposite bank.

As his figure swept across the center of the pond, a sharp, sword-like tongue pierced through the afterimage he left behind.

With his momentum still intact, he plunged into the jungle, dodging several water arrows. Ignoring the frog monsters' furious croaking, Gu Fan hid behind a tree, revealing a hearty smile.

Before he could even remove the lotus seeds, he stuffed the Illusion Lotus into his storage bag, his Yin-Yang Wheels swirling around him, and a stack of Heavenly Thunder Talismans already in his hand.

With a slight movement of his divine sense, the swirling mist slowly dissipated.

Gu Fan slowly returned to the pond, a sinister smile on his face, his eyes fixed on the frog-like monster that had half its head sticking out.

"Now it's my turn!"

The next instant, a torrent of thunderbolts poured forth.

Even if you lie in wait, it won't help; the lightning will still pierce through the water.

As the paralysis struck, the frog-like monster suddenly leaped out of the water and launched itself towards Gu Fan. Her tongue transformed into a deadly blade, piercing straight into Gu Fan's chest.

But Gu Fan was prepared.

A jet-black tortoise shell floated in front of him, and with a flash of eerie light, it guided his tongue to the side.

At the same time, the Sun Wheel and the Earth Flame Wheel attacked simultaneously, slashing towards the frog-like monster.

The frog-like monster, paralyzed and suspended in mid-air, was unable to dodge and was slashed across its dark yellow belly by the Sun Wheel, which tore it apart in an instant.

The frog-like monster fell back into the pond helplessly, instinctively diving underwater, but Gu Fan threw out another Heavenly Thunder Talisman.

The Heavenly Thunder Talisman was not aimed at the demon beast, but instead struck the water surface not far from it.

The powerful lightning strike severed the frog monster's last vestige of life, leaving the pond in a state of utter devastation.

A moment later, Gu Fan retrieved the millstone-sized frog-like monster and collected its corpse.

"This monster managed to evade my divine sense search. Its hide is extraordinary; it cannot be wasted."

"The Heavenly Thunder Talisman is too noisy and might attract enemies. Let's wait until we leave the Luofu Secret Realm."

Thinking this, Gu Fan quickly put away the array flags, concealed his figure, and fled.

......

Gu Fan ran wildly for a while, and after leaving the jungle, he arrived at the foot of a barren mountain.

After searching the desolate mountains for a while, they found a spacious cave. They set up a protective array to hide the entrance before taking stock of their spoils.

Gu Fan tore off the frog-like monster's hide, then burned the remaining flesh and blood to ashes.

"This beast is truly peculiar. It seems to be influenced by the Illusion Lotus, and even divine sense cannot penetrate its hide. Making a cloak from it would certainly be an excellent concealment artifact."

Unfortunately, there was no time to forge the weapon for him, so I had to process the animal hide and grass, preserve it properly, and put it into my storage bag.

Then, with anticipation in his eyes, Gu Fan took out the Illusion Lotus.

"Thirteen lotus seeds...that's wonderful!"

After pondering for a moment, Gu Fan only took out one lotus seed.

"Although refining pills from lotus seeds can enhance their effects by three times, we can't worry about that now."

With a slightly regretful sigh, Gu Fan swallowed the lotus seed in one gulp.

The lotus seeds are very crisp, and after chewing them a few times, they are very sweet. Then they turn into juice and flow into the lungs. The next moment, a cloud of light rushes into the mind.

A buzzing sound rang in his ears, and Gu Fan immediately lost consciousness.

......

In the luxurious room, red candles burned quietly.

Before the bed stood a woman in a red veil, dressed in a wedding gown. Her figure was slender and graceful. She clutched a silk handkerchief in her hands, and her slender, white fingers trembled slightly, revealing her inner nervousness.

Gu Fan looked around with interest until a soft, tender voice called out.

"My lord, why aren't you lifting the veil? How long do you intend to keep me waiting?"

"Sorry, I never imagined I'd be able to experience the joy of our wedding night. I'm a little lost in thought."

Gu Fan casually picked up the scale from the table, gently lifted the veil, revealing an absolutely beautiful face.

The face seemed somewhat familiar to him, like Lin Qian'er, Liu Qin, Cai Xuan, and so on... Gu Fan couldn't quite place who it was; it was as if the shadows of all the beauties he had seen in his past and present lives had been incorporated into it.

But he had to admit that those eyes made his heart skip a beat.

"What do you mean, 'never expected' our wedding night? Could it be that marrying me has made you regret it?"

The woman glanced at Gu Fan, her lips slightly pouting, making her look even more playful and cute.

Gu Fan smiled and shook his head: "No, it's just...it feels a bit strange."

"Oh? What do you find strange about me, my husband?"

The woman seemed intrigued and boldly pulled Gu Fan to sit down, leaning on his shoulder and asking him in a low voice.

A captivating fragrance wafted through the air. Looking at the beauty so close to him, Gu Fan smiled and said, "I thought the Illusion Lotus would be more potent, but if it's only this... it's rather disappointing."

The woman looked immediately taken aback: "What are you saying, husband?"

Gu Fan shook his head, stood up, pushed open the door, and stepped out. What came into view was a luxurious mansion, with a bright moon shining over thousands of miles, and silvery moonlight pouring down like flowing water.

Gazing at the bright moon in the distance, my heart stirred slightly.

The woman's sweet voice called out, and the lavishly furnished mansion shattered like glass.

Only the bright moon in the sky quietly shone, for it was Gu Fan's divine consciousness.

An invisible wave surged into his consciousness like a tide, and a feeling of abundance arose spontaneously.

Gu Fan focused his mind and activated the "Star Evolution Divine Observation Method." Twenty-four stars suddenly appeared, forming three and a half star charts. Under the influence of the Illusion Lotus, the star charts spun violently.

The star map was like a millstone, grinding his consciousness and flesh to dust.

But in the next instant, the surging power repaired the shattered divine consciousness and naturally merged into it.

Gu Fan's forehead veins bulged, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned pale, and he visualized one star after another in his sea of ​​consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, the main character's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly trembled.

As if the incompleteness had been repaired and made whole, the twenty-eight stars formed four star charts, each occupying a corner, shining brightly in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The Star Derivation Divine Method has finally broken through to the fourth level!

An unprecedented feeling of comfort spread from his head to his limbs, causing Gu Fan to groan involuntarily. He collapsed to the ground, not even wanting to move a finger.

"This is... the exhilarating feeling of extreme pain?"
