To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Latest plot update: Click to follow.

Sea of ​​clouds and mist, Falling Star Island.

The palace, hidden in the jungle, was quiet. Hulu sat solemnly in front of the palace, his big eyes full of vigilance, scanning the surroundings from time to time, searching for any possible enemies who might break in.

In a corner of the palace, Chang Yuan, transformed into black smoke, gazed at Gu Fan with curious eyes.

"Tsk, this kid's talent in array formation is truly extraordinary, even in the Luofu Immortal Sect he would be top-tier. It's a pity he was born in this broken fragment of the world, otherwise, I don't know how many people would be vying to take him as a disciple."

Gu Fan was unaware of Chang Yuan's thoughts; he was completely focused on circulating the essence of creation to enlighten the next acupoint.

The "Heavenly Evolution and Exhaustive Observation Technique" was activated, and profound array diagrams unfolded in the sea of ​​consciousness, constantly changing as time went by.

As the number of acupoints enlightened increases, the array diagrams that need to be calculated in the "Heavenly Evolution and Exhaustive Observation Technique" become more complex. Even those with slightly weaker array cultivation will feel their scalp tingling when they see it, and those with poor comprehension will feel dizzy and overwhelmed after just one glance.

But Gu Fan remained calm, showing no sign of panic.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye, and Gu Fan appeared quite mysterious in the eyes of the hundreds of cultivators on the island.

He would adjust the formation at a fixed time every month, and the rest of the time, he would either take the increasingly robust and strange spirit beast to hunt in the sea or cultivate in his cave.

Therefore, the disciples on the island privately spread rumors that Master Gu was aloof and disliked being disturbed by strangers.

Gu Fan could only smile wryly upon hearing this rumor; he had indeed been exceptionally busy for the past five years.

The spiritual energy on Falling Star Island was ultimately inferior to that of the Lingxiao Sect. Fortunately, with the support of the Spirit Gathering Array and the aid of elixirs, Gu Fan finally managed to accumulate enough magical power within the five-year deadline to unlock the next acupoint.

In addition, with the help of the Myriad Manifestations Eye, he has thoroughly comprehended the essence of the array formation in the jade slip given to him by Master Xuanji.

All the efforts are reflected in this moment.

With a slight movement of his divine sense, Gu Fan peeled away the array diagram in his sea of ​​consciousness layer by layer until only the last core remained, which merged with an acupoint.

The next instant, the essence of creation flowing through the meridians surged into the acupoints.

A thunderous roar filled the air, as if the heavens and earth were being created. The turbid air in the acupoints was split open by the seven-colored radiance, and a powerful magical force followed, filling the acupoints completely.

After circulating his magical power through nine cycles, Gu Fan exhaled a breath of turbid air, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.

After five years of arduous cultivation, he only needs to enlighten one more acupoint to advance to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Hearing footsteps behind him, the gourd's round ears twitched a few times, and it turned around nimbly. Overjoyed, it rushed to Gu Fan and rubbed its big head against him a few times.

Gu Fan was knocked off balance by the impact.

Five years later, the gourd had grown much larger.

When it first arrived at Falling Star Island, it was less than three feet tall, but because Gu Fan often took it hunting monsters and allowed it to devour the essence of monster flesh and blood, it has now grown to four feet tall.

It was through hunting monsters that Gu Fan discovered that the gourd was extremely good at swimming. Whether it was swimming underwater or walking on the waves, it was very fast and could even release some water-based spells.

But considering that the gourd's water-based talent was inherited from Chang Yuan's blood essence, Gu Fan wasn't surprised.

In addition, the gourd was quite cute, and it could occasionally beg for a pill while playing with the disciples on the island. If Gu Fan hadn't worked extra hard, his cultivation level would probably have been surpassed by it.

The Liu brothers found the existence of the gourd quite strange.

Even with the Liu family's wealth and influence, they couldn't figure out the gourd's origin.

Gu Fan didn't hold back; the "Spirit Forging Technique" was displayed on the second floor of the Star Pavilion, and they could exchange for it if they wanted.

However, Gu Fan did not directly point out that its difficulty was even greater than that of alchemy.

In the first three years after arriving at Falling Star Island, Gu Fan didn't understand why the Liu brothers were somewhat hostile towards him.

It wasn't until one day when Lin Qian'er stopped to rest on Falling Star Island and saw the two men's eagerness to give each other their hearts, yet Lin Qian'er remained indifferent, that Gu Fan finally realized what was going on.

It seems they somehow found out about Gu Fan's visit to Lin Qian'er and saw him as a competitor.

After several years apart, Lin Qian'er had completely digested the flower demon's heart.

Even without using any seductive arts, simply standing there is enough to make her a stunning sight, a true focal point.

Lin Qian'er herself seemed oblivious, and after arriving on the island, she chatted with Gu Fan alone for a long time.

As the two left, Gu Fan noticed a burning gaze behind him, almost making him think that the "True Technique of Pulling the Machine" was issuing a warning.

In reality, Lin Qian'er and Gu Fan were simply catching up.

Through their conversation, Gu Fan keenly sensed that Lin Qian'er harbored a peculiar affection for him, a mixture of curiosity and fear that prevented her from getting close.

Unfortunately, Gu Fan couldn't explain it either; he couldn't very well say that the thing that almost possessed you was still in his left hand.

However, after Lin Qian'er left, Gu Fan's relationship with the Liu brothers cooled down even more.

Gu Fan didn't take it to heart.

As long as it doesn't interfere with his cultivation, Gu Fan has no time to care about how others perceive him.

......

After unlocking the fourth acupoint, Gu Fan added another task for himself—to learn alchemy.

Although the Myriad Manifestations Eye's effects are not in alchemy, Gu Fan can still practice it on his own.

Over the years, he has memorized the pharmacology and mastered the art of fire control.

All the prerequisites for becoming an alchemist have been met; all that remains is practical experience.

Gu Fan's interest in studying alchemy stemmed from two main reasons. Firstly, his skills in weapon crafting and talisman-making were stuck at a bottleneck, and only by improving his cultivation and spiritual sense could he break through to the next level.

On the other hand, the waters surrounding Falling Star Island are rich in medicinal herbs, and with good books and stories to accompany him every day, there are enough materials for him to practice with.

The gourd, as a bloodline talent of the Wind Breath Rat, did not disappear after the Spirit Forging; instead, it was strengthened, allowing the user to sense the aura of underwater spiritual herbs while traveling underwater.

When he went hunting in the sea, he would often bring back one or two medicinal herbs, and then approach Gu Fan with a proud look on his face.

After starting the alchemy process, Gu Fan truly experienced the difficulty of alchemy.

In the first year, he tried to start the furnace once a month, but he failed every time.

The waste residue from refining so many spiritual herbs pained him greatly.

Fortunately, the gourd didn't mind. Its Devouring Heaven Secret Technique could ignore the poison in the residue and extract the remaining spiritual energy, so all the residue went into its big mouth.

Chang Yuan was not satisfied with this, and he scolded the gourd for disgracing his innate supernatural power.

"Back in the day, I devoured countless rare treasures and miraculous elixirs, and you, you fool, are this happy over eating scraps!"

Chang Yuan looked at the gourd's jubilant appearance, and the black mist of the Nascent Soul stage trembled. Gu Fan could even see a sense of heartache in it.

Hulu tilted his head, looking puzzled by Chang Yuan's words.

Then I'll eat it again next time.

It wasn't until the following year that Gu Fan finally managed to refine a batch of Qi-replenishing pills.

"I can be considered a first-tier alchemist now!"

Gu Fan held a few well-preserved Qi-replenishing pills in his hand, and a sense of accomplishment welled up within him.

Unexpectedly, while the elixir was still warm, the gourd's round head came closer. Its tongue flicked and snatched the pill away.

Gu Fan, startled and furious, grabbed the gourd's cheek and scolded, "This is the first pill I've ever refined! I haven't even eaten it yet!"

Hulu puffed out his cheeks and stared blankly for a moment, then rolled his eyes twice and spat out a pill.

Gu Fan looked at the pill covered in saliva on the gourd's tongue and sighed helplessly.

"Eat up, eat up, and then break through to the mid-stage of the second tier as soon as possible."

The gourd immediately grinned and swallowed the pill in one gulp with its eyes narrowed.

By absorbing the essence of demonic beast bloodlines and numerous remnants of spiritual herbs, the gourd's cultivation level steadily improved.

Now it stands five feet tall, and its limbs are also quite large. Its slender tail was as thick as a thigh, and Gu Fan suspected that it might even be taller than Gu Fan after breaking through to the mid-stage of the second tier.

"It's a pity he doesn't look dignified at all," Gu Fan said, pursing his lips.

Upon hearing this, Hulu stuck out his tongue and made a face at him.

The man and the beast playfully walked outside, gazing at the waning moon. Gu Fan suddenly realized that he had been on Falling Star Island for seven years.

......

A gentle sea breeze and bright sunshine.

As usual, Gu Fan inspected the island's formations, occasionally stopping to adjust the positions of the formation flags.

The gourd followed closely behind him, occasionally picking up a seashell and throwing it back into the sea, leaving a trail of deep footprints.

Suddenly, Gu Fan's divine sense detected a streak of light rapidly approaching Falling Star Island. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a massive magic ship he had never seen before.

Gu Fan immediately became alert and quickly took out a three-foot-long array flag, waving it repeatedly.

In an instant, beams of light rose from several small islands surrounding Falling Star Island, connecting to form a sea-blue barrier. Wisps of white mist rose from the sea surface, gathering into a cloud of water above the islands.

The strange magic boat moved extremely fast. Its bronze body was bronze in color, and its bow resembled a three-headed phoenix. It had two pairs of iron wings on each side, radiating a blue glow.

If Gu Fan hadn't already advanced to the fifth level of his "Star Evolution Divine Observation Technique," enabling him to detect visitors from ten miles away, the visitors would likely have already set foot on Falling Star Island by the time they were discovered.

"Enemy attack!" A loud voice echoed throughout the surrounding area.

Then, Gu Fan patted the gourd and called out, "Go back quickly!"

The man and the beast quickly returned to the central island, where they encountered the Liu brothers who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

"They are cultivators from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion."

Liu Daoyuan stared at the bronze magic boat with a gloomy expression, but his demeanor remained calm.

The three of them were guarding Falling Star Island, and this was the first time that cultivators from the Chen Kingdom had attacked them. As the leader, they especially could not afford to lose their composure.

Dozens of figures stood side by side on the Dharma boat. The leader was a Taoist in a black robe, holding the Three Treasures Ruyi, wearing a lotus crown on his head, and with three thin beards hanging down to his chest, giving him a rather otherworldly and dignified appearance.

"Tsk, only one Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, it's a pity he was detected." The Taoist in black robes shook his head and sighed, "If we could have landed on the island before the magic array was activated, we might have been able to seize it."

A handsome Taoist priest with fair skin laughed and said, "Relying on the Ghost Phoenix Boat's incredible speed, it's already good enough if you succeed once or twice. How can you succeed every time?"

The Taoist in the black robe and the handsome Taoist were both in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, while the other two were in the early-Foundation Establishment stage. With a total of four Foundation Establishment cultivators present, they could be considered fearless.

The Taoist priest in black robes swept his whisk and said in a deep voice, "Although the sneak attack failed, it's not good to have come all this way for nothing."

After speaking, the Taoist in the black robe took out a small black banner from his sleeve.

"Let's play along with them!"
