To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

On Falling Star Island, magical light shines everywhere.

After the Liu brothers fled, alarm bells rang loudly in Gu Fan's mind.

Countless thoughts arose and spun rapidly in his mind.

He didn't know why Mu Fengchun abandoned the Liu brothers, but these two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were clearly after him.

In the next instant, more than ten spirit talismans were unleashed.

The illusory mountain peaks, the celestial sword, the icy wind, and the thunder dragon instantly illuminated the surroundings with a dazzling array of colors.

In order to break through the encirclement, Gu Fan did not hesitate to use up all the second-tier spirit talismans he had accumulated over the years.

This extravagant gesture startled both Mu Fengchun and Wang Huaiyu.

After casting the talisman, Gu Fan put the gourd into his spirit beast bag, turned into a blur, and fled!

Wang Huaiyu summoned a landscape painting scroll, which wrapped around his body like a ribbon, while he constantly moved and dodged the talisman.

But after this, Gu Fan's figure quickly disappeared into the distance.

"Damn it, we can't let him escape!"

Wang Huaiyu's eyes turned bloodshot in an instant.

Even though he was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and a nephew of Wang Jingshuo, he was never spared any punishment if he failed to fulfill Wang Jingshuo's expectations!

Thinking of this, Wang Huaiyu immediately took out the token given to him by Wang Jingshuo and crushed it with a strong grip.

As Gu Fan fled, he suddenly felt a thorn in his side, a sense of oppression coming from behind him.

Gu Fan extended his divine sense backward and saw that Wang Huaiyu was enveloped in a ball of black light. The black light writhed a few times and revealed a face that Gu Fan had never seen before!

Mu Fengchun immediately recognized the face; it was none other than his master, Wang Jingshuo!

He then looked at the token broken in two and thought to himself, "So it's a possession technique."

The so-called possession technique is a secret art that involves attaching the spellcaster's magical power and consciousness to another person, thereby borrowing their cultivation.

However, after being possessed, the possessor will inevitably suffer severe damage due to the excessive power they bear!

At this moment, Wang Huaiyu's cultivation level was infinitely close to the Core Formation stage!

Seeing this, Mu Fengchun slowly stopped.

Given the immense sacrifice Wang Huaiyu made, there was no reason for him to fail. Mu Fengchun's actions were merely a signal that he would not compete with Wang Huaiyu for credit.

Wang Huaiyu was, after all, Wang Jingshuo's blood relative, while Mu Fengchun was ultimately an outsider!

The next instant, a flash of black light appeared.

Wang Huaiyu disappeared from the spot, and when she reappeared, she was only a few dozen feet away from Gu Fan.

"Kid, you can't get away!"

Wang Huaiyu grinned menacingly, and with a single stroke of his brush, waves of ink surged forth towards Gu Fan like a tidal wave.

Gu Fan's pupils contracted instantly. The Heavenly Fire Bath Robe created a fiery domain, and the Returning Origin Furnace slammed out fiercely against the inky waves.

Unexpectedly, after colliding with the inky waves, the Guiyuan Furnace was thrown back like a plank floating on the waves.

Immediately afterwards, the wave engulfed the Heavenly Fire Bathrobe.

Gu Fan felt his magical power suddenly vanish, and a sense of emptiness arose in his dantian.

The Azure Cloud Pearl immediately formed a light barrier in front of him, but the next second, one pearl after another lit up, until the ninth pearl, when the emerald green light barrier shattered in an instant.

This meticulously crafted superior defensive artifact is now ruined!

The inky waves crashed fiercely against Gu Fan's chest.

Gu Fan spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.

If it weren't for the protective effects of the Formless Immortal Robe and the Purple Scale Inner Armor, this attack would have been enough to severely injure him, leaving him unable to move.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, Chang Yuan's deep voice resounded.

"You're doomed, kid. This person used the spirit-attachment technique to borrow the mana of a Golden Core cultivator, and there's also a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator over there. You're doomed now."

"Spit it out!" Gu Fan replied coldly.

"Hey! You're such a grumpy kid, even when you're about to die," Chang Yuan teased, his voice lowering as he said slowly, "I can save your life, if you agree to one condition. How about it?"

"What are the conditions?" Gu Fan asked cautiously.

Chang Yuan chuckled twice, his tone unmistakably sinister: "If you agree, how about I possess that spirit beast?"

Gu Fan then realized that Chang Yuan's target was the gourd!

On second thought, the gourd contained the essence of Changyuan's blood and was infused with the spirit of the Fire Scale Horn and the Exquisite Wood Heart, making it indeed an excellent physical body.

If the two hadn't signed a contract, and Chang Yuan hadn't been allowed to seize the gourd's body without Gu Fan's permission, he probably would have taken over the gourd's physical form long ago.

"Keep dreaming!"

Gu Fan coldly replied in his mind, then ignored Chang Yuan and gritted his teeth to endure the excruciating pain as he struggled to get up.

No matter what Chang Yuan planned, Gu Fan was not going to let him succeed.

Besides, he still has some trump cards he hasn't used!

"Hmm? It can still struggle?"

Wang Huaiyu's deep voice revealed a hint of surprise, and he was about to take action again.

"Senior, wait!" Gu Fan reached out to stop him, stood up with difficulty, and asked, "If you are after Falling Star Island, why go to such great lengths to chase me? Please let me die knowing why."

Gu Fan had already noticed that something was wrong with Wang Huaiyu.

A surge in strength always comes at a price, and Wang Huaiyu's actions were definitely not solely for the sake of Falling Star Island.

"Don't worry, you won't die."

Wang Huaiyu, not expecting Gu Fan to be so perceptive, sneered, "As for why I'm pursuing you... do you still remember my brother, Wang Zhengfeng?"

"Wang Zhengfeng?"

Gu Fan was taken aback. He retrieved Wang Zhengfeng's dying words from his memory and nodded silently.

"The Wang family, I didn't go looking for you, but you found me first!"

Gu Fan silently thought to himself, slowly raised his head, a murderous glint in his eyes, and said coldly, "I understand, you can die now!"

The next instant, a small bronze mirror appeared in his palm.

With a thought, the True Treasure Void Mirror suddenly shone brightly, runes flashed on its surface, and nine silver beams shot towards Wang Huaiyu.

"A true treasure!" Wang Huaiyu exclaimed as he looked at the radiance emanating from the Void Mirror.

Even when Gu Fan took out a talisman, he was confident that he could handle it, but he never expected that Gu Fan would have a real treasure!

It's too late to dodge!

Wang Huaiyu immediately summoned a landscape painting scroll, which wrapped around his body like a ribbon, with the boundless ink forming a river in front of him.

But the silver light was indestructible, piercing through the ink-black river and creating nine holes in the landscape painting, passing right through Wang Huaiyu's chest.

The mirror-like light shimmered in waves.

True treasures are like this; once activated, they are difficult to control and only stop when their power is fully released.

When the mirror light faded, the ink-colored river disappeared, and the landscape painting was shattered into countless scraps of paper that drifted in the air. Wang Huaiyu was like a tattered sack gushing blood, and through his chest, one could see the sea behind him.

Gu Fan reached out and grabbed Wang Huaiyu's storage bag in his hand, then fled in a flash of light.

He hadn't forgotten that there was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator watching from afar!

In the distance, Mu Fengchun saw Wang Huaiyu's body fall downwards, and a buzzing sound filled his mind.

No!

How did he die?

They were just trying to capture a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, and they even used a possession token, but they ended up being killed by a true treasure?

The situation changed so quickly that Mu Fengchun was dumbfounded and his mind went blank.

A terrible thought flashed through Mu Fengchun's mind—Wang Huaiyu, the blood relative whom Wang Jingshuo valued most and the current strongest host of the calamity seed, is dead. What will happen to him?

"No, we have to bring that kid back!"

Mu Fengchun suddenly realized what was happening, his whole body trembled, and he let out a sharp cry as he chased after Gu Fan.

Wang Huaiyu's death is a foregone conclusion. If Gu Fan is allowed to escape as well, his chances of returning are slim.

"Since that kid killed Wang Huaiyu, the blame will fall on him too. As long as we capture him and bring him back..."

Thinking this, Mu Fengchun summoned the abacus magic artifact, tilted his head back, and spat out a mouthful of blood essence.

In an instant, the abacus artifact emitted a crimson glow, and Mu Fengchun, stepping on the abacus artifact, transformed into a blood-red shadow and chased after Gu Fan.

Unexpectedly, after chasing for a while, they saw Gu Fan disappear without a trace, leaving only a phantom image.

"They ran away?" Mu Fengchun was shocked.

But he quickly realized something was wrong.

"How could someone at the early stage of Foundation Establishment run that fast? He must have found a way to conceal his body!"

Once he made up his mind, Mu Fengchun took out a compass from his storage bag.

He found a trace of blood where Gu Fan had previously landed, dipped his finger in the blood, and smeared it on the compass to create a bloodstain. Then he made hand seals, chanted incantations, and infused the compass with magical power.

The compass needle jerked and pointed in a certain direction.

"They really didn't go far!"

Mu Fengchun was greatly encouraged and immediately took control of his abacus magic weapon, chasing after the direction indicated by the compass.

Mu Fengchun guessed correctly; Gu Fan had indeed not gone far.

Despite being protected by the Immortal Robe of No Form and the Purple Scale Inner Armor, Wang Huaiyu's attack still seriously injured him.

At this moment, he felt a sharp pain in his meridians, and his magical power was almost completely exhausted.

Left with no other choice, he had to use the technique of glimpsing light and shadow to conceal his figure, as well as the effect of the formless immortal robe to conceal his divine sense, and quickly escape into the deep sea.

After diving underwater, Gu Fan immediately released the gourd.

Hulu noticed Gu Fan's condition and immediately rushed over anxiously.

"There are still pursuers behind us, hurry up!" Gu Fan ordered through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing this, the gourd enlarged its size, hoisted Gu Fan onto its back, and cleaved through the waves to travel quickly.

After diving dozens of miles underwater, they found a reef, and only then did the man and the beast emerge from the water.

Gu Fan took out a healing pill and put it in his mouth. A faint cool sensation quickly spread throughout his body, and he immediately felt the pain in his meridians lessen considerably.

He then swallowed a pill to restore his mana and closed his eyes to digest it.

Gu Fan had just digested most of the pill when he suddenly opened his eyes.

My divine sense has already detected that a streak of blood-red light is rapidly approaching from ten miles away.

The surrounding light and shadows distorted, and Gu Fan used the inner landscape to conceal his figure with the light array. At the same time, the lotus leaves on the formless immortal robe swayed gently, and a strange Daoist charm spread out, concealing the divine sense probing.

The crimson streak of light sped to the vicinity of the reef and then suddenly stopped, causing Gu Fan to feel a sense of foreboding.

Mu Fengchun stood atop a cloud, his shrill voice spreading out: "Boy, although I don't know how you hid, you can't escape my grasp!"

The next instant, the abacus beads scattered like raindrops.

When a golden abacus bead landed on the reef, Gu Fan flashed his Crimson Sun Heavenly Sword and cleaved the bead away.

The next instant, the abacus beads scattered like raindrops.

When a golden abacus bead landed on the reef, Gu Fan flashed his Crimson Sun Heavenly Sword and cleaved the bead away.

But this move also revealed his hiding place.

Mu Fengchun was overjoyed and took out a small bell, shaking it.

"Let me show you what the Death Bell tastes like!"

The dull tolling of the bell covered the entire sea surface, and moments later countless sea fish floated to the surface.

Upon hearing the bell, Hulu painfully covered his ears, and Gu Fan quickly put him into his spirit beast pouch.

The next moment, Gu Fan pretended to struggle to get up, staggered a couple of steps, and then plunged headfirst into the sea.

Mu Fengchun assumed the Soul-Losing Bell had worked, shook it twice more at the spot where Gu Fan had fallen, and then dived into the water to try and pull Gu Fan out.

To their surprise, once they entered the water, they saw no one in sight.

"Where did he go? Could it be that the kid has hidden himself again using the invisibility technique?"

"Don't worry, since they've been hit by my Soul-Stealing Bell, they'll surely be unconscious even if they hide!"

Thinking this, Mu Fengchun immediately began to search carefully around, but even after sweeping through the entire mile radius, he still couldn't find Gu Fan's shadow.

He then realized he had been tricked; Gu Fan's staggering fall was an act!

Mu Fengchun was so angry that he was practically fuming. He took out his compass and was about to search for Gu Fan's location.

Unexpectedly, the compass did not respond after being activated.

"Damn it, the Calamity Tracking Technique can only be used once every half hour!"

This is a secret method taught to him by Wang Jingshuo, specifically for searching for the seeds of death in calamities.

As a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, Mu Fengchun, aided by a magical artifact like the Soul-Destroying Bell, usually captures his opponents with a single move. This is the first time he has failed!

He could no longer contain his anger and raised his hand to bombard the sea.

At the same time, more than ten miles away, Gu Fan released the gourd, and the man and the beast quickly began to dive underwater.

Mu Fengchun never expected that Gu Fan's "Star Evolution Divine Method" was already close to the fifth level, and his spiritual strength even surpassed that of ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators!

As the sound of the Soul-Slaying Bell rang out, the star map in my mind immediately shone brightly, blocking the sound of the bell.

Gu Fan realized this was a good opportunity to escape, so he pretended to be defeated and fell, but actually immediately escaped underwater!

At this moment, Gu Fan lay prone on the gourd's back, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Running away like this isn't working; we have to find a way to kill him!"
