To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Urgent! Major plot twist! Watch now!

After winning the first battle, Gu Fan leaped onto the True Inheritance Stone Platform and exchanged a smile with Chen Su, who was standing next to him.

On the golden auspicious cloud, Elder Chen looked at the gourd on Gu Fan's shoulder and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, your disciple can actually control beasts?"

"But..." Elder Chen frowned and said, "I've never seen this strange beast before?"

Elder Chen, as the head of the Spirit Beast Peak, had the skill of identifying spirit beasts as his specialty. He racked his brains for a long time but could not recall any. After thinking for a while, his expression suddenly changed.

"Could it be the Spirit Forging Technique?" Elder Chen frowned and muttered to himself, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He then exclaimed, "To be able to forge a spirit for a second-tier spirit beast, this boy's talent is truly wasted on Wendao Peak!"

The jade slips obtained in the Luofu Secret Realm have been viewed by all the Golden Core elders.

The Spirit Forging Technique is closely related to spirit beasts, which left a deep impression on Elder Chen. He even tried it himself and succeeded many times.

However, even for him, the success rate of forging spirits for second-tier spirit beasts was very low, and the cost of each failure was extremely high, so he eventually gave up.

Master Xuanji snorted coldly, displeased, "Beast taming is nothing; who in the cultivation world doesn't know a few tricks? Since you think my disciple is exceptionally talented, why not relinquish the position of head of the Spirit Beast Peak and let him hold both positions? Wouldn't that be perfect?"

Elder Chen was furious. He pointed at Xuanji Zhenren, his finger trembling, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Master Xuanji stroked his beard with a smug look.

In fact, this was the first time he had ever seen a gourd.

The gourd didn't like the spirit beast pouch, so it was always kept free-range at the Lingxiao Sect. When Gu Fan visited Xuanji Zhenren, he also left the gourd on Phoenix Perch Island.

But that didn't stop him from confronting Elder Chen.

Just then, the next Foundation Establishment cultivator appeared.

Gu Fan raised an eyebrow; the person was none other than Lin Qian'er.

Lin Qian'er, dressed in purple, stood tall and elegant, her beauty beyond compare. Her appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention, and even the whispers stopped.

To Gu Fan's surprise, Lin Qian'er's cultivation had already broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

This is not only due to the Earth-grade spiritual root, but also inseparable from the allocation of resources.

Gu Fan didn't know how many rewards Lin Qian'er received for presenting the "Taiyin Refinement Technique," but almost every new disciple of the Lingxiao Sect knew how to practice this technique, which showed its value.

Lin Qian'er's beautiful eyes swept over the stone platform of the true disciples, her gaze lingering slightly on Gu Fan, and she blinked her beautiful eyes.

Her gaze swept over Chen Suzhen and Qu Yanfeng, then Lin Qian'er curtsied and said softly, "Please enlighten me, Senior Brother Qu."

Qu Yanfeng froze, sighed, and jumped off the stone platform.

If he could, he really didn't want to face Lin Qian'er.

In his opinion, it would be more worthwhile for Lin Qian'er to challenge Chen Suzhen, since Chen Suzhen was the easiest to handle among the three.

Chen Suzhen was also quite surprised by Lin Qian'er. She turned to look at Gu Fan and frowned, saying, "Junior brother, why do I feel like she's looking at you?"

"It's probably just my senior brother's imagination," Gu Fan said without changing his expression.

He didn't know if Lin Qian'er was influenced by him to not choose Chen Suzhen, so he could only bury his doubts in his heart.

With the tolling of a bell, a great battle was about to break out.

Qu Yanfeng made his move almost as soon as the bell rang. A fire spirit appeared behind him, continuously spewing out flames that melted the ground into lava, hoping to use this to counter Lin Qian'er's teleportation technique.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qian'er's figure swayed gently in the wind, and the silver chain under her feet spread out a shadow, darting through the void in the blink of an eye, dodging all the flames.

When the shadow reached Qu Yanfeng's feet, he immediately retreated alertly.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qian'er did not choose to launch a sneak attack, but instead began to dance in the air, with an inexplicable Daoist aura spreading outwards and filling the entire barrier.

Qu Yanfeng immediately paused, and the hand seals on his hands dissipated.

"This is... a mental attack?" Chen Suzhen asked in surprise.

Gu Fan stared at Qu Yanfeng's expression, and the more he looked, the more familiar it seemed. These symptoms were exactly the same as those of someone who had been poisoned by the strange Daoist aura of "Drunken Life and Dream Death"!

"The Flower Fairy's Heart amplifies the power of seduction to an astounding degree."

"No, there's also the difference in spiritual sense. Lin Qian'er's spiritual sense is far stronger than Qu Yanfeng's. So-called seductive arts are essentially just a form of spiritual attack!"

Gu Fan was also secretly alarmed, thinking that if his opponent was Lin Qian'er, he probably wouldn't have a better way than to create distance and attack with a wide range.

Qu Yanfeng was caught off guard and stood frozen in place.

Then, a bizarre scene unfolded in the eyes of the onlookers.

Lin Qian'er's ribbons swept towards Qu Yanfeng, but he remained motionless, letting himself be tightly bound, until a short sword was placed against his neck, at which point he suddenly woke up.

"The winner is Lin Qian'er!"

As Liu Shentong announced the results, Qu Yanfeng left the venue with a look of regret.

After Lin Qian'er, only six disciples remained who had not yet taken the stage.

Without a doubt, Gu Fan and Chen Suzhen became brothers in misfortune.

Qu Yanfeng was easily defeated, and no one dared to touch Xu Changsheng's beard, so Gu Fan and Chen Suzhen became the breakthrough point.

Even so, Chen Suzhen almost lost.

His opponent was a sword cultivator with a metal spiritual root, whose body was not only incredibly agile as a sword light, but whose sword energy was also extremely sharp.

In contrast, Chen Suzhen's powerful attacks were much slower, and within a short time of fighting, several cuts appeared on her body, with blood gushing out.

But the injury also ignited Chen Suzhen's ferocity, and her once gentle face was now filled with murderous intent.

At the critical moment, Chen Suzhen rode the pink-dyed waves, blocking the sword cultivator in the corner of the barrier with a suicidal stance.

Then, a jet of black lightning surged from Chen Suzhen's palm, capturing the sword cultivator like a net from heaven and earth.

The next instant, dark lightning roared, and the sword cultivator trembled as he fell to the ground.

Chen Suzhen returned victorious, sitting half-upright on the stone platform and laughing loudly.

At this point, only one person had not yet stepped onto the stage to challenge, and regardless of the circumstances, he had already secured the position of a true disciple.

"When did you learn lightning magic, Senior Brother?" Gu Fan asked, puzzled.

Logically speaking, the "Han Hai Chong Xuan Zhen Jing" is a water-based cultivation technique and does not contain any lightning-based spells.

Chen Suzhen smiled smugly and said, "This is the Profound Water Yin Thunder, a secret technique given to me by Senior Brother Xu. It must be practiced together with someone who cultivates thunder magic; you cannot master it on your own."

"I only recently mastered this skill, and I'm still not proficient, so I can only take a risk."

Gu Fan glanced at Xu Changsheng and tentatively asked, "Could it be that Senior Brother has already been cooperating with Senior Brother Xu?"

Chen Suzhen nodded.

Gu Fan then recalled that when he first went to Lanyun Peak to congratulate Chen Suzhen on her foundation establishment, he ran into Xu Changsheng who came to visit.

It was Chen Suzhen who introduced him to Xu Changsheng, and it is likely that the two began to cooperate at that time.

After exchanging a few words, Gu Fan turned to look at the last disciple.

If he's right, that person will definitely choose him.

As expected, things turned out differently.

"My name is Chen Zhiyan. I humbly request your guidance, Junior Brother Gu."

Gu Fan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chen Zhiyan wearing a golden robe, his long black hair tied back with a golden crown with animal patterns. He stood in mid-air with one hand behind his back, his tone seemingly respectful, but his eyes were full of arrogance.

On the golden auspicious cloud, Elder Chen suddenly smiled at True Person Xuanji: "What a small world! Let me show you how my junior eliminates your disciple!"

"Shut your beak," Xuanji Zhenren replied coldly.

Gu Fan took a step forward and flashed into the barrier, solemnly bowing with his hands clasped in greeting.

With a slight probe of his divine sense, he discovered that Chen Zhiyan possessed a powerful aura, likely only a hair's breadth away from the late Foundation Establishment stage. Even more terrifying was the sharp, deadly aura emanating from his body.

"Sword cultivator?" Gu Fan pondered for a moment, then shook his head in denial: "Not a sword cultivator. The aura seems sharp but it's not sword energy, but it must be a metal-based cultivation technique."

Gu Fan lowered his eyelids slightly, pondering a solution in his mind.

This is the final obstacle to his ascension to the position of true successor!
