Lingxiao Sect, Ziyun Palace.

Gu Fan was meditating with his eyes closed in the quiet room when he suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound outside the palace, and the earth shook instantly.

Startled awake, Gu Fan leaped into the air and witnessed a scene that infuriated him.

On the mountain peak where Ziyun Palace is located, a ten-zhang-tall gourd with a smug look on its face pressed Xiao Hei down.

Little Black's limbs thrashed about, its thick tail lashing against the mountainside; the tremors were caused by the two of them playing.

"What are you doing!"

With a roar, Gu Fan descended from the sky, transforming into a ten-zhang-tall fire god general, and mercilessly pressed his giant hand down on the gourd and Xiao Hei.

"Bang! Bang!"

A slap landed on the heads of the two spirit beasts, scattering large patches of flame that scorched the ground black. The two spirit beasts howled and were forced to shrink their bodies, obediently squatting on the ground without daring to struggle.

Gu Fan then dispersed the Flame God General's Dharma Form, and, still angry, slapped each of them.

"How many times have I told you not to fool around? Are you trying to tear down Ziyun Palace?!" Gu Fan frowned, heartbroken.

The gourd barked twice, pointed at Little Black, and looked indignant.

Gu Fan listened through the spirit contract for a long time before he understood what was going on.

Twenty years have passed, and Xiao Hei has matured. He finally realizes that he is not the gourd's biological son and immediately becomes dissatisfied with the gourd.

As the dragon bloodline manifested, Xiao Hei's cultivation level also improved. It is now a second-tier spirit beast, and after the second spirit forging, it is about to break through to the mid-second tier. It has also learned the ability to control the size of things.

The gourd was equally angry.

He used to call me "Dad" so affectionately, but now he won't even call me "Big Brother." How can I not beat him?

Gu Fan was exasperated and said in a deep voice, "This isn't your first offense. The spirit beast pouch will be locked up for a month!"

After saying that, without waiting for the two little ones to protest, he took out the spirit beast pouch and put them inside.

Looking at the mess, Gu Fan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. With a stomp of his foot, a surge of earth energy erupted, and the collapsed mountain wall slowly returned to its original state.

This was not an earth-based spell, but rather the effect of an array.

Over the past twenty years, not only have the two spirit beasts improved, but Gu Fan's transformation has also been remarkable.

After reaching the fifth level of the "Star Evolution Divine Observation Technique," he encountered a bottleneck, but his progress in the other techniques was tremendous.

First is the "Great Luo Inner Landscape Heavenly Profound Chapter," which has finally enlightened twelve acupoints, marking the completion of the Foundation Establishment stage of cultivation.

Secondly, there's the "Crimson Sun Demon-Slaying Scripture." After breaking through to the third level, Gu Fan's control over the Crimson Sun Heavenly Sword became even more effortless, and he unlocked other combat techniques.

The Flame God General Dharma Form that was just used was one of them.

This Dharma form was originally only one zhang tall, an advanced form of the Heavenly Fire Bath Robe, but Gu Fan combined it with the Size-Wish-Fulfilling Spell and improved it.

Although the Great and Small Ruyi taught by Chang Yuan is a method of cultivation for demon beasts, it belongs to the same lineage of creation, and its true meaning can be learned and comprehended.

This was also the first time Gu Fan had used the Myriad Manifestations Eye to attempt to modify a spell, rather than practicing according to a fixed release method.

He dared not release the modified spells rashly. He would observe them with his All-Seeing Eye to ensure that they conformed to the human body's meridians and that there would be no breakage or collision in the spell's circuits before attempting to practice them.

Even so, he still suffered minor injuries twice and took several months to recover.

If his meridians had not been strengthened several times, the consequences would have been even worse, which also highlights the difficulty of creating cultivation techniques and secret arts.

In addition, Chang Yuan's cultivation level has also recovered to the peak of Foundation Establishment, even surpassing Gu Fan's by one step.

After repairing the damaged mountain wall, Gu Fan returned to Ziyun Palace and noticed that the purple jade ring in his storage bag was trembling.

"Is this... a summons from Master?"

Gu Fan's purple jade ring was personally bestowed by Elder Xuanji, and its immediate reaction is a signal of summoning, indicating that something important must be about to be said.

Thinking of this, Gu Fan's expression turned solemn, and he rode the Void Shuttle straight towards Wendao Peak.

In front of Chenxing Pavilion, Zhou Furui leaned back in his recliner, not reading popular stories as usual, but looking up at the ever-changing white clouds in the sky.

Gu Fan looked at the white hair at Zhou Furui's temples and felt a heaviness in his heart.

Zhou Furui's lifespan is less than twenty years. Even though he took the Youth Preservation Pill when he was young, he still shows signs of aging.

"Senior brother," Gu Fan called softly as he stepped forward.

Zhou Furui suddenly came to his senses and grinned when he saw Gu Fan: "Junior brother is here."

Gu Fan nodded slightly and asked, "Did Master summon you just now to give you some important instructions?"

Zhou Furui laughed and nodded, saying, "Hurry up and go up, there's good news!"

Gu Fan walked up to the third floor of Chenxing Pavilion, completely bewildered, and ascended the white jade altar.

Compared to Zhou Furui, Xuanji Zhenren was in much better condition, with a rosy complexion and her white hair neatly draped behind her.

But Gu Fan knew that all of this was merely a manifestation of the difference in cultivation levels; beneath the surface, Xuanji Zhenren's vitality was almost completely depleted.

"Disciple greets Master." Gu Fan bowed, a hint of sadness in his voice.

Master Xuanji lifted him up with a flick of his whisk, and said with a reproach, "I am still alive, why make such a show of it?"

After scrutinizing Gu Fan from head to toe, Master Xuanji nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Not bad. His magical power is profound, and his divine sense is stable. As long as he obtains the ancestral energy of the Mysterious Female, his chances of forming his core are very high!"

Gu Fan smiled wryly upon hearing this, "There's been no movement from the Fallen Soul Abyss, and we don't even know where the Xuanpin Ancestral Qi disciples are going to search."

The ancestral energy of the Xuanpin originates from the place where water and fire meet. Due to the dissipation of spiritual energy in the Qionghua Realm, spiritual lands that meet the requirements have almost disappeared. Gu Fan has been trying to find information over the years but has gained nothing. It seems that the only hope is to wait for the Fallen Soul Abyss to erupt.

Master Xuanji's lips curled into a smile, and he laughed heartily, "Don't rush, don't rush, your luck is even greater than mine, the ancestral energy of the Mysterious Female is here!"

Gu Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in surprise, "Master, are you saying that the Abyss of Fallen Souls is about to erupt?"

"Not bad." Master Xuanji nodded slightly and continued, "Yesterday, the Hundred Refinements Sect sent a message that the baleful aura in the Fallen Soul Abyss suddenly surged, which is a sign that the Immortal Ship is about to erupt."

"It is expected that tomorrow, the sect will issue an order to summon the disciples who are away to make arrangements for going to the Soul Abyss."

At this point, Master Xuanji's smile faded, and he said seriously, "The timing of the outbreak of the Soul-Falling Abyss is uncertain. Not only will the three sects of Wei go, but cultivators from Wu and Yan will also go. Although the countries have agreed that Golden Core cultivators will not participate in the competition, the evil spirits and ancient corpses remaining in the immortal ship will not care about these things. You should prepare well."

"Rest assured, Master, I will certainly live up to your expectations," Gu Fan said loudly.

Upon hearing this, Master Xuanji slowly shook his head: "Although I wanted to see you form your core and take over Wendao Peak before I passed away, in recent years I have increasingly felt that it is too heavy to put all these burdens on your shoulders."

"No matter what, survival should be the priority. As long as you're alive, there's always hope."

Gu Fan chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Master, why underestimate your disciple? This time, I will certainly meet the heroes of the Eastern Continent!"

He had long awaited the Fallen Soul Abyss, and moreover, the Mysterious Female Ancestral Qi was essential for Core Formation, so he would never back down.

Xuanji Zhenren naturally understood Gu Fan and smiled with satisfaction.

After chatting for a while, Gu Fan finally stepped down from Chenxing Pavilion.

Before leaving, Gu Fan suddenly stopped and looked at Zhou Furui, suggesting, "Senior Brother, you must be bored here all alone. How about I find a disciple to keep you company?"

Zhou Furui had no objection, but advised Gu Fan not to seek out those with low comprehension.

Gu Fan nodded, returned to Ziyun Palace, summoned Hou Wenzhao, and instructed, "Go and summon Song Lian here."
