To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Gu Fan was swept away by the storm and flew for an unknown distance until he crashed into a mountain wall and came to a stop.

Fortunately, the Sunset Bell was always above his head, so he was not injured.

Looking around, all around was a reddish-brown color, so dark that even divine sense could only detect a distance of about a hundred feet.

Gu Fan hid behind the mountain wall to recuperate for a moment, when he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet tremble, and then a dark head popped out—it was Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei was only at the early stage of the second tier, and could not play a significant role against the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Previously, Gu Fan only instructed him to wait for an opportunity to act from the surrounding area.

When the storm broke out, it hid underground and followed the spiritual connection.

Gu Fan was overjoyed and tapped the little black dog on the head.

Xiao Hei immediately turned around, letting Gu Fan grab its thick tail, and plunged headfirst into the ground.

The storm is raging on the surface, but it has no effect underground.

Using Xiao Hei's earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one to escape through the earth) technique, Gu Fan traveled dozens of miles towards the direction of the immortal ship. After emerging from the ground, he searched with his divine sense but found neither Chen Suzhen nor the others, nor any Xuanpin Ancestral Qi.

Fortunately, after the storm hit, the ancient corpse, whose power had surged, also disappeared.

"I wonder what Ji Wushen did. That ancient corpse was probably comparable to the Golden Core realm in the end," Gu Fan said with lingering fear.

Although there is still a sword aura in the Azure Lion Ring that has not been used, it would be too wasteful to consume it on the ancient corpse.

He was quite satisfied with the outcome of avoiding the ancient corpse.

Chang Yuan climbed up the forearm to the shoulder, his tongue flicking out as he said, "What else could it be? Although that kid left a mark on the ancient corpse, he also suppressed its fighting instincts."

"After infusing a large amount of corpse energy, and then releasing control over the ancient corpse, its true power will naturally be unleashed."

Gu Fan immediately retorted with dissatisfaction, "You saw it so clearly, why didn't you lend a hand just now!"

Chang Yuan glanced at him dismissively: "You're not incapable of defeating me, why would I need to intervene?"

Gu Fan was speechless for a moment.

Chang Yuan is the kind of person who won't act without a reason.

Finding nothing around, Gu Fan patted Xiao Hei on the head and then burrowed underground to stealthily approach the Ark.

He would emerge from the ground every ten miles to check, but he never found anything.

"Kid, don't waste your energy. Go inside the immortal boat instead," Chang Yuan advised.

"Oh?" Gu Fan's eyes darted around, and he asked with a smile, "Does Senior know the origins of the Immortal Ship?"

"Arrogant at first, obsequious at second!" Chang Yuan snorted.

Gu Fan chuckled, unconcerned.

Chang Yuan looked up and observed for a moment, then sighed, "The only force capable of going head-to-head with the Luofu Immortal Sect and then erupting into internal strife after its fall is the [Primordial Demon Lord] lineage."

"Those lunatics have no sense of loyalty or righteousness. They probably just want to fight over something that can break through the Qionghua Realm because they see it's broken."

Gu Fan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but before he could speak, Chang Yuan reminded him, "Don't even think about it. Any good stuff would have been looted long ago. It would be good enough if there were any Xuanpin Ancestral Qi left."

"Then why did you tell me to go to the Immortal Ship to look for it?" Gu Fan asked.

Chang Yuan said quietly, "The so-called Mysterious Primordial Qi is actually a very stable essence. It is not particularly rare in the outside world and has a wide range of uses."

"These immortal ships that can cross realms are powered by the collision and combustion of two spiritual energies with completely opposite properties, and the intensity of the reaction is controlled by the primordial primordial energy."

"If I am not mistaken, the power furnace of the immortal ship is located here, and the primordial energy of the Xuanpin was leaked out along with the eruption of the earth's energy."

"When the power furnace erupts, the primordial energy of the Xuanpin clan flashes by. With the divine sense of a late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, it is extremely difficult to capture the primordial energy of the Xuanpin clan and successfully absorb it. But your divine sense is extraordinary, so why don't you go directly to the immortal ship instead?"

Gu Fan nodded, then suddenly asked, "Since the primordial energy of the Xuanpin has been leaked, what about the other two types of spiritual energy with opposite properties?"

"This..." Chang Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "This place is filled with malevolent energy, one of which must be malevolent energy, but what the opposite is is unknown. However, it is definitely a kind of pure spiritual energy, or perhaps some kind of celestial energy."

Upon hearing Chang Yuan mention the Heavenly Qi, Gu Fan's mind stirred.

After breaking through to the Golden Core stage in "The Great Luo Inner Landscape Heavenly Profound Chapter", if you want to open up the acupoints, the Creation Spirit Essence is not enough, so you have to use the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Qi instead.

"Thinking about it this way, the activation of acupoints is similar to the reaction of a power furnace," Gu Fan suddenly realized.

Once the decision was made, he didn't linger and followed Xiao Hei straight to the wreckage of the immortal ship.

Half a day later, Gu Fan finally arrived in front of the immortal ship, but he could not see the shape of the immortal ship at all. There was only a towering mountain sitting there.

Only the numerous cavities scattered throughout the mountains testify to the traces of human intervention.

Countless streams of malevolent energy and thick smoke drifted out of the hollow, accompanied by occasional loud bangs that stirred up another storm.

Gu Fan quickly burrowed underground to hide, and after a while he crawled out. He gritted his teeth and found the largest hole to crawl into.

As you delve into the mountainside, you find yourself on a massive slope.

After examining the area, Gu Fan noticed many collapsed buildings, suggesting that there was a market town on the celestial ship.

Unfortunately, after a cursory inspection, all the buildings were empty, and there were traces of carving and quarrying, indicating that they had been looted countless times.

Gu Fan followed the slope downhill and suddenly saw a statue that had collapsed halfway.

The statue was a hundred feet tall, and even when it collapsed, it still resembled a mountain.

The statue depicts a beautiful young woman with a human body, a snake's tail, and wings on her back, exuding a strange and wonderful beauty.

Just then, a loud explosion interrupted Gu Fan's thoughts.

Gu Fan suddenly realized what was happening and dared not look directly at the statue anymore.

"Does the senior know who this statue represents?"

Chang Yuan clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "I have never seen anything like it before, but to be able to erect a statue here, it must be some kind of immortal."

Gu Fan carefully bypassed the statue and discovered a stone gate that was ten feet high.

As Gu Fan stepped through the stone gate, his view suddenly opened up.

Chang Yuan laughed heartily: "Sure enough, that's the power plant of the immortal ship. Be careful not to get too close!"

Gu Fan looked in the direction of the sound.

In the distance, a towering structure, hundreds of feet tall and engulfed in golden flames, stood, its flames shooting straight into the sky. A malevolent aura was continuously gathering from the tower before suddenly exploding.

A blinding burst of light and heat erupted, and Gu Fan felt as if he were witnessing a nuclear explosion.

A heatwave erupted from the tower, sweeping outwards.

"You call this a furnace?"

Gu Fan's pupils contracted, and without thinking, he turned and ran. The scorching storm followed closely behind, as if it wanted to devour him.

After running out of the stone gate, Gu Fan had a sudden idea. He hid under the base of the statue and used the Sunset Bell to protect his body.

The next instant, a heat wave swept across the base, and even with the magical artifact protecting him, Gu Fan still felt his skin burning hot.

But at that moment, Gu Fan keenly noticed that within the blazing wave of malevolent energy, there was actually a trace of golden light!

A golden radiance, like an aurora borealis, rapidly flew outwards amidst the dark red storm of malevolent energy.

"The primordial energy of the mysterious female!"

Gu Fan's eyes widened, and he was about to reach out to catch it, but before he could even use the Qi Gathering Technique, the Xuanpin Ancestral Qi flashed by and disappeared with the storm.

Clenching his fists in frustration, Gu Fan forcibly suppressed his disappointment and did not chase after the storm.

"If we don't catch them this time, we'll wait for the next big outbreak."

With that in mind, Gu Fan simply squatted down under the divine general's base, planted array flags to set up a protective array, and then made a hand seal, ready to absorb qi at any time.

The so-called Qi gathering method is essentially about using one's divine sense as a guide, like fishing, to capture the existence of Qi, and then retrieving it with one's divine sense.

If one's spiritual awareness is not sharp enough or strong enough, the efficiency of gathering Qi will be extremely low, and it is even possible to fail on the first try.

Fortunately, Gu Fan didn't need to worry about the strength of his divine sense. The only thing that bothered him was that the Xuanpin Ancestral Qi was escaping too quickly because he was deep inside the immortal ship.

If one were to gather Qi outside the Immortal Ship, the intensity of the storm would decrease, making it much easier to capture the Mysterious Female Ancestral Qi. However, the area outside the Immortal Ship is vast, and whether or not one can find the Mysterious Female Ancestral Qi depends entirely on luck.

And so, Gu Fan squatted under the base of the statue for two hours, and finally heard another loud bang.

Gu Fan immediately tensed up, his eyes gleaming, and his divine sense spread out.

The next instant, a dark red storm swept overhead, and Gu Fan keenly caught a glimpse of golden light.

Without the slightest hesitation, he formed the Treasure Vase Mudra with both hands and suddenly thrust them towards the golden light. The golden light trembled for a moment before floating down and landing in his palm.

Gu Fan quickly sealed it into a jade bottle, and laughed heartily as he touched the warm, smooth jade bottle.

"The ancestral energy of the Mysterious Female has been obtained!"
