As everyone knows, the Transformation Spirit Sect's cultivation method is based on the idea of ​​transforming into a true spirit. If one wants to gain the favor of a true spirit, the cultivator's walking, sitting, lying down, and even preferences must not violate the taboos of the true spirit.

During the Three Sects Dharma Assembly, Gu Fan learned that Cai Xuan was quite skilled at pleasing the true spirits, but he did not know which spirit she was specifically worshipping.

"It's Master Taifeng!"

Seeing Gu Fan hesitate, Cai Xuan announced the result with a smile.

Upon hearing this, not only Gu Fan showed surprise, but even Chang Yuan was somewhat astonished, transmitting his voice: "This little girl has quite the ambition; she actually worships Tai Feng."

"Does Senior know Tai Feng?" Gu Fan asked curiously.

Chang Yuan said helplessly, "At my peak, I was only at the Refinement of Void Realm. How could I possibly be on par with Tai Feng?"

Gu Fan recalled the records about Tai Feng and nodded.

There are also differences in strength among true spirits. The weak ones are no more than the Refining Void Realm, while the strong ones, like Yinglong, are not far from becoming immortals.

Legend has it that Tai Feng has a human head, a fox body, and a fox tail. He can control good fortune and his status is above average, even surpassing that of Lu Ling, the patriarch of the Hualing Sect, who possesses a nine-colored divine deer.

However, worshipping a true spirit is not about the higher its rank, the better. The higher the rank of the true spirit, the more difficult it is to borrow its power, just like the different grades of the Lingxiao Sect's cultivation techniques.

Cai Xuan was very satisfied with Gu Fan's reaction and said proudly, "Our cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Sect can imitate some of the divine abilities of True Spirit Lords after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. Although it's just imitation, and it's not a blessing from the True Spirit Lord himself, the power is less than one ten-thousandth of it, and it's also somewhat unstable, but sometimes it's quite effective!"

Listening to this, Gu Fan couldn't tell whether Cai Xuan was showing off or complaining, and laughed, "So this opportunity was due to the supernatural power taking effect?"

Caixuan did not nod immediately upon hearing this, but frowned slightly and said, "To be honest, I don't know either."

"The supernatural power I imitated could bring me some good fortune, so I prayed to obtain the ancestral energy of the Mysterious Female, but I never found it. Instead, the backlash came first."

"Backlash?" Gu Fan asked in surprise, looking at Cai Xuan, only to find that she had no injuries.

Caixuan shrugged and said helplessly, "The backlash from worshipping different true spirit masters is different. The backlash from imitating Master Taifeng's supernatural powers is getting lost."

"Tsk, as expected, there's no such thing as free power."

Gu Fan sighed inwardly and tentatively asked, "So that's why you came here, fellow cultivator?"

Caixuan nodded silently.

But soon, Caixuan became excited: "Although I didn't find the ancestral energy of the Xuanpin, I discovered a secret chamber!"

"But there was still a formation left outside the secret room, which I couldn't open. I also triggered the puppet and was chased far away. I only got here not long after shaking off the puppet."

Gu Fan also became interested.

The fairy boat has been looted countless times, yet Caixuan managed to find the secret room. Her good fortune is truly extraordinary!

After the two discussed for a while, Caixuan took out a jade slip.

Seeing Gu Fan's puzzled expression, Cai Xuan smiled sheepishly and said, "I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find the secret room again after leaving, so I recorded the escape route in the jade slip."

Gu Fan immediately understood and followed Cai Xuan around in circles.

Along the way, Caixuan did not just follow the passage inside the fairy boat, but also occasionally squeezed into the cracks and fell down. The route was very winding, and Gu Fan was surprised that she got here.

An hour later, the two arrived at a stone wall that had partially collapsed.

Looking through the cracks in the stone wall, one could see a spacious room about ten feet in diameter behind it. At the far end of the room was a sealed door, guarded by two jet-black puppets.

Surprisingly, when Gu Fan compared the location with the structural diagram of the immortal ship in his mind, he found that this place was not on the diagram. He could only confirm it by its orientation, which indicated that it was roughly directly below the power furnace.

Looking at the broken part of the stone wall, there were no signs of weathering. Gu Fan guessed that it was this eruption that broke the stone wall, exposing the stone gate behind it.

What surprised Gu Fan even more was that this stone wall could actually block the detection of divine sense.

If you close your eyes and search with your divine sense only, the stone chamber in front of you seems to not exist unless there is a gap in it.

"Not only are they protected by puppets, but they're also hidden by formations!"

Gu Fan immediately began to look forward to the opportunity presented by the stone gate.

The two puppets were not humanoid, but ferocious beasts with the bodies of lions and the faces of beasts. They had many horns on their heads, wings growing from their shoulders, and sturdy limbs, and sat on square bases.

Over time, the two puppet beasts were covered in corrosion marks, and Gu Fan could even see the exposed restricted loops.

"Fellow Daoist, be careful! Although these two puppets are almost out of spiritual energy, they are still very strong. If I hadn't run fast, you wouldn't have seen me!" Cai Xuan warned cautiously from outside the stone wall.

Gu Fan nodded, then frowned and began to observe with his Myriad Manifestations Divine Eye.

The good news is that the array on the stone gate is somewhat damaged. It was originally powered by a power furnace, and it is quite remarkable that it has been able to operate on its own for so many years after the power furnace was damaged and the transmission line was broken.

The bad news is that although the two puppet beasts have suffered a severe loss of spiritual energy, the pressure they perceive with their divine sense is in no way inferior to that of Wu Chengdao, and may even be slightly stronger.

The bad news is that although the two puppet beasts have suffered a severe loss of spiritual energy, the pressure they perceive with their divine sense is in no way inferior to that of Wu Chengdao, and may even be slightly stronger.

With two burly Wu Chengdao guarding the door, things were really difficult.

If we launch a direct attack, in addition to the puppet beasts, we might also trigger the formation, which would be even more dangerous.

"Fellow Daoist Caixuan, how did you escape earlier?" Gu Fan asked telepathically.

It wasn't that he underestimated Caixuan, but with two puppet beasts attacking at the same time, it would be no easy feat for Caixuan to escape unscathed.

Cai Xuan was slightly lost in thought. After recalling for a moment, she said, "Although these two puppet beasts are strong, they cannot distinguish between reality and illusion. They will also prioritize attacking targets that are close to the stone gate. After I manifested my Dharma form, the puppet beasts went after the Dharma form, and only one chased after me."

"I used my protective magic artifact to withstand the attack for a while, then summoned my Dharma form and took the opportunity to escape."

After saying this, Caixuan showed a distressed expression, clearly indicating that the magical artifact was seriously damaged.

Gu Fan's eyes lit up immediately, and he waved his hand to release a ball of flame.

Crimson flames poured onto the ground like water, then rose up and transformed into a blurry clone.

This clone was formed from the Six Ding Divine Fire, a simplified application of the Flame God General's Dharma Form.

Gu Fan directed his clone to pass through the stone wall. As soon as it landed, a puppet beast suddenly moved and pounced on the clone.

The flame clone was immediately torn apart, and the remaining flames transformed into fire snakes, which burrowed into the corroded traces on the puppet beast's body.

The next instant, the puppet beast looked at Gu Fan and the other person.

When the fiery clone was torn apart, Gu Fan felt a sharp pain in his divine sense.

The one who controlled the flame clone was a wisp of his divine consciousness. As the flame clone was destroyed, that wisp of divine consciousness was also destroyed.

The two puppet beasts moved at the same time, but Gu Fan raised his hand and released a large amount of spiritual fire. One by one, the fire clones stood up and rushed towards the puppet beasts.

The puppet beast remained fearless, wielding its sharp claws to kill the fiery clones one by one.

Gu Fan gritted his teeth and endured the intense pain, replenishing his flame clones once more. At the same time, he used his Myriad Manifestations Eye to observe the restricted circuits exposed by the puppet beast.

Once Caixuan's Dharma form is destroyed, her cultivation will be greatly damaged, but her flame clone will not affect her cultivation, only her divine sense.

Fortunately, Gu Fan's spiritual sense was quite strong, and he could barely withstand such a drain.

One after another, the fiery clones shattered under the puppet beast's claws. Just as Gu Fan felt his head throbbing and was about to give out, one of the puppet beasts suddenly stopped moving and stumbled to the ground.

Another puppet beast followed closely behind.

Gu Fan watched this scene and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"That's it?" Caixuan looked incredulous.

Gu Fan smiled slightly.

The flame clones seemed to be easily killed by the puppet beast, but each wisp of flame burrowed into the puppet beast's body through the broken parts, precisely burning the restricted circuit under the guidance of the Myriad Manifestations Eye.

The Six Ding Divine Fire is naturally suitable for smelting spiritual materials. After the restriction is broken, the puppet beast will no longer be able to move.

After Gu Fan got up and crawled into the stone wall, he turned to Cai Xuan and asked, "You found the secret chamber, fellow Daoist. How about we split these two puppets equally?"

Although the puppet beast is damaged, the crafting method inside is a treasure!

Moreover, it must contain an energy core, enough to support its operation for many years, and its value must be considerable.

Caixuan readily agreed and even let Gu Fan choose first.

Gu Fan selected a puppet beast and put it away, intending to return to the Lingxiao Sect to study it further. Then he looked up and examined the stone gate in front of him.

The stone gate is carved with fine and intricate lines, outlining the pattern of a divine tree with countless branches connecting to the surrounding walls.

Six fruits hung on the sacred tree, slightly protruding.
