To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Ziyun Palace.

Gu Fan sat cross-legged on the futon, the words of Master Xuanji echoing in his mind.

The so-called subtle and fleeting moments refer to the application and understanding of the true meaning of the Tao.

From the moment he entered the outer sect of the Lingxiao Sect to the moment his cultivation surpassed Chen Suzhen's, compared to geniuses with earth-grade spiritual roots like Lin Qian'er and Xu Changsheng, he only took a little longer to form his core.

On this basis, he was still able to take care of the three paths of talismans, weapons, and formations, which was already the result of his best efforts.

Although Master Xuanji didn't say it openly, he was extremely satisfied with him and went so far as to use his natal magic treasure, the Void Mirror, to create a true treasure twice, which shows how much he valued him.

Even though Gu Fan never completely relied on the Myriad Manifestations Eye, and each time he deduced the true meaning of the Dao after gaining insight into the origin, he not only knew what it was, but also why it was so. However, if he wanted to use the formation to its fullest potential, he still needed time to mature.

"The Great Luo Inner Landscape Heaven-Reaching Mysterious Chapter is a wonderful method of forming an array with one's own body. I also have a fire-attribute spiritual root. Therefore, my path should be on the path of fire-attribute arrays."

Gu Fan's eyes gleamed, and a dazzling golden flame suddenly flickered at his fingertips.

It is not the Samadhi True Fire, but the Dan Fire unique to Golden Core cultivators.

Strictly speaking, the Dan Fire is the original spiritual fire of cultivators. Although it does not have the unique effects of other spiritual fires, it is superior in that it is balanced, peaceful, and highly inclusive.

Gazing at the elixir fire at his fingertips, Gu Fan's divine sense stirred slightly.

The next instant, an array quietly unfolded, and the temperature in the quiet room suddenly rose.

Golden flames flickered and rose, seemingly burning through the void.

With a flick of his finger, Gu Fan caused the alchemical fire to instantly split into countless strands, rapidly traversing the quiet room, sometimes transforming into birds flapping their wings, and sometimes into spirit beasts galloping about.

A moment later, Gu Fan waved his hand, and the golden flames suddenly turned crimson.

Samadhi Fire!

With his previous experience, Gu Fan controlled the fire more flexibly, even causing the Samadhi True Fire to split into the Six Ding Divine Fire and the Six Jia Divine Fire at the same time. Two beams of fire, one gold and one silver, danced in the air, dazzling the eyes of onlookers.

Upon seeing this, Gu Fan laughed loudly, "That's it! It's done!"

The formation he just used was called the Fire Separation Formation, which is similar to the Cold Light Formation used by True Person Xuanji. Both are first-order formations.

The Fire Array, as its name suggests, absorbs the fire-attribute spiritual energy between heaven and earth, transforming it into flames to burn the enemies within the array.

With the blessing of the spiritual fire, the power of the Fire Array will be multiplied.

Gu Fan was already well aware of this knowledge, but his fire control technique was highly advanced, and he could make the flames move at will, with an effect no less than the Fire Separation Array, so there was no need to set up an array.

But the teachings of Master Xuanji enlightened him.

Previously, he could only control one type of spiritual fire at a time, but through the effect of the formation, he could now control multiple types of spiritual fire simultaneously, and even combine them.

Gu Fan stroked his chin, suddenly realizing, "Could this be considered as having mastered the Burning Flame Technique?"

After thinking for a while, Gu Fan shook his head and rejected the idea.

The essence of a formation is to use runes to control the flow of spiritual energy, thereby influencing or even rewriting the rules of heaven and earth in a region.

The purpose of the Fire Separation Array is not fusion, but to achieve control over the rules by leveraging the powerful origin of the spiritual fire.

The existence of spirit fires is to supplement Gu Fan's understanding of the Dao of Fire; each spirit fire is equivalent to a fragment of the Dao.

If one day Gu Fan fully comprehends the true meaning of fire, even without using spiritual fire, he can still burn the heavens and boil the seas with a flick of his palm.

"So, it seems we really have no choice but to go to the Abyss of Fallen Souls," Gu Fan thought to himself.

The ancient corpse in the Abyss of Fallen Souls wields the Netherworld Corpse Fire.

Jin Kui, a disciple of the Hundred Refinements Sect, controls the Spirit Void Nether Flame, which is also a powerful spiritual fire.

In addition, there is Li Kunyuan's Red Lotus Fire.

He didn't intend to seize the fire from Jin Kui and Li Kunyuan; he only needed to borrow a flame to comprehend its true meaning.

The Lingxiao Sect also records various methods for pursuing spiritual fire, which can be searched for in the future.

Thinking this, Gu Fan took out a sphere emitting a dark red light from the Azure Lion Ring. A faint heat emanated from it, which was the sealed Starfall Tribulation Fire.

The next chapter is even more exciting: Chapter 225, the Heaven-Burning Array of Blazing Fire. We look forward to your visit.

Before forming his core, Gu Fan had tried to refine the Starfall Tribulation Flame, but he was never able to succeed because his rank was too high.

Now that I've formed my core, it's a good time to give it a try.

With a flick of his finger, he let the dark red sphere float in front of him.

Gu Fan cast a hand seal, and the seal enveloping the Starfall Tribulation Fire suddenly shattered, causing flames exuding an aura of destruction to rise up.

Then, it opened its mouth and spat out the elixir fire.

The golden alchemical fire slowly approached the meteoric fire, carefully touching it and absorbing its essence.

As the primordial fire of cultivators, the Dan Fire is inherently highly inclusive. Visible to the naked eye, wisps of dark red fire energy permeate the Dan Fire, staining it with a layer of red.

When the meteoric fire was fully absorbed into the pill fire, Gu Fan focused his gaze, opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing the pill fire, which quickly circulated in his meridians. At the same time, he activated the "Swallowing Flames Returning to Origin" secret technique.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Fan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze seemingly burning with flames.

With a thought, the Fire Array reappeared.

However, the flames he controlled were no longer Samadhi True Fire, but rather dark red Starfall Calamity Fire.

Seeing this, Gu Fan nodded and muttered to himself:

"The method to strengthen combat power has been found. The next step is to enlighten the acupoints so that we can set up higher-level fire arrays at will and improve the types of spiritual fire we can control at the same time."

"The second-tier Blazing Fire Array, if I remember correctly, should be called... Blazing Fire Burning Heaven Array."

......

Spring flowers bloom and fade, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

For three years, Gu Fan remained secluded in the Ziyun Palace, causing Lin Qian'er to worry that he might have forgotten to help forge the magic weapon. She specially sent a maid to inquire about it.

Gu Fan said a few words, only saying that he had not forgotten and asked Lin Qian'er to wait patiently.

In the past three years, Gu Fan has done almost only one thing—to re-examine the cultivation manuals he had practiced and repeatedly ponder the true meaning of the Dao within them.

Believe it or not, you'll see results very soon.

"The Spirit Fire, after being integrated by the Heaven-Burning Array of Departing Fire, can command the Dao of Fire. What about the 'Crimson Sun Demon-Slaying Scripture'?"

This is the question that Gu Fan is pondering.

In fact, when he used the Crimson Sun Heavenly Sword, he condensed it with Samadhi True Fire, as did the Heavenly Fire Bath Robe and the advanced Divine General Dharma Image.

Since the Fire-Burning Heaven Array can harness the power of fire, is it feasible to use it to reshape the Crimson Sun Heavenly Sword?

Gu Fan even went so far as to wonder why it was necessary to visualize the Crimson Sun Heavenly Sword.

Since we are already contemplating in our sea of ​​consciousness and comprehending the true meaning of the Tao, why can't we go further?

With this in mind, Gu Fan made several attempts.

As expected, many of the initial attempts failed.

The overflowing spiritual fire nearly set Ziyun Palace ablaze, leaving Hou Wenzhao constantly on edge, fearing that he might be burned to ashes one day.

It wasn't until the third year that Gu Fan finally achieved something.

In the quiet room of Ziyun Palace, Gu Fan sat cross-legged on a futon with his eyes closed, a crimson Dharma image with three heads and six arms floating behind him.

This Dharma form is based on the visualization method of the "Red Sun Demon-Slaying Scripture" and is manifested by combining the fire control method of the Li Huo Array. So far, it is not the final form in Gu Fan's mind, and there are still many ideas that have not been tried.

Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the door.

Hou Wenzhao gently pressed the mechanism on the stone door, waking Gu Fan up.

Gu Fan quickly opened his eyes, and the Dharma image behind him instantly dissipated. He got up and opened the door to the meditation room, his expression somewhat solemn.

He knew that Hou Wenzhao was always steady and would never disturb him while he was in seclusion unless there was something important to discuss.

Sure enough, the moment Hou Wenzhao saw Gu Fan, he quickly said:

"Master, Uncle Zhou... is nearing his end."
