To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Outside Fallen Phoenix Valley, the sky was clear and blue.

Nearly a hundred Lingxiao Sect disciples were scattered like ants in the spiritually rich valley.

Just then, a dark, eerie cloud suddenly appeared on the horizon.

Within the demonic clouds, the Xuan Snake merged with the Dharma Image, its face covered in snake scales, and it opened its mouth to spew out a stream of dark green poisonous mist.

His idea was brilliant. Once the poisonous fog spread, it would not only conceal their presence but also inflict significant damage on low-level cultivators.

"Enemy attack!"

The sudden attack startled the Lingxiao Sect disciples, but they quickly remembered Gu Fan's arrangements and fled towards the Yunmeng Boat.

The next moment, Chen Zhiyan and Lin Wan solemnly took off from the Yunmeng Boat.

"It's a Xuan Snake!" Chen Zhiyan's face immediately turned ugly.

That very day, the black serpent attacked the magic boat he was protecting, forcing him to abandon it and flee.

Standing beside Chen Zhiyan, Lin Wan remained expressionless and took a step forward, charging towards the Xuan Snake.

"You fiend, now that you're here, you're not leaving!"

As Lin Wan finished speaking, a six-petaled crystal jade flower flew out from her dantian.

The poisonous fog, upon slight contact with the jade flower, was absorbed into it as if a hundred rivers were flowing into the sea.

After absorbing the poisonous mist, the Jade Flower's spiritual light became even stronger. Suddenly, it multiplied into two, then four, transforming into countless phantoms that converged into a torrent as if blown away by the wind, surging back towards the Black Serpent.

The black serpent's face was filled with horror, and at the same time, a trace of resentment.

If his natal magic weapon had not been damaged, he would still be at the late stage of the Golden Core realm. Facing Lin Wan, he would not be fearless, but at least he would not be at a disadvantage.

He had also heard of the Jade Flower; it was the Six Phases Flower, Lin Wan's natal magic treasure that made him famous far and wide.

The Six-Phase Flower is a single flower with six phases, capable of absorbing attacks of six types: metal, fire, water, wind, thunder, and poison, transforming all forms of magic into vitality, and defending against enemies invisibly.

Unless his attack exceeds the limits of the Six-Phase Flower's endurance, it cannot be broken!

As the rain of flowers swept towards him, the black serpent took a deep breath and spat out a small three-legged cauldron.

The small cauldron is dark purple all over, with a serpent and cloud pattern carved on the mouth. Dark green poisonous mist faintly seeps out from between the serpent scale patterns, and dozens of poisonous insect patterns are carved on the belly of the cauldron.

This is the Myriad Poisons Heart-Corroding Cauldron, a magical artifact that Xuan She reforged after her natal magic treasure was destroyed.

Unfortunately, although the Ten Thousand Poisons Heart-Eating Cauldron was quite powerful, it could not be nurtured for long and was no match for the Six Phases Flower.

The rain of flowers fell on the Myriad Poisons Corroding Heart Cauldron, making a crisp sound like raindrops. Even though the Xuan Snake kept pouring in its magic power, it was forced to retreat step by step, but it managed to withstand the rain of flowers.

Xuan She was, after all, a Grand Master in the late Golden Core stage, and his performance far surpassed that of the mid-Golden Core stage.

Seeing this, Lin Wan raised her hand and cast a hand seal.

Suddenly, the rain of flowers gathered together, like falling meteors, and crashed into the Myriad Poisons Corroding Heart Cauldron.

The black serpent, struck by the attack, coughed up a mouthful of blood, gritted its teeth, glared at Lin Wan, and then suddenly turned and fled into the distance.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!"

Lin Wan stepped on the Six Phases Flower, transforming into a jade-colored streak of light as she chased after the direction the Xuan Snake had gone.

Despite the excruciating pain in his lungs, the black serpent's eyes gleamed with cunning.

Although Lin Wan is strong, he was once a Grand Master in the late Golden Core stage. Even if he cannot fight him head-on, he can hold out for a long time.

A moment later, a beam of jade light struck from behind. The black snake struggled to twist around, but was still grazed by the Six Phases Flower, which immediately opened a bloody gash, from which blood gushed out.

The black snake cursed in pain, "Damn old bastard, do you not care about the lives of your disciples?"

As soon as the words were spoken, roars of lions, cries of monkeys, and howls of leopards rang out from all around Falling Phoenix Valley, and three demonic beasts, accompanied by demonic winds, rushed towards Falling Phoenix Valley.

Lin Wan's expression immediately changed, but she remained calm; the Six-Phase Flower's radiance simply became even more dazzling.

"You should worry about yourself."

Xuan She was taken aback upon hearing this, and then saw an earth-yellow light curtain rise outside Luo Feng Valley.

"Damn it, it's a formation!" Xuan She's face was extremely ugly.

Upon seeing the formation, the Black Serpent realized that its mission was about to fail.

That is indeed the case.

After discovering the White Bone Altar, Gu Fan immediately set up a third-order formation around Falling Phoenix Valley—the Profound Yellow Thick Earth Formation.

Although the Xuanhuang Thick Earth Formation is a low-grade third-order formation, its advantage is that it is easy to set up and is enough to block a Golden Core cultivator from bombarding it for half a day.

The first group to arrive at Falling Phoenix Valley were all elite disciples of the Lingxiao Sect. Even if they were to suffer some losses in the battles with demonic beasts in the future, Gu Fan was absolutely unwilling to let anything happen to them at the sect's base.

After forming his core, Gu Fan's divine sense was nourished by his cultivation and leaped forward again, successfully breaking through to the sixth level. He could now visualize forty-two stars. Unfortunately, the difficulty of the "Star Evolution Divine Observation Method" changed drastically after breaking through to the sixth level, requiring him to visualize one hundred and eight stars to achieve perfection.

Even so, his divine sense could already cover more than ten miles.

The moment the demonic beast appeared, he sensed it and activated the Xuanhuang Thick Earth Formation.

The earthen-yellow light screen rose up, catching the three demonic beasts off guard. The spells they had prepared collided with the light screen, producing only a few resounding sounds before the light screen trembled and returned to normal.

The three demonic beasts weren't stupid; they immediately realized it was futile and prepared to retreat and escape.

But Gu Fan refused.

"Come and go as you please?"

Gu Fan snorted coldly and stepped out of the thick earth formation, chasing after the demonic beast.

This move not only surprised the three demonic beasts, but also startled Chen Zhiyan. Then, he suddenly thought of something, rushed out after Gu Fan, opened his mouth and spat out a golden knife, which he slashed down at the scorpion-tailed lion.

Although the three demonic beasts were only at the early stage of the third tier, they outnumbered and outmatched Gu Fan, who dared to charge at them alone.

Upon seeing this, the three demonic beasts were immediately enraged.

The white ape roared and turned around, each of its four arms condensing a ball of mysterious light, which it then tossed towards Gu Fan.

The Firescale Leopard then tilted its head back and spat out several fireballs.

Unexpectedly, Gu Fan raised his hand, and a bolt of lightning flashed across his arm, suddenly revealing a giant snake ten feet long, which was Chang Yuan himself.

Chang Yuan's brow furrowed with divine markings, and in an instant, several golden lightning bolts shot out, shattering the mystical light emitted by the white ape and striking the ape's body, causing it to stiffen.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chang Yuan leaped forward and bit the white ape's neck with his large mouth.

The white ape seemed to lose all its strength in an instant, collapsing weakly to the ground.

On the other side, Gu Fan neither dodged nor avoided the Fire Scale Leopard's attack, and with a stomp of his foot, he activated the Blazing Fire Heaven-Burning Formation.

In an instant, the fire-attribute spiritual energy within a radius of a hundred feet was mobilized, and the fireball spewed out by the fire-scaled leopard trembled a few times before shattering.

Then, Gu Fan held the Returning Origin Furnace in his hand and released a beam of Taihao Xuan light.

The Taihao Xuanguang light, like a sharp sword, flashed down and disappeared across the Fire Scale Leopard's neck.

The next instant, the headless corpse was thrown out and crashed to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the two third-tier demonic beasts were beheaded, which terrified the scorpion-tailed lion. It turned around without a second thought and lashed out with its venomous tail like lightning, forcing Chen Zhiyan to retreat.

Chen Zhiyan quickly recalled his golden sword to parry. After blocking the poisonous tail, he saw that the lion demon had turned into dust and fled into the distance, having actually escaped by cutting off its tail.

Upon sensing the disappearance of the white ape and the fire-scaled leopard, the black serpent flew into a rage, cursing under its breath, "Useless!"

But before he could even get angry, the Six-Phase Flower had already attacked him.

The spiritual light of the Myriad Poisons Heart-Corroding Cauldron dimmed slightly after this blow, and the Xuan Snake itself was even more agitated.

In the critical moment, the black serpent finally made up its mind, transformed into a streak of blood light and fled into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Blood Escape Technique?"

Lin Wan frowned.

Once the Blood Escape Technique is used, one can escape several miles away, but it requires a large amount of essence blood. After this battle, the Xuan Snake will need to recuperate for a long time, but it will be unable to pursue the enemy.

With a helpless sigh, Lin Wan withdrew the Six Phases Flower and turned back to Falling Phoenix Valley.

Outside Fallen Phoenix Valley, Chen Zhiyan's face flushed red, feeling utterly ashamed.

Of the three demonic beasts, Gu Fan and Chang Yuan each left one behind, while he alone let his opponent escape, making the contrast all the more obvious.

Gu Fan, however, had no time to pay attention to Chen Zhiyan. He happily cut open the Fire Scale Leopard's belly and took out a fiery red golden pill.

"Just when I was about to fall asleep, a pillow appeared. I just don't know how to refine this golden elixir."

Thinking this, Gu Fan turned to look at Chang Yuan.

Beneath Chang Yuan, the white ape was nothing but a skin; its flesh, blood, and essence had been completely devoured by Chang Yuan.

Chang Yuan seemed to have eaten his fill, his body suddenly shrank, and he wrapped his arms around Gu Fan's forearm again.

"Don't say I didn't take care of you; I've still saved that white ape's golden core for you."

Gu Fan stepped forward and, sure enough, pulled a golden pill out of the pouch.
