To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Compared to the previous star platform, the one under Gu Fan's feet was much smaller, only about thirty feet in circumference.

At the center of the Star Platform was still a gray palace, with no seals in front of the palace gates.

But just three zhang away from the palace, there lay a corpse that had been cut into three pieces, with a pool of blood beneath it.

The smell of blood that Gu Fan detected came from this source.

"A formation, or a killing formation?"

With Gu Fan's current mastery of array formations, he can discern the traces of array formations even without using his Myriad Manifestations Eye.

The blood was still fresh, indicating that the deceased had not been there long.

In other words, this person was teleported to this star platform before Gu Fan, but he neither understood the formation nor was able to pass through the killing formation.

Gu Fan took two steps forward, stopped ten feet away from the palace to observe for a moment, and then took a step forward.

The next instant, a cyan wind blade condensed in the air and slashed towards Gu Fan.

With a light tap of his foot, Gu Fan shifted his position, effortlessly brushing past the wind blade.

Just then, Gu Qingyuan emerged from the void, and before he could even stand firmly, he found wind blades coming straight at him.

Gu Qingyuan's pupils contracted instantly, and he fell to the ground without any grace.

The wind blade grazed the top of his head, severing a strand of hair.

Before Gu Qingyuan could even get up, he summoned the exquisite little pagoda and the jade ruler, glaring angrily at Gu Fan: "Fellow Daoist, what does this mean?"

Gu Fan was taken aback, but quickly realized that Gu Qingyuan probably thought he had released the wind blade. He explained in surprise, "Fellow Daoist, don't panic. I didn't release that wind blade. It was part of the formation here."

"An array?" Gu Qingyuan noticed the corpses on the ground and frowned.

Gu Fan nodded, took another step forward, unleashing a wind blade, and then used the same trick to dodge it.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyuan realized that he had misunderstood Gu Fan. It was just a coincidence that the wind blade had passed by the exact location where he had teleported.

"I misunderstood you, fellow Daoist."

Gu Qingyuan coughed lightly and cupped his hands in greeting.

"It's alright." Gu Fan waved his hand and turned around to study the formation.

Gu Qingyuan cautiously stepped forward and whispered, "Fellow Daoist, do you have a solution?"

Gu Fan slowly shook his head.

Gu Qingyuan took a deep breath and was speechless.

He pinned his hopes on Gu Fan's mastery of formations, but if Gu Fan couldn't even break this kind of formation, then there was no hope of obtaining the treasure.

Just as Gu Qingyuan was about to speak with a serious expression, Gu Fan suddenly smiled.

"This formation doesn't need to be broken."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Fan dodged to the side and then stepped into the area covered by the formation.

One step, two steps.

Gu Fan took seven steps in a row, but not a single wind blade came at him.

Gu Qingyuan let out a long breath and laughed loudly, "I knew it, a mere formation is a piece of cake for you, fellow Daoist."

Gu Fan smiled and pointed to the route he had taken, saying, "Fellow Daoist, just follow the path I've taken to enter."

Gu Qingyuan nodded and followed Gu Fan's directions, but the small glass tower remained suspended above his head, clearly not as reassuring as Gu Fan had said.

Gu Fan didn't expose his thoughts and strolled leisurely towards the palace.

This killing formation appears to seal off the palace, but in reality, it only attacks those who randomly intrude. In fact, there is a hidden path; one only needs to follow the designated route.

Of course, if you are confident in your abilities, you can force your way through.

This formation is only of Tier 2 strength. If you have a suitable defensive artifact, you can withstand the wind blade attacks and quickly escape into the palace.

If they are lucky enough, it's not impossible that they might actually discover the right path.

After experiencing the puppets and the killing array, Gu Fan realized that the dangers on the Star Platform were all methods useful to Foundation Establishment cultivators. In other words, the Yin-Yang Hall used this method to filter out unsuitable Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Thinking about this, Gu Fan began to speculate about the opportunities that might exist within the palace.

Sure enough, when he stepped into the palace, he saw a dark golden crystal floating on the same stone platform as before.

But the crystal is merely a container; what it holds is a wisp of primordial energy.

"A Foundation Establishment cultivator who breaks into the palace and obtains the Mysterious Female Ancestral Qi can exit the formation and attempt to form their Core."

"Those lacking strength will be killed, and those whose ambitions are not easily satisfied will voluntarily withdraw. The master of the Two Elements Palace is truly interesting."

Gu Fan's eyes flickered as he pondered.

Gu Qingyuan followed him into the palace and naturally saw the crystal on the stone platform. He cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on achieving your wish. This primordial primordial energy will belong to you as agreed."

"Thank you." Gu Fan bowed and stepped forward to remove and put away the crystal.

There were black and white magic arrays on both sides of the stone platform. Gu Fan didn't waste any time and walked in with ease.

In the following period, the two passed by several more star stations.

About half of them have already been explored, and the opportunities within the palaces have been taken away. However, the other half remains unexplored, either guarded by puppets or surrounded by illusion arrays, maze arrays, or killing arrays.

The puppets were mostly handled by Gu Qingyuan, while the array formations were handled by Gu Fan.

Along the way, the two also gained something from the palace, including four strands of Xuanpin Ancestral Qi, as well as two Yin-Yang Tokens.

Gu Qingyuan was quite generous with the ancestral energy of the Mysterious Female, but when he saw the Yin-Yang Token, he acted out of character and decisively took it into his possession.

Seemingly to compensate Gu Fan, he even took only a wisp of the primordial energy of the Xuanpin.

Gu Fan observed Gu Qingyuan's actions and thought to himself, "It seems the aristocratic families of Chu are particularly concerned about the circulation of the Yin-Yang Token. Without it, they will lose their qualification to enter the Yin-Yang Hall next time."

After Gu Qingyuan put away the Yin-Yang Token, the two stepped into the magic array again.

After slaying the puppets guarding the palace, Gu Qingyuan stepped forward and was stunned when he saw the interior of the palace.

In addition to a white magic circle, a golden magic circle was visible inside the palace!

"Fellow Daoist, we've found the magic array to enter the inner layer!"

Gu Qingyuan called out immediately.

Gu Fan entered the palace, a smirk playing on his lips as he looked at the golden magic array: "Finally found it!"

The two exchanged a smile and went inside without hesitation.

A flash of golden light, and Gu Fan and Gu Qingyuan appeared simultaneously.

The ground beneath my feet was no longer the hard white jade on the star platform, but had turned into damp mud.

The sky was overcast with thick, gloomy clouds, large clumps of gray mist gathering together to block out the light, as if a storm was brewing.

Looking out, there is a rolling mountain range with lush, verdant trees.

Amidst the shade of trees, a beam of light shot straight into the sea of ​​clouds, as if a deity was about to emerge.

Gu Qingyuan looked around, his eyes burning with desire as he gazed in the direction of the rosy light.

However, he didn't draw a conclusion. Instead, he turned to Gu Fan and asked, "The treasure's location should be in this mountain range. Have you found it, fellow Daoist?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan lightly touched the ground with his feet and leaped up, quickly landing on a thick tree.

"Tsk, not being able to fly is such a hassle."

He muttered a complaint to himself as he stood on a branch and gazed into the distance.

Two mountain ranges can be seen intersecting, one long and narrow, the other low and wide.

Between the two mountains, there is a clear river that stretches to the horizon.

"This world is so vast!" Gu Fan exclaimed in surprise.

The vastness of this place far surpasses that of a grotto-heaven; it is worthy of being called a small realm.

And there was clearly more than one such place. Gu Fan couldn't imagine what kind of cultivator could refine the Lesser Heaven into the Two Elements Palace.

Suppressing his shock, Gu Fan recalled the "Mysterious Ruins Earth Vein Map" and, after comparing it, quickly realized that the layout of this place was perfectly consistent with one of the layouts called "Turtle and Snake Coiling Formation".

There are three places in the mountain with the strongest spiritual light, which are suspected to be places where treasures are hidden:

The first spot is the "spiritual eye" on the turtle's back, with a dim yellow light, as if the earth's energy is hidden within.

The second spot is the snake's seven-inch mark, where spiritual light is condensed and seems to emit a cold glint.

The third place is where the tortoise and snake embrace each other. The waists of the two mountains intertwine and approach each other, yin and yang combine, and spiritual energy swirls like mist. The rosy clouds burst forth from this place.

Gu Fan looked at the place where the tortoise and snake were embracing, shook his head and chuckled, "If you don't understand formations, this is probably your first choice, and then... you probably won't even know how you died."

What appears to be the most likely place to hide treasure is actually a deadly place fraught with danger!

"Not only here, but all three places where the spiritual light shines brightest are actually disguised ominous locations!"

Gu Fan keenly discerned this, and then looked towards the spot where the turtle's head was protruding and the snake's tail was curling back.

The terrain there is low-lying, and there is a small lake. The spiritual energy is hidden and not revealed. If one does not understand the art of array formations, it will be difficult to identify. This place is the real treasure trove!
