To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Good books are never stopped being updated, waiting for you to appreciate them.

As is widely known, the rules of the Chu Kingdom were established by the three great immortal clans.

The reason why only the three great immortal clans have Nascent Soul cultivators is that they make all the other clans submit to them.

Upon hearing Gu Fan's reply, Li Chunyang shook his head and smiled, "What you're saying is nothing more than common knowledge. The fact that the three great immortal clans have been able to pass down their lineage for thousands of years is far from simple."

"The Liangyi Hall is the source of cultivation in the Chu Kingdom. All cultivation techniques and secret arts originate from here. However, the true inheritance is not so easy to obtain. One must go through layers of trials. The ancestors of the three great immortal clans were the ones who went the furthest on their trials and successfully returned."

"Furthest?"

Gu Fan keenly caught the word.

Li Chunyang spoke of the farthest point, not the final destination. Coupled with the fact that the three great immortal clans gathered here, the deeper meaning behind it is self-evident.

"That's right, it's the furthest." Li Chunyang looked up at the high-hanging Liangyi Hall and said softly, "To this day, no one has been able to truly reach the end of the Liangyi Hall. Nascent Soul cultivators can cross the outer layer and enter the Liangyi Hall directly, but that's just taking the first step."

"Even Nascent Soul cultivators are no good?" Gu Fan asked in surprise.

Nascent Soul is the pinnacle of the Qionghua Realm.

If even Nascent Soul cultivators can't succeed, what hope do the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators present have?

However, Li Chunyang's words cleared up his doubts.

The cultivators from the three races present were at most at the late Golden Core stage, and the Nascent Soul True Monarchs had not yet appeared, apparently because they had already entered the Yin-Yang Hall.

Upon hearing this, Li Chunyang slowly shook his head and smiled, "The trials at the Liangyi Hall aren't simply a matter of higher cultivation levels; they adjust according to one's cultivation level. If it were only about cultivation, why bother setting up so many tests?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan suddenly recalled the time when he was completing the array at the Lingxiao Sect.

The test set up by Master Xuanji is merely to select the right person; the word "right" is the most important.

"Besides that, there is another reason why you shouldn't come in, fellow Daoist."

Seeing Gu Fan's puzzled look, Li Chunyang spread his hands and said, "I could tell on the day of the fire control competition that you are not a cultivator of the Taiji lineage. Although your fire control techniques have Yin and Yang variations, you have not grasped the essence of them."

"This place is the source of cultivation in the Chu Kingdom, and the lineage of the Taiji Dao Ancestor is naturally passed down. Unless you can disperse your cultivation here and start over, and transfer to the Taiji lineage, I'm afraid the lineage is destined to be out of your reach."

Gu Fan was stunned for a moment.

It must be admitted that Li Chunyang was absolutely right.

Even if he obtained the cultivation techniques in the Liangyi Hall, he would be unable to practice them.

Of course, this doesn't mean he's destined to go home empty-handed.

"It's alright. If there are any rare and precious materials, or spiritual roots like the Immortal Peach Tree, I wouldn't mind," Gu Fan said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Li Chunyang laughed heartily, patted Gu Fan on the shoulder, and said, "Then I wish you success in achieving your dream, fellow Daoist."

Gu Fan interrupted, "Fellow Daoist, you haven't said why you're not worried about perishing here."

Li Chunyang smiled and took out a thumb-sized piece of golden jade from his pocket, displaying it in his palm.

The golden jade was roughly cut, as if it had not undergone any processing, and lacked any sense of elegance or uniqueness.

"This is the Yin-Yang Stone, a treasure possessed only by the three great immortal clans. As long as you hold the Yin-Yang Stone and step onto the teleportation array of the Star Platform, you can directly arrive at the Moon Court. You can also crush it at any time and teleport it outside the Yin-Yang Palace. Of course, I am not worried about losing my life here."

"Unfortunately, the Yin-Yang Stones are becoming increasingly rare, and they can only be obtained through the trials at the Altar of the Sun. Therefore, the three clans have chosen only their elite disciples. As for the noble clans, they do not have any Yin-Yang Stones and can only fight their way through each level, risking their lives."

"However, it's not a dead end for them. If they're lucky, they can find a teleportation array during the Moon Court's trials and take the opportunity to teleport away. As far as I know, many aristocratic families have grown stronger in this way, such as the Gu family of Immortal Fate City that you mentioned."

Gu Fan nodded, immediately understanding why Gu Qingyuan had chosen to leave.

As for the "Sun Altar" mentioned by Li Chunyang, it must be the place reached through the Moon Court Trial.

Gu Fan was about to bow and express his gratitude when he was suddenly interrupted by a gasp.

The spiritual energy in the entire Moon Court suddenly surged, and the cultivators who were meditating and resting all stood up.

At the center of the Moon Court, Yin and Yang energies converged, as if a giant hand had shattered the void, tearing out a portal woven with black and white.

Li Chunyang's expression instantly turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "This is the gate to the trial. Fellow Daoist is the only person I have ever met whose fire control technique is on par with mine. That's why I've said so much to you. I hope we will meet again someday."

After saying this, Li Chunyang quickly walked back to the Li family cultivators.

The old man with white hair and a youthful face said something and immediately led the way into the doorway, disappearing in an instant.

The Li family followed one after another, followed by the Mo family and the Huang family.

Only at the very end did it come to the members of the aristocratic families.

Gu Fan stayed until the very end, because after Li Chunyang left, Chang Yuan, who was quietly wrapped around his arm, suddenly began to tremble.

"Senior, is there something wrong with this place?" Gu Fan asked telepathically.

"Not right? No, no, no, it's perfect!" Chang Yuan's voice trembled, the tip of his tail lightly flicking against Gu Fan's forearm, his tone incredibly excited, "I never imagined you'd have such a destiny with immortals!"

Gu Fan was taken aback and asked, "Senior, have you heard of the Yin-Yang Palace?"

Chang Yuan shook his head: "Although I have never heard of any Yin-Yang Palace, I am not blind. The ability to refine a small world in the void and leave behind a legacy may be a method left behind by some Mahayana cultivator before ascending to the Immortal Realm. If you can obtain a little bit of it, you will benefit immensely from it."

"Unfortunately, this place was left by cultivators of the Yin-Yang lineage, and it is not compatible with you and me."

"You haven't even heard of him, senior?" Gu Fan frowned. "Has the Qionghua Realm ever produced an immortal?"

Chang Yuan snorted and retorted, "This place is clearly in the void, probably far away from the Qionghua Realm. The methods of cultivators are far beyond our imagination."

"Who would have thought that such an opportunity could be hidden in a dilapidated place like Qionghua Realm, where spiritual energy is depleted!"

While the two were discussing, all the other cultivators had already entered the trial portal.

Seeing this, Gu Fan didn't hesitate and jumped in.

......

"Is this the trial of the Moon Court?"

Gu Fan landed on the ground, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily.

Before me lay a vast, empty canyon, the sky a hazy yellow, endless sandstorms swirling overhead, the gale howling like ghosts, whipping up sand and dust that lashed against the rock walls with a piercing sound.

On the rock walls on both sides of the canyon, many fine cracks have appeared, from which thick smoke is billowing out, in two colors: light blue and grayish black.

The grayish-black smoke resembled coal ash, and condensed into fine black frost after landing.

The pale blue fabric was as light and airy as gauze, floating in mid-air, and even before you got close, a scorching heat wafted over you.

Gu Fan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly summoned the Covering Cloud Umbrella and suspended it above his head. A dark golden light barrier instantly unfolded to protect his body, not daring to let the thick smoke touch him. Unexpectedly, the thick smoke touched the light barrier and passed right through it, as if it had not encountered any resistance. His robes did not stop it in the slightest.

In an instant, a thick, gray-black fog descended upon him, silently seeping into his meridians. Gu Fan felt his entire body turn icy cold, as if his meridians were frozen, and even the circulation of his magical power became sluggish.

Gu Fan quickly channeled his spiritual fire through his meridians, trying to expel the black mist.

But as the pale blue smoke enveloped him, Gu Fan's situation changed once again.

The pale blue smoke ignited instantly upon contact with the spiritual fire, just as kerosene ignited upon contact with an open flame. The scorching heat spread along his meridians, causing him excruciating pain. His internal magical power also began to surge restlessly, as if it would burst at any moment.

Gu Fan's expression changed drastically, and he quickly withdrew the spiritual fire.

However, with this withdrawal, the white and black mists in the meridians instantly lost their balance and collided directly, becoming wildly agitated, and a tearing pain instantly swept over the whole body.

Gu Fan couldn't help but groan, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Chang Yuan suddenly reminded him, "Boy, don't be fooled by appearances! This mist is not poisonous miasma, but the purest innate Yin-Yang essence, which nothing in the Yin-Yang realm can withstand. However, it contains extremely strong malevolent energy. If you can harmonize Yin and Yang and eliminate its malevolent nature, it will not only be harmless, but you can also refine it into your own Yin-Yang essence to use in refining your Golden Elixir, which will be of great benefit."

After saying that, Chang Yuan leaped out and circled around Gu Fan, absorbing and swallowing the surrounding smoke to create a safe space for him.

Upon seeing this, Gu Fan immediately patted his spirit beast pouch and released the gourd as well.

Hulu seemed to have just woken up, rubbing its eyes sleepily.

"Go and try it out, see if you can eat that thick smoke." Gu Fan pointed to the two-colored smoke.

The gourd inherited Chang Yuan's secret technique of devouring the heavens. Since Chang Yuan could eat it, the gourd might be able to as well.

Upon hearing the word "food," the gourd's eyes lit up, and it opened its mouth wide to inhale a wisp of smoke.

The gourd's belly suddenly swelled up, and it coughed repeatedly, spitting out two streams of flame.

"Eat slowly, don't eat too much at once." Gu Fan patted the back of the gourd twice.

The gourd turned around, nodded, and carefully began to swallow.
