To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Upon seeing Chang Yuan's reaction, Gu Fan knew that the Three-Leaf Spirit Grass was a valuable item.

The last thing that made him value it so much was the Primordial Chaos Embryo.

Su Nanzhi was startled and immediately pulled her hand back.

Gu Fan reacted quickly, grabbing Chang Yuan's tail and pulling him back.

"Boy, let me go!" Chang Yuan shouted telepathically, "There are three Soul-Gathering Grass pieces. You only need to eat one so I can help you. Giving you one is perfectly reasonable!"

"Then you should at least tell me what the effects of this spiritual herb are, right?"

As Gu Fan asked the question, he pulled Chang Yuan back and looked at Su Nanzhi apologetically, saying, "The spirit beast was a little excited, please forgive it, fellow Daoist."

Su Nanzhi's lips twitched slightly, but she didn't say anything.

If she hadn't been on her guard, Chang Yuan would have actually bitten into the spiritual herb.

Chang Yuan gave a regretful snort and said, "This is Soul-Gathering Grass. Its function is naturally to nourish the divine sense. Just by consuming one leaf, one can slowly and persistently strengthen the divine sense."

"What if you eat all three slices?"

"One pill at a time is enough; taking more will only waste the medicinal properties." Chang Yuan shook his head, then suddenly reminded him, "However, if you want to maximize the medicinal properties, you can consider the method I told you before: using the Taixu Divine Wind to temper your divine sense. The Soul-Gathering Grass nourishes the divine sense, and then being tempered by the Taixu Divine Wind will allow the medicinal properties to be quickly released, ensuring that not a single drop is wasted."

Gu Fan nodded slightly and looked at Su Nanzhi, saying, "Each person only needs to take one Soul-Gathering Grass. Fellow Daoist, you can take one for yourself, and the rest are mine, how about that?"

Su Nanzhi asked with some skepticism, "Fellow Daoist, do you recognize this spiritual herb?"

She didn't actually know the Soul-Gathering Grass, but she knew that every opportunity that appeared in the trial was extraordinary.

For example, the Gu family, through the fortuitous opportunity found by their predecessors in the Moon Court Trials, cultivated a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, who even possessed a slight possibility of advancing to the Immortal Clan.

Considering her family's predicament, Su Nanzhi was absolutely unwilling to give up.

So, relying on a concealment artifact, she risked sneaking into the floating island to pick Soul-Gathering Grass. She thought she could leave unnoticed, but she was still discovered by the Fire Spirit leader.

Gu Fan didn't hold back and explained the uses of the Soul-Gathering Grass to Su Nanzhi.

As for the effects of the Taixu Divine Wind, I'll mention them together after some hesitation.

The Divine Wind of the Void is not commonly seen. Chang Yuan spoke with great conviction, indicating that he had already made up his mind to try this method. He mentioned it in advance to avoid surprising Su Nanzhi.

Su Nanzhi had obviously tried using her divine sense as well, and upon hearing Taixu Shenfeng's words, she looked at Gu Fan with curiosity in her eyes.

The two were of similar cultivation levels, but what Gu Fan said was something she had never heard of before.

Afterwards, Gu Fan climbed to the top of the floating island.

Looking down from the mountaintop, he discovered that the floating island was actually a volcano, and the Xuan Yin Heavenly Fire was erupting from the crater. The Soul-Gathering Grassland was growing on the mountainside.

The Xuan Yin Heavenly Fire in the Guiyuan Furnace was slightly weakened after being refined, so Gu Fan prepared to collect some more.

The Xuan Yin Heavenly Fire on the floating island is inexhaustible. Even if the fire spirit is killed today, it will be reborn as long as the floating island exists.

Just as Gu Fan was gathering the Profound Yin Heavenly Fire, the clouds above his head gradually began to condense and churn.

Gu Fan looked up in surprise: "There are lightning tribulations on floating islands too?"

He had assumed that the floating island, like the stone platform in the first level, would allow cultivators to rest there.

Now it seems that the Cloud Sea Maze is even more cruel than he imagined.

Su Nanzhi, standing to the side, frowned upon hearing this and said, "The rules here seem to only apply to cultivators. The fire spirit dwells here but has not attracted a lightning tribulation. It seems that we are being forced to quickly comprehend the Dao of Yin and Yang, the cycle of birth and death."

"Oh, by the way, I haven't yet told you how to pass the trial."

Su Nanzhi added, "To pass the trial, one needs to thoroughly comprehend the principles of Yin and Yang's birth and death, and then calculate the direction of movement based on the flow and decay of Yin and Yang spiritual energy. Fellow Daoist is a cultivator of a different path, so I will leave this matter to you. However..."

At this point, Su Nanzhi looked embarrassed.

"But what?" Gu Fan asked.

"With my current level of cultivation, it will take me two hours to calculate the result."

Su Nanzhi seemed a little embarrassed, and her voice grew softer and softer.

Gu Fan pondered for a moment and understood Su Nanzhi's meaning, confirming, "Fellow Daoist, do you want me to shield you from the heavenly tribulation?"

Su Nanzhi nodded slightly, seemingly afraid that Gu Fan would misunderstand, and quickly said, "It doesn't need to be too long, just an hour will do!"

In fact, this was the real reason why she did not choose to run away.

After discovering the way to pass the level, she had already tried it, but the arrival of the heavenly tribulation caused her to fail. In order to avoid the heavenly tribulation, she had no choice but to keep moving, and just then she discovered the floating island.

If she hadn't met Gu Fan, she probably would have perished here.

Gu Fan pondered for a moment, looked at the clouds in the sky, and nodded, "Okay!"

After discussing it for a while, the two got up and left the floating island, only to return after the lightning subsided.

To deduce the birth and death of Yin and Yang, one must be fixed in one place and withstand the tribulation lightning. Previously, Gu Fan was in the sea of ​​clouds, with nothing around him, and had nowhere to hide from the tribulation lightning.

But it's a completely different story on the floating islands!

The floating islands can support the continuous burning of the Xuan Yin Heavenly Fire, so the spiritual energy is naturally not weak. They are also grounded and can be used to set up array plates.

With his mastery of array formations, it wouldn't be impossible for him to set up the Lingxiao Sect's protective array, the Zhou Tianyun Forbidden Array!

Once Zhou Tianyun's restrictive array is activated, it is so powerful that even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to break unless a Deity Transformation Venerable personally intervenes.

He was even confident that he could withstand the lightning tribulation for seven days!

Of course, Su Nanzhi only needed an hour, saving him a lot of trouble.

A moment later, Su Nanzhi looked at Gu Fan, who was fiddling with the array flags, and exclaimed in surprise, "Fellow Daoist, you actually understand array formations?"

Gu Fan turned his head and chuckled, "How do you think I got into the Yin-Yang Hall, fellow Daoist?"

After speaking, Gu Fan explained his deal with Gu Qingyuan.

Su Nanzhi suddenly realized.

Just then, Gu Fan suddenly asked curiously, "I've heard that the difficulty of the trial varies from person to person. Given the situation in the Cloud Sea, I'm afraid Foundation Establishment cultivators will only face death, right?"

Su Nanzhi smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but the Trial Grounds of the Two Elements Hall are countless. The Trials for Foundation Establishment cultivators are naturally different from ours. Even Golden Core cultivators who enter at the same time may not be assigned to the same place."

"No wonder we've encountered so few cultivators along the way." Gu Fan nodded.

While the two were chatting, Gu Fan had already set up the formation.

Su Nanzhi dared not delay, so she simply sat down cross-legged on the spot, her right hand forming a mudra, the yin and yang energies fluctuating between her fingertips, her left hand making calculations, her fingers moving rapidly, her eyes sparkling with spiritual light, as she fell into deep thought.

Upon seeing this, Gu Fan waved the array flag, and instantly a light screen slowly rose up, merging with the Xuan Yin Heavenly Fire rising from the volcano, transforming into a burning bowl that covered the floating island below.

Tier 3, Superior Grade: Heaven-Burning Guardian Array.

The pale blue flames cast a magnificent blue hue over the floating island landscape.

Time ticked by, and right on cue, thunder roared from the sky.

A bolt of purple divine lightning, as thick as a wrist, struck the array barrier without causing the slightest ripple.

Gu Fan sat cross-legged on a futon, holding a formation flag in one hand. He even had the leisure to carve a table out of mountain stone, play with a wisp of Xuan Yin Heavenly Fire, brew a pot of spiritual tea, and sip it slowly.

Despite the apocalyptic scene of lightning and thunder overhead, it remained unmoved.

When Su Nanzhi came to her senses, this was the scene she saw.

His calm and composed demeanor as he sipped tea caught her eye, causing her to momentarily lose her composure.

"Fellow Daoist, have you finished your comprehension?" Gu Fan suddenly asked.

"Oh? Oh!" Su Nanzhi seemed to wake from a dream and quickly replied, "I have already understood. Thank you for your protection, fellow Daoist."

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized her cheeks were getting hot and quickly lowered her head.
