To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

After the seal was broken, a faint spiritual energy rose from the bottle.

The bottle contained some pale purple liquid, totaling less than two ounces.

Gu Fan frowned slightly, searching his memory for information about the spiritual liquid, and only after a long time did he find a similarity.

"Could this be... the Elixir of Dreams?"

The Dream Nectar is not artificially produced, but rather produced by a rare flower called "Qiluo Dream".

The Qiluo Youmeng flower ranks ninety-eighth on the list of rare flowers. Legend has it that this flower absorbs the essence of the sun and moon and gathers a spiritual liquid at its heart. Drinking this liquid can refine it into pure magic power, with effects comparable to top-grade spiritual medicine.

In the Qionghua Realm, spiritual herbs that can be used to refine third-order pills are becoming increasingly rare, and even in the Lingxiao Sect, they are hard to come by. Although there wasn't much of the Dreamy Elixir in the jade bottle, Gu Fan was already quite satisfied.

"I never expected that such rare flowers would grow in the Liangyi Hall."

"Unfortunately, I've already been delayed in the Cloud Sea for too long. I can only find another opportunity to refine it later." Gu Fan thought to himself, happily putting the Dream Nectar into his Azure Lion Ring.

Gu Fan's joy vanished after checking the condition of the Covering Cloud Umbrella.

In the previous battle, the Cloud-Covering Umbrella withstood three rounds of attacks, causing the cloud barrier to collapse and its spiritual light to dim.

Fortunately, it was not severely damaged. It can be restored by nourishing it in the dantian day and night, but it cannot be used for a short period of time.

"Tsk! How come a dignified immortal cultivator doesn't even have a defensive magic weapon!"

Gu Fan took a light breath and shook his head.

Su Nanzhi smiled and said, "The Huang family's Yin-Yang Profound Shield is a top-level secret technique, and Taiji lineage cultivators are skilled in defense. In order to make up for their lack of offensive power, most Chu Kingdom cultivators refine spiritual materials into offensive magic weapons. It is only natural that they do not have defensive magic weapons."

"Fellow Daoist, the power of that spell you unleashed was truly astonishing; it almost pierced through the Yin-Yang Profound Shield!"

Su Nanzhi still felt a chill when she recalled Taihao Xuanguang.

Gu Fan nodded.

The Yin-Yang Mystic Shield's defense was indeed unexpectedly tough.

He unleashed the full power of the Taihao Profound Light without holding back; if it were him, he would never have been able to withstand it head-on.

But Huang Yuanqi accepted it anyway!

Gu Fan was merely expressing his regret over the damage to the Covering Clouds Umbrella; it was just a spontaneous remark.

After collecting his spoils, Gu Fan swallowed a Green Wood Pill, feeling the vitality coursing through his lungs, repairing his damaged flesh and meridians, and a sense of comfort spreading through him.

Just as the two were about to set off, Gu Fan noticed a movement coming from the spirit beast pouch.

He thought it was Chang Yuan who had woken up, but when he looked down, he saw it was a gourd.

Gu Fan casually untied the spirit beast pouch, took out the gourd that was rubbing its eyes, and patted its fluffy head a couple of times.

Hulu, just waking up from a deep dream, was full of energy and immediately pounced into Gu Fan's arms and snuggled against him.

Suddenly, the gourd twitched its nose and sniffed, then turned its head to see Su Nanzhi staring at it with wide eyes.

"Huh?" Hulu tilted its head and exclaimed in confusion.

"Fellow Daoist... you actually keep a third-tier spirit beast!" Su Nanzhi turned to look at Gu Fan, her face full of shock.

Gu Fan coughed lightly, nodded, and introduced the gourd to Su Nanzhi.

The gourd's adorable appearance instantly captured Su Nanzhi's heart, but what she cared about more was the gourd's cultivation level.

After refining Changyuan's essence blood and devouring a massive amount of Yin-Yang spiritual energy, the gourd's cultivation level was not far from the mid-stage of the third rank.

Hulu looked at Gu Fan with a face full of ambition and patted his chest.

It indicated that if it could advance to the mid-stage of the third tier, it would be confident of defeating Chang Yuan in a one-on-one duel.

Gu Fan nodded with a strange expression, without telling the gourd that Chang Yuan had devoured another mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

It is foreseeable that when Chang Yuan wakes up, he will definitely break through to the mid-stage of the third rank.

After all, Chang Yuan was once a Void Refining Demon Lord. He is now merely retracing his cultivation path. His physical body, forged from the Chaos Primordial Embryo, possesses extraordinary aptitude and has no bottlenecks. He only needs to accumulate enough experience to advance.

The reason why the gourd could still hang behind Chang Yuan was twofold: firstly, it was because of Gu Fan's nurturing of it, and secondly, Gu Fan was suppressing Chang Yuan's devouring behavior. Otherwise, if it were released, it would surely have caused a massive massacre.

In addition to the improvement in his cultivation level, Gu Fan discovered that the gourd's physical body had also changed.

The scales had deepened in color, becoming even closer to Chang Yuan's, and when struck, they produced a metallic sound.

Letting the gourd shrink to the size of a palm and snuggle into his arms, Gu Fan and Su Nanzhi set off again.

In the following days, the two traveled through the sea of ​​clouds one after another.

Two more floating islands were discovered during the trip, but there was no chance to survive on them.

The gourd indicated that it smelled an unfamiliar scent, and Gu Fan immediately realized that someone had gotten there first.

With a regretful sigh, the two continued their journey.

Several days later, after ascending and passing through a layer of clouds, Gu Fan finally saw a magnificent palace.

The palace floated on the sea of ​​clouds, its entire body as white as jade, radiating countless rays of light.

The two cautiously entered the hall and saw two array lights, one bright red and one shimmering white.

"Fellow Daoist, do you wish to continue forward?" Gu Fan asked.

Su Nanzhi has already obtained the Ning Shu Dan, so he could understand if she were to leave now.

But he was determined to continue down this path.

Su Nanzhi has already obtained the Ning Shu Dan, so he could understand if she were to leave now.

But he was determined to continue down this path.

If it weren't for the Yin-Yang Stone, he might have hesitated, since his understanding of the Tai Chi lineage was not deep, and he might have been trapped like he was in the sea of ​​clouds.

But having the Yin-Yang Stone in hand gave him the confidence to explore.

Seeing Gu Fan's attitude, Su Nanzhi immediately realized his choice and said softly, "As a cultivator of a different path, it might be troublesome for you to go in alone. If you don't mind, I am willing to accompany you."

Su Nanzhi was unaware that Gu Fan could actually see through the sea of ​​clouds; she simply assumed that he was going on an adventure because of the Two Elements Stone.

Gu Fan naturally didn't explain, but nodded with a smile and took the lead in stepping into the crimson array.

......

uncomfortable.

This was Gu Fan's first feeling after passing through the formation.

It's not discomfort from cold, heat, or illness, but rather a kind of unease that comes from within.

The gourd wriggled a few times in Gu Fan's arms, sending out the same sensation.

When he looked around, he was immediately stunned by the scene before him, and he forgot all about his discomfort.

At the edge of the field of vision, there was a towering tree that reached into the clouds. Its trunk was as thick as a mountain peak, and countless branches grew wildly, some reaching into the clouds and others hanging down.

The golden leaves shimmered, and endless light pierced through the dark sea of ​​clouds.

Beneath the trunk lies a robust root system, anchored in a snow-covered, continuous mountain range, each root resembling an undulating hill. Gray smoke rises from the mountain range, constantly gathering above the sea of ​​clouds.

This is a sacred tree that is even taller and more magnificent than a peach tree.

A moment later, a flash of light appeared not far from Gu Fan, and Su Nanzhi appeared.

Su Nanzhi was stunned before she could speak, equally shocked by the scene before her.

Compared to Su Nanzhi, the look in Gu Fan's eyes was even more profound.

Among the half-wrecked remains of the immortal ship, he had seen the image of the giant wood carved on the stone gate where Meng Guihong was hiding, which left a deep impression on his mind.

Chang Yuan once told him about the origin of the tree, which was called the "Daoyuan Ancient Tree".

Countless ages ago, six Dao Ancestors descended from the Ancient Tree of Dao Origin, opening the door to cultivation for all beings in the vast universe.

And now, this legendary supreme artifact is right before our eyes.

Just as the two were immersed in the breathtaking scenery, they simultaneously heard a rustling sound behind them.

Gu Fan turned around and looked, his eyes widened, and a chill ran down his spine.
