To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Wendao Peak, Lingxu Grotto Heaven.

Gu Fan's successful breakthrough to the late stage of the Golden Core realm caused quite a stir among ordinary disciples, who could only feel admiration and envy.

Everyone knows that he possesses the Nascent Soul Pill, and now that his cultivation has advanced further, the chances of him breaking through the pill to form a Nascent Soul have greatly increased.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, layers upon layers of array diagrams unfolded.

Gu Fan focused his mind and gradually deciphered the array diagram.

He had performed similar acts thousands of times in the Liangyi Hall, and now there was no hindrance.

When the true yang energy circulated through his meridians for five cycles, he guided the spiritual energy into an acupoint, like the sun sinking into a still sea, instantly expanding the acupoint by three-tenths of its original size.

"The twenty-eighth one." Gu Fan slowly opened his eyes, pondering to himself.

The "Great Luo Inner Landscape Heavenly Mystery Chapter" requires the activation of thirty-six acupoints to break the elixir and form an infant. Today, he has taken another step forward.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, eighty-four stars silently revolved around a divine general with two heads and four arms.

That was the Star Observation Divine Method and his divine general's image.

Before the Dharma image, there was a verdant, crystal-clear bamboo, like a spring of water overflowing with clear light into the sea of ​​consciousness.

The clear light washed over the divine general's image like a tide, gradually making it feel solid.

With a thought, Gu Fan sent the Crystal Pure Heart Bamboo into the hand of the Divine General's Dharma Image. With a gentle swipe, the clear light transformed into a bamboo shadow.

If a cultivator were to use their divine sense to investigate at this moment, this attack would cause them unbearable pain!

The Crystal Pure Heart Bamboo can nourish the mind and dispel inner demons. After contact, it takes root in Gu Fan's sea of ​​consciousness. For others, the pure light it releases is like a sharp sword.

This is a divine sense attack method developed by Gu Fan using the Glazed Pure Heart Bamboo, which is far superior to simply pouring divine sense into the enemy's sea of ​​consciousness.

After a moment of meditation, Gu Fan slowly walked out of Chenxing Pavilion.

On Wendao Peak, Qi Lingyun was playing with the gourd.

Qi Lingyun is lively and cheerful, just like the gourd child.

Looking at the gourd, which had already broken through to the mid-stage of the third rank, Gu Fan revealed a smile.

Just then, a beam of light descended from the sky. Gu Fan recognized it as a disciple from the Lingxiao Palace.

"Greetings, Elder. The Sect Leader requests your presence," a disciple stepped forward and bowed.

Gu Fan was slightly surprised to hear this.

In recent years, the three kingdoms of Wei have become increasingly prosperous, suppressing the kingdoms of Wu and Yan to the point that they dare not test them. He wondered what important matter was at stake.

"Okay, I'll be there shortly."

"Yes." The attendant bowed and then got up to leave.

......

A moment later, Gu Fan entered the Lingxiao Palace. In addition to Qi Zongyuan, there was also a monk standing in the palace.

"Elder Gu, you've come at the right time. This is Master Juezhen," Qi Zongyuan introduced.

"Juezhen greets the benefactor."

Juezhen was dressed in a bright red kasaya, holding a jade rosary in his hand, bowing his head in respect, his eyebrows and eyes gentle, and his head bald.

"A cultivator from the Chen Kingdom?" Gu Fan raised an eyebrow.

Such a cultivator could only be found in the Chen Kingdom, and judging from his true form being a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, his cultivation level was not to be underestimated. He must have come from the Jianglong Temple in the Chen Kingdom.

The contrast between the golden statues of the monks of Jianglong Temple and Juezhen's gentle appearance is quite striking.

"Gu Fan greets fellow Daoist."

Gu Fan returned the greeting with a cupped hand, then turned to Qi Zongyuan and asked, "Just now, this disciple sent a message saying that the Sect Leader has important matters to discuss. May I ask...?"

Before Gu Fan could finish speaking, Qi Zongyuan laughed and said, "Let Master Juezhen speak about this matter."

Juezhen nodded upon hearing this.

Subsequently, the three of them sat down and listened to Juezhen's detailed explanation.

"This humble monk is ashamed, for I have come today seeking help."

Juezhen stated his purpose in his very first sentence.

"Master is joking. Even if the State of Chen were to go to war with another country, it wouldn't be able to get help from the Lingxiao Sect," Gu Fan said.

Juezhen slowly shook his head: "What this humble monk said has nothing to do with the war, but rather concerns the ancient immortal ship."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan immediately became interested.

In the ancient battle, the immortal ship split in two, with one half landing in the Eastern Continent, embedding itself in the earth's veins, and becoming the source of the ancestral energy of the Xuanpin.

Legend has it that the other half of the immortal ship landed in the Western Continent, but when he went to the Chu Kingdom, he did not hear about the whereabouts of the other half of the immortal ship, and he always had doubts in his heart.

According to the records of Jianglong Temple, half of a fairy boat once fell into the West Continent. It was not a complete wreck, but rather it broke apart halfway and either fell into the open sea or was acquired by various sects today.

Juezhen paused slightly, with a hint of regret, "There is another item left in Xizhou, located at the border between Chen and Qin, which is more of a curse than a blessing."

"What is that?" Gu Fan asked.

Juezhen raised his eyes, his brows furrowed: "That is a precious cauldron filled with filth and turbid energy. Once a cultivator gets close, he will be invaded by the turbid energy. At best, his meridians will be blocked; at worst, his body will rot. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator will find it difficult to suppress."

"When that precious cauldron landed in the Western Continent, the turbid air it emitted made the surrounding area barren. No matter how hard the countries of the Western Continent tried, they could only barely suppress it and could not completely seal it."

"Later, the various sects of Xizhou had no choice but to seek help from the number one array cultivator in the Qionghua Realm at that time, namely your sect's Ancestor Yunxiao. It was only through Ancestor Yunxiao's personal intervention that the treasure cauldron was completely sealed, and the turbid energy no longer dissipated, which has been more than two thousand years since then."

"For more than two thousand years, the seal has always operated perfectly, but as the spiritual energy of Qionghua Realm has declined, coupled with the erosion of time, the seal has inevitably been damaged, and now there is a leak of foul and turbid energy."

Gu Fan immediately understood why Qi Zongyuan had summoned him.

Even though Gu Fan has not yet formed his Nascent Soul, he can still become the number one array cultivator in the Qionghua Realm.

"So, Master's request for help means he wants me to send someone to seal that precious cauldron?"

Gu Fan asked the question knowing the answer already.

Juezhen nodded: "Indeed. This cauldron is located at the border of the Qin and Chen states. This humble monk has come here representing both the Chen and Qin states. I have just discussed with Sect Leader Qi that if you, fellow Daoist, can seal the defiled cauldron, the reward will certainly satisfy your sect."

Qi Zongyuan spoke up at the opportune moment: "I need to discuss this matter with Elder Gu. Master, you may wish to take a rest first."

"This humble monk respectfully obeys."

Juezhen stood up and walked out with his attendants. When they reached the palace gate, he turned back and instructed, "This matter concerns the survival of the people of Xizhou. I hope you will think it over carefully."

......

After Juezhen left, only Gu Fan and Qi Zongyuan remained in Lingxiao Palace.

"I never expected that the State of Chen would come to me for help." Qi Zongyuan laughed loudly.

Gu Fan also asked with a smile, "I wonder what the Sect Leader means...?"

Qi Zongyuan waved his hand: "Elder, you may go and investigate. Take on what you can, and if it is difficult, just push it back. I have already read the Ancestral Master's notes and found that what he said is true. However, it is from a long time ago, and no one in the sect remembers it. In any case, this time we must make the Chen Kingdom bleed a lot."

At this point, a sharp glint flashed in Qi Zongyuan's eyes.

Seeing this, Gu Fan knew that he had already reached an agreement with Juezhen and that the reward was quite substantial, so he immediately cupped his hands and said, "I will obey the sect leader's decree."

Qi Zongyuan smiled slightly: "Elder, you have made the greatest contribution to this mission. If you succeed, the sect will reward you accordingly. You will also receive a share of the rewards offered by the Qin and Chen kingdoms. You can choose for yourself. I have already spoken with Juezhen. Elder, you may wish to consider what kind of reward you would like."

Gu Fan smiled slightly: "Disciple understands."
