To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Chapter 348 Five Poisons Cultivator

As soon as True Lord Yan Jin finished speaking, everyone except Fairy Meng Yao's expression changed drastically, their eyes filled with disbelief, followed by a hint of joy.

"Dead?" Xue Wushang's body trembled slightly, and he asked urgently, "Is what you say true, fellow Daoist?"

If the Half-Old Monster is dead, then it would be a sure thing for them to join forces and destroy the Wei Kingdom.

At that time, with six against two, even if Guiyun Sword Lord's swordsmanship is unparalleled, he won't be able to cause much trouble.

True Monarch Yan Jin nodded slowly and said in a deep voice, "Judging from the time it has been, the old monster's lifespan was already running out. As you all know, he suffered a serious injury in his early years and went into seclusion after the battle of Manghuang Mountain."

"In recent years, our disciples have repeatedly discovered that the Hundred Refinements Sect is secretly hunting demonic beasts. Their actions are extremely secretive, and if it were not by chance, it would be impossible to detect them."

"If the Half-Old Monster were still alive, why would the Hundred Refinements Sect need to be so secretive?"

"In my opinion, it's most likely that half of the old monsters has already perished, and the Hundred Refinements Sect has no Nascent Soul True Monarch to oversee things. This time, they are secretly hunting demonic beasts to stockpile spiritual materials and prepare for war, guarding against us taking the opportunity to launch an attack."

Li Mengchan pondered for a moment and said, "What you say is not impossible, but since we haven't investigated it yet, it's probably best not to act rashly."

Du Qianji's eyes darted around twice, and he suggested, "In my opinion, why don't we test the waters first?"

"How do you intend to test me?" Tian Shizi asked curiously. "Are you perhaps planning to personally attack the Hundred Refinements Sect's mountain gate?"

"A reckless fool's opinion!" Du Qianji snorted lightly, and said in a deep voice, "My intention is to implement a strategy of gradual encroachment, first sending my disciples to slowly approach the border of Wei."

"No matter how many Golden Core cultivators the three sects of Wei have, they can't stop the six sects from joining forces! Once they advance to the foot of Taihe Mountain, if the Half-Old Monster is still alive, he certainly won't sit idly by."

"If he dies..." Du Qianji deliberately dragged out his words, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

Yan Jin Zhenjun suddenly realized and grinned, "If he dies, we will use the Hundred Refinements Sect as a breakthrough point to attack Wei Kingdom in one fell swoop! Even if they hide in the sect's formation and hold their ground, we can still take over the Fallen Soul Abyss first."

"Without the ancestral energy of the Mysterious Female, the three sects of Wei will have no more Golden Core cultivators, and they will collapse on their own if this continues!"

Everyone nodded in agreement and burst into hearty laughter.

Lingxiao Sect.

Upon hearing Xu Changsheng's summons, Gu Fan rode his escape light and landed on Jade Void Peak.

Upon entering the Lingxiao Palace, Xu Changsheng was already waiting inside.

"Greetings, Master." Gu Fan bowed and asked directly, "I wonder what important matter you have summoned me for?"

'

He knew in his heart that unless something urgent happened, Xu Changsheng would not easily disturb his seclusion.

Over the years, he has been cultivating in seclusion in the Lingxu Cave, refining elixirs to polish his golden elixir while studying the "Innate Two Elements Transformation and Divination Chapter". Not only has his golden elixir become more and more perfect, but his understanding of the Yin-Yang principle has also become more and more profound.

In spiritual practice, one must avoid being impatient; the closer one gets to a critical juncture, the more calm and cautious one must be.

He planned to refine the Golden Core to perfection, then cleanse it with Yin and Yang energies, and then begin the process of breaking the core to form the Nascent Soul.

Xu Changsheng led Gu Fan to sit down at the table and said in a deep voice, "News has come from the Hundred Refinements Sect that demonic cultivators have been frequently spotted at the border recently, and the two sides have already clashed several times. I'm afraid the Yan and Wu kingdoms will soon be unable to hold back."

"Has Taihe Mountain been surrounded?" Gu Fan asked, frowning.

Xu Changsheng slowly shook his head: "The demonic cultivators are not advancing quickly. They have only dismantled the Hundred Refinements Sect's base near the Fallen Soul Abyss and are gradually advancing towards Taihe Mountain."

"So, it seems the two countries are merely testing the waters and don't dare to launch a full-scale attack." Gu Fan's brows relaxed upon hearing this. "The two countries appear to be allied, but in reality, they are not of one mind."

Xu Changsheng nodded: "Even so, the combined strength of the six sects should not be underestimated. I have already sent a letter to the Spirit Transformation Sect, arranging for the two sects to send disciples to aid the Hundred Refinements Sect."

"The Supreme Elder will also accompany us in preparation for resisting the Nascent Soul cultivators of the demonic path."

After speaking, Xu Changsheng looked at Gu Fan: "This great battle will likely be a long stalemate. Our sect needs a highly respected leader to lead this matter..."

"6

Gu Fan instantly understood his intention and nodded in response, "Don't worry, Sect Leader, I can handle this matter."

He has been in charge of Wendao Peak for many years, enjoys great prestige within the sect, is skilled in combat, and has good relations with the leaders of each peak, making him the most suitable candidate.

Xu Changsheng nodded with satisfaction.

After discussing it for a while, Gu Fan returned to Wendao Peak, summoned several disciples to his side, and told them about his upcoming expedition.

"This disciple is willing to go with Master!" Song Lian replied firmly and decisively.

"This disciple is also willing to go," Lin Chen added.

Just as Qi Lingyun was about to speak, Gu Fan looked at him and ordered, "You stay."

"Huh?" Qi Lingyun was stunned, a sense of resentment rising in her heart. She said, "Master is biased! Why can my senior sisters and junior brothers go to war with Master, but I'm left here?"

Gu Fan smiled helplessly and spread his hands, saying, "Someone has to watch the house, right?"

"Your senior sister has already formed her core, so she'll be safe in the great battle." As he spoke, he pointed to Lin Chen: "Your junior brother hasn't undergone any refinement in his cultivation yet, so this is the perfect opportunity."

"This—" Qi Lingyun pursed her lips and slowly lowered her head.

Twenty years have passed, and she has cultivated to the late stage of Foundation Establishment. Her magical power has been honed to a considerable degree, and she is also preparing to form her core. However, she is still only at the Foundation Establishment level, and her situation is neither good nor bad.

She was unable to refute what Gu Fan said.

Seeing her like this, Gu Fan couldn't help but smile and reassure her, "You've always been reliable and meticulous in your work. I'm very relieved to leave Wendao Peak in your care."

"Is that really what Master thinks?" Qi Lingyun raised her head, her eyes lighting up.

"That's right." Gu Fan nodded seriously.

Qi Lingyun immediately smiled and said, "Then this disciple will certainly guard Wendao Peak well and await Master's return!"

The following day, the resounding chimes echoed throughout the land.

The Lingxiao Sect was bustling with activity as all the Golden Core elders and disciples from both the inner and outer sects gathered in front of Jade Void Peak.

A moment later, thunder rumbled, and Xu Changsheng descended from the sky.

His gaze swept across the entire area, and the noisy square instantly fell silent.

.

"All disciples, heed my command!"

Xu Changsheng's voice resounded throughout Jade Void Peak, reaching all directions: "The demonic forces of Yan and Wu have launched a massive invasion, intending to occupy the Fallen Soul Abyss and invade the spiritual veins of my Wei Kingdom."

"From this day forward, the sect will select disciples to go to the aid of our forces. This battle is crucial to the survival of our sect's lineage. Those who fight bravely and achieve merit will be richly rewarded by the sect!"

"We obey the orders of the Sect Leader!" the crowd shouted in unison.

As soon as the words were spoken, the Golden Core Elder, who had already been notified, remained expressionless, while the inner and outer disciples had different expressions.

Some were overjoyed, some looked solemn, and some had a cold glint in their eyes.

Yet not a single person felt fear.

Half a month later, in front of Jade Void Peak.

The Yunmeng Boat hovered in mid-air, and the summoned disciples boarded the boat one by one.

Gu Fan stood on the deck, surrounded by several Golden Core elders who had accompanied him. These elders were all specially selected by Xu Changsheng, including Chen Suzhen, Li Fengyi, Meng Wei, and Chen Zhiyan.

.

Once everyone had boarded and assembled on the boat, the Yunmeng Boat roared and sped off towards Taihe Mountain.

Several days later, outside Taihe Mountain.

Before the Yunmeng Boat even landed, Jin Kui was seen riding a magic boat, speeding outwards.

"Where are you headed, Fellow Daoist Jin?"

Gu Fan leaped forward, blocking the way in front of the magic boat, and asked.

Jin Kui looked anxious and said, "Fellow Daoist, you've come at just the right time. A group of Five Poisons Sect cultivators have suddenly launched an attack, besieging a camp outside the Fallen Soul Abyss. They are using poisonous smoke to break the formation, and I'm on my way to rescue them."

Gu Fan frowned and pondered for a moment, then suggested, "In that case, how about I accompany you, fellow Daoist?"

Jin Kui didn't know what Gu Fan meant, but with a powerful helper, he had no reason to refuse, so he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, fellow Daoist."

Gu Fan nodded, turned back to the Yunmeng Boat, ordered everyone to follow the boat to the Hundred Refinements Sect, and then stepped onto Jin Kui's magic boat. The two of them sped off to the north together.

One hour later.

The Dharma Boat came to a stop, and Gu Fan looked around and saw thick, dark green smoke billowing around a low mountain peak, constantly eroding the protective formation.

Outside the toxic smoke, two Golden Core cultivators stood suspended in mid-air.

A green-robed cultivator with a face full of pustules stood at the front, laughing wildly as he looked at the scene in the formation.
