To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Chapter 358 Myriad Transformation Furnace

The hundred-foot-tall Dharma image materialized, with auspicious red-gold clouds surrounding his chest and seven-colored rays of light flowing above his head. His hands formed the Heavenly Gang Seal, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he were concentrating in deep thought.

The immense pressure of the Nascent Soul True Monarch spread outwards like a tidal wave.

A flash of lightning appeared on Jade Void Peak, and Xu Changsheng revealed himself, holding a golden seal and circulating his magical power.

In an instant, the Zhou Tianyun Forbidden Array was activated, and an endless sea of ​​clouds rose from the Cloud Realm Mountain, completely concealing the Nascent Soul formation phenomenon.

The two had already discussed it.

The phenomenon of Nascent Soul formation was too conspicuous, so a large array was used to conceal it to prevent the news from spreading unchecked.

A moment later, Faxiang opened his eyes, his two beams of light shining like the sun in the sky, dyeing the surrounding clouds golden. Then he closed his hand seals, his aura slowly receding, and Faxiang's figure sank into Wendao Peak, disappearing from sight.

When Gu Fan walked out of the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven, the area in front of the Star Pavilion was already crowded with people.

The sect leader, Xu Changsheng, stood at the forefront, followed by a group of Golden Core elders, with Song Lian and others also among them.

Hulu rushed forward excitedly, but Gu Fan reached out and pulled him into his arms.

"Congratulations on the Elder's Nascent Soul attainment! May your path to immortality be everlasting!" the crowd exclaimed in unison.

Gu Fan nodded slightly: "Thank you all."

After offering their congratulations, Xu Changsheng and Gu Fan exchanged a glance and nodded, then led everyone away.

Once everyone had gone some distance, Song Lian and the others immediately surrounded them.

Chang Yuan circled Gu Fan, scrutinizing him but finding nothing amiss, and couldn't help but ask, "Kid, where's your innate divine ability?"

"My innate divine power—" Gu Fan said slowly, his expression somewhat strange, "I still need to study it for a while before I can use it freely."

.

Chang Yuan was filled with curiosity: "What kind of supernatural power is so difficult to control?"

"It's not that it's difficult to control, it's just... a bit complicated," Gu Fan replied with a faint smile.

Inside the Spirit Ruins Cave, Gu Fan sat cross-legged on a futon, with a ball of spiritual light floating in each of his hands.

His left hand glowed crimson with a scorching heat, while his right hand shone with a dazzling, chilling golden light.

As their hands slowly came together, their two auras intertwined and merged, instantly unleashing an invincible aura. Chang Yuan, who was watching from the sidelines, felt a faint stinging pain in his scales and unconsciously took several feet back.

"Is this your innate supernatural power?"

"Exactly." Gu Fan nodded.

After overcoming his inner demons, he grasped his innate divine power in his palm. Countless profound insights surged into his mind, and he finally understood the wondrous uses of this divine power called "Myriad Transformations Furnace".

The furnace of myriad transformations, with the body as the furnace and the Tao as the fire, melts all laws into one, transforming into true essence.

It is not a concrete furnace shape, but rather it takes the essence of the Great Dao, which is to take heaven and earth as the furnace and creation as the craftsman.

Gu Fan used fire as his foundation and refined his elixir with the help of yin and yang and the five elements. The Myriad Transformations Furnace then granted him the ability to combine the five elements and yin and yang at will and to develop supernatural powers.

As for how to combine them, that depends entirely on one's own understanding and comprehension of the Dao.

His demonstration just now was a fusion of the fire and metal elements.

Metal is associated with cold, hardness, and breaking, while fire is the ultimate yang, capable of breaking through the solidified and cold yin.

He named this divine power that blends fire and metal as "The Chapter of Severing Cold".

In addition, fire can be used as a base to match the other five elements and yin and yang, each with its own mysteries, but he has not yet had time to deduce them one by one.

As one's understanding of the Dao deepens, one can transcend binary pairings, accommodating multiple elements and even integrating the entire Yin-Yang and Five Elements system.

Gu Fan thought to himself: Could the Spirit Forging Technique be based on the same principle?

The evolution of all things in heaven and earth is entirely within the flow of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. The name "Furnace of Myriad Transformations" is truly fitting, as it conceals countless changes.

Upon hearing the explanation, Chang Yuan was also astonished.

A moment later, however, he said in a teasing tone, "While the supernatural power is strong, it ultimately depends on the depth of one's understanding of the Dao. Right now, it may not be comparable to my Divine Firmament Thunder Eye."

"That's not necessarily true."

Gu Fan gave a light snort, dispelling the golden fire and spiritual light in his palm, and then activated his divine power.

A crimson glow and a cyan light appeared simultaneously, slowly merging and condensing, and in an instant, a crimson lightning bolt shot out, its power like divine punishment.

The next instant, crimson lightning shot out from his hand, heading straight for Chang Yuan's face.

Changyuan's serpentine body suddenly tensed, his eyes focused, and golden light flashed between his brows in his Divine Thunder Eye. He immediately shot out a thunder dragon that crashed head-on into the lightning.

"boom--"

The two bolts of lightning collided, creating a deafening explosion that caused the entire Wendao Peak to tremble slightly.

Fortunately, Gu Fan activated the protective array of the Spirit Ruins Cave Heaven in time, blocking the aftershocks of the collision.

Even so, the peach tree behind them also suffered collateral damage, with its blossoms falling and scattering, creating a rain of petals on the ground.

"The Samadhi True Fire, combined with the pure Qi of Yi Wood, cleanses evil and purifies the filth, suppressing the demonic path. This is the [Azure Netherworld Guide]. What do you think, senior?" Gu Fan asked with a smile.

"Not very good!"

Chang Yuan stubbornly snorted, changing the subject: "You've reached the Nascent Soul stage too, when are you planning to take me away from the Qionghua Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan was taken aback. After a moment of contemplation, he said softly, "There's no rush. There are still many things to take care of."

Chang Yuan simply nodded in response.

In fact, Gu Fan was not lying to Chang Yuan; he did have many things left to do.

The first thing to do is to accumulate magical power and solidify the foundation.

Although he can reflect the interdimensional teleportation array, he has only recently entered the Nascent Soul stage and his foundation is still shallow. It is unknown whether he can safely cross realms. He must consolidate his foundation.

Moreover, he will not be alone on this trip; he will also bring Chang Yuan along, and perhaps Hulu as well.

Using the "Great Luo Inner Landscape Heavenly Profound Chapter" to set up the formation, he alone bears all the loss of magical power. Bringing another person means an additional loss of power.

Chang Yuan was already at the late stage of the third rank, and the cost was considerable.

It was for this reason that Ancestor Yunxiao chose to ascend alone; otherwise, the Lingxiao Sect would have already left the Qionghua Realm.

Secondly, the conflict in the Eastern Continent has not yet been resolved.

The Wu and Yan kingdoms occupied the Fallen Soul Abyss, but due to the remaining power of the half-demon, they dared not rashly start another war.

Now that Gu Fan has formed his Nascent Soul, the balance of power between the two sides has been reversed.

The plan to transform the Fallen Soul Abyss into a spiritual land, which was discussed with Qi Zongyuan in the past, should also be implemented by him personally.

Furthermore, the situation outside Qionghua Realm is unknown, and he would never set off rashly without getting himself into peak condition.

Time flies, and fifty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

At Taihe Mountain, in front of the sealing formation, Wu Chengdao and Gu Fan stood side by side.

Holding the token, Wu Chengdao asked solemnly, "Fellow Daoist, are you truly determined to fight the demonic path to the death?"

"Not bad." Gu Fan nodded.

Fifty years have passed, and Gu Fan's magical power has become even more formidable.

At this moment, he was dressed in a bright red fairy robe, wearing a lotus crown and cloud-walking shoes. There was a seven-colored glow flowing in the depths of his eyes. His temperament was otherworldly, just like a true immortal in the mortal world.

After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, he felt the decline of spiritual energy in the Qionghua Realm more acutely.

The effects of the Golden Core stage are not obvious at first, but after the Nascent Soul stage, it is like being on a dangerous peak with thin air. Not only is breathing difficult, but the progress of magical cultivation is also extremely slow.

He finally understood why there were no more mid-Nascent Soul cultivators in the Qionghua Realm.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch's lifespan is limited to a thousand years. At this rate of cultivation, even when his lifespan is exhausted, he may not be able to accumulate enough foundation to break through to the middle stage.

Even those with exceptional talent and temperament, like Guiyun Sword Lord and Half-Old Monster, ultimately could not overcome that insurmountable barrier.

Therefore, after establishing a solid foundation and mastering the basics of the Myriad Transformations Furnace, he broke through the barriers and joined Guiyun Sword Lord and others to discuss the grand plan to destroy the demon.

Only by eliminating the demonic Nascent Soul cultivators from both Wu and Yan kingdoms could he leave in peace.

Wu Chengdao grinned, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit: "When will you begin the battle, fellow Daoist? We've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Fellow Daoist, please be at ease. We can discuss this further after I return from the Western Continent."

"Xizhou?" Wu Chengdao was taken aback upon hearing this.
