To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

Chapter 364 Unifying the Eastern Continent

With Li Mengchan dead, the disciples of the Gu God Sect scattered and fled.

Gu Fan and Guiyun Sword Lord descended from the clouds and strolled leisurely into the Gu God Sect.

The two did not pursue or kill the lower-ranking disciples who had fled far away.

These people will be taken care of by the disciples of the three sects in the future.

Only when they encountered a Golden Core cultivator could the two of them either unleash a sword beam or fly out a God-Slaying Flying Knife, killing them all.

Everyone watched in horror as the once high and mighty Golden Core cultivator fell from mid-air like dumplings being dropped into a pot. They were so frightened that they forgot to pack their valuables and only regretted that their escape was not fast enough.

Upon reaching the depths of Wan Gu Ridge, Gu Fan conducted a brief investigation and quickly located the sect's treasure vault.

The two took all the spiritual materials and medicines from the storehouse, then sprinkled a handful of spiritual fire, burning the entire Gu God Sect to the ground. The mountains were immediately filled with the shrill and piercing cries of Gu insects.

a few days later.

Guiyun Sword Master returned to Lingxiao Sect, while Gu Fan went to Taihe Mountain alone.

As soon as they landed on the clouds, Jin Kui came to report that Wu Chengdao and Lu Ling had encountered trouble.

Gu Fan immediately mounted his escape light and flew straight towards the gate of the Silent Annihilation Sect.

The gate of the Silent Extinction Sect was built on a dormant volcano, with flames shooting straight into the sky, thick smoke obscuring the sun, and ash falling like snowflakes.

Wu Chengdao and Lu Ling, looking dejected, were squatting outside the mountain gate when they saw Gu Fan arrive, and were overjoyed.

"Fellow Daoist, you've finally arrived!"

Wu Chengdao pointed to the large formation below and said, "That demon fought us for several rounds, but when he realized he was no match for us, he abandoned his sect and tried to escape."

"Luckily, I was prepared and blocked him. Now he's holed up inside the formation and refuses to come out!"

Gu Fan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, don't be in a hurry, let me take a look."

After speaking, he focused his mind and activated his Myriad Manifestations Dharma Eye. Under his inspection, the profound mystery of the Silent Annihilation Sect's great formation was immediately revealed.

But after seeing it clearly, Gu Fan couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

"Fellow Daoist, how is the situation?" Wu Chengdao asked with concern when he saw that his expression was strange.

"This is a bit tricky," Gu Fan frowned.

Compared to the Gu God Sect's grand formation, the Silent Annihilation Sect's formation has a different style.

Its defenses are not particularly strong, barely reaching the fourth tier, and it wouldn't be difficult for the three of them to break through them together.

But there is one exception.

This grand formation is actually connected to that dormant volcano, and the energy drawn from the volcano is what powers its operation.

Once the great formation is broken, the earth veins within a radius of a thousand miles will be activated, inevitably unleashing a catastrophe.

Upon hearing Gu Fan's explanation, Wu Chengdao asked in surprise, "What should we do? Do we have to stay here indefinitely?"

Gu Fan slowly shook his head: "Fellow Daoist, please rest assured, it is not that there is no way."

He gave a brief instruction, told the two men to guard outside the formation, and then returned to Taihe Mountain to retrieve a large amount of spiritual materials before locking himself in a quiet room.

Then, Gu Fan threw out the Returning Origin Furnace, and with a flick of his sleeve, sent all the spiritual materials into the furnace.

With a loud "boom".

The Six Ding Divine Fire within the Guiyuan Furnace suddenly surged, enveloping and refining all sorts of spiritual materials.

It wasn't until half a month later that Gu Fan left the meditation room and flew to the Silent Extinction Sect again.

Standing high in the sky, Gu Fan quietly activated his Myriad Manifestations Eye, and wisps of spiritual light appeared in the void, outlining the direction of the spiritual veins.

He nodded slightly, took out a gun barrel about ten feet long, and struck it into the ground.

This is the magic weapon he recently crafted, called the "Spirit-Suppressing Nail," whose purpose is to sever the flow of a spiritual vein.

As the Spirit-Suppressing Nail sank into the earth, the spiritual light in the void immediately became somewhat sluggish.

Seeing this, Gu Fan nodded slightly, and then proceeded to strike down the Spirit-Suppressing Nails one by one around the vicinity of the Silent Extinction Sect.

After striking down a total of 360 pillars, Gu Fan slightly moved his divine sense, and 360 pillars of light suddenly rose from the ground, completely surrounding the gate of the Silent Annihilation Sect.

A beam of light shot into the sky, clearly visible for miles around.

Wu Chengdao was idly squatting outside the formation when he saw the pillar of light rise. The gate of the Silent Annihilation Sect immediately sensed this, and the swirling flames and spiritual energy suddenly fluctuated.

Just then, Gu Fan arrived riding a beam of light, shouting loudly, "Fellow martial artist, break through the mountain gate!"

"Good!" Wu Chengdao was overjoyed and immediately activated his innate divine power.

A jade axe, several tens of feet long, descended from the sky and struck the gate of the Silent Annihilation Sect. The great formation trembled violently twice before shattering with a crash.

The dormant volcano roared and spewed out a large amount of lava.

A frenzied battle intent surged in Yan Jin Zhenjun's eyes as he snarled, "Fine! To perish along with the surrounding thousand miles of earth veins is not contrary to the Dao of my Limitless Dharma Lineage!"

After saying that, the boundless true flames coiled around the giant sword and slashed fiercely at the three of them.

"Who said the earth veins within a thousand miles would be damaged?" Gu Fan chuckled.

As he spoke, a dark blue flame swirled in his palm. Though it was fire, it resembled a surging river, making a rushing sound, as if the Milky Way were pouring down.

It is a divine power that combines water and fire, and balances movement and stillness.

Its name is—【Jing Cangheng】!

As the Limitless True Flame touched Jing Cangheng's flame wave, the two instantly neutralized each other, canceling each other out and disintegrating.

Upon hearing this, True Lord Yan Jin turned his head and looked over. He saw that although the volcano had erupted, the earth's energy had not been ignited, and it fell silent again after a short while.

Upon realizing that the invincible Infinite True Flame was being blocked, he was both shocked and furious.

"I never imagined that Wei would produce someone like you. So that's why our grand plan failed," Yan Jin Zhenjun said coldly.

"You flatter me, senior." Gu Fan smiled slightly, exuding elegance.

"How did you two start chatting like this!" Wu Chengdao complained upon seeing this, exchanged a glance with Lu Ling, and immediately used their respective methods to attack her.

Yan Jin Zhenjun was attacked from both sides, and his Wuji Zhenyan was blocked by Gu Fan. In an instant, one of his arms was severed, and the giant sword in his hand was about to fall.

"It's all about timing and fate!"

Yan Jin Zhenjun coughed up a mouthful of blood and laughed bitterly, "So be it! Heaven and earth too must come to an end, and it is time for this lord's soul to return to the Boundless Realm!"

Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly swelled up.

"He's going to self-destruct, retreat quickly!" Gu Fan hurriedly reminded him.

Wu Chengdao and Lu Ling hurriedly retreated, only to hear a deafening roar and a powerful shockwave that spread in all directions, sending the three of them flying several miles away.

Fortunately, the three of them used their supernatural powers to protect themselves, and their evacuation was timely, so they were not injured.

After regaining their footing, they looked around and saw that most of the site of the Silent Extinction Sect had been destroyed, and many of the sect's disciples had been injured by the aftershocks of the repeated battles, resulting in extremely heavy casualties.

The three were also shocked by Yan Jin Zhenjun's fierceness and couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

After the passing of the Half-Old Monster, the disciples of the Hundred Refinements Sect erected a cenotaph for him.

The tombstone is inscribed with the words: "Tomb of Wu Tongxuan, the True Lord of Martial Extremes".

Martial Supreme Lord – that was the title Half-Old Monster used when he became famous in the Qionghua Realm.

"Half-Old Monster" was the nickname others used to tease him after his body was crippled.

He himself did not reject it, and over time, the title of Martial Supreme True Lord gradually faded away.

After the defeat and death of Yan Jin Zhenjun, the last high-level forces of the Wu and Yan kingdoms were completely wiped out, but it will still take time for the three sects to unify the Eastern Continent.

Not to mention that the demonic sects such as the Blood Spirit Sect and the Yin Corpse Sect have not yet been conquered, the changes in the cultivation world have already affected the mortal world.

The people of Wu Kingdom felt this most deeply, no longer needing to worry about having their essence extracted and becoming medicine people, nor needing to worry about being killed by poisonous insects.

Faced with the cultivators from the three sects, the ordinary people of Wu were all filled with gratitude and kowtowed repeatedly.

But Gu Fan no longer needed to worry about any of this. After the battle with the Silent Annihilation Sect, he returned to Taihe Mountain and went into the Black Wind Cave.

He slowly walked into the cave, took off his robes, revealing his strong body, and let the razor-sharp cold wind blow through his body and meridians, gritting his teeth and enduring the excruciating pain.

At the same time, the "Absolute Heavenly Inheritance" technique of the Half-Old Monster kept echoing in his mind.

He glimpsed the possibility of breaking through the third level of body refinement from it.

Gu Fan stood quietly in the Black Wind Cave for a moment, until the image of that move flashed through his mind hundreds of times.

The next instant, he suddenly moved.
