Cross-World Ascension

Chapter 368 Cross-World Ascension

Lingxu Cave Heaven, beneath the peach tree.

The three disciples bowed down.

Gu Fan first looked at Song Lian and said softly, "Among the three of you, you have the highest spiritual root aptitude and are the least troublesome for your master. To be honest, I haven't given you much."

Song Lian hurriedly said, "Master saved me from dire straits and led me onto the path of immortality, yet I cannot serve you by your side. I am ashamed that I cannot repay your kindness."

Gu Fan nodded slightly, picked up a storage bag and pushed it towards Song Lian: "This bag contains pill formulas, medicinal herb seeds, and some methods for making and detoxifying poisons that I found from sects in five countries. You are so engrossed in alchemy, you will find them very useful."

During their trip to Xizhou, although Gu Fan and Guiyun Sword Lord said they did not need any reward, neither country made any gesture of gratitude.

For example, the Li family of Peach Blossom Spring provided many seeds of spiritual herbs, while the recipes for pills came from subsequent exchanges.

"Thank you, Master!" Song Lian respectfully accepted the storage bag.

Gu Fan flicked his sleeve, and another storage bag floated toward Qi Lingyun.

Looking at Qi Lingyun's sorrowful face, Gu Fan smiled before saying a word.

"Of the three, you are the one who causes me the most worry. You must be more diligent in your cultivation in the future."

He pointed with his finger and smiled, "There is a spiritual fire in this bag, as well as some materials for refining weapons. Since you have come to understand the Dao of Weapons, I will pass this on to you."

The spiritual fire in the bag is the Starfall Calamity Fire, a treasure obtained from the Nirvana Sect.

The spiritual materials were all obtained from the states of Wu and Yan.

"Disciple understands." Qi Lingyun took the storage bag, bowed her head, and replied softly.

Finally, Gu Fan looked at Lin Chen and handed over the third storage bag.

"This bag contains several bottles of True Yang Bright Sun Essence, enough for you to awaken your acupoints. In addition, there is a Thunder Soul Stone, which can be used to refine your natal magic weapon."

"Disciple thanks Master for the reward." Lin Chen bowed and kowtowed.

Afterwards, Gu Fan glanced at the three of them and said in a deep voice, "All the talismanic arts, weapon arts, and array arts that I have comprehended so far have been placed in the Chenxing Pavilion for future disciples to study. I hope you will cultivate diligently."

"Go, everyone!"

The three reluctantly left the Spirit Ruins Cave, Gu Fan's eyebrows drooping slightly.

Inside the Chenxing Pavilion, the three looked at each other in silence and returned to their respective residences.

Lin Chen had just entered the Core Formation stage and should have been full of pride, but at this moment his heart was heavy.

He took out the storage bag given to him by Gu Fan from his bosom, and probed it with his divine sense. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. In addition to the items Gu Fan had mentioned, there was also a black jade bottle and a sound transmission talisman in the bag.

Lin Chen took out a communication talisman in confusion and slowly infused it with a trace of magic power. Gu Fan's voice immediately rang in his ears.

"Inside the black jade bottle is a Nascent Soul Pill."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen took out the black jade bottle and examined it in disbelief.

He also knew that Gu Fan once had a Nascent Soul Pill, and thought that it had been used up when Gu Fan shattered his core to form a Nascent Soul. He never expected that Gu Fan would still have it!

The voice transmission talisman continued: "The spiritual energy of Qionghua Realm is declining. In a few hundred years, it will be difficult even to break through the nascent soul and form an infant. If you can comprehend the 'Great Luo Inner Realm Heaven-Connecting Profound Chapter,' this pill can help you form an infant.

"I don't know when I will return, and we may never meet again in this life. If you can successfully form your Nascent Soul, perhaps you can continue your path to immortality."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound transmission talisman spontaneously combusted without any fire.

Lin Chen held the black jade bottle, remaining silent for a long time.

Leaving the Nascent Soul Pill to Lin Chen was a decision Gu Fan made after much deliberation.

Of the three, only he had cultivated the "Great Luo Inner Realm Heavenly Profound Chapter," giving him hope of leaving the Qionghua Realm.

The Nascent Soul Pill is extremely precious. If it were given to the three of them in public, it might cause them to become suspicious of each other. This was not what Gu Fan wanted, so he could only leave it to Lin Chen in private.

Gu Fan brought back three Thunder Soul Stones from the Liangyi Palace back then. He gave one to Lin Chen and refined the other two into magic weapons.

One of the pieces was incorporated into the Cloud-Covering Umbrella, elevating its quality to that of a superior magical artifact.

The last piece was taken by Chang Yuan.

Chang Yuan asked Gu Fan to refine it into a seal, and then swallowed it, nurturing it day and night with the Divine Thunder Eye.

At this point, all three disciples had been settled.

Over the past fifty years, Gu Fan has finally accumulated enough magical power to prepare for ascension across realms.

Chang Yuan had been waiting impatiently for a long time, but the gourd was indifferent.

Wherever Gu Fan went, it followed.

Gu Fan hesitated for a while about whether to take the gourd with him, because that would mean a greater burden of magical power.

But every time Gu Fan met the gourd's bright eyes and saw the longing and dependence in them, he found it hard to make up his mind and ultimately chose to take it with him.

Looking at the carefree gourd, Gu Fan flicked its head with his finger and said gently, "All you ever do is eat!"

"Hehehe." Hulu stuck out her tongue and buried her head in his arms.

Two months later.

The news that Gu Fan was about to transcend realms and ascend to immortality quickly spread.

Not only the members of the Lingxiao Sect, but also Wu Chengdao, Jin Kui, Lu Ling, Cai Xuan and others came to see them off.

On this day, Gu Fan completed his final breathing exercise, adjusted his magical power to its optimal state, and rode his escape light to Jade Void Peak.

Chang Yuan and the gourd had already crawled into the spirit beast bag, and the spirit-sealing talisman was also affixed to their chests, so that they could mobilize their magic power at any time if needed.

The area in front of Jade Void Peak was crowded with people watching the ceremony.

In the past two months, Gu Fan had already said goodbye to Chen Suzhen, Meng Wei and other acquaintances, so he could only nod in farewell at this moment.

When their gazes fell upon the alluring figure in the corner, their eyes met, Gu Fan smiled calmly, nodded slightly, and turned away.

Then, he stepped onto the specially constructed cloud platform, looked up into the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Since embarking on the path of immortality, I have cultivated for over four hundred years, working tirelessly day and night without the slightest negligence. Today, I depart from this realm to continue my journey on the path of immortality!"

Thousands of Lingxiao Sect disciples chanted in unison, "May the Supreme Elder's path to immortality prosper!"

The sound waves pierced the sky and shook the clouds.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Gu Fan took out a palm-sized stone disc and held it in his hand; it was the Transcendent Token.

The Transcendent Token is forged from Star Soul Iron, and engraved on it are the coordinates of the Transcendent Realm that disciples of the Luofu Immortal Sect would travel to after being teleported in ancient times.

Master Yunxiao was transported to a random realm because he did not have a Transcending Realm Token, and has been missing for thousands of years.

The reasons may not be limited to this.

Just like Gu Fan at this moment.

He only had a Transcending Token, but no coordinates for the Qionghua Realm. Even if he wanted to return in the future, he would have no way to find his way back.

For now, the only option is to search for the location of Qionghua Realm slowly at a later time.

After taking a few deep breaths, Gu Fan glanced longingly at the Lingxiao Sect.

His body surged with magical power, and thirty-six array hubs in his sea of ​​consciousness lit up simultaneously. Thousands of array patterns intertwined and took shape, and the interdimensional teleportation array slowly manifested.

All the onlookers saw a dazzling spiritual light emanating from Gu Fan's body, which transformed into a pillar of light that shot into the sky.

Enveloped in spiritual light, his figure slowly rose, eventually transforming into a flash of light and disappearing.

On this day, all living beings in the Eastern and Western Continents, even in broad daylight, witnessed that astonishing flash of light that pierced the sky.

The interdimensional teleportation array was activated, and Gu Fan's magical power was instantly depleted by more than half, causing his face to turn deathly pale.

Looking around, he saw a dazzling array of colorful lights crisscrossing and forming a narrow spatial passage. He was pulled forward at high speed by the power of space, unable to control his own destiny.

Fortunately, his magic power was still sufficient, but he didn't know how long it would take to reach the other side. Gu Fan thought to himself.

At that very moment, a sudden change occurred.
