Source Sea Light Cocoon

Chapter 391 Source Sea Light Cocoon

The next day, at the Yan family's territory.

Before the main peak, the three elders and a group of Nascent Soul cultivators gathered.

Each person has only one chance to enter the Xuan Yang Secret Realm. Although the Yan family has more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators, only six of them, including Gu Fan, are qualified to enter.

Gu Fan and Hong Ye are the only two cultivators with different surnames.

Of the remaining four, the First Elder Yan Qingwu and the Third Elder Yan Guiren each had one subordinate, named Yan Changge and Yan Zhaoming respectively.

The last two were named Yan Shenghan and Yan Yunshan, and they were under the command of the Second Elder, Yan Tongfeng.

Gu Fan was slightly surprised by this.

Yan Tongfeng was unassuming and unassuming within the clan, like a clay puppet, yet his influence was not weak.

As for Yan Fuyao, since she formed her nascent soul relatively late and her magical power was not strong enough, coupled with the fact that her injuries had just healed, she had no choice but to wait for the next opening.

Everyone waited for a moment.

A figure gracefully descended from the main peak, his golden robes fluttering in the wind; it was none other than the Yan family patriarch.

"Greetings, Ancestor." Everyone bowed in respect.

The Yan family patriarch chuckled twice, glanced around, and stroked his beard. "Everyone's here? Excellent!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve, and a stream of dark golden light flew out from his sleeve and hovered in mid-air.

Upon closer inspection, Gu Fan discovered it was a piece of broken jade about the size of a fist.

"Is this the Xuan Yang Jade Disc?"

The Yan family patriarch pointed his finger lightly, and in the next instant, the wind and clouds surged within a hundred miles. The Xuan Yang Jade Wall shone with boundless brilliance and suddenly tore through space.

After the space shattered, no spatial turbulence flew out; instead, a dark gold portal with a radius of ten feet was erected.

"Come forward!" the Yan family patriarch commanded.

The six people immediately flew forward.

The Yan family patriarch pointed his finger again, and six streams of light flew out from the Xuan Yang Jade Wall and landed on the backs of everyone's hands.

Gu Fan looked down and saw a large sun totem with phoenix patterns inside.

At this moment, the Yan family patriarch's smile faded, and he solemnly said, "Life and death are unpredictable in the secret realm. If you encounter other cultivators, as long as they are not disciples of our clan, you may make your own decisions without holding back."

"This gate will only exist for ten days. You may activate the Profound Yang Seal and follow its guidance to the secret realm. After leaving the secret realm, return using the same method. Remember, you must not linger!"

"Thank you for your teachings, Ancestor!" Everyone bowed and expressed their gratitude.

Yan Changge took the lead and poured his magical power into the Xuan Yang Seal.

The phoenix totem on the back of his hand immediately came to life, flapping its wings as if it were about to break free.

Yan Changge activated his escape technique and plunged into the dark gold portal, his figure disappearing instantly.

Seeing this, Gu Fan did not delay. After infusing his magic power, a clear phoenix cry suddenly rang in his sea of ​​consciousness, and a mysterious guidance arose spontaneously.

He lightly touched the ground with his feet, leaving a trail of afterimages as he rushed into the vast source sea.

The Source Sea is not pitch black, but a chaotic ocean where seven colors are wildly mixed together, constantly surging and boiling.

Gu Fan summoned the Cloud-Covering Umbrella and hung it above his head, casting down golden clouds to protect his body.

Looking back, the gate we came from has disappeared.

The space within the Origin Sea is chaotic and disordered; what may seem like a small step could actually be tens of thousands of miles away.

Cultivators can achieve cross-dimensional teleportation by traversing the Origin Sea.

If one leaves the spatial passage and does not know where to go, one may be lost forever in the Source Sea.

Of course, cultivators can also rely on their own strength to break free from the Source Sea and return to the world.

However, that requires using one's primordial spirit to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, which requires at least the cultivation level of a Nascent Soul cultivator. For a Nascent Soul cultivator, once they lose their way, there is only death as their only option.

This is why the Yan family patriarch specifically instructed that they must return within ten days.

With a thought, a beam of light suddenly flew out from Gu Fan's dantian.

Three concentric rings appeared behind him, slowly rotating, their dazzling light enveloping his body as he flew rapidly in the direction indicated by the phoenix.

Bao Guang was the Flying Star Wheel, which had not been used for a long time.

After forming his Nascent Soul, Gu Fan was able to manipulate the Flying Star Wheel at will, immediately transforming into a golden meteor and speeding through the chaotic Sea of ​​Origin.

The spatial turbulence struck the Cloud-Covering Umbrella, causing the cloud barrier to tremble, but a dim spiritual light flickered and stabilized it.

"It really works!" Gu Fan's lips curled up slightly.

Upon learning that the Xuan Yang Secret Realm was located within the Origin Sea, he instructed the gourd to use its Spirit Devouring and Yuan Transformation Divine Power to condense a spiritual material capable of resisting spatial cutting.

After being refined into the Cloud-Covering Umbrella, the Cloud-Covering Umbrella gained the ability to resist spatial turbulence!

Gu Fan traveled through the Source Sea for an unknown period of time.

Perhaps a quarter of an hour, or perhaps an hour, a dark blue radiance appeared at the edge of the horizon.

Gu Fan's expression changed, and he immediately accelerated the activation of the Flying Star Wheel.

But when he saw the dark blue light clearly, his eyes widened in surprise.

In the chaotic and disordered sea of ​​origin, a dark blue cocoon of light, stretching for thousands of miles, stood quietly.

The bottom of the cocoon was surrounded by a hazy, clear light, existing between illusion and reality.

Upon seeing this, Gu Fan immediately understood that this was the "half-world" that Chang Yuan had mentioned.

The bottom of the light cocoon did not disappear, but was connected to the membrane of heaven and earth in the Pure Subtle Realm, which could both protect the light cocoon and prevent it from getting lost in the Source Sea.

To Gu Fan's surprise, the outer layer of the light cocoon was surrounded by a layer of soap bubble-like air bubbles.

These cavitation bubbles are interconnected yet independent of each other. Several bubbles have even broken free of the light cocoon and are being swept away by the turbulent currents in the source sea, drifting into the distance.

Just then, a cavitation bubble visibly began to vibrate, and then suddenly burst.

There was no earth-shattering roar, nor any dazzling brilliance.

Only an island, perfectly square and regular, emerges from the hollow bubble, as if it were cut from somewhere.

Pavilions and towers could still be vaguely seen on the island, but they were immediately broken down and annihilated by the spatial turbulence.

In the blink of an eye, an island spanning dozens of miles vanished into the source sea without leaving a trace.

Gu Fan swallowed hard.

He didn't know what exactly went wrong with the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, but he could guess that these vacuoles were part of the Xuan Yang Secret Realm.

As the bubbles continue to escape from the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, sooner or later the entire secret realm will be annihilated in the Source Sea!

The cavitation bubble was covered by a layer of gray light, making it difficult to see clearly.

After a moment's thought, Gu Fan found a fairly solid vacancy on the outer edge of the cocoon of light and suddenly crawled inside.

Suddenly everything went black, and when I came to my senses I had passed through the cavitation barrier.

Looking around, they found themselves at the foot of a mountain peak, towering like a sharp blade, spanning several dozen miles, covered with jagged rocks.

Looking up, the sky was gray and hazy, with no sun, moon, or stars in sight.

Hidden atop the mountain is a palace, constructed entirely of dark brown stone, with a simple and ancient design, from which a rich, golden aura emanates.

At the edge of the field of vision, a dark blue light floated in the air, like a colorful ribbon suspended in the sky.

"It seems that's the core of the secret realm over there," Gu Fan thought silently.

He first popped a pill into his mouth to replenish his mana, and then took the gourd out of his spirit beast bag.

The gourd's beast-like body shrank to the size of a palm and quickly climbed onto Gu Fan's shoulder, curiously examining it.

"Such rich spiritual energy!" the gourd exclaimed in surprise, twitching its nose.

Gu Fan nodded upon hearing this.

The Source Sea is not devoid of spiritual energy; on the contrary, it is extremely rich in spiritual energy, far surpassing that of ordinary realms.

The spiritual energy in the Source Sea was mixed with the spatial turbulence, making it extremely violent and difficult to refine.

Within the Xuan Yang Secret Realm, the spiritual energy seemed to have been filtered, becoming exceptionally gentle.

This is the mystery of the Half-World.

It relies on the Boundary Heaven and sinks into the Source Sea, using the Boundary Heaven's membrane to filter the Source Sea's spiritual energy, allowing cultivators to absorb and refine it.

If we disregard the influence of the distracting thoughts of sentient beings that stir up inner demons, the concentration of spiritual energy here is enough to make it a blessed land.

A moment later, the pill was refined, and his magical power was mostly restored.

Gu Fan gazed at the distant palace: "Let's go see what opportunities this place holds!"
