A Thick Fog

Chapter 417 A Thick Fog

Cuiyun Palace.

Gu Fan entered the hall with a gloomy expression.

Chang Yuan was meditating with his eyes closed when he opened them and saw Gu Fan's expression. He teased, "You look so pale. Did someone bully you?"

"Please stop joking, senior."

Gu Fan shook his head and recounted what he had seen and heard in the Transmission Hall.

"Tsk." Chang Yuan rubbed his chin and frowned. "Once you receive the Summoning Order, you can't move around freely without a transfer order. It seems you'd better hurry up with those hundred Nascent Souls."

Gu Fan nodded slightly, then suddenly asked, "Does Senior find anything special about the Qionghua Realm?"

Although he had not yet obtained the star map of the Bright Light Realm, there was still hope of finding the coordinates of the Qionghua Realm, but he still felt uneasy.

Tianyuan Realm is a second-level realm, so the star maps it contains should be more complete than those of a third-level realm.

He compared the Yan family's star map with the "Great Luo Zhou Tian Huan Yu" star map and found no errors or omissions. He even found the already dilapidated Danxia Realm.

If it were merely a coincidence that Qionghua Realm was overlooked, it would be far too much of a coincidence.

On his way back, he kept thinking about this question. Suddenly, he remembered what Bai Xiao had said about the strange flower, and an idea immediately came to mind.

Could there be some hidden secrets within the Qionghua Realm?

Upon hearing this, Chang Yuan pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "I was suppressed in the Qian Yuan Soul-Slaying Formation. Before the Qionghua Realm shattered, I knew almost nothing about the outside world."

"However, your guess is not impossible."

Gu Fan immediately perked up, straightened his posture, and listened attentively.

Chang Yuan held up a finger and gestured, "First of all, the cultivators that Luofu Immortal Sect sends to the third-level realm are at most at the Nascent Soul stage, while only the second-level realm has Void Refinement cultivators guarding it."

Gu Fan nodded slightly.

Just as the Qingwei Realm was guarded by Daoist Cangqiu, the appearance of Venerable Youlin was only to resolve the hidden dangers of the Soul-Slaying and Law-Breaking Sword and to subdue the cultivators of the Xuanyang Sect. After that, he left on the Huaxu Immortal Boat.

"Secondly, the Qionghua Realm is definitely not a second-class realm," Chang Yuan continued.

Gu Fan pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The number of second-class realms under the Luofu Immortal Sect is far less than that of third-class realms, numbering only a few dozen, each with a long history.

If Qionghua Realm is a second-class heaven, the star map could not possibly contain errors.

"Just one last bit."

A serious look appeared in Chang Yuan's eyes as he pointed outside the hall: "The Qingwei Realm is a third-tier realm. You've seen how vast it is. Could two Void Refinement cultivators possibly shatter this realm in a battle?"

Gu Fan was taken aback upon hearing this, then suddenly realized what he meant.

He learned about the history of the Qionghua Realm's shattering from Xuanji Zhenren, and after consulting the sect's records, he found further evidence to support this claim.

However, none of the cultivators in the Qionghua Realm had ever seen the vastness of a third-class realm, let alone a cultivator who had mastered the Void Refinement Realm.

Even the founders of various sects were nothing more than rogue cultivators with low cultivation levels before the ancient war.

Taking the Qingwei Realm as an example, the entire region is more than tens of millions of miles of mountains and rivers. Even if two cultivators at the Void Refinement stage were to make a move, it would be absolutely impossible to shatter it!

"There's another reason why Qionghua Realm shattered!" Gu Fan blurted out.

That's probably the case.

Chang Yuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said in a deep voice, "Qionghua Realm may be a bit smaller than an ordinary third-grade realm, but Jue Yunzi was only at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm back then. Even if the demon ship attacked, it would be impossible for two Void Refinement cultivators to destroy Qionghua Realm in a battle."

"To shatter a third-grade heaven, at least four Void Refinement cultivators would need to work together, and they would need to attack specific locations to have any chance of penetrating the earth's veins and breaking the membrane of heaven and earth."

Gu Fan understood after hearing this.

With Jueyunzi's cultivation level, he should not appear in Qionghua Realm, let alone destroy it.

But all of this happened anyway.

Gu Fan felt his mind was filled with confusion, and all he wanted to do was grab Jue Yunzi by the neck, question him about the cause and effect, and then interrogate him to find out the coordinates of the Qionghua Realm starry sky.

He only regretted that he couldn't defeat a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage.

"Since there might indeed be secrets in the Qionghua Realm..." Gu Fan frowned and guessed, "Perhaps Jue Yunzi did not report the coordinates of the realm, which is why it is not recorded in the Immortal Sect's star map."

"In this light, it seems that the coordinates of the Qionghua Realm may not even exist in the Mingguang Realm."

Chang Yuan shrugged and said, "So... the problem is back to square one. We still have to wait until you officially become a disciple of the Immortal Sect before we can go to the Bright Light Realm to investigate."

"The more secretive the Qionghua Realm is, the more difficult it is to find its location."

Gu Fan suddenly stood up, clenching his fists: "Then hurry up as much as possible!"

After saying this, he walked out of the hall.

Cuiyun Palace, a side hall.

The Guiyuan Furnace is placed in the center of the main hall.

Gu Fan sat cross-legged on a futon, with more than ten jade boxes in front of him, all containing top-quality spiritual materials for crafting magical artifacts.

If Ye Lian were here, she would recognize that most of these were materials she had given to repair the Azure Cloud Ruler, but Gu Fan had intercepted them.

The Primordial Magic Treasure, the Returning Origin Furnace, can be used for alchemy, weapon crafting, and spirit forging. It can also be used in combat to injure enemies and release the Taihao Profound Light.

The defensive magic weapon is the Cloud-Covering Umbrella; the escape magic weapon is the Flying Star Wheel.

"This time, we must forge one offensive magic weapon, one magic weapon to trap the enemy, and most importantly... one defensive magic weapon!"

After much deliberation, Gu Fan finally made up his mind.

For a powerful magical weapon to be effective, it needs to be compatible with the innate divine power, the Myriad Transformations Furnace. The Mysterious Jade Soul is precisely prepared for this purpose.

The trapping magic weapon is used to prevent cultivators from escaping.

When the Luofu Immortal Sect is calculating merits, the cultivator must be completely killed.

Nascent Soul cultivators can separate their nascent soul from their bodies, and their escape speed is even faster than that of their physical bodies. They may fail if they are not careful.

He didn't want all his efforts to be in vain.

As for defensive magical artifacts, it's not that the Cloud-Covering Umbrella is bad, but rather that it's for preventing problems before they occur.

After all, his upcoming opponent is a cultivator from the Demon Sect of the Limitless Dharma Lineage.

After reviewing the "Record of All Dharmas and Sects," he realized how troublesome the cultivators of the Wuji Dharma Lineage were.

According to ancient texts, among the various magical lineages, the Creation Lineage has the most unpredictable fighting methods, the Myriad Fates Lineage is the most insidious, the Primordial Chaos Lineage is the most bizarre, and the Limitless Lineage is the most dangerous.

As for the Tai Chi lineage and the Samsara lineage, they share some similarities and are the most difficult to kill.

Leaving aside other lineages, the danger of the Wuji lineage lies not in the ferocity of the Wuji True Flame, but in the fact that the Dao intent mastered by cultivators of this lineage is "existence" itself.

Its most powerful method is not to destroy the enemy, but to completely erase their existence.

Whether it's magic, magical artifacts, or even the physical body, consciousness, and memories, all can be erased by secret methods, as if they never existed in the world.

on.

This sheer danger forced Gu Fan to take it seriously.

After three days of quiet contemplation, simulating the form, restrictions, and refining techniques of the magic weapon in his mind, Gu Fan pointed his fingers like a sword in the air, and the Guiyuan Furnace suddenly burst into flames.

In the next instant, Gu Fan waved his sleeve, and several kinds of spiritual materials flew into the furnace to be refined.

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

A pink figure flew towards Cuiyun Palace. Just as she reached the palace gates and was about to call out, a cloud of tribulation clouds, three zhang in diameter, rapidly condensed.

"Heavenly Tribulation!" Luo Ying exclaimed in surprise.

Then a beam of light shattered the glazed tiles and soared into the sky.

Wherever the precious light passed, it left a narrow gap in the void, even cutting through space itself, rushing all the way into the tribulation clouds, turning the entire cloud into a sky full of fragmented mist.

Luo Ying's expression froze instantly.

She looked up as the precious light crisscrossed above the Emerald Cloud Palace, sometimes transforming into flames, sometimes swirling with lightning, and sometimes splitting into two streams that emitted yin and yang energies.

In a short moment, he had actually practiced Yin and Yang and the Five Elements!

"receive!"

Inside the Cuiyun Palace, Gu Fan gave a low shout, and a precious light suddenly descended from the sky into his palm; it was a small pair of scissors.

Just then, Luo Ying's alluring voice came from outside the hall.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on creating another extraordinary magical treasure."
