"What is fellow Daoist He up to?"
"Could it be that he's not satisfied with forming the Golden Core using three laws?"
"Does he want to add another law?"
Li Fan, who had been standing guard, couldn't help but think to himself when he saw this scene.
"If it succeeds, everyone will naturally rejoice. But being too greedy might lead to trouble."
However, it was already the most critical moment for the Golden Core formation, and Li Fan couldn't forcibly interrupt He Zhenghao's process.
He could only be patient and wait.
"I wonder what the fourth law for fellow Daoist He's Golden Core formation is?"
"I didn't hear him mention it when he came with me before. It's unlikely that he concealed it from me."
"In that case, did he comprehend something new during the process of forming the Golden Core?"
Li Fan pondered silently.
He didn't have to wait long.
Soon, he knew the answer.
Just half a day later, the three undersea faults below suddenly shook violently, as if experiencing an underwater earthquake.
It wasn't due to the reappearance of the energy of the Earth Veins or Mountains and Rivers.
Instead...
Li Fan's expression hardened, and he became solemn.
He raised his guard and stared intently below.
With the increasing intensity of the tremors, cracks quickly appeared and extended, rapidly spreading across the seafloor and mountains.
In just a moment, the three undersea faults that stretched for hundreds of miles were covered with cracks.
It seemed like they were about to collapse at any moment.
The shaking intensified.
As if...
Something was about to emerge from beneath!
A muffled cracking sound came from the depths of the seafloor.
The continuous rumble was unceasing.
Li Fan turned to look at He Zhenghao and saw that his expression remained unchanged.
It seemed like he had been waiting for whatever was hidden in the depths of the sea.
After thinking for a moment, Li Fan didn't make any extra moves.
Out of caution, he activated a Disappearance Talisman and moved far away.
He silently observed the development of the situation.
The earth roared, and the seafloor collapsed.
The three undersea faults began to collapse with a bang.
With this spectacle, when the seabed was almost completely destroyed from the inside out, the thing buried inside finally revealed its form.
A magnificent three-sectioned palace complex, spanning dozens of miles, appeared before Li Fan.
The buildings emitted an ancient aura.
On the tallest building, one could faintly see the words "Taiyuan Palace."
"What is this? The reappearance of an ancient sect's ruins?"
Li Fan was somewhat surprised because such a massive-scale ruin had never been uncovered in previous lives.
"Could it be that the fluctuations caused by He Zhenghao forming the Golden Core triggered a disturbance in the laws, breaking the seal of the ruins?"
In the midst of Li Fan's speculations, the earth continued to roar.
Creaking and grinding sounds of compression and collision were incessant.
"Boom!"
It was as if something had burst open.
The seafloor collapsed completely.
The palace complex, led by the Taiyuan Palace, ascended slowly in front of Li Fan.
"Not good!"
Li Fan's face changed slightly.
He saw that this massive group of buildings was about to crash up from below.
At that moment, he was about to grab He Zhenghao and escape the area covered by the palace complex.
"Fellow Daoist, no need to worry about me! I have a way to escape!"
At this moment, He Zhenghao's voice transmission sounded in Li Fan's ear.
Li Fan didn't make any pretense. His figure flickered repeatedly.
In an instant, he escaped from the dangerous area.
Looking back, he couldn't help but sweat for He Zhenghao.
He saw He Zhenghao sitting upright, positioned above the ascending palace group.
When the massive buildings, carrying unmatched momentum, were about to collide with him, he neither dodged nor avoided; instead, he wore an expression of joy and spoke loudly, "The heavens are helping me!"
A formation diagram appeared above his head, and He Zhenghao faced the incoming group of buildings, continuously forming seals with his laws.
In an instant, a dense yellow and blue aura covered the area, forming a massive net above the ascending palace.
However, just moments later, this giant net was torn to shreds. In the face of such a massive group of buildings, it was like paper, incapable of blocking them even for a moment.
Yet, with the net acting as a buffer, He Zhenghao avoided the fate of being directly crushed.
With yellow and blue energy dispersing everywhere, He Zhenghao spat out a large mouthful of blood and swiftly retreated.
Just before leaving, he reached out with his hands, as if grabbing something from the group of buildings.
After He Zhenghao escaped, Li Fan quickly approached to check his injuries. He himself, however, paid no attention to this, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He stared at the continuously rising buildings, his eyes becoming increasingly bright.
"Can even mountains and rivers ascend?"
"Indeed!"
Then, a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
"The Ascension Law! This is the law that allows even mountains and rivers to ascend..."
"Earth Veins, Mountains and Rivers, Hidden Abyss, Ascension!"
"All four laws are complete, and my core is formed!"
He Zhenghao burst into wild laughter.
Before the laughter faded, a violent wave of spiritual energy erupted from his body, forcing Li Fan to retreat.
The yellow energy of the Earth Veins, the blue-green energy of the Mountains and Rivers, the deep black energy of the Hidden Abyss, and the purple-white energy of Ascension—all appeared around He Zhenghao at once.
They formed a vortex of colorful energy, intertwining and merging around the core of the "Hundred Veins Formation Diagram."
...
Watching this spectacular scene from the side, Li Fan couldn't help but feel emotional.
"I didn't expect fellow Daoist He to actually succeed in synthesizing four laws."
"A Golden Core cultivator with four laws, I'm afraid there are very few in the entire Cong Yun Sea."
"From now on, his status is likely to be significantly different."
"This Ascension Law, like the Hidden Abyss Law, seems to resonate with his 'Mountain and River Hidden Dragon Technique.'"
"I didn't expect that there would be such a ruin in the breakthrough location he chose."
"This is He Zhenghao's fortune."
In his spiritual sense, the continuously ascending palace complex was rising faster and faster.
It was about to emerge from the sea surface.
However...
Li Fan was slightly stunned.
Because the scale of the palace complex seemed to be shrinking continuously.
"Not an illusion..."
"In that case."
In an instant, Li Fan thought of something.
In the twelfth life, Li Fan had heard that during the 22nd year, a cultivation abode ascended from the seafloor in the northwest area of the Cong Yun Sea, and then flew directly towards the direction of the Jiushan Province.
Many curious cultivators followed, but none returned, disappearing without a trace.
"Is it that abode?"
Li Fan suddenly realized.
"I don't know which sect's ruin it is, but it can change size and fly like a magic treasure."
"Well... maybe I can publicize this and let other cultivators explore it for me."
"With it being so well-preserved and the sect's ruins being so miraculous, it will certainly attract many cultivators to explore."
Li Fan subconsciously started to plan.
Not long after, a special fluctuation interrupted his thoughts.
In He Zhenghao's abdomen, a Golden Core was about to take shape.
On the surface of the Golden Core, the appearance of a formation was faintly visible.
The aura on his body soared in an instant.
He Zhenghao had successfully formed his Golden Core.
At the same time, a large amount of feedback spiritual energy also appeared in Li Fan's dantian.
"What is fellow Daoist He up to?"
"Could it be that he's not satisfied with forming the Golden Core using three laws?"
"Does he want to add another law?"
Li Fan, who had been standing guard, couldn't help but think to himself when he saw this scene.
