Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 248 The Road to Survival is Severed
A divine weapon!?
Xu Yunfan narrowed his eyes slightly. This strange fragrance seemed to be caused by some kind of divine weapon. He looked at the female monk's wrist.

"Do you know the high monk's Dharma name?"

"This humble monk is a disciple of Amitabha Temple, with the Dharma name Jingming."

When the female monk clasped her hands together, her six fingers trembled slightly, and wisps of golden light emanated from them.

"You are burdened with bloodlust yet your mind is clear; you are indeed destined for Buddhism."

Xu Yunfan was speechless: "Back then, an old man from the Taoist sect said that I had no affinity with the Tao. It seems that he misjudged me."

Jingming smiled slightly: "Those who enter my Buddhist sect are not required to have certain qualifications."

Xu Yunfan: “…”

These words were a bit harsh, but Xu Yunfan didn't dwell on it. Instead, he asked, "I wonder what you mean by 'path to survival'? Is there a way out of this secret realm?"

Just as Jingming was about to answer, his expression suddenly hardened, and his twelve fingers spread out like lotus blossoms, forming several mudras before he looked up and suddenly stared at Xu Yunfan.

She quickly clasped her hands together, and suddenly cracks appeared on the eight-treasure bodhi beads on her wrist.

The faint golden luster flowing between his six fingers was dispersed three inches by the blood energy emanating from Xu Yunfan's body, and fine beads of sweat seeped from the hem of his cassock even without wind.

"Does the benefactor know what it means to be deluded by the six sense objects?"

Jingming suddenly changed his hand seal, and the seven-fold light wheel that emerged from his spiritual cultivation reflected a distorted Buddha image on the surface of Xu Yunfan's dragon scale armor. However, there was no abnormality in the real world. Only those with keen spiritual insight and who had mastered their own spirit could see this strange phenomenon.

"Benefactor, by absorbing the residual malevolent energy of the sword, you have severed the life-giving gate of this earth's veins."

Xu Yunfan's expression remained unchanged, but he quickly became alert. This bald monk had actually revealed the secret he was trying to conceal.

The Amitabha Temple in the Southern Desert is one of the six top sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the only one of them is a Buddhist Zen sect. It is extremely secretive and rarely reveals itself to the world, focusing solely on cultivating reincarnation.

Among them, the Amitabha Golden Body Sutra is the most advanced external martial arts technique in the world. However, the Amitabha Temple believes that this is only a way to protect oneself, and the real method is to cultivate for the next life.

“The path to survival…” Jingming said slowly, “The path to survival is cut off.”

What made her even more cautious was that Xu Yunfan in front of her seemed like a monstrous beast.

"I see……"

The female monk took a half step back, and under the influence of the Buddhist divine soldiers, a golden lotus phenomenon appeared beneath her feet.

It's just a bluffing thing.

Xu Yunfan's eyes were deep. No wonder the Amitabha Temple in the Southern Desert had been able to maintain its position for thousands of years. With just this one skill, the people in the feudal society would only regard it as the reincarnation of a true Buddha.

Moreover, Jingming, who was standing before them, had six fingers and resembled the Buddha. In the southern desert region, he was naturally regarded as the Buddha's holy son.

"You are actually the demonic test of this humble monk!"

Jingming's eyes were clear and bright, and a sense of peace and tranquility instantly filled the surroundings.

"Would you be willing to join me in entering the Buddhist order, cleansing yourselves of demonic influence, so that in your next life you may attain enlightenment and perform immeasurable meritorious deeds?"

Xu Yunfan's emotions inexplicably calmed down, and just as he was about to answer, he paused for a moment, then realized what was happening.

Mental confusion...

"The master's Seven Treasures Bodhi Incense is truly wondrous."

Xu Yunfan crushed three pieces of basalt with his arch, and the Thunderfire Qilin Hammer branded a charred hexagram on the ground. "But I'm afraid I can't handle this 'Buddhist affinity'."

The illusory golden lotus beneath Jingming's feet suddenly solidified, manifesting from a string of eight-treasure Bodhi beads hanging from her ankle. The surface of those Bodhi beads was covered with micro-carvings of the Shurangama Mantra, and at that moment, it resonated and vibrated with the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace on Xu Yunfan's back.

"The dragon's poison corrodes the meridians, and the sword's soul disintegrates."

The female monk suddenly looked into the depths of the crevice, and the sun wheel seal formed by her six fingers glowed with blood. "Does the benefactor know that Pei Yan's body is not yet cold, yet the sword energy of the Sword Pavilion has already entangled your three jiaos vital points?"

The six major sects of the world have existed since before the primordial spirit dissipated. Now, the Empress of the Great Zhou has raised the primordial spirit energy in the earth's veins, and many secret techniques that were previously ineffective have gained some power.

Xu Yunfan's pupils contracted sharply. Without hesitation, he activated the Lin Word Technique and entered the Lin Word State. His expression quickly calmed down, and he focused his mind on the Sanjiao meridian.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Yunfan indeed discovered that a wisp of sword energy was coiled within his internal organs and meridians.

Pei Yan's technique of disintegrating the body into the Dao was not only a desperate measure, but also planted a seed of sword energy in him.

If anyone in the Sword Pavilion noticed, they would naturally know that Xu Yunfan had killed Pei Yan.

Unfortunately, because he had cultivated the Triple Burner Sword Nourishing Technique, this wisp of sword energy lingered deep within him and could not be separated at all.

Pei Yan, Pei Yan, you truly are born with a sword-like spirit. To be able to become a member of the Sword Pavilion, your intelligence and talent are both top-notch.

Xu Yunfan was surprised, but not flustered; he was more moved than anything else.

With the attribute panel present, this wisp of sword energy will eventually melt away like ice and snow as he cultivates the Three Burners Sword Nourishing Technique to its fullest potential, thus returning to its original source.

Most importantly, this gave him a key to unlock the Nine Realms.

A double-edged sword!

Let's see if we can encounter him in Jian Ge first.

Is Pei Yan absolutely certain that he won't be able to enter the Ninth Realm?
Xu Yunfan chuckled inwardly. This dog-like person was just like Bi Sheng from the Dao Sect. It seemed that people from these top sects even had reproductive isolation in mind.

Xu Yunfan, having exited the "Lin" posture, faced Jingming's peaceful and serene eyes, accompanied by wisps of solemn and dignified beauty.

Xu Yunfan said, "I hate your eyes."

"Ok?"

Jingming was slightly taken aback.

Before Xu Yunfan finished speaking, he had already shattered the ground, and the Thunderfire Qilin Hammer in his hand, wrapped in purplish-red evil energy, shot straight into Jingming's brow.

Jingming reacted extremely quickly, forming hand seals. A large amount of visible energy suddenly burst forth from his body, transforming into twelve golden lotuses with the aid of the divine weapon, the Eight Treasures Bodhi Beads. A Buddhist chant resounded from the void: "The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, why don't you turn back, benefactor..."

The golden energy solidified, and ripples like Buddha's light spread out in layers, making Xu Yunfan's mace seem to sink into the mud.

The moment Jingming clasped her hands together, the Eight Treasures Bodhi Beads on her wrists shone brightly, absorbing the extremely thin spiritual energy of heaven and earth around her. From then on, a three-zhang-tall phantom of Buddha appeared behind her, and the swastika symbol rotated and spread from her pupils.

Within a radius of a hundred feet, the grass and trees moved swiftly without wind, and countless tiny golden rays rose from the cracks in the ground, forming a dense barrier of the Diamond Sutra text between the two.

"Playing tricks! You think you're some kind of immortal cultivator?"

As Xu Yunfan laughed, he twisted his waist and swung his arms, causing mysterious patterns to emerge on the surface of his dragon scale armor.

These Buddha lights are merely illusory images generated by the Eight Treasures Bodhi Beads, no different from holographic projections.

The next instant, the seventh move of the Thousand-Pound Mountain-Shaking Hammer Technique, "Shattering Mountains and Collapsing Stars," crashed down on the scripture text. The thirty-six scripture symbols exploded in response, but were reborn and reassembled in the Buddha's light.

Jingming rose into the air on a lotus flower, his halo behind his head as dazzling as the sun: "The evil aura of the dragon is entangled with the karma of the Sword Pavilion. Benefactor, you have fallen into the Avici Hell without even realizing it."
