Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 255 White Jade Palace

"somebody is coming."

He said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhenhe was startled and quickly stepped forward to follow Xu Yunfan's gaze. Sure enough, he saw a group of people rapidly approaching the White Jade Palace on the mountain path in the distance.

They were dressed in dark gold outfits, with nine suns embroidered on their robes. Their movements were refined, indicating that they were highly skilled.

"The Nine Luminaries Sect's Stepping Steps!"

Su Zhenhe's eyes widened slightly.

"Judging from the leader, he should be Zhou Tianyan, the top disciple of Tianquan Peak of the Nine Luminaries Sect. Brother Xu, aren't you worried that they'll beat us to it?"

Xu Yunfan's lips twitched slightly. He didn't reply, but just watched quietly, showing no intention of stopping them. Instead, he stood with his arms crossed, as if waiting for a good show to unfold.

Seeing his demeanor, Su Zhenhe couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xu, although the Nine Luminaries Sect doesn't have the same deep foundation as the Sword Pavilion or the Xuanzhen Sect, it is still a top sect in Yanbei Dao. Zhou Tianyan is a peerless master of his time, and his mastery of the Four Symbols Star-Fixing Instrument technique in the Nine Luminaries Heavenly Star Art is unparalleled. Even his master is inferior to him. Previously, in the secret realm, he suppressed Pei Yan to the point that he almost couldn't draw his sword. If they rush into the palace first, I'm afraid..."

“It’s alright.” Xu Yunfan said calmly, his gaze still fixed on the group of people. “Let them try first.”

"If the Jade Palace, which has been untouched for two thousand years, were so easy to enter, why would those Grandmasters of the Ninth Realm of Qi Refining be unable to leave?"

Xu Yunfan secretly channeled the Pure Yang Qi Gong in his palm. As the Pure Yang internal energy circulated, the subtle perception brought by the Marrow Cleansing Realm allowed him to clearly perceive the surging, powerful blood energy among the members of the Nine Luminaries Sect.

This energy and blood far surpasses that of martial artists of the same realm.

This group of people must all be true disciples and elites of the Nine Luminaries Sect, only they are qualified to cultivate the Nine Luminaries Qi Devouring Technique.

Nine Luminaries Absorption Technique!
Xu Yunfan's heart stirred slightly, and his eyes shone brightly.

This small, secluded realm is truly a treasure trove; everyone is flocking here to offer their cultivation techniques.

Su Zhenhe felt a chill run down his spine. Xu Yunfan wanted to use the people from the Nine Luminaries Sect to test the waters!

After all, this white jade palace has a mysterious origin; no one who has entered it in the past two thousand years has ever survived. To enter rashly would be extremely dangerous.

Below, the Nine Luminaries Sect members had arrived at the palace gate. The leader raised his hand and pressed it against the gate, as if he wanted to force it open.

However, the moment his palm touched the door, the five ancient characters on the lintel suddenly lit up with dazzling golden light, and a vast radiance burst forth!
"boom!"

The members of the Nine Luminaries Sect were struck as if by lightning, instantly blown away by the sword energy. Two of them even vomited blood on the spot and their aura weakened.

Xu Yunfan's eyes showed disappointment.

"He's not dead?"

Xu Yunfan's eyes flashed. It seemed that over the past two thousand years, although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth still existed in the small world secret realm, it was gradually decreasing, and the White Jade Palace was nothing more than an inanimate object.

Although this place is in the center of a small, secret realm, the mountain range does not converge, and spiritual energy cannot gather at all.

Two thousand years ago, it was of no harm, but in the two thousand years since the spiritual energy dissipated, it has become a fatal flaw.

Two thousand years have passed, and even if the Jade Palace still possessed extraordinary power, it has likely been weakened to an unimaginable degree.

Although the Nine Luminaries Sect members were forced back by the sword energy, Zhou Tianyan, the leader with a cold and stern face, showed no sign of panic. He even sneered and drew a long, crimson sword from behind his back.

The blade was long and narrow like a crescent moon, with blood-red patterns flowing along its edge. As soon as it was drawn from its sheath, it emitted a tremor like a dragon's roar, actually forcing the remaining Qinghui back three zhang!

"Nine Burning Blade?" Su Zhenhe's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "The Nine Luminaries Sect actually handed over this sect's divine weapon to Zhou Tianyan!"

Xu Yunfan also stared intently at the long sword in Zhou Tianyan's hand. He had seen this sword recorded in the "Records of the Northern Yan Army". It was said to have been forged by tempering the earth's core fire marrow for a hundred years. On the day the sword was completed, it attracted thunder and fire from the nine heavens. It was a genuine seventh-order divine weapon.

I once heard Fu Jin boast when he was drunk that back then, the Nine Luminaries Sect forcibly invited the founder of Divine Weapon Ridge to the Nine Luminaries Sect to temper this sword, which took two generations of masters from Divine Weapon Ridge who were capable of forging divine weapons.

Zhou Tianyan bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the blade.

In an instant, the blade's markings lit up with a blinding blood-red light, and the phantom images of nine suns emerged from the blade's edge.

He roared and, gripping his sword with both hands, slashed down with all his might at the White Jade Palace gate.

boom!
click!
The moment the blade struck the ancient characters on the lintel, it seemed as if the entire mountain peak trembled violently.

The remaining half of the mountainside shed many rocks, nearly burying the Jade Palace.

The five ancient characters, imbued with a clear radiance, were cleaved in two, their golden light dissipating. The light emanating from Zhou Tianyan's blade also shattered inch by inch, sparks flying everywhere, and the blade wedged itself three inches into the doorway!
Even the towering, clear light that shot straight into the sky vanished completely.

"open!"

Zhou Tianyan's face was ferocious, his arms were bulging with muscles, and the blood-red patterns on his blade were frantically drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy.

With a sickening metallic twisting sound, the slit that had been cut open slowly expanded to two fingers wide, and the clear light overflowing from inside instantly melted the flesh and blood of the three Nine Luminaries Sect disciples in the front row!
Xu Yunfan stared at the longsword that was gradually developing cracks, and suddenly sneered: "Using a divine weapon as a sacrifice? How ruthless."

The blood patterns on the blade were visibly fading, clearly indicating that Zhou Tianyan was willing to destroy this inherited divine weapon in order to force open the door.

Su Zhenhe, standing to the side, couldn't help but say, "Zhou Tianyan was willing to shatter his divine weapon to enter, he must know the secret! Brother Xu?!"

As they were talking, Zhou Tianyan had already flashed into the palace, and the remaining disciples of the Nine Luminaries Sect followed closely behind.

Only the Nine-Burning Blade, its body nearly shattered and cracked, remained.

"pity……"

Ignoring Su Zhenhe's anxiety, Xu Yunfan couldn't help but sigh, "Having lost all its spirituality, this divine weapon that once shook Yanbei has ended up like this."

After all, as the most talented person in the Heavenly Craft Cave Weapon Forging Hall, someone who could forge sharp-edged weapons at will, he could only watch helplessly as such a divine weapon was wasted and destroyed.

"These people deserve to die."

Without further hesitation, Xu Yunfan stomped his foot and shot towards the White Jade Palace like an arrow.

Su Zhenhe hurriedly followed.

"Brother Xu, wait! The five characters on the lintel of this palace are said to be ancient immortal script, containing a terrifying method of attack. Our Xuanzhen Sect's predecessors have speculated that certain conditions may be required for safe entry..."

"The Nine Luminaries Sect members have all gone in, and you're still babbling on here."

Su Zhenhe fell silent instantly.

As they were speaking, the five ancient characters on the palace lintel suddenly shone with a dazzling, clear light.

Xu Yunfan instantly felt an aura as vast as the sea rushing towards him, forcing him to take a step back. The force released from his feet actually pressed out a three-inch footprint.

The Xuan Steel Body, forged a hundred times, automatically activated, and a metallic luster appeared on its surface.

Su Zhenhe's face turned pale: "Brother Xu, be careful! According to the records of our sect, the clear light of the White Jade Palace gate will become stronger and stronger as the resistance grows! Zhou Tianyan only managed to find an opening and rush in by relying on the divine weapon to fight back."
