Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 265 Nine Luminaries and Ten Capitals True Strength
Before he finished speaking, his five fingers had already gripped Teng Lingchuan's crown.

"speak!"

Meeting Xu Yunfan's wolf-like gaze, Teng Lingchuan trembled all over.

"..."

'You have mastered the Nine Luminaries and Ten Capitals True Power'

Seeing the words "not yet an expert" appear before his eyes, Xu Yunfan looked down at Teng Lingchuan, whose eyes had rolled back and who was foaming at the mouth.

He shook his head slightly. Elder Yin of the Nine Luminaries Sect really loved his beloved disciple too much, and actually taught him the entire Nine Luminaries Ten Capitals True Energy.

This True Energy is already considered one of the most advanced martial arts techniques in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Its blood and energy flow like the nine luminaries, and one is only qualified to cultivate it after repeatedly refining one's blood and energy nine times.

The systems of these major sects have long been integrated into a coherent whole, with each link connected to the next.

Without cultivating the Three Jiaos Nourishing Sword Technique of the Sword Pavilion, one cannot practice the Empty Bright Sword Cleansing Technique; without cultivating the Nine Luminaries Swallowing Qi Technique of the Nine Luminaries Sect, one cannot practice the Nine Luminaries Ten Capitals True Strength.

"This secret realm is truly a wonderful place..."

Xu Yunfan took a deep breath and looked at the White Jade Palace, which was gradually becoming cracked, with a sense of regret. He wondered if there were any other disciples of other sects in this small secret realm.

Xu Yunfan stood with his hands behind his back in front of the ruins of the White Jade Palace, his dragon scales still pulsating due to the essence within the Blood Sacrifice Jade.

He gazed at the cracking dragon reliefs on the dome, the shattered jade fragments falling like stars, drawing fluorescent trails in the dim light.

He ran his fingertips over the cold jade slip he had just obtained from Jiang Xu, glancing at the strange cloud patterns on it.

"What a pity for these thousand-year-old warm jades."

Xu Yunfan looked at the white jade palace with great regret. Putting aside everything else, the white jade palace, which was carved and built from jade, would be priceless in the outside world. If the blood sacrifice jade were released, it would cause people to suffer bloodshed and absorb the blood of others to strengthen their own bodies.

Xu Yunfan was certain that the vast majority of martial artists would not be able to resist the temptation in their hearts.

He lifted his foot and crushed a fragment of the Zhenmai Pillar that had rolled to his feet, and wisps of green smoke rose from the crack.

If all the top-tier martial arts techniques of each realm from the six major sects were collected, and one were to thoroughly study them all, one would surely be able to dominate the world like the former Heavenly Sword Dugu Jiu of the Sword Pavilion, making all martial artists unable to raise their heads.

However, Xu Yunfan's mind was elsewhere. Having witnessed the existence of two cultivators, he understood that immortals existed in the world. He had no interest in worldly fame and fortune, and was no longer interested in becoming the number one martial artist.

Xiuxian!

Immortality!

If it were half a month ago, he would have traversed the secret realm to search for the unique skills of each sect, just like when he obtained the Empty Bright Sword Cleansing Technique. He would have used his Qi to open up the meridians of the three jiaos, turning the rare innate sword bones of the Sword Pavilion into stepping stones.

But when Jiang Xu unleashed his various techniques, the terrifying power that transcended the understanding of martial arts ignited a desire deep within his soul.

Right now, the priority is to find a way to raise my own strength to the level of Refining Internal Organs.

This small, secluded realm is rich in spiritual energy. Although the spiritual energy gathers according to the mountain's contours to be abundant, it is still far superior to the meager, drifting spiritual energy outside.

His eyes suddenly lit up as he looked into the distance.

Xu Yunfan's eyes flashed like lightning, suddenly locking onto the billowing dust rising from the distant mountain valley.

With just a breath, the ground began to tremble, and a dark shadow rushed from the bottom of the valley, withering the vegetation and cracking the rock walls in its path. It turned out to be a group of bloodthirsty demons attracted by the rich blood aura on their bodies.

The leading demon resembled a giant ape, but had three ferocious heads. The central head was covered with green scales and had protruding fangs. The two heads on either side were red and black. The red head spewed poisonous fire, while the black head roared, and the sound waves shattered the rocks.

Its body was five zhang tall, with bone spurs protruding from its back, and its limbs were wrapped with rotten tendons like chains. Every step it took left a charred mark on the ground.

Behind the demonic ape, a tidal wave of low-level demons roared and surged forward. Among them were "Ghost-faced Caterpillars" with wings like knives and human faces growing from their bellies; "Corpse Toads" covered in pustules and writhing tentacles; and hundreds of "Blood-eyed Wolf Spiders" with eight legs like spears, their webs spitting out so thick that they actually stuck the caterpillars flying through the air into bloody cocoons...

A large group of demons huddled together, their malevolent aura soaring to the sky, almost turning the once clear sky of the secret realm dark purple.

The only problem is that the longer you stay in the small secret realm, the more frequently these demons will attack.

He has been in this secret realm for almost two months now.

Xu Yunfan raised his head. At this moment, the number of demons had exceeded one hundred, but instead of retreating, he reached behind his back and slowly pulled out the Thunderfire Qilin Hammer that had been dormant for a long time.

The moment the hammer was drawn from its sheath, the surrounding sky exploded.

As the force surged forth, the patterns on the hammerhead burst forth with purplish-red lightning, while the patterns wrapped around the hammer handle hummed and vibrated.

Xu Yunfan exerted force with his feet, causing the ground beneath him to collapse, and his body crashed into the demon horde like a cannonball.

While in mid-air, the hammer was already swung in a wide arc, and with a powerful strike, the Heavenly River Falls to Earth.

"boom!"

The hammer-like wind, carrying thunder and fire, transformed into a purple-red halo with a diameter of three zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) and swept out horizontally.

Dozens of blood-eyed wolf spiders were instantly carbonized, the ghost-faced moth's wings were shredded by the lightning force, and the rotting corpse toad's pus-filled sac burst, its venom splashing back and corroding its own kind.

Xu Yunfan's offensive continued. He turned his hammer and unleashed the "Overlapping Waves Collapsing Mountains" technique of the Thousand-Pound Mountain-Shaking Hammer. The hammer shadows were like collapsing mountains, forcefully smashing the poisonous fire and sonic waves spewed by the three-headed demon ape back into its mouth!

The demonic ape roared in pain and retreated violently, blood spilling from the corners of its three heads, which only fueled its ferocity.

It pounded its chest, and the tendons of the chains suddenly straightened, pulling nine decaying martial corpses out of the ground. The corpses, wreathed in demonic energy, lunged at Xu Yunfan.

At the same time, the pillar of fire spewed by the red-headed creature merged with the sonic waves roared by the black-headed creature, turning into a crimson-black torrent that turned even rocks into dust wherever it passed!
Xu Yunfan's gaze was cold and unwavering, and the sword energy in his Triple Burner Meridian suddenly shifted.

Although the power of the Crimson Dragon Coiling Mountain within his body was like a raging sea, it must be admitted that the sword power cultivated by the Three Burners Sword Nourishing Technique was far superior in quality to the power of the Crimson Dragon Coiling Mountain.

The upper burner uses sword energy to ward off evil, the middle burner melts iron and forges it into shape, and the lower burner uses spiraling energy to temper its sharpness.

Three-colored sword energy surged from his mouth and nose, condensing into a spiraling sword aura at the tip of his hammer.

He stepped forward, man and hammer becoming one, crashing down into the torrent!
"Zheng!"

The explosive sound of the sword's energy colliding with the demonic aura tore through the air.

The crimson torrent of the demonic ape was shredded inch by inch by the sword energy, and the aftershocks even cut the demon that pounced from one side in half.

Xu Yunfan pressed forward, his hammer flashing like a torrential downpour, each strike accompanied by explosive lightning. Demon
The ape's bone spikes shattered, its scales rolled up, and finally, its central head was smashed by a hammer. The remaining two heads still tried to struggle, but Xu Yunfan pointed his left hand like a sword and used a sword force from the Three Burners Nourishing Sword Technique to pierce into its brow, causing its skull to explode instantly!
The demons paused briefly upon seeing this.

Xu Yunfan would not let the opportunity slip by.

He took a deep breath, his golden marrow surging, and the spiritual energy of the secret realm poured wildly into his Sanjiao from his mouth and nose, quickly transforming into sword energy, and his sword momentum increased by another three points.

The Thunderfire Qilin Hammer was raised high above the head...

"Roar!"

The moment the hammer struck, crimson lightning and fire spread out, turning all the demons in its path into charred remains.

The aftershocks swept through half the mountain valley, leaving less than one in ten of the hundred-plus demons alive; severed limbs and the stench of burning flesh permeated the valley.
