Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 414: He was outmaneuvered, but he's still useful.

At this point, Chu Chengnan smiled slightly: "I never thought that your Wancheng Sword Sect, such a righteous leader, would also kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Li Qingling snorted coldly, and the Sword Heart Seal suddenly lit up, her body radiating sword energy like frost: "Indiscriminate killing? This dragon committed grave sins in its past life and is destined to die by my hand in this life. What is wrong with that? Now I am the one who saves it."

Chu Chengnan shook his head and chuckled. Most of these sword sect members were stubborn and eccentric. Once they formed their so-called sword heart, they were difficult to communicate with.

He said no more, but with a flick of his sleeve, the ice field beneath his feet trembled, the power of the earth's veins surged, and it was as if an invisible mountain rose from the ground, completely suppressing Li Qingling's sword intent.

Upon seeing this, Li Qingling raised her eyebrows sharply, and a long sword flew out three inches from her sleeve with a clang, the two characters "Cheng Tian" on the sword's spine gleaming with a dazzling cold light.

Ice crystals spread beneath her feet like a spider web, and her long black hair moved without wind, each strand imbued with fine sword energy.

Chu Chengnan stood with his hands behind his back, and the faint phantom images of hundreds of mountains flowed beneath his black python robe.

His voice was like the clash of metal: "Fellow Daoist Li, the ink of the 'Cold Crow Pact' from three years ago is still wet. Your sect's sir personally branded the pledge with a sword mark."

This statement was like a bucket of ice water poured over a tense atmosphere.

Li Qingling's sword finger paused slightly. Back then, the righteous and demonic paths fought a bloody battle at Hanya Pass for a hundred days. In the end, the Wancheng Sword Sect won by a narrow margin and snatched a blessed land from the jaws of the Yuanshi Sect. As a result, a total of four Foundation Establishment True Persons from both sides were reincarnated, which led to the True Monarchs of the two sects establishing a temporary "ceasefire agreement".

"Demonic cultivators are bloodthirsty and mad; how could they possibly keep their promises?"

She gave a cold laugh, her words mocking, but the faint aura of sharpness emanating from the sword gradually faded.

"I will settle the score with you in the next battle between the realms."

She transformed into a sword rainbow and soared into the sky, the remaining sword energy splitting the clouds in two.

In the wind and snow, Chu Chengnan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

"The True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture..." he murmured softly, a meaningful smile curving his lips. "Interesting."

Three days later, in the frost-covered wasteland, at the bottom of the Northern Ice Abyss.

Xu Yunfan stared intently at the pulsating celestial energy in front of him.

He naturally knew that someone had stopped Li Qingling.

Yu Congling's voice was like a cold spring striking a stone, exceptionally clear in the dark icy abyss: "You've been set up."

Xu Yunfan's face was gloomy, and the golden light of the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye between his eyebrows surged, reflecting countless fine streams of information in his pupils.

The traces of the battle three days ago flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern.

Xu Yunfan's knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists.

These clues, pieced together, outline a meticulously woven web.

From the moment he stepped out of the Divine Martial Realm, someone laid out this game that spanned the righteous and demonic paths, and he was the prey in it. Once his Dao foundation matured, it might be time to reap the rewards.

He suddenly sneered: "From the moment I stepped out of the Divine Martial Realm, I became someone's pawn?"

“A Foundation Establishment cultivator manipulates cause and effect as easily as reading the lines on their palm. Once they attain Foundation Establishment and embark on the true path, it is a completely different world from Qi Refining.”

Yu Congling's voice drifted out from the Sumeru Bag.

"They only need to leave a single idle piece over a thousand years."

Yu Congling's voice rang softly in the Sumeru Bag, "Like a poisonous spider that has laid its web, when you reach the edge of the cliff, someone will gently push you."

She paused, her voice growing colder, "Back then, when the Divine Martial True Man reincarnated and began his cultivation again, how many eyes were watching? Which of those Foundation Establishment True Man wasn't shrewd? Who couldn't guess that he might be reincarnated in the Divine Martial Realm?"

“This True Martial rank is naturally coveted by many. Even if they don’t use it themselves, refining it would be of great benefit. Naturally, they know that True Martial Master wants to regain his Martial Realm rank and re-enter the Foundation Establishment stage.” Yu Congling gave a rare cold laugh. “Perhaps he can even take advantage of the Realm’s fortune to advance further and enter the late Foundation Establishment stage. Such a temptation is enough to make those people plot against him.”

"That is to say."

His voice was calm and even, without the slightest inflection, "No matter who it is, as long as they obtain the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture and leave the Divine Martial Realm..."

With each word he spoke, another crack appeared in the ice abyss. "Whether it's an accident involving me, or the real Shenwu Zhenren, the one in charge."

"They will all become living pieces on the chessboard."

Yu Congling continued, his voice unusually solemn, "The only difference is whether you are a pawn who accidentally stumbled in, or the king they have been waiting for for a thousand years to change places."

Damn, these guys are inhuman, some are even insane.

"Divine Martial Realm"

Yu Congling's voice suddenly became ethereal, "Perhaps it also hides a secret that even Foundation Establishment True Persons covet. Back then, when the battle for the Boundary Heaven was being fought, there were three True Lords in positions: Yuanmo Sect, Wancheng Sword Sect, and Bodhi Pure Land... In the end, Yuanmo Sect won first place and seized the great fortune that was the most auspicious place in the Divine Martial Realm, thus obtaining this Boundary Heaven."

"If the will of the Realm Heaven were not to reject beings above the Foundation Establishment stage, there would probably have been True Immortals who would have forcibly entered the Realm Heaven at any cost to seek opportunities."

The ice abyss suddenly trembled. Xu Yunfan's eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly gathered up the chaotic thoughts in his mind. He shattered the ancient ice beneath his feet with one foot.

Black energy seeped from the cracked ice fissures, quickly transforming into a celestial aura that resonated with the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture within his body.

This is indeed Zhenwu Tiangang.

The world is divided into thirty-six Heavenly Generals and seventy-two Earthly Fiends, which are formed from the origin of heaven and earth and serve as the foundation for cultivators to attain enlightenment.

The Heavenly Gang is the pure and spiritual energy that corresponds to the stars in the heavens above and the dragon veins of mountains and rivers below.

Each of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals possesses its own profound mysteries. For example, the "Northern Heavenly General" is primarily responsible for killing and warfare, and its true energy, once refined, is as sharp as a frost blade.

"Ziwei Tiangang" governs one's fortune and can alter one's destiny and avert disasters.

"Zhenwu Tiangang" contains the true meaning of Xuanwu suppressing demons and is most effective against evil spirits.

Legend has it that if one can gather all nine types of celestial energy, one can trigger the "Nine Luminaries in a Row" phenomenon, where celestial stars will flow into the body, allowing one to achieve sainthood through physical cultivation. This is highly sought after by body-refining cultivators.

Earthly Fiends are turbid, heavy, and malevolent, often hidden in the earth's veins, melting hells, and ancient battlefield ruins.

Among the seventy-two Earthly Fiends, the "Karmic Fire Earthly Fiend" burns the soul and corrodes the bones, the "Mysterious Dark Earthly Fiend" freezes life force, and the "Subduing Demon Earthly Fiend" specifically destroys the foundation of cultivators.

Even more unusual earthly evils, such as the "Blood River Earthly Evil," require the slaughter of 100,000 living beings to solidify into a line in the sea of ​​blood.

In addition, there are many other types of Heavenly and Earthly Fiends.

"Starfall Celestial Gang" is carried by a meteor from beyond the realm and can be used to forge divine weapons.

"Nine Netherworld Earthly Fiends" must be collected at the entrance to the Yellow Springs, and can connect the Yin and Yang realms.

Cultivators often choose to refine techniques based on their characteristics. For example, the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture requires the Yin and Yang of "True Martial Heavenly Gang" and "Subduing Demon Earthly Fiend" to be balanced in order to condense the Divine Martial Dao Foundation in the Dantian.

"Since the other party doesn't dare to confront her directly, and even specifically sent people to stop Li Qingling."

He reached out and grasped the dark, gold-patterned Heavenly Qi, letting it coil around his arm like a living snake. "This means that it's not time for me to discard this chess piece yet."

Xu Yunfan understood that the other party was encouraging him to cultivate, and that it was not the final moment yet.
