Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 424 Opening the True Martial Peak

He then tossed the token into the ground, and the moment it hit the earth, the entire land fell silent, even the wind seemed to freeze for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the water in the pool surged upwards like a waterfall, accompanied by a muffled thunderous roar from the ground.

The rocks beneath Xu Yunfan's feet cracked inch by inch, and blazing white spiritual flames burst forth from the cracks, yet they were as gentle as silk when they touched the hem of his clothes.

boom!
A column of pure energy, hundreds of feet in diameter, burst through the ground and shot into the sky.

Within the column of energy, the image of the Black Tortoise, coiled like a tortoise and snake, could be faintly seen. Each scale reflected the true meaning of a different martial art: the ferocity of the Crimson Fire Dragon-Swallowing Mace, the sharpness of the Sky-Splitting Cloud-Piercing Bow, and the weight of the Eight Desolate Dragon-Falling Hammer Technique.
Xu Yunfan's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at him.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder Master Baiyue repeatedly instructed that one's own mark be imprinted into the Opening Peak Token. Under the guidance of the Qi and the convergence of the earth's veins, the surrounding area can naturally be transformed into the most suitable place for this method.

These martial arts essences that Xu Yunfan had painstakingly cultivated for many years were now transformed into tangible Dao patterns, climbing up the pillar of energy.

The sea of ​​clouds was torn open into a huge vortex, and the gale layer above the nine heavens was even forced to form a dent.

The process of the mountain's growth is like a miracle.

First, seventy-two giant bronze pillars broke through the ground and stood upright, their bodies entwined with the phantom images of living dragons and snakes.

Then the rock strata surged like waves, each protruding boulder undulating like a tide, one wave higher than the next, until it submerged the bronze pillar.

When the mountain rises to a height of a thousand feet, the shape of the peak suddenly changes, rising from the ground and soaring into the sky like a black tortoise raising its head.

The eastern rock face has a tortoise shell pattern, and each natural gully corresponds to the Big Dipper. The western cliff is like a giant snake coiling around, and its winding course forms a natural sword mark with nine bends and eighteen turns.

The entire mountain is a natural formation, possessing both the imposing grandeur of the Black Tortoise guarding the mountain and the sharp, unconventional edge of a sword.

The mountainside is shrouded in mist, and seventy-two natural stone steps spiral upwards like a dragon's spine, each step gleaming with a bluish-green luster.

Even more remarkably, these stone steps adjusted their angle on their own as they grew along the mountain, eventually forming a perfect yin-yang pattern at a height of thousands of feet.

The surface of the mountain is constantly peeling away rock layers, revealing the crystal-clear basalt base inside.

The naturally formed patterns on these rock bases perfectly matched the trajectory of the magical power flowing within Xu Yunfan's body.

Whenever the mountain wind blows, the entire mountain peak emits a metallic clanging sound, as if thousands of divine weapons resonate within the rock strata.

Xu Yunfan raised an eyebrow at this sight, then quickly relaxed it.

Since the Divine Martial Immortal was the True Man of the Primordial Sect back then, his cultivation techniques must have been recorded by the Primordial Sect, so there is no need to worry about them being leaked now.

Furthermore, if one could glimpse the true scriptures simply by observing the flow of divine power, then that person would be an immortal, not a human.

The most astonishing changes occurred inside the mountain.

As the earth's veins were connected, the originally scattered spiritual energy was forcibly gathered into nine dragon-shaped spiritual veins.

These spiritual veins emit a metallic clang as they traverse the rock strata, giving rise to thirty-six natural grottoes, including "Soldier's Tomb," "Furnace," and "Sword Testing Site."

The highest peak, "Zhenwu Cave," is located at the confluence of nine spiritual veins, constantly emitting astonishingly pure spiritual energy.

As the last rock fragment was put back in place, the entire mountain peak suddenly emitted a howling sound like a tortoise and a snake.

Xu Yunfan climbed to the summit on the rainbow, each step he took resonating with the mountain.

"True Martial Peak..."

He gently stroked the back armor of the Xuanwu statue atop the mountain, and the three-headed, six-armed Dharma image rose from behind it.

At the foot of the mountain, the disciples of the Yuanshi Sect who had come upon hearing the news were deeply shocked.

Everyone knew perfectly well that the Yuanshi Sect had produced another True Person.

"Foundation building..."

Among the Yuanshi Sect disciples gathered at the foot of the mountain, an inner disciple from Baiyue Peak gripped the jade slip tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force. "Foundation Establishment... This is Foundation Establishment."

His voice trembled, his eyes reflecting the figure atop Zhenwu Peak, "I have cultivated diligently for nearly two hundred years, yet I haven't even reached the threshold of Foundation Establishment..."

The female disciple from Medicine Peak beside her stared blankly at the figure ascending on a rainbow, murmuring, "I heard that this Uncle Xu has been a disciple for less than sixty years?"

His words were filled with bitterness, "My master went into seclusion three times to attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. The last time, he didn't even leave behind any remains."

At the edge of the crowd, several disciples dressed in gray servants' clothes were even more pale.

The inner and outer disciples still have some hope, but these menial disciples are even more miserable than those on labor dispatch.

With the completion of Zhenwu Peak, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Yuanshi Sect naturally understood that Qingyuan Zhenjun had gained another Foundation Establishment cultivator.
-
"I was quite lucky. I suddenly rose to prominence without even figuring out the cause and effect of their actions."

"Now that the secrets of heaven are becoming increasingly unclear, he must have been targeted as soon as he came out."

"There's no reason for that. Is Foundation Establishment really that easy?"

Inside the Yuanshi Sect, in a certain main hall, several figures gathered, and one of them was deep in thought.

He naturally noticed immediately that Xu Yunfan was cultivating the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture. After leaving the Divine Martial Realm, he noticed it immediately and secretly laid out his plans to influence cause and effect. However, he did not expect that Xu Yunfan would successfully establish his foundation after only a short period of seclusion.

This really caught him off guard.

After a moment of silence, someone in the hall sighed.

"That empty spot, that True Lord probably won't let it go."

"Now that the die is cast, let's think of another way. I remember there are still a few lineages in the sect that haven't reached the Foundation Establishment stage."

Upon hearing this, the malicious thoughts that had arisen in the hearts of everyone present immediately subsided.

The True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture is a method of proving one's Dao through martial arts, possessing extremely strong combat power, but unfortunately, it was obtained by someone else first.
-
"what?"

Xu Yunfan stood atop Zhenwu Peak, when a sharp, piercing warning suddenly pierced his brow.

He subconsciously activated the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture, and the three-headed, six-armed Dharma image suddenly solidified, with the trigrams on the Xuanwu's back armor flowing on their own.

His divine sense swept across a radius of ten miles like a tidal wave, but when it touched a certain void, it suddenly collided with a spiderweb of causal lines.

Those threads, which should have connected him to the unknown architect, were now melting away at a visible speed, like spider silk being scorched by flames.

He instantly realized that someone was cleaning up the remaining traces, wiping their hands and feet clean.

Xu Yunfan slightly bent his knuckles, and the image of Xuanwu (a mythical beast) appeared faintly behind him.

Those broken causal lines were clearly visible in his consciousness, like a spider web scorched by a raging fire, melting away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He could naturally trace the origin, and with his innate supernatural power, the Fighting Word Technique, activated, his three-headed, six-armed Dharma form had already formed the Soul-Chasing Seal. However, after three breaths of mana flowing from his fingertips, it eventually dissipated slowly.

"They do know how to cut their losses and survive."

The cold glint in Xu Yunfan's eyes gradually faded.

It would be unwise to start a war with other factions of the Yuanshi Sect as soon as one enters the Foundation Establishment stage.

Moreover, Qingyuan Zhenjun's attitude is unclear. If we damage this great tree for the sake of small gains, it would be a greater loss than a gain.

Make a note of this for now. Once the foundation of Zhenwu Peak is solid, these lurking demons and monsters will be dealt with in due time.

"There's still a long way to go. We'll get our revenge someday. I'll remember that for now."

He has more important things to do now.

Build your own team.
