Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 428 Gate of Boundaries
Watching the departing figure break through the barrier, a strange light flashed in the eyes of the Bodhisattva of Wonderful Truth, before finally sighing.

If it weren't for True Lord Qingyuan's presence, she would have easily handled the matter of the Suspended Mountain Blessed Land.

If the Pure Land of Bodhicitta wants to flourish, it still needs to work hard.

She made a great vow to seek the Buddha's guidance, believing that only when the Pure Land of Bodhi and Chan flourished would she have a slight chance to glimpse the Buddha's position.

Upon contemplating this, the golden body of the Bodhisattva of Wonderful Truth radiated a crystalline halo, and the twelve-petaled lotus platform slowly rotated in the void.

She gazed at the setting sun in the west, watching the salvia flower in her palm bloom and wither.

This is the 3,000th simulation, and the rise and fall of the Bodhi Pure Land remains obscure.

The Wancheng Sword Sect and the Yuanshi Demon Sect are two formidable mountains that are difficult to shake.

If the Pure Land sect were to attempt to spread Buddhism eastward, it would inevitably be intercepted by the Wancheng Sword Sect and thwarted by the Yuanshi Demon Sect.

"The Eight Heavenly Dragons Plan is still missing a crucial link."

The Bodhisattva picked up a wisp of the dissipated incense and vow power with his fingertips, and the Shurangama Mantra hanging on the beam, which had been moving without wind, revealed the verse covered in gold paint on the title page: "If the Pure Land does not flourish, I vow not to become a Buddha."

This was the grand vow she made under the Saha tree years ago, in order to seek the position of a great Buddha. Now it has become the heaviest shackle. Unless she can convert that newly promoted "Zhenwu" and turn him into a member of the Eight Heavenly Dragons, she can take another step forward.
-
Three months later, at Zhenwu Peak, the Hidden Star and Obscuring Moon Formation had been in operation for more than three months. The originally thin mist had condensed into a solid substance, and not even a trace of divine sense could penetrate it.

Xu Yunfan stood with his hands behind his back at the eye of the formation, watching the spiritual light of the entire mountain peak and the thirty-six formation flags reflect each other.

The low-level magical artifacts looted from Xu Tian and the others were now gleaming with a jade-like luster under the nourishment of the earth's veins.

Unfortunately, the material is too low-end. If some high-quality array flags were found and nurtured for hundreds or thousands of years, it might be possible to create a magic weapon.

Nurturing and sustaining by heaven and earth, its natural power is of the highest caliber.

"It's done!"

Xu Yunfan looked at the smoothly operating magic array in front of him and was extremely satisfied.

He glanced at a message that popped up on his screen.

'Your "Introduction to the Dao of Formations" is nearing completion.'

After achieving a certain level of proficiency, a large number of basic applications of magic arrays appeared in his mind, which naturally made him more adept at using them. The Hidden Star and Obscuring Moon Array he had previously set up was full of flaws, so he couldn't stand it and rearranged it.

It seems that due to the improvement of his own cultivation level, he comprehended the initial understanding of the Dao of Arrays extremely quickly. In just three months, he had already deduced it to the minor completion level.

The progress is encouraging.

"You two stay here and guard the house, and cultivate diligently."

"I will obey the Peak Master's command!"

Looking at the two young Taoist disciples, a boy and a girl, Xu Yunfan gave them a few casual instructions and then paid them no further attention.

As the master of a peak, it would be unsightly to be all alone, so he naturally selected two outstanding talents from among the newly recruited members of the Yuanshi Sect to fill the position, as a way of thanking them for their popularity.

"It's time to leave."

After leaving Zhenwu Peak, Xu Yunfan went straight to the southeast corner of Yuanshi Sect.

The boundary gate cast by the Yuanshizong was surrounded by nine bronze pillars etched with the map of the Taihua Lingxu boundary, and the star sand on the ground rippled with his footsteps.

He took out the boundary symbol he had obtained from Master Baiyue, a red jade token inscribed with the words "Divine Martial", and embedded it into the central array eye.

As the token was returned to its place, the map patterns on the bronze pillar lit up with a faint blue light one by one.

Xu Yunfan activated the Turtle Breathing and Spirit Concealing Technique from the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture, closing all the pores on his body like a hibernating tortoise, shrinking the tumor on his spiritual platform to the size of a mustard seed, and perfectly suppressing the true essence fluctuations of the Foundation Establishment stage to the peak level of Qi Refining.

Unfortunately, the Turtle Breathing Concealing Divine Technique is not yet fully perfected. If it could reach perfection, this technique alone could conceal the secrets of heaven, making it difficult for divination techniques to find its traces.

Although he can still conceal his deductions, if the opponent possesses a celestial treasure for calculation, they can easily uncover his subtle clues. While celestial treasures are rare and exceptional, we must still be wary.

Now that he has entered the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he has also mastered the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture. However, Xu Yunfan speculates that he will need to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment before he can cultivate this scripture to its fullest potential.

That's a long way off.

Xu Yunfan sighed, then gathered his own energy, his magical power submerged in his dantian, shrinking back and remaining still, like a tortoise and snake intertwined, as if hibernating on ice.

When the divine senses peering from outside the formation swept across, they only detected the mixed auras of ordinary Yuanshi Sect disciples. They glanced at them casually and then stopped paying attention.

As the ninth bronze pillar was fully lit, the boundary symbol suddenly burst forth with dark light, tearing open a crack in the air with grayish-white mist at its edges.

Xu Yunfan immediately sensed the aura of the Divine Martial Realm emanating from the other end of the rift.

That was a spiritual energy fluctuation that was thinner and more mixed than that of the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm, making it difficult for him to even step on it.

Damn, after being in such a nice environment for so long, it's hard to adjust to going back to this muddy place.

He made one last check of the Zhenwu Sword hidden in his sleeve, confirming that all thirty-six magical nodes had been properly sealed with the Xuanwu Demon-Suppressing Seal, before transforming into a stream of light and disappearing into the boundary gate.

The moment Xu Yunfan transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the boundary gate, strange ripples appeared in the void thirty feet away from the boundary gate.

Two blurry figures emerged from the shadow of the bronze pillar, one of whom was a pale-faced cultivator holding a celestial mirror.

Just as the rift in the boundary gate was about to close, the purple-robed elder suddenly severed the causal thread and coldly sneered, "You've gone in?"

The figure beside him nodded slightly: "The True Lord has only managed to buy us this little bit of time... It's just that this guy had to choose between practicing this scripture, which is currently the only innate metal nature that can be touched and verified."

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with greed.

The purple-robed elder sneered, "What, you want to reincarnate and start cultivating again?"

Upon hearing this, the tall, thin figure couldn't help but sigh, shook his head slightly, and said nothing more.

He didn't have the guts; this True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture was a hot potato for him.

Anyone who practices this will be screwed over.

The mirror in the hand of the cultivator beside him reflected the fluctuations of Xu Yunfan's suppressed cultivation aura, and he hoarsely continued, "He lowered his cultivation to the peak of Qi Refining."

He flipped his hand, revealing three blood-red talismans. "It's the perfect time to pick the fruit."

He looked at the group and tilted his head: "Shall we go in together?"

"It's settled then. I want his body, and whoever wants the divine martial foundation that has been condensed can have it."

"This is what the True Lord wants; whoever takes it will not even be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation!"

"..."

Then, the powerful aura of the three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators suddenly subsided, as if suppressed by an invisible hand.

The purple-robed elder made hand seals and chanted incantations, causing blood-red patterns to appear around the three of them. Their cultivation levels visibly dropped layer by layer, eventually stabilizing at the peak of the Qi Refining stage.

Just as the rift in the boundary gate was about to close, three figures transformed into streaks of light and filed in, disappearing into the gray-white mist.

As Xu Yunfan was passing through the boundary gate, his heart skipped a beat. Under the warning of his martial arts intuition, he subconsciously activated the martial arts heavenly eye between his eyebrows to receive the surrounding information flow.

Xu Yunfan raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, before a smile appeared in them.

"Something interesting..."
