Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 431 The Heavenly Dao of This Place
This supreme grandmaster of the ninth realm, who once single-handedly suppressed the turmoil of the thirty-six peaks, now needed to silently recite the Tranquility Sutra and circulate his true energy for three great cycles to stabilize his mind.

He could clearly sense that the disciple before him, who had once needed his protection, was now surrounded by a mysterious power that was closer to the origin of heaven and earth than martial arts true energy.

It is far superior to true qi in quality.

Xu Yunfan has definitely broken through the terrestrial immortal realm and embarked on the path to immortality!

Xu Yunfan nodded with a smile, a simple gesture that caused the plaque bearing the inscription "Tao follows nature" hanging in the hall to suddenly light up with golden light.

He glanced at it, and just as he was about to look away, he paused slightly, turned his head and examined it carefully.

"This is the natural energy of the Dao..."

Xu Yunfan frowned slightly, and his divine sense spread out like ripples.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator's essence, energy, and spirit have long been condensed into one, and their memories are crystal clear; there should be no sense of ambiguity.

But the Taoist charm flowing on the plaque at this moment seemed familiar, as if seen through a thin mist.

He suddenly remembered that the tattered battle flag he had seen in the Xuan Tian Pavilion Jia-character warehouse of the Yuan Shi Sect in the Taihua Realm also retained such aura.

But the root of the problem isn't here; it seems something extraordinary has been discovered.

While he was pondering, several young disciples nearby could not withstand the pressure of the True Martial aura permeating the air and had to hold onto the pillars to keep their balance.

They were horrified to discover that the internal energy they had painstakingly cultivated over the years was flowing backward through their flesh and blood, as if it were actively avoiding the aura of that being.

Hearing the commotion beside him, Xu Yunfan quickly came to his senses. Looking at Bi Yuan, who was both surprised and delighted, Xu Yunfan smiled.

"Master!"

Bi Yuan felt relieved and asked with concern, "How have you been lately?"

"It's not bad. I had some opportunities in the Taihua Realm, and now things have finally settled down."

Xu Yunfan spoke casually, laughing, "I have now successfully established my foundation. I am currently at the Yuanshi Sect in the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm. After obtaining the qualification to open a peak and stabilizing somewhat, I will return."

Bi Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

As the sect leader of the Dao Sect, and having previously had disciples of the Yuanmo Sect interrogated by Xu Yunfan, he naturally knew the weight of the words "opening a peak" in the upper realm sects.

That means that the disciple in front of him, who once needed his protection, is now the master of a peak and can truly control the fortune of a region.

"Circumstances?" Bi Yuan's voice was tinged with emotion. "You've only been away from the Divine Martial Realm for three years..."

Three years?

Xu Yunfan subconsciously did some calculations with his fingers, then raised an eyebrow slightly.

It seems that the flow of time in the Divine Martial Realm is different from that in the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm. No wonder the time span for each entry by the disciples of the Primordial Sect is not very large.

"Master, do you still remember what you said when you saw me off?"

Xu Yunfan put away the token and stood with his hands behind his back. "Having learned that there is a true path to immortality in the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm that breaks through the shackles, and that the Divine Martial Realm is a dry well, I, this frog, must jump out and see the real world."

Upon hearing this, Bi Yuan couldn't help but smile.

Of course he remembered it; it was the conversation he had with Xu Yunfan on the top of Qingwei Mountain the night before Xu Yunfan left.

“It seems…” Bi Yuan took a deep breath, trying to calm the turbulent blood in his chest. Even with his composure, he couldn’t help but have a few thoughts rise in his mind. He laughed and said, “You frog not only jumped out of the dry well, but also transformed into a dragon.”

"Transform into a dragon? Master is joking."

Xu Yunfan shook his head and chuckled, his eyes seemingly filled with the image of a tortoise and snake intertwined. He gently stroked the hilt of the Zhenwu Sword, and the blade immediately shimmered with a layer of bluish-green light, with faint phantom images of a tortoise and snake moving along its edge.

"True dragons are the true spirits of heaven and earth; even Golden Core True Monarchs would show them deference. With my meager cultivation, I might be able to contend with dragons, but I don't even qualify as a true dragon?"

Bi Yuan sighed, "They are much better than the loaches in our pond."

After a pause, Bi Yuan looked Xu Yunfan up and down and said with concern, "You've suffered."

Xu Yunfan felt a warmth in his heart and smiled, "It wasn't so much suffering as some setbacks, but overall it went smoothly." As he spoke, he reached out and pressed down, and a beam of green light entered Bi Yuan's brow.

"This is?"

Bi Yuan was startled, feeling as if a profound scripture had appeared in his Purple Mansion.

"The True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture," Xu Yunfan said softly. "The path I am currently cultivating is enough to allow Master to break through the shackles of the ninth realm."

In the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm, every path of cultivation has its pioneers.

Once a cultivator achieves the Foundation Establishment stage, if later generations study his true scriptures, it will unknowingly add assistance to his path of cultivation. The more people study his scriptures, the more stable his foundation becomes, and the smoother his path of cultivation becomes.

For this reason, every Foundation Establishment True Person establishes a peak to spread the Dharma and accepts many disciples.

It is both to inherit the tradition and to build the foundation of one's own lineage.

This is a consensus among cultivators in the Taihua Realm, and it is also an inevitable path after Foundation Establishment.

This is why, without exception, all Foundation Establishment True Persons, once they have established their foundation, will open their own peaks to transmit the Dharma and form their own lineage.

With more people cultivating, there will naturally be more positions available for Foundation Establishment.

Thinking of this, Xu Yunfan couldn't help but recall how their energy had connected and he had sensed the person cultivating the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture in the Bodhi Pure Land.

It must have been concealed by the True Lord beforehand, otherwise how could he have sensed it only when he was holding the True Martial Sword?

Insidious, extremely insidious.

But Yuan Shizong was one step ahead and managed to acquire the Zhenwu Sword.

Both sides are indispensable, and a life-or-death battle is inevitable in the future.

Now, thanks to Zhenwu Peak, Zhenwu Sword, and the Zhenwu Subduing Demons Scripture enhanced by the attribute panel, he can open his own cultivation lineage, and the cultivation energy of his descendants will not be wasted on someone else.

Bi Yuan's hands trembled slightly.

He had cultivated for nearly three cycles of sixty years, and had been stuck at the "union of god and Dao" realm of the nine realms of martial arts for almost twenty years. At this moment, this scripture was like a beacon in the darkness, illuminating his path forward.

"you"

"Master."

Xu Yunfan interrupted him, his gaze suddenly becoming profound, "The heavens of the Divine Martial Realm are about to change."

The moment he uttered those words, a thunderclap suddenly boomed in the clear sky outside the palace.

Bi Yuan suddenly looked up and saw that the sky, which was originally cloudless, was now showing strange phenomena.

Bi Yuan looked up abruptly and saw that the once clear and bright sky had suddenly changed color.

The clear blue sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand, and amidst the churning clouds, several thunderclaps suddenly exploded out of nowhere.

Heaven's wrath?
Not really.

Xu Yunfan glanced at it indifferently and then looked away. What he had done would naturally displease the Heavenly Dao of the Divine Martial Realm, and with this feeling in his heart, strange phenomena would naturally descend.

However, he was originally a native of the Divine Martial Realm and had the merit of slaying external demons. The Heavenly Dao was an unconscious entity and could do nothing about it.

"This time I'm back."

When Xu Yunfan explained his purpose, Bi Yuan was naturally excited and was more than willing.

Among the Daoist disciples who have reached this point, which one wouldn't want to go further and seek the Dao fruit of immortality?

In the end, Bi Yuan made a decision in an instant, "Alright! Alright! Alright! I will ring the Dao Sect Bell later to summon the Ninth Realm Elders from seclusion and see if they are willing to go with you!"
