Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 440 Azure Dragon Thunder Pearl Locking and Suppressing Fortune Method

"I will pass on to you the Azure Dragon Thunder Pearl Locking Calamity and Suppressing Fortune Technique, which can sever the karmic seeds sown in the Nine Abyss and remove the confusion in your heart. After you have mastered it, there will naturally be things for you to do, at which time you can get rid of the unhappiness in your heart."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunfan felt slightly relieved. It seemed that this True Monarch Qingyuan was still protective of his own, so he hadn't chosen the wrong side.

However, we still need to be cautious about what will happen next.

The voice of True Lord Qingyuan suddenly became ethereal, "When the time is right, I will naturally get revenge for you."

There are no good people within the Yuanshi Sect.

He respectfully cupped his hands and said, "This disciple thanks the True Lord for his generous gift. I will diligently study this 'Azure Dragon Thunder Pearl Locking Calamity and Suppressing Fortune Method' and live up to the True Lord's expectations."

The voice of True Monarch Qingyuan grew increasingly ethereal, yet it carried an undeniable authority: "The karma sown by that scoundrel Jiuyuan is not something you should bear. Just focus on your cultivation, and when you have mastered your skills, you will have your chance to shine."

Xu Yunfan's heart stirred, and he thought to himself, "Does the True Lord mean that I should personally settle this grudge?"

Upon further reflection, Xu Yunfan immediately rejected the idea, perhaps preparing to disrupt someone's event when the time was right, as for killing the True Lord.

Xu Yunfan dared not think about it.

The True Lord had already refined the Golden Elixir. After swallowing a single Golden Elixir, he declared that his fate was in his own hands, not in the hands of Heaven.

The Golden Core True Lord is an existence that has attained an alternative path to immortality. Even if their physical body perishes, they can still be reincarnated and re-established to the position of True Lord.

However, even the best can make mistakes.

What twists and turns might occur during the ascension of a Golden Core True Lord is unknown.

Even if a Golden Elixir True Lord possesses great supernatural powers, reincarnation and cultivation are not without their risks.

If there are setbacks during the ascension to the throne, or if enemies find the reincarnation of the person, the dangers involved are unknown.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunfan's last trace of doubt vanished.

He bowed deeply and said, "This disciple will remember the True Lord's teachings and will certainly devote himself to cultivation, awaiting the True Lord's decree."

Xu Yunfan felt as if a golden scripture had appeared in his soul, each word moving as if alive.

Just as they were about to express their gratitude, they saw that True Lord Qingyuan had transformed into a wisp of pure energy and disappeared into the Chengyun Lamp, with only the lingering sound echoing in the hall.

"If you properly refine that Ten Thousand Souls Banner, it might become your protective treasure in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunfan finally felt relieved and took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to express his stance.

You may not need the True Lord, but you cannot refuse to give it to him.

This is a matter of attitude.

If this item is not endorsed and supported by a true lord, showing it off in public might attract sabotage.

Just as Xu Yunfan was about to leave the Immortal Palace, he suddenly felt a weight in his sleeve, and a green bead the size of a longan quietly fell into his palm.

The bead was crystal clear, with lightning seemingly moving inside, and faintly emitting the sound of a dragon's roar.

Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Xu!

Master Baiyue stepped forward quickly, his eyes fixed intently on the azure bead, his tone filled with undisguised envy, “This is the ‘Mysterious Sky Thunder Bead,’ a supreme treasure refined by True Lord Qingyuan from the Azure Dragon’s Saliva on the Immortal Palace Beam. It is said that True Lord Qingyuan only obtains three drops of Azure Dragon’s Saliva every sixty years, and it takes a considerable amount of time to refine this bead.”

Xu Yunfan was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly held the azure pearl in his palm to examine it closely. He saw lightning patterns flowing within the pearl, and the faint image of an azure dragon could be seen coiling within it.

Just as he was about to ask, Master Baiyue continued, "This pearl is not only an essential item for cultivating the Azure Dragon Thunder Pearl Locking Calamity and Suppressing Fortune Method, but more wonderfully, it can also conceal the secrets of heaven. Even if other True Lords use their divination techniques to investigate, they can only see a chaotic mess."

At this point, Master Baiyue suddenly lowered his voice: "To be honest, fellow Daoist, such treasures that can avert disasters and calamities are extremely rare even in the entire Yuanshi Sect. If they were not bestowed by the True Monarch himself, even those True Persons would be envious."

His eyes flickered as he stared intently at the Xuanqiong Thunder Pearl in Xu Yunfan's palm for a long while before finally letting out a long sigh, "I have cultivated for three hundred years, yet I have not obtained such a protective treasure. I am truly ashamed."

Xu Yunfan understood the deeper meaning in his words, and without showing any emotion, he put the Xuanqiong Thunder Pearl into his sleeve, cupped his hands and said, "Senior brother is too kind. Since this item was bestowed by the True Lord, this junior will naturally cherish it."

He cupped his hands and smiled, "Senior Brother Chu is joking. You are now at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, just one step away from the Golden Core stage. Such external things must be dispensable to you."

Master Baiyue stroked his beard and smiled, "Junior Brother, you are truly blessed. This Xuanqiong Thunder Pearl can not only help you cultivate the Azure Dragon Thunder Pearl Locking Tribulation and Suppressing Fortune Technique, but it can also allow you to conceal your identity. If you complete the practice and have a heavenly treasure by your side, even the heavenly tribulation might not be able to find you."

Moreover, the True Martial Subduing Demons Scripture also contains a method of coiling like a tortoise and snake; when the two are combined…”

Master Baiyue couldn't help but clap his hands and say, "As long as you don't show yourself in the future, we might not even notice you."

As he spoke, his expression suddenly turned serious. "However, junior brother, remember this: never show this item to anyone lightly. Although it has the True Lord's endorsement, there's always a chance someone might take the risk."

After all, this bead isn't just for cultivation.

Before he finished speaking, the green bead suddenly vibrated slightly in Xu Yunfan's sleeve, emitting a clear and melodious dragon's roar.

Upon seeing this, Master Baiyue's eyes flashed with surprise. He quickly took half a step back and chuckled dryly, "It seems the True Lord has already left a restriction on the pearl. I was overthinking it."

Xu Yunfan understood and bowed again respectfully: "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."

He vaguely sensed that this seemingly small blue bead was probably far more powerful than any ordinary magic weapon.

Such a precious treasure has been bestowed upon you...

There is no love without reason in the world.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

After Master Baiyue left, Xu Yunfan looked back at the gradually closing sea of ​​clouds and stroked the black banner thoughtfully.

From within the banner came Zhang Ziyang's low voice: "Was that True Monarch Qingyuan just now the person with the highest cultivation in this realm?"

Xu Yunfan replied, "Not quite. Although the True Monarch has already cultivated the Golden Core, there is still the Nascent Soul Dao Master above him in this Yuanshi Sect."

The Nascent Soul Dao Master has transcended the mortal realm and no longer cares about worldly affairs. Ordinary cultivators would never be able to see his true face in their entire lives.

Such beings no longer manifest their forms in the world. According to the Yuanshi Sect, their true forms reside in blessed lands and grotto-heavens, comprehending the profound mysteries of the higher realms.

He gazed at the distant sea of ​​clouds, his tone tinged with emotion: "The path to immortality is long and arduous. Even a Nascent Soul Dao Master has only reached the halfway point. Only after swallowing a golden pill can one realize that one's fate is in one's own hands, not in the hands of heaven. And only those who have achieved the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage can truly glimpse the path to immortality."

After returning to Zhenwu Peak, Xu Yunfan immediately activated the magic array restrictions set up on Zhenwu Peak.

He sat cross-legged on the jade futon, placed the Myriad Souls Banner in the Xun position and the Xuanqiong Thunder Pearl in the Li position, and began to sort out what he had gained from this trip.

"Although the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture has been largely completed, it still needs to reach perfection."

He looked inward at his dantian and saw that the true essence was like mercury, slowly circulating in his meridians.

This "True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture," inherited from the Zhenwu lineage, requires meticulous and persistent practice once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
