Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 442 Theory of Cause and Effect
Nine azure dragons weaved through the clouds, each scale shimmering with azure lightning.

Suddenly, the Azure Dragon in the very center emerged from the thunderclouds, its head flashing with dazzling lightning between its scales and claws.

Before Xu Yunfan could react, the Azure Dragon swooped down with immense force.

In an instant, a bolt of blue lightning as thick as a bucket tore through the clouds and crashed down with a deafening roar!

Xu Yunfan instinctively tried to dodge, but was shocked to find that his meridians were being suppressed by a massive mountain, and he couldn't even tremble his fingertips.

The moment the azure lightning bolt struck down from above, his bones cracked like popping beans, and fine beads of blood gushed from all seven orifices.

The excruciating pain swept through my limbs and bones like a tidal wave, yet deep within the pain surged a strange, tingling sensation.

The power of thunder was sweeping through his consciousness with overwhelming force, and with each flash of lightning, a few more clear and bright lights appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

This process was repeated nine times. When the last bolt of lightning dissipated, Xu Yunfan discovered that his divine sense had returned to his physical body.

The thunder pearl in his palm had shrunk by a size, while the illusory image of the azure dragon had become more solid, flowing along the meridians into his dantian.

Xu Yunfan suddenly opened his eyes, a feeling that was both painful and pleasurable welled up in his heart.

Within this Xuanqiong Thunder Pearl lies a Thunder Pool, which Qingyuan Zhenjun has absorbed and refined. When one's mind enters it, one will naturally be struck by countless thunderbolts. However, through Zhenjun's methods, the Thunder Pool is forcibly transformed into a thunder dragon to cleanse one's consciousness.

No wonder even Master Baiyue, who was at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, couldn't hide his envy when he saw it.

For the next seven days, Xu Yunfan entered a mysterious state.

Once he was full of energy, he would immerse his mind in the Xuanqiong Thunder Pearl. Each time his mind was cleansed by the thunder, he could feel his divine sense becoming stronger. His divine sense, which could originally sweep across a radius of ten miles, had doubled in seven days.

After each refinement, the azure dragon phantom within the Xuanqiong Thunder Pearl would be drawn into the body by divine sense, residing in the dantian and continuously spewing lightning to aid in the cultivation of the Azure Dragon Thunder Pearl Locking Tribulation and Suppressing Fortune Technique. Yu Mi could also temper that wisp of natal sword energy.

'You've mastered the Azure Dragon Thunder Pearl Locking and Suppressing Fortune Technique.'

Xu Yunfan stared at the prompts that appeared on the attribute panel, and the tense lines of his shoulders and neck finally relaxed.

After all, being watched by a True Lord is not an pleasant experience.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curse inwardly. He didn't know how that so-called "Nine Abyss Profound Fiend True Lord" Golden Core True Lord had targeted him. He hadn't even met him before suffering an undeserved disaster, which was truly infuriating.

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, which condensed into a wisp of green smoke wreathed in fine lightning within the quiet room.

The profoundness of the "Azure Dragon Thunder Pearl Locking and Suppressing Fortune Method" far exceeded expectations.

This method uses lightning as a needle and dragon's breath as a thread to reweave one's own causal relationships.

Whenever the phantom of the thunder dragon traveled through his dantian, he could clearly sense that the causal lines extending outward from him were being burned and diluted by the lightning.

Taoist immortals often live in seclusion, far removed from the mundane world, precisely to avoid entanglements with karma.

Because cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage possess the ability to reflect with their divine sense, they can vaguely perceive and manipulate the causal relationships of others.

However, the cycle of karma is inescapable, and retribution is inevitable.

If one frequently interferes with the karma and destiny of cultivators of the same level, one's own destiny will become increasingly entangled, like a spider web.

Every forcibly twisted causal line will eventually backfire on the caster, adding tribulations to the path of cultivation.

What is remarkable is that this technique does not simply sever cause and effect, but rather uses the characteristic of "impermanence" to keep the practitioner's fate in a chaotic state of "seemingly severed but not severed".

Just like now, Xu Yunfan can simultaneously sense three completely different causal paths.

One line indicates that he will eventually die at the hands of Jiuyuan, another foreshadows that he will kill the True Lord and attain enlightenment, and yet another is a chaotic image that completely breaks free from his original destiny.

This is just the beginning. If one masters it to a high level, or even reaches the state of perfection, countless variations will naturally arise. This is the essence of the "unpredictable changes" mentioned in the Locking Tribulation and Suppressing Fortune, making it impossible for those who predict the future to grasp a definite trajectory.

only……

This introductory method seems a bit reckless!
If the True Lord were to deduce these three causal paths of his, he would probably do anything to completely eliminate him.

Xu Yunfan felt a sudden sense of alarm, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

Although the "Azure Dragon Thunder Pearl Locking Calamity and Suppressing Fortune Technique" can confuse the secrets of heaven, the triple causal trajectory it is showing at this moment is too conspicuous. It is like lighting three torches at the same time in the dark, which makes it easier to expose the location and is a complete provocation to the True Lord.

If discovered by someone as skilled in divination as True Lord Jiuyuan, it would likely immediately invite a relentless pursuit.

He immediately made a hand seal to restrain the lightning, twisting the three causal lines back into a chaotic state, and secretly vowed never to use this technique again unless it was a matter of life and death.

Do not use unless absolutely necessary!
Unless one has mastered it to the point of being able to perform countless unpredictable changes, one can only use it for now, and can only get by with the Turtle Breathing and Divine Concealment Technique from the True Martial Subduing Demons Scripture.

He had already mastered the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture, and by using the Turtle Breath Concealing Divine Technique, he could easily hide his form and conceal his presence. As long as he didn't flaunt himself in front of people, and didn't deliberately leave any traces, he would be very likely to be overlooked.

Unfortunately, the other party is a True Lord...

If only we had a divine treasure.

Still not satisfied, Xu Yunfan couldn't help but sigh.

It's only natural for people to want everything.

The pale blue sword energy condensed from the Myriad Chariots Transformation Sword Technique within the dantian gradually transformed under the tempering of lightning, and fine lightning patterns began to appear on the sword, like ancient runes engraved by heavenly lightning.

As the Xuanqiong Thunder Pearl continuously released dragon breath and lightning, the sword energy finally condensed into a three-inch azure thunder sword, with lifelike azure dragon patterns coiled around its spine.

Whenever lightning flashed, the dragon pattern seemed to move as if it were alive, and occasionally, dazzling bolts of lightning would burst from the dragon's eyes.

At the same time, the cultivation of the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture also ushered in a turning point.

The power of thunder penetrated the last three acupoints, and the true essence within the body completely transformed into a mercury-like state.

Xu Yunfan's bones cracked and popped, his body was further strengthened and enhanced, and now it was no exaggeration to say that he had jade-like skin and immortal bones!

On the morning of the tenth day, a clear and melodious sword cry suddenly rang out in the cave.

The moment Xu Yunfan opened his eyes, a bolt of lightning flashed in each of them.

He opened his mouth and spat out a beam of azure light, his natal thunder sword drawing a mysterious trajectory in the air, leaving behind shimmering sparks wherever it passed.

"It's done!"

Xu Yunfan could not hide his joy.

The "Ten Thousand Chariots Transformation Sword Technique" has been initially completed, and the natal thunder sword has taken shape.

The first step of the "Azure Dragon Thunder Pearl Locking Calamity and Suppressing Fortune Method" has been completed: "Thunder Pearl Enters the Body". The Xuanqiong Thunder Pearl has been completely refined and incorporated into his essence, energy and spirit.

Even his proficiency with the long-stagnant True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture has improved considerably.

Finally, I feel a little safer.

Xu Yunfan came to his senses; his secluded cultivation had lasted for almost half a year.

He felt a deep sense of relief.
