Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 465 Discovery
"He actually intends to re-enter the Divine Martial Realm."

His thoughts were racing.

The True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture and the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye Divine Power that I obtained in the Divine Martial Realm back then are still the foundation of my life.

Now that this opportunity has come again, could it be that there is truly a karmic connection in the dark?

Xu Yunfan's heart stirred slightly.

Xu Yunfan walked to the window and gazed at the fading afterglow of the Buddha's light beyond the pass.

With the departure of the Arhat Fulong, there should be no major troubles in the short term. On the contrary, the time is ripe to explore the Divine Martial Realm.

Less than a century after the end of the Three Kingdoms War, Hanya Pass had been under Xu Yunfan's hands-off management for the past twenty years.

The scale of the markets and wards within the pass has expanded more than three times since he first arrived, and the monthly tax revenue has skyrocketed from 100,000 to more than 230,000.

Those independent cultivators even spontaneously built a "ghost market" outside the gate, specializing in trading rare and exotic treasures collected from all over the Northern Continent.

Xu Yunfan did not stop him, but simply kept telling Zhou Lu to send people to collect taxes.

Although those rogue cultivators cursed "Xu the Skinflint" behind their backs, none of them ever left Hanya Pass.

This border fortress is located at the forefront of the Yuanshi Sect's territory, forming a tripartite balance with the Wancheng Sword Sect of the Southern Continent and the Bodhi Zen Pure Land of the Western Continent.

Its unique geographical location has made this place an important hub for the exchange of goods between the three continents.

Caravans from all over trade here every day, transporting the specialties of the North to the South and bringing back the rare treasures of the South to the North.

Even if Xu Yunfan skins them alive, they can still make a profit.

What's even more remarkable is that the taxes paid have been steadily increasing over the years.

From an initial monthly income of 100,000 spirit stones to a stable income of over 230,000, this achievement earned even True Monarch Qingyuan a rare expression of approval.

What's even more remarkable is that the three major sects have lived in peace for the past twenty years.

The Yuanmo Sect is busy digesting the newly acquired wonder of the Suspended Mountain in the Northern Continent, the Puchan Pure Land seems to be shifting its focus to spreading its teachings in the Eastern Wilderness, and the Wancheng Sword Sect, having recently fought a major battle with the Yuanshi Sect, naturally needs to catch its breath.

This delicate balance, ironically, gave Xu Yunfan a rare chance to catch his breath.

He calculated that it would be another twenty or thirty years before the eruption of the innate pure and turbid energy, as predicted by Master Baiyue.

This period of time is neither long nor short.

For ordinary people, it is almost half a lifetime, but for Foundation Establishment cultivators, it is just a medium-sized seclusion.

There's no need to rush.

Xu Yunfan's gaze swept over the rows of buildings inside the pass.

In the shops that displayed the banners of the Yuanmo Sect, the shopkeepers were busy tallying up their profits for the day.

This peaceful scene is a far cry from the grim atmosphere when I first arrived twenty years ago.

Suddenly, his consciousness sank into his storage bag, where six magical treasures he had refined over the past twenty years were quietly floating. Among them, the Azure Nether Chain Sword suddenly trembled slightly, subtly resonating with the energy of the Divine Martial Realm he was deducing.

"I see!"

Xu Yunfan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

The Heavenly Craftsmanship Forging Technique he obtained in the Divine Martial Realm, when combined with the "Mysterious Capital Eight Scenes Refining Heaven and Creating Cloud Book," unexpectedly aligned with the weapon-forging methods of that realm.

The fierce energy we are now seeking is probably only found in the Divine Martial Realm.

After the last crossover return, it was discovered that the time difference between the two sides was approximately one to three.

If we go again this time, we don't need to worry about a sudden change in the situation of the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm. However, just in case, we still need to leave a backup plan in the cave.

Xu Yunfan pointed his fingers like a sword and drew seven talismans in the void, then pulled out a lot of spiritual materials from the Sumeru Mustard Seed.

As the Eight Views Clouds surged, the essence of these spiritual materials was extracted. With the surging of the Eight Views Clouds, an aura avatar identical to his gradually took shape.

This is the "Cloud Book Avatar Technique" recorded in the "Eight Scenes of Xuandu: Refining Heaven and Creating Cloud Book". Although it is only a weapon-refining avatar, it is enough to deceive the detection of early Foundation Establishment cultivators. Seeing the avatar that is exactly the same, and even the aura is no different, Xu Yunfan couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

These eight scenic spots of Xuandu are truly extraordinary. I wonder where Li Baichuan obtained them from. He has a mountain of gold but doesn't even realize it!
"Fellow!"

The Dharma Body bowed to Xu Yunfan.

Xu Yunfan returned the greeting, saying, "I hope you will take charge of Hanya Pass, fellow Daoist."

The Dharma Body solemnly replied, "That is how it should be."

"It's time to leave."

He took one last look at the darkening sky outside Hanya Pass, then turned and walked towards the Boundary Array Platform deep within the cave.

Cold Crow Pass is an important town, so naturally it has a teleportation array. With a little adjustment using the boundary talisman, one can easily cross boundaries. It just takes more mana to connect to the boundary gate of the Primordial Sect.

As Zhenwu's magical power surged, the cross-dimensional runes engraved on the array platform lit up one after another.

Xu Yunfan could feel that the martial arts causal line that belonged to him in the Divine Martial Realm was now exerting a strong pulling force.

Xu Yunfan felt the space-time before his eyes distort, and eight-colored light swirled rapidly around him.

When visibility returned, I found myself in a gray and hazy world.

He subconsciously activated his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, and as the vertical lines between his brows opened and closed, the true appearance of the entire Divine Martial Realm was instantly revealed in every detail.

This world seemed to float in the chaos like a glass cup, its boundaries covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

The earth's veins are shallow and thin, and the spiritual energy is so scarce that it is almost dry. Only in a few places where martial artists gather can there still be some blood energy surging.

What alarmed him most was the structure of the sky. The membrane that should have been thick was as thin as a cicada's wing, and one could vaguely see the pure and impure air flowing in from the outside constantly seeping in.

"I see."

Xu Yunfan lightly touched the void with his fingertips, and the unique divine sense of a Foundation Establishment cultivator instantly enlightened him.

The last time he came, it wasn't anything special, but now that his understanding has deepened, he finally has a different perspective.

This is hardly a complete world; it is clearly a subordinate minor world that depends on the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm.

No wonder the Yuanshi Sect used it as a secret training ground.

The Heavenly Dao of this realm is flawed, and it cannot even withstand the full force of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Looking back now from the perspective of Foundation Establishment, we realize that there are many traces of human modification in the rules of this world.

The martial artist's so-called "practicing the fake to become the real" is nothing more than a rudimentary method of simulating the Qi-drawing techniques of the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm.

Those martial arts masters who claim to be in the realm of terrestrial immortals are at best equivalent to cultivators at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

"what?"

Xu Yunfan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Under the illumination of the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, dozens of golden chains were found wrapped around the core of the Divine Martial Realm, each chain extending into the unknowable depths of the void.

These chains are not physical entities, but rather a kind of rule-based constraint that only high-level cultivators can perceive.

This is a sealing technique that only a True Lord could set up!

It was laid out by the True Lord of the Primordial Sect!
He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

When he obtained the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture, he entered the Lin state through the Lin character technique and his spirit entered the Supreme Realm. He sensed that there were two eyes watching him from the darkness.

Looking back now, that was probably not an illusion.

The unknown True Lords have long regarded this place as a nursery, and the so-called "innate metal nature" is nothing more than bait deliberately left behind by them.

After all, according to the records of the Yuanshi Sect, the Divine Martial Realm opens once every sixty years, and each time disciples obtain opportunities, but no one has ever truly touched the core secrets.
