Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 474 Han Shi, the Doppelganger
Whether it's faking death to escape, breaking the deadlock by force, or stealing the sky and changing the sun, the deduction results all point to a dead end.

At the end of every path connected to the Divine Martial Realm stands the eyes of True Monarch Qingyuan, eyes that pierce through all realms.

Three days and nights later, he slowly withdrew from the "Lin" state, but his eyes still maintained an extreme indifference for a considerable period of time. After a long while, the glimmer of humanity finally began to spread from the depths of his eyes.

Xu Yunfan took a deep breath.

The "Lin" technique is regarded as a supernatural power by the skill section, but this secret method is a closely guarded secret of the Wancheng Sword Sect, and very few people practice it.

This is because once one enters the state of "Lin" (临), if one is not careful, one's humanity will be completely extinguished, and the state of "Supreme Forgetfulness" (太上忘情) will completely take over.

If one's mind becomes extremely rational, devoid of emotion and desire, how can one cultivate immortality?

Ultimately, it can only become a rock.

To be honest, the Wancheng Sword Sect is quite sinister.

Fortunately, the attribute panel prevented him from completely falling into it.

In conclusion, after three days and nights of intense, unfettered deduction, a solution was found.

"Unless... this pool of water is completely muddied."

The Primordial Sect and the Pure Source True Lord, who were at odds, possessed the insight to see into the heavens and the netherworld and manipulated people's hearts.

The Pure Yang True Lord of the Wancheng Sword Sect, who sits atop the clouds, possesses a sword intent capable of severing cause and effect, destiny and fate.

These two have a long-standing feud with Qingyuan Zhenjun; if they could be drawn into the conflict…

Xu Yunfan's mind raced, and he ultimately ruled out the Nine Nether Profound Fiend True Monarch.

This person had an ambiguous relationship with Qingyuan Zhenjun, and the phrase "love turned to hate" seemed utterly ridiculous to the disciples of the Yuanshi Sect.

The only one who could help was that Pure Yang True Lord.

With a clearer understanding of the situation, Xu Yunfan felt more at ease. Since he had made his decision, he no longer hesitated.

But how do we lure out that Pure Yang True Lord?
Xu Yunfan's heart stirred slightly.

Since he hasn't yet mastered the inner realm of the cave, he can slow down the cultivation of the root energy of the Divine Martial Realm for now.

He immediately activated the boundary talisman and left the Divine Martial Realm.
-
In a mortal city in the Divine Martial Realm.

The clone stroked its chest, feeling the nascent sword embryo grow coldly.

Since you've been using me as bait, you'll surely rise to power and become the master!
The heavy twilight poured down, like a gray-black, turbid wave, slowly engulfing this mortal city called "Qixia".

Xu Yunfan's clone, currently bearing the rough and earthy name "Han Shi," is huddled in a dark corner of an alley behind an inn.

The rough, blue brick walls were cold and damp, permeated with years of moisture and musty smells, and felt like the festering skin of some enormous creature.

The heavy smell of cooking oil, the stench of spilled swill, and the cloying sweetness of some cheap cosmetics mingled together in this cramped space, creating a suffocatingly thick atmosphere.

He gritted his teeth and struggled to get up.

Now that the sword embryo has not yet been fully formed and all its magical power has been dissipated, it is no different from an ordinary person.

Although he possessed various martial arts techniques in his mind, he had not yet activated his blood energy, so using them would be nothing more than a show.

He moved slightly, and the thin linen shirt he was wearing rubbed against the cold, hard brick wall, making a rustling sound, like insects crawling across it.

Just as he was about to leave the alley and find a place to stay.

The clone felt a slight movement in its body, sensing an invisible pressure within, and the disappearance of the main body's senses from thousands of miles away. It naturally understood that Xu Yunfan had returned to the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm.

Han Shi shuddered, tensing up instantly, as if he had been abruptly thrown to the surface from the suffocating depths of the sea.

The heavy shackles that had long followed them like a shadow have disappeared.

An unprecedented, light, almost ethereal sense of emptiness suddenly swept over him.

"This... he's gone?" Han Shi murmured to himself, his voice hoarse as if sanded, his chapped lips moving silently. "The Divine Martial Realm... he really went back?"

He grinned.

Immediately, a scalding torrent of heat suddenly broke through all the constraints, violently crashing and churning deep within his icy consciousness!

'free!'

This thought was like a blood-red lightning bolt tearing through the sky, instantly igniting his dazed and numb soul!
'An opportunity! A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!'

An unprecedented thought of greed arose in an instant, savagely assaulting his mind.

No longer cold, programmed instructions, no longer a puppet pieced together from fragments of the main body's consciousness!
He is Xu Yunfan, no, he is Han Shi who brought this upon himself!
A vibrant, independent being, yearning to break free from all constraints.

Who wants to be a puppet forever, controlled by others? Who wants to be a spineless dog, wagging its tail at its master's feet, ready to be discarded at any moment?

Han Shi roared inwardly, accompanied by overwhelming joy.

After all, Xu Yunfan had already left the realm, giving him ample time to cultivate the Myriad Chariots Sword Transformation Technique.

With his unparalleled aptitude and exceptional talent, once Xu Yunfan re-enters the Divine Martial World, he will surely deliver an unexpected betrayal!

The faint sounds of people coming from the alley entrance could be heard: the sweet aroma of steamed cakes being sold and the rough voices of porters arguing.

The mundane details of everyday life became a backdrop to the surging thoughts in Han Shi's mind.

His breathing became heavier, his body leaned forward, and his gaze burned like two will-o'-the-wisps in the darkness, piercing through the greasy smoke and damp shadows, fixed on the murky sky outside the alley, soaked in twilight.

At the very moment when this thought reached its peak.

"Han Shi!"

The two words, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, exploded suddenly in the softest part of his mind, like broken ice and shattered jade from the depths of an extremely cold hell!

Xu Yunfan's voice!

Han Shi shuddered violently! The blood that had been burning hot with greed and delusion just a moment ago was instantly extinguished by the icy water pouring over his head.

All the intense thoughts, boiling murderous intent, and roaring desire for revenge suddenly stiffened and solidified, like flies frozen in amber.

Finished!

Extreme horror, like an invisible iron claw, instantly seized his heart!

How could the main body perceive this?

The chasm that separated the two worlds, the boundless void, could not isolate the fluctuation of a single thought.

The shadow of death, like a tangible, cold vine, instantly wrapped around my entire body.

If one's thoughts were discovered, the master body might die from a single thought.

He died before he could even begin his mission?!

Han Shi sighed in despair.

After a while, realizing that Xu Yunfan made no further move, Han Shi was slightly shaken and instantly understood.
A tremendous sense of relief washed over my nearly frozen limbs and bones like warm water.

He had no idea what kind of wicked and rebellious thoughts were swirling in my mind!

"exist!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Han Shi forcefully suppressed the metallic taste of blood rising in his throat and his violently pounding heart. Instinctively, with remarkable ease and an almost servile defiance, he silently screamed into the void, responding to the divine command.

"Your subordinate is here! Please give your orders, my lord!"

Xu Yunfan's voice was extremely calm, as if he had not noticed anything unusual about Han Shi.
