Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 493 True Body and Dao Physique
Lü Chunyang fell into a long silence, and the hall was filled with a stagnant stillness.

His gaze fell on Xu Yunfan, who was respectfully prostrating himself below, and his heart softened in the end.

He had been a Golden Core True Monarch for many years, but due to the exclusion by the Wancheng Sword Sect, he remained alone for many years. Now, the appearance of Xu Yunfan has broken this situation.

"After all, they are descendants of my Daoist sect..."

Lü Chunyang sighed inwardly.

He was unwilling to sever this deep-seated connection to the Taoist lineage.

What impressed Lü Chunyang even more was that this young man, after leaving the sect, was able to reach the Foundation Establishment True Person realm solely through his own efforts. Such talent and perseverance are truly rare in this world.

If the other party were a good-for-nothing, it would be fine, but Xu Yunfan has such potential now, so naturally he needs to be helped.

Furthermore, compared to the Wancheng Sword Sect, which has strict rules and little room for maneuver, the Yuanshi Sect's internal structure is obviously more complex and offers more room for him to operate skillfully.

This space provided a crucial stage for his subsequent plans.

In an instant, the advantages and disadvantages became clear.

Looking at this junior who possessed the Daoist lineage, outstanding abilities, and was also entangled with Buddhism, Lü Chunyang made a decision.

In an instant, several ancient stars on the dome of Lü Chunyang's Void Realm suddenly shone brightly, their radiance like a ten-thousand-foot-long ribbon, piercing through the void.

Among them, the ultimate sword intents of "Heavenly Secrets", "Calculation", "Peeping into the Truth and Understanding", and "Tracing the Root" suddenly converged and shone brightly, flowing endlessly.

Each sword intent manifests as a physical form of mysterious light.

These sword intents intertwined, emitting wisps of light, like interwoven ribbons of starlight, echoing endlessly across the dome.

Its light was both blazing like flames and chilling like ice, reflecting the turbulent waves of cause and effect in Lü Chunyang's heart.

This is not a technique of killing, but a deductive manifestation of his Golden Core True Monarch cultivation.

Wherever the sword's radiance reached, it left ripples in the void.

The brighter the light, the more solid the worldly wisdom and composure between Lü Chunyang's brows became. Just as he had predicted, this move was both to relieve Xu Yunfan's predicament and a strategic move in the game.

After a long time, a preliminary strategy that could not only solve the child's predicament, but also give the Dao Sect and even himself an edge in the power struggle among various parties had quietly taken shape and was clearly imprinted in his mind.

After a long silence, he spoke slowly and clearly, “The two words ‘predestined fate’ seem unsolvable, but they are not a dead end.”

The key lies in the 'carrier'.

That Buddhist affinity is not imprinted on the true spiritual origin of you, a person named 'Xu Yunfan', but rather entangled in the cause and effect of your existence in this life, in this physical body, and in the primordial spirit you represent.

The plan for the Bodhi Pure Land requires a 'vessel' that conforms to their laws and can bear the projection of Buddhahood, a 'seed of the Way' of sufficient weight.

A glint of worldly wisdom flashed in his eyes: "If you can create a 'clone' of sufficient weight that can take root and grow in the Eastern Wilderness, you can cleverly and thoroughly 'transfer' and 'bind' this enormous 'Buddhist affinity' that you have been forcibly pulled into onto it."

Let that clone become a substitute to carry the cause and effect of all the Buddhist teachings spreading eastward to the Pure Land of Bodhi.

Using a 'clone' to replace the 'original body', I will go to the Eastern Wilderness on your behalf to travel the 'Buddhist transmission to the East' route, perform the rituals of the Bodhi Pure Land, and bear the consequences.

"Your true self can escape unscathed, and even more so..." A meaningful smile appeared on Lü Chunyang's lips: "Although that bound avatar took the blame for you, it is not necessarily a dead end. If by chance you can seize the opportunity brought by the magnificent ritual in the Pure Land of Bodhi, you might even be able to share in a trace of the supreme benefits emanating from the projection of the 'Great Compassionate Light Lotus King Buddha' at the last moment."

To use someone else's immense power to achieve one's own goals can be a disaster, or it could be a tremendous blessing—a strategy akin to "removing the firewood from under the cauldron" or "substituting a plum for a peach."

Xu Yunfan immediately realized that Lü Chunyang's method was not just about avoiding disaster, but also about taking a piece of flesh from the mouth of the Pure Land of Bodhi.

The next second, Xu Yunfan instantly became excited.

If one's cultivation of the Xuan Du Eight Views Refining Heaven Creation Cloud Book is perfected and reaches the Perfect level in the attribute panel, one can naturally create another clone to carry it.

Moreover, the Xuandu Eight Scenes Refining Heaven Creation Cloud Manual is extremely profound, and even within the Yuanshi Sect, it can be considered a top-tier secret technique.

Although it was unknown which old man had released it, with the Pure Yang Patriarch by his side, no matter what the guy's purpose was, he could only suppress his thoughts.

It seems that Qingyuan Zhenjun never expected that the True Martial Subduing Demon Scripture, chosen by the Pure Land of Bodhi, would eventually be harvested by someone else.

He created a clone, completely binding the Buddhist karma to it, making the clone a "chess piece" of the Bodhi Pure Land to complete the plan.

His true self remains hidden behind the scenes, observing the unfolding events, and might even... reap the benefits!

After the initial shock, Xu Yunfan was overwhelmed with uncontrollable elation and excitement.

This is simply a stroke of genius.

However, in the next instant, a huge problem arose: how to create a clone that could fully bear such a huge Buddhist karmic connection?
It's easier said than done.

Such a transformation involving the cause and effect of the Great Dao cannot be achieved by ordinary clone techniques.

While the Cloud Book Incarnation Technique is profound, it seems to fall short when it comes to replacing cause and effect.

As if seeing through Xu Yunfan's doubts, Lü Chunyang immediately asked, "Why do you say you have a method of refining clones?"

Without hesitation, Xu Yunfan immediately replied respectfully, "Reporting to the Ancestor, what I cultivate is the Yuanshi Sect's 'Xuandu Eight Scenes Refining Heaven and Creating Cloud Book'."

"The Eight Views of Xuandu: The Cloud Book of Refining Heaven and Creating Creation"?

Upon hearing this, Lu Chunyang's usually calm and composed face finally revealed a very obvious expression of emotion for the first time.

"Ha!...So that's how it is! It really is it! Good! Good! Good!"

Lü Chunyang exclaimed "Good!" three times in succession. The surprise and amusement on his face eventually turned into heartfelt appreciation and admiration. "No wonder! No wonder you were able to conceal the secrets of heaven and deceive the initial calculations of the Lamp of Amitabha Buddha. You had no choice but to have Amitabha Buddha manifest in the world to forcefully enlighten you. The reappearance of this method in the world is truly the will of heaven. How wonderful! Heaven is helping you!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunfan's expression shifted slightly, and he bowed and cupped his hands, saying, "Please enlighten me, Ancestor."

He stared intently at Xu Yunfan: "This is the fundamental method of creation and body refinement, the very origin of the Daoist arts. The Eight Sceneries refer to the internal refinement of the Eight Scenery Divine Palaces and the external forging of the Mysterious Body."

If you can cultivate this "Cloud Book" to the point of refining the spirit and returning to emptiness, and achieving the great perfection of "unifying the eight scenes and returning to the original primordial state", you will possess the supreme mystery of creation, and an indestructible source of the Dao will naturally arise within your body.

Coupled with the immense willpower to sever worldly ties and cut off distractions...

Based on this, one can truly forge a 'True Body Dao Body' containing the imprint of your original Dao, almost identical to your true body, with limitless potential, rather than an ordinary clone.
