Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 501 Enlightenment
Upon closer inspection, one can naturally sense the changes within Han Shi's body.

A simple and unadorned sword embryo, yet imbued with a terrifying and tearing aura, has been fully formed in the core of his dantian, presenting a flawless and magnificent state, ready to unleash its power.

Every wisp of sword energy contained the most orthodox and most powerful sword essence of the Wancheng Sword Sect.

His progress was so rapid, his foundation so solid, and his sword intent so pure that it far exceeded common sense.

"hiss……"

Xu Yunfan's consciousness sensed Han Shi's condition and couldn't help but gasp, a huge sense of surprise welling up in his heart.

The Myriad Chariots Sword Technique is profound and extensive. Although it does not involve the Golden Core stage and is only a Foundation Establishment sword technique, it was still left behind by the Dao Lord and is extremely difficult to cultivate.

Even the core disciples of the Wancheng Sword Sect need to spend a long time honing their foundation and comprehending the sword intent.

Han Shi's clone... has improved far too fast!

"This speed... is too exaggerated?! It's like a physique born for the sword... wait!"

The thought had just formed in Xu Yunfan's mind when he suddenly stopped, realizing, "Wait! He's my clone! His talent... isn't it my talent?!"

Yup!

Xu Yunfan slapped his thigh.

The avatars created by the Cloud Book Avatar Technique are reflections and extensions of the user's own original essence in terms of their constitution, comprehension, and potential.

Han Shi's exceptional talent in swordsmanship means that Xu Yunfan also possesses terrifying potential in swordsmanship that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

"Tsk..."

Xu Yunfan couldn't help but mutter something under his breath, a knowing look on his face.

"That's alright then. So... I'm this good at kendo too?"

I always thought I was just average, relying solely on stat allocation and grinding. I never imagined that my true potential was hidden in this clone reflection.

It seems I still have a lot of potential to be explored, and I am not the average person that Master Chunyang described.

No longer paying attention to the progress of his clone Han Shi, which even he himself envied, Xu Yunfan returned his consciousness to himself and devoted all his attention to the most fundamental thing at present: cultivating the "Divine Firmament Nine Heavens Profound Sky Undying True Scripture".

Previously, the Pure Yang Patriarch praised this scripture highly, although he bluntly pointed out that Xu Yunfan's aptitude was even worse than that of the Divine Firmament Nine Heavens True Lord who had fallen at his hands.

Xu Yunfan does not deny this.

In the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm, those who can become Golden Core True Monarchs are all exceptionally talented individuals.

There are indeed those who achieve great things later in life, but this is often due to a latent constitution that allows them to flourish in the later stages.

What concerned Xu Yunfan the most was the final comment from the Pure Yang Patriarch.

"Don't underestimate this true scripture. It has a connection with the Dao Master of the Primordial Sect back then... Although this fruit position is incomparably powerful... To rebuild this fruit, we need to use the true scripture as a boat and rebuild the ritual step by step in the mortal world... We also need to use our own Dao to connect with the Nine Heavens of the Divine Firmament... The hardships involved are even greater than moving mountains and filling seas!"

These words went through Xu Yunfan's mind.

It has a connection with the founder of the Yuanshi Sect, and it's possible that the creator of this true scripture was the founder of the Yuanshi Sect.

If so, then given the Daoist Master's lofty vision, this true scripture can definitely be considered one of the top fundamental cultivation methods of the Primordial Sect.

Back then, when Shenxiao Jiuchen Zhenjun was killed by Chunyang Patriarch with three swords, this true scripture fell into his hands.

If it weren't for Xu Yunfan's appearance, this true scripture would probably have remained hidden forever.

Xu Yunfan pondered.

"Master Chunyang was renowned for his swordsmanship during the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. His insight was incredibly sharp. If he could say such a thing, then this 'Divine Firmament Nine Heavens Profound Sky Undying True Scripture' must possess earth-shattering power! It is by no means inferior to any top-tier swordsman's path."

But then again.

The difficulties mentioned by the Pure Yang Patriarch were negligible to him, who could constantly optimize and modify his cultivation path by adding attribute points to his attribute panel. As long as he could get to the basics, everything would be fine. Xu Yunfan cleared his mind of distractions and began to carefully study the "Divine Firmament Nine Heavens Profound Sky Imperishable True Scripture".

After a long while, he opened his eyes, rubbed his temples, and frowned slightly.

Is my aptitude and comprehension really that poor?

I do not believe!
"Pro."

The single word of truth flowed from between his lips like a icy spring from the heavens, and Xu Yunfan's aura suddenly condensed.

The turbulent thoughts, like snowflakes splashed on boiling water, instantly freeze and melt away.

All emotions have faded from his eyes, leaving only a clarity as clear as ancient ice.

He had entered the state of supreme detachment, and at this moment his soul was like a celestial compass in motion, deducing that all things follow the Dao, and his thoughts were like cold flames scorching the sky, penetrating the true meaning without being tainted by dust.

In this state of mind, comprehending the true scriptures is twice as effective with half the effort.

In an instant, the profound meaning of the scriptures surged into my consciousness like a vast galaxy.

"Above, it corresponds to the highest heavenly palace of the nine heavens of the Divine Firmament; below, it refines the indestructible fighting golden body of the Mysterious Vault... It draws upon the thunder and fire of the nine heavens to cleanse and refine the five internal organs and six bowels."

It draws upon the killing energy of the Geng metal in the heavens, forging bones, forging veins, and refining marrow, making the physical body clear and spotless, like divine iron formed by nature.

Refining skin to the point of gold and crystal, forging bones to the point of divine jade, transforming internal organs into a thunder pool, and imbuing blood with stellar flames... Raising a palm, one shatters the divine thunder of the heavens; a divine eye between the brows cleaves through a thousand mountains and ten thousand peaks...

Its physical strength rivals that of an innate spiritual treasure, making it impervious to all magic and resistant to water and fire!

Upon careful contemplation, the magnificent and profound meaning flowed continuously through his mind, yet it failed to shake Xu Yunfan's emotions in the slightest.

Under the shroud of the Supreme Realm of Forgetfulness, his eyes were like a frozen pool that had been frozen for ten thousand years, and all his thoughts condensed into ice crystals and sank.

His divine senses moved like precise star orbits, dissecting and deducing the true essence of the "Divine Firmament Nine Heavens Profound Sky Immortal True Scripture." The process of tempering flesh and bones with Geng metal thunder and fire was transformed into a cold data stream, which was clearly displayed on his spiritual platform.

This is the manifestation of the "Lin" technique, a secret transmission of the Wancheng Sword Sect, which discards the seven emotions and preserves only the Dao consciousness.

A divine sword without a sheath will be wounded by its own sharpness; a heart devoid of desire will ultimately turn into a stubborn stone and perish in the heavens.

This state of severing all emotions and desires is truly a double-edged sword!
Xu Yunfan coldly introspected himself.

Each time the "Lin" technique is maintained, the human warmth deep within the flesh and blood fades a little, requiring a lot of time to recuperate, strengthen the body, and gradually progress in regenerating the seven emotions and six desires through the body and spirit.

Even in the state of "approaching," Xu Yunfan remained devoid of joy or sorrow, completely unconcerned about the humanity that had been rapidly extinguished and faded within him, focusing solely on carefully studying the true scripture.

The Linzi Technique is the supreme secret method of the Wancheng Sword Sect, but it has a major flaw.

If one maintains the "Lin" state for too long, one's human desires will be completely eliminated, and one's divine nature will naturally arise. At that time, perhaps only a stubborn rock will remain, with no emotional fluctuations whatsoever.

If one has transcended worldly desires, what is the point of pursuing immortality and carefree existence?

As time goes by, the final outcome is death and the soul returning to heaven and earth.

After a long while, Xu Yunfan quickly withdrew from the "Lin" state and calmed down for half a day. After feeling the emotions return to his heart, he finally let out a long breath.

The state of "Lin" was maintained for a rather long time; it took three full days to comprehend this true scripture.

But it was worth it.

Xu Yunfan glanced at the prompts on the attribute panel.

'You have successfully comprehended the Divine Firmament Nine Heavens Profound Vault Imperishable True Scripture'

The enlightenment has been achieved; all that remains is to begin the practice.

However, he did not immediately unleash the thunder. Instead, he first mentally rehearsed the method of circulating the true scripture several times, ensuring that every detail was clear and accurate with the help of the panel.
