Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 533 Cultivating Immortality is Not About Immediate Gain

Such as the Nine Heavens Thunder Magnetic Clouds at the edge of the Nine Heavens Gale Layer, which are perpetually baptized by heavenly thunder, or the Xuanbing Kui Thunder Crystals generated at the core of a magnetic storm deep in the polar regions.

The second is the Xuanqiong Pure Qi, which nourishes the cave space, making it high and clear, untouched by turbid dust.

This energy originates from the outer void, a place where the brilliance of stars gathers and condenses. It is the aura contained within the true essence of stars nurtured by certain extremely rare meteorite iron.

The evolution of the energy, which is a mixture of destruction and life, is precisely to ensure the potential of the cave, giving it the growth characteristics of both destruction and creation.

"The sect's public secret realms, 'Nine Thunder Pool' and 'Heavenly Wind Cliff,' naturally have Thunder Essence Stones and Mystic Sky Crystal Sand that can be collected, but those mass-produced items are only the lower-grade root energy used by ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators."

"To rely solely on this to condense the Divine Firmament Grotto-Heaven would be tantamount to destroying one's own potential..."

Xu Yunfan pondered this in his heart.

"If you want to gather Qi, you must go to more dangerous and remote areas to find a more suitable and stronger root Qi."

but……

Xu Yunfan thought for a moment. Now that he was lying low in the Yuanshi Sect, as long as he didn't go out unless necessary, why should he suffer like this? He only needed to gradually increase his proficiency and fully master each stage of the Shenxiao True Scripture to condense his own cave-heaven.

Of course, Xu Yunfan has not yet confirmed anything definitively; he still needs to test it out.

He is still young. The lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is three hundred years. After years of cultivation, including the years of seclusion, he is only in his eighties now.

Spending forty or fifty years to advance through the attribute panel is perfectly acceptable.

“I certainly don’t trust the ‘opportunity’ given by True Monarch Qingyuan. But the foundation for condensing the nascent form of the cave heaven is the basis of my own path of cultivation, and I cannot afford to be careless or complacent in the slightest.”

By focusing on cultivation and improving through the attribute panel, one can naturally condense the most perfect and flawless Dao foundation.

Xu Yunfan couldn't help but exhale. The atmosphere among the three sects was currently strange. The Pure Land of Bodhi Zen was about to perform the ritual of welcoming the Buddha to the throne in the Eastern Wilderness. The Primordial Sect and the Ten Thousand Chariots Sword Sect would never sit idly by.

If it succeeds, and the Pure Land of Bodhi and Zen establishes a Buddhist kingdom in the Eastern Wilderness, wouldn't it become the only dominant force in the future?
Who can bear this.

It's not like there's a master in the Pure Land of Bodhi and Chan.

Half a month later.

Deep within Shenxiao Peak lies a secluded and mysterious cave.

Xu Yunfan sat cross-legged on a futon in the center of the quiet room, his face calm and expressionless.

Since the day he said goodbye to Lu Chuan and made up his mind to lie low and cultivate in seclusion, he has hardly ever stepped out of his cave.

All affairs of Shenxiao Peak were handled by the attending Daoist boys, and all visitors were refused on the grounds that they were "in seclusion for cultivation and would not be disturbed."

That is truly no exaggeration.

If you want to increase your proficiency through training without taking risks, you naturally need to be fully focused.

His time is very tight.

Xu Yunfan did indeed devote all his energy to cultivation, with his core practice being the "Divine Firmament Nine Heavens Profound Sky Undying True Scripture".

However, the cultivation process was not as quick as he had imagined.

Although the attribute panel is mysterious, it clearly marks the progress of mastery of the Divine Firmament Scripture.

At first, Xu Yunfan was full of expectations. As long as he practiced the technique diligently, he could watch the progress bar steadily increase like a stream flowing into a river.

However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

As he himself observed, the proficiency level of the Divine Firmament Scripture on the panel increased terribly slowly, requiring ten to fifteen days of diligent practice to gain even a slight increase in proficiency.

Every day, following the essential principles of the true scriptures, he used the Thunder-Drawing Array to draw in the thunderous energy of the Nine Heavens to Shenxiao Peak, drawing in the wisps of free-floating thunder essence from the peak to circulate, refine, and settle within his meridians and dantian time and time again. Xu Yunfan could feel his magical power slowly becoming purer and his Dao foundation subtly being strengthened, but when all of this translated into the numbers jumping on the attribute panel, it was agonizingly slow.

On average, it takes about ten days to half a month, or even longer, for the number on the panel representing the proficiency of the Divine Firmament True Scripture to jump up by just one point.

He had precisely calculated that it would take 1,000 proficiency points to progress from minor to major mastery, and at this rate, he would need to reach the major mastery level required to condense the rudimentary form of a grotto-heaven.

If you were to practice for 10 days and become proficient, it would take 27 years.

If we assume a 1-point increase every 15 days, it would take 41 years.

In the worst-case scenario, it could be even slower.

From twenty-seven to forty years.

It seems that this is not unacceptable for a Foundation Establishment cultivator with a lifespan of three hundred years.

Xu Yunfan had also comforted himself in this way.

Patience is the cornerstone of longevity.

But having been used to rapid progress, his cultivation speed suddenly slowed down, which he naturally found very difficult to adjust to.

Most importantly, if you want to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage, you need 5,000 proficiency points to reach the perfect state of the Divine Firmament True Scripture.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yunfan couldn't help but feel a sense of endlessness in his heart, and had an urge to immediately leave the pass and go out to seize opportunities.

Even more critically, based on the consistent patterns of the attribute panel and his own cultivation experience, he clearly sensed that as the cultivation level improved, the barriers between each level would become increasingly solid, making further progress increasingly difficult.

It is very likely that after passing the initial stage of forming a cave heaven, the time required to accumulate further proficiency will increase exponentially or even several times.

This means that the remaining 5000 skill points could take several times longer.

The thought that it might take a hundred, or even one hundred and fifty or two hundred years, just to cultivate this "Divine Firmament Nine Heavens Profound Sky Undying True Scripture" to the 5000-point threshold of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection is terrifying.

Even with his unwavering resolve, Xu Yunfan couldn't help but feel a sense of the passage of time.

In the world of immortal cultivation, is it possible to break through to the next level only at the very end of one's lifespan?

Xu Yunfan was speechless.

However, he was no longer the naive young man who had just embarked on the path of immortality.

Chu Chengnan's experiences, his own predicament, and Qingyuan Zhenjun's schemes...

These things were like swords hanging over his head, constantly reminding him that impatience was a trap, and composure was the key.

If you rush ahead recklessly without regard for the consequences, you might get away with it for a short time, but if you don't have time to plan ahead, you'll likely be crushed when you try to make money.

Those Golden Core True Monarchs in the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm are truly despicable and shameless.

They especially like to dress up in full divine gear and block the entrance to the newbie village, preventing anyone from leaving.

Moreover, he had not yet fully grasped the situation within the Yuanshi Sect, and he knew nothing about the mysteries hidden in the "great opportunity" that Qingyuan Zhenjun spoke of.

The relatively enclosed environment of Shenxiao Peak is actually the safest training ground at this moment.

While secluded cultivation here may seem like a slow and arduous process, it actually carries the lowest risk and minimizes the chance of being drawn into unknown turmoil.

Moreover, the "Divine Firmament Nine Heavens Profound Sky Undying True Scripture" was not the only one he cultivated.

For him, the long period of time was not simply a waste, but a capital to be fully utilized.

The value of that attribute panel lies in the fact that it allows him to cultivate multiple skills and techniques simultaneously on the same timeline!
