Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 563 News from the Celestial Realm
Master Tianyan paused slightly, glanced at Lu Chuan, and seeing that he had no reaction, continued, his tone softening.

"However... Blood River, also known as the Blood Demon, has become a demon. When his lifespan was about to end, he was entangled in the five turbidities and his six senses were clouded. He actually broke into Shenxiao Peak in broad daylight and tried to slaughter his fellow disciples by activating his Dao Foundation. He has already cut himself off from the sect and acted as a traitor."

His violent acts are plain for all to see.

Your killing of him has rid the sect of a scourge and averted a great calamity. This is a meritorious act!

After the initial assessment, the turning point arrives.

That's just empty talk.

Although Xu Yunfan broke the taboo, the Blood Demon deserved to die even more; killing him was more of a merit than a fault.

This ruling, made on behalf of the sect leader, may still sound official, but it has cleared Xu Yunfan of the biggest charge of "harming fellow disciples."

Of course, the constraints imposed by the forces represented by Lu Chuan are indispensable in this process.

Xu Yunfan naturally understood that this matter was not over and could not be easily resolved. Just then, he heard Master Tianyan change his tone.

"However, merits and demerits can offset each other."

Master Tianyan's gaze once again sharply locked onto Xu Yunfan, a smile appearing on his face.

"Xuehe bore a heavy responsibility for the sect, which he had not yet fulfilled. Now that he is dead, the primary responsibility for this unfinished matter naturally falls on your shoulders, and you must take on this responsibility."

Xu Yunfan's expression remained unchanged, but his mind raced. He glanced at Lu Chuan, who remained silent. Xu Yunfan understood; it seemed that there had been an exchange between the two parties, and Lu Chuan had given him a label.

He cautiously asked, "May I ask, Master, what important task do you undertake?"

"Under the jurisdiction of the Yuanshi Sect, a newly ascended and still solidified boundary sky was discovered, which the locals called the Heavenly Realm."

True Man Tianyan slowly explained, "This realm has been nurtured for a long time, and there are clear traces of Dao fruition. It is a realm with great potential."

Tao Fruit!

Xu Yunfan's pupils contracted slightly.

Having experienced the events of the Divine Martial Realm, he naturally understood the weight of the words "Dao Fruit."

That is the condensation of the laws of heaven and earth, the foundation for becoming a true lord.

Given the size of the Yuanshi Sect, it was natural for them to covet the Dao Fruits that the other party was cultivating.

These high-ranking Golden Core True Monarchs would naturally not let this opportunity pass.

Absorbing the fruits of other realms into one's own grotto-heaven naturally brings great benefits.

Xu Yunfan immediately asked, "Since a Dao Fruit is being nurtured, the Heavenly Dao will of this world must be flourishing, and there may already be a Golden Core True Monarch who has achieved enlightenment here protecting it?"

True Immortal Tianyan revealed a calm expression: "Whether there are True Monarchs within this realm is still unknown. Even if there are, a newly born True Monarch in a mere small realm is like a firefly compared to the bright moon before the True Monarchs of this sect."

You need not worry about such matters; the sect's true masters will handle them."

Lu Chuan then spoke, his voice steady.

“Junior Brother Xu, although this journey is a responsibility, it may also be a great opportunity. This Heavenly Realm has just opened, the energy of heaven and earth is pervasive, and the rules are beginning to emerge.”

If you can lead the first disciples to establish a sufficiently powerful Dharma domain stronghold in this realm, and even assist the sect's True Lord in guiding the root energy of this place and anchoring it into the main realm of Taihua Spirit Ruins.

Not only will your sect reward you, but the Heavenly Dao of the Taihua Spiritual Ruins Realm will also reward you. The immense merit you gain from Heaven and Earth will pave the way for your future path to the Golden Core.

Golden elixir!
Xu Yunfan naturally understood.

The pursuit of gold and the attainment of enlightenment is extremely risky, and a great battle is bound to occur in the place where the fruit of enlightenment is conceived.

But the returns are also extremely attractive.

The merit that Lu Chuan spoke of is the purest gift from Heaven, more precious than any rare and precious material. It can directly enhance one's foundation in the Dao, one's fortune, and even one's innate qualities and comprehension.

If one accumulates enough merit and benefits this world, one might be directly supported by the Heavenly Emperor to become the chosen one of destiny for this realm.

It's truly a life where you can pick up money wherever you go, find a hidden cave after falling off a cliff, and even discover spiritual essence in a meal.

Moreover, since Senior Brother Lu Chuan personally pointed it out, this was practically the expectation and investment that True Monarch Qingyuan's lineage had for him on this trip. He instantly understood the meaning behind Lu Chuan's previous silence and clearly sensed the balance that True Man Tianyan was maintaining under the pressure from both factions.

"Disciple understands!"

Xu Yunfan had made up his mind and no longer hesitated. He said decisively, "This is a great responsibility entrusted to me by the sect. I dare not refuse. I will do my best to clear away obstacles and help my Yuanshi Sect take over the Heavenly Realm!"

Seeing his quick agreement, both Master Tianyan and Lu Chuan had a hint of approval in their eyes.

Look how beautifully these words are spoken! What a pleasant way to say it! Clearing obstacles for the Yuanshizong!

That's truly a great kindness.

If you are hesitant and make excuses, it will naturally make people feel uncomfortable.

Xu Yunfan is an example.

Knowing when to back down.

Regardless of Xu Yunfan's inner thoughts, setting an example is loyalty.

Sages judge by actions, not by intentions.

Master Tianyan nodded and said, "Good! As the sect leader, I should uphold justice."

Since you have taken on this important task, according to sect custom, as the first general to ascend, you shall be responsible for all the opportunities and fortunes obtained within the Heavenly Realm, excluding the items that the sect's True Lord has specifically pointed out to be wary of, such as the nascent form of the Dao Fruit itself, including all other rare treasures, spiritual minerals, and even fragments of the world's origin that you have intercepted...

"If you have the ability to obtain it, it is all yours; neither I nor the sect will take a single penny."

These words are tantamount to giving Xu Yunfan a license to plunder with virtually no limits.

The first to break through the boundaries reap the rewards—this has always been the greatest incentive that the Yuanshi Sect has given to pioneers.

Xu Yunfan was secretly delighted.

Logically speaking, with a True Lord intervening, invading other realms is already a great guarantee, so what is there to be afraid of?

This compensation is too generous.

He was more than willing!
loyalty!

However, Master Lu Chuan slowly added at this moment: "However, Junior Brother Xu, there is one more thing you must remember. This Celestial Realm was not discovered by our sect alone."

According to reliable sources, the Wancheng Sword Sect has also noticed the fluctuations in this realm from those sword fanatics.

At that time, there may be clashes between the two True Monarch levels, but the real battlefield will be between you Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The counterattack from the Celestial Realm itself is secondary; the most formidable opponents on this journey are likely the ruthless and eccentric Foundation Establishment sword cultivators of the Myriad Chariots Sword Sect. Their swords are not to be trifled with.

Wancheng Sword Sect

Xu Yunfan felt a chill run down his spine. To be called extreme in personality by a True Person of the Demonic Sect was truly enough.

Aside from dealing with the Pure Yang Ancestor, the Wancheng Sword Sect has never actually encountered each other face-to-face. This time, we'll have to see how things go.

The image of his clone Han Shi bowing to his sect flashed through his mind in an instant.

Now, as Han Shi, he's thriving in that role.

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother Lu Chuan. I understand."

Xu Yunfan's expression was solemn, and he replied in a deep voice, "We will certainly handle this carefully!"

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and gave his final instructions, his tone filled with genuine concern.

"Remember, life is of utmost importance. If things don't go well, the environment inside the realm is too dangerous, or you encounter an insurmountable enemy, prioritize survival and be prepared to retreat through the passage at any time."

There's no need to dwell on temporary gains or losses, much less risk your life. As long as we're alive, we'll rise again! The true sage is standing behind us.
