Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 584 Dao Fruit Acquired
Zhang Ziyang chuckled: "After all, I've been the sect leader for hundreds of years. Make a decision as soon as possible. If you have any reservations, just abandon it."

Xu Yunfan's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he instantly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

Do it or not?
If one follows the proper steps, there will be no obstacles in cultivating to the peak of Foundation Establishment, and even attaining the Dao fruit position will be no difficulty.

The difficulty lies in the fact that when one attains enlightenment, the attribute panel can indeed allow one to advance unimpeded.

But whether the true rulers of the world are willing is another matter entirely.

Time is life, and every moment may bring the insight of the True Lord.

Sending the diva to retrieve it, though risky, is the only viable option at the moment.

His own causal secrets were also frantically deducing, confirming that this action was the only chance to escape annihilation in the current chaotic heavenly order.

It's done!

If I don't take it, even if I attain enlightenment in the future, I might not be able to protect my position as a Golden Core True Monarch!

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Yunfan's gaze, sharp as lightning, instantly locked onto the trembling Heavenly Empress Star Soul within the Star Banner.

With a flick of the Star Spirit Banner, Xu Yunfan's divine sense surged.

"And send the Heavenly Empress Star Lord to heed my decree!"

Use all the power within your remaining divine soul that is of the same origin as the Dao Fruit of this world, and under the protection of the Star Banner's spiritual power, use it to collect the Taiyin Profound Mirror Dao Fruit from the core of the Suspended Mirror for me.

If you hesitate or act rashly even slightly, you will be instantly annihilated, body and soul, never to be reincarnated.

"As Your Majesty commands!"

The diva trembled violently under the terrifying pressure imprinted on her soul's origin, enough to crush her instantly. The last bit of resentment in her eyes completely transformed into utter fear and submission.

She dared not even consider the slightest possibility that Zhang Ziyang's words might contain; Xu Yunfan's absolute control over her true spirit's life and death was an overwhelming instinct.

No one wants to die, especially cultivators who seek immortality.

Moreover, the spirits captured within the Star Spirit Banner have no say in their own lives. Even if they possess their own consciousness, it's merely to enhance their agility.

If anything happens, the Star Banner will shake, and you will be made a puppet.

As she poured her vast magical power into the Star Spirit Banner, the banner trembled. With the blessing of the Star Spirit Banner, she immediately mobilized the residual energy from the Taiyin Origin of the Heavenly Realm deep within her soul, transforming her soul into a peculiar spiritual guide.

Xu Yunfan manipulated the Star Spirit Banner with his mind, and the dark banner surface silently unfolded.

A stellar power, condensed to its extreme, carrying the faint yet perfectly compatible aura of the Heavenly Empress's Dao Fruit, transformed into an invisible, transparent arm, gently and swiftly reaching towards the Moon Wheel Mirror that floated at the core of the inverted mirror.

At that moment, even the surging, collapsing Milky Way seemed to freeze for a second.

The invisible arm, a mixture of the banner's power and the spirit of the Heavenly Queen Star, passed through the naturally flowing Taiyin Law barrier surrounding the Taiyin Mysterious Mirror with exceptional ease.

This was originally the last gap left by the Heavenly Dao for the vessel it favored. Now that the Empress has come to take it, and the Heavenly Realm has suffered a great calamity, the Heavenly Dao will naturally not refuse to give it to her.

The mirror's surface rippled gently, as if sensing that familiar yet unfamiliar primordial aura. It hesitated slightly, seemingly captivated by the pure attributes of the Heavenly Empress's soul, and further concealed by the Star Spirit Banner's powerful disguise. It did not trigger any of the anticipated violent energy backlash, nor did it provoke a counterattack from the will of Heaven.

Just as the three True Lords were displaying their divine might and were busy dividing up the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Fruit and the remnants of the Western Buddha's head, the Moon Wheel Treasure Mirror, which carried the core of the Taiyin Law of this world and was the last manifestation of the Taiyin Profound Mirror Dao Fruit, was silently wrapped by that invisible arm and instantly pulled into the deep surface of the Star Spirit Banner, like a drop of water falling into the sea.

It worked!
Xu Yunfan's heart nearly leaped out of his chest; an overwhelming surge of joy instantly overwhelmed him.

A genuine fruit of the Dao!
If it were released, countless Foundation Establishment cultivators would go crazy for it, and even Golden Core True Monarchs would not hesitate to take it away.

However, he dared not show it on his face, and the warning signs in his heart were raised to the extreme.

Receive!
Xu Yunfan's divine sense was as fast as lightning. He instantly summoned back the Zhou Tian Xing Ling Banner, which rolled into a dim, gray stream of light and disappeared into his sleeve.

Throughout the process, he activated the three concealment techniques around him to their fullest extent, and also used three layers of array techniques nested together, perfectly blending his figure into the chaotic energy flow and war aftershocks of the shattered Heavenly Court.

Without the slightest lingering attachment, nor even to examine the newly acquired treasures within the banner or the Empress's complex and intricate state.

Xu Yunfan's figure moved like a ghost, using the chaotic energy turbulence generated by the surging and disordered water vapor of the Milky Way and the bursting of spatial fragments to conceal himself. He fled frantically along the way he came at an unprecedented speed, almost like burning his life essence.

fast!
Hurry up!
Xu Yunfan's dantian surged with magical power, transforming him into a bolt of lightning that vanished in an instant.

He dared not follow any conspicuous paths, nor even venture into treasured areas like the Alchemy Hall, such as the treasury of elixirs and the scripture tower, which were key areas of contention between the disciples of the Wancheng Sword Sect and the Yuanshi Sect.

On his way here, he witnessed several collisions of Foundation Establishment fluctuations.

With his subtle perception of the spatial energy and the powerful physique honed by the Divine Firmament Nine Heavens Profound Sky Immortal True Scripture, he gained a keen sensitivity to changes in the physical environment.

He transformed into a wisp of nothingness that blended seamlessly into the folds of space, brushing against the shadows of the ruined palace, burrowing into the cracks created by the collapsing earth, and even brushing past the edges of several perilous spatial turbulences, all in order to choose the most inconspicuous escape route with the least energy disturbance.

I don't know how much time has passed, but I feel that I have completely moved away from the core area of ​​the Heavenly Court ruins, and even broken out of the vast area that was once covered by the Heavenly Emperor's power barrier.

What lay before them was no longer the luxurious, shattered celestial palace and the swirling malevolent energy, but a relatively desolate, broken realm. Mountains had collapsed, rivers had ceased flowing, and in the sky, besides the destructive gales, there was also the relatively gentle and pure root energy emanating from the origin of the realm.

This is it!
Without pausing, Xu Yunfan immediately found a canyon fissure torn open by the aftershocks of the battle deep in the earth and plunged into the lava cave at its bottom.

He rapidly formed hand seals, setting up several simple yet highly effective illusion arrays that concealed his presence and distorted his vision, completely hiding himself from view.

Only then did his violent heartbeat begin to calm down.

But this is not enough.

He forced himself to calm down and immediately closed his eyes to concentrate.

He sank his mind into his sea of ​​consciousness and began to use the most mentally taxing but necessary secret technique of cause and effect deduction.

In an instant, the invisible threads of cause and effect around him were untangled by his divine sense, tracing back to the past and deducing his connection to the Taiyin Xuanjian Dao Fruit incident.

Every possible leak of energy, every strand of past karmic connection from this world that might have been entangled with the Heavenly Empress, was repeatedly examined. If there were any uncertainties, they were all eroded and severed through the Cavernous Erosion Heavenly Talisman. A long time later...
