Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 603 The True Lord of Universal Salvation
It seems that Senior Brother Lu understands that he needs time to digest and improve his strength.

He refocused his attention on the perfectly round crystal bead that contained the power of the Taiyin Xuanjian Dao Fruit, and his eyes sharpened.

With the secluded cultivation of weapons complete, stabilizing one's realm and refining one's immortal golden nature to achieve the perfect foundation-building stage is of utmost urgency.

However, the method of condensation still needs to be carefully considered.

Xu Yunfan pondered for a moment and decided to rest for another month or so before leaving seclusion to find Lu Chuan. The other party was a Grand Master who had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment and should be experienced.

While the attribute panel allows him to advance step by step without bottlenecks, he still needs to control some aspects himself.

The immortal golden nature condensed from the perfect foundation not only contains its own essence, energy, and spirit, but also carries its own will.

That is, imagery.

The Wancheng Sword Sect refers to it as Sword Intent.

The Pure Land of Bodhi and Zen awakens great vows.
-
At this very moment, far away, deep within the ruins of the celestial realm, which had long been shattered and whose very essence had been plundered.

A figure clad in a black robe, with an ancient and dignified face, shrouded in boundless celestial light and an aura of annihilation, sat cross-legged on a golden platform suspended in the turbulent void.

Its vast aura formed a powerful confrontation with the collapsing Heavenly Dao, and it was none other than the Golden Core True Monarch of the Primordial Sect.

Pudu Zhenjun.

At this moment, he formed hand seals, and the projection of his Dao realm covered a portion of the void, devouring the last spiritual energy and Dao essence of this world.

Everything was going smoothly. He had already obtained most of the essence of the Heavenly Emperor's Sun Dao Fruit, and the Nirvana Dao Fruit of the Western Buddha Tathagata had been secretly divided up by himself and the True Lord of the Ten Thousand Chariots Sword Sect. The Pure Land of Bodhi Zen arrived late and could only pick up some scraps, so he was naturally very depressed.

Seeing that the Pure Land of Bodhi Zen had suffered a setback, the True Lord of Universal Salvation was very pleased.

However, when his divine sense swept over the core origin of this broken world again, a trace of extremely difficult-to-detect surprise and doubt suddenly flashed across his deep eyes, which seemed to contain the waves of eternity.

"Ok?"

A low, soft exclamation, like muffled thunder, echoed among the ruins of the shattered Heavenly Palace.

"The Heavenly Emperor of this realm has attained the Sun Dao Fruit, which governs this world and shines for eternity. This is the principle of Yin and Yang's rotation. The Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Realm is complete. Even if it is shattered to this extent, there should still be a corresponding Taiyin Yin Fruit to maintain its original foundation and prevent it from collapsing completely so quickly..."

He has been lingering in this realm, waiting for the power of the Heavenly Dao to weaken and become unable to hide any longer, so that the hidden Dao Fruit can be revealed.

But now the entire Heavenly Realm is on the verge of destruction, and the Taiyin Fruit has yet to appear.

That's a bit strange.

His powerful divine sense, like an invisible giant net, once again penetrated every corner of the celestial realm, repeatedly scanning and deducing cause and effect.

However, the core of the Taiyin Dao, which should have been clearly present, along with the corresponding Dao Fruit manifestation treasure, seemed to have completely evaporated, leaving only a few extremely faint, yet disturbed traces.

The more one deduces, the more it seems to fall into a fog, the secrets of heaven are unclear, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Although there were clues, they seemed to be carefully pieced together, only to be covered by another layer of similar fluctuations, creating numerous distractions.

After all, the Heavenly Dao of this realm would not allow a demon from another region to deduce the secrets of this realm.

This is the last shred of the Heavenly Dao's power; even in death, it will not be allowed to be completely stripped bare.

Pudu Zhenjun frowned slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

"The Heavenly Dao of this realm is on the verge of death, yet it still desperately tries to hide this Dao Fruit, or rather..."

His gaze suddenly sharpened, piercing through endless space and time, fixed on the remnants of the Heavenly Dao's will that had been plundered. A cold, mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips. "Hmph, a mere trick. Did you think that such concealment would prevent me from finding you?"

He had already made up his mind about 80-90%.

The Dao Fruit of the Heavenly Realm was not allowed to disappear or be annihilated by the Heavenly Dao itself. Although the birth of a Dao Fruit follows the principles of Heaven and Earth and is derived from the Heavenly Dao, it also has a certain degree of independence.

It cannot be easily destroyed.

It must have been taken away by someone who took advantage of the situation and taken it out of this world.

To be able to do something like this, to deceive everyone, to succeed at the critical moment when the Heavenly Realm collapsed and the True Monarch Dao Realm was shrouded, and then to use the natural fluctuations of the collapsing Heavenly Realm to cover up the traces.

There must be the full cooperation of the will of the Heavenly Realm itself.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible with just a Foundation Establishment cultivator who has not yet been found.

Pudu Zhenjun guessed that there were still remnants in this Heavenly Realm, who had escaped through some spatial rift to the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm, or into the body of some audacious and lucky Foundation Establishment cultivator.

As for Xu Yunfan, who was suspected to be on the edge of the battlefield at the time, with the secret technique of cause and effect and the Star Spirit Banner for cover, but whose cultivation was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Pudu Zhenjun's mind naturally swept over all the Foundation Establishment auras on the battlefield at that time, including those of the Yuanshi Sect.

Xu Yunfan's display was merely the fluctuation of magical power in the mid-to-late stage of Foundation Establishment. What means could he possibly have to take a Dao Fruit right under the noses of three True Monarchs?

This is completely illogical and highly unlikely.

More likely, it's a backup plan from some remaining celestial realm, a hidden master, or perhaps the final struggle and concealment of the dying celestial path of this realm.

Although I was determined, there were still some things that needed to be done.

"Once this matter is settled, we will thoroughly investigate all Foundation Establishment cultivators who have entered and left this realm."

Having calculated that the Yin Fruit of Taiyin was no longer in this realm, the True Lord of Universal Salvation withdrew his gaze, his eyes indifferent, as if he had seen through all illusions.

In his eyes, the so-called Foundation Establishment stage was nothing more than being slightly more resilient than a Qi Refining talent.

It would be a piece of cake to find them and strip them of their Dao Fruit.

With a slight twitch of his fingers, an invisible Buddhist seal quietly disappeared into the void, like setting up a silent trap.
-
After Xu Yunfan emerged from seclusion, he dealt briefly with matters at Shenxiao Peak, had a small gathering with Bi Yuan and a few others, and then went to find Lu Chuan without stopping. He arrived at Zichen Peak, where Lu Chuan was, and met him in a quiet room at the summit.

"Senior Brother Lu, you've been waiting for a long time."

Xu Yunfan bowed respectfully to the blue-robed Taoist priest who was sipping tea at the table.

"Junior brother previously went into seclusion to consolidate the opportunities he gained in the Heavenly Realm. Unexpectedly, he spent three years in seclusion and was unable to come to pay his respects to senior brother and listen to his teachings. This is truly impolite. Please forgive me, senior brother."

Lu Chuan put down his teacup, a gentle and approachable smile appearing on his face. He waved his hand, his voice steady.

"Junior Brother Xu, you flatter me. In the path of cultivation, it is common to go into seclusion to comprehend the truth."

You have made a great contribution to the celestial realm, and the opportunities you have gained are extraordinary. You should take time to digest and consolidate them, and building a solid foundation is the right way.

The True Lord's decree also instructed you to come find me after your cultivation is complete. There's no question of asking for forgiveness for waiting too long. Your ability to remain in seclusion for three years demonstrates your steadfast Daoist heart and your emphasis on building a strong foundation. Your senior brother has no reason to be gratified.”

He paused slightly, his dignified and righteous smile unchanged, but a slight glint flashed in his eyes, and his tone, though still calm, carried a greater weight.
"Moreover, the True Lord has already made this clear. He is pleased that you have this opportunity and are taking the time to digest it. Your timing is perfect."
