Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 618 So What If He's a True Monarch?

He instinctively opened his mouth to argue, but the words were swallowed back down.

The other party is a Golden Core True Monarch. The fact that he could appear here must be because he had slightly leaked his aura when he refined the Taiyin Immortal Gold Nature.

Or rather, ever since he left the Heavenly Realm, Qingyuan Zhenjun has been secretly monitoring everyone.

Beast!
They don't even trust the Foundation Establishment cultivators within their own sect, and use them to fish around.

Xu Yunfan let out a soft sigh.

Such a statement, which speaks for itself, is not mere speculation.

It must be some kind of irrefutable inference or mystical intuition.

More importantly, since True Lord Qingyuan was able to personally appear here and reveal this secret, his purpose is obvious.

Whether it's true or false, he must verify it personally, and the process of verification cannot be stopped by mere words.

If one fails to hand over the fruit of enlightenment, or refuses to hand it over after being discovered, the outcome will not change.

"Hand over that Taiyin Fruit,"

Qingyuan Zhenjun's voice remained calm, yet it carried an irresistible divine might, clearly piercing through the sky, each word striking Xu Yunfan's heart.

"I will not pursue your theft of the Dao Fruit. After all, this is a tradition of my Yuanshi Sect. You have a deep understanding of its essence. Rest assured, I will not treat you unfairly. Take it out and you will be richly rewarded."

Xu Yunfan's lips twitched very slightly, a forced smile.

Deep within his dantian, the three dormant golden sword intents belonging to the Pure Yang Ancestor Lü Chunyang were like a drawn bow, ready to be released at any moment.

This is why he didn't directly use the Soul Exchange Technique to replace his clone.

At the same time, he mobilized all his willpower and struggled to resist the immense pressure on his soul brought by the Golden Core stage, and slowly opened his mouth, his voice slightly hoarse.

"I wonder what kind of reward the True Lord has bestowed that is comparable to a Dao Fruit?"

This question, though seemingly a inquiry, is in fact a silent form of resistance.

Qingyuan Zhenjun was somewhat surprised; he couldn't understand why Xu Yunfan was still trying to delay.

What can one do when faced with a Golden Core True Monarch?

Want to procrastinate, and then gather the courage and strength to finally overturn the table?
"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Qingyuan Zhenjun revealed a smile on his face, as if he had already seen through Xu Yunfan's thoughts, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Sometimes, bombing a newbie village has this cat-and-mouse feel to it, wanting to see just how much the opponent will struggle under absolute power.

Those who attain the Dao Fruit, aside from the few Dao Lords who have already ascended to higher dimensions, are already at the top level of power in the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm.

Even among the many realms, it is at the top level.

"I possess an ancient, lost treasure of thunder, the World-Stabilizing Thunder Marrow."

He looked directly into Xu Yunfan's eyes, his words cold.

"This item is enough to attract the favor of the Divine Firmament Jade Pure Nine Heavens Profound Firmament Myriad Transformations Imperishable Dao Fruit, which has been dormant for a thousand years, to you ahead of time! It will save you from the arduous process of accumulating rituals for a hundred years to subdue the demons!"

This generous reward can be considered to be the key to Xu Yunfan's future attainment of the Golden Core stage.

Xu Yunfan's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. These Golden Core True Monarchs were indeed all quite wealthy, able to even produce something like this.

This item was described in the Divine Firmament Nine Heavens True Scripture. If one refines it, one can naturally become compatible with the Dao Fruit. One will not even need to rack one's brains to condense the extraordinary phenomena. As long as one condenses the Immortal Golden Nature and uses the World-Stabilizing Thunder Marrow as a guide, one will surely be able to trigger the appearance of this Supreme Dao Fruit, which ranks among the top ten of the 108 Dao Fruits of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends.

But is True Lord Qingyuan really that kind-hearted?
Xu Yunfan naturally didn't believe it.

After all, once you reach the Golden Core Realm, every step forward means you need to refine more Dao Fruits that are compatible with your own element.

Qingyuan Zhenjun cultivates the wondrous Dao of the Pure Qi of Heaven and Earth, and refines the Pure Qi of the Immortal Palace.

This Divine Firmament Jade Purity Dao Fruit would also greatly benefit him; perhaps he could even use it to advance to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, thus ensuring his immortality and longevity. However…

"if……"

Xu Yunfan pretended his throat was dry, and each word sounded as if it were made with the friction of rust, as if the choice was extremely difficult.

"...What if the disciple doesn't hand it in?"

"Don't pay?"

The smile on Qingyuan Zhenjun's lips widened instantly, as if he had heard something extremely ridiculous, but the depths of his eyes were as cold as a frozen pool, directly pronouncing the outcome.

"Then both body and soul will perish, and they will not even be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation."

"The pitiful immortal golden essence within you hasn't even solidified yet. With a single thought, I could erase you completely in a single glance."

Basically, one look from them and you're dead.

A Golden Core True Monarch can absolutely crush a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

While practicing martial arts, it's possible to fight against opponents of higher levels. But when it comes to cultivating immortality, each advancement in a minor realm is like a meteoric rise to the heavens.

Even Xu Yunfan, who is currently in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, could easily take on three opponents when he was in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

Xu Yunfan let out a deep breath.

His previously tense body relaxed a bit.

Looking at Qingyuan Zhenjun's somewhat indifferent face, his mind raced.

If the person standing before him were a True Lord of the Wancheng Sword Sect, perhaps, given the sect's righteous tradition and the prestige of the Pure Yang Ancestor, he might still have some room for negotiation, and he believed the other party might keep some of their promises.

But who are we facing right now?

He is the Golden Elixir True Lord of the Primordial Sect.

Known as the most ruthless schemer in the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm, he would stop at nothing to achieve his goals and was called the True Lord of the Yuan Demon Sect by the world.

To ensure no one knows about the murder and the killing, the choice is almost inevitable.

Otherwise, if word gets out that a dignified Golden Core True Monarch is coveting and robbing a Foundation Establishment disciple's opportunity, what will become of the Primordial Beginning Sect's reputation?

Furthermore, Qingyuan Zhenjun has essentially stolen the fruits of Pudu Zhenjun's labor. If I were to reveal even a little bit of it, it would naturally be bad for Qingyuan Zhenjun.

He has become an unstable factor.

Only complete death is the ideal state.

Moreover, lying was already a standard feature of Yuan Shizong.

The curve of Xu Yunfan's lips gradually became clearer, no longer a forced pretense, but instead carrying a strange hint of mockery.

He raised his head, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over the chaotic clouds in the eastern sea, stirred up by some high-level force. The causal energy there was extremely disordered, like countless threads that had been forcibly torn and knotted. Even a Golden Core True Monarch's discerning eye would find it difficult to discern the source in a short period of time.

Xu Yunfan suddenly laughed, the sound particularly jarring in the deathly still space, filled with a sense of eager anticipation.

"It seems that the True Lord came here alone, without the knowledge of the True Lord of Salvation."

Tsk tsk, taking advantage of their busyness in dividing up the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Fruit, the True Lord secretly stirred up the secrets of the East Sea. What a clever scheme!

This tangled web of cause and effect is so chaotic that even you, True Lord, cannot quickly unravel it; isn't this precisely your doing?

He directly pointed out the root cause of Qingyuan Zhenjun's secretive actions and the timing of his actions.

Qingyuan Zhenjun's eyes were deep and unreadable.
