Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 716 Han Shi's Awakening

"As expected, there are still flaws..."

Xu Yunfan focused intently on recording the various problems with the newly refined Xuanjian, and for a moment he was a little overwhelmed.

The art of weapon crafting is inherently complex, requiring the verification and understanding of heaven and earth before applying it to the crafting process. Many interlocking array patterns on magical artifacts need to be tested one by one to ensure stability and to unleash ten or even a hundred times the power of a single element.

Inside the passage to the Underworld, just as the cracks were about to spread to the core and Han Shi's physical body was nearing its limit, Xu Yunfan made his move again.

The divine power of Shenxiao was poured in from afar, and the purple-gold thunderous energy reappeared, forcibly pulling Han Shi back from the brink of collapse once again.

Han Shi fell to the ground, looking even more disheveled than before, with several cuts on his body from the turbulent currents in the passageway.

He stared blankly at the fragments of the ancient mirror in his hand, now shattered again and only the frame remained. He couldn't even muster an angry expression. He just stared at it, his eyes lowered, without uttering a word.

However, Xu Yunfan could clearly sense the growing anger simmering within Han Shi.

The clone Han Shi was formed from his accumulated negative emotions, and the same is true for Wukong.

However, because Wukong was influenced by the Pure Land of Bodhi and had studied the scriptures for many years, he was converted by the Bodhisattva, and his demonic nature was greatly reduced. Otherwise, he should have been even more ferocious than Han Shi.

Xu Yunfan naturally ignored Han Shi, methodically collecting fragments and continuing his analysis and deduction, then making improvements accordingly.

Failure data is equally valuable.

Time slipped away in a cycle of repeated failures.

Although he has the attribute panel to assist him and is proficient in crafting, developing and innovating a new magic weapon still requires careful testing.

Even so, Xu Yunfan's attribute panel showed that his speed was already like a rocket compared to other master weapon refiners.

In the following period, Xu Yunfan used up the spiritual materials of heaven and earth to continuously refine new Reversal of Fate Mirrors, and then gave them to Han Shi to enter the Netherworld.

Upon entering for the third time, cracks appeared at the junction of the mirror frame's reincarnation stone patterns. The new mirror held on until it collapsed at a deeper point than the previous point of collapse. Xu Yunfan recalled Han Shi's sword body before it was deeply eroded by the death energy.

On the fourth entry, the energy coupling problem of the Mirror Back Northern Darkness Crystal was greatly improved, but the mirror surface scale pattern's effectiveness in resisting a special soul-corroding yin wind dropped sharply, and it almost instantly collapsed. Han Shi's soul was severely injured, and Xu Yunfan barely managed to protect the core and pull him back with the power of the Star Spirit Banner. He recuperated for a whole month.

The fifth time, the sixth time...

Han Shi was completely numb.

He was like a walking corpse, completely unable to resist, only constantly accumulating his murderous sword intent, hoping to one day kill Xu Yunfan with a single sword strike.

When Xu Yunfan handed him the sixth improved version of the Destiny Reversal Mirror, he didn't even make any extra movements. He simply took it mechanically, then turned around and walked towards the Gate of the Underworld.

His eyes lost all their light.

Whether the Mirror of Rebellion shatters or survives, whether he lives or dies, seems to be irrelevant to him.

He is merely a tool that executes instructions once they are given to him.

Xu Yunfan didn't care. This Han Shi was very cunning. He seemed numb on the surface, but his anger never stopped.

His divine sense locked onto Han Shi through the attribute panel.

This time, his eyes shone with an unprecedented solemnity and anticipation.

Every previous failure is a stepping stone to success.
The data on the board regarding the cycle of life and death and the reversal of yin and yang has accumulated to a thick stack, and the cultivation level has also quietly increased considerably in this contact with the limits of the Great Dao Laws.

The sixth time entering the underworld passage.

The rage remained, but the chill was even greater.

Han Shi numbly poured in his magic power.

The new version of the Reversal of Fate Mirror hummed, and the runes on the back of the mirror lit up one after another. The seven Northern Darkness Crystals emitted a stable and harmonious reversal power.

The mirrored dragon scales were no longer simply glowing; they seemed to come alive. With each delicate opening and closing of the scales, they subtly guided and dispersed the turbulent spatial currents that surged forth. That illusion, simulating the return of true spirits to the void, achieved an astonishing degree of harmony with the surrounding violent fluctuations of the laws of the underworld, almost merging into one.

No cracks appeared.

The barrier is as solid as a rock.

The raging torrents and bone-corroding death energy crashed against the barrier like waves crashing against rocks; though fierce, they could not shake its foundation.

Han Shi felt an unprecedented sense of calm, as the terrifying pressure from the outside world was perfectly isolated and dissolved by that seemingly thin light screen.

For the first time, a flicker of surprise appeared in his numb eyes. He subconsciously looked down at the dark, ancient mirror in his hand.

It is radiating a gentle yet resilient brilliance, faithfully fulfilling its duty.

Inside the Divine Firmament Palace, Xu Yunfan stared intently at the constantly updating data prompts on the attribute panel in his field of vision.

The data flow on the properties panel was smoother than ever before.

'Structural integrity of the Reversal of Fate Mirror: 99.9%'

'Simulation law fluctuation fit: 99.5%'

'...'

Successful.

Xu Yunfan's usually calm and composed state of mind was now rippling with clear joy, like the surface of a lake tossed with a pebble.

Through Han Shi's perspective, he saw that Han Shi, located in the Netherworld passage, steadily penetrated the last and most dangerous core turbulent layer, and the marker point landed steadily in the blood-red area representing the Netherworld.

"The cycle of life and death, the reversal of yin and yang, this technique is indeed infinitely mysterious!"

Xu Yunfan silently recited in his mind, and the progress bar for his comprehension of Yin and Yang and the Dao of Life and Death on the attribute panel in his vision clearly jumped forward a little, and his Dao cultivation value also slightly increased again.

All things in heaven and earth cannot thrive in isolation; neither can exist in isolation.

This is not only the success of a magical artifact, but also a refinement of the understanding of the laws of the Great Dao.

His eyes sparkled with joy, and he felt even more eager to learn from the white-haired True Lord who was well-versed in this art.

If you have the chance, you should definitely have Han Shi and that white-haired True Lord exchange blows more often.

That cycle of birth and death is of great benefit to him in practicing the microcosmic and macrocosmic orbits.

Now that Han Shi's physical body has successfully entered the Netherworld, it means that he can use the powerful control link of the Cloud Book Avatar Technique to project Divine Firmament power far exceeding the Foundation Establishment level at critical moments, using this innate sword body as a carrier, and briefly exert combat power no less than that of the Golden Core stage.

This undoubtedly greatly increased his trump card in the battle in the underworld and his confidence in facing the White-Haired True Lord.

Meanwhile, on Han Shi's side...

When the suffocating tearing force of the passage suddenly disappeared, Han Shi found himself with his feet firmly on the ground.

Beneath their feet were cold, dark red rocks, like congealed blood, and the air was thick with an overwhelming stench of blood and a chilling, deathly stillness that penetrated to the bone.

Before them stretched an endless, surging ocean of blood.

The cycle of suffering continues.

The blood-red waves crashed against the rocks, producing a muffled, wailing roar, and countless twisted, pained faces seemed to flash by in the spray.

The gray sky hung low, devoid of sun, moon, and stars, only an eternal sense of oppression.
