Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 335 The Heart Sutra of Nirvana
Due to Xu Yunfan's intense and terrifying aura, the Imperial Guards, who had surrounded him like an impregnable fortress, involuntarily retreated step by step, and the Xuan Tie Spear Formation parted to create a passage.

Wherever Xu Yunfan passed, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the ground. These battle-hardened elites were forced by the invisible pressure to make even their weapons tremble!
Chen Wei's knuckles turned white, and the shaft of the jet-black spear in his hand creaked as he gripped it tightly. Where the spear tip fell, the bluestone floor tiles were already riddled with deep cracks from the three-foot spear's gleam.

He stared intently at Xu Yunfan's back, veins bulging in his neck, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to thrust out the spear. He couldn't make a move, nor could he bring himself to do so.

Xu Yunfan's strength, the condensation of his aura, and the vastness of his true energy made even him feel his heart pound with fear.

The other person is stronger than him!

Upon reaching the exit, Xu Yunfan paused slightly and said coldly, "Even without the protection of the Great Zhou Xuanhuang Qi, you are no match for me."

Before Chen Wei could react, Xu Yunfan's figure vanished in an instant.

Only then did his expression suddenly twist, becoming ferocious and terrifying.

"Xu! Yun! Fan!"

Chen Wei's face was twisted like a demon, and his roar shook the Zhuque Street archway, causing dust to fall.
-
Finding a tall, deserted pavilion, Xu Yunfan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, his true energy swirling around him, causing the dragon scales on his armor to undulate with the pulse of his true energy.

He focused his mind on his body and clearly sensed the Ten Extremes True Qi surging like a river, bursting forth from the Primordial True Seed at the junction of his flesh and blood, flowing throughout his entire body.

Where true energy passes, flesh and skin gleam with a jade-like luster, and tendons, bones, and internal organs resonate and hum, each cycle subtly harmonizing with the rhythm of heaven and earth.

This true energy is extremely profound.

The Ten Extremes True Qi contains various qualities, following the path of all laws returning to their source. Crimson flames burn away impurities, mysterious ice condenses the meridians, Geng metal tempers the bones, and green wood nourishes the internal organs...

The ten distinct energies, under the control of the Primordial True Seed, became one, and in the process of circulating energy throughout the body, they spontaneously absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy.

Xu Yunfan could even "see" the subtle ripples created by the opening and closing of the pores on his body as the true qi circulated, drawing in the free spiritual energy within a thirty-foot radius like a whale swallowing the sea.

but……

Unlike the meridian system in novels of my previous life, where true qi circulates, the true qi in martial arts of this world circulates through flesh and blood.

By now, Xu Yunfan naturally understands where the ultimate goal of martial arts lies.

The martial arts of this world are completely different from the meridian theory of the previous world. The Ten Extremes True Qi does not follow the meridians, but instead uses blood, flesh, skin and membranes as rivers, tendons, bones and internal organs as mountains, and the internal organs as the source.

The Primordial True Seed is like the pivot of heaven and earth, combining blood and spiritual energy to forge true energy, with each cycle occurring within the flesh and blood.

Xu Yunfan slowly opened his eyes, a golden light seemed to flow in them, then quickly returned to its deep depths.

He looked down and stared at his palm.

With long, slender fingers and distinct knuckles, he appears no different from ordinary people, yet he has long transcended the mundane.

Golden skin and jade meridians, mercury-rich blood and silver marrow, water and fire immortal garments protecting the body, circulating qi throughout the body like a whale swallowing the sea...

This physical body has reached the pinnacle that can be achieved at the eighth level of martial arts.

"But having cultivated martial arts to this point, what further methods of cultivation are there?"

He spoke softly, his fingertips tracing his chest.

Sensing its master's aura, the dragon scales and armored leaves receded layer by layer like living things, revealing the long-dormant remnant of the ultimate Dao within.

Despite possessing a physique at the peak of the ninth realm and an abundance of true energy as vast as the ocean, he was still unable to break through that invisible shackle.

What if we train for another 60 years? Quantitative change can never lead to qualitative change.

"Above the Nine Realms...Land Immortals..."

Xu Yunfan's gaze narrowed slightly, his fingertips unconsciously caressing the delicate, smooth skin on the surface of the remains.

How exactly did those legendary beings cross the insurmountable barrier and elevate their mortal bodies to a higher level?
Unfortunately, they cannot leave Yujing City now. If they do, not only will the grand plan for Yujing City be ruined, but they will also suffer the backlash of Xuanhuang Qi.

Otherwise, he would have loved to rush back to the Dao Sect and ask his master, Bi Yuan, how to cultivate at the Ninth Realm. With this thought in mind, Xu Yunfan had an idea and opened the hatch containing the ginseng child from the Xuan Steel Case behind him.

"Boom!"

A bald head suddenly popped out. The ginseng baby, with its bald whiskers, stared wide-eyed and opened its mouth to let out a series of sharp "squeaks," just like a wild cat whose tail had been stepped on.

His indignant posture seemed to be venting all the resentment he had felt from being ripped out over the past few days.

Xu Yunfan remained expressionless, treating it purely as background noise. He habitually curled his fingers, about to pluck the ginseng whiskers as usual, but suddenly stopped.

My fingertips hovered over the ginseng baby's shiny forehead, finding nowhere to land.

"The ginseng roots... have all been plucked?"

He raised an eyebrow, a rare look of surprise on his face.

His gaze shifted downwards, looking at Shenwa, and his eyes gradually turned dangerous.

I wonder if, with his current strength as a Grandmaster of the Ninth Realm of Qi Refining, he can withstand swallowing this ginseng child whole.

The ginseng was very sensitive and naturally sensed Xu Yunfan's dangerous gaze. The "squeaking" stopped abruptly, and it shrank back into the casing, never to show its face again.

Xu Yunfan considered the matter and temporarily suppressed the idea. Right now, he needed to solidify the imperial examination system. If he rashly took it over, unforeseen events might occur, causing unexpected setbacks.

That old man Bi Sheng should have already left the city.

There's nothing to worry about right now.

After silently practicing the Lin Word Technique for a while, Xu Yunfan felt slightly agitated, so he simply got up, walked to the railing of the pavilion, and quietly watched the Jade Capital City gradually sink into darkness.

correct!

Xu Yunfan lightly tapped the black steel case behind his waist with his fingertips. The moment the mechanism popped open, a jade slip popped out from a hidden compartment.

He picked out the jade slip he had obtained from Jiang Xu. It was as white as solidified mutton fat, with dark patterns like stars engraved on its surface.

Based on his past life experience, Xu Yunfan was highly certain that this jade slip was extraordinary. When he obtained it before, he had not yet condensed true qi in his body. He wondered what it would be like now.

He exhaled a few wisps of true energy from his fingertips, attempting to infuse them into the jade slip.

"Buzz!"

A low hum suddenly arose in the air, and the ancient jade slip emitted a faint light, but otherwise remained unchanged.

Xu Yunfan raised an eyebrow, realizing what was happening, and placed the jade slip between his eyebrows, exhaling his true energy once more.

The Ten Extremes True Qi transformed into a torrent that surged in.

In an instant, a scene exploded before his eyes.

After a long while, Xu Yunfan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with surprise and joy, yet also with a hint of astonishment.

Inside the jade slip, there is indeed a cultivation technique called the "Silent Extinction of Dust Heart Sutra"!
A true foundation-building method!

However, in Xu Yunfan's view, it was undoubtedly a demonic cultivation manual.

"Severing the seven emotions is like dusting off a cloud, and extinguishing the six desires is like brushing away sand."

This is a technique that uses the annihilation of human emotions to achieve a qualitative change in spiritual power. When it is mastered, it forges an unyielding foundation for all eternity. The cultivator will be surrounded by "the Dao of Nirvana," and ordinary cultivators will fall into a state of Dao heart collapse when they look into it. It is extremely extraordinary.

Xu Yunfan stared at the "Heart Sutra of Nirvana" transmitted to his mind from the jade slip, his brows gradually furrowing.
