Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 358 Night is Approaching
In this way, perhaps his lifespan, which is about to run out, can be alleviated.

The night clouds suddenly dispersed, and the moonlight poured down like a waterfall.

Xu Yunfan finally turned around, his Ten Extremes True Qi swirling in his pupils like a galaxy: "Senior's Ten Extremes Martial Arts is to cleave the Heavenly Gate with a sword, but what I want is..."

He opened his palm, and a wisp of Amitabha's pure fire and the Nine Luminaries' Qi merged in his palm, "It is the fusion of all laws as fuel."

Meeting Dugu Jiu's uncontrollable greedy gaze, Xu Yunfan's lips curled into a smile: "Since the Ten Extremes Martial Arts were inherited from our predecessors, it is only right that we give back to you."

Before he finished speaking, the burning passion in Dugu Jiu's eyes quickly faded, the heat in his eyes suddenly freezing into ice. His withered fingers instinctively reached for the sword hilt, but he stopped himself in an instant. After a long while, he squeezed out a cold laugh from his throat: "Little brat, you know how to do business. You should know that the last person who spoke to me like this has been dead for almost three hundred years. Tell me, what do you want this old bone of mine to do?"

If he hadn't been wary of Xu Yunfan's current strength, the fact that Xu Yunfan was wearing dragon scale armor, carrying three divine weapons, and possessing the formidable power of the Ten Extreme True Qi, which made him feel uneasy, he wouldn't have been able to negotiate with Xu Yunfan so amicably.

"Your wisdom is profound!"

As Xu Yunfan rolled up his sleeves, he spoke: "Now that the Heavenly Demon is about to arrive, various provinces are still vying for the remaining essence of the Dragon Vein."

"Our Daoist sect intends to use the Jade Capital as a furnace to refine terrestrial immortals, but the current Empress wants to sacrifice three thousand miles of mountains and rivers to protect the Zhou dynasty's fortune and extend her lifespan..."

He stepped forward, his eyes gleaming, his expression unreadable.

"Why not let the senior wield the sword and carve a path to heaven for this mortal realm... This would be a great thing for the country and its people. If it succeeds, the senior's name will live on forever."

Dugu Jiu's white hair moved without wind, and the three-foot-long green peak at his waist emitted a deep hum.

Dugu Jiu could certainly hear the hidden meaning in the words. This brat wanted to use his power to flatten the six realms and seventy-nine states, and fill all the accumulated knowledge of various sects over thousands of years into Xu Yunfan's own Ten Extreme Martial Arts, so as to elevate and sublimate him.

Thinking of those Ninth Realm Grandmasters who had been drained of their life force, the old monster let out a laugh like that of a night owl: "What a vicious scheme to kill with a borrowed knife! Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you first and devour your Xuanhuang Qi?"

“If you wanted it, why wait until today? Besides, this is a great deed, and heaven and earth and all living beings will build a temple for you.”

Dugu Jiu's forehead veins throbbed slightly: "What I want is to live forever, not to live in other people's memories. Do you think I want to be like that Mingzun of the Incense Sect? He was also an extremely powerful person back then, but now he is neither alive nor dead, unable to live or die, and can only manifest in the dreams of ordinary people. He is very pitiful."

Seeing that Xu Yunfan was about to speak again.

"enough!"

The old monster flicked his sleeve.

He stared at Xu Yunfan with a faint smile, but the Ten Extreme True Qi began to slowly swirl around him, finally suppressing his killing intent.

He paced back and forth before finally speaking.

"Tomorrow is the final examination before the palace. I can keep that madwoman occupied for a moment. Such a golden opportunity, I'm sure you can seize it with a flick of your wrist..."

Xu Yunfan felt relieved, thinking to himself that his experience as a corporate slave in his previous life had not been in vain. He first proposed a completely impossible goal to make the other party refuse decisively, and then got the other party to give a condition that was close to the bottom line.

He stood there, making no attempt to conceal his aura; he was there to fish.

During the day, he fought nine Qi Refining cultivators alone, which naturally shocked them. Moreover, his True Essence Absorption Technique would definitely make this old monster with his lifespan almost exhausted unable to restrain himself.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you, senior."

The Heavenly Sword Dugu Jiu, a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold, was sung three hundred years ago.

The Daoist school has its own records.

As Xu Yunfan clapped his hands and laughed, a dull bell suddenly rang out from the direction of Yujing City.

His laughter stopped abruptly, and he turned to look at Dugu Jiu, whose face darkened slightly.

"The warning bell of the Imperial Observatory." Xu Yunfan's eyes flickered slightly.

The two looked towards the imperial city at the same time, and saw the "Great Sun Meteorite Core" of the Nine Luminaries Sect floating above the Vermilion Bird Gate, with three thousand Imperial Guards below it forming the "Heaven-Burning and Spirit-Destroying Array".

Large gusts of spiritual energy from heaven and earth are being pushed out from the earth's veins, activating the grand formation set up in Jade Capital City.

Even more shockingly, the National Seal hanging high above Xuanwu Gate suddenly emitted a dazzling mysterious light, and the surface of the seal twisted like water ripples, actually revealing the majestic face of the Empress.

Those icy phoenix eyes were fixed on the two people on the Wentian Pavilion, with undisguised killing intent surging deep within their pupils. Their voices, like the pronouncements of an emperor, were as loud as thunder.

"Tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM), I will personally attend the martial arts demonstration!"

The sound waves, carrying the oppressive power of the dragon vein, swept across Jade Capital, causing even the bluestone slabs of Vermilion Bird Street to tremble.

Xu Yunfan remained unmoved, a cold smile playing on his lips.

His perfect mining skills endowed him with a keen sense of identifying dragon veins, and at this moment he was clearly capturing that faint, stagnant gap in the spiritual energy flowing as the Imperial Guards formed their formation.

"Just a battle formation technique from two thousand years ago..."

Xu Yunfan shook his head slightly, "Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been revived from the earth's veins, it is still forced to operate in a way that is ultimately not smooth... It only takes a moment to shatter this paper-thin formation!"

"Looks like that woman's going to fight to the death."

Dugu Jiu suddenly pulled out a moldy ordination certificate and threw it to Xu Yunfan. The three characters "Li Chunyang" on it were soaked in blood: "Three hundred years ago, when I stormed the imperial mausoleum, I found half of a Heavenly Demon's remains enshrined in the Zhou Dynasty's ancestral temple. If you see the Empress's pupils turn purple tomorrow, immediately use the Ten Extremes True Qi to shatter her Tanzhong acupoint. That should be where the Purple-Gold Elixir was refined from the Heavenly Demon's body!"

Xu Yunfan's pupils contracted sharply upon hearing this.

"The Great Zhou Imperial Court once killed a Heavenly Demon?"

Dugu Jiu nodded slightly, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her cloudy eyes: "Back when the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded, Emperor Taizu Li Qian, at the level of a terrestrial immortal, captured a demon from beyond the realm."

His withered fingers stroked the mottled scabbard of the longsword, and he sneered, "What a pity, no matter how powerful your cultivation is, you can't escape the erosion of time."

Xu Yunfan was startled upon hearing this.

No wonder Bi Yuan dared to defy the world and drain the dragon vein!
How many brilliant and talented people in this world have ultimately become just a few lines of ink in the annals of history?

Just as he was about to press for details about the Heavenly Demon, the blue bricks beneath his feet suddenly trembled violently.

"Heh...that's interesting."

Dugu Jiu grinned, revealing his chapped lips and gleaming white teeth.

Sensing the killing intent, the three-foot-long sword at his waist began to ooze dark red blood from the cloud patterns on its scabbard: "The frustration I felt from you, kid, is perfect to vent on those bald monks."

Before he finished speaking, the old man's hunched body was already filled with overwhelming sword intent.

The chanting of sutras by monks from the distant Amitabha Temple could be faintly heard. He pressed his withered palm to his sword and sneered, "At three-quarters past the hour of Chou, send them to the Western Paradise as soon as possible!"

As the eastern sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, Xu Yunfan squinted and looked out. At the end of Vermilion Bird Street, the Corrosive Crossbow of the Imperial City Guard was gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light.

Dugu Jiu's figure had already transformed into a sword rainbow tearing through the morning mist.

In order to spread Buddhism to the east, Amitabha Temple has brought out all its resources.
