Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 369 Ten Thousand Chariots Transform into a Sword
'You have successfully killed a Qi Refining Eighth Level cultivator.'

Xu Yunfan glanced at a message that had appeared in the world, lowered his eyelids slightly, and slowly raised his palm.

Bathed in the morning light, his skin had an almost transparent, crystalline texture, and faint golden ripples of true energy flowed between his fingers.

The Martial Arts Heavenly Eye moves with his thoughts, and the opening and closing of his brow and the automatic operation of his vertical eye allow him to clearly see the surging Ten Extreme True Qi in the meridians under his skin.

That was no longer the misty true energy of an ordinary ninth-realm martial artist, but a torrent of true energy that was almost liquefied.

According to the Yuanshi Sect's realm divisions revealed by Youquan, and referring to the cultivation standards of the Silent Dust Heart Sutra, he is indeed standing at a delicate critical point at this moment.

After repeated absorption and purification, the Ten Extremes True Qi has surpassed the standard of "condensing liquid into mercury" in the Qi Refining stage and reached the perfect state of "mercury slurry shining".

Although its quality is inferior to the true essence of immortal cultivation, his immense Ten Extremes True Qi can easily submerge even a Nether Spring at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Divine Soul Trait: The predictive ability of the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye is undoubtedly the "prototype of divine sense" recorded in the Yuanshi Sect's classics.

The only shortcoming is the lack of the "Foundation Building Daoist Rhyme" that connects heaven and earth.

This state is like an unsharpened, peerless sword.

Xu Yunfan suddenly pointed his fingers like a sword, and a wisp of true energy pierced into the void, leaving a scorching mark in the air that lingered for three breaths.

According to the Heart Sutra of Nirvana, this is the "True Essence Retention Form" that only Foundation Establishment True Persons can achieve. If a Foundation Establishment True Person has profound strength, they can retain their form in one place for several years without disappearing.

Although he could only manage three breaths, it was still something that a Qi Refining stage disciple could not do.

"Half-step Foundation Establishment..."

"There are still three days left, that should be more than enough time..."

According to Youquan, three days later, the disciples of the Yuanmo Sect will descend upon the Divine Martial Realm, at which time there will naturally be a life-or-death struggle.

Now that he possesses true qi, he is as weak as Youquan, and those disciples who have reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining would probably be very fond of him.

He needs to find another way to improve his skills.

Xu Yunfan composed himself, took a step, and headed towards the Martial Arts Hall deep within the Great Zhou Imperial Court.
-
The Martial Arts Tower stands majestically like a sword, with bronze bells hanging from its nine-tiered eaves that move automatically even without wind.

The moment Xu Yunfan stepped across the threshold, the overwhelming literary aura that rushed towards him caused his Ten Extremes True Qi to spontaneously circulate and protect his body.

Looking up, beneath the 33-zhang-high dome, millions of books are densely embedded in the bookshelves, forming a constantly rotating three-dimensional library.

Dugu Jiu stood in front of the golden nanmu wood shelf with the character "器" (qi, meaning vessel), his withered fingers gently stroking the yellowed pages of "The True Explanation of Swordsmanship".

The Heavenly Sword Master was completely absorbed in his work. His sword-like eyebrows would sometimes furrow as if he were puzzled, and sometimes relax as if he had seen the true meaning of the Great Dao. A youthful look of infatuation appeared on his weathered face.

"such a pity……"

He suddenly sighed, his knuckles repeatedly rubbing the chapter "Sword Intent Profound" with his fingers. "If I had seen this book when I forged the Heavenly Sword, my 'Heavenly Sword Intent' would have been refined by at least three points."

His voice was a mixture of regret and amazement.

In the past, he boasted that his swordsmanship was unparalleled and regarded the martial arts of the imperial court as vulgar. Who would have thought that this martial arts training hall would contain so many profound insights that point directly to the Great Dao?

Xu Yunfan did not disturb him, but stood quietly three zhang away, the vertical line between his eyebrows glowing with a faint blood-red light.

The Martial Arts Heavenly Eye transformed into a tangible golden light, sweeping across the layers of bookshelves.

Formless Sword Technique, Ninefold Ascension Steps, Dragon Elephant Subduing Demon Skill...

Countless pieces of information flooded into his sea of ​​consciousness, but under the Martial Arts Divine Eye, this data seemed to be processed at high speed by a state-of-the-art chip, allowing him to quickly distinguish the levels of these martial arts techniques.

Although his martial arts skills were decent, they weren't top-tier; they were merely passable. With his current level of martial arts prowess, he could grasp the general idea with just a glance. Without further hesitation, he stepped upstairs.

As Xu Yunfan stepped onto the spiral jade staircase of the seventh level, his expression shifted slightly, and he suddenly dodged a streak of dark light.

The old eunuch who launched the sneak attack had five hook-like fingers, and his fingernails were coated with "Yama's Smile," a poison that could kill even a ninth-level grandmaster, but he grabbed nothing.

"I didn't expect there would still be someone on duty inside the Martial Arts Tower. You're quite the loyal dog, you've even forgotten about the Great Zhou." Xu Yunfan's tone was calm, but his Ten Extremes True Qi had already transformed into a vortex.

As he spoke, he looked out the window at the distant capital city of Yujing, outside the imperial city, and faintly heard deafening shouts of battle.

With the Empress dead, Li Haomiao and others naturally received the news and seized the opportunity to rise to power.

At this moment, the old eunuch was horrified to discover that his Netherworld True Qi was leaking out uncontrollably, and his wrinkled face was visibly withering away.

Three breaths later, the old eunuch transformed into a skeleton covered in human skin and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Xu Yunfan didn't even look at it. His Ten Extreme True Qi became even more concentrated. He simply went up to the top floor and headed straight for the sandalwood table at the top of the tower.

There was a book there that was neither gold nor jade, and the three ancient seal characters on the cover made Xu Yunfan's eyes flicker.

"Ten Thousand Chariots Transform into Swords!"
Sure enough, since the Great Zhou Imperial Court has collected the remains of the Heavenly Demon, it will definitely collect the corresponding cultivation techniques.

The Great Zhou Dynasty had ruled for nearly a thousand years, and it must have known many secrets.

The moment Xu Yunfan's fingertips touched the "Ten Thousand Chariots Transform into Sword," the long-dormant remnant of the Supreme Dao suddenly trembled, and Yu Congling's cold voice rang out directly in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"what?!"

"You're awake?"

Xu Yunfan raised an eyebrow and subconsciously scanned the Extreme Dao Remains with his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye. He discovered that a sword intent was inexplicably rising within the Extreme Dao Remains, just like a dragon raising its head and slowly reviving.

Yu Congling's illusory image appeared before Xu Yunfan, her white robes fluttering without wind: "The aura of the same sect's sword manual has triggered me."

She stared at the ancient seal script on the cover of the ancient book, her tone suddenly turning cold, "This is one of the ultimate techniques of the 'Wancheng Sword Sect' in the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm. It must have been stolen and brought into the Realm Heaven by some foolish fellow disciple, and left here after his death."

Is Yu Congling a disciple of the Wancheng Sword Sect?

I must seize the opportunity to interrogate a disciple of the Yuanshi Sect, otherwise I will be completely in the dark.

Xu Yunfan ran his fingertips along the edge of the book, the touch stinging like a sword's edge: "Sounds complicated?"

"Those who possess this book but are not disciples of the Sword Sect..."

Yu Congling gave a rare cold laugh, "You will be implanted with the 'Chenghuang Sword Seal,' and no matter where you escape to, you will be hunted down by the Wancheng Sword Sect until you are completely annihilated."

She paused deliberately, wanting to see the arrogant warrior show fear, after all, this lecherous fellow had made her very uncomfortable during the martial arts demonstration in her dream.

"I see."

Xu Yunfan suddenly chuckled, and under Yu Congling's suddenly contracting pupils, he turned to the first page without hesitation.

"you!"

Yu Congling's illusory figure shook violently.

The moment the book was turned, three streams of Xuanhuang sword energy burst forth from the pages, but they were instantly shattered by the vast Ten Extremes True Qi that appeared in Xu Yunfan's Martial Dao Heavenly Eye when they touched his brow.
