Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 670 Cultivators are Big Rats
This Divine Firmament Dao Fruit belongs to the pure Yang and supreme strength category, and is associated with destruction and creation.

An isolated yang cannot produce life, nor can a solitary yin grow.

To achieve the perfection of the Golden Elixir and ensure the stability and high suspension of the grotto-heaven, a complete cyclical system is indispensable.

Based on the information he sensed from the Divine Firmament Dao Fruit when he achieved the Golden Core stage, as well as the corroborating evidence from the Jade Slip of the Insightful True Lord, to lay the foundation for the mid-stage of the Golden Core, one needs to devour and refine at least three Dao Fruits with mutually reinforcing attributes that can form a cycle and promote the growth of one's origin.

"Three Dao Fruits..."

Xu Yunfan frowned slightly. This was undoubtedly snatching food from a tiger's mouth, or even cutting flesh from the foundation of other True Monarchs.

The best choice to fit the cyclical system of his Shenxiao Dao Fruit is to form a basic framework of the flow of the five elements and the balance of yin and yang.

After all, the destruction and rebirth of the Divine Firmament Dao Fruit Master can be called Yin and Yang.

His mind raced, and combining his own perception of the laws of heaven and earth with the records of his sect, his goal gradually became clear.

"The Taihua Spirit Void Realm also has Dao Fruits belonging to the Taiyin category. From the current perspective, a Dao Fruit in the Reincarnation Nether Sea seems to best exemplify this. But the Crimson Sun Dao Fruit..."

Thinking of the True Lord of the Blazing Sun, who reigns over the Wancheng Sword Sect and whose sword intent can burn the heavens and boil the seas, and whose temper is said to be as violent as his Dao fruit, Xu Yunfan felt a sense of unease.

The Dao fruit attained by the other party is most perfectly compatible with his own Shenxiao Dao fruit.

This is almost tantamount to declaring war on one of the most elite forces in the Wancheng Sword Sect.

But the other party should have absolutely decided to kill him at this moment, after all, his Divine Firmament Dao Fruit is extremely compatible with the other party's Blazing Sun Dao Fruit.

This Dao Fruit has similar attributes to the Divine Firmament Dao Fruit. If they can be fused together, Yang Fire will generate Yang Thunder, or Yang Thunder will stimulate Yang Fire, and its power will surely increase dramatically.

But this also means that he and that True Lord Chiyang are natural enemies in the struggle for Dao, and there is no way to reconcile them.

The opponent's supernatural powers and techniques must also instinctively covet Xu Yunfan's Divine Firmament Dao Fruit, like the two poles of a magnet attracting and repelling each other.

His foundation is not yet secure, and his chances of winning against a veteran True Lord are slim.

And the Taiyin Mingqiu Dao Fruit hanging high in the sea of ​​suffering of reincarnation.

This path is extremely yin and cold, its main manifestation being illumination and stillness, forming a stark yin-yang opposition with the violent destruction of Shenxiao.

If the Yin-soft power of the Taiyin Mingqiu Dao Fruit can be used to harmonize the extreme Yang and hardness of Shenxiao, and then the pure Yang fire of the Chiyang Zhenjun Dao Fruit can be used to harmonize or catalyze it, a triangular cycle of Taiyin, Shenxiao, and Chiyang can be initially formed.

Taiyin gives birth to Shenxiao, Shenxiao assists Chiyang, and Chiyang may in turn nourish and balance Taiyin.

But the sea of ​​suffering in the cycle of reincarnation is not so easy to enter.

No wonder, no wonder cultivators are condemned as rats by the Heavenly Dao. If cultivators want to ascend, they naturally have to cut flesh from the Heavenly Dao.

As he frowned in deep thought, Xu Yunfan suddenly slapped his forehead.

"That almost ruined everything!"

After achieving the Golden Core, he was preoccupied with many trivial matters, consolidating his realm, dealing with the True Monarch of Insight to digest what he had learned, and contemplating the future. He even forgot to pay a visit to the current true leader of the Primordial Sect.

Pudu Zhenjun.

The leader of the Yuanshi Sect, even after reaching the Golden Core stage himself, didn't go.

This is extremely rude and could easily offend someone.

I still need to stay with the Yuanshi Sect; it's not time to start my own sect yet.

He immediately composed himself, straightened his purple-gold thunder-patterned Daoist robe that represented his identity as the Divine Firmament True Lord, and transformed into a purple-gold thunderbolt that tore through the sky, heading straight for Chenghua Mountain in the Yuanshi Nine Immortal Mountains.

That is the sacred site of the True Lord of Universal Salvation.

Upon entering the Chenghua Mountain area, a vast and majestic imagery immediately enveloped us.

In stark contrast to the violent thunder of Shenxiao Peak and the eerie darkness of Xuansha Mountain, this place is surrounded by celestial light, with auspicious birds and beasts appearing and disappearing. The sounds of Buddhist chants and Zen hymns can be faintly heard among the mountains, and the land is lush with vegetation and full of vitality. There is also a great power flowing through it to dispel malevolent energy and save all living beings.

Xu Yunfan sensed something akin to the Pure Land of Bodhi and Zen, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. The entire mountain seemed to be enveloped in a layer of warm and soft celestial light, making the space appear exceptionally stable and peaceful.

This is the Daoist imagery of the True Lord of Universal Salvation.

"To save all sentient beings and purify the world with crystal."

Within its dojo, all malevolent energy and curses are greatly suppressed and eliminated, and hostility is even more difficult to breed.

This is really strange.

Xu Yunfan was full of surprise. He never expected that a true Buddha could emerge from the Yuanshi Sect.
He naturally didn't believe it. The True Lord of the Primordial Beginning Sect, who created such an image, must have a completely distorted foundation in his ideology.

Xu Yunfan's lightning escape light dissipated as it approached the mountain peak, as a sign of respect.

He took a down-to-earth approach and climbed the mountain on foot.

Along the way, all the disciples and officials he encountered, regardless of their cultivation level, bowed respectfully upon seeing him in his True Lord robes, saying "Greetings, True Lord Shenxiao," their eyes filled with awe.

A true ruler can decide their life or death with a single thought.

Xu Yunfan remained calm, nodded in acknowledgment, and took a step that covered several miles. Soon, he arrived at the majestic Pudu Hongfa Hall atop the mountain, with its glazed tile roof and sandalwood incense.

The palace doors opened silently.

A Taoist priest in yellow robes, with compassionate eyes and a calm, deep aura, stood by the door, bowing respectfully.

"The True Lord is waiting. Please follow me, True Lord Shenxiao."

Although this person's aura was concealed, Xu Yunfan could sense that his cultivation was probably above that of Mo Du, and he had already taken a half-step into the threshold of the Golden Core stage.

His cultivation level was similar to that of Chu Chengnan and Lu Chuan.

Those who dare not attain the Golden Elixir will ultimately never be able to sit on the table.

Stepping inside, one finds the space to be far more expansive than it appears from the outside.

The roof of the palace is like a starry dome, adorned with countless celestial lights.

In the center, on a prayer mat, sat the True Lord of Universal Salvation.

He was described as simple and unassuming, with a slightly thin build. He wore a simple, plain white Taoist robe and a Taoist crown. His face was serene, and there was no trace of magical power emanating from him. He seemed to be one with the entire Chenghua Mountain and even with the surrounding heaven and earth.

Only those eyes, as deep as an endless starry sea, revealed a divine light that understood the ways of the world and had compassion for all living beings, making Xu Yunfan feel an immense pressure originating from the level of life itself.

This True Lord's cultivation level far surpasses that of Qingyuan and Dongming, and he has probably reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm or even higher.

This peaceful atmosphere, in particular, felt so out of place to him, almost like it was taking him out of the story.

I always feel like I'm in a Pure Land of Bodhi and Zen.

“Disciple Xu Yunfan pays respects to the True Lord of Universal Salvation. Having returned from attaining enlightenment, I have been preoccupied with trivial matters and have not been able to pay my respects to the Sect Leader in time. Please forgive me, True Lord.”

Xu Yunfan suppressed all his aura and bowed deeply in a solemn Daoist salute. Now that everyone was at the Golden Core stage, although their strengths differed, there was no need for him to be so subservient.

Pudu Zhenjun's gaze fell on Xu Yunfan, his gaze gentle and peaceful.

"Divine Firmament True Lord, there is no need for such formalities. The achievement of the Golden Elixir is a blessing for our Primordial Beginning Sect, and it is also a manifestation of your great perseverance, wisdom, and fortune."

The voice of the True Lord of Universal Salvation was peaceful and soothing, carrying a strange power to calm people's hearts.

"The matter of Qingyuan was his own fault. He obstructed people's path and plotted to seize the foundation of his fellow practitioners. This is the work of a demon. You have done a great service by eliminating this scourge for the sect. All the past events are like smoke and clouds, there is no need to dwell on them."

"This disciple understands. Thank you for your understanding, True Lord."

Xu Yunfan responded respectfully, but his heart skipped a beat.
