Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 671 The so-called universal salvation, the purifying glass of the world

Pudu Zhenjun did not mention the enmity between Qingyuan and him, but only pointed out that Qingyuan was obstructing the path and plotting to seize the foundation, and characterized it as Xu Yunfan eliminating a scourge for the sect. This stance was instantly elevated, and Xu Yunfan was completely included in the core interest circle of the Yuanshi Sect.

What Xu Yunfan found most unbearable was that although the way Pudu Zhenjun practiced was Taoism, it was actually Buddhism.

He seemed to sense Xu Yunfan's doubts.

A smile appeared on Pudu Zhenjun's face.

"Do you think my behavior is similar to that of the monks of the Pure Land of Bodhi?"

Xu Yunfan said, "Please, True Lord, make this clear."

Pudu Zhenjun said, "This is not a Buddhist thing. It is just the Taoist aura manifested by the imagery of my Taoist temple to save all sentient beings and the Pure World Glazed Tile."

His gaze seemed to pierce through the glazed roof of the main hall, looking into the distance.

"This crystal-clear ambition is not for compassion, but for purifying the world. I have a dream, which is to wish for peace in the world. This is my obsession and also the image of my enlightenment. I seek to wash away the filth accumulated in the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm, let the malevolence disappear, and let the disputes naturally subside. Only in this way can there be a truly pure path of cultivation to walk."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunfan had a thousand complaints but didn't know where to begin.

It sounds like a girl who frequents nightclubs every day, with countless men coming and going from her room. But the girl solemnly tells him that she is a pure and innocent girl, and that those men are just as ridiculous as playing games with her in the room.

Xu Yunfan pressed on, asking, "What does the True Lord's Dao describe?"

The True Lord of Universal Salvation said quietly, "If Liuli wants to purify the world, she ultimately needs to save all people."

Good guy.

Xu Yunfan finally understood what Pudu Zhenjun meant.

Killing everyone is also a way to save all living beings and purify the world.

This imagery is undeniably chilling.

When Xu Yunfan came to his senses, he thought the person in front of him was simply insane.

Xu Yunfan chuckled twice as a response, but did not reply.

Pudu Zhenjun didn't mind and nodded slightly.

"Now that you are a Golden Core True Monarch and a high-ranking member of the sect, there are still several vacant immortal mountains among the nine immortal mountains of my Yuanshi Sect. You may choose any one of them as your own Daoist temple."

Although Shenxiao Peak is excellent, it is ultimately just a spiritual peak, lacking the deep foundation of a celestial mountain, and even less capable of supporting the evolution of a True Monarch-level grotto-heaven.

Xu Yunfan's heart stirred upon hearing this.

The Nine Immortal Mountains are the foundation upon which the Primordial Sect was founded. They are rich in spiritual energy and have a stable legal system, making them far superior to ordinary spiritual peaks.

Having a sacred mountain as a place of practice is of great benefit to cultivating elixir and transforming celestial realms.

He hurriedly said, "I have just entered the Golden Core stage. Please enlighten me, True Lord, which immortal mountain is still worth choosing?"

"Now that you are a True Lord, you can call me Senior Brother."

Pudu Zhenjun casually said something.

Xu Yunfan readily accepted good advice.

"Senior brother."

“Nine Immortals Mountain, excluding my Chenghua Mountain, my junior sister Dongming’s Xuansha Mountain, and Qingyuan Mountain, which has been mostly destroyed along with Qingyuan.”

Pudu Zhenjun spoke in a calm tone, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"There are still Zixu Mountain, Yuque Mountain, Tiandu Peak, Youhuang Valley, and Xuehun Cliff vacant. You can rely on your intuition to choose the one that best matches your Shenxiao Daoist style."

Xu Yunfan was somewhat surprised: "Senior brother, the sect only has three True Monarchs now?"

The number was less than he had imagined.

Qingyuan is dead, but Dongming remains, and with himself added to the list, even Pudu Zhenjun himself has acknowledged it.

"Exactly."

Pudu Zhenjun's face revealed a complex expression that was difficult to detect. He sighed slightly and said, "Back then, I was a bit impulsive in order to condense the image. At the height of the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm, my sect possessed four mountains and had five or six Zhenjuns."

However, the path is arduous, with internal strife and external calamities. Over the past thousand years, the people have withered to this point, with new blood failing to keep up and the old generation trapped in their own predicament.

Junior Brother Xu, your achievement of the Golden Core stage is truly a blessing bestowed upon you by the sect's destiny.

I hope you cherish this position, cultivate diligently, and also consider the future of the sect.

Xu Yunfan understood.

Limited resources, scarce Dao fruits, internal strife, external suppression, and the uncertainty surrounding the path of cultivation after reaching the Golden Core stage have all contributed to a sharp decline in the number of True Monarchs of the Primordial Sect.

As the one in charge, the pressure on Pudu Zhenjun is unimaginable.

As a newly promoted True Monarch, he was undoubtedly entrusted with high hopes, at least for now, he was an important source of fresh blood and combat strength for the sect.

Of course, Xu Yunfan had figured out what Pudu Zhenjun wanted to express, but he remained noncommittal about what Pudu Zhenjun was really thinking.

Most of the disciples of the Yuanshi Sect were selfish and self-serving.

Those who can achieve the Golden Elixir must have risen to power by stepping on the heads of others, their success built on the bones of countless others.

Right now, True Lord Pudu is both compassionate and deeply worried about the future of the sect.

Xu Yunfan said that he had overdone it.

"This disciple will remember the True Lord's teachings and will certainly do his best to cultivate and live up to the sect's expectations."

Xu Yunfan made a solemn statement.

Pudu Zhenjun smiled with satisfaction and encouraged Xu Yunfan with high-sounding words such as diligently cultivating the Great Dao, avoiding arrogance and impetuosity, the unity of the sect, and mutual support.

Xu Yunfan listened attentively with his head bowed, but his mind was racing.

The other party is an ancient monster who has lived for countless years; just listen to these words and don't take them too seriously.

Having said almost everything he needed to say, Xu Yunfan remained standing respectfully in place, showing no intention of taking his leave.

Pudu Zhenjun's eyes flickered slightly, and his smile deepened: "Junior brother seems to still have doubts? Are there any confusions in your cultivation? Please speak freely. Now that we are both Zhenjun, it is common for us to discuss the Dao and resolve our doubts."

This is what I was waiting for.

Xu Yunfan felt relieved, but deliberately showed some hesitation on his face, as if he had something difficult to say. After a moment, he said in a tentative tone, "Junior brother, there is something that makes me uneasy, but I don't know if I should say it."

"Just speak frankly."

The Way of the True Lord of Universal Salvation.

Xu Yunfan took a deep breath, as if gathering his courage and putting on a show.

"When my junior brother attained enlightenment, by sheer chance, he seized the Dao Fruit of the Taiyin Profound Mirror..."

He deliberately emphasized the word "seize" slightly, while carefully observing Pudu Zhenjun's expression as he spoke.

Sure enough, these old guys who had lived for countless years had excellent composure on their faces, and you couldn't tell what expression they had at all.

"When Junior Brother heard about this Dao Guo later, it seemed to be related to Senior Brother. Junior Brother's actions were truly desperate to save his life. Afterwards, he felt uneasy and feared that he had offended Senior Brother."

That's an extremely tricky question.

It is true that the Taiyin Xuanjian Dao Fruit was targeted and orchestrated by the True Lord of Universal Salvation, and that Xu Yunfan took advantage of the situation.

He took the initiative to bring it up, adopting a posture of apology, firstly to test the true attitude of the True Lord of Salvation, and secondly to bring the hidden conflict into the open.

If the True Lord of Universal Salvation is enraged, he must immediately think of a way to escape.

If the other party tolerates it, it means either the outcome is not as crucial to them as they imagined, or they have weighed the pros and cons and feel that harming them would do more harm than good.

The smile on Pudu Zhenjun's face faded for a moment, then quickly returned to its compassionate and peaceful expression.
