Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 675 Crimson Sun Dao Fruit
"Thank you for your grace, True Lord!"

Bi Yuan and the others were moved to tears, and their hearts were filled with boundless excitement.

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

They rose from remote Lingfeng Peak to become disciples of the Nine Immortal Mountains, an opportunity that envied countless disciples of the Yuanshi Sect.

Everyone secretly resolved to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Xu Yunfan saw this and nodded to himself. He then glanced at Bi Yuan and the others and saw that they looked at him with a slightly restrained expression. He sighed inwardly.

Given the significant disparity in strength, although the two sides remained close, a degree of restraint was inevitable.

Xu Yunfan had no way to deal with this.
-
After thoroughly settling the disciples at the mountain gate, refining the essence of Shenxiao Mountain, stabilizing their Golden Core realm, and initially completing the setup of the mountain-protecting formation,
Xu Yunfan finally devoted all his attention to the path after reaching the Golden Core stage.

Nourish the elixir to transform the heavens, and devour the fruits of the Dao.

The route is clear and straightforward; all that's needed now is to continuously solidify the Dao Fruit of the Cave Heaven.

This is what is meant by the Golden Elixir.

To go further, one must devour other Dao Fruits.

He looked inward at his dantian, where the Divine Firmament Golden Core shone with a brilliant purple-gold hue, and the nascent form of the inner cave was slowly operating.

The Divine Firmament Dao Fruit Master is destroyed and reborn, extremely strong and yang, but isolated yang cannot last.

To ensure the stability and high elevation of the grotto-heaven, allowing its laws to arise spontaneously, nourish the Golden Core, and sustain the body, thus reaching the state of an unshakeable grotto-heaven in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, it is necessary to introduce the power of other Dao fruits to harmonize and catalyze, forming a cycle.

The best target is the Crimson Sun Dao Fruit of the Crimson Sun True Monarch of the Wancheng Sword Sect.

This Dao Fruit has similar attributes to the Divine Firmament Dao Fruit, both belonging to the extreme Yang.

If they can merge, the Yang Fire will generate Yang Thunder, or the Yang Thunder will stimulate the Yang Fire, and its power will surely increase dramatically, enough to allow him to quickly advance to the peak of the early stage of the Golden Core realm, or even peek at the threshold of the middle stage.

But Xu Yunfan knew perfectly well that this was almost tantamount to declaring war on the Wancheng Sword Sect.

Perhaps for the Wancheng Sword Sect, the death of a Qi Refining disciple or even a Foundation Establishment True Person is nothing. After all, everyone is a True Lord. When faced with the same interests, even if they are at odds, they can still work together.

However, if one plots to attain the Dao of a True Lord, the dangers involved are self-evident.

The slightest carelessness could result in being ganged up on, and the True Lord of Salvation would absolutely not step in to save you.

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.

They are natural enemies, irreconcilable.

"True Lord of the Blazing Sun, Who Separates Light and Ignites Flames..."

Xu Yunfan murmured the name, his eyes flashing with purple-gold lightning.

Now that his foundation is relatively stable, his chances of winning against this veteran True Lord are slim. A direct assault would be the worst possible strategy.

After learning this information, Xu Yunfan naturally began to consciously collect all the information about True Lord Chiyang.

Through intelligence channels within the Yuanshi Sect and by subtly inquiring with well-informed Foundation Establishment Grandmasters, Xu Yunfan gradually sketched out the outline of the Crimson Sun True Lord.

His personality, like his Dao fruit, is as fierce and fiery as fire. Within the Wancheng Sword Sect, he is known for his formidable combat prowess and explosive temper.

He is ruthless in his methods of dealing with enemies and believes that the way of the sword is solely about killing.

Its Taoist characteristics are also very distinctive. The Li Guang Ran Yan Chi Yang Dao Guo (a Taoist fruit) grants it terrifying fire-type divine abilities that can burn the sky and boil the sea. Its sword intent is fierce and domineering, and it is especially good at large-scale burning sword techniques. With one sword strike, a thousand miles of land will be scorched.

His natal flying sword, Fenji, is infamous for its ferocity.

Judging from their social relationships, Xu Yunfan could guess that his relationship with the Chunyang Ancestor, the leader of the Wancheng Sword Sect, wasn't very good. After all, both Chiyang Zhenjun and Tongxuan Zhenjun were direct descendants of the Wancheng Sword Sect. The Chunyang Ancestor, on the other hand, was an outsider and a country bumpkin, so he never really looked down on him and they didn't get along.

Although the Pure Yang Patriarch is currently in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, he is currently the number one in the Wancheng Sword Sect.

He had a long-standing feud with another True Lord in the sect, the Eternal Heavenly Light True Lord of the North Pole Peak. Due to their differing ideologies, one advocated extreme destruction while the other advocated universal heavenly light, and they clashed many times.

In the Pure Land of Bodhi, he has committed countless blood feuds and is one of the Sword Sect True Lords most hated by Buddhist cultivators.

He is stationed at Chiyang Peak, one of the twelve sword peaks of the Wancheng Sword Sect, but he is warlike and often takes the initiative to patrol the borders, especially enjoying causing trouble for the Puchan Pure Land and the Yuanshi Sect.

Many Foundation Establishment True Persons of the Yuanshi Sect have fallen victim to his wickedness. It is said that True Lord Qingyuan has also fought against True Lord Chiyang many times before.

Its sacred ground, Chiyang Peak, is heavily guarded and filled with fire-elemental laws, making it difficult for outsiders to enter.

While collecting and organizing the intelligence, Xu Yunfan also tried to use his divine sense to sense the third Dao Fruit, which could theoretically be used for reconciliation.

The Taiyin Mingqiu Dao Fruit of the Cycle of Suffering.

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, laying the foundation for the supreme Dao.

However, no matter how he activated the Divine Firmament Golden Elixir, or how his divine sense extended towards the mysterious Sea of ​​Reincarnation, it was all like a stone sinking into the sea, yielding nothing.

The cycle of suffering is mysterious and unpredictable, isolated from the outside world, and difficult to explore without personal experience.

"It seems that the journey through the sea of ​​suffering of reincarnation must be put on hold for the time being, and left for another day."

Xu Yunfan frowned slightly and refocused his attention on the Crimson Sun Dao Fruit in front of him.

A direct confrontation would definitely result in being ganged up on, so Xu Yunfan naturally had to devise a plan carefully.

Could we leverage the power of the Pure Land of Bodhi? The True Lord of the Red Sun and the Pure Land of Bodhi are sworn enemies, with a deep-seated hatred for each other.

If he could cleverly exploit the hatred that the Pure Land of Bodhi Zen harbors towards True Lord Chi Yang, provoke or intensify the conflict between the two sides, and even create an opportunity for the powerful figures of the Pure Land of Bodhi Zen to severely injure True Lord Chi Yang at any cost, he could snatch chestnuts from the fire.

But this requires accurate intelligence and a good grasp of timing.

Moreover, the Wancheng Sword Sect is not a monolithic entity.

The key to breaking through lies in the conflict between the True Lord of the Crimson Sun and the True Lord of Eternal Heavenly Light at the North Pole Peak.

If we can find a way to exacerbate the conflict between them, incite internal strife, or weaken Chiyang through the hands of that Arctic True Lord, that would also be the best course of action.

The Crimson Sun True Lord has a violent temper and is easily broken; this is his weakness.

If you can find the person or thing that they care about, or a key point in their spiritual practice, that is the best time to take action.

At the same time, is it possible to establish some kind of tacit cooperation with Dongming Zhenjun, or even Chunyang Zushi, who has the grace of transmitting the Dharma and protecting the Tao to him?

After all, within the Wancheng Sword Sect, the direct descendants and those from humble backgrounds are clearly distinguished.

Of course, cooperating with the Pure Yang Patriarch is extremely risky, as his identity is sensitive and could easily trigger a conflict between the two sects, so it requires utmost caution.

Xu Yunfan was not impatient. He knew that the lifespan of a Golden Core True Monarch was long, and the struggle for Dao was even more protracted.

The fundamental thing is to solidify one's own realm and improve one's strength.

Just as Xu Yunfan was deep in his planning, he naturally and keenly noticed that the enormous aura of the Insightful True Monarch, which had originally resided in Xuan Sha Mountain and was like the Nine Netherworld Xuan Sha that could see through all thoughts, had disappeared without a trace.
