Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 677 It Still Has to Be You
"Junior Brother Xu!"

Her voice was no longer as languid and alluring as before; it carried a hint of solemnity.

Xu Yunfan remained calm, feigning ignorance, and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Senior Sister Dongming."

"Those three natives of the Attila Realm are simply, utterly shameless!"

Xu Yunfan asked with slight surprise, "Senior sister has already gone to Attila. What did she gain?"

Upon hearing Xu Yunfan ask what she had gained, she recalled her encounter in Attila, her chest heaving, clearly furious.

"The Lord of Light retreats into his divine kingdom, which, with the blessing of the vows of hundreds of millions of believers, is as strong as a tortoise shell."

The Dark God hides in the shadows, resorting to all sorts of sneak attacks and ambushes. The most hateful one is the Nature God, who can transform into countless forms and blend into the mountains, rivers, and plants. He is impossible to kill or shake off, making him extremely troublesome, especially since the opponent is fighting on home soil.

"I used every means at my disposal, destroying three of their natural divine kingdoms and severely damaging the Dark God's origin, but I also fell into a trap. My Dao foundation was corrupted by the divine power of nature, and the combined forces of the three triggered a backlash from the origin of my realm, forcing me to retreat."

She grew angrier as she spoke, her slender hands gripping the armrests of the throne tightly, her knuckles turning white.

"If it weren't for my Nine Nether Profound Fiend Dao Fruit's ability to perceive and evade, allowing me to escape in time, I would probably have perished in that desolate land!"

Xu Yunfan remained calm upon hearing this. Although the Aitila Great Realm was not as high in status as the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm, it could still produce three Dao Fruits. If a True Monarch at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm went there and was discovered by the Heavenly Dao, then that would be a case of "a hero who has gone far away is no longer free".

She looked up, her gaze fixed intently on Xu Yunfan.

“Junior Brother Xu, you are now a core disciple of my Yuanshi Sect and have received the Dao Lord’s favor. We are all family. Since we are family, let’s not be formal. You have personally experienced this realm and must know the key to it. Can you help me? I need your help to break through this predicament!”

Xu Yunfan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm. His purple-gold Taoist robe shimmered faintly in the dim hall, standing out against the surrounding gloom.

He didn't reply, but just looked at Dongming Zhenjun quietly, a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Senior Sister, you are wise. I have only just entered the Golden Core Realm. Although I have attained the True Monarch Realm, my foundation is not very solid. Moreover, I have to figure out the path ahead and practice my own new methods. I really can't spare the time!"

Seeing that he was unmoved by reason, Dongming Zhenjun cursed inwardly, "As expected, the people of the Yuanshi Sect are all the same."

Don't even think about motivating others if you don't offer them the benefits.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her surging blood, and softened her voice, which carried an unprecedented frankness and allure.

"Senior sister knows your intentions. Members of the Yuanshi Sect don't get up early without profit. Name your terms!"

Xu Yunfan still looked troubled.

"Senior sister, I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of others' misfortunes. You've misjudged me."

Upon hearing this, Dongming Zhenjun felt even angrier. He paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "I can transfer all my cultivation insights and breakthroughs from the initial to the middle stages of the Golden Core realm to you."

Without reservation! This is the foundation of the path, and you should understand its immense value!

Seeing that Xu Yunfan was still rambling on and on, she parted her red lips slightly.

"If you agree, your senior sister can practice the Yin-Yang dual cultivation method with you. My Nine Nether Profound Fiend is extremely Yin and cold, while your Divine Firmament Thunder is extremely strong and Yang. The harmony of Yin and Yang is the supreme Dao."

It will greatly benefit both of us in stabilizing our Golden Elixir and comprehending the Yin-Yang cycle!

This is the essence of my Daoist body's primordial Yin, the culmination of ten thousand years of cultivation!

An unusual blush rose on her cheeks, whether from shame and anger or from her injuries, it was hard to tell.

Xu Yunfan's eyelid twitched almost imperceptibly.

"Didn't my senior sister and I exchange cultivation techniques last time? How come she still has primordial yin?"

Dongming Zhenjun chuckled: "The cultivation is one thing, but the primordial yin hasn't emerged yet."

There was such a claim, and Xu Yunfan was immediately intrigued. If he could obtain the primordial yin of a veteran Golden Core True Monarch, his cultivation would definitely increase dramatically. Seeing Xu Yunfan waver, True Monarch Dongming pressed his advantage.

"Not only that, the three main gods of the Attila Realm all possess Dao Fruits, especially the Eternal Night Fall Dao Fruit of the Dark God, which is perfectly compatible with the Nine Nether Profound Fiend Dao I cultivate."

If I can seize and refine it, I am 30% confident that I can break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

The Great Immeasurable Light Dao Fruit of the Lord of Light and the Dao Fruit of the Life and Growth of All Things of the Lord of Nature are also excellent resources for the Yin-Yang harmony of your Divine Firmament Dao Fruit and the evolution of your Grotto Heaven!
"Then, let's join forces and each take one, how about it?"

She stared intently at Xu Yunfan.

“Junior Brother Xu, I am so sincere. The Atila Realm is an unclaimed realm with abundant resources. This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.”

"If we miss this opportunity, and once the three main gods recover their strength or attract the attention of other True Lords, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven to plot against them again."

Xu Yunfan was genuinely tempted, but he still had to go through the necessary procedures. A mixture of excitement and hesitation appeared on his face.

The main hall fell silent, with only the slightly rapid breathing of the True Lord of Enlightenment.

The Nine Netherworld Mist surged uneasily around her, revealing her inner anxiety.

After a moment of silence, Xu Yunfan's usually placid face finally broke into a genuine and radiant smile.

It was as if the ice had thawed and spring had returned to the earth.

"Senior Sister Dongming,"

His voice was clear and bright, with just the right amount of enthusiasm.

"You should have said so earlier. We are fellow disciples, and it is our duty to help each other. Senior Sister is so kind, imparting knowledge and skills, and... cough, going all out to help you. She is even willing to share the opportunity to obtain the Dao Fruit. If I, Xu, were to refuse again, wouldn't I be ungrateful?"

He took a step forward and bowed.

"I do know a little about the Realm of Attila. The foundations of the three main gods, the weaknesses of their divine kingdoms, and even the flaws in their combined attack are all in my mind. Moreover, I have an inside agent within Attila who should be able to set some traps. When does Senior Sister intend to set off? Junior Brother is willing to serve you!"

When Dongming Zhenjun saw the incredibly sincere smile on his face, his eye twitched violently, and he cursed inwardly.

"You little rascal! You won't act until you see the benefit!"

But he looked relieved and forced a smile, saying, "Good! Good! Junior Brother Xu is indeed straightforward! Let's not delay any longer. Let me rest for a while, and in three days, we will enter Attila again!"

Seeing that Xu Yunfan did not answer and adopted a "I'm waiting" attitude, Dongming Zhenjun did not delay.

She raised her hand and tossed out a jet-black jade slip, its interior shimmering with a faint light.

"This is my insight into Golden Core cultivation, the true path of cultivation. Junior Brother Xu may take a look first. As for dual cultivation..."

Her eyes flickered, carrying a hint of something indescribable.

"It won't be too late for me to resume my contemplation in three days."

Xu Yunfan took the jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, and confirmed that the contents were vast and profound, undoubtedly the insights of a True Monarch. His smile widened.

"Senior Sister is absolutely right! Junior Brother will return to the mountain to prepare now, and will await Senior Sister's arrival in three days!"

A flash of purple-gold lightning, and Xu Yunfan's figure disappeared from the main hall.

As Dongming Zhenjun watched the direction he disappeared in, the forced smile on his face vanished instantly, replaced by deep exhaustion and a trace of heartache.

"This kid has a huge appetite!"

She muttered to herself, touching a deep, bone-revealing wound on her chest, entwined with the phantom of emerald vines, her eyes flashing with cold light.
