Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 701 My words are as good as nails.
Using this treasure as a guarantee, I can conceal your life force and simulate the image of a true spirit returning to the abyss, which may allow me to bypass the laws of the sea of ​​suffering and open a path for you.

"At that time, you will bring the treasure inside and search for the traces of the Taiyin Mingqiu Dao Fruit for me."

Upon hearing this, Wukong's illusory body trembled violently once more, and an unbelievable light, mixed with utter absurdity, burst forth from his golden eyes...

Just as she was about to speak, she met Xu Yunfan's unwavering gaze.

A barely perceptible flutter in his heart.

Calm down quickly.

Ultimately, one is merely an extension of another, with life and death beyond one's control, so what right do one have to speak of conditions?

"magic weapon?"

Wukong's mind was filled with doubt and mockery.

"What kind of magical artifact can withstand the soul-corroding yin wind and dissolve the mysterious light?"

"You think you can fool those damned laws of the Underworld? Xu Yunfan, are you trying to fool me like a three-year-old?! I think you want to completely bury my last bit of true spirit in that hellhole!"

Xu Yunfan's expression remained unchanged in the face of Wukong's questioning.

He slowly raised his hand, palm facing upward, and a wisp of pure Eight Scenery Cloud Qi rose up, possessing the blazing heat of Li Fire, the gentleness of Kan Water, the violence of Zhen Thunder, and the thickness of Kun Earth...

The eight phases flow and revolve, endlessly regenerating.

“Ordinary magic weapons will not suffice, and you were formed from the split of my soul. It is extremely difficult for a wisp of true spirit to be born, so I will not let you perish easily.”

Xu Yunfan's voice was steady and powerful.

"With the perfected state of my Xuandu Eight Scenery Refining Heaven Creation Cloud Book, supplemented by the ability to deduce all laws from the attribute panel, and taking the Reincarnation Stone, Soul Nourishing Wood, Soul Stabilizing Pearl, and the wisp of indestructible golden nature remaining in your innate stone embryo as the core, it should be possible to refine a Soul Protecting Mystic Mirror."

Whether it succeeds or not is another matter, but at least we need to create an atmosphere of confidence and assurance.

Otherwise, if you yourself are insecure, how can you expect others to do things?

Although he could force Wukong to go, being proactive and being passive are ultimately two different senses.

Some people in the Yuanshi Sect prefer to be passive, but Xu Yunfan is different; once the other party resists, he becomes somewhat disinterested.

After all, if one resists, many actions and tasks cannot be accomplished.

With a slight twitch of his fingertips, several spiritual materials emanating strange fluctuations flew out automatically from the pile of materials and hovered above his palm: a pitch-black strange stone covered with mysterious reincarnation patterns, a section of gray-white wood heart that flowed with warm vitality, a dark blue bead that seemed to have a nebula vortex swirling inside, and finally a faint but extremely tough dark gold ray of light originating from Wukong's true form.

"This mirror is encased in a Reincarnation Stone, with engraved patterns of the Bitter Sea Returning to the Void, confusing the senses of heaven. Inside, it is inlaid with a Soul-Nourishing Wood Heart to firmly guard the true spirit's origin and prevent it from dissipating. The Soul-Stabilizing Pearl is located in the center to harmonize and stabilize the spiritual form, resisting the erosion of the turbulent currents of the underworld."

And your innate, indestructible metal nature..."

Xu Yunfan's gaze fell on that dark golden glint.

"This is the true core pass to this treasure. It originates from the creation of heaven and earth and contains a trace of the original imprint of this world. Logically speaking, entering and leaving the Azure Netherworld should be no more than a trivial matter."

Using this as a core principle, it might be possible to minimize the repulsion of foreign objects by the Underworld.

Xu Yunfan's ideas were bold and meticulous, bringing the intricacies of weapon crafting and his understanding of cause and effect to their fullest extent.

As for reincarnation, he doesn't practice the reincarnation method, but through analogy, he has managed to study it to some extent over the years.

Now is the time to use Wukong as an experiment.

As Wukong Zhenling listened, seeing that Xu Yunfan spoke logically and persuasively, the doubt in his eyes did not completely disappear, but the sense of absurdity lessened, replaced by a solemnity.

After a pause, Xu Yunfan said, "How about I set you free after you finish this task?"

Upon hearing this, Wukong was immediately put off, and his resistance weakened considerably.

"really?"

Xu Yunfan smiled slightly: "You can ask around outside. I have never broken my word or done anything wrong."

"Humph!"

Wukong's true spirit snorted coldly, his mental fluctuations still strong, but he no longer vehemently refuted. "Easier said than done. Even if you succeed, the depths of the Bitter Sea are fraught with danger. The legendary Bitter Sea Dragon is ferocious and monstrous, and it is born alongside the Dao Fruit you seek."

"With my current meager spiritual power, even with magical treasures protecting me, wouldn't going in be suicide?"

"Therefore, you need to act cautiously, rely on your magic weapons to conceal your whereabouts, focus on reconnaissance, and never engage in direct confrontation unless absolutely necessary."

Xu Yunfan continued, "Your fighting instincts and sense of danger are key to this trip. Besides..."

He looked intently at Wukong and continued to increase the stakes.

"Once I succeed and find the traces of the Dao Fruit, I will personally come to guide you."

"At that time, it will be no exaggeration to say that we will reshape your innate Dao body and allow you to continue your Dao path."

Reconstruct the Dao body, and continue the Dao path!
These eight words struck the depths of Wukong's soul like a heavy hammer.

The frustration and despair of self-destructing one's golden core, destroying one's physical body, and having one's true spirit remain within the banner seemed to have been torn open at this moment.

I can still find the Great Dao!

Despite still harboring resentment towards Xu Yunfan, the allure of this promise was simply too great for a former innate being and a fighting king.

Wukong's true spirit fell silent, its illusory golden eyes fixed on Xu Yunfan, as if trying to see through his appearance and discern the true intentions behind his words.

To verify whether what he said is true or false.

But Xu Yunfan is a True Lord, and Wukong cannot understand or comprehend what he says.

The hall fell silent for a moment, with only the lingering spiritual energy of the Eight Views Clouds slowly flowing in the air.

After a long while, Wukong's spiritual will, imbued with the quality of molten gold, resounded once more, filled with complexity and determination.

"Alright! I, Old Sun, will believe you one more time! But Xu Yunfan, remember this: if this is another scam, even if my soul is scattered and my spirit is forever lost, I will fight you to the death!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunfan secretly pursed his lips, but his face remained expressionless; he simply nodded slightly.

"can."

The agreement was reached, but the invisible pressure only intensified.

Xu Yunfan said no more, and with a flick of his sleeve, Wukong's true spirit fell into his newly cultivated Dharma body.

The Dharma Body slowly opened its eyes, revealing an unruly and defiant gaze.

The clone Wukong looked at Xu Yunfan with a complex expression in his eyes. Having gone through the process of proving his path and attaining the status of the Fighting King Buddha, how could Wukong not know his own level of attainment?

Although he has lost his position, his true spirit remains immortal, and the immortal golden nature that protects him has not dissipated, allowing him to feel that his life is not in his own hands.

For now, we can only trust Xu Yunfan's words.

Their gazes shifted to the mountain of spiritual materials and the newly formed Cloud Book avatar. Next, it was time to refine the crucial protective magic treasure that would determine the success or failure of their journey through the Sea of ​​Reincarnation: the Soul-Protecting Mysterious Mirror.

The eight scenic clouds surrounding Yunji's body surged once more, connecting with the original body's will, and would serve as the primary means of controlling fire and refining weapons.
-
Three months later, inside the Shenxiao Palace.

The Eight Views Clouds, like living things, entwined around the Soul-Protecting Mysterious Mirror suspended in mid-air.

This mirror is shaped like an ancient bronze mirror. The frame is inlaid with the Daoist patterns of the Reincarnation Stone. The back of the mirror is made of Soul-Nourishing Wood. The Soul-Stabilizing Bead flows with a dark blue star vortex at the mirror knob, and a dark gold glimmer appears and disappears at the core.

It was the pass that Wukong obtained by condensing his innate, indestructible golden nature.

The cloud scroll transformed into a series of hand gestures, and the Xun wind and cloud energy meticulously sculpted the final rune, while the Zhen thunder and cloud energy suddenly poured in and activated it.

"It's done."

Xu Yunfan rolled up his sleeve, and the Soul-Protecting Mirror fell into his palm.

The mirror reflected Wukong's monkey face.
