With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 505 - 466: Preparing to Strike, Nine Heavens Thunder Kill, Limit Breaking Turtle Back!
Intention is the ability of a Xingyi Sect Martial Arts Master to manipulate the magnetic field of one’s whole body with the mind, thereby altering reality.
Upon hearing his master’s words, Meng Chuan was thoughtful.
Then he continued to ask:
"Master, if a natural thunder enters the body, and not brought forth by my intention, then it would be ’real’ enough, right?"
"...You brat, be honest, did you hear me!"
"Understood..."
The master’s meaning was to implicitly approve...
Meng Chuan indeed had some thoughts about this.
The Limit-Breaking level [Qi Nourishing Armor-body] has a more solid membrane to protect the internal organs.
Furthermore, the overall enhancement of Brahma’s Tranquility and the Giant Turtle Skill also fortified some of the organs.
"Thunder entering the body... I can withstand it."
Natural forces vary in size, and damage varies in intensity as well.
He wasn’t silly, in the midst of a violent storm, thunder naturally is swift.
When the storm is imminent, why not take the thunder just formed from the lead clouds...
Meng Chuan was ten percent sure he could "swallow" such natural thunder.
To do this, simply waiting for "good weather" wouldn’t intrude on martial arts training time.
He didn’t want to miss the opportunity to enhance his strength.
Snapping back to reality, he listened to his master’s repeated instructions and tips on utilizing thunder attribute Qi, from which Meng Chuan benefited greatly.
When the learning session ended, he realized how time flew, having not heard his master’s teachings for so long.
Once he assimilated all this, Meng Chuan asked about his master’s recent condition.
After digesting the snow lotus, did the Spirit Platform’s resentment improve?
Over the phone, Luo Guanyun laughed and said:
"Much better, hahaha, I’ve been reading Buddhist scriptures lately, using them along with the snow lotus, feeling the resentment decreasing."
Upon hearing this, Meng Chuan felt relieved.
His master’s matters were his matters.
Hearing there’s improvement, he felt a weight lifted off his chest.
Luo Guanyun continued:
"Chuan’er, remember to visit Master Bai Bao when you go to Shaolin in the future, he is the senior brother of the Zen Sect ’Immaculate Divine Monk’, and has resolved a lot for your Master."
"Got it, I will definitely thank this elder monk in person."
"The main thing is for you to learn, though Master Bai Bao is not as famous as the Divine Monk, he is an old Celestial King of the Buddhist Sect. Even a slight benefit from between his fingers can be immensely rewarding for you."
"Understood!"
He knew that his master was doing him a favor, and immediately felt warm inside.
"Also, keep the special war credits for yourself in the future, the Spirit Platform is stable for a while, I can accumulate slowly myself, much faster than you, so don’t worry about it.
And now, let’s discuss our official business. I’ve been closely monitoring the ’Parasite Association’ recently.
This organization seems to have connected with ’Outer Heaven’ lately and is increasingly in contact with the Celestial Demon.
Their sinister methods of enhancing strength are becoming more numerous, I think... we must act quickly."
Meng Chuan understood, his master’s implied meaning was that the Parasite Association was gradually escaping his "control".
To avoid long-term dreams, plans had to be made early.
Meng Chuan said:
"Master, ’Outer Heaven’ connecting with the Parasite Association is not accidental. This demonic path organization, like the Parasite Association, is increasingly contacting the Celestial Demon in Great Chu.
Previously, I completed a national mission where someone from ’Outer Heaven’ possessed a Demon-contaminated Statue; it was an eighteen Arhat..."
On the other end of the phone, Luo Guanyun listened to his apprentice and fell into deep thought, frowning:
"Indeed, it’s time to reel it in... The Celestial Demon interrupting makes it too easy to complicate matters..."
It can still be suppressed now, but if delayed longer, and the leader of the Parasite Association breaks through again, reaching a level to rival a Grandmaster...
It’ll be a mess...
Resentment still not eliminated, rendering it impossible to use the so-called Tao Heart, he was no longer the invincible [Qianyuan Thunder Strike] in this realm.
Simultaneously, Meng Chuan was deep in thought.
On the phone, only a faint buzzing became the main theme.
It involved the fundamental martial arts principles of both master and apprentice.
Every decision had to be made with extreme caution.
One step could lead to vast skies of opportunity or endless calamity!
At this moment, Meng Chuan’s mind was racing.
Even the three small yellow dragons in his mind were stimulated, swimming back and forth in his sea of consciousness, turning into a massive pendulum...
Finally, he looked within at the Qi Blood quantity exceeding five digits.
Meng Chuan calmed down and said in a deep voice:
"Master, why not act when I leave Shaolin in the future."
Luo Guanyun paused for a moment, then asked:
"What are your plans?"
Meng Chuan conveyed his ideas to his master:
"From an overall perspective, Master, you must take action against the Parasite Association after capturing Fang Jianxing.
"I understand."
Luo Guanyun knew that Fang Jianxing carried two incomplete volumes.
This cunning person would immediately realize the plan and purpose if the Parasite Association were destroyed or if there was any overt activity in Japan.
Capturing this bastard afterward would be difficult.
"Fang Jianxing is someone who won’t rest until he achieves his goal, yet he is exceedingly cautious. I’ve recently faced multiple Demon Path assassination attempts, and he must be watching from the shadows, possibly involved.
But in any case, he must be in Great Chu. Because, regarding you, the Martial Arts Grandmaster, he sees no hope of acquiring the ’Primordial Spirit Thunder Planting Skill’, his hope can only be pinned on me.
But why hasn’t he acted? I guess what he’s concerned about might be my hidden trump, the shadow recording stone.
However, he’s aware of my previous usage of it, which should slightly allay his vigilance.
Moreover, what he’s most worried about is that Master you remain unseen, fearing to set a trap. Therefore, Master, you need to make a public appearance in Japan to lure Fang Jianxing out in Great Chu."
Luo Guanyun has always been more confident in Meng Chuan’s strength than anyone else.
But at this moment, he couldn’t help but sweat nervously:
[Are you confident in dealing with Fang Jianxing?]
[If we face off after leaving Shaolin, there’s an eighty percent chance of defeating him.
As for preventing his escape and obtaining the fragments from him, I must choose a suitable burial place for him.]
Meng Chuan’s growth speed even exceeded his own imagination.
With more than ten thousand Qi Blood, if he operates the Tao Heart Demon Seed Divine Skill, his strength is unimaginable.
Being on Wudang Mountain all the time, he hasn’t had the chance to test it, and he’s eager to know how powerful "Starfall" is at this moment...
On the phone, Luo Guanyun laughed:
[So confident?]
Luo Guanyun remembers, a few years ago, Fang Jianxing was able to escape from both him and Long Jiu.
This incident is one of the biggest stains of his life, second only to the "Evil Path Law" advancing to Martial Arts Grandmaster.
But this precisely indicates how difficult Fang Jianxing is to deal with.
After so much time passed, how much his strength has improved is still unknown.
[Hmm, the key is to find a good location that makes escaping difficult, forcing him to fight to the death.
Given Fang Jianxing’s character, he’s sure to carry the fragments with him and won’t entrust them to anyone else.
With the memory stone still in hand, and having two more chances to strike, innately being in an unbeatable position, Master doesn’t need to worry too much about me.]
[Alright then, just follow your plan and notify me when you take action.
Don’t worry about Japan; I have an assured strategy for victory.
Just remember, always be cautious, nothing is more important than your life.]
[Understood.]
Meng Chuan listened to his master speak for a while longer, then finally put down the phone.
The things he just discussed with his master weren’t decisions made impulsively.
Fang Jianxing is too crafty, and his own strength has been improving rapidly.
To obtain martial arts resources, he can’t afford to hide his skills excessively.
Even if Fang Jianxing isn’t secretly monitoring him, the media is constantly reporting on him.
Fang Jianxing is not primitive; he can obviously see it too.
If delayed any longer, Meng Chuan worries Fang Jianxing might completely go into hiding.
It’s not about giving up but acting like the most insidious snake.
Keeping an eye on any sign of weakness and even resorting to old tricks, targeting his friends and family...
Choosing to act after Shaolin instead of Wudang.
Is also to leave a buffer period for himself.
Not to mention, finding a place to be Fang Jianxing’s desperate battleground.
At least, his own speed needs to be improved, otherwise, he definitely can’t hold him down.
Thinking back to what was first discussed with the master...
Drawing lightning into the body, learning the "second phase" method from the old way must be done.
...
Time flows day by day.
Since setting the target of eliminating Fang Jianxing, Meng Chuan has put more effort into martial arts training.
Originally sleeping once every three days, now Meng Chuan has broken through human limits.
Sleeping once every five days, his roommate Wang Ye calls it terrifying!
During this period, he still often goes to the War Soul space to chat with the crazy old sage.
Though he hasn’t won, he can now approach the old sage in eighteen ways, activating the second phase...
Though he can’t beat him, he still gains something.
Not only has Five Thunder Striking reached great success, but he also has glimpsed some of the old sage’s "transformation" methods.
Now just waiting for "drawing lightning into the body" to attempt learning and mastering.
A few days ago, he had someone acquire a [Nine Skies Lightning Slay Talisman] from a place equivalent to United University’s mall at Wudang.
This talisman wasn’t cheap, costing thirty million.
The "legitimate" use of this item is actually as a combat talisman.
When pasted on the opponent in battle, activated with thunder techniques, it can generate explosive damage.
The power is comparable to some powerful True Skill ultimate moves.
Or used to expel possessed Celestial Demons and evil spirits, it’s very effective.
And Meng Chuan’s "evil" usage is to stick it to himself...
Because this item contains the aura of a Daoist Thunder Technique Grandmaster, and can also communicate with the energy of heavenly lightning.
He uses it as a "lightning needle"...
Now just waiting for a stormy day, then pasting the talisman on the chest to summon thunderous lightning...
...
On this day, he stands under the Nine Dragon Waterfall, letting the thousand-pound waves crash against his spine.
Shanzhong precisely adjusts Qi to stimulate acupoints, arms like iron clamps gripping the rock wall, back muscles undulating with the waterfall’s rhythm.
Sometimes taut like steel plates, resisting the torrent, sometimes soft like satin, deflecting the force.
Natural body refinement method, Meng Chuan completes another "back training" session.
A familiar voice comes from the panel:
[Giant Ao Shell Skill: Perfection (96%) → Limit Broken]
[Acquired Limit Break Trait: Turtleback (Low level)]
Four skills practiced together, with one remaining unpracticed.
After more than half an hour of combined training, he settles his breath and checks the effects of Turtleback.
[Turtleback (Low level)]
Effect one: Swimming, the lungs slightly transform, improving swimming ability;
Effect two: Ao Shell, when the back is hit, the passive trigger of invisible armor, deflecting certain piercing and cutting forces and slightly deflecting blunt instrument impact forces.
