With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 514 - 472: Preaching for Profit in the Dharma Realm, Wudang Mountain’s Physical Body in Peril!
Beside him, the True Martial Emperor saw that Xuanwu truly placed all his "treasures" on Meng Chuan.
His tone was somewhat complex as he slowly spoke:
"In the future, I hope you will diligently practice the Xuanwu method. The Xuanwu Divine Lord has a great karmic connection with you; you could say you are intertwined in honor."
Upon hearing this, Meng Chuan couldn’t help but think of something.
The incarnation of the Great Brahma Heaven had previously hovered around him with an inexplicable sense of admiration.
Xuanwu disappeared into the starlight, could it also have turned into a similar "silent guardian" like the other?
On a second thought, Meng Chuan dismissed this idea.
It felt a bit like wishful thinking...
He first nodded, and then cautiously asked:
"Do you mean, the Xuanwu Divine Lord... has possessed me?"
The True Martial Emperor was speechless, thinking, you really dare to imagine...
"... You’re not qualified yet. Only when you surpass Senior Bro Zhang, Dao Sovereign in the cultivation of the Immortal Path Sutra, can we talk about it."
Meng Chuan smiled awkwardly, indeed a bit wishful thinking.
He recalled what Uncle Master Zhao had said earlier: this Dao Sovereign had researched this method to the 10th level and entered the proficiency stage.
Currently, he is still tens of thousands of miles away from even starting this divine skill.
To surpass this Dao Sovereign, it’s best to first practice the two preliminary hard skills diligently.
The preliminary Baxia Heaven-Supporting Skill and Xuanwu True Refinement Body are both hidden in the first turtle-shaped imprint, ready to be practiced as soon as he goes out.
Upon entry, if it is indeed his core trait.
Without the True Martial saying so, he would pursue cultivation with all his might.
The second snake imprint, however, was an unexpected surprise.
He heard earlier that the Snake General’s methods mostly involve body techniques and some fist skills.
Being a part of the Xuanwu method, it’s equally formidable martial arts in its level.
Similar to the Ancient Fist Skills in fists, or the Sky-High Arts in body techniques, it should definitely be learned.
Thus, his journey after being struck by lightning had already resulted in incredible gains.
As for the remaining four cardinal methods of True Martial’s core, like Water Management or the Seven Luminaries, Meng Chuan didn’t insist.
As Zhao Huan said earlier, there is no faith link between him and the True Martial Emperor.
Each divine bestowal consumes a large amount of incense fire divine power.
Meng Chuan felt that if he were the True Martial Emperor, he wouldn’t grant more benefits to such a "faithless" person either...
To ask further would be trying to take advantage.
As for learning the remaining four True Martial core methods, there may still be opportunities in the future.
If he could enter once, he can naturally enter a second time...
Coming back to his senses, Meng Chuan prepared a long list of words of gratitude.
Just as he was about to speak, he felt a bit light, with a faint light glowing around him.
"Emperor, I..."
"Noisy!"
...
Atop the Pillar Peak.
Chen Tuan and Cheng Miaochang were discussing the matter of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony while Zhao Shousui was listening intently.
Cheng Miaochang smiled and said:
"Senior brother, you were in seclusion previously and might not know.
Right now on Dragon Tiger Mountain, not only are all Taoist sects present, but even the Buddhist sect and the United University, and the military are also here.
The regulations for the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony are being drafted. Would you like to go, senior brother?"
In matters of such magnitude, Chen Tuan had been representing Wudang for decisions for a hundred years.
"No need, having Ziyu and Senior Zhang there is enough.
Our Wudang has always got one thought, united and firm: attack if needed."
Cheng Miaochang nodded and said:
"I understand. I wonder, how much of the incense divine power was consumed this time for the Grand Ceremony’s divine honor regarding the Great Emperor?
Will we need a large-scale mountain-wide sacrificial festival to replenish the divine honor of the Great Emperor?"
At this moment, it was not far from the ninth day of the ninth month, the day of the True Martial Emperor’s enlightenment and ascension.
It was perfectly suitable to hold a great sacrificial ceremony to gather incense.
Beside them, Zhao Shousui was truly secretly startled hearing their conversation.
He understood it all, pondering in his heart:
"The pinnacle forces from all circles of Great Chu gather at Dragon Tiger Mountain to discuss the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony with the aim to besiege the Whispering Mountains..."
In his memory, the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony had not been held many times.
This is the Taoist sect’s highest-level divine offering ritual.
It is grand in scale and complex in preparation, requiring substantial effort, resources, and finances, hence not held frequently.
The last time it was held was fifty years ago during the centennial celebration of the reconstruction of the Maoshan Shangqing Qianyuan Temple.
Representatives from various circles of the Taoist sect attended and he also attended as an observer with his elders.
Several Taoist Kings, that is Tao Sovereigns, were present as well.
The Grand Ceremony was hosted by a newly minted Dao Sovereign from Maoshan.
But at present, he heard the conversation of the two sect leaders.
The scale of the Grand Ceremony to be held at Taihang Mountain is indeed the greatest in history.
The host is the Celestial Master’s Mansion’s "Ancestor Celestial Master" Zhang Daoling.
The Martial Arts Great Saint, the living fossil of Martial Arts, the longest-lived man in Great Chu today.
Participants will not only come from the Taoist sect but encompass the entire Martial Arts Realm of Great Chu.
Nearly a hundred Martial Arts Celestial Kings from various factions will converge at Taihang to support the Grand Ceremony!
On the other side, after hearing what Junior Brother Cheng said, Chen Tuan gave it some thought.
Before he could speak, he saw that Meng Chuan, lying on the ground, twitched, and kept the words to himself.
"Let’s stop talking, Meng Chuan has awakened."
Zhao Shousui also came back to his senses, nodded, and said:
"Awake, I saw that boy’s eyelids move."
Chen Tuan then took out a green healing pill, this time placing it in Meng Chuan’s mouth without any obstacles.
As soon as Meng Chuan opened his eyes, his tongue instinctively tried to push the pill out.
Zhao Shousui signaled to him:
"I didn’t poison it, take it. You were injured by the Empyrean Thunder internally, this is our Wudang Healing Treasure Pill, specifically for treating internal organs."
Meng Chuan heard the words and looked around, only to find three people leaning over, surrounding him.
Chen Tuan smiled and said:
"Nice to see you again, young friend Meng." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Back during the school anniversary at the Fengtian main headquarters, Chen Tuan was present as a special guest of Sui Chunqiu.
The performance of Meng Chuan during his duel with Motohiko left a deep impression on him.
Especially the Wudang Hard Skills displayed by this young man, the depth of mastery was astonishing.
Meng Chuan also recognized him and was about to greet him with a smile.
The burning pain coming from his body turned the intended smile into a grimace.
He swallowed the pill and began to speak, but saw Chen Tuan waving his hand:
"First refine it, then talk."
Then, he saw the unfamiliar Taoist expert beside him bow and say:
"Young friend Meng, I am Cheng Miaochang from the Taiyi Sect."
Upon hearing this, Meng Chuan showed a grateful expression.
It was largely thanks to this Taoist gentleman that he had been able to roam Wudang freely recently.
"Listen to Senior Brother Chen, refine the pill first, then talk."
Turning back, Cheng Miaochang nodded to Chen Tuan and said:
"Senior Brother, I’ll go first. Recently, I’ve been deputizing for the sect leader, so there’s a lot that has been delayed at Taiyi."
"Go ahead, Junior Brother, and notify the True Man and True Monarch from the various factions to prepare for the meeting."
True Man refers to a Grandmaster of the Four Limits.
True Monarch is the internal Taoist title for the fifth limit venerated ones.
"Understood, leave it to me."
With that, Cheng Miaochang flicked his robe sleeve and disappeared instantly.
Earlier, Meng Chuan listened to the conversation between the two, feeling lost in confusion.
To sum it up, when Grandmaster Chen leaves seclusion, there is going to be a major event.
Combining it with his recent experience in the True Martial Dharma Realm, he becomes more convinced of his previous speculation:
"Wudang Sect intends to attack the Taihang Mountain Whisper!"
Being the most active ultimate darkness in Great Chu, the Demon Summoning Hall’s mastermind behind it, Meng Chuan is well acquainted.
Could it be that the "True Martial Magic Artifact" brought out by Grandmaster Chen is even more powerful than a Martial Arts Great Saint?
Impossible...
To be frank, if not even it can kill me, how could it kill the Mountain Whisper...
If this comparison holds true, rounding it off, I am already stronger than the ultimate darkness...
Chen Tuan, beside him, noticed Meng Chuan’s eyes rolling around, and knew he was daydreaming.
With a wave of his hand, Meng Chuan felt as if the mountains and rivers beneath him were shrinking.
His figure seemed to be supported by an invisible hand, and in an instant, all three returned to Zhao Shousui’s home.
"Shrinking Ground into Inches..."
Meng Chuan understood, as Principal Leopard King had explained this divine power to him.
This is a top-level body technique involving space, breaking physical limitations with a martial body.
To be able to carry people along, Meng Chuan faintly sensed.
He...was just now wrapped in the magnetic field around Grandmaster Chen’s body.
Including Uncle Master Zhao, moving instantly along with him.
"You, kid, why do you love to daydream so much every day, quickly refine the pill and heal properly."
Chen Tuan shook his head, as the other’s thoughts moved, his divine power also had a feedback response.
Meng Chuan immediately stopped thinking, introspecting to feel the medicinal power entering his body, transforming into a stream that nourishes the dry land.
It truly was "dry."
Upon introspection, Meng Chuan was shocked.
His internal organs seemed somewhat shrunk.
Especially at the Spirit Platform in the chest, where the Tao Heart resides.
Here it appeared as if it had just come off the frying pan, burnt and yellow.
Deep in the Spirit Platform, within the Primordial Spirit.
The Tao Heart weakly emerged, conveying to Meng Chuan the reaction that he almost didn’t make it...
"It’s good that everything is okay..."
The Dragon Demon also took several hits, so Meng Chuan looked at the Middle Dantian.
The opponent had turned into a stiff, hard snake, motionless like a black rolling pin.
"I’ll get you some good things to eat later, you’ve worked hard..."
In his waist badge, there were some middle-rank Celestial Demon Cores and True Spirits left over from descending the Demon Nest on a previous journey.
The upper rank ones had long been taken.
Due to the middle-rank level, they could no longer enhance his muscles and bones now.
Therefore they were kept in the waist badge.
At this moment, it’s perfect to use them for the Dragon Demon’s recovery.
The Dragon Demon twitched twice in response.
The invading thunder, the most piercing, was a deep blueish-purple.
The Dragon Demon silently crossed senses with Meng Chuan, giving directions to its master.
"It’s just this one, it struck me the hardest, avenge me roar!"
"..."
The Dragon Demon couldn’t speak, Meng Chuan roughly understood its meaning as being this.
Following the Dragon Demon’s guidance, Meng Chuan noticed that the Wudang Treasure Pill’s medicinal power had begun repairing his body internally.
Except the area near the center line of the chest, located right above the Chest Acupoint.
There is a root that’s about an inch long, like a small sword of turbulent airflow, hovering here.
He tried to probe it with his senses, and instantly, electricity crackled on the surface.
A slightly numbing sensation conveyed through his senses, reaching the brain’s cortex.
If he had hair, it would be all standing on end right now...
"This thing, neither the pill can refine it, nor can the senses expel it, it doesn’t yield to force nor flexibility..."
