With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 515 - 473: Wudang Mountain’s Chen Tuan Bestows Immortal Gold, the Celestial Kings Gather Winds and Clouds at Dragon Tiger Mountain!
Looking at the lightning within him, Meng Chuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
He thought, could he use this as the "anchor point" of thunder that his master had mentioned before.
This would facilitate the subsequent maneuvering of thunder attribute energy, transforming it to stimulate the body, and enhancing oneself.
"This lightning is much more powerful than ordinary natural lightning, otherwise it couldn’t have harmed me so badly..."
If used as an anchor point, the effects might be better.
He withdrew from the state of introspection.
All these attempts must wait until his body has recovered.
He opened his eyes and asked the headmaster Chen Tuan beside him:
"Thank you for the Treasure Pill, senior. I am much better now.
But there remains a lingering aura of lightning in my body that the pill’s power cannot reach, I wonder..."
Meng Chuan wanted to understand its mystery.
Chen Tuan smiled and explained:
"That aura of lightning is the core reason you entered the Dharma Realm of the Emperor.
This entity is a true essence comparable to innate thunder, born from the fusion of Incense Fire Divine Power and natural lightning.
This aura was meant to be retrieved by my Magic Sword, but you absorbed it with a Thunder Talisman..."
Chen Tuan was also at a loss for words at the coincidence...
Re-condensing one consumes quite a bit of energy...
Beside him, Meng Chuan said apologetically:
"...Senior, how can I return it to you."
This item is precious, returning it to Headmaster Chen Tuan seems appropriate.
Upon hearing the term "true essence," Meng Chuan finally understood what resided in his body.
The true essence exists in martial arts as insights of the original cultivation technique.
In artificially carved stone tablets, like the Hezu Cave of the Huashan Sect, there are insights of existing martial truths.
In mountains, rivers, and seas, it is the narration of nature and martial arts.
If one can comprehend and decode the stories carved by time, true essence becomes an empowerment of heaven and earth’s power in every punch and kick.
"Essence" in the fists and kicks needs no further explanation.
It is already the next realm in martial arts combat skill, below only the "True Path of Divine Communication."
According to what was said, the true essence exists in the energy...
What role does it play?
Chen Tuan, hearing Meng Chuan’s words, glanced and said:
"There is no need for you to return it, just focus on recuperating well first.
When your body recovers, come to me and I’ll teach you how to use it."
"Thank you, senior!"
Chen Tuan nodded slightly as if about to speak.
Beside him, Zhao Shousui impatiently asked:
"Nephew, what did the Divine Emperor impart to you?"
Hearing this, he looked at Meng Chuan with curiosity.
He had long wanted to ask, but maintaining the dignity of a Daoist Lord, he held it back...
Facing their gazes, Meng Chuan said:
"The Great Emperor saw my extraordinary bones and directly stored an entire set of Black Tortoise Series in a Dharma Seal and passed it on to me.
Then also the "Profound Heaven True Martial Vanquishing Demon Mystical Classic" was imparted, stating that the Vanquishing Demon Divine Skill and the series of methods preceding it should be learned from the Wudang seniors."
Hearing Meng Chuan’s words, the two exchanged glances, both showing expressions of surprise.
The Black Tortoise Method was within their expectations.
The Divine Emperor was right; Meng Chuan’s trained bones... were indeed extraordinary...
But they did not expect that even the Vanquishing Demon Divine Skill was imparted to Meng Chuan, which was indeed unexpected.
Without a faith link, imparting the method required consuming a large amount of incense fire, and they originally didn’t expect Meng Chuan to acquire the method.
Upon this thought, Chen Tuan remembered his junior brother Cheng Miaochang’s suggestion of holding a temple fair to raise incense fire:
"It seems that on September 9, a fasting ceremony with a temple fair must be held..."
It’s not that the incense of the Divine Emperor was exhausted by my Magic Sword and the imparting to Meng Chuan.
Rather, it’s to be prepared for any eventuality, ensuring the Divine Emperor remains in peak condition to counter the lurking Celestial Demons.
Thoughts shifted past, seeing Meng Chuan’s expectant gaze on him, and Chen Tuan knew what "mischief" he was thinking of...
"Did the Divine Emperor leave the True Martial Dharma Seal in your soul sea?"
"Left it, along with three Black Tortoise Seals, making four in total."
"...Understood."
Chen Tuan grew even more wary.
It seems the Great Black Tortoise is already nurturing this young man to the level of his successor.
Of those with such honor, within Wudang, including Xu Daozong.
Only his junior brother, the headteacher of the Songxi Sect, Zhang Jingshi!
What surprised him the most was that Meng Chuan, like his junior brother Jingshi, was endowed with the Vanquishing Demon Divine Power, along with the complete set of Black Tortoise methods...
The key is, Meng Chuan is still an outsider, and the needed incense fire power is even greater.
The Divine Emperor’s ability to grant these is tantamount to favoring Meng Chuan and being willing to "invest."
Recollecting his friend Principal Sui’s evaluation of this student really seems true...
But what Chen Tuan did not expect was that the True Martial Dharma Seal was demanded by Meng Chuan...
Upon this thought, Chen Tuan said:
"The Vanquishing Demon Divine Power should naturally be taught by Daoist Lord Zhang Jingshi, most suitable for you. But since he is not at Wudang, I will pass it on to you.
The Emperor’s Vanquishing Demon Method starts at the True Skill Level. These kinds of divine powers, I only know one core method of True Skill and a True Skill Fist, and will teach them to you once you have recovered."
"Thank you, senior. I should first learn these; biting off more than you can chew."
Meng Chuan, for now, should focus on the martial arts he excels in.
The True Martial methods can only serve as supplemental practice.
This child’s character is good, not greedy, which Chen Tuan found quite satisfactory.
He nodded and said:
"Good! First, take care of your recovery. Pause your martial cultivation for a while, continue only after fully healed to avoid affecting your physical foundation.
Regarding the recent times... you can start by refining this item, consider it my apology gift to you..."
Although Meng Chuan "brought this upon himself," in the end, he got hurt.
Chen Tuan waved his hand and handed a crystalline object to Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan initially wanted to refuse, since the other party was not at fault, and the thunder was drawn in by himself...
Yet upon seeing this object, he couldn’t bring himself to say the words of refusal...
A piece of Immortal Tears Gold, only slightly smaller than the one he obtained earlier, landed in his palm.
"Thank you, senior..."
Expressing his gratitude, Meng Chuan didn’t know what else to say as he accepted it.
This is the gesture of Wudang’s spokesperson, the Martial Arts Celestial King, so generous!
It seems his spiritual foundation will steadily be upgraded to a Profound Iron Foundation.
Coming to his senses, he saw Chen Tuan waving goodbye as he left.
Meng Chuan could walk again and bid farewell to Uncle Master Zhao before heading back to recuperate.
The internal organs were injured; aside from the effect of Wudang’s pills, they must also rely on nurturing from internal breaths.
He still has some Cloud Water Pill, coupled with his robust physique, he should recover in no time.
For a martial arts master with ordinary internal organs and no anomalies, it would take one to two years to recover.
But for Meng Chuan, he estimates it won’t even take a month...
Coming to his senses, Uncle Master Zhao escorted him to the door, saying helplessly:
"Nephew, don’t engage in such dangerous activities in the future, is that how to use a Thunder Talisman?"
Meng Chuan’s behavior was similar to putting himself in a cooking pot...
"I understand..."
...
Meanwhile, far away at Dragon Tiger Mountain in Xiangxi.
Xuantan Temple.
This is the site of Meng Chuan’s old friend Luo Qin, under his mentor Purple Sun True Monarch’s venue.
In the adjacent Shouzheng Hall, Luo Qin slowly opened his eyes.
Introspecting internally, he’s just one step away from his second major limit.
Coming to his senses, he suddenly sensed dozens of figures flying up the mountain, the wind whistling loudly.
They flew directly over Xuantan Temple without stopping.
Seeing this scene, he was extremely astonished.
This is the true monarch’s venue, his master’s place, such behavior is truly audacious.
He walked out of the side hall, intending to tell his master about this.
However, he saw his master, Purple Sun True Monarch, a venerable of the fifth major limit, was bowing outside:
"Welcome each Daoist Celestial King, gracing Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion!"
Someone halted, nodded at Purple Sun and said:
"Little Purple Sun, when did you break through to True Monarch? Not bad. Where’s your Celestial Master? I have some business with him."
"Daoist Master Zhang, long time no see..."
Luo Qin saw his master with a bitter smile, cupping his hands in respect together.
All are Martial Arts Celestial Kings... it’s making him somewhat nervous about what major event might happen at Celestial Master Mansion...
"This is your disciple, right? Good talent, but compared to my direct disciple Zhao Huanzhen, still lacking somewhat. My disciple is a True Martial talent invincible within the same realm!"
Purple Sun just cupped his hands with a bitter smile, thinking internally:
This Wudang Songxi Sect’s teaching master Zhang Jingshi, still as foul-mouthed as ever...
"Junior brother, let’s go."
Beside him, the Sanfeng Sect’s teaching master Zhang Ziyu reminded him.
Zhang Jingshi laughed:
"Hahaha, Purple Sun, I’m leaving now, catch up later."
"...Daoist Master, please have a safe journey."
Luo Qin watched Zhang Jingshi’s departing figure with some resentment, but could do nothing.
Zhao Huanzhen indeed advanced to the second limit earlier, this is an undeniable fact...
"Does he really think his disciple is invincible, he hasn’t met that monster yet..."
After seeing them off, Luo Qin and his master returned to the hall.
Looking at his increasingly robust muscles, already showing some might of "Lao Meng True Body."
He delayed his fist skill practice for Hard Skills cultivation, causing his Qi Blood progression to be slow.
But all of this is worthwhile.
These muscles provide him an unprecedented sense of security...
The Purple Sun True Monarch, after sending off the two Daoist Masters of Wudang, looked at his disciple who has drastically changed compared to a year ago.
He said helplessly:
"Disciple, why abandon magic swordsmanship for crude force training?"
"Master, your disciple believes in combining internal and external training as the true path of prosperity."
"... alright, practice well then. I’ve bought you a Tiger Saliva Date, this can enhance your innate essence and will arrive soon."
Purple Sun shook his head, saying no more.
This year’s Celestial Pivot leader, his excellent disciple, thoroughly led astray by that little rascal from Northern United University...
...
Within Dragon Tiger Mountain, a treasured land known as [Crane Cry Valley].
The entrance of the valley is guarded by several imposing Daoists, others are barred.
Inside the valley, dozens of figures congregate here, each with an extraordinary aura.
Some appear carefree, standing or lying casually in the valley, exuding an aura akin to celestial immortals or Buddhas.
Some are robust in stature, feeling the life magnetic field’s aura, as if gods and demons are among them.
Monks and Daoists stand together, and there are also many "non-believers," all gathered due to the event at Taihang Shrine.
These are all Martial Arts Celestial Kings from various factions, familiar ones chat in small groups.
Here, the Taoist circle has the largest number, chatting together:
"This meeting will decisively establish the procedures for the Luo Tian Grand Ritual."
"It’s said that the Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger has presented his respects to the Three Pure Ones, hence the summons for us to come up from the city for a discussion."
