With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 517 - 475: Walking the Wire on a Cliff to Comprehend the Nine Palaces, Immortal Tears Forging the Foundation of Black Iron!
This time at Wudang, the gains were immense, just a few months, and Meng Chuan could keep his composure.
Moreover, it’s no different from his daily training at the United University, all about practicing martial arts and cultivation.
He got along very well with everyone, with no barriers other than their different beliefs.
If he could gain another divine skill, joining Wudang would be... cough cough, that’s impossible.
He checked the martial arts resources left in his waist tag and pondered:
"Fortunately, I had the foresight before departure, exchanged my credits for Moistening Vein Spirit Pills, more than enough until the end of the year..."
Introspecting his meridians, the effects of the previous pill had been completely digested, and Meng Chuan took another pill.
Starting today, he needed to nurture the damage to his internal organs caused by the thunder strike from Sect Leader Chen Tuan.
His hard training and fist skills were temporarily paused, but the cultivation of his mental skills was uninterrupted.
He circulated his inner breath, completing several major circulations.
He noticed the phone beside him light up, picked it up, and answered.
On the other end, Xue Na got off a luxury car, grabbed Meng Yongzhi’s phone, and said:
[Chuan, you’ve been on this trip quite a while, when are you coming home? You missed your sister’s engagement this time, don’t miss her wedding next year.]
Meng Yongzhi snatched the phone back, glared at his wife, then smiled and said:
[Chuan, don’t listen to your aunt nagging, your cultivation is the most important, everything else is minor, hahaha.
It’s just... your sister is getting married in June next year, see if you can make time to come back, otherwise, your uncle will do a video call with you, hahaha...]
On this end, Meng Chuan detected his uncle’s hesitation and suddenly felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
He quickly switched to a smile and said:
[Don’t worry, uncle, I will definitely come back then. I need to personally advise my brother-in-law, if he dares to bully my sister, I’ll deal with him.]
Meng Yongzhi laughed even more heartily:
[Hahaha, don’t worry, your sister is just like your aunt, a little tigress... ouch, my ear...]
Xue Na pinched Meng Yongzhi’s ear and snatched the phone:
[Chuan, it’s settled then, remember to come back for your sister’s wedding.
Continue your work; since you were young, your aunt heard people say the Daoist priests at Wudang Mountain have real skills. Learn well, I won’t disturb you anymore.]
Just as Meng Chuan was about to agree, he heard his uncle on the other end again:
[Also, Chuan, stop sending money home, keep it for yourself, the family’s savings are almost eight figures now, hahaha.]
[Understood, if there’s not enough, let me know, and tell me about anything else, I’ll solve it.]
[Chuan, you’ve really grown up, okay, I won’t disturb you anymore, keep it up!]
After hanging up the phone, Meng Chuan smiled and refocused on his cultivation.
Practicing martial arts day and night, wasn’t it all to become stronger so that his family could live better lives?
The former was his initial intent for martial arts.
The latter was his only "human anchor" as the gap between him and ordinary people widened.
Meng Chuan felt that he was still lacking and needed to work harder.
Some people "attained Dao," and even the village dogs could become police dogs...
When martial arts are "poor," you cultivate yourself, and the people around you are his path of guardianship.
Currently, his strength was still shallow, and his goals weren’t set as high as saving all of humanity.
Taking care of the people and things around him, Meng Chuan found enough happiness in the arduous grind of martial arts.
After his cultivation, he introspected his meridians, and his Qi Blood had grown slightly stronger.
Overflowing into his limbs and bones, merging into the celestial stars.
Shifting his gaze upwards, in his mind, the first Baxia mark shone brilliantly.
Meng Chuan was eager to practice Baxia skill, he’d longed for it for a while and wanted to check if it was the core trait after entry.
But he ultimately restrained himself, waiting until his body had fully recovered.
Pushing himself to train might leave permanent damage on his body, outweighing the benefits.
No need to rush.
Since that bloody battle with poison at the factory, awakening the "Nirvana Transformation Rainbow" trait, he hadn’t suffered such severe injuries again.
The injury yesterday had passively activated the "Rainbow Light Radiance Body."
Almost, he might have triggered "Rebirth Nirvana"...
Rebirth Nirvana: When facing lethal damage, near death, or severe bodily harm, it triggers "Nirvana," rebirthing like a Fire Phoenix, reshaping the body’s state, recovering 60% of energy and vitality.
"It can only be triggered once a year, this is the extreme potential of bodily mutation in dire straits."
If possible, Meng Chuan hoped he’d never need to use this ability.
Returning his gaze, he took out the Celestial Tear Gold gifted by Sect Leader Chen from his waist tag.
Lately, his Tao Heart was languid; after finishing his mental skill practice, with nothing better to do, it was perfect timing to personally grind this treasure.
"Polish it a bit every day, then practice the Qi Refining Method, and finally browse the Dao scriptures at the Huangjinge Pavilion, life is still fulfilling..."
...
Days passed by.
A major event occurred recently in Great Chu, where residents from six small towns located at the northern foot of Taihang Mountain, with materials and subsidies, relocated to the big city behind them.
Immediately after, the six towns were designated as a military management zone, with the Defense Army stationed to take over, with no entry for unauthorized personnel.
In response to the curiosity of reporters and netizens, the official response was unified:
[Everyone, don’t be overly worried, it’s a large-scale military exercise.]
As for whether the public believed it or not, that was their own matter...
At the same time, within this, the Demon Path detected something unusual.
Many demon path experts were also secretly coming to the edge of Jin land, looking for opportunities to freeload.
To them, the bigger the storm, the more precious the fish, and taking chestnuts from the fire is the essence of the demon path.
At the peak of Mount Taihang, at the Mountain Whisper Observation Point.
Zhou Yun stood with his hands behind his back, monitoring all potential sudden occurrences.
In recent times, this Celestial Demon must have noticed something abnormal, but unexpectedly, there has been no movement.
His perception was completely isolated by the dense demon mist, and as a Martial Arts Great Saint, he had no idea of the reactions within the Demon Nest. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"The Mountain Whisper might be brewing something..."
In his hands, there were many backhand tricks taken from the Celestial Demon Realm, and with his personal presence, he was guarding against the potential escape and turmoil caused by several demon generals under Mountain Whisper’s command.
Now that the opponent was behaving, he found it quite leisure.
As for the insignificant demon path fish in the dark, Zhou Yun didn’t take them seriously at all.
No matter how the Demon Summoning Hall "sends telegrams" to Mountain Whisper.
Unless Zhao Linyuan breaks through to Eight, the other party has no possibility of breaking through the rules of the human world and escaping the Demon Nest at this time.
No matter how anxious, they can only honestly stay inside, waiting for the judgment of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.
...
Early August, Wudang Mountain.
On this day, on the basalt at the top of Dingzhu Peak.
Meng Chuan walked a tightrope blindfolded on the edge of a cliff, with precarious footing, extremely dangerous.
The Nine Palace Step was unpredictable, and he tried to stabilize his center of gravity, keeping the Nine Palace centered no matter the winds.
[Nine Palace Tai Chi Force: Proficient (99%) → Mastery (1%)]
Meng Chuan retreated from the cliff, and a notification sounded in his mind.
Removing his blindfold, he thought to himself:
"This fist skill has also reached mastery, seems like even without punching, just gaining insight from the footwork within the fist skill can increase proficiency."
This Wudang Tai Chi Fist, aside from tormenting him upon entry, returned to normal cultivation speed afterwards.
In fact, as he became more familiar with Daoist classics,
the cultivation speed, contrary to decreasing, increased as proficiency progressed, becoming faster.
No matter how difficult, it could not escape the realm of ordinary Martial Arts, and with experience, Meng Chuan gradually got the hang of it.
While adjusting his breath, he summoned a dragon demon for inspection.
The scales were dark and shiny, with the horned head raised once more.
The nutrition intake during this period was quite good.
With time and nourishment, his "first fierce general" had regained vitality and vigor.
The dragon demon at this moment was no different from the legendary black dragon, full of majesty.
As for the Tao Heart, Meng Chuan placed the fierce general back inside, introspecting within his sea of consciousness.
The Tao Heart Demonic cultivation method continued without interruption due to injury.
The Tao Heart drew energy from Qi Blood, recovering to its original state.
Currently, it was laboring diligently within his consciousness, refining the last piece of golden Immortal Tear.
Sensing through the surrounding high walls of Profound Iron, the Tao Heart was transforming into a lightning hammer, repeatedly hammering that piece, now thin as paper, of Immortal Tear gold.
Satisfied, Meng Chuan looked at the spiritual foundation that formed the high wall.
With his effort in recent days,
the spiritual barrier that originally had a bronze patina had been dyed into a cool hue of Profound Iron.
The achievement of a Profound Iron Foundation even made Spiritual Power carry a heavy metallic feel.
This indicated that his Spiritual Power had solidified, and he could attempt using it as an offensive means.
"I’ll try later to see what advantages arise by attaching Spiritual Power to the black pearl artifact..."
When the last hammer blow of the Tao Heart fell within the consciousness, the entire treasure shattered into countless grain-sized light spots.
Numerous golden threads spread from the rupture, embedding themselves into the walls of the consciousness like tree roots.
The cool metallic hue of the high wall was speckled with golden light.
On the Profound Iron, it resembled a reflection of stars, much like when he began cultivating the Treasure Appearance Golden Venerable Skill, with Kaluo’s luminescence appearing on his body.
"Once the golden spots connect into sheets, completely enclosing the walls, the next stage of the Profound Iron Foundation, the Amber Foundation, will be complete..."
Meng Chuan sighed, mindful of the long way ahead...
This piece of Immortal Tear gold aiding his advancement was gifted by Master Chen.
From bluish stone to Profound Iron, if the two pieces of Immortal Tear gold were converted into special combat merits, the value would be nearly two thousand.
"Based on this conversion, if I wish to advance to the Amber Foundation, I must prepare at least twenty thousand special combat merits..."
Meng Chuan shook his head; relying solely on special combat merits seems impossible.
Apart from the Martial Arts Treasure Pill that Shen, the general of the Han Sea, mentioned was coming soon, which could enhance the [Spirit],
I’ll probably have to seek opportunities within the Demon Nest later.
Now that the spiritual foundation has achieved Profound Iron,
the spiritual barriers of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top pose no threat to him anymore.
The gift from the Great Brahma, combined with the two treasures,
eventually pushed him from fragile sandy foundations to the current state where his Spiritual Power is condensed as Profound Iron.
"My current spiritual foundation has transcended the ordinary level, yet I mustn’t become complacent; there’s still a gap compared to those spiritual power prodigies, especially against innate masters like my teacher."
Enhancing the spiritual foundation must continue.
In an instant, he summoned the black pearl artifact from his token.
