With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 532 - 487: Power to Alter Heaven and Earth! Man Is More Than a Mere Seven-Foot Body!
That’s why it seems somewhat sinister, looking awe-inspiring.
It’s because it lacks the fullness that abundant blood provides.
Upon witnessing this, Meng Chuan realized in his heart:
"Once all the flesh and blood Bone Flowers are collected, I can completely construct the prototype of the previously envisioned ’Body Concert Hall’.
No... the three are respectively the structure of the concert hall’s construction. To truly build it, a ’connecting material’ is needed..."
It’s like when building a brick house, cement is needed for the walls, and adhesive is needed for the wooden beams.
The closer one gets to this body form, the more challenges arise.
Thinking it over, Meng Chuan decided not to get stuck in a rut for now.
These matters can be considered after the creation of the blood Hard Skills.
He then attempted to see what the Bone Flower could manifest individually.
With a thought, the thorny bone lotus on his chest emitted a cold light but did not "bloom".
It seemed as if countless intricate gears began to engage and operate, the spine protruded section by section to form serrated bone armor, and the finger joints burst out into arc-shaped bone blades.
When he tentatively swung his fist, the arm bones rapidly divided and reorganized under the skin.
The moment the fist touched the rock wall, the ulna and radius of the forearm suddenly twisted together into a drill, churning a pit several meters deep into the rock.
This was when the ’Condensation’ effect of the Bone Flower was fully demonstrated.
He experimented for a long time, wantonly using bones as weapons for destruction, violently colliding with bone armor to endure damage, and indeed, there was no wear and tear.
At this moment, under the sunlight, it still exudes a cold texture.
Meng Chuan shook his head, not satisfied:
"But externalizing bones for attack is not suitable for me.
Let’s not even mention the greater destructive power of ’Moon at Bridge of Helplessness’; although the bone blades won’t wear down, if they collide fiercely with extremely hard material, they would break. Re-nurturing them then becomes difficult..."
He has too many attack methods now, no need for bones to offer much support.
Except for the ’Jade Bone View’ boosting Hard Skills cultivation, which is very useful.
After experimentation, the other two functions seem somewhat redundant.
This is because the Intermediate trait doesn’t enhance him greatly anymore.
Far from the intense improvements when breaking the Limit Flower.
Retracting all transformations, he then thought:
"But if two traits are used together, the situation should improve..."
With this thought, Meng Chuan moved his neck, producing a creaking sound.
His shadow on the ground expanded increasingly.
Countless twisted auras seeped from pores, wrapping around his body and climbing higher.
The once agile figure again became muscled and knotted.
His body grew increasingly larger, height exceeding ten meters, not stopping.
"The ultimate degree of liberation is supported by the resilience of the body.
Bones are the internal support structure of the body, resilience is included in the structure, this is another advantage of bone flower Limit Breaking,"
The cracking sound of bones within the body became clearer, supporting the continued ascent of the form.
Until he was eye-level with the waterfall...
"Bone Flowers also enhance body endurance, my current ultimate liberation level is..."
On the display panel, in the trait section:
[Meat Flower (Intermediate)]
...
Effect 2: Liberation, releases physical intensity, enhances bodily strength, the marking of flower stamens on the chest shatters. It improves with the body’s endurance capacity. (Current liberation limit: 350→420%)
Meng Chuan’s form at this moment was nearly 20 meters tall, quite exaggerated...
Chest petal fully stretched out, liberated energy flowed through limbs and bones.
He vaguely sensed he was about to reach the limit of the liberated state.
After all, it’s the effect of Intermediate traits, there is an upper limit.
Meng Chuan estimated his physical resilience might increase a bit more.
The utmost [Liberation: 500%] is the current limit of meat flower traits.
As it’s not a core trait, it can’t continue increasing.
If reaching 500% and wanting to break through further, he would have to find another method.
However... at this moment, he was already strong enough!
A mighty and unparalleled terrifying aura soared, condensing into rolling black clouds over the waterfall.
Meng Chuan leaped, his form instantly exploding and disappearing from the spot.
To avoid damaging the Wudang scenery, a heavy punch had to aim for the pond water, falling through the air.
A casual punch, the air twisted and whined.
Like a tornado, immense Power instantly appeared, heavily splashing the pond water with an explosion, completely clearing it, exposing the cracked pond bottom.
"This is the power under the support of a 15,000 Qi blood level at 420% of the final liberation force..."
Even he was shocked by himself upon seeing this scene.
If gathering momentum and intention to punch.
Afraid the entire pond bottom could suddenly sink...
Jiulong Pond, nearly a hundred feet round.
A full-force strike in the ultimate liberation form already carried the initial might of ’changing heaven and earth’.
Yet, all this wasn’t over.
The Bone Flower’s intrinsic support for the current state was yet to appear.
As he willed, the bone petals on the chest fully in bloom flashed intensely!
The pale white bone substance spread from the chest like a living being, instantly covering the entire body.
The back protruded section by section, spawning fierce bone spikes, scapulae extended into pale wing-like armor, folding down for a secondary protection of the chest.
He further activated the "Ferocious" at his waist, black mist whirled and condensed.
Barbed plates attached to the "exoskeleton," providing dual protection.
Mengchuan moved his limbs, and from the armor cracks between the lava patterns, a layer of solid shield framework inside could be vaguely seen.
Ferocity, bone armor, muscle, earth vein energy, various external hard skill treasures adorning the body!
At this level, my defense is invincible at the second limit.
The third limit or the titled Celestial Demon... only by testing can I know!
At this moment, the 20-meter-tall "Armor Giant" fully formed.
Beneath the face armor, Mengchuan showed a satisfied look and then pondered:
"The third grade armor also has its limits; if I grow taller, the face armor or shin armor might not fully condense."
The fourth-grade armor is too expensive; with that money, Mengchuan might as well get something conducive to cultivation.
On one hand, hope lies in Principal Sui’s words, transforming the true spirit of [Ferocious]-type Celestial Demons for recasting enhancement.
On the other hand, next year’s "Dawn Martial Art," might offer a chance to acquire something better.
Now, he is full of confidence regarding Global-level competitions as mentioned by Lu Ang.
The appearance of bone armor greatly enhanced not only his liberated form’s strength but also its defense.
Moreover, there’s time before the competition to improve his power.
Of course, the most important thing is to elevate the Qi Blood.
By then, even if I haven’t broken three, maybe I can face someone with a hundred thousand Qi Blood.
Mengchuan doesn’t believe it; by the dawn martial art, who can beat him?
Of course, unless they assign a Martial Arts Grandmaster above Master...
And the strength of foreign friends is also unknown; perhaps some national first genius poses a threat.
Never underestimate the heroes in the world; must keep striving!
Coming back to his senses, he realized he’d made quite a commotion.
So he retracted all transformations into his body and continued practicing boxing.
He pondered all of this alone, getting closer and closer to the gap from Master Dong...
...
That night, the moon was bright and the stars sparse.
At Zhao Shousui’s home.
Drinking every day, he couldn’t take any more.
Mengchuan offered hot tea to his senior uncle, Zhao Shousui smiled with satisfaction.
"Nephew, how’s your training in Spiritual Power going, any issues?"
He smiled and said:
"Senior Uncle, I have no issues with Spiritual Power today, I want to ask you a question. I’ve been reading Taoist scriptures, but I don’t quite understand this part."
"Say it freely; my study of Taoist scripture is among the top within the Wudang Grandmasters, feel free to ask."
Zhao Shousui was quite confident about it; he was of pure heritage, having grown up with True Martial... Taoist scriptures...
Mengchuan pondered and said:
"In ’Yellow Court Inner View Transformation,’ it is stated: As humans are born, soul and spirit are two words. First becomes essence, bone serves as stem, supporting the body structure, like the foundation of mountains and rivers, determining the shape of the earth...
Blood, transformed from the essence of grains, is innate essence condensed inside, the root of hidden spirit... nurturing the Qi mechanism, maintaining the life fire to not extinguish.
Flesh serves as walls, receiving postnatal essence, nurturing innate foundation, storing essence and nurturing Qi, serving as a place for vitality sustenance, and...
Ten minutes passed after listening to Mengchuan "recite the entire text," Zhao Shousui was immensely surprised.
"No, kid, you love studying Taoist scripture so much, why not stay at my Wudang Mountain?"
Upon hearing this, Mengchuan couldn’t help but smile awkwardly.
He doesn’t love studying, but wants to learn the internal principles to enrich Martial Arts.
Qi Nourishing Armor, Cyan Netherworld Dragon Lock, and even the Blood and Flesh cultivation technique he is about to create.
The three can certainly "integrate," constructing a flesh performance hall.
This study is to prepare ahead before leaving Wudang.
Both the aspects of bone and flesh originate from Wudang, the creation of Blood and Flesh cultivation technique also relies on Wudang’s hard skill principles.
Thus, he wished to search for "connecting materials" in the Taoist scriptures for building the performance hall process.
Tomorrow, Master Chen will return; after learning two Demon-Slaying Divine Powers, he’ll prepare to leave Wudang.
The date to descend the mountain is not far.
Now he’s discovered beneficial documents in the Taoist scriptures aiding the integration of the three techniques, naturally he wants to learn.
Simultaneously, Zhao Shousui next to him said:
"Nephew, specifically, what part do you want me to interpret?
This ’Yellow Court Inner View Transformation’ scripture spans nearly ten thousand words; if I explain it word by word, even three days and nights wouldn’t suffice."
He thought for a moment and said:
"Senior Uncle, I want to know, as mentioned in the Taoist scripture, how do blood, bone, and flesh govern together?"
Zhao Shousui pondered for a moment and then explained:
"Your question is somewhat broad. Everyone differs in both innate essence and postnatal martial-derived essence.
I can only analyze the methodology in the Taoist scripture; you need to follow your own path in practice later."
"Understood, Senior Uncle, please proceed."
"A person is not just a seven-foot body; spirit is physical strength, soul is the soul.
Since ordinary people lack a ’Soul Palace,’ they cannot perceive the soul’s existence. To govern the three, it is not solely by the spirit, but requires the soul’s role for coordination."
"Senior Uncle, you’ve previously said if the soul is the wick, then Spiritual Power is the flame released by burning the wick."
"Correct; if comparing martial arts intention with reality, Spiritual Power is like a manifestation of the soul.
Actually, ordinary people can also perceive the soul’s existence.
Due to lacking a Soul Palace, during nighttime sleep, the soul rests in the liver. If the spirit is emotionally unstable, the soul will also receive feedback, causing dreams.
Dreams are the soul wandering, making people exit their bodies, roam the nine heavens, but wake up groggy with no memory."
