With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 534 - 489: Cosmic Refugees, Demon-Subduing Thunder True Qi!
According to Uncle Master Zhao’s "Great Dao Simplification Method," he also put it into practice...
Moments later, Meng Chuan had an epiphany:
"Blood hard skills, combined with Qi Nourishing Armor and Cyan Netherworld Dragon Lock, as practical anchors for blood, flesh, and bones.
Bone as the framework, flesh adding layers, blood filling the interior.
I wish to use this to construct a body performance hall, but I’m missing a method to integrate it all together.
As Uncle Master said, Dragon Meditation can be the link tying these three cultivation techniques...
I don’t understand how the soul assists the body, so I’ll just use it directly, a little reckless."
Meng Chuan increasingly felt that this possibility was quite high.
Coming back to his senses, his five hearts were directed upwards, his aura scattered and gathered, practicing the Seed Demon Mind Technique.
Understanding the path ahead, just continue practicing martial arts steadily.
According to current assumptions, constructing a body performance hall still requires the Limit Breaking of blood techniques and the perfection of Dragon Meditation.
"Almost there..."
Tiger salivation date is in hand, and the Fragrant Enlightenment is carried with him.
Creating blood techniques only requires a moment of epiphany during dawn or dusk.
And the perfection of Dragon Meditation is close at hand.
...
Early next morning, Meng Chuan, after seeking prior permission, arrived at the Purple Cloud Palace.
This place, in the Ancient Martial Era, was praised by royalty as "Purple Cloud Paradise."
The total martial arts training room of Wudang is located in the side hall of Purple Cloud Palace. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Xiao Daozong is not on the mountain right now; this place is under the use of [Tai Chi·Chen Tuan], the publicly recognized "leader" of Wudang.
Inside the room.
Feeling Meng Chuan’s arrival, Chen Tuan put away his black dragon flag and True Martial Seal.
The hall doors automatically opened without wind, slowly revealing the tall, well-proportioned figure of a young man.
Meng Chuan arrived as agreed.
Through the door, he sensed that although Chen Tuan the leader’s body was thin, the power hidden within could rival mountains.
This is what it means to cultivate to the level of "Returning to Simplicity," a high-ranking martial artist, Daoist Celestial King.
Just by external appearance, one cannot see it; it must be sensed with Qi dynamics.
Out of respect, Meng Chuan refrained from excessive scrutiny.
After a glance, he cupped his hands in salute:
"Greetings to the senior, I am Meng Chuan, sorry to disturb you today."
"Come in and speak, no problem."
Chen Tuan nodded slightly, with a hint of surprise.
He could see that Meng Chuan’s body had fully recovered.
Even stronger than a month ago, clearly having made progress while recuperating.
This is truly remarkable.
He remembered, the outside world referred to Meng Chuan as the "Innate Horizontal Training Holy Body."
To recover quickly from such severe injuries, and even improve beyond previous levels.
From this, one can glimpse the strength of this kid’s physique, truly a gift from the heavens.
Now humanity is threatened with calamity, and the danger from above is growing ever more serious.
A gifted individual like Meng Chuan is born to fulfill destiny.
Meng Chuan nodded, followed Chen Tuan the leader inside the hall, and sat down on the tiger-skin rug seat.
As soon as the two sat down, a young attendant brought over a tea pot and cups.
Placed on the table, and lit a subtle, elegant incense.
After serving tea to the two, the young attendant prepared to exit the hall.
Meng Chuan nodded in thanks, called for him, and took out a piece of medicinal paste from his waist badge to hand to him.
The young attendant thanked him crisply:
"Thank you, senior, blessings without measure."
Meng Chuan smiled and patted the attendant’s head, saying nothing more.
He picked up his cup, and after toasting Chen Tuan, put it down and asked:
"Senior, I might want to ask you many things, I hope you can excuse me."
"I said it’s no problem, no need to be so courteous, ask whatever you want to know."
Chen Tuan thought Meng Chuan wanted to inquire about the Crimson Demon God.
He nodded, discussing the information he obtained from Lu Zhenshou.
After discussing, he asked about what he didn’t understand:
"Senior, are Baxia and Xuanwu not things born on Earth, nor the imagined mythical beasts of humans, but actually... existing beings from worlds beyond the sky."
"Indeed, Baxia and Xuanwu both come from the already destroyed Oceanic World; they were the guardian gods of that world.
Besides them, like the widely circulated mythical beasts from mountains and seas among the people, are all [Universe Refugees], remaining only as fragmented souls with decayed bodies.
If Earth were to be destroyed, those of us with Soul Palace within would also become homeless wraiths like them."
"I see."
Meng Chuan nodded thoughtfully, thinking of the scenes from that world, then said:
"The Oceanic World has been destroyed, and the Great Deity Xuanwu escaped to Earth, leaving Baxia compelled to carry the heavens..."
Chen Tuan sighed deeply, explaining:
"That isn’t the case; Xuanwu’s physical form was already destroyed in the conflict with the Demon God. He, being the guardian deity of Oceanic World, would never take the option to flee.
Fortunately, a wisp of his soul broke free from the Crimson Demon God’s grip, wandering for thousands of years before finding Earth.
The Emperor’s Grace allowed it to reside within the Dharma Realm, and he helped establish the foundational techniques of our Daoist School, including the most important Elephant Form Fist - Turtle Sect fist skill, standing together with humans against the Celestial Demons."
With this explanation, Meng Chuan understood.
The Elephant Form Sect and others like it, such as the Dragon Phoenix lineage, are not just figments of imagination, but have genuine "reference targets".
"You are right, many of these extraplanar beings that differ from humans serve as reference points for martial arts.
Especially the Elephant Form Fist Skill, which in its advanced stages, is often related to its form.
Moreover, they lost to the Celestial Demon, their souls marked by it. Now only remaining as fragmented souls, they manifest in the outside world like candles swaying in the wind, hiding within the incense Dharma Realm to avoid calamity."
"Senior, to be frank, isn’t their arrival also likely to bring more disasters to the human world?"
According to Head Chen Tuan’s teachings, Meng Chuan has doubts...
The Celestial Demon Realm discovered the human world in its earliest days.
Could it be related to these extraplanar beings fleeing here...
For once, Chen Tuan revealed a contemplative look and nodded, saying:
"Many have raised this perspective you mentioned, and it does have some reasoning.
In the Ancient Martial Era, the strongest were merely Martial Arts Venerable. Thus, the human world’s dimension was low enough for these extraplanar beings to enter.
But the Celestial Demon Realm, for some unknown purpose, aims to conquer the entire universe. We will ultimately confront them.
Thinking about other things is useless; raising our dimension and maintaining our world is enough, until an undefeated human champion emerges."
"Understood."
Meng Chuan understood this point.
Everything has two sides; while the behavior of extraplanar beings coming to the human world resembles "guidance from high lords",
it also brings the development of martial arts with many benefits.
Seeing Meng Chuan digesting it well, Chen Tuan solemnly said:
"One day, you young people need to take over the responsibilities of us old folks. As the human world’s dimension continues to elevate, the martial arts interacting with vitality will also complement each other and swiftly evolve.
Ancestor Sanfeng once prophesied that in modern times, there will emerge a person who saves the tilted heavens.
And the [Great Saint of the Tilting Heaven] has emerged accordingly, taking over the baton from the Celestial Demon tug-of-war.
In less than two hundred years, they are about to lead the human martial arts to break the eighth seal, extending the dimension of the human world again."
Meng Chuan nodded in agreement, Zhao Dasheng is awesome!
He has heard of Zhao Dasheng’s mighty reputation numerous times before.
One can say they are human’s guardian deity, which is not an exaggeration.
After discussing "national affairs", he down-to-earthedly sought advice:
"Senior, I have fully recovered internally. Please guide me on how to utilize that strand of True Martial Thunder Essence."
"You can treat it as a heavenly material and earthly treasure to use, if you have any ideas, I’ll help you refine them."
Ways to use heavenly materials and earthly treasures are explored by martial arts families.
This move by Chen Tuan was because Meng Chuan seemed to have some ideas, thus he said so.
"I have two thoughts. One is refining this essence akin to the golden tears of immortals—it seems it can cause the spring eye to mutate.
The second is to retain its thunder might as a marker for gathering thunder attribute qi and stimulating the body.
I’m a bit greedy, wanting both, not sure if the senior has any solutions..."
Under his gaze, Chen Tuan slightly nodded, pondering for a moment then said:
"Let me think... This thunder essence contains Emperor’s Divine Power, comparable to some fourth-grade thunder treasures.
Emperor’s Thunder is primarily used to kill monsters and demons. Refining it will make your true qi contain a trace of demonic-subduing thunder attribute qi, stronger than ordinary thunder attribute qi, truly a nemesis of Celestial Demons.
Tracing back to the root, it’s indeed as you think—it’s the mutation brought by the spring eye.
If you want to use thunder to stimulate the body... wait, I’ve figured it out; when you were acting foolishly on the mountain top, weren’t you trying to do this, draw the thunder into your body?
"Yes..."
He really drew it in, but it wasn’t heavenly thunder, it was True Martial Emperor’s Thunder...
Chen Tuan speechlessly said:
"No need to retain it; if you have refined it, the spring eye will undergo corresponding mutations, transform your inner breath into demonic-subduing thunder true qi, and keep striking yourself.
This is your forte, you surely can endure it."
"...Understood."
Chen Tuan’s informal speech contained logical truths, allowing him to immediately think it through.
Former master Luo Guanyun also mentioned the purpose of imprinting thunder anchor points.
It facilitates future gathering of thunder attribute qi and converting to stimulate the body.
Now his true qi has mutated into the so-called [Demonic-Subduing Thunder True Qi].
Just strike... no, directly stimulate it’s enough.
No need to borrow internal anchor points, attracting a mass of thunder attribute qi intake.
"Thank you senior, I understood, I was previously lost in appearances."
Chen Tuan nodded and then reminded:
"But the power of this Emperor’s Thunder Essence, you’ve already experienced, subsequent refining is also quite difficult.
Tell me your spring eye’s quality, I’ll help judge whether it can be refined now. If not, store it for later."
This item’s grade is equivalent to the fourth-grade thunder treasure.
Under normal circumstances, suitable for Martial Arts Grandmaster, or at least Three-Limit Master.
Meng Chuan, a mere Two-Limit Master, Chen Tuan worries something might go wrong...
At his words, he pondered:
"As for size... roughly three times larger than standard Two-Limits."
He had previously inquired Zhao Haizhen and Jack, both of their spring eyes in the same realm are considered top-notch.
Yet still considerably smaller than his own...
"...Size alone is not enough."
Chen Tuan was also a bit shocked, why Meng Chuan’s spring eye is so large...
He further said:
"I also dual cultivate with both thunder and fire secret techniques, the spring eye has corresponding arc and heat breath mutations."
"...Then go ahead with refining, no problem."
