With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 536 - 491: Taking Charge of the Dharma Lineage, The Grand Plan of Trapping Fang in the Dharma Realm!
He merely succeeded in performing it once, and yet he gained a few tenths of Qi and Blood Value.
This technique is quite impressive...
Beside him, Chen Tuan vaguely sensed it.
After Meng Chuan completed this sequence, vitality descended upon him, swirling around his body.
This kid has truly entered the path!
"The True Martial Demon-Subduing Nine Forms seem to be destined to flourish in his hands..."
During this era at Wudang, there were four Principal Tao Lords.
Among them, Zhang Jingshi of the Songxi Sect trained the [Demon Vanquishing Divine Power] to the deepest level.
Even the Divine Skill Mystical Sutra was extensively explored.
But what he primarily studied was not the core True Martial methods.
Instead, it was the [Seven Luminaries Sword Technique]!
Water Department Deity, Seven Luminaries Sword Technique, Divine Weapon Command, Decree Command Ability.
Each of the four Tao Lords opened one lineage to cultivate the supreme deep realm contained in the divine skills.
Among the five core True Martial methods, only the Demon Vanquishing Divine Power lacks successor, somewhat severing its legacy.
Looking at Meng Chuan, if he were to attain the rank of Celestial King someday, deeply understanding the [Mysterious Heaven True Martial Demon Vanquishing Mystical Sutra] Divine Skill.
Perhaps he could truly manage the demon-subduing lineage and assist the ancestral court in preserving its tradition...
"It’s a pity this lad is unwilling to join Wudang, especially with Xiao Sui watching... alas."
Thinking of this, Chen Tuan truly felt regret.
Meanwhile, Meng Chuan was also faintly sensing the feeling of attaining "the Way" with this fist skill.
His Martial Arts path, when expanded, is endowed with various attributes.
In essence, it boils down to simple fist and foot techniques.
Now that he has entered the path with such a high-difficulty fist skill.
It’s like an extension of the Way, broadening his martial arts horizon.
According to Uncle Master Zhao, by enhancing his understanding of the Way, expressing it through fist and foot techniques to connect with the heavens and capture more vitality.
Breaking it down into each fist skill means speeding up the proficiency practice.
Practicing once leads to more insights than before, speeding up the Qi and Blood improvement.
"It seems practicing high-difficulty fist skills also has its benefits in this regard."
Meng Chuan decided that after breaking three, he would find an opportunity to learn divine fist skills.
If he was lucky enough to enter, his "Way path" would be even smoother.
Meanwhile, as he consolidates his practice, his panel shines brightly.
Under the Martial Arts section, new entries are quickly generated:
[True Martial Demon-Subduing Nine Forms: Beginner (1%) Awaiting Limit Breaking]
[Limit Breaking Trait: Encounter Demon (Advanced)]
Meng Chuan kept practicing for over two hours until his proficiency increased by 1% before stopping.
Beside him, Chen Tuan did not disturb him but watched Meng Chuan with twinkling eyes, as if observing a jewel.
When he stopped, Chen Tuan smiled:
"You’re practicing very well, nothing much to guide you on. This technique focuses on practical combat. Use it extensively while subduing demons at the Demon Nest to better comprehend its essence, laying groundwork for future divine skill learning."
Meng Chuan pondered, asking about the word "essence":
"Senior, do you mean... this technique can be understood in combat without referring to the original practice, capturing the true essence of martial arts?"
Chen Tuan understood his point, explaining:
"Essence is your own understanding of martial arts rising in combat, not the so-called true essence of martial arts.
The core True Martial methods, Water Department, Seven Luminaries, Divine Weapon, Decree, and Demon Vanquishing’s foundations are deeply entrenched within the Dharma Realm of the Emperor. Where would there be a talk of original cultivation technique?
If anyone could achieve perfection in the corresponding divine skill supreme learning, imprint the true essence of martial arts?
Since it’s within the Dharma Realm of the Emperor, the aim is to ensure unbroken inheritance. If it could be documented, imprint the true essence, Wudang would eagerly allow everyone to learn it."
"I understand."
Meng Chuan grasped Chen Tuan’s meaning.
Like the Demon Vanquishing Divine Power he mastered, regardless of its various methods.
It’s all part of the branches under the True Martial imprint within the sea of consciousness.
Similar to the relationship between secret techniques and divine skill supreme learning.
Yet not completely the same, solely capable of interacting with heaven and earth vitality, a complete martial arts.
But the ultimate aim of studying these is similar to cultivating secret techniques.
It’s all about laying the foundation for future divine skill supreme learning.
As for Chen Tuan’s statement implying even if the True Martial Demon-Subduing Nine Forms achieved perfection, it couldn’t imprint the true essence of martial arts.
Meng Chuan remarked: Although you are right, once I break the limit, it might not be the case...
Breaking the limit is all about one’s own effort and hard work.
Completely transforming this technique to suit oneself, unrelated to True Martial Emperor...
If the true essence is imprinted, drafting a boxing manual...
Hail Northern United University!
Ahem... Meng Chuan just thought about it.
This technique belongs to Wudang, doing such a thing would be unethical.
Wudang didn’t treat him badly. If there’s a chance to give back, Meng Chuan would surely do it.
Someday, if he can imprint the true essence of martial arts, the United University practicing the copied version is enough.
As for the original one containing the true essence of martial arts, he’d let the True Martial Demon-Subduing Nine Forms return to Wudang to "acknowledge its root and return to its ancestor."
By doing so, why not practice the other four core True Martial lineage methods?
Both Chen Tuan and Dao Master Xu would surely find a way to have him enter the [True Martial Dharma Realm] for further study...
Analyzing like this, Meng Chuan felt a bright future ahead, his mood uplifted.
Chen Tuan watched Meng Chuan with an enigmatic expression, puzzled in his heart:
"This kid, what’s he plotting..."
Checking the clock, too much time had been spent on this kid.
He then said:
"That’s it for today. If, in the future, you feel your martial principles are sufficient to enter [Yin-Yang Demon Vanquishing Heart Sutra], you can come to consult me.
If Zhang Jingshi, the Principal, is available, I can introduce you to him."
"Thank you, Senior, I’ve really bothered you these past two days. I take my leave now."
"Now you possess the complete [Celestial Demon’s Divine Power] and [Mystic Martial Method]. Though you don’t trust the Emperor, you could still be considered half a Wudang person. So you don’t need to address me so distantly in the future."
"Master!"
"...what I mean is, you can call me Sect Head or Sect Master..."
"Master, when will we at Wudang launch the operation against the mountain’s whispers?"
"...call me Sect Head, it’s roughly scheduled for the eve of the New Year."
Then, Chen Tuan briefly explained the matter of the Great Alchemical Gathering to Meng Chuan.
This kid even knows about the matter of the Celestial Demon, so there’s no need to deliberately keep it from him.
At the same time, thoughts were brewing in Meng Chuan’s mind.
In recent days, he saw the news that residents of the northern foothills of Taihang had already completed their relocation.
Indeed, the operation concerning the mountain’s whispers is not far from this moment.
Seeing Meng Chuan’s demeanor, Chen Tuan worried he might have ideas about the Great Alchemical Gathering, and couldn’t help but advise:
"This involves the ultimate darkness, participants start at the level of Martial Arts Grandmaster, so don’t entertain any thoughts.
Your mission is to practice martial arts and... live well."
The elevation of the human realm’s dimension relies on the efforts of generations, passing the torch.
In his view, Meng Chuan’s potential.
Already has some opportunity to take over the baton from Zhao Linyuan...
...
After bidding farewell to Sect Master Chen Tuan and leaving the Purple Heaven Hall, Meng Chuan returned to his room.
He pondered the Demon Subduing Nine Styles Fist Skill he just learned upon entry.
"This method not only allows for limit breaking to acquire high characteristics, but from the fist skill’s function to the trait of [Encountering Demons], all point to restraining the Celestial Demon."
Therefore, he decided to add this method to his main daily martial practice.
At the current pace, practicing for two hours a day, mastery can be achieved in a hundred days.
Within a year, it will be enough to become proficient and comprehend the Demon Subduing Momentum.
This Martial Arts Momentum is the fundamental force to restrain the Celestial Demon.
If transformed into Intention Power, it could serve as a significant trump card against the Celestial Demon.
Further specialization could also lead to understanding three major killing moves as powerful as Divine Skill.
Meng Chuan has long desired to witness the might of Divine Skill Fist Techniques.
This time, he could glimpse through the Demon Subduing Nine Styles.
Then he completed today’s fist practice.
During a break in adjusting his breath, thoughts arose concerning the [Great Alchemical Gathering].
Regarding participating in the war, of course, he had no ideas...
Frankly speaking, concerning the encirclement of the ultimate darkness, even Martial Arts Grandmasters are merely extras.
He is only at the second large limit, merely a distant observer, a human camera if he went.
However, recently there’s truly a lot of national tasks concerning Jin Land.
Those special battle merits look so tempting...
Moreover, he doesn’t go to stir up the excitement of the Great Alchemical Gathering.
But for the matter of Jin Land, he indeed has other ideas.
He wants to fish in Jin Land to completely settle Fang Jianxing!
If Fang Jianxing is secretly watching him, ready to make a move.
Then, the core inheritance site of Jin Land’s eighteen Arhats, [Shou Zi Temple].
Is quite suitable as the place for his final resting place!
Why this thought, Meng Chuan pondered for a long time.
The Demon Path is already skilled at running away, let alone Fang Jianxing.
Record Stone has different grades, like the one in his hand that can be used three times, rather than the most common single use consumable.
On this point, Fang Jianxing is no fool, he guesses the opponent will definitively take this into account.
If he dares to gamble and boldly strikes at him.
There must be a method to evade the Record Stone.
Or some, beyond his imagination, escape method that could dodge Principal Yang’s strike.
Or the opponent himself possesses a "magic treasure" of great power.
Similar to Record Stone, capable of killing him in a single blow.
Meng Chuan, having learned from past lessons.
Absolutely must consider the opponent as extremely hard to deal with, first contemplating the worst-case scenario.
How to solve these issues, was given certain enlightenment through the True Martial Dharma Realm journey.
If he could attract him into the Ritual Dharma Realm among them, let the Immortals and Buddhas inside trap him.
Then he would punch and shatter Fang Jianxing’s physical body from the outside, wouldn’t it be wonderful...
All along, from kidnapping his uncle to causing Sister Ru’s death, it’s been the opponent continually scheming against him.
This time, he also plans to counter-scheme against Fang Jianxing, completely and sneakily dispatch this dog...
How to accomplish this?
His most "friendly" Great Brahman Heaven, has already disappeared and can’t help him.
The True Martial Dharma Realm...
Leaving aside whether the True Martial Emperor would heed him, just getting Fang Jianxing up Wudang Mountain is a fantasy...
Where is suitable?
He thus set his sight on Jin Land’s Shou Zi Temple, within the [Eighteen Arhats Dharma Realm]!
"The Eighteen Arhats, according to intelligence from national tasks, half of them have been confirmed as demon polluted.
My Martial Arts fortune must be what the unpolluted Arhats thirst for.
There’s also a chance to become one whom the polluted Arhats, or those soon to fail to resist their wishes, put their hope on.
Just like Great Brahman Heaven, Han Zhongli."
Among the existing Immortals and Buddhas, considering comprehensively, the Eighteen Arhats’ likelihood of aiding him is the greatest.
Moreover, his journey to Jin Land could make sense, allowing Fang Jianxing to lower his guard.
"These are all my ideas, best to attract, beforehand, the residual souls of Eighteen Arhats akin to Great Brahman Heaven’s avatar, and finalize the [Dharma Realm Trap Fang] plan with them."
