Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 297 Blue Sky and Sword Eyebrows
Lin Chucheng's breakthrough should have attracted a lot of attention.

It's normal for the entire base to hold a celebration for this.

Unfortunately, those in the action team and equipment team who possessed cultivation abilities were still recuperating.

The rest of the logistics staff were also happy about Lin Chucheng's breakthrough.

However, since they themselves did not have much attainment in cultivation, their understanding of this aspect was not very deep.

The crowd simply walked to the doors and windows, peering in and watching the spectacle of the giant tiger.

However, precisely because of this, Lin Chucheng soon had ample time to discuss his experience of this breakthrough with Chu Tianshu in detail.

Chu Tianshu originally wanted to use the old trick of reciting ancient poems and articles to help express his feelings.

However, Lin Chucheng didn't need to look through them again at all. It seemed that he knew all the common poems and classical Chinese texts by heart, and he used them naturally in his conversation.

On the contrary, Chu Tianshu would sometimes have to use his phone to search for background allusions and explanations when he heard unfamiliar passages.

This old man... he really has regained his memories!

Chu Tianshu stayed in the Northwest for another seven days.

Almost every day, he would open his eyes, do some morning exercise, drink some tea, and then start chatting with Lin Chucheng.

I also took the opportunity to organize the chat logs so I could share them with Helai and the others later.

For the first three or four days, Chu Tianshu mostly just listened, but in the following days, he gradually developed his own understanding of what they had discussed, and with his own different perspective on cultivation techniques, he raised some new questions.

Thus, the two had a back-and-forth exchange, and even practiced their moves, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Chu Tianshu also learned about something.

The so-called extraction of primordial energy in the original text of Nan Hua is actually the interception of Dao power.

However, the true forbidden realm is that one can extract Dao power that matches one's own attributes from ordinary natural phenomena.

The quality of the condensed Dao power is basically only related to one's own cultivation level.

The quality of the Dao power that Chu Tianshu extracted by relying on the Nan Hua True Explanation mainly depends on the target being extracted.

He extracts things that are soulless but rich in Dao power most effectively.

Furthermore, masters at the forbidden realm can integrate Dao power into themselves, causing their body and mind to undergo another transformation.

This is also an advantage compared to Nanhua Original.

When he noticed his own flaws, Lin Chucheng just pursed his lips.

"Think about the benefits. You can already access the power of the Dao before even stepping into the forbidden realm. Once you truly enter this realm, that unique power will naturally be under your control and refined, and your strength will rise accordingly."

Lin Chucheng clicked his tongue as he finished speaking.

"Speaking of which, the term 'Dao Li' is actually quite obscure because it's too neutral. I don't know why you like to use this term."

“My practice is mainly based on visualization. After the breakthrough, I still prefer to call this power ‘the power of the myriad realms’.”

“Those of you who practice martial arts, after breaking through to this level, often refer to this power as the essence of heaven and earth.”

Lin Chucheng said, "When recording one's own insights, using such words allows others to better understand the atmosphere and know whether it is the path of martial arts training or the path of cultivation techniques."

Chu Tianshu nodded thoughtfully.

The Youdu Token only deduces martial arts skills, but uses the term "Dao power".

Perhaps in some past era... or perhaps with the Youdu Token, their true home isn't in this world at all. But there, when people talk about spiritual power, they immediately think of martial arts.

With cultural changes and different atmospheres, it's perfectly fine to use vocabulary that suits you better.

"Language is indeed a big problem."

Mo Xiaoyu was also in the living room today.

"I can translate each character of the totem patterns and ancient hermit texts on the stone tablet into the corresponding vernacular Chinese."

"But if it's just a literal translation, the whole thing won't flow together, and I can't even understand it myself."

Mo Xiaoyu picked up her coffee cup and took a sip, looking quite helpless.

"If I want to achieve a more accurate interpretation, it would mean that I need to first comprehend this entire manual, but that's too difficult."

“Mr. Chu, I was too presumptuous to think I could translate a book and hand it to you before you went back. I’ll punish myself with a cup.” She downed the cup of coffee with hardly any sugar in it.

"It's just that the translation is blocked. It happens often. You have to keep a calm attitude."

Lin Chucheng said, "I seem to be doing quite well in understanding what's on the stone tablet, but it will probably take several months to organize it into something that others can understand. I can't guarantee that."

Chu Tianshu laughed and said, "No need to rush, I haven't broken through to that level yet anyway."

"Besides, the compensation for this invitation was originally paid by Senior Helai. I'll make sure to squeeze some money out of him when I get back."

Lin Chucheng peeled a lollipop and put it in his mouth.

"With Helai's energy, he could clearly consider himself a young man, but his mentality is still too old."

"Although a lot of a person's character is formed after birth, at the moment of breakthrough, one must have a spirit of sincerity and integrity, which is innate and will remain even if one is reincarnated."

He jumped off the sofa and slowly walked towards the living room door.

"My failure back then was because I had worries in my heart and dust in my mirror."

"Actually, as long as you have a passion, you can be clear about what you're interested in and do whatever you want without worrying about whether it makes you seem too childish or immature."

He took the lollipop out of his mouth and looked back at Chu Tianshu.

"We've had a great chat, so you don't need to tell me when you're flying back. I'm going to sleep now!"

"clear."

Chu Tianshu smiled, raised his right hand, and waved it gently. "Bye-bye, Senior Lin."

Lin Chucheng chuckled, then swaggered out with a lollipop in his mouth.

Mo Xiaoyu stood up and said seriously, "But I still want to hold a small farewell banquet for Mr. Chu."

"Tell the cooks to order a few dishes. Xiong Zhengsan and the others are recovering quickly from their injuries and would like to have a get-together, is that alright?"

She added, "They themselves wanted to thank you, and they also wanted to say on behalf of those who sacrificed themselves, thanking you for cleaning up those scoundrels."

Chu Tianshu suppressed his smile and nodded seriously.

Even Lin Chucheng, who seemed to be in the best mood and wandering around aimlessly, was not immune.

Chu Tianshu once encountered that person after finishing his morning exercise, just as he came out of the morgue, heading to visit the remains of the victims.

When they finally saw Xiong Zhengsan at the dinner table, he was still using two crutches.

He was still as tall as before, but seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and his demeanor was even more sharp.

After finishing the meal, Chu Tianshu went to the airport.

When he arrived, Mo Xiaoyu and Tang Nu picked him up together, but when he left, Tang Nu was finishing up a case.

As they parted, Mo Xiaoyu squeezed Chu Tianshu's hand, the pearl on her earlobe swaying slightly, and said, "I hope the impression the Northwest left on you wasn't too bad."

Chu Tianshu looked back at the distant mountains and said, "When I came here, I only saw flowers and grass, a patchwork of desert and oasis. After staying here for a while, I feel both cruelty and magnificence rushing towards me."

Many wildflowers have also bloomed in the meadow.

Fragrant grasses stretch endlessly to the horizon.

The towering snow-capped peaks of the Tianshan Mountains in the distance are merely an embellishment to this boundless expanse of fragrant grass.

He took a deep breath and said sincerely, "If I have time in the future, I would definitely be happy to come again, but it would be best if I didn't see any more of those annoying poisonous weeds."

"Let's go and see the places the driver told us about, and see what kind of impressive effect their grass checkerboard pattern has created."

Mo Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I hope I'll have the chance to visit Jianghuai someday."

"Goodbye, Mr. Chu!"

A moment later, the steel wings swept straight across the clouds.

A white streak across the vast blue sky, fading into the distance.

It was as if the heavens were drawing eyebrows for him, a sword-like eyebrow.
