Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 142 Qilin Divine Hero
"The Qilin, a mythical creature, dwells amidst the vast, primordial earth. It nurtures all living beings, its essence forming Yin and Yang..."

A golden divine beast emerged along with ancient and mysterious runes. Its shape resembled a giant deer, covered with golden scales, and its eyes shone with golden light. Standing in the void, it possessed a majestic and imposing presence, as solid as a mountain and as thick as the earth.

The golden divine beast let out a low roar and stepped into the depths of the high-level martial arts spiritual world...

Gao Wu quickly regained his senses. He glanced at Song Mingyue, who was still sitting with her eyes closed, her internal energy flowing endlessly.

Clearly, she has only focused on two acupoints, and Song Mingyue is still consolidating and nourishing them; it will take at least three to five hours to finish.

With martial arts grandmasters and numerous martial arts experts in charge, AnDa Martial Arts Academy can be considered one of the safest places in Beizhou.

However, Song Mingyue was at a critical juncture and could not be disturbed by outsiders. Gao Wu still had to keep an eye on her.

Fortunately, the Qilin Divine Mantra does not require nurturing. Once activated, the mantra is deeply imprinted into his spiritual world, including when he visualizes the Qilin divine image.

The newly activated Qilin Divine Mantra is prominently listed in the Book of Immeasurable Merits, marked with the entry level.

These divine incantations, once activated, naturally lead to mastery. If one were to practice and recite them on their own, it would take two to three hundred days to reach the proficient stage.

It took him four years and a lot of merit to cultivate the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra before he reached the mastery level.

It wasn't until he saved Song Mingyue and spread the word through short videos that he broke through to the Lesser Completion Realm, thus getting on the fast track.

Today, thanks to Song Mingyue's good fortune, the Qilin Divine Hero Curse was activated again. Gao Wu really wanted to give Song Mingyue a big kiss; she was his lucky star!
To be honest, Gao Wu didn't quite understand why the Qilin Divine Hero Curse was activated.

Was it because of the spiritual resonance he shared with Song Mingyue? Or was it because he witnessed the profound changes that occurred after Song Mingyue's breakthrough?

The Qilin Divine Hero Curse has nothing to do with the Cold Netherworld Serpent.

Could it be that seeing the virtuous inspires one to emulate them? Is that what triggered the Qilin Divine Hero Curse?
Gao Wu opened the corresponding page of the Book of Boundless Merit and saw the incantation of the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra. Through his connection with the book, he naturally understood the incantation and the function of this divine mantra.

The Qilin Divine Mantra corresponds to one's inherent qualities, granting them profound wisdom and exceptional learning, analytical, and comprehension abilities. It also bestows upon them a mysterious intuition, enabling them to penetrate complex phenomena and grasp their essence.

Innate talent can be called wisdom, wisdom is the ability to perceive truth, and the profound truth is the foundation. In simpler terms, it can be called enlightenment.

However, his comprehension is somewhat biased. His innate talent includes comprehension, but is not limited to it.

Gao Wu roughly understood that the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra could temporarily improve one's innate talent, which meant improving his martial arts ability.

Activating the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra increased his innate talent by 0.1, reaching 9.6.

With such a slight improvement, Gao Wu couldn't feel any effect. He currently had 15 million merits, so improving his divine spell wasn't difficult; the question was what level he could improve it to.

We live in the information age, where a vast amount of information is exchanged every moment.

Whether in the public or private domain, a topic's popularity will only last for a maximum of seven days. After seven days, the popularity will quickly dissipate.

Although the Demon Slayer video had the backing of Longteng Company and official endorsement, its popularity only lasted for three days.

Three days later, the hype plummeted. Now, it only generates a few thousand merit points per day.

Even so, this wave of popularity allowed him to accumulate 15 million merits.

The reason he hadn't upgraded the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Curse before was because he was cultivating at school, and he hadn't been able to fully unleash his potential with only 20 points of physique. Adding such a high physique would be a waste.

Of course, the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra, as his fundamental divine mantra, is extremely important. When he participates in the end-of-month trial, he will definitely need to improve the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra to deal with unexpected situations.

The Dragon Claw Peak Secret Realm is extremely dangerous, and their trials require them to venture even deeper into another world, which makes it even more perilous.

Now, Gao Wu was hesitant. Should he upgrade the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra to the highest level, or wait and see?
Fortunately, I have enough merit. I can first upgrade the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra to the highest level and see the effect before making a decision.

Gao Wu wasn't in a hurry. He waited until 2 a.m. before Song Mingyue opened her eyes.

Her eyes shone brightly, giving her an air of awe-inspiring and unapproachable divinity.

"You're awake." Gao Wu reached out and pulled Song Mingyue up, asking with a smile, "How are you feeling?"

Song Mingyue nodded vigorously: "Very good."

Gao Wu observed Song Mingyue with his Yin Spirit and could see a bright, eight-pointed radiance emanating from the acupoint between her eyebrows, like the brightest star in the darkest night.

Deep within this star, a white snake coils, its aura deep and cold, yet lacking the deathly stillness of the usual white snakes, instead possessing a clear and pure quality.

Song Mingyue's chest was also shining brightly in an octagonal shape, while her dantian acupoint was just a ball of bright light. The combined light of these two acupoints was far less powerful than the acupoint between her eyebrows!
With this advancement, Song Mingyue clearly integrated her mental power and the Nine Transformations of the White Snake into one, and her source power level was much stronger than that of a beginner martial artist... It was obvious that her strength had greatly improved.

Gao Wu was very happy about Song Mingyue's progress.

The two are now practically inseparable; Xiao Song's prowess is equivalent to his own. This is also greatly beneficial to his cultivation.

He cupped his hands in congratulations: "Your divine skills have greatly improved, congratulations!"

"It's all thanks to your help that I was able to break through smoothly." Song Mingyue finally understood that Gao Wu's teasing of her had a purpose. Gao Wu didn't say anything, but just pouted smugly, as if to say, "You understand."

Song Mingyue couldn't help but smile, her eyes curving like crescent moons.

Gao Wu really liked Song Mingyue's genuine smile. It was bright, charming, and had a carefree innocence and cuteness. At that moment, she truly embodied the youthful spirit of an eighteen-year-old girl.

"Thank you." Song Mingyue didn't know what to say; she could only express her complex feelings of excitement, joy, and emotion in the simplest language.

She thought for a moment, then kissed Gao Wu on the lips. She didn't dare look at him anymore, and hurriedly turned and walked back to her room, only saying, "Goodnight."

"The atmosphere's reached this point, it would be impolite not to give a wet kiss..." Gao Wu muttered, touching his lips, and slowly turned and went back to the bedroom.

After taking a shower and changing into his pajamas, Gao Wu lay on the bed, summoned the Book of Immeasurable Merit, and added 1.12 million merits to the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra.

The image of the Qilin appeared, and divine runes fluttered in the sky. In a daze, Gao Wu seemed to have transformed into a divine beast, standing in the void and looking down at the world.

Wherever his gaze fell, everything—the sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, mountains, rivers, and seas—contained some kind of principle, and everything was interconnected, forming an exceptionally complex and enormous structure…

He seemed to have grasped something, yet he also seemed lost in the endless stream of truths...

At six o'clock the next morning, Gao Wu woke up on time. He did not open the Book of Boundless Merit, but first sensed his own condition and did not notice any obvious changes.

Using the Yin spirit to introspect again, no specific changes were found.

The Qilin Divine Hero Mantra, which cost over a million merits, did not bring about any substantial changes to his body, nor did it bring about any changes to his spirit, Yin spirit, source power, or any other aspects.

Upon opening the Book of Immeasurable Merit, the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra was clearly elevated to the Great Completion stage, and the root capacity was also increased to 15 points.

The image of the Qilin God is hidden deep within his spiritual world, containing six layers of Qilin Divine Mantra. It is as majestic as a mountain and as solid as the earth, possessing an unshakable sacred power.

Although the divine physiognomy is impressive, it seems to be of little use!

"That's it?"

Gao Wu was a little puzzled. Surely it couldn't be completely useless? Could it be that the effects could only be seen when practicing martial arts?
He carried his sword to the underground training hall and, after thinking for a moment, decided to practice a set of Zhanbing Fist first.

This set of boxing techniques is still at the minor mastery level; even a little progress will be noticeable.

As soon as the pistol stance was unleashed, Gao Wu immediately sensed something was wrong. This fist technique was so simple and direct; how could he have been practicing it incorrectly in so many ways before?!
After completing a set of Zhanbingquan (a type of martial arts), Gao Wu discovered many mistakes and omissions in his previous practice. He practiced it again, and his fist technique improved significantly.

He thought about the divine incantation that activated the inner essence of the Qilin Divine Form, and through the Book of Immeasurable Merit, he saw that his root potential had increased by 0.5.

After practicing Zhanbingquan again, he had a thorough understanding of the various variations of the fist technique and was able to execute it with great skill and grace, showing significant improvement compared to before.

In this state, his mind was exceptionally clear, and he grasped the various changes in boxing techniques with remarkable precision.

He had understood the essence of boxing moves before, and there was a clear transformation from the understanding in his mind to the execution of the moves in his body.

Simply put, it means that the brain understands it, but the hands haven't learned it yet.

Now he doesn't have this problem. As long as he understands his body, he can perform in sync without any distortion or mistakes.

After Gao Wu finished performing a set of Zhanbing Fist, he slowly came to a stop. He understood that the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra enhanced his innate abilities, not only improving his learning, analytical, and comprehension skills, but also enhancing his physical talents, truly achieving unity of mind and body.

Looking at Zhanbingquan in this state is like doing addition and subtraction for elementary school students... It's not difficult at all, you just need to be patient and do all the questions.

He couldn't help but sigh. Zhanbingquan was so simple, yet he had never been able to master it!

After waiting for two minutes, the blessing of the Qilin Divine Mantra dissipated, and my root quality returned to 15 points.

Even at the Great Perfection level, Gao Wu needed three minutes to complete the recitation of the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra.

In terms of the duration of chanting, the Qilin Divine Hero Mantra is the most complex among the three divine mantras.

The image of the Qilin appeared, and Gao Wu activated all six layers of the Qilin Divine Heroic Mantra.

He felt extremely clear-headed, with all his thoughts as clear and transparent as water, including his own body, inside and out, at every level.

When I practiced Zhanbingquan again, I felt incredibly smooth, as if I had been immersed in it for decades. The most subtle changes in the boxing technique were exceptionally clear and understandable, without any hindrance.

In Zhanbingquan (a martial arts style), Gao Wu saw the essence of boxing condensed in the boxing techniques of masters throughout history, and their indomitable spirit of fighting.

While understanding the spirit and essence of these boxing techniques, Gao Wu also developed his own understanding of Zhanbingquan (Warrior Boxing).

Unconsciously, he unleashed his own unique boxing spirit!
The legacy of martial arts left by Master Song Chunqiu deep within the spiritual world of high martial arts has shattered silently…
