With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 429 Huashan's Ambition Endures Through the Ages: A Shocking Turn of Events at the Ear-Scraping Cliff!

Meng Chuan applied his knowledge flexibly to his own Five Elements Fist martial arts principles:

He recalled that when he practiced the Five Elements Fist, he was always fixated on the changes in the movements and the speed at which he circulated the five elements.

However, they overlooked the essence of resonating with heaven and earth.

When one borrows the energy of the spleen and earth, the bricks and stones under one's feet will always crack and break.

Using the energy of the liver (wood element) can harm green leaves and flowers.

When one is drawn by the flow of Qi, one is always "attached to appearances and leaves traces".

The manifestation of bamboo shadows sweeping the steps without disturbing the dust is precisely the extremely high realm of using the Five Elements Fist to draw upon the great power of heaven and earth, yet leaving no trace of human intervention.

He gleaned from He Zuzhen's teachings his next stage of striving for the Five Elements Fist martial arts principles.

Xingyi martial arts practitioners skillfully utilize the natural world to enhance their own abilities.

If one can achieve a state of being unattached and leaving no trace, not only will the martial arts principles of the Five Elements be greatly enhanced.

His overall learning, including martial arts theory, will reach a new level.

Not only are their fists and feet further enhanced by the power of nature, but their power is also greatly increased.

It will also boost your usual skill proficiency and accelerate the advancement of your cultivation techniques.

This is crucial.

His mastery of the Liver Fist technique, which allowed him to break through limitations and acquire special traits, was the key to his current success.

As Meng Chuan continued to observe the bamboo marks, he felt even more deeply the profound wisdom of the ancient sages in martial arts.

If it weren't for the limitations of the times, the era of Qi and Blood Martial Arts would have started a thousand years earlier.

The ultimate achievement of a Taoist master like He Zhizhen goes far beyond that of a martial arts grandmaster.

The realms of True Lord and even Dao Lord are not beyond comprehension.

It's a pity, they were born in the wrong era; all their talk is in vain.

After finishing his reflection, Meng Chuan turned around and thanked Master Yu.

Yu Chenghong waved his hand and said:

"This is because you have accumulated enough knowledge over the years. Even without my guidance, it would only take a little more time for you to comprehend the true essence left behind by Ancestor He."

Watching Meng Chuan leap off the Cliff of Repentance, he sighed inwardly:

"This shows that the gap between Huashan Martial Arts University and Sifang United University has not only not narrowed, but is continuing to widen."

The Huashan Sect also inherited the "ambition" of its predecessors, thinking that one day it could stand among the top martial arts universities.

Unfortunately, it's unclear how long it will be before that day arrives.
Meng Chuan returned to the mountaintop and, following Wang Chong, explored all the historical sites of Huashan Martial Arts University, gaining a great deal of knowledge from the experience.

At the summit of Mount Hua, atop Jade Maiden Peak, the site of the martial arts competition.

Meng Chuan saw the world, saw the people, and finally saw himself.

He had feelings he wanted to express, and he had to get them out.

After obtaining Grandmaster Yu Chenghong's permission, I left my mark at the summit of Sword Debate Peak, which is also the greatest insight of this trip:

He did not worship immortals or Buddhas, but only cultivated himself; he achieved both life and death through martial arts and enlightenment. — Meng Chuanliu

Perhaps in the near future, these two lines of small characters will be erased by the wind and sand.

Or it will end up like [Hezu Cave].

It becomes a historical site imbued with genuine charm, enduring through the ages.

Yu Chenghong squinted as he watched, gaining a deeper understanding of Meng Chuanwu's unwavering will to fight.

In his opinion, the probability of something lasting forever is far greater than the former.

He murmured:

"Not worshipping immortals or Buddhas but cultivating oneself is in line with the development of the Qi and Blood Martial Arts era."

The "cultivation of both body and life through fist and foot techniques" is an essence of ancient martial arts, which uses the techniques of fist and foot techniques to break through illusions and realize truth.

This idea is ahead of its time, truly remarkable.

Meng Chuan was unaware that after he left...

The two sentences he left behind are the same as the true essence of He Zuzhi's martial arts.

It became a motto to be remembered when disciples of Huashan Martial Arts University first entered the sect.

I spent a day at Huashan Martial Arts University. By then, it was already dark, and the night sky was dotted with stars.

Fortunately, Meng Chuan's energy was already superhuman, and he was also blessed with the support of kidney essence and vital energy.

Even after more than 48 hours without sleep, he was still full of energy.

The reason is that I've gained so much in just a few days, and I'm a little excited.

As Meng Chuan descended from the mountainside, he pondered:

"I won't sleep tonight either. I'll head to the Lian Da Luo Mall branch early, then take a nap before getting up to complete the Heavenly Gang Ranking challenge."

He had been thinking about the monthly credits he would receive after being accepted into the program for a long time.

The purpose of this trip is to complete the challenge along the way.

Within the territory of Shaanxi, excluding the Yong'an Lishan branch school where he was located.

There is another branch school located in Luoshang City, the southeastern gateway of Shaanxi Province.

This time, he will challenge the 69th person on the UN General Assembly's Heavenly Rank List.

It was this branch school that housed the second-tier master class—

【Dragon and Snake Dance - Li Yuansheng】

This person's strength is almost at the peak of the second limit; he is a master of the symbolic representation of dragons and snakes.

He enjoys considerable prestige among students and once missed the opportunity to inherit the true essence of Wuji.

To others, Li Yuansheng was definitely not an easy opponent to deal with.

The dragon form is domineering, and the snake form is unpredictable. The combined power of the two is far more than just one plus one equals two.

But for someone who has grasped the basic concept of the scene, it's a piece of cake.

The reason is that we no longer aim for higher rankings.

First, the people ahead of us could break the three-point mark at any time.

Another option is to go to Luoshang City, which is on the way. After completing the challenge, we can head south.

We entered the land of Jingchu and headed to Wudang.

Just as he was descending the mountain, two figures dressed in black, with knives at their waists, appeared.

They used grappling hooks to attach themselves to the rock face and hide behind the Ear-Scraping Cliff.

【Cai'er Cliff】is the only way Meng Chuan could pass on his way down the mountain.

It gets its name from the fact that the path is narrow and dangerous, requiring people to hug the cliff face and barely pass by.

In the distance, at the cliff edge in the middle of Canglong Ridge.

There was also a figure who had set up a large-caliber sniper rifle early on, lying in ambush in the shadows.

The caliber of this gun is terrifying, almost as thick as a bowl; one can only imagine what type of bullets it's loaded with. The three-man squad is from Blackwater.

Meng Chuan was able to receive official assignments from the United Nations General Assembly, and the same convenient function existed in the demonic path.

The three of them accepted the challenge from the Demon Summoning Hall to kill the number one on the list!

The rewards are amazing, it would be a shame not to give it a shot.

Behind the Ear-Scraping Cliff, two Blackwater assassins heard a deep, steady male voice.

"The thermal imaging has detected that guy; he's coming down the Golden Lock Pass."

"They're moving incredibly fast, their blood and qi are burning hot, and they're not carrying anything. You two be prepared."

"Roger that, Captain, can you lock his head in place?"

"Half of our view is blocked by the rocks, and according to the intelligence, this guy's perception ability is not weak. I'd say we're about 70% sure."

"receive."

"Get ready to listen for my signal. The target is moving too fast. Prepare to make your move ahead of time."

A brief silence fell over the headset, broken only by the steady breathing of the three people.

Together, the trio formed a rare professional team within Blackwater, boasting a 100% success rate in assassinating martial arts masters.

The captain is a veteran master who entered the demonic path halfway through his life and has nearly 20,000 units of vital energy.

He is also an expert in sniping.

The remaining two were also experts in killing, having undergone five transformations and cultivated demonic arts.

The three men were determined to catch the prey that was descending the mountain.

Somewhere in the Central Plains.

Li Xiao looked out the window at the bustling night view and listened to his subordinates report on their work.

"Lord, the Blackwater squad has been dispatched."

"Oh? Where did they make their move?"

Li Xiao knew that Meng Chuan had just come out of Dingxian Temple and then left the city from Yong'an, seemingly heading towards Huayin.

"Meng Chuan is descending the mountain halfway up Mount Hua."

"Alright, I also remember these three. They're quite strong and have never lost since their debut. They're perfect to be used as stepping stones today."

On the other end of the phone, a puzzled voice came from his subordinate:

"Your subordinate is dull-witted; what does 'cushion' mean?"

"Are you stupid? Meng Chuan left school. Yang Huan probably didn't prepare a backup plan for him?"

The strength of these three is just right to wear down his backup plan, then we can deal with this kid easily, right?

"The master of the palace is wise!"

At the Golden Lock Pass of Mount Hua.

Unaware that they had been secretly marked by Li Xiao as pawns to "deplete Meng Chuan's backup plans," the three had been abandoned.

Still lost in their dreams of dividing up the spoils.

"Once this is done, I'm ready to retire and try to break the three-point mark."

"I wish our eldest brother all the best, and that he can also lead us two brothers to make a fortune."

"Hahaha, definitely. Ready, ten seconds."

"Received, Captain."

At the same time, Meng Chuan looked down at the increasingly narrow mountain path.

At the very bottom, you can vaguely see a huge rock protruding onto the steps, most of it protruding.

"We're almost at Ear-Scraping Cliff. Looks like we're not far from going down the mountain."

His figure swiftly traversed the mountain path, moving dozens of meters in a single step.

If he hadn't been worried about slipping on the treacherous terrain of Mount Hua, he would have already traversed a hundred meters in a single step to the bottom of the mountain.

As they drew closer to Ear Cliff, Meng Chuan suddenly frowned.

He smelled an unusual aura in the air.

This energy flowed back into my mind.

Although he was trying to hide and suppress it, he could still smell that "stench of demonic cultivation".

Meng Chuan understood; what he smelled was undoubtedly demonic energy.

It seems someone was lying in wait for him, and his whereabouts have been exposed.

But he was not flustered at all. If he wanted to conceal his tracks, he could have worn the [Thousand Faces, Thousand Eyes] to change his aura when he left the city and when he came down the mountain.

But in order to lure Fang Jianxing, who was possibly lurking in the shadows, Meng Chuan decided to use himself as bait.

He wanted to lure the other party out, directly activate the recording stone, and then kill Lao Yang with a single blow.

But judging from the feedback of the [Aura Observation Technique], he only caught two...
No, three small fish.

The entire thought process flashed by in an instant.

Meng Chuan continued down the mountain without stopping for a moment, his expression unchanged.

Since you dared to ambush him, you should be prepared to die.

Near Ear-Scraping Cliff, two men lying in ambush behind them listened to the captain's countdown through their earpieces:
"Three seconds."

"Two seconds."

"Take action!"

At the same time, the roar of an extra-large caliber bullet being fired came through the headset.

Bang-!
When the exaggeratedly large, three-finger-wide brass cartridge case was ejected, it brought up a wisp of blue smoke.

The giant armor-piercing projectile tore through the air, emitting a brief buzzing sound, and charged toward its designated target.

With that caliber, tearing through the true qi shield is as easy as tearing paper.

Unless Meng Chuan possesses the [Heavenly Demon Stance], there is absolutely no possibility of blocking it.

The captain was very confident about this.

The mountain wind swayed, and the sky reflected in Meng Chuan's pupils was gradually swallowed up by a rapidly enlarging black dot.

He remained expressionless, then extended his right hand, his palm a pure black color.

The more concentrated the earth's energy is at a single point, the higher its defensive capabilities become.

His right hand jolted backward from the impact, and then he clenched his fist.

The spent cartridge cases turned into dust and fell down in a flurry.

Meng Chuan felt the force and nodded secretly:

"It's powerful, many times more powerful than the sniper rifle Zhao Jian used back then."
