With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 459 Core Trait Target: Ren Gui Xuanwu Undying Great Dao Scripture!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shousui said earnestly:

“Nephew, think about it. If Sect Leader Chen Tuan sends you in, what are the chances that the Great Emperor will see through your lack of sincerity and pass the throne to you?”

"."

Meng Chuan immediately realized the difference between the two; it was because "Master Han Zhongli" was on his deathbed that he sought him out first.
As for the True Martial Emperor
The Four Heavenly Kings, the Great Sage of Martial Arts, and countless Wudang martial arts masters across the mountains and plains.

The possibility of the emperor's death is almost zero.
"Moreover, what Sect Leader Chen sent you into was not the True Martial Realm, but the Xuanwu Realm."

The tortoise and snake beneath Zhenwu the Great's throne combine to form Xuanwu. The methods of these two are also part of Zhenwu's teachings, but they are not the core principles.

If you want to learn hard martial arts, the Xuanwu method should be enough for you, so don't even think about the Great Emperor's method.

The True Martial Core Method, also known as the Great Emperor's Method.

The Xuanwu Dharma Gate, like the Great Emperor's Dharma Gate, is a method of transmitting power through "incense offerings and divine bestowal".

Zhao Shousui meant that Master Chen Tuan had to cheat on both ends.

Not only did they have to get themselves arrested, they also had to "bribe" Xuanwu.
Thank you for your hard work, Master Chen Tuan.
He pondered for a moment, then voiced his thoughts and asked a few questions:
"Senior Uncle, I mainly want to learn one skill..."

Based on his experience with the Five Elements Qiankun Fist, Meng Chuan proposed a concept for a horizontal training method that cultivates core hard skills.

A few days ago, he searched the entire training section of the Sutra Repository but found nothing.

At the same time, he also asked Wang Ye to help him look for it.

Despite their best efforts, they could not find a single, universally applicable method of external martial arts training.

The level of external martial arts training he envisioned was beyond what these other martial arts could achieve.

Based on his understanding of hard-skill martial arts principles, he gained a basic understanding of a few books on hard-skill techniques, which were somewhat related to this area.

But they returned disappointed as well.

From that moment on, he knew that the martial arts technique he sought was found in Wudang.

It's either at the core of Zhenwu or in the Xuanwu method.

I proposed this idea so that my senior uncle Zhao could help me make a judgment.

If this is the core method of Zhenwu, then we should give Principal Sui a call.
In Meng Chuan's mind, Principal Sui, who was about to enter the Great Sage Realm, might have a way to help him.
For example, even the sect leader Chen Tuan couldn't bribe the emperor.

Could we bribe the Wudang sect's "True Martial Great Sage" patriarch?
Ultimately, it is the incense that makes one a god, although this may sound unpleasant.

However, the True Martial Emperor was also formed by the accumulated thoughts and power of generations of believers and the founders of Wudang, and his divine body and divine personality were later condensed by the power of incense.

There are no innate gods or Buddhas in the world; they all become gods through the offering of incense and prayers.

Meng Chuan refused to believe it. What era are we living in? Is it really that difficult to learn martial arts?
On the other side, after hearing Meng Chuan's idea, Zhao Shousui smiled and said:
"You mean you want to rely on my Taoist methods to lay the foundation for your physical training?"

"Yes, that's what it means!"

"Oh, then why do you practice so much monk-style kung fu!"

"By sheer coincidence, my senior uncle is here. Let me offer you a toast, let's drink."

Uncle Zhao changed the subject so quickly that Meng Chuan was caught off guard and felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Sigh, you were led astray before, but it's not too late for you to turn back now that you're willing to do so."
Let me think about it first. The Xuanwu Turtle General lineage is known for its many hard skills.

The Dharmakaya series is more suitable for you if you wish to lay the foundation for your physical body.

The words "Dharmakaya" piqued Meng Chuan's interest.

Breaking the limits of the Five Elements "Dharma Body" brings numerous benefits.

Moreover, the term "Dharmakaya" also carries a sense of inclusiveness and tolerance.

"The Dharma Body Horizontal Training Series ranges from the second-rate [Giant Turtle Armor Skill] to the first-rate [Baxia Supporting the Sky Skill], and even the true skill level [Xuanwu Refining True Body], as well as the [Ren Gui Xuanwu Undying Great Dao Scripture], which currently only has some chapters."

"Senior Uncle, is the last one a divine martial art of external cultivation?"

Meng Chuan asked curiously.

"That's right, but my ancestors in Wudang only started out with this unique Taoist skill."

Its conception is too profound, comparable to the famous Longxiang Prajna, making it difficult to cultivate.

As far as I know, only the Songxi Sect Master, Zhang Jingshi, has mastered this technique to the 10th level, barely reaching the proficiency stage.

Meng Chuan nodded. He had heard that this Daoist was the most powerful Heavenly King on Wudang Mountain.

It seems that besides being an expert in both fist and sword techniques, Zhang Daojun's external martial arts skills are also exceptional.
"Didn't the Great Sage Chunyang cultivate this method?"

"No, he was focused on the Emperor's lineage and was also the key to maintaining the martial arts aura of the True Martial Emperor. He was too busy with the matter of demonic contamination to pay attention to the Xuanwu method."

Meng Chuan nodded in agreement. As Uncle Zhao had just mentioned, among the eight great skills of Zhenwu, there is also a hard skill.

Zhao Shousui continued:
"Fortunately, the fundamental purpose of the Emperor's lineage's external martial arts is to 'incarnate and face calamities,' not the kind of hard martial arts you just mentioned."

Moreover, I think that with your Three Flowers Essence talent, the Xuanwu Dharma Body series is more suitable for you.

If one can reach the level of Master Zhang Jing, one's body will transform into an ancient rock, leaving only white marks no matter how powerful the divine weapons are.

Standing firm, even an earthquake could not shake it in the slightest. Its vital energy transformed into Xuanwu True Blood, each drop containing an indestructible intent. Even if its physical body shattered and collapsed, as long as a wisp of its blood essence remained, it could instantly reform.

"Zhang Daojun is too awesome."

Meng Chuan understood that this Xuanwu Dharma Body Divine Skill had not yet been mastered by Master Zhang Jingshi.

Just like the unknown blood-based hard skill in my own hands.

They're all just empty shells, waiting for future generations to fill in the gaps.

He himself is still locked in a tug-of-war with ordinary hard skills.

Zhang Daojun has already filled in the framework for the divine-level external martial arts training method, and will continue to develop it.

In comparison, I still need to work hard on my innate physical body, and I cannot be complacent because of a little achievement.

Meng Chuan calmed himself down and listened to what his senior uncle Zhao said:

"Alright, I don't know much about the Xuanwu Divine Art either, nor have I practiced any divine-level external martial arts. If you have the opportunity to learn it in the future, you can ask Zhang Daojun for guidance. I won't say any more, lest I mislead others."

"Your greatest characteristic is your humility! Your guidance is already pointing out the direction for a junior like me; it is hardly misleading."

Zhao Shousui's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes:
“Nephew, if you can speak, then speak more. Your uncle really loves to hear you speak.”

As I said before, even if you leave Wudang Mountain, feel free to ask me anything you're unsure about in the future.

Although I don't practice the Xuanwu Dharma Body, the detours I've taken and the lessons I've learned can always offer you some guidance.

Let's put aside the matter of divine skills for now and tell you in detail about the [Xuanwu Refining the True Body].

This method surpasses all the true martial arts-level external training in Taoism. Ordinary hard skills are mostly about form, merely imitating the hardness of scales and the strength of muscles and bones.

This method draws upon the essence of Xuanwu (the Black Tortoise) [who suppresses the north, governs water and fire, and unites the primordial energy], fusing the ultimate strength of heaven and earth with the unity of yin and yang to temper the physical body and achieve transcendence. What you seek—laying the foundation for your body—is precisely this.”

After listening to Uncle Zhao's introduction, Meng Chuan nodded vigorously:

"Practice, that's what we're practicing."

He felt that the Xuanwu Dharma Body series was probably the method he was looking for.

Aside from the remaining divine skills, the remaining three skills may all possess the [core trait of hard skills].

Or it could be similar to the relationship between the Five Elements Universe Fist and the Universe Method, which can help advance core traits in future practice.

On the panel: [Five Elements Gathering at the Origin (Third-Tier Core)].

When he broke through the first major limit, the Five Elements Fist technique advanced to the Five Elements Method.

At that time, the Five Qi Converging to the Origin rank must have been promoted.

Therefore, he was able to proceed smoothly and break through the Five Qi Convergence to the Origin to the third level before stopping.

"To cultivate the Xuanwu True Body, one must practice the second-rate [Giant Turtle Armor Skill] and the first-rate [Baxia Supporting the Sky Skill]. These two skills are equivalent to simplified versions of the Xuanwu True Skill, and are prerequisite hard skills."

The second-rate method, having been improved by later generations, can be practiced without the need for transmission of power from the Dharma realm. I happen to have practiced it before, so I'll teach it to you in advance.

"The latter, you should just wait for Sect Leader Chen Tuan to emerge from seclusion and take a trip through the Dharma Realm."

Meng Chuan bowed in gratitude:

"Thank you, Senior Uncle!"

From the Dragon Meditation to the cultivation of Qi and the Azure Darkness Techniques, and everything that followed on the mountain.

If Wang Ye is no longer capable, he will take care of Uncle Zhao in his old age!
Zhao Shousui smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"Alright, stop joking. Come to my place tomorrow at noon, and I'll teach you the basics. I need to prepare first."

"what to prepare?"

Second-rate hard skills aren't difficult, are they?
I'll explain it to you once, and you'll grasp the acupoints that need stimulation. Practice regulating your Qi at the Tanzhong point once or twice, and you'll be good to go.

"Prepare a third-grade True Martial staff. Don't underestimate the Giant Turtle Skill just because it's a low-level skill. Besides strengthening the five internal organs, it involves a dense array of hard acupoints on the back. I'll find one for you tomorrow, and you can practice the rest on your own."

"Senior Uncle, should we use a stick to search?"

“Oh, the True Qi Transformation Hand technique isn’t precise enough. I’ll have to use a stick to help you search carefully one by one.”

"You've worked hard."

The following afternoon, Meng Chuan left Zhao Shousui's house, rubbing his back.

Having not sparred for a while, the tingling sensation of the third-grade True Martial Staff striking his back brought back painful memories of his past experiences.
But it's all worth it.

This method is already easy to learn.

Meng Chuan simply pressed and stimulated the relevant acupoints until he reached his limit before leaving.

Looking at the panel:

[Giant Turtle Armor Skill: Beginner Level (30%) - Awaiting Breakthrough]

[Limit-Breaking Trait: Turtle Back (Low-Level)]

Breaking limits is not the core of hard skills that I need most.

But it's not a big problem; no matter how much this method is touted, it's only second-rate.

Meng Chuanben hadn't held out much hope.

It should be noted that the Five Elements Universe Fist is a top-tier fist technique among first-rate styles.

If we compare it to hard skills, then the method that contains core characteristics should be the advanced hard skill of this method.

【Baxia Supporting the Sky】.

"To cultivate the Baxia Technique, one must first complete the prerequisite cultivation of the Giant Turtle Technique. Let's start practicing then; anyway, Sect Leader Chen is still in seclusion, there's no use rushing it."

Based on today's progress in improving proficiency...

It takes three days to become proficient, and another five days to master it.

Even if the difficulty increases later, it shouldn't be a problem to complete it in about a month; it's a very easy way to cultivate.

Coming to his senses, he stood still in the courtyard, preparing to finish practicing the remaining three external martial arts techniques for the day.

Now we must first practice the Giant Turtle Skill to lay the foundation for the Overlord Skill.

Therefore, one of the spaces for the four daily combined training sessions needs to be freed up.

Meng Chuan thought for a moment, then muttered to himself:

"The training in Brahma's Prison not only improves overall quality, but also strengthens the body's endurance."

Once you break through to mastery, you can practice all five skills together, so you definitely can't stop.

The Azure Dragon Lock Body is currently attempting to break through its limits to reach the [Flower of Bone] stage, and after mastering the Treasure Elephant Golden Venerable Technique, all the hair on my body has returned.
Therefore, both are important and cannot be separated.
