With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 494 Nine Heavens Respond to the Origin! The Heart is Thunder Treasury!
He reflected on what was more important and what was less important.

Meng Chuan's thinking was quite clear at this moment.

After my comprehension improved, it seemed that I didn't need to think much; I understood everything all at once.

Immediately afterwards, he pondered his initial purpose of "drawing lightning into his body".

Learn the second-state transformation method of the Mad Old Taoist in the Battle Soul Space, in the world of [Five Thunderbolts].

His Demon-Subduing Thunder True Qi was already not much different from real thunder.

As long as the internal energy in the spring does not dry up, it can be drawn upon at any time to cleave oneself.
He had been dealt with more than ten times by the Mad Old Taoist in his second state.

We have made some progress in learning the methods of the "enemy".

Now, with his increased comprehension, Meng Chuan believed that with his current intelligence, he would master it in no time.
Later, they went to Shaolin Temple, and even to Shanxi to fish for Fang Jianxing to emerge from his cave.

During the process, the demonic forces would inevitably pursue and intercept them.

Having another method would make things safer.

He guessed that once he mastered the mad Taoist's transformation method...

At that time, his ultimate form will be revealed.

He transformed into a "Thunder Armor Giant," raising the upper limit of his combat power once again.

With this thought in mind, Meng Chuan couldn't wait to go to the Battle Soul Space to learn from the master.

However, after honing his mental strength for several days, he had suffered considerable losses in the True Martial Thunder.

This is the burning of the [soul], the spiritual energy consumed by the candlelight.

It needs to be nourished and replenished by physical strength.

He thought about it and decided to wait until he recovered a bit before going to meet the mad old Taoist.

At this moment, the Dragon Meditation Secret Technique was perfected, and the True Martial Thunder Refinement was completed.

He pondered for a moment, reflecting on the experience again:

"My trip to Wudang has almost come to a perfect end. But before that, there is one more thing I need to do."

That is, to empty as many Taoist scriptures as possible from the [Huangjing Pavilion].

He definitely wouldn't dare to put it in his own name tag.
Instead, they relied on rote memorization of the Taoist scriptures, believing that "one certificate is eternal proof," and simply transferred them into their own minds.

The Taoist scriptures contain hidden mysteries.

Aside from Taoist martial arts principles, there are many other sayings that are beneficial to martial arts.

According to Senior Uncle Zhao:
"Taoist scriptures are the foundation, revealing the principles of Yin and Yang. Martial arts are the application, transforming philosophy into fist techniques. Only when the two are in harmony can one attain the true realm of martial arts."

It is also the "True Martial Realm" revered by all of Wudang.

He didn't think of this level of understanding as being so complicated.

I just thought that since I couldn't understand many of the Taoist scriptures, I would store them in my mind for now.

If needed in the future, I can use it to digest and understand it.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past few days, Wang Ye has accompanied Meng Chuan as he transported the Taoist scriptures.

He was currently reading a Taoist scripture called the "Ziwei Xuandu Thunder True Scripture".

Legend has it that the scripture was received by the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation of Thunder and Lightning of the Nine Heavens, and is known as the Ancestral Scripture of Divine Firmament Thunder Law.

In fact, this scripture was left to circulate among people by Wang Wenqing, the patriarch of the Shenxiao Sect in the ancient martial arts era.

The ancient martial arts of the Shenxiao Sect, the "Five Thunder Orthodox Method," all originated from this scripture and were subsequently created by later generations.

The scriptures say that thunder is the pivot of heaven and earth, capable of rewarding and punishing good and evil, and in charge of life, death, and decay.

Meng Chuan read with great interest, gaining much insight by combining it with his newly acquired thunderous power.

".
My cultivation and realization: The mind is both supremely strong and supremely gentle, a hidden thunder within. Thunder is the function of the mind. The so-called Five Thunder True Method is not about seeking thunder externally, but about cultivating the thunder within the mind!
If the mind is clear, a spark of true yang will naturally arise, like a seed encountering spring, sprouting into thunder. If the mind is clouded, the true yang will sink and become obscured, like dead ashes without a flame.

"

The more Meng Chuan read, the more moved he became, marveling at the wisdom of the ancients.

Its main focus is on the internal and external thunder magic and the concepts of good and evil, compassion and mercy.

He discarded those esoteric words and tried to understand what he could comprehend.

Avoiding getting stuck on trivial details and preventing inner demons from arising is also a form of "enlightenment".

Meanwhile, Wang Ye, who was standing to the side, was getting increasingly anxious seeing him shaking his head and reciting a Taoist scripture.
"Brother Meng, what exactly have you realized? Tell me quickly!"

These past few days, Wang Ye has been studying Taoist scriptures with Meng Chuan.

He discovered that Meng Chuan's Taoist comprehension was truly formidable.

Many things that he didn't understand, Meng Chuan was able to figure out in a different way.

I also benefited greatly from telling him about it.

Even today, he sometimes wonders which of the two is the true Taoist priest.
At this moment, Meng Chuan was still immersed in the world of the Daoist scriptures and ignored Wang Ye.

After studying it several times, he already had a plan in mind:
"The thunder within seeks nothing from external things; the Five Thunders Righteous Method brings the Five Thunders to your head."

From this Thunder Scripture, he seemed to have found the path to breaking through limits after the [Five Thunderbolts] technique was perfected.

He had already memorized the contents of the scriptures, and by reflecting on them during his leisure time, he could gradually comprehend the true meaning of thunder magic.

Like being struck by lightning, he deduced his vision.

Seeing Wang Ye's flustered appearance, Meng Chuan closed the scroll, laughed loudly, and left.

The Dao says: It cannot be spoken!

The inner turmoil must be resolved by oneself.

He said that this is "attachment to appearances".

"Gan!"

Wang Ye sighed indignantly and quickly took the Thunder Ancestor Scripture from Meng Chuan's hand.

I looked through it repeatedly, but didn't really understand it.

He guessed that his brows were dark because he did not practice thunder magic.

He is not as good as Meng Chuan, that "fake Taoist priest".

Having thought this through, I no longer hesitated.

"Master, I want to learn thunder magic!"

He bid farewell to Wang Ye and left the Huangjing Pavilion.

Meng Chuan returned indoors and sat in meditation. His mental strength had fully recovered today, and he had also received enlightenment from "Lei Zu".

Now is the perfect time to deal with the mad Taoist priest!

By breaking through the ancient martial arts world within the battle spirit space, one can gain a great deal of insight into the martial arts techniques, thereby significantly improving one's proficiency in martial arts.

Just like back in the world of imagination, when I was repeatedly pulled in and out of control with Qi Shuai.

The learning process allows one to gradually accumulate martial arts experience.

When you "clear the level", you suddenly unleash your accumulated knowledge and gain enlightenment in one fell swoop.

He slowly adjusted his breathing and calmed his mind.

"There's also the Mad Old Taoist's second state, and the transformation technique where Nare enters the body to stimulate the physical form."

He absolutely must learn this method!

He could transform the mad old Taoist priest, a "weak mage," into a melee lightning king in an instant.

If it were me, who is naturally skilled in close-quarters combat...

It took off again.
Next, Meng Chuan skillfully manipulated the mysterious symbol on the inside of his wrist.

The pale red lines of the symbol were faintly visible, and a glimmer of mysterious light vanished in an instant.

The next moment, he arrived at the [Battle Soul Space].

From the outside, his physical body at this moment looks as if he is sitting cross-legged in a dream, asleep.

The soul wanders aimlessly, leaving only the body rooted in place, serving as the anchor of reality.

The room was unusually quiet, with only the faint sound of breathing, sometimes heavy and sometimes light.

Meng Chuan once again stepped into the familiar world of Five Thunderbolts.

Lead-like clouds rolled overhead.

With a muffled thud, a thunderous python with its blood-red maw gaping open plummeted from the clouds.

He smiled knowingly. It was the same old three tricks he'd used as soon as he entered: the familiar "welcoming thunder" tactic.

This time, Meng Chuan walked straight in without any attempt to dodge.

He was enveloped in a shimmering blue light, which condensed and turned purple the instant the lightning struck.

In an instant, in this somewhat dim world, the lightning from the collision of the two was dazzling, illuminating the area around Meng Chuan.

The mountain top in the distance.

The seemingly mad old Taoist priest looked somewhat surprised upon seeing this scene.

His face was somewhat distorted, revealing a mechanical, unnatural look of astonishment.

The lightning strikes that wretched creature.

It melted and disintegrated rapidly, just like ice and snow being exposed to the blazing sun.

Down the mountain.

Meng Chuan was quite satisfied with this scene.

If he hadn't dodged, he would have used countless powerful techniques to withstand the attack head-on, consuming most of its power before he could use his own lightning-attribute aura to resist and neutralize it.

Now, he only needs to use "Thunderous True Qi" to protect his body to completely annihilate the thunderous attacks from the old Taoist, just like a superior crushing an inferior.

It sounds easy to say that you can do this, but it is actually quite difficult in practice.

The source of this kind of true energy comes from the abnormality of the spring.

Only a lightning-attribute treasure of at least the fourth rank is qualified to achieve this level of transformation.

Moreover, one must protect the body and ensure that "qi flows throughout the body".

The size of the springs of ordinary martial arts masters is limited, making it virtually impossible for them to achieve this.

It can only be said that the techniques he casually displays now are beyond the second level.

The storm gathers and disperses, and the dust vanishes into nothingness.

Unlike before, Meng Chuan did not choose to rush forward while the dust from the lightning strikes had not yet settled.

Instead, he stood still and waited, his fists still glowing with a blue-purple light, and his whole body seemed to be steaming and emitting heat, as if an engine was running.

He wanted to leave an opening so that the old Taoist could use his full strength to observe all of the other's techniques.

"This mad old Taoist priest is based on a famous Qi Refiner from the Shenxiao Sect in the ancient martial arts era."

Only by understanding the thunder within one's own heart can one summon the thunder of heaven and earth to temper one's body and unleash its power.

Because of his erratic and eccentric behavior and speech.

He didn't know exactly who it was, the ancient martial arts master who left traces in the human world.

Struck by lightning, its lineage is now impossible to trace.

Therefore, the original martial arts manual containing the true essence of martial arts ended up in the hands of Professor Li Zhenyue, the "Five Elements Supreme Master".

These thoughts flashed by like lightning.

He looked up abruptly, and what followed was a barrage of countless bolts of lightning, each carrying an aura of destruction. Meng Chuan stood there, his figure reduced to a deep silhouette amidst the bombardment of lightning.

The old Taoist priest stared at him from afar, his right hand remaining in a raised, outstretched position with five fingers spread.

After waiting for a while, he slowly walked out of the "thunderstorm zone".

Still completely unharmed!
With a light tap of his toes, Meng Chuan instantly glided to the foot of the mountain, putting pressure on the old Taoist and urging him to "transform" quickly.

He saw on the mountaintop that the old Taoist's eyebrows were twisted upwards and downwards, his expression strange and seemingly full of doubt.

A faint light suddenly rose from his dusty body. He observed this scene carefully, and the light seemed to be blown by the wind, becoming as bright as if it were burning.

Meng Chuan pondered the [Ziwei Xuandu Thunder Jade Scripture] and suddenly had an idea.

It is truly thunder between heaven and earth, originating from within.

"The mind is the Thunder Treasury."

Its philosophy is the same as that described in the scriptures.

It is not about seeking external thunder from heaven and earth, but about "cultivating inner thunder."

His understanding is similar to the visualization method.

I had previously misunderstood the primary and secondary relationship between Thunder and myself.

"Like a seed encountering spring, it sprouts like thunder; but if the mind is clouded and confused..."

"The process of drawing lightning into the body should be guided by myself and my heart, rather than by the lightning itself."
