With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 571 The Divine Monk Questions the Monk: The Most Urgent Need is for the Monk to Undergo Tendon and Marrow Cleansing! (6k)

Meanwhile, far away in Yong'an, on Mount Li.

Office of the North United University.

Chen Qiushui put away her phone, feeling much more relaxed.

She is Meng Chuan's on-campus mentor. In the national talent pool, the two have a teacher-student relationship and can view the student's recent activities.

[Meng Chuan: Online (No tasks)]

Seeing that he had returned safely from the demon's lair, the mission was complete, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This kid is strong enough, and his progress is frighteningly fast, but he loves to take risks and is always a worry."

Chen Qiushui heard that this mission was unusual, and that someone in their team had even sacrificed their life.

These are national talents, absolute seeds of excellence, and potential superstars; they would be treasures in any school.

She shook her head, unable to speak.

Towering trees don't grow in greenhouses, and pillars of society don't thrive in honey pots.

Meng Chuan's journey has been fraught with bloodshed and turmoil.
Three days later, at the Platform Garden.

Meng Chuanzhou exuded a powerful and imposing aura.

He was sitting cross-legged on the floor inside the room, meditating and practicing.

Principal Sui is still making breakthroughs, and two suns hang high in the sky.

It's noon now, and it's too hot outside.
As his cultivation deepened, his expression suddenly shifted; it was Master Bai Bao from next door transmitting a message to him:

"Xiao Meng, come here for a moment."

He immediately interrupted the operation of the core method and waited for his qi and blood to calm down.

My senses extended outside the door, and after a moment, I understood.

"It must be some kind of national leader who has come."

The first thing they did was go to Master Bai Bao's place, which most likely means that he is a person from Shaolin Temple who holds a government position.

Now we live in a new era, and the distinction between "government" and "martial arts world" has long since disappeared.

Whether it's the Four Directions Alliance or other elite martial arts masters who graduated from top-tier martial arts universities, many choose to take up positions in national institutions.

For example, Shi Cheng, the garrison commander of Fengdeng City, is such a person.

Before leaving, Meng Chuan took one last look at the panel:
[Demon Seed in the Dao Heart: Level 8 (49%) → (50%)]

Half the proficiency is still needed; eight levels of perfection.

At that time, one of the conditions for breaking through the third major limit will be met: the core martial arts principles will be up to standard.

He estimated that it would be completed within two months.

Looking at it now, the only thing I lack is Qi and blood. So, it seems there's no problem for me to break through to the third level before the Dawn Martial Arts Competition.

Before the start of the [Dawn Martial Arts Tournament], breaking through the limits of the Blood Exchange Body Tempering Method shouldn't be a big problem.

At that time, you can try to integrate it with Azure Dragon Lock and Qi Cultivation Armor.

With the help of the [Dragon Meditation] secret method, let's see what kind of martial art can be created to solve the problem of body control.

The fourth major limit in martial arts is a watershed moment, hence it is called "Grandmaster".

The most significant difference between a grandmaster and a great master lies in the fact that true qi can transform into protective qi as the body changes again.

The power of true qi is self-evident.

Meng Chuan estimated that his martial arts cultivation level of breaking through to the third level was far from enough.

They certainly cannot match a genius master like Liao Huo from Shaolin Temple.

He left the pass the day before yesterday and successfully broke through the barrier.

Meng Chuanzeng observed from afar and judged its imposing presence as extremely formidable.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu when facing his homeroom teacher, Chen Qiushui.
He himself is a "martial arts genius," and Liao Huo is also a top genius of Shaolin Temple.

After breaking through to the fourth level, he naturally became a master among grandmasters, unmatched by ordinary fourth-level grandmasters, even those who had just entered the realm.

I want to defeat such a terrifying opponent during the morning martial arts competition.
In addition to further enhancing Qi and Blood, acquire powerful combat-related traits.

Only by completely controlling the body, controlling the final liberation, and even pushing it to the 500% liberation limit, can one attempt to contend with such a powerful being.

After a short while, Meng Chuan stopped thinking about anything else and went to Master Bai Bao's residence.

Hall.

Before Meng Chuan even stepped inside, he sensed two powerful auras.

The former is familiar, Master Bai Bao.

He was not familiar with the latter, but he was on par with Bai Bao.

Meng Chuan understood immediately. As expected of the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism, this was also a martial arts master from Shaolin Temple.

If Wudang has several Heavenly Kings as its leaders, it wouldn't be surprising if Shaolin had a few more divine monks.

After all, these major sects have deep foundations, and it will take time for the Four Directions Alliance to catch up.

Stepping inside, the light overhead was dazzling, and Meng Chuan smiled knowingly.

You guessed right.
Bai Bao sat cross-legged at the head of the table. Seeing Meng Chuan enter, he smiled and said:
"Xiao Meng, please sit down. Let me introduce you. This is the famous [Flawless Divine Monk Miao Yanwu], currently the youngest martial arts king in Buddhism."

He's also my junior brother, so there's no need to be so formal.

Bai Bao clarified his identity and purpose to put Meng Chuan at ease.

He sensed that Meng Chuan was somewhat worried, and assumed that he was concerned that he would be held accountable if Yuan died during the mission.

In reality, Meng Chuan was pondering how to deal with Huo.
On the other side, seeing his senior brother praising him in front of the younger generation, the monk Wulou beside Bai Bao did not react.

He simply smiled faintly and clasped his hands together in a gesture towards Meng Chuanxu.

Meng Chuan then realized what was happening and was startled.

The so-called "superior leader" was actually the legendary high monk standing before him.
He had already read about this monk online.

The monk Wulou possesses the same Buddha-heart as Abbot Xuanmou and the top-tier quality of "Wulou Samadhi" (the state of perfect concentration). After ninety-nine years of cultivation, he has reached the sixth major limit.

The Three Flowers God is also the foundation of the Primordial Glazed God.

What is meant by "no leakage"?

It means to completely eliminate afflictions, avoid falling into the cycle of reincarnation, and have a pure and clear mind, free from all suffering.

He is also hailed as the most promising candidate for becoming a living Buddha in Shaolin Temple since Abbot Xuanmou.

Meng Chuan was a little surprised to meet this legendary figure today, and quickly bowed in greeting:

"Greetings, Master Bai Bao. Meng Chuan greets the Venerable Monk Wulou."

He and the latter were not familiar with each other, so he didn't try to establish a connection.

Bai Bao glanced at his junior brother and said:
"Then senior brother, please go and leave. I'll leave this room to you."

The monk Wulou waved his hand:

"It's alright, it's not a secret. Please feel free to listen in, senior brother."

Upon hearing this, Meng Chuan felt reassured.

Judging from the scene and the tone of the monk Wulou, today's proceedings are not like an interrogation of a prisoner, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

It's perfectly normal for martial artists to die in a demon's lair.

However, as the mission leader and as a national talent team member, he and Liaoyuan both had "special status".

Therefore, someone will come to inquire whether it is still the Martial Arts King.

The death of any talented individual in a country is a loss to the country's development; this is beyond doubt.

Meng Chuangan sat opposite the monk Wulou and looked at him for the first time.

Immediately, I passively sensed the golden Buddhist light that was clearly hidden within my body, yet the sensory feedback was as vast as the ocean.

The Buddha's power was overwhelming, and Meng Chuan felt somewhat uneasy for a moment, but then he heard the other party say:

"Don't be nervous. I was investigating Yuan's death during the mission as the [Eastern Alternate Guardian]."

At the same time, you only need to know the details of the mission and tell the truth.

Huijue told me beforehand that he had informed you I was coming to find you; by the way, he is my personal disciple.

Meng Chuan suddenly realized why Master Huijue knew the inside story in advance.

Not a family, do not enter the door.

Both are recognized as martial arts prodigies and Buddhist disciples, and it is perfectly normal for them to be of the same lineage.

Coming to his senses, Meng Chuan said seriously:

"Understood, Meng Chuan will certainly tell you everything he knows."

He never expected that the Buddhist monks who had attained perfect enlightenment would also have the identity of being a candidate for guardianship.

Currently serving as the guardian of the Eastern Garrison, his honorific title is [Huaihai Dragon King Cui Yunyu].

She is quite old and was the first principal of the Eastern United University when it was founded. She is a martial arts grandmaster and her lifespan is second only to the living fossil of the Great Chu Dynasty. [Divine Strategist Zhao Yingchun]

If this great-grandmother wishes to remain in seclusion for an extended period to break through the seven-year mark, or if she is old and lacks energy.

The monk Wulou served as a substitute, taking over the guard position.

"please say."

Wu Lou nodded slightly, without revealing his expression.

Seeing that he didn't need to avoid the situation, Bai Bao sat down to the side and listened.

Meng Chuan began by explaining the basics of entering the Demon's Nest, and the two listened with nodding in agreement from time to time.

The monk Wulou, in particular, was somewhat surprised.

The way this kid tells the story is like he's making it up.
If one doesn't know the details, it's indeed quite hard to accept.
Kill the Flame Giant first, then kill the Tiger Demon.

These are all powerful figures among the third-tier Great Demons.

How can a body with two limitations be so strong?
No wonder he became the mission leader; there's definitely something fishy about him, something eerie.
Bai Bao sat calmly opposite him, his emotions not fluctuating much.

Knowing Meng Chuan's "unusual" nature, they were not surprised that he could repeatedly defy the demons in the Demon Nest.

"Junior Brother Wulou, what do you think of this boy? Does he have the flair you had back then?"

The monk Wulou nodded with a smile, muttering to himself.

"Whether I had this kind of style back then, senior brother, you don't know."
"Who can kill a third-tier tiger demon in a one-on-one duel during the second major time limit?"

The Tiger Demons, a race of demons, are equivalent to martial arts geniuses among humans.

It's difficult for an average person to win against someone of equal rank, let alone someone of lower rank to defeat someone of higher rank.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Chuan was about to get to the point, so he took out a small bronze umbrella.

Upon the appearance of this object, both Bai Bao and Wu Lou instantly tensed up.

The two exchanged a glance, and Bai Bao waved his hand, and the small umbrella landed in his hand.

The umbrella slipped from his hand, but Meng Chuan wasn't in a hurry.

Master Bai Bao is not an outsider.

The purpose of taking out this item was to explain the cause of Yuan's death, and at the same time, to take the opportunity to learn about Duowen and some secrets about this umbrella.

At the same time, showing this item to the high-ranking members of the Buddhist community can be considered as getting some recognition from the Buddha.

When I become the ruler of Beiju Luzhou in the future, I won't let the flood wash away the Dragon King's temple.
Bai Bao held the umbrella up with one hand, and it slowly floated up in his palm, with scattered gold dust rising from between his fingers and swirling around the umbrella.

"This item has been lost for a long time. I remember it was taken by that person from the Taihang Mountains."

When Master Bai Bao spoke, Meng Chuan instantly focused his attention and listened intently.

The word “又” contains a lot of information.

This shows that many immortals and Buddhas lost their lives at his hands.

It seems the mountains whispered to this old demon, showing a remarkable ability to corrupt the spirits and deities of the immortals.
Meng Chuan then speculated that the reason why it was able to awaken from the Demon Nest so quickly, and was even about to break through the dimensional shackles and step out of the Demon Nest, was mostly due to this.

The grand Taoist ritual is imminent.

Perhaps it's because his rampant demonic influence on immortals and Buddhas caused his growth rate to be too fast?

In an instant, a multitude of thoughts surfaced in Meng Chuan's mind.

"Master Bai Bao, Shaolin already knew about the matter of the Heavenly King Duowen being corrupted by demons?" Bai Bao nodded and sighed.
"Yes, but we are truly powerless to help."

The whispering mountains personally intervened, invading the Buddha's realm and seizing control of the Northern Continent. Not only the Heavenly King Vaishravana, but all the gods who had long resided in the Northern Continent were devoured and corrupted by his minions.

All we can do is strengthen the defenses of the other three continents within the realm, but this is a battle on a psychological level, and we are still far from being able to win.”

Upon hearing what Master Bai Bao said, Meng Chuan seemed to be deep in thought.

Taoism and Buddhism have never been on the same page, yet Shaolin agreed to the Taihang Grand Ceremony so readily, almost like a full-scale attack.

Aside from the desire for peace and tranquility on earth, it seems they were forced into this situation with no other choice.
Of the four continents of the Saha world, the loss of Uttarakuru is just the beginning.

If the whispers of the mountains are not restrained, they will be allowed to plunder at will.

Ultimately, it will surely threaten Mount Sumeru, the sacred mountain where Buddha resides.

Today we cede five cities, tomorrow we cede ten, and yet we can only sleep peacefully for one night.
With the Buddha gone, Buddhism has no reason to exist, which is why Shaolin reacted this way.

The monks were the most anxious.

If you can't win on a spiritual level, then eliminate them on a physical level.
Just then, Meng Chuan heard the Venerable Monk Wulou speak from the side:
"The Primordial Pearl Umbrella of the Heavenly King of Many Hearings, young benefactor, was found in the Crimson Demon's Nest?"

Upon witnessing this scene, Wu Lou couldn't help but ask a question.

At the same time, he also understood in his heart how Liaoyuan had died.
The group was unlucky enough to encounter the Great Demon of Taihang, who was corrupted by demonic influence.

It's a miracle they weren't wiped out.

However, it remains to be seen how the group escaped, and how Meng Chuan obtained the core of Duowen's faith.

How did the Taihang Great Demon appear in the Level Two Crimson Demon Nest?
These questions filled Wu Lou's mind.

Most importantly, how did these people get out?
It's not that the monk Wulou underestimated them.

The Demon of Many Hearings is the number one minion under the command of the Whispers of the Mountains.

Even if this old demon were to descend with a divided soul, these few youngsters would still be no match for him.

Meng Chuan took a deep breath and recounted the events in detail, starting from when he entered the cave and fell into the Dharma Realm, and continuing until he killed the divided soul of the Crimson Clan Uncle.

"In the end, I sacrificed myself to feed the demon, rushed into its body, destroyed its demonic body from the inside, and seized the Chaos Pearl Umbrella."

Throughout the entire process, aside from the demonic energy, he revealed almost everything.

The fact that the Dragon Demon can devour spiritual energy is no secret.

Moreover, Liao Chen and the others were also eyewitnesses; it couldn't be kept secret.

In the era of Qi and Blood Martial Arts, anything is possible, so this is nothing surprising.

"Although we did not witness it with our own eyes, we speculate that Master Liaoyuan was killed by him."

Upon hearing what Meng Chuan said, the two monks nodded silently.

This child possesses such a fortuitous encounter with a sentient being, coupled with strength far exceeding the second limit.
Defeating that demon's clone is still rather unusual.
Of the two, the monk Wulou was the most outstanding.

His face showed extreme surprise, and his heart was filled with shock.

It sounds simple: kill him inside the Heavenly Demon's body.

How many people can do that? And how many of them go in and come out unscathed?
He hadn't lost his composure like this in a long time since he became a world-class superstar.

Meng Chuan's cultivation level is limited, and he must not only overcome the immense pressure of Mount Sumeru shaped by the Dharma Realm.

And under such circumstances, he also had to kill the nearly invincible Heavenly Demon Marshal Chiyan's clone.

The martial arts also require a sense of fate and destiny; isn't that just a fantasy?

how is this possible
Anyway, he's on the second limit.
No, it's impossible even at the third major limit!
Looking at the small bronze umbrella in Bai Bao's hand finally brought him back to reality and made him believe in reality.
"Ahem. Young benefactor Meng, this humble monk understands."

The so-called fragment of the Crimson Clan Uncle that you killed was actually the Heavenly Demon Marshal under the Whispering Mountains, whose name was Crimson Sorrow.

Besides that, is there anything else you'd like to add?

The monk Wulou hoped that Meng Chuan could explain the details in more detail.

This is not a national requirement; it's just to satisfy personal curiosity.

"Divine Monk, how many special battle merits is the Heavenly Demon Marshal's divided soul worth?"

Meng Chuan only cared about this.
"It is only a fragment of the soul and cannot be recorded by the battle merit jade talisman, but this humble monk can help you report it."

It should be awarded the maximum reward, based on the value of a third-tier Grand Demon.

".All right."

That's one hundred special battle merits.

Items valued at over three digits are all powerful Heavenly Demons of the fourth rank or above.

Strictly speaking, this Chiyan split soul is indeed not qualified.

Meng Chuan looked quite regretful. He had previously been fantasizing about getting several thousand special battle merits to help the Dawn Divine Sword.

It seems I was overthinking it.
However, he was not discouraged, as it was within his expectations.

If it weren't for the immense pressure of Mount Sumeru, there would still be many peak-level experts capable of defeating this demon.

Special military achievements are precious; they are not so easy to obtain.

Seeing that Meng Chuan would not say anything more and was unwilling to reveal the details of the kill.

The monk Wulou did not force him.

He then inquired about the ownership of the Hunyuan Pearl Umbrella:
“Young Master Meng, would you be willing to return this umbrella to the Buddhist temple?”

Our temple can exchange it for third-grade treasures, or for precious armor and True Martial Arts.

Meng Chuan pretended to hesitate and said:
I'll keep it for now.

Once the physical body breaks through the dimensional barriers and enters the umbrella along with the soul, one can use the immense pressure of the "Little Mount Sumeru" to cultivate hard skills.

The value of this item far surpasses that of a mere third-grade item.

Even if you offered him a divine artifact in exchange, it wouldn't work.

But let him explain why he left this item.
Meng Chuan couldn't make it up.
Telling the monk Wulou that he could enter the Dharma Realm through what Chiyan called "destruction, divine power, and divine authority" and seize it for himself is a bit of a fantasy.
Meng Chuan knew clearly that Chi Yan's words were actually a kind of demonic energy.

The divine skill of "Cultivating Demons in the Heart of the Dao" has become increasingly complex and must be kept secret; this is beyond doubt.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

At the very least, they need to figure out what the "jade disc" in their own and their master's hands, which is what Chi Yan calls divine power and authority, is, before deciding whether to expose it.

“This humble monk understands.”

The monk Wulou nodded without asking why.

Vaisravana vanished completely, and even the Buddha could not save him; this demonic contamination was irreversible.

The mountains whispered, severing Beiju Luzhou, a permanent and irreversible loss.

His desire to keep this item stemmed from his lingering thoughts of the day he "attained divine enlightenment."
With Liaoyuan's cause of death clear, Meng Chuan's report on his duties concluded.

The Venerable Monk Wulou had many affairs to attend to, so he left first.

After seeing the Heavenly King to the door, Meng Chuan returned to the main hall and bid farewell to Master Bai Bao.

The trip to the Demon Nest was very fruitful, but it did take up a lot of time.

These days, he also needs to focus on his spiritual practice and catch up on Buddhist teachings.

"Master Bai Bao, if there's nothing else, I'll go practice my skills now."

Bai Bao nodded, then smiled and said:
“A few days ago, I met Abbot Xuanmou and he spoke highly of you. The Great Sage of Martial Arts also praised you highly.”

"You flatter me."

Meng Chuan stood there, a hint of joy on his face.

Being able to show one's face in front of the Great Sage is a great honor.

"I've already told you about your desire to learn the Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing."

Here, take this. It is the original secret method, with annotations by eminent monks throughout history. You can return it before leaving Shaolin.

Take good care of it; damage can't be compensated for with a billion dollars.

"clear."

Master Bai Bao's words were a joke about Bai Bao destroying the Martial Monks Academy.
Meng Chuan was rather embarrassed to accept it, so he put it into his waist token and would study it later.

Before turning to leave, he couldn't help but ask:

"Master Bai Bao, did the abbot say that he saw the person representing the future?"

Beneath the Dragon Flower Tree, we will obtain the fruit of the future Buddha.

Meng Chuan was also quite curious about whether he needed to "break the prophecy" theory.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing out of the hall, pushing him away.

Helpless, Meng Chuan bid farewell to Master Bai Bao and disappeared into the courtyard with the wind.

Bai Bao watched his retreating figure and chuckled, muttering a curse:
"You brat, you're getting carried away again."

Of course he asked on Meng Chuan's behalf, but...
Some things lose their effectiveness once the abbot says them.

In Buddhist terms, it is exactly—

The Buddha said: It cannot be spoken.
Back in his room, Meng Chuan was still wondering to himself if Master Bai Bao hadn't asked for him.
Meng Chuan pondered in the end:

"Even if the abbot didn't see me, it just means that he's not quite there yet and couldn't see my efforts."
Of course, they can't see through my cheating.

Forget it, don’t worry about it anymore.

Meng Chuan snapped out of his daze and made a single gesture with one hand.

He took out the two famous secret manuals of Shaolin Temple that Master Bai Bao had just given him.

Yi Jin and Xi Sui.

Both are thread-bound ancient books, and very thin.

Flipping through a couple of pages, all I found were obscure Buddhist sayings.

Fortunately, there are commentaries by eminent Buddhist monks throughout history. With careful study, one can understand them.

This is why studying Buddhist principles is so important.

After removing a large number of illustrations, each book contains no more than a thousand words.

You must study it yourself and develop it into a secret method of ten thousand characters before you can practice it.
Of course, there is also a more natural "translated version" on the official website of the Wushu Association, which is the so-called unofficial version.

Such a deficiency is so great that the effectiveness of cultivation is almost nonexistent.

It can only be provided to those born with inferior aptitude, and even those with medium to low aptitude cannot reach that level through cultivation.

In addition, a large amount of medicinal herbs are needed; otherwise, it still won't work.

This kind of incomplete version often comes from wealthy people who have a child with extremely poor talent, and they only go to study because they want to defy fate.
He wouldn't have needed it originally, because even if he hadn't died, he was born with below-average physical attributes.
Now, I have acquired superior physical constitution.

If you want to push yourself to the highest level of physical constitution, you naturally need to learn the original principles.

The sky had darkened, and only Principal Sui's Great Sun Furnace-like form hung high in the sky, faintly glowing.

"I wonder how long it will take to break through to the Great Saint realm."

He was only annoyed that he couldn't fly up to observe more closely and could only wait on the ground.

Putting aside his thoughts, Meng Chuan began to devote himself intensively to practicing the new method.

Liver surgery!
A week passed, and time seemed to fly by in the midst of the fistfight.

On this day, Meng Chuan practiced boxing casually.

The style of the punches is wide and sweeping, clearly belonging to the Changquan (Long Fist) school.

The energy flowed with his movements, trailing like an old man's long eyebrows.

Strands of white mist swirled around his body, and as he settled into his stance, a radiant glow emanated from his panel.

Meng Chuan finished his stance and stood still, sighing:
"The [Dawn and Dusk Enlightenment] technique has suddenly appeared, and since it's not suitable to practice the Five Elements Fist on the mountain, this method is quite convenient."

The second-rate Shaolin Long Eyebrow Fist is only 40% away from breaking through the limit.

He simply took advantage of the moment of enlightenment to fill himself up and graduate with a boxing style.

It has already been agreed with the Dragon Subduer that there is no need to use the Arhat Fist to summon the Arhats.

However, at least this method breaks through a mid-level trait, and it is also related to lifespan.

Meng Chuan was naturally curious about what the effect would be.

Externally, his eyebrows, following the breakthrough of his fist technique, felt a slight itch as he gained the special ability.
