With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 591 Qi and Blood Surge! Three Flowers Gather at the Top! Crimson Soul Banner! (6k)

Meng Chuan said frankly:

[Three golden crows appeared in the sky above my inner world, spinning around in the air.]

【Huh? You broke 3? When?】

On the other end of the phone, Yang Huan sounded somewhat surprised.

Only by breaking through the third level of martial arts can one open up the inner landscape of the body.

I remember that Meng Chuan broke through the second level, which should have been less than a year ago.

To have already reached the level of a master of the three limits—isn't that a bit too outrageous?
Yang Huan vaguely remembered that even the Great Sage Zhao Linyuan hadn't progressed this quickly back then.

Meng Chuan shook his head:

【not yet. 】

I knew it! Zhao Linyuan's record wouldn't be broken so easily.
Immediately, Yang Huan's expression turned thoughtful:
That is the progress of martial arts, which far exceeds the progress of cultivation.

Did this cause your Wuli Mountain to appear ahead of schedule, allowing the interior landscape to begin to take shape?

Yes, the students' martial arts techniques and principles have reached the level of "self-awareness."

As expected of someone in education, Meng Chuan admires him; his insightful observation is spot on.

Yang Huan's tone was satisfied:

[That's good. If you can achieve this, at least when you break through the three limits, there won't be any unexpected problems.]

Breaking through martial arts realms is not child's play.

The further you progress in your cultivation, the greater the "punishment" becomes for any failed breakthroughs.

It's fortunate that he failed to break through to the Martial Arts Master realm and suffered a severe blow to his vital energy.

It is not uncommon to see cases of severed meridians.

Further cultivation, each breakthrough is a test of facing death to be reborn.

Many elderly masters and grandmasters remain stuck at their peak.

It's not that there's no opportunity or inability to break through, but rather that there's no courage.
Those within the family know their own situation; they each have a clear idea of ​​their chances of successfully breaking through to the next level.

Yang Huan praised him, then went on to explain what was inside his inner world.

The substance within you is indeed a gift from Principal Sui, manifested in your inner landscape.

It was his own unique quality, a wisp of true solar fire refined into the phantom image of a golden crow embracing a cinnabar pill.

The specific benefits are a long story, and must be explained starting with the personal cultivation of martial arts masters.

We would like to ask Principal Yang to clarify the students' doubts.

Meng Chuan was overjoyed. He was not far from breaking through to the third level. He had originally planned to visit his master's wife and then go up the mountain to ask Master Chen about this matter.

It would be even better if a venerable master were to give a lecture today.

Yang Huan recounted in detail:

[Once the celestial dome is formed, the inner landscape opens, and the three limits are entered, this is the normal process.]

After breaking through the third level, the direction of Xingyi Zhuang Gong training is to strengthen the connection between the internal celestial dome and the inner landscape.

In concrete terms, it means that through the extension of the meridians, they are brought closer together until the celestial dome becomes the sky of the inner landscape, and the inner landscape becomes the earth of the celestial dome, and the two are indistinguishable.

Then the final process of the ground pile is completed, achieving one of the prerequisites for the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

Furthermore, the cultivation of Qi and blood is still embodied in the martial arts cosmos. When the 361 star acupoints are perfected, Qi and blood are used to depict the interconnected star orbits.

This is a massive undertaking. Everyone's meridian pathways and blood and qi requirements are different. You can personally experience how much blood and qi you need to condense after breaking through your current level. The completion of the entire meridian pathway outlined by blood and qi signifies the perfection of your three-limit blood and qi cultivation.

Meng Chuan understood what Yang Huan meant.

He summarized it as practicing standing meditation, which allows the inner vision to merge with the heavens.

Cultivating Qi and Blood will continue to fill the martial arts sky.

Let the star trails, like the stars, illuminate the night sky.

Therefore, the cultivation of Qi and blood and meridians in the third stage of the Qi and blood system is both independent and related.

Once these two steps are completed, all the vital energy stored in the star trails and stars can be used to ignite the darkness of the inner landscape and illuminate the earth.

Reaching this level is what earns one the title of a peak martial arts master. They are just one step away from achieving the "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top" (a state of perfect harmony).

[What if the interior space is large and there isn't enough energy to fully illuminate it?]

Meng Chuan was also planning ahead; his martial arts skills improved frequently, and the area of ​​his inner realm changed often.

[Naturally, we need more Qi and blood. Do you know what primordial Qi is?]

【Understand.】

Once the vital energy has finished interacting within the body, simply guide new blood and energy into the inner realm to replenish it.

It's only for lighting; even if your interior space is large, you don't need to fill it with much more.

【Understood. 】

Meng Chuan suddenly realized.

The logic is simple: star trails are finite, but the interior view is infinite.

If the Qi and blood stored in the celestial dome are insufficient, then they can be directly drawn from the outside and placed into the inner realm.

On the other end of the phone, Yang Huan nodded:
Then I will continue. The celestial dome and the inner landscape are integrated into one, which is called the "inner world". After the Qi and blood illuminate the inner world, you can start trying the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

【Essence】is the source of life and the foundation of the body; 【Qi】is the circulation and regulation of energy, the driving force; 【Spirit】is the core of the mind, the source of perception and intention.

The Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Martial Arts is also based on the ancient Qi Refining literature and follows the sequence of refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, and refining spirit into emptiness.

The convergence of these elements forms the Yang energy of martial arts, also known in Taoism as the "mother energy of all things," used to perceive the true nature of heaven and earth and condense energy into a powerful force.

Among them, the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain made the greatest contribution. Hundreds of years ago, as the "leader of Qi Refining", he abandoned his narrow-mindedness and laid the foundation for the "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top" for martial artists all over the world. This has influenced later generations to this day. He is known as the ancestor of all martial arts masters. You must remember his kindness in your heart.

Okay, let's get back to the point.

The Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, when embodied in the inner world, is the sudden brightness of heaven and earth. The will dominates everything, rising towards the dome, where the qi and blood clouds gather into a golden sun wheel. The sunlight shines through the Three Flowers, converging and returning to the mysterious gate, thus forming the image of gathering at the top.

When the entire body and inner world are bathed in the warmth of ultimate Yang, one becomes a Grandmaster.

Regardless of whether he could understand it or not, Meng Chuan first memorized everything.

Principal Yang explained the intricacies of breaking through three to four in one go, and he remembered it all.

Principal Sui's gift of this golden crow phantom will not only help you gather your Qi and blood, but will also increase your chances of advancing by 20%.

Furthermore, after you condense the Great Sun, it will grant you an opportunity for a "mutation" related to the fire element. I suspect it should be my master's "Golden Crow Flame."

After saying that, Yang Huan on the other end of the phone showed a hint of envy.

Although he is not good at fire-related elements, he still follows the Xingyi school of thought.

Furthermore, since my master is a master of fire-elemental magic, it wouldn't be a bad idea to cultivate it as well.
But Master still gave this precious wisp of true solar fire to Meng Chuan!
Hearing Meng Chuan admit it himself, he muttered to himself:
"Why don't we just have Master take this kid in?"

There can only be one direct disciple, but Meng Chuan can also be an ordinary disciple.

But then Yang Huan suddenly thought of something and his enthusiasm waned.
"If this kid becomes my disciple, wouldn't he be on the same level as me?"

Junior Brother Meng?
No!

This kid's got too big for his britches!

"I see," Meng Chuan suddenly realized.

He didn't fully appreciate the value of the mutation, but he knew it was an opportunity that others could only dream of.

Aside from the benefits of martial arts training, ordinary people can only experience the profound mysteries of human transformation through acquired enlightenment.

It's far from the fact that he acquires special abilities as easily as eating and drinking, or that he can undergo a few mutations out of the blue as if it were commonplace.
Although he often undergoes strange transformations, he also has some anticipation for the [Golden Crow Flame] transformation that Yang Huan mentioned.

This was bestowed by the Great Sage of Sui, and it even intercepted the flames of the sun. How could it be an extraordinary and transformative effect?
It still concerns the mutation related to the fire element, which is precisely his area of ​​expertise and something he absolutely needs.

Moreover, Yang Huan's question to him might stem from his hope that the opportunity presented by this unexpected event would fall to him, hence his somewhat resentful attitude.
There was no other way; Principal Sui chose him.

Meng Chuan was extremely grateful; he could never repay Sui Sheng's kindness.
Yang Huan was not a jealous person.

I happen to have some free time today, and besides, this kid will probably be traveling around this year and won't be going back to school.

They will also participate in the Dawn Martial Arts Competition at the end of the year, truly bringing honor to the school.
Let's just get straight to the point and get all the answers cleared up:

[Any further questions regarding your spiritual practice are welcome.]

Meng Chuan had his own questions, so he took the opportunity to ask them.

After Principal Sui broke through the seventh level, he sensed a strange change in the energy of heaven and earth.

After hearing what he said, Yang Huan nodded and said:

The human world serves as a vessel, where martial arts and vital energy harmonize in yin and yang. With the arrival of another Great Sage, the human world receives a strong boost from the martial arts' fortune, and vital energy is born from this harmonious union.

【I see. 】

Just as he guessed, Principal Sui broke through the seventh level, and the concentration of vital energy increased.

Unfortunately, the changes don't seem to be significant, which is why he's still uncertain.

When I practice boxing again in the future, the speed at which my Qi and blood accumulate will increase, and the efficiency of my liver's proficiency will also accelerate, which is a good thing.

The changes in his vital energy are related to the fundamentals of his martial arts and his ability to break through limits.

If breaking the seventh is like this, what about breaking the eighth?
Meng Chuan asked another question:
[If Zhao Dasheng breaks through the eighth level, will the concentration of vital energy undergo a dramatic change?]

Yang Huan pondered for a moment, then said seriously:

There have definitely been major changes. If you look at the history of martial arts, you will find that after Zhang Zu of Wudang first broke through the seventh level, the changes in the world were remarkable.

Several masters of the Daoist lineage broke through to the seventh level one after another, and martial arts kings emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. The number of Venerables and Grandmasters increased many times over, instantly reversing the devastating situation in the human world and ushering in a brief period of peace. It was not until the ultimate darkness revived one after another that the human world was dragged back into war.

If Zhao Shengruo breaks through the Eight Limits, I estimate that it will be similar to Zhang Zu's breaking through the Seven Limits, or even worse, which is still unknown.

The first appearance of the Eight Limits brings unparalleled fortune, inevitably causing great changes in the human world, affecting vital energy, dimensions, and even incense offerings and deities.

If I were to be more specific, it would be that the phrase "turning the tide" truly carries immense weight and is by no means an empty boast.

His words reassured the martial arts prodigy of Beilian University.

The situation in the world is not so hopeless; we must have faith in the light.
As soon as Yang Huan finished speaking, Meng Chuan was almost 99% certain.

In the future, at the grand Luotian Ritual, we will deal with the whispers of the mountains.

Who is the real mastermind behind everything?

With a major battle imminent, the Great Chu Dynasty continued to develop its plans in an orderly manner.

Clearly, they have great confidence in handling the whispers of the mountains.

Meng Chuan analyzed that there are three in total:
Firstly, the strength of his Eight Limits combat power surpasses that of the Great Sage.

Perhaps they are like the gods that those scourges of the world claim to be.

Secondly, taking the human body as an example, the whispering soul of the mountains descends to earth, while the physical body remains in the universe.

The Great Sage is lurking in the universe, and it's possible that the Great Chu has discovered his weakness and made some targeted preparations.

Thirdly, there are changes within the human world itself.

Just as Yang Huan said, once the human world, as a vessel, is enhanced by the martial arts, it is impossible for it to turn its back on the outside world.

From this perspective, the key to victory or defeat in the human world largely rests on Zhao Linyuan.

It truly lives up to the title of "saving the world from collapse".

Coming to his senses, Meng Chuan thanked him:
[Understood, I have no further questions. Thank you, Principal Yang.]

Okay, feel free to message me if anything else comes up. I have a ton of things to do at school, bye.

Meng Chuan gained a lot from Yang Huan's words.

I thanked them and hung up, promising not to bother them again.

A glance inside reveals that the Golden Crow is still revolving around the fictitious sun, tirelessly and diligently.

Meng Chuan surveyed the territory within his body, his mind wandering, and he casually thought:
"Qi and blood gather at Yang, and the three flowers converge at the crown. Is the convergence of these two related to the birth of true martial arts energy? Does the rising sun within the inner world affect the changes in the internal energy of the spring?"

Yang Huan only said that one must perceive the true nature of heaven and earth and condense one's qi into a powerful force.

What is the true nature of heaven and earth?
Having experienced the Dragon Elephant True Qi, he still can't figure out how it is formed.

I forgot to ask Principal Yang.
But then Meng Chuan thought of the real world.

"Isn't it said that the only chance to enter the real world is when you sense true qi?"

He didn't understand, but to be honest, he didn't really want to go back to that place and face Shang Hao again.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I need to focus on breaking through to the third level first." Meng Chuan hadn't been idle during his master's recent seclusion in Japan.

Aside from daily hard-skill training, one should focus entirely on practicing boxing to accumulate qi and blood.

My gaze returned to its source, and I emerged from the inner world to descend into the celestial dome.

The Milky Way is vast, and the star trails connecting the celestial bodies have illuminated eight or nine out of ten points.

As one climbs higher, only the stars surrounding the six major orifices remain dim.

Meng Chuan counted, and there were still 43 missing!
With 4,300 points of Qi and Blood, you can begin the process of breaking through to the next realm!
Luo Guanyun is still in seclusion refining the fourth-grade snow lotus, and it will take some time.

I wonder if this vital energy and blood can accumulate enough before the enemy is defeated.

If one were to reach the third limit, the physical attributes would leap forward dramatically after three transformations, increasing the chances of defeating Fang Jianxing.

But Meng Chuan didn't force it; even now, Fang Jianxing wouldn't be his match.

Meng Chuan was confident in this much.

My only concern is that they're resorting to underhanded tactics.
I got up and went out, stepping onto the rows of tall buildings.

It glided through the air, gradually moving further and further away.

Meng Chuan went to the martial arts school to practice boxing.

Riding the wind, while hovering in the air, hot breaths continuously escaped from his mouth and nose, and his pupils reflected the blazing white mist.

Principal Sui's seven-day break ended, and the strange phenomenon of the red sun disappeared.

The cold winter was delayed by three months, but it finally arrived, albeit late.

Every winter is the peak season for the Demon Nest activities.

As the extreme cold seemed to freeze the heavens and earth, the celestial demons of the universe became even more active.

"The Winter Calamity"

Upon entering the martial arts arena, Meng Chuan exchanged a few pleasantries with acquaintances.

Ascending to the rooftop amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the martial arts students, I pushed open the innermost earth-elemental training room.

He specifically instructed that any meditation room should be reserved.

Today's main focus is not on the gathering and dispersing of the five elements.

Instead, it is the interplay of Yin and Yang, with Zhenwu subduing demons.

[True Martial Nine Forms of Demon Subduing: Proficient (76%) Awaiting Limit Break]

[Limit Breaking Trait: Onmyoji (Advanced)]

The most powerful true martial art of the Wudang "Demon Subduing Divine Power" lineage.

As his spiritual practice deepened, Meng Chuan also felt the same way.

Aside from being "good at fighting," the core of Zhenwu's Demon Subduing lies in the harmony between the human body and the Dao.

Maintaining the unity of essence, energy, and spirit without internal depletion is the inner manifestation.

The body's form flows with yin and yang, reflecting the three flowers within the body, while the external manifestation of yin and yang penetrates the meridians and all traces.

Maintain proper circulation of Qi to prevent internal disturbances.

It can be said that the difficulty of practicing this boxing style completely surpasses that of the many other techniques he has learned.

According to Master Chen Tuan.

Even the enlightened masters and true lords of Wudang who have been immersed in Taoism for hundreds of years.

There are some difficulties in practicing this method.

Meng Chuan himself also found cultivation quite difficult.

I've had it for a while, but I'm still stuck at the level of proficiency.

He has not yet broken through to mastery and comprehended the "Demon-Subduing Power".

Even at a proficient level, this method subtly influences his punching and power generation.

The flow of Qi and blood, the expansion and contraction of meridians, and even the adjustment of boxing techniques.

The True Martial Demon Subduing Technique is like the core driving force when practicing martial arts; it plays a silent and invisible role in the process of generating "qi".

True Qi, Power Qi, the Qi of the Five Elements, and so on, are all influenced by this Taoist boxing style.

When fists and feet are in harmony with heaven and earth, the amplification is even greater.

This method is still far from breaking through its limits and has a great deal of room for improvement.

As his cultivation deepens, boundless wonders await his exploration and discovery.

He is only familiar with the techniques now, and still needs time and practice to refine them.

For the next period of time, this method became the core of his main course.

The kidneys have broken free from their constraints and undergone a transformation, enabling them to sustain themselves for a considerable period of time while practicing this highly difficult martial art.

Having witnessed the power of advanced traits, and needing to acquire a large amount of Qi and Blood, I will strive to break through to the third level.

The Nine Forms of Zhenwu Subduing Demons is the only choice.

Practice boxing and martial arts.

Meng Chuan stretched his fists and swung his legs, and a Taoist rhythm flowed with them.

This method is not as powerful as the Five Elements and Thunder.

On the contrary, he was extremely reserved, like an old man practicing Tai Chi in the park.
However, only those with some cultivation can see the surging power and energy of the qi and blood.

With a single punch, his blood and qi surged forth like a wild horse.

The body was pulled back from the brink of collapse, and the Qi and blood were instantly circulated back into the body, demonstrating meticulous control.

Vital energy is constantly gathering in the body, and Zhenwu Jiangmo can obtain a great deal of vital energy.

Furthermore, due to the changes in the world caused by Principal Sui, Meng Chuan could only feel the increase in his qi and blood when practicing this boxing style.

He adjusts his breathing once an hour, transforming Meng Chuan into a perpetual motion machine for practicing boxing.

Every bit of progress you make in proficiency will earn you a significant amount of health and mana.

Until another star lit up, he stopped and stood still.

Looking at the time, it was already the morning of the next day.

Time flies by in the midst of fistfights and kicks; before you know it, time has slipped away.

Xue Na also sent him a message, cooking his favorite pumpkin porridge.

"Go home first for breakfast, then do your morning exercises."

"Go out again to buy some fruits and offerings for the occasion, and then finally go to Caixia Mountain."

It had been arranged beforehand that this trip back to Yong'an would include a visit to the mountain to pay homage to King Xiang and to express gratitude for the legacy he had inherited.

Caixia Mountain is also known as "Xiangwang Tomb".

It was formerly the site of the joint examination of eight schools in Yong'an, and the burial place of Qin Xiang.

[Fist that Shakes the Eight Desolations - Qin Xiang]!
In recent days, the police search in Yong'an City has been completed, and no further traces of the demonic forces have been found.

With the end of Level 3 emergency preparedness, restrictions were gradually eased within the city, and the people eagerly awaited the arrival of the New Year.

Meanwhile, Fang Jianxing, who had been lurking outside the city, was also present.

Still in hiding
Seeing that in recent days, access to and from Yong'an City has gradually returned to normal, and inspection and control measures have been relaxed.

However, he remained cautious and did not rush into the city.

"The city's defenses should be lifted. It seems Feng Ying'er's seduction tactics didn't work after all; she ultimately fell for this kid."

However, Feng Ying'er's failure was entirely within Fang Jianxing's expectations.

If Meng Chuan, that scoundrel, were so easy to kill, would it have been her turn?

Can I really wait until then?
If she rashly enters the city to assassinate him and fails, the entire city will react instantly and turn into a prison of demonic forces, leaving Feng Ying'er with no way to escape.

Fang Jianxing was unaware of Yan Huan's existence.

It is also unknown how far Meng Chuan's true strength has developed.

However, his ability to escape the assassination attempt by the demonic master Feng Ying'er proves that he has grown stronger and is no longer someone who can be easily manipulated.

Time is of the essence.
Fang Jianxing was sweating with anxiety, but he had to remain patient and absolutely dared not enter the city.

If Feng Ying'er dies and I go up again, wouldn't it be like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather, one after another being sent to their deaths?

Who knows where Luo Guanyun is hiding? He's ready to catch him like a turtle in a jar in Yong'an City at any moment!
His thoughts raced, and he closed the mirror in his palm.

The panoramic view of Huayun Mansion flashed by in an instant.

"Luo Guanyun has left Huayun Mansion, but we don't know where he is hiding. Once he shows himself and is separated from his disciple, I can't wait any longer."

They immediately seized the brat and took the [Primordial Spirit Seed Thunder Technique].

He was also very confident in taking down Meng Chuan.

With a flick of his wrist, an old-fashioned flag lay open in his palm.

Fang Jianxing carefully stroked it, faintly hearing the mournful screams of the dead.

His reliance was none other than the Crimson Flame Banner, a treasure of the "Purgatory Heaven" of the universe.

The Crimson Flame Banner is part of the Purgatory [Five Directions Soul Refining Banner].

This item was lent to a very important person in the world.

This great figure's domain covers nearly half of Bashan Mountain and is also known by the common people of the Great Chu as the "Ultimate Darkness".

However, unlike the whispers of the mountains, it has not yet awakened.

But Fang Jianxing can communicate with him through dreams, something he has been able to do ever since he was eight years old and gained enlightenment about his special abilities!
Even his ability to use mirrors to sense and spy on "anomalies" was a power granted by this great figure.

It can be said that Fang Jianxing's growth to this point is inseparable from the other party's secret help.

However, helping him wake up and escape his predicament was something Fang Jianxing often expressed his gratitude for.

However, the other party did not seem enthusiastic.

Therefore, he also reflected on himself, wary of the sugar-coated bullets of the world, lest he pay a greater price in the future.
As for now, to completely subdue this brat surnamed Meng, the assistance of the Universal Realm is indispensable.
"With the Crimson Flame Banner in hand, this kid is no match for me. In a way, this could be considered a dimensional reduction attack, right?"

With such overwhelming divine power, how could mortals possibly withstand it?
Huayun Mansion.

In the quiet room, Meng Chuan stood with his legs straddling and his hands raised above his head, performing the "Supporting Heaven" posture for circulating Qi.

He practiced the art of carrying mountains on his back.

As physical energy is continuously consumed, muscles are affected by extraordinary factors, rapidly breaking down and reorganizing, accelerating healing to become even stronger.

Now, he has his own unique understanding of the art of external martial arts.

The postures for circulating Qi in hard Qigong do not necessarily have to be strictly followed or adhere to the rules set by the founder of the practice.

Your body is your own, and only you know which posture can better stimulate acupoints and promote muscle growth.

The body's strength continues to rise, and the essence of life permeates the body, bursting forth with vigor.

The chest area was surging, and the airflow was like a torrent.

It bursts forth from the five senses and the shoulder blades, vast and mighty.

Every muscle in his body was visibly writhing and swelling into hills and ravines.

The undulating veins within indicate a muddy mountain path.

The acupoints turn red from stimulation, steam rises and gushes of heat, and the muscles instantly contract and solidify, revealing a lean and powerful appearance.

hungry!
The spleen and stomach are greatly agitated.

Meng Chuan hurriedly took out a large amount of medicinal paste from his waist tag.

Pour it all into your mouth, where it transforms into pure energy to replenish you.

Just then, the Rainbow Radiance treatment took effect.

He leaned back on the floor, panting, and took a few moments to catch his breath.

He silently calculated that once his body absorbed this energy, it would be enough to fill the tube of proficiency.
