With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 596 Old Yang's Recruitment of a Son-in-Law: The Yin-Yang Demon-Subduing Techniques are Perfected! (6k)

After practicing his skills for a long time, Lu Ang slowly exhaled and stood still.

The bear shadow behind him seemed to be torn apart by the wind, turning into chaotic dark light that was all gathered into his body.

The moment he looked at his phone, his eyes widened in surprise.

The sixth position.
"Meng Chuan?"

He's relegated to seventh place, and this kid's riding right over him?

Martial arts talent is not static.

The Heavenly King's body has undergone countless transformations; his muscles, bones, and overall physique are far beyond what ordinary people can compare to.

How did that kid do it?
Lu Ang shook his head, then turned back to remind him to hide the ranking.

Among the top 100 nationwide, only Meng Chuan is under 50 years old; he's incredibly popular.

Sometimes, what people know in their hearts is essentially left unsaid behind the scenes.

Being out in the open makes it stand out, and in some people's eyes, it's like a thorn in their side.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

When facing the extraterrestrial demons, we should unite as one against them.

But reality often doesn't go as planned.

The human heart is inherently complex, and thoughts are often tangled.

Even if it's aimed at Meng Chuan and they gain nothing from it, some people are still happy to see a "genius fall."

Of course, not to mention the "traitors" hidden within.

They racked their brains to kill Meng Chuan, hoping to use this "east wind" to praise him to death.

Of course, if this kid can win a top-three finish in the [Dawn Martial Arts Competition] and join the "Universal Project", all problems will be solved.

Thinking of this, Lu Ang put away his phone and sighed deeply:
"Top three...that's tough. Comparing him to the world's top talents, this kid is at a disadvantage because he's young."

The Dawn Martial Arts Competition is set up for those under thirty years old, vying for the first global-level "Generation Number One".

Even during the competition, Meng Chuan was only in his early 21s, not yet 22.

Talent, without the tempering of time, is fully realized as strength.

In his view, getting into the top 100 shouldn't be a problem, and he also has a chance to make it into the top 30.

But
The top ten will undoubtedly be top geniuses from all over the world, young masters under the age of thirty!
Even if Lu Ang had a high opinion of him, he had to admit this.

Chen Zhiming of the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain, Wang Chongyi of Wudang, Liao Huo of Shaolin, Yan Hualongying, and Mu Nianxin of Emei!

These people are all under thirty years old and have achieved the extraordinary talent of becoming a Grandmaster of the Four Limits.

Unfortunately, the Four Directions Alliance started late, and this was the only level where there was a gap, with no one able to take on the responsibility.

However, there are also masters abroad who are no less skilled than those from the Taoist and Buddhist schools.

The Silver Eagle Empire, the United States, Russia, and others are all eyeing this martial arts extravaganza hosted by the Great Chu, which encompasses the entire world.

They were determined to take first place and redeem themselves from the fact that the Great Sage's top combat power was insufficient.

Give Meng Chuan another five or six years, and Lu Ang would dare to make the decision and directly predetermine the number one spot.
Unfortunately, this kid is still too young.
Lu Ang turned and ventured deep into the Taihang Mountains; today it was his turn to be on guard.

"To break into the top thirty would be a truly astonishing feat."

That night, at Huayun Mansion.

Meng Chuan's stance training is as expansive as the heavens and the earth.

In the Martial Arts Sky.

When the last star trail connects to the acupoint, it's like a light bulb connecting to a circuit, and countless rays of light shimmer and fall from the sky.

A thunderous roar, like galloping horses, resounded through his meridians, and Meng Chuan stood up and stood still.

Communication panel:
【Taiyi Three Talents Stance: Earth Stance (65%) → (66%)】

The second stage of cultivation, the meridian standing meditation, has been perfected.

All that's missing is replenishing my Qi and blood to break through the three limits.

He estimated that once he mastered the Nine Demon-Subduing Forms and combined it with the Qi and Blood gained from other fist techniques, the conditions would be met, and he would be ready to break through to the third level at any time.

As for the premise of breaking the shackles of martial arts principles.

After adjusting your breathing, fully circulate today's [Dao Heart Seed Demon] Great Circulation to replenish the final proficiency, and you will achieve the goal.

A martial arts master is truly not far off.

Meng Chuan took a deep breath, regulated his breathing, and looked up at the sky.

In his left eye, a powerful aura pierced through the clouds, leaving a trail like the exhaust of a jet plane, pointing directly towards the Taihang Mountains.

The Grand Ritual of Luotian takes place on New Year's Eve.

There are 23 days left.

The night is deep.

[Core Law]

[Demon Seed in the Dao Heart: Eighth Level (98%)]

It's now.

Not only will he perfect his stance training, but Meng Chuan will also fully understand the martial arts principles of the Second Limit!
Outside the body, his breathing was long and deep, like swallowing clouds and exhaling mist. The air around him swirled and turned into a vortex, and everything in the attic was thrown into the air by the turbulent air currents.

Within the body, the Daoist mind guides the circulation of internal energy, which circulates throughout the body, bringing in new life and blood, which converges in the meridians, causing a sound like crashing waves.

Inside the pavilion at this moment, it seemed as if an ancient behemoth was crouching, its breath causing wind and clouds to gather and the celestial phenomena to change drastically.

The mastermind behind all this is immersed in spiritual practice, oblivious to everything else.

call--

Meng Chuan exhaled like a sword, his white breath like a torrent of dust, all of it dissipating.

As the breath was released, the surrounding suspended objects instantly froze and then fell back to their positions.

As the panel notification sounded, the final proficiency level was completed, and everything went smoothly.

[Demon Seed in the Dao Heart: Eighth Level (100%)]

At this point, the cultivation of internal energy and blood has completely stalled.

Simply cultivating one's inner energy within the heavens is insufficient to generate new life force.

After breaking through the third level, the inner landscape and the celestial dome exert their power together to regenerate the qi and blood between the meridians.

Meng Chuan could vaguely sense that as his cultivation technique broke through to the ninth level, his Dao Heart's need for absorbing Qi and blood would also undergo a terrifying qualitative change.

He guessed it was like what his master had done back then.

I cultivate my Qi and blood daily without ever slacking off; in fact, they increase in the negative.
Even though he can condense his qi and blood very quickly with his fist techniques, he won't be as embarrassed as his master was when he was under three limitations.

However, the excess blood and qi are consumed by the Dao Heart, which slows down the accumulation speed, which is still unpleasant.

Obtaining other fragments to suppress the Dao Heart's Blood Absorption is an urgent matter.

Meng Chuan opened his eyes, and a mysterious divine light flickered in his left eye, captivating the soul.

Taking advantage of the break between meditation sessions after finishing his cultivation, he reviewed his memories and examined the Yin-Yang Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra taught by Sect Leader Chen.

Meng Chuan has had this core technique of advanced Wudang martial arts for a long time, but has yet to practice it.

It is listed as the lineage of Zhenwu the Great, and the "Demon-Subduing Divine Power".

The core technique of the strongest true skill.

Above that lies the divine martial art that no one in Wudang currently practices—the [Mysterious Heaven True Martial Original Transmission of the Demon-Slaying Scripture].

This method will definitely need to be practiced in the future, no doubt about it.

Not only is it incredibly powerful, but it can also aid in the cultivation of Qi and blood.

According to Sect Leader Chen Tuan, it can also suppress the Dao Heart, and perhaps further inhibit the Dao Heart's ability to absorb blood.

Of course, Meng Chuan was just looking at it for now, learning in advance.

After all, its cultivation techniques alone consist of tens of thousands of words.

The entire text is filled with obscure Taoist sayings, making it a headache to read.

If you don't learn now, you'll have to put in a lot of hard work when you need to cultivate yourself in the future.

I've been reading too many Buddhist scriptures lately, so I'm taking a break from them by reading some Taoist scriptures while practicing breathing exercises.
In his view, Taoism and Buddhism are simply two extremes.

The more difficult the Taoist practices, the longer the texts become, and the more obscure they are.

As Buddhist practices become more profound, the texts become shorter and shorter.

I can understand it, but understanding and comprehending are two different things.
According to Master Bai Bao, one can only be considered to have achieved a barely profound understanding if one can expand a single sentence into five hundred insights in one's mind.
Putting aside all other thoughts, I began reading Meng Chuan.

A thought suddenly occurred to him:
"I remember Master once said that if you can completely control the Thunder Seed, you can cultivate many core techniques."

Although the amount of qi and blood provided may be reduced, it still has great benefits.

The core method can be considered as internal energy cultivation in ancient martial arts. Compared with fist techniques, the speed of condensing qi and blood is far greater.

Just as Meng Chuan is now.

He practices boxing all day, but unless he breaks through a certain level in his boxing technique, he can't catch up with even half of the core cultivation method.

The martial arts master Pang Yu cultivates the core techniques of a low-level true skill. When the eighth level is perfected, the entire skill manual is complete.

After breaking through the third level, one needs to switch to a higher-level "Martial Arts Guide" to cultivate Qi and Blood.

Those who cultivate advanced core techniques can also choose to supplement their cultivation with other core techniques after all the acupoints in the Heavenly Void are lit up. This is also something that Meng Chuan will soon face.

After thinking for a moment, he pondered in his heart:

"The prerequisite for secondary cultivation is complete mastery. Does my current relationship with my Dao Heart count as mastery?"

Meng Chuan felt that his current relationship with his Dao Heart was quite strange.
He can direct the Dao Heart to do things and teach it to do things.

Whether it's purging or regulating other symbolic creatures within the body.

Or he could circulate his inner energy, urging the demonic energy to aid in battle; his Dao heart never wavered, and he did exactly as instructed.

However, he was unable to control the blood-draining of his Dao Heart.

I don't even know where to begin, and no matter how many times I tell them, they won't listen.

It's like how primordial energy circulates throughout the body with the core method, gathering and entering the body, and then automatically separates out a portion to nourish the Dao heart.

Throughout the entire process, he was unable to stop the separation of vital energy, nor did he know how to do it.

Even the Dao mind cannot control itself; as long as it exists within him, it will inevitably share in his life.

This is difficult.
Pinching his brow, Meng Chuan realized that reading the obscure Taoist scriptures while pondering these matters was indeed quite taxing on his mind.

"Once your Qi and blood have filled the acupoints and meridians, then consider other things."

If one cannot cultivate at least one core method, it will severely hinder the speed of Qi and blood cultivation.

After breaking through the third level, one needs to fill the entire celestial orbit with Qi and blood, which requires a massive amount of accumulated Qi and blood.

Moreover, in the future, when the inner landscape merges with the celestial dome to create the "inner world," it will still require the energy and blood to illuminate the world.

His inner vision is already enormous, and his demand for qi and blood is higher than others, which will greatly slow down the speed at which the Three Flowers Gather at the Top break through to the fourth level.

The core method is the main way to obtain Qi and Blood.

Having one less skill than others, coupled with the side effect of the Dao Heart Absorbing Blood, makes cultivation extremely difficult.

Meng Chuan pinched the bridge of his nose, annoyed.
After reading some Taoist scriptures, he felt much more at peace.

Eat one bite at a time; if there are too many things to do, just solve them step by step.

Defeat Fang Jianxing and acquire the other fragments to complete the [Dao Heart Demon Seed], reducing the Dao Heart's need for Qi and Blood.

It integrates the flowers of bone, flesh, and blood, using the dragon's seated meditation to protect the whole, creating a body of Dharma control.

If he can't control the primordial energy, then he should forcefully control his Dao heart and prevent it from absorbing it.

A forced relationship won't be sweet, but it might work.
The next morning, Meng Chuan, who had been immersed in meditation all night, opened the window.

Take a deep breath, and you'll feel refreshed and invigorated.

The rich wood element energy flows smoothly with the wind, and the spring breeze nourishes Chang'an once again.

The air was still chilly, but the plants were thriving, just like the plum blossoms that braved the snow and stood proudly on their branches.

The aroma of the stove fire stirred Meng Chuan's appetite.

"Eat rice, eat rice!"

During the meal, his phone rang, and he received a call from Yang Yuelian.

Are you going to urge him on again?
That can't be right. Judging from her condition last time, she seemed to be in the right place.
That means the matter of weapons has been resolved.

After the call connected, Yang Yuelian's annoyed voice came through:

【187, could you call my grandfather back? I tried calling you several times last night, but couldn't get through.】 He had set his phone to "Do Not Disturb" for strangers, but he never expected that Grandmaster Yang Zhaoxing would call him personally.

So your grandfather agreed?

On the other end of the phone, Yang Yuelian's expression was somewhat strange.

She spoke hesitantly:
I don't know either, you should ask him!

Snapped!
The call was immediately disconnected.

Meng Chuan put down his phone, somewhat confused, noticing something odd in the other person's tone.
Whatever, it doesn't matter.

He never tries to guess what a woman is thinking.

After dinner, I went back to my room and dialed the number they had given me.

After the bell rang three times, an aged yet still authoritative voice rang out:
"Hello? Who is this? I am Yang Zhaoxing."

[Hello, Senior Yang, this is Meng Chuan. I apologize for not being able to answer your call yesterday.]

Immediately afterwards, a strong, warm voice rang out:
[Ahem. It's nothing. Pei Shengxin is truly outstanding, and Qu Qi is also very talented. I have long admired Master Meng.]

"You're too kind, Senior Yang."

After a long pause, Meng Chuan managed to utter just this one sentence.

This old master Yang started reciting poetry right away, which really caught everyone off guard.
Is Meng Dajia a local from Yong'an?

Yes, you can just call me Xiao Meng, senior.

[The true lineage of the Northern Associated University, revered Master Luo?]

【Yes. 】

【May I ask, Xiao Meng, how old are you?】

[21 years old (by Chinese reckoning)]

Meng Chuan looked surprised, feeling as if the other party had come to check his household registration.
On the other end of the phone, Yang Zhaoxing's voice sounded thoughtful:
[Yue Lian is 24 years old (by Chinese reckoning), and the woman is three years older; they are a good match.]

"??"

What is this for?
You're giving away your granddaughter, right?
No.

He doesn't even want the granddaughter of a Heavenly King; the Grandmaster is in a mess.
Just as he was wondering what to say next, Yang Zhaoxing finally got to the point:

"Meng Dajia wants a fourth-grade halberd. My Yang family doesn't have one, but we do have a third-grade one, which is the best among them."

I can reforge and upgrade the Grade 3 "Yingzhao" halberd for you, custom-made for you free of charge!
Of course, this is on the premise that you become our Yang family's son-in-law, not a live-in son-in-law, so please rest assured, Master Meng. Not only the fourth-grade halberd, but also the fifth-grade Venerable Divine Spear in my possession can be passed on to you in the future.

Old Yang's idea is good. The Yang family is wealthy, and a woman guarding the wealth alone cannot support the family; it is not a long-term solution.

If he were to announce that he would find a marriage for Yang Yuelian, the scions of noble families throughout the Great Chu would be lining up at his doorstep.

However, he was unwilling to do so.

From the perspective of the development of the entire Yang family, such behavior is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house!
A woman's marriage is like water spilled from a cup; even someone as exceptionally talented in martial arts as his granddaughter, capable of longevity, is no exception.

A century later, most of the people Yang Yuelian knew in her clan had passed away.

Without familiarity and a sense of belonging, the estrangement between her and the Yang family will inevitably deepen, and it will be only natural that the Yang family will be absorbed into her husband's family in the future.

If one were to seek a son-in-law who would be exceptionally talented and gifted, who would be willing to do so?

However, what ordinary people wish for, his granddaughter would certainly not want, and Yang Zhaoxing could not agree to it.

The Yang family treated Meng Chuan with sincerity, and in return, Meng Chuan treated his family members the same way. Sincerity begets sincerity.

Meng Chuan's martial arts talent surpasses even that of his granddaughter.

With the couple working together, and Meng Chuanwu having no family connections to support him, they could potentially bring the Yang family to a height that is currently unattainable.

In hundreds of years, the Yang family has only produced one such outstanding young woman with exceptional martial arts talent.

His granddaughter herself can hone her martial arts skills and reach higher levels through her powerful husband, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

If Meng Chuan agrees, it will be a great fortune for the Yang family.

Yang Zhaoxing's plan was well-thought-out, but unfortunately it was all for naught.

After some thought, Meng Chuan bluntly refused:

Martial arts are my passion, and I have no time for personal matters. Please understand, Senior Yang.

Regarding the matter of forging weapons, I hope you, senior, will consider it. I am willing to pay a high price to have you, senior, handle it. Let's not let trivial matters concerning children damage our relationship.

There was no other way, so Yang Zhaoxing used the matter of marriage as a small threat to blackmail him.

He was not a clay sculpture; he had flesh and blood and backbone.

A small retaliation is perfectly reasonable.

"You know I'm extremely talented. If you use this marriage agreement to blackmail me now, don't blame me for harboring resentment later."

Meng Chuan considered himself to be a generous person who was easy to get along with.

Only when facing close friends and family can one fully show their generous side.

On the other end of the phone, Yang Zhaoxing naturally understood Meng Chuan's meaning.

He realized that he had been somewhat reckless in threatening to impose a marriage contract right from the start.

He is getting on in years, and he has indeed been too hasty in planning the future of the Yang family.

On the national system platform, Meng Chuan's martial arts talent is currently hidden.

But he had already seen it; when it wasn't hidden, it was added as the sixth person, which is now the "anonymous user".

It's right at the very bottom of the homepage rankings; anyone with eyes can see it.

Comparable to the King of Martial Arts
Yang Zhaoxing understood the meaning behind this.

Putting everything else aside, if we test again after the Gang Transformation, there's no doubt that he'll top the list.

With such talent, who dares to predict his future?

Yang Zhaoxing suddenly realized that he had spoken out of turn, but he still wanted to try again.

After thinking it over, he spoke earnestly:
"Alright then, Xiao Meng, let's proceed with the weapon-making as you suggested. I'm willing to lend a hand."

I will be leaving home soon. When I return to Linzhou, you are welcome to visit my Yang family. We will not discuss your relationship with Yuelian for now.

However, regarding the forging of this weapon, you must come in person to discuss your thoughts and needs regarding the divine halberd with me.

Yang Zhaoxing wanted to leave home, but he was summoned by the state to go to Taihang to participate in the grand ritual.

Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Yang.

The road ahead is difficult. If you do not return from this journey, I will leave an oral decree at the Yang family. Go and retrieve "Yingzhao" and seek out my old friend Guigu Yang to recast and upgrade it.

Guigu Yang's skills are somewhat inferior to mine, but advancing to a higher rank should be no problem.

Upon hearing this, Meng Chuan felt a surge of gratitude and almost wanted to agree.
[The elder is a lucky person; Heaven will surely protect him, and he will return safely from Taihang.]

Time flies by like a white horse.

After New Year's Day, it's time for martial arts schools to recruit students again.

Infinite Square.

The huge square was teeming with people. If you looked down from the sky, the crowds were shoulder to shoulder, forming a dense, swarming mass.

Some returning students renewed their fees, while new students came to the martial arts school to register.

In short, it was all parents bringing their young martial arts students to line up in the square.

Residents of Yong'an who aspire for their children to excel in martial arts and gain admission to a prestigious martial arts university in the future.

Even parents in nearby cities are taking out loans to send their children to [Infinite Martial Arts Academy] for tutoring.

This behemoth, which has grown into the number one martial arts school in Northwest China in just a few years, has long been the first choice for martial arts tutoring in the Shaanxi region and a benchmark in the hearts of parents.

Meng Chuan stood far away outside the square, looking at the huge crowd, and suddenly felt overwhelmed.
He came to the martial arts school today to break through his limits in the training room.

I never expected to find myself stuck here during today's enrollment.
He leaped into the air, tapping his feet repeatedly, and glided through the air with several large jumps.

Like riding the wind, it glides hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.

Unlike before, when its body suddenly rose up, creating a hurricane that swept across the land.

Instead, it's like a Taoist master using his lightness skill, floating lightly without attracting the attention of others.

Everything in the world exists because of the interaction of the five elements.

Wood represents growth and development.

It shares the same origin as the flowing and expansive nature of the wind.

A few days ago, he used the element of wood in the Five Elements theory to understand the element of wind and stood quietly in the forest practicing his boxing.

Watching the branches and leaves sway gently, feeling the crisp strength of the cold wind sweeping the leaves, the breath of the wood follows the forest wind, and the mind travels with the wind.

Finally, he had an epiphany regarding the art of body movement.

Not only has his proficiency with [Divine Speed ​​and Ever-Changing Technique] improved significantly, but his proficiency with [Sky-Soaring Technique] has also increased considerably.

They have become more skilled at using the wind to stay airborne and gliding.

Most of the ordinary people and low-level martial artists in the crowd felt a chill on their heads.

There was a faint sensation of airflow passing by, but nothing else.

Only a few with keen senses can suddenly notice a fleeting shadow passing overhead.

Looking towards the head of the long queue, a young man suddenly appeared, striding confidently into the back.

He looked down at his child and said:

“If you’ve signed up, study hard and don’t waste your money. You must take Brother Meng Chuan as your role model, practice martial arts diligently, and we will be content if you become a martial artist in the future.”

"I will definitely work hard."

The child answers his parents seriously, but he is actually under a lot of pressure himself.

Junior high school students are no longer at an age where they know nothing.

Becoming a martial arts master is incredibly difficult.

Their school principal was only a novice martial artist.

But which child would dare to confidently say that they will be more successful than the principal in the future?
The path of martial arts is difficult, as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Inside the fire-elemental meditation room.

Meng Chuan let out a long sigh, sat down cross-legged, and temporarily stopped practicing his boxing.

Today's breakthrough was achieved with a fist technique from the Wudang Martial Arts Pavilion—the [Sheep Palace Azure Flame Fist].

Although it is a common first-class boxing style, it is a rare ancient martial arts style.

This is perfect for using the Battle Soul Space to accelerate my comprehension and cultivation.

This fist technique contains the intermediate-level limit-breaking trait, [Azure Flame].

Based on his path to breaking through limitations and his inner insights, this trait may have some wonderful uses.

Flip your wrist and concentrate on observing.

Upon entering, Meng Chuan exuded a unique aura.

He felt that as long as he broke through that seemingly thin but actually extremely thick dimensional barrier, his physical body could be sucked into it.
Suppressing his excitement, his soul and body entered the dark world.

Meng Chuan performed a simple fist technique, and a vast expanse of blue light appeared between heaven and earth.

As the turquoise flames flickered, it was as if a scroll had been unfurled on a flat table, appearing before one's eyes.

The surrounding scenery suddenly changed, and my mind was completely absorbed in it.

Meng Chuan's mind cleared quickly, and upon closer inspection, he saw the same lifelike scene of "Taoist alchemy".

White clouds and blue sky, ancient buildings and red fragrance.

This is the creation world of the [Sheep Palace Azure Flame Fist].

As for the person who created the law, where is he now?

The setting sun cast golden rays upon the palace rooftop. Meng Chuan gazed at the old Taoist priest standing with his hands behind his back on the roof, preparing to strike a punch.

The old Taoist priest had a long beard that hung straight down to his waist.

Her figure, bathed in blue flames, slowly walked towards him.

He remained calm and composed, unlike the mad old Taoist priest who had been struck by lightning.

Meng Chuan squinted to look, the firelight was too bright and somewhat blocked his eyes.

But he could still feel the surging, scorching energy in his left eye.

I had previously checked the information, and this person is the sixth generation Songxi Sect Leader of the Wudang Sect.

It was originally called the "Tourmaline Magic Sword and Yuan Xue Seal" and was associated with Yuan Zhenren.
