Covering the Sky: I Prove the Great Dao Through the Gate of Immortality

Li Chenzhou stepped out of Kunlun, his plain white robe fluttering as he drifted into the mortal world.

He still looks like a young man, his face unchanged.

It's not that he has some secret to eternal youth; perhaps it's because the foundation he built with the Demon Prison Mystic Embryo Scripture is unparalleled, or perhaps it's because he cultivated with the blood of Ye Fan and Pang Bo. These past few years have left no trace on him.

The aftershocks of Yan Yuanyi's death were but a speck of dust in the lake of his heart.

Anyone who obstructs the way should be met with fists and killed.

This is the simplest truth in the world, and also his most straightforward response.

In this world, he has already reached the Dan Jin realm. Among the seven billion beings in the world, only thirty people can reach this level.

Further ahead lies the罡气罡劲 (罡气罡劲), even reaching the level of "见神不坏" (见神不坏).

This is the end of martial arts in this world.

According to the mechanism of the Reincarnation Watch, he must cultivate to the highest level in the current world before he can return to the Shrouding Heaven Realm.

This also serves as a way to accumulate "energy" for traveling to the next world.

Logically speaking, as long as Li Chenzhou continues his cultivation, he should reach the realm of indestructible gods in just a few years.

This was originally Li Chenzhou's plan when he first came to this world.

However, now he understands the essence of cultivation and knows the clear direction to move forward.

He then developed even greater ambitions.

Martial arts training is not about copying others' ideas or being stuck in one's own ways.

A true strong person is one who can find a way out of a desperate situation and build a new peak where there seems to be no way.

His fist is his way.

Whether trapped in the world of dragons and snakes or returning to the world of Shrouding the Heavens one day, it is the same.

Prove the Way through fists, and open up a new world.

This martial art, which develops the potential of flesh and blood, has reached its ultimate level, with a physical body that is "indestructible even when facing gods."

Ahead lay a precipice, a dead end.

Li Chenzhou's mind raced. Decades later, the Milky Way stretched out, and gods and demons rose together. The foundation of cultivation in the Milky Way era was the even more vast spiritual power that came after the Chinese martial arts had exhausted the physical body.

"The Great Dao was conceived in the primordial chaos and is hidden within the spiritual realm; it responds to thoughts and flows, manifesting in all forms!"

Ancient boxing manuals resonated in his mind. The Dragon and Snake National Martial Arts, based on the body, tempered the muscles, bones, skin, and membranes, refined the internal organs, circulated qi and blood, condensed the elixir, and finally achieved the indestructible spirit and the sainthood of the physical body, reaching the ultimate in "form".

However, the heart is the commander, and the will comes first.

The cultivation of Chinese martial arts begins with the cultivation of inner strength, which involves the spirit. The transformation of inner strength, where "not even a feather can be added, nor a fly can land," indicates a high degree of spiritual sensitivity. The inner strength further integrates the spirit and blood, resulting in a refined and concentrated fist intent.

When one reaches the point of being able to see the divine without decay, with profound insight into the subtleties of the mind and will, and the ability to control every minute change in oneself, it is a perfect unity of "mind" and "form" at the physical level.

So, what happens after the physical body reaches its limit?

The physical form has reached its peak, but the journey of the heart is not yet over!

The practice in the Star River Era lies in "subduing one's mind".

When the power of the mind is strong enough to break the shackles of the physical body, it influences reality from the inside out, transforming the intangible "intention" into tangible "power".

This is the realm beyond the indestructible state of seeing gods.

Fetal breathing!

The mind interferes with matter, and the will distorts reality!

This is the sublimation of martial arts training, the "breaking through the void" of spiritual power.

This is what Li Chenzhou wants to do to continue the path forward on the broken road of Chinese martial arts.

In this world, no one can surpass Tang Zichen in terms of the depth of his spiritual realm and the subtlety of his grasp of "intention".

Her "way of utmost sincerity" has already touched the threshold between "heart" and "matter," and is profoundly mysterious.

Only a peak duel where one's heart and soul are fully engaged, a collision of fist intent and spirit, can ignite his inspiration and save him from countless hours of solitary exploration.

"Tang Zichen and I will eventually have a showdown."

Li Chenzhou stood atop Kunlun Mountain, his figure upright, his aura deep and profound like an unfathomable ocean.

The elixir has been formed, and the qi and blood flow like a dragon; it is time.

I have traversed mountains and rivers, and met heroes from all over the world.

Using fists to inquire about the Dao, I verify the true meaning of my Dao.

This world of dragons and snakes is the crucible where he hone his skills; all the masters in the world, whether friend or foe, are his whetstone.

He wants to use this mortal world as a furnace to cultivate himself into a true "indestructible and divine being".

When the physical body reaches the point of being indestructible and the mind and will are clear and flawless, the final leap will be when the battle against Tang Zichen begins.

Now, he will incorporate all the martial arts fortune of this vast land and countless lives into his fist.

……

Inside a courtyard with red walls.

"Alas... human strength has its limits. It seems that the burden of integrating the martial arts world can only be placed on these few promising talents like Wang Chao."

Inside the strategy room, an elderly man spoke, his voice tinged with weariness.

Li Chenzhou's three killings of Dan Jin are almost universally recognized as the strongest Dan Jin, which can only be killed by Gang Jin.

Wang Chao was ranked first among the "promising talents" they mentioned.

If these promising young talents can withstand the pressure and truly grow, and have the potential to reach the Gangjin realm in the future, then there will still be a glimmer of hope for unifying the martial arts world.

Although the hope is slim, like a candle flame in the wind, there is still something there.

Gangjin (罡劲).

Looking at the world's seven billion people, there are only a handful, maybe two or three, who can master martial arts to this level.

"Wang Chao is physically strong and has abundant energy; what's even more remarkable is his temperament and comprehension!"

Another middle-aged man spoke up, "Comparing him to Li Chenzhou before was a misjudgment on our part. Li Chenzhou cannot be judged by common sense. Putting him aside, just look at Wang Chao. His stance training is solid, his boxing style is skillful, and his fighting style is fierce yet spirited. With this talent, he is definitely a martial arts prodigy who is rare to find in ten years. Given time, he may well be able to touch the threshold of Gang Jin."

These words were like a bucket of cold water, waking everyone from their sense of defeat.

Yes!

They were stunned by Li Chenzhou's triple kill of Dan Jin, and subconsciously demanded that Wang Chao reach that level at the same age.

That's utterly delusional!

That's something that can't be achieved through normal hard work.

Wang Chao's current lack of ability does not mean that he cannot accumulate knowledge and skills and achieve great things after ten or twenty years of hard work and refinement.

The future is uncertain.

If the leader of GOD and Li Chenzhou, two monsters standing at the pinnacle of martial arts, were to clash due to a conflict of ideologies or interests, and end up with both sides suffering heavy losses... wouldn't that give them a chance to catch their breath or even turn the tables?

The clash between these two legendary figures is not a figment of imagination; it is highly likely.

Thinking about this, the atmosphere in the secret room seemed to relax a bit.

"Pass the word down: increase resource allocation to Wang Chao. He is a key part of the plan, and we must ensure that he is on the right track."

……

However, things didn't go as planned.

Wang Chao, on whom they had placed high hopes, was actually connected to the Tang Clan.

Following the normal trajectory, it would take at least one or two years for the details of the relationship between Wang Chao and Tang Zichen to come to light.

This led to the forced choice that ultimately resulted in Wang Chao leaving for overseas.

But everything was brought forward because of Li Chenzhou's battle at Kunlun Mountain.

Li Chenzhou's killing of Yan Yuanyi shocked the entire martial arts community.

The news of his departure from Kunlun to enter the secular world had already been learned by Tang Zichen, who was far away overseas.

Just then, Wang Chao's reputation in the mainland martial arts world soared, and his outstanding achievements reached Tang Zichen's ears.

Out of consideration for their past relationship and also with a desire to investigate, Tang Zichen returned to the mainland and met with his former underling.

This seemingly ordinary side ignited everything.

The tight surveillance network set up by the mysterious team around Wang Chao instantly captured Tang Zichen, this "sensitive person".

The alarm reached the Red Wall.

The script was forcibly fast-forwarded.

Faced with the mysterious group's demand that Bing completely sever all ties with Tang Zichen.

The martial spirit that Tang Zichen had personally ignited within Wang Chao erupted completely.

What future!

What resources!

What plan!

In his heart, nothing could compare to the deep affection and gratitude he felt for his mentor and sister.

"I, Wang Chao, act only to have a clear conscience!"
