Chapter 97 A whim

Today's Li Hongzhuang, in both her attire and demeanor, is completely different from the Li Hongzhuang on the Yangtze River that day.

On the Yangtze River, Li Hongzhuang crossed the river on a single bamboo pole. Under the moonlight, her white dress was as white as snow, and her aura was pure and peaceful, like a great Bodhisattva. But now, however, she was dressed in red like fire, with murderous intent covering her like a female demon.

Chu Ming knew that this wasn't because Li Hongzhuang had a twin sister, but because there was a problem with Li Hongzhuang's cultivation.

Li Hongzhuang's killing fist technique was too intense in its killing intent. Although she made rapid progress at the beginning of her training, in a sense, she was walking down the path of demonic cultivation.

Therefore, after cultivating to the point of pure yang blood, Li Hongzhuang attempted to use her own killing intent as a foundation to integrate a completely opposite divine will, evolve yin and yang tai chi, and confuse the primordial chaos in order to correct the martial arts.

However, it is no easy task to reconcile a contrary divine will; the difficulty is no less than reconciling water and fire.

Therefore, Li Hongzhuang's mental state was very unstable. Sometimes the will to live prevailed, and she was a great Bodhisattva; other times the will to die prevailed, and she was a female demon.

Of course, Li Hongzhuang did not reach the point of mental breakdown; she still had a personality, only that this personality was sometimes kind and generous, and sometimes fierce and vengeful.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ming said calmly, "The 'beauty adding fragrance to the sleeves' is nothing but a scholar's trick. Compared to the brilliance of martial arts, how can the beauty of a beauty adding fragrance to the sleeves be even a fraction of the brilliance of martial arts?"

"A martial arts legend, I never imagined you could achieve it so easily!" Li Hongzhuang looked at Chu Ming, her gaze somewhat dazed.

Several months ago, on the Yangtze River, although she was defeated by Chu Ming, she only felt that she was not as skilled as him.

But now, she is still in the stage of pure yang blood transformation, while Chu Ming has become a martial arts legend, reaching the realm that she has pursued all her life.

All of this made her feel as if she were in a dream.

In her mental perception, Chu Ming was like a combination of infinite power, constantly clashing with heaven and earth. That feeling was so powerful, vast, and invincible that it was simply inhuman!

Although Chu Ming was powerful before he became a martial arts legend, he certainly didn't have this kind of aura.

"Speak, what do you want from me?!"

"They say martial arts legends are quick-witted, have the power to act on impulse, and the ability to foresee the future. Guess why I'm here?" Li Hongzhuang didn't answer Chu Ming directly, but suddenly asked with a smile, revealing a charming and coquettish tone, not at all like a person who was nearly forty years old.

Logically speaking, Chu Ming is a junior, and as an elder, she shouldn't show such an attitude in front of him. However, as Chu Ming has cultivated into a martial arts legend, some laws of the secular world have become ineffective against him.

No one would treat Chu Ming as a junior, nor would anyone dare to. On the contrary, if Chu Ming were to announce that he would open his doors wide and recruit disciples, many martial arts masters in their sixties and seventies would be tempted.

As for mythology, some aspects of it can no longer be measured by worldly standards.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ming closed his eyes. After about two seconds, he opened them and said, "It must be that one from the Heavenly Dao who has emerged from seclusion. She wants to see me, and she's waiting for me in the Azure Wave Pavilion right now!"

"Do you have the ability to read minds?"

Li Hongzhuang's expression changed.

Although she knew that martial arts legends possessed various supernatural abilities, she never expected that Chu Ming would even specify the location so clearly.

"For martial arts legends, the thoughts of ordinary people are transparent, but once you reach the Grandmaster realm of extreme spiritual transformation, this ability becomes useless, so you don't need to worry," Chu Ming said.

He didn't actually read Li Hongzhuang's mind just now; rather, he used his spiritual power to grasp that fleeting insight.

This is an advanced version of acting on a whim. When ordinary people act on a whim, they only feel that something big is about to happen, but they cannot know exactly what it is. However, at Chu Ming's level, if he exerts all his strength to circulate his primordial spirit, he can get a glimpse of it.

This is also the power of martial arts legends. Just like now, if an ordinary person wanted to deal with Chu Ming, for example, by using missiles or even nuclear bombs, they could destroy Chu Ming physically.

In this situation, unless the other party is also a master of the mythical realm and uses their primordial spirit power to deceive Chu Ming's mind, Chu Ming can sense that someone is going to deal with him as soon as he has a thought.

This method is absolutely terrifying.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Chu Ming stood up and walked out of the building.

Chu Ming is currently in the capital city of China.

After discussing Taoism with the old Taoist for ten days, Chu Ming first stayed at the Kunlun Taoist lineage for half a month, learning about the Kunlun tradition before leaving and heading directly to Shaolin Temple.

Chu Ming stayed at Shaolin Temple for five days before heading to Wudang Mountain, where he also read many classic texts.

Wudang Mountain is also called Wudang Taoist lineage. There is no so-called Wudang sect. It is a combination of many Taoist temples and has a long history.

Unlike the Kunlun lineage, neither Wudang nor Shaolin produced any legendary masters in this era.

The last legendary master of Wudang was Zhang Sanfeng, and as for Shaolin, the last martial arts legend was Bodhidharma. As for later generations, no one has been able to break through this barrier.

This trip earned Chu Ming a total of fifty Source Points, which, together with the initial fifteen Source Points, were all used on the One Qi Six Yang Heavenly Gang Child Skill, raising this martial art to level 30.

The One Qi Six Yang Child Skill at the innate level requires 6 source points for each level advancement, a consumption that is undoubtedly enormous compared to the other skills.

However, real-world cultivation is not a game, so there is no such thing as class balance. The Qi path is the slowest and most difficult, and it has high requirements for the environment, but it is also the most comprehensive, because once the Qi path is improved, the essence, energy, spirit, mind and momentum will be improved simultaneously, only with different priorities.

To advance rapidly to the innate level of Qi cultivation, one needs to refine the essence of heaven and earth. The power of the source point is mostly transformed into innate true Qi, which is undoubtedly a waste.

In Chu Ming's view, using the source points to deduce the cultivation technique was undoubtedly the most cost-effective. However, the essence of heaven and earth was scarce, and if Chu Ming wanted to improve his Qi Dao, he could only add points directly.

Finally, Chu Ming arrived in the capital, went straight into the palace, and inspected the royal armory.

The imperial armory also contained a considerable number of martial arts manuals, though many overlapped with those Chu Ming had previously reviewed. Of course, there were also many that were not found in Buddhism or Taoism. Although Buddhism and Taoism had a long history spanning thousands of years, the nation was the true master of this land. If they wanted to collect martial arts manuals, what manual couldn't they find?!

Many martial arts techniques that circulated among the common people were included in the imperial arsenal.

Chu Ming has been in the capital for ten days, and he has almost searched through the entire Imperial Armory. The martial arts manuals he annotated are now in their last few volumes.

As Chu Ming walked out of the library, the system log was immediately refreshed, and fifteen more Source Points were added, bringing Chu Ming's total Source Points to 20.

With a thought, Chu Ming allocated eighteen points to the One Qi Six Yang Heavenly Gang Child Skill, raising it three levels and making his innate true qi even more powerful, thus increasing his combat strength.
