With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 654 - 560: Will Transformation, Martial Arts Inner Scenery, Sumeru Divine Mountain!

Chapter 654: Chapter 560: Will Transformation, Martial Arts Inner Scenery, Sumeru Divine Mountain!

After speaking, Liao Yuan had a slight smile on his face.

Seemingly wanting to repair his somewhat awkward relationship with Meng Chuan, he looked at him and said:

"If we are to ascend Sumeru Mountain later, we need to measure heaven and earth with physical strength.

Donor Meng, you are the most physically robust among us. Rest well now to conserve your energy."

Meng Chuan didn’t hold back, seeing Liao Yuan’s change in attitude, he smiled and said:

"No problem. If we need to climb the mountain later, I can take the lead. For now, I’ll leave it to Master Yuan."

"It’s a minor task, let this humble monk go and explore the path."

"Remember to leave marks along the way."

Meng Chuan reminded, in case they encounter any mishap, they could follow the traces to find them.

Liao Hai nodded and said:

"Understood, I’ll be back in at most an hour. If I’m not back by then, remember to come looking for me."

After saying that, the two didn’t hesitate any longer and got up to leave.

...

Meng Chuan watched their departing figures, pondering over something.

The core method of Wudang’s True Martial is divided into five major categories.

According to Sect Leader Chen Tuan, he is on one of those paths, the [Demon-slaying Divine Power].

Among them, another major category is called [Water Department Divine Office].

Uncle Zhao Shousui took this path, practicing a divine skill —[Water Emperor Commanding Demon Exorcism Heart Sutra].

When he saw Liao Hai using heavy water for the first time, he realized it was similar to the True Martial Emperor’s Water Department Divine Office method.

He also saw during sparring in Wudang that some used True Qi to create dark heavy water, executing Water Attribute fist stances.

Could such beings as Vajra Bodhisattva, or Celestial King Water Aspect, apart from their external manifestations,

just be following different learning paths and methodologies?

However, essentially, there is no distinction from the Daoist water methods.

Heavy water, being profound dark water, is attributed to the north.

Involving the methods of the water nature of the north, whether Tao or Buddhist, the essence of the cultivation process is "choosing a path to climb the mountain".

Ultimately, the scenery at the mountain’s peak is the same, which is...

All Methods Return to One.

Meng Chuan felt that this thought had vaguely touched on some origin of martial arts creation...

Linking to the immortals and buddhas not only facilitates dissemination but also allows one’s martial spirit core to be spread further under the guise of immortals and buddhas.

What benefits could he gain from thinking this way?

It’s merely seeing through the surface to the essence.

Martial arts were always created by people, merely wrapped with a layer of the immortals and buddhas facade to appear grandiose.

At the same moment, Meng Chuan suddenly had an epiphany.

A sense of spiritual clarity pervaded him, as if a little cat was scratching, making him itch.

Not wasting this rare opportunity, Meng Chuan utilized the insight to observe the divine.

In the midst of it, he captured the ethereal internal will.

[Do not worship immortals and buddhas, only cultivate oneself, merging the essence of life and martial arts to understand truth]

This is his consistent embodiment of the [Martial Dao Will].

Accompanied by spiritual clarity, this thought became increasingly grand in his mind.

It even hinted at an enlightenment through intuiting one’s nature by the methods of Tao and Buddhist teachings.

"Liao Hai and Liao Yuan have returned, call for me."

He instructed, then immediately sat cross-legged in meditation.

...

Half an hour passed by swiftly.

The aura around Meng Chuan became more expansive.

Liao Chen and Liao Qing turned a blind eye to this scene.

They had no choice, as they were already used to it...

From descending into the Demon Nest to today, only about ten days had passed.

Meng Chuan would have epiphanies and suddenly make progress every now and then, which was nothing unusual...

They merely moved closer to Meng Chuan to provide protection.

And learn in the process...

At the same time, as the anomalies around Meng Chuan arose.

In the blink of an eye, his sight soared to the [Martial Arts Firmament].

It was precisely the manifestation form of martial arts will inside his body.

With a round of insight, the scene of martial arts will manifesting within him became even more vast and boundless.

The six major acupoints were like six nails firmly rooted deep within, manifesting high in the sky.

Using perception to touch it, the sensation was completely different from before, possessing not only "form" but also "substance".

The starlight it emitted was extremely glittering, so intense that it seemed likely to escape from the firmament.

Meng Chuan felt that if he "reached out," he could even draw it out!

Whoo——

His mind was somewhat agitated.

Could it be that at this moment, he could project the star sea within him into reality?

Where the starlight transforms into a cloak, greatly augmenting his physical body!

This is also the best ability for other martial arts practitioners who don’t cultivate hard skills, to protect themselves.

He did not rush but chose to finish watching all the changes before trying.

The six major acupoints are merely the foundation for the starlight cloak.

To completely materialize a form, cooperation from the 355 stars below is needed.

Meng Chuan wasn’t very confident in fully manifesting it.

After all, there were more than a hundred stars and acupoints that hadn’t yet been filled with Qi Blood.

To draw the starlight power from the acupoints out of the body, besides martial arts will combined with momentum and using the mind to alter reality,

it also requires strong Qi Blood support.

The reason is simple.

Qi Blood is the substantial support for all "ethereal" things, including [Fist Stance], [Fist Intent], and other martial abilities.

As his view shifted downward, the star trajectory, spreading like a spider web, was particularly dazzling, reflected by the stars more than half lit up.

It was no longer like a 3D print, hollow inside, appearing as a mere shell only able to store Qi Blood.

Using perception to touch it, it felt as though he was enveloped in a warming, peculiar energy.

Through further guidance, the lit up acupoints radiated with brilliance.

With a luminous stream-like glow, transformed into a long and silvery chain, circulating endlessly along the celestial trajectory.

Going through another transformation via his martial arts will, the starlight thoroughly condensed, transformed into a cloak!

It’s just a pity that many acupoints were still unlit, remaining dim.

Meng Chuan estimated that the current starlight drawn might only be able to protect half of his body...
