With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal Chapter 498 - 459: Core Hardening Trait Target, Ren-Gui Xuan

Zhao Shousui heard this and said earnestly:

"Nephew, think about it. If Principal Sui sends you in, but the Celestial King sees through your insincerity, do you think you’re very likely to receive the teachings?"

"..."

ng Chuan imdiately thought of the difference between the two. Originally, it was "Ancestor Han Zhongli" who was about to pass away, so he sought him out first...

As for the True Martial Celestial King...

The four Celestial Kings and one Martial Arts Great Saint, along with the countless Wudang Sect martial artists.

The possibility of the "Celestial King’s passing" is almost zero...

"Moreover, Principal Chen, the old man, didn’t send you into the True Martial Dharma Realm, but rather the [Xuanwu Dharma Realm].

The True Martial Celestial King sits with tortoise and serpent combined, forming Xuanwu. The thods of both are indeed the studies of True Martial, but they aren’t the core.

You want to learn hard skills, the thods of Xuanwu should satisfy you, so don’t think about the Celestial King’s thods anymore."

The core thods of True Martial are also called the Celestial King’s thods.

The Xuanwu thods, like the Celestial King’s thods, follow the path of "divine empowernt through incense."

Zhao Shousui ant that Principal Chen had to cheat in two ways.

Not only had to send himself in, but also had to "bribe" Xuanwu...

Thank Principal Chen, grateful...

He pondered for a mont, then voiced his thoughts and asked:

"Uncle Master, I mainly want to learn a technique that can..."

ng Chuan, based on the experience of [Five Elents Qiankun Fist], proposed the conception for a Horizontal Training Skill with core hard skill traits.

A few days ago, he browsed the Horizontal Training section of the Sutra Pavilion and found nothing.

At the sa ti, he also asked Wang Ye to help him look.

Both worked hard, but there wasn’t a single Horizontal Training thod with a unified the and inclusive approach.

The level of Horizontal Training Skill he imagined in his mind couldn’t be reached by these martial arts.

With his hard skills martial understanding, he simply entered a few books, gaining so insight into hard skills of this nature.

But he returned equally disappointed.

From then on, he knew that the cultivation technique he sought, if it existed in Wudang.

Was either in the True Martial core or in the Xuanwu thods.

He brought up the proposal hoping Uncle Master Zhao could help him make a judgnt.

If it were the True Martial core thod, a phone call to Principal Sui would be required...

In ng Chuan’s heart, Principal Sui, who was about to step into the Great Saint Realm, might have a way to help him...

For instance, the old Master Principal Chen couldn’t bribe the Celestial King.

Could the Wudang’s [True Martial Great Saint] patriarch bribe...

Ultimately, it was the divine empowering through incense, though this talk might be unpleasant to hear.

Yet the True Martial Celestial King was also built from the faith of generations of followers and the Wudang patriarch’s collective spiritual force, gathered to form a divine body and godhead post-heaven through incense power.

There are no innate gods or Buddhas in this world, all are post-heavenly deities ford through incense.

ng Chuan didn’t believe it, in this age, learning martial arts could be so difficult...

On the other side, Zhao Shousui, after listening to ng Chuan’s thoughts, laughed and said:

"You an you want to rely on our Daoist thods to establish your foundation in Horizontal Training?"

"Yes, exactly what I an!"

"Oh... then why practice so many monk skills!"

"...A matter of chance, Uncle Master, let’s drink, I toast you..."

Uncle Master Zhao’s change in conversation was so fast, ng Chuan was caught off guard and felt a bit embarrassed.

"Ah, you might have strayed off path before, but having this thought of turning back now isn’t too late...

Let think first, Xuanwu Tortoise General lineage is a collection of many hard skills.

To establish the cornerstone of your physique... the Dharma Body series is more suitable for you."

The words Dharma Body piqued ng Chuan’s interest.

The Five Elents "Dharma Body" Limit Breaking brings many benefits.

Moreover, the words Dharma Body also imply a sowhat inclusive aning.

"The Dharma Body Horizontal Training series ranges from the second-tier [Giant Turtle Solid Shell Skill], to the first-tier [Baxia Heaven-Supporting Skill], up to the True Skill Level [Xuanwu Refining True Body], and currently only with so Chapters of [Ren and Gui Xuanwu Immortal Dao Sutra]."

"Uncle Master, is that last one the divine skill in Horizontal Training?"

ng Chuan asked curiously.

"Indeed, but our Wudang ancestor only initiated this Dao Sutra supre skill.

Its conception is too profound, comparable to the renowned Dragon Elephant Prajna, hence difficult to cultivate.

Currently practicing it, as far as I know, only the Sect Leader of Songxi Sect, Daojun Zhang Jingshi, has researched it to the 10th layer, barely entering the mastery level."

ng Chuan nodded, he had heard that this Daojun was the most formidable Celestial King on Wudang Mountain.

It seems that besides dual mastery of fist and sword, Daojun Zhang’s Horizontal Training is also exceptional...

"Didn’t Pure Yang Great Saint cultivate this thod?"

"No, he specializes in the Emperor’s vein thods, which are also key to maintaining the martial aura of the True Martial Celestial King, with the matter of demonic contamination being significant, he has no ti to attend to Xuanwu thods."

ng Chuan nodded in agreent, Uncle Master Zhao also ntioned earlier that among the eight divine skills of True Martial, there is also a hard skill.

Zhao Shousui continued to say:

"However, luckily, the divine skill of the Emperor’s vein in Horizontal Training fundantally intends towards [Avatar Responding to Calamities], not the hard skills you ntioned earlier.

And I think, with your Three Flowers Essence talent, the Xuanwu Dharma Body series suits you better.

If you can reach the realm of Daojun Zhang Jingshi, your body will transform into an eternal rock, even divine weapons can only leave shallow marks after cutting.

Standing firm, even earthshakes and landslides would be hard to sway, with Qi Blood transforming into Xuanwu True Blood, each drop carrying the aning of immortality, even if the flesh crumbles and collapses, as long as a wisp of blood remains, it can instantly recombine."

"...Daojun Zhang is truly incredible."

ng Chuan understood that this Xuanwu Dharma Body divine skill, before it reached Daojun Zhang Jingshi’s hands.

Was just like the unknown bloodline hard skill in his hands.

Both were empty fraworks waiting for future generations to supplent.

I am still engaged in a tug-of-war with ordinary hard skills.

Daoist Zhang is already able to fill the frawork of a Divine Skill Level horizontal training technique and continue it forward.

In comparison, my Innate Horizontal Training Holy Body still needs effort; I cannot beco complacent over small achievents.

ng Chuan cald his thoughts and listened to Uncle Master Zhao:

"Alright, I don’t really understand the Xuanwu Divine Skill either, nor have I practiced Divine Skill Level horizontal training myself.

If you have the chance to learn it in the future, you can ask Daoist Zhang. I won’t say much, lest I mislead the younger generation."

"Uncle Master, your greatest trait is humility! Your insights have already pointed in the right direction, not misleading at all."

Zhao Shousui’s hand holding the wine cup trembled slightly, and a hint of joy flickered in his eyes:

"Nephew, if you can speak well, do so more often. Uncle Master truly enjoys hearing you speak.

Rember my words: even if you leave Wudang Mountain, whenever you encounter sothing uncertain, feel free to ask.

I may not practice the Xuanwu Dharma Body, but the detours I’ve taken and principles I’ve heard can always offer a reminder.

Let’s set aside the matter of Divine Skills for now, and I’ll detail the [Xuanwu Refining True Body] for you.

This technique surpasses all True Skill Level horizontal training in the Daoist School; ordinary hard skills mostly train the [form], rely imitating the toughness of scales and the strength of tendons and bones.

This thod, however, absorbs the essence of Xuanwu’s [tranquilizing the north, commanding the elents, and Profound Yuan Unity], fusing the earth’s toughest and Yin Yang unity, tempering the physical body to achieve transcendence and sanctification. What you seek to establish as the foundation of the body is precisely..."

After listening to Uncle Master Zhao’s introduction, ng Chuan nodded vigorously:

"Yes, this is exactly what I want to practice."

He felt that the Xuanwu Dharma Body series was likely the thod he sought.

Among the remaining Divine Skills, the other three doors might hold the [core characteristic of hard skills].

Or perhaps a relationship similar to the Five Elents Qiankun Fist and Qiankun thod, which can aid the core characteristic’s progression in future practice.

On the panel: [Five Qi Chaoyuan (Third Grade Core)].

Previously, when breaking through the first major limit, the Five Elents Fist progressed to the Five Elents thod.

At that ti, the rank of Five Qi Chaoyuan should have been promoted.

Thus, I could clear the path unhindered, advancing Five Qi Chaoyuan to the third grade before it stalled.

"To practice the Xuanwu Refining True Body, Second-tier [Giant Tortoise Hard Shell Skill] and First-tier [Baxia Heaven-Supporting Skill] must be practiced. These two are essentially simplified versions, or pre-requisite hard skills, for the True Skill of Xuanwu.

The second-tier thod, improved by later generations, can be practiced without a Dharma Realm transmission. I happened to have practiced it, so I will teach you in advance."

For the latter, you shall wait for Sect Master Chen Tuan to finish his retreat and journey through the Dharma Realm."

ng Chuan thanked him:

"Thank you, Uncle Master!"

From Dragon ditation to Qi Nourishing and Cyan Netherworld Dual Cultivation, and everything thereafter on the mountain.

If Wang Ye isn’t capable, he’d support Uncle Master Zhao in old age!

Zhao Shousui waved with a smile:

"Alright, stop joking around. Co to tomorrow at noon; I’ll initiate you. I need to prepare first."

"Prepare what?"

Second-tier hard skills aren’t that difficult, right...

Just explain once, grasp the stimulating acupoint positions oneself. Practice adjusting the Qi in the Shanzhong a bit, and get started.

"Prepare a Third Grade True Martial Stick, as Giant Tortoise Skill, despite its low level, involves nurous hard skill treasure acupoints on the back, beyond just strengthening the organs. I’ll help locate them for you tomorrow; after that, you’ll practice on your own."

"Uncle Master, do you use a stick to locate them?"

"Indeed, transforming true energy into hand isn’t accurate enough; you’ll need the stick to carefully find each one."

"...Thank you for your effort."

...

By the following afternoon, ng Chuan left Uncle Master Zhao’s ho, patting his back.

It had been so ti since the last beating; the numb feeling of the Third Grade True Martial Stick striking his back reminded him again of past painful experiences...

But it was all worthwhile.

With this thod, initiation was achieved easily.

ng Chuan decisively practiced the related acupoints to today’s limit before leaving.

Checked the panel:

[Giant Tortoise Hard Shell Skill: Initiation (30%) Awaiting Limit Breaking]

[Limit Breaking Characteristic: Tortoise Shell (Low-grade)]

The Limit Breaking characteristic wasn’t the core hard skills I needed most.

But it’s not a big problem, no matter how praised this thod is, it’s still second-tier.

ng Chuan didn’t hold much hope from the start.

One must understand that [Five Elents Qiankun Fist] is a top-notch skill among first-tier martial arts.

If compared to hard skills, those containing core characteristic thods should also be advanced hard skills of this thod.

[Baxia Heaven-Supporting Skill].

"To practice Baxia Skill, Giant Tortoise Skill’s preparatory training must be completed first. So let’s practice it too, since Sect Master Chen is still in retreat, urgency is pointless..."

Based on today’s proficiency improvent rate.

Three days to proficiency, then five more days to mastery.

Even if subsequent difficulty raises, achieving perfection within a month is no big issue, quite practicable.

Gathering himself, he stood in the courtyard, prepared to complete the day’s remaining three horizontal training thods.

Currently, priority is practicing Giant Tortoise Skill to lay the foundation for Baxia Skill.

Thus, the regular daily four thod combined training must make room for one.

ng Chuan pondered, muttering softly:

"The Brahma Heaven Calming Prison training, apart from enhancing overall quality, also strengthens the body’s endurance.

Breakthrough to mastery allows [Five thods Combined Training]; certainly cannot cease.

Cyan Netherworld Dragon Lock Body, pushing for limit breaking of [Bone Flower], while Baoxiang Golden Venerable Skill, post-proficiency, will restore all my hair...

Hence, both are very important, cannot be interrupted."
