Chapter 455 - 420: The Pillar, Most Wanted Target, It’s Freaking You Again!
The voice of Commander Qin was stern and cold, causing Meng Chuan to nod thoughtfully.In his mind, he thought he should remind his uncle and aunt later not to "randomly believe in religion" without reason.
As more and more temples emerged, the situation of magical contamination became increasingly severe.
If these contaminated beliefs spread to Yong’an City, they would threaten his only weak spot — his family.
Thinking of this, Meng Chuan pursued further inquiry:
"Commander Qin, how should these confiscated statues be handled? If any contamination remains..."
Qin Yue took out a crimson jade talisman from the void, with the true word "Burn" inscribed on its surface.
"This is the Purity Fire Talisman, made by Daojun Wuyang, the former abbot of the Eight Immortals Temple. It can completely purify the will of the Celestial Demon carried within these statues and sever the connection between the Celestial Demon and the incense power."
"With the Daojun’s authorization, our military has analyzed this talisman and will produce it in bulk later.
At that time it will be available in the merit armory, allowing you to purchase and carry some with you for a more proactive stance against concept-type Celestial Demons hiding."
"That’s great."
Zheng Chengcheng also nodded in agreement, having witnessed the power of such Celestial Demons today.
Had he not intervened earlier to cut off its source from continuously drawing incense power from the statue...
He feared that he wouldn’t have lasted until Meng Chuan’s arrival, and would have been forced to activate the stonemastics.
Together with Chen Xuan, they would undergo humanity’s destructive action at the Celestial King level...
If he had possessed such a fire talisman back then, completely stopping it from drawing power...
The crisis might have been significantly reduced; he might have been able to handle the opponent himself.
Upon hearing this, Meng Chuan’s gaze shifted slightly, and he pondered in his heart:
"The Purity Fire Talisman is indeed useful; if equipped earlier, today’s battle wouldn’t have been so difficult.
However, Martial Arts are the foundation, and external aids are ultimately auxiliary.
If I want to better combat such Celestial Demons, I must first enhance my own abilities related to spirit."
Just as he had grasped earlier, the embryonic form of Intention, the surging waves, and the blazing flame on his body.
This is not an illusion affecting the Heart Spirit due to the martial arts momentum.
But a real manifestation that influences reality through one’s magnetic field.
To strengthen the power of his Intention, the method lies in what his master said before, in the first half of the sentence:
[Transform the magnetic field with the heart’s intention].
The heart’s intention is the fusion of will and spirit, which jointly enhances the intensity of Intention.
The stronger the Spiritual Power, the more seamless the entire transformation process is.
When the spirit is refined like steel, a single thought can trigger a martial arts momentum, naturally boosting the power of the Intention.
This was why, back when his master was in the martial arts hall, with just a feeling of displeasure in his heart, a single thought arose.
He could summon "dark clouds overhead, with peals of thunder."
His master was someone with "Innate Fulfillment of Spirit," whereas he himself was innately deficient in spirit...
Future cultivation of Spiritual Power will be assisted by Tao Heart.
As for the elevation of the Spirit’s foundation and the transformation of the Spirit’s quality, he has a long way to go.
However, Meng Chuan was already far ahead by understanding the embryo of Intention at the initial entry into the second limit.
Many newly promoted Three-Limit Martial Arts Masters can’t grasp the power of Intention immediately.
Meng Chuan doesn’t have to worry; on the day he enters the third limit, Intention will grow simultaneously!
Afterward, Zheng Chengcheng couldn’t add to the conversation.
Meng Chuan sought guidance from Commander Qin on the embryonic form of Intention he had just realized for a long time.
The deeper their conversation went, the more Qin Yue realized Meng Chuan’s profound martial arts attainments.
Initially, he thought the other’s rapid advancement might result in a lack of foundation.
At this moment, Qin Yue completely dispelled this notion.
During their martial arts discussion, he truly understood why Lu Zhenshou valued this young man so much.
Qin Yue marveled in his heart:
"In the near future, our San Qin land might produce a truly significant figure..."
With the passing of Qin Xiang, who shocked the Eight Desolates with his fist, and Daojun Wuyang gradually aging,
The vast land of San Qin needs someone truly capable to defend the homeland in response to upcoming major crises.
A Venerable isn’t enough, and even a Celestial King can’t play a decisive role.
Only... a seventh-limit Martial Arts Great Saint!
Thinking of this, Qin Yue also abandoned the idea of having Meng Chuan join the military.
Meng Chuan is a direct disciple of Northern United University, naturally not possible to join the "Central Military Academy."
Apart from the Four-sided Alliance University and Central Academy, as well as the five great Tao Buddhist sects that have been passed down since ancient times.
Other forces, including the Defense Army,
Have not cultivated the "Martial Arts Foundation" of the seventh limit.
"This young man’s future is the stars and the sea; confined in the military camp, he would be rather restricted.
In the future, I will give him more conveniences so that he remembers the goodness of his homeland, and in the future protects our San Qin land, this would be a bond."
Thinking of this, Qin Yue’s voice guiding Meng Chuan became even more amiable.
...
The two were like old friends despite their age difference, sipping cola, engaging in a question-and-answer, and didn’t notice the time flew by.
After a long time, Zheng Chengcheng was almost falling asleep.
Meng Chuan had finally thoroughly understood the concepts related to the martial arts Intention.
Commander Qin was a Martial Arts Venerable, surpassing even his master and Grandmaster Chen in school in related theories.
But he was from the military, lacking much experience in teaching.
During explanations, some theories seemed slightly awkward and convoluted.
Yet Meng Chuan kept everything in mind, planning to revisit them for understanding when his martial arts theories improved.
Qin Yue also suddenly realized that time had passed too long, checking his watch, he hadn’t practiced today.
"Alright, both of you return now. The reward for the task will be credited within three days; remember to inform Chen Xuan.
Zheng Chengcheng, please convey my regards to Celestial King Zheng, your grandmother, when you return."
Zheng Chengcheng nodded in agreement while feeling speechless internally.
"You hardly pay attention to me, but now you remember, to greet my grandmother..."
json
Qin Yue was also decisive and swift, and after speaking, she vanished from the military tent in the blink of an eye.
Meng Chuan and Zheng Chengcheng stayed overnight in Fucheng, and returned to Yong’an early the next morning.
...
Meanwhile, Li Xiao, who was secretly deploying Demon Path forces on the Central Plains.
He received the devastating news that the Fucheng branch had been eradicated.
Upon first receiving this news, Li Xiao was unusually furious.
He hadn’t expected Fucheng, which had just been thriving, to be wiped out completely.
His mood was understandable.
Later, his thoughts gradually calmed down:
"The fact that the Demon Nest under the command of the Divine Master Zulong has been exposed as contaminated by Lü Dongbin Demon is already apparent.
Therefore, Fucheng would sooner or later become a pawn to be discarded, not worth too much concern."
However, he carefully reviewed the direct "culprit" responsible for the destruction of the Fucheng branch presented by his subordinates.
"It’s this Meng Chuan again, you damn kid, it’s you again!"
Li Xiao laughed in anger.
"You’ve broken two? You’ve got great potential..."
The name had appeared early on the [Demon Path Bounty List], and when he killed Li Xiao’s followers, Li Xiao didn’t pay much attention.
He could wipe out a small Martial Artist with just a glance.
But how long has it been, yet he’s reached the second limit?
A sense of urgency surged in Li Xiao’s heart; he had heard that Pei Shan’s death was extremely brutal.
Perhaps it is yet another little fellow who abhors the Demon Path.
Such individuals must be exterminated early before they fully grow!
Upon thinking this, he called in his subordinates for a detailed discussion.
Soon, a brand new internal bounty was produced.
[Name: Meng Chuan]
[Age: Close to 20 years (Highly Potential)]
[Strength: Second Major Limit (Extremely Combat-Proficient)]
...
[Reward: A top-notch divine artifact, one chance to learn from Li Xiao Hall Master’s Divine Skill, three billion in bounty, one opportunity to face the Divine Master, listing as a candidate for ascending to the Divine Kingdom.]
A series of rewards almost match those for hunting the well-known Three-Limit Martial Arts Master.
Meng Chuan, at this moment, is nearly ranked as the top must-kill target of the Demon Path!
As for why the name of Martial Arts Grandmaster is absent from the list.
The Demon Path is ultimately weak.
Even the Demon Path leader Li Xiao can’t gain much advantage against a Martial Arts Grandmaster; who could accomplish the bounty...
If it weren’t for the Demon Path forces hiding and being elusive, unable to be caught completely.
Great Chu could simply dispatch a Venerable Celestial King to obliterate them all.
The greatest enemy of humanity has always been the Celestial Demon.
And the Demon Path is like flies circling around meat, annoying yet always uncaptured.
Simultaneously, more concept-based Celestial Demons are being born in the world along with the Demon Nest.
They can erode ordinary people through the power of faith, which is the deadly threat shaking the foundation of Martial Arts!
...
Early the next morning.
Yong’an City, Martial Artist Hospital.
Meng Chuan had originally been here before, spending a night with Zheng Zhenzhen.
At this moment, he was with Zheng Chengcheng to check on the condition of a comrade.
Chen Xuan was undergoing mental treatment, with several tubes connected to him, and was practicing Dragon and Tiger Stance Skill while still on the bed.
Meng Chuan nodded secretly, this martial spirit is worthy of his learning...
He realized it wasn’t just him involved; those who are considered peerless martial prodigies have talent and diligence.
Seeing the two visit him, Chen Xuan expressed gratitude to Meng Chuan:
"I must thank Brother Meng this time, I owe you my life. Should you need it, Chen Xuan will go through fire and water."
"No need to be polite."
Meng Chuan waved his hand.
Last night, Grandmaster Shen Shuo’s wife, Aunt Bai, also called to thank him for saving her direct disciple and invited him to Shanghai for dinner.
Zheng Chengcheng stood nearby, looking embarrassed.
He almost wiped out Chen Xuan along with the Celestial Demon attached to him...
Chen Xuan was reasonable and understood the other was also holding out until the last moment, before preparing to use a contingency measure.
He also thanked Zheng Chengcheng, as he managed to hold out until Meng Chuan arrived, showing some gratitude...
After chatting for a while and confirming Chen Xuan was fine, Meng Chuan and Zheng Chengcheng prepared to say goodbye and leave.
Chen Xuan insisted on seeing the two off downstairs, then cupped his hands and said:
"Brother Meng, Brother Zheng, once I recover, let’s fight again someday!"
Zheng Chengcheng pointed at Meng Chuan, asking:
"Fight who, fight him?"
Before breaking through to Grandmaster, Zheng Chengcheng had no thoughts of challenging Meng Chuan again.
Over ten meters tall, fists the size of washing machines.
People have mastered the power of intention, which second limits could withstand?
Even if he succeeded in the break-three, mastering the magic emblem, he wouldn’t be keen on challenging.
After all, Meng Chuan wouldn’t stand still; he’d only grow stronger.
"Unless... until I achieve Grandmaster status, mastering [Buddha Zen Dragon and Tiger Divine Skill]..."
Zheng Chengcheng had great confidence in his grandmother’s Elephant Form Sect divine skill.
Then, relying on the might of divine skill, he would challenge again and wash away previous shame!
