Chapter 446 - 411: Entering the Imagerial Realm Again, Innate Shackles, and Searching the Mountains and Forests
[Dragon Meditation: Third Level (85%)]He felt increasingly satisfied in his heart, it seemed that his Tao Heart had not slackened recently.
The third level is the final level; upon reaching perfection, it contains spiritual power that can enhance his cognitive abilities.
That is to say, comprehension.
For a Martial Arts Family member, if they wish to learn and master divine skills, comprehension is more important than one’s natural talent.
Moreover, Meng Chuan had an even bolder conjecture:
"This type of secret technique cannot break the limit, but can it be integrated with other martial arts..."
Once it reaches perfection, Meng Chuan plans to attempt just that.
Secret techniques are extracted from the "essence" of divine skills.
If they can be integrated with ordinary martial arts, the improvement could be considerable.
Moreover, he intuitively understood:
If one wishes to "create" a divine skill by integration.
One must definitely refer to other divine skills similar to the conception.
As for how to reference and break other divine skills and integrate them, that’s certainly impossible.
If one has the level of breaking limits of divine skills, there’s no need to integrate anything; they are probably already a Martial God in the world... Orıginal content can be found at novel_fіre.net
So how should one proceed?
Meng Chuan speculated the answer lies in these, the secret techniques related to divine skills.
These are still far off; he just has some speculations, and will slowly try after Dragon Meditation reaches perfection.
...
Coming back to his senses, Meng Chuan suddenly noticed something in his mind, flickering in and out.
Inspecting introspectively, he discovered it was the Tiger Emblem causing trouble, which he had acquired from Shang Ruyi.
With so much happening recently, he almost forgot the dead tiger in the Imaginary World...
At this moment, Meng Chuan introspected into the sea of consciousness, looking at the emblem flickering intermittently, as if "enticing" him to enter.
"What’s the meaning of this, hasn’t the dead tiger seen me for a long time and misses me?"
Meng Chuan speculated on why it was flickering, analyzing the reasons.
Is it similar to the prior Lake Crane Emblem, ready to disappear and "bid farewell" to him?
Or... does it have a reason to find him?
Meng Chuan was about to give up; the last few times he went in, this dead tiger didn’t teach him anything, just sent him out with a swat.
Seeing this scene, he suddenly felt there might still be hope.
"Maybe it will really teach me the Tiger Form Divine Skill..."
He felt that as he broke more limits regarding modifying the qualities of his meridians and bones, and the most critical Pile Skill limit breaking.
Eventually, he would be able to dual-cultivate Xingyi and Elephant Form, achieving an unprecedented feat.
Therefore, collecting these top Elephant Form martial arts in advance isn’t a waste of time, but a prudent preparation.
Meng Chuan’s urge to gamble resurfaced, and after convincing himself.
He made a firm decision to enter.
A Cloud Water Pill is just four million; he can afford to gamble.
After all, if he gets knocked out, it’s just a bit of discomfort in his head...
...
The mountain forest unfolded before him like a painting.
The enhancement of his spiritual power allowed him to glimpse a piece of the [Imaginary World]’s composition.
"It’s just like the previous illusionary Dharma Realm of Brahma, and the power of swapping heavens and changing the earth with a wave from the Great Saint Xun..."
Smelling the tiger scent in the air, Meng Chuan regained his composure.
He saw that giant striped tiger suspended in mid-air, looking down on him with an expression of having waited for a long time.
Seeing the twitch of the tiger whiskers at the corner of its mouth, he understood it was signaling him to begin the Fist Skill...
Meng Chuan remained motionless, wanting to test whether the attitude of the long-unseen dead tiger had improved.
The tiger squinted at him.
Gradually, from all directions around him, a pressure like Mount Tai was pressing down.
Meng Chuan cursed internally and then had no choice but to start practicing the[Fierce Tiger Fist].
If he did not act, his body might be completely compressed and burst by the invisible force in the air.
That is the power of the opponent that Meng Chuan couldn’t fathom.
However, he vaguely sensed, if this tiger could appear in the real world.
Based solely on its momentum, not even a Celestial King might subdue this creature.
Once, twice, thrice...
Meng Chuan only knew the Tiger Form Boxing, seeing the dead tiger unresponsive, he repeatedly practiced it.
During the punching process, he merely stretched his fists and kicked his legs according to the routine.
Restricted by his meridians, he could not employ Qi Blood and Qi Strength to exert force.
The fierce beast always hovered in mid-air, its gaze changing from calm to pensive.
It spoke human words, its voice rumbling like a roar:
"Roar! Continue punching, don’t stop."
Under the eaves of somebody else’s house, one must bow one’s head.
Meng Chuan stopped thinking about unnecessary matters and continued punching till it ended.
Judging by the opponent’s attitude, even if he ended up dying again today, he might reap some benefits...
After punching for another ten minutes, the giant striped tiger seemed to have thought of something.
Suddenly, with a swipe of its paw in the air, an invisible Qi Strength instantly altered the course of Meng Chuan’s punch.
Meng Chuan instantly felt something pressing on his back.
He could only lower his head slightly, tensing his back like a drawn longbow.
Following this, Qi Strength surrounded his arms, making him actually exhibit some semblance of the Tiger Form.
Although now he was being restrained by the opponent, Meng Chuan was not annoyed, but rather a bit excited.
Because this dead tiger was finally acting "human," it was teaching him something real!
Inside him, the main branches of the meridians transformed by the Three Talents Posture creaked with seemingly unspeakable torsional pressure.
Meng Chuan didn’t notice, but the hovering tiger was secretly nodding.
At this moment, he squatted like a poised fierce tiger, his shoulders sagged, elbows drooping, and his fists clenched like tiger claws.
As he practiced the Fierce Tiger Fist, his punches resembled a famished tiger lunging for prey, his body followed the punch’s momentum, and his waist twisted like a swaying tail.
Stepping forward, like a tiger treading the mountain ridge, his steps were powerful and domineering, and even his gaze carried a fierce gleam akin to a beast.
"Roar! Faster, continue!"
The fierce tiger urged from the air.
Meng Chuan felt as if his meridians were about to explode, fortunately, his willpower was extraordinary.
He gritted his teeth through the pain and continued with his fist practice.
He had a hunch that this dead tiger, like Principal Yang before, had discovered something unusual about his meridians.
After all, during the martial artist stage when he practiced the Three Talents Posture, his meridians had broken their limits once and were indeed different from ordinary people’s.
Then let’s continue and see what exactly the other party wants.
After all, he’s gone through it over a dozen times, yet no initiation prompt has appeared on the panel.
This indicated that, even under the opponent’s guidance.
He couldn’t break through the innate shackles of his meridians to execute the Fierce Tiger Fist infused with Qi Blood and Qi Strength.
...
Time slowly passed, Meng Chuan was drenched in sweat, feeling like he would explode soon.
At this moment, the disintegrating and twisting forces within his body had already spread to every corner of his body.
His whole body’s bones were emitting a distressed sound under the strain of punching and kicking.
If not for his constitution being upgraded to superior, improving his bone quality.
He might have already ’disconnected’...
Seeing that Meng Chuan had reached his limit, the giant tiger in the air suddenly let out a roar.
In an instant, the tiger’s roar transformed into a tangible sonic wave ripple.
The space before Meng Chuan’s eyes distorted and fluctuated like water.
His entire skeletal structure was also assaulted by this sonic wave, nearly collapsing and shrinking.
In an instant, his form completely disintegrated, vanishing from the mountain forest.
After Meng Chuan left, the elegant tiger paced down from mid-air, muttering to itself:
"Why are this human’s meridians so active, as if possessing infinite possibilities.
But still lacking that final bit, it’s a pity this world can no longer sustain..."
It intended to pass a technique to Meng Chuan through the sound waves, but unfortunately, he couldn’t hold on until the end.
How to enter, it had already demonstrated to Meng Chuan.
Future cultivation depends on his comprehension...
...
When Meng Chuan opened his eyes again, he surprisingly found his head wasn’t aching at all.
None of that life-after-death agony felt before.
Just excessive spiritual power consumption, but it didn’t harm the foundation and could self-recover.
Saves a Cloud Water Pill, big win!
Coming to his senses, he realized the Tiger Form mark in his consciousness sea had disappeared.
"The dead tiger is gone..."
Just like the crane before, it vanished from him.
Meng Chuan felt as if he was just a step away from truly grasping the secret of Qi Blood circulation in the Tiger Form Boxing.
Meanwhile, the dead tiger was gone.
The Tiger Form Divine Skill he had been longing for was gone too, a pity...
While adjusting his breath, he calmed his somewhat agitated heart spirit.
"In dreams, there are six realms, when awakened, there is nothing in the vast universe."
He increasingly understood the meaning of this Buddhist verse.
"The path of my Martial Arts has infinite possibilities, what harm if I miss it, I shouldn’t be immersed in it..."
Meanwhile, Meng Chuan found a surprise on the panel.
A new Martial Arts had suddenly appeared in the secret techniques section he had never seen before.
[Mountain Searching Forest Exploring: First Layer (1%)]
"Where did this come from, when did I learn this?"
A moment later, he thought to himself.
"In the preceding imaginary world, when the tiger controlled me to do those awkward Fierce Tiger Fist movements, was it teaching me this secret technique?"
Thinking of it, he acted, recalling his body and fist path when the tiger controlled the posture.
With a solid memory, he remembered how it was executed.
Practicing twice with sweat all over, meridians twisted, bones felt like sinking into a swamp, the pain akin to Brahma’s Heavenly Prison intensified version.
Another anti-human Martial Art.
Meng Chuan stopped to adjust his breath and introspected for a look.
No improvement in proficiency and didn’t feel any changes within from practicing [Boiling Flame].
"Is this the way to practice? What’s the use?"
Mountain Searching Forest Exploring, just sounds like a Tiger Form lineage’s exclusive secret technique.
Meng Chuan suspected, since it originated from the Tiger Form mark, and the mark got from Shang Ruyi.
He figured, the other side should know the way to cultivate this secret technique.
Before, in a bet with Motohiko, his phone had a student payment credit transaction from Shang Ruyi, with a number.
Meng Chuan thought, directly calling to ask seemed inappropriate...
The two weren’t familiar, asking about someone’s divine skills’ secret technique, strange if Shang Ruyi even entertained him...
Moreover, he was a Xingyi Sect martial artist, asking about an Elephant Form Sect secret technique was awkward.
"Forget it, wait until I can practice Elephant Form Fist to study it later.
Even if I practice this [Mountain Searching Forest Exploring] now, daily practice, my meridians wouldn’t withstand.
Like the [Teaching Crane Soaring Cloud] in my mind, temporarily set it aside."
Meridians relate to the very foundation, a crucial part of the martial path’s starry sky trajectory journey.
If affected by practicing this secret technique and impacts the meridian’s extension to the martial sky starry path, there’d be no end to regrets.
...
Early the next morning, Meng Chuan went to Taoist Qi’s home to practice.
As soon as he entered, he found an unexpected person inside.
Xu Qingfeng was in the other’s home, which surprised him.
