Chapter 444 - 409: Free Divine Weapon, Invincible Bodhisattva, and Martial Shrine Reform!
Meng Chuan clicked in:[May 1st Taihang Mountain, "Supporting Light Great Saint Zhou Yun" sermon, if there is any change, further notification will be given.]
Lu Ang explained:
"In recent years, sermon activities have been held at Taihang Mountain.
The [Mountain Whisper] events are becoming more frequent, and Great Saints must take turns guarding, meanwhile giving sermons to you young ones.
Last year, it was the previous principal of the Southern United University, Xun Sheng, stationed there, and this year it is Zhou Sheng."
Lu Ang also talked to Meng Chuan about some related matters to pay attention to.
Apart from the monthly welfare special war merits and the Great Saint’s yearly sermon.
Other than these two, there are no other benefits; to obtain more precious martial arts resources, you have to rely on completing tasks to acquire them.
The previous thoughts of a millennium snow lotus, a truckload of celestial tears gold were certainly not to be hoped for...
But Meng Chuan was content.
He calculated in detail, just by receiving special war merit subsidies monthly.
For example, take the Dawn Divine Sword valued at ten thousand points.
You only need to accumulate for more than forty years to completely get it for free.
This is a sixth-grade divine weapon that even adds significant benefits to Celestial King level martial arts experts.
With his current lifespan, he estimates that getting a small ten of them for free is not a big problem...
...
Discussing till they were thirsty, seeing the tea had run out.
Meng Chuan, perceptively, ordered the best pot again.
"Xiaomeng is being extravagant today."
Lu Ang joked with him.
This store is indeed high-class, the tea Meng Chuan ordered is called [Saint Craftsman].
It is a type of "Enlightenment Tea" exclusively for martial arts families to savor.
A small can costs 178,000, just enough to brew one pot.
If Lu Zhenshou wasn’t present, with Meng Chuan’s status, he wouldn’t dare to be so extravagant.
Finally, the two tasted tea.
Lu Ang guided Meng Chuan to check on the phone, alongside the talent pool marker, the state task system.
Upon clicking, the system page on the phone resembled the layout of the Martial Arts Association’s reward hall electronic screen.
Viewing in landscape mode, the top left has the big characters [Human Realm], and the right shows [Demon Nest].
Lu Ang seriously said:
"These are the two major sections of state tasks, the former task locations are in the human realm, and during task execution, opponents are obviously from the Demon Path.
The task targets, and the process, mostly concern [Gods, Immortals, Buddhas], handling human realm demon contamination events.
As for the Demon Nest task list, they are all tasks related to [Shrines].
For specifics, you should click to take a look."
Meng Chuan glanced over and simultaneously thought of the Great Brahma affected by demon contamination.
He understood Lu Ang’s meaning.
Meng Chuan pondered:
"There are returns with effort, special war merits are so precious, and task difficulty is indeed not low..."
Casually clicking a task, scanning a few eyes, his pupils abruptly shrank.
"Handling a suspected [Invincible Bodhisattva] demon contamination event..."
The bottom shows a suggestion for [fourth major limit and above groups to proceed].
Invincible Bodhisattva, also called Invincible Revered One.
One of the five hundred Arhats in the Buddhist faith, a great Arhat in Pure Land country, benefiting sentient beings with delight.
Few know this one who attained the Great Bodhisattva Fruit Position.
Meng Chuan coincidentally saw this during his recent study of Buddhist sect knowledge and understood it.
The fact that this task appeared here already indicates He has been invaded by the Celestial Demon, the incense fire stolen.
Lu Ang, sipping tea, pointed out:
"These tasks have timeliness. If no one takes, the state will arrange personnel to execute.
For example, isn’t your school’s Principal Yang Huan often out?
While acquiring resources from the Demon Nest, also executing these shrine-related tasks.
Young strong persons like him will grow faster."
Meng Chuan nodded, no wonder Yang was often not in school, turns out he really is a "special envoy"...
What does it matter, he is one now too...
"Scrolling to the bottom, just look at those tasks marked with a star at the front. These are controlled and unable to continue spreading, relatively simple tasks.
Specially reserved for you young ones who are in the talent pool to use for training. Of course, if not taken within a week, it will also be open to the Grandmaster and above personnel.
Non-talent pool martial arts families, upon breaking through the Fourth Limit Grandmaster, and understanding shrine-related matters.
They can also accept state tasks in the system, just without the monthly special war merit subsidy or Great Saint sermon welfare.
Special war merits are precious, and Great Saints don’t have the time to give lessons to so many people, thus prioritizing you young ones with talent and potential."
Meng Chuan heard this and was deeply grateful.
Once again, he expressed a series of thanks to the country.
Lu Ang waved his hand, finally stood up and said:
"Alright, you research the rest yourself. These tasks should be handled according to strength, those involving demon contamination and shrine matters aren’t simple.
But remember to scroll to the bottom, there’s a task regarding Fucheng that’s quite suitable for you to do.
Seeing you after Breaking Two, your body has fully recovered, and you have grasped martial arts momentum, you can try it if you want resources."
"Understood, thank you Lu Zhenshou, sorry to have wasted much of your time."
After Lu Ang left, Meng Chuan finished the bill and left the club.
Utilizing True Qi to "leap" back to Lishan Mountain, he pondered:
"Fucheng? I remember wasn’t there also a task in school, the location precisely Fucheng..."
...
[Collaborate with the Eight Immortal Nunnery Martial Shrine renovation, handle the source of the hidden "Lv Zu Statue" in the Magic Martial Hall.]
There is also task-related intelligence below, all listed clearly for easy understanding.
Meng Chuan murmured to himself:
"The hall master Pei Shan, true identity is the High Priest of Demon Summoning Hall’s Fucheng base, a person who has ascended five times over the years, with strength comparable to a seasoned Two Limit expert..."
Whether to accept or not, he fell into contemplation.
The original plan was to set off today, but accepting the task might delay things.
The core traits of Hard Skills have been suppressed for too long, and he possesses two True Skill level Buddhist Sect physical cultivation methods.
Related martial theories urgently needed enhancement through Shaolin insight.
But the task’s reward is two hundred special combat merits, Meng Chuan reviewed it, although it falls far short of redeeming a Fifth Grade thousand-year snow lotus.
Still, the price of a Third Grade hundred-year snow lotus is just right for these merits.
In the outer world, such treasures with purifying and restorative powers are extremely rare.
Because while a Martial Arts Family member is undergoing Realm Breakthrough, facing the "Heart Demon Barrier," consuming this item can provide substantial aid.
This is an extremely precious top-tier resource capable of improving the breakthrough probability for Martial Arts Family members.
Meng Chuan pondered:
"First-time consumption of a hundred-year-grade snow lotus would also have an effect on the resentment within Master’s body.
Though the effect is not as good as that of the thousand-year grade."
With this thought, he no longer hesitated and accepted.
Master’s grace to him is as heavy as a mountain.
If there’s an opportunity to repay, other things must take a back seat.
Even if it doesn’t cure the root, as long as it alleviates, it can ease some of the burdens on Master’s Primordial Spirit. Check latest chapters at novelhall.com
Master works tirelessly outside for the Tao Heart seed Demon matter, having no time for such national tasks or eliminating Great Demons to gain special combat merits.
Since there’s a suitable task for him, he must help relieve Master’s concerns.
Meng Chuan logged onto the Martial Arts Association website again and found he was still a wanted criminal, with a bounty of sixty million elsewhere.
"And taking this task is like killing two birds with one stone... no, three birds."
He recalled the transferred investigation task sent by Fucheng police, the cause of the Flying Star Martial Hall master’s disappearance.
No need for investigation?
It was Pei Shan’s doing...
Demon Summoning Hall borrowing the Martial Hall, secretly positioning bases, removing the biggest competition is logical.
This kind of investigative task, with no limit on acceptance time or number of people, Meng Chuan took it directly.
Having already known the inside story, it was like getting free credits.
Also counted as an entry benefit from the national talent pool...
...
After accepting the task, more information appeared on the system.
At a glance, Meng Chuan was amused.
He had two teammates, who were also acquaintances.
[Yellow Dragon Sword·Zheng Chengcheng], [Inverted Sword·Chen Xuan].
"I didn’t expect this kid Zheng Chengcheng to be entered into the talent pool, demonstrating the depth of a Celestial King descendant..."
Zheng Chengcheng was the toughest opponent he encountered as a Martial Artist.
From the perspective of potential and strength, the other party is quite deserving.
The two’s titles were similar, both related to swords, it seemed this time he’d be executing the task with "two swords"...
Coming to his senses, Meng Chuan continued to view the task details.
The national task system clearly recorded all intelligence related to this task.
No need to investigate intelligence nor exercise the mind.
After all, what the nation needed was the enhancement in their combat power.
Investigative personnel and brain trusts, Great Chu’s Sherlock Holmes had other candidates...
Meng Chuan checked Pei Shan’s data, pondering:
"Once releasing, my strength can overpower the opponent, especially with two swords assisting, ensuring the task is foolproof."
The only uncertainty was the intelligence noting Pei Shan possibly having Demon Summoning Hall higher-ups backing him.
Since helping Pei Shan establish Fucheng’s structure, they hadn’t appeared again.
The task system stated this individual might be [Blood-Drinking Demon Sword·Li Xiao].
"I will likely not encounter this person during the task, if Li Xiao, equivalent to Grandmaster-strength, is confirmed to be in Fucheng, this task wouldn’t fall to us Three Limits..."
Moreover, Lu Ang previously mentioned, these tasks marked with an asterisk are controlled ones, unable to continue worsening, more straightforward tasks.
Mainly for their training, it’s expected no top-tier Demon Path experts would appear during the task.
Of course, most importantly, Meng Chuan himself had confidence, equipped with the shadow stone given by Principal Yang.
He speculated Chen Xuan and Zheng Chengcheng likely had similar backups.
Even if Li Xiao indeed showed up, let him taste the dimension-reducing strike from esteemed ones or even Celestial Kings...
Lastly glancing at the task time, Meng Chuan began cultivating the core method.
Striving to accumulate more Qi Blood before the task initiation.
"Seven days left, try to elevate a bit more..."
The intelligence described in detail, Meng Chuan felt Pei Shan’s strength surpasses the five ascended individuals encountered in previous police department tasks.
Able to handle things single-handedly, managing a city, his strength definitely exceeds by more than one level.
This task will be executed within the urban area, it’d be best to conclude decisively, avoiding excessive disturbance harming innocents.
Although while eliminating demonic threats, impacting ordinary people is unavoidable.
Meng Chuan still hoped not to involve ordinary people whenever possible.
It wasn’t a case of a saintly mind, rather the inherent kindness and compassion one should possess.
As the Buddhist saying goes, demonstrating wisdom in action:
"Use thunderous means, hold a compassionate heart."
