With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 283 Your crane is so plump, it's mine now!

The next moment, he recalled the icy aura he had felt when he fought Luo Qin.

By imbuing one's will into the fist movements, one can calm the mind and gradually sink into the rhythm of the water-based true energy.

Time passed slowly, and in a daze...

The temperature around us dropped sharply, and the scene before us was completely transformed.

The vast, frigid world reappears.

The icebergs are majestic, shrouded in cold mist.

That solitary crane stood atop the icy peak, its wings fluttering gently as it scattered specks of frost.

Meng Chuan's will resonated with the extreme cold world, and his Water Flow Fist technique became even more refined in the icy atmosphere.

Each movement seemed to align with the trajectory of a crane, and the flow of true energy subtly carried an icy chill.

As his body temperature dropped, he continued to focus on practicing his boxing in place, without moving an inch towards the crane.

Although my physical condition is far better than before, it's still not enough in this world.

The fact that your body wasn't instantly frozen and shattered shows great improvement; you should just stop and practice your boxing properly.

This extremely cold world is the perfect place to hone one's water skills.

As his fist strikes deepened, his water-based true energy condensed into ice crystals that swirled around his body, and the extreme cold power continued to rise.

The crane seemed to sense something and suddenly turned its head.

In his icy blue pupils, the frost-like glaze flowing across Meng Chuan's fist was reflected.

In an instant, the ice peak trembled, and the cry of a crane pierced the clouds.

The falling snow seemed to be drawn towards him, gradually forming a mark on his heart.

Meng Chuan had an epiphany; it seemed the crane had bestowed upon him a form of figurative boxing.

A quick glance revealed it to be the ultimate technique held by Luo Qin.

[The crane soars into the clouds, bestowing the Dharma].

At that moment, Meng Chuan finally understood.

What exactly is this world of imagery in the Pictographic school, and what is its academic name?

[Beast King Image]!
This vast expanse of land is a symbolic representation of the Beast King's imagery.

As he was being carried away by the crane, Meng Chuan murmured to himself:

"This technique is powerful, but I can't practice it."

He was a pure-blood Xingyi martial artist, and even when he began practicing the Earth Stance, his meridian pathways were completely different from those of the Xiangxing School's [Dragon and Tiger Stance].

"Well, something is better than nothing."

Meng Chuan wasn't in a hurry. Anyway, the method was already imprinted in his mind, and he could learn it whenever he wanted.

“My skin and flesh have changed now. If I can change my meridians in the future by relying on my special qualities, I might really have a day when I can learn the imitation boxing.”

Coming to his senses, he felt the Five Elements True Qi flowing within his body.

The power of icy cold has been significantly enhanced.

As the five elements circulate, the true energy remains as vibrant as a rainbow.

But the will focused on the water element, unleashing a chilling force as cold as frost, the impact of the fist piercing to the bone.

Its overall power increased by nearly 20%, and its true energy became even more formidable.

This profound resonance with the extreme cold world has elevated his strength to a new level.

After confirming that the imprint in his mind was still there, Meng Chuan was secretly delighted.

"Little Crane, I'll come find you to play another day."

In a way, Meng Chuan had a sudden realization.

There's no need to go to Luo Qin to "learn from him" anymore, thanks to the mark the crane left on his head.

By resonating with the power of will, one can directly return to that world.

However, there seems to be a term similar to "cooling down" among them.

Meng Chuan tried several more times, but failed to return to the extremely cold world.

"Let's leave it for now. We'll try it when we've finished mastering the Third Rank Fire Fist and are practicing the Water Fist."

Now, thanks to the "Crane's Teachings," Meng Chuan's mastery of water-based boxing techniques has surpassed the other three elements besides fire.

He wasn't in a hurry, because he had already grasped the key to it.

That is related to [God].

In other words, willpower is the key to entering the world of imagery.

The depletion of mental energy is more like the action of pushing open the door and entering the house.

Therefore, the mark that the crane pressed on his forehead is the keyhole to the world of imagery.

With the combination of willpower, mental strength, and imprint, the glacial world became his backyard.

As long as you have the key, you can come and go anytime, anywhere.

Meng Chuan then thought of the long-unseen battle against the Japanese pirates on the riverbank.

This is a first-class ancient martial art, the imagery of Qi Jiguang's Long Fist.

Now that we have the key, how do we find the keyhole?

The keyhole for the "Heavenly Crane Soaring to the Clouds" was given to it by the crane itself.

This leads to the conclusion that the large red python robe standing next to the Huo flag is the source of the keyhole to that symbolic world.

"Perhaps I was too incompetent before. If I go in again now and catch the general's eye, maybe I'll succeed."

Based on the analysis of the previous two entries.

Meng Chuan pondered for a moment, but still couldn't figure out how he had "accidentally gotten in".

The lack of a discernible pattern presented him with a challenge.

Aside from sparring with a martial artist who had mastered Qi Jiguang's Long Fist and imprinting it in his mind using the method of observing patterns, he couldn't think of any other way.

"Forget it. My focus in martial arts training can't be shifted right now, and I don't have much time for martial arts research. I'll do it when I have more time later."

Coming to his senses, Meng Chuan sat cross-legged on the ground and continued practicing his mental cultivation method.

Feeling my Qi and blood gradually grow stronger, I am immersed in the joy of becoming stronger.
Meanwhile, at the UN General Assembly's reception hotel.

Don't be discouraged by a loss; you'll win it back next time.

When Master Ziyang saw that his disciple had been fine when he returned, he suddenly looked dejected.

For some reason, she gently comforted him.

Locsin nodded with a wry smile; losing wasn't the key issue.

Instead, he discovered that his connection with the Beast King painting, "Crane Immortal Soaring Through the Clouds," had inexplicably weakened somewhat.
After a pictographic martial artist advances to the level of a martial arts master, their connection with the Beast King Diagram will become increasingly close.

They visualize the mythical creatures in the Beast King imagery, such as cranes, tiger gods, and Vajras, resonating their own will with the true essence of the beast forms, thereby borrowing the power of the Beast King in actual combat.

Furthermore, the corresponding beast-shaped phantom can be manifested.

These phantom images not only enhance the power of martial arts but also assist in controlling true qi.

Like the illusory image of the ice crane that Lochin is currently condensing.

Once you obtain the method, you will be able to control the powerful, icy true energy blessed by the crane.

As his cultivation deepened, he advanced to the third level of martial arts master.

Pictographists can even briefly transform into symbolic creatures and gain their innate abilities.

Now he's in a better position; he hasn't even condensed the Crane Shadow yet, he's regressing.
After Luoqin shared his doubts with his master, even the True Lord Ziyang was baffled.
"Perhaps Crane Fairy isn't too happy that you lost."

"Once you've recovered and returned to the mountain, sit before the Beast King Diagram and contemplate it for a while."

"it is good."

Luo Qin nodded; at worst, he could just refine it again.

As long as the Beast King Diagram exists, with his own comprehension, nothing will be a problem.

Once the Ice Crane phantom solidifies, we'll come back to get our revenge!
Although he is handsome, he has a stubborn and unyielding personality.

Fight again and again after repeated failures!

Seeing that his disciple had calmed down, True Lord Ziyang waved his sleeve.

A bluish light emanated from his palm, which he pressed against Luo Qin's brow to stabilize his injured mind.

“Lochin, now you need to step up your efforts as well.”

Locsin nodded in agreement.

He also noticed that Meng Chuan's mental strength seemed to have improved significantly.

His icy, frozen spirit seemed to have no effect on the other party whatsoever.

Instead, he was injured mentally and physically by the blade of the opponent's fist.

As his mind gradually calmed down, Lochin murmured to himself:
"After returning to the mountain, I need to undergo rigorous training in the Cold Jade Cave."

Hanyu Cave is a secret cultivation ground for the true cultivators of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

The cave contains ancient, cold jade that can help martial artists calm their minds and temper their will.

Combined with the secret visualization techniques of the Celestial Master's Mansion, one can hone their divine cultivation.

This combination of rare and precious materials with ancient cultivation methods also exists within Wudang.

This is also the essence that distinguishes these traditional Taoist sects, passed down from ancient times, from the Four Directions Alliance.

Come back to your senses.

Seeing that his disciple's expression had improved, Ziyang Zhenjun took out an ancient bronze coin to divine the future.

As soon as the energy was poured into the copper coin, it began to vibrate violently.

"An ominous sign."

The old Taoist priest made a hand seal, trying to glimpse the secrets of heaven. Before his fingertips even touched the hexagram, the copper coin suddenly cracked into dust with a "crack".

"It couldn't even withstand the infusion of vital energy."

Ziyang Zhenjun stared at the copper ash in his palm, his brows furrowed.

I thought that after Luo Qin and Meng Chuan finished fighting, and the disciple's "Blood Sees Heaven's Secret" divination came true, everything should be fine.

Unexpectedly, the ominous signs only intensified.

"Let's go, let's return to the mountain immediately."

Ziyang Zhenjun turned his head and gave instructions to Luo Qin.

We can't wait for the apprentice to recover.

Such is his character; a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall.

He then immediately contacted Chen Qiushui, explained the situation, and prepared to return home.

Having done this, True Lord Ziyang felt he had fulfilled his duty of benevolence and righteousness.

The secrets of heaven should not be revealed, but considering the ominous nature of the divination,

What if it involves the reappearance of the Demon Nest?
"This humble Taoist priest still cares deeply for the common people."

In mid-air, True Lord Ziyang emerged from a cloud, and with his hands behind his back, he and his disciple drifted away.

Three days later, at dawn, outside the Chencang Demon Nest.

【Lone Peak Illuminates the Night - Huo Ting】Holding a massive dragon spear, he leads his soldiers to guard the entrance to the demon's lair.

Two days ago, I received news from the United Nations regarding the "Bloody Divination" of the True Lord Ziyang.

In the spirit of taking precautions, although the Chencang Demon Nest had been completely wiped out, the military still reinforced the barrier at the entrance of the Demon Nest, and the Venerable of the Huo family of Chencang was assigned to guard it.

After receiving the news, Huo Ting entered the Demon Nest several times but found nothing unusual.

"All soldiers, after tonight's vigil, come with me back to the Huo family for a feast."

This demon's lair had long been razed to the ground by him and several other martial arts masters in Yong'an City.

With the Demon Lord inside also killed, what kind of trouble can he possibly cause?
The divination by Ziyang Zhenjun, without first discussing the other party, did not directly point to any anomalies in Chencang Demon Nest.

The other party only mentioned that there was something unusual in the north.

The northern lands are vast, and Chencang is but a drop in the ocean.

He was simply fulfilling his duty as the guardian of Chencang.

They didn't really take it seriously.

squeak--

Spring is gradually fading away, and the cicadas' chirping in the early summer is becoming increasingly loud in the dead of night.

Huo Ting's aura condensed into strands of hair, piercing through these little guys one by one.

"It's a bit noisy."

He was practicing standing meditation when he couldn't stand the cicadas' incessant chirping, so he reached out and told them to shut up.

The moment his imposing aura subsided, Huo Ting's expression changed slightly.

He concentrated his spiritual power to the extreme, instantly covering an area of ​​a hundred miles.

The next moment, a roar resounded through the sky!
"Form ranks, quickly!!!"

Upon hearing Huo Ting's voice, in the instant everyone reacted...

The barrier at the entrance to the Demon Nest was instantly shattered by countless tentacles!
Inside the demon's lair.

The vast land seemed to have been turned upside down, its roots twisting and tearing at the earth's veins.

With the breach of the seal at the entrance to the Demon Nest, the withered wooden golems, the thorny swarms, and the greenwood succubi appeared.

Tens of thousands of celestial demons surged out of the ground like a tidal wave.
