With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 321 Demon Seed Advancement, Ancient Ape God, Confronts Master!
The stamens on the chest are in full bloom, and the state of liberation is slowly unfolding.

150% 160% and even break through 200%!

Finally, the flesh flower mark on his chest fully bloomed, and scorching white mist burst forth from his body, his bones crackling like thunder.

The limit was set at 220%.

The shadows stretched into the distance, and he looked down at the villa beside him, which was slightly shorter than him.

At this moment, Meng Chuan's figure had already broken through the five-meter limit and was approaching six meters.
Feeling the even more violent power within his body than when it was 200% unleashed, Meng Chuan smiled.

The increased toughness brought about by the tempering of the essence of metal can even raise the limit threshold of the liberation state.

The original flexibility of the muscles and bones could not withstand a 220% degree of liberation.

Now, his bones and muscles are as strong as steel, remaining unmoved even under the violent energy radiation.

The elasticity of muscle fibers makes every bit of force exerted effortlessly.

Only then did Meng Chuan realize that this was the greatest value of the [Essence of Metal] to himself—to build a more solid container for the state of liberation.

Xu Qingfeng, who was exercising across the street, happened to open his window and once again made eye contact with Meng Chuan on the second floor.
He looked up and saw that Meng Chuan's face above the neck was still resolute.

Below the neck, however, it had become a terrifying, demonic body.

The iron fan in his hand clattered to the ground, startling him.
"Lao Meng... has grown bigger again?"

……

After testing the current limits of liberation, the swollen body quickly contracted as if deflated.

Ignoring Xu Qingfeng's dazed gaze, Meng Chuan greeted him and returned to the house.

"Gold essence enhances resilience, fire essence enhances strength, water essence inflicts soul damage, and wood essence provides penetrating power."

In this way, only the function of the essence of earth remains undetermined.

It was most likely related to defense. He used his credits to buy a mid-level Earthbound Spirit Core directly from the United University Exchange Mall.

Having points means you can do whatever you want!
Once Lin Yue's true spirit fragments are fully digested, feeding this core will allow us to see if the effect is related to defense.

Meng Chuan's estimate is roughly correct.

Time passed, and a week later.

Since Yan Hua and Feng Yue finished their inquiries that day, no one else came to him to investigate related matters, and Meng Chuan finally felt relieved.

Today's mental cultivation practice is complete. I rise and conclude the practice.

The Dao Heart retreated into the depths of the primordial spirit, accompanied by a soft prompt in the mind:
[Demon Seed in the Dao Heart: First Layer (99%) → Second Layer (1%)]

It has been exactly two months since I began practicing the Demon-Planting Heart Method.

With the supply of the [Aperture Armor Elixir], his improvement speed is unparalleled.

One aperture per month—how terrifying!
Other boxing techniques also provided some scattered Qi and Blood points. Meng Chuan internally examined the Tanzhong point and found that its walls were already filled and swollen with Qi and Blood, which should be around 600 points.

Recalling what Professor Dong had said, he walked toward the office building.

We plan to borrow testing equipment to measure the current state of Qi and blood before taking any action to address the abnormalities, which would be safer.

A set of Qi Jiguang's Long Fist techniques was performed smoothly, and the machine paused for a moment before beeping.

[Dear "Infinite Fist", your health has reached 1912.8. You're getting closer to your second limit, keep it up! Ganbatte!]

"It's switched to a cute girl's voice again. Which martial artist is so bored?"

Meng Chuan guessed that it was most likely Chu Yanhu who did it.

Since entering the country, this kid has been going to the martial arts blood and qi testing room every few days.
Putting those thoughts aside, he was certain that his second acupoint's qi and blood were now fully formed.

When he first broke through to the Martial Arts Master level, his health and mana value was 712.2.

The two orifices together store a total of 1200 points of Qi and Blood, plus the extra 0.6 points accumulated during the initial cultivation of the mental technique, which is just right.

His Taiyi Earth Stance cultivation was much faster than the mental cultivation method for refining qi and blood.

The meridian is now extending towards the fourth major acupoint. Not to mention 0.6, storing another 600 points wouldn't be a problem.

"Wow, Chief Meng, your Qi and blood are almost two thousand in such a short time."

Among the martial arts masters in the Grandmaster Class, only two Second-Limit Martial Arts Masters expressed their admiration.

Meng Chuan heard this and recognized the man's identity. He turned around, cupped his hands, and smiled.

"Brother Chen, you flatter me. You're almost at the third limit, I can't compare to you."

His name is [Crimson Fire Ape Chen Jing], and he is no ordinary being even in the second major limit.

On the Heavenly Spirits Ranking, he was ranked much higher than Lu Shi, the goalkeeper.

Ranked 68th, it surpasses many teachers within the school and is one of the strengths of the Yong'an branch campus.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with him, Meng Chuan turned and left after Chen Jing entered.

"Judging from Brother Chen's aura, he's probably not far from reaching his third major limit—a martial arts master."

Meng Chuan had heard from others that Chen Jing was a martial artist of the Pictographic School.

What I was contemplating was the unique beast king image of the [Ancient Ape God] in the entire series.

It possesses some unknown flame-like quality, and at that time it will break through the martial arts master level and comprehend the "power of Dharma form".

After transforming into a fire ape, even Chief Inspector Long Jiu, who is also in ape form, would probably have to avoid his sharp edge.

This is the strength of a top-tier martial arts genius; once they advance, they become synonymous with invincibility among their peers.

While he secretly admired him, little did he know that Chen Jing was also trying to figure him out.

"This kid, he broke through the first major limit less than three months ago, right?"

He recalled that even though he had just broken through and immediately gained the approval of the Ape God.

Even with the blessing of the ancient ape god visualization diagram, it still took more than four months to fill the two orifices with qi and blood.

Meng Chuan's progress was almost twice as fast as his own back then!
Chen Jing thought about it again and again, but he still couldn't figure it out.

"Isn't it said that the Xingyi school emphasizes comprehension and its progress is the slowest?"

Could he be a genius with exceptional comprehension?
That would be even more terrifying.
Recalling the scene of Meng Chuan seizing the true teachings of Martial Arts, Chen Jing couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

He is fierce in actual combat and has outstanding comprehension.

Such a person will eventually rise to prominence and surpass you; it's probably only a matter of time.

Shaking his head, Chen Jing took a deep breath.

Connecting to the motion-sensing device rekindled his fighting spirit. Recalling his master's teachings, he knew that the path of martial arts was about perseverance.

He said in a deep voice:

"It is not appropriate to underestimate oneself; I, Chen Jing, am also a top genius."

I am determined to become the first martial arts master, and even a martial arts grandmaster, in the Yong'an branch's master class!

At seven o'clock in the afternoon, the streets and alleys of Yong'an City were filled with the aroma of various snacks.

Upon receiving news that his master had returned to the city, Meng Chuan immediately descended the mountain.

On the way, I bought some grilled squid from his favorite restaurant and headed to Huayun Mansion.

Inside the private martial arts room, Luo Guanyun was already waiting.

Meng Chuan poured tea for his master, and only spoke after the master had taken a large gulp:

“Master, I have a way to solve the drawbacks of thunder magic.”

"Pfft."

Luo Guanyun was puzzled as to why his apprentice was calling him in such a hurry.

The explosive action right from the start caused his internal defenses, which were sealing the Thunder Seed, to weaken.

After a brief pause, Luo Guanyun's expression gradually became serious, and he also spoke frankly:

"You practiced?"

He was referring to the "Spiritual Demon Seed: Fear Chapter".

"If you practice it, it's not a demonic art, but a supplementary chapter to thunder magic."

Before his master could speak, Meng Chuan decided to reveal the whole story of the "Demon Seed in the Dao Heart".

Because of the "hidden danger of the mine," the master and apprentice were bound together by fate, sharing both glory and ruin; there was nothing to hide.

In addition, his master's hidden ailment was a thorn in his side, and it was impossible for him to collect the remaining eight chapters in a short period of time by his own efforts.

He said in a deep voice:
"Master, the true name of the Primordial Spirit Thunder Seed Technique is actually [Dao Heart Demon Seed - Fundamental Chapter]."

Luo Guanyun's expression hardened. He was about to reprimand his disciple for his recklessness when he suddenly heard the words "Demonic Seed in the Dao Heart".

"you mean"

Meng Chuan had prepared this on his phone. He opened the article listing the ten great skills of the Great Chu and handed it to Luo Guanyun.

Seeing his master's increasingly shocked expression, he slowly said:
"Master, what was the story of Patriarch Luo Fang at that time?"
It dwells deep within the primordial spirit, and its righteous power facilitates the control of thunder magic. I suspect that's why the patriarch named it "Primordial Spirit Thunder Seed".

As for his true identity, his disciple has already comprehended the four words "cultivating demons in the heart of the Dao".

The Thunder Seed is the Dao Heart, while the Demon Seed specifically refers to the condensation of nine negative emotional forces.

When the two merge together, and the Dao Heart ultimately governs everything, it becomes the complete version of the [Dao Heart Seed Demon] divine skill.

What was recorded on the tortoise shell was not demonic art, but rather the Nine Gates Chapter of Demon Seed Cultivation.

"Transforming into a man-eating demonic seed is merely a means for those who follow the demonic path to use it for evil purposes."

After hearing what Meng Chuan said, it took Luo Guanyun a long time to process and understand.

He recalled the night he broke through to the level of a martial arts grandmaster at a shrine in an island nation.

And when it was first discovered at the police station that the "Thunder Seed" could devour the "Demon Seed".

He had already grasped some of the meaning.

Seeing this, Meng Chuan slowly raised his right arm, and an invisible wave spread out from his arm.

Luo Guanyun stared intently at his arm, where he saw a dark purple aura flowing along the veins.

The true energy sometimes condensed into a fine spider web, covering the entire arm, and sometimes gathered into a ferocious dragon shape, coiling around the elbow and wrist.

Its ferocity was such that Luo Guanyun felt no other true energy could surpass it.

"Master, this is the true qi form after the Dao Heart merges with the [Fear Chapter]. Its main body is slightly lighter in black, but has more purple hues swirling around it."

At the same time, after the two were combined, when I practiced the mental cultivation method, the amount of blood absorbed by the Thunder Seed was significantly reduced.

Based on my speculation, once the remaining eight techniques are gathered and combined into the complete version of the Dao Heart Demon Seed Divine Art, the problem of qi and blood will be resolved, and then…”

After listening to his apprentice's detailed explanation, Luo Guanyun stared at the purple-black aura intertwined on his arm, and a complex emotion welled up in his heart.

"You!"

Luo Guanyun was both moved and gratified, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

As his mentor, Meng Chuan's courage and comprehension were truly admirable.

In silence, Meng Chuan extended his arm to his master, silently circulating his inner energy.

Luo Guanyun trembled as he gathered a wisp of true energy, circulated it around his body, and then fed it back into himself.

When he sensed that the blood-draining power of the Thunder Seed had indeed weakened, a light called hope suddenly burst forth in his eyes.

After years of suffering, a turning point has finally arrived.
He took a deep breath, placed his broad hand heavily on Meng Chuan's shoulder, and spoke in a hoarse but firm voice:
"Good lad, if you're so reckless again, I'll... I'll laugh myself hoarse!"

Luo Guanyun's eyes reddened slightly, then he burst into hearty laughter.

His knuckles turned white from the force, betraying the suppressed tremor.

This is the most severe rebuke from a teacher, and also the deepest protective love for their students.

After his master's emotions returned to normal, Meng Chuan and his master devised the next plan.

He originally wanted to go to the island nation with his master, but Luo Guanyun insisted that he stay in Da Chu to continue practicing martial arts and use his spare time to collect information related to the "Demonic Seed of the Dao Heart".

"My trip to the island nation was just a preliminary covert investigation, to try to find out all the holders of the [Spiritual Platform Demon Seed]."

If the investigation is difficult, then there's no rush. We've waited for decades, so what's a little more time?

According to what you said, there are a total of eight chapters left. It is possible that one of them is still in obscurity. This would require you to use the platforms of the United Nations University and the Vast Ocean to investigate.

Furthermore, this matter must be kept secret, as it involves complete divine skills and secret techniques, and it is inevitable that some people will have ulterior motives.

"Since your master is far away in the island nation and cannot protect you, you must be more cautious yourself."

"clear."

Meng Chuan nodded, agreeing with his master's point.

In his earliest attempt, he thought of using the body to control the Dao mind, taking a balancing approach.
