Chapter 159: 0137 Divine Communication Skill (2.8k)

Lu Chenzhou spoke with a calm that carried a chilling coldness,

"I’ve heard this name before."

Lu Chenzhou recounted the events of that night to Chen Zhen.

Chen Zhen sighed and said,

"Who would have thought, a plastic surgeon, a social elite often in the public eye, would actually be a member of a cult. He was able to obtain your information and hide among the common folk for so many years because he was protected by our Armed Police instructor, Zhang Fei. The two were in cahoots, causing trouble in secret."

To this, Lu Chenzhou was unable to offer any comment.

In this mortal world, there are the three poisons: greed, anger, and delusion.

The nature of humanity, good and evil, has always been so.

Lu Chenzhou asked,

"Has Zhang Fei been captured?"

Chen Zhen shook his head,

"Not yet, he vanished into thin air on the night of your field training and likely fled abroad in advance. He might have learned of Chen Yongjing’s assassination attempt failure and feared his own exposure, so he was possibly sent away by members of the cult."

Escaping abroad with the means of a Martial Artist, to lands infested with demons and evil spirits.

Capturing him would indeed be difficult.

Chen Zhen said,

"If it weren’t for Chen Yongjing exposing some clues in his two attempts to assassinate you, we wouldn’t have discovered him. You should still be careful. In this era, a genius is like a thorn in the eye of cults; Chen Yuan was also targeted for assassination this year."

"Which faction was it?"

"It’s not clear yet; Dragon and Tiger Academy is investigating it."

"Has Chen Yongjing been captured?"

"He used an evil skill that allowed him to teleport, and it’s unknown where he has gone. Currently, Su City’s police are conducting a citywide search. However, his strength has been compromised, and he likely won’t dare to make a move in Su City in the short term... Da Xia has been studying ways to counter the cults, but since they are rooted in the Void Realm, our understanding of that place is very limited. We can only grope for experience bit by bit. The struggle against the cults will inevitably be a protracted war."

Hearing this, Lu Chenzhou was slightly relieved.

Under the harsh crackdown, the cult should remain quiet for a while.

Making a move at this time would easily lead to capture.

What he could do was to rapidly enhance his strength.

"Thank you, Officer Chen, for your hard work. Please also stay safe."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Chenzhou opened the official website of the Beautiful Life Company.

He found the face of the man with gold-rimmed glasses, scholarly and handsome.

"Chen Yongjing!"

He etched this name in his heart.

This person had attempted to assassinate him twice; in the future, he would surely "return the favor."

...

The mighty Yangtze River flows ceaselessly eastward.

Outside the ancient city of Jinling, in a river segment where the waters surge and the muddy riverbed is filled with silt, lies an ancient, rotting coffin, half-buried in sand and mud.

The lid of the coffin is half-open, and through the gaps, a faint red glow flickers intermittently. Occasionally, small fish enter, but they never emerge again.

The interior of the coffin is gloomy and profound, without the light of day.

On its bottom, there is a mural depicting seven graceful fairy-like figures swirling around a magnificent woman with a solemn and divine presence, backed by a vast divine radiance.

This atmosphere is as if from a fairyland.

Right now, a figure missing both arms is in deep slumber in the center of the mural.

His face is serene; it is Chen Yongjing.

Suddenly, he opens his eyes.

"Lufang! You destroyed my Divine Body; I will never rest until you are dead!"

If the severed arms were beside him, he might still try to reattach them using a certain Divine Art. But now, there’s no hope... As far as he knows, recreating arms requires the Fourth Grade Divine Skill "White Lotus Bone Formation," a method that only a protector can master.

Divine Skills are incredibly potent, and the requirements for obtaining and executing them are exceedingly stringent.

First, one needs Divine Wisdom, the root of Divine Communication.

Without Divine Wisdom, there is no qualification to communicate with the divine. The stronger the Divine Wisdom, the better the divinity, able to bear more Divine Power and complete a higher level of transformation and metamorphosis.

Such individuals are the most favored by the divine.

Only with Divine Wisdom can one become a core believer.

To advance to Incense Master Level, one must further please the deities, practice the Communication with God Skill, that is, the way to communicate with deities and obtain Divine Powers.

The Communication with God Skill of the Heart Happiness Sect is known as the "Forget Sorrow Heart Scripture."

The stronger the Divine Wisdom and the more devout the heart, the quicker one can practice the Communication with God Skill. To execute Divine Skills above the Incense Master Level, the Communication with God Skill is fundamental. It is the way gods select Divine Sons or Divine Daughters. Only the most outstanding can become a Divine Son (or Daughter).

From then on, they represent divine authority, becoming gods in the human world.

This is the ultimate pursuit of every believer.

In short, all the abilities of a believer are inseparable from pleasing the deities. Chen Yongjing wasted two Blood Bodhisattva seeds to obtain a Third Class Divine Seed.

"Damn it! I can’t return to Su City for now. Without arms, my Divine Body is flawed, and I can’t perform many Divine Arts. My strength is greatly reduced now."

Chen Yongjing recites a spell, and a heart emerges from his right chest.

This is the Third Grade Divine Gift, the "Heart Aperture Ghost," crafted from the second heart I obtained through my own sublimation. It serves as the nurturing ground for the "Blood Bodhisattva" and also acts as the sect’s communication device. In order to break free from Lufang, I had forcefully used all the energy contained within it to cast a powerful divine art, which caused me no small amount of backlash. Now, it’s not just Lufang, even a common Martial Arts Master would not be my match.

An indignant voice echoed from the heart:

"Chen Yongjing, why did you expose yourself?!"

The speaker was a Squad Leader at the North American headquarters of the Heart Happiness Sect, responsible for liaising with Squad Leaders hidden within Da Xia and who was also the person who led Chen Yongjing into the sect initially.

"I don’t know."

"You acted on your own?"

"I did it for the divine sect."

"Now, with Su City left headless, the missionary work has come to a halt, do you understand your crime?"

"I understand my crime and suggest that Hall Master Ye temporarily take charge."

"It’s too late, Headquarters plans to temporarily withdraw from Su City."

"Move to where?"

"That’s not your concern for now, just stand by."

"Alright, I have one more thing to report."

"Speak."

"The martial police instructor from Stone Lake Branch, Zhang Fei, should be arriving at Silver Eagle soon. He is a Martial Arts practitioner who has sworn a divine oath and can be put to good use... In addition, the ranking of Lufang from Su City Dragon Martial needs to be raised. Even my full-blooded Bodhisattva, attacking by surprise, failed to kill him. I recommend raising his rank to the same level as Wang Hongdao."

"Lufang... noted."

Once the communication finished, Chen Yongjing lay down in the coffin, closing his eyes to fall into a deep sleep.

"Su City, I shall return as a Squad Leader."

He intended to temporarily seal his divine power with a divine art and enter hibernation, which could last from as short as half a year to as long as three to five years or even a decade, until the Divine Artifact self-healed.

In his current weakened state, not to mention a skilled opponent like Lufang, even a random Martial Arts Master could subdue him. He could not afford to go out and recklessly expose himself.

Upon waking, he would devise a plan for revenge.

...

The days flew by, and it was July 30th.

In the Fangshan Region, the Class Three Martial Arts success meeting at Dragon City High School proceeded as scheduled, with Lufang busy with cultivation and not attending the scene to watch. However, he knew that Liu Huan, with his Seventh Rank peak Qi-Blood and General Armor Removal Force, had defeated all opponents to claim first place.

Liu Huan had obtained a Class A evaluation in last year’s winter exam. Sadly, he was rated Class B in the recent summer exam. His teacher said he would have a chance at Class A if he was Eighth Rank.

In the end, Liu Huan was unable to skip grades for enrollment without exams, which somewhat disappointed Lufang. He had thought Liu Huan would soon join him in the genius class.

The next morning.

As the sun rose in the east, warming hearts.

Lufang inhaled the qi of Stone Lake Water and concluded his Heavenly Pile Cultivation, feeling a vigorous heat flow surging from the ankle of his right hand, accumulating within some hidden recess.

Harnessing the energy of the morning sun to nurture the Yang Pool, which could subdue Yin evil.

"The 17th aperture has opened."

He took a shower and then measured his Qi-Blood.

[Qi-Blood Value 4.76...]

"It has increased a bit more, not far from 5 now."

5.16 is the Qi-Blood standard for Ninth Rank.

He looked towards the Martial Arts Tree.

[Tiger Spirit Divine Fist: Mastery (74%)]

First-rate martial arts, typically at the Small Success or Great Success realm before comprehending Hua Realm.

This varies depending on an individual’s comprehension.

The teachers have said that while the Hua Realms of different martial arts vary, if they come from the same style, the differences wouldn’t be significant.

For Tiger Form Fist, for instance, the Hua Realm types commonly comprehended are mainly General Armor Removal Force, Mountain Separating Bull Striking Force, and Earth Dragon Flipping Strength.

The Hua Realms for strong and vigorous Fist Techniques like Dragon Form, Bear Form, Leopard Form, and Lion Form are similar. For Ape Form, Snake Form, and Bird Form, there are generally Levitating Willow Force, Drunk Elder Never Fall Strength, Weak Water Hundred Transforming Force, and Heavenly Spider Entangling Silk Strength.

Of course, there’s no absolute in Hua Realms comprehension. Lufang’s comprehension of Yin Yang Umbrella Spin from Elephant Form Fist, and the Heavenly Spider Entangling Silk Strength mastered by his senior sister, are actually more common among Tai Chi practitioners. The concept of Hua Realm is also the core philosophy of Tai Chi; each style has its domain where it excels.

Baji Fist is renowned for its vigorous Ming Force.

Elephant Form Fist is versatile in Dark Force.

Tai Chi Boxing is the pinnacle of Hua Realm mastery.

The present Martial Arts System is the result of the Martial Arts Association’s extensive research through history, drawing on a wide array of influences, and integrating several thousand years of Da Xia’s Martial Arts culture.

...

The morning’s Grandmaster public lecture.

Today’s lecture was by Dragon King Jing Longwang·Wu Sheng.

"Today we’ll mainly discuss how to ’Learn Its Momentum.’ What is momentum? It’s the natural energy that arises from the combination of the human spirit and body... the same principle applies to other life forms. To learn from the tiger’s momentum is to understand its energy, to unite the energy of both human and tiger!"

The Grandmaster continued without pause.

After listening, Lufang was enlightened.

He felt that his Fist Theory should be settled at this level now.

It was not blind confidence; his recent bouts and combats had proved that he could completely merge the tiger’s momentum with himself – the Human and Tiger Fusion!
