Chapter 411: 0267 Famous Across the World, Ascending Wudang Alone (4k)_2

He was acutely aware, perhaps due to the effects of the "Washing and Peeling," that his Heavenly Pile, Inner Strength, and the cultivation of his Cross Training Martial Arts had improved slightly.

It seemed that the enhancement of root bone promoted one’s talents in all aspects, but relatively speaking, Heavenly Pile placed more importance on hard work, while Hard Qi Gong placed more emphasis on Cross Training Talent.

After completion, the "Pure Yang Unlimited Shield," a Middle Level Cross Training cultivation method, became significantly harder and the progress was slower than before, but still acceptable. This made Lu Chenzhou increasingly believe that the enlightenment he experienced at Lu Mountain had subtly improved his comprehension of Taoist Martial Arts.

Seeking victory through the exploration of antiquities benefited him in many ways.

During this time, the haze that once shrouded the Fourth Realm of his Fist Theory was now thinner, and daily observation of the Grandmasters of Taoist Martial Arts had yielded significant insights.

To be honest, he very much appreciated the tranquil environment for Taoist cultivation.

However, he knew it was time to hit the road once again.

Firstly, he was an outsider and it was not convenient to stay for too long.

Secondly, he wished to comprehend more Dao Yun and understand the Fifth Realm sooner.

As he was preparing to leave, Chen Yuan came to see him off.

Lu Chenzhou bowed with his hands clasped in gratitude.

"This period of disturbance is much appreciated, Mr. Chen. When will you return to Su City?"

Chen Yuan, his gaze firm, pondered for a moment before replying,

"I will return home on the day I become a Grandmaster."

Lu Chenzhou patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder and turned around, saying,

"I look forward to seeing you in Su City after you become a Grandmaster!"

His figure then vanished into the morning mist.

Soon after,

Zhang Lingmiao returned to the mountain to recuperate and heard about Lu Chenzhou’s Reverse Attack Break Two.

His eyes shimmering with purple Qi, he muttered to himself,

"Dragon City’s branch has nurtured a real dragon indeed."

...

In a certain police station in the West River,

Lu Chenzhou listened to the findings of the police investigation.

"The deceased was named Bai Jingming, without any title, but in the underworld, he was known as Blood Vulture, practicing the ’Heavenly Demon Blood Slaughter Skill’ and habitually using Demon Blood to concoct Great Medicine for cultivation, which led to abnormalities in his body and caused a degree of demonic transformation.

The other two deceased turned to ash and their identities remain unknown, but it is certain that both were high-ranking members of the Divine Child Sect, one even a Hall Master.

Mr. Lu, you must be cautious in your next actions, as you are now a primary target for the Three Harms. They may even deploy a Third Shackles Breaker to deal with you."

After listening, Lu Chenzhou scoffed internally,

"To kill me, they sacrificed two Second Shackles Breakers. They really spare no expense."

No other Martial Arts Genius had received such attention.

When he left the police station, his bank account had an additional 30 million cash.

million for Bai Jingming and 20 million for members of the Divine Child Sect.

The police investigation noted that the Cult Hall Master was not killed by Lu Chenzhou personally but by a treasure bestowed by his sect. Nevertheless, the due bounty was still awarded.

Eliminating the menace for the citizens was all that mattered.

Lu Chenzhou’s savings soared to over 80 million.

In addition, he still had some gold bars that he had yet to exchange.

Before setting off on his journey, he purchased a large supply of Enlightenment Elixirs for the next half year.

Having spent all his Great Merit, this cash windfall was truly like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

The Divine Chariot rose into the sky, flying towards the next destination.

...

Wudang Mountain,

formerly known as "Taihe Mountain" and "Taiyue Mountain."

The mountain is not notable for its height but for its association with immortals; as the birthplace of the Zhenwu Daoist School and the spot where Tai Chi’s founder Zhang Zu attained enlightenment, Wudang Mountain rivals Dragon and Tiger among the sacred places of Daoist Da Xia.

The number of strong individuals born from its Martial Arts Academy is unmatched throughout the world.

The First Absolute Peak Grandmaster, Wanshixian, was a disciple of Wudang.

As for the founder of Zhenwu Palace, Xuanwu Taoist, there’s no need to even mention.

With fourteen Absolute Peak Grandmasters, owning two of them, its distinction is evident.

Thus, the second stop for Lu Chenzhou was Wudang.

The Divine Chariot halted at the foot of the mountain; it was safe to say that the security here was a given—Blood Hidden Tower wouldn’t dare to assassinate anyone among these crowds, not even with a hundredfold the audacity.

The gatekeeper of the mountain was an old Grandmaster.

Lu Chenzhou marveled, admiring the sanctity of this Taoist holy land.

He said with a bow,

"I, Lu Chenzhou from Dragon City, have come to seek the triumphs and visit the ancient heritage of the sacred Wudang land."

According to Da Xia’s laws, historical landmarks used as Daoist sites by Top Martial Universities are public heritage shared by all citizens of Da Xia. Not only Martial Artists, but even average visitors are allowed entry as long as they do not disturb the order of the Academic Palace.

The old Grandmaster opened his eyes, examining Lu Chenzhou,

"Are you the one who performed Reverse Attack Break Two a while ago?"

Lu Chenzhou hadn’t expected news of his actions to have spread so widely.

"It is my junior."

"Promising... Go ahead."

The Grandmaster watched as Lu Chenzhou disappeared up the mountain path and muttered to himself:

"The battle for the Absolute Peak in the future, Hong Tianxiang is about to meet his match."

Owners of the Four Great Daoist Body, each a peerless prodigy of an era.

These people all have the potential to advance to the Absolute Peak.

Ascending to the Absolute Peak requires a vast amount of resources. It’s manageable at lower Realms, but once one’s Realm is high, many resources become as scarce as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, or even unique. Even with the opening of the Void Realm and the signs of a great era, it’s difficult to birth multiple Absolute Peaks at the same time.

Not to mention the old and core generations of strong figures, the new generation that has emerged in the last half-century, Daoist Bodies, Buddha Bodies, and various Martial Bone Dao Embryos, are also numerous.

The fastest among these, like Qi Jingtian and Zhen Ding, are already Grandmasters of their generation.

Those just below are also at the level of a master in Cultivation.

And the younger ones in their early twenties, like Zhang Lingmiao and Hong Tianxiang, are also Martial Arts Masters. In the eyes of the old-timers in the Martial Arts World, Lu Chenzhou’s talents before the Reverse Attack Break Two, although he was the top seat of Dragon City, were not enough to compete with the Four Great Daoist Body.

But now, there are faint signs of catching up.

Such a person is the most terrifying.

Up until now, there have been no rumors about Lu Chenzhou’s Martial Bone Dao Embryo, and the natural talents he has demonstrated do not match any known Martial Bone Dao Embryo.

His potential goes beyond that.

What does it mean to make rapid progress? This is it!

In six years, he went from an obscure high school student to a prodigy on par with those born to higher status, like the owners of Daoist and Buddha Bodies, a miracle is the only description.

Some even suspect that Lu Chenzhou has consumed top-level Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, such as the theoretically possible, but never before seen... hundred-thousand-year Vermilion Fruit.

The Void Realm is vast and infinite, full of unlimited opportunities.

In theory, if one is lucky enough,

Even a mortal can achieve enlightenment in a moment.

...

Hidden Immortal Rock.

Originally, it was an unnamed cave of the Immortals shrouded in misty clouds.

Legend has it, Zhang Zu cultivated Dao here.

The master was also known as "Hidden Immortal," thus it was renamed "Hidden Immortal Rock."

Many have verified that this place holds the secret to understanding Dao Yun. Countless seekers of enlightenment come here; when Lu Chenzhou arrived, there were more than a dozen people.

Those in Zhenwu Palace uniforms, on the other hand, were few.

After all, it was in their backyard where oddities are commonplace.

Those who could understand the Dao had already done so.

Those who could not might sit in contemplation for twenty years without grasping the Golden Core Path.

At most, they end up with a "kidney stone."

As soon as Lu Chenzhou arrived, he immediately became the center of attention.

"The top seat of Dragon City has come."

"A few days ago, he achieved Reverse Attack Break Two."

"Fearsome indeed."

Unknowingly,

Lu Chenzhou’s name has already spread far and wide, and wherever he goes, he is recognized.

"Isn’t this Brother Lu?"

A surprised voice came through; it was Gu Lingtong.

Lu Chenzhou asked with a smile:

"Mr. Gu, are you here to comprehend the Dao as well?"

Gu Lingtong sighed and said:

"Yes, I’ve been in seclusion here for three days without eating or drinking."

"Have you then achieved comprehension?"

"Just now, I’ve had a slight enlightenment and am preparing to head back home."

Listening to their conversation, the other seekers cast envious glances.

"How wonderful, enlightenment achieved in just three days."

"This is the son of the Unbreakable Taoist, skilled in both inner and outer studies with extraordinary comprehension."

"I’ve been sitting dry for seven days, I’m reaching my limit."

"I’ve lived here for a month and still fall short."

"Zhang Zu was the first in human history to attempt a Breakthrough Sixth Shackles, and although he failed, his strength is still among the top in the history of Taoist predecessors. The Dao Yun left by the old master is not easily comprehended. Take your time."

"Maybe only those with the Martial Bone Dao Embryo can comprehend the Dao in a day. I heard Qi Jingtian comprehended it in half a day, and Zhang Lingmiao and Hong Tianxiang were similar. The most impressive is Xuanwu Taoist; he understood the Dao at a glance, truly worthy of being called the reincarnation of Zhang Zu."

Amidst their conversations, they couldn’t help but look towards the newly arrived Lu Chenzhou.

This rising star, many compared with the owners of Taoist and Buddha Bodies.

They wondered how many days it would take to comprehend the Dao Yun left by Zhang Zu?
