Chapter 416: 0270 Ten Directions Cloud Stepping Boots, Wind Element Control by Feng Xu (4k, seeking double monthly tickets in mid-month)_2

Cui Shan Daoist sighed with regret.

Such qualifications, if only they could join his Daoist sect.

Staying in Dragon City is such a waste.

Lu Chenzhou asked,

"Elder, what are these?"

He was not being pretentious; he truly wanted them.

Cui Shan Daoist explained,

"These shoes are Divine Weapon Magic Shoes, known as the ’Ten Directions Cloud Stepping Boots.’ They are a low-class Inheriting Divine Weapon of our Daoist sect. Once worn, they allow the wearer to move as swiftly as the wind and even tread short distances through the air. Should you encounter another assassin who has broken through the second shackle, better to flee if you can. There’s no need to engage with them—roaming the world, safety comes first."

Lu Chenzhou’s heart was ablaze.

What fantastic items, especially for making a getaway.

They sounded incredibly powerful.

Paired with the ’Cold Silkworm Robe’ and the Swallow Form Body Technique, if he met that assassin again, he could just take off. Unless he couldn’t escape, who would want to try and break the second shackle?

"As for this token, it is called the ’True Martial Order.’

With this token, you are considered half a student of Zhenwu Palace. If you meet alumni of Zhenwu Palace in the future, show them this token, and they will assist you.

If you wish to learn the Wudang Skills, you can also use this token to gain access to the Scripture Pavilion. Of course, you will need to pay to learn the skills, which can be done with cash."

Lu Chenzhou accepted the items with both hands, thinking to himself that these were good things.

This token instantly granted him half the privileges of a Wudang disciple.

Without the need to join the academy.

"Elder’s kindness, this junior will bear in mind."

Cui Shan Daoist said,

"The ’True Martial Order’ has only been issued a hundred times since its creation, and apart from you, nearly all are held by outsiders who have made outstanding contributions to Wudang or are Heavenly Kings and Absolute Peak Strong individuals with whom we share deep bonds. Make good use of it."

The Daoist’s reasoning was quite simple.

For a Martial Arts Genius with such excellent moral character and the ability to manifest ancestor Zhang, there was no need for factional distinctions. Befriending a person of Absolute Peak status was advantageous.

Absolute Peak status, that was Dragon King’s evaluation.

Even if the Dragon King had misjudged,

This Lu Chenzhou could probably become a Heavenly King in the future.

The Daoist asked,

"Where will your next destination be?"

"The Shaolin Temple, I suppose."

"Good, we shall meet again if fate allows."

The Daoist soared into the sky and disappeared without a trace.

Lu Chenzhou looked back at Wudang Mountain.

"This trip was worthwhile."

After checking everything,

He placed the True Martial Order close to his chest. The material of this token was likely of excellent quality, akin to Outer Heaven Mysterious Iron, and served well as a protective amulet over his heart.

As for the Ten Directions Cloud Stepping Boots, he couldn’t wait to put them on his feet. Divine Weapons like these always fit perfectly regardless of size, offering supreme comfort.

Warm in winter, cool in summer, and breathable.

Once he put on these boots, he nearly had the bearing of a Daoist expert.

"All that’s missing is a Daoist robe..."

Lu Chenzhou gently touched the ground, an invisible breeze of agility lifting him ten zhang high. Then, a burst of counterforce from the sole of the boot propelled him forward, and he shot off into the distance in an instant.

"So fast."

Within a breath, he had already moved a hundred meters away.

Finally, after five breaths, he landed a li away.

"Gliding a li... truly a Divine Artifact."

When he thought to repeat the feat,

He found that the mysterious power inside the sole of the boots seemed to have dissipated.

"Looks like it has a cooldown time, similar to the Cold Silkworm Robe."

These boots would be highly valued in the military War Merit Store as well, with similar capabilities.

A pair would cost a few thousand battle merits, slightly more expensive than ordinary Divine Weapons.

For one thing, Divine Weapons could replace lower-level Virtual Blade Weapons.

But for items like shoes and robes, there were simply no substitutes.

Not to mention, the use of such Divine Weapons doesn’t require advanced Martial Arts.

In a game, these would be top-notch equipment without any level restrictions.

...

On this day,

The news that Dragon City’s top student, Lu Chenzhou, had comprehended the Dao at the Hidden Immortal Rock of Wudang and induced ancestor Zhang to manifest, spread rapidly across the internet. Before the public could digest Lu Chenzhou’s feat of overcoming the second shackle, this guy hit everyone with another even more explosive piece of news!

Who was ancestor Zhang?

A manifestation of such an Immortal was bound to be a major event!

Even those Daoist Body individuals hadn’t induced such a manifestation.

The last manifestation was by Xuanwu Taoist, an Absolute Peak Strong individual.

What this implied, was self-evident!

The news spread like snowflakes, reaching Martial Arts University of Dragon City.

In the genius class’s chat group, everyone was enthusiastically discussing.

[Xiao He: My big bro Lu Chenzhou, possesses the stature of an Absolute Peak Strong!]

[Chen Xiaoyun: My buddy Chenzhou, awesome!]

[Leopard Woman: Brother Lu’s journey this time has truly made his name known throughout the world.]

[Wang Hongdao: Brother Lu will from now on be the benchmark for Dragon City’s top student!]

The students of Fangshan High School were even more thrilled.

Liu Huan reminisced about the drunken words at a past classmate gathering, and they had now become prophetic.

"I just knew, one day, who in the world would not know you?!"

Tiger Teeth Girl and the others were filled with emotion.

They were still a distance away from becoming Martial Artists.

Yet, Lu Chenzhou was about to Break Second Shackles, and his fame had skyrocketed.

Having such a classmate was indeed a matter of pride!

...

Qingtian Cang Villa.

A small gathering of the sect, only missing Lu Chenzhou.

With Lu Chenzhou absent, he was the topic of conversation at the dinner table every day. Old Ji would get so excited thinking about his disciple’s Reverse Attack Break Two... and then excitedly proceed to Opening the Acupoint.

Ji Feiyan’s little face flushed with excitement, she exclaimed,

"My junior brother has really outdone himself, even causing Zhang Zu to manifest!"

Old Ji turned on his phone, and saw the news reports and chat groups all discussing it.

All the topics were about Lu Chenzhou, his disciple!

Old Ji’s voice trembled with excitement, and he couldn’t help but clap.

"Good! Good! Good! Truly of Absolute Peak presence! What are these Four Great Daoist Body, what is Buddha Body, regardless of what Martial Bone Dao Embryo, none of them are as badass as my disciple!"

He wanted to live well; he wanted to be a master of the Absolute Peak!

...

Mighty Kunlun.

Abode of the mythological Queen Mother of the West.

In a valley like a Shangri-La, where snow from the mountains turned into babbling brooks flowing eastward, Li Gui and Li Yu, the pair of Immortal Lovers, lay on the grassy slopes of the hillside basking in the sun.

"Days like these are truly comfortable."

"Yes, with a heart free from distractions, enjoying life."

"What should we name our daughter?"

"How about Li Yao?"

"I hope Yao’er will have Top Class root bone; I’ll personally teach her Swordsmanship."

"One can’t force a root bone; it’s good enough if she grows up safely."

"It would be best if she becomes a Martial Artist; I do not wish for the pain of the elder sending off the younger."

Ding-a-ling-ling—

Li Gui answered the phone, and Hong Fu laughed heartily,

"Master, you ought to look at the news."

"What’s happened now?"

"Just look and you’ll see."

Li Gui glanced at the screen, and his expression was shocked.

Beside him, Li Yu asked,

"What is it?"

"Chenzhou has caused Zhang Zu to manifest?"

Li Gui simply couldn’t understand.

How could Chenzhou, a genius of Elephant Form, incite a Daoist Ancestor to show signs of presence?

On the other end of the phone, Hong Fu’s voice came through,

"I was wrong; Chenzhou is not just a Tiger Form prodigy... He’s a Martial Arts all-rounder!"

...

Void Realm.

Imperial Capital, Starfire City.

Wanshixian listened to his assistant report the recent events outside.

"Reverse Attack Break Two, drawing out Zhang Zu’s manifestation..."

The Dragon King’s evaluation was indeed precise.

This child was truly of an Absolute Peak presence.

...

Zhenwu City.

The Daoist in the dark robe, eyes vast as the stars, pondered,

"Zhang Zu’s manifestation..."

...

Songshan.

Among the Five Mountains.

Tai-shi Mountain’s 36 peaks and Shao-shi Mountain’s 36 peaks, a total of 72 magnificent, perilous peaks and the ancient temples nestled within them, along with the ancient lanterns and Buddhas, made up the practice grounds of Shaolin.

The Buddhist path of cultivation originated in the ancient Po Suo Country, and hence Fist Theory and culture were also heavily influenced by it, sharing commonalities in the Spirit cultivation theories.

When Buddhism entered Da Xia, the Three Religions merged; Martial Artists on this land took the path of simultaneously cultivating Essence, Qi, and Spirit, becoming the strongest extraordinary system of the current times.

This day.

On the Martial Arts Training ground of Shaolin Temple, a group of students from Songshan Martial Arts University sneaked glances during their training at the young figure strolling in Daoist boots.

"The head of Dragon City has arrived."

"He’s surely here for the Dharma Wall."

"He wouldn’t cause Dharma Ancestor to manifest, would he?"

"It’s actually quite possible; Dragon City is derived from Wutai Mountain’s Ling Kong Daoist lineage, much of its Fist Theory is common with Buddhism; compared to Daoist affinity, this child has a deeper Buddhist connection."

For a moment, all the disciples were curious.

Neither fully Daoist nor Buddhist, if one could consummate both Dao and Buddha...

That would really, leave no room for others to live!
