Chapter 1283 - 736: Glimpsing Cause and Effect, Mind Games with Shanghao!

Chapter 1283: Chapter 736: Glimpsing Cause and Effect, Mind Games with Shanghao!

With countless emotions in his heart, Meng Chuan’s expression was unprecedentedly solemn.

The confirmation of the conjecture about "qi" made him see more clearly the difficulty of the path ahead in the human world.

Yet when he raised his head again, there was no trace of confusion in his eyes.

His master was right; he must first accomplish what is within his means.

At present, he cannot do much, so he shouldn’t worry needlessly but should focus on Martial Arts.

However!

If the changes brought by the traits of "qi" can truly repair the dimensions of the human world.

Meng Chuan feels that he is endowed with new responsibilities and obligations.

From a certain perspective, among the hundreds of millions of compatriots on Blue Star, perhaps he is currently the only one who can accomplish this.

If he doesn’t do it, then who else would?

Who is the one plundering the qi?

Shanghao, the Cosmic Demon God, a cosmic innate deity born from "light".

Wielding the supreme laws of [Origins of Creation and Source of All Phenomena], a lifeform of the terrifying eleventh-tier.

Even just its projection can be seen as a blade hanging over the human world...

The danger visible to the naked eye, Meng Chuan knows well.

Yet despite this, he cannot be a "turtle that hides its head"...

The human world is where he grew up, where his family, girlfriend, mentors, and friends are.

The martial path of Meng Chuan was never for mere self-preservation.

The qi has such great applications, he cannot stand by idly.

But merely shouting slogans is not his style.

"Proceed with two lines: firstly, clarify whether the traits can indeed produce or bring about qi.

Once confirmed, expedite the search and practice of cultivation techniques related to Limit-Breaking Traits and qi, paying special attention to this aspect, then proceed with research and development.

As for the second point, the most crucial one, it is to practically use qi for the repairing of the heavens..."

He still doesn’t know how strong one would need to be to smash Shanghao’s projection enveloping Blue Star.

But if he can’t be the one to "reverse the heavens" for now, being the one to "repair the heavens" is acceptable!

Passion burns in Meng Chuan’s heart, yet he continuously introspects, restraining his impulses.

Admonishing himself to be extremely cautious when executing the second point.

"From the experience in the Imagery World of Baxia at Wudang Mountain, I can know that the [Crimson Demon God] at the same level as Shanghao can, with a mere wave, refine an entire ’High-level Planet’."

That water world is far stronger than the human world and was once the homeland of the tenth-tier existence, the great Black Tortoise deity.

Yet it is still easily toyed with by the Demon God.

"Thus reasoning, the true form of Shanghao possesses absolute strength and can easily destroy Blue Star, but for Shanghao, Blue Star poses a ’threat’ not sufficient for direct action.

To Shanghao, facing Blue Star is akin to a human’s attitude when facing mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes are too insignificant, humans are too lazy to care, lighting mosquito coils or spraying some floral water suffices; Shanghao envelops Blue Star with its projection, snuffing out qi in a similar manner.

In the eyes of Shanghao, I am an ant; no matter how much I grow and strengthen, I’m still just a larger mosquito, insignificant, but if I were to touch the ’qi’ and be noticed by Shanghao, an inappropriate analogy would be akin to a mosquito that can drink floral water catching a human’s attention, likely piquing Shanghao’s curiosity..."

So...

Come quietly, don’t shoot...

"If I don’t touch the qi locked by Shanghao, perhaps it won’t notice..."

Meng Chuan finally pondered, calming his heart while recalling another matter mentioned by Master Ding Guang.

"His master just spoke of the final disappearance of qi around the Kunlun mountains, which is also an important clue...

Once one’s strength rises to a certain level, I must go there to investigate."

The main part of Kunlun’s mountain range is now infested with Demon Nests; it’s long become the headquarters of Celestial Demons, a perilous land for humans.

Just like the depth of the Qin Ridge, occupied by the Ancestral Dragon forces, extremely dangerous.

With his current strength, going there would be seeking death.

"Still lacking in power, everything must be carefully planned..."

...

In March, the rain is steadily relentless.

So Meng Chuan walked out of the practice room, leaned against the window in the corridor of the Martial Arts Association to get some air, and continued asking his master about the issue of "baleful aura."

The sky gradually darkened, leaden clouds rolled, and the sound of wind and thunder was faintly heard.

Meng Chuan extended a hand out of the window, gently grasping, amassing a large mass of rainwater’s vital energy that lingered undispersed.

The heavy rain was about to fall...

Closing the window, he returned to the center of the practice room and sat cross-legged, calming his heart to focus on listening to his master Ding Guang on the phone.

In the face of his disciple’s inquiry, Ding Guang’s voice was calm and clear:

[Since you ask about baleful aura, as your master, I shall explain to you briefly.

The so-called balefulness is an extreme energy within heaven and earth, and not a proprietary term for a certain type of "qi"; if you wish to distinguish its types, first understand its origin. The old monk will teach you a section of a mental method, remember it with a calm heart.]

[Thank you, Master.]

Meng Chuan held his breath and focused, listening as Master Ding Guang slowly recited a segment of ancient unintelligible syllables with a unique rhythm, somewhat like a Heart Sutra spell, but much simpler.

Master Ding Guang repeated the spell three times, and he memorized it completely.

This spell is not long but contains a peculiar rhythm of visualization.

Meng Chuan followed along, intoning softly twice, while activating "Spiritual Power," spreading his perception.

Wherever his eyes could see, within the Fire Attribute practice room, the vital energy seemed different.

[Memorized it? Try it.]

[Alright.]

Meng Chuan’s eyes suddenly emitted a faint light, his pupils reflecting swirling misty streams, the Fire Attribute vital energy around him became as clear as if pointed by lines, with each deeper-toned etching directing towards the center of the room’s "little volcano."
