With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal

"Indeed, the vital energy of wood is as practical as water and fire, not a bit less."

Meng Chuan understood as he felt his muscles and bones constantly changing.

This was because the feedback of vital energy was too abundant for the body to absorb in a short time.

"Let's do some punching; practicing martial arts is the best way to digest it."

...

Meanwhile, at Yanhua Martial Arts University's Yong'an branch campus.

Lin Yue repeatedly inspected the "mutated tree growth" in his hand.

Yesterday, he first went to the library and borrowed the "Celestial Demon Compendium," but even after a night, he couldn't find anything valuable.

Finally, at the resource exchange center, even the staff shook their heads:

"Material of anomalous wood transformation, same origin as tree growth, reclaimed at 5 credits according to the standard."

"Damn! I wouldn't even sell it to feed a dog!"

Lin Yue returned to his dorm slightly dejected, clutching his treasure.

Lying in bed, he held the thing high above him, and on impulse, he picked at a crack in the lump with his nail.

In the next moment, tiny beads of blood oozed from his fingertip.

Simultaneously, a pulse-like vibration emerged from the depth of the tree growth, startling him into nearly dropping it.

"What a sinister thing..."

Lin Yue frowned and stuffed it into the drawer by his bedside.

Unbeknownst to him, a trace of green had silently seeped into the depths of his palm lines...

...

Ten days later, on April 21st.

Meng Chuan, rubbing his sore body, checked the latest news about Chen Cang.

"The demonic nest uprising event has been mostly quelled under the coordination of the military, the police, and the Martial Arts University. The remaining Celestial Demons in the city have been thoroughly eradicated by local forces.

Venerable Huo escaped danger, and the tree demon was executed under Zhou Sheng's hand. Although this operation suffered heavy losses, it successfully contained the disaster from spreading, protecting the safety of Chen Cang and its surroundings.

Due to the severe damage to the city's construction, the affected residents have been properly accommodated in nearby cities."

"The demonic nest uprising has finally come to an end..."

Through this urgent event, he truly realized the threat of demonic calamity to ordinary people.

Only martial arts powers like the Great Saint Zhou can fundamentally resolve these issues, and he was far from that level.

"Train hard in martial arts, and one day, I will also become the pinnacle of this world."

Meng Chuan believed that day would not be far off, as he had the Martial Arts Limit Breaking panel, his future held unlimited possibilities.

...

After finishing today's practice, he returned to his dorm to meditate and adjust his breath.

The room was extremely quiet, with only the rustling sound of the trees outside the window.

In the sea of consciousness, two little yellow dragons roamed, and at this moment, the sensation of "Divine" was at its peak.

Meng Chuan glanced at the panel and pondered:

"While in good condition, let's try breaking through to the third level."

"Dragon Sitting Meditation: Second Level (99%)"

Thanks to the continuous feedback of spiritual power from the Thunder Seed, along with Meng Chuan's daily persistence in practice.

He was already just a step away from the highest level of the spiritual secret technique, Dragon Sitting Meditation.

Under introspection, as the secret technique operated.

In Meng Chuan's sea of consciousness, two roaming dragons intertwined and surged, golden splashes erupted as their scales rubbed against each other.

"The Two Dragons Playing with a Pearl has been achieved; the next step is spiritual division, attempting to condense a third dragon..."

Two dragons have formed a pair, and if a third is to be condensed.

Without the guidance of "Spiritual Division," it will inevitably lead to "Three Dragons Fighting for Supremacy."

By then, fighting in his mind, Meng Chuan would be the one to suffer...

Unlike progressing from the first level to the second.

Breaking through to the third level of Dragon Sitting Meditation requires taking the crucial step of spiritual division.

The key lies in further breaking down and refining the originally unified spiritual power.

Making it possess a capability similar to multi-threaded operation.

Before cultivating the Tao Heart plant demon, Meng Chuan dared not attempt it.

Now his "Divine" power had greatly increased, he could safely attempt the step of spiritual division.

Opening the "Spiritual Division" online course purchased from the Martial Arts Association mall, Meng Chuan attempted according to the steps.

In his mind, he clearly remembered his master's teachings:

"Mutually independent, but resonating with a shared origin."

Collecting his thoughts, Meng Chuan listened to the online course in his ear.

He closed his eyes tightly, forming the hand seals of Dragon Sitting Meditation.

Under introspection, his spiritual power seemed like a ladle of icy spring water, calm without the slightest ripple.

Following his master's and the online course's instructions.

Gradually, the situation in the ladle, under Meng Chuan's control, became tumultuous in an instant.

He carefully guided it, gradually forming a vortex that rippled outward circle by circle.

With a forceful push, in an instant.

The spiritual spring in the ladle condensed into a thick rope, suddenly rushing out and winding around the sea of consciousness.

The next step was the crucial one determining success or failure.

Clenching his teeth, Meng Chuan manipulated his spiritual power, causing it to convulse and transform incessantly above the sea of consciousness.

He dared not be distracted for a moment, for a slight mistake could lead to the failure of spiritual division, with a small chance of causing harm to his consciousness.

Time passed as Meng Chuan attempted several times.

The first cut was fine, but the spiritual power, after being divided, always slowly crawled back together.

Trying again for a moment, he understood.

To divide it into three, he must cut through decisively.

There must not be the slightest hesitation or stagnation to avoid rejoining once divided.

Fortunately, with a certification for eternity, Meng Chuan tried a few more times and completely grasped the key points of the process.

The next moment, it seemed as if an invisible blade flickered through his sea of consciousness as his spiritual power diverged.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

With three swift moves, Meng Chuan's martial will sliced his spirit into three parts like a ruthless sharp blade.

To prevent them from uncontrollably merging back together.

Meng Chuan decisively guided the bifurcated spiritual power into the two Xiaohuang dragons, taking personal control.

The Xiaohuang dragons swam in two circles and suddenly began to straighten their bodies.

Their whiskers twitched from side to side, as if they were performing the National Righteous Fist under closer inspection...

This feeling was incredibly wondrous, somewhat like manipulating a clone.

Coming back to his senses, Meng Chuan quit paying them attention and continued operating the Dragon Meditation Zen technique.

Time passed slowly until a crisp alert sounded in his mind.

[Dragon Meditation: Second Level (99%) → Third Level (1%)]

At the moment of the breakthrough, the virtual image of the third Xiaohuang dragon gradually became solid.

Newly born, but full of guts.

Upon seeing the other two plump and well-fed, it lashed its tail and charged ahead.

"Freeze!"

The third portion of spiritual power differentiated earlier played its role at this moment.

Residing within it, Meng Chuan's spiritual power successfully split into three and maneuvered all three around the sea of consciousness.

"Two dragons form a system akin to the Yin-Yang fish, while three dragons connect head to tail."

With the spiritual power's nourishment and allocation, the third golden dragon's body continuously enlarged.

Viewing internally, it grew from hair-thin to become substantial like the other two.

The forms of the first two slightly diminished, but at this point, the three reached a dynamic balance, independently coordinated yet resonating from the same source.

Meng Chuan withdrew his spiritual power, wiping the fine sweat from his forehead.

The three golden dragons were petite, but as his spiritual power strengthened and proficiency in the secret technique increased.

Their forms would become increasingly powerful.

Ultimately, upon reaching perfection in Dragon Meditation, the three would merge as one.

Transforming entirely into an impervious golden barrier.

The third level effect of Dragon Meditation surpassed the first two levels greatly, experiencing it again, Meng Chuan murmured:

"It's a bit like having more brains; is this what an increase in comprehension feels like ..."

He could sense that his reaction speed in thinking was indeed quicker.

But the enhancement was subtle, not very significant.

Only when the third level reaches perfection will there be a significant boost.

The importance of comprehension is self-evident; it dictates the upper limit for a martial arts practitioner.

After all this grinding, he only had [Certification for Eternity] and [Morning and Evening Enlightenment] to enhance this ability.

"No matter what, I'll gradually push it to perfection. Continue doing it once daily and see how long it takes."

There are market and United University pills that stimulate spiritual power for a brief period.

Meng Chuan learned that while they increased his Dragon Meditation practice frequency.

Long-term use had evident side effects, not worth the trouble.

Furthermore, such medications are not cheap, one tube a day, and he'd go broke in half a year...

Thinking about money, Meng Chuan recalled something.

After a recent breakthrough, he first studied martial arts matters, then the incident with Chen Cang occurred.

He forgot he was also an "internet celebrity."

Opening the short video app, his profile had quietly etched the [Founder of the New Version of National Righteous Fist] certification badge.

Reviewing a Cannon Fist teaching video he posted two months ago.

The comment section had exploded, with all viewers, seeing his latest certification, asking Meng Chuan to talk about the new version of the National Righteous Fist.

[Xiaomeng, is this certification authentic? Did you become the officially recognized founding ancestor?]

[I'm a student from the New Version of National Righteous Fist Experiment Province. Our teacher says this version is indeed good, Meng God being the founder is awesome!]

[I've been following since Brother Chuan deconstructed the fist with two million fans, and now you're officially certified... feels like watching a martial artist grow up.]

Besides, Meng Chuan noticed he also had quite a few haters...

[Lmao, just an ordinary Limit Breaking martial artist, now any cat or dog can start a sect?

And he even gave himself the title of Infinite Fist, sorry, I could beat you with one hand using Tai Chi!]

Thinking the person might be a Wudang master, Meng Chuan found out by checking the personal profile that it was an official account of a Tai Chi training class...

"In Jiangcheng, huh... just you wait."

Meng Chuan planned to trace it back when he had some free time.

He's a man who holds grudges.

Jiangcheng is not far north of Wudang Mountain, so the next time he visits the mountain, he'll deal with the trolls along the way...

Ignoring them for now, Meng Chuan recorded and uploaded a video deconstructing the National Righteous Fist.

The total length of the video was fifteen minutes, with the first three minutes free to watch, and the rest unlocked for [10 yuan].

This was considered after thorough deliberation—one yuan was too cheap while several tens to a hundred were too costly.

Actually, pricing it at twenty or thirty yuan was feasible too.

But Meng Chuan thought it over and chose to consider some talented yet underprivileged kids.

After posting it, it was approved in mere seconds, and Meng Chuan chuckled to himself:

"Wait a while to check the income, and perhaps, I might even participate in the Martial Arts Association's auction then..."

Coming back to reality, Meng Chuan found the Jiangcheng troll piping up again.

[Look, our Infinite Fist is now selling courses, hurry and buy, it's all IQ tax.]

"..."

Meng Chuan, without saying a word, picked up his phone, and began checking flights from Yong'an to Jiangcheng.
