Chapter 542: Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture and Longevity Extending Divine Art (1)
Due to an accident when he was young, the old monk Wu Zun could no longer cultivate martial arts.
This was naturally the biggest regret of the old monk, especially after he became an old monk who swept the floor in the Sutra Depository. He read so many secret manuals of divine techniques every day but could not cultivate them. One could imagine how regretful the old monk was.
Therefore, Old Monk Wu Zun’s greatest wish was to be able to embark on the path of cultivation again and cultivate to a certain level. He would at least be a master of the upper three states of the martial arts world.
This wish occupied most of the old monk’s wishes. His other bigger wish was to change the declining status of Shaolin Temple and let it regain its former vitality. He wanted to get rid of those people who had been in their positions for nothing.
These two wishes basically occupied all of the old monk’s regrets. As for the other small wishes, even if they couldn’t be fulfilled, it wouldn’t affect Zhu Wuwan from fusing with the old monk’s soul.
As long as he could fulfill these two wishes, Zhu Wuyang would be able to bring more than ninety-nine percent of the old monk’s soul back to his main body, allowing his main body to obtain great benefits.
After some consideration, Zhu Wuwan already had a plan in mind.
However, before carrying out the plan, he had to clean up the Sutra Depository first.
After spending more than an hour, Zhu Wuwan finally finished sweeping the dust off the ground while panting heavily. Then, she came to the depths of the Sutra Depository and stood in front of a secret manual of divine techniques.
Tendon Changing Classic!
This was the supreme martial arts manual of Shaolin Temple, Tendon Changing Classic. It could repair a warrior’s damaged meridians and dantian, allowing the warrior to embark on the path of cultivation again, and lay an extremely stable foundation for cultivation.
Foundation Establishment Divine Art, Healing Treasure Book!
Although his foundation was destroyed when he was young, he was not qualified to cultivate the Tendon Changing Classic due to his status at that time, so he missed the best opportunity.
When he was older, he would enter the Sutra Depository and see the Tendon Changing Classic. Wu Zun was already old, and his blood and Qi were extremely weak. Even if he wanted to cultivate, he would be powerless. At most, he would only be able to enter the rudiments. However, what use would the rudiments of the Tendon Changing Classic have?
However, Zhu Wuyang had come with the Special Encounter System and the Breakthrough Stone. Everything was different now.
Zhu Wanwan only spent a few dozen minutes to master the Tendon Changing Classic. Most of the time was spent on flipping through and comprehending.
After entering the sect, he could use the Breakthrough Stone to level up directly. He did not need any other resources.
Zhu Wuan came to the small wooden house where the old monk lived. He sat in the bathtub and began to improve Tendon Changing Classic.
He only spent one-thousandth of a Breakthrough Stone to raise Tendon Changing Classic from Beginner to Small Success.
His body began to tremble violently, and his damaged meridians and dantian began to repair at an astonishing speed. It even glowed with new vitality, and even his physical fitness was greatly improved.
Strength, speed, reaction speed…However, Wu Zun’s body had yet to recover.
Zhu Wanwan continued to improve Tendon Changing Classic. As the 0.01% of the Breakthrough Stone was poured into his body, Tendon Changing Classic advanced from Small Success to Large Success at an astonishing speed.
His damaged meridians and dantian had basically recovered, but he still hadn’t recovered to his peak condition. His physical fitness had also increased by several times, and lifting a thousand pounds was a piece of cake.
Zhu Wuwan continued to improve Tendon Changing Classic. After an hour, it was raised to the Perfection Realm.
At this point, every meridian was tough and powerful, every piece of muscle had recovered to its peak, and every bone was active…He was ten times healthier than when he was twenty years old.
Tendon Changing Classic was terrifying.
This increased Zhu Wuyan’s lifespan by at least 30 years. He no longer had to worry about dying at any time. His overall strength was comparable to martial artists above Rank-8.
In this Integrated Martial Arts World, martial arts were divided into nine grades. Grade Nine was the lowest and Grade One was the highest. However, even a Grade Nine martial artist was terrifying to ordinary people.
This was because only martial artists who had internal energy in their bodies were qualified to be called ninth-grade martial artists. Internal energy was the foundation of cultivation in this integrated martial arts world.
Among them, Rank-9 to Rank-7 were the lower three realms, Rank-6 to Rank-4 were the middle three realms, and Rank-3 to Rank-1 were the upper three realms!
Above the Upper Three Realms were known as transcendent-grade, or rather, the Connate Realm. Buddhists called it the Arhat Realm, while Taoists called it the Human Immortal Realm. Ordinary people were too ignorant and confused to actually call it the Immortal Realm.
All in all, it was an incredible realm. It was said that once one stepped into it, one would be able to grasp magical power.
After using the Tendon Changing Classic to restore his body to its peak state, he could then properly cultivate and improve.
Zhu Wanhao went straight to another place in the depths of the Scripture Depository. There was a Taoist divine technique there.
Eternal Youth Technique!
The reason why he didn’t choose a Buddhist cultivation technique was because the effects of Buddhist cultivation techniques on prolonging life were far inferior to Daoist cultivation techniques. At this moment, Zhu Wuwan was old and weak, so it was better to choose a divine technique that prolonged life.
The Eternal Youth Technique was brought back from the outside world by an Arhat of Shaolin Temple. It was said to be the peak of life-prolonging techniques. It was said that after cultivating to a certain realm, even if one did not break through to the first grade, one would still have a lifespan of about 200 years.
If he could use this opportunity to break through to the First Stage and step into the Human Immortal Realm, he would have a lifespan of about a thousand years. One could imagine how terrifying it was.
In Shaolin Temple alone, there were many monks who gave up Buddhist cultivation methods and chose to cultivate the Eternal Youth Arts. Unfortunately, after so many years, the number of monks who could cultivate it to a high level could be counted on one hand.
The Eternal Youth Technique was divided into ten levels. It was said that the first nine levels could allow one to break through a grade and increase one’s lifespan by more than ten years. Together, it could increase the lifespan of a cultivator to nearly two hundred years.
The last level corresponded to the Human Immortal Realm. Once one broke through to this level, they could obtain incredible benefits.
Zhu Wanwan spent the time it took to brew a cup of tea to completely understand the Eternal Spring Technique. However, he did not cultivate it immediately. Instead, he began to read through other similar life-prolonging techniques, preparing to extract the essence and discard the dregs, and integrate them into the Eternal Spring Technique to raise it to an even higher level.
Although the Eternal Spring Arts could be considered a divine treasure, Zhu Wuwan still looked down on it. After all, although its effects on health were amazing, it was a little too weak in terms of combat and defense. At least, Zhu Wuwan looked down on it.
Even if it was the effect of health preservation and longevity, Zhu Wuyang felt that there were many areas that could be improved. In that case, of course, he had to make some slight modifications.
However, Zhu Wuyan would not spend too much time on this. After all, in this Martial Integration Small World, Zhu Wuyan was just a passerby.
Zhu Wuyang’s purpose for coming here was to earn a large amount of World Origin. Therefore, it was enough as long as he had the strength of the number one in the world. There was no need to pursue being too strong.
Therefore, Zhu Wuwan only spent dozens of hours to improve the Eternal Spring Technique, increasing its power by about ten times before stopping. Although Zhu Wuwan was confident that he could improve it to be even more powerful, at least several times stronger.
However, that would take too long. Zhu Wuwan thought about it and did not continue. Instead, she prepared to start cultivating this new Eternal Spring Arts.
If nothing unexpected happened, Zhu Wanwan would be able to live for about 300 years with the Eternal Spring Technique before she broke through to the Connate Human Immortal Realm, far surpassing the previous 200 years.
Most importantly, Zhu Wuyan’s combat strength would be dozens of times stronger than the Eternal Spring Technique.
