Chapter 348: Chapter 348

But Luo Qin was also curious about where the Crane Immortal had gone before and why it disappeared...

Stepping out of the True Guard Hall, he saw his master standing at the center of the Mystic Altar.

Luo Qin stepped forward to pay respects and then presented his question.

The old Daoist smiled faintly and said:

"The Crane Immortal is a manifestation of the spirit within the Beast King Map, both real and unreal, neither tangible nor illusory.

When you were defeated at the Northern United battle, your thoughts were chaotic, severing the connection with the Crane’s will, so it naturally returned to the painting.

Now that your heart is clear, use the Beast King Map to reconnect with the true essence within the painting.

The Crane Immortal sensed the harmonious energy and reappeared.

Remember, Luo’er, the Beast King Map is the true foundation of our Elephant Form Sect, its mysteries recognize energy, not the master.

If the heart is not sincere, the spirit scatters, and if the mind is not focused... the form disappears."

Luo Qin nodded, half-understanding.

The martial principles within were too vast for a Martial Arts family member like him.

But regardless, what his master said made sense.

His mindset indeed wasn’t good after the defeat, and the Crane Immortal’s departure was reasonable.

Thinking of this, he felt the powerful sensation brought by the change in the first major key point.

A flame named determination surged in Luo Qin’s chest.

He was full of confidence, eager to spar with Meng Chuan again, unwilling to accept defeat.

Purple Sun True Monarch held his forehead and said:

"Luo’er, you’ve been in seclusion too long, look at the news from June 1st..."

"What is it, Master?"

Luo Qin was puzzled, but still turned on his device to browse.

[Nineteen-year-old Martial Artist Meng Chuan achieves divine status in a single battle! The ownership of United University Martial Extreme True Inheritance is finalized!]

He understood, Meng Chuan did something significant again while he was in seclusion.

However, what’s the big deal?

Martial Extreme True Inheritance and the Celestial Master Mansion’s [Tian Shu Leader] hold equivalent positions, both are top among their peers.

He had already reserved the position of Chief at the Celestial Master Mansion half a year ago, without the need to compete with others.

On the summer solstice, June 21st, the coronation ceremony would be held on the day of utmost yang.

These ancient great sects have entirely different rules compared to the new era’s Four-sided Alliance University.

The chiefs have always been pre-appointed since antiquity.

Take the Celestial Master Mansion for example.

The elders of Dragon Tiger Mountain gather opinions, which are finally summarized to the head "Celestial Master."

After discussion with the previous generation "Ancestor Celestial Master," the final decision is made.

From a certain perspective, this is also a kind of "antiquated practice."

No matter how talented students from other branches of the Celestial Master Mansion are. Read complete version only at Nove1Fire.net

Without being heard by the higher-ups, it’s ultimately futile...

Thinking of this, Luo Qin couldn’t help but feel a sense of superiority.

Your struggles are nothing but trivial matters to me!

He casually clicked on the video link below the news, prepared to appreciate it.

In just over three minutes, Luo Qin was dumbfounded.

His heart spirit fluctuated with Motohiko’s circumstances.

Until the end, when Meng Chuan transformed into a "terrifying form," and took down the opponent in a few moves.

Luo Qin couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

"It seems that in that battle, I didn’t even qualify to make the opponent exert full effort..."

After watching the video again, Luo Qin felt his Tao Heart shatter a bit.

The opponent’s Tiger Form expert was at least someone with more than three major key point variations.

I certainly couldn’t block those last few attacks, let alone the monster that easily crushed the opponent...

Thinking of this, he had just come out of seclusion, but now wanted to go back into seclusion again...

Luo Qin thought for a moment and made up his mind.

Forget about such ethereal images, "strong and fierce" is the true principle!

"Master, I want to practice hard skills!"

That night, at two-thirty in the morning.

On the path of Lishan Mountain, the cloaked elder’s figure moved swiftly like lightning.

With one step, he crossed over a hundred meters, rushing towards the northern slope.

On the way, Meng Chuan’s senses were fully open.

The martial will floated like a light breeze, intertwining with the plants and trees along the way.

Piercing through the dense forest, lightly tapping the rock wall beneath his feet, his figure glided like a specter into the secluded valley.

For some reason, mist enveloped the valley.

Meng Chuan looked up at the moon, only faint fragments scattered on the rugged stones at the valley floor.

With a couple of quick movements, he circled the valley’s entrance once more.

After reconfirming there was no one else around, he returned to the valley floor.

The chilling laugh of the sinister old man echoed in the valley:

"Ke ke ke... this place is indeed remarkable!"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Meng Chuan withdrew from role-playing thoughts, sitting cross-legged, hidden deep within the valley.

Under the dappled shadows of the night, his thoughts flickered uncertainly.

Earlier, through the dark web, Meng Chuan had learned about the basic knowledge of Demon Skills.

They are roughly divided into three categories, the first being the mainstream of the current Demon Path, bestowed by the Celestial Demon.

The most elusive concept within Great Chu’s Celestial Demon, which grants the so-called [Divine Skill].

As a means to entice those with unstable minds.

The power obtained in this way is superficial, and backlash from the Demon Skill is common.

Moreover, it can layer exploitation akin to being cursed.

Once a cultivation technique is transmitted, the life and death of the lower ranks are at the whim of the other party.

Only when providing [emotional] nourishment to the upper ranks can they eke out an existence.

Taking the Great Chu’s Demon Path power as an example, the Demon Summoning Hall is typical.

99% of those within cultivate these types of Demon Skills, referred to as the [Ascension] promotion system.

Due to the characteristics of these Demon Skills, they are easy and show quick results.

As a result, the Demon Summoning Hall’s scale is the largest within the three major Demon Path organizations, with rampant demonic influence.

The second type of Demon Skill comes from some martial arts geniuses who "stray from the path," shouting that my fate is in my hands, not in the heavens, and optimize and improve upon the Celestial Demon gifted techniques themselves.

This type of technique has few side effects initially, but still carries slight backlash risks.

And as cultivation progresses, the risk of backlash gradually increases, and side effects become more apparent.

For example, the [Blood Cultivation] method, can use the blood of cattle, sheep, pigs, and other livestock at the low martial artist level.
