"Cloud Ascending Ladder," Lu Chenzhou had not heard of it.
But he knew of another similar Cultivation Technique, "Cloud Ladder Leap."
This was a famous Lower Body Technique Divine Skill from the Zhenwu Palace, said to originate from Zhang Zu as well. He wondered what the relationship was with "Cloud Ascending Ladder."
Probably quite similar, only that "Cloud Ladder Leap" had been improved and optimized.
Of course, it couldn’t be ruled out that this Divine Skill was a new creation by the will of Zhang Zu from within Hidden Immortal Rock, as the years went by. Either way, he had struck gold.
He had scored a Divine Skill for free!
At the Top Martial University, if you wanted to learn a Divine Skill, unless you found a True Inheritor Master, you would need tens of thousands of Great rits, not to ntion that this was also a Daoist Cultivation Technique.
It wasn’t sothing you could learn just by throwing money at it.
During this journey, he had already scored four Martial Arts disciplines for free.
Tai Chi Boxing, needless to say, was already public Martial Arts.
Then, there was the complete version of Lv Zu’s "Pure Yang Unlimited Shield," a Middle-Level Hard Qi Gong.
The grade-unknown "Great Pill Technique of Pure Yang."
And the suspected Divine Skill "Cloud Ascending Ladder."
He had struck it ridiculously rich!
Whether he would study them now or not, he would at least get a beginner’s grasp, a secured profit.
If he wished to reach the Absolute Peak, he most likely needed Mastery in Three Religions.
After all, that’s what the other big shots had done.
Mastery in Three Religions did not an learning all of the Da Xia Martial Arts, but understanding a little about each, in order to infer everything from one and integrate it well, to clarify the future path.
The premise to moving forward is first checking all the paths.
The Martial Arts Tree had broken through to a height of five Zhang; the fog shrouding the Fifth Realm of Boxing Theory ahead of Lu Chenzhou was becoming more and more transparent. This dialogue with Zhang Zu deepened his understanding of Boxing Theory and Martial Arts Theory, invaluable for his future path.
"Seeing the world, beholding all living beings, seeing oneself. For , what is the world? Magnificent landscapes, Three Mountains, and Five Mountains, this is the world; the sages from ancient to modern tis are also the world. The elders asked to co out and see the world, and indeed, it holds profound aning."
The Fifth Realm was within his reach.
But, just barely.
However, he knew what he lacked.
"Buddhist Sects..."
Both Buddha and Dao broadly influence Da Xia Martial Arts. To delve deeper, any Boxing Lineage cannot escape the relationship with the Two Mystic Sects. He had already traveled to two Daoist sacred grounds; next, it was ti to change flavors, visit Songshan where Shaolin ca from, visit Wutai Mountain where the Elephant Form Ancestor Master Li Lingkong beca a monk, rge Buddha Dao, and verify Martial Arts.
The Spirit of the current Lu Chenzhou had completely transford.
In his eyes, there was also a profound light.
He subtly began to possess the deanor and temperant of one who had attained the Dao.
By this ti, it was midnight.
The moon shone brightly, casting light upon the stunned figures below.
Lu Chenzhou was slightly taken aback as he looked at Hidden Immortal Rock, surrounded by a sea of people. Not just from Wudang Mountain, but Dragon and Tiger Mountain, Qiyun Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain... Many people had co, coming to witness the manifestation of Zhang Zu, with thousands watching Lu Chenzhou demonstrate his boxing.
For a mont, the atmosphere turned sowhat awkward.
Gu Lingtong asked sowhat dazedly,
"Brother Lu, have you attained enlightennt?"
"Indeed, I have."
Lu Chenzhou let out a laugh and greeted the crowd with a fist-and-palm salute.
He made his way through the crowd, looking out at the seven peaks of Wudang shrouded in the night.
Lu Chenzhou bowed deeply,
"Thank you, the elders of Wudang!"
Finally, he bowed deeply toward Hidden Immortal Rock,
"Zhang Zu above, please accept this junior’s salute!"
He excitedly darted through the woods like a child.
The crowd watched Lu Chenzhou with envy, curiosity, skepticism... all these were present.
"What exactly did he realize?"
"I feel what we realized is not the sa Dao."
"He had Zhang Zu show his saintly presence, how could it be the sa?"
"Could it be that he dreamt of Zhang Zu and received the sage’s teachings?"
"It’s very likely."
"Alas, it now seems clear who possesses the Perceive Truth Dao Body."
"Yeah, without the Dao Body, how could one make Zhang Zu show his saintly presence?"
From then on, the theory of Lu Chenzhou’s Dao Body began to spread.
This is how Martial Arts rumors co about.
...
On the mountain path.
Lu Chenzhou halted.
A figure approached him, clad in a green robe, with hair tied up in a bun, eyes sparkling like the morning stars, an aura like a rainbow, seated as immovable as a mountain, moving like a dragon or a tiger, each step without gathering dust.
Lu Chenzhou had seen this person in the news.
He promptly greeted,
"Junior Lu Chenzhou, paying respects to Elder Cui Shan."
Daoist Cui Shan, one of the seven real individuals of Wudang, possessing Heavenly King Cultivation, headmaster of the academic institution.
He had not participated in the All Nations Martial Arts Competition, hence no ranking.
But undoubtedly, his power was no less impressive than Principal Li Jin.
Daoist Cui Shan smiled and said,
"Young friend, your wandering to Wudang this ti has been quite fruitful, hasn’t it?"
"Yes, thank you, senior, for granting passage."
"Wudang Mountain is Da Xia’s resource, what’s there to grant passage? I’ve co to ask you, did you realize any Cultivation thod within Hidden Immortal Rock?"
"I figured out a movent technique."
"May I boldly inquire, what kind of movent technique?"
"Cloud Ascending Ladder."
Daoist Cui Shan appeared unfazed.
"Cloud Ascending Ladder" sounds a lot like "Cloud Ladder Leap."
Cloud Ladder Leap was created by a disciple of Zhang Zu.
After being refined generation after generation by powerful Daoists, it beca a Divine Skill.
"Do you still rember the movent technique’s mnemonics or diagrams?"
"I do."
"Would you mind copying a version for ?"
"Of course."
Lu Chenzhou did not selfishly treasure his gains.
Zhang Zu was, after all, an ancestor of Wudang.
Sharing the benefits he received with Wudang was only appropriate.
Cui Shan raised his hand and two items floated in front of Lu Chenzhou.
One was a pair of Cloud Daoist Boots, shining with divine light.
The other was a token carved with Xuanwu, equally extraordinary.
Seeing Lu Chenzhou still in shock, Daoist Cui Shan smiled and said,
"Take them, consider it a gift from an elder. The last one who made Zhang Zu manifest was my senior brother Xuanwu Taoist. I suspect you also harbor a Taoist Body unwittingly..."
