Chapter 1081: Chapter 678: Monumental Opportunity, Cosmic Struggles, From Tank to DPS—Overlord Review! (Part 2)
"Thank you, envoy! Come, come, taste this old Taoist’s tea leaves, it takes ten years to grow one branch..."
...
Snow fell heavily upon Shaoshi Mountain.
"Pangu Shrine??"
Meng Chuan took the opportunity to visit Senior Brother Xuanmu, who was understanding and obtained permission for the transformation in North Julu Continent.
Just as he happily returned to cultivate, he received a long message from Principal Sui.
After a long time, Meng Chuan finished reading all of it, his expression thoughtful.
"The origin of the fist mark in my sea of consciousness is actually so immense, Pangu the Great’s palace..."
Humanity’s ancient legendary existence since its inception turns out to be real.
Thinking about star spirits like the Black Tortoise, Meng Chuan nodded quietly.
All worldly rumors and stories are not without basis.
Introspection in the sea of consciousness.
Looking at the fist seal, which remained as it was, he pondered:
"This mark is called the [Pangu Order]. With this, one can receive the guidance of the Pangu Shrine to cultivate and train.
I can’t feel it now because Shanghao’s projection has sealed the Blue Star, and the guiding power cannot enter..."
In this regard, Principal Sui also expressed his regret.
However...
Meng Chuan himself was not regretful, as he seemed to be able to go...
Upon Breaking Four, when the body undergoes a Gang Transformation, it can resist the eroding power of dimensions.
At that time, using the [Transcendence] trait to ’shed the golden cicada skin’ would mean leaving Blue Star...
Shanghao’s projection cannot govern the entire universe, so finding a place casually would allow him to use the Pangu Order to go to the Pangu Shrine.
But there’s a problem.
He has no idea about the situation of the Pangu Shrine or if it’s dangerous there, etc.
Principal Sui only mentioned that besides the genius of the Way of the Flesh from the Dao Realm gathering there, people from the cosmos who master the corresponding physical type laws also exist there.
Top resources need to be ’fought for,’ and there’s no doubt the training involves robbing and killing!
What level of cultivation do the trainers of the Pangu Shrine possess, and is there any entry restriction in terms of boundary?
The envoy from the Dragon Realm didn’t say; they only mentioned casting a wide net for those with fitting talent.
Once gone to the Pangu Shrine, if one wants to leave, can they return?
What exactly does the training entail, what about the contest mode, and how does one obtain rewards?
These kinds of things, since Saint Xun thought he had no chance to go, he didn’t ask for him.
Meng Chuan returned to his little courtyard, sitting cross-legged, preparing to step into the Red Refining Banner for cultivation.
He pondered in his heart:
"Connecting to the Dao Realm network still requires time.
Principal Sui said there would be a chance to meet the envoy from the Dragon Realm after the competition ends. Then, I can inquire in detail, understand clearly before deciding whether to go.
No matter how many benefits the Pangu Shrine offers, having one’s life to enjoy them is the most crucial precondition.
Unless the gain is substantial and the risk is within an acceptable range, Meng Chuan would only be willing to take some small risks.
Currently, the world doesn’t seem very safe either.
More and more powerful Celestial Demons are escaping the dimensional constraints of the Demon Nest and wandering freely, lurking among humans.
Moreover, he has almost provoked all the ’forces of evil’ on Blue Star...
Added to that, the original owner of the Red Refining Banner in his hands is someone he cannot afford to provoke...
Escaping into the cosmos to ’seek peace’ seems to be a decent option...
To grow rapidly is inherently accompanied by risks.
Though he wishes to develop steadily, yet...
The demonic menace grows graver, and the world becomes more perilous.
Time waits for no one...
Breaking Four is expected to occur within the next year, so plans should be made early.
...
Stepping into the Red Refining Banner, Meng Chuan’s powerful physique sat like a crouching tiger.
With introspection on his form, nearly 120 star veins solidified completely.
A slight trigger of the mind, the sound of Qi Blood flowing echoed like a mighty river, gently trickling.
"Just seventy-nine more, keep going..."
Experiencing a breakthrough in [Muscle-Tendon Cleaning], his bone structure advanced even further towards perfection.
Meanwhile, more traits associated with comprehension added to his form, making his fist practice more efficient, with proficiency rapidly increasing and Qi Blood surging.
The speed of his fist skill cultivation grew faster, continuously accumulating traits that fed back into his cultivation, achieving a positive feedback loop.
Through the ’cheat’ practice of the Dao Heart Seed Demon via the Red Refining Banner combined with fist skill cultivation, the speed of his Qi Blood cultivation escalated...
Meng Chuan wondered:
"That said, after I killed the avatar of that Demon Mountain, why didn’t the Purgatory react?"
Maybe, residing in the mountains for long, Purgatory couldn’t find him?
Meng Chuan wouldn’t assume that the true owner of the Red Refining Banner disregarded him as a mere ’fart.’
A tenth-tier pinnacle powerhouse, the Purgatory Divine Master.
With the more cosmic knowledge he acquired, the more he understood the weight of the other party’s title...
"Thinking too much is pointless, getting stronger sooner is of utmost importance..."
...
A decade passed in a flash, and it was now December.
Snow covered Shaoshi Mountain, the temperature plunging to tens of degrees below zero, with novice monks who hadn’t broken through the Martial Arts Family wrapped in heavy robes.
Immersed in cultivation, Meng Chuan even forgot about the higher education exam.
But it was no matter, as Chen Qiushui silently helped him apply for an extension.
Making others worry about his own affairs, Meng Chuan felt rather embarrassed...
The Dharma Realm of North Julu Continent.
Meng Chuan, bare-chested, emitted earth-shattering explosions all around his body.
Vast and boundless, the golden-white sun above his head swelled once more, with dense white mist like milk dispersing, nearly shrouding the entire Little Sumeru Mountain...
Looking at the panel:
[Prajna Dragon Elephant Skill: Second Layer (99%) → Third Layer (1%)]
"Well, this is great!"
With strength so abundant, Meng Chuan felt like he could shatter the Little Sumeru Mountain beneath his feet with just one punch...
Of course, that was just an illusion brought about by extreme power expansion.
Though the Little Sumeru Mountain is just a solitary peak and not an overlapping range of peaks.
Yet, if he wanted to punch the mountain to shatter, disintegrating without a trace, it would still require a billion tons of impact force to even attempt.
