Chapter 1264: Chapter 730: Cultivating the Mind to Overcome Calamity, Heavenly Master Steps on Clouds to Explore the Profound Mysteries

Whoo~

The wind howled, blowing apart the clouds, and bringing a light rain.

"Tomorrow, this youngster has to face Chen Zhiming in a match to fight for the position to advance as group leader. As a monk, I have some experience that I could share with him..."

The voice, neither too loud nor too soft, echoed in War Chamber 0002.

It’s certain that Meng Chuan watched their match together, but as someone not competing with Chen Zhiming, his understanding of this battle is much deeper.

Guiding the opponent is just a slight cause and effect.

It’s not about forming good karma, but a correction for the bad consequences of one’s own actions.

What’s the meaning?

From instigating trouble at the Shaolin Temple to being defeated again by the opponent the day before, there are multiple possibilities in this back and forth.

In the end, the bad consequence is a result of repeated failures, and it’s all a negative retribution that serves no benefit to oneself!

At the very beginning, if he had seized the fortune of Iron Body... If he had suppressed Meng Chuan the day before.

That would have been an act benefitting himself, good actions leading to good recompense, leading to positive outcomes that could cultivate karma!

"I have to start rectifying from the beginning!"

Liao Huo’s expression was slightly bitter, but his gaze remained resolute.

How to proceed?

From today on, he must believe from the bottom of his heart that he is merely a stepping stone for the opponent, allowing him to rise up by stepping on him.

The two encounters were not a battle between dragons and tigers, but an effort to form beneficial connections with oneself, aiding Meng Chuan’s better growth, seeking his future return!

In layman’s terms, Liao Huo needs to change the relationship of this karmic intersection from a motivational standpoint!

However, this is not without risk. If he forces himself to change his mindset, the bad outcome simply disappears, that would be too idealistic.

Karma is mutual, and cannot be changed simply by his assertion.

If Meng Chuan is a "petty person", seeing him bow and scrape would make him smug and affected.

Then it’s over...

Such behavior by the opponent would be even more detrimental to himself, signaling an intensification of negative retribution, with the bad outcome soon manifesting upon him...

Liao Huo raised his head, his tone firm and profound:

"To do nothing is to wait for death. Even if Meng Chuan also does nothing, the interpersonal relationships surrounding him will continually exert invisible pressure on me, escalating the retribution, the bad outcome will eventually mature...

I have no choice but to gamble, to bet that Meng Chuan can understand my regard, to bet that his character retains the dignity and broad-mindedness of a Martial Artist..."

Liao Huo was quite helpless, but this is the difficult path of practicing the way of karma.

One wrong step, and you have to do many things you know you shouldn’t, even forcibly changing your own thoughts at times.

Those who are unfeeling act only in their own interest, doing only things beneficial to themselves. This is his current understanding of the "way of karma".

But when it comes to practicing divine skills in ’Dao’, once entered, each person has their own path.

Others practicing the methods of karma may differ greatly from him, who knows...

"Sigh..."

Liao Huo shook his head, stood up, and walked towards the door.

His hand reached for the door handle, ready to form good karma, but again hesitated.

Such behavior felt somewhat shameless to him...

After all, he was the youngest and most outstanding Martial Arts Grandmaster of Shaolin...

On this trip, he first needed to mentally prepare himself and persuade himself.

Liao Huo’s eyes darkened for a moment, then he suddenly saw the light.

"He’s a disciple of Senior Brother Ding Guang, half a Shaolin Disciple, so the monk and he share a ’fellow disciple relationship’. Joining forces to deal with Chen Zhiming... is only natural!"

Not only his body but his skin is also like dragon skin, thick indeed...

"By offering guidance and helping Meng Chuan surpass Chen Zhiming, this monk also earns merit. As long as he appreciates it, not only can it reverse the bad consequences, but also dissolve the budding trend of the bad outcome from losing to Chen Zhiming; it’s a win-win, wonderful, wonderful..."

Sure enough, when one’s thinking changes, all roads lead to Rome!

Liao Huo the Grandmaster smiled knowingly and swiftly opened the door.

...

War Chamber 0006.

The clear screen was replaying the commentary of Wudang’s Wang Chongyi’s second battle against Seviss Long.

As expected, Wang lost again, but Meng Chuan could see that Wang Chongyi had improved significantly compared to last time.

But the gap in strength was too vast, making it futile.

After transforming into a dragon, Seviss delivered blow after blow, enveloping Wang Chongyi.

As the fight progressed, the speed continually increased, as if first testing and then getting serious, culminating in the sixth strike. Despite Wang’s Grandmaster Level reaction abilities, he barely had time to position his spear before the shadow of the claw pierced easily through his chest...

"Intelligent Brain, replay automatically."

Meng Chuan’s expression was serious as he watched it again.

Even through the screen, he felt the oppressive force from Seviss, as if he were there in person.

"Such explosiveness and speed surpassed Wang Chongyi’s reflex arc; there wasn’t even time to defend, let alone block!

This is something I can’t achieve with even my three forms fully activated. What kind of monster is this dragon..."

It’s not that I look down on Stan Country, but no matter how you think about it, Seviss Long doesn’t seem like a genius that a small country could cultivate.

The key point is that innate superiority he exuded on the competition stage...

Every time Seviss Long transforms into a giant dragon, his power skyrockets, coupled with that arrogant expression...

Meng Chuan looked thoughtful, his gaze deep.

It seems he understood the true origin of the opponent.

Could it be... a True Dragon?

An alien dragon from the Dragon Realm?

Thinking of it this way, many things made sense.

Recalling the oppressive presence he demonstrated on the stage, Meng Chuan became increasingly convinced of this idea.

"Didn’t expect the organizers to be so playful, even arranging an alien in the World Youth Championship..."

Can I defeat this dragon?

Meng Chuan murmured to himself, comparing the opponent’s strength, and felt like he hadn’t even exerted himself yet...

Settling his thoughts, Meng Chuan felt relieved.

It’s enough to try my best.

His progress is accelerating. Even if he can’t beat the opponent this time, there’s always a chance to meet under the starry sky and face him again in the future.
