Chapter 1414: Chapter 776: Shaping Beyond the Stars, Celestial Beings at War! (Part 2)

The process of integration is "absorbing and blending, and creating anew".

Elephant Form was just beginning; if he acted rashly by solely relying on superior martial principles, even if he succeeded, it would still be a "mishmash".

Moreover, Meng Chuan was a hands-on type; after entering the Elephant Form Pile Skill yesterday, he immediately started practicing several Elephant Form Fist Skills.

That day, through Yang Huan’s promise, the Human Alliance system opened the martial arts gate for him.

Whether modern or ancient martial arts, all martial arts in the world were available for him to acquire, including the secret techniques of sects passed down for millennia.

Even if certain martial arts had no recorded practice methods, as long as he had the need, the nation had the resources and means to acquire them...

However, Meng Chuan was not greedy; he did not intend to take everything, just choosing a few representative fist skills of the Elephant Form Sect to practice first.

These were ordinary-level Tiger Form Boxing techniques, which allowed for simultaneous practice of pile skills and fist skills, thereby saving time.

The Limit-Breaking Traits were also related to the tiger, such as [Tiger Might][Tiger Hair][Tiger Bone], which seemed related to power, momentum, and defense, and all sounded quite good.

As for other Elephant Form Fists, Meng Chuan’s plan was as follows.

At the [Tiger Squat] level, pile skill basics were fundamental, focusing on heaviness, squatting, collapsing mountains, and heavy, ferocious beast forms.

Thus, he currently focused on Tiger Form, along with supplementary practice of the forms of other fierce terrestrial beasts like apes, elephants, wolves, and leopards.

Once the Elephant Form Pile Skill advanced to [Dragon Coil], his practice would involve movements leaning towards coiling, circling, turning, and agile maneuvers, soft within the hard.

By that time, he would focus on Dragon Form, supplemented by the forms of snake, shark, whale, and turtle.

The ultimate goal remained to create the True Martial Divine Skill.

Similar to his meticulous research in past Xingyi practice, the subsequent plan would be further discussed; presently, skill creation was the primary task.

Meng Chuan realized that the Elephant Form system was vast and varied, significantly more complex than Xingyi.

But if one were to categorize and organize the different systems, it would become much clearer.

They essentially consisted of five main categories: birds, beasts, shells, scales, and fur.

The first three categories were widely practiced, and among them were the most popular systems of the Elephant Form Sect that produced the most Celestial Kings and Great Saints.

The fourth category, scale type, was only practiced by humans in the "flood-dragon form"; forms like pangolin or carp were considered "jokes," as there was no corresponding Beast King Map, making them impossible to practice...

As for the last [Fur] category, meaning "those without fur covering skin," humans did not practice it at all.

This concept was only established as the fifth major category of the Elephant Form Sect when information from the Dao Realm was introduced to Blue Star.

Why so?

It is acknowledged by the cosmos as the [Fur] type among the "Five Forms of Living Beings," referring to cosmic beings covered only with skin, without scales, feathers, or armor, or long hair.

Among the [Fur] type, of course, humans are included...

Thus, if human martial arts were viewed in broader terms, it too is a native cultivation method created by fur-type beings.

Since learning about the theory of the Five Forms of Living Beings in the cosmos, Meng Chuan formulated a rough plan.

Since Xingyi’s five elements each have corresponding core characteristics of [Five Qi Chaoyuan], then these Elephant Form’s five forms...

They hold great potential!

This isn’t something to be rushed; the Xingyi Five Qi are governed by the [Five Qi Chaoyang] due to him benefiting from King Xiang, who helped integrate the five elements and realize the [Five Elements Qiankun], making it a natural success.

But the Elephant Form’s five forms aren’t like this, with each system practicing individually, and among the aforementioned five forms, far too many are unpracticed or can’t be "represented" due to the lack of a Beast King Map.

Without predecessors to guide the way, Meng Chuan could only forge his path.

To collect cosmic cultivation methods unavailable on earth, transform them into martial arts, and fill the gaps.

Ultimately creating a skill that governs the five forms.

This doesn’t conflict with pioneering the True Martial path; the current Elephant Form systems among humans are enough for him to create the True Martial.

In the future, applying the five forms would be more like adding the finishing touch and could also help push the True Martial path further forward.

After all, seeing the "Dao" with True Martial is just the beginning; achieving Dao is his ultimate goal!

In the cosmos, Tier 10 is referred to as a [Cosmic Legend], Tier 11 is respectfully called [Supreme] in the Dao Realm, and feared as [Demon God] across the cosmos.

If one were to attain Dao through martial arts!

"Martial Arts Supreme!"

A surge of hot blood rushed to his heart, Meng Chuan sprang up from the ground, pacing several laps around the room before calming down to continue practicing.

The time for daydreaming was over...

"The path ahead is clear, creating Martial Arts Divine Skill to pioneer the [Path of Martial Arts], continually surpassing limits, until reaching that supreme pinnacle..."

Maintain composure, and continue practicing!

...

Time quickly passed to the end of October.

During this month, the small six-story research institute was bustling.

It had not only become a holy ground for United University students but also saw three extraordinary talents from other schools attending an over-a-month-long "summer class" here...

On the "forbidden" sixth floor, there were no signs of life, only Meng Chuan’s unique vital energy lingering.

The Red Refining Banner.

Under the dim red celestial phenomenon, Meng Chuan used his Limit-Breaking-strengthened Heart Intent Power to constantly touch the "boundary of reality" within the banner, distantly sensing the hidden layers within the Red Refining Banner.

This was reminiscent of when he was first "taken" inside by Fang Jianxing, falling into a boiler-room-like hidden layer filled with peculiar magma.

The magma was extremely unusual, or rather, Meng Chuan now believed it wasn’t magma at all.

What magma could contain such colossal, nearly inexhaustible cosmic energy?

With a sweep of his Heart Intent, he fought hard to clear the stubborn currents.

Meng Chuan retracted his perception, pondering:

"The magma contains a large amount of solid materials, like some kind of red ore slag..."

After pondering for a while, Meng Chuan shook his head silently.

He didn’t understand; it might be some kind of cosmic treasure, better to just enjoy it fully.
