Turbid World: Martial Arts Master of the Republic of China Era, I Cultivate Immortality!

"OK."

"The donation money for today has been counted, and I've placed it on the offering table..."

Master Tianyi pointed to the offering table and added, then walked out of the main hall without waiting for Xiang Yu to finish wiping the table.

"Um."

Zhao Zheng nodded, walked to Xiang Yu's side, and took out a silver note with a face value of one hundred silver dollars from a stack of silver notes and handed it over.

"Senior brother, here you go."

"Then I'll just... cough cough, junior brother, what kind of person do you take your senior brother for!" Xiang Yu chuckled as he stretched out his hand, then quickly withdrew it with a stern expression, speaking with a serious face.

"...Yes, Junior Brother was wrong!"

Zhao Zheng glanced at the gazes coming from outside the main hall out of the corner of his eye, his lips twitched as he said something, and then began to count the incense money for the day.

Looking at the incense money that amounted to more than a month's worth in the past, Zhao Zheng's expression remained unchanged. After a while, he turned to look at Xiang Yu, who had come to his side and was rubbing his hands together with a smile.

"Hehe, junior brother, just now senior brother..."

"Take it yourself."

Zhao Zheng pushed aside the silver notes he had placed together on the table, and Xiang Yu smiled and whispered, "Junior brother, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Xiang Yu reached out his large hand and grabbed a... a silver note worth ten silver dollars, quickly stuffing it into his pocket while yawning.

"Junior brother, I'm done cleaning, I'm going to bed!"

"Go."

Zhao Zheng smiled and nodded at Xiang Yu, who took ten silver notes instead of a hundred silver notes. After counting the notes, he kept a small portion and put most of them into a hidden compartment in the wall.

"It's almost midnight..."

Upon arriving at the courtyard, Zhao Zheng glanced at the night sky and began to wash up. After washing up, he changed into a dark blue Taoist robe and went to the main hall, where he sat on a futon to cultivate the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture.

Time flies,

Before we knew it, it was midnight!

That is, the first day of the eighth lunar month.

"Here comes the picture!"

Zhao Zheng opened his eyes and looked at the clock on the corner wall. He said something to himself, and as soon as he finished speaking, a dark red light suddenly appeared before his eyes.

A portrait of all aspects of life has emerged!

A Portrait of Life

[Photo by: Zhao Zheng]

Age: 18

[Sect: Maoshan Seventy-Two Temples - Zuowang Temple]

[Talents: discerning eyes, selflessness, and a love for the cruel]

Realm: Refining Essence into Qi (Early Stage)

[Effect: Taiyin Changming Guanxin Method (Completed)...]

[Dharma: Golden Light Mantra (Minor Success)]

Skill Points: 1

"Very good, now I can confirm that the skill points for the 'Life's Many Faces' skill set will automatically refresh by one point at the beginning of each month..."

Zhao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, putting aside his long-standing worries. His gaze fell on the faint plus sign following the Taiyin Changming Guan Mental Cultivation Method at its perfect state.

"Are there realms beyond perfection?"

Zhao Zheng was puzzled. According to what his master had told him before his death, any cultivation method should only have four stages, namely, entry, minor success, major success and perfection.

"Can skill points break the limits of a cultivation technique?"

Zhao Zheng guessed in his heart, and after thinking about it, he decided to click and see if the skill points could break through the limits of the cultivation technique.

Furthermore, he can't do anything else; the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture requires two skill points from beginner to mastery.

Although reaching the perfect state of the Golden Light Divine Mantra only requires one skill point, he felt that acquiring the Changming Guanyin Heart Sutra would bring him unexpected benefits.

He trusted his intuition!

"Come on, let me see my limits!"

With a thought, Zhao Zheng looked at the plus sign after the Changming Temple mental cultivation method, and the "perfect" sign in the parentheses disappeared instantly.

Instead, a dark red light slowly condensed, and at the same time, memories of his cultivation of the Changming Guanyin technique began to appear in his mind.

During a rare phenomenon where the sun and moon appeared in the same sky, he broke through to the perfect state of the Changming Guanyin Mind Method, successfully breaking the shackles and pushing the Changming Guanyin Mind Method to a new realm that was unprecedented and unparalleled.

He named this new realm—Breaking Limits!

Breaking the limits!

As the memories resurfaced, various insights into the Limitless Realm Everlasting Insight Meditation Technique kept appearing in Zhao Zheng's mind.

Breaking through to the Perfect Realm was as simple as eating and drinking, taking only a breath. As the starlight representing the sun and moon fell from the night sky, it was drawn to Zhao Zheng and absorbed by him.

He heard a crisp cracking sound, a sound that only he could hear, a sound that signified a breakthrough in cultivation.

At the same moment after the invisible, crisp sound, the silvery-white color that had appeared in Zhao Zheng's eyes due to the automatic operation of the Changming Guanyin technique disappeared automatically.

Then, the vanished silvery-white light reappeared, but this time, it no longer blinded him.

The reappearing silver-white color only covered his right eye; in his left eye, a faint golden hue slowly emerged, spreading and intensifying over time.

As the gold of the black pupil in the left eye completely covered the entire eyeball, the silver-white of the right eye also covered the entire eye.

As his pupils were covered by the two colors of gold and silver, representing the sun and moon, Zhao Zheng discovered that the magical power within his body seemed to come alive.

The magical power within him was divided into two parts, the Chu River and Han Border, along the central line of the Ren and Du meridians in his body, with the left side being Yang and the right side being Yin, and began to circulate.

The alternating hot and cold magical power circulated rapidly through his meridians, causing Zhao Zheng's skin to appear red and white.

However, this state did not last long, only a few breaths, before the yin and yang magical powers converged in his dantian, the place where his magical power resided.

"Tai Chi... diagram?"

Zhao Zheng looked in astonishment at the tai chi diagram formed by the convergence of yin and yang magical power within his dantian, which was composed of gold and silver.

You are in me, and I am in you, but the two are still clearly distinct, like the Tai Chi diagram, and the ever-moving power of the Tai Chi diagram.

"My magical power... seems to have gained an inexhaustible characteristic... and an automatic cultivation characteristic, because of the Tai Chi diagram I constructed!"

Zhao Zheng carefully considered his current state and then looked at the panel displaying the various aspects of life.

【Sun and Moon - Everlasting Observation Method (Breaking Limits)】

[Introduction: The state of extreme activity and stillness in the elderly is called Taiyang and Taiyin. The state of initial activity and stillness in the young is called Shaoyin and Shaoyang...]

"Um?"

Zhao Zheng was surprised again. He wasn't surprised by the Sun and Moon version of the Everlasting Brightness Meditation Method, but by the suddenly blurred panel showing the myriad aspects of life.

He only saw the image of the myriad aspects of life blur for a moment, and then as the dark red light re-coalesced and intertwined, a new line of text appeared on the panel.

A Portrait of Life

Age: 18

[Sect: Maoshan Seventy-Two Temples - Zuowang Temple]

[Constitution: Innate Yin-Yang Dao Body (1%)]

[Talents: discerning eyes, selflessness, and a love for the cruel]

Realm: Refining Essence into Qi (Early Stage)

[Skill: Sun and Moon Everlasting Observation Method (Breaking Limits)...]

[Dharma: Golden Light Mantra (Minor Success)]

Skill Points: 0

"???"

This technique can also condense an innate Yin-Yang Dao body.

Zhao Zheng was puzzled. Although he had never heard of the Yin-Yang Dao Body, his master had mentioned the Innate Dao Body, the Innate Thunder Spirit Dao Body, and the Innate Water Spirit Dao Body, among others.

Without exception, those who possess these Dao bodies have extraordinary talent and comprehension, whether in cultivation or other aspects.

Feeling that this innate Yin-Yang Dao Body should be similar to those he knew, Zhao Zheng began to browse the Limitless Version of the Changming Guan Mind Method in his mind.

"It must be because the upgraded version of the Changming Guan Mental Cultivation Method, which utilizes the radiance of the sun and moon for cultivation, that the innate Yin-Yang Dao Body was formed..."

After browsing through it, Zhao Zheng thought to himself, "Although the limited version of the Changming Temple Heart Method does not mention the ability to condense the innate Yin-Yang Dao Body Holy Embryo..."

However, now that he can cultivate with the help of the sun, moon, and stars, it doesn't seem like a big deal for him to condense the innate Yin-Yang Dao Body Holy Embryo.

Although this innate Yin-Yang Dao Body was somewhat unexpected, Zhao Zheng felt that it was still normal overall.

“Eh…”
