Chapter 40: Shocking the Whole School: Genius or Lunatic?

"How did they join together?"

At this time,

Lu Xun discovered that the just-opened Immortal God Phoenix Meridian, under the twentyfold-return heat flow, actually merged with the previous Heaven Earth Meridian.

More precisely, they connected and gradually became the same meridian.

You should know, the Heaven Earth Meridian opened earlier was a Martial Meridian.

This time it is a Spirit Meridian.

Can a Martial Meridian and a Spirit Meridian still be merged?

【Heaven Earth Meridian is born from seizing the creation of heaven and earth; it is best to unite as one, otherwise it is easy to be targeted by heaven and earth.】

【Since the host possesses a Chaos Divine Body, the first Heaven Earth Meridian has the Chaos attribute, so merging will not cause conflict, nor affect the functions of the two Heaven Earth Meridians; instead, it will produce more miracles.】

The system's prompt let Lu Xun put aside his worries.

"In that case, we have to thank the first bound Murong Wan?"

Lu Xun felt relieved.

Murong Wan's Exquisite Treasure Body and Exquisite Meridian can inherently accommodate multiple types of energy.

Note, this is energy.

For example, Murong Wan can cultivate lightning-system techniques, also fire-system techniques, ice-system techniques, and so on.

All the pathways of martial arts are open to her.

Unlike the Scarlet Yang Meridian, which only achieves optimal effect when cultivating fire-system techniques, cultivating other systems yields half the result for double the effort.

But it must be the martial path; Murong Wan cannot walk the immortal path.

The Exquisite Treasure Body returned tenfold to Lu Xun, becoming a Chaos Divine Body and gaining an upgrade.

From accommodating multiple energies, it became accommodating multiple forces.

This allows Lu Xun to walk the martial path, also the immortal path, or other roads.

If his first bond was not Murong Wan, lacking a Chaos Divine Body would instead be somewhat troublesome.

Because there would be a problem of force compatibility.

At first it might be nothing, but once he becomes stronger, if this problem cannot be solved, it will be fatal.

Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation sounds wonderful, but is too difficult to practice.

Some immortal cultivators practicing martial arts are actually body tempering, belonging to the body cultivation within immortal cultivation, which is not the same concept as the martial path.

True Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation is opening both a Martial Meridian and a Spirit Meridian.

On the former Lan Xing, it's not that no one has tried.

There was a stunningly talented genius who opened a Martial Meridian, then forcibly opened a Spirit Meridian again.

The final result was that this genius, upon reaching the fourth realm, suffered severe injury due to power imbalance, making further progress basically impossible.

The Chaos Divine Body and Chaos Divine Meridian perfectly solved this problem.

"This is a double phenomenon!"

"Qingxu Academy has one, Beidou University also has one."

"Everyone, the Qingbei No-Fly Zone, please do not approach."

At this time, the cultivators arriving from heaven finally made a discovery.

This time the phenomenon is double.

Streams of light have already approached.

However, in Qingxu Academy and Beidou University, cultivators have risen into the air, blocking the incoming cultivators outside.

This makes it difficult for many cultivators to approach; they can only watch from afar outside.

"Surely it's Qingbei's... no chance."

People from other cultivation schools or forces originally wanted to come see if they could poach a wall, but upon seeing both were in Qingbei, they knew there was no chance.

"Here!"

"Look at his head."

At this time, several students discovered Lu Xun and exclaimed.

Lu Xun's head also showed a phenomenon, echoing the heavenly phenomenon from afar, which suffices to show that the heavenly phenomenon has Lu Xun's contribution.

"He seems to be Lu Xun."

"What, that Lu Xun who chose Fei Tai'a as his mentor?"

"Hasn't he already opened a Heaven Earth Meridian? Why cause another phenomenon?"

These several students were somewhat puzzled.

"Quiet."

At this time, a green-robed man descended from the sky, blocking those several students.

"It's him."

This green-robed man has been to the coffee shop and has seen Lu Xun.

"Principal Ning, Lu Xun hasn't he opened a Heaven Earth Meridian? Why cause another heavenly phenomenon?"

A student who knew the green-robed man asked quietly.

"If I'm not mistaken, he should have opened the Heaven Earth Meridian within the Spirit Meridian."

The green-robed man said in a deep voice.

"What, a Spirit Meridian!"

"Hiss!"

"Opened a Martial Meridian, can one still open a Spirit Meridian?"

"How could it be just that? No matter if it's the martial meridian or the spiritual meridian, he has opened the Heaven Earth Meridian—what kind of monster is he!"

"Principal Ning's words left several students utterly shocked."

"Even at Beidou, where geniuses gather, those who possess the Heaven Earth Meridian are ultimately only a small fraction of students."

"These few students, however, all lack the Heaven Earth Meridian."

"As it turns out, Lu Xun having opened the Heaven Earth Meridian on the martial path was enough, but he has now opened it again on the immortal path."

"Even in Beidou, where geniuses abound, it is exceedingly rare."

"Enough to make these geniuses feel incredulous."

"\"Lu Xun opened the spiritual meridian, and even opened the Heaven Earth Meridian?? \""

"\"Good heavens, is it real or fake—is he really that heaven-defying? \""

"\"If it's true, he's probably the most monstrous genius of our year's cohort! \""

"Soon, the news spread through these few students."

"It caused a tremendous stir among the student body of Beidou University."

"Vast numbers of students began to flock here, blocking off the area completely."

"On the campus network and student groups, it became extraordinarily lively."

"\"The situation is clear: the Twelve Luminaries Phenomenon was likely triggered by students of the Clear Void Academy, the Six Luminaries and Phoenix Bearing the Sun were drawn by Lu Xun, the Heaven Earth Meridian he opened should be quite good, but its scope is far smaller than that of the Clear Void Academy. \""

"Someone had gotten wind of the latest news."

"\"Even if the scope isn't great, Lu Xun opening two kinds of Heaven Earth Meridians is nothing short of astonishing talent. \""

"\"Indeed, I don't even have one Heaven Earth Meridian, yet he actually has two! \""

"\"I simply can't fathom why such a genius would choose Fei Tai'a! \""

"The students were shocked beyond belief, chattering incessantly."

"\"Damn it, how could he do that! \""

"This news left Lin Yan dazed."

"After being slapped in the face by Lu Xun with a shoe sole, Lin Yan spent these days studying hard and training rigorously, hoping to one day confront Lu Xun and avenge his prior humiliation."

"As it turned out, Lu Xun actually opened another Heaven Earth Meridian."

"It was the Heaven Earth Meridian of the immortal path."

"Are Heaven Earth Meridians free of charge? Just saying they open and they open."

"\"How could this be! \""

"In a cultivation chamber, He Xiao was also caught off guard by this news."

"He, who had been painstakingly training his body techniques, now had no mood whatsoever to continue practicing."

"\"What genius, he's practically a madman. \""

"At that moment, in a student group, a discordant voice appeared."

"\"It's Senior Xu Feng. \""

"\"Senior Xu Feng, what do you say? \""

"Upon seeing this news, He Xiao felt energized and hurried over to seek advice."

"The other party is a third-year student, whose strength and insight far surpass his."

"\"Immortal Martial Heaven Earth Meridians—this is to tread the path of Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation. Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation sounds awesome, but since Lan Xing set foot on the Ancient Starry Road, have you ever heard of anyone succeeding? \""

"Senior Xu Feng asked."

"\"It seems so. \""

"\"Indeed, I've never heard of anyone succeeding. \""

"\"There are some Immortal Cultivators whose bodies are extraordinarily strong, able to match Martial Cultivators purely with their physique, yet their techniques are also exceptionally formidable. \""

"\"That is Body-Law Dual Cultivation, both within the Immortal path, and differs from Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation. \""

"The others in the group began chatting back and forth."

"\"Senior Xu Feng, does Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation perhaps have hidden dangers? \""

"He Xiao, fearing they'd go off topic, hurriedly asked."

"\"Of course, these are two completely different power systems: the Immortal path emphasizes the primordial spirit, taking the primordial spirit as the base and spiritual force as the function; the Martial path emphasizes will, taking the body as the base and true qi as the function. \""

"\"If he pursues Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation, the hardest problem to resolve is the conflict of powers; perhaps it's manageable before the fifth realm, but once he breaks through the fifth realm, if this issue isn't settled well, it could cost him his life. \""

"\"The Heaven Earth Meridian seizes the workings of heaven and earth; for him to open two at once—does that mean the heavenly way doesn't exist? When he faces heavenly tribulation, his tribulation will be greater than others' by more than tenfold. \""

"\"One's energy is limited; cultivation is not easy; to take a single path to its utmost is already myriad difficulties. Dividing his attention between two is tantamount to setting up obstacles for himself—this greed for more, seeking completeness, I fear.... \""

"Senior Xu Feng spoke at length, detailing the various hidden dangers of Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation."

"\"Good grief, tenfold heavenly tribulation! If that's the case, he really is a lunatic. \""

"\"No, I still think he's a genuine genius. \""

"\"Genius and madman—sometimes they're not the same thing, right? \""

"Senior Xu Feng's words prompted the group members to start discussing."

"Some felt Lu Xun was a true genius, while others thought he was too crazy—this is playing with his own life."

"\"Then I can rest easy. \""

"He Xiao's heart finally settled a bit."

"The discussion in this group was soon spread abroad, sparking heated debate among the freshmen of Beidou University."
