Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 971 The Little Celestial Master's Divine Might, Invincible

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

Chen Yulou's words explained everything clearly and pointed directly to the key issues, breaking down a seemingly impossible and massive project into feasible steps.

Finally, he concluded with great enthusiasm: "In short, with the help of our Xieling lineage, this is by no means an insurmountable task. We do not need foreign machinery; relying solely on our millennia-old techniques and the strength of thousands of brothers, we will surely be able to dig an impregnable air-raid shelter within the mountains of Chongqing, for the Tiantong Steel Plant and for the people of Chongqing!"

Chen Yulou, as expected of a leader, delivered a highly inspiring speech that drew applause and cheers from the crowd.

"Holy crap... You can do this? Brother Chen, this isn't just a rake, it's like a pangolin reincarnated!" Fan Pengju shouted, slamming his fist on the table, his excitement overflowing.

"The methods of the Unloading Ridge are indeed well-deserved. They adapt to local conditions and simplify complex matters. I admire them!" Zhang Qishan exclaimed.

He admitted that he had underestimated the Unloading Warriors before. He had always thought they were a bunch of brutes who only knew how to destroy tombs with brute force, but he never expected that they would achieve such great things on a different track.

Zhang Zhiwei was also secretly surprised. His initial plan was for everyone to discuss the matter and then use his supernatural abilities as the core for construction.

For example, use earth dragons to dig tunnels, use earth river carts to break rocks and hollow out mountains, and use eight gates to move the broken rocks away.

In short, he solved the biggest problem, and then others refined it based on that.

However, he did not expect that Chen Yulou's plan was almost a self-contained system, and it seemed that the project could be completed independently by the Xieling faction alone.

"This foreign aid was a good choice..." Zhang Zhiwei laughed, "Chief Chen's arrangements are indeed thorough. However, since I invited you all here, how can I, as the instigator, stand idly by?"

"When Foreman Chen is making the plans, don't forget about me. Although I don't know much about engineering and construction, but..."

He pinched his index finger and thumb together, making a tiny gesture, and continued, "I have a little bit of skill in magic. If you encounter rock formations that are difficult to excavate, structures that are difficult to blast, or waste materials that even Buddha has difficulty transporting, you can leave them to me to handle!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. When Zhang Qishan had previously humbly claimed that his teleportation skills were "not worth mentioning and that it would depend on Zhang Zhiwei's magic," they had taken it as mere politeness. They never expected that the Little Celestial Master would actually intend to take action personally.

"I understand what the little Taoist master means..."

Chen Yulou pondered for a moment, then cautiously asked, "However, for the sake of overall planning, I would like to ask you, Little Celestial Master, what is the specific scale and power that your magic can achieve?"

He phrased it tactfully, but what he meant was that if you're weak, don't bother causing trouble.

"How powerful it is... that's hard to describe with words." Zhang Zhiwei thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I can demonstrate it for you all!"

Before doing anything, one must first boost morale. He planned to use his supernatural powers to give everyone a shot in the arm.

"Where is the Little Celestial Master going to demonstrate?!" Fan Pengju was so excited he almost jumped up.

Who in the world of supernatural beings doesn't know the Little Celestial Master's reputation? But very few have actually witnessed him in action.

Even he, the leader of the Gelaohui, had only seen it in the jade slip images sold in Jianghu Xiaozhan. It was the scene where Zhang Zhiwei opened the Tiantong Qimen and used the Super Eight Gates Transport to move the cannons of the Japanese pirate fleet back, instantly destroying the fleet.

It was after witnessing that scene that he was so amazed by Zhang Zhiwei's extraordinary talent that upon seeing him in person, he felt an urge to prostrate himself in worship.

Now that the young celestial master is going to personally take action in front of him, how could he not be excited?

Chen Yulou, Zhang Qishan, and all the other leaders of the Gelaohui held their breath, eager to witness this contemporary legend display his skills.

Zhang Qishan, on the other hand, remained quite calm. He had already witnessed Zhang Zhiwei's invincible power when Zhang Zhiwei went to western Hunan to destroy the Medicine Immortal Society.

"Little Celestial Master, there's a small hill behind the guild hall. It's spacious and sparsely populated, perfect for unleashing your supernatural powers!" Fan Pengju jumped up and down excitedly.

Zhang Zhiwei waved his hand: "There's no need for that, we can just stay here!"

He got up and walked to the window in the lobby, a spot from which he could see the hills not far away.

The Gelaohui Hall was built on the top of a mountain. Most of the mountaintop was leveled to build a neighborhood, but it wasn't completely leveled; part of it remained, which is the hill behind the Gelaohui Hall.

Seeing Zhang Zhiwei looking at the hills behind him, Fan Pengju explained, "Little Celestial Master, Chongqing is not like Chengdu. It's all mountains, with very little flat land. This area has better terrain, so we'll use explosives to blast it flat and then build houses here."

"In the end, that hill was just a bunch of hard rocks that couldn't be blasted apart. It wasn't worth the effort, so we didn't bother with it. If you're not going there, you can use it to practice your skills!"

He felt that Zhang Zhiwei could do whatever he wanted in this place, which even a bomb couldn't penetrate.

Zhang Zhiwei looked at the back mountain and smiled: "It really is perfect!"

"Then let's hurry over there!" Fan Pengju said.

“No need, this is fine!” Zhang Zhiwei said.

Just as everyone was wondering how he could do this from a distance, a deep blue light suddenly burst forth from Zhang Zhiwei's eyes!
Immediately afterwards, an invisible yet vast and heavy pressure, as immense as the sea and as heavy as a mountain, enveloped the entire hall.

The previously noisy and lively atmosphere froze instantly! All sounds stopped abruptly, and everyone felt as if a huge rock was pressing on their chests, making it difficult to breathe.

Even the few fierce Sichuan hunting dogs kept in the courtyard were now like natural enemies, lying prostrate on the ground, trembling and whimpering in fear.

The others didn't understand what was happening; they only felt as if something majestic and terrifying had descended upon them.

Chen Yulou was the first to react. He was born with divine eyes and ears, which allowed him to see things that ordinary people could not see and hear things that ordinary people could not hear.

He saw that, centered on the young celestial master, an enormous, intricate, and exquisite compass pattern suddenly unfolded.

The pattern was so vast that it covered almost the entire area. Inside were the Bagua and Heavenly Stems rotating clockwise, and outside were the Earthly Branches and Twenty-Four Solar Terms rotating counterclockwise. The profound power surged and flowed, incredibly complex, making him dizzy after just one glance.

"This is a Qimen Dunjia formation!" As soon as the thought came to mind, Chen Yulou took a deep breath. He had never heard of such a large Qimen Dunjia formation before.

Is this the legendary, supreme technique of the sorcerer, Tian Tong Qi Men? What is the little celestial master trying to do by unfolding such a grand Qi Men formation?
At that moment, his "divine ears" heard some extremely faint sounds from afar. He looked in the direction of the sound and, with his exceptional eyesight, discovered some extremely subtle changes on the hill behind him. He saw that on the solid hill, fine dust began to tremble inexplicably, as if an engine was vibrating inside the mountain, and the vibrations were becoming more and more intense, with the dust particles jumping higher and higher.

Soon, not only the dust, but even the gravel began to tremble.

"What is this?!" Recalling what the little celestial master had said earlier about encountering any problems that were difficult to blast, he could ask him for help. An absurd yet astonishing thought entered Chen Yulou's mind: Could it be that the little celestial master wanted to... completely destroy this hill from a distance?
Although it's just a hill, not as big as the mountain below, it's still tens of meters high—a colossal thing! How could human beings possibly destroy it?!

Just as I was thinking that, the next instant, a dull rumble filled my ears, followed by the earth shaking.

The people inside the hall could even feel the floor tiles under their feet shaking.

"What's going on? Has the earth dragon turned over?!"

"Damn it, Chongqing earthquake! I've lived for decades and never experienced anything like it."

The members of the Gelaohui had never encountered such a situation before and were somewhat at a loss, but then someone pointed to the back mountain and exclaimed:

"It's not an earthquake, it's a mountain."

"Holy crap, the hill behind us is flying up!"

"what?"

Everyone looked on in horror, only to see the huge hill slowly rising from the ground amidst a deafening roar!

As it took off, large swaths of soil rolled off the outer edge of the mountain, revealing the dark blue-green rocks inside.

These rocks are extremely hard, even explosives cannot destroy them, which is why development was temporarily halted. But now, those hard rocks are twisting and writhing, as if they were alive.

"No, look! Don't those rocks look like a monster?" someone shouted.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou was startled. He had good eyesight, but he had been too focused on the details. Now that he had focused his attention, he could see clearly that the hillside was covered with what looked like countless dark blue-green "giant pythons".

This scene left everyone dumbfounded, unable to utter a sound, simply watching as those "giant pythons" tightly coiled and constricted the entire mountain, forcibly lifting it off the ground!

The shapes of those "giant pythons" became clearer and clearer. They tightened their bodies, raised their heads and hissed. Although they only moved and did not make any sound, they still frightened everyone so much that their legs trembled and their faces turned pale.

But the horrifying scene didn't last long. After the hill had moved back a sufficient distance, it collapsed and disintegrated under the "giant python's" coils, unleashing a massive rain of rubble that crashed to the ground with a continuous roar.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the previously unsightly, hard hill had completely vanished, replaced by a barren expanse of ground.

Everyone looked at the empty back of the hall, the place that even the captain couldn't flatten with a lot of explosives, and it was gone just like that.

They weren't stupid. The little Taoist master had just said he wanted to demonstrate, and this scene happened. Clearly, this was exactly what the little Taoist master wanted to demonstrate.

This is just too outrageous! The entire hall was deathly silent. Everyone was so shocked by this scene, which was comparable to the power of heaven and earth, that they were completely stunned and could not recover for a long time.

Zhang Zhiwei slowly calmed his aura, the blue light in his eyes disappeared, and he took a long breath to compose himself.

He ignored the gasps of surprise from those around him; he had heard them far too many times before. He looked behind him.

After he broke down that hill with his earth-shattering cart, there was another, even higher mountain ahead, and they were now at the foot of that mountain.

This is the unique topography of Chongqing. You think you are on the top floor, but you are actually on the bottom floor; you think you are on the bottom floor, but you are actually on the top floor.

The city of Chongqing at that time was far from being as prosperous as it would be in later years, but it was already beginning to show signs of becoming like a cyberpunk city.

Zhang Zhiwei looked at the dumbfounded Chen Yulou and said in a calm tone, "Chief Chen, look at this little bit of power, it might be of some help during construction?"

"Yes, that's incredible! This is more than just a little help; it's... a decisive force!"

Chen Yulou said excitedly, "Although I spoke lightly before, that was just a hypothetical situation. In actual construction, we will inevitably encounter unimaginable difficulties and obstacles. But with the Little Celestial Master's supernatural powers here, any difficulty will be a smooth road. I, Chen Yulou, hereby pledge that this project will definitely be completed successfully!"

Zhang Zhiwei nodded in satisfaction: "I'm relieved to hear what Chief Chen has to say."

Having said that, he sat back down in the main seat, turned his gaze to Zhang Qishan, and said, "Master, the general details of this project have been finalized, but I have a favor to ask of you!"

"Please speak, Little Celestial Master!" Zhang Qishan said.

Zhang Zhiwei said, "I want to relocate the steel plant to the mountains. As Foreman Chen mentioned before, the steel plant will emit a huge amount of heat, so we need to ensure proper ventilation and heat reduction. But I have an idea: could we use the water from mountain waterfalls or underground rivers to cool the furnaces?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qishan was taken aback. This idea was a bit too far-fetched, but since Zhang Zhiwei said so, there must be a reason for it, so he did not refute it.

In fact, Zhang Zhiwei's idea was inspired by later generations. Some large companies in later generations had done the same thing. For example, Microsoft put its servers in the dark, while Huawei built its servers in the mountains and used underground rivers for cooling. He wanted to imitate that.

Zhang Zhiwei said, "I will have the engineers arrange the specific details. What you need to do is find a suitable underground river inside the mountain."

Zhang Qishan nodded and said, "Although I don't understand factory matters, I am from the Faqiu lineage and am skilled in observing mountains and discerning qi, finding dragon veins and locating acupoints. Exploring the earth's veins and watercourses is my forte. Finding a suitable underground river in the mountains is by no means difficult. Leave this to me."

“Good! Excellent!” Zhang Zhiwei’s gaze swept over everyone: “If that’s the case, then it’s settled. Chen Yulou will oversee the entire project, and all matters related to opening up mountains and unloading ridges will be led by the Changsheng Mountain brothers.”

"Master Zhang assisted from the side, taking charge of exploring the earth's veins and finding underground rivers, and using the Mountain Moving Technique to help."

"Fan Peng is at the helm, coordinating the manpower and resources of Chongqing, coordinating relations with the local people, handling any potential disputes, and maintaining security around the construction site to prevent sabotage and ensure the project is not disrupted. Everyone, is there anything else?"

"We obey the Little Celestial Master's command!" everyone responded in unison, the atmosphere solemn yet enthusiastic. (End of Chapter)
