Jidao Wusheng: I am invincible in my flesh and tear the weirdness apart with my bare hands

"When was the last time you came?" Wan Renshan asked in confusion.

Zhang Lingshan said, "It's only been a few months."

"A few months?!"

Wan Renshan looked surprised and doubtful: "But I remember that five hundred years have passed since the last time the heavens and earth wailed."

"Ok?"

Zhang Lingshan was startled.

Five hundred years?
What a joke!
Is it because the flow of time here is different from that on the Kyushu Continent?

Zhang Lingshan immediately used his partially mastered time rules to perceive it.

But he didn't find anything wrong; at least he couldn't perceive any difference in the flow of time here compared to the Nine Provinces Continent.

but.

He discovered that he was unable to capture the timeline atop Mount Wanren.

It should be noted that his mastery of time manipulation techniques was such that he could even detect the timelines of figures like the Mist Demon King and the Holy Elder.

Yet, they were unable to grasp the timeline of this towering mountain before them.

visible.

There's definitely something wrong with the time rules in this fog realm.

Swish.

Without saying a word, Zhang Lingshan immediately summoned the Life and Death Bell to trap himself, then opened the panel and started adding points.

[Time Rule: Perfect. Special Effects: Within the Nine Provinces continent, one can observe the past and foresee the future.]

'Just the Kyushu continent?'

Zhang Lingshan was somewhat disappointed.

How come even the rules of time are restricted by the Nine Provinces Continent?

The second layer of the Fog Realm is not the Nine Provinces Continent, so my time rule effects are useless.

However, having at least fully comprehended the time rules of the Nine Provinces Continent, Zhang Lingshan naturally gained some understanding of the time rules of the second layer of the Mist Realm.

'It's not a difference in flow rate; the time rules here are completely chaotic.'

Zhang Lingshan pondered.

Because if the flow rate is different, then less than a year has passed on the Kyushu Continent, but five hundred years have passed here.

Wanrenshan said he had lived for 30,000 years, which corresponds to less than 60 years on the Nine Provinces continent.

Sixty years is not enough for the entire Nine Provinces to forget the name Wanrenshan, and Zhang Lingshan could not possibly be unaware of his reputation.

and so.

This flow rate ratio cannot be used for conversion.

'It's clear that the time rules in the second layer of the Fog Realm are incredibly chaotic; the flow is fast in some places and slow in others. Yet, despite these varying flow rates, the sounds of the dead men from the Four Gentlemen Manor can be heard simultaneously.'

Zhang Lingshan thought to himself, 'It's clear that the time rules of the Four Gentlemen Manor are higher than those of all other fluid spaces. It seems I still have to go to the Four Gentlemen Manor; this place is definitely the key to unlocking the secrets of the second layer of the Mist Realm.'

Thinking of this, Zhang Lingshan made a quick decision and said, "I'm planning to go to the Four Gentlemen Manor. Are you coming?"

"what?"

Wan Renshan was stunned, his face showing utter astonishment, wondering if the person in front of him had gone mad.

Given their strength, if they entered the Four Gentlemen Manor, they would most likely be chosen as sacrifices.

Knowing all this, why go to the Four Gentlemen Village? Are you courting death?
No.

It's not like I'm courting death.

Wan Renshan recalled what Zhang Lingshan had said earlier: this meant risking his life to personally go to the Four Gentlemen Manor to uncover the secret.

According to Zhang Lingshan, if one can uncover the secrets of the Four Gentlemen Manor, one can ascend to immortality.

Therefore, Zhang Lingshan kept his word and decided to go there in person.

But the other party is so young, yet he is willing to go to such lengths to ascend to immortality. What kind of courage is this to risk his life?
He, Wanren Mountain, has lived for 30,000 years. Even if he lived for another 30,000 years, he would only be a walking corpse here.

Zhang Lingshan is so young and he's not afraid of death, how can I be inferior to him?
"I go!"

Wan Renshan hesitated for a moment, then immediately shouted in a deep voice.

"Good, stay close to me."

Zhang Lingshan nodded and immediately leaped into the flowing space he was passing by.

The reason for bringing up Wanren Mountain was that Wanren Mountain was quite powerful and could help him attract hatred.

If the Four Gentlemen set their sights on Zhang Lingshan, he will be under immense pressure and may even be unable to move or do anything.

However, if the Four Gentlemen set their sights on Wanren Mountain, then as an observer, there is something he can do.

and so.

This Wanren Mountain is worth bringing along; it might bring miraculous effects.

time flies.

Zhang Lingshan kept jumping, occasionally stopping at Wanren Mountain, and did this countless times.

at last.

The moment they landed, a loud sound rang out.

"Filial sons and virtuous grandsons, why haven't you returned to your positions?"

The aged voice, like thunder, crashed down on Zhang Lingshan and Wan Renshan's heads with a deafening roar.

The two of them immediately and abruptly changed into mourning clothes, and their bodies involuntarily moved to the back of the line.

The order remains: men on the left and women on the right. So both of them are on the left side, with Zhang Lingshan in front and Wan Renshan behind.

Two women suddenly appeared to their right.

It seems that the two women had arrived earlier, but since they did not meet the requirement of having both a man and a woman, they waited in line. When Zhang Lingshan and his companion arrived, they naturally formed a team and joined the queue.

"Senior Wan?!"

The woman standing next to Wanren Mountain was taken aback and said, "Why are you here too? With your strength, there's no need for you to come here."

Wan Renshan said, "So it's Miss Lei Lan. Have you ever heard of Guangjie Mountain?"

"Senior Wan also knows about Guangjie Mountain?"

Lei Lan asked in surprise.

Wanrenshan was stunned.

He didn't want to tell Lei Lan why he was there, so he turned the tables and asked her a question instead of answering.

Unexpectedly, this casual question, which was meant to be a distraction, brought him a pleasant surprise.

"Lei Lan, where did you learn about Photolysis Mountain?"

Wan Renshan hurriedly pressed for an answer.

Lei Lan said, “I once met Zen Master Kumu. He told me that there is a great sea in the Misty Realm, and on the sea is a fairy mountain called Guangjie Mountain. On the mountain, there is a light that hangs down from the sky, which is the light of ascension. If you can find Guangjie Mountain, you can ascend to the upper realm.”

Wan Renshan looked surprised: "How did that old bald monk Kumu know? Has he seen him before? But if he has, he should have already ascended to heaven."

Lei Lan shook her head and said, "I don't know about that. But Master Kumu is a highly accomplished monk who does not lie, so I think what he said is true."

Wanrenshan said, "This bald monk certainly doesn't lie. It seems that Guangjie Mountain is real. But where in the Fog Realm is there an ocean? Have you ever seen one?"

Lei Lan said, "We've never seen the ocean, or even water. If we hadn't been able to extract moisture from the fog, we probably would have died long ago. But since there's moisture in the fog realm, it's not surprising that there's an ocean there. It's just that we've been unlucky and haven't been able to find one yet."

"makes sense."

Wan Renshan nodded in deep agreement. "Master Kumu was exceptionally gifted. He practiced closed-eye meditation and comprehended the supernatural power of the Heavenly Eye. Therefore, even without having been to Guangjie Mountain, he could observe the phenomenon of the light hanging from the sky."

The woman next to Zhang Lingshan suddenly spoke up, "As far as I know, as long as someone can open the third passage, Master Kumu can see it. Unfortunately, the opening of the third passage is always brief, and Master Kumu doesn't have time to capture it."

Zhang Lingshan was taken aback.

The Zen Master Kumu opened his divine eye and could observe the light hanging from the sky.
What a joke.

I activated my clairvoyance, but I still couldn't observe the light hanging from the sky.

This woman really knows how to talk nonsense.

"Who are you, and how do you know so much?" Wan Renshan asked the question Zhang Lingshan wanted to ask.

The woman said, "This junior, Xu Yunzhen, has long admired the name of Senior Wanrenshan. Senior Wan and Zen Master Kumu should be considered the most senior members of the second level of our Mist Realm. If anyone is to go to the third level, Senior Wan and Zen Master Kumu are the two most promising candidates."

"So you are Xu Yunzhen."

Wan Renshan's eyes narrowed, and he snorted, "Kumu once said that he met a junior with extraordinary talent, saying that this person is a genius who appears only once in ten thousand years. It seems that he really thinks highly of you. In order to curry favor with you, he even told you about his practice of closed-eye meditation and the Heavenly Eye. I hope that when you ascend, you can help this bald monk out, hehe."

Xu Yunzhen said, "Senior Wan, you flatter me. I am just an ordinary woman, not much better than anyone else. Otherwise, why would I have come to this group?"

Wan Renshan said, "No. With your talent and strength, you must have had a plan for coming to this team. You did not come rashly."

Xu Yunzhen smiled slightly and said, "With Senior Wan's strength and talent, it's natural that he has a purpose in coming to this group. This Four Gentlemen Manor is a unique place in the second layer of the Mist Realm, and it's not surprising that everyone wants to come and explore it."

"hehe."

Wan Renshan sneered, remaining noncommittal.

For some reason, he just couldn't stand Xu Yunzhen. He always felt that this woman was not a good person and had a big secret.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Lei Lan immediately changed the subject, saying, "There are already a hundred people ahead of us. Once we have another hundred, we'll have to go to Erjunzi's grave."

How do you know he's an ear-licker?

Zhang Lingshan suddenly asked.

Lei Lan asked in surprise, "Our Feng Mansion has been suppressed, and our hearing is not as good as before. Can't you sense it?"

"I'm new here. I'm sorry to have made you laugh," Zhang Lingshan said.

Lei Lan laughed and said, "You're really lucky. You entered the Four Gentlemen Manor as soon as you arrived at the second level of the Mist Realm. Since you're new here, the probability of you being chosen is extremely small. You just need to wait to absorb the Wind Mansion Hearing Power of the Ear Gentleman. There's no need to worry about any danger."

"What did you select?"

Zhang Lingshan asked.

Since you're pretending to be a newbie, you might as well go all the way. If you don't ask this question, people will definitely find it strange.

"Whenever a gentleman dies in the Four Gentlemen Manor, someone is chosen from the funeral procession to be sacrificed. That person will then be reborn as a gentleman. Generally, the stronger one is, the larger the treasure trove they can open, and the easier it is to be chosen. You are a newcomer and weak, so your chances of being chosen are extremely small."

Before Lei Lan could speak, Xu Yunzhen explained to Zhang Lingshan.

"That's it, thank you."

Zhang Lingshan was somewhat surprised that Xu Yun was quick to answer.

He felt the same way as Wan Renshan, that this woman had a big secret and that she had come to the Four Gentlemen Manor on her own initiative, just like him. What was she planning?
However, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this person now. On the contrary, he is very enthusiastic and can get along well with people.

At least in Zhang Lingshan's eyes, Lei Lan and Xu Yunzhen, whom he met this time, were far better than Huai Sanniang and Xue Dasao.

The woman they encountered, Huai San Niang, had ill intentions and spoke untruthfully.

Sister-in-law Xue was too lazy to speak, and only after the grave-sweeping ceremony was over did she answer some of her questions.

And this time.

Xu Yunzhen and Lei Lan were very open with each other, saying whatever came to mind.

'Perhaps it's because of the towering Mount Wanren here.'

Zhang Lingshan thought to himself.

Although Wan Renshan didn't communicate with her, Lei Lan and Xu Yunzhen were both intelligent and perceptive people, and they should have already figured something out and sensed that she and Wan Renshan were on the same path.

So, he was only saying so much to himself out of respect for Wanrenshan.

'Well, time's up, no more talking.'

Zhang Lingshan opened his mouth, but found that he could no longer make a sound, knowing that it was time to seal the words.

With no one speaking and no one disturbing us, this is a good time.

"Derivation of all laws! Begin deduce the rules of time immediately!"

Zhang Lingshan roared inwardly.

He doesn't need to control his body at all, because his body will naturally follow the group, which allows him to focus all his attention on comprehending the rules of time.

Thinking back to the first level of the Fog Realm, I was able to deduce the reverse Five Elements rules of the Fog Realm.

So, is it reasonable to deduce the time rules of the Fog Realm from the second layer of the Fog Realm?

"Filial sons and virtuous grandsons, why haven't you returned to your positions?"

"Filial sons and virtuous grandsons, why haven't you returned to your positions?"

……

As time passed, the old man's voice faded, and the funeral procession grew ever larger.

Wan Renshan was visibly getting anxious.

If Zhang Lingshan cannot come up with a solution during the funeral procession, once they actually reach the grave, one of them might be chosen.

Although there is also Xu Yunzhen, whose strength is extraordinary.

However, this woman is a peerless genius praised even by the bald monk Kumu. She came to the Four Gentlemen Manor on her own initiative, so she must have great methods and secrets, and therefore must have a way to avoid being chosen.

and so.

In the end, it was both him and Zhang Lingshan who suffered.

Although they were anxious, they couldn't move freely or speak, so being anxious was useless.

Wan Renshan had no choice but to close his eyes, calm his mind, and hope that Zhang Lingshan could really create a miracle.

Another period of time passed.

'We're going uphill.'

Wan Renshan's heart sank.

Zhang Lingshan, the guy who called himself the Great Emperor of the Nine Provinces, ultimately failed to create a miracle.

How could I have been so bewitched and believed his ghost, following him to this cursed place to attend a funeral?

Oh shit.

It's over now.

Zhang Lingshan is a newcomer. Even if he is stronger than me, the Four Gentlemen sometimes look at more than just the ability to open the treasure chest when selecting people.

There are other indicators as well.

Although the specific indicators are not clear, Wan Renshan believes that one of them must be the length of time people spend in the fog realm.

Zhang Lingshan has only been here a short time, so his chances of being selected are definitely lower than mine.

'Sigh. Oh well, might as well die. I've lived enough anyway. Staying in this godforsaken place won't help me ascend, so I might as well die sooner and be reborn sooner.'

Wan Renshan sighed inwardly.

As he continued uphill, Wanrenshan knew that he was getting closer and closer to the Tomb of the Four Gentlemen, and also closer and closer to the end of his life.

as predicted.

An aged, thunderous voice boomed, "We have arrived at the Tomb of the Gentleman! Everyone, kneel!" (End of Chapter)
