Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 196: Interior Trap, Become the King

As soon as Zhou Sheng finished speaking...

Swish!
A figure suddenly appeared behind a tree not far away, then walked over in three or two steps and saluted him.

"Junior Xia Ye, greetings to Senior Zhou Sheng!"

"Hmm? You are Xia Ye?"

After taking a look at him, Zhou Sheng immediately showed doubts. He had heard about this kid from Zhang Huaiyi a long time ago and had always been interested in him, but...

"You beat him up like this, weren't you just trying to lure me out?"

He narrowed his eyes, obviously not very happy.

"Well..."

Xia Ye bowed apologetically, showing helplessness.

"You have seen my purpose, so I won't argue any more. It's just that I really have something urgent to deal with, so I resorted to this desperate measure."

"However, I did not simply beat you up. In the process, I also helped you sort out your soul and remove the impurities in your physical Qi. Now your life Qi should be much clearer than before, which is of great benefit to you."

Wow!
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Ye spun his palm and a turbid pill appeared in his hand. These were the impurities he had previously removed from Wang Ye's body as proof.

"Ok?"

Zhou Sheng narrowed his eyes, then turned to look at Wang Ye and sensed for a moment, and found that this kid's life energy was indeed much clearer than before, and his coma was only caused by some kind of magic, and he himself had not suffered any damage.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Zhou Sheng looked at Xia Ye again, raised his eyebrows, and asked:

"I heard... you created a method of alchemy called 'Nine Transformations of the Universe'. Is this what you used just now?"

He was silent for a while just now, because he was feeling the changes in the surrounding world. Finally, he confirmed that there was indeed a mysterious aura around him that he had never seen before, so he guessed it.

"Exactly!"

Xia Ye smiled slightly.

"Um……"

After looking at the boy again, Zhou Sheng's expression returned to normal. He knew that the young man in front of him had already opened the door and embarked on the "road to the top", and his current cultivation level was even higher than his own.

It is rare for someone so young to have such strength, yet he is neither arrogant nor impatient, and treats himself with courtesy. In addition, he does not do things too recklessly and has his own sense of propriety. This makes him quite admired.

then……

"Well, for the sake of Seventeen and Nineteen, I won't bother with this matter. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Zhou Shengben was already very interested in Xia Ye, so he asked directly.

"Well... it's like this. I made some discoveries a few days ago, and now I want to enter the inner scene to explore. But unfortunately, my practice as a sorcerer is not very profound, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get the desired results, so I want to ask you for advice!" Xia Ye replied immediately.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Zhou Sheng raised his eyebrows and immediately understood what he meant.

"I see you are interested in my 'Feng Hou Qi Men', right?"

In his previous communication with Zhang Huaiyi, he already knew the abilities this kid possessed. He had the ability to set up the Qi Bureau as early as two years ago. "His practice as a sorcerer is not very profound" must be just an excuse.

"This...haha!"

Seeing that his thoughts were exposed by the other party, Xia Ye smiled and admitted it directly.

"To be honest, Senior, I have the same idea. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"

"Um……"

Zhou Sheng thought about it and then nodded.

"If you are really interested in my 'Fenghou Qimen', it's not impossible. With your cultivation and talent, it should be no problem for you to comprehend its profound meaning..."

He knew very well that this kid would never covet the "Eight Wonderful Skills". In addition, considering his relationship with Zhang Huaiyi and Ruan Feng and his own excellence, he was happy to do him a favor.

"But...what do you mean by 'exploring the interior'? Did you find something in the interior?"

But then he looked puzzled again. The existence of "inner scene" was very important to the warlock, so he was naturally concerned about it.

"About this point..."

Due to Qu Tong's special identity and the possibility of involving Duanmu Ying, Xia Ye did not say it explicitly. He only said that he had some discoveries, as well as his understanding and experience of the inner scene, and wanted to see if anyone could survive in the inner scene for a long time in a pure soul state.

"Well……"

"Your idea is interesting."

After listening to what he said, Zhou Sheng couldn't help but ponder. With his cultivation and understanding of the inner world, theoretically...

"It's possible!"

"You think it's possible?"

Hearing this, Xia Ye couldn't help but feel happy. If even Zhou Sheng thought this was indeed possible, then his guess would be almost right.

"It is indeed possible, but it is probably difficult to do normally. After all, the inner scene is extremely dangerous. Without the connection of the physical body, it is very likely that one will be completely lost and eventually swallowed by the inner scene and the soul will perish."

Zhou Sheng nodded, but then said.

"From what you just said, it seems that you already have enough understanding of the interior. Let me say a little more..."

"In my opinion, the existence of the 'Inner Scene' is actually more like a 'trap' set by heaven and earth for practitioners. It contains countless 'treasures', but basically no one is destined to 'get the treasure'!"

"Um……"

Xia Ye thought about it and nodded.

"You mean, the inner scene actually hides all the secrets of the world, which is a great temptation for any practitioner, but as long as someone dares to go deeper, he will inevitably be trapped in it?"

"It's not just that..."

Zhou Sheng shook his head.

"We often say that the universe is unkind and treats all things as straw dogs. The universe itself seems to believe that all beings are equal and does not have any subjective thoughts. However, after so many years of contact with the inner scene, I found that this seems to be different from what we have always believed!"

"Oh? You mean..."

"What I mean is that the heaven and earth may treat all things fairly, but this does not mean that they do not have 'thoughts'. Even if they are not 'independent thinking' like us, they may have something like a 'soul'..."

Zhou Sheng explained.

“And this ‘soul’ is also the ‘interior scene’!”

"Of course, as I said just now, there shouldn't be any 'independent thinking' in this, at least not yet, but I can be sure that it should have a certain 'instinct'!"

"instinct?"

It must be said that this was the first time Xia Ye had heard Zhou Sheng's statement. He immediately became serious and pondered over it as he listened.

"Yes, I have entered the inner world many times over the years. After all, resisting the 'temptation' there is a kind of practice. Moreover, the 'inner world' is also the world closest to the origin of heaven and earth. It can better comprehend heaven and earth and temper the power of the soul."

Zhou Sheng continued.

"It is precisely because of this that I was able to discover this secret by chance. At that time, I was practicing in the inner scene. Just as a stray thought and a doubt about practice appeared in my mind, a ball of light representing the 'answer' appeared in front of me..."

"You should also know that, generally speaking, such manifestations will only occur when one seriously asks questions in the inner scene. This is obviously not right, so I did not break it at the time, but directly exited the inner scene."

"After that, I encountered the same situation several times. As my cultivation deepened and my soul became stronger, this situation became more and more frequent. It was as if something was eager to make me take the bait..."

"In order to find out the situation, I tried to contact the 'answer'. Guess what? I almost lost my life!"

"How is this going?!"

Xia Ye was surprised when he heard this. Although he knew that there were dangers hidden in the interior, he did not expect such a situation to happen.

Zhou Sheng immediately replied:

"You should know that the 'answers' that appear in the inner scene can generally be judged by the size of the light ball. The larger and harder the light ball is, the more extensive the answer is, and the higher the price paid..."

"But the ball of light I touched was very small. It showed signs of breaking immediately after a slight touch. But just before it was about to break, I suddenly felt the terrifying power contained in it. It was definitely not a 'simple answer', so I immediately used the 'Feng Hou Qi Men' to escape and saved my life."

From Zhou Sheng's expression, it can be seen that even after a long time, he still feels scared when he thinks about this matter now. After all, who could have thought that such a situation would occur in this inner scene...

And since then, he seldom entered the inner scene again. He speculated that this might be related to one's personal soul cultivation. That is, the stronger his cultivation was, the more likely he would encounter this situation. It was better not to go in.

"hiss……"

"Isn't this just 'fishing'?"

After listening to Zhou Sheng's story, Xia Ye took a breath. He realized that he had oversimplified the internal situation, and his face suddenly darkened.

This is not surprising. Although his current cultivation level has surpassed Zhou Sheng, he has never explored the inner scene. In addition, it is difficult for sorcerers in the world to reach this level, so it is impossible for him to know. "Well, in your words now, it is 'fishing', but this is also why I judge that the inner scene does not have 'independent thinking' but only 'instinct'. This trick is too clumsy. As long as the heart of Tao is firm enough, it will not be fooled." Zhou Sheng nodded.

"So, you said you wanted to explore the possibility of the inner scene, so you'd better be prepared to face this situation. The longer you stay in the inner scene, the more your desire will be magnified. If it reaches a point where you can no longer control it and thus come into contact with the 'answer', you will never be able to come back!"

Having said that, Zhou Sheng glanced at Wang Ye lying on the ground, and after confirming that the boy would not wake up for a while, he continued:
"In that case, I will pass on the 'Feng Hou Qi Men' to you. If you really encounter this situation, it may be able to save your life. It can be considered a good relationship for me!"

This is how the highest-level practitioners in the world get along with each other. Everyone aims to "reach heaven and become an immortal," and naturally knows how rare and important "fellow Taoists" or "Taoists" are. So everyone focuses on communication instead of cherishing one's own things. Only in this way can they verify each other and ascend the road to heaven together.

Not to mention, Xia Ye is now a talented person who has reached the "top" and has unlimited future. In addition, Zhang Huaiyi's son Zhang Yude has made rapid progress in recent years. It will only be good for Zhou Sheng to be on good terms with him!
in this way……

Snapped!
Zhou Sheng raised his hands and placed them on Xia Ye's shoulders. He then stared into Xia Ye's eyes and reminded him:
"Keep your mind alert and watch out!"

Swish!
The next moment, his eyes suddenly flashed with a faint blue light, and a strange array disk instantly appeared in his pupils. The array disk spun rapidly, reflecting into Xia Ye's pupils, and at the same time, it also filled in lines of words, which were the "Fenghou Qimen" mental method!

"The Xiantian leads the Zhoutian, and the changes of the Zhoutian make me the king..."

"I see, this is the 'Feng Hou Qi Men'!"

Almost at the moment of receiving this information, Xia Ye grasped the subtlety of it. Although he could not say that he had fully understood it, he had understood the general idea.

In this way, he also discovered that this "Fenghou Qimen" seemed to be not just what Wang Ye showed in the comics. Combined with the previous scene where Zhou Sheng transformed into a bird, a flash of enlightenment suddenly emerged in his mind.

moment……

"call……"

Xia Ye, who was originally standing there in a daze, suddenly blinked and then let out a long sigh, which made Zhou Sheng stunned.

"You kid... you realized it so quickly?"

In his opinion, no matter how talented or powerful a person is, he should be immersed in the "Fenghou Qimen" formation when he first sees it. Unless he truly understands the mystery of it, it will be impossible to escape.

What Zhou Sheng didn't know was that Xia Ye's innate ability "Ming Li" was irrational in terms of "comprehension". As long as it was completely dismantled, Xia Ye would be able to get to the root of it, and his comprehension speed was naturally unmatched...

In addition, Xia Ye's cultivation has reached such a level now, and his understanding of the world has naturally reached the "ultimate state". With the two combined, it is not difficult for him to comprehend this "Fenghou Qimen".

So the next second...

"Senior Zhou Sheng, if I'm not mistaken, your 'Feng Hou Qi Men' is different from other Qi Men, and can use itself as the center palace and control the changes of the four plates at will... There are deeper uses, right?"

Xia Ye smiled slightly and asked softly, while also starting to circulate Qi.

"Like...this?"

Wow!
The next moment, his mind moved, and a mysterious energy instantly spread out with him as the center, about to form a strange formation. However, this formation suddenly converged before it took shape, and was finally taken in by him, with the center of the formation imprinted on his heart!

Immediately afterwards...

Swish!
As soon as Xia Ye thought of this, his body suddenly changed. He turned into a roc, flapped his wings, and soared into the sky. He circled in the sky for a while before diving down...

pat!

Landing in front of Zhou Sheng, his body stretched out and turned back into his own appearance. He carefully felt the strangeness of the change and couldn't help but smile.

"This……"

Seeing this scene, Zhou Sheng was immediately surprised. He couldn't believe that this kid had reached this level just after coming into contact with "Fenghou Qimen". He couldn't help but stare.

"Have you really understood?"

"Yeah, I understand!"

Xia Ye nodded in response, then said seriously.

"The facts prove that my feelings are correct. If you only use the 'Feng Hou Qi Men' as a Qi Men formation, no matter how magical it is, it can only be used within the formation. But if you contain it within your body and use yourself as the formation, you can control everything you own at will and use the power of heaven and earth to make endless changes!"

That's right, this is the real "Fenghou Qimen". What Wang Ye showed in the comics was just the most superficial part, at least that's how it was when Xia Ye crossed over. This also made this method have too many restrictions...

The most crucial point is the "scope". No matter how strong the person who sets up the plan is, the scope of this strange gate will eventually have an end. As long as the opponent is not in this strange gate, he will have no other way.

"what!"

With this thought, Xia Ye suddenly remembered something. In the original plot, the mysterious man targeting Wang Ye appeared three times basically when he wanted to expand the scope of the formation. If that was really Zhou Sheng, it would make sense. It was actually a kind of "guidance"!

That’s right, the real usage of “Fenghou Qimen” is completely different from other Qimen formations. It simply borrows the power of heaven and earth, and the secret is actually hidden in its “mantra and secret method”, which has been explained very thoroughly!

"Senior, if I understand correctly, this mental formula should be interpreted as follows..."

So, Xia Ye smiled slightly and spoke suddenly.

"The innate control of the Zhoutian means that the innate qi system of the human body controls the changes of the Zhoutian so as to be consistent with the changes of heaven and earth and induce resonance between heaven and earth. Then, the power of heaven and earth can be used to cover the changes of the Zhoutian, and finally... turn me into the king of heaven and earth!"

"!!!"

After hearing his words, Zhou Sheng's eyes were filled with even greater surprise, because this proved that Xia Ye had truly understood, and it was not just a coincidence...

It’s really scary!
Such comprehension ability and speed of comprehension, even he had only seen one person. It can only be said that this kid is worthy of reaching the "top". Perhaps only Zhang Zhiwei can compare with him!

"..."

"Yes, that's it."

Afterwards, Zhou Sheng was silent for a while, and only nodded after he calmed down.

"You realized this so quickly. I now understand why Nineteen thinks so highly of you."

"Senior, you are so kind. I would like to thank you for teaching me the Dharma!"

Xia Ye immediately bowed to express his gratitude. Obtaining this "Fenghou Qimen" would be of great help to his future plans!

Seeing him like this, Zhou Sheng waved his hand: "No need to thank me, with your ability, even if I don't teach you this method, you can still figure out other things. I just provided you with a 'shortcut'..."

"If you really want to thank me, you can come to me if you have any questions about numerology in the future. We can communicate more. You know how difficult it is to find someone who has a 'common language' at our level. That's all."

"It's natural!"

Xia Ye naturally had no objection to this. It would be of great benefit to him to be able to communicate with the creator of the "Eight Wonderful Skills", so he agreed immediately.

Then he suddenly thought of something, and took out a ring-like object from the space magic weapon:
"Oh, by the way, I happen to have a communication device here, why don't you take it, it will be more convenient for me to find you in the future, or for you to find me!"

"Well, that's fine too."

Zhou Sheng didn't say much when he saw this. He just took the thing. He knew how to use it after just one look and raised his eyebrows.

"Wow, a communication device is at the magic weapon level, you really think it's extravagant!"

However, he also knew that Ma Xianhong, the great-grandson of Twenty-Five (Ma Benzai), was working under Xia Ye. With the "Shen Ji Bai Lian" in his hand, he could have as many magic weapons as he wanted, so it was nothing.

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly remembered something. After putting the ring away, he immediately asked, "By the way, I remember Seventeen and Nineteen told me about what you are doing now. How is it going? Is it going well?"

"Well, thank you for your concern. Everything is going well for me now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the time to bother you. If you have any advice, please feel free to tell me. I will be very grateful!" Xia Ye replied immediately.

"Haha, it's not that I can give you any advice, I'm just quite interested in what you're doing now. I know you may have concerns, and you don't have to tell me everything now. Anyway, if there's anything I can help with, just come to me." Zhou Sheng grinned.

"You also know what the outside world called us, the thirty-six sworn brothers. These guys just wanted to accuse us of this, not to mention this so-called 'company' now. It's time to change this world!"

"Oh?"

"It seems that you are also a fellow traveler. Since you have such intentions, you can rest assured that I will not let you down!"

Xia Ye couldn't help but feel delighted when he heard that, and immediately bowed and smiled.

Then his eyes rolled and he suddenly thought of something. Maybe he could ask Zhou Sheng for help. "To be honest, I really have something I want to ask you for help with. One of my companions is a sorcerer with extraordinary talent. If you can spare some time to give me some advice... that would be great!"

"Hahaha, no problem. The fact that you gave her an evaluation of 'excellent talent' shows that this person has really good talent. I don't think Wang Ye will be able to figure it out in a short time. So just call her over. It will give me something to do!"

Zhou Sheng's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this. He had always wanted to find a successor to his legacy, so the more talented people there were, the better.

"Okay, I have some other things to do right now. I'll bring her here after I'm done. Please train her well!"

Xia Ye was naturally delighted, and bowed again.

"Then Senior, this matter is settled. I will take my leave now!"

"Well, let's go."

In this way, Xia Ye's purpose of this trip was achieved. Now that he had obtained the "Feng Hou Qi Men", his next plan could officially begin. He immediately used the "Fire Escape" to return to the treatment room and began to search in the medicine cabinet...

After a while, he placed a number of jade bottles on the table. These were all the mysterious materials he had collected in the past year and a half. Compared with the previous materials, they were much higher in level. After opening these jade bottles, he then performed the "Nine Turns of Heaven and Earth" and began to refine the elixir...

This is the final step before the plan begins...

A new beginning...

Let’s start from here!
