All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

In a secluded jungle,

An old man sitting cross-legged suddenly awoke and saw the figure appearing opposite him. His expression changed drastically, and he almost instinctively tried to activate his ability—the Great Luo Cave Observation.

The Great Luo Insight technique is arguably the most powerful of the Eight Extraordinary Skills. It can manipulate the surrounding spatial energy, allowing the user to teleport and even cause nearby objects to shift spatially.
Gu Qiting relied on this "Flying Thunder God" technique to escape the Jia Shen Rebellion with ease, and to this day no one has been able to catch up with him.

I advise you not to do anything.

"Otherwise, I can't guarantee you'll have a complete corpse."

Wang Gan slowly approached, a spatial-distorting, void-breaking power swirling around his fingers.

If Gu Qiting were to leave, his attack would shatter the space, and even if he possessed the Great Luo Cave Observation skill, Gu Qiting would likely be torn to pieces within the space, leaving no trace of his remains.

"Gu Qiting has met the banished immortal!"

Gu Qiting smiled bitterly, cupped his hands in greeting to the newly appeared figure, and, knowing the strength of this person, dared not move again.

"You know me?"

Wang Gan smiled.
"I just live a secluded life, it's not that I don't go online,"

Gu Qiting smiled.

It seems that even the elderly cannot escape the magic of the internet. For example, an old master like me is always glued to his phone, scrolling through it.

"I've learned that the banished immortal has tarnished the old Celestial Master's reputation, but I just don't understand... how did the banished immortal find me?"

Gu Qiting's expression held a hint of curiosity.
Given his ability to perceive the Great Luo Cave, he could escape almost without anyone coming after him over the years, unless he deliberately exposed himself.

"Aren't Wudang Taoist priests always able to use Qimen Dunjia to predict inner visions?"

"I simply had Wang Ye of Wudang lead me into the inner realm, where he broke through all the fireballs of your Eight Extraordinary Techniques inheritors one by one."

Wang Gan laughed heartily.
These inheritors of the Eight Extraordinary Skills are all incredibly cunning; if we don't use special methods, it will take them forever to find us.

"This"

Gu Qiting hesitated upon hearing this, clearly aware of the price of the prophecy within the inner vision: the backlash of the prophecy.

If one's own cultivation level is insufficient, one might suffer a backlash that kills them on the spot. The backlash related to 'He' would likely be extremely severe!
"A minor backlash, nothing more than a little hardship."

A strange look flashed across Wang Gan's face.
Okay, he admitted it hurt a little.

When Wang Gan was hit by the fireball in Wang Ye's inner vision, it was almost equivalent to Zhang Zhiwei's full-force attack. It hit him several times without any warning. If it weren't for the instinctive healing effect of 'Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun', Wang Gan would probably have suffered a lot.

"So, the banished immortal came for the Great Luo Cave Observation?"

Gu Qiting was not surprised.
The Eight Extraordinary Skills Group was announced by the company. Anyone who pays even a little attention to the situation in the world of supernatural beings would know that the Immortal himself was probably behind this.

"Collecting the Eight Extraordinary Skills"

Gu Jiting sighed.

"The banished immortal should also know the truth. The source of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques is 'that thing,' and this whole thing was a huge mistake."

"It was because of our intrusion that the power of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques leaked out, making it easier for the world to awaken to 'His' existence."

"Back then, some of us deliberately leaked the information about the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, also to completely bury this matter. That's why we've been hiding and running around all these years, just to bury the secrets and truths within." Gu Jiting was perhaps a little rambling because he hadn't spoken for a long time.

“Immortal, do you know that the more I have secluded myself in various places and practiced the Eight Extraordinary Techniques over the years, the more I have come to know the greatness of ‘He’?”

"Although it was only for a moment, and only a little bit of the Dao and reason was revealed, it was as if we had seen the truth, as if we had seen the Dao of Heaven!"

"It can enable ordinary people like us with inferior talents to learn such amazing skills."

"Even the most prestigious sects throughout history are like this: the Samadhi True Fire of the Zhuge family, the Dan Shi of the Tang family, the Thunder Technique of Longhu Mountain. What family traditions, what great sect heritages, are all just lucky breaks!"

Gu Qiting took a deep breath and uttered a startling statement.

"The combination of the eight extraordinary skills is definitely not a good thing. You should know that this world has long been corrupted!"

Wang Gan remained calm, neither confirming nor denying.
This is the cruel truth of this world: those who seem extraordinary and no different from ordinary people actually have their cultivated Qi corrupted by higher-level beings.

Like some otherworldly evil gods, omnipresent and polluting information, all those who cultivate Qi ultimately have only one destination—to become a part of 'He' and cause its resurrection.

This truth can only be perceived by those close to the 'source' or by top-level cultivators like Zhang Daoling.

But this is unavoidable and unstoppable, because from the beginning 'He' has planted tampering in the human genes, or has already corrupted the human body itself. Even if the acquired cultivation methods are erased, new 'innate extraordinary people' will continue to emerge among humans, providing nourishment for 'He'.

Therefore, the higher-ups could only try to control the number of superhumans. Zhang Daoling also had all the Celestial Masters' Qi sealed, which was like drinking poison to quench thirst, to prevent the matter from progressing too quickly.

In such a desperate situation, the "one person" in the so-called "Under One Person" probably refers to the existence of "He"!

“Feng Baobao was a failed product, but she almost attracted the attention of ‘He’. It was Wugensheng who sacrificed himself to save Feng Baobao’s life.”

"You, the banished immortal, are you still determined to go your own way?"

Gu Qiting knew he couldn't stop anything, but he still tried his best to persuade her.

Faced with an evil god that threatens human survival, even the wicked Quanxing appears much kinder and more sincere.

“According to you, I will die sooner or later and become a part of ‘He’,”

"Before you die, you might as well struggle a little and maybe you can find a way."

Wang Gan smiled calmly.

Of course he wouldn't die. Wang Gan wasn't from this world. When he first arrived, his cultivation was already high enough that he wouldn't be affected by the pollution.

Moreover, as cautious as Wang Gan was, he didn't actually learn any of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques; he only borrowed a few and taught them all to Zhang Chulan.

But there was one thing Wang Gan agreed on: 'He's' level was definitely far above Wang Gan's. After all, until now, Wang Gan had not been able to detect 'He's' actions in the supernatural beings or the essence of heaven and earth in this world.

"makes sense.."

Gu Qiting seemed relieved upon hearing this.

Even powerful figures like the banished immortal and Zhang Daoling were powerless, let alone ordinary extraordinary people like them. Perhaps this matter was inherently unavoidable, and their burdens were merely a death throes.

Next, Gu Qiting told Wang Gan everything about the Daluo Cave Observation.

Wang Gan didn't have time to study it; he simply memorized it for later, intending to teach it to Zhang Chulan. (End of Chapter)
