Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 61 The Gathering of Qi
"You've arranged a private meeting with the leader of Quanxing Sect, and even specifically requested that I be the only one attending the banquet. Brother Zhao, what exactly are you up to?"

“I want to go somewhere, but this place is a little special,” Zhao Zhen said calmly.

"Oh? That makes me interested. A place that you, Zhao Zhen, would go to even if it meant meeting the person you least wanted to see, must have something special about it, right?"

Zhao Zhen shrugged, turned around, and strode south.

"Whether it's strange or not, you'll find out when you get here."

"Heh heh? Could this be a trap?" Wu Gensheng chuckled strangely.

"So what if it really is a trap? What, the dignified leader of Quanxing Sect is afraid?"

"The Quanxing Sect Leader is not afraid, but Wugensheng is, especially since the one who set up this trap for me is you, Zhao Zhen."

Wugensheng put away his smile and spoke seriously.

"Don't worry, although my old man has now left Quanxing, he was once a disciple of Quanxing."

Besides, I'm not from any reputable sect, so as long as you don't mess with me, I have no interest in your heads.

"I'm relieved to hear that. Let's go, lead the way."

……

An hour later, deep in the Qinling Mountains.

Should we continue deeper into the Qinling Mountains?

Wugensheng, who was walking ahead, suddenly asked.

"Mm." Zhao Zhen nodded.

But at that moment, Wugensheng suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.

"You felt it?" Zhao Zhen raised an eyebrow and also stopped walking.

Wugensheng did not reply, but frowned and took a step to the left, then returned to his original position and took a step to the right.

A moment later, a smile appeared on Wugensheng's lips, and his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

"Haha, that's interesting, that's interesting! So that's how it is!"

Seeing Wugensheng standing there laughing heartily, Zhao Zhen's lips also curled into a smile.

Sure enough, it was the right decision to go to him.

"Brother Zhao, it's amazing you managed to find such a place!"

"Found?"

"Is this place a Qi formation?"

"Mm." Zhao Zhen nodded.

The so-called "qi formation" is, according to sorcerers, a special pattern formed in a certain place within a certain period of time, where inanimate objects solidify their form and the innate qi of living beings flows within that form, viewed from a perspective that transcends time.

It can be naturally formed, such as mountains and rivers, or man-made, such as formations and buildings.

Qi formation is essentially an energy field that can influence the flow of Qi and even the trajectory of fate of those who enter it.

To put it simply, the principle of Qi formation is actually similar to Feng Shui, except that Feng Shui is just a small application based on Qi formation.

Just as there are auspicious and inauspicious places in feng shui, the energy flow itself has no inherent good or bad fortune; it only has rules.

If you follow the rules of the Qi formation and complete this process, then you will be safe and sound, and you may even reap some unexpected benefits.

However, if you disregard the rules of Qi and act recklessly, you will face an inevitable end from fate, dying without even knowing how you died. The reason for this is that a sorcerer does not judge a person solely based on the present moment, but rather on the sum of the present, the past, and the future.

The human body itself is a sophisticated miniature energy field, which sustains life through the circulation of Qi.

Once you enter a Qi formation and disregard its rules, you may not feel anything unusual in the present moment, but the "flow" generated by the Qi formation will constantly influence your past self.

When the aura becomes powerful enough, your past self might even be torn apart by this "aura"!

Once a person has no past, they naturally have no future.

This is why it is said that if you don't follow the rules of the Qi Bureau, you may die without even knowing how you died, because your timeline has been forcibly erased by the Qi Bureau!

"Now I understand why you insisted on inviting me to explore this place with you. Given the layout of this place, perhaps only someone with divine spiritual power like me could forge a path to heaven?"

"Ha ha……"

Zhao Zhen remained silent, which was taken as tacit acceptance of Wugensheng's arrogant statement.

Ultimately, Qi is also a type of Qi, and the rootless deities and spirits are precisely the ones who can organize all the methods of Qi into their most primitive form.

Therefore, from Wugensheng's perspective, he could perceive the faint "flow" generated by the aura.

This is why Zhao Zhen had to invite Wugensheng to accompany him, no matter how unwilling he was.

"You'd better stick close to me from now on. Since you know about the special nature of this place, you must also be aware of the consequences of taking the wrong path, right?"

"Ah."

Zhao Zhen nodded.

So over the next few hours, the two of them slowly made their way deeper into the Qinling Mountains.

Although the process was slow, it was the first time he had been there. Even Wugensheng, who possessed divine spirit, had to slowly try and make mistakes until he found the right path where there was no "airflow" blowing on him. That was the "rule" of this place.

Two hours later, Wugensheng, who had explored almost the entire Qinling Mountains, finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped in front of a valley.

"Alright, you're out now. You can move around freely."

"Thank you."

"Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for not leaving me behind and coming over by yourself," Zhao Zhen replied honestly.

In fact, he knew very well that although the aura was dangerous, it had no effect on Wugensheng, who possessed divine spirit.

In other words, if Wugensheng wanted to, he could simply leave Zhao Zhen behind, or even, with malicious intent, lead him down the wrong path.

But he didn't do that. Instead, he tried and failed step by step, and eventually spent several hours finding the right path for Zhao Zhen.

No matter who he meets, he can treat them with the utmost sincerity; at least at this moment, Wugensheng still possesses this charm.

This may explain why the "Thirty-Six Thieves" from various sects were willing to swear brotherhood with him here.

"You brought me here. If I just left you there, who knows what other traps might lie ahead?"

Wugensheng laughed and then continued, "Besides, don't you have that Golden Escape Flowing Light? You can leave here anytime you want, right?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head and didn't argue with Wu Gensheng, but continued walking inside.

"This place is called the Twenty-Four Heavenly Valley."

"Tongtian Valley? What a boastful tone."
