Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 190 Perception Beyond Time

"Hey, Xiaodie, why are you so absent-minded?" As one of the few female superhumans among the 36 people, although they had only known each other for a short time, they had quickly formed good friendships.

While they were drinking, Huang Fang, the most carefree and easygoing of them all, noticed that Tian Xiaodie was frequently distracted and asked with a smile, "Have you taken a fancy to any man?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Duanmu Ying interrupted, "Xiaodie's child has already started cultivating, unlike you, a single woman, who can make such jokes."

"Oh? Really? I didn't know that."

"Besides, Xiaodie was looking in the direction of Wugensheng just now. Could it be that she has her eye on that guy Wugensheng?" Wei Shufen also laughed and said, "Or maybe it's that taciturn guy who's with Wugensheng."

Huang Fang glanced at him twice and said, "That Tang Clan guy... his name is Dong Chang, right? Hey, you know what, he has a kind of indescribable air about him."

"Have it?"

"no."

"I wonder what Wugensheng was talking to him about by taking him to a corner alone." Wei Shufen lowered her voice and said sinisterly, "Speaking of which, everyone, that's a member of the Tang Clan, his poisoning skills are top-notch. I think Wugensheng might be instructing him to secretly poison our drinks and kill us!"

"No, no way?!"

"Shufen, don't scare me! Wugensheng may be a bastard, but would he really do something like this?!"

Huang Fang shuddered. Just then, Guan Yi, who was sitting with Wu Gengsheng, glanced over and gave her a stiff smile.

Huang Fang was so frightened she almost jumped up, exclaiming in panic, "Can he...can he hear me?!"

"Haha, stop fooling around."

"That's so far, how is that possible?!"

"Perhaps they're sensitive to eye contact?"

Wei Shufen and Duanmu Ying shook their heads with smiles, but Tian Xiaodie suddenly swallowed hard.

It's so similar, the expressions are so similar!

"Gentlemen, gentlemen, please don't talk about him. I just spaced out for a moment, let's continue drinking!" She picked up her wine bowl with a bitter expression, praying inwardly.

Even Uncle Thirteen couldn't be this powerful... Waaah, he really seems to be able to do it!
On the other side, Song Mian and Zhou Sheng from Wudang were sitting together, and they were whispering, "That person is not right. The one Wugensheng called over."

Zhou Sheng's eyes darted around, glancing at Xu Xin, who was feigning nonchalance. After a moment's thought, he frowned and raised a finger to his lips.

"Don't look, don't talk, don't think."

At the same time, another family-trained sorcerer, Gu Qiting, made a quick calculation and his expression turned grim: "Could it be that one?"

Not far away, Zhang Huaiyi's eyes casually swept over several sorcerers, his eyes downcast, looking honest and dull, as if he were drunk.

You know nothing, Zhang Huaiyi.

I can't say anything carelessly, I dare not say anything carelessly.

……

"Haha, not bad, right? At least six or seven of my brothers saw through your disguise." Wugensheng said to Guan Yi from the corner.

"It's too conspicuous of you to call me here alone, especially since I didn't really try to hide in the first place."

Guan Yi said, "It doesn't matter if they guess it's me; they probably won't come forward to expose me."

"Of course. If we don't expose you, you might continue to play along with us and see what we do next. But if someone exposes you, at least your niece-in-law and a few others you know will have to be dragged back by you."

Guan Yi smiled and said, "So? How do you plan to fight against the heavens?"

Wugensheng chuckled: "Tomorrow I'll take everyone to a good place, you'll see once you go. Oh, no, it is indeed a good place for them, but for you..."

He frowned slightly and shook his head: "I don't have your level of cultivation, so I can't judge what impact it will have on you. You should reconsider whether you want to go or not. That place is beneficial to their cultivation, and can even be called a celestial opportunity, but for you, it may actually hinder your cultivation."

Guan Yi naturally knew where Wugensheng was referring to. The Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley, the Human Cave, and the even more hidden 'Nine-Bend Winding Cave'. That was a wondrous energy formation left behind by the legendary extraordinary man, Zhang Boduan of Ziyang Mountain, a top-tier 'creation' in the art of feng shui.

Even Guan Yi, who had cultivated for 105 years, was still far from being able to compare with the historical figure known as the "Ancestor of Alchemy." In fact, in a sense, according to the worldview of "Under One Person," the Ancestor of Alchemy, Zhang Boduan, the Purple Sun Immortal, was an extraordinary person even more remarkable than Zhuge Liang.

Guan Yi already knew about that place and knew that it was most likely the place where the Eight Extraordinary Techniques were comprehended.

His feelings about that place went through three stages: curiosity but inability to go, anticipation but fear of affecting the birth of the Eight Extraordinary Skills and thus not daring to go, until now, a little bit of interest.

At this moment, something else was more interesting to him, and he wanted to confirm: "Wugensheng, let's get back to your daughter, what's her name?"

Wugensheng paused slightly, observing Guan Yi's attitude with some suspicion, then suddenly his face showed shock: "Could it be that you have already..."

The people secretly observing the scene were all secretly shocked—it was the first time they had ever seen Wugensheng display such an out-of-control emotion.

What happened?

……

Early the next morning, Wugensheng led 35 people into the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley.

Gu Qiting was still unsettled by yesterday's events, glancing back as he walked. When his gaze fell on Dong Chang, the feeling from yesterday was gone.

'Has he left? Is this the real Dong Chang? The one who came, chatted with the sect leader for a few minutes, and left without doing anything else?'

"Xiao Gu, continue," Duanmu Ying said from the side. "What would happen if we didn't follow the layout here and just barged in randomly? Would we be hit by that airflow? Would we get hurt?"

Gu Qiting paused, then shook his head and said, "It's not just about being injured, Eiko. The influence of one's aura transcends time and starts from the change itself. You are not just who you are now, but the sum of your past, present, and future."

If you go astray and clash with the energy flow, the impact of that energy flow will be the sum of your past, present, and future.

You might not feel it now, but if your past self is distorted by this energy, it might even be completely torn apart.

Duanmu Ying's expression changed slightly: "No more past? What will happen?!"

"What will happen? Without the past, there is no future. Even a small part of the past, once destroyed, is the end for that person. They will most likely die... inexplicably."

Duanmu Ying jolted awake and ran towards Wugensheng, shouting, "Wugensheng! Slow down! Are you sure you're leading us the right way?!"

Zhang Huaiyi, seemingly lost in thought, glanced at Dong Chang behind him, then at Wugensheng, and said, "Brother Gu, I understand what you mean. If this place wasn't man-made, then it's strange. How did the first person who came in know the way?"

“I don’t know about that. If he could have a perception beyond time, he should be able to see the whole picture of everything in the world…” Gu Jiting said, his eyes twitching as if he had thought of something.

Zhang Huaiyi's heart skipped a beat; this was beyond his comprehension of time!
Wugensheng turned around and said, "Stop guessing. I did find the way here. But beyond the understanding of time? I don't have that ability yet. Don't forget the abilities of the gods and spirits. The so-called Qi formation is ultimately just a means. As long as it's Qi, it's useless against me."

Zhou Sheng's lips curled slightly: "Transcending the understanding of time is the lifelong pursuit of us sorcerers. Even Zhuge Liang back then couldn't do it. It's strange that Wugensheng has this ability."

“Yes,” Wugensheng sighed, “such a person could be called half a god. I also thought that there wouldn’t be such a person now.”

"Eh? Wugensheng, what you're saying makes it sound like such a person really exists," Duanmu Yingqi said.

"Hahaha, who knows?"

Zhou Sheng paused, then followed.

……

Inside the cave, Guan Yi found the two conspicuous footprint mechanisms that seemed to have nothing else unusual. He channeled his Qi into the Yongquan acupoint of the footprint mechanism, opening the underground passage leading to the Nine-Bend Winding Cave, and jumped inside.

Once Wugensheng leads him to the approximate location of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley, Guan Yi will no longer need Wugensheng's guidance for the rest of the journey.

The plan to add an extra round of training seems to have a bug. Originally, it was only in the third stage of the plan, the point-to-point assistance plan, that Guan Yi was guided to 'explore the extraordinary skills' and learn the eight extraordinary skills.

However, after 105 years of training in the Wuhou Qimen, and by drawing on the unique skills of Dan Shi and Reverse Life Triple, Guan Yi, though not a top genius, has taken this step on his own!
At this moment, his center was not fixed at his feet, but at his heart.

Transform me into king, and control time.

He had mastered, and even surpassed, the 'Feng Hou Qi Men', even before the Eight Extraordinary Techniques were created!
