Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 193 All of you need to understand, the plan has changed.

Silence fell once again inside the cave.

Many people felt a sense of lingering fear, while others pondered and deduced the possible consequences with heavy expressions, yet they could not refute the possibility of such an outcome.

If someone else had said these words, they might have dismissed them as alarmist, but since the person in front of them was Zhuge Yi, it was difficult for them to question him, and they dared not question him.

Did we almost become unacceptable to the world?

“Thirteenth Uncle…” Tian Xiaodie called out, her face slightly pale, “I was wrong…”

"Wugensheng, you really are a bastard!"

Duanmu Ying thought of her family and her young husband waiting for her to return home, and couldn't help but curse, but she knew it was unreasonable; Wugensheng had brought them here to seek a divine destiny! After a long while, Zhang Huaiyi couldn't help but ask:
"Clan Chief Zhuge, is there really a destiny to immortality here? Wugensheng doesn't seem to have received any such destiny!"

"Really? Where is the path to immortality?"

"This is the cave?" Wei Shufen also said, "Is the legend of becoming an immortal true? No great Gu master in our Qinghe Village has ever attained immortality!"

"The Gu method won't work..."

"Who are you calling incapable?!"

"Quiet down, quiet down, let's listen to what Master Zhuge has to say!"

After the chaos, peace returned.

"Yes," Guan Yi affirmed first. "This immortal opportunity is not enough for you to attain immortality and ascend to heaven, but it is enough for you to take a big step on the path of cultivation, and at the same time... come into contact with some secrets."

This secret is likely known to most members of the Xuanmen sects whose elders have ascended to immortality, but they cannot speak of it due to a certain restriction. Other non-Xuanmen sects also mostly know of this matter, but they are unaware of the details. Therefore, their pursuit of this place will be far greater than you can imagine.

They'll do anything to pursue or keep this secret. I can protect Xiaodie, and the Celestial Master's Mansion can protect Zhang Huaiyi, but apart from them and a few other sects, I'm afraid very few sects would dare to protect you.”

"secret?"

"What secret?"

If Zhang Huaiyi, Zhou Sheng, and a few other direct descendants of major factions made any connections, Feng Ping would press them, saying, "Brother Zhuge, don't keep us in suspense at this point!"

"I don't know either," Guan Yi said with a smile.

"……what?!"

"My Wuhou Sect isn't a Xuanmen sect, how would I know?" Guan Yi laughed. "I only have some deductions. That secret is probably not set up to keep things to myself, but to protect the extraordinary people."

Do you want to know? If you do, figure it out right here!

"...Enlightenment?"

“Yes, Wu.” Guan Yi smiled and said, “I have explained the pros and cons of this matter. Next, I will write to the major sects and say that you have been summoned by me to work for me. In this way, I will take full responsibility for this matter and this place, and let all the covetousness and open and covert attacks come at me.”

In this way, I've saved you from dire straits, so I deserve some reward. No one is allowed to leave now; you all must stay in this cave and meditate. Meditate on this energy flow, this secret, this hidden place, and the true meaning of the 'divine connection' that exists here!
Those who have come to this realization are not allowed to remind each other; only what you realize yourself is a true gain.

When you reach a point of enlightenment, tell me what you have realized. Only after you have received my approval can you leave this place!

"..." Wu Gensheng raised an eyebrow.

Everyone was shocked.

Gao Gen said in a deep voice: "So, 'not being allowed to leave' means... in disguise, imprisonment?"

“That’s not wrong. Of course, you can try to leave if you want. If you have a way to slip away from under my nose, then you’re really something.” Guan Yi nodded with a smile.

"This..." Everyone looked at Guan Yi in astonishment, never expecting the renowned Master Zhuge to say such a thing. Wasn't this treating them as tools for enlightenment?!

"If you can't figure it out..."

"Then keep trying to understand."

"How could this be...?"

"Everyone," Zhou Sheng interrupted, "Don't forget one thing: if Mr. Zhuge wasn't brought in by Wugensheng, and doesn't have Wugensheng's divine abilities, his presence here means that he has already seen through the aura of this place."

Those who had already thought of it remained silent, while those who had just realized it were suddenly shocked.

Duanmu Ying opened her eyes wide and murmured as she looked at Guan Yi, "So it's beyond...beyond time..."

“That’s right. Mr. Zhuge doesn’t need any ‘fate to immortality.’ He can probably stand shoulder to shoulder with the ascended predecessors on his own. What we comprehend through so-called fate to immortality is nothing more than minor tips that are slightly beneficial to him. What he comprehends is ultimately his own.”

Feng Tianyang cupped his hands towards Guan Yi: "This is not imprisonment, but protection. Master Zhuge has stopped all the extraordinary people in the world from coveting the immortal destiny, and all we need to do is tell him what we have learned. Even if you consider this a transaction, all the extraordinary people in the world would probably be eager to do it."

“I understand, Clan Chief Zhuge.” Ma Ben also bowed to Guan Yi.

“Okay, fine…” Duanmu Ying sighed.

Zhang Huaiyi looked around the cave and began to understand.

Ruan Feng, looking completely unconcerned, casually asked, "Are you just going to try to figure it out by brute force? Aren't you going to give us any hints?"

Guan Yi looked at Wugensheng.

Wugensheng shook his head in astonishment. He had never imagined things would develop this way, locking everyone up here to comprehend their immortal destiny? This kind of unbridled behavior was even more like the Quanxing Sect than he was!
"Clan Chief Zhuge, how about... you become the leader of our Quanxing Sect?"

Guan Yi glanced at him sideways, and Wu Gengsheng quickly raised his hand with an embarrassed smile: "Just kidding! Just kidding! Everyone, we don't need Brother Zhuge to give us the hints. I told you from the very beginning! 'What is a person?' 'Sincerity'!"

"Hmm, it's still this one..."

"What is a human being?"

Seeing that some people had blank stares, some were racking their brains, and some were deep in thought, Guan Yi smiled to himself.

Cultivators value Dharma, wealth, companions, and location. He has no shortage of the other three, but as his cultivation becomes unparalleled, he is increasingly lacking in companions for cultivation.

Nowadays, apart from the elders of the major sects, probably no one is qualified to discuss the Dao with him. However, the elders of the major sects have lost the ability to continue their progress, and it is probably difficult for them to help Guan Yi reach a higher level.

So... you're all alone?
Then let's manufacture a batch!
Is his behavior like that of Quanxing? To be honest, given Guan Yi's current strength and status, the fact that he doesn't say "I don't eat beef" is already considered as staying true to his principles.

Since he already possesses unparalleled strength and has even spontaneously comprehended and surpassed Feng Hou Qi Men, why should Guan Yi follow the plan's path and only come into contact with the Eight Extraordinary Techniques in the third stage of the plan?
Why are there only eight types of extraordinary skills?!

The people before us can all be considered the pride of our time. If they hadn't been forced by circumstances to comprehend these 'extraordinary skills,' there shouldn't have been only eight of them!
How many amazing skills will one eventually acquire?
A dozen or more? Or even more than twenty?
Just then, the plan in Guan Yi's mind suddenly unfolded, and words appeared.

The recipient's growth rate exceeded expectations, leading to changes in the assistance plan.

The second phase of the targeted assistance program, "Visiting Distinguished Families," and the third phase, "Exploring Unique Skills," have been suspended and merged. A new integration phase, "Discussion on Unique Skills," is underway.

【Special Skill Discussion: Spend a large amount of money and life points to discuss and exchange ideas with masters of special skills. The first discussion requires 500 million yen and 500 life points, with the cost increasing with each subsequent discussion.】

After completing eight seminars, the final stage of the project proposal can proceed, and you can ascend to immortality!

"..."

The plan has changed? How could this be?
This proposal is...fantastic!
