Become a god by AFK starting from Naruto

"That's not quite right. It wasn't that I showed up at his side on my own initiative; rather, he kept pestering me to ask about his grandfather."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei's vigilance trembled like a plucked string on a musical instrument.

He keenly sensed that Xingliu seemed to indeed know some unknown secrets.

So he continued to probe:

"Oh? So, young friend, you know exactly what happened back then?"

There was a hint of urgency in his tone.

However, Xingliu did not say anything more.

There are too many mysteries in this world for him to understand.

After all, the original story hadn't ended before he transmigrated.

His purpose in coming here was very clear: to obtain the Tongtian Lu and Feng Hou Qi Men, and then seize the Liu Ku Xian Zei when Quanxing attacked the mountain.

As for other secrets and conflicts, that's not his world, and he doesn't want to get involved too much.

Xingliu's silence deepened Zhang Zhiwei's doubts.

He was almost certain that the person before him had some mysterious connection to what happened back then.

But just as he was about to take down Xingliu and find out what was going on, a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged into his heart.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time, but it felt so real now.

A chill instantly ran through Zhang Zhiwei's heart.

He knew that this sense of crisis was not unfounded.

If you do it yourself, you might end up in a situation from which there is no hope of redemption.

He wasn't afraid of death, but he couldn't risk Longhu Mountain and Zhang Chulan and the others.

His junior brother Tian Jinzhong, the future of the entire Longhu Mountain, and Zhang Chulan all prevented him from making any rash moves.

Just like in the original work, even an invincible being has weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

Although he once caused a great disturbance, demonstrating to the world his strength, which was vastly different from theirs.

But in the end, he chose to return to Longhu Mountain and no longer easily descended the mountain.

Xingliu also noticed Zhang Zhiwei's fleeting, sharp aura, but he did not regard him as an enemy because of it.

Ultimately, Zhang Zhiwei did not actually take action; he merely revealed a hint of his intention.

We can't prevent others from even thinking about it; that would be far too unreasonable.

However, Xingliu became somewhat interested in the old celestial master's strength and wanted to find an opportunity to spar with him.

Just then, a clear voice broke the silence.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in a Taoist robe bowing respectfully to Zhang Zhiwei.

"Wu Dang Wang Ye pays respects to the Celestial Master." The young man's voice revealed a hint of reverence.

Zhang Zhiwei looked at the young man in front of him and smiled kindly: "How did you know I was the Celestial Master?"

His words revealed a hint of curiosity.

Wang Ye raised his head and respectfully replied:

"Old Celestial Master is joking. Your photo is in the introduction section of Longhu Mountain."

Zhang Zhiwei laughed heartily upon hearing this and patted Wang Ye on the shoulder:

"Look at you all, so many people aren't as meticulous as this junior." His words were full of praise.

However, his expression changed slightly after that tap.

"Huh?" Zhang Zhiwei let out a soft exclamation, looking at Wang Ye with some surprise:

"You're so badly injured, yet you still came here to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony? Aren't you afraid of dying here?"

Wang Ye smiled wryly and said with some helplessness, "As expected of the old Celestial Master, he saw through my physical condition immediately. But I have something very important to deal with here today."

As he spoke, a hint of determination and resolve appeared in his eyes.

Despite the severity of his injuries, he did not seem to regret coming here.

Zhang Zhiwei narrowed his eyes, then looked at Zhang Chulan and Xingliu, as if he had noticed something.

He sighed softly: "What did you ask inside the room?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhang Zhiwei with disbelief: "How did you know?"

Zhang Zhiwei said irritably, "Your injury is the same as the one I had when I was young and asked about internal visions out of boredom, which led to a mistake. How do you think I know that?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at Zhang Zhiwei with some strange expressions, including Xingliu.

This was not mentioned in the original work.

This is not surprising, after all, although the art of inner vision is mysterious, for a talented person like Zhang Zhiwei, it may really just be a pastime when he is "bored".

Xingliu was curious about what the two of them had asked.

"Then can you tell me what you asked? I'll leave Wang aside, but I'm curious about the things the Old Master asked when he was young."

"Didn't you ask me what I know? If you tell me this, I can answer your question too."

Wang Ye was speechless. What did he mean by "he"?

He is, after all, a successor of the Feng Hou Qi Men lineage, and he has his pride too, you know.

Chapter 221 Feng Hou Qi Men

After hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei did not show any embarrassment or awkwardness. Instead, a joyful smile appeared on his face.

He laughed loudly, "Haha, you said it yourself. Someone as powerful as you wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"

He then recalled, "When I was young, I tried to explore the reasons for the sudden and dramatic changes in the world in interior scenes."

"However, I was dealt a heavy blow as soon as I uttered the first word and was forced to withdraw from the interior."

"Looking back now, I was incredibly lucky to escape back then. If I had spoken any faster, my grave would probably be overgrown with weeds by now."

He spoke quickly and urgently, as if afraid that Xingliu would change his mind.

After saying all this, Zhang Zhiwei stared intently at Xingliu.

"I wonder if my answer satisfies you, my friend?"

Although what Zhang Zhiwei said was no different from nonsense, it still revealed some information.

As the successor of the Celestial Master's lineage, the old Celestial Master no longer knows the reason for the changes in this world.

That secret is probably unknown to the whole world.

If the change didn't originate within the world, then it must be a change from outside the world.

This further fueled Xingliu's idea of ​​running away after completing the mission.

Upon hearing this, Xingliu raised an eyebrow and nodded, saying:

"Okay, you can ask whatever you want, but it's one-for-one, you can only ask one question."

Zhang Zhiwei stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then asked casually, "How much do you know about the Celestial Master's Order?"

Xingliu replied directly, "I have absolutely no idea."

Such a crisp and decisive answer left Zhang Zhiwei's hand, which was touching his chin, frozen in mid-air.

However, he quickly regained his composure, gave Xingliu a deep look, and nodded, saying, "I believe you."

Although Xingliu's answer disappointed him somewhat, he could still see a trace of sincerity and frankness in the other person's eyes.

Then, without waiting for anyone else to react, Zhang Zhiwei left, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air: "Everyone has to go to the bathroom, so this old man is going now."

Zhang Chulan watched the old Celestial Master's receding figure, raised his hand as if to say something, but finally took a deep breath and resumed his usual playful and smiling demeanor.

Wang Ye, on the other hand, seemed somewhat bewildered. He looked around at everyone present and scratched his head in distress.

He had come to visit the old master with a purpose, but he did not expect Zhang Zhiwei to leave so unexpectedly, leaving him speechless and feeling quite upset.

Just as he was feeling somewhat discouraged, Xingliu walked up to him and asked softly, "Are you Wang Ye?"

Wang Ye nodded subconsciously, then came to his senses and looked at Xing Liu, saying, "What business do you have with me?"

Xingliu smiled slightly: "It's nothing serious, I just wanted to borrow something from you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye glanced at Xing Liu in surprise, then suddenly realized and said, "You want to borrow money? I don't have any!"

Seeing Wang Ye's expression that seemed to say, "Are you trying to borrow money from me?", Xingliu couldn't help but feel annoyed.

He considered that Wang Ye was actually a wealthy man, and that people might have indeed asked him for money in the past, which explained his reaction, so he didn't hold it against him.

To avoid a repeat of the awkward situation, Xingliu decided to state his purpose directly:

"I'm not asking you for money, I just want your Feng Hou Qi Men."

Wang Ye was initially relieved to hear that it wasn't a loan.

After all, his father had cut off his source of income since he began practicing Taoism, while people kept coming to him to borrow money, which gave him some psychological trauma.

However, when he heard that Xingliu wanted Feng Hou Qi Men, he immediately became cautious.

“You’ve got it wrong,” he said, waving his hand. “I’m a disciple of Wudang Mountain. I only know how to practice Tai Chi. I don’t know anything about Feng Hou Qi Men that you’re talking about.”

His tone was calm, his eyes were clear, and he solemnly told the lie.

Xingliu wasn't surprised by Wang Ye's reaction.

After all, once the Eight Extraordinary Skills are revealed, their owners often become the object of everyone's struggle.

He fully understood Wang Ye's caution and prudence at this moment.

However, Xingliu didn't want to continue playing games with Wang Ye, so he directly used illusion magic to pull Wang Ye into an illusion space.

In this space, everything is the same as it was outside, just like a real world.

Xingliu blinked at Wang Ye, seemingly noticing something, and then revealed his appreciation.

He said, "Tell me, what are your conditions for giving me Feng Hou Qi Men?"

He paused after speaking, then continued:
