Golden light fell from the sky, but without causing the earth to collapse as imagined, it simply landed lightly on the ground, right in front of Gu Jiting.

A young Taoist appeared on the scene, grabbed his throat with one hand, and forcibly interrupted Daluo Dongguan's spell-casting process.

"Run, where can you run?"

"You are Gu Jiting. Who is the one in the cave?"

Zhang Taichu laughed, clenched his hands hard, imprisoned the figure in the cave in the air, and pulled it out easily!

Boom——

Along with the roar of rocks breaking, a white, chubby figure rolled out of the cave, holding a huge rock that was more than ten feet high in his arms.

He had already dug his five fingers into the boulder, looking as if he was determined to hold on to it, but he didn't expect that the foundation stone beneath him would also shift.

After appearing, the true identity of the mysterious man in the cave was finally revealed.

He is a fat monk whose age cannot be determined. Although he looks young, his eyes seem to be weathered.

"The Six-Storage Immortal Thief—Ruan Feng."

Zhang Taichu had a playful smile on his face.

"Hehe, I guess you are the Taichu Zhenren from Mount Longhu."

"Speaking of which, we are relatives. Huaiyi is my brother, and you are Huaiyi's junior fellow apprentice. So, we are brothers. Of course, I have to call you brother—"

The bald fat man Ruan Feng, unlike the deep and serious person he had been when chatting with Gu Jiting before, now acted like an honest and simple-minded fool.

Zhang Taichu smiled and said nothing.

-

Five minutes later.

"Wow, please stop smoking, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, ah——"

"You are not my brother, ah! You are my grandfather! Aho——"

"Don't hit people in the face! Ah!"

Amidst a series of ecstatic screams, Ruan Feng, who was hung upside down on a tree by golden chains, was now bruised and battered by the automatically waving golden palms.

About ten feet in front of the tree was a young Taoist priest standing with his hands behind his back, and at his feet lay Gu Jiting with his limbs tied.

The old man looked at Ruan Feng who was being beaten with a complicated look in his eyes, mixed with reluctance, entanglement, pain and fear.

Although the two of them were stubborn at first and unwilling to admit their identities, Zhang Taichu's words, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, were like a knife and easily tore through their disguises!

clap clap-

Amidst the loud explosion sound when the hard golden light came into contact with the flesh.

Zhang Taichu smiled happily: "Let me ask again, what did you mean by rescuing Wu Gensheng?"

"You won't tell me? If you don't tell me, you, my good brother, will be punished."

As he spoke, his mind moved and the speed of the golden palm swung much faster, causing the fat on Ruan Feng's body to shake like huge waves, and his screams suddenly became more intense.

The old man's eyes became more and more conflicted when he saw this scene. Even though he had previously wanted to ask Zhang Taichu to help him save Wu Gensheng's life, he became hesitant at this juncture.

"You damn old man, I'm almost beaten to death, could you please stop being so nagging, ahhhh!"

"No, how come Junior Brother Zhang Huaiyi is so unreasonable? He only hit me and not Gu Jiting. Woohoo—"

Ruan Feng, who was being beaten, was still screaming in agony. He stared at Gu Jiting with resentful eyes. When he turned to Zhang Taichu, he showed an expression of begging for mercy like a pug.

Zhang Taichu said: "You have cultivated the Six Treasury Immortal Thief. Even though you are old, you are still tough and can beat people with great force. You are not afraid of any accidents."

"Your brother is gray-haired and skinny. He might die in two whips... I was hoping to cooperate with you two, right? I am happy to rescue Wu Gensheng."

"After all, I promised my beloved disciple Feng Baobao that I would find her family."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Ruan Feng, who was being beaten, stop screaming, but Gu Jiting also suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Zhang Taichu in disbelief.

"Feng Baobao, yes, Feng Baobao is his apprentice now. How could I have forgotten this? In this case, he and Big Brother do have a relationship..."

"Hiss, this is really strange, could it be that Zhang Taichu can really see through what I'm thinking?"

The thoughts belonging to the white-haired old man spread out and were all captured by Zhang Taichu, who was maintaining his telepathy.

The latter had a look of understanding on his face, and focused his attention on Ruan Feng, who suddenly remained silent.

"Damn it, I almost forgot that my eldest brother's precious daughter is the disciple of this evil god."

"Damn you Gu Jiting, you made me take this beating for nothing, you must have done it on purpose!"

"Speak up, why isn't he speaking? Tell me the truth quickly. If this evil spirit continues to beat me, I really can't stand it!"

Feeling Ruan Feng's psychological activities, Zhang Taichu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him with a smile, which made him shrink his neck immediately, like a fat turtle.

"Ah, he looked at me. This look, can't be to silence me?"

"No, I can't help it, damn Old Gu, if you don't want to say it, then I will say it. Anyway, I'm the one who's being beaten..."

Ruan Feng gritted his teeth, trying to endure the tremendous feeling of pressure. His psychological defenses finally collapsed, and he planned to be the first to tell the truth.

"I said!"

The first person to speak in the silence was Gu Jiting, who was imprisoned on the ground. After some psychological struggle, he finally made up his mind.

The white-haired old man turned his head and looked at the young Taoist priest. He sighed and said, "You... can see through our thoughts, right? You used this strange magical power on me when we were on the cruise ship."

Zhang Taichu smiled and nodded.

Ruan Feng, who was hanging on the tree, suddenly felt a cold sweat on his forehead. He thought that all the complaints he had just made had been heard by the evil god in front of him.

For a moment, his throat rolled, and he recalled Zhang Taichu's half-smiley look just now. He immediately shuddered, and then suppressed all thoughts, desperately repeating in his heart:

"As expected of a real person, not only is he extraordinary and has powerful magical powers, but he is also very reasonable. He was worried that Old Gu's bones would be broken, so he beat me specifically. He is really kind!"

"I, Ruan Feng, am fortunate to have been educated in love by the real person's golden palm. It is my blessing..."

Zhang Taichu felt the other party's sudden change of attitude and the full desire to survive. He then glanced at Ruan Feng, who looked constipated, with a strange expression on his face, and said with a chuckle: "Okay, those hypocritical words, you are not disgusted, but I am disgusted."

"If you had explained the matter earlier, wouldn't you have suffered less physical pain?"

Ruan Feng forced a stiff smile on his face and nodded repeatedly.

Gu Jiting smiled bitterly: "The real person has the ability to read minds, so all secrets can't be hidden from you."

"Then I will tell you everything. I just want to ask you to go to a mysterious place and save my elder brother Wu Gensheng and a group of brothers, including Zhang Chulan's father Zhang Yude..."

"I, Gu Jiting, beg you to lend me a helping hand. I am willing to give you everything, even if it means having to use extraordinary skills!"

Even the most extraordinary skills can be offered with both hands.

When Gu Jiting said this subconsciously, he quickly realized that with Zhang Taichu's current level, even his miraculous skills might not be anything.

Zhang Taichu chuckled and said, "Forget about the strange skills. I just need you to tell me exactly what happened back then."

"What on earth did you do? What is the relationship between Feng Baobao and Wu Gensheng? And Zhang Yude... where is he?"

Gu Jiting nodded repeatedly: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

-

"Back then, under the leadership of Wu Gensheng, the thirty-five of us disciples from various sects and schools formed a sworn brotherhood in the Qinling Mountains. We were then led by our eldest brother to the legendary place where Zi Yang Zhenren ascended to heaven - the Twenty-Four Sections Valley."

"My eldest brother said that the place is weird and the Qi situation is complicated. If you are not careful, you will die suddenly, but he is not afraid."

"He has a strange magic that seems to be able to sort out and dissolve all true Qi, dissipate supernatural powers, and break through the Qi blockade of the twenty-four valleys."

"He led us in, deep into the valley, and after passing through several checkpoints, we arrived at the final cave."

"The four walls of the cave are all covered with Qi patterns. At that time, we didn't know the mystery. It was only with the help and guidance of my eldest brother that we began to decipher it."

"Also in the Twenty-Four Valleys, I met my eldest brother's daughter, Feng Baobao, whom I had mentioned before. Feng Baobao's temperament is somewhat similar to my eldest brother's, but she is much prettier and a very well-behaved person, but she is about to die."

"Big brother said that the deepest part of the Twenty-Four Sections Valley, that is, the Qi patterns around it, contains the secret of dragon-making, which can make ordinary people ascend to immortality in broad daylight. As long as we have a little bit of brains, even if we can't become immortals, we will be awesome figures in the alien world. He hopes that after we figure it out, we can work together to save his daughter. He said his daughter is still young and shouldn't die like this."

"It's a pity that the remaining 35 of us, who thought we were also well-known young talents in the alien world, spent many days trying but still couldn't figure out anything from the picture. Many of our brothers even vomited blood after seeing it."

"I knew the totem was weird, but I still wanted to try it, and in the end, they actually let me in..."

When Gu Jiting said this, his face was full of emotion, and then he felt his limbs loosen, and the golden chains that locked him collapsed at this moment.

Zhang Taichu said, "Just sit down and continue talking."

Ruan Feng, who was hanging on the tree, looked bright: "What about me, can you put me down too?"

Zhang Taichu: "Keep hanging."

Ruan Feng: “…”

After being untied, Gu Jiting stood up and bowed to Zhang Taichu, then dusted himself off and sat on a collapsed tree trunk. He continued, "Brother used his magic called Divine Spirit to sort out the patterns of the Qi in the cave, trying to make it as clear as possible for us to see. But even so, only eight people succeeded in deciphering it in the end."

"It's not right to say that I can see through it. I don't know why, but as I watched the pattern of the Qi Bureau, I really fell into it. It was like I came to another space with no boundaries. Even time seemed to have stopped."

"It was very comfortable to stay inside, and I felt warm as if I was being hugged by the girl from Cui Qinglou. At that time, a huge ball of light appeared in front of me, which was so boundless that I could not see the end."

"It's not appropriate to call it a big ball. It's like a big ball made up of tens of millions of small balls, like a mulberry as big as a mountain, emitting a milky white light. It rotates on its own and spins back and forth, moving away from me and approaching me, emitting an extremely vast aura. The specific feeling is hard to describe, just like, just like..."

Gu Jiting gestured with his hands, trying hard to search for the words to describe it in his mind, and finally realized the poorness of his language ability. He could only sigh and said, "That feeling was magical, and made me want to cry. It was as if my old mother who had passed away a long time ago climbed out of the grave, stood in front of me and smiled and greeted me. I couldn't help but cry."

"But at that time, a thought suddenly came to my mind. I felt as if my body was about to melt, as if I could never leave that place, and I felt as if I was about to be crushed... At this time, I suddenly heard the voice of Brother Wu Gensheng. He asked me to try to dig out that huge ball of light."

“Even though I had no idea what it was, I did it anyway.”

When Gu Jiting said this, he used his hands to make a "dig" gesture, as if he was digging his hands into a pile of sand, and then he said, "At that time, I was crying and digging my hands into the light ball. It was as if I had killed the mother who crawled out of the package with my own hands. I felt my heart broken."

"Then I felt that everything around me suddenly began to exclude me and knead me like clay, and then, I fainted."

"When I woke up, I had somehow mastered the Daluo Cave Observation."

After the white-haired old man finished speaking, he let out a long breath and seemed very uneasy.

Ruan Feng, who was hanging on the tree, also nodded at this time: "I saw the same thing as Lao Gu and the other six brothers. We used that ball of light and inexplicably mastered the eight magical powers."

“It feels like…”

Gu Jiting interrupted and said, "Thief, it feels like a thief."

"We took something from that ball of light that didn't belong to us, and we felt guilty."

“But after waking up, I was quickly fascinated by the magical power of Daluodongguan, and the guilt was buried deep in my heart.”

"I've always been curious about how Brother Wu Gensheng knew about this place. I also believe that he must know more about the truth about the ball of light, but he didn't say it, so we didn't ask."

"Later, after we had obtained eight kinds of strange powers, we, under the guidance of our eldest brother, began to revive the baby. Yes, we revived her, because in my opinion at the time, the baby seemed to be dead. She didn't speak or breathe, and her face was pale. She was indeed dead."

"But we saved her, and with the big brother's divine spirit, the nine miraculous powers combined together gave us the ability to reverse yin and yang, bring the dead back to life, turn flesh into bones, reshape the baby's body, reunite the soul, and recreate life... It was a unique feat in the world!"

"Later, when the baby came back to life, my eldest brother took her away. Before he left, he asked the eight of us to keep the secret, the process of obtaining the Eight Wonders, and the Qi Bureau Cave in the Twenty-Four Sections Valley."

"He said that using the dragon-making technique was ultimately unorthodox and against the will of heaven, but he would bear all the blame for the mistakes, until not long after... the Jiashen Rebellion broke out!"

Chapter 315: The sacred tree is a door; Breaking into the forbidden area; Another world

"The eight of us have always kept in mind what the eldest brother said, and we didn't reveal a single word even to the other 27 brothers."

"Later, my eldest brother left with the baby, and the Jiashen Rebellion followed. The major families persecuted us wantonly on the grounds that more than 30 of us had made friends with the Quanxing monster. However, most of the people were just coveting the power of the eight special skills."

"During this process, we brothers got separated and just accepted our fate. At that time, we really hoped that our eldest brother would come back. We felt that as long as he was still there, there would be hope for everything."

Gu Jiting spoke slowly, his eyes slightly red. He reached out and gently wiped the corners of his eyes, then sighed with emotion again.

Ruan Feng on the side continued: "We have no intention of being enemies with the major sects. We always believe that the real enemy is outside, not inside, because the one who covets the Eight Wonders is also the Sakura Island Nation at that time."

"Just when the situation was most critical, my eldest brother came back. He found me first and came to Nasen Island."

"A mysterious island that floats in the ocean like a ghost and belongs only to strangers. I had never heard of such a mysterious place at that time. Big brother is worthy of being big brother. He can always do some magical things."

"At that time, I was tired of the fearful life during the Jiashen Rebellion. After arriving at Nasen Island, I just wanted to live a good life and use my Six Treasury Immortal Thief to survive as long as I could. Being a cuckold wouldn't be bad, either."

"After that, the first ones to be picked up by the eldest brother were Lao Gu, Zhou Houzi, and Zhang Huaiyi..."

"A few days after the brothers reunited, my eldest brother suddenly took us to a place deep in the temple of Mount Nasen, in front of the sacred tree."

"The eldest brother smiled and told us that he named himself Wu Gensheng because he did not belong to this world."

"I asked him, since you don't belong to this world, where do you come from?"

"The eldest brother pointed at the sacred tree and said that the tree was not only a spirit, but also a door. Behind the door, there was a great danger that could overthrow the human world we were in."

"He said that by bringing his daughter out, he had fulfilled his wish, and the next step was to atone for the mistakes he had made."
