Under One Person: Since I am alone, I can dominate the world

Outside the cave, another bolt of lightning struck down, illuminating everything with a bright light.

At this moment, the Taoist priest suddenly opened his eyes.

Rumble!

Amid the thunder, Zhang Taichu regained consciousness and woke up from a meditation that lasted for nearly half a year.

"Xuantian Qi Fa, seventh level, first order!"

Zhang Taichu spoke in a low voice, his eyes glowing brightly, pushing the Xuantian Qi Fa across a major hurdle, from the sixth level to the seventh level.

All this took him decades.

"After seventy years, I have fallen in love with this place more and more." Zhang Taichu whispered with emotion in his eyes.

Since the end of the Jiashen Rebellion seventy years ago, he has been sitting alone in this cave in seclusion.

In the words of his master, success will be achieved when one can restrain the monkey in one's heart, bind the wandering dragon, and see one's true nature.

He stayed in this cave for seventy years. Although he did not understand much about the enlightenment of the mind as mentioned by his master, he gained something in the end, and his mood became much calmer.

During these seventy years, it was the Xuantian Qi Fa that made breakthroughs one after another, from the initial fifth level to the first level, crossing twenty bottlenecks to the current seventh level.

The further you go, the harder it is to break through, but the greater the rewards.

He could feel that the foundation of his life had now been built extremely solid and was much stronger than he was seventy years ago.

The most intuitive manifestation is his facial features.

Not only did he not age during these decades, but he remained youthful with every breakthrough in his martial arts.

This is not just youthfulness in appearance, but the vitality that emanates from the inside out.

"If I continue to practice like this, will I be able to achieve immortality one day?" Zhang Taichu murmured to himself, wondering if that would count as becoming an immortal.

"Forget it. I have been in seclusion for nearly a year. I have already made a breakthrough in the Xuantian Qi Fa. If I continue to sit there, I am afraid I will not gain anything in a short time."

"Let's go out for a walk."

As Zhang Taichu spoke, a golden light flashed at his fingertips, and the long hair that was scattered on the ground was cut off by Ying Nian, and the long beard around his mouth was also cut off completely.

He stood up, brushed his sleeves, and walked to the edge of the cave.

The dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and the sun shone through, illuminating his handsome face.

"Today is a good day." Zhang Taichu narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying the long-lost sunbath.

But at this moment.

There were faint sounds of movement coming from the direction of Longhu Mountain further away.

Zhang Taichu turned his head and wondered what day it was that the back mountain was so lively.

"Go and have a look."

As he thought about it, he took a step forward and disappeared on the spot.

-

at the same time.

Behind Longhu Mountain, in the open space in front of the martial arts arena.

More and more people gathered here. They were of different ages, mostly young people, and dressed in different clothes, most of them fashionably.

But what is the same is that they all emit a faint and perceptible Qi from their bodies - this is a grand event in the world of aliens.

At this moment, a young man had glowing eyes and was looking at several figures in front of the martial arts field with fanaticism and reverence.

"The big bosses of the Wang, Lu, and Lu families, Wang Ai, Lu Ci, and Lu Jin, as well as the president of the Tianxia Association, Feng Zhenghao, are all here!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and was very excited to see the senior whom he had admired for a long time.

There were several figures headed by the old Heavenly Master Zhang Zhiwei, including some textbook-level living fossils, who were truly powerful figures in the world of extraordinary people.

They are all among the top ten leaders in the alien world!

-

At this time, the old Heavenly Master Zhang Zhiwei, accompanied by his disciple Zhang Lingyu, was receiving the guests in an orderly manner.

"Please take some time out of your busy schedule to come and watch the Luotian Grand Ceremony at Mount Longhu."

Zhang Zhiwei looked at them and nodded slightly to them.

"Well, I'm just here to join in the fun with the younger generation in my family." Lu Jin said bluntly, pointing to the young girl next to him who was hugging his arm.

The girl was wearing cool short-sleeved shirt and shorts, looking playful and cute.

"The granddaughter of the old Lu family has grown up so big." A short and fat old man smiled and looked very kind. He is the current head of the Wang family, Wang Ai.

However, Lu Jin ignored Wang Ai's words. Even his granddaughter Lu Linglong looked absent-minded.

When Wang Ai saw this, he was not surprised or angry, and still had a kind smile on his face.

-

At the same time, in the vast open space outside the martial arts arena.

Zhang Taichu followed the noise and came here. Seeing the lively scene that seemed like a different world, he felt fresh for a moment.

"Is this the Luotian Grand Ceremony?"

Zhang Taichu guessed the activity, but when he saw the sparse figures in the center of the martial arts field, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

Chapter 8: Silence

Zhang Taichu took a step forward, walked into the crowd, and headed straight towards the center.

Along the way, the young people around me were shouting excitedly or whispering about something.

"That must be President Feng of the Tianxia Association, right? He established his career in middle age and was able to rank among the top ten leaders. He is truly a great hero!"

"Yes, after this Luotian Grand Ceremony, I also want to join the Tianxia Association."

"Mr. Lu is so handsome even at his age, ahhhh!"

"I heard that Mr. Lu has given out Tongtian Lu, one of the Eight Great Skills, as a prize for the winner of this Luotian Grand Ceremony!"

"Eight Wonderful Techniques, what are those?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, those standing in front are all the most powerful people in my alien world. When can I be like them?"

The crowd discussed excitedly, excitement showing on their faces.

In addition to the regular sacrificial process, the Luotian Grand Ceremony also arranges competitions among the younger generation. It is destined that many people will stand out in this competition and become famous. They are more likely to gain the favor of the big guys and thus get opportunities.

Zhang Taichu said nothing, but just walked through the gaps between the crowd and headed forward.

He had just come out of retreat and he saw someone who annoyed him, which really made him feel a little bad.

There were crowds of people on both sides, and it seemed that no one noticed him. Even if someone was attracted by his extraordinary appearance, they would just look at him twice.

The place where Zhang Chulan and others are.

When Zhang Taichu walked past them, Feng Baobao turned her head. Her keen innate perception made her subconsciously look in the direction of Zhang Taichu, and she blinked at his back.

Wang also turned his head and was attracted by Zhang Taichu's temperament. He made a gesture casually, thinking deeply in his heart, and realized that the other party was different.

-

At the front desk, a group of bigwigs were still talking.

After all, it was a grand event of this kind, and people would not deliberately make the situation awkward, so they all maintained a calm and enthusiastic appearance.

Even Lu Jin temporarily suppressed his grudges for the sake of Zhang Zhiwei and was willing to have a few words with Wang Ai, Lu Ci and others.

As for the Heavenly Master Zhang Zhiwei himself, he always maintained a peaceful attitude and was polite in dealing with people.

After he took over the responsibility of Heavenly Master from the previous Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, his master Zhang Jingqing, he realized the weight of the burden and understood the contradictions and entanglements his master had gone through.

Many times, what you see is different depending on the angle you stand at.

"This is my great-grandson Wang Bing. He also participated in the Luotian Grand Ceremony this time. You younger generations can have more exchanges with each other." Wang Ai continued, hugging the younger generation behind him and bringing him to the crowd to face Lu Linglong.

He was a man with yellow shaggy hair and a defiant face. In his narrow eyes, there was an indelible sinister look.

He did not bow to the big guys, but instead glanced at Lu Linglong with some contempt and snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Lu Linglong crossed her arms over her chest and did not respond to Wang Bing's good look.

Wang Ai did not make any comment on this, nor did he blame his great-grandson, as if he was used to it.

Lu Jin frowned, thinking that the boy Wang Bing in front of him was in line with the style of the Wang family, a piece of rotten cotton.

The atmosphere fell into a subtle silence.

At this time, Wang Ai spoke again, with a kind smile on his face, like a Maitreya Buddha: "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, our younger generations have grown up. One day they will replace us old men."

Lü Ci, who had a long scar on his face, continued with a sigh: "Yes, old friends are getting old and dying one by one, and now they are becoming more and more withered."

But at this moment.

A clear voice suddenly came from the crowd.

"Those who should be alive are dead, while those who should be dead are still alive. It is really frustrating."

The sound was not loud, but it could be clearly heard by everyone, including Wang Ai and others, causing their faces to freeze.

This sentence is clearly a continuation of what they said, and it is even more of an insult!

On Lu Ci's scarred face, red light flashed in his eyes, and he did not hide his anger at all.

Wang Ai narrowed his eyes, feeling confused, but his face did not reveal much emotion.

On the contrary, the Heavenly Master Zhang Zhiwei, who had been always calm, suddenly opened his eyes, which had been half-closed, and revealed a gleam of light, when he heard the voice clearly. He was actually unusually excited.

This voice might not be heard twice in the whole year, but he knew very well who it was!

Beside him, Zhang Lingyu, who had been silent the whole time, reacted even more violently. He turned his head straight and looked towards the direction where the voice came from, unable to hide the joy on his face.

Sure enough, a familiar figure walked among the crowd.

He was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, with long loose hair and a handsome face, but there was a coldness in his eyes - it was Zhang Taichu!

"Perhaps some youngster offended me unintentionally. Heavenly Master, why are you so anxious?" Lu Jin continued to speak, not seeming to care much.

But at this moment.

Zhang Lingyu's somewhat excited voice rang out: "Uncle Taichu!"

Zhang Lingyu called out, walked quickly towards Zhang Taichu, and bowed in front of him: "Lingyu, meet Uncle Master!"

Looking at Zhang Lingyu in front of him, Zhang Taichu's eyes softened a little, and he helped him up with one hand: "No need to be polite."

Immediately, he took another step and walked towards Wang Ai and the others in front of the stage.

???

!!!

Taoist Lingyu’s uncle?

This scene instantly made the entire Luotian Grand Ceremony become silent in the blink of an eye.

Even the big guys who were speaking on the stage fell silent immediately.

Everyone stared with eyes wide open, looking towards the front of the venue in disbelief.

"Am I seeing things right? Master Lingyu calls someone who looks younger than him "Uncle Master"?

"Zhang Lingyu's uncle? That means he is the junior fellow apprentice of the old Heavenly Master?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Common sense says that it is more credible for you to say that I am the grandson of Lingyu Zhenren than to say that he is the junior brother of the old Heavenly Master!"

"But this is what Lingyu Zhenren said himself!"

After being surprised, everyone began a heated discussion, like a boiling boiler, while at the same time not forgetting to pay close attention to the situation on the field.

At the same time, compared with the people off the stage, the ones who seemed more out of control and excited were the big guys in front of the stage.

Almost at the moment when they saw Zhang Taichu's appearance clearly, Wang Ai and Lu Ci's faces changed drastically in an instant, revealing expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

Their first reaction was filled with fear that was visible to the naked eye!
