Wugensheng must have glimpsed a corner of the true "Dao" from the fragments of memory left by that unknown old man in the winding cave.
It was precisely because they saw that true "sea of stars" that they developed such a huge and subversive understanding of the cultivation system in the current world of supernatural beings.
This is a form of dimensional reduction attack.
It's like a paper doll that has always lived in a two-dimensional plane suddenly seeing the tip of the iceberg of a three-dimensional world.
All the knowledge he was once proud of would collapse in an instant.
"so……"
Zhang Yunyuan looked at him and slowly spoke.
"You called me here just to tell me this?"
"of course not!"
Unfounded emotions come and go quickly.
He sat down again, the fervor on his face gradually fading, replaced by a deeper, more resolute expression.
"I called you here to invite you to come with me to that place again."
He looked at Zhang Yunyuan, his eyes gleaming with a light that seemed to be called "ambition".
"Behold what the true vastness of the universe is like!"
Chapter 83 Revisiting Panhuan Cave, The Change in the Qi Pattern
Wugensheng's invitation was filled with an irresistible temptation.
Zhang Yunyuan nodded in agreement almost without hesitation.
He was also filled with curiosity about that so-called "sea of stars".
More importantly, he wanted to know what new discoveries Wugensheng had made in the winding Nine-Bend Cave.
The two did not linger in Chang'an for long.
After settling Mei Jinfeng and Feng Baobao at the Eight Immortals Palace, Wugensheng set off again with Zhang Yunyuan to the mysterious Twenty-Four Heavenly Valley.
Returning to this familiar place, my state of mind is completely different.
With the Cave Heaven Ring this time, Zhang Yunyuan no longer needed Wugensheng to guide him and could find the entrance on his own.
When the two stepped into the valley shrouded in natural Qi again, Zhang Yunyuan's feelings were countless times clearer and more profound than the last time.
With his peak cultivation level as a hero and the extraordinary perception of "Qi" brought by the "Eight Phases Dao Seed", he sensed the difference of this place almost the instant he stepped into the valley.
The natural energy flow within the valley appears to have been artificially altered.
Although the original sense of chaos, with the five elements reversed and yin and yang inverted, still exists, there is now a faint, yet strongly guiding, sense of order within this chaos.
It was as if an unseen hand was manipulating these violent energy flows in the dark, causing them to follow a certain trajectory beneath the chaotic surface.
The entire Qi situation has become more dangerous and more... interesting than before.
"felt it?"
Looking at the thoughtful expression on Zhang Yunyuan's face, Wugensheng noticed that Zhang Yunyuan's expression was not as smug as usual, but rather showed a deep contemplation.
"After returning from the Nine-Bend Cave last time, I suddenly realized something."
"It seems that the original owner of this place did not die, but simply left."
"Do you think he might have left similar rings elsewhere?"
"What if one day, someone else finds this place?"
Wugensheng pointed to the seemingly peaceful but actually dangerous forest ahead, his expression serious.
Zhang Yunyuan opened his mouth as if to say something, but the restrictions in his mind started to kick in again, and he was completely unable to say anything more. He could only nod in agreement.
"But now, even if someone has obtained the Cave Heaven Ring, without our Qi Transformation Techniques, entering with just the ring would be a dead end."
“I slightly altered the original natural energy flow at the entrance of the valley and added some ‘ingredients’ to it.”
“Now, without guides like you and me leading the way, those who rashly barge in will encounter two completely different situations.”
"If an ordinary person were to enter, the chaotic energy within this Qi formation would act like a key, forcibly unlocking the 'lock' within him, activating the latent superpowers in his bloodline, and allowing him to ascend to the heavens in one step, becoming an extraordinary being."
"What if the person who enters is an extraordinary individual who already possesses Qi..."
Wu Gensheng's lips curled into a mischievous smile.
"Then he's really in deep trouble."
“This energy field will continuously force external energy into his body, and he cannot dissipate or transform this chaotic energy like we can.”
There can only be one final outcome.
He made an explosion gesture.
"It was burst apart by the ever-expanding Qi, and died without leaving even a trace."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunyuan was secretly astonished.
This method is truly domineering and ruthless.
"Aren't you afraid that even I will be overwhelmed by your 'test'?"
Zhang Yunyuan asked, half-jokingly.
"Haha, others might, but you definitely won't."
Wugensheng patted him on the shoulder, his eyes full of confidence.
"You and I are essentially the same kind of people. The rules that can confine others cannot confine us."
He was right.
As Zhang Yunyuan slowly circulated the Primordial Dao Qi within his body...
His body seemed to form an independent, self-contained miniature universe.
The surrounding energy streams were so violent and chaotic that they could tear even a top-tier expert to shreds.
The moment they came within three feet of his body, it was as if they had encountered an invisible black hole, being silently swallowed, decomposed, and assimilated, ultimately transforming into the purest energy and merging into his dantian.
The entire process was smooth and effortless, without the slightest hesitation or strain.
The elaborate scheme devised by Wugensheng, which was enough to trap even the most skilled and powerful warriors, was utterly ineffective in his presence.
Zhang Yunyuan seemed to realize something.
Since the two emerged from seclusion after achieving enlightenment, Wugensheng discovered that he possessed different abilities, but he never told him.
Wugensheng probably guessed something, but he wasn't sure.
I invited myself here partly to verify my guesses.
Judging from Wugensheng's expression now, he should have already verified it.
Even if you don't know your own abilities, you can still guess roughly.
Wugensheng is truly an exceptionally intelligent and extraordinary person.
The two traveled without hindrance and soon arrived at the "What is the Cave of Men" again.
"Strange, where is that white ape?"
Zhang Yunyuan frowned slightly; he could no longer sense the other party's Qi.
"Stop looking for it."
Wugensheng sighed: "Ever since I altered the Qi here, it went berserk, and I had no choice but to kill it."
Zhang Yunyuan's eyelids twitched; he noticed that Wugensheng's temperament seemed to have changed somewhat.
It's noticeably different from when I first came to Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley.
The two traveled without hindrance and soon arrived at the "What is the Cave of Men" again.
Passing through the familiar cave and around the still-sleeping white ape, they finally arrived at the hidden spiral stone steps located at the deepest part of the cave.
"This is it."
Wugensheng stopped in his tracks, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"My real discovery was at the very deepest part of this winding, meandering cave."
The two of them walked down the stone steps.
Zhang Yunyuan sensed it immediately.
The atmosphere in this cave was more vibrant and more... welcoming than when he last visited.
The lingering echo of Daoist essence originating from an ancient powerful being seemed to have sensed the presence of a kindred spirit, leaping and swirling joyfully around him, eager to get close to him.
Soon, they arrived at the huge circular stone chamber.
In the center of the stone chamber, the ancient circular energy center still lies there quietly.
Zhang Yunyuan walked to the center of the stone chamber, looked at the ancient circular Qi formation, and with a thought, slowly began to circulate the Hunyuan Dao Qi within his body.
Almost instantly, the Qi pattern in the entire stone chamber seemed to come alive, resonating strongly with him.
From that active Qi formation, he sensed a power that shared the same origin as the "Eight Phases Dao Seed" he had just acquired.
Zhang Yunyuan tried to sense it more deeply, but found that this power was not a whole, but rather scattered like stars in the sky, echoing each other and forming an incredibly vast and profound system.
With his own strength alone, it seemed he could only light up one insignificant star, unable to see the whole picture.
He suddenly realized that this opportunity seemed to require the combined efforts of several people to be realized.
"Do you feel it?"
Wugensheng watched the changing expressions on his face, his eyes flashing with a "just as I thought" light.
"There is an immense opportunity hidden within this Qi formation, but with the strength of the two of us, we are still too insignificant to make any move at all."
He looked at the enormous Qi formation in the center of the stone chamber, his eyes burning with an almost frantic desire for the unknown.
"I want to gather more like-minded people, all the extraordinary individuals in the world who are unwilling to be ordinary and dare to seek the truth, to come here and comprehend it together!"
"Yun Yuan, if we join forces, we will surely be able to unlock the final secret of this place!"
