"A secret that could overturn the entire world of supernatural beings!"
Chapter 84 Mortals Ask the Way, Weakness is a Sin
Zhang Yunyuan looked at the circular Qi formation in front of him, and then at the man beside him with a fanatical gaze.
Wugensheng's ambition was like a raging fire, threatening to set the deep stone chamber ablaze.
"Summon extraordinary individuals from across the land?"
Zhang Yunyuan spoke softly, voicing the question that had been on his mind.
"Just to untangle this Qi barrier?"
Wugensheng shook his head, his excitement undiminished.
"It's not about unraveling, it's about comprehending."
He pointed to the ancient magic circle, his voice tinged with barely suppressed excitement.
"Yun Yuan, I have a premonition."
"What remains in this Qi formation is a wisp of true 'Taoist affinity'."
"If one can comprehend it, one can ascend to the heavens in one step, and one's strength will undergo a fundamental leap, far surpassing those worldly cultivation methods."
He paused, trying to describe the feeling in clearer terms.
"It's not simply a matter of increased Qi or stronger techniques."
"But rather... it allows you to touch upon the most fundamental rules of this world."
Wugensheng's gaze became distant, as if piercing through the thick rock wall and seeing another world.
The excitement on his face was gradually replaced by a complex and inexplicable sense of regret.
"Speaking of which, I'm reminded of Zuo Ruotong from the Sanyi Sect."
"That old man spent his whole life trying to master his bullshit 'Triple Rebirth Technique'."
Wugensheng sighed, his tone full of undisguised pity.
"He exhausted his energy and his entire life, and with my help, he finally reached that threshold, only to find that it was a dead end."
"Then, his Dao heart collapsed, and he literally died of anger."
Wugensheng shook his head, as if he felt sorry for the fall of a genius, but deep in his eyes there was a hint of condescending scrutiny.
"Tell me, isn't it a pity?"
"What he pursued his whole life seems so insignificant to me."
"He's like a frog at the bottom of a well, thinking that the patch of sky he sees is the whole world."
Wu Gensheng's voice was not loud, but every word he uttered was piercing.
"He, and the vast majority of extraordinary people in this world, are the same."
"They were in a small well, fighting to the death over who could jump higher and who could see more of the light at the well's edge, exhausting their entire lives."
His gaze returned to the Qi formation before him, and the fervent flame reignited.
“But we are different, Yunyuan.”
"We have the opportunity to jump out of this well and see the real vast ocean of stars outside!"
"We can be here to pursue a grander, more real power to change this chaotic world, instead of engaging in meaningless struggles for the sake of those frogs in a well!"
His voice grew louder and louder, echoing in the empty stone chamber, filled with a seductive power.
Zhang Yunyuan remained silent for a moment before finally speaking.
His voice was calm, like a bucket of cold water poured on Wugensheng's burning flame.
"This kind of fate is probably not something that everyone can easily obtain."
Looking at this mysterious and complex Qi formation, he thought of the chaotic and dangerous Twenty-Four Seasonal Valley outside.
"How many people can actually get this far?"
The fervor on Wugensheng's face faltered slightly upon hearing these words.
He then burst into a hearty laugh.
"Haha...hahahaha!"
Laughter echoed through the stone chamber, making one's eardrums ache.
"Well said! Absolutely right!"
He slapped his thigh hard, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration and praise as he looked at Zhang Yunyuan.
"You always hit the nail on the head!"
Wugensheng's laughter ceased, and his expression became somewhat inscrutable.
"You're right."
"This kind of fate is not meant for everyone."
He readily admitted it.
"This in itself is a test."
A hint of cunning appeared on Wugensheng's face.
"After I altered the natural energy flow at the mouth of the valley, it is now more than ten times more dangerous than when you and I last came here."
"Now, without guides like you and me paving the way, only one in ten thousand would have made it this far alive."
"When I bring people here in the future, I will first tell them about the dangers involved."
"Those who dare not come can only be said to be unrelated to the Great Way, lacking in wisdom, perseverance, and virtue."
He shrugged, his tone calm, yet carrying an almost cruel resolve.
“Weakness is itself a sin.”
"The weak have no right to pursue greater power, let alone change the world."
"They can't even save themselves, so how can they talk about saving others?"
Zhang Yunyuan looked at him quietly, his heart churning with turbulent emotions.
He finally understood.
Wu Gensheng, the seemingly carefree and playful leader of the Quanxing Sect, harbors such grand ambitions and such ruthless principles deep within his heart.
He wasn't looking for companions.
He was filtering out "like-minded people".
They selected those "extraordinary people" who, like him, dared to challenge all rules and possessed great wisdom and perseverance.
Then, lead them to overturn this old world.
"so……"
Zhang Yunyuan looked at him and slowly spoke.
"Your so-called 'gathering of extraordinary people from all over the world' is actually a massive 'qualification exam'?"
"And these twenty-four sections of Tongtian Valley are the examination hall?"
"You can say that."
Wugensheng grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
"And you and I, Yunyuan."
He reached out and patted Zhang Yunyuan's shoulder heavily.
"These are the first batch of qualified candidates in this examination room, and currently the only two."
Chapter 85 If Heaven won't tolerate me, I'll turn the world upside down!
Wugensheng's words struck Zhang Yunyuan's heart like a heavy hammer.
"Qualified person".
The three words he uttered were light and airy, yet they carried a bloody, ruthless chilling intent to sift through the masses.
A long silence fell over the stone chamber.
Only that ancient circular energy field continued to flow silently, as if witnessing two young lives embarking on completely different paths at this moment.
Zhang Yunyuan looked at Wugensheng, at his face which was contorted with extreme excitement, and felt a chill for the first time.
This is no longer ambition.
This is an almost insane arrogance.
Using the world as a chessboard and all living beings as chess pieces, he selects his so-called "kindred spirits" and then overturns the old world that he dislikes.
It turns out that the source of everything began at this moment, in this place, and with a crazy idea from the man in front of me.
An unprecedented sense of responsibility weighed on Zhang Yunyuan's heart.
He knew he had to do something.
Zhang Yunyuan's gaze was calm as he spoke again: "Last time at Tongba Mountain, I wanted to kill Li Muxuan, but you insisted on stopping me and saving him."
The Sanyi Sect and the Quanxing Sect fought a bloody war that resulted in countless deaths and injuries, plunging the entire righteous path into a bloodbath and causing immense suffering.
If you still insist on going your own way and forcibly changing other people's fate.
In the future, some may benefit from your help but suffer a fatal disaster, or their minds may become twisted, and they may use their power to wreak havoc on the world, causing the land to be shattered and rivers of blood to flow.
How will you bear this responsibility?
Upon hearing this, Wugensheng did not answer but instead asked a question, a hint of mockery, almost pity, flashing in his eyes:
Should the person who first lit the fire be held responsible for the raging fire that would spread in the future?
Should the first person to forge a sword pay for all the bloodshed in the world with their life?
