Chapter 159 Eight Extraordinary Techniques
In the valley representing the twenty-four solar terms, thirty-five people sat around on the ground.
The banquet included disciples from various schools such as Tiangongtang, Liangshan, Maoshan Shangqing, Tangmen, and Wudang, as well as female relatives of Zhuge Liang and even descendants of the Celestial Master from the Celestial Master's Mansion.
Although some of them had never met, they were now sworn brothers.
These thirty-five extraordinary people gathered here because of Wugensheng, and it was also because of Wugensheng that they became sworn brothers.
However, the conversation was focused on the extraordinary skills that eight of them had recently mastered.
"All eight of us have mastered our extraordinary skills, why hasn't Fourth Brother finished thinking yet?"
As Zheng Zibu, who had comprehended the Tongtian script, spoke, he glanced at the short, Taoist-robed man beside him, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing.
"Hehe, you big-eared thief, didn't you say before that your Body Source Flow was far superior to Fourth Brother's Divine Spirit? If Fourth Brother really comprehends something else, he'll probably surpass you again."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Huaiyi showed no concern whatsoever, simply replying, "That's not necessarily true."
"So what? Even if Fourth Brother has further insights, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the eight extraordinary skills, unique techniques, and supernatural powers we've comprehended are beyond the mortal realm."
When Zhou Sheng of Wudang spoke, his tone was full of arrogance.
"Even the most powerful and unique skills of ordinary sects are utterly insignificant compared to our abilities."
"The so-called arts of earth magic, talisman techniques, weapon crafting skills, and immortal mysteries are nothing compared to what we have comprehended: Spirit Binding and Commanding, Heavenly Scripture, Feng Hou Qi Men, and Divine Hundred Refinements. They are like children playing house."
Having grasped the essence of the Natural Body Flow, Zhang Huaiyi nodded slightly upon hearing this.
The eight supernatural abilities—Bodyless Source Flow, Spirit Binding and Commanding, Heavenly Script, Wind-After Strange Gate, Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements, Six Treasuries Immortal Thief, Dual-Handed Technique, and Great Luo Cave Observation—are each enough to drive extraordinary people in the world mad, their power far exceeding their understanding of supernatural abilities.
Unlike Zhang Huaiyi, Zhou Sheng's words caused many people at the table to change their expressions slightly.
After all, most of these thirty-six people are disciples of major sects, some of whom are future leaders, and several are highly respected in the world of supernatural beings.
Zhou Sheng's words were tantamount to a slap in the face to his companions who had not yet mastered the extraordinary skill.
Even among those who had mastered extraordinary skills, some felt that he was far too arrogant.
"Hmph, Zhou the Monkey, even though we've become sworn brothers, and you're considered my third brother, I still have to say a few words to you. Stop talking big. You look down on the world just because you've gained a little supernatural power; you're far too arrogant."
The speaker was a burly man with one blind eye, Gao Gen.
Unlike the others present, he was originally a member of the Quanxing Sect. Of course, he was originally a disciple of Yiqiliu, and his infiltration of Quanxing was solely for the sake of justice and to assassinate the evil people within Quanxing.
However, even he was impressed by Wugensheng after following him for several years, and recently became sworn brothers with him, becoming one of Wugensheng's thirty-five sworn brothers.
Zhou Sheng wasn't annoyed by this, he just shook his head and smiled: "Old Gao, I won't hold it against you since you didn't comprehend the extraordinary technique."
"I control the Feng Hou Qi Men, and all the cycles and changes of the heavens are in my grasp."
"Once I set the central palace, I can freely rotate the four plates within the Qimen Dunjia chart, and I can determine the time, space, and the interactions between the four plates."
"Even the sorcerers of Zhuge Liang's family are no match for me. Look, even Xiaodie didn't refute me. With such abilities, do you still think I'm being arrogant?"
Gao Gen snorted and replied, "Even so, you are still far inferior to that mysterious person who forced Xuri to surrender two years ago." He paused, his tone full of awe.
"That's truly a man who can shake an entire nation, impervious to guns and cannons, unaffected by any magic, able to cause mountains to crumble and the earth to split with a mere wave of his hand—ha, do you think you can compare to him?"
Upon hearing this, even Zhou Sheng, who possessed the Feng Hou Qi Men and was extremely proud, changed his expression. He swallowed hard, but couldn't bring himself to mention the mysterious expert for a long time. Even the other seven experts who had mastered the Qi Men fell silent.
The rumored scene was so shocking that many of them had seen the footage from the scene.
Even though their eight extraordinary skills are powerful, they still lack something in the face of that overwhelming, earth-shattering power.
If their supernatural powers are considered extraordinary and otherworldly, then that mysterious person is like an immortal himself.
"Speaking of this matter—"
Having mastered the Dual-Hand Technique, Duanmu Ying sighed softly, her tone full of regret.
"If only Mr. Kanglong of the Sanyi Sect could have lived until then, after all, it was only less than a week later. What a pity."
"How gratified he would have been if he could have witnessed the surrender of the Rising Sun and the restoration of his homeland."
She shook her head and said, "Besides, he spent his whole life seeking to reverse the natural order and become innate. Even if he were to be eradicated and knew that the path of the Three Ones Sect was blocked, if he were to see that person, he might not die in meditation."
"It's a pity that it was only a few days apart; life is truly unpredictable."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere changed. Everyone looked at each other, and then they all looked into the depths of the valley.
Two years ago, news of the passing away of one of the most outstanding figures in the world of supernatural beings in Kyushu spread throughout the supernatural realm.
The Sanyi Sect announced that its leader, Zuo Ruotong, had unfortunately passed away after a battle with Wugensheng, the leader of the Quanxing demons, and that the Sanyi Sect would henceforth close its gates to visitors.
Those present held a certain amount of respect for this former leader of the Xuanmen sect.
The culprit behind this was none other than Wugensheng, who had recently become sworn brothers with them. "Yes, it's such a pity."
Master Zhang Huaiyi, also hailed as one of the world's greatest masters, echoed in a low voice, "It's truly a pity that someone like Sect Leader Zuo couldn't witness the victory firsthand. If he were still alive, at least he would have a future, something to look forward to." "Hmph, if Sect Leader Zuo were still alive?"
Gao Liang's voice was clearly filled with anger.
"Ugh, it makes me so angry! If it weren't for that brat Li Muxuan and that guy Feng Yao, the Left Sect Leader wouldn't have left so early!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Huaiyi interjected with a laugh, jokingly saying, "Gao Liang, now that you've become sworn brothers with Feng Yao, shouldn't you call Wugensheng Fourth Brother according to the rankings? Haha."
Everyone chimed in with their own words, but Wu Gensheng remained silent, still deep in thought.
Although eight people have already mastered the extraordinary skills, and some have even reached the level of mastery, Wugensheng has yet to make any move.
"That kid Li Muxuan has disappeared without a trace since then, and we don't know if he's dead or alive," someone said.
"Alas, you don't know this. That kid held a ceremony to withdraw from Quanxing a month ago and was beaten half to death by his enemies," another person said.
"He quit Quanxing? That kid actually has the guts?"
Hearing this, everyone was moved.
Gao Gendao:
"I thought that kid was irresponsible and I was even thinking of killing him, but I didn't expect him to actually dare to perform this ritual."
The group chatted for a long time. Later, Feng Tianyang, who had mastered the art of binding spirits and commanding generals, and Zheng Zibu, who had mastered the Tongtian Seal and considered himself to have achieved great success, got up to say goodbye to everyone.
The group was about to leave when suddenly fog rolled in from the valley. Zhou Sheng's expression changed: "Something's not right. Why is fog suddenly rising in this Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley?"
