Zhang Chulan's thoughts were undoubtedly in vain.
Because even Tian Jinzhong and Lu Jin couldn't discern what was actually happening in the exchange between Luo Fu and Zhang Zhiwei.
The truth was, Luo Fu had pushed the Reverse Birth Triple Transformation to the realm of ascension, turning it into a profound Xuanmen inheritance that directly led to the Great Dao.
And Zhang Zhiwei, on the other hand, had pushed his life force to a shockingly terrifying level.
The dual cultivation of life force and essence, the golden light permeating every cell, had reached a terrifying degree of complete integration.
At this moment, the two of them were like the immortals in Taoist legends, dispersing into Qi and gathering into form.
How could Lu Jin and Tian Jinzhong possibly judge beings like Luo Fu and Zhang Zhiwei?
Unable to get the answer he wanted, Zhang Chulan had to turn his attention back to the arena.
At this moment, the arena was completely devoid of Luo Fu and Zhang Zhiwei's figures.
All that remained was a hazy, dispersing cloud-like white mist, mixed with golden light, and occasional flashes of azure lightning.
Although this process made the practitioners in the audience tremble with fear, the actual duration was not very long.
In fact, it only lasted a few seconds from beginning to end.
With an invisible force erupting from the arena, the golden light, lightning, and white mist instantly split into two, becoming distinct.
At the same time, the figures of Zhang Zhiwei and Luo Fu clearly appeared before the audience.
"One is the pinnacle, one is the pinnacle? This isn't just the pinnacle, they're practically living gods, and this Luo Fu, no wonder even the company had to contact us personally, how could we possibly deal with such a being?" Zhou Meng glanced at Daoist Yunlong beside him and said, "Yunlong!"
"Master," Daoist Yunlong said with a wry smile, "Are we going back now?"
Nodding slightly, Zhou Meng glanced in Wang Ye's direction and said, "Yes, Wudang Mountain can't get involved in such matters. Whether it's Realist Luo Fu or the Heavenly Master, the only thing Wudang can do is show respect and stay away."
Daoist Yunlong nodded in agreement.
Although Wudang Mountain was also a major Taoist sect, it was one of the sects most severely affected by the Jiashen Rebellion.
In order to protect Zhou Sheng, they were almost besieged by the practitioner world. Now, Wudang Mountain only had a few disciples left.
Wang Ye exposed the Feng Hou Oddity Door, and Wudang Mountain's expulsion of him was also a helpless choice.
After all, Wudang could no longer afford the cost of another Jiashen Rebellion.
Of course, the reason why Wudang Mountain had declined so severely was actually not only because it was besieged by the practitioner world for sheltering Zhou Sheng, but also because of the Feng Hou Oddity Door left by Zhou Sheng.
The Feng Hou Oddity Door caused almost all of Wudang's disciples of Zhou Meng's generation to fall into internal contemplation. Now that such a chaotic situation involving the entire practitioner world had arisen, Wudang might be at risk of extinction if it really got involved.
"But the company…" Daoist Yunlong looked at Zhou Meng with some embarrassment.
Zhou Meng smiled slightly and said, "Isn't there still little Yezi?"
Feng Zhenghao secretly groaned in his heart.
When he received this death order from the company, he had thought of various reasons to shirk and refuse.
But unfortunately, the All-Under-Heaven Association was different from other practitioner sects. As a loose alliance of practitioners, the foundation of the All-Under-Heaven Association was extremely weak.
Practitioners could accept the All-Under-Heaven Association's generous recruitment, and conversely, they could naturally accept the bribes of other families and sects.
The power was loose, and its own strength wasn't enough to suppress one side. Feng Zhenghao, as one of the Ten Elders, was only slightly stronger than that Ru Hu.
In this situation, when the company issued a death order, where could Feng Zhenghao find a reason to refuse?
Could it be that he really wanted to completely offend the company and let the All-Under-Heaven Association face a comprehensive blow?
Not only Feng Zhenghao, but also some people from other sects and factions who heard the exchange between Zhou Meng and Daoist Yunlong couldn't help but feel a bit envious of Wudang Mountain.
In the past, Wudang Mountain's strength was greatly damaged due to the Jiashen Rebellion, and many sects and families had secretly rejoiced.
But who would have thought that the saying "misfortune may be an actual blessing" would really be played out on Wudang Mountain?
Perhaps in order to weaken the jealousy of others towards Wudang Mountain, Zhou Meng coughed lightly and deliberately amplified his voice, saying, "Yunlong, you must know that we have no choice. Wudang Mountain has declined to this point, and besides you and me, there are few disciples who can be taken out. An old man like me, relying on the reputation of Wudang Mountain, can still bluff a bit, but if you really want me to fight someone, I'm afraid I'll be seeing the patriarch in three or two moves. Right now, we should focus on preserving the inheritance of Wudang Mountain."
"What Master says makes sense," Daoist Yunlong quickly nodded.
Zhou Meng and Daoist Yunlong's exchange touched the soft spots of many practitioner sects.
For a time, the thoughts of these practitioners were incredibly tacit. After witnessing the exchange between Luo Fu and Zhang Zhiwei, everyone dispelled the idea of risking their lives to fight Luo Fu because of the company's orders.
They couldn't possibly completely disregard the inheritance of their sects because of the company's orders, right?
In the arena.
After a brief exchange with Luo Fu, Zhang Zhiwei's aura was noticeably weaker.
Staring at Luo Fu, Zhang Zhiwei said, "Realist Luo Fu, you're probably ready to ascend to immortality now, right?"
"Compared to ascending to immortality, I'd rather evolve the Blessed Grotto into a celestial realm," Luo Fu said, stating his ambition without concealment for the first time in public.
The news that Luo Fu possessed a Blessed Grotto world was a secret to ordinary practitioners.
But the practitioners who appeared here were almost all persuaded by the company, explicitly or implicitly, to contribute. In order to get these practitioners to contribute, they had to understand Luo Fu's foundation.
Therefore, the news that Luo Fu possessed a Blessed Grotto was something that everyone in the audience already knew.
If Luo Fu only seemed to possess a Blessed Grotto.
Then ninety-nine percent of the practitioners in the audience would still choose to stand on the company's side, at most just going through the motions. At least there had to be a reason to deal with the government and the company, right?
But when Luo Fu elaborated on his intention to transform the Divine Might Grotto into a complete celestial realm.
The mentality of these practitioners could be clearly felt to have undergone earth-shattering changes in an instant.
What did a celestial realm mean?
Not to mention the Eastern practitioners, even the Western practitioners knew in this information age that the Eastern celestial realm was the Eastern divine kingdom.
And transforming the grotto into a celestial realm meant that Luo Fu had ascended the divine throne, instantly becoming the main god of a divine system from an immortal who had ascended to immortality.
In a monotheistic religion, Luo Fu was ascending the divine kingdom from scratch, igniting the divine fire, condensing the divine personality, and ascending to the divine position.
Even in the complex Eastern mythology system, Luo Fu would be enough to instantly become an existence like the Celestial Emperor, the Taoist patriarch, or the Buddhist Buddha.
Even if reaching this step was unimaginably difficult.
The practitioners present couldn't help but have some fantasies.
Perhaps… perhaps compared to cooperating with the company to target Luo Fu, they had another option.
The name and title of practitioners were enough to make people feel that they were anomalies in this world where ordinary people occupied the absolute mainstream.
Even if these practitioners each possessed incredible means and abilities, they could only hide from the public eye in the face of modern technology, unable to contend with it.
But now, Luo Fu's appearance had given everyone another option.
Especially Zhou Meng, who was about to leave.
Suddenly coughed and said, "Yunlong!"
"Master," Daoist Yunlong didn't think so much, he was simply shocked by Luo Fu's ambition.
After coughing, Daoist Zhou Meng said, "Go, go call little Yezi for me."
"This…" Daoist Yunlong hesitated for a moment and reminded, "Master, Wang Ye has already been expelled from the Wudang sect!"
Shooting a glance at Daoist Yunlong, Zhou Meng suddenly revealed a puzzled expression, saying with a bewildered look, "What? How dare you? Xiao Yezi is a rising star of our Wudang Sect. How dare you expel him from the sect?"
Daoist Yunlong was instantly stunned.
Not to mention back then, after Wang Ye exposed the Feng Hou Qi Men, who exactly in the Wudang Sect chose to expel Wang Ye from the sect without hesitation.
Just their master and disciple's exchange in the audience seats just now clearly showed that the entire Wudang Sect had chosen to remove Wang Ye from the Wudang Sect.
But in the blink of an eye, Daoist Zhou Meng denied it.
After being stunned for a while, Daoist Yunlong seemed to understand something. He nodded and looked in Wang Ye's direction, saying, "Wang Ye, you wicked thing, come over here."
Wang Ye, who was gathered with Zhang Chulan, Zhuge Qing, and others, suddenly heard his master Daoist Yunlong's voice.
Wang Ye pointed at himself in surprise, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
Seeing Daoist Yunlong's increasingly ugly expression, Wang Ye's heart stirred. He entrusted Zhuge Qing to Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, and others to take care of, and hurriedly came to Daoist Yunlong's front.
"Master… Daoist Yunlong." Wang Ye subconsciously wanted to call him master, but in an instant, he chose to change his words.
After all, Wang Ye's current identity was no longer a disciple of the Wudang Sect, let alone Daoist Yunlong's personal disciple.
"Wicked thing," Daoist Yunlong shouted angrily, "Do you want to deceive your master and destroy your ancestors?"
The actions of the master and disciple Zhou Meng and Daoist Yunlong of the Wudang Sect really surprised many old eccentrics in the audience.
In fact, the actions of Daoist Yunlong and Sect Leader Zhou Meng were simply too shameless.
Going back on their word and breaking their promises were things they had mastered completely.
Completely dumbfounded for only a brief moment, Wang Ye quickly understood. His face instantly filled with a smile, and he bowed and saluted, saying, "Master, wasn't I just worried that you would be unhappy?"
Nodding with satisfaction, Daoist Yunlong looked at Wang Ye with approval and said, "Wicked thing, have you used Feng Hou Qi Men in the Inner Vision to divine the Luo Fu True Man?"
This question instantly made everyone present prick up their ears.
In fact, everyone was curious about the existence that the company was targeting with such shady means, which could even be said to be uncharacteristic of them.
Unfortunately, ordinary divination methods were useless on Luo Fu. Even more, warlocks who entered the Inner Vision would suffer a backlash if they divined anything related to Luo Fu.
Even worse, many warlocks, when entering the Inner Vision to divine Luo Fu, either died on the spot or had their cultivation completely destroyed due to the powerful backlash, and even became vegetative.
Now, it is generally recognized that the only ones who might be able to obtain information about Luo Fu in the Inner Vision are probably the ultimate warlock inheritances, Feng Hou Qi Men and Wu Hou Qi Men.
Of course, the inheritance of warlocks is not limited to Qi Men. On the contrary, things like Plum Blossom Numerology and Six Lines Divination are actually types of warlocks.
However, Inner Vision Qi Men is undoubtedly the method that can obtain the most accurate answers.
Apart from that, Plum Blossom Numerology, Six Lines Divination, and even the more ancient Yarrow Stalk Divination, have all lost their effectiveness on Luo Fu.
Even using these divination methods to predict things related to Luo Fu would result in completely different answers every time.
Many people harbored extreme curiosity about Luo Fu.
Wang Ye's face changed instantly. His mind seemed to be thinking of something, and his eyes revealed a strong sense of fear and dread, saying, "Master, Grandmaster, there is great terror on Luo Fu True Man. Our Wudang Sect must not get involved."
At this time, the only thing Wang Ye could think of was that the only explanation for his master and grandmaster's change of attitude was Luo Fu's ambitious words just now.
To turn a Grotto-Heaven world into a true, supreme Immortal Realm?
How easy was that?
Not to mention anything else, throughout history, people who were said to have ascended to immortality were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Even whether the Immortal Realm really exists is still unclear.
In this situation, turning a Grotto-Heaven world into an Immortal Realm was undoubtedly wishful thinking and a whimsical idea.
Daoist Yunlong glanced at Wang Ye, pondered for a moment, and said, "Tell me first, did you see the future of Luo Fu True Man from the Inner Vision?"
Although he was extremely reluctant to publicize the future that he and Zhuge Qing had seen in the Inner Vision at great cost.
But at this moment, the person asking him was his benefactor, Daoist Yunlong.
Don't look at Daoist Yunlong always calling Wang Ye a wicked thing.
But in fact, Daoist Yunlong treated Wang Ye with extreme care. Even before, in order to prevent the Wudang Sect from becoming the target of public criticism, he had no choice but to expel Wang Ye from the sect.
Daoist Yunlong also secretly sent a message to Wang Ye, telling Wang Ye that if he really couldn't withstand the attacks of the world of eccentrics, then he should quietly come to Wudang Mountain. As long as he didn't openly seek refuge in Wudang Mountain, then Daoist Yunlong dared to protect Wang Ye at all costs.
Seeing Wang Ye's struggling expression.
He hesitated and didn't speak.
Sect Leader Zhou Meng said, "Xiao Yezi, Daoist Luo Fu probably doesn't mind you telling his story. As for those greedy and insatiable ambitious people, do you think they can deal with Luo Fu True Man?"
Wang Ye smiled bitterly. He wasn't worried about Luo Fu at all. He was worried about the world of eccentrics.
After seeing Zhang Chulan in the Inner Vision, Wang Ye was afraid that Zhang Chulan's choice would cause irreversible consequences. He didn't hesitate to go to Longhu Mountain in person to participate in the Rotaion Dajiao, getting involved in the trouble.
But he never dreamed that there would be such a big mine like Luo Fu on Longhu Mountain.
Compared to the trouble caused by Zhang Chulan and the Jia Shen Rebellion, Luo Fu was the real pit.
It's not an exaggeration to say that no matter how serious the trouble caused by the Jia Shen Rebellion and Zhang Chulan is, it will always be limited to the circle of eccentrics. The impact on ordinary people can be said to be minimal.
But Luo Fu is different. His every move, and even his thoughts, will affect the entire human civilization. One wrong step, and even tens of thousands of years of human development will be completely ruined because of Luo Fu alone.
In this situation, how dare Wang Ye casually reveal the various secrets about Luo Fu?
Seeing that Wang Ye had not spoken for a long time.
Na Ruohu couldn't help but say, "Daoist Wang Ye, no matter what your concerns are, my Xigu Pavilion can guarantee that no one will make things difficult for you."
With Na Ruohu's opening, for a time, the Seeking Truth Society, Tang Sect, Jianghu Inn, Shaolin, Dragon Gate Sect Baiyun Temple, Gezao, Maoshan, and other eccentric sects unanimously chose to guarantee Wang Ye that they would protect him from the harm of the world of eccentrics.
Under such unanimous circumstances, Wang Ye's face became more and more ugly.
He knew that it was no longer a question of whether he spoke or not, but rather a question of the future of the Wudang Sect.
After all, from the moment he and Daoist Yunlong had silently restored their master-disciple relationship, Wang Ye's every move was related to the Wudang Sect.
At this time, Wang Ye really wished that his master hadn't let him return to the Wudang Sect.
Daoist Zhou Meng, however, looked like a mischievous child, smiling more and more brightly, and said, "Xiao Wang Ye, don't be afraid, just say what you want. What did you see in the Inner Vision?"
While Wang Ye was still hesitating, not knowing whether to answer this question.
On the martial arts field, Luo Fu was showing a method that shocked everyone.
As for the image of Chi You, the most well-known is the towering giant formed by Luo Fu's white mist right now.
"The Lord of War, Chi You?" Zhang Chulan looked on in horror as the white mist became increasingly condensed. In this short period, the image of the Lord of War Chi You formed by the white mist had transformed from a vague impression into something resembling a white jade sculpture.
"The Great Demon King Chi You? Hu Zi, he… he really wants to destroy the world?"
Zhang Chulan's exclamation prompted Zhuge Qing to cough a few times, saying weakly, "Read less of that nonsense. Chi You isn't some Great Demon King. Since the Battle of Zhuolu, Chi You has always been a righteous deity, never a Great Demon King."
"But…" Zhang Chulan was clearly having trouble accepting this.
Thanks to the information age, the Chi You that Zhang Chulan knew had always been portrayed as a villain in mythology.
But he never expected that now, he would not only see his childhood playmate conjure up a Chi You Dharma form over two hundred meters tall but also learn from Zhuge Qing news that overturned his long-held beliefs.
Chi You is a righteous deity?
Just as Zhang Chulan and Zhuge Qing were conversing, the Chi You image, originally as white as jade due to the condensed mist, suddenly began to take on the color of flesh and blood, starting from the feet.
In less than a breath's time,
a gigantic Chi You Dharma form, over two hundred meters tall, seemingly combining the characteristics of both Luo Fu and Chi You, appeared vividly in everyone's sight.
In modern society, a giant over two hundred meters tall suddenly appeared.
Even though the San Yi Sect was located in the deep mountains, the mountains and forests of the southeastern coastal region were not particularly high.
This, in turn, allowed the two-hundred-meter-tall Chi You Dharma form to be faintly visible amidst the mountains, appearing even more sacred.
Na Du Tong Headquarters.
A two-hundred-meter-tall giant appeared out of nowhere.
This instantly alerted the Na Du Tong headquarters, which was already monitoring the San Yi Sect and Luo Fu, to this shocking scene.
Even beyond the country, whether it was the island nation to the east or major countries around the world, at this moment, the focus of spy satellites was all on the San Yi Sect's headquarters.
"Mad… utterly insane, this is absolutely insane." Director Su's voice trembled.
Indeed, the Chi You Dharma form presented to them through the satellite was truly too shocking.
That wasn't some modern technological creation, but a living giant with flesh and blood.
Such a sight was akin to a replay of the mythical era.
How could the Na Du Tong Company, which had always been committed to concealing the existence of espers from ordinary society, possibly cope with this?
Zhao Fangxu sighed softly and said, "This matter is no longer something our company can handle on its own. Notify the higher-ups. Also, have the espers gathered at the San Yi Sect take action. No matter what, the impact must be minimized. Otherwise, we will all face a military court."
While the Na Du Tong Company was hurriedly contacting the members of various factions who had gone to the San Yi Sect,
within the San Yi Sect's headquarters,
Luo Fu, who had manifested the Lord of War Chi You Dharma form, felt the moment he transformed into a two-hundred-meter-tall giant that countless strange powers from the entire world began to converge upon him.
Although this power came inexplicably, Luo Fu instantly understood its essence.
Faith.
Yes.
In the world of Under One Person, the power of incense faith exists. Even Quan Xing's Elder Xia Liuqing's signature move, the Persona Mask, which uses humans to impersonate gods, is a means of borrowing the power of deities, similar to a summoning ritual.
And Luo Fu, at this moment, felt that all the faith in Chi You around the world was rapidly converging upon him.
If measured by concentration, there was no doubt that China was the place where faith in Chi You was most intense. Within China, the southwestern region's faith in Chi You was particularly pure and immense.
Outside of China, faith in Chi You was somewhat scattered and unsystematic.
However, what caught Luo Fu off guard was that this faith also included the deity beliefs of war and weaponry, which originally belonged to other religions.
Ares of Greek mythology, Mars of Roman mythology, Tyr of Norse mythology, Skanda of Hindu mythology…
Even more unbelievable was that a large portion of the faith originally belonging to the Zhenwu Emperor of Wudang Mountain was also converging towards Luo Fu's Lord of War Chi You Dharma form.
It was as if, after Luo Fu displayed the power of the Lord of War Chi You, all the faith in war and weaponry around the world would be integrated and unified by Luo Fu's Chi You Dharma form.
During this process, the strength of Luo Fu's Chi You Dharma form was constantly increasing. Although the rate of increase slowed down after the initial surge, it never stopped.
Standing in front of Luo Fu, Old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei was stunned.
In his life, he had prided himself on being invincible. Before meeting Luo Fu, he had rarely encountered a worthy opponent. Not only was he invincible among his peers, but even among the older generation, there were few who could contend with him.
After accepting the position of Celestial Master, this invincible loneliness became Zhang Zhiwei's norm.
But only now did Zhang Zhiwei realize in horror that a freak like Luo Fu actually existed in the world.
Yes.
In Zhang Zhiwei's eyes, Luo Fu could only be described as a freak.
Everything about Luo Fu seemed too unreasonable.
For more than a decade, he had been painstakingly pursuing supernatural abilities during his studies, but upon awakening his innate ability, he had reached such an incredible realm in a short period.
No matter how one looked at it, Luo Fu seemed like a freak beyond comprehension.
Zhang Zhiwei had never seen anything like this before, and even in the vast collection of records from the Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master's Mansion over the past two thousand years, there had never been anyone like Luo Fu.
In history, the strongest esper on record, Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, was far from comparable to Luo Fu in Zhang Zhiwei's opinion.
Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, was undoubtedly the strongest esper who had ever appeared in China.
Of course, the more distant mythical era was not explicitly recorded in historical records and was not credible.
Without mentioning Luo Fu's Blessed Land of the Cave Heaven, which only existed in mythology, the flesh and blood Dharma form over two hundred meters tall that he was currently displaying,
even in modern society, was still incredibly impactful, let alone in ancient times when technology was underdeveloped.
If an esper like Luo Fu had appeared in ancient times, this feat alone would have been enough to overturn the primary and secondary relationship between ordinary people and espers.
The era dominated by ordinary people would be completely replaced by espers.
One must know that the abilities Luo Fu was currently displaying were not just for show.
Standing in the forefront, Zhang Zhiwei could clearly feel the immense innate Qi of Luo Fu's two-hundred-meter-tall Chi You Dharma form, which had become so immense that it could not be described in words but only be compared to the sacred.
The Lord of War Chi You in front of him was a god, a saint, an immortal… but definitely not human.
Looking up at Luo Fu, who was looking down at him, with a desolate expression, Old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei suddenly seemed to have aged.
Forcing a bitter smile, he said loudly, "Sect Leader Luo Fu, this poor Taoist concedes defeat."
Just as Zhang Zhiwei's voice fell,
a missile with a dazzling tail flame streaked across the sky, heading towards Luo Fu's direction.
In an instant, everyone in the audience became flustered.
Just now, they had all received news from the company, hoping that they would take action to curb Luo Fu's unrestrained behavior as soon as possible. The existence of espers must not be exposed to the eyes of ordinary people, and even more so, it must not affect the lives of ordinary people and the current stable social order.
But unfortunately, after learning that Luo Fu wanted to transform his Blessed Land of the Cave Heaven into a complete Immortal Realm,
almost all the espers tacitly chose to take a gamble.
Continuing to listen to the company meant that they could almost see the moment of their death in this life, but choosing to support Luo Fu meant that they might have a future with unlimited potential.
In this choice, where the contrast between winning and losing was so great, apart from Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, perhaps no one would choose to stick with the company to the end.
But now, they clearly hadn't given the company a response yet, but the company had directly played a big one.
