Lin Qiu, in front of him, was nothing more than a wastrel, whereas Lin Feng was seen as one of the talented disciples.
Apart from their blood relationship, the two were basically from different worlds.
After leaving the Council Hall, Jiang Changsheng was waiting for him outside.
"Get ready, we need to leave the Sect Gate in a while," Xu Zii said.
"Understood," Jiang Changsheng nodded and replied, "Then, senior brother, I will go and cultivate first. Call if you need anything."
After parting ways with Jiang Changsheng, Xu Zii returned to his own courtyard residence.
These days, Great Skies Peak seed much quieter as most of the disciples were practicing desperately.
Preparing for the Nine Heavens Festival, they had no ti to wander around the Sect Gate.
Upon returning to the courtyard, Xu Zii prepared to practice the Extraordinary ridian Manual.
The thirty-six Extraordinary ridians were scattered around the human body, reaching from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.
Although opening the Extraordinary ridians wasn’t as difficult as a Vein Gate, it still posed so challenges.
There are thirty-six Extraordinary ridians in total, with every five making up a Grand Circulation, resulting in seven circulations, which is to say, thirty-five Extraordinary ridians.
According to the Extraordinary ridian Manual, after the thirty-five Extraordinary ridians, one has essentially reached the limit of the manual.
As for the thirty-sixth Extraordinary ridian, it belongs to the realm of legends.
So say it was a fignt of the creator’s imagination and does not exist.
Others claim that opening the thirty-sixth Extraordinary ridian will lead to a new world.
In any case, there were many different opinions.
Leaving aside the last Extraordinary ridian for now, every five of these thirty-five Extraordinary ridians ford a circulation.
When opening a circulation, the last Extraordinary ridian is the hardest to open.
That would be the fifth, tenth, fifteenth, twentieth, and so on.
We call these seven most difficult Extraordinary ridians the seven great Chakras.
The seven great Chakras are, respectively, the Crown Chakra, Third Eye, Throat Chakra, Heart Chakra, Solar Plexus Chakra, Sacral Chakra, and Root Chakra.
Xu Zii originally thought that with his Divine King realm, opening the Extraordinary ridians should not pose any difficulties.
But at the mont, as he worked on the first Grand Circulation, he found himself stumped by the fifth Extraordinary ridian, the Root Chakra.
The power within his body could not impact the Root Chakra; it seed his Spiritual Energy could not enter into the Extraordinary ridian.
After being opened, the first four Extraordinary ridians, however, began to emanate a new kind of energy.
Xu Zii terd it Vein Qi; to open the Root Chakra, one must rely on Vein Qi.
Only when enough Vein Qi has accumulated can it be opened.
Xu Zii was not in a hurry; such things required a foundation, and his foundation was deeper than that of any peer.
eting a bottleneck with the Extraordinary ridians, Xu Zii simply started practicing his Vein Skills.
...
The night deepened, and all of Great Skies Peak fell into silence.
There was no moon tonight, and even the stars were hidden behind the clouds.
The originally overcast sky had cleared a bit, as if the dark clouds had dispersed sowhat, but it still looked nacing, ready to devour souls.
In the small courtyard where Xu Zii resided, the brothers Long Yidao were sowhat tired and chatting with each other.
Neither noticed a dark figure hiding in the shadows, swiftly climbing over the courtyard wall and into the yard.
This figure, using the wall’s shadow for cover, kept close to the wall as he advanced.
Soon, he reached the rooms of the courtyard and saw as he slowly opened a door, then turned around to silently close it again.
Step by step, he groped his way to the front of Xu Zii’s bed.
The longsword in his hand ferociously chopped down towards the bed.
With a "bang," the entire bed nearly split apart.
"No one," the shadow exclaid in shock and was about to leave.
Just then, the lamp in the room was lit, and instantly, the view brightened.
Xu Zii sat at the table next to the room, leisurely pouring tea from the teapot on the table.
"Care for a drink?" Xu Zii offered with a smile, raising his cup inquiringly.
"You..." Seeing Xu Zii’s calm deanor, the shadow grew suspicious and disregarded all else, swinging his sword again to attack.
Xu Zii slightly raised his hand, and an overwhelmingly powerful presence emitted from him.
It was as if a mountain collapsed or a tsunami surged; though he sat there, his figure seed tall and majestic.
It was as insurmountable as a grand chasm.
The shadow was suppressed on the spot, unable to move even a fraction of an inch.
He stared at Xu Zii in horror, his pupils sharply constricting, too shocked to speak.
Everyone in the Nine Heavens Imperial Sect knew that Lin Qiu from Great Skies Peak was an utter failure, his Vein Gates clogged and unable to cultivate.
Looking at the figure before him, the shadow felt it was astoundingly unfamiliar.
"I’m really curious, why, in the dead of night, here at Great Skies Peak, you can’t let be and even seek to assassinate ," Xu Zii said with a smile.
He walked step by step toward the shadow and slowly removed the black cloth covering the assailant’s face.
"It’s you," Xu Zii said with so surprise as he looked at the disciple in front of him.
This disciple was nad Yang Cheng and was also a disciple of the Great Skies Peak.
However, he was only an Inner Sect Disciple, and with nearly ten thousand of them, one might wonder how Xu Zii could recognize him.
The specific reason was that this Yang Cheng had followed Lin Feng, the forr occupant of his body, three years ago and had played the role of a lackey.
Usually, whatever Lin Feng needed doing was carried out or conveyed by this very Yang Cheng.
"So, tell , why do you want to kill ?" Xu Zii indifferently inquired.
Yang Cheng snorted coldly, turned his head away, and ignored Xu Zii.
"Was it my dear brother who sent you?" Xu Zii continued asking.
Yang Cheng remained silent.
"Have you ever experienced what hell feels like?" Xu Zii asked with a smile.
Yang Cheng glanced at Xu Zii, a trace of confusion in his eyes.
"No matter, we have plenty of ti to play," Xu Zii waved his right hand.
He directly transported the other party into the eighteenth level of the True Fate World’s Hell.
"I pay my respects to my Lord," Bai Changfeng, the God of Slaughter and current Lord of Hell, promptly ca forward to pay homage.
"How do you find the place?" Xu Zii asked.
"The foundations of Hell have been established. We are still perfecting the systems of judgnt for good and evil. I plan to recruit so Ghost Soldiers soon to assist in managing this place," Bai Changfeng reported.
"I have soone here for you. I want to know all his secrets in three days," Xu Zii tossed Yang Cheng over to him.
"Rest assured, my Lord, no matter how formidable, no one has ever lasted a day under my watch. They beg for life and plead for death," replied the Lord of Hell with a sowhat bloodthirsty smirk.
"What are you going to do?" Yang Cheng finally panicked.
He yelled, "Where is this? If I go missing, the Imperial Heir will never forgive you."
…
After leaving the True Fate World, Xu Zii found that the affairs of his predecessor were becoming increasingly interesting.
He couldn’t understand why he, a failure, would be obstructing anyone’s path, so much so that it seed even his own brother wanted to kill him.
A night passed in silence, and early the next morning, while Xu Zii was still cultivating, he was disturbed by a noisy commotion outside.
