Chapter 10: Small Eyes, Big Confusion
Not Wanting to Be a Monk (Meng Qi): Reincarnation and breaking the mystery of the womb—in truth, I do not know the specifics myself.
I simply woke up one day and suddenly arrived in this brand-new world; in the end, I do not even understand the principles behind it myself.
On the back mountain of Wudang Mountain, Zhang Sanfeng felt very disappointed upon hearing Meng Qi speak this way.
Meng Qi also knew that speaking like this was unfair to that Red Packet, so without pausing, he continued.
Not Wanting to Be a Monk (Meng Qi): Regarding the path of reincarnation, I cannot help the True Person much, but in other aspects, I might be able to be of a little help to True Person Zhang.
In the martial arts world where True Person Zhang resides, is there anyone constantly searching for the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slaying Saber?
Seeing Meng Qi say this, the corners of Zhang Xuan's mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
Everything was within his expectations; he had long guessed that among those joining the Wanjie Chat Group, there would likely be some transmigrators like himself.
These transmigrators possess the ability of foresight regarding world plots, and they will inevitably use this ability to gain benefits within the Chat Group.
If Zhang Xuan were like them, his perceived status would drop significantly, but Zhang Xuan took a roundabout path.
The entire situation now has a reasonable explanation, and conversely, it will not easily reveal any flaws.
Of course, for part of this, Zhang Xuan drew inspiration from the concepts within Meng Qi's world.
Besides their Main World, the world where Meng Qi resides also has countless Universe Light Fragments, or in other words, countless Parallel Worlds.
Those Parallel Worlds may not match the Main World in terms of martial power, but their corresponding history and related progress are correct and consistent with the Main World.
Of course, Universe Light Fragments cannot encompass the entire Main World; they only contain a portion of the Main World, with only a fraction of the characters.
Those worlds drifting outside the Main World are like shadows of the Main World; because of the angle of the sun, different shadows have different heights, weights, and shapes.
But the main core is always centered on the Main World.
Zhang Xuan fabricated the idea that the Heavenly Dao Controller created countless worlds, and those countless higher-level worlds project their own information onto other lower-level worlds.
Therefore, it is very likely that other lower-level worlds know what happens in the higher-level worlds.
The entire river of fate unfolds before the characters of the lower-level worlds, but even if they see it, they can do nothing about it.
They have no way to go to the higher-level worlds, nor any way to change the fixed fate of characters in the higher-level worlds.
Zhang Sanfeng: Indeed, there is a rumor in the martial arts world: "Martial arts supreme, Dragon Slaying saber, commands the world, none dare disobey; if the Heavenly sword does not appear, who can contend?"
Hmm, Zhang Sanfeng spoke bluntly, saying this was a rumor.
After all, for most people in the martial arts world, the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slaying Saber are legends; they have no chance to see them.
Therefore, martial arts practitioners repeat what others say, thinking that obtaining the Dragon Slaying Saber or the Heavenly Sword would make them the supreme figure in the martial arts world.
But Zhang Sanfeng is someone who has both seen the pig run and eaten the pork.
The Emei Sect and Wudang have always had a good relationship; he has seen the Heavenly Sword left behind by the founder of the Emei Sect, and has even handled it.
The sword is indeed worthy of being called a supreme treasure, but even if the Emei Sect Leader, Abbess Miejue, held the Heavenly Sword, she could not last a single move before him.
The so-called martial arts supreme, commanding the world, is a joke in front of Zhang Sanfeng.
Meng Qi felt confident, confirming that the Zhang Sanfeng in the Chat Group should be the character from *The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber*.
The corners of his mouth curled slightly, preparing to start showing off.
On Wudang Mountain, Zhang Sanfeng was also slightly curious; he was unfamiliar with Meng Qi, but Meng Qi seemed quite familiar with him.
This feeling made him feel a bit strange, yet at the same time, it gave him a distinct sense of familiarity.
He remembered how Zhang Xuan had addressed him earlier—True Person—and Meng Qi also addressed him the same way.
"Could it be..."
Zhang Sanfeng had a guess in his heart, but he wasn't sure yet; the next moment, he became completely certain.
Not Wanting to Be a Monk (Meng Qi): Is True Person Zhang about to celebrate his hundredth birthday?
Zhang Sanfeng: Yes, in two more days, it will be my hundredth birthday.
Zhang Sanfeng thought to himself: "This feeling is becoming more and more familiar."
When Meng Qi asked, he was already thinking about how to provide Zhang Sanfeng with some help.
Hearing Zhang Sanfeng's answer, he felt certain.
A top-tier Grandmaster like Zhang Sanfeng, having lived to nearly a hundred, is already invincible in the world.
He no longer has many requirements for divine arts or secret manuals; his true desires are instead like those of any true centenarian: hoping for a house full of children and grandchildren, and filial piety from his descendants.
Of course, Zhang Sanfeng himself never married and has no descendants.
What he must be thinking of are his disciples, living in harmony and happiness.
Then, without a doubt, on the day of Zhang Sanfeng's hundredth birthday, Zhang Sanfeng will not be very happy, as his beloved fifth disciple will commit suicide right in front of him, and the fifth disciple's wife will also commit suicide on that same day.
As for the six major sects coming under the banner of offering congratulations, except for Emei, which is truly there to celebrate Zhang Sanfeng's birthday,
the others only want the Dragon Slaying Saber, wanting that "one blade to rule them all" to dominate the martial arts world.
This led to a scene that was quite unsightly at the time.
Not Wanting to Be a Monk (Meng Qi): Then perhaps I can offer the Daoist a little help; on the day of your hundredth birthday, I fear the Daoist should be extra cautious...
Meng Qi was deliberating on what language and method to use for the spoilers.
After all, saying directly that Zhang Sanfeng is a character from a book is too bizarre and would be too much of a shock.
But before he could organize his words, he saw Zhang Sanfeng's response in his mind.
Zhang Sanfeng: Is the fellow Daoist trying to say that on my hundredth birthday, the six major sects will gather to obtain the whereabouts of the Dragon Slaying Saber?
My fifth disciple will choose death over revealing it, and commit suicide before everyone.
"Ah, what?"
On the communal bed in the Shaolin Miscellaneous Affairs Courtyard, Meng Qi, curled up in his quilt with bright eyes, had small eyes filled with great confusion.
How did the script develop like this? Is this really Zhang Sanfeng?
I haven't even said anything yet, and you've told me everything; are you a transmigrator, or am I a transmigrator?
After being stunned, Meng Qi was dazed again, but soon he understood the truth of the matter.
After all, he was not the only one in the Chat Group; there was also another Zhang Xuan who was suspected to be staying on Earth as well.
"Could it be that the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber also exists in this Parallel World?"
He had his suspicions, and sure enough, Zhang Sanfeng's next sentence answered his doubts.
Zhang Sanfeng: Fellow Daoist Zhang Xuan has already informed this old Daoist of the relevant situation; I never expected that besides Fellow Daoist Zhang Xuan, Fellow Daoist Meng Qi would also be able to glimpse the fate of the future.
Has Fellow Daoist Meng Qi also met the Heavenly Dao Controller?
Not Wanting to Be a Monk (Meng Qi): Heavenly Dao Controller?
Meng Qi understood everything Zhang Sanfeng said before, but regarding the Heavenly Dao Controller, Meng Qi was a bit bewildered.
However, Meng Qi skillfully scrolled through the Chat Group and, sure enough, saw a figure listed in the Administrator position labeled "Ten-Tier - Heavenly Dao Controller," and his heart stirred.
"Is this Heavenly Dao Controller the one who leaked the spoilers? No, that's not right. True Person Zhang said that Zhang Xuan was the one who leaked the spoilers, so is this Heavenly Dao Controller also a transmigrator? Ten-Tier?"
Massive amounts of information swirled in his mind, and for a moment, Meng Qi felt a little dazed.
However, Zhang Sanfeng stepped up as a thoughtful guide.
Zhang Sanfeng: The answers are all in the group announcement.
Meng Qi immediately went to check. As a modern person, he was much more proficient with the Chat Group than Zhang Sanfeng and quickly flipped to the relevant group announcement.
"Heavenly Dao Controller, creating worlds, world projections..."
Meng Qi's first thought was that this was complete nonsense and fabrication; after all, while things like fate might be glimpsed, he only knew about Zhang Sanfeng because of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
And the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber was written by Old Master Jin, which had absolutely nothing to do with a Heavenly Dao Controller.
Yet, even though the group announcement didn't seem perfectly crafted, when he saw "Universe Light Fragment" and "Heavens Projection," he inexplicably felt a sense of conviction in his heart.
In that instant, he even felt as if he sensed a massive squid lurking in the deep, its tentacles reaching down to control one world after another.
But it was only for an instant, and then he could no longer feel it.
"It's clearly so absurd, yet I feel it might be true. Could it be that there really is such a Heavenly Dao Controller between heaven and earth?"
Meng Qi felt a headache coming on.
At this moment, Zhang Xuan, feeling the timing was just right, finally began to bubble up.
Zhang Xuan: @Not Wanting to Be a Monk (Meng Qi), do you find it very strange and hard to believe? When I first came into contact with it, I didn't believe it at all either.
But the things that happened later made me completely convinced.
Just like the appearance of True Person Zhang, like your arrival, Meng Qi, and like the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin that crashed onto Mount Tai a few days ago.
Not Wanting to Be a Monk (Meng Qi): Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin?
"Holy crap!"
In the dormitory, Meng Qi almost jumped out of his blanket.
Not Wanting to Be a Monk (Meng Qi): You... you are in the Zhetian World?! You saw the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin?
Zhang Xuan: That's right. I originally thought I was in an ordinary world, just going to work normally every day. Who knew that while I was eating hot pot and singing songs, the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin would just fall down.
And that Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin didn't even abduct me; it would have been great if it had taken me along.
Meng Qi was in a state of extreme shock, and he was almost stunned speechless.
Moreover, he sensed a lot of meaning behind Zhang Xuan's words.
Not Wanting to Be a Monk (Meng Qi): You... you are in the Zhetian World, how could you have seen the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin?
The corners of Zhang Xuan's mouth curved slightly; he knew Meng Qi had entered his rhythm.
Zhang Xuan: Zhetian... I don't know much about Zhetian, but it's a good name. I'll use it for the title of my next book.
I know about the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin because I saw it when the Heavenly Dao Controller was evolving the world.
I originally just treated the fates of the many worlds evolved by the Heavenly Dao Controller as strange tales and depicted them in books to make a living.
I never expected that one day I would see with my own eyes the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin crash onto Mount Tai, and since that event, I have known that thirty-one people disappeared from the Jade Emperor Peak of Mount Tai.
Everything is exactly as the fate displayed by the Heavenly Dao Controller.
Not Wanting to Be a Monk (Meng Qi):...
He was still somewhat unwilling to fully believe it, until he suddenly saw Zhang Xuan's next sentence.
Zhang Xuan: Amidst the birth and destruction of those many worlds, I have even seen you, Meng Qi!
