Chapter 20: Respective Speculations

The originally lively Chat Group suddenly fell silent.

Zhang Xuan did not say much either; the group of people quieted down in the blink of an eye, each needing to digest that massive amount of information.

Having finished his display of divinity before others, Zhang Xuan actually did not want to stay in the Chat Group for too long.

The Heaven-Defying Seven Devil Blades he had just obtained made him beam with joy; this blade technique was a top-tier method, vastly different from ordinary blade techniques.

The Heaven-Defying Seven Devil Blades would slash out one's life essence, blade after blade.

If one held a heart of certain death, after slashing out seven blades, the life essence would be completely exhausted, yet the person would not die.

After waiting a moment for the life essence to return to the body, one's cultivation would not only not decrease, but would instead increase significantly.

In the near future, Chen Nan would rely on this method to live through death.

Of course, if one did not hold the resolve of certain death when using this blade technique, and harbored thoughts of luck, then after slashing out, only death would follow, with no possibility of living.

This blade technique is not considered outdated even before Martial Arts Shattering the Void; it can be called a very good method.

Of course, Zhang Xuan did not really want to use it.

He did not hope that one day he would be forced into a dead end where he absolutely had to use this blade technique.

However, having it is better than not having it; at the very least, if one has a blade technique, one can still struggle a bit when forced into a desperate situation.

Of course, that is only to be used as a backup.

After dealing with the matters in the Chat Group, Zhang Xuan immediately sat cross-legged on the spot.

He held the Dragon Pearl in his palm, and a continuous stream of Essence surged into his body, then was refined by him.

The vast Essence surged wildly, not only strengthening his physique but also making his True Qi increasingly turbulent.

He prepared to use the shortest amount of time to make himself achieve the success of the Nine Yang Divine Art.

By that time, his Internal Energy would be endless, automatically protecting his body, and immune to all poisons, so he would at least have a little bit of self-preservation ability.

Until reaching that point, Zhang Xuan felt he should not go out.

At the same time, Zhang Xuan could not help but recall today's performance, feeling that it should have been quite good.

The Heavenly Dao Controller made an appearance, displaying a terrifying strength and realm far exceeding ordinary people; at the very least, the entrance animation would definitely leave a deep impression on the other few.

In this way, the prestige within the Chat Group was established.

Of course, follow-up improvements are still needed; at the very least, if the characters in the Chat Group were to ask the Administrator to take action, the ruse would be exposed directly.

This point still needs to be considered carefully.

Having had a relatively good entrance, successfully convincing several Group Members, and also obtaining the Heaven-Defying Seven Devil Blades, Zhang Xuan was somewhat excited, but not complacent.

While silently summarizing, he practiced.

On the other side, just after withdrawing from the Chat Group, Chen Nan could not help but take continuous, deep breaths.

The stronger one is, the more one can understand how terrifying that Heavenly Dao Controller is.

Controlling nine worlds alone, and within those nine worlds, every single person is at the Immortal Martial Realm or above.

That is an unfathomable God King of God Kings, an Emperor of Emperors.

He found it somewhat hard to imagine, unable to believe it.

"There is actually someone in heaven and earth strong to this extent!"

Chen Nan felt his horizons broadened, but combining it with the Human Realm chapter of his future destiny that the Group Member Zhang Xuan sent him, he felt it was quite reasonable.

In his Human Realm chapter of destiny, there were many powerful figures shrouded in a layer of mist.

He had no way to see them clearly; he figured that Group Member Zhang Xuan also had no way to see them clearly, and there were certain limitations.

However, he remembered the relevant conversations quite clearly, among which there was even that Shoumu Laoren who knew what kind of changes occurred ten thousand years ago.

"The Chat Group is truly unfathomable; that I could enter it must be a stroke of heaven-sent luck, I must cherish such an opportunity."

Chen Nan clenched his fist firmly.

In the Shaolin Miscellaneous Affairs Courtyard, Meng Qi could not help but excitedly wave his little fist; he did not show it in the Chat Group, after all, he had to maintain his personal image, but after withdrawing from the Chat Group, he immediately began to get excited.

"Fixing my destiny, for the next period of time I don't need to worry about death..."

That Heavenly Dao Controller's light sentence had fixed his destiny for a period of time in the future; others might feel that "my fate is determined by me, not by heaven," and have a sense of being offended.

But Meng Qi, who was controlled by the Lunhui Zhi Zhu, felt this sentence was like the sounds of nature, making his whole body feel comfortable.

At the very least, for the next period of time, he did not need to worry about being strangled by the Lunhui Zhi Zhu.

"Controlling destiny, fixing destiny, such an ability of the Heavenly Dao Controller is truly incredible."

At the same time, Meng Qi actually thought of another problem.

"The Heavenly Dao Controller knows the destiny of others, so could it be that he didn't lock my destiny at all, but just spoiled the destiny of my next period of time, and he didn't do anything at all..."

Once this thought emerged, it was immediately dismissed by Meng Qi.

"Unlikely."

"Whether it is Chen Nan or Zhang Sanfeng, in their original destiny lines, there would not be a Wanjie Chat Group, and the things they obtained from the Wanjie Chat Group would definitely change their original destinies."

"At the very least, Zhang Sanfeng had already made a different choice at his hundredth birthday than the original one."

"In my world, perhaps the original destiny line was clear to both Zhang Xuan and the Heavenly Dao Controller, but after entering the Wanjie Chat Group, everything is no longer fixed."

"The Heavenly Dao Controller helping me fix the destiny line should be true and real."

Thinking of the Heavenly Dao Controller's brilliant entrance, and thinking of the destiny records that had surfaced many times before, the intention in Meng Qi's heart gradually became firm.

"The Heavenly Dao Controller is very interested in my world, and even went online specifically to help me, which shows that my world has items useful even to the Heavenly Dao Controller."

"And for a figure like the Heavenly Dao Controller, the only thing he might be interested in is how to make himself stronger, which very likely means that the upper limit of my world is higher than I imagined."

Thinking of the many exchange options given by the Lunhui Zhi Zhu, and thinking of the many myths and legends in this world.

Meng Qi's heart stirred, vaguely grasping the items the Heavenly Dao Controller needed.

Thinking of the other two Tier 11 existences in the Chat Group, Meng Qi vaguely felt that in the world he was in, there might be a method or way that could allow the Heavenly Dao Controller to break through to Tier 11.

But Meng Qi did not feel that he could rely on this point to manipulate the Heavenly Dao Controller.

Judging by the strength the Heavenly Dao Controller has currently displayed, it is not inferior to the Six Paths at all; Lunhui Zhi Zhu is absolutely one of the most top-tier figures in the world.

Perhaps there are people in the Wanjie Chat Group whose strength and realm are higher than the Heavenly Dao Controller, but that is meaningless.

At the very least, Meng Qi cannot rely on this to manipulate the other party in the slightest.

"What I can do now is firmly hug that big thigh; this is my greatest possibility and hope for changing the future."

"Hmm, it's not just about hugging the Heavenly Dao Controller's thigh; looking at Zhang Xuan's status, he should also have a pretty good relationship with the Heavenly Dao Controller."

"My strength and realm are too low, so it's not easy to try to climb the social ladder with the Heavenly Dao Controller, but it's easy to get closer to Zhang Xuan. If things go on like this, there might be unexpected surprises."

Meng Qi, carrying endless hope for the future, drifted into dreamland.

……

On the back mountain of Wudang Mountain, Zhang Sanfeng sat quietly cross-legged on the peak, the mountain wind blowing his sleeves, causing his beard and hair to dance.

Thinking of the many things he saw in the Chat Group today, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"It is this old Daoist who has been sitting in a well looking at the sky. Before, I was still thinking about being able to break through to Ten-Tier or Tier 11 in the future; looking at it now, I am the frog at the bottom of the well."

The opening animation of the Heavenly Dao Controller truly scared this old Daoist enough, causing endless amazement to arise in his heart.

Any one of the figures within the Nine Heavens had a strength, realm, and aura that surpassed his own, making it difficult for him to even conceive the thought of confronting them head-on.

It was fortunate that he was ignorant of the height of the sky and the depth of the earth before, and even felt that he could cultivate to Ten-Tier by relying on effort and talent.

Looking at it now, he really thought too much.

"However, being able to see a more magnificent world is also a good thing; there is no need to dwell on the present."

Recalling the Seven Devil Blades Against Heaven that he remembered clearly in his mind, Zhang Sanfeng could not help but feel moved again.

Because it was received from a Red Packet, it contained Chen Nan's unique insights into the Seven Devil Blades Against Heaven, so understanding the Seven Devil Blades Against Heaven was not difficult for Zhang Sanfeng.

The more he understood, the more Zhang Sanfeng marveled at this blade technique.

"Sure enough, it is this well that is small; this technique alone already surpasses all the divine arts and supreme skills in the world."

When Zhang Sanfeng looked at the Seven Devil Blades Against Heaven, he was not just looking at this blade technique; he also saw from this technique a cultivation method completely different from this world, which was an entirely different lineage.

The Seven Devil Blades Against Heaven still fundamentally has the lineage of Refining Essence into Qi and Refining Qi into Spirit, but the Essence, Qi, and Spirit contained within it far exceed this world.

Zhang Sanfeng could understand with a slight sensing that to skillfully use the Seven Devil Blades Against Heaven, he would at least need to make another major breakthrough on the basis of his original strength and realm.

And that was only the entry level; even if his strength and realm leaped several levels on the original foundation, using the Seven Devil Blades Against Heaven would not be outdated.

"I really dare not imagine that this blade technique is from a Tier 1 figure, hmm?"

Zhang Sanfeng took a moment to glance at the group and discovered that the suffix 'Tier 1' after the name 'I Slept for Ten Thousand Years' had suddenly changed to 'Tier 2'.

Moreover, the area behind 'Tier 2' was faintly changing color, as if it were about to reach Tier 3 at any moment, and his heart was suddenly shaken violently.

"The legendary sudden enlightenment is nothing more than this, right? This is too outrageous?"

Zhang Sanfeng exclaimed.

It was not that he had never heard of sudden enlightenment, and in his life of nearly a hundred years, he had even seen people have sudden enlightenments, but a sudden enlightenment at most meant breaking through a small realm.

How could someone go from a posture like a mortal overnight to suddenly breaking through to be even more formidable than him?

"Sigh, sure enough, I am old, and sure enough, the world is different!"

Zhang Sanfeng sighed for this, feeling more and more the uniqueness of the Wanjie Chat Group.

While sighing, his eyes, standing on the mountain peak, were also shining brightly.

The road ahead is very difficult; originally he could not see the road, but after seeing the Seven Devil Blades Against Heaven, he saw a path from within it.
