Let Director Dai personally call out each name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If even one name on it cannot verify their whereabouts, I, Wang Tianhe, will smash my head against this wall today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I fear someone is deliberately framing us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Dai raised his hand, halting the request for the genealogy, his gaze deepening as he said with deliberate meaning: “These words are enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Without the Wang clan’s protection, a mere twenty-year-old Primordial Cultivator—no matter how talented—is still just Primordial.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Dai turned to leave, but a hand gripped his shoulder—Wang Tianhe’s defiance vanished, his cold words gone; he smiled warmly: “Director Dai has come all this way—why leave so soon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bring tea! Quickly fetch my finest stored tea.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Dai, tell me in detail.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Three Yuan Qi Return Scripture has always been hard to cultivate—even the vast Wang clan has no Primordial Cultivator under twenty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be a misidentification?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, I’m not doubting—this matter is too malicious; someone is deliberately provoking discord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After thinking it over, I shall go to the north myself to confirm the truth—after all, who better than I to judge whether it is truly the Three Yuan Qi Return Scripture?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If all is true, rest assured, Director Dai—I will not let him go unpunished.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bring him back. Punish him severely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a promising talent must be rigorously trained—his gift must not be wasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not ashamed to ask beneath oneself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a fine tradition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng would never pretend to know—he naturally seized this chance to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Post-Heaven cultivators open the meridians, connect the Heaven and Earth orifices, and generate Primordial internal qi; the cultivation of Primordial cultivators is the Five Qi Converging on the Origin, the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Five Qi Converging on the Origin comes the Primordial True Realm, where Primordial internal qi ascends to Primordial True Qi; after the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown comes the Primordial Mystical Realm, condensing Primordial True Essence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three Primordial realms—each gate harder than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng rode his Ma Pi alongside Tang He, exiting the pass, his mind revolving around Tang He’s description.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had obtained Primordial internal qi, his starting point was the Primordial realm; his consumed qi naturally replenished—yet it remained Primordial internal qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it must carry the word “pseudo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normal Primordial cultivators focus on the Five Qi—heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys; each completed organ transforms the Primordial internal qi, until the Five Qi Converging on the Origin, transforming into Primordial True Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I must first open the meridians, remove this “pseudo,” and become a true Primordial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang He treated me well—answered every question without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did he explain the Three Primordial Realms, he personally gifted Dou Changsheng a method to break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It detailed precisely how to open the Twelve Regular Meridians and the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, along with taboos—all described in exhaustive detail; though called a breakthrough method, it was in truth a Post-Heaven martial scripture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang He did not value it much—the Tianjian Sect was the supreme martial school of Southern Chen; he had flipped through countless such ordinary Post-Heaven scriptures, and acquired many more during his travels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tianjian Sect’s martial arts, regardless of strength, could not be passed outside—but Tang He, having obtained these scriptures himself, casually handed Dou Changsheng a copy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This martial scripture, this internal qi cultivation method, Dou Changsheng could never practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because his qi was the Three Yuan Qi Return Scripture—practicing any other internal method would easily cause conflict; Dou Changsheng merely observed it briefly, studying only the meridian-opening points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To speak plainly: his qi had grown ever more potent, and increasingly bound him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, aside from the Three Yuan Qi Return Scripture, he could no longer cultivate any other internal method—unless he destroyed this vast reservoir of qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At noon, Dou Changsheng and Tang He sat beneath a tree, eating dried rations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang He drank a sip of clear water, lightly wiped his mouth, then said: “This time we split into two groups. Black Eagle Elder will deliberately draw attention—he will face the greatest danger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He is only a Post-Heaven Great Completion cultivator; the opponents will surely include Primordial cultivators.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Therefore, after leaving Junxian, Black Eagle Elder must conceal himself—he must not head toward Jianmen Pass.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He must buy us time—we will rescue him after delivering the military pay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But we just received word: Black Eagle Elder did not follow the plan—he did not hide himself, but instead made a grand show, as if daring enemies to know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His purpose is simple: to buy us time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang He sighed: “This elder is worthy of respect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Black Eagle Elder has been captured—he is now the enemy’s prisoner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And our mission this time is to rescue Black Eagle Elder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a good man must live out his days in peace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang He picked up a twig and began drawing on the ground as he continued: “The greatest challenge this time is that Black Eagle Elder has already been imprisoned.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t mistake this for an ordinary village—it has been altered by the Demon Chancellor’s people; many strongmen gather here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Most importantly, there is a Primordial True Realm cultivator who has already condensed Primordial True Qi—only Dou Brother can defeat him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are too many enemies—we don’t need to win.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My plan is simple: Dou Brother draws attention, holds the Primordial True Realm cultivator in check, creates chaos, and I strike to rescue during the confusion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Black Eagle Elder is only a Post-Heaven Great Completion cultivator—he won’t be taken seriously by the Demon Chancellor’s people; the chance of success is extremely high.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng pondered. This plan had no flair, no brilliance—every risk fell squarely on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thousand-year earth pearl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng murmured to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing—he must have it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng exhaled a thick breath and said firmly: “Do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Brother Tang knows—I’m not strong enough to defeat a Primordial True Realm cultivator. I’ll set fire to draw attention, giving you time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I may not even hold the Primordial True Realm enemy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang He smiled: “That’s enough. That Primordial True Realm cultivator may not even be there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Their main goal is seizing the military pay—not guarding prisoners.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s normal for them to be away now; including him is just precaution.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Dou Changsheng corrected him directly: “Brother Tang, be careful—I have a feeling, that Primordial True Realm cultivator is definitely inside the village.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of luck did he, Dou Changsheng, have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could enemies possibly be absent, leaving him a lucky chance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, it was only a Primordial True Realm cultivator—if it were a Pure Yang Master, Dou Changsheng would turn and flee immediately—because the master would certainly be there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days passed. Dou Changsheng resumed his daily journey, training whenever he could, like a hermit ascetic. That afternoon, they finally neared the village—but did not advance further, fearing to alarm the enemy, and began to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang He had vanished—he was searching for an opportunity to infiltrate the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alone now, Dou Changsheng gnawed on dried rations, suddenly realizing his courage had grown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before arriving in Junxian, such dangerous tasks would have made him abandon them instantly—but now he dared to set fire, drawing the attention of a Primordial True Realm cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng chuckled bitterly: “The knight-errant uses martial power to defy the law.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once one possesses transcendent power, how can one accept mediocrity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, daring to snatch the grain from the fire—Dou Changsheng admitted to himself: he was not truly motivated to rescue Black Eagle Elder, lacking Tang He’s righteousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If ten parts were at stake, rescuing Black Eagle Elder accounted for only two or three—the remaining seven or eight were for the thousand-year earth pearl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a lone cultivator, his future path was destined to be fraught with hardship—and the thousand-year earth pearl was the legendary artifact in countless tales that turned poor boys into masters; Dou Changsheng would not let it slip away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortune favors the bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A true man, born into this world, must seize his chance when it comes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng steeled his resolve and began preparing—he was too weak, even weaker than Tang He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much he explained, Tang He still didn’t believe; outsiders thought him formidable, but Dou Changsheng knew his limits—he never truly believed he could fight a Primordial True Realm cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, his goal was to draw attention—not to fight. Otherwise, no matter how good the thousand-year earth pearl, he wouldn’t risk it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would first set fire, then, when the moment was right, release the two Ma Pi, ignite their tails, and let them rampage through the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a variant of the Fire Ox Formation—simple to describe, easy to execute, yet impossible to guarantee the oxen would charge forward instead of turning back toward you; too uncontrollable, poor value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once the Ma Pi ran out, where they went didn’t matter to Dou Changsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the sky—the last golden light faded. He judged the moment right, and crafted a small device: in about fifteen minutes, the Ma Pi would ignite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These fifteen minutes were his optimal window to set fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng crept cautiously toward the village. Night had fallen—the village lay silent. It was an abandoned village; such places were common in the north, the result of over a decade of constant warfare, leaving countless families destitute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With dwindling populations, villages merged with others; over time, many were abandoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng did not enter deeply—he approached a thatched hut, lit it on fire. Watching the flames rise, he did not delay—he swiftly moved to another spot and set fire again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the enemies didn’t react, but by the time Dou Changsheng ignited the third fire, warriors were already rushing toward the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dou Changsheng stopped setting fires and instead went into hiding. Soon after, a wild horse charged into the village. Dou Changsheng sighed—one of the two horses had run the wrong way, but he was still satisfied; he had expected not a single horse might even reach the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was only meant to create noise—don’t expect much real effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary people were helpless against the frenzied horses, for they dared not approach; the beasts’ strength could easily throw them down. But for warriors, like Wang Xiong, even a single hand could pin a horse down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horse, driven mad by fire, had just smashed through one thatched hut when a warrior arriving on the scene slashed it down midair with a single blade strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long blade cut through the night sky, leaving behind a streak of white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed forth; the massive horse’s head soared high, spiraling through the air before crashing to the ground, rolling uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warrior landed, silver-white hair fluttering—clearly, it was Ai Haikè.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint figure descended from the heavens. Feng Zhongyi stared at the horse corpse sprawled on the ground, ignoring the pooling blood. He was about to look away when his gaze suddenly sharpened. “I recognize it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s Dou Changsheng’s horse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The arsonist is Dou Changsheng—he’s come to rescue Black Eagle Venerable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ai Haikè shook his head slightly. “I came here to take my leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve chosen to return home. I will no longer involve myself in worldly affairs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened tonight—I happened to be here—but I will aid neither side.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Farewell!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sheathing his long blade, Ai Haikè walked directly out of the village. Feng Zhongyi watched his retreating back, his eyes beginning to flicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To save his own life, he exaggerated Dou Changsheng’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Dou Changsheng truly faced Long Ying now, he would be no match—Long Ying is a master of Five Qi perfected, already beginning to condense the Three Flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Dou Changsheng revealed his true power, how could a True Person let him live?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Zhongyi did not want to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and sprinted toward the village center, shouting as he ran, altering his voice: “Disaster!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Wang Fu has sent a Grand Master to rescue them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all a rabble—Feng Zhongyi knew them well. At the word “Grand Master,” they would hesitate, too afraid to advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He burst into a large courtyard and saw Long Ying seated calmly on a grand chair, guarding the prison. Feng Zhongyi spoke quickly: “My lord, flee at once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone just said a Grand Master is attacking. I didn’t believe it—but Ai Haikè suddenly withdrew, determined to return home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is unnatural. I suspect Ai Haikè knew about this all along.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rumors say the Pure Yin Grand Master, equal in renown to the Pure Yang Grand Master, employs strange arts—he can send his soul to possess others, controlling living men from a hundred li away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ai Haikè’s entire family was loyal and honorable; the northern Grand Masters would never harm him. But if we don’t leave now, we won’t escape his poison.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All those imprisoned here are minor figures—no important person at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, prioritize strategic withdrawal—seize the military payroll above all else!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they fled, even a false report of a Grand Master’s attack would become true.\u003C\u002Fp>",2383,"2026-06-20T23:35:01.027Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","51bce20850ec051f935263f7288b433ec597cf247da628be680f0def6627c3b7","system-you-ve-got-the-wrong-person-chapter-13","system-you-ve-got-the-wrong-person-chapter-11",470,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-you-ve-got-the-wrong-person-cover.jpg"]
