You’re neither like Ni Sheng San Chong, where the body is forged from Qi and Qi is light enough to hover, nor do you use any Dunguang  technique—you simply flew upward, as if ignoring all objective laws of the world, relying solely on your flesh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such an absurd method—who else but you could be called a monster?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ye snapped back to himself, suppressing that indescribable tremor, muttering softly: “Compared to your flying method, I think the cage beneath our feet deserves more attention.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You dare say that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Sheng couldn’t hold back—he swung his sleeve and struck Wang Ye hard on the head, then glared at him: “Brat! You’re my distant disciple, and you still can’t tell what’s important and what’s not?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s there to care about in a cage? It’s just a minor spatial alteration!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this one’s cultivation is so deep, the imprisoned space can’t even be moved by me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke the last line, Zhou Sheng cast a sidelong glance at Lin Yu, his narrowed eyes flickering with wariness and doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he feared was Lin Yu’s displayed ability; what puzzled him was that someone with such cultivation still existed in the world—even calling him a terrestrial immortal would be no exaggeration!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, you’re mistaken!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu shook his head: “In my view, this young Master Wang Ye understands far better than you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Sheng’s eyelid twitched; he glanced at Wang Ye behind him without comment: “Is that so? I don’t feel that way…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu said calmly: “How does your cultivation compare to the Old Heavenly Master’s?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Sheng frowned, hesitated briefly, then sighed: “Naturally, I’m inferior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu smiled lightly: “Does the Old Heavenly Master covet the Eight Marvelous Techniques?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not!” Zhou Sheng replied without hesitation. “Zhang Zhiwei cultivates the Way of Heaven; we old rogues merely steal Heaven’s opportunity through cunning tricks!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From the level of cultivation, we’re not even on the same—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice cut off abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he fell silent, gazing at Lin Yu with a complex expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu smiled faintly, speaking slowly: “Though the Eight Marvelous Techniques can steal Heaven’s opportunity, they still cannot escape the word ‘strange.’ Only by cultivating both life and spirit—like Zhang Zhiwei, steadily, step by step—is this the true path of cultivation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang Ye hasn’t reached Zhang Zhiwei’s level yet, but he still sensed the key by instinct.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yet you, Master, clearly know the true path, yet still drown in strange arts and tricks, fixated on what you can’t comprehend, ignoring the most vital matter: depth of cultivation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s why I say this young Master understands far better than you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Is that how I think?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ye widened his eyes, staring at Lin Yu in utter bewilderment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Sheng fell silent for a moment, then sighed deeply: “I’ve learned.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked to the edge of the barrier, staring straight at Lin Yu: “Very well. You hold the knife, I am the meat. Since I and this brat have fallen into your trap, just state your demands outright!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu smiled: “Nothing much—I’ve long heard of the Wind After Diagram’s fame, and wish to see it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Sheng grinned: “You just spoke so wisely, and now you want my Wind After Mystic Gate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu’s expression didn’t change; he countered: “Your Wind After Mystic Gate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Sheng’s smile vanished; he sighed: “Fine. I’ll give you the Wind After Mystic Gate—but you must promise me you’ll never bother this boy again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Then I trust you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Sheng opened his eyes, and instantly a rapidly spinning Wind After Diagram appeared in his pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu gazed at the diagram thoughtfully, seemingly sinking into a state of deep immersion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Wang Ye exclaimed in shock: “You really gave him the Wind After Mystic Gate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Sheng lowered his eyelids slightly, glancing at Wang Ye behind him: “He wants it—why shouldn’t I give it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you afraid he’ll get trapped?” Wang Ye slumped against the barrier, grimacing: “This has nothing to do with cultivation—if he truly gets trapped, we’ll be stuck here forever!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Wang Ye’s words, Zhou Sheng’s temple veins bulged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held back, held back again, then finally couldn’t restrain himself—he raised his hand and gave Wang Ye a sharp tap on the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fool!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think I don’t understand such a simple truth?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ye rubbed his head, pouting: “Then why did you—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Sheng snorted, then turned to face Lin Yu, gazing into his dark eyes, which seemed to hold the entire starry sky, and spoke softly: “With eyes like his—like those of a celestial being—he won’t get trapped. Even if I showed him the wordless version.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ye gasped: “Wordless version?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Sheng glanced at him: “Don’t think the wordless version is harming him—I don’t have the nerve for that. In truth, those mantras and summaries are merely guides to prevent later seekers from straying. The true Wind After Diagram is inherently wordless—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Zhou Sheng could finish, a thoughtful voice came from beyond the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ye widened his eyes, stunned, staring at Lin Yu outside the barrier:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the wordless version… how could he understand it so fast?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fast?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Sheng showed no surprise; his tone was quiet: “He never got trapped from the start—he was merely savoring the transformations within this inner scheme!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, why do you think I dare not speak ill of him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Sheng muttered inwardly, yet his expression remained calm as he watched Lin Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu, lost in thought, suddenly transformed into a giant roc, spreading its wings and soaring upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Wang Ye’s pupils shrank, and that strange tremor within him grew even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you understand now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Sheng turned to Wang Ye, gazing calmly: “The key to the Wind After…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ye fell silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly: “To grasp all external transformations within one’s palm is mere fantasy. The Wind After’s scheme must be opened within oneself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Sheng opened his mouth, hesitated, then changed his words before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, within this inner scheme, have you found the Central Palace?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” Wang Ye nodded: “Though fixing within the body frees one from external control, every part of the body is constantly active. To achieve the stillness and peace required for the Central Palace’s fixation, there is only one place—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ye pointed to his own dantian: “The Nascent Soul!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Sheng’s face darkened further; he clenched and unclenched his fists, then finally couldn’t hold back—he kicked Wang Ye hard into the corner of the cage, glaring at the bewildered young man:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your head?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you fix your spirit in the Nascent Soul, you’ll never rise again in this lifetime!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, Zhou Sheng sighed, staring at Wang Ye: “Forget it. At least you’ve grasped the essence of internal transformation. I’ll tell you directly—the Central Palace can be anywhere in the body except the Nascent Soul!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ye blinked: “Anywhere?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That doesn’t sound right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu’s voice came from beyond the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both turned to see the giant roc descending from the sky, transforming back into the handsome young man, smiling gently: “Master Zhou, this young man’s temperament differs from yours. Guide him more directly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Sheng’s mouth twitched, glancing at him: “Then you do it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu replied without hesitation: “Fine, I will!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Wang Ye and asked: “You’ve read the Journey to the West, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ye grew serious and nodded: “Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu smiled: “And Sun Wukong’s Seventy-Two Transformations?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ye was about to answer, then suddenly remembered Lin Yu’s earlier remark—that Zhou Sheng had mastered the Seventy-Two Transformations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Seventy-Two Transformations were tied to the Wind After Mystic Gate, this question couldn’t be as simple as the number seventy-two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seventy-two… seventy-two… I get it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ye’s eyes lit up: “The Seventy-Two Climate Periods?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu looked pleased: “Correct. Five days make a period, three periods make a qi, six qis make a season, four seasons make a year. Twenty-four solar terms total seventy-two climate periods.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mastering these seventy-two climate periods, you may rightly call yourself ‘Each Period’s King’—the Great Sage!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now think again—where is the most suitable place to fix the Central Palace?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ye had no doubts; he said solemnly: “Just as Sun Wukong mastered the Seventy-Two Transformations, the heart, which governs transformation, is undoubtedly the most fitting place to fix the Central Palace!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Zhou Sheng beside him: “See? His insight is quite good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teaching must adapt to the student. Today’s youth love stories—so tell them stories. Fortunately, ancient sages wrote this cultivation textbook—why not use it properly? It’d be a waste.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ye grinned: “That’s true—I love stories!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Sheng’s face darkened; he swept his sleeve: “Since you’re so good at teaching disciples, take this boy. He’s already been expelled from Wudang—perfectly unaffiliated!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ye’s smile froze; he hurriedly said: “No, Master Grand-uncle! That expulsion was an elder’s kindness—I messed up a bit, caused trouble, and they sent me away to hide, to run away, you know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—I don’t plan to take you as my disciple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Yu smiled: “Having seen the Wind After Diagram, I’m satisfied—here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand, and two jade talismans shot through the air, landing in their palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the spatial barrier around them vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ye gasped, about to use a technique to counter the free fall, when suddenly his vision blurred—he was instantly transported from midair to the ground below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ouch~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ye stumbled unexpectedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he rubbed his buttocks and stood up, he saw Lin Yu still hovering in the air, smiling at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The jade talismans in your hands are the Immortal Invitations of Baiyu Jing. Should you encounter difficulties in your cultivation or have questions that trouble your heart, use this invitation to seek out the True Lord Huan Yu at Baiyu Jing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, his figure vanished instantly, leaving not a trace behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1751,"2026-06-20T00:29:28.871Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","948698fce818268ca17fc10c0dc58e4ff9d152eb2d18acb08b37e1224683629b","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-75","the-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-chapter-73",206,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dimensional-demon-god-s-chat-group-cover.jpg"]
