Under One Person: The Great Celestial Venerable of All Worlds

Chapter 12, 3 Amazing Techniques

Upon first activating his Qi Pill, Zhang Chulan discovered the ability to "absorb Qi." Although he didn't know where this ability came from, it was quite useful...

He successfully defeated that crazy woman.

The second and third times, this ability allowed him to successfully resolve the crises and even take control of the situation...

He gazed at the mysterious figure in the distance.

His gaze sharpened.

In Zhang Chulan's original plan, Qi was the foundation of all methods, including physical strength. As long as he could devour the opponent's Qi, he could sever their foundation and defeat them.

But to his surprise, the opponent's spear and armor were both formed from Qi, thus completely countering them...

He immediately smiled and prepared to give chase.

The other person clearly realized this as well, and retreated again to create distance between them. The two continued to chase and run, with the roles of offense and defense shifting.

But after chasing for a short while...

"Huh?!"

Zhang Chulan's body trembled, and he suddenly felt powerless, so he could only stop walking. The other party took the opportunity to speed up and disappear from sight.

"Has it reached its limit...?"

He had intended to capture it, ask where it came from, and learn more about this "outcast," but now the opportunity was gone...

"pity."

But this also made him realize that activating the Qi Pill was not without cost; the most basic requirement was Qi and physical strength. Right now, he was like a battery that had run out of power, feeling weak all over.

At this time...

Tap, tap, tap...

A footstep sounded, startling Zhang Chulan, who was now powerless to fight back.

The next moment, a figure appeared before him—it was the strange young man from a few days ago. He gazed into the man's eyes and felt only warmth and peace...

I felt a sense of relief for no apparent reason.

"How does it feel?"

Looking at the swaying Zhang Chulan, Fu Xuan smiled and said, "I told you so, you're going to be in danger, but I can help you get through this crisis."

"Then how do I know... this crisis wasn't deliberately created by you?" Zhang Chulan narrowed his eyes.

"It's simple. I don't need to gain your trust. I just need to complete this predetermined 'deal,' and the rest is up to you..."

"As for this 'deal,' you had no choice in the first place, so why should I go through all this trouble?"

This statement is partly true and partly false.

Regarding the "transaction," Fu Xuan indeed didn't need to do anything. As long as his Qi merged into the other party's body, unless one was a person with extraordinary abilities, no one could separate it from him.

But now he needs manpower to complete the unfinished business from a thousand years ago and to settle scores with his enemies, so he needs to find more capable people to willingly serve him.

"..."

"That's true."

Zhang Chulan pondered for a moment, deciding to believe them for now, and then asked, "Then can you tell me what these people really want? And what... is my grandfather hiding?"

"Your grandfather possesses a 'miraculous skill'."

"Special skills?"

"More than seventy years ago, thirteen extraordinary skills emerged, causing immense chaos in the martial arts world, known as the 'Jiashen Rebellion,' and your grandfather... was one of those who mastered these extraordinary skills!"

Through this period of investigation, Fu Xuan has learned about the situation in Jia Shen. Under his influence, the original "Eight Extraordinary Skills" have become "Thirteen Extraordinary Skills," and the chaos of that year has become even more bloody.

Thirty-six top-tier extraordinary individuals who had been elevated by his Qi.

These thirteen extraordinary skills, when mastered to their fullest potential, are enough to reach the heavens.

Faced with the pursuit and scramble from all sides of the martial arts world, their counterattacks will be even stronger than before, leading to more tragedies.

However, the final fates of these people don't seem to be too different. After all, even Liangshan, with Fu Xuan in charge, was defeated, and a mere thirty-six people...

How could it possibly withstand the impact of the overall trend?

If we must speak of changes, perhaps it lies in the five additional "unique skills" and the individuals who mastered them. The fates of these five people seem to have been rewritten as a result; those who should have died did not die, and those who should have been imprisoned were not imprisoned...

They are now all hidden somewhere.

"Could you explain in more detail?"

Upon hearing about the "Jiashen Rebellion" and "extraordinary skills," Zhang Chulan immediately became interested, eager to know what had happened to his grandfather back then.

"Can."

Fu Xuan nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and casually injected a wisp of Qi to help him recover some of his strength: "Let's go, this is not the place to talk."

Afterwards, the two went to an internet cafe near the entrance of Nanbukai School and booked a quiet private room. Fu Xuan had changed his appearance and was dressed as a student.

Then he stomped his foot, and a Qimen formation unfolded, isolating the private room. This was the "Wuhou Qimen," which he had learned from the Zhuge family members who participated in the siege back then.

"More than eighty years ago..."

Thus, Fu Xuan recounted the events of that year, from the sudden emergence of Wugensheng, the leader of Quanxing Sect, to his acquaintance and mutual appreciation with the heroes, to the sworn brotherhood in Qinling, the emergence of extraordinary skills, and the outbreak of the Jia Shen Rebellion... He explained everything.

After hearing all this, Zhang Chulan stood there stunned. He had never imagined that his grandfather was such a person, capable of defying the world to become sworn brothers with someone he respected, and even resolutely leaving his sect...

He is truly a man of great loyalty and righteousness!

"And then what happened?"

"Later, faced with the overwhelming tide of the world, they were ultimately no match; some died, some were imprisoned, some went into hiding, and the group fell apart..."

"To this day, no one knows who betrayed him back then, or where Wugensheng disappeared to. Only the legend of the 'miraculous skill' remains... People are still searching for it."

"I see. So, the 'unique skill' my grandfather possessed was...?"

"The Source Flow of Qi!"

"The ultimate technique, the source of Qi... This is the only description known to the world, but as far as I know, it can push all the techniques one comes into contact with to their extreme, and it's right here within your body!"

"Inside my body?!"

Zhang Chulan was taken aback, his eyes flickered, and he thought of the inexplicably appearing "Qi-eating" ability.

"It seems you've already figured it out..."

"That's right."

Fu Xuan nodded: "The reason you were able to overcome this crisis, besides the 'deal' with me, is largely thanks to your grandfather's 'Qi Body Source Flow'. That Qi Pill can activate its power, and you can deepen your mastery of it as your cultivation grows."

Through his own Qi, he could see the "Qi Infant" inside Zhang Chulan's body, which was the one that Zhang Huaiyi entrusted to Feng Baobao to deliver back then.

He briefly controlled the two during their fight before transferring his power into the other's body.

"But don't worry, I have no interest in this, because it was part of the 'deal' between your grandfather and me. It was created because of me and originated from me, so it is of no use to me."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan frowned: "You mean, my grandfather made a 'deal' with you back then, which led to the creation of this 'miracle skill'?"

"Is the same true for the other twelve 'extraordinary skills'?"

"That's right."

After a moment's reaction, Zhang Chulan's eyes widened: "So, how old are you this year?"

"Well, let me think about it..."

"Ten years..."

"There are twenty now."
