Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

Rong Shan had no choice but to unleash his golden light. The moment the light appeared, a profound and powerful aura swept over him, demonstrating the solidity of Rong Shan's life cultivation.

The eyes of the disciples in the temple held either envy, longing, or awe.

Zhengping felt it most deeply. He was maintaining the golden light and felt that compared to Ninth Master's, the light of a candle was like the light of a furnace compared to the light of a stove.

Saying there's a difference of several tens of times is a conservative estimate.

With a head as big as a bushel, Master Rongshan was really serious, and his small arms and legs couldn't withstand the damage.

They looked to the tenth advisor for help.

Zhang Huaidan gave him a reassuring smile.

OMG!

Zhengping wanted to cry. He didn't doubt the Tenth Master's abilities, but how could he feel at ease?

"Master Jiu's golden light is too powerful!"

"Ninth Master's cultivation has improved so much, who can withstand that!"

"Zhengping is going to be miserable!"

The disciples sighed repeatedly, and Zhengping's two legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

Zhang Lingyu frowned slightly in the crowd.

It wasn't because of the noise of the crowd, but because of the internal weighing of the situation.

Previously, Senior Brother Huai Dan used his skills to help others turn defeat into victory, but it was ultimately only a matter of a hair's breadth.

Zhengping and Rongshan are not the same thing at all. The difference between the former and the latter is at least dozens of times!
This is a gap that cannot be bridged by any means!

Even if Senior Brother were to pass on all his strength to Zhengping, he might still not be a match for Rongshan!
It's a very simple principle. If the senior brother's method is to amplify the power of others, then Zhengping is equivalent to being lifted from a clod of soil to a small hill.

And what about Rongshan?

Senior Brother Rongshan is a piece of fine steel!
Even if the small hill looks bigger than him, the steel can easily chisel it through!
While Zhang Lingyu was lost in thought, Rongshan had already reached out to grab Zhengping.

That palm, as big as a palm leaf fan, was covered with a thick layer of golden light. Zhengping dared not contend with it and could only close his eyes, hoping for a miracle.

The disciples held their breath, and Zhang Lingyu opened his eyes wide.

Will a miracle happen?
No, Senior Brother Rongshan will definitely have succeeded, after all, there's a lot involved...

'Boom! '

The sound was like the ringing of a bell. A strong look of disbelief flashed in Rong Shan's eyes, and he was pushed backward by a force that pushed him back again and again!

Zheng Ping suddenly opened his eyes.

He finally felt something, though only a very slight one.

Seeing Rong Shan retreating, even he, slow to realize something, understood something.

"Ninth Master, you..."

Zhang Lingyu muttered to herself, "How could this happen..."

"My eyes! Is this an illusion?!"

"When Ninth Master got serious, he was forced back!"

"What kind of technique does Tenth Master use? I... I want to learn it!"

The shouts in the temple were deafening.

Rong Shan completely lost his composure, turned around, and looked at Zhang Huaidan with a frustrated expression: "Huaidan, what the hell are you doing!"

Zhang Huaidan firmly refused: "I don't work on airplanes."

Rong Shan wanted to cry but had no tears. That brief contact just now felt like his mortal body had encountered an impenetrable wall.

Even with his greatly improved cultivation, the golden light he shone still had no chance of breaking through.

If there had been no intention to attack, his golden light would have cracked in an instant.

Looking at him now, the thin, flowing golden light on Zhengping's body was merely a weak and insignificant appearance. His inner self had long since been transformed into something he could not touch, something that even ten Rongshans could not shake in the slightest.

Rongshan felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to bang his head against the wall. His gaze couldn't help but drift to the part of Zhengping's body that wasn't covered by the golden light, but he quickly shook his head. He couldn't do that kind of thing.

"I still don't believe it!"

Rong Shan snorted coldly, and his true qi surged within his body, transforming into a golden hand.

Zhengping's heart pounded, and he closed his eyes again, determined to remain a coward.

'Knock knock knock~~'

The reverberating sound waves traveled far and wide, even reaching the foot of the mountain. Many people at the foot of the mountain looked up at the mountaintop in bewilderment, wondering if there was a happy event on Longhu Mountain today.

Why are they beating gongs and drums?

People in the square also felt a deafening roar in their ears and had to activate their golden light to protect themselves.

For a moment, the light shimmered, illuminating a golden expanse.

The sound waves reverberated, and all the disciples present, regardless of whether their cultivation level was like water, fire, or a golden membrane, were affected by the sound waves, the only difference being the magnitude of the vibration.

The disciples fell silent, their eyes fixed on Rong Shan's fierce attack.

Such a display of power is simply terrifying!
If they don't use golden light to protect themselves, their eardrums will definitely be damaged.

Rongshan's profound cultivation was truly awe-inspiring!

Even so.

Even Master Rongshan couldn't penetrate that thin layer of golden light.

You should know that Zhengping barely even reached the level of "golden light like water"!
"No fight, no fight."

Rongshan broke out in a sweat, thankfully he wasn't completely stunned. Knowing he couldn't defeat Zhengping, he simply quit.

"It's all Huai Dan's doing! It's not fair, it's not fair at all!"

The golden light dissipated, and he shouted loudly.

He looked indignant, but when he caught a glimpse of Zhang Huaidan smiling out of the corner of his eye, he felt an indescribable sense of shock.

Yesterday, for no apparent reason, his cultivation level increased dramatically due to the elixir he had been given, and he still doesn't understand the specific principle behind it.

Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and recovered after a good night's sleep.

Anyway, Huai Dan has now reached a level that he cannot understand, so it doesn't matter anymore.

However, the current situation was still a bit overwhelming for him.

If the gap between Zhengping and him is vast, then the gap between him and Huaidan is only much larger, not smaller.

If Huai Dan had insisted on going on stage himself, Rong Shan would never have agreed!
But what's going on right now?

Huai Dan merely used a few tricks to erase the gap between him and Zheng Ping.

Just moments before, no one present would have thought that was the answer.

Rong Shan felt a mix of emotions. If Huai Dan were to personally step in, even if he were to knock him down with just a finger, it would be much easier for him to accept.

"Huh? It's all done? Then I'll go down."

Zhengping breathed a sigh of relief. After seeing Zhang Huaidan nod slightly, he stumbled back to the group of disciples.

"Zhengping, how are you feeling right now?"

"What methods did the Tenth Master use?"

The disciples couldn't help but gather around, but Zhengping looked completely bewildered and knew nothing about it.

Zhang Huaidan then said, "Ninth Senior Brother, I want to eat emperor crab."

The people surrounding Zhengping immediately fell silent, their eyes flashing with a terrifying light.

"King crab is great! We have to eat king crab!"

What is a king crab?

"A crab that costs several thousand yuan." "So expensive, it must be delicious! No wonder it's Master Shi. I thought bird's nest and shark fin were the most delicious delicacies in the world."

The disciples started jeering, and their voices reached Rongshan's ears.

His face.

It turned green in a flash.

Rong Shan's face turned ashen, and he looked pleadingly at Zhang Huaidan, who pretended not to see him.

"Quiet, quiet!"

Rong Shan coughed heavily a few times: "I think it would be better if I celebrated for Zhengping and Zhengping celebrated for me. But that would be too much trouble. Let's just cancel each other out."

His eyes lit up as he spoke, and facing the group of disciples who rolled their eyes, he said, "It's not that I'm stingy, it's mainly for Zhengping's sake. Think about it carefully, if I invite Emperor Crab, will Zhengping's status be lowered?"

Rong Shan sighed deeply: "I didn't want him to spend too much money. Besides, we are a quiet place of Taoism. As cultivators, why should we care about pomp and circumstance!"

He waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the canteen and have a good celebration!"

He even warmly invited, "Huai Dan, let's go together."

Zhang Huaidan remained expressionless; he had overestimated Rong Shan's integrity.

The disciples sighed and lamented. Oh dear, Master Rongshan couldn't accept defeat and was resorting to cheating. And you know what? When he started cheating, no one could do anything about it.

Just then, a laugh rang out from afar: "Rongshan, is that all you've got?"

Rong Shan's smile froze. He looked in the direction of the voice and called out dryly, "Uncle-Master, Master..."

"Grand Tutor!"

"Grand Uncle!"

As the two approached, Tian Jinzhong chuckled and said, "If you're reluctant to part with it, your uncle will pay for Zhengping to celebrate. He's never even tasted emperor crab before."

Zhengping, flattered by the gesture, responded loudly, "How could I let my grandmaster uncle go to such lengths? I'll cover both matches myself!"

Tian Jinzhong smiled broadly and glanced at Rong Shan: "Take a look."

Rong Shan was under immense pressure. Looking at Tian Jinzhong's smiling face, Zhang Zhiwei chuckled helplessly and said, "No need, no need, I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Tian Jinzhong gave him a careful look.

"Tsk tsk, Rongshan, you absolutely mustn't force yourself!"

Rong Shan gave a smile that looked more like a grimace: "No, not at all."

"Great! Ninth Master is treating!"

"Master Jiu is so generous!"

The disciples were making a fuss, what could Rongshan say?

Tian Jinzhong then shifted his gaze from him and turned to Zhang Huaidan: "Huaidan, what just now?"

Everyone present pricked up their ears, and Zhang Huaidan didn't hide anything: "It is indeed a derived secret technique, but the Golden Light Great Completion is still a bit short of being fully mastered. Even if it is mastered..."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded slightly. After observing for so long, he had figured out a thing or two.

Even if one masters this secret technique, reaching the level Huai Dan just demonstrated is nothing but a pipe dream.

The gap between Zhengping and Rongshan is dozens of times larger, which cannot be bridged by simply increasing the growth rate; the main reason is Huaidan's unique characteristics.

……

Later, Rongshan took out money and sent people down the mountain to make purchases. Wow, he had quite a lot of private money!

Although Zhang Huaidan doesn't care much about food these days, seeing Rong Shan's pained expression is a different kind of spiritual enjoyment.

A day passed quickly, and night fell over the courtyard.

Over this period of time, the true qi in my body has recovered, but the primordial qi is still lacking.

Two hours later.

There is still a trace of primordial energy that is not yet complete.

A premonition suddenly arose in his heart that restoring this last bit of vital energy would likely be quite difficult.

The omen soon came true. He tried his best to recover, but even at midnight, his primordial energy was still not complete.

Why was it just a hair's breadth off?

After dozens of attempts, all to no avail, Zhang Huaidan was utterly baffled. Could it be...?

Is there a deficiency in the balance of Yin and Yang in the body?
He didn't dwell on the speculation and quickly went out to the secluded meditation room specially reserved for him, where the jade coffin lay quietly.

Without saying a word, he lay down inside.

By absorbing the power of Yin into the body, the Yin-Yang balance within the body is instantly disrupted.

If it were anyone else, they would have been in a panic, and might even have gone mad, but he was no ordinary person.

After a little effort, Zhang Huaidan calmly regained his balance and emerged from the Jade Marrow Coffin. However, he had a headache. It turned out that the Yin-Yang balance in his body was already in a perfect state, with no deficiencies.

Why is it that this wisp of primordial energy cannot be restored for so long?
This problem has never existed before.

Zhang Huaidan pondered deeply, and a thought suddenly struck him: Could it be related to what happened during the day?
He used the "Shared Boat" technique, which he had learned from the Tongtian Talisman, to help others on more than one occasion.

But a scene like that during the day was definitely a first.

The gap between Zhengping and Rongshan is simply too vast; sending true qi there would have no effect whatsoever.

In order to punish the "stinking intellectuals," what was sent was not true qi, but primordial qi.

This is why Rongshan has that unshakeable feeling, because their essences are already different.

That wisp of primordial energy was naturally consumed, and he was just one wisp away from being fully recovered.

'Is the vital energy transferred to others irretrievable?'

Zhang Huaidan was startled. If he couldn't recover, it would be equivalent to losing his cultivation!
If you deplete your cultivation during the day to manage Rongshan, that would be a huge loss.

However, Zhang Huaidan quickly rejected this answer.

'No, that's not how it works.'

During the day, his vital energy was still somewhat depleted, and it wasn't until night that he experienced that slight deficiency, which had nothing to do with what happened during the day. His thoughts began to wander.

'Or perhaps the Way of Heaven is flawed and cannot be perfect? ​​What happened before? Besides, I've only transformed 60% of my True Qi into Primordial Qi.'

After thinking for a moment, he didn't dwell on it any longer. To put it bluntly, the worst outcome would be nothing more than losing a bit of his cultivation, which he could simply rebuild.

As my mind calmed down, perhaps influenced by a mindset of letting things take their natural course, the premonition suddenly dissipated.

While Zhang Huaidan was filled with doubt and uncertainty, that wisp of primordial energy that could not be restored was instantly restored.

Sixty percent of the true qi transforms into primordial qi, which means that one has walked more than half of the path of a true person and has survived at least one great tribulation. One can be called a quasi-true person, and supernatural powers will naturally arise.

By a stroke of luck, Zhang Huaidan embarked on the path of physical immortality during this period, and has now finally returned to the right path.

At the same time, he also clearly understood the path he was about to take, which was completely different from his previous somewhat vague approach.

Yesterday, I even truly felt a connection between my mind and a part of that great road.

Many strange things happened.

At this moment, he once again assumed the status and power of a near-real person.

Previously, due to insufficient physical training, he was essentially a minor wielding a large sword, lacking in control of his strength and many other aspects.

Now, there are no longer any physical shortcomings.

The three characters "准真人" (literally "quasi-real person").

It truly lives up to its name.

Furthermore, it led to a clearer understanding of the Great Dao that transcends the four paths.

And so, a mysterious change occurred.

It arrived silently. (End of Chapter)
