Chapter 226 Eight Wonders
Perhaps this planet has not produced a figure like Li Ang for many years, but it is certainly unrealistic to say that no one has ever become an immortal since ancient times.

This was the conclusion Li Ang reached after reviewing the techniques sent by several other Xuanmen sects.

Unlike the Sanyi Sect, whether it is the Celestial Master's Mansion, Wudang, or Shangqing, these orthodox Xuanmen sects are more or less related to immortals.

Even though the difficulty of achieving immortality through these methods is no different from that of the improved Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique, it still shows that this planet once had an existence similar to Li Ang.

The key problem is that Li Ang did not experience any sense of ascension whatsoever.

'Could it be because I ascended to immortality through the professional panel?'

Looking at the various spells laid out in front of him, a hint of doubt flashed in Li Ang's eyes.

If there's any difference between him and the immortals recorded in ancient texts, it's probably only in his class stats.

Or is it that...?

Ascension never existed.

Recalling the energy he felt when he used the "Principle of the Circulation of Qi" not long ago, Li Ang frowned slightly.

The world of one is not as simple as it seems. If he wants to complete the mission in the main universe, he still needs to figure out some of the oddities.

However, in any case, not being able to ascend is ultimately a good thing.

While it's unlikely that the scenario of a prodigy from the lower realm ascending to become one of 100,000 heavenly soldiers, as depicted in some novels, would be possible to dominate a low-level game if one could simply dominate a low-level one.

Thinking of this, Li Ang flicked his fingers, and the magic in front of him automatically closed without any wind.

Perhaps out of respect, the spells sent by each sect were mostly ancient texts, and no one mentioned returning them.

However, after reading through them, Li Ang still intended to return them to their rightful owner. It wasn't that he couldn't keep them, but rather that these ancient books were no longer of any use to him.

After half a month of study, he basically figured out the eight extraordinary skills from the original storyline.

This is partly due to the ancient books, and partly because Li Ang had a general understanding of the Eight Extraordinary Skills.

With his current perspective, it would be incredibly easy for him to deduce this from scratch.

[Telepathy (Specialty): Compared to ordinary people, you will find it easier to communicate with the heavens and the earth].

【Divine Refinement (Skill): The pinnacle of mechanical arts, weapon crafting, object manipulation, and object transformation, capable of creating complex and highly agile machines】.

【Sage Thief (Skill): Can instantly decompose ingested substances to replenish one's own energy. When ingesting certain special substances, it can also greatly improve the user's attributes】.

【Spirit Binding and Command (Skill): Able to forcibly control the opponent and make them work for oneself, ignoring the will of the spirit】.

【Dual Hands (Skill): Revives the dead and restores flesh to bones, reads memories and modifies cognition; the body and soul are completely unable to escape the control of these hands】.

These are the skills and specialties that Li Ang developed under the influence of the [Immortal] profession after learning certain of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

Some of the names have changed, and some haven't.

But regardless of whether it changes, it is still closely related to its essence.

Of course, not all of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques are easy to master, such as [Qi Body Source Flow] and [Great Luo Cave Observation].

The former should have a similar effect to Wugensheng's [Divine Spirit], perhaps even stronger, but it should still fall under the category of [Qi Regulation], so Li Ang did not spend too much time on it.

The latter.
To be honest, although Li Ang roughly understood the effects of the [Great Luo Cave Observation], it was still a bit too abstract.

A higher-dimensional perspective, transcendence.
There are many concepts that can roughly describe the abilities of [Da Luo Dong Guan], and Li Ang even has a movie in his mind where the protagonist's ability is similar to [Da Luo Dong Guan].

In "Lucy," the protagonist eventually transforms into a higher-dimensional life form with the help of a mysterious pill, and the abilities he displays are extremely similar to those of the "Great Luo Cave Observation."

Even so, Li Ang still had no clue how to acquire this ability.

More importantly, even with Li Ang's current strength, the [Great Luo Cave Observation] is still an extremely important ability.

If he can learn this ability, his safety will be greatly improved when he returns to the main universe or even travels to some bizarre worlds.

Thinking of this, Li Ang's eyes flickered.

'It seems I still need to have a talk with Gu Qiting.'

Because Wugensheng's sworn brotherhood plan was interrupted by him, the creator of the Great Luo Cave Observation is currently alive and well.

However, at this point in time, the other party should not have been able to comprehend the [Great Luo Cave Observation].

However, this was nothing to Li Ang. At most, he would take this person to the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley again, and whether it would work out was another matter.

After dealing with the matter concerning the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, Li Ang began to ponder the newly issued mission from the main universe.

'Analyzing the origin of the world'

It was a bit abstract, and Li Ang, who was doing this kind of work for the first time, didn't know where to start. To be honest, he even felt that this task was making things difficult for a mere fifth-level professional like himself.

Fortunately, with the inherent characteristics of the [Immortal] and the help of the [Tongtian] transformed from the Tongtian Talisman, he still had some clues.

That's right, "Tongtian" is derived from the Tongtian Lu, since Taoist talismans are essentially for communicating with heaven and earth.

Of course, some people also recruit others, which is why reputable sects are more likely to succeed when setting up altars and drawing talismans.

They have powerful connections.

However, the Tongtianlu (通天简) can bypass this restriction and communicate directly with the Heavenly Emperor.

The name "Tongtian Tongtian" already reveals its essence; drawing talismans by hand is merely an outward manifestation.

In addition, with the inherent characteristics of the [Immortal] class, Li Ang felt as if he was born to do world development.

However, world development is something that obviously cannot be completed in a short period of time, so he is not in a hurry.

With that thought in mind, Li Ang put away the ancient books in front of him and then left the quiet room.

After such a long period of seclusion, it's time to deal with the things left over from before.

As the door to the meditation room slowly opened, the disciples of the Sanyi Sect standing outside were taken aback, then bowed respectfully: "Senior Brother Li, is there anything I can do for you?"

Since Zuo Ruotong is still alive, Li Ang is still considered a disciple in the Sanyi Sect.

He didn't care about this, especially since he was a disciple, but his fellow disciples usually treated him with the respect due to a teacher.

“No need.” Li Ang waved his hand slightly. “From today onwards, there’s no need for anyone to wait here.”

Upon hearing this, the disciple was taken aback at first, then a hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "I understand, Senior Brother Li."

For the Sanyi Sect, the emergence of their immortal from seclusion was undoubtedly good news, as there were many matters that required his decision.

After giving a brief instruction to his disciple, Li Ang looked towards the location of the main hall in the center of the gate.

'Western alchemists, huh?'

With his current strength, he naturally knew who Zuo Ruotong was currently receiving.

Li Ang was not surprised by the arrival of these alchemists.

After all, the "Principles of the Cycle of Change" had caused such a commotion before, it would be strange if these alchemists didn't react.

Thinking of this, Li Ang vanished from the spot in a flash.

When he reappeared, he was already in the main hall of the Trinity Gate. The white men who had been chatting happily with Zuo Ruotong were taken aback when they saw the figure suddenly appear in the hall, but they quickly realized who the newcomer was.

At this moment, they looked at the extraordinary young man, exchanged glances subconsciously, and then the leader spoke up: "You must be Immortal Li? Your demeanor is indeed extraordinary."

These alchemists were very respectful and spoke fluent Chinese, clearly indicating that they had done their homework before approaching them.

Rather, given the deterrent effect of the previous "Principles of the Cycle of Changes," no normal person would rashly provoke such a powerful being.

"I already know why you are here."

Despite the flattery from the group of alchemists, Li Ang remained unmoved, simply flipping his right hand to take out a bottle of pale green reagent.

"I happen to know a little about alchemy, so I'll take this and go back to the West to spread my name."

With that, Li Ang tossed the object in his hand to the alchemists who were staring intently at his right hand.

Seeing the pale green reagent trace a graceful arc in mid-air, the group of alchemists from the West panicked and hurriedly caught it, afraid that it would fall to the ground.

At that moment, the leading alchemist looked at the reagent in his hand and couldn't help but swallow hard: "This is..."

Seeing that the other party seemed unaware that he knew alchemy, Li Ang glanced at Zuo Ruotong with some surprise. He hadn't expected that his master hadn't told anyone about it.

Noticing her disciple's gaze, Zuo Ruotong shook her head slightly, indicating that she had not revealed any information.

Having lived for so many years, he still has some precautions.

Seeing this, Li Ang turned to look at the somewhat puzzled alchemists and chuckled, "It's just the most basic longevity potion."

After he finished speaking, an alchemical array unfolded beneath his feet, transforming several fruits into liquid out of thin air.

It's called life extension, but it's more accurate to say it restores vitality. He gave this to his master before, and the formula was obtained from Karina, a consultant at the Plant Alliance.

However, Li Ang was not particularly interested in the elixir of immortality, since given his race and profession, lifespan was obviously not a concern for him.

Therefore, he only glanced at Karina's work and did not study it in depth.

Of course, this in-depth discussion is from the perspective of the "King of Bronze and Fire," when facing these top-tier alchemists in the Otherworld.
Li Ang could make them kneel down and call him "father" with just a few random things he made.

At this moment, the alchemists stared blankly at the scene before them, completely surprised that this Eastern immortal was also skilled in alchemy.

Moreover, their skill level seems extremely terrifying.

At the very least, none of the alchemists present could discern which school of alchemy the young man was using.

After a brief silence, a thought flashed through the minds of the alchemists.

'Does this mean that whether it's refining Qi or alchemy, the ultimate goal is the same?'

'No, no, no, how could that be?'

Although both the Xuanmen (mystical arts) and alchemy can be considered philosophical in origin and have many similarities, this conjecture is still too far-fetched.

If that's the case, then it can only mean that the immortal in front of us is exceptionally talented.

Even without refining Qi, one could probably achieve considerable success through alchemy.

Thinking of this, the alchemists couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous.

Why weren't these geniuses born in their region?!

Fortunately, the alchemists who came to the Trinity Gate to gather information were all experts in their respective fields, so they were able to control their emotions in the end.

After confirming that the person in front of him was not joking, the leading alchemist cautiously asked, "To spread your name?"

"What would you like us to do?"

"Is he like the one in the Bible? Or like the master Nicolas Flamel?"

This person's meaning was very clear: the idea of ​​being like the one in the Bible was naturally asking Li Ang if he wanted to portray himself as a god.

Given the previous miraculous phenomenon of the "principle of the celestial cycle," this action was not impossible.

However, that would inevitably lead to conflict, and one should not underestimate the beliefs of religious fanatics.

Let alone immortals, even if a god from another religion appeared before them, they would still charge.

As for the latter.
Nicolas Flamel was a 14th-century alchemist who held an extremely important position in the field of Western alchemy.

"All I need to do is spread my name."

Li Ang shook his head slightly, indicating that he was not interested in becoming a god.

What he wants these alchemists to do now is simply to expand his influence, and to demonstrate alchemy in order to make them more obedient.

The carrot and stick approach is old-fashioned but effective.

Of course, if these people disagree, then he will have to take action himself, but the scene won't be very pleasant then.

Upon hearing this, the group of alchemists secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't the former.

After exchanging a glance, they both lowered their heads: "Your will."

Although they say that, how much effort they will actually put in remains to be seen until they finish analyzing the pale green reagent in their hands.

Li Ang could roughly guess what these alchemists were thinking, after all, he was an alchemist himself.

His reason for doing this was simply to bind himself more deeply to this world, making it easier to analyze the origin of the world.

Although he could achieve a similar goal through violence, don't forget that a one-man world can be developed.

Violence is ultimately unsustainable unless one can remain in this world indefinitely.

Moreover, the subsequent specific matters were managed by his android maids, so it wasn't a big problem for him.

Thinking of this, Li Ang looked to the north.

That was the anomaly that the [Principle of the Changes of the Heavenly Cycle] had previously detected.

'What a strange aura.'

With some doubt, Li Ang vanished in an instant.

Inside the hall, Zuo Ruotong sighed as she watched her disciple disappear again.

Based on the conversation just now, the Great Ying Immortal was even more certain that Li Ang was hiding a great secret.

'The West, alchemists—how could they not recognize you, my good disciple?'

Thinking of this, Zuo Ruotong couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

It's normal for children to have secrets as they grow up, and as an elder, all he can do is offer a little help.

Although he didn't know what his disciple was planning to do, judging from his past behavior, it probably wasn't anything bad.

Thinking this, Zuo Ruotong looked at the alchemists in the hall who seemed somewhat confused.

There are some things that Li Ang didn't say, so he, as the master, will say them.
