Under One Person: My Inner Realm Connects to All Worlds!

Chapter 194 The Three Calamities
Within the area covered by the array, the flow of wind, water, air, light, and even the more subtle Qi, all seemed to be under incredibly precise control.

If you can understand the principles of Yin and Yang, you can hold the world in the palm of your hand!

If we say that Zhou Sheng is the intelligent stone monkey who understands change, knows the timing of the day, knows the advantages of the land, can move stars and change constellations, and possesses extraordinary supernatural powers and wisdom...

So, Wang Ye now is like the Five Finger Mountain!

No matter how you change, it's all within my calculations.

Just as the flowing water that Zhou Sheng had transformed into was freed from the constraints of the Du Gate and was about to escape completely, it suddenly discovered that the surrounding environment had changed drastically once again!
"The character 'separation' is like a flaming candle or an ephemeral flower!"

Wang Ye's calm voice rang out.

Instead of directly attacking Zhou Sheng, a flame-shaped flower, purely formed from light and heat, suddenly bloomed in front of Zhou Sheng's escape path, at the Li trigram position.

The light was intense yet not dazzling, the heat was restrained yet distorted the air, and its location and timing perfectly blocked the smoothest "pathway" in the water's transformation.

Water and fire are mutually destructive; upon contact, Zhou Sheng's water elemental transformations were slightly disrupted.

In that brief moment of slight confusion!

"The character 'Zhen' signifies thunder and lightning, awakening the insects!"

A thin, hair-like purple bolt of lightning silently struck down from above the flowing water that Zhou Sheng had transformed into.

It didn't intend to harm him, but it carried an extremely yang and powerful intention that was meant to disturb everything, instantly shattering the harmonious state in which the flowing water blended with its surroundings.

hum!
Zhou Sheng's figure was forced to detach from the flowing water state and revert to his thin, old Taoist appearance.

He stood there, his robes fluttering even without wind, his eyes gleaming, looking at Wang Ye with genuine solemnity and astonishment on his face for the first time.

"Excellent! What a brilliant inescapable trap! What a masterful use of strategy to control the mysteries of the universe!"

Zhou Sheng clapped his hands, his voice hoarse but filled with undisguised excitement, "It's not about blindly attacking, but about calculating every change, using the speed and precision of the formation itself to constantly create tiny interferences and obstacles, accumulating small hindrances into a major stagnation, and finally forcing me to stop my changes... Brilliant!"

"It's as if a dozen or so masters of Qimen Dunjia are simultaneously setting up a trap to scheme against me!"

He looked Wang Ye up and down, as if trying to get to know the young man again: "Kid, your methods are no longer just a bit like Zhuge Liang's style... You've temporarily turned this Wudang Mountain into your 'absolute domain'?"

"Within this realm, whatever you desire, the Qimen Dunjia transformations will occur at your command, and you can even predict and guide my changes?"

"This can be considered a different kind of transformation from king to king!"

Wang Ye scratched his head, and that lazy smile returned to his face, as if he wasn't the one who had just been in control of the situation and forced Zhou Sheng to stop.

"You flatter me. It was just a trick. I was only able to keep up with your pace thanks to the Qi formation I had set up beforehand. When it comes to the subtleties of Qimen Dunjia, I am still far from being a match for you."

Zhou Sheng shook his head: "No need to be so modest. Thorough preparation is also a form of strength. The fact that you were able to set up this scheme and control it is a testament to your ability. Moreover..."

He looked at Wang Ye with a deep gaze: "The foundation of your life force is so profound and pure that it's unbelievable. It's not something you could achieve through hard work at your age. It's more like you've inherited the legacy of some ancient sage. How strange!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye chuckled and changed the subject: "Can we have a proper chat now? About this Feng Hou Qi Men!" "To pass it on, or not to pass it on?"

Zhou Sheng remained silent for a moment, his excitement and admiration gradually fading, and he returned to his calm and unassuming demeanor as an old man from the mountains, but a complex meaning appeared in the depths of his eyes.

He spoke slowly, his voice deepening: "Little one, do you know what Feng Hou Qi Men is?"

Zhou Sheng raised his withered hand and pointed to the still-operating, intricately woven Heaven and Earth Net array around him: "Your scheme is very powerful, trapping heaven and earth with meticulous calculations. But its foundation is ultimately the power of this world itself; what you have done is guide and utilize it."

"And Feng Hou Qi Men..."

Zhou Sheng's gaze seemed to pierce through the void. "Its original foundation is 'I', which is the 'center,' the movement of the mind, responding to changes, and then transcending heaven and earth."

In other words, this game of yours... can't trap me!

"Little one, since you already possess such profound knowledge of Qimen Dunjia, why are you so envious of my Feng Hou Qimen Dunjia?"

Wang Ye shook his head: "It's not because I'm envious, but because of a certain monkey. Besides, I want to learn from others' strengths and achieve my own path. I also want to see if there's anything about Feng Hou Qi Men that I can learn from."

"Looks like it won't work!"

Zhou Sheng shook his head, and suddenly transformed into a drop of water, falling with a plop and seeping into the soil. The next moment, a clump of bushes next to him grew wildly, its branches and leaves spreading and stretching out, reaching towards Wang Ye's face. Zhou Sheng had actually transformed into grass and trees!

"Jing Gate, fire!"

Flames appeared out of nowhere, encircling Wang Ye and instantly burning the incoming vegetation to ashes.

But the ashes scattered and did not fall; instead, they were blown by a gentle breeze, swirling and rising upwards, vaguely transforming into the shape of a bird.

This week, the Sage's mastery of the universe has reached a state of perfection. He can effortlessly manipulate the seventy-two pentads and still thrive amidst the complex and unpredictable formations.

Each time, at the most critical moments, I could find that tiny gap in the formation's operation, transform into something that matched it, and almost escape.

But can Zhou Sheng really transcend the Three Realms and be outside the Five Elements, as he claims?
Is this Qimen formation really unable to trap him?
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Wang Ye's lips.

Although Zhou Sheng can transform into all sorts of naturally occurring and nurtured things to deal with the biological and chemical restraint, what if he is not a naturally occurring and nurtured thing?

How can the other party overcome this?

"Zhou Sheng, I want to see if you can really escape these three calamities."

In mythology, those who cultivate themselves to attain enlightenment violate the principles of heaven and earth, disrupt the balance of the universe, and steal the creation of heaven and earth, encroaching upon the mysteries of the sun and moon. After achieving the elixir, although they may retain their youth and prolong their lives, they are intolerable to ghosts and gods.

Therefore, five hundred years from now, when a calamity of lightning strikes you, you must see your true nature and understand your heart to avoid it in advance. If you manage to escape, you will live as long as heaven; if you cannot, you will perish.

Five hundred years later, a raging fire will descend from the heavens and burn you. This fire is neither heavenly fire nor ordinary fire; it is called Yin Fire. It will start from the Yongquan acupoint on your soles, burn straight through to the Niwan Palace, turn your internal organs to ash, and rot your limbs, rendering your thousand years of arduous practice futile.

Five hundred years later, another windstorm will strike you. This wind is not the wind from the southeast, northwest, or south; it is not the gentle north wind, nor the wind blowing through the flowers, willows, pines, and bamboos; it is called the Bi Wind. It blows into your six internal organs through your fontanelle, passes through your dantian, and penetrates your nine orifices, causing your bones and flesh to disintegrate and your body to crumble.

Lightning, fire, and wind disasters are known as the three calamities!
The reason Sun Wukong learned those seventy-two transformations was to avoid it. Even the real Monkey King had to avoid it. So what about Zhou Sheng, this Marquis?
