Chapter 335 Transcending the Three Realms, Outside the Five Elements

Wang Ye's casual question was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.

"Who is this kid? He's so arrogant!"

"Wang Ye from Wudang Mountain practices Tai Chi."

"That's it? Who is Zhuge Qing? What gives him the right to be so arrogant?"

The discussion was surging, and almost everyone looked at Wang Ye with incomprehension.

In their eyes, Zhuge Qing was at least a figure of the level of two heroes. His unpredictable magic and the divine power of Zhuge Wuhou showed that he was not on the same level as them, his peers.

Wang Ye, who appears lazy and whose methods are merely ordinary Tai Chi, dared to ask such a question in public. This was not confidence, but arrogance.

"Sister Bao'er, do you think this Taoist priest has something wrong with his head?"

Zhang Chulan, watching from below the stage, was also stunned. He nudged Feng Baobao next to him.

"He's serious."

Feng Baobao, with something in her mouth, gave a vague evaluation.

On the arena, facing the deafening clamor, Zhuge Qing's smile remained unchanged.

He was not angered by the seemingly offensive remark; instead, he looked Wang Ye up and down with great interest.

"Ha~"

"There is still a possibility of failure..."

After all, even I can't guarantee that every experiment will be successful.

Zhuge Qing chuckled and replied.

Science is essentially a process of trial and error, leading to the discovery of the correct answer.

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing Zhuge Qing's reply, Wang Ye scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly, revealing an awkward expression that said, "Oh dear, I've killed the conversation."

"Alright, Master Wang, let's see who's truly skilled in combat!"

Zhuge Qing's smile faded, his expression returning to calm, but his composure and confidence became all the more compelling.

The moment he finished speaking, he gently stepped forward with his right foot.

hum-

An invisible wave emanated from his landing point and spread out instantly like ripples on water, covering the entire huge training ground.

The air suddenly felt thick and viscous, and the light seemed to be refracted. Everyone present, whether it was Wang Ye on the stage or the audience below, felt a strange sensation that everything about them was being incorporated into a precise chessboard.

The Qimen Dunjia formation is complete.

"Oh?"

However, the next moment, the calm composure on Zhuge Qing's face changed slightly for the first time, replaced by surprise.

In his perception, every blade of grass, every grain of sand, every stone, and even every wisp of Qi flowing in the air within this Qimen formation, which spans a hundred feet in radius, is clearly reflected in his mind and can be freely deduced and controlled by him.

This is similar to how, once you know the initial state and forces acting on a small ball, you can use a precise formula to accurately calculate the ball's state in the next second, or even further into the future.

But then, the king also disappeared.

It wasn't that it was too fast to catch, nor that it used some kind of illusion to hide its form.

He stood there, visible to the naked eye, but from the perspective of "Qimen," the variable representing the existence of "Wang Ye" vanished into thin air.

It was as if this person did not exist in this time and space at all, and did not belong to this world.

"interesting……"

After a brief moment of astonishment, Zhuge Qing's lips curled into an even wider smile, and his eyes blazed with intense light.

That wasn't anger, it was curiosity...

Since conventional methods fail to lock on, let's... try this...

The next moment, Zhuge Qing made a hand seal, and the surrounding air distorted and turned crimson at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The word "separation"—purgatory!
boom!
Without warning or warning, towering flames rose out of nowhere, transforming into a sea of ​​fire that instantly engulfed the entire arena.

A wave of scorching heat washed over us, making even the audience dozens of meters away feel parched and their skin sting.

"Wow! This area is way too big!"

Zhang Chulan, standing in the stands, let out a strange cry and almost jumped up from his seat.

If he were up there, it would be questionable whether his golden light spell could last even a second!

Little Fire God Hong Bin turned pale. As a cultivator specializing in fire magic, he could clearly sense the power contained in that sea of ​​fire. Both its power and range far exceeded his understanding.

"This kid's going to kill me!"

On the other side, Old Master Lu Jin's face darkened, and he abruptly stood up, his entire body surging with energy. He was about to rush to the rescue when he realized that the power of this technique far exceeded the scope of a mere sparring match. An old but strong hand pressed down on his shoulder.

Lu Jin turned around and saw Zhang Zhiwei still sitting calmly, only his hand holding the teacup was frozen in mid-air.

"Alright, Lao Lu,"

"Little Wang isn't so easily defeated..."

Zhang Zhiwei said calmly, "Based on what I saw last night, Wang Ke won't be defeated so easily."

As if to confirm his words.

Right in the heart of that inferno, strong enough to melt gold and iron, a faint green shoot stubbornly emerged.

It was a newly grown tree trunk that, instead of being burned by the flames, was growing wildly at a rate that defied the laws of nature.

Those domineering flames seemed to become its nourishment, greedily absorbed and transformed by the patterns on the tree trunk.

In the blink of an eye, a towering tree with lush foliage and vibrant greenery rose from the sea of ​​fire, engulfing all the flames.

Then, something even more unbelievable happened.

The outline of that large, vibrant tree began to blur and flow. Leaves turned into water droplets, branches converged into streams, and the solid trunk finally liquefied completely, spinning with a roar, transforming into a surging torrent that crashed down on Zhuge Qing!
The generating and restraining relationships reverse, and wood transforms into water!
Zhuge Qing's eyes narrowed, and he quickly retreated while simultaneously using his magic.

The character "艮" (Gen) represents Kunlun!
Boom!

A massive, heavy earthen wall rose from the ground, blocking his way.

However, the stream of water that originated from the trees seemed to disregard the ironclad rules of the Five Elements.

In the instant of contact, the tall earthen wall crumbled and disintegrated like a sandcastle, turning into a raging torrent of muddy water.

Seeing this, everyone on the sidelines was stunned, their minds blank.

"That doesn't make sense. I remember earth is supposed to overcome water, right?"

Zhang Chulan muttered to himself, his face showing an expression of utter disbelief.

In order to deal with Zhuge Qing, he crammed a lot of information on Qimen Dunjia.

He knew that the essence of a sorcerer's Qimen Dunjia was to borrow the power of heaven and earth.

The same lightning spell, when cast by a sorcerer, will be more powerful and have a wider range than the Yang Five Lightning he himself cultivated.

But everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Water flows downhill, and the wind rises from high places. All things in the universe have their own inherent laws of operation.

To utilize this power, one must follow its rules, a process that is quite complex and far less free than the Qi generated by oneself.

The underlying logic of these rules is Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

Above that are the Eight Trigrams, the Nine Palaces, the Heavenly Stems, the Earthly Branches... However, just now, right before everyone's eyes, the most basic and fundamental rule of the Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint was overturned.

The water cascaded down and disappeared in an instant, leaving behind only a messy scene.

In that brief moment, Zhuge Qing's figure flickered like a ghost, appearing silently behind Wang Ye and striking him in the back with a palm!
This palm strike was fast, accurate, and ruthless, containing pure internal energy.

However, just as the palm strike was about to touch Wang Ye's robes, Wang Ye's figure swayed like a reflection in water, turning into a fleeting afterimage.

Zhuge Qing's palm strike missed its mark, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

A strong sense of crisis came from behind!

Wang Ye's figure appeared behind him instead!

Zhuge Qing reacted extremely quickly, almost instinctively twisting his waist and turning around, crossing his arms to protect his chest.

boom!
With a muffled thud, Zhuge Qing was sent flying backward, his feet carving two deep furrows in the hard bluestone ground. He slid for more than ten meters before finally coming to a stop.

"How could Wudang possibly possess such methods?!"

Lu Jin stared intently at Wang Ye in the arena with his tiger-like eyes, his face filled with disbelief and shock.

He could see clearly that Wang Ye's movement just now was neither fast nor a technique for traversing space.

That feeling... was like a frame of time being cut off; he was there one moment, and the next moment he appeared in another place without any process.

Such methods were truly beyond his comprehension...

"Transcending the Three Realms, and outside the Five Elements..."

A gentle voice sounded in Lu Jin's ear, as if to answer his question.

Zhang Zhiwei had also stood up at some point. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Wang Ye in the arena, and murmured:
"Such unbelievable methods, Wudang does have them..."

Upon hearing Zhang Zhiwei's words, Lu Jin was taken aback. A thought flashed through her mind, and a long-forgotten name surfaced in her heart.

He abruptly turned to look at Zhang Zhiwei, his voice trembling slightly:

"You mean... Feng Hou Qi Men?!"
