Chapter 336 Turn Me into King
"I see, no wonder you're so confident~"

Zhuge Qing shook his arm, which was numb from the shock, and directly flung out the Yin and Yang energy of Tai Chi that was attached to it.

He looked at Wang Ye, who was calm across from him. Instead of feeling defeated, he showed a sense of understanding after solving the mystery.

After the series of exchanges just now, he roughly figured out Wang Ye's abilities...

If the Wuhou Qimen technique is the ultimate "external seeking," which is to follow the principles of heaven and earth and leverage the power of the entire environment for one's own use through precise calculation and layout, then Feng Hou Qimen has taken a different path.

The Wuhou Qimen Dunjia is like building a giant waterwheel on a rushing river, using the power of the river itself to propel the waterwheel.

After the wind blows, it directly reverses the river channel, allowing the water to change direction according to its own will.

The former follows the natural order, achieving great results with minimal effort, with a wide range of influence and low labor cost. The troublesome part is the process of building the waterwheel. Once built, the power of the river can be easily utilized, and this waterwheel is a tool of a sect's sorcerers.
The latter goes against the natural order, and although its effects are powerful, it will inevitably be subject to backlash and correction from the entire "river system." Therefore, the range of influence it can have is relatively smaller, and the burden on the practitioner is extremely terrifying.

This is the root cause of the various ailments that Wang Ye would experience after using Feng Hou on a large scale, as recorded in the original work—he changed the rules of the outside world, and therefore had to bear the correction of the world.

However, the current king is different...

He was not changing the outside world, but rather constructing a complete, self-consistent "small world" within himself, independent of this world.

In this "small world," he is the only rule, the creator god.

Therefore, the Qimen formation he set up, which covered the entire training ground, naturally lost all meaning for someone who "did not exist" in this spacetime coordinate.

Moreover, that incredible, time-frame-cutting-like movement was probably a variant application of the "Luan Jin Tuo" technique from Feng Hou Qi Men.

The essence of "Luan Jin Tuo" is to change the world and control the changes of specific things within the situation, causing them to enter dimensions of different time flows.

But Wang Ye actually used this external magic on himself...

"Did they figure it out?"

When Wang Ye heard Zhuge Qing's words, a barely perceptible hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, but his heart remained largely unmoved.

He did not doubt Zhuge Qing's judgment. For a genius who had cultivated the "Wuhou Wonders" to such an extent, it would not be difficult for him to see through some of the mysteries behind the wind.

The power of this method lies in the fact that even if you understand the principle, it is almost impossible to crack.

Just as Wang Ye's thoughts were turning, Zhuge Qing on the other side had already made another move!
This time, Zhuge Qing did not use those grand and sweeping Five Elements techniques, but instead chose the fastest and most violent power in Qimen Dunjia.

The character "震" (zhen) signifies thunder!
Zila——!
The blinding blue arcs of electricity were no longer generated out of thin air, but rather spread wildly in all directions like a spider web, centered on Zhuge Qing's body.

That wasn't a bolt of lightning, but a net of lightning woven from countless tiny electric snakes!
Wherever the lightning struck, the hard bluestone slabs were instantly electrolyzed and vaporized, leaving behind scorched grooves.

However, in that tiny fraction of a second when the lightning began to flash, the whole world changed.

The clamor of voices, the howling wind, the dust floating in the air, and even the raging blue lightning were all given an eternal form at this moment, solidifying into a bizarre three-dimensional picture.

Time has stopped.

The only one who could still move was Wang Ye.

The world in his eyes had lost all its vibrant colors, turning into a monotonous gray and white.

Only he himself still retains that color that belongs to life.

This is the ability he mastered after advancing in Feng Hou Qi Men... In ancient times, people used a gnomon to measure the length of the shadow of the sun, and used a gnomon to determine the four seasons and divide them into eight solar terms.

At midday on the summer solstice, a vertical pole casts no shadow, signifying the extreme of Yang.
The winter solstice marks the longest day of the year, when the shadow casts the longest, signifying the extreme of yin.

This led to the establishment of Yin and Yang, the four directions, the Eight Trigrams, the twenty-four solar terms, and ultimately the division into seventy-two pentads.

These seventy-two pentads are the number of the heavens and earth, the underlying laws governing the cycle of birth and death of all things in the universe.

The so-called "innate Qi governs the universe, encompassing the changes of the universe, transforming me into a king" truly means taking one's own innate Qi as the core to govern, simulate, and master the operating principles of the seventy-two phases of the world.

When a cultivator can completely transform themselves into the aggregate of the laws of the universe, they can become any living thing in the world. At that time, they will no longer need to be bound by the rules of any Qimen formation, but can call upon the power of the universe at will.

Of course, he is far from reaching that godlike level.

All he can do now is to use his own heart as the central palace and the Qi mechanism of his internal meridians as the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams to establish a Qimen Dunjia pattern that is entirely his own.

Based on this, by applying the principle of "random gold rubbing", one can temporarily escape one's "existence" into a dimension outside of the normal flow of time.

Because it controls itself rather than interferes with the outside world, the consumption is minimal, yet it can easily achieve things that were unthinkable in the past.

Just like now.

In this dimension where everything is still, he cannot interfere with the outside world, but he can use this to perfectly avoid all attacks and gain an absolute advantage.

This is the source of his confidence to say those words to Zhuge Qing at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

No matter how unpredictable your magic is, how can it possibly harm someone who isn't even on the same timeline as you?
Wang Ye strode forward, his expression calm as he walked through the solidified, menacing blue lightning.

Those electric arcs, powerful enough to melt steel in an instant, were now as docile as static exhibits in a museum, posing no threat to him whatsoever.

He walked step by step toward Zhuge Qing, who remained motionless in his spellcasting posture.

His plan was simple: walk into Zhuge Qing's blind spot and launch an attack the instant Zhuge Qing returned to the normal time flow.

At that time, the balance of power will shift, and victory or defeat will hinge on a single decision.

five meters.

three meters.

one meter.

He had already arrived in front of Zhuge Qing, and could even see the other's pupils slightly contracted due to the casting of the spell.

He prepared to raise his hand, ready to return to reality in the next instant and deliver a thunderous blow to his opponent.

However, at that very moment, Wang Ye's usually calm and composed expression underwent a dramatic change.

His pupils contracted to their maximum size in an instant, and a chill emanating from the depths of his soul spread throughout his body without warning.

Because he saw that Zhuge Qing, who should have been frozen in time, actually... moved his hands that were forming the Thunder Seal.
