Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

"How about we have a sleeping contest? Let's see who sleeps the longest and who falls asleep the fastest."

"Brother Dao, you're in high spirits, using the earth as your bed and the sky as your blanket."

"Maybe I should just admit defeat, since I can't win anyway."

"System, copy."

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained Qimen talent*2, Wudang Qimen*1, and ten years of Qi cultivation*2. Integrate them?]

"Fusion."

Zhou Sheng was indeed a man of hidden talent; his aptitude for Qimen Dunjia far surpassed that of his senior uncle on the mountain. His Qimen numerology was equally impressive. It was just that his Qi quantity was somewhat underwhelming.

Wudang Qimen is no different from most Qimen, using the opponent as the central palace. However, Zhou Sheng seems to have improved it, allowing the central palace to be set at any location. Although it does not have the magic of Feng Hou Qimen, which can freely move the four plates, it is much stronger than other Qimen.

"Really not going to compete?"

"No comparison, no comparison, boring, boring."

"How about we compare our divination skills and predict the major events that will occur eleven years from now?"

"Okay, let me take a look."

Zhou Sheng made a mistake that all those who study Qimen Dunjia make: he was too curious, but little did he know that curiosity killed the cat.

Zhou Sheng entered the inner world and inquired in his mind about the major events that would happen eleven years later. A giant fireball, as big as the sun, appeared, and Zhou Sheng cursed.

"**You son of a bitch, Shi Xing, you've secretly plotted against me, your grandpa."

Zhou Sheng hurriedly exited the inner realm, uncontrollably spitting out a mouthful of blood onto the steps.

Hinata Hoshino looked at Zhou Sheng with a smile, while Zhou Sheng tried his best to maintain the demeanor of a monk.

Until Hyuga Hoshino leaned closer to Zhou Sheng and whispered a few words, Zhou Sheng's jaw nearly dropped in astonishment. This was a battle for the fate of the nation; no wonder it was such a massive fireball.

Hinata Hoshino's words were only five words: "The Japanese serpent tries to devour the dragon."

Zhou Sheng was completely convinced. He knew that he was no match for Hyuga Hoshino in a head-on confrontation, but he never expected that even the art of divination would be so thoroughly defeated.

"Brother Dao, please come with me up the mountain."

Zhou Meng looked at the dejected Zhou Sheng with curiosity.

Zhou Sheng is definitely a propagator and promoter of the "mourning culture" of this era. However, Zhou Meng has never seen his senior brother so dejected.

"Senior brother, you lost?"

"Yes, Xiao Meng, you lost completely, utterly and miserably."

"Senior brother, it's just that you didn't win, why are you so discouraged?"

"Xiao Meng, you don't understand."

How do you know I don't understand if you don't tell me?

"Xiao Meng, what do you think of our master's Tai Chi skills?"

"Invincible under heaven".

"What if I told you that someone could beat Master using Tai Chi? Would you believe me?"

"This? I don't know."

"That's right. I thought my talent in Qimen Dunjia was unparalleled in the world, but I never expected to suffer such a crushing defeat today."

"what?"

Zhou Sheng patted Zhou Meng's head, rode away on his donkey, and watched Zhou Sheng's desolate figure as he walked away, Zhou Meng said he didn't understand.

Chapter 166 Zhenwu's Invitation, Fluttering Moths

Wudang Mountain, Zixiao Palace, and the small grassy bushes beside it.

The current headmaster, who could urinate three feet into the wind, received a thumbs-up from Hyuga Hoshino.

"Impressive skill."

The old man was so startled that he almost spilled some water on his trousers. He quickly got dressed.

"Is that the young friend from Shixing in Maoshan?"

The Wudang sect leader approached Hinata Hoshino, preparing to shake hands. Hinata Hoshino subtly stepped back a few paces, avoiding his hand.

When have you ever seen a Taoist priest from this era who shakes hands when they meet, but doesn't bow? Hyuga Hoshino could see clearly that the old man hadn't washed his hands.

Realizing that his intentions had been seen through, he wiped his hands on his Taoist robe.

"Please come into the main hall for a discussion."

The statue of Zhenwu the Great exudes divine might, and Hyuga Hoshino gazes at it. A beam of light emanates from the center of the statue's brow, enveloping Hyuga Hoshino.

Hinata Hoshino scanned his surroundings, not entering in spirit form, but in his true form.

Before him stood the True Martial Emperor, who looked just like Xu Fengnian. Hyuga Hoshino scratched his head, wondering what was going on.

"Young friend, are you wondering where this place is?"

"Uh, that's alright, but Your Majesty, your name is Liu Changsheng, not Xu Fengnian, right?"

"It's all me, yet it's not me. Young friend, how do you interpret it?"

"Is it an incarnation?"

"Maybe, maybe not. I remember a turtle, it seems to be related to me, but I can't quite remember."

Hinata Hoshino didn't know what to say; the turtle probably referred to Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda. That's a rather broad range of topics.

"Young friend, why don't you go and take a look at this world of young people?"

The True Martial Emperor pointed to himself, and Hyuga Hoshino looked puzzled, as if to say, "So you know that too."

"Okay, I'll go check out Joy of Life."

Just as Hinata Hoshino was about to say that the True Martial Emperor was still watching TV series, the True Martial Emperor unleashed a palm strike.

"No, it is in the snow. Now, in the name of Zhenwu, I bestow upon Maoshan Shixing the authority. Five-colored clouds and rosy twilight linger, I close my eyes and look inward, only then do I realize that my body is a grotto heaven, and that Huangting is indeed a blessed land."

Hyuga Hoshino primarily focuses on the Seven Gods of the Face and the Five Internal Organs, practicing external methods to resonate with the sun, moon, and stars, but has not yet prepared for further training.

The True Martial Emperor's palm strike opened all 365 acupoints in Hyuga Hoshino's body, causing the Big Dipper to shine brightly even in broad daylight. Seven acupoints in Hyuga Hoshino's body resonated with the Big Dipper.

My mind was almost numb when another neighbor arrived.

Tanzhong acupoint: also known as Tanlang Star or Tianshu.

A point is suspended in front of the Tianmu acupoint: Jumen Star, Tianxuan.

Niwan acupoint: Lu Cun star, Tian Ji

Jiaji points: Wenquxing, Tianquan

Mingmen acupoint: Lianzhen star, Yuheng

Dantian Qi Points: Wuqu Star, Kaiyang

The Sea Bottom Point: Po Jun Star, Yao Guang

The acupoints have been opened, signifying the entry into the external practice of Huangting; the completion of the Big Dipper technique signifies some initial success.

Hinata Hoshino returned to the main hall and looked at the statue of Emperor Zhenwu. He couldn't help but curl his lip. These big shots really love to scheme.

Hinata Hoshino was preparing to leave the mountain. He couldn't stay in Wudang any longer. The Wudang Sect Leader flicked his whisk and waved goodbye to Hinata Hoshino with a smile.

He activated his White Eyes and noticed that the Wudang Sect Leader's bladder seemed fine, not like he needed to use the restroom, so he turned and headed down the mountain without looking back.

The sky quickly darkened. Hyuga Hoshino glanced around and saw that there was no village or shop in sight. He decided to just use the Kamui Dimension to get by.

Hinata Hoshino stroked his chin. In this desolate wilderness, he had never walked at night before. Why not give it a try?

He took out a lantern, threw the relic into it, and instantly, the area within four meters of Hyuga Hoshino was as bright as day.

Hinata Hoshino was a little curious, wondering if anything would dare to provoke him. Looking at the shimmering Buddhist light, Hinata Hoshino figured it was unlikely.

"Sister, look, what a powerful Buddha light!"

"Yes, sister, he must be a Buddhist master. If we devour him, our cultivation will definitely improve a lot, and we might even ascend directly."

"Qingqing, Susu, with such powerful Buddhist light, we may not be a match for it."

"Sister, you have a thousand years of cultivation, how could you possibly be a match for a mere mortal cultivator?"

"Yes, yes, eldest sister, second sister is right."

In fact, Xiaoqing thought so too at the time. Bai Suzhen, a famous and powerful demon, could not possibly be a match for an ordinary old monk.

Then, Bai Suzhen was imprisoned under Leifeng Pagoda. She should be out now, but she might be trying to steal a man.

After all, almost a hundred years later, Xia Dongqing almost lost his innocence.

Yingying gritted her teeth and decided to give it a try, but only by herself. If she was no match for her, at least her two younger sisters could survive.

"Help! Help! Someone, please help!"

Hinata Hoshino covered his face. These three fluttering moths were plotting loudly, thinking they could hide it from him.

Yingying called out from the edge of the cliff. Hinata Hoshino looked at the suddenly appearing illusory cliff and was speechless. Even if he didn't understand psychology, he should at least study geography.

A vast expanse of flat land suddenly becomes a bottomless cliff; wouldn't she find that quite illogical?

Also, this cry for help sounds somewhat perfunctory; couldn't it have been a little more poignant?

Hinata Hoshino was about to go around when Yingying, like a drowning person grasping at a straw, saw a lifeline.

"Young master, young master, please save me."

Hinata Hoshino pointed to herself and nodded gracefully.

"I?"

"Please, young master, save my life! In this desolate wilderness, I can't find anyone else to ask for help."

"Then why are you in the middle of nowhere?"

“Young master, you may not know this, but I was attacked by bandits on the roadside. With nowhere to go, I fell off a cliff. I beg you to lend me your help. I will repay your kindness with my own body.”

Hinata Hoshino touched his face. It seemed his looks were alright. Otherwise, he might have thought, "I have no way to repay you. I would gladly be your slave in the next life."
