Under One Person: Sincerity Moves the Gods

Chapter 21 Li Pai Reversed 8 Directions

Ghost Hand King raised his hands, palms facing each other.

Two invisible wisps of energy condensed between his palms. Initially, they were only the size of a fist. Later, as he slowly opened his ten fingers, the wisps of energy expanded like inflated balloons, growing larger and larger until they finally enveloped Ghost Hand King himself and the three Li brothers.

Immediately.

Li Cunzhen felt a slight tremor in his eight meridians.

They both felt a tingling sensation, as if something was gently touching them.

Immediately afterwards, as the Ghost Hand King's Qi circulated within his body, a certain connection began to be established between these eight meridians and the Eight Trigrams of Heaven and Earth. They seemed to transform into a completely new sense, allowing him to see the distribution of the surrounding force field.

It's not just about seeing.

He can also manipulate the direction of those force fields by stimulating the eight meridians in his body.

just like……

All things in heaven and earth are under our control.

The feeling was incredibly strange, even intoxicating. It reminded Li Cunzhen of the descriptions of the sorcerer's inner world in the original work.

In the inner realm, everything is determined by the sorcerer's thoughts; there, the sorcerer can be said to be truly omnipotent.

Compared to the hardships of the real world, the world where one can control everything is naturally more attractive.

As a result, many practitioners who are just beginning to practice Qimen Dunjia become so engrossed in their inner visions that they can no longer escape them.

Right now, Ghost Hand King is leading them to experience the force field that reverses all directions, which is quite similar to the inner scene.

However, the Reversal of the Eight Directions is ultimately a technique that operates in reality, and its control over the force field of heaven and earth is limited by the mastery of the Reversal of the Eight Directions and the practitioner's life cultivation.

That feeling of control over everything lasted only a moment before dissipating, without affecting the two of them in any way.

At that moment, the voice of the Ghost Hand King came again.

Perhaps it was the sense of control that came from reversing the eight directions, or perhaps it was the pride he felt in his unique skill, but his condition was much better than before. The decaying aura that made him look like a dead man had faded considerably, and his back was straighter.

He grinned, revealing a smug smile.

"Close your eyes and feel it."

"The secrets of my Wang School's inverted eight directions are all contained in the stimulation methods of these eight meridians."

His tone was full of pride as he turned to look at Li Muxuan, adding a special remark:

"Kid, you were right before, this technique does indeed originate from the Jiyun Society. But the Jiyun Society's 'Reversal of the Eight Directions' can only stimulate the Ren and Du meridians, and its control over the force field of heaven and earth is extremely crude."

"It was this old man, Wang Yaozu, who painstakingly researched and developed a method to stimulate the other six meridians, which is how we differentiated ourselves from the methods of the Jiyun Society and established our own school."

"So, anyone with a bit of knowledge in the martial arts world knows that my method is called the Wang School's Reversal of Eight Directions."

Speaking of it.

Ghost Hand King puffed out his thin chest.

"Although I am the only one left who can reverse the eight directions of the Huiwang Sect, as long as this method is passed down, I will be the founder of this sect."

"You won't lose out by learning a craft from the master craftsman."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan remained noncommittal and closed his eyes.

Li Cunzhen also silently closed his eyelids.

The two focused their minds and began to feel the mutual influence between the eight meridians in their bodies and the eight trigrams of heaven and earth, trying to remember the route of the Ghost Hand King's Qi in the meridians.

This lesson lasted for half an hour.

Ghost Hand King kept his hands supporting the ball of energy enveloping the three of them, maintaining the force field while guiding the two children's meridians, which greatly exhausted his mental energy. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, trickling down the lines of his face, and his breathing gradually became heavy.

Finally, he withdrew his hands, and the ball of energy slowly dissipated.

The village girl, who had been watching from the sidelines, frowned when she saw that Ghost Hand King was slightly out of breath when he finished his practice.

"What's wrong with Old Wang? I've never seen him this tired before."

Yuan Jingui leaned against the earthen wall and chuckled.

"Those two little ones are not even ten years old yet, and their meridians are very fragile. His method of reversing the eight directions is inherently complicated, and to make the two little brats sense it clearly, he has to use the most delicate force to guide them. This job is more mentally taxing than fighting a person. For Old Man Wang to be able to last half an hour at his age is already a testament to his vigor."

Upon hearing this, the village girl's eyes flashed with surprise. She glanced at Ghost Hand King's hunched back and pursed her lips, saying:

"Judging from his attitude, he's really determined to teach the Li brothers. He's even resorting to such a strenuous method just to give them a better experience of being turned upside down?"

Yuan Jingui didn't say anything more, but just nodded, his gaze shifting between the Li brothers.

the other side.

At the same moment the gas cloud dissipated, Li Muxuan and Li Cunzhen opened their eyes simultaneously.

Both of them had a thoughtful expression on their faces.

Ghost Hand King wiped the sweat from his forehead, and before he could catch his breath, he asked:

"How was it? Did you grasp anything?"

Li Muxuan spoke first.

"I think I've figured out the method of stimulating the eight meridians and communicating with the eight trigrams, but I haven't reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, so it's hard to verify. If I successfully reach the Foundation Establishment stage, I'll be confident that I can use the Reversal of the Eight Directions technique after a few hours of familiarization."

Ghost Hand King's brow twitched.

It's only been half an hour.

I only demonstrated the technique of stimulating the eight meridians three times, and this kid dares to say he understands it?

If it were just boasting, that would be one thing, but Li Muxuan spoke in a calm and even tone, neither showing off nor lying, but rather as if he were talking about something perfectly normal.

Ghost Hand King stared at Li Muxuan suspiciously for a long time, but couldn't detect the slightest sign of guilt.

His lips slowly parted into a smile.

"Good lad. There isn't even a person in this world who dares to say they can understand the reversed directions in half an hour."

He slapped his thigh, then changed the subject:

"Fine, since you're spouting such nonsense, I'll test your mettle once you've reached the Foundation Establishment stage."

After speaking, he turned to Li Cunzhen, his eyes filled with anticipation.

After all, this big one has already established its foundation.

"And you? What have you realized?"

Li Cunzhen remained silent.

He casually picked up a pebble from the ground and placed it in his right palm. Then he stretched his hand out in front of Ghost Hand King.

The pebble didn't lie quietly in my palm.

It floated up. First it trembled slightly, then it slowly rose and stopped in mid-air.

Then, just like when Ghost Hand King manipulated the bullets during his performances, it began to swing up, down, left, and right, sometimes hovering, sometimes circling around his fingers.

Ghost Hand King's eyes widened.

Before he could speak, Li Muxuan beside him called out first.

"Brother! You've already reached the Foundation Establishment stage?!"

The voices of the Ghost Hand King rang out almost simultaneously:

"A prodigy... he's absolutely a prodigy!"

Both of them stared at Li Cunzhen with incredulous eyes.

Feeling uncomfortable under their gazes, Li Cunzhen touched his nose. He first looked at Li Muxuan and said:

"I started accumulating internal energy half a month earlier than you. I'll tell you the specific reasons after this is over."

Then he turned to Ghost Hand King and chuckled.

"Senior Wang, even if your Wang School is passed down to all directions, you probably won't be able to become the founder."

Ghost Hand King was stunned, not quite understanding:

"What do you mean?"

Li Cunzhen snapped his fingers.

next moment.

A bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from his fingertip!

With a crackling sound, the lightning bolt, barely an inch long, danced on Li Cunzhen's fingertips.

It wasn't thick, nor was it particularly bright, but it was definitely real lightning.

Under Ghost Hand King's shocked gaze, Li Cunzhen withdrew the lightning from his fingertips. Then, in the most ordinary tone, he uttered the most arrogant sentence Ghost Hand King had ever heard in his life.

"because……"

"They would probably consider me their patriarch."
