Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 629: The movement of the gods, has Senior Brother Zhiwei become an immortal?

The moment he broke free from the shackles of his soul and connected to the bridge between heaven and earth, Zhang Zhiwei felt as if a spring thunder had exploded in his head.

Immediately afterwards, all things revived, and chain reactions occurred in the small world inside the body and the big world outside the body.

In fact, the explosion just now was not only heard by Zhang Zhiwei, but also by other Taoists in the surrounding Taoist rooms. However, it did not explode in their heads, but in their ears. The closer they were to Zhang Zhiwei, the louder the explosion was.

"Thunderbolt out of nowhere, what's going on?"

The fellow disciples around him were puzzled, but when they thought carefully about where the voice came from, they suddenly realized that it came from Zhang Zhiwei.

Zhang Zhiwei often made some loud noises when he was practicing in the past. For a period of time, in order to practice thunder magic, there would be a few muffled thunders from time to time, forcing them to use silent musical instruments at night to calm down.

But if they did so, they wouldn't be able to hear the morning bells of the Grand Shangqing Palace and would easily be late for morning classes, which made them quite annoyed. Later, when Zhang Zhiwei's thunder method reached perfection, the situation got better. But now it's happening again?

But soon, an idea flashed through their minds. After Zhiwei's thunder magic reached the highest level, he rarely practiced it like this. Now this situation happened again. Could it be that he had broken through to a higher level?

The significance of thunder magic in Longhu Mountain is extraordinary. When the brothers and sisters around thought of this possibility, they could not sit still and went to check it out.

At this moment, Zhang Zhiwei had mastered the art of a Saint Thief, and the thin membrane that was there before had completely disappeared. He was connected to the bridge between heaven and earth, and the Yuan Qi from between heaven and earth poured in from the Baihui point on the top of his head and entered into the God of Upper Dan.

The head is the head of the six yangs, and the upper dantian is where the primordial spirit resides and the soul is placed. Suddenly, the inside and outside were connected, and the qi of heaven and earth entered the brain. Zhang Zhiwei felt that his mind was clearer than ever before.

He looked up, and through the ceiling of the Buddhist room, he could directly see the changes in the external Yuan Qi.

Perhaps there are too many strange people in the Tianshi Mansion, and the Qi in each of them is surging, which disperses the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, causing the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth in the surrounding area to be somewhat thin.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Zhiwei moved and suddenly appeared on the roof. He looked around and then flew towards the back mountain.

When Zhang Zhiwei flew away, his fellow disciples also jumped out of their respective rooms and climbed to the roof.

They saw Zhang Zhiwei floating away, with white energy surrounding him. Under the cool moonlight, he seemed to be about to ascend to heaven and become an immortal.

"Brother, has he become an immortal?" A fellow disciple muttered to himself as he watched Zhang Zhiwei's back getting farther and farther away.

Another young Taoist priest stammered, "How...how is it possible? Master hasn't even ascended yet... Senior Brother...how could it be..."

"If Senior Brother Zhiwei ascends to become an immortal, no matter what others think, I can accept it anyway!"

"No, it's not ascension. Look carefully, Senior Brother Zhiwei is heading towards the back mountain."

"Okay... it seems so. That's the cliff at the back of the mountain. Let's go and see what Senior Brother Zhiwei is going to do."

Afterwards, a group of Taoists went in the direction Zhang Zhiwei went.

Zhang Zhiwei didn't walk too far. He stopped at a cliff in the back mountain.

His fellow disciples followed him and stopped a few hundred meters away from him without disturbing him.

Because Zhang Zhiwei's condition was a little mysterious now. He was standing on the top of the mountain, the moonlight shining on him, and he seemed to be completely integrated into the moonlight.

All these fellow disciples saw that white light was radiating from Zhang Zhiwei's body, like a bright moon on the top of a mountain, echoing the bright moon in the sky in the distance, as if he had already attained immortality.

At the same time, they also discovered that the moon in the sky was particularly large, about a circle larger than before.

Moreover, the moonlight from the huge moon did not shine in all directions, but flowed down like a clear mountain spring and fell on Zhang Zhiwei.

"What is Senior Brother Zhiwei doing? Absorbing the essence of the moon?"

"Moonlight? How is that possible? Isn't the essence of the sun and the moon something that only exists in legends? Can Senior Brother Zhiwei actually absorb this thing?"

“On the night of Gengshen, the moon is shining brightly, and there is Emperor Fluid in it. It is shaped like countless olives and consists of tens of thousands of golden threads that are strung together and hang down to the human world. Plants and trees that absorb its essence will become monsters. Foxes and ghosts can display their supernatural powers after eating it. Emperor Fluid, could it be that Brother Zhiwei is absorbing the Emperor Fluid?!” another brother exclaimed.

The fellow disciples had different opinions on Zhang Zhiwei's current situation.

But at this moment, the night wind blew a cloud, obscuring the huge moon.

In fact, the moon did not really get bigger, but the moonlight emerged from the moonlight, giving people in this area the illusion that the moon was magnified.

If you look at it from a different place, such as from the higher and farther Tianmen Mountain, the moon will be normal.

At this moment, the clouds covered the moon, making it invisible, and the moonlight naturally disappeared. Without the moonlight, the layer of moonlight that was as full of water as water surrounding Zhang Zhiwei also disappeared.

Zhang Zhiwei turned from an immortal into a mortal, but his fellow disciples behind him did not move, as they felt the sound of the wind.

At this moment, Zhang Zhiwei did not make any other unnecessary movements, but just breathed in and out normally.

But when he inhaled, the Taoist robe, which was originally blown tightly to his body by the wind due to standing on the top of the mountain, suddenly swelled up, and when he exhaled, the robe became shriveled and stuck tightly to his whole body.

The fellow disciples looked at Zhang Zhiwei, somewhat confused.

But soon, the doubts were filled with shock.

When Zhang Zhiwei inhaled Qi, a white Qi from under the cliff was sucked into his body like a wave, and when he exhaled Qi, this wave was exhaled from his body.

With each breath, the surrounding mist, streams, and plants seemed to be in harmony with his Qi, forming an absurd scene of high and low tides; the tide rose when he inhaled Qi, and receded when he exhaled Qi.

"This, this, this...what is going on? What kind of magic is Senior Brother Zhiwei practicing? It's so horrifying?" Someone muttered to himself with a look of shock on his face.

"With every breath he takes, the heaven and earth move. Isn't he a celestial being? And you still say that Senior Brother Zhiwei has not become an immortal?!" someone said.

"Wait a minute, is this my illusion? Have you noticed that the air seems to have changed, as if it has mass? I can feel it penetrating my body with every breath I take," the Taoist thought for a moment and described it as, "It's a silky feeling, extremely silky, and every breath of Qi feels like a pleasure."

Another Taoist priest said, "Indeed, you are right. I have the same feeling. Every time I breathe, my body seems to become lighter. Moreover, I also found that the physical strength I lost just now is recovering. The Qi I consumed when I followed Senior Brother Zhiwei here just now has actually been restored at this moment."

"Yes, I have recovered too!" A Taoist took a deep breath and said with an intoxicated look on his face, "Now whenever I take a breath, it feels like I am practicing breathing exercises. No, the effect is even more obvious than practicing breathing exercises."

"What is going on? Why is it like this?" A Taoist priest was puzzled and looked at Zhang Huaiyi who was hiding behind the crowd and said, "Huaiyi, you are a disciple who pretends to be a disciple. You know more than us. Do you know what is going on with Senior Brother Zhiwei?"

When Zhang Huaiyi heard Zhang Zhiwei's movements, he followed him inside, but he was mixed in the crowd and never showed up. When he heard his fellow apprentice's questions, he didn't pretend to be ignorant and explained:

"It's because the Qi of heaven and earth is so abundant. My fellow disciples, most of us have gone down the mountain before. If we practice breathing exercises at the foot of the mountain, we will find that our efficiency is much lower than that on the mountain." "The reason for this is because of the difference in Qi of heaven and earth. Our Longhu Mountain ranks 15th among the 36 Taoist caves and 32nd among the 72 blessed places. This ranking is naturally not without reason."

"As for Senior Brother Zhiwei's current situation, he should be practicing the Saint Thief, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth for his own use. He has absorbed the essence of this world, and we have also benefited from it and breathed some air full of the essence of heaven and earth."

Although Zhang Huaiyi said it easily, he was not at ease in his heart.

The gap between me and my senior brother has widened.

The last time I tried to experience the battle between my senior brother and his inner demons, I was defeated miserably. I still haven’t figured out how to deal with it, but my senior brother has made another step forward.

Moreover, judging by the scene he had created now, this step seemed to be quite a progress.

At this time, Lu Jin suddenly said, "That's not right, Huaiyi. When I was in Liaodong, I saw the Liaodong wild people using Tiangang Qi. They all transformed the Qi of heaven and earth for their own use. But Senior Brother Zhang sucked the Qi of heaven and earth in, but turned around and spit it out. What does this mean?"

Zhang Huaiyi took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "Didn't you notice that this is not just absorbing, but... breathing!"

"Breathing?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

No wonder they had such a reaction. As practitioners of Taoism, breathing and Qi training are basic skills. But whose breathing is so terrifying?

Zhang Huaiyi was right. Zhang Zhiwei was indeed absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.

However, his absorption of the essence of heaven and earth was very purposeful.

Although he naturally possessed a kind of ability when he broke through the shackles of his soul - the ability to forcibly absorb the essence of heaven and earth with his own Qi.

Humans, animals, and vegetation are all in the world. They are creations of the world and are naturally the essence of the world, and he can absorb them all.

But Zhang Zhiwei didn't do that.

It is not a garbage can that holds everything. When people eat, they know to eat delicious and nutritious food. The same goes for absorbing the Qi of heaven and earth.

And what is nutritious?
Humans have three treasures: essence, energy and spirit.

There are three treasures in the sky: the sun, the moon, and the stars.

The earth has three treasures: water, fire and wind.

The three treasures of human beings must be eliminated first, so as soon as Zhang Zhiwei opened the shackles of his soul and connected the bridge between heaven and earth, he came to the edge of the cliff. In this unobstructed and transparent place, he absorbed the moonlight and starlight among the three treasures of heaven.

But he had not taken a few puffs before clouds covered the moon, blocking the sky, and the starlight and moonlight were no longer visible. He then began to absorb the water, fire, and wind qi from the three treasures of the earth.

The drastic changes in water energy cause the tides of the stream.

The changes in the wind energy made the place extremely powerful, and the surrounding vegetation was blown to move with Zhang Zhiwei's breathing.

As for the changes in fire Qi, they make the temperature of the surrounding area higher, but this is not obvious, and cannot even be perceived by outsiders, because as soon as the temperature rises, it is blown away by wind Qi.

The Qi of water, fire and wind gathered around Zhang Zhiwei. Because it was so dense, it turned from invisible into white Qi.

These white qi seemed to turn into flowing water, wrapping around Zhang Zhiwei's entire body and entering his body through every inch of his skin and every pore.

The Qingxuan method is a transformation of the soul. The absorbed Qi of heaven and earth should go into the soul and it is difficult to affect the physical body.

But because Zhang Zhiwei's nature and life were integrated into one, the Qi of heaven and earth affected both his soul and his body.

Although Zhang Zhiwei had already done a screening when absorbing the Qi of heaven and earth, this large-scale absorption was still too sloppy and there were quite a lot of impurities in it.

Therefore, every time Zhang Zhiwei took a breath, he would filter out the impurities, and then exhale, returning most of the Qi of heaven and earth to heaven and earth.

These impurities that Zhang Zhiwei looked down upon are actually the original Qi of heaven and earth, but they are not one of the three treasures of heaven and earth. It is still beneficial for ordinary people to absorb them. Therefore, the brothers and sisters who are watching around will feel refreshed after breathing them in.

Zhang Zhiwei's breakthrough caused a huge commotion. Not only some fellow disciples came, but many elders also came.

They either gathered together not far away like the younger generation and watched directly, or stood on the top of a tree and observed secretly, or stood on another hilltop and looked far into the distance, or used some magical powers...

As a Heavenly Master, Zhang Jingqing naturally could not be unaware of this development. Even if he didn't know, he would have been informed by other high-ranking priests.

At this moment, he was sitting in a tavern at the foot of the mountain with Yi Qian, Zhang Yi and Lan Gu.

There was a wine bowl placed in front of the four people, and the scene of Zhang Zhiwei breathing at the moment was reflected in the bowl.

"Absorbing the Qi of heaven and earth, mist rises from all 84,000 pores of his body. This kid is not simple. Has he really become a celestial being?"

Aunt Lan looked at Zhang Jingqing in surprise and said, "Brother Jingqing, how did you teach such a disciple? Tell us about it so that we can learn from you."

Zhang Jingqing shook his head and said, "It's hard for me to explain Zhiwei. I can only say that it's hard to enter the path without true teachings, and it's hard to reach the realm without perseverance. What he has now is worthy of his efforts."

"True teachings... perseverance..." Aunt Lan said, "Senior Brother Jingqing is too protective of his son. Zhang Zhiwei's condition cannot be solved with perseverance and willpower."

Yi Qian said, "What Aunt Lan said makes sense. In my opinion, Zhang Zhiwei is not an ordinary person. He was born in the Gengzi year, Jiashen month, Jiayin day, Xinwei hour, Yuancheng Festival. His horoscope is the same as that of the Blue Emperor. How can he be an ordinary person?"

"If it were in the old days, this kid would have been called the reincarnation of the Green Emperor, just like Zhu Di, who was called the reincarnation of Zhenwu."

Yi Qian spread out his five fingers and continued, "It is indeed true. Zhang Zhiwei was born for the Dao. He has reached such a state at such a young age. Looking at all the Heavenly Masters of our Heavenly Master Mansion, he can be ranked in the top five."

The Tianshi Mansion is among the top five in the past two thousand years. This evaluation is not low. It should be noted that the top five are all saints and ancestors.

Let’s not talk about Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism who ranks first.

Take Zhang Jixian, the 30th generation Heavenly Master, for example. He attained enlightenment at the age of nine. After the Heavenly Master who succeeded him passed away, he reappeared to preach and guide Sa Shoujian, one of the four great Heavenly Masters.

Although Zhang Zhiwei is already very bizarre, he is still a little short of the standard compared to these characters.

Zhang Jingqing glanced at Yi Qian without saying anything, but he felt complicated. One moment he recalled the scene not long ago when Zhang Zhiwei vowed to complete the Saint Thief and pass it on to them, the old guys. The next moment he thought about the matter of passing on the degree.
