“Young Master, could you let this minister witness the secrets of the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate?”
“Uh…”
Zhao Chen didn't expect the Moon God to want to witness the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate.
This was hard to explain, after all, it was a very dangerous thing.
In the previous life, in the One Punch Man anime, the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate could also be called the “Crazy Sovereign’s Odd Gate.”
This was no exaggeration, after all, the Wudang Masters had been driven mad by the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate and trapped in the cave for decades. Even Wang, who was able to learn it, was incredibly lucky.
Back then, after Zhou Sheng comprehended the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate, he was hunted down. Fearing that his understanding would be known to the world, he risked going back to the Wudang Mountain and left behind the Wind Sovereign Diagram. The Wudang brothers, seeing the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate, were driven mad, but after practicing it, none could master it, and two brothers died. Zhou Sheng, upon learning this, returned to the mountain to destroy the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate, but the mad brothers, with their lives as the price, protected the Wind Sovereign Diagram, but still couldn’t master it, and were trapped in the cave and the Inner Realm for decades.
Actually, Zhou Sheng initially wanted to pass down the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate, but seeing the state of his brothers, he decided to destroy it.
As one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate is definitely very deep in its application of sorcery, and often it can use unimaginable power to defeat opponents. It is simply too exaggerated.
You must know that ordinary sorcerers need to set up a formation according to the arrangement of the Heaven and Earth, and then interpret the two operations before they can be activated. However, with the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate, you don’t even need to interpret it, you can directly see through the enemy's actions, and even, if you want, you can directly change the situation. However, this power is too easy for people to become addicted to, so more and more people go mad.
The reason why the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate fascinates so many sorcerers is that it represents, to a certain extent, the limit of sorcerers' understanding and utilization of the Dao of Heaven.
Xu San explained that if sorcerers are likened to hackers of the Dao of Heaven, they can pry into the information in the Heavenly Secrets. Zhuge Qing also said when he fought against Wang Ye: Sorcerers have the deepest understanding of the Dao of Heaven and are the most affected by it. Sorcerers must follow the flow of Heaven.
Ordinary Odd Gates need to use the corresponding sorcery based on the location and layout of Heaven and Earth.
When facing multiple enemies, it is very passive. Sometimes in battle, due to restrictions, it is not possible to freely use the sorcery of a certain palace. But the Zhuge family’s Odd Gate is like an advanced version. The Zhuge Odd Gate sets up the central palace with its own Qi, and uses its own Qi to set up a perfect Odd Gate formation, which is equivalent to making the Dao of Heaven work for itself within a certain range.
There are fewer restrictions during battles compared to other Odd Gate sorcery, but the set formation must still follow the five elements of Heaven and Earth, and the birth and death of the spatial limitations, the central palace and the four plates cannot be changed. If it wasn’t for encountering the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate, the nemesis of this sorcery, Zhuge Qing would have been able to reach the final showdown at the Roaming Heaven Great Assembly.
How strong is the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate? If the previous Odd Gate sorcery can control the Dao of Heaven to a certain extent for their own use, then in the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate formation, the caster becomes the incarnation of Heaven and Earth. The five elements of birth and death and the set central palace and four plates can be changed at will. Even space and time can be controlled. It can be considered invincible in the formation. Compared to only being able to control the Dao of Heaven to a certain extent, the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate, which can become the incarnation of Heaven and Earth, is more attractive.
However, the stronger the power, the greater the side effects.
In One Punch Man, except for Wang Ye who could control himself, everyone else went mad.
Learning the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate requires extremely high mental strength. One must be able to be desireless and free from attachments.
People’s mental strength is different. To be desireless and free from attachments and control the heart demon is too difficult. The old Wudang masters practiced for a lifetime and turned themselves into madmen, yet they didn't understand as much as Wang Ye did in a short period of time, which shows how much their minds were broken.
So, before, Zhao Chen would praise the Wu Hou Odd Gate when explaining, his purpose was to make Moon God Sister give up on the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate.
You must know that Moon God Sister's mental strength is not that desireless and free from attachments.
On the contrary, she always likes to compete with Yan Fei Sister.
Perhaps this is their destiny!
As the Eastern Monarch of the Yin Yang Family, Yan Fei Sister’s status is below the leader, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, and above the two protectors, naturally higher than Moon God Sister.
Not only that, Yan Fei Sister is called the “Number One Extraordinary Woman of Yin Yang Sorcery,” who once killed the former Mohist Leader, Six Finger Black Knight, who even the five elders of the Yin Yang Family couldn’t defeat together.
Because of this, Moon God Sister is naturally very wary of Yan Fei Sister, and considers her as her rival.
No matter what, she must compete with Yan Fei Sister.
Although, now, because of him, the two are considered amicable.
But who knows if this is just a facade?
So, how could Moon God Sister’s mind be simple?
Under such circumstances, how could he dare to explain the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate? What if Moon God Sister goes mad too?
“That, Moon God Sister, the matter of the Wind Sovereign’s Odd Gate…”
Just as Zhao Chen was about to find an excuse to refuse.
They had already returned to the Xianyang Palace.
“Greetings, Young Master, State Master.”
“Dun Ruo, what are you doing here?”
“Reporting to Young Master, His Majesty ordered this subordinate to wait here for Young Master. Please go to the Zhangtai Palace.”
Got it, Dad must have already known about the assassination on the street.
He is specifically waiting for me here?
“Let’s go!!”
Following Dun Ruo, the three arrived at the Zhangtai Palace.
“Your son greets Your Majesty.”
“This minister greets Your Majesty!”
“Alright, don’t be so formal. You little rascal, you can do it. You go out of the palace once, and you directly stir up the entire Xianyang. Daoist Human Sect’s Free and Easy Son, the Mohist, the Nong Family, the Armored Gate… See how many people popped up at once.
You’re more capable than me.”
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Chen with a smile that wasn’t a smile.
Zhao Chen rolled his eyes helplessly.
Looking at Dad’s appearance, he probably knew about it even before he encountered the assassination.
Maybe these people were already under Dad’s surveillance the moment they appeared.
He even let me be in danger.
Zhao Chen had reason to suspect that Dad was just trying to watch a show.
“Father, since you know, why did you still ask me to come here?”
“Hehe, you guess.”
“Uh…”
You guess I guess, don’t I guess?
“Father, could it be that I’ve been tricked by you? You probably wanted them to appear all along!”
“Hmm, you really guessed right. This time, the person behind it, I already know. Although they acted very secretly, this is, after all, Xianyang.
It is the capital of the Great Qin, it is my territory, how could anything escape my eyes.”
Although Ying Zheng’s words were calm, the confidence and the arrogance were displayed vividly by him.
Zhao Chen sighed in his heart, sure enough, worthy of the first Emperor through the ages.
He is truly domineering.
But, domineering is domineering.
Isn’t it a bit too much to use your own son as bait?
At this moment, Zhao Chen had reason to suspect that his father deliberately let him be assassinated to see him make a fool of himself.
Zhao Chen thought to himself helplessly.
“Dad, since you know, why did you still let me come here?”
“I just wanted to see if you were alright. I really didn’t expect that you could actually tease Dian Qing after only one day of practicing martial arts. This really surprised me.”
“That’s because your son is naturally gifted!”
“Hahaha!!”
Hearing this, Ying Zheng burst into laughter.
You really don’t know how to be humble. But this is my son, Ying Zheng, the son of Great Qin.
“Alright, go down if you are fine. Your mother has been worrying about you.”
“Ah, Dad, you, you old rascal, you told Mother about my assassination so quickly.”
“Hmm!”
Ying Zheng nodded first, and suddenly realized, what does old rascal mean? He was about to ask…
“Oops, Dad, you killed me, I’m leaving.”
As he spoke, Zhao Chen used his inner strength and body techniques and disappeared from the Zhangtai Palace.
“Your Majesty, this minister will also retire.” Moon God bowed and left.
“Hahaha! Hahaha!”
Seeing Zhao Chen like this, Ying Zheng burst into laughter again. He felt so happy in his heart!
