Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

Chapter 355 The Sky-Piercing Cave Opens, and the Changes in the Heavenly Scroll

After the train arrived at its destination, Lü Ci stopped complaining about changing his clothes and instead rushed off the train, leading Lü Qian in one direction.

Throughout the journey, Lü Ci remained silent, but as the journey progressed, his steps became increasingly swift, and the yearning in his eyes grew stronger, almost coalescing into tangible light.

"We've arrived. This is the Heavenly Cave."

Finally, the grandfather and grandson of the Lü family traveled over mountains and valleys, arriving at a dark and secluded cave before nightfall.

The cave is located in a mountain valley. Its deep and dark entrance, under the dim light of dusk, resembles a bottomless tunnel leading to an unknown direction.

"call--"

Standing in front of the cave entrance, Lü Ci did not rush in. The breeze blowing from inside the cave swept over the two of them, lifting half of Lü Ci's white hair that covered his scar.

This is where Lü Ci's life took a turn for the better, and it was also the beginning of the Lü family's transformation. However, in the past few decades, Lü Ci has hardly returned here, because it is not a place worth remembering.

This is the burial ground where blood has been spilled!

Standing at the cave entrance, Lü Ci waved his hand behind him, "Kid, it's up to you how to find that demonic sword."

"Having stayed on Wudang Mountain for so long and mastered the Feng Hou Qi Men technique, I hope you can find that you can't even find a Japanese demon sword."

Hearing Lü Ci's provocations, Lü Qian ignored the sad old man, stepped forward, raised his right hand, and opened his palm, revealing a strange formation that flipped and flowed in his palm.

"Rest assured, my skills are enough to find you an auspicious burial site after you pass away."

Lu Qian crouched down, flipped his right palm, and pressed the Qimen Dunjia formation he was holding onto the ground. The Qimen Dunjia formation, originally the size of a fist, merged into the earth beneath his palm. In an instant, the mountains and land seemed to tremble twice, with Lu Qian's right palm as the center, and an inexplicable energy was awakened deep underground.

That energy was not inanimate, but rather moved naturally and flexibly through the surrounding mountains and terrain. Once activated, this energy began to flow around Lü Qian's right palm and gradually surged towards the ground.

"rise!"

Lu Qian raised his right palm, bringing his index and middle fingers together to form a sword-like gesture, and placed it in the very center of the palm print, just like adding the finishing touch to a painting. In the blink of an eye, accompanied by his solemn and dignified command, the surrounding heaven and earth trembled, and the flowing energy under the ground burst forth, outlining a complex array of runes and talismans between heaven and earth.

These runes and talismans intertwine and flow, transforming into a unique formation that connects heaven and earth, encompassing the entire mountain.

The four plates of Heaven, Earth, Man, and God revolve around Lü Qian in the center, echoing the surrounding Heaven and Earth, yet forming their own system.

"Kid, where did you learn this skill from?"

Such a huge change had occurred around him that even though Lü Ci was still immersed in the iron and blood of the past, he was awakened. He looked up at the sky encompassed by the Qimen Bureau, feeling this suddenly unfamiliar world, and asked Lü Qian, who was squatting on the ground.

"A complete transformation?"

"No, it is an order to Heaven and Earth!"

Lü Qian answered Lü Ci's question, then stood up from the ground. He raised his right hand and drew a sword finger in the air in front of him, and mysterious runes were generated at his fingertips. In the blink of an eye, Lü Qian's body had become a sea of ​​runes.

These talismans revolved around Lü Qian, the "center of heaven and earth," their runes shimmering and reflecting each other like starlight hanging in an endless night sky.

As the last bright and shining purple talisman was born at Lü Qian's fingertip, the scattered and drifting talismans seemed to have found their sovereign. Amidst the flowing light, they changed their drifting trajectory and circled around the purple talisman in Lü Qian's hand, as if they were bowing to their sovereign.

"The North Pole of the Heavenly Center, the Lord of All Stars."

Lu Qian hung the purple talisman in his hand above his head. The talisman hovered three feet above his head, and a brilliant and noble light suddenly burst forth, driving the surrounding talismans to fly into the surrounding Qimen formation.

"This is the true art of divination; it seems I wasn't wrong."

Lu Qian watched as the talismans took their places in the Qimen Dunjia formation, transforming into numerous stars: the Three Enclosures, the Two Dippers, and the Twenty-Eight Mansions. The directions represented by these stars corresponded to the four plates in the Qimen Dunjia formation.

Talismans and Qimen Dunjia, two obviously different things, seemed to blend together perfectly at this moment. They merged into one, with Qimen Dunjia as the essence and talismans as the application, and together they built a miraculous world.

This world is clearly within the outside world, yet it seems to form its own system, flowing perfectly without any rejection, and even blending and flowing with the energy of the outside world.

"The Tongtian Record is indeed as it is; it reaches the ears of Heaven and commands the spirits, and the Yellow Court is where all the gods reside."

With a talisman on his head and the mountains and rivers within his small world beneath his feet, Lü Qian strolled around, feeling the "miracle" he had created with the help of the [Tongtian Talisman], and unusually marveled at the power of this Eight Extraordinary Techniques.

"Zheng Zibu truly lives up to his Shangqing background; he is indeed unique in the field of talismans. The Tongtian Talisman has fallen into the hands of Old Master Lu, which is a real waste of a gem."

"Boy, what exactly did you do? I get the feeling you've become the master of this land!"

Curious, Lü Ci followed Lü Qian's footsteps, gazing at the increasingly dark mountains under the twilight. With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that the entire Toutian Cave was now enveloped by the Qimen formation activated by Lü Qian.

Standing within this space, Lü Ci looked at Lü Qian and couldn't help but feel a sense of respect, as if people from a distant era revered heaven and earth.

"I just used the Tongtianlu and Feng Hou Qimen to test what I had in mind."

Lü Qian did not explain immediately. He turned to Lü Ci and spoke. As his voice rang out, the entire mountain range resonated with Lü Qian's words and obeyed his command.

"Seven steps."

The two simple words uttered by Lü Qian seemed to have the power of divine decree, instantly taking effect. Lü Ci, who was a step behind Lü Qian, did not move, but felt that the space-time in front of him seemed to have been stretched out, and the distance between him and Lü Qian had become several steps further.

Ignoring Lü Ci's shock and curiosity, Lü Qian continued pacing forward and shouted, "Hiruma—come!"

In the distance, at the edge of what was almost a gaping hole, which was also the outer edge of the Qimen formation's coverage, a black streak of light streaked across the void, as if drawn by invisible threads, and landed in Lü Qian's outstretched palm.

"Grandpa, look, is this the demon sword you're looking for?"

"That's definitely it."

The hilt of the knife fell into Lü Ci's hand. His face showed no resentment at meeting his enemy; instead, he was very calm. He held the knife up and examined it for a moment, then casually stuck it into the soil beneath his feet. Pointing to the strange feng shui layout of the entire Toutian Cave, he asked.

"Tell me first, what's going on here?"

Lu Qian handed the slightly rusty knife in his hand to Lu Ci, and then began to explain.

"I combined the characteristics of the Tongtianlu and Feng Houqimen to create an extraordinary method."

"What do you think will happen when a talisman that reaches the heavens and commands spirits meets Feng Hou Qi Men, which uses my heart to represent the will of heaven?"
