"I'm sorry, Master Heaven! I've caused you trouble."
With the Taoist method, he suppressed Master Heaven's body. George's figure flashed as he appeared behind Master Heaven and struck him a palm on the nape of his neck.
"The Wood Dragon's Collapse Fist!"
"Not good!"
Zhang Zhiwei's eyes opened, and the massive Qi within him erupted. The golden curse and the Thunder Law were raised to their limits, and he finally turned around under the pressure of four Taoist laws, protecting his hands in front of him.
However, next he felt an irresistible overwhelming force.
Zhang Zhiwei has cultivated his life and vitality for over a hundred years, so his physical body is indeed powerful. However, when combined with the constitution of George's numerous split bodies, plus the constitution of the Dragon-Slaying Demon Sorcerer, it is no less impressive.
Adding to this, when he saw Zhang Zhiwei turn around, he used giant magic to temporarily strengthen the power of his palm.
So with this strike, George's palm, struck Zhang Zhiwei's protective hands, and forcefully knocked them against his forehead, knocking him unconscious.
Normally, with Zhang Zhiwei's golden curse protection, it should not have been enough to knock him unconscious.
But Zhang Zhiwei's golden curse and thunder law power were both used to repel the combined attack of four Taoist laws, so there was no time to draw out. He could only rely on his physical strength and thus got the result as he was.
"Done!"
After dispelling the four Taoist laws, George cast another stun spell on Zhang Zhiwei, and only then did he start reading Zhang Zhiwei's memories.
However, as his mental energy entered Zhang Zhiwei's brain, it was repelled by a golden energy.
"This is... a restriction?"
George looked at the dense array of Taoist spells on the golden energy and felt a shock in his heart immediately.
He has seen taboos, seals, and other kinds of spells before. He can use them himself and is very skilled in them. However, such a huge and powerful restriction is the first time he has encountered.
"It seems, this world isn't as simple as I thought!"
The strength of this restriction in front of him is such that even if he uses all his might, he cannot break it.
Therefore, it is not possible for Zhang Zhiwei to have set this restriction on himself, and it is very likely the famous "Tian Shifu" as mentioned in the legends.
It is rumored that some prestigious Taoist sects have special inheritances during their succession, such as the "Tian Shifu" inheritance of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain's Tian Shifu.
Just what it is, remains unknown. Moreover, it's just a rumor. No one knows if it's true or not.
Now it seems that the inheritance is likely to be this enormous restriction.
Why have generations of successors passed down this restriction, what exactly is the restriction, and who is it that practices this restriction – are they immortals?
George is very curious about all of these.
The memories he obtained from Wang Bian originally led him to believe that there should not be any higher-dimensional forces in this world and no existence of immortals or the like.
But seeing the restriction in Zhang Zhiwei's brain made him uncertain again.
"I can't see the memories, but it's not a wasted trip either."
With the Tian Shifu restriction in place, he cannot break through to watch Zhang Zhiwei's memories, so he can only retreat again.
Returning to the normal world, George sent the unconscious Zhang Zhiwei back to his room and then left a note before going back.
The note was very simple. It was a closed-door cultivator who came out to verify his cultivation and had been confirmed by Master Heaven. Now he would continue to return and close himself off again.
It doesn't matter what Master Heaven thinks when he wakes up and sees the note.
In any case, he won't be using this disguise anymore for the time being.
"Not in a hurry, take your time. There are others who haven't found it yet."
Leaving the big yard of Master Heaven, George returned to his normal appearance and walked towards the location where the campfire party was held.
The newly obtained 'Binding Spirit and Sending Generals' technique would be enough for him to study for a while. Since this world doesn't appear as simple as it seemed.
Then he can study and learn useful techniques and laws while slowly exploring the secrets of this world.
His essence and clones in other worlds are also strengthening themselves in a structured manner, and there is no major crisis requiring him to urgently boost his strength.
By being solid and steady, and laying a solid foundation, it will be easier to break through bottlenecks later on.
"Is Hu Jie from Dongxiang Village going to attack me secretly?"
As he was walking through the tree-lined path with no one else around, George suddenly stopped.
Because he discovered that a stranger was hiding on a nearby tree, also one of the participants in this competition, and their target was clearly him.
"Interesting. Just finished a night attack on Master Heaven, and now someone else is attacking me at night. Let's see what your purpose is."
After a pause, George continued to walk forward.
As George approached the tree, Hu Jie immediately launched himself at him in an attack.
It seems like he is aiming for vital points and has no intention of leaving a living person.
"With your strength, do you think you can actually attack me stealthily?"
A flash of lightning crackled on George's body, and his right hand had already grabbed Hu Jie's neck, beginning to read his memories.
"It's not the Wang family."
Following that, an astonished expression appeared on his face.
He had thought Hu Jie was sent by the Wang family, but upon reading his memories, he found that this was not the case.
Hu Jie was just a puppet used by the four wild and reckless clans to lose their minds, and was brought to the competition to attract attention.
"Who?"
Turning his head, George saw two middle-aged men hurrying towards him from a distance.
"Master Xiao Jin, please don't misunderstand. We are from the Lu family and are responsible for monitoring this person. Please show mercy and spare him. He may be related to the All-Xing and could be of use to us."
"People from the Lu family, very well. Then I'll leave it to you."
George glanced around and then threw Hu Jie to the two men.
It seems that the All-Xing has some purpose for the Luo Tian Da Zao, and it is likely that Longhu Mountain and the Lu family have been prepared for it.
"Find a time to see what these All-Xing are up to."
At this moment, he had some new thoughts forming in his mind.
The small incident with Hu Jie did not delay him for long, and he quickly arrived at the location of the campfire party.
The atmosphere here was quite lively, with most of the participants in the competition gathered here, including Zhang Lingyu.
They were enjoying themselves, drinking and chatting, making a lively scene.
There are some signs of over-excitement.
"This guy is truly... not ordinary."
Watching Zhang Chulang, who had drunk too much, running around naked while channeling the Golden Light Spell, George couldn't help but twitch his lips.
When it comes to face thickness and not being ashamed, Zhang Chulang indeed surpasses ordinary people.
"Old Jin, why did you only come over now?"
Over there, Huang Ming saw George and quickly waved to him.
George also smiled and sat down next to him.
"I ran into some trouble on the way and was delayed."
So they ate, drank, chatted, and then sprawled on the ground to sleep. They only woke up when the sun rose the next morning.
Then there was a commotion, and everyone went back to their rooms to clean up and eat before starting the third day's qualification tournament.
However, in today's match, George had no opponent as originally scheduled, he was supposed to face Hu Jie who had beaten the night demon yesterday.
