The Ferocious God in the Celestial Master's Mansion

Where is this? Who is this man?

Zhang Yulei struggled to open his eyes. Through his blurry vision, he could only see the man's angular profile and the cotton robe he wore, which carried a faint herbal scent. The man's embrace was warm and firm, swaying gently with the horse's movements, giving him a strange sense of security.

As time passed, Zhang Yulei's consciousness gradually cleared. He could feel the cold around him, hear the howling wind, the sound of horses' hooves crushing the snow, and the steady breathing of a man. He tried to move his small hands and feet, but found that his limbs were weak and powerless, and simply wouldn't obey his commands.

Is this rebirth? Or time travel?

Zhang Yulei was filled with doubt. He remembered that he was in 21st-century China, living in a peaceful and prosperous era. How could he suddenly appear in a place that looked like the old society and was ravaged by war? Moreover, he had turned into a baby!

Just then, the man holding him seemed to sense his unease, looked down at him, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips. That smile softened the somber look in his eyes, making him appear exceptionally gentle.

"Don't be afraid, little one, we'll be home soon."

The man's voice was deep and magnetic, like the warm winter sun gently falling on Zhang Yulei's heart. He patted Zhang Yulei's back lightly, his movements gentle and practiced, as if he had held a baby countless times before.

Looking into the tenderness in his eyes, Zhang Yulei felt a warmth spread through his heart. In his previous life, he had never experienced such warmth and care. His parents were exhausted by his illness, and their attitude towards him was more one of helplessness and estrangement; those around him only showed discrimination and fear. This stranger, however, had given him the first kindness since his rebirth.

He didn't know where this man would take him, nor what his future held. But he secretly resolved that in this life, he must live well. In his previous life, due to his physical defects and illnesses, he lived a humble and painful life, unable to even control his own destiny. In this life, he became an infant. Although he was still very weak, at least he had a brand new beginning.

He wants to become stronger, to escape the shadows of his past life, to take control of his own destiny, and to live a different life!

As Zhang Yulei's thoughts raced, Zhang Zhiwei had already led him out of the desolate mountains and into a remote town. The town was small, and most of the houses along the streets were dilapidated. Occasionally, a few ragged pedestrians could be seen, their faces filled with numbness and exhaustion. Clearly, this place had also not escaped the ravages of war.

Zhang Zhiwei found a reasonably clean inn and booked a room. He placed Zhang Yulei on the bed and carefully examined his body, finding that although the little guy was still a bit weak, he had recovered quite a bit of vitality under his care. He then asked the innkeeper to help him buy some baby rice cereal and clean cloth.

In the days that followed, Zhang Zhiwei inquired about Zhang Huaiyi's whereabouts while also caring for Zhang Yulei. Although he was a Taoist priest who had practiced Taoism for many years and had never cared for an infant before, he was exceptionally meticulous in his care. He would cook rice porridge until it was soft and feed it to Zhang Yulei little by little with a clean spoon; he would gently wipe Zhang Yulei's body with a warm towel and change his clothes; at night, he would place Zhang Yulei beside him and warm him with his own body heat.

Zhang Yulei gradually adapted to his infant body. He was no longer as anxious as he had been at the beginning, but instead learned to quietly observe this unfamiliar world. He discovered that this world seemed quite different from what he knew from his previous life. This man named Zhang Zhiwei seemed to possess a special energy. Whenever he circulated this energy, the surrounding air would become exceptionally fresh, and Zhang Yulei would feel completely comfortable. His physical development also seemed to have accelerated considerably.

Moreover, he would occasionally hear Zhang Zhiwei talking to himself, mentioning strange terms such as "extraordinary person," "qi," "Celestial Master's Mansion," "the Jia Shen Rebellion," "Zhang Huaiyi," and "Wugensheng." These terms felt both strange and familiar to Zhang Yulei, as if he had heard them somewhere before.

One day, Zhang Zhiwei was practicing his martial arts in the courtyard of the inn. Zhang Yulei, lying on his bed in his room, saw through the window that Zhang Zhiwei was circulating his internal energy, forming hand seals, and chanting incantations. The next moment, a dazzling golden light burst forth from his body, forming a golden shield that enveloped him entirely. The golden light was brilliant, carrying a sacred and majestic aura, illuminating the entire courtyard.

Upon seeing this scene, a thought suddenly flashed through Zhang Yulei's mind.

An extraordinary person? Qi? The Celestial Master's Mansion? Zhang Zhiwei? Zhang Huaiyi? Wugensheng? The Jia Shen Rebellion?

These words are exactly the settings from the anime "Under One Person" that he watched in his previous life!

Zhang Zhiwei, isn't he the old Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain in "Under One Person"? That unfathomable master with a free and unrestrained personality, yet extremely protective of his own!

Zhang Huaiyi is the junior brother of the Old Celestial Master and the grandfather of Zhang Chulan, the protagonist of "Under One Person". He is also one of the key figures in the Jia Shen Rebellion!

Wugensheng is the leader of Quanxing Sect and a key figure who stirs up the storm in the world of supernatural beings!

The Jia Shen Rebellion is the core background of the entire story of "Under One Person"!

Could it be that he has transmigrated into the world of "Under One Person"?!

The thought exploded in Zhang Yulei's mind like a thunderbolt, leaving him instantly stunned. In his previous life, due to poor health, he had stayed at home for many years, and the anime "Under One Person" was one of his few sources of spiritual sustenance. He had watched it repeatedly, and knew the plot, characters, and settings inside and out.

He never imagined that he would transmigrate to this world and be picked up by the old master Zhang Zhiwei when he was young!

This is simply unbelievable!

Zhang Yulei was filled with shock and excitement. If this really was the world of "Under One Person," it meant he could come into contact with characters and powers that only existed in the anime. He could learn to use Qi, become a powerful superhuman, and escape the frail and sickly fate of his previous life!

Moreover, he knew the future plot developments, who were friends and who were enemies, where there were opportunities and where there were dangers. It was practically like having a god's-eye view!

But at the same time, Zhang Yulei was also filled with worry. The world of "Under One Person," while full of fantasy, was also extremely dangerous. The struggles between the supernatural beings were cruel and ruthless, the shadow of the Jia Shen Rebellion had never dissipated, and the open and covert struggles between Quanxing, Na Du Tong, and the major clans were even more difficult to guard against.

He's just a helpless infant right now, and even if he knew the future plot, it would be difficult for him to survive in this dangerous world. Moreover, he suffers from supermale syndrome. Although his body seems healthy in this life, who knows what kind of aftereffects this chromosomal abnormality might cause? Would it affect his cultivation of Qi?

More importantly, he knew Zhang Zhiwei's personality. While the Old Celestial Master was compassionate, he was also extremely protective of his own and took the sect's rules very seriously. If Zhang Zhiwei knew he was a time traveler and knew the future plot, how would he treat him? Would he see him as a monster, or would he use him?

Zhang Yulei dared not think further. He knew he had to hide his secret, never letting anyone know his true identity or origin. He had to pretend to be an ordinary baby, growing slowly, secretly learning the use of Qi, accumulating power until he was strong enough to stand on his own in this world.
