Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 244 Rebuilding the Trinity Mysterious Gate!

"That is……"

"Da Ying Immortal?!"

At this moment, after a brief moment of stunned silence, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.

Many of those who came to participate in the retirement ceremony this time were people who had come from that era. Naturally, they had seen the immortal appearance of "Daying Immortal" Zuo Rutong, as well as the aura he exuded, and would never make a mistake about him.

"Master...how are you?"

Feeling the aura of the other person belonging to the "Three Stages of Reverse Life" and seeing the innate Qi emanating from him when he was in the "third stage", Mr. Lu was absolutely certain at this moment that this was undoubtedly his master!

but……

He had witnessed his master's passing with his own eyes and buried him with his own hands. How could his master appear again now?
"Could it be..."

He couldn't help but wonder if the master in front of him was someone else in disguise, such as the guys from "Heaven". After all, those guys' methods were too bizarre.

But then he shook his head, thinking that this was unlikely, because this was the "third level of reverse rebirth", and among the people he knew, only his master had truly achieved it!

"Don't worry, it's really me."

As if sensing Mr. Lu’s thoughts, Zuo Rutong explained.

"I didn't actually die that year. It was because I had already transcended ordinary life and death after breaking through to the 'third level'."

"It was just that my mind was dead and my will was restrained, so I entered a state of suspended animation. After my physical body ceased to exist, I wandered between heaven and earth in the form of 'innate qi'. It was not until recently that a noble person helped me wake up."

"I see……"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu understood immediately. He also knew what kind of power the last three sequences of the "Nine Sequences Heart Sutra" had, so this made sense.

Although the others did not know the secret, they chose to believe it after hearing it. After all, in their opinion, their perception could not be wrong, and the person in front of them was indeed the "Daying Immortal" without a doubt!
"Congratulations to the return of 'Da Ying Immortal'!"

Upon seeing this, all the elders present who had seen Zuo Rutong stood up to congratulate him. Zuo Rutong had a very high reputation in the extraordinary world back then and was respected by thousands. His passing was a pity for the entire practice world, and all the sects expressed their grief.

Now that the banished immortal has returned, all the old men seem to be young again. They are naturally happy from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that this year has finally brought them some great news.

"Thank you all!"

Zuo Rutong responded to everyone, then turned around and looked at Li Muxuan who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Li Muxuan, you should be clear about what I want to settle with you, right?"

"Hehehe, Chief Zuo, I have no objection to what you want to do to me, but I hope you can be more decisive. After all, torturing someone to death is the way of a demon, and there is no need for you to do so!"

Li Muxuan grinned, obviously feeling that Zuo Rutong would never let him go. After all, he had not only committed evil deeds in the past, but also indirectly caused the dissolution of the Sanyi Sect. Now that Lu Jin was by his side, he had to deal with the matter fairly and give Lu Jin an explanation.

Therefore, he simply stopped sitting and stood up on his knees, standing straight in front of Zuo Rutong, waiting for the "judgment" that should have come more than seventy years ago.

"..."

Seeing his expression, Zuo Rutong narrowed his eyes immediately. To be honest, he had no intention of doing anything to this guy. After all, he had said at the beginning that he would give him three chances and let him go twice...

As far as he knew, this guy had indeed stopped doing evil since then, but had fled directly to Nason Island.

In addition, he originally believed that what happened back then was caused by himself and that he was the culprit, so what reason did he have to carry out this "trial"?

therefore……

"Um……"

"Li Muxuan, I won't do anything to you because I am not qualified, but since your exit ceremony has rules, I will ask you to do one thing."

Zuo Rutong pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"What? Master, you may not know that back then..."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu couldn't help himself and spoke out with his eyes wide open.

"Lu Jin, don't be impatient..."

Zuo Rutong waved his hand.

"I know everything. I believe that Master will give me a sufficient explanation."

then……

He looked at Li Muxuan again and looked at him seriously:

"Li Muxuan, I ask you to resolve this matter according to your own heart. What kind of punishment do you think you deserve and how should you make up for your mistakes? Then do it... Do it yourself!"

"You've seen everything that happened in the past seven days. Even though you were so naughty back then, no one really wants to do anything to you now, because they have all gotten over it. What about you?"

"How do you get over this hurdle? No one else can help you, only you can do it yourself!"

"This……"

When Li Muxuan heard this, he was stunned. He could never have imagined that Zuo Rutong would be like this. He frowned for a moment.

"Are you killing people?"

You know, doing it yourself is countless times more difficult than asking others to do it.

"If you want to understand it this way, then it's not wrong, but it's never me who is hurting you, but you yourself..."

Zuo Rutong looked indifferent.

"Think carefully about why you are standing here today. You are not here for everyone present, nor for me or for Trinity. You are here for yourself. You want to be free from this..."

"Then show your sincerity!"

"!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Muxuan immediately understood what Zuo Rutong meant. This was to make him truly face his own heart instead of just sitting here and pretending to endure everything.

Of course he himself is aware of this, but he is subconsciously unwilling to face it. Although he has mustered up the courage to stand here today, some obstacles cannot be overcome immediately.

At this time, Zuo Ruotong obviously saw his hesitation and spoke again:
"Of course, you can choose not to do this. I can carry out any punishment you want, but this will violate the rules of this ceremony. You will get the fate you think you deserve, but don't even think about quitting Quan Xing."

"There's still some time left. Think carefully about whether you should sincerely face the past and your true self this time, or... try to find another way to escape."

"okay!"

At this point, Li Muxuan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he drank, his face gloomy.

"You guys, you still like to preach like before... I get it."

Then, he clenched his fists suddenly, and his body, which had been trembling with excitement, gradually calmed down. He immediately raised his head, slowly glanced at the people present, and finally took a deep breath.

"hiss--"

He clasped his fists in salute.

"Thank you all for coming here to testify. I, Li Muxuan, have no morals or abilities, and I have nothing but bad qualities. I am a complete bastard!"

"In the past, I did a lot of ridiculous things just to save my own pride, but fortunately, you all don't hold it against me today. I, Li Muxuan, am very grateful!"

"but……"

"You all have your issues, but there is one thing I cannot get over. This matter has been lingering in my mind for decades, like a nightmare that I will never wake up from."

"Over the past few decades, whenever I closed my eyes, the figures of those disciples of the Trinity Sect, including the left sect leader, would appear before my eyes. Every one of them stared at me with their bloodshot eyes, wishing they could eat me alive and drag me down to hell."

"Ugh……"

Having said this, he suddenly sighed, and his gloomy expression suddenly eased. His originally furrowed brows gradually relaxed, revealing a hint of sadness.

"In fact, I knew from the beginning, from the day I followed the Ghost Hand King, I knew that what I did was wrong...but I still followed him."

"At that time, and in all the things that happened later, I just wanted to prove one thing - I, Li Muxuan, am not unwanted and untaught, nor do I have to beg and crawl to get into this Trinity School..."

"I also want to tell the Sanyi Sect and the head of the Zuo Sect that I am not a fool who is not qualified to practice. I am not one of those ordinary people who are mediocre. I have talent and I am willing to work hard. Even if I don't follow the path of the Sanyi Sect, I can still reach the top of the mountain!"

"..."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent, staring at Li Muxuan with complicated expressions on their faces.

To be honest, Li Muxuan was just a teenager at that time. He was already impetuous and knew very little about spiritual practice. It’s not to say that what he did was right, but at least everyone could understand the situation at that time.

"but……"

"It just happened to be Quan Xing."

After a pause, Li Muxuan spoke again.

"It was fate and time. The one who took me away happened to be Quan Xing. The first teacher who loved and valued me so much also happened to be a Quan Xing person."

"Apart from everything else, I am still very grateful to him to this day, but I also knew from the beginning that this was a road of no return. Once embarked on, it would be difficult to get rid of it."

“I actually have a choice…”

“But I gave up on myself.”

As he spoke, Li Muxuan looked up at Zuo Rutong in front of him. There was no longer any trace of cynicism on his face, only a look of reminiscence.

At this moment, all the memories of the past began to flash before his eyes like a revolving lantern. He seemed to have returned to that day and was standing at the biggest crossroads in his life again. In front of him was Zuo Menchang, behind him was Wang Yaozu, and he...

"If it happens again..."

“I might still choose this.”

This was his true words. Since he was "sincere to his heart", there was no need to "flatter" him at this time. He just had to say what he had to say...

Anyway, after today, there will be no more chances. "But this is me, a real, stubborn 'bad boy'. Even if I have to do it a thousand times or ten thousand times, I will still set foot on this road. Everything may happen again. This cannot be changed..."

"I admit it!"

"but……"

"Since I'm standing here today, it means I know I was wrong. I, Li Muxuan, was extremely wrong!"

"Here, I apologize to everyone present and absent for all the mistakes I made in the past. I was wrong, and I don't expect you to accept it. This is what I really want to say!"

thump!
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Muxuan bent his knees and fell to the ground, then knocked his head heavily to the ground.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
At this moment, he put aside all his pride, all his stubbornness, all his timidity and all his dissatisfaction. He no longer clung to his own dignity and kowtowed three times to everyone with sincerity.

"Everyone, I, Li Muxuan, was wrong!"

"This……"

Seeing this scene, everyone was moved. They could never have imagined that this guy could do such a thing. They were all stunned for a moment.

But then, everyone's eyes moved, and a trace of admiration arose in their hearts. They knew that it would be difficult for them to do this. Even those who were still angry in their hearts lost all their anger.

This is the true meaning of this exit ceremony...

It is to shed the old self and be reborn!
moment……

"..."

After bowing his head, Li Muxuan straightened his back and looked up at the left gate chief in front of him. At this time, the left gate chief looked extremely tall and glorious in his eyes, just like when he first saw him.

And the next second, he finally spoke out what he thought was the most appropriate punishment:

"Master Zuo, it is only natural to pay one's life with another's. I also know that my recklessness caused the death of so many disciples of the Trinity Sect and caused the dissolution of the Trinity Sect. My life is not enough to pay for it!"

"If I could, I would be willing to die thousands of times to atone for my sins, but unfortunately I can't do it. And you know I have a granddaughter, and I don't want to leave her so soon."

"So, Master Zuo, since you asked me to speak the word 'honesty', I will follow my heart. For the rest of my life, I only wish to watch my granddaughter grow up with my own eyes and watch her live a good life. That is enough..."

"This is my only wish. Nothing else matters. Since I am leaving Quan Xing today, I should also cut off everything related to Quan Xing. I am willing to abandon my entire cultivation, destroy my muscles and bones, and only have the most basic ability to move. I will use the remaining remains of my body to linger for a while, and I will live as long as I can..."

"Do you think this is feasible?"

"Ha ha……"

Seeing that this guy finally spoke out his true thoughts, Zuo Rutong smiled slightly, and without saying anything else, he nodded and said:

"I said, this is your own choice, as long as it is sincere."

"Well!"

Since the left sect leader actually agreed, Li Muxuan made a prompt decision, raised his hand, gathered his true Qi and slapped it hard on his lower Dantian in the abdomen, and then he slapped it on the Qi Palace in the chest, leaving only the Niwan where the soul was located untouched.

Bang bang!

In an instant, two muffled sounds were heard, and Li Muxuan's life cultivation and true qi cultivation were both shattered. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground at an angle.

But he was really tough. Even so, he did not faint. His eyes were just staring wide open, and he held his last breath in his chest, hoping to fight for a little more life for his granddaughter.

"..."

Seeing that he was so straightforward and really destroyed himself, everyone present nodded, completely approving of this guy and allowing him to withdraw from Quan Xing.

At this time...

"Lu Jin, come and take a look. Are you satisfied with this?"

Zuo Rutong called Mr. Lu over and asked for his opinion.

"This is the conclusion I made on behalf of Trinity Sect, but it does not represent you. There is still some time. If you are not satisfied, then hurry up."

When Zuo Rutong said this, he had no bias or influence at all. He was just expressing his own thoughts. He would not have any opinion on any of Mr. Lu's next choices. This was human nature.

"This……"

Seeing his master like this, Mr. Lu couldn't help but look at Li Muxuan on the ground again. What happened just now moved him. Thinking back to the days when he and this guy were tested together at the foot of the mountain, and looking at the present...

All that was left in his heart was sighing.

then……

"Master, I have no objection. I will obey your orders!"

At this moment, he is no longer the head of the Lu family, but just a disciple of the Trinity Sect. Since the master has made a decision, the disciple should follow.

At the same time, with the double joy of Li Muxuan getting the ending he deserved and his master "resurrecting", the hatred in his heart finally dissipated, and the haze of many years disappeared overnight, and he only felt refreshed!

"Well……"

Zuo Ruotong nodded, turned around and bowed to everyone present, and said loudly:
"To be honest with you, it is me who is in charge of Li Muxuan this time. Of course, I am not keeping this secret on purpose, but I just don't want my reappearance to disrupt the retirement ceremony."

His meaning was very clear. If he had explained the situation at the beginning, the martial arts world would have been shaken and the withdrawal ceremony at that time would no longer be pure, which was what he did not want to see.

"Although I cannot bear the title of 'highly respected', this is after all closely related to our Sanyi Sect, so it is most appropriate for me to take on this position, and I think I am qualified for it."

This was natural, and the people present had no objection, so they all nodded to show their agreement with this approach.

At this point, Zuo Ruotong raised his head to look at the sky, counted down a few times in his heart, and then walked to the big gong that had been prepared behind Li Muxuan...

As the last moment arrived, he picked up the hammer next to the gong and struck it hard...

when--! ! !
The sound of a gong meant that the withdrawal ceremony was finally over, and also meant that Li Muxuan had officially withdrawn from Quan Xing. Everyone present stood up and prepared to leave.

It can be seen that Xia Liuqing and the other two who arrived here two days ago have long disappeared. As Quan Xing people, they naturally do not want to become the target of public criticism, and this is exactly what Zuo Rutong wants.

He had another plan to make, but he didn't want the Quan Xing monster to get involved.

So, the next moment...

"Everyone, please stay!"

Zuo Rutong put down the gong hammer, turned around and saluted again.

"I have one more thing to say. I would like to ask you to bear witness while you are here."

He knew very well that those who remained here until the last day were representatives of various sects, except for those who really had grudges against Li Muxuan. He could just take this opportunity to make an announcement and save himself any more effort.

And since "Immortal Daying" had invited them, everyone naturally gave him face. They immediately stopped what they were doing and looked over here.

"Everyone, please follow me."

The next moment, Zuo Rutong raised his hand to invite him in, and then took the lead to walk up the mountain. At the same time, he also said to Mr. Lu:
"Take Li Muxuan with you. Use the 'Reverse Life Method' to help him sort out his problems on the way. At least let him stay alive."

"Yes, Master!"

Having received the order from his master, Mr. Lu naturally did not hesitate. He immediately leaned over and carried the dying Li Muxuan on his shoulders. At the same time, he practiced the "Reverse Life Method" and injected the Reverse Life Qi into his body to help heal him.

Although this method cannot restore his Dantian, it can repair most of the fatal injuries in his body, and he can still resume basic movements after the treatment, just as Li Muxuan himself hoped.

Then, under the leadership of Zuo Ruotong, the group walked up the mountain path. After a while, they saw the dilapidated mountain gate in front of them and the dusty and tilted plaque on the mountain gate.

"Trinity Gate"!
At this moment, everyone seemed to understand what Chief Zuo wanted to do. Excitement appeared on many people's faces, and they followed Chief Zuo into the door and came to the wide platform inside.

"More than seventy years..."

"Although this place is dilapidated, it has not changed much. Lu Jin... you did this, right?"

The moment he saw the scene inside the door, Zuo Rutong immediately understood and asked softly.

"Master, I am only doing my job. After all, this is the root of our Sanyi Sect. I have to create a desolate and gloomy feeling to prevent outsiders from noticing something unusual and causing trouble." Grandpa Lu responded immediately.

"Well, you have worked hard over the years. As your master, I am really ashamed."

Feeling the passion in his disciple's heart, Zuo Rutong's eyes couldn't help but flash, and his heart was equally surging.

When he died that year, he never thought that he would be able to come back one day. As time passed, everything in the past disappeared, but he did not expect that the mountain gate was still there.

then……

"Then Lu Jin, are you still willing to be my disciple and return to my sect?" Zuo Rutong stopped and spoke softly, but he could no longer remain calm in his heart.

In his eyes, he felt that he had no right to ask this question, but deep in his heart, he was expecting an answer...

This heart is only "sincere"!
"Master...what do you want?"

"Of course I am willing!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lu immediately understood what his master meant. His body trembled, and he knelt down without hesitation.

"Master, it's been seventy-five years... seventy-five years! I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime, but I never expected... Please, Master, restore the Trinity School to me!!!"

He was so excited that he was a little incoherent, and then he shouted with tears in his eyes, completely disregarding his image.

"it is good!!!"

Since that was the case, Zuo Rutong naturally didn't think about anything else. He immediately turned around and helped him up.

Then, in front of everyone present, he bowed and saluted:

"I am Zuo Rutong, and I beg you to bear witness here. From today on, I will return to the position of the head of the Trinity Sect. I will be here..."

"Rebuild my Trinity Mysterious Gate!"
