Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 246: Three-year agreement, the self-cultivation furnace is activated!

moment……

"..."

After listening to his master's words, Mr. Lu's face darkened and he fell silent.

He finally understood why the master had said that he must discuss this with him. He had indeed not expected this, but judging from the master's reasons, it was not incomprehensible.

but……

"Master, do you really think so? Can we just let everything that happened in the past go?"

After hesitating for a while, Mr. Lu finally spoke, with a conflicted look on his face.

“Although this guy has already withdrawn from Quan Xing, the withdrawal ceremony is over and the past grudges are written off, but the matter is still there, disciple…”

"That is why I am discussing this with you."

That’s right, what Zuo Rutong brought up was about Li Muxuan. In his opinion, this matter was caused by him from the very beginning and it was his fault.

As a teacher, I have failed to fulfill my responsibilities from the very beginning.

"When he wanted to join my sect, I knew he was stubborn, but I didn't teach him according to his aptitude. I also saw that his physique and talent were suitable for rebirth, so I didn't recommend him to other sects like Liu Deshui did. I just arranged for him to study in the school at the foot of the mountain."

"Although my original intention was to temper his temper and curb his stubbornness, I was really inconsiderate and didn't take his rebellious nature to heart..."

"I originally thought that the final result would be that he would either pass the test and enter the sect smoothly, or his personality was not compatible and he would look for another sect. But I didn't expect that he would meet Wang Yaozu and end up on such a path."

"and……"

"As he said before, he made the wrong choice at the most important fork in his life. But he was not the only one who made the mistake. I, your teacher, was also wrong..."

"In fact, I can see that his behavior all along is just superficial. In fact, he has been in a state of confusion and uses random venting to numb himself. Just like the time when he and Wu Gensheng sneaked into the mountain gate, he still just wanted to get an answer from me..."

“This is his real obsession.”

"Ugh……"

Having said that, Zuo Rutong paused and couldn't help but look back.

"Back then, I thought everything I did was reasonable and I thought I had done my best. But now when I think about it, I realize that I was just swayed by my pride as a high-ranking official and my airs as an elder, and that's why I missed one opportunity after another to make him come back."

"Although I have never been able to establish myself as a master, I am still incompetent after all."

"At the end of today, he has redeemed himself, resolved all grudges, and become an ordinary person again. This is a final explanation for all the absurdities of the past, and everyone is satisfied..."

"So, I, the master, would like to take this opportunity to truly make up for my mistakes. Since he has turned over a new leaf, if he is still willing, I will make up for this fate of master and disciple that was not formed due to some unforeseen circumstances."

"Master, I have no objection."

After listening to his master's story, Mr. Lu couldn't help but be moved. In fact, after Li Muxuan destroyed himself, the hatred in his heart had disappeared. He just felt a little awkward before.

In fact, after knowing the whole story, he also knew that the final settlement of the Trinity Sect could not be said to be the fault of Li Muxuan and Wu Gensheng. Everything at that time was complicated, and the cause and effect were entangled...

Who can really be blamed?
This is also the reason why there is only Mr. Lu left in the Sanyi Sect. He was known for his "flawless life" and was the only one who remained sober during the Sanyi Sect incident. The only thing he regretted was the time when he led the crowd to besiege Wu Gensheng.

He knew very well that the grudge in the Sanyi Sect back then was only between Wu Gensheng and Li Muxuan. It was Uncle Si Chong and Senior Brother Cheng Zhen who crossed the line first and had the murderous intention to move that man Liu, which gave the rest of Quan Xing a reason to retaliate, and eventually turned into an irreversible conflict.

From an emotional point of view, from the perspective of being a disciple of the Trinity Sect, Mr. Lu did not think that his uncle and senior brother had done anything wrong. They were Quan Xing monsters, so what if they were really killed? This was the consequence that they should bear for joining Quan Xing...

Not to mention, the face man Liu was indeed involved in the adventure in the mountains.

But in the final analysis, his uncle and brothers, and even all the disciples of Trinity Sect including himself, did not obey the orders of the master. If everything ended there, the sect would not have ended up in such a state.

all of these……

Wugensheng is wrong...

Li Muxuan was wrong...

The master said that he was wrong...

What about the remaining Trinity disciples?

Everything is understandable, but not entirely wrong.

Of course, it is too simple and unreasonable to measure such things with "right or wrong". People who practice cultivation are also human beings, and they also have seven emotions and six desires. Therefore, it is impossible for this matter to have a truly universal judgment in the end...

All I can say is that everything is cause and effect, and there is nothing we can do about it.

It was after thinking this through that Mr. Lu finally agreed with Master's idea. After more than 70 years, the grudges were settled. Master had returned and Trinity was about to be rebuilt, so he let everything...

"Master, let's start over again!"

"..."

"okay!"

Hearing this, Zuo Rutong's eyes couldn't help but move. Looking at his disciple, his emotions were surging.

Looking back, he has been a brilliant, gifted, and full of understanding since the beginning. Although he made a fool of himself at Old Master Lu's birthday party due to his impulsiveness, he has become more calm as he grew up, which is truly rare.

"Ugh……"

Because of this, Zuo Rutong couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If it weren't for the incident that caused him to waste half his life, Lu Jin would at least be able to reach the third level.

Thinking of this, he became more determined to lead her into the "Triple Gate". He could see that it was not that she didn't want to ask, but that she just thought she couldn't get it.

Patting his shoulder again, Zuo Rutong turned around and returned to the previous courtyard. At this time, Li Muxuan was still lying flat on the ground...

He walked forward.

He raised his hand and pressed on his chest, and the vast "innate qi" instantly poured into Li Muxuan's body, completely repairing the damage in his body, and his life was no longer in danger.

"Well……"

It was not until this time that Li Muxuan was able to move. He couldn't help but groan twice, got up with difficulty, and looked puzzled.

"Captain Zuo, what are you doing..."

He knew very well that the treatment Lu Jin had just given him was enough. Although it could not make him fully recovered, it could guarantee his mobility in the next few years. At this time, Zuo Menchang's action repaired his broken Dantian as well, allowing his body to regain vitality.

"Nothing, I just want to ask you a question..."

After raising his hand to signal, Zuo Rutong took the lead and sat on the stone bench where they had talked before. Although Li Muxuan didn't understand why, he still got up from the ground, walked over and sat down.

At this time, Mr. Lu also came over, his expression completely calm. After receiving the signal from his master, he sat down and stared at Li Muxuan quietly.

"Uh……"

"Captain Zuo, everything is settled. What else do you want?"

Seeing that both of them acted quite serious, Li Muxuan became even more confused and couldn't help but speak.

"Don't be nervous. I just want to ask you, so many years have passed, so many things have happened, and now everything has disappeared. What do you feel?" Zuo Rutong asked calmly.

"Thinking?"

Seeing that the two had no intention of doing anything bad to him, Li Muxuan relaxed a little and thought for a while.

"If I were to say it, I would have some thoughts, but for some reason, I don't have any thoughts at all now..."

He is telling the truth.

"At this point, I just feel lucky to be alive and to be able to spend two more years with my granddaughter. I don't want to think about anything else, and there's no need to think about it."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Zuo Rutong glanced at him.

"So you don't want to embark on the path of cultivation again?"

"Re-cultivation?"

Li Muxuan was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

"Is this why you helped me repair my Dantian?"

He was even more confused.

"No, not to mention whether it is possible for me to resume my cultivation after my cultivation was destroyed, my innate Qi has been damaged and my life span is almost gone, so it is impossible for me to cultivate again..."

In fact, he had already made this preparation before he gave up his cultivation. What else could he ask for if he could keep his broken body and survive for a few more years?
"Um……"

However, Zuo Rutong read his thoughts from his words and spoke again.

"In other words, if you have the chance, you are willing to practice again?"

"This……"

Li Muxuan's body was shocked, but he didn't dare to answer. He just lowered his head and smiled at himself.

"Practice, practice, haha... I have practiced for so many years, but in the end, do you think I am worthy of it?"

“People who practice cultivation never need to discuss whether they are worthy or not, because what they practice is always themselves, not others. They only need to be worthy of themselves and satisfy themselves.”

"But I didn't make myself satisfied. I just wasted most of my life and persecuted so many people..."

"These things have all passed, they are all over, everyone has let you go, except you, who have not let yourself go."

"Let me go?"

Hearing this, Li Muxuan was stunned and didn't understand what Chief Zuo wanted to express.

"Captain Zuo, what do you mean?"

He asked immediately.

"What I mean is very simple. You just need to ask yourself whether you still want to practice, let go of yourself, be honest with yourself, and then tell me the answer..." Zuo Rutong replied.

"I know your feelings for your granddaughter. I believe you don't want to just live with your broken body beside her and not know when you will die. If you can practice cultivation again, you can continue your wish and stay with her longer."

"!!!"

It was impossible for Li Muxuan not to understand what was said. His pupils immediately trembled and he asked excitedly:
"Why, if I really want to resume my practice, can you help me?"

"Yes or no, answer me."

"miss you!"

Without any hesitation, Li Muxuan immediately responded loudly and stood up at once. "You asked me to tell the truth, so I naturally dare not adulterate it. To tell the truth, I changed my name to 'Li Muxuan' because I yearned for this path of cultivation. Even after so many things have happened, this Muxuan heart remains the same!"

He stared at Zuo Menchang motionlessly with a burning gaze.

"Okay, since you want to, I will give you another chance to become my disciple today. Nearly a hundred years have passed, Li Muxuan, are you still willing to become my disciple and take me as your master?"

"I……"

There is no doubt that Li Muxuan had thought of this before, which is why he was excited. But when Zuo Menchang really said this, he suddenly hesitated.

"me……"

He already had the answer in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud even after saying "I" for a long time. There was a clear desire in his eyes, but also fear.

"What are you afraid of?"

Seeing him like this, Zuo Rutong narrowed his eyes.

"Are you afraid that I won't teach you sincerely, or are you afraid that you won't be able to achieve reverse rebirth?"

"neither!"

"I am afraid...I am afraid..."

As he spoke, Li Muxuan lowered his head.

"I know what virtues I have, so how can I enter this Trinity?"

"Whether you can enter or not is up to me. You were indeed not ready in the past, but now is the right time. Perhaps you haven't even realized it yet... You are no longer the 'evil boy' of the past."

Zuo Rutong smiled.

"In the past, you would not show this kind of expression in front of me. You must have said something bad a long time ago. You would not give in, nor would you agree with anything I said. This was your rebelliousness and stubbornness, but now it is gone."

"what?"

It must be said that Zuo Rutong's words were like a bolt from the blue. They made Li Muxuan's originally chaotic thoughts suddenly clear and made him suddenly realize.

"I... am no longer a 'bad boy'?"

"Of course, the 'evil boy' Li Muchun back then would not quit Quan Xing, because everything about him showed that he belonged to Quan Xing. But now Li Muchun has nothing to do with Quan Xing anymore. Isn't that enough to prove the problem?" Zuo Rutong nodded slightly.

"Withdraw from Quanxing..."

"Yes, I have already quit Quanxing..."

Hearing this, Li Muxuan seemed to have finally figured something out and nodded in a daze for a moment.

"I am also... no longer the 'evil child' I once was."

"That's right. This is cultivation. It does not depend on the change in cultivation level, but the transformation of the practitioner himself. The progress of cultivation lies in the improvement of the understanding of the 'Tao' and 'Principle' in the heart. This is the most fundamental thing."

Seeing that he seemed to understand, Zuo Rutong gave him some pointers again.

"Practice..."

"That's right, this is what cultivation is all about..."

At this point, Li Muxuan seemed to understand everything. He couldn't help but mutter to himself and think with his head down.

"Captain Zuo, please let me think about it."

"It's okay. There's plenty of time. Just think about it slowly."

In this way, Li Muxuan fell into a long contemplation, and his expression kept changing. It can be seen that although he is eager to resume his practice now, there is still a hurdle in his heart regarding the Trinity Sect, which he wants to try to overcome.

About a quarter of an hour later...

"call……"

As if he had figured it out, Li Muxuan let out a long sigh and then raised his head.

"Master Zuo, I have thought it through. I would like to become your disciple and join the Trinity Sect, but not now!"

"Oh?"

Zuo Rutong raised his eyebrows, and Mr. Lu beside him also showed curiosity.

The next moment, Li Muxuan raised his right hand and raised three fingers:

"Three years!"

"You gave me a three-year test, but I didn't pass it. This time I want to make up for the test I failed, and I'll give you three years to make another assessment of me."

"From today on, for the next three years I will be a servant of the Sanyi Sect. You can send me as you please. After the three-year period is up, you can decide whether to accept me or not!"

"Um……"

"Think carefully. Three years is nothing to me, but it is very important to you. After all, you have lost your cultivation and your life span is short."

Zuo Rutong narrowed his eyes and gave a reminder.

"Every day you miss, your chance to resume your practice will be one less."

"I figured it out!"

Li Muxuan nodded vigorously with a serious expression.

"As you said, cultivation should be done with sincerity. I must be able to overcome the barrier in my heart. Otherwise, I will not be able to enter this Trinity School, and my cultivation will be in vain!"

"Well, I'll do as you say."

Now that things have come to this, there is no need to say more. Zuo Rutong nodded in agreement immediately. Old Master Lu standing beside him couldn't help but stare at this guy even more.

Seeing that the left gate chief agreed, Li Muxuan was delighted and immediately bowed, indicating that he was ready to work at any time and would obey his orders.

"No hurry, take a seat first. You've seen the situation here, so we still need to make some arrangements first."

Now that the matter had come to a conclusion, Zuo Rutong smiled slightly, looked at Lu Jin again, and continued to discuss the reconstruction of the Trinity Gate...

……

……

And just as the incident at Trinity Gate came to an end.

In the outside world, the secret plan that Xia Ye had already laid out has already taken effect, and the method of "ordinary people becoming extraordinary people" has gradually spread among ordinary people.

It's like an urban legend.

"Hey, have you heard that if you make a wish in front of a mirror at midnight, you may gain super powers?"

"Ah? Where did you hear that? I heard that if you recite the incantation silently at a crossroads in the middle of the night when no one is around, you can summon a mysterious man who sells superpower potions!"

For a time, various legends were mixed together, and it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false. This was undoubtedly a "smoke bomb" deliberately released by Xia Ye to prevent the company and the superiors from determining the real channel in a short period of time.

It is also by utilizing this created gap in time that the process of "ordinary people becoming aliens" has begun. People in the "Heaven" scattered across the country have begun to screen those who meet the right conditions and contact them, sowing the seeds of "aliens" into the soil.

at the same time……

On the company side, Yu Huadu was also not idle. Seeing that the plan had already started, he knew that he should also make an effort and further stimulate the higher-ups.

It just so happened that he had invited everyone from the "Exploration Club" to join, and most of those who didn't have many concerns finally made a choice. Now that they have all become extraordinary people, they can be used!
Of course, he had already discussed this with them before, and they agreed to contribute to this end.

then……

Yu Huadu glanced at the time: "Well, it's almost time."

He had already made arrangements, and they should be effective by now.

Knock knock knock!
Sure enough, a moment later, there was a knock on the door, and he immediately responded:
"come in."

"Bi Dong!"

The next moment, the office door opened and a subordinate walked in quickly with a tablet in his hand.

Placing the information on the tablet in front of the boss, he immediately explained:
"The 'Exploration Club' you asked to investigate has actually produced some results. The guy who knocked our people out before should be from 'Heaven', and 70% of the people who participated in the exploration have definitely turned into aliens!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Yu Huadu pretended to be surprised, then picked up the tablet in front of him and began to swipe and browse the evidence in it.

"After our investigation, we found that these guys have demonstrated inhuman strength on different occasions. It seems that they have noticed our pursuit and have disappeared. We are currently searching for them."

"Um……"

"It seems that everything is as I thought. The next plan of this 'Heaven' is really to further promote the transformation of aliens. This is no wonder. After all, the potions they made are simply incredible. It is not impossible to allow ordinary people to gain the sense of Qi."

Then, Yu Huadu began to analyze and then asked.

"What about the social aspect? Have all the methods that have been circulated been tested? Are there any that are really effective?"

"We have tried all the rumors about 'methods to obtain super powers' one by one. Obviously, they are all false. They were released by 'Heaven' to confuse us..."

The subordinate replied immediately.

"We now have reason to suspect that they have already started real operations in secret, but have not yet revealed their tracks, so we cannot track them down."

"Got it. Then continue investigating, keep a close eye on the social situation, and execute all the instructions issued before. We must ensure that basic stability is maintained. This is the most important thing!"

"I understand. I will continue to make arrangements and have them focus on 'maintaining stability'. The investigation will be conducted covertly instead of openly, so as to avoid the 'Heaven' from noticing as much as possible. Let's see if we can gain anything..."

"Okay, let's do this first!"

After saying that, the subordinate left in a hurry again. Now the entire company is extremely busy and working around the clock to temporarily ensure the stability of the situation.

In this regard, Yu Huadu could only say sorry in his heart. This was the only way to complete everything. After sorting out a little and adjusting his emotional state to the most appropriate level, he took out his mobile phone and contacted his superiors:
"Hey, Boss, I have something important to report. The Heavenly Court has already started to take action, and some ordinary people have been transformed into Inhumans. I'm afraid we can't wait any longer!"

As soon as he said this, the person on the other end of the phone suddenly became nervous. Although it was expected, it was still frightening when this day really came. After a long while of digesting it, the other party finally spoke and asked directly about his situation.

After a moment, seeing that the situation was out of control and unable to be stopped, the other party immediately said that he wanted to hold a meeting and discuss the matter with others.

When the call was hung up, Yu Huadu's mouth curled up. He knew that there would be no other outcome of this meeting, and the "Self-cultivation Furnace Plan" he had prepared for a long time...

It's time to start!
