Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 181 Rebirth in Threefold Horizons, A Cataclysmic Disaster!
Without disturbing the other disciples of Sanyi, Si Chong, Cheng Zhen, and Lu Jin accompanied them as the five of them arrived at the back mountain of Sanyi Sect, near where Zuo Ruotong usually secluded himself for cultivation.

Compared to their previous excitement and anticipation, the three were now filled with fear and unease.

Standing opposite Guan Yi, Zuo Ruotong looked at the three of them and said, "Si Chong, Cheng Zhen, Jin'er, no matter what the outcome is today, it is my own choice. Clan Chief Zhuge was only asked by me to help me obtain the Triple Token, and this is a favor."

Even if something happens to me, the Sanyi Sect must still remember this kindness and never blame him! Especially you, Jin'er, you are trusted by your fellow disciples, and you must explain this clearly to them afterwards!

These words, which sounded like a final testament, terrified the three of them even more. They stammered, "Senior brother, regardless of whether the third level is truly heaven-reaching or not, it is still an unparalleled skill! With your talent, as Clan Chief Zhuge said, even if the third level is not truly heaven-reaching, you can still continue to deduce the fourth and fifth levels! Please don't do anything rash, the Sanyi Sect cannot do without you!"

Zuo Ruotong sighed softly: "So, Si Chong, you also had feelings all along, but you just wouldn't accept them? It's because you're in the thick of it all, it's because you're in the thick of it all!"

wow——

White energy waves swayed and ethereal around him, highlighting his otherworldly appearance.

Opposite him, the Wuhou Qimen formation beneath Guan Yi's feet was already operating silently. Standing quietly in the formation, he did not look at Zuo Ruotong's surging energy, nor at her perfect innate body. His gaze penetrated the surface and looked at Zuo Ruotong's Qi structure.

Under the watchful eyes of Lu Jin and the other two, the two figures appeared very light, as if they were about to float away.

"Clan Chief Zhuge, please."

“It is my honor to help Immortal Daying break through his realm, but there is one thing I need to make clear beforehand: I will be receiving a reward.” Guan Yi said, “If the breakthrough is successful, please grant me a request, Master Zuo.”

Zuo Ruotong nodded: "It is the proper thing to do."

"Then I'll be rude, Master Zuo."

Guan Yi raised her left hand, bringing her index and middle fingers together, and drew an arc in the air.

It is neither magic nor an attack.

He merely and seemingly casually manipulated the airflow within the Qimen Dunjia system and refracted the light.

Zuo Ruotong suddenly felt that the 'rhythm' of the world around him had changed! For the first time, his reversal of life felt stagnation from the outside!

"The Qimen Dunjia technique can have such an impact; it's astonishing," he murmured in amazement. "But this level is not enough."

Whoosh—a powerful gust of wind swept through, and Zuo Ruotong appeared before Guan Yi as if by teleportation, pressing down with his right hand. With the almost limit-level support of the Reverse Life Double Enhancement, this palm strike was like a collapsing mountain, heavily pressing down on Guan Yi's body.

Clang—Hiruma was drawn from its sheath, humming!

The silver light flashed like lightning, so fast that Lu Jin and the other two could barely catch it with their eyes.

Only Zuo Ruotong saw it clearly, but with the mindset of breaking down the old to build the new, he did not dodge.

A severed arm spun and fell through the air. Zuo Ruotong retreated with the force of the fall, and looking at the severed arm where the Qi was surging but failed to regenerate for a long time, he exclaimed in amazement, "Is this the 'Severing Technique Strike'?"

It seemed as if Chong opened his eyes wide.

It didn't regenerate immediately?!
It should be noted that even with his level of regenerative ability, regenerating a severed arm would be an easy task. As for Zuo Ruotong, even a decapitation wound could regenerate a head in an instant.

But now that his arm has been severed by the knife, there is only a surge of white qi at the severed part, but it does not regenerate? Has the qi circulation route of reverse regeneration been disrupted? No wonder my senior brother asked him to come. This move is simply the nemesis of our Three Ones Sect's reverse regeneration technique!
"Please don't hold back, Clan Chief Zhuge."

Zuo Ruotong was, after all, a Great Immortal of Great Abundance. Although his Qi path was severed, he reconstructed it in less than five seconds.

His right hand regenerated, and the radiant glow around him became even more intense, as he attacked Guan Yi once more.

Guan Yi lowered his center of gravity slightly.

shhhhh--

The knife and palm collide more than ten times per second.

So fast! So fast I can't even see it!

Lu Jin and the other two were shocked.

In the dazzling exchange of attacks, Zuo Ruotong's reversal of life was constantly shattered by Guan Yi, and then reconstructed and reorganized under Guan Yi's superior skill.

That's it, that's it.

Zuo Ruotong's eyes grew brighter, yet tinged with regret: 'Broken bones, when mended, become even stronger! Torn muscles become even more robust! The acquired, regenerative abilities, repeatedly shattered by external forces, spontaneously become whole again. This isn't an improvement in skill, but a perfection of innate potential. From dual acquired forms, it transforms into a seamless, innate whole!'

It's a pity that even with three layers, one cannot reach the heavens!
puff--

After nearly a hundred exchanges, Zuo Ruotong finally reached his limit. With both arms severed, he was slashed in the chest by Guan Yi and thrown heavily into the air, falling more than ten meters away.

"Senior brother (master)!"

Amidst the gasps of Lu Jin and the other two, the Qi emanating from Zuo Ruotong, who was lying on the ground, became increasingly ethereal, and her body gradually turned into nothingness, until finally only a robe remained, lying quietly on the ground.

As Si Chong's body trembled, the robe slowly floated into the sky.

call--

First, it was a ball of Qi the size of a thumb, then it expanded to the size of a fist, and it continued to grow.

Under the mysterious fluctuations of Qi, Zuo Ruotong was like a banished immortal, his body reshaped in the air and within his clothes, his feet treading on the void, untouched by dust.

It's done?!

Lu Jin and the other two were both surprised and apprehensive.

For hundreds of years, the Sanyi Sect has been among the Xuanmen (mysterious sects). The so-called Xuanmen means that the sect's techniques have a path to enlightenment.

Once it is proven that the Reverse Life Triple Transformation is not a path to heaven, it means that the roots of the San Yi Sect have been uprooted, and that San Yi will no longer be a Xuanmen (mysterious sect). Its status in the world of supernatural beings will plummet!
"Senior brother..."

"Master!" Lu Jin and Chengzhen were completely unsure whether they should get excited at this moment.

Zuo Ruotong descended from the sky, cupped his hands in greeting to Guan Yi, and said, "Thank you for your help, Clan Chief Zhuge. I'll have to trouble you again to provide another certificate."

Guan Yi suddenly smiled and sheathed his sword.

“I only said I would help Master Zuo break through his cultivation level, not that I would accompany you to test your skills after you break through.”

Zuo Ruotong was taken aback, then chuckled, "That makes sense. I've already personally broken through to the third level and know the answer, so it's really not very respectable of me to still ask you to confirm it. Very well, since Clan Chief Zhuge has already helped me break through, please tell me, what does Clan Chief Zhuge need me to do for you?"

While I am still alive.

The path he pursued his whole life turned out to be nothing in the end. Zuo Ruotong's heart was definitely not as calm and indifferent as he appeared on the surface.

Having endured decades of reversing his fate, he was already physically and mentally exhausted, only hoping to break through to a higher realm one day and make a difference, but in the end it was just a dream.

My heart is breaking, and I've already resolved to die!

Then Guan Yi said, "Reversing the three levels of life, returning from the acquired to the innate, has almost reached the pinnacle of destiny. Furthermore, it has transformed all of this destiny cultivation into sexuality. I think it has its shortcomings, but also its merits."

I've always wanted to temper my life force with the Samadhi True Fire, but I fear I might be consumed by the flames. Therefore, I need the assistance of the Reverse Life Triple Stage. However, the Triple Stage seems insufficient. Senior, you possess extraordinary talent, so I, Zhuge Yi, humbly request your help in deduce the Fourth Stage! To forge an innate body with primordial Qi!

Reverse rebirth...fourfold?
The threefold return to the innate Qi.

A quadruple reconstruction of the innate body?!
"That's right, senior brother!" Chengzhen said urgently, as if grasping at a lifeline. "Regardless of whether the three levels can lead to heaven, with your talent, it wouldn't be impossible for you to create your own Xuanmen like the founders of various sects!"
Moreover, are you sure you're already at the third level? The third level passed down from the patriarch? Perhaps there's still something you haven't done or haven't done well!

“Yes, Master!” Lu Jin and Chengzhen quickly echoed.

Zuo Ruotong glanced at them, then looked at Guan Yi, and shook her head, saying, "Clan Chief Zhuge is incredibly shrewd and already knew the outcome. I know you mean well, but my abilities are limited, and I'm afraid I can't fulfill my promise."

Although I have now achieved the third level, I am already exhausted, both physically and mentally. My last breath has run out, and even if I manage to hold on, I fear it won't last much longer.

Guan Yi shook his head: "Since Sect Master Zuo knows that I am a master strategist, how could I not have foreseen more things before helping you break through your realm?"
You have to hold on, and you have to hold on for a long time. Because if you're gone, Sany will face annihilation! You can't bear to see Sany die out, can you?

Zuo Ruotong frowned: "The calamity of wiping out an entire family?"

Where does it come from?

Guan Yi said, "Li Muxuan, Quanxing!"
