Under One Person: From Nascent Soul to Great Sacred Body

It's been a while since I last saw him, and I didn't expect my precious apprentice to have learned so much more.

"In this world, there are many, many people who are not in control of their own lives."

"Disciple, how many can you save?"

Wu Wei stood there quietly, looking at Jingming across the crowd.

"Young master, if you want to save this person, you'll have to step over this old man's body."

On the other side, the old man held a small, rusty knife with a gleaming blade.

Because Wu Wei was nearby, the spirit Jingming summoned could not get close to the old man.

"Disciple, what is your decision now?"

"Leave from here, or kill these people and save him."

Wu Wei smiled, pointed to the old man and soldiers beside him, and then pointed to Governor Tan.

To exchange dozens or even hundreds of lives for one person's life.

"Master, you're really putting me in a difficult position."

Upon hearing Wu Wei's words, Jingming closed her eyes slightly and took a deep breath.

"But what do these people's lives and deaths have to do with me?"

As he spoke, Jingming took a step forward, and the [Tiger's Might] burst forth from his body, enveloping the crowd before him.

"Soldiers are meant to risk their lives."

"If you want revenge, you must also be prepared to be killed in return."

Chapter 99 The Spread of Gu Insects

As Jingming spoke, he took a step forward, passing directly through the numerous soldiers and arriving in front of Wu Wei.

The five fingers, spread out like lotus stems, reached directly towards Wu Wei to grab him.

It is slender yet exudes a sense of weight, like the Five Finger Mountain.

Click!

The fingers directly tore through the floating Qi outside Wu Wei's body, breaking Wu Wei's reverse life state, and also tore through Wu Wei's clothes.

A warm, scarlet liquid flowed from Wu Wei's abdomen.

[Lotus Dharmakaya] [Breaking the Law]!

With just a single grab, Jingming shattered Wu Wei's reversal state on the surface of his body.

"As expected of my good disciple, your skills are becoming more and more remarkable."

Feeling the warmth in his abdomen, Wu Wei couldn't help but praise Jingming.

This single claw strike shattered his reversal of life state.

This wasn't the violent breaking through of before, but rather the breaking of its own reversal of life using some kind of ingenious and mysterious power.

Although it only lasted for a moment and was quickly restored, once it's broken, it's broken.

"Disciple, are you really going to rescue this person?"

Wu stepped back, dodging Jingming's next grab, and said softly.

Aside from his all-out fight with Zuo Ruotong, it seems he hasn't fought anyone at full strength.

"nature."

Jingming nodded slightly, his gaze calm, like that of a newborn baby who had just opened his eyes.

His words were exceptionally clear; having made his decision, there was no reason for him to hesitate any longer.

"In that case, you can have this person."

"But the consequences are for you to decide, my disciple."

Wu Wei grinned, and after saying those words, he disappeared from Jingming's sight.

They left so cleanly and decisively.

puff!

However, just as Jingming was looking at the military governor, a deep voice rang out.

The old man committed suicide.

"Old man."

Looking at the old man whose chest was bleeding profusely, Jingming couldn't help but sigh, and his eyes no longer had the clear look they had before.

"Heh, monsters can only blame the world."

The old man stared intently at Jingming until his eyes darkened, and then he uttered only this one sentence.

"Hey~"

Looking at the lifeless old man before him, Jingming was at a loss for words.

Shaking his head, Jingming's gaze fell on the Governor of Hunan Province.

I gently pressed my fingers on the other person's wrist and gave it a quick check.

After finding that there was no problem, Jingming used his qi to wake up the governor.

Seeing the other person's twitching eyelids, Jingming nodded slightly, then climbed over the wall and left the Governor's Mansion.

If someone is awake and still dies in their own home, then they truly deserve to die.

"teacher."

In the woods outside the city, Jingming saw Wang Yaozu and the others waiting there.

Compared to Wang Yaozu, whose clothes were only slightly disheveled, Liu Mang was in a much worse state.

"Sect Leader, don't ask me to do this kind of thing next time. I almost died there."

Upon seeing Jingming arrive, Liu Mang immediately protested his innocence, while also shaking the blood-stained clothes on his hands at Jingming.

"If you're alright, do you want to shake yourself a bit more?"

Jingming glanced at Liu Mang and said with a half-smile.

"Hey, this is all other people's blood. I'm just showing you, Sect Leader, my record."

After being glared at by Jingming, Liu Mang shrank back and sheepishly put his clothes away.

It seems the sect leader is in a bad mood. I hope he doesn't find an excuse to beat me up later.

"Did something happen?"

Wang Yaozu seemed to sense that Jingming was in a bad mood, so he asked in an exceptionally gentle tone.

It's like a grandfather asking his beloved grandson a question.

"It's nothing, just a little sentimental. Life is tough, and we are often powerless to control our own destiny."

Upon hearing Wang Yaozu's words, Jingming shook his head slightly, and then spoke.

"A saint is one who can control his body at will."

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Wang Yaozu shook his head slightly and then spoke.

"Ah."

Upon hearing Wang Yaozu's words, Jingming nodded slightly and then sat down on the grass nearby.

Seeing Jingming like this, the others exchanged glances, none of them daring to make a sound.

Jingming didn't open his eyes until the sun had set.

The complex emotions in his eyes also disappeared.

I'm still a six-year-old child. I haven't seen much of the world. Why should I worry about something like this?

Although Wu Wei's statement was somewhat biased, birth, aging, sickness, and death are the will of Heaven.

And isn't the purpose of spiritual practice to escape these fates?

"You seem to have gained some insights?"

Wang Yaozu sat down next to Jingming and said with a smile.

He grew to like this disciple more and more the more he looked at him. He was only six years old, yet he had already begun to understand life.

What was he doing when he was six years old?

Hmm, I can't remember exactly, but I think I was getting beaten up.

"Yes, I have some insights, but it will take time to verify them."

Jingming nodded slightly and smiled at Wang Yaozu.

Zuo Ruotong is not here, and without a good teacher to guide him, he can only rely on his own understanding.
