Under One Person: From Nascent Soul to Great Sacred Body

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 104 The only person to be granted the title of True Lord while still alive

"Sect Leader, we're back."

In the woods, outside a simple tent made of branches and leaves, Liu Mang and the others stood respectfully and responded in low voices.

Now, it has been five days since the day Jingming displayed his divine power.

What happened to the people inside and outside Changsha afterward?

Jingming, sitting on the bluestone slab, opened his eyes, his quiet, gray-white pupils looking silently at Liu Mang and the others standing in front of him.

"Reporting to the sect leader, no more of these Gu worms have appeared in or around Changsha City."

Liu Mang bowed and clasped his hands in a respectful response, then a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"According to our brothers' investigation, those ordinary people even placed longevity tablets for you, Sect Leader."

“There is also a statue of you inside the City God Temple.”

"And the prefect was also a pragmatic man, and ordered that this matter be included in the local chronicle."

"Sect Leader, now you've truly achieved eternal fame!"

At this point, Liu Mang excitedly raised his chin, as if that person were him.

"Idol?"

Upon hearing Liu Mang's words, Jingming's lips curled up slightly, and then he asked Liu Mang a question.

"So, what is my divine title?"

"The Divine Lord of Profound Compassion and Wondrous Dharma!!"

Liu Mang blinked, laughed loudly, and even bowed deeply to Jingming.

"Disciple Liu Mang pays respects to the Divine Lord Xuanci and Wondrous Dharma!"

Seeing Liu Mang like this, the others also bowed in respect.

"Greetings to the Divine and Mighty True Lord Xuanci!"

"Alright, I'm not dead yet."

Although Jingming said this, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

No wonder he felt his body was recovering faster these past few days; it turns out it was because his own "faith" was replenishing his body.

"By the way, Sect Leader, I heard something in Changsha these past few days."

Seeing Jingming's laughing and scolding expression, Liu Mang's tense heart finally relaxed.

Being with a true lord is really stressful.

In particular, this True Lord truly possesses the ability to summon wind and rain and bring forth thunder.

"explain."

Jingming nodded slightly, signaling Liu Mang to speak.

"These past few days, rumors have been circulating in Changsha that dragon energy is gathering in the city."

"This seems to be related to a poem that circulated in Changsha before."

Liu Mang organized his thoughts and began to speak.

"Tell me."

Jingming understands clearly that taking the lead in doing things is a tradition that has lasted for thousands of years.

Not to mention, his miraculous appearance in Changsha a few days ago was real.

"The emperor emerged from the sandy land of Southern Chu, wearing a golden helmet and gathering rebellious ministers. Clad in wooden armor, he established his hegemony, and treading on red clouds, he swept through the court."

"This is the poem that has been passed down through the ages."

As he spoke, Liu Mang swallowed hard.

I don't know about anything else, but on that day, Jingming truly stood on red clouds.

"Sect Leader, I'm afraid that if things continue like this, the reputation you've worked so hard to build will be ruined."

"It doesn't matter. I am not a True Lord, so what use is the title of True Lord to me?"

Jingming shook his head.

Even without this incident, Hunan Province would have already broken away from the Qing court's control.

"Is there anything else?"

Then Jingming asked again.

"Reporting to the sect leader, there are none left."

Liu Mang shook his head, then spoke.

"In that case, you should all take a good rest for the day. Tomorrow we will go to Qinghe Village to return the Gu Gu."

Jingming nodded, then closed his eyes again.

Taking advantage of this state of rebirth after being shattered to pieces, Jingming is gradually ravaging the lotus Dharma body into his own body.

Then the faith of hundreds of thousands of people in and around Changsha was influenced and guided by Jingming.

It can be said that Jingming's current firmness of nature and weight of life are unprecedented!

"Old Wang, has the sect leader just been sitting there without eating or drinking for the past few days?"

Seeing Jingming sitting motionless with his eyes closed in the shed made of branches and leaves, Liu Mang and the others, having finished their report, gathered together with Wang Yaozu and Lan Gu.

"Hmph, what do you know?"

"The Triple Reversal of Life in the Three Ones Sect allows one to maintain peak condition as long as one remains in the reverse life state."

"With Jingming's talent, if he hadn't been suppressing his cultivation, he probably would have already entered the second level of Reverse Rebirth."

"He is now gaining insight, gaining insight into his own path."

"He wants to forge his own path, a path different from Zuo Ruotong's!"

Upon hearing Liu Mang's words, Wang Yaozu, who was sitting by the fire picking at matches, glared at Liu Mang.

He could even create elaborate variations of his own "Reversed Eight Directions Pure Brightness" technique, and through it, he even mastered thunder magic, reaching the point where he could control thunder.

Couldn't the Threefold Reversal of Life of the Sanyi Sect, through its threefold rebirth, be innovated and achieved unparalleled mastery?!

"Yes, yes, you're right, Old Wang! The Sect Leader has the bearing of an immortal!"

Seeing Wang Yaozu's angry and glaring expression, Liu Mang couldn't help but lower his head.

"You fool, haven't you learned anything from the sect leader?"

On the other side, Zeng Chen sat down with his hands tucked into his pockets, warming himself by the fire, and looked at Liu Mang.

"Do I need to come to some realization?"

Upon hearing Zeng Chen's words, Liu Mang looked up, a hint of doubt on his face.

"No wonder you still need the Sect Leader's help to break through the Iron Shirt skill."

Seeing Liu Mang's puzzled expression, Zeng Chen shook his head slightly and said.

"That day, when you looked at the sect leader, what was your first thought?"

Zeng Chen looked at Liu Mang and said softly.

"Looking at the sect leader?"

Liu Mang lowered his head slightly.

"At that time, I only had the sect leader in my eyes."

Liu Mang recalled the scene from that day. Raindrops pounded in his eyes, and through the blurry lines, he saw Jingming's figure, holding up the sky with one hand and grasping thunder.

"Then you should just think about the sect leader."

Seeing Liu Mang's bewildered and dazed expression, Zeng Chen smiled and said.

"Revere the sect leader as a god."

After saying this, Zeng Chen closed his eyes and stopped talking, savoring the scene from that day.

For a moment, everyone fell silent, with only the crackling sound of matches burning.

"Well, it's been six days. My body has finally recovered a bit, and I can walk again."

The next morning, the first rays of sunlight shone through the leaves onto Jingming's eyes.

Jingming lifted his leg from the bluestone slab and stretched his body slightly.

With each movement, Jingming's body emitted a crackling sound.

This is the sound of Jingming's bones rubbing against each other.

If you were to break open the skin and flesh of Jingming's body, you would see the dense cracks on his bones.
