Under One Person: From Nascent Soul to Great Sacred Body

"But, but, but I don't mind."

"Master, I wish to become your disciple."

Liu Deshui knelt down with a thud and said "but" three times.

"But I can't hold you back."

Zuo Ruotong shook her head and said firmly.

If something is unsuitable, it is unsuitable. Children can be willful and act according to their own personality, but adults cannot.

When doing things, one should not act solely based on momentary pleasure.

"I"

Seeing that Zuo Ruotong so resolutely refused his offer to become her disciple, Liu Deshui was momentarily speechless with disappointment.

"Alright, Lu Jin and Li Muxuan, come with me."

"As for you, go back to the lower courtyard and get some rest."

Zuo Ruotong slowly shook her head, then turned and walked into the inner hall.

"Alright, what's there to be sad about?"

"There is more than just the Sanyi Sect in the world of mystical arts."

The crowd dispersed, but Jingming remained.

"But I really want to worship the Trinity."

Liu Deshui wiped his nose and said in a tearful voice.

“I’ve always worked just as hard in the lower house.”

"Then why do you insist on worshipping the Trinity?"

Jingming looked at the sturdy Liu Deshui in front of him and asked.

“My dad said that if we’re going to become disciples, we should become disciples of the most powerful sect, so that no one will bully us.”

Liu Deshui cleared his throat, which was choked with emotion, and then spoke.

"The Trinity is not the most powerful."

"Putting aside other things, Longhu Mountain and Maoshan are sects that have been passed down for thousands of years."

"There are many people inside who are more powerful than the Sanyi Sect."

Jingming comforted Liu Deshui.

"Besides, didn't the sect leader just say that?"

"You are not suited for the methods of the Sanyi Sect."

"It's not suitable, which means you won't go very far on the path of cultivation."

"If it can't go very far, then it means it won't be very powerful."

"If you're not strong, you'll get bullied."

"Look, once you join a sect that suits you and become powerful, won't no one be able to bully you then?"

Jingming patted Liu Deshui on the shoulder and said with a serious expression.

Is that so?

Liu Deshui blinked and said incredulously.

"We're both from the 'Virtue' generation, would I lie to you?"

Jingming said with a serious expression.

"Look at how strong and fit you are, we might need your help in the future."

Jingming said with a serious expression.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely protect you."

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Liu Deshui wiped his face and said with a serious expression.

He was still just a six or seven-year-old child.

"Let's go. We've talked so much. Let's go back and get some sleep. We can go home after we get down the mountain."

"You haven't seen your parents for so long, they must miss you too."

As Jingming spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the lower courtyard.

By the time Jingming returned from the lower courtyard, it was already evening.

"Hehehe, you'll have to call me senior brother from now on."

Inside the inner courtyard, Li Muxuan and Lu Jin, having completed the ritual of paying homage to the ancestral master, appeared before Jingming.

"You all know about the consequences of cultivating the Reverse Life Triple Stage?"

Jingming looked at Li Muxuan and Lu Jin and asked.

"Yes, we've met all those senior and junior masters."

Li Muxuan narrowed his eyes and nodded with a serious expression.

Although he was afraid of the consequences, it did not affect Li Muxuan's admiration for Zuo Ruotong.

Today, he learned from a senior brother that their master had broken through to the third level of the Reverse Life Triple Realm.

The true demeanor of an immortal.

Li Muxuan was convinced of this without a doubt. As a loyal fan of Zuo Ruotong, who had been instilled with this belief by his father, and considering the difference between Zuo Ruotong today and before, he was convinced of this.

He truly believed that Zuo Ruotong was a deity!

"Do your parents agree?"

Jingming nodded and asked softly.

“My father wouldn’t dare refuse.”

“When my father came, he said that I could become a disciple of the Sanyi Sect.”

Li Muxuan and Lu Jin spoke to Jingming one after the other.

"That's fine."

"You guys go back and check on Deshui first. The three of you came together, but he was the only one who didn't succeed."

"That kid is probably not in a good mood, so you should treat him well."

"He'll probably be sent away in two days."

Jingming nodded to the two of them, and then walked towards Zuo Ruotong's room.

"See you tomorrow then."

Li Muxuan nodded happily, and then walked towards the lower courtyard with Lu Jin.

"Jingming, do you think it's really possible for people to defy fate and change their destiny?"

Seeing Jingming's arrival, Zuo Ruotong, who was sitting on the futon, sighed slightly and then spoke.

Looking at Lu Jin and Li Muxuan standing respectfully in front of her, Zuo Ruotong felt a moment of disorientation. The two small figures in the inner vision overlapped with the two small figures in front of her.

For a moment, Zuo Ruotong couldn't tell which was reality and which was fantasy.

"Master, what are you saying? Isn't the essence of our Sanyi Sect's teachings to defy fate and change one's destiny?"

Upon hearing Zuo Ruotong's words, Jingming replied softly, then sat down on the futon in front of Zuo Ruotong and nodded to Shuiyun, Changqing, Chengzhen, and the others beside him.

"I am obsessed with appearances."

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Zuo Ruotong smiled slightly and then stopped worrying about it.

If it's done, it's done. What's there to fuss about?

"Shuiyun, go down the mountain tomorrow and take Liu Deshui to the Martial Arts Hall."

“This child is suited to the martial arts school’s training methods.”

Then Zuo Ruotong spoke to Shuiyun on one side of her.

"Remember, don't say it was me who said it."

Zuo Ruotong gave a word of advice.

Although the children I send over are all quite talented, it's not friendly to their sect.

Someone happily accepted a disciple, but their disciple was only thinking about Zuo Ruotong. Anyone would feel disgusted in that situation.

"Understood, Master."

Shuiyun nodded and agreed immediately.

The current prestige of the Sanyi Sect is inextricably linked to this behavior, which involves sending talents to various sects and factions year after year.

"Well, next I will explain to you my insights into the realm after my breakthrough, and I hope it will be helpful to you."

Zuo Ruotong nodded, then lowered her eyes and began to explain.
