From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Author: Ye Zhixin

Introduction 1:

Republic of China

Jiang Liu, who was adopted by Wang Yaozu, came with him to the town where the Sanyi Gate was located.

Seeing that Wang Yaozu had taken a liking to Li Muxuan and was having an ambiguous relationship with the Great Ying Immortal, Jiang Liu had no choice but to abandon his intention to hide his talents.

"You little brat! You even lied to your old man!"

"I can't help it, I want to be a good person."

"Why aren't you hiding it anymore?"

"Because I'm better than you."

Introduction 2:

Cultivate both nature and life, and understand the Great Dao of the Golden Elixir.

Jiang Liu is reborn in the Republic of China era of "Under One Person". He obtains innate Qi and awakens supernatural abilities, which allow him to integrate a part of his spirit and soul into his body organs, turning them into clones.

Thus, the five spirits—the Monkey King, the Horse of the Mind, the Golden Lord, the Wooden Mother, and the Yellow Woman—are united as one, guarding the primordial spirit, beginning with one person and ending with ten thousand!

As long as your heart is pure and sincere, wherever you go will be a sacred mountain!

Chapter 1 Jiang Liu, the Extraordinary Man

Republic of China era.

Since the emperor was gone, the Qing Dynasty had long since become a thing of the past, but the wars did not stop, and even the Jiangnan region was somewhat desolate overall.

Fortunately, this area is much more peaceful than the Central Plains, and there is even a sense of prosperity in this small town.

This is because the Sanyi Xuanmen sect is located here. Its disciples come from prominent families or local gentry, and they often help each other. Their interests are intertwined and complex. Even the nearby bandit warlords have to give them some face and dare not act arrogantly in this small town.

In particular, Zuo Ruotong, the leader of the Sanyi Sect, is respectfully addressed as "Daying Immortal" by people from all around.

On the streets of this very town, a boy of about fifteen or sixteen was putting on a great show of his ball-flipping skills.

The boy had an ordinary appearance, but his eyes were bright and full of energy. As he twisted his waist, rose and fell his shoulders, and swung his arms, the eight round wooden balls, each the size of a marble, swung back and forth around him, spinning endlessly!

With a wave of his arm, the eight small balls linked together in the air, transforming into a long snake that coiled around his neck, prompting the surrounding audience to applaud and cheer!

"it is good!"

"Young man, you're quite skilled!"

"One more! One more!"

Seeing the applause and praise from the onlookers, the boy didn't hesitate. He waved his arms again, and the eight round wooden balls around his neck seemed to come alive. They resembled a snake, circling his right arm and floating out into the air. They then circled the necks of the surrounding audience before flying back into his hand.

In an instant!

Applause erupted again! Cheers continued unabated!

This skill, known as "Reversing the Eight Directions," was passed down from Wang Yaozu.

The boy's name is Jiang Liu. He is a transmigrator from the modern world. In his previous life, he became obsessed with Taoist and Buddhist scriptures because of the comic "Under One Person". He also studied the alchemy contained in "Journey to the West". He was so engrossed in his studies that he fell asleep and came to this world.

He was an orphan whose parents were unknown. Wang Yaozu found him in a rotten wooden basin in a small river. Seeing that his background was similar to that of Tang Sanzang in "Journey to the West", he didn't bother to name him and simply called him Jiang Liu.

Wang Yaozu wasn't a pushover either. These weren't peaceful times anymore; he'd seen plenty of children starving or being killed, so he generally wouldn't bother with them. He said he picked up Jiang Liu because he was fetching water from the river when Jiang Liu happened to float up to him. He noticed that Jiang Liu's eyes were brighter than most, with a glint of shrewdness, which sparked his interest.

As Jiang Liu grew older, he gradually remembered his past and present lives, realizing that he had transmigrated to the world of Under One Person.

But things didn't go well from the start, and they were picked up by the Quanxing people.

Wang Yaozu, known as Ghost Hand King, possessed the skill of turning things upside down in all directions. Even the righteous sects who disliked him had to admit that he had indeed cultivated this martial arts skill to a level that no one before him could reach.

However, he was ultimately a member of the Quanxing sect. Although he performed for a living, he mostly relied on his unique skill of flipping things around to steal.

Ill-gotten gains come the fastest!

They steal from both the wealthy and the poor.

Jiang Liu also tried to persuade Wang Yaozu, but he wouldn't listen and said that everyone should be treated equally.

At this point, Jiang Liu stopped trying to persuade him.

He was raised by Wang Yaozu. Apart from his hidden innate abilities, including the ability to reverse the eight directions, all of these came from the Ghost Hand King.

How can we sever ties with this kindness simply because the other party is a petty thief?

Therefore, he could only repay the debt in his own way.

Just like his ability to perform his magic tricks on the street, he used the money he earned, after deducting his own expenses, to compensate the unlucky guys whose money was stolen by Ghost Hand King.

He couldn't decide his birth in this life, but having lived two lives, Jiang Liu wanted to choose for himself what kind of person he would become in the future.

Although he was raised by Ghost Hand King, he did not join Quanxing.

What is wholeness?

Tracing its origins back to Yang Zhu, the core principle was to benefit the world without harming a single hair, but it later went astray and became a reckless and tyrannical organization.

Although Jiang Liu was raised by Ghost Hand King, as long as he doesn't publicly declare himself to be a member of Quanxing, the righteous sects won't openly regard him as one of Quanxing, but they won't be too close to him either.

Jiang Liu smiled slightly, bowed to the four directions, and said, "Fellow villagers, my skills are no match for my master's, please forgive my shortcomings! But I earn my living through my own abilities, so if you have money, please support me financially, and if you don't have money, please support me with your presence. I thank you all very much!"

People were delighted and naturally didn't hesitate to take the coins out of their pockets.

Of course, only those with spare money would give tips; ordinary villagers mostly just accepted them for free, but he wasn't annoyed and simply thanked everyone.

After receiving the money, Jiang Liu headed home.

Calling it a home isn't entirely accurate; it was just a dilapidated thatched hut that his master had temporarily rented.

"The ungrateful brat is back! How much did you make today?"

At home, an old man, emaciated, bald, with a white beard, dressed in coarse linen clothes, was holding a bowl of wine, sipping it slowly. When he saw Jiang Liu return, he couldn't help but speak sarcastically.

After all, the two people behave and handle things very differently.

However, he raised Jiang Liu for fifteen years and treated him like his own son.

Jiang Liu was already used to Wang Yaozu's sarcastic remarks.

Furthermore, he was born with knowledge, and no matter how he disguised himself, he still carried the habits and principles of his previous life, which were incompatible with the way Ghost Hand King conducted himself. Even the disciples of the Trinity School in this town marveled at his purity despite being surrounded by filth.

"not much."

Jiang Liu took out a portion and handed it to Wang Yaozu as his retirement money, but still advised him, "Don't do those petty thefts anymore. I've enough to support you in your old age."

"Hmph, do you think I need you to support this old man?"

After downing the wine in his bowl in one gulp, Wang Yaozu snatched the copper coin Jiang Liu handed him and snorted, "I only pulled you out of the river because I saw that you had naturally bright eyes and a tendency to awaken innate abilities. Who would have thought you didn't have them!"

Although Ghost Hand King was a member of the Quanxing sect, he still had the desire to pass on his skills and even hoped that future generations could carry them forward and establish their own sect.

If a naturally gifted individual were to inherit this technique, the probability of establishing a new sect would be much higher.

After all, the situation is chaotic these days, and having more superpowers increases the chances of survival.

But who would have thought—

Jiang Liu concealed his innate special ability, so much so that even Wang Yaozu couldn't detect it. Moreover, Jiang Liu also hid his shortcomings in cultivating the Reversal of Eight Directions, which is why Wang Yaozu now finds Jiang Liu quite displeasing.

Why hide your shortcomings even when reversing the eight directions?

The caution brought about by being reborn as a second person.

Especially since Wang Yaozu is a member of the Quanxing sect and often interacts with other members of the Quanxing sect, if he were to reveal his talent for cultivation and then tell the other members of the Quanxing sect that he was drunk and forced to join the Quanxing sect, that would be a real problem.

"However, I recently found a good lad. He's incredibly bright and will surely carry on my skills in the future. You'll be his right-hand man!"

# Chapter 2 Innate Superpowers: Conferred Gods

Who is the clever kid Wang Yaozu mentioned?

no doubt.

Li Muxuan.

That's a dishonest kid!

Jiang Liu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "No wonder you've been going out alone so often lately."

"If you can't carry on my skills, I need to find someone to do it!" Wang Yaozu slammed his fist on the table and cursed. "You're just thinking about supporting me in my old age! But I don't need you to support me! What I want is to pass on my skills, and maybe one day, my successor will be able to establish his own school!"

Jiang Liu was taken aback.

Previously, he only knew that Wang Yaozu had this idea, but because of his own selfish motives, he kept it to himself. But now, seeing the other party's hysterical state—

Jiang Liu realized he was wrong.

Wang Yaozu has kept me by his side for fifteen years!

Though not blood-related, they are closer than blood-related! That affection is no illusion!

Only in this way would Wang Yaozu become so hysterical!

Only when he treats himself as his own son will he shout out his truest thoughts in an almost roaring manner!

[Heh, I was thinking Li Muxuan wasn't being honest, turns out I'm not much better myself!]

Once you realize you've made a mistake, you must correct it!

With a self-deprecating laugh, Jiang Liu knelt down, kowtowed to Wang Yaozu, and said, "I'm sorry, Master. I've caused you so much trouble all this time."

Wang Yaozu was speechless and cursed, "It's only natural for a son to kneel before his father, but you're not my son, so you don't need to kneel!"

After saying that, he stood up, grabbed Jiang Liu's shoulder, and tried to pull him up, but almost stumbled.

"Stubborn, huh?"
