From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Then--

"Learn the method of reversing life? Sure."

Unexpectedly, after meeting Hong Guniang, learning about her past, understanding her character, and confirming that she had now joined Jiang Liu's opera troupe, Zuo Ruotong immediately agreed.

Li Muxuan: "..."

Did the slap in the face have to come so quickly?

So he needs to be tested for so long?

However, Li Muxuan tried to convince himself that the Left Sect Master had initially regarded him as having a spiritual root like Sun Wukong, but because his temperament was inferior and he couldn't compare to those with innate spiritual roots, he had become "Sha Wujing" instead.

[Damn! The more I think about it, the angrier I get!]

When Hong Guniang first met Zuo Ruotong, she was amazed by his "divine" appearance: fair skin, white hair, and youthful looks.

According to Lu Jin and Li Muxuan, this Zuo Ruotong is older than Wang Yaozu!

It's truly miraculous!

Zuo Ruotong ignored what Li Muxuan, Lu Jin and Hong Guniang were talking about, and said to Jiang Liu, "She wants to learn the method of reversing life, so you can teach her. After all, mine is the third level of reversing life, while yours is the ninth level."

"...Master Zuo really loves to joke. My Ninefold Reverse Rebirth is just a modified version of the Threefold Reverse Rebirth. If I want to pass on the technique, I naturally need your approval." Jiang Liu clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, speaking in a serious tone.

"Does that mean you'll have to come up the mountain and tell me every time you preach the Dharma?" Master Zuo smiled. "That would be too troublesome. I'd rather just give you that authority directly, and I'll also tell Si Chong, Cheng Zhen, and the others about it later."

"I am flattered."

Jiang Liu never expected that Zuo Ruotong would value him so much.

Just as he was feeling sentimental, he heard Zuo Ruotong say, "If I give you this power directly, most of the people in my sect will not accept it."

Okay then.

"There's no better time than today. Let's have a match here today, so that all my disciples can witness your skills. Then, naturally, no one will have any complaints."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu did not immediately agree. Instead, he secretly circulated his Qi to sense Zuo Ruotong's condition and exclaimed in surprise, "Sect Leader Zuo, you have already touched that threshold?!"

"It seems you've made quite a bit of progress since your trip, you were even able to notice it." Zuo Ruotong hadn't noticed how much Jiang Liu had improved, but she couldn't help but feel secretly pleased, realizing that she could use him to completely break through those three thresholds!

# Chapter 193 The play may end, the dream may end.

According to the original plot, it will take Zuo Ruotong at least another ten years to break through to the third level.

Why was it brought forward?

The main issue is the butterfly effect caused by the river's flow.

Cultivating the second level of Reverse Rebirth is like walking on a road with no end in sight. Since cultivating the second level, Zuo Ruotong has maintained the state of Reverse Rebirth. He has never relaxed when walking, sitting, lying down, eating, or drinking. It can be said that he "turned misfortune into blessing", which made his progress in the second level far exceed that of other practitioners who have cultivated to the second level.

Zuo Ruotong joined the Sanyi Sect at a young age. After learning the Reverse Life Triple Technique, he rarely came into contact with other sects outside. In addition, the world was unstable, and unless necessary, people from various sects rarely went out and mostly wandered around their own territories.

Because of Jiang Liu, Wang Yaozu had to leave Quanxing, which gave the various sects and families a rare opportunity to meet each other. It also allowed Zuo Ruotong to truly witness the Golden Light Mantra, Thunder Magic, and Talismans of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

The Threefold Method of Reversing Life...

It's only comparable to the Golden Light Mantra of the Celestial Master's Mansion!

The Zhengyi lineage has always focused on "talismans," not the Golden Light Mantra or thunder magic. These are merely means of self-protection. "Tongtian" may refer to relying on talismans to verify one's cultivation in order to achieve communion with heaven and earth!

After learning about Jiang Liu's idea of ​​"reconstructing the nine orifices," Zuo Ruotong has recently been using her Qi transformation skills to reconstruct the other six orifices besides the three dantian during her practice.

Perhaps because the skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs completed the transformation of Qi first, the body became unbalanced. As a result, when it was time to reconstruct the other six orifices, those six orifices were transformed into Qi just like the flesh and blood. Based only on the three dantian, they could no longer be reconstructed.

Even so, Zuo Ruotong has been trying to stabilize the six orifices and combine the three dantians in the past few days. Through reverse cultivation, she found that the path to the second level has suddenly become much smoother, and the end seems to be right in front of her!

He has now completed over 99% of the reverse training of his primordial spirit and brain!

Just one step away from breaking through to the third level!

The Ghost Hand Opera will eventually come to an end; the great dream of the Three Kingdoms will eventually end!

Can the Triple Heavenly Gate be reached?

Zuo Ruotong did not intend to delay any longer.

If the Triple Heaven is truly a grand dream, then the disciples of the Trinity should wake up as soon as possible and face reality in order to continue moving forward.

Even if only a small number of people are willing to walk through the harsh realities of life, they can still carry on the true ideals of the Trinity School!

Only by going against the tide can one attain the ultimate skill!

Zuo Ruotong now truly understands the meaning of "going against the current"—it's not about reversing the flow of life in martial arts, but about striving against the current in one's life!

If the Trinity School is wrong, then its members and disciples should bravely stand up, refute their elders, go against the tide, and point out the errors!

But now, none of the disciples of the Sanyi Sect dare to contradict their elders. As for the three levels of reverse rebirth passed down, the disciples practice exactly as their elders teach them. Even though there are so many senior brothers, sisters, and elders in the sect who have become crippled due to failing to break through the reverse rebirth barrier, none of the younger disciples feel there is a problem.

On the contrary, Jiang Liu, who had learned the Reverse Life Technique, dared to say that the Reverse Life Triple was problematic, created the Reverse Life Ninth Level, and even took the lead in using himself as an experiment.

Based on this alone, Zuo Ruotong understood that if anyone in this world could obtain the true "Creation and Transformation Technique", it would be Jiang Liu alone!

Anyway-

If Sanyimen were to remain immersed in his dream forever, it would be just as Lu Xun had said, as he had learned from Dongshan:

Do not erupt in silence, but perish in silence.

In Zuo Ruotong's view, dreaming, even a beautiful dream, is no different from "silence"—it either erupts or perishes.

Perhaps even in his final moments he couldn't bear to interrupt this grand dream that had lasted for hundreds and thousands of years, but at least he had planted the seed...

And now!

Let's see if he can truly reach the heavens after breaking through the third level!

When Jiang Liu heard that Zuo Ruotong wanted to challenge him in front of all the disciples of the Sanyi Sect, his first thought was to decline. However, after seeing Zuo Ruotong's sincere eyes and considering what he had experienced along the way, he had a different idea.

drag--

Absolutely not!

Just as Zuo Ruotong thought, Jiang Liu also believed that if the possibility of reversing the three levels of life to reach the heavens was a dream spanning a thousand years, then waking up as soon as possible was the key.

"Hey, Master Zuo, are you trying to make me the villain?" Jiang Liu said with a resentful look in his eyes.

"You can't say that. You owe a lot to the Reverse Life Method of my Sanyi Xuanmen, right?" Zuo Ruotong was already planning to use moral blackmail.

after all--

He is not a true saint.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu's mouth twitched. He was helpless, but he knew that this was the best way.

At least in this way, the Sanyi Sect will most likely not be wiped out, nor will it suffer the serious consequences of Wugensheng and Li Muxuan, who almost caused a war between good and evil in the world of supernatural beings after trespassing on the sect's gate.

But Ghost Hand Wang's opera troupe definitely can't stay in the Sanyimen area any longer!

Furthermore, considering that Zuo Ruotong broke through the third level and reached the state of Qi transforming the whole body, the mistakes made due to the practice of reverse life might be repaired... but the possibility is small. After all, in the original work, after Zuo Ruotong finished his practice, he no longer remained young and vigorous, but became very old. It is even very likely that the constant maintenance of the reverse life state would cause his innate Qi to be consumed even faster... and he probably won't live much longer!

Jiang Liu understood the personalities of Si Chong and Cheng Zhen. Cheng Zhen was somewhat agreeable, but Zuo Ruotong's junior brother was different. He absolutely refused to admit that the Xuanmen method of Sanyi was flawed!

Si Chong didn't really care whether the Triple Path could lead to the heavens; what he cared about was the name of the Triple Path Mystic Sect and this grand dream.

It can be said that if Zuo Ruotong were to break through the third level and die in a short period of time, Si Chong and Cheng Zhen would never obey Zuo Ruotong's orders. Instead, for the sake of the banner of the "Xuanmen" of Sanyi, they would choose to cause trouble for Jiang Liu.

Kill him...

No, that's not the case. After all, he's not the Quanxing demon Wugensheng!

Although he was not a member of the Sanyi Sect, he practiced the Reverse Life Technique and thus had a connection with the Sanyi Sect.

But it seems that Chong will definitely want to defeat him to prove that the Reverse Life Triple is the orthodox one!

Or they want him to help them break through to the third level, to prove that the Three Ones Sect's techniques are still one of the top techniques among the Xuanmen sects of the world!

"Master Zuo, you're being too polite."

Jiang Liu took a deep breath and actually put his arm around Zuo Ruotong's shoulder, showing none of the respect he had shown when he first met this Great Ying Immortal. "Although you are decades older than me, as long as we share the same ideals, we are friends. Isn't it only right to help a friend?"

When Jiang Liu put his arm around her, Zuo Ruotong was taken aback for a moment before smiling and saying, "Then it's settled."

Judging from Jiang Liu's audacity in putting his arm around him and calling him a friend, Zuo Ruotong was certain that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, there was no one else besides this kid who could comprehend the Creation and cultivate the Huiyuan!

Zhang Zhiwei of the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain?

No.

Although that fellow also possessed abundant innate Qi and a resolute will, he was ultimately following someone else's path. Furthermore, Jiang Liu had been navigating the mortal world since childhood, while Zhang Zhiwei—

Even if someone is quick-witted, they are still a novice before truly entering the world.

Will the future of the martial arts world belong to Jiang Liu and Zhang Zhiwei?

Zuo Ruotong, however, did not think so.

The martial arts world will only belong to Zhang Zhiwei.

And the river flows—

We have even bigger goals!

The incident in Goose City has already proven that he is trying to find a new and more suitable place for the extraordinary in this world of change, where the two sides are colliding.

Regardless of future success or failure, Jiang Liu is worthy of being called a "successor" simply because of this direction!

# Chapter 194 Zuo Ruotong VS Jiang Liu

Half an hour later.

Inside the Sanyi Gate, apart from the disciples who were visiting their families, going on missions, and Chengzhen who was delivering a message to the Jianghu Inn, everyone else was already present.

Those Jiang Liu knew, such as Si Chong, Shui Yun, and Chang Qing, as well as his disciples whose bodies were damaged due to cultivation, were all present.

"The purpose of gathering everyone here today is to verify the triple effect."

Zuo Ruotong didn't waste any words and stated her intentions directly: "I am only one step away from the third level, and I need to use the help of this young man, Jiang Liu, to break through."

In an instant, the entire audience erupted in uproar.
