From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

The force of Tai Chi erupted in his wrist, tearing through his skin and shattering his wrist.

In an instant, the broken bones were repaired and the shattered flesh was healed. The power of Qi transformation made Zuo Ruotong invincible from the start!

Jiang Liu's goal was not to defeat Zuo Ruotong.

After shaking off Zuo Ruotong's arm, Jiang Liu also threw a punch.

Bang!

Zuo Ruotong raised her hand to block, but the magnetic force instantly attached itself to Jiang Liu's punch, and with her life cultivation at its peak, her arm snapped with a "crack".

After being repaired again, Zuo Ruotong launched another attack, leaving behind a series of afterimages with Jiang Liu on the field, like dragons and snakes in the wind, or like wind and clouds rising.

It's hard to see clearly!

The explosions from the collision were deafening, and the reverberations caused those watching from the sidelines to feel their internal organs churn slightly, forcing them to exert their inner strength to resist.

"So strong!"

Si Chong was incredulous, his eyes wide as bull's, his mouth agape enough to fit an apple. "Jiang Liu is only sixteen, yet he already possesses such fighting power. What will he be like in the future?"

The others were speechless.

Those with weak cultivation levels need to rely on circulating their Qi to stabilize their internal organs in order to withstand the sound waves generated by the collision between the two. How could they dare to rashly evaluate the two people in the arena?

The gap seems to be widening...

Li Muxuan clenched his fists secretly, doubting that even if he launched a sneak attack, he would never have the chance to stuff a mouthful of mud into Jiang Liu's mouth! Compared to him, neither he nor Lu Jin could be considered geniuses; they were merely ordinary mortals!

"Not using that technique that can organize another person's Qi into the most basic Qi body state?"

Zuo Ruotong, who had lost both arms and one leg, recovered quickly. As he circulated his Qi, he shouted out, sensing that Jiang Liu was still holding back.

"That's mainly for my own use."

The mind and will can be restored to their original state by regulating Qi, which can be used to break other people's spells. However, Jiang Liu prefers to use it on himself to regulate his Qi, improve his internal cultivation methods, and continuously build a system for circulating Qi throughout the body.

Against the enemy?

It works, but it's a waste of talent.

The moment the words fell, Jiang Liu pressed down on Zuo Ruotong's fist that had broken through the air with a palm, and with a leap of his waist and hips, he became as one with a monkey and a horse, his strength even greater than before, and slammed his shoulder hard into Zuo Ruotong's chest.

boom!

Like the resounding beat of a great bell, echoing throughout the world, many people outside the venue covered their ears and felt a sudden discomfort in their chests.

Let's look at Zuo Ruotong again—

A large hole had been torn open in his chest, but there was no blood splattering in the sky. To everyone's astonishment, the overflowing Qi gathered, recombine, and returned to its original form.

That's absolutely incredible!

"However, please rest assured, Master Zuo!"

"I can bring you extreme pressure without even using that trick!"

Say it!

Jiang Liu clasped his hands together, and red and blue intertwined patterns appeared on his hands, then spread to his arms, shoulders and back, and finally covered most of his chest.

Innate runic diagram!

The Four Laws of the Mind!

"open!"

# Chapter 196 The Triple Heaven Cannot Reach the Heavens

The innate talismanic diagram has four methods: shifting stars and changing constellations, avoiding death and prolonging life, manipulating heaven and earth, and understanding all things.

By shifting the stars and changing the constellations, and combining this with the innate nine palaces and eight trigrams of the human body, one can perceive the timing of heaven and understand the advantages of the land, thereby experiencing the changes of all things in the world.

To avoid death and prolong life, one must understand the cyclical principle of the rise of Yang and the fall of Yin in the heart and kidneys, cultivate the eighty-four thousand illusory apertures, and be versed in human relationships and worldly affairs in order to avoid the calamity of death.

By mastering the art of manipulating the universe and cultivating it to its highest level, one can grasp the essence of heaven and earth, control the world, and further understand the principles of Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination), thus discerning auspicious and inauspicious omens.

In short, it involves using Qimen Dunjia techniques to create one's own space and control changes in the Qi situation.

The so-called "discerning fortune and misfortune" refers to judging good and bad luck. Qimen Dunjia (a form of divination) is used to create its own energy pattern, causing others to be placed in an inauspicious position while placing oneself in an auspicious position, thus weakening the abilities of others and enhancing one's own capabilities.

Because the Qimen Dunjia system unfolds, the spatial energy pattern is formed independently and can be controlled by oneself, thus enabling one to grasp the sun and moon and shrink thousands of mountains.

In the end, all things are clear, the eyes can perceive reason, the ears can hear sounds, one cultivates the primordial spirit, understands cause and effect, and unites with heaven and earth. Just as a sorcerer inquires about the past and predicts the future in his inner vision, so too can one know everything in the world.

Jiang Liu's body has three passes and nine orifices, along with the eight extraordinary meridians, forming a unique system within his body composed of the innate and acquired eight trigrams. This system perfectly aligns with the functions of shifting stars and changing constellations, avoiding death and prolonging life, manipulating the universe, and understanding all things. Therefore, he succeeded on his first attempt to draw the claw-shaped innate talisman on his palm.

Having cultivated to this point, the innate talisman diagram has already outlined most of the bones in his body, making his life more stable.

Jiang Liu swung his right arm, and his Qi surged forth. In an instant, wind and clouds rose and transformed into a bone arm and claw about three zhang long.

The bone claw was as white as jade, with red and blue patterns flowing across it, making it incredibly strange.

A claw reached out—

Zuo Ruotong instinctively moved to the back of her body.

But the claws suddenly disappeared and reappeared from behind him, pressing him to the ground with a single palm strike.

Bang!

The force was so exquisite that it did not damage the ground in the slightest; all the force was poured into Zuo Ruotong's body.

"This is... a sorcerer's technique?"

Among the onlookers, the disciple from the Wuhou School who had already acquired martial arts skills and joined the sect stared wide-eyed.

He didn't sense that Jiang Liu had used any special techniques, but the way the bone claw traversed space was similar to the Eight Gates Movement, and the location where it appeared was an inauspicious position relative to the Left Gate Master!

This is indeed a method of Qimen Dunjia!

Since Jiang Liu constructed the Qimen framework, the only spells he has mastered are the four brought about by cultivating the innate talisman diagram: shifting stars and changing constellations, avoiding death and prolonging life, manipulating heaven and earth, and understanding all things.

Using the method of shifting stars and changing constellations, he sensed the timing and location of the situation and thus understood the changes in Zuo Ruotong's body in this place.

By using the method of avoiding death and prolonging life to perform the work of yin descending and yang ascending, the right arm expands as much as possible after the qi is transformed, transforming into this state similar to a Dharma image;

Using the method of manipulating heaven and earth to determine good or bad fortune, and performing spatial manipulation, the attack is placed in the most suitable position to achieve the greatest effect.

Finally, the method of understanding all things allows one to temporarily unite with heaven and earth, comprehend all of Zuo Ruotong's methods, and make predictions in advance.

Therefore, although Jiang Liu only conjured up bone arms and bone claws and used the bone claws to traverse space and suppress Zuo Ruotong, it was actually the result of using all four methods of the innate talisman diagram.

Moreover, to reach this level, Jiang Liu still needed to cultivate the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts," first gaining control over human magnetism and then overcoming the reversal of blood and flesh Qi transformation as a foundation.

If one only cultivates the innate talisman diagram, one will have the assistance of the five gods within the body. To achieve this effect, it would take at least twenty years of cultivation.

The human magnetic field stabilizes the eight meridians of the body, strengthens the five internal organs and the five vital energies; by reversing the cycle of birth and cultivating the nine orifices, one can stabilize the central palace of the Niwan (upper dantian).

Only when "life" and "nature" are so firmly established, and life and nature intersect in a peculiar way, can such power be displayed.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a supernatural power!

Zuo Ruotong was pinned under the bone claws, unable to move. His dual body was constantly being worn away by the spatial abilities carried by the bone claws, yet it was also constantly being reborn.

Flesh and blood shattered...

Qi transformation...

Reorganization...

Under this continuous reorganization, Jiang Liu noticed that his three cores were shaking, and the last neuron in his brain was also being infiltrated by Qi.

Thus, the desired effect has been achieved!

Jiang Liu then stopped his attack, and the massive bone claw shrank back to its original flesh and blood right arm state.

Then look at Zuo Ruotong—

Having already exited the dual state, her face is aging at a visible rate, with wrinkles appearing, her fair skin gradually turning yellow and dark, and even age spots appearing.

"Master!"

Everyone was deeply moved.

The Three Stages of Enlightenment...

Has it failed?

Just as Si Chong was about to rush forward, wisps of white Qi emanated from Zuo Ruotong's body. In an instant, his body disappeared, leaving only a white Taoist robe.

"The sect leader?!"

Everyone was shocked, not understanding why Master Zuo's body had disappeared.

immediately!

Everyone felt a gentle breeze on their faces, and the shrunken Taoist robes suddenly floated up into the air, hovering in mid-air.

In an instant!

The surrounding Qi clouds came from nothingness, swirling around the clothes and gathering within them, manifesting the figure of Zuo Ruotong. Surrounded by Qi-formed clouds, he stood in mid-air, ethereal as an immortal!

"Triple... triple!"

Si Chong opened his mouth wide, then knelt down with a thud, staring blankly at Zuo Ruotong, who seemed like a god descended to earth.

All the disciples of the Sanyi Sect knelt down!

Hong Guniang also stared in disbelief at Zuo Ruotong, who seemed to be riding the clouds, and murmured, "There really are immortals in this world!"

This scene, resembling an immortal descending to earth, was deeply imprinted in Li Muxuan's eyes, causing him to hug Lu Jin tightly and exclaim, "Did you see that? The sect leader was right! The threefold path leads to the heavens!"

"yes······"

Lu Jin's eyes also welled up with tears of excitement, but remembering her fellow cultivator's feelings upon reaching the ninth level, she immediately suppressed her exhilaration and looked again at Zuo Ruotong standing in the air—

There was no joy of breakthrough on that face; on the contrary, the usual composure was gone, replaced by a hint of solemnity and bitterness.

The sect leader broke through three levels, but those three levels cannot lead to the heavens!?

Lu Jin's heart skipped a beat.

"Jiang Liu! Go down the mountain!"
