From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Let's go back to Ghost Hand Wang Cai's opera troupe. We need to pack our bags and prepare to leave the Sanyi Gate area," Jiang Liu said. "Is there anything you need to pack?"

"No, just a change of clothes. If Brother Jiang doesn't mind, I can wear what you used to wear."

Regarding leaving the territory of the San Yi Sect, Lu Jin understood Jiang Liu's feelings. It seemed that Uncle-Master Si Chong wouldn't be willing to leave. Many of the sect's disciples were lisp-tongued, and if word got out that the Third Level of Reverse Life couldn't reach the Heavenly Realm and that the Left Sect Master had been defeated by Jiang Liu, it would definitely cause a stir in the world of supernatural beings…

At that time, Uncle-Master Si Chong will definitely bring people to find Jiang Liu!

revenge?

No, Uncle Si Chong isn't the kind of person who makes trouble unreasonably!

But I'm afraid they'll come looking for Brother Jiang and challenge him in order to obtain the Triple Realm!

Can the Triple Rebirth Technique Lead to Heaven?

Uncle-Master Si Chong didn't care much; there was only one thing he cared about: the reputation of the Sanyi Xuanmen! He cared about that one word, "Xuan"!

Most disciples of the Sanyi Sect, including Li Muxuan, were like this.

Lu Jin is different. The family rules and precepts of the Lu family laid the foundation for his values. Compared with the "mystery" of the Xuanmen, he is more inclined to the "humanity" of the human world. He treats Zuo Ruotong and the disciples of the Sanyimen as family members, rather than fellow disciples.

Influenced by the river, I have now come to understand some of my true nature:

If family members go astray, those who are clear-headed should correct and rectify the situation, rather than following along and going down the wrong path, which would only lead to utter ruin.

If you lack the ability for the time being, you must first accumulate strength in order to prepare for the future!

This was Lu Jin's choice!

Jiang Liu nodded secretly:

A life without flaws?

We can only move forward if we have flaws!

······

# Chapter 201 Preparations Before Leaving

Leaving the territory of Sanyi Gate also requires some preparation:

With Zuo Ruotong's passing, the disciples of the Three Ones will certainly be busy, but they will not hold a grand funeral for him. After all, Taoists have always taken a detached view of life and death and prefer to keep everything simple.

Therefore, if they simply packed their bags and left, they might be discovered by the San Yi disciples who were coming down the mountain, who would then report to Si Chong and cause him to come looking for them.

The news of the Left Sect Master's passing will soon spread throughout the entire world of supernatural beings, and the sect leaders of sects with ties to the Sanyi Sect will surely come to offer their condolences and sympathies.

This incident is not the same as Li Muxuan and Wugensheng's intrusion into the Sanyi Sect in the original novel, but given Si Chong's impulsive nature and his unwavering dedication to the Sanyi Xuanmen—

To prove that the Reverse Life Triple Technique is one of the strongest techniques in the world, he might challenge me in front of those sect leaders!

To prove the name of the "Mysterious Sect" for the Sanyi Sect once again, defeating oneself in front of the leaders of other sects, or breaking through the third level, would definitely have the best effect!

If he falls due to "fake matches", or if he helps Si Chong at this stage, and Cheng Zhen, who returned to the San Yi Sect from the Jianghu Xiaozhan, breaks through the third level.

Therefore, the death of the Left Sect Master will not be of much significance to the San Yi Sect. Those disciples will choose to deceive themselves, and it will also increase the difficulty for Lu Jin to correct them in the future.

But what if I really defeated someone at level two or above in the Sanyi Sect—

That really shattered Sany's reputation as a "mystical sect"!

At least the other disciples of the Sanyi Sect should be given some buffer time.

Master Zuo has already broken the truth that the three levels of cultivation cannot reverse the innate Qi...

If Jiang Liu were to defeat the challengers from the San Yi Sect in front of the representatives from all the major sects again...

Can they withstand this blow?

The leaders of other sects do not think that the Sanyi Sect is not a sect because of this, and the disciples of the Sanyi Sect themselves cannot accept this.

The best approach would be to retreat strategically, leaving the territory of the Sanyi Sect first. The disciples of the Sanyi Sect, especially Si Chong, wouldn't dare directly inquire about Jiang Liu from the Jianghu Inn for the sake of their reputation. Instead, they would choose to let the Sanyi Sect's members investigate Jiang Liu's whereabouts privately.

【Master Zuo, now that you've become a saint, you no longer concern yourself with worldly affairs, while I, a mere mortal, have so many more things to consider… Ah, well, what can I do? I brought this upon myself.】

Jiang Liu certainly brought it upon himself.

If he hadn't agreed then, he could have taken the Red Girl down the mountain directly, and Zuo Ruotong wouldn't have stopped him.

However, he still chose to help.

Putting aside helping others for pleasure, just considering gratitude and righteousness, how could Jiang Liu not lend a helping hand to Zuo Ruotong after obtaining his method of reversing death?

"Zuo Ruotong has passed away?"

Inside the opera troupe, Wang Yaozu was shocked upon learning of this, then his eyes narrowed, "You killed him? And the others from the Sanyi Sect let you go?"

"Don't cut out the middle part, just connect the beginning and the end together, okay?"

Although the death of the Left Sect Master was indeed related to him, Jiang Liu absolutely refused to acknowledge Wang Yaozu's simplistic and crude way of connecting cause and effect. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and said to the others, "Get ready, it's time to leave. In the future, if you encounter disciples of the San Yi Sect, try to avoid them. If you really can't, just bring them to me, and I will spar with them behind closed doors."

"What are you kids standing there for? Pack your bags!" Wang Yaozu ordered.

"No need for a big fuss."

Jiang Liu stopped them, "For the next three days, just act as usual. Hong Guniang, Sai Huohou, and Dili Chui, secretly pack your bags. Lu Jin and I will go to pay our respects to Master Zuo..."

Since Zuo Ruotong has passed away, even if the funeral is kept simple, it is unlikely that Si Chong will come down the mountain to find them the next day.

Hong Guniang, Sai Huohou, and Dili Chui didn't go out to perform with the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe. Instead, they stayed home packing their bags. Others thought it was normal, since newcomers can't integrate into the group all at once and need time to adapt and rehearse new programs.

Finally, Jiang Liu, who was taken care of by Master Zuo, and Lu Jin, who was Master Zuo's disciple, both had to pay their respects at the moment of Master Zuo's burial, both out of courtesy and reason.

The memorial service is genuine.

This was to deceive others and teach them to leave the territory of the Trinity Gate later, which was also true!

Under these arrangements, within three days, Hong Guniang, Sai Huohou, and Dili Chuai packed all their belongings. After the Sanyi Sect disciples buried Zuo Ruotong in the back mountain and all left openly, Jiang Liu and Lu Jin went to pay their respects.

When the San Yi Sect disciples, who were hiding in the shadows, saw him and Lu Jin arrive, they summoned Si Chong.

"Jiang Liu" (江流).

Seeing Jiang Liu come to pay his respects, Si Chong did not stop him, his eyes filled with complex emotions. "My senior brother once hoped to entrust the Sanyi Sect to you before he passed away. I'll ask you one question: are you really unwilling to join the Sanyi Sect? If you are willing, you will be the sect leader of the Sanyi Sect!"

"Senior, my father was once a member of the Quanxing sect."

"Background is not an issue!"

Si Chong stared at the river, "On the contrary, those who emerge from the mud unsullied are the most precious and rare!"

"Ugh--"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu sighed.

Unlike Zuo Ruotong, Jiang Liu couldn't reason with Si Chong, who had such a stubborn temper. Master Zuo was the Great Ying Immortal, approachable and saintly, and willing to set aside his seniority to discuss the Dao with him, a junior. But Si Chong valued the reputation of the Sanyi Xuanmen and maintained his seniority.

But in the end, he still said, "Senior Si Chong, you should know very well why Master Zuo did what he did. He was just practicing the way of the sages. I could have just left at that time, but for a true cultivator, I have to fulfill his wish."

Si Chong gritted his teeth, his eyes brimming with tears, and said, "But, Senior Brother is severing the very foundation of the San Yi Sect!"

"If the old roots are not removed, new roots will not grow."

Jiang Liu walked past Si Chong in a calm tone, saying, "I would like to trouble Senior Si Chong to pass on a message to Li Muxuan: Only by letting go of the mystery can one attain the mystery."

These words were also spoken to the other disciples of the Sanyi Sect.

In fact, by focusing too much on the title of "mystical sect," the Sanyi Sect has become less like a mystical sect and more like a martial arts sect.

Moreover, even after Zuo Ruotong's passing, in terms of the effects of the technique, the Reverse Life Triple Technique is still one of the strongest techniques in the world.

Unable to reach the heavens?

Those sects with extraordinary lineages, once they reach the heavens, how many of them can escape old age and death?

If we only consider the limits of human lifespan and focus on the reputation of the Xuanmen (Taoist sect) without paying attention to the cultivation itself, then the Threefold Reversal of Life is sufficient. There is no need to prove anything to the world. Other Taoist sects will not consider the Sanyi Sect (Three Ones Sect) to be a different sect because of this.

The only thing trapping the Trinity members is themselves.

"Goodbye, Uncle-Master."

Lu Jin bowed to Si Chong and then followed Jiang Liu.

"Jiang Liu!"

He seemed to shout, "Can you also help me break through to the third level?"

"can."

Jiang Liu stopped and turned back to ask, "But senior, do you think now is the right time?"

"Then let's wait three months!"

"Let's see if I have any free time..."

# Chapter 202 Leaving the Trinity Territory

After descending the mountain.

Jiang Liu did not leave that night, but instead temporarily ordered the Ghost Hand King's opera troupe not to perform outside.

Zuo Ruotong had just been buried, and they naturally had to pay their respects in their own way.

The disciples of the Sanyi Sect, who were secretly observing Jiang Liu and the others, saw that they had stopped performing and were instead planning a new stunt in the courtyard, so they had no suspicions.

But how could they know that Jiang Liu and his men had already packed their bags and were preparing to flee?

In the blink of an eye, another three days have quietly passed.

The disciples of the San Yi Sect, who were monitoring the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe, also relaxed their vigilance. Jiang Liu ordered eight apprentices to go out and purchase medicinal herbs, and announced to the outside world that Wang Yaozu had fallen ill.

"How dare you curse your father like that?"

Wang Yaozu was so angry that his beard stood on end.

"That's a valid reason."

Jiang Liu spoke with utmost seriousness, and then said to the eight apprentices, "That night, Lu Jin, my master, and I will leave this area with our luggage."

As you are ordinary people, once the disciples of the Sanyi Sect learn that you are gathering herbs for Wang Yaozu, they will not pay too much attention to you or take any action against you. Just be bold.
