From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"It's the Green Snake Lady and the White Snake Lady!"

How could the people of Yuhang not know the Legend of the White Snake?

Upon seeing the green and white snakes bursting forth from Jiang Liu's body, they gasped in astonishment and knelt down in shock.

Pay homage to the river?

Not also!

They worship the two snakes, one blue and one white, that had taken human form!

The green snake soared and the white snake took flight. When they encountered the lightning emitted by Zhang Zhiwei's thunder python, the green snake roared, its head transformed into a dragon, and two claws sprouted from its belly, bursting forth with fire. The white snake howled, its belly sprouted four claws, and a single horn grew from its head, unleashing thunder.

Amidst the gasps of the crowd, what they saw was:

The green snake transforms into a dragon, eight zhang long; the white snake transforms into a dragon, nine zhang long.

The dragons roared and circled, while eight or nine mysterious fires and thunders burst forth.

The azure dragon roared, its claws piercing the thunder python's body; the white dragon howled, biting the thunder python's neck; as the two coiled together, their combined strength erupted, tearing the thunder python to pieces.

It can be described as a snake transforming into a dragon, soaring through the sky—

Jiang Liu... he really knows how to perform "magic tricks"!

A thought inexplicably popped into Zhang Zhiwei's head.

boom!

The Qi energy erupted! The lightning magic shattered!

An invisible wave suddenly appeared in mid-air, spreading outwards, startling the people on the shore of West Lake and shocking the strange people who were watching nearby.

As the mist in mid-air dissipated, a figure descended from the sky.

Jiang Liu withdrew from the state of holding the Dharma image seal, and the water lotus beneath him returned to its original source in West Lake with a "splash".

He casually took two steps, as if shrinking the distance to an inch, and arrived at the spot where Zhang Zhiwei had landed, extending his hand.

Snapped!

He caught Zhang Zhiwei, who was exhausted of his Qi, whose Taoist robes were torn, and whose face was pale.

"It seems I've won, Brother Zhiwei!"

Jiang Liu grinned when he saw that the man was still conscious, but had no energy left in his body.

Zhang Zhiwei: "..."

He doesn't even have the strength to speak now.

Then, Jiang Liu was enveloped in a layer of magnetic energy, leaped up, and transformed into a white streak of light, returning to the arena on Sunset Mountain.

Most of the people below the arena went to the West Lake to watch the battle between Jiang Liu and Zhang Zhiwei, so how could they possibly return so quickly?

However, there were people around the arena.

chameleon.

As the referee and emcee, and having been repeatedly frightened by Jiang Liu and Zhang Zhiwei before the battle began, plus with the crowd already surging to the lakeside and unable to squeeze through, he could only stay near the arena.

"We can now announce the winner of this martial arts tournament, Mr. Chameleon."

Faced with Jiang Liu's ambiguous smile, the chameleon knew that the other party had been poisoned, and his heart was still filled with fear.

There is such a powerful being among the extraordinary beings!

This moment!

The chameleon even doubted whether the "poison" would actually have any effect on Jiang Liu...

"Mr. Chameleon?"

Seeing him in a daze, Jiang Liu spoke again, "Do I need to remind you a third time?"

You're number one!

Chameleon, disregarding the slightly sarcastic title "Mr. Chameleon," hastily announced that Jiang Liu was number one.

"In that case, hurry up and bring the prize for first place." Jiang Liu waved his hand.

The chameleon's expression changed, and he hurriedly ordered the nearby soldiers to bring over the first, second, and third prizes.

at this time.

Zhang Zhiwei regained some strength and managed to sit up.

"Wow, not bad at all. As expected of Brother Zhiwei, who is naturally blessed with abundant energy and a steadfast mind, you recover very quickly." Jiang Liu teased, "Without meditating or regulating your breathing, you've already recovered some of your Qi in just this short time."

"Unlike you, who can recover quickly as long as you can breathe normally."

Zhang Zhiwei rubbed his neck, staggered to his feet, and stretched his shoulders before asking, "Was that your full-power move just now? Even my master might not be a match for you, right?"

"Be more confident, drop the 'maybe'." Jiang Liu grinned, and seeing Lu Jin and the others running up from the foot of the mountain, he told Zhang Zhiwei about the San Yi Sect, "Do you know how the Left Sect Leader of the San Yi Sect died?"

"You did it?" Zhang Zhiwei was surprised, but only for a moment, because if Jiang Liu really killed Zuo Ruotong, Senior Si Chong of the Sanyi Sect would have to fight Jiang Liu to the death.

"He borrowed my power to break through the third level, only to find that the third level was not a gateway to heaven. He died to prove his point, hoping that the disciples of the Three Ones could change things..." Jiang Liu did not hide anything.

"I think so too."

Zhang Zhiwei was not surprised that the Reverse Life Triple Technique could not reach the Heavenly Realm, but he was surprised that Zuo Ruotong had such a magnanimous heart!

However, the disciples of Trinity are mostly—

"You guessed right. Currently, only Lu Jin is willing to follow me to learn the Ninefold Reverse Life. The others are unwilling to believe that the Third Level cannot lead to the Heavenly Realm, or they are willing to immerse themselves in the grand dream of the Three Ones."

Jiang Liu sighed softly, revealing Zhang Zhiwei's thoughts, "You know, even among the disciples of Taoism and Buddhism, not all of them think about breaking through in cultivation. Most people are content with just achieving that carefree state. There aren't many like you and me who would pursue reaching the heavens or even higher realms."

Zhang Zhiwei asked in surprise: "Then isn't your Confucianism philosophy in conflict with your spiritual practice?"

Where is the conflict?

Jiang Liu countered, "If I were alone, no matter how much energy I had, I couldn't learn all the laws in the world. Many hands make light work."

# Chapter 315 Before Departure

"Brother Jiang!"

Lu Jin ran to the front of the arena, "What just happened—"

"Hmm, it's similar to the situation when dealing with the Leifeng Pagoda problem, but doing this in reality is quite taxing on me. Three minutes have passed, and my depleted Qi hasn't fully recovered yet." Jiang Liu stated a fact that left everyone speechless, speaking in the tone of Versailles.

Zhang Zhiwei rolled his eyes repeatedly.

"Chameleons, when do we meet?"

Afterwards, Jiang Liu asked the chameleon about the time he was going to Jinhua, "and also tell me the location."

"Meet at the south gate at four o'clock in the afternoon."

The chameleon swallowed hard, somewhat apprehensive.

Jiang Liu grunted in agreement and said to Zhang Zhiwei, "Alright, Brother Zhiwei, see you this afternoon... By the way, would you like me to keep your second-place prize of five thousand silver dollars for you?"

"Screw you!"

Zhang Zhiwei looked disgusted. "I'll have my junior brother send it back to the Celestial Master's Mansion. That way, I can pay back all the money I owe him these past few days."

Just then, Zhang Huaiyi ran back and heard this. He was deeply moved and said, "Senior brother, I knew you would pay me back!"

"...Now I'm starting to regret it a bit," Zhang Zhiwei said helplessly.

"See you later."

Seeing that the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe had all returned, Jiang Liu called out to them, took the ten thousand silver dollars, and went down the mountain from the nearby woods back to the Cai Opera Troupe.

Lu Jin was also carrying his cousin Lu Mingfei.

After having lunch together, the group headed to the Confucian Association.

Inside the cultural street.

Because of Jiang Liu's extraordinary strength, the people of the city spread the word quickly, flocking to the cultural street, hoping to catch a glimpse of the "immortal" and receive some good fortune.

Fortunately, everyone was skilled, capable of scaling walls and rooftops with ease, and they easily evaded the sight of the city's residents, successfully entering the Confucian Association.

"Brother Jiang, you're famous now!" Lu Jin teased.

"It's certainly a bit troublesome in the short term, but that's not all—"

Jiang Liu smiled and said, "We are setting off for Jinhua this afternoon to explore Lanruo Temple. This will give us a chance to get away for a while and calm the restless hearts of the people in the city."

Enter the conference room.

The rest of the Confucian Society members were already waiting there.

Jiang Liu didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, saying, "Although the real purpose of that smiling tiger was beyond all our expectations, the martial arts tournament still played a significant role in promoting the development of the Confucianism Association's ideals."

Lu Mingfei, for the foreseeable future, I would appreciate it if you could report more on Qi cultivation and supernatural beings, so as to dispel the fear and dread that ordinary people have of supernatural beings.

My duel with Zhang Zhiwei atop West Lake was a decent start... Titles like immortals and Buddhas are empty words, but at least they can make ordinary people feel good about extraordinary people.

Of course, it's still important to distinguish between good and evil.

We'll sort this out slowly later...

"understand!"

Lu Mingfei nodded vigorously.

to be frank.

Judging from the abilities Jiang Liu displayed on West Lake, he was no less than a deity or Buddha. Even though Jiang Liu had studied Western science, he still felt a genuine sense of admiration for him.

"As for the others, their main task is to do their own job well and, incidentally, establish a truly standardized Nadutong security team to maintain order on Cultural Street. Cultural Street will be very 'lively' in the near future."

"You can take action against anyone, whether they are extraordinary or ordinary, as long as they commit crimes."

Jiang Liu brought up the matter of the All-Knowing Security Team, "However, we can handle the superhumans ourselves, but as for ordinary people, once we catch them, we'll hand them over to the detective team."

At this moment, Lu Mingfei raised his hand and voiced his objection: "Since we treat everyone equally, shouldn't we hand over any mistakes made by the supernatural beings to the detective team?"

"This is the normal situation, but do you think it's normal for Yuhang to be ruled by a smiling tiger at this stage?"
