From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Lu Jin agreed, and with a flash, jumped into the alley. He and Hong Guniang continued to monitor Smith and Stephen Whitey's every move, and used their mental energy to scan for possible locations where the antidote might exist.

thereafter.

Jiang Liu used his mental power to sense the movements of Zhang Zhiwei, Ru Song, and the others. He noticed that Zhang Zhiwei had entered the Lanruo Temple's grounds and disappeared in a flash. Jiang Liu then jumped down from the eaves and returned to the council hall.

Zheng Zha and the others were familiarizing themselves with their enhanced powers and skills on the streets outside.

Zhao Yingkong was the first to notice Jiang Liu, who was deliberately revealing himself, followed by Chu Xuan, then Zhan Lan, then Zhang Jie, and finally Zheng Zha and the rest.

"Training time is over, time to move out. One of my rivals and friends has entered the Ghost Realm and disappeared from reality. I need to go and check on him."

Jiang Liu explained the situation.

"I just sensed fluctuations in mental energy scanning. Were you using mental energy detection?" Zhan Lan asked, voicing her doubts.

"it's me."

Jiang Liu nodded. "I have to say, this ability is very practical. Neither Eastern Qi cultivation nor Western alchemy ever thought that spiritual power could be used so conveniently... If some of the experts in the Quanzhen lineage who spent most of their lives cultivating Yang Shen and could travel the world in spirit knew about this, they would probably be extremely envious."

of course!

That's a joke!

The cultivation of the Yang Spirit is a manifestation of the "nature" in one's life reaching a profound state, and it is not merely for the purpose of gathering intelligence.

However, in terms of practicality, mental energy scanning is much more convenient...

"Can you learn our enhanced exchange method?"

Zhao Yingkong asked.

"Didn't I tell you before? The key to cultivation lies in life and health. To break it down further, it's nothing more than three categories: essence, energy, and spirit."

Jiang Liu casually said, "Understanding the key to cultivating one's nature and destiny, constructing a system for circulating Qi throughout the body, and using the human body as a metaphor for heaven and earth in cultivation, one can naturally embrace all things and be magnanimous."

This is also the key to truly taking control of one's own destiny.

on the contrary--

If one relies entirely on what others bestow upon them, without understanding the fundamentals of spiritual practice, then it is understandable to be led by the nose by others… The ultimate truth of life that you realize may originate from your own hearts, but it is also a shared result of the guidance of others.”

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses.

Zhao Yingkong frowned, but simply remembered these words.

Zhan Lan seemed to be deep in thought.

Zhang Jie opened his mouth, but hesitated, looking somewhat doubtful of life, unable to imagine that a "native" could possess such wisdom.

He remained expressionless at midnight.

Zheng Zha was somewhat bewildered, not understanding why Jiang Liu suddenly started talking about profound philosophical principles.

As for the remaining four, Qi Tengyi, Arno, Lu Renjia, and Zheng Zha are in similar situations.

"Alright, enough of this small talk. Now we're going to explore the Ghost Realm. Anyone who wants to stay, please step forward," Jiang Liu said.

No one stepped forward.

The one-kilometer limit has not yet been lifted. Anyone who exceeds one kilometer of the river will be blown into the sky with a "boom" and die without leaving a trace.

How could they dare to stay?

"Great! You all have a lot of energy!"

Jiang Liu put his hands behind his back, straightened his posture, and said solemnly like an instructor, "Master Lu once said: A true warrior dares to face the bleakness of life and dares to look directly at the dripping blood!"

You're all great!

Zheng Zha scratched his head, glanced at his companion beside him, and an awkward look appeared in his eyes—

In truth, all nine of them, including Chu Xuan, could do the latter to some extent, but none of them could do the former. Otherwise, why would they have received the "invitation" from the main god?

"set off!"

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Liu left behind a blur as he ran towards the northern mountains.

"Running away again?"

Lu Renjia complained, "And you're running so fast?"

"go!"

Zheng Zha didn't waste any words. He simply said something and chased after them. Even without using the "Dean Dai Talisman," his speed was far greater than before.

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses, glanced at Lu Renjia, and followed closely behind Zheng Zha.

The others followed suit one by one.

Even Qi Tengyi was desperately following behind Chu Xuan's baby-making Arno to prevent himself from falling behind.

Damn it!

Lu Renjia clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth as he activated Dean Dai's talisman and followed closely behind, not daring to risk his life...

···

Three minutes later, led by Jiang Liudi, the group had run ten kilometers. Except for Qi Tengyi and Lu Renjia, who were panting heavily, the rest of them were in good condition. Only Zhan Lan, whose physical condition was the weakest among the senior members of the Zhongzhou team, was slightly unsteady on her feet.

"Having mastered the Small Heavenly Circuit technique, my strength has improved so much, especially my stamina, which is several times stronger than before, and even my recovery from exhaustion is extremely fast." After stopping, Zheng Zha felt his exhaustion. With each breath, the physical strength and internal energy consumed during the journey were rapidly recovering, which was simply incredible.

It turns out that having qigong skills or internal energy doesn't make you a master!

Only those who understand cultivation and achieve complete circulation of Qi can become true masters!

"To be honest, it's truly bizarre that you've had such a situation before. Possessing thirty to fifty years of internal energy, yet not even having completed the Small Heavenly Circuit—it's unheard of." Jiang Liu remarked, then gestured for everyone to focus and not stray from the path—

The energy formations ahead converge, but they are constantly changing. The closer one gets to the original site of Lanruo Temple at the bottom of the valley, the more complex the flow of energy becomes.

Therefore, Jiang Liu, relying on the perception of the Dharma Image Seal, observed the flow of energy and had Zheng Zha and the others line up in a long snake formation behind him: "When you move forward, you must walk behind me and not more than three meters to the left or right. Otherwise, your own energy will be affected by the energy of this place, causing your destiny line to break, losing the past and the future, which will affect the stability of your current life. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

Everyone understood the concept of the aura and dared not be careless.

Zhao Yingkong asked, "If one's own aura is affected, can it be restored after adjustment?"

“Theoretically, it is possible, but only in theory. Things in the world seem constant, but in reality, they are in constant flux, flowing in places invisible to the human eye. Even a stone is not a static entity. The moment fate breaks, all the information of the past is scattered by the energy of heaven and earth. How would you possibly continue?”

As Jiang Liu walked, he answered, "Unless your mind, or with the help of some magical artifact, can clearly simulate the rhythm and laws of the entire world, only in this way can we find that your fate line has been severed and find a way to reconnect it."

Indeed, the nature of the world may seem constant, but it is in perpetual motion.

Chu Xuan nodded, finding this Qi Refining system quite scientific. "If we consider a person as a collection of information from the past, present, and future, when the information from the past is disconnected from the present, it will naturally be dispersed by the information in the universe..."

According to this theory, reclaiming the past isn't as simple as just taking it back; it requires painstakingly retrieving information from the vast 'information database' of the universe and piecing it back together...

"Finding a needle in a haystack" doesn't even begin to describe the difficulty; it's comparable to dropping a needle into the entire universe and then finding and piecing back together the scattered atomic units of that needle amidst the vast sea of ​​stars.

"This is outrageous?" Zheng Zha, who knew the concept of "atom," was dumbfounded.

"The wisdom of mortals."

Chu Xuan said his favorite saying, "Including the universe, within a second, particles at the microscopic level undergo countless infinite cubic fluctuations. If the information about a person's existence in the world is lost from the past and the present, only an omniscient and omnipotent being can retrieve it."

"And the Supreme God... at the moment we choose 'yes,' our past and present destiny may have already been fixed."

"This might be a good thing—"

Only when the thread of fate is fixed can Chu Xuan ensure that any individuals who might be resurrected after death in the future will not be clones of himself...

"In other words, if the fate line is broken, you will definitely die, without exception?" Zhan Lan's body trembled slightly, feeling uneasy, and she walked even more cautiously.

"Who doesn't die?"

Jiang Liu countered, "However, your fate line is slightly broken, which is like having your name crossed out in the Book of Life and Death by the King of Hell. You probably won't live to see the end of your natural life. But generally speaking, as long as you are always on guard and careful of accidents, you can still prolong your life. Your fate line doesn't account for much of the whole world. God doesn't have the time to waste so much energy on you. As long as you relax one day, you will die in an accident."

In short, the past lifeline has been severed. You can live, but you need to be extremely careful and constantly maintain mental vigilance.

"I see." Chu Xuan understood. If the universe is likened to a supercomputer, then people whose fate lines have been severed are like bugs in the program that need to be fixed.

However, as long as this bug does not affect the normal operation of the program, it will not be deliberately targeted.

But a bug is still a bug, and no reputable software company would ignore it; instead, they would try their best to fix it without affecting the overall functionality.

# Chapter 339 Cutting Off the Past!

"In fact, I speculate that there is another way to avoid dying after one's own destiny line is broken, and also to avoid being targeted by heaven and earth."

Jiang Liu was enticing the members of the Zhongzhou team.

"What is it?"

As expected, Zhan Lan took the bait.

Zheng Zha knew that Jiang Liu definitely wanted them to experiment with something, but since they didn't know the plot yet, they decided to listen to Jiang Liu's ideas.

Besides, he was also curious.

“When one cultivates to the point of being ‘beyond the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements,’ one naturally breaks free from the constraints of the natural laws of the universe.” Jiang Liu smiled.

Zhongzhou Team and others: "......"

"Hey!"

Just then, Jiang Liu heard a startled cry from behind him, and then noticed a ripple in the surrounding space, as if spatial folds had formed. His expression changed.

In that instant, the circulation of Qi within his body suddenly stopped for a moment, and he felt disconnected from the world for a split second!

After that, the surrounding atmosphere also trembled slightly... Although he could still sense everything in the world, he had a vague feeling that something was missing.

In the line behind him, Lu Renjia suddenly fell and rolled to the side, crying out in pain. He then yelled at Qi Teng behind him, "Why did you push me?"

"I didn't push you!"

Qi Tengyi immediately denied it, "It was your own carelessness that caused you to trip and fall; it has nothing to do with me!"

The group lined up in a long, single-file formation. To ensure safety, it was impossible to leave the two weakest newcomers at the back. Instead, Chu Xuan's progenitor, Arno, was placed at the very back.

"Arno".
