From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Besides, do you really think Fairy Lori will die?

Is she just a little bit innocent?

Even if it possesses what we perceive as a physical body, it only exists in this ghostly realm; in essence, it remains merely a wisp of consciousness.

As for Nie Xiaoqian—”

Jiang Liu watched as Nie Xiaoqian slowly rose and toyed with Zhang Zhiwei with her almost teleportation-like movements, and poured cold water on Zheng Zha's enthusiasm. "Although I think 'Xiaoqian' is a special collective consciousness produced by this Black Mountain, and can be considered a kind of ghost or god, she originally occupied the soul shell of Fairy Loli before she 'ascended' to the Heavenly Palace and became Nie Xiaoqian."

Although the original Nie Xiaoqian was suppressed by Yan Chixia in the southern area, Yan Chixia was wrong. Suppressing Nie Xiaoqian did not mean that he had suppressed 'Xiaoqian'.

Daheishan itself is 'Xiaoqian', and I even have a guess—"

At this point, Jiang Liu paused, focusing his attention on the black-and-white woman and the little woman, and said quietly, "That so-called spiritual realm is very likely just a medium that 'Xiaoqian' uses to manifest her consciousness in the outside world."

The radiance of the two great spiritual realms, Heaven and Earth, whether the foundation of the Heavenly Palace or the Underworld, both originated from the Great Black Mountain, only one was inside and the other outside.

The ability to create a "spiritual realm," similar to a talisman, makes it hard for Jiang Liu not to suspect Xiaoqian's true identity.

"You guessed right!"

The instant Jiang Liu finished speaking, Nie Xiaoqian, who was entangled in a fight with Zhang Zhiwei, appeared in front of Jiang Liu in an instant, standing upside down in mid-air, her face directly opposite Jiang Liu's. "So, here's a reward for you!"

Swish!

Three golden orbs of light instantly appeared around Jiang Liu's neck, pulsating like particles.

With a sharp "ripping" sound, Jiang Liu's head was severed from his neck, and blood splattered across the sky.

"Jiang Liu!"

Zhang Zhiwei was shocked and furious. He was about to unleash his potential and activate the innate Qi within his body when he saw Jiang Liu's entire body disperse into Qi balls, along with the blood, which also transformed into Qi balls and returned to the whole body.

Faced with such a strange opponent, Jiang Liu would not relax at all, even when communicating with Zheng Zha.

The Eight-Nine Cycle Reveals Mysterious Power!

The practice of talismans is entirely at your discretion!

In a short while, the Qi ball re-coalesced into a single entity, transforming into the shape of a river.

"Don't worry, you're not dead, how could I be in trouble?" Jiang Liu gestured for Zhang Zhiwei not to get agitated, then swung his staff, the golden headband on it slamming into Nie Xiaoqian's face as she approached, slamming her hard to the ground.

Jiang Liu also squatted down, channeling his Qi into his strength, penetrating his nine orifices, unleashing a magnetic field, and punching him in the heart.

Boom!

Centered on the landing of the fist, a circular crater with a diameter of over thirty meters and a depth of over five meters was formed.

But Nie Xiaoqian was nowhere to be seen.

"She's there!"

Chu Xuan, having regained some strength, leaned against the ruins of the collapsed Nanwu Temple wall and shouted to Jiang Liu, "Radiance of the Earth's Spiritual Realm!"

as predicted.

Nie Xiaoqian's figure had already appeared beside the black ball of light, and she grabbed it and refined it in an instant!

"I'll do it!"

Just as Jiang Liu crouched slightly, about to start moving, Zheng Zha shouted, gritting his teeth and in his excitement, he forcibly activated the third-tier gene lock, squeezing out all the power in his body. As he ran, he transformed into a streak of blood-red light, creating a sonic boom, "I will make up for the mistakes I made!"

Seeing Zheng Zha dart out, Jiang Liu did not relax.

Zhang Zhiwei, who had already set out, immediately stopped, not daring to confront this guy head-on again—what kind of cultivator would actually use "life" as a means of attack?

However, the power brought by the first three stages of the gene lock is indeed somewhat unorthodox for practitioners who cultivate the orthodox methods, but when combined with Zheng Zha's internal energy and vampire energy, the power that is unleashed is truly terrifying.

Zheng Zha's power at that moment even reached the level of Jiang Liu after he truly used the Dharma Image Seal. The difference was that Jiang Liu could maintain the Dharma Image Seal for a longer period of time after fully using it, while Zheng Zha had only just reached the third level at this stage and only had the power of one strike.

The first strike missed.

He was like fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others.

Nie Xiaoqian could clearly see Zheng Zha's speed, but she didn't dodge. Instead, she used the same trick as before, opening her arms and winking at Zheng Zha: ?(＾＿－?).

But Zheng Zha only hesitated for a moment before accelerating again, his hand erupting with blood flames that instantly pierced Nie Xiaoqian's chest and seized her heart.

In an instant.

Nie Xiaoqian's expression changed from (＾＿－) to (⊙o⊙#), as if she was wondering why Zheng Zha had suddenly become so decisive?

The reason Zheng Zha chose to save her last time was naturally because the three years he spent with Fairy Loli in the mural were not a dream. The tactile sensations were real, which gave Zheng Zha hope and made him unwilling for Fairy Loli to die. Therefore, he was able to unleash his potential, break through the shackles, and reach the third stage of the gene lock.

But this time—

Before this, Jiang Liu had already revealed the truth that Fairy Loli could not be saved, and also revealed that Fairy Loli's essence was a bit of pure consciousness that had "ascended" to the Heavenly Palace.

In addition, the third-order gene lock makes the brain's memory, intelligence, and thinking more agile.

With Jiang Liu's help, Zheng Zha came to terms with reality and realized that Fairy Loli was beyond saving and had become the "Nie Xiaoqian" before him, while Loli was still in the Main God Space!

He cannot stay here!

And in front of him was Nie Xiaoqian, who used her "Lolita" appearance to deceive him.

Whether it was for Fairy Lori's liberation, or for him and his teammates to successfully return to the Main God Space and avoid being erased by the Main God—

They must all die!

"I was a little surprised too."

Zheng Zha's sudden change in attitude also surprised Zhang Zhiwei.

Zheng Zha, who previously unleashed unimaginable power to protect the fairy, is now surprisingly ruthless...

One second he's swayed by emotions, the next he's dominated by reason—

What kind of kung fu is the other party practicing?

Bizarre!

However, what surprised him even more was the power that Zheng Zha was displaying at this moment.

If this were happening outside, he felt that Zheng Zha's attack could destroy a small hill!

How did he manage to mobilize and unleash all his strength?

He doesn't seem like a proper cultivator; his control over Qi isn't precise!

Even if those extraordinary people who practice martial arts cultivate their strength and condense it into a single point, they could never achieve this level of explosive effect!

However, Jiang Liu had a good understanding of the Gene Lock system and had some insights into the third stage of the Gene Lock. It was said to develop the brain domain, but in reality, it was about coordinating all the functions of the brain and perfectly integrating the power one possesses, so that the efficiency of using all one's skills could reach a level that was unimaginable to ordinary people.

It's just that Zheng Zha wasn't in good condition; otherwise, he could have unleashed even greater power, and there was even a real chance that he could shake a mountain over 500 meters high.

As for Zheng Zha's change of attitude—

As a reincarnator, one is not in control of one's own destiny and can only make choices amidst the struggle.

After all, he is the captain of the Central Continent team.

# Chapter 380 Shift of Atmosphere

Hiss!

Grabbing Nie Xiaoqian's heart, Zheng Zha yanked it out, then with a slight force—

Snapped!

Then the heart shattered into pieces!

"sorry!"

Zheng Zha deactivated his gene lock, exhausting all his internal energy and vampire energy. With his internal circulation disrupted, the side effects of the first and second stages of the gene lock caused Zheng Zha's muscles to tremble, and he collapsed to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.

Fortunately, the activation of the third-order gene lock had few side effects, only causing Zheng Zha's spirit to weaken slightly; otherwise, he would have truly died.

After Zheng Zha fell, Nie Xiaoqian also fell, and a fist-sized black ball of light slowly emerged from her body.

"Is it over?"

Chu Xuan got up, coughed twice, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and asked Jiang Liu.

"should···"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Liu immediately turned his head, because he sensed that the atmosphere of Daheishan Mountain had suddenly changed.

A white dot appeared at the center of the black orb of light, then suddenly expanded, turning the black orb into a white orb of light.

In an instant.

Thousands of white mists and countless rays of light illuminated the entire Black Mountain as bright as day.

Jiang Liu suddenly realized that the surrounding atmosphere had changed. His supernatural power was no longer dissipating quickly, and the light emitted by the white ball of light seemed to have the effect of purifying the primordial spirit, allowing people to abandon distracting thoughts.

This is not a good time to cleanse your "spirit"!

If one's mind is clear and pure during cultivation, one can achieve twice the result with half the effort. However, the current situation is uncertain. If all thoughts in one's mind are reduced to nothingness, leaving only "purity," there is a risk of being ambushed by "Xiaoqian."

Nie Xiaoqian was killed by Zheng Zha, but that doesn't mean "Xiaoqian" is also dead.

therefore.

With the five spirits within him, the Wood Mother stirred, restraining the mind's horse and causing Jiang Liu's primordial spirit to surface with a series of distracting thoughts, which snapped him out of his daze and made him raise his hand to slap Zhang Zhiwei twice.

clap clap!

A crisp sound echoed throughout the mountaintop!

The burning pain brought Zhang Zhiwei back to his senses. Ignoring the two slaps Jiang Liu had given him, he felt a wave of fear and blurted out in his Jiangxi dialect, "Damn it! Master isn't always right! A 'pure' primordial spirit isn't good either! I almost became a clay statue in a temple!"

hum-

At this moment, Mount Daheishan is shaking, constantly softening, sinking, and collapsing, but the Nanwu Temple, which collapsed due to the previous disturbance, is slowly being repaired.

A white dot appeared in Zhang Zhiwei's palm, releasing hundreds of white arcs of electricity that coiled around the white ball of light, but they simply passed through it: "It's not a physical entity! Nor is it something made of Qi!"

"It should be the so-called radiance of the spiritual realm of heaven, formed from the condensed thoughts of the lonely ghosts and spirits within this Great Black Mountain who yearn for liberation... the light of their thoughts."

As the saying goes:

Electrons outside the atomic nucleus rotate, and energy level transitions are gradual.
