From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Moreover, Zhang Zhiwei harbored arrogance at this time, and he still couldn't treat those who were inferior to him with a completely normal attitude.

"Have you decided where to go?" Jiang Liu smiled and inquired about Zhang Zhiwei's plans.

"No, how about you point me in the right direction?"

He said he was going down the mountain to gain experience ahead of time, but Zhang Zhiwei really hadn't decided which direction to go or any specific goals besides cultivation.

“Then go to Guangzhou and find a gentleman. He should be in Guangzhou now...maybe? You can protect him and support him on his journey until peace is restored in this world.” Jiang Liu really did choose a path for Zhang Zhiwei.

"possible?"

Zhang Zhiwei raised his eyebrows and grinned, "You had your fortune told?"

"The radiance of the spiritual realm of heaven was also sealed within the body as a deity, which allows one to connect with heaven and earth. This is slightly different from the way sorcerers directly break through shackles and pry out answers by relying on their cultivation. It is based on existing information to simulate the past and deduce the future."

Jiang Liu, having said that, returned to the main point, gave Zhang Zhiwei a thumbs up and said with a smile, "I can only say that if you find that gentleman and follow him on his journey as a wanderer, you might just become the 'Victorious Fighting Buddha'."

"Could that be a monk?"

Zhang Zhiwei was suspicious, "I don't want to abandon Taoism for Buddhism."

“Brother Zhiwei, we both know perfectly well that if that Monkey King cannot become the Victorious Fighting Buddha, he will never be worthy of the title ‘Great Sage Equal to Heaven’.”

Jiang Liu shrugged and said to Zhang Zhiwei, "If you're not going back this time, are you planning to return to Longhu Mountain later?"

“Longhu Mountain is my home.” Zhang Zhiwei stared at Jiang Liu.

"So, you're going to inherit the family business?"

Jiang Liu didn't take it to heart, and instead laughed and teased, "The world is changing, Brother Zhiwei."

That's it.

Even now, you cannot truly understand what I'm saying. After all, though your mind is restless, your will is weak and you lack conviction; therefore, you are not as good as me.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei raised an eyebrow and asked, "Then how can I catch up with you?"

"Let's go to Guangzhou."

Jiang Liu said, “Take both the main road and the side road. Before you reach your destination, if you encounter bandits, kill them all if they deserve to die. If they can still be saved, give them a piece of advice. If they don’t listen, kill them. After you reach your destination, find the gentleman I mentioned and follow him. You will then be able to overcome your own conscience.”

"Alright, I'll trust you this once."

Zhang Zhiwei bid farewell to Jiang Liu and his group, heading west and south towards Guangzhou. Along the way, he encountered many bandits and tyrants, and also wiped out numerous rogue cultivators and members of the Quanxing sect who committed evil deeds. He truly began to understand some of what Jiang Liu had said…

···

"Brother Jiang, you're not trying to scam Zhang Zhiwei, are you?"

Lu Jin looked on with suspicion.

Without him.

The Northern Expedition has already begun. Even if the Northern Expeditionary Army has the ambition to change the world, the territory they have just conquered cannot be restored to peace immediately.

If Zhang Zhiwei goes there, won't he suffer an undeserved disaster?

"Look at what you're saying. I'm not even familiar with Zhang Zhiwei, why would I want to scam him?"

Jiang Liu said righteously, "Going down the mountain was his own choice, and going to the west was also his own choice. I just pointed him in the right direction. Who knows, for some time to come, we might have to call him 'Sir'."

Faced with Jiang Liu's teasing, Lu Jin was full of questions, but he also understood that his brother Jiang would not speak without reason. He thought that Zhang Zhiwei might really go to Guangzhou, become a disciple of "Tang Sanzang", become a "pilgrim", and eventually cultivate his heart to become the "Victorious Fighting Buddha" and the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven".

So he didn't ask any more questions—after all, he wasn't very familiar with Zhang Zhiwei.

thereafter.

Lu Jin inquired about the reason why Jiang Liu had taken the wristwatch from Lu Renjia's wrist.

Jiang Liu took out the Reincarnation Watch, handed it to Lu Jin, and told her, "Don't wear it," before asking, "What can you tell from it?"

"Can't I wear it?"

Lu Jin was puzzled and carefully examined the Reincarnation Wristwatch. He found that it was smooth all over without any gaps, and there was a screen on it with the word "error" on it. He shook his head and said, "The material is very special. Is it some kind of magical artifact?"

"Come with me."

Jiang Liu waved his hand and led Lu Jin into the back hall, also inviting Miss Hong to join them.

Before the two could even ask any questions, he cut to the chase: "Do you still remember Zheng Zha, Chu Xuan, Zhao Yingkong, and the others?"

"Who?"

Red Girl looked puzzled.

Lu Jin looked even more puzzled: "Do we know these people that Brother Jiang mentioned?"

despair!

Jiang Liu did not answer, but snapped his fingers, and the consciousness of the two instantly entered Jiang Liu's mental landscape.

"Is this Brother Jiang's interior?"

Lu Jin immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

Since being granted the title of "Heaven and Earth," Jiang Liu has been able to present his memories in the form of dreamlike images. When Lu Jin and Hong Guniang saw the figures of Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, Chu Xuan, Zhao Yingkong, and others, their consciousness was shaken, and they also remembered their existence.

"They actually altered our memories again?" Lu Jin was incredulous, but also felt a chill of fear. "How did they manage to do that?"

"The question should be, what level has the 'main god' behind them reached!" Because it was Jiang Liu's memory, Hong Guniang also witnessed the process of the "newcomers" being erased by the main god—

His body shattered and then completely dissolved into Qi, leaving not a trace.

What an extraordinary ability this is!

Furthermore, at the very moment Jiang Liu shattered Xiaoqian's core with his final move, Zheng Zha and the others vanished into thin air, and everyone's memories, except for Jiang Liu's, seemed to have been altered—

Amazing!

"There are too many unknowns in this world."

"We don't know what the main god's specific purpose is, but our emotions and thoughts originate from the accumulation of memories. If memories are modified, our cognition will also undergo subtle changes. Therefore, we must guard against it!"

# Chapter 407 Planning Ahead

How to protect yourself from the main god?

This is not a matter for one person or one force.

Therefore.

The Confucian Association needs to further expand its strength and influence, become the leader in the world of supernatural beings, and demystify supernatural beings and their abilities, so that Qi cultivation can one day enter ordinary society and become a part of life.

“This is going to be a long process,” Hong Guniang sighed.

"The road ahead is long and arduous, as it has always been." Jiang Liu gestured to the red girl not to be so pessimistic, "and there's no need to imagine the main god to be too powerful."

If it were truly that powerful, there would be no need for Zheng Zha and his gang.

Just like the ghost realm, the aura—

For ordinary people to enter the ghost realm, they either have to die and have their soul enter, or they have to be impacted by the energy field and have their 'past' severed before they can enter.

In short, we can't enter the Ghost Realm without giving up some things.

The same reason.

I suspect the main god is the same; without sacrificing certain things, it cannot enter our world. That's why it chose to control Zheng Zha and others to accomplish some purpose.

After saying that, the three people's consciousness returned to their bodies, and Jiang Liu took out a dagger from his waist - Zheng Zha's high-vibration particle cutting dagger.

That's right!

Jiang Liu didn't return it!

"A magic weapon?" Lu Jin took it, infused it with Qi, and found that it was not. However, when he pinched the handle, the blade seemed to start vibrating. It was extremely sharp, and with a gentle slide, it cut through the tabletop.

Is this a dagger?

Who would make such a sharp dagger?

Furthermore, Lu Jin could sense a barely perceptible vibration frequency emanating from it... Was it cutting objects using vibration? Unbelievable!

Jiang Liu said seriously, "It's neither a magical artifact from our side nor an alchemical creation from the West. It's just a technological dagger, a technological creation similar to the streetlights in Yuhang City. But as you can imagine, the technology contained in this dagger is many times more advanced than that of the streetlights."

Lu Jin was good at making connections. Recalling what Jiang Liu had said about the Ghost Realm, she suddenly had a horrifying thought: "Brother Jiang, do you mean that the world we live in, in the eyes of the Main God, might be equivalent to our attitude towards Qi Ju and the Ghost Realm?"

"Hmm~ The world may not be the only one."

Jiang Liu took the high-vibration particle cutting dagger, sensed the amplitude of the vibration, and sighed, "Such a weapon cannot be made by magic or alchemy. Moreover, no matter how advanced Western science and technology are, it is impossible to produce such a dagger. Judging from the style of this dagger, it can obviously be mass-produced, rather than a specially made single item."

Lu Jin's eyes narrowed.

Red Girl also clenched her fists.

Cultivation is about cultivating one's character, but if a person's memories can be arbitrarily modified, added to, or deleted by the "main god," then cultivation is a joke!

Memory stimulates emotion, emotion unites spirit, spirit transforms will, and will elevates belief. If the initial memory can be modified, then the so-called belief will also be dominated by the modifier.

Whether from a short-term emotional perspective or a long-term belief perspective, confronting the Supreme God is imperative!

"A spark of inspiration remains forever in the void."

Lu Jin realized the key point.

Only by thoroughly refining the five elements within one's chest, like Jiang Liu, can one truly cultivate a spark of spiritual light that will forever reside in the ancestral aperture, thus ensuring complete clarity of one's consciousness.

"That's right, and it's precisely because you have a ray of light that I replicated that you were able to realize the problem with your memories so quickly."

Jiang Liu reminded him, "Only by mastering the Qimen within your body, positioning all five internal organs in the central palace, and cultivating a spark of spiritual light can you attain freedom."

However, after understanding the cultivation system controlled by Zheng Zha and the others, to cultivate spiritual light, one might still need to understand one's own will and beliefs...

Jiang Liu then explained the concept of gene locks to the two: the first stage grants control over combat instincts, greatly increasing strength; the second stage grants control over over 90% of the body, manipulating energy flow; and the third stage develops the brain and enhances thinking.

"This is somewhat similar to the effect of the Triple Rebirth, except that it cannot be transformed into Qi." Upon hearing about the functions of the first three stages of the gene lock, Lu Jin was surprised to find that the gene lock and the Triple Rebirth were a perfect match.

"As for the fourth level... Zheng Zha and the others don't know, but I speculate that it involves the 'mind' level."

Jiang Liu said, "If the method of reversing life does not follow my nine levels of internal cultivation, perhaps the fourth level can try to explore in this direction."

Following that, Jiang Liu imparted his insights into unlocking the first, second, and even third stages of his gene lock to Lu Jin and Hong Guniang.

The key to unlocking the gene lock lies in allowing brain magnetic fields to flow and permeate the whole body in a special turbulent state, thereby influencing the genes in every cell of the body and fully stimulating the body's potential!
