From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

However, the result this time was not bad, at least it made him realize his shortcomings.

"Old man, were you holding back?"

Li Muxuan looked at Ghost Hand King, wondering if he had hidden the ingenious part of the Eight Directions Reversal.

"You brat, what are you saying? You get what you pay for. I haven't even taught that 'Reversing Heaven and Earth' move to my own son," Wang Yaozu cursed.

"is it?"

Li Muxuan knew that Wang Yaozu was definitely not lying. Lu Jin's Reversal of Eight Directions was the inheritance of Jiang Liu, so it could only be that the other party had applied Reversal of Eight Directions to other levels, such as: internal cultivation similar to the Reverse Life Triple.

But that's their law, and I've always wanted to regain the face I lost after being humiliated, so I'm too embarrassed to ask.

"How could it be fake?"

Wang Yaozu snorted, "But I plan to pass it on to my son later. With my son's talent, you'll never be able to surpass him in your entire life, hehehe."

"Just you wait and see!"

Li Muxuan confidently assured that he was still young, but that he would definitely surpass Jiang Liu when he grew up.

"Really? How about we have a match now?"

Jiang Liu rolled up his sleeves. "I remember you were going to challenge me, weren't you?"

"Who said I was going to challenge you? I never said that!"

Looking at Jiang Liu's fist and palm, which could explode with a crackling sound as he clenched his fist, Li Muxuan's eyelids twitched, and beads of sweat involuntarily seeped out of his forehead. He vehemently denied it.

"Ha ha!"

"This kid's scared!"

Wang Yaozu, not wanting to let things escalate, loudly mocked.

The same was true for the eight apprentices in the opera troupe.

"Li Muxuan was indeed afraid."

"The young master is so powerful, Li Muxuan definitely wouldn't dare."

"Isn't that right?"

"After all, Li Muxuan is the young master, and he cares about his reputation."

"He's definitely afraid of losing and being embarrassed."

"I think so too."

"Maybe it's because they're afraid of pain."

"I thought Young Master Mu Xuan was stubborn, but I didn't expect him to be afraid at times."

The words of Zhao Qian, Qian Dui, Sun Li, Li Zhen, Zhou Xun, Wu Kan, Zheng Gen, and Wang Kun made Li Muxuan blush. He immediately challenged Jiang Liu, saying, "Come on!"

Done.

Li Muxuan shouted, circulating his Qi, his skin turning fair again, and the first level of Reversal of Life was activated once more. He waved his hands, and ten thumb-thick magnetic fields burst forth, like wild snakes writhing, strangling towards Jiang Liu.

"You've certainly got some sharp edges, brother, but you mustn't let your malice show."

As Jiang Liu spoke, he lightly touched the ground with his feet and darted forward. With a series of leaps and turns, he effortlessly avoided the oncoming magnetic field, much like a swimming dragon.

Just as Li Muxuan was about to dodge, he saw a palm covered with a thin layer of human magnetic field coming down on his head.

There's no escaping it!

Li Muxuan's eyes widened, wanting to make a move, but only one thought popped into his mind.

Snapped!

A crisp sound rang out in the open space of the backyard.

Li Muxuan collapsed immediately.

When he groggily got up, his cheeks were already red, his eyes were filled with tears, and his nostrils were running.

"No way? Is the young master of the Li family going to cry?"

Jiang Liu savors the flavor.

"No way!"

Li Muxuan covered his swollen cheek, the burning sensation was extremely uncomfortable, but he still endured it, wiping away his tears and snot, and noted it down in his heart.

I, Li Muxuan, will avenge this!

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Li Muxuan's stubbornness, Wang Yaozu couldn't stand it and burst into laughter.

Lu Jin also suppressed her laughter, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"You little bastard! Lu Jin! You're laughing too!"

Li Muxuan dared not cause trouble for Wang Yaozu, so he could only pick on the easiest target.

Only Lu Jin was the most compliant.

Even so, Lu Jin is not someone Li Muxuan can control at this stage.

Therefore, at this moment, only Li Muxuan was suffering from both physical and mental harm—

It was achieved.

Fortunately, Li Muxuan wasn't the type to cry and run to his parents after being hit; otherwise, if Zuo Ruotong had come and seen his progress, things would have been troublesome...

But how could something that happened within the territory of Sanyi Gate be kept from Zuo Ruotong?

Especially after Li Muxuan returned to the Sanyi Sect, he immediately described in detail his battle with Lu Jin.

This surprised Zuo Ruotong slightly: "Your progress in the first level is gradually catching up with Lu Jin back then, yet you can't beat him and instead had your human magnetic field barrier shattered by him?"

Although Li Muxuan learned the Eight Directions Reversal from Wang Yaozu, because his master was Zuo Ruotong, he often consulted Zuo Ruotong after learning the Eight Directions Reversal and mastering human magnetism.

"Yes, and Lu Jin's state is somewhat like reaching the second level of reverse rebirth, but it is not quite the same as the second level of Senior Brother Chengzhen and Uncle Sichong."

Li Muxuan made no attempt to hide anything, saying, "His skin is just like a normal person's; it hasn't become whiter. Moreover, the overflowing Qi doesn't rise like cooking smoke; instead, it forms a ribbon-like shape and is very thick."

"ribbon?"

Zuo Ruotong was taken aback.

"That's right, it's a ribbon. It's similar to the ribbon that floated behind the deities in the murals I saw when I was six or seven years old, when I went to the temple with my dad to burn incense and pray to Buddha."

Li Muxuan gave an analogy, vividly describing, "At first, I thought he used the inverted eight directions to make his Qi body look like that to scare people, but when we fought, I found out that it was not only decoration, but also part of his own Qi circulation."

His breathing was extremely steady!

The breath is also very long!

It was as if he had inexhaustible strength; when I punched him, it felt like hitting a steel plate, and that steel plate was even elastic, like a drumhead.

As the leader of the Sanyi Sect, Zuo Ruotong knew the Reverse Life Triple Rebirth all too well.

When one cultivates to the second level and reaches a certain degree, when one is emotionally excited and exerts all one's power, there will indeed be some characteristics similar to Qi transformation around the body. However, the kind of overflowing Qi that Li Muxuan described, which forms a shape similar to the ribbons of immortals and gods and participates in the circulation of Qi, is unheard of.

Could it be that the previous method of cultivation, which involved climbing through layers of challenges, was truly the root cause of the imbalance in the body's three gates and nine orifices, leading to the near-death experiences of disciples during their breakthroughs?

At this moment, Zuo Ruotong placed greater emphasis on the concept of simultaneously cultivating three or even nine levels of the Reverse Life Triple Realm.

After all, when it comes to the real thing, the cultivation methods of other esoteric sects are never as dangerous as the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage!

However, he had already traveled a long way on this seemingly endless path of the second level, and he could not stop practicing his internal energy; he had to continue down this path...

# Chapter 42 cannot be revealed to a fourth person.

"Master, when do you think I will be able to surpass Jiang Liu?"

After finishing his report, Li Muxuan inquired about his progress in improving his combat capabilities.

But Zuo Ruotong's face darkened, and he said, "The worst thing in cultivation is to be impatient. The more impatient you are, the harder it will be for you to surpass Jiang Liu."

Li Muxuan naturally understood this principle, but as a young man, he found it difficult to suppress this thought.

Zuo Ruotong understood this, so he told Li Muxuan to visit the library more often in his spare time and asked him to memorize all the scriptures in it within the next four years.

"what?"

Li Muxuan was dumbfounded.

"Not only that, you should also consult with the senior brothers in the sect, especially those who came before you. Learn more about their moves to broaden your knowledge and experience."

But Zuo Ruotong ignored him and kept adding to the story.

That's all.

He then ignored Li Muxuan and went to teach the other disciples.

As the head of the Third Sect, he couldn't afford to give Li Muxuan special treatment; he had to treat all the other disciples equally, even those whose talents weren't as outstanding as Li Muxuan's...

···

On the other hand, Lu Jin remained in the Ghost Hand King's opera troupe.

"Not returning to the Trinity Gate?"

Jiang Liu laughed, "It's getting dark soon."

"Um, regarding the point about establishing the central palace within the body, could you tell the others in the San Yi Sect? I won't reveal the specific cultivation method!"

Lu Jin felt a little uneasy.

Logically speaking, this was a method created by Jiang Liu, and it was his good fortune to pass it on to himself. It would be somewhat unethical to tell others about it.

But people from the Lu family are all loyal and righteous.

After joining the Sanyi Sect, Lu Jin treated all the members of the sect as his own family. He believed that family members could have privacy, but his skills should not be hidden.

For example, that senior brother Zhuge never concealed his knowledge of Wuhou Qimen, and was even willing to contribute all the other theoretical knowledge of Qimen except for the cultivation method of Wuhou Qimen.

The disciples of the Wuhou Sect are similar to, or even more so than, the disciples of the Lu family. Once they join another sect, they will serve that sect wholeheartedly. Even if they face off against their own family in the future, they will show mercy but will not hold back.

Historical records also provide evidence for this. For example, during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Dan, and Zhuge Liang, although the Wuhou School was inherited from Zhuge Liang's lineage, they still retained the investment strategy of not putting all their eggs in one basket, just in case.
