From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

The Five Elements Elixir Formation Method shares the same origin as Jiang Liu's Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and Dharma Image Talisman Seal Techniques. It can even be said to be a low-end version of the combination of these two techniques. It also involves the methods of human magnetism and Qi transformation. In addition, Zhao Yingkong's predecessor, that main personality, had already reached the level of the fourth-order gene lock. Now that Zhao Yingkong is gradually recognizing herself, she is simply getting used to her original power.

The fundamental reason why the main personality fell into a deep sleep and, through a series of coincidences, created the current alternate personality, Zhao Yingkong, was to escape reality.

Having inherited the memories and hatred of the original personality, Zhao Yingkong's false identity was exposed by Jiang Liu, and she acknowledged her current self, wanting to "transform the false into the real"!

And Zhao Zhuikong was her whetstone!

With the breakthrough of the gene lock, reaching the fourth stage, Zhao Yingkong let out a loud shout, like a fledgling eagle hatching from its shell, tender yet strong.

The pink halo that filled the sky cracked, and when the wind blew, it scattered into cherry blossoms that drifted down slowly, surrounding her and continuously attaching to her body to form a set of chainmail that fit her body perfectly. The remaining part condensed at the two ends of the staff in her hand, adding a touch of pink halo to the golden headband.

"The Light of the Soul!"

Zhao Zhuikong never expected that a secondary personality would awaken the Light of the Mind and complete personalization at the early stage of the fourth tier, forming its own unique abilities.

Zhao Yingkong opened her eyes, her pupils turning a faint pink. She had complete control over her body's power, took a few quick steps, and moved with the flow of her body, her staff dancing as she pleased.

The blow was simple and unadorned, without stirring up any air currents. It seemed eternal, yet also fleeting. In a single thought, no matter how Zhao Zhuikong dodged, he was hit by the blow, his shoulder shattered.

"cough!"

Zhao Zhuikong coughed up blood, took a step back, and his figure instantly retreated, only to see nine Xuanlong scales shooting towards him.

Ding!

The Vampire's Touch activated, deflecting six of the scales, but three of them pierced his right arm. Before he could make any further moves, the hidden threads behind these three Xuanlong scales became entangled with a pink halo.

With a flick, his entire right arm was bound; with a pull, the hidden thread tore through his sleeve and cut into his flesh and bones; with a tug, his right arm shattered into several pieces, falling to the ground with a "crackling" sound.

With a flick, a pull, and a tug, Zhao Yingkong crippled Zhao Zhuikong's right arm.

It's sizzling!

Zhao Ying raised her left arm, retracted the Hidden Line and the Mysterious Dragon Scale, then changed her breathing and disappeared. This was the Illusionary Body Barrier!

Having cultivated the Five Elements Elixir Formation Method, Zhao Yingkong's aura has always maintained a long-term connection with heaven and earth. If one does not look with the eyes, one cannot perceive its existence at all. Now, having used the Whirlwind Step and Illusionary Body Barrier, it is as if she has entered another dimension, causing Zhao Yingkong to be fully alert!

# Chapter 523 Gene Lock Level 4

Breaking through to the fourth level of the gene lock, being able to locate objects by sound, move with the wind, and know the cicadas' scent in autumn is all too easy. However, due to the special nature of Qi refining, and the fact that Zhao Yingkong was also an assassin, after mastering the Whirlwind Step and Illusionary Body Barrier, she integrated the inherent energy of the Five Elements Core Formation Method into nature—

Zhao Zhuikong could only barely determine Zhao Yingkong's approximate location by relying on his extraordinary spatial talent.

[Over here!]

"cough!"

Just as he was about to cross space again, he suddenly coughed up blood, his meridians and nerves all cracked, and his internal organs were in turmoil.

He was poisoned by the Dan Shi!

Unlike the tangible and substantial Dan Shi of the Tang Sect, Zhao Yingkong cultivates the Five Elements to form a Dan. Dan Shi is a stream of Qi, formless and intangible, undetectable and elusive. If an ordinary person inhales it, it can take effect with just a thought from her, causing the person who is poisoned by Dan Shi to die without a burial place!

However, Zhao Zhuikong is no ordinary person. He has unlocked the fourth stage of the gene lock and has already mastered the essence of life. He can use his life force to destroy the Dan Shi Qi in his body.

But this will definitely distract him for a moment.

In that instant, Zhao Yingkong charged at Zhao Zhuikong, her pink chainmail armor converging into a staff in her palm, condensing into a spearhead, which she then thrust straight at his heart.

Zhao Yingkong's reaction was also incredibly fast. She unleashed the Vampire Touch, combining it with the spatial power carried by her Inch Step, and created a blood-red light blade that collided with the pink, sharp spearhead!

The clash of spiritual light had a greater impact on the spirits and minds of both parties. Zhao Zhuikong should have had the advantage, but he was suffering from Dan Shi and had to endure the pain. He couldn't focus on detoxifying while fighting Zhao Yingkong, and Zhao Yingkong had an advantage over Zhao Zhuikong.

A spot of light!

Jiang Liu gave her a spark of light to connect with himself and stabilize his spirit!

With this light protecting his primordial spirit, he spontaneously connected with Jiang Liu's sincere spiritual light. Compared to that sincere spiritual light, Zhao Zhuikong's spiritual light was nothing more than comparing the light of a firefly to the brightness of the moon. How presumptuous of him!

therefore!

It lasted less than half a second before Zhao Yingkong's pink spearhead pierced through Zhao Zhuikong's chest. Immediately, a shower of cherry blossoms burst forth from his back, carrying a mist of blood, shattering Zhao Zhuikong's left chest and a small portion of his waist. The rest of his body was also thrown out by the cherry blossom-like light, affecting most of the market and turning it into fragments. The aftershocks extended more than two hundred meters away.

Fortunately, because of the commotion earlier, everyone in the market had already fled.

Otherwise, Zhao Yingkong's attack would have caused countless casualties.

"Isn't her fighting power a bit too exaggerated?"

Duanmu Ying stared in disbelief at the market that had been completely reduced to ruins.

"Even someone with extraordinary abilities couldn't possibly have this much destructive power, right?"

But once the gene lock is unlocked, one can actually possess such immense power!

simply!

This is absolutely ridiculous!

There must be basic principles to follow when practicing Qi cultivation, right?

Where does she get so much energy for him to squander?

But only Jiang Liu knew that the greatest use of the first three stages of the gene lock was to fully develop, integrate, and utilize one's own power.

The fourth stage involves not only the essence of genes, but also the spiritual and mental aspects.

With that point of light, Jiang Liu gained a more than 90% understanding of Zhao Yingkong's breakthrough process: feeling and engraving memories, memories giving birth to thoughts, thoughts generating consciousness, and after reaching this stage, consciousness and brain combine to give birth to the primordial spirit!

That's right!

The brain is the primordial spirit, but a brain with consciousness is a truly perfect primordial spirit!

The essence of the gene lock system is to give birth to this ray of spiritual light!

In Jiang Liu's view, the first three stages of gene locking are nothing more than trying to stimulate potential, making one's consciousness and brain completely overlap, so as to have 100% control over all the potential of the body in order to achieve a true primordial spirit!

Upon reaching this stage, the primordial spirit begins to think, thinking gives birth to ideas, ideas condense into the spirit, and the spirit undergoes further transformation, which is what is known as the light of the soul.

The light of the mind combines with the primordial spirit, and based on the fundamental thoughts and ideas of the primordial spirit, it evolves into abilities based on one's own obsessions and beliefs.

However, according to Jiang Liu's judgment, if the thoughts generated by the primordial spirit are too complicated or chaotic during the process of giving birth to the light of the soul, there is a chance that it will affect the consciousness of the primordial spirit and thus fall into demonic possession.

That is, inner demons.

Zhao Zhuikong was like that; he failed to overcome his inner demons and his mental state was somewhat abnormal, but he still retained a degree of rationality.

Having reached the fourth level, he unified the power of his entire body, but ultimately he was outmatched. He was no match for the spiritual light unleashed by Zhao Yingkong, who had developed a true self-awareness under Jiang Liu's influence, and his body was shattered, nearly half of it broken.

Zhao Yingkong, who unleashed this move, could not hold on and fell straight down. However, a pair of strong hands supported her neck and lower back, actively assisting her in circulating her Qi.

Half an hour had passed, and Zhao Yingkong was still asleep, showing no signs of waking up.

"Breathing normally, physically depleted, but frighteningly strong! He's almost not human!"

Duanmu Ying took Zhao Yingkong's pulse, and then examined Zhao Yingkong's body with her hands.

Pinch it on the left, rub it on the right, touch it from above, and grab it from below.

The more familiar you are with it, the more shocked you become!

The more he touched it, the more horrified he became!

Ultimately, she made her own judgment—not human!

"Let her rest for a while."

Through the connection between the light spot and the sincere spiritual light, Jiang Liu sensed that the main personality within Zhao Yingkong had awakened. Zhao Yingkong herself had fallen into the deepest part of her subconscious, into her unique inner mental landscape, to confront another version of herself...

···

"That guy named Zhao Yingkong is terrifying!"

Outside the market.

Isaac, Hermione, and Ron witnessed the entire battle between Zhao Yingkong and Zhao Zhuikong. The clash of speed and power was secondary; in the end, the power unleashed by Zhao Yingkong actually spread over a range of hundreds of meters, destroying most of the market!

Is that really the power that humans can unleash?

"Besides Jiang Liu, there's actually such a powerful magician in the East!"

Ron smacked his lips, his body trembling involuntarily. "That's terrifying!"

"It's truly terrifying."

At this moment, Isaac Taber's worldview collapsed once again. He had thought Jiang Liu was an unparalleled genius from the East, but now it seemed that he was just a frog in a well with a limited perspective.

In that distant and vast land of the East, there are countless talented and extraordinary people, who are absolutely no weaker than those in the West, and may even be stronger!

It's just that the world of ordinary people in the East is far behind that of the West!

Eastern Eccentrics—

They are definitely a group that Western magicians and alchemists should be wary of!

“Hermione, can you replicate that woman’s abilities?” Isaac asked.

"I'm afraid that won't work."

Even disregarding the fact that her "replication" requires physical contact with the other person, the sheer power of that ability proves that its underlying principles are extremely complex.

Even if it could be replicated, if she were to use it, she probably wouldn't last even a second, and her internal power would be drained in an instant!

"Forget it then. Even if the ability is powerful, it's not good if you can't use it. It would also waste a slot for a replica, it's not worth it..."

# Chapter 524 The Tribulation of Inner Demons (Part 1)

Jiang Liu noticed Isaac and the others, but didn't say anything. He simply carried Zhao Yingkong on his back, ignoring Zhao Zhuikong, whose body was half-broken.

Energy cannot be generated out of thin air. With nearly half of his body broken, even if he had unlocked the fourth stage of the gene lock, he could not possibly survive.

If he survives—

That means Zhao Yingkong has to figure out the cause and effect; his master won't interfere.

Therefore, Jiang Liu only used his magnetic field to take away the vampire's touch from his hand, as well as an earring that he always carried with him. Below the earring was a yellow bead the size of a fingernail, which seemed to be engraved with extremely complex runes.

In addition, Jiang Liu also found a Buddha wheel left behind by the captain of the Indian team in the ruins of the market, namely the halo behind the Buddha.

If it is a true Buddha, the halo behind him is an aura that comes with cultivation to a certain level, and there is a saying that it has five radiances.
