From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Or perhaps it was to get some important information from these people, like Judy.

But the other side has a powerful being whose strength is beyond their own, even beyond their own... They didn't tell them such important information! This is no different from sending them straight to their deaths!

"Alright then, you can go now," Jiang Liu said to Elijah and the others.

"..."

Elijah opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't ask any more questions. He exchanged a glance with Gustav, then pulled Chanon, Honda, and Shaba along, heading towards the passage to the Valley of the Twenty-Four Festivals.

"Hey, are we just going to let them go like that?" Xia Liuqing protested. "They've trespassed on the sect leader's territory!"

"Is this your sect leader's place?"

Jiang Liu laughed so hard he almost fell over, as if he'd heard the funniest joke. "He's at most the discoverer! He's the one who added the thin lines on the walls of that narrow canyon!"

"how do you know?"

"Warlocks can predict the future."

Faced with Mei Jinfeng's question, Jiang Liu brushed it off with a single sentence, turning back to look at the two golden monkeys high in the canyon, whose bodies were taller than ordinary monkeys and whose shapes were more like humans, and said, "Four-legged running is ape, upright walking is human. The riddles left by Wugensheng, 'What is a human?' and 'Sincerity,' are actually very simple—"

What is a person?

To stand tall and upright is to be human.

What is sincerity?

The person who created this valley must have been a practitioner. From the perspective of practice, it means not deceiving oneself. Only by upholding the principles of sincerity and the way of Heaven in practice can one move forward bravely.

If one is not sincere, then one's practice will naturally be half-hearted, or even lack of focus; how can one possibly attain a profound state of being?

"That makes some sense," Xia Liuqing thought for a moment, then said to Mei Jinfeng, "Jinfeng, do you think this is what the sect leader meant?"

"We'll have to go inside the cave to find out."

Mei Jinfeng did not agree immediately. Instead, she looked at Ma Xianhong, Liu Mingyuan, and Judy and said, "However, before that, you must first tell us who your mastermind is."

"That's right! Speak up!" Xia Liuqing grabbed Ma Xianhong and questioned him, "When I ambushed you before, you had a protective magic artifact on you. You were indeed in cahoots with Ma Xianhong, weren't you?"

Ma Xianhong remained silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "No."

“Mr. Jiang, isn’t it inappropriate for you to associate with the Quanxing people?” Liu Mingyuan said.

"The company's people are all mixed up with the Quanxing people!"

Jiang Liu chuckled and said, "How about I decide to let you go? You can tell everyone and see if the major powers in the world of supernatural beings believe you or the company?"

Liu Mingyuan: "..."

"besides--"

Jiang Liu walked up to Judy, stared into her eyes, and pointed a finger at her brow. The nail in her brow caused a mental shock that traveled to Qu Tong's mind and exploded.

In an instant.

Judy's head was shattered, and Qu Tong also had a splitting headache. At the critical moment, she pulled out the nail from between her eyebrows, but she was still impacted, bleeding from all seven orifices and turning pale. Even though she had mastered the Dual Hands, with all her meridians broken and her mind shaken, she could not actively control them and could not recover immediately.

"The second time! Why did you come to ruin my plans?" After regaining some strength, Qu Tong's injuries were healing at a visible speed, her eyes blazing with fury.

Why?

You can investigate the truth yourself, but don't sacrifice others.

Clear and flippant words rang in Qu Tong's ears, causing her to tense up. She gritted her teeth and said, "Telepathic communication over a thousand miles! With such abilities, you'd even think of meddling in worldly affairs?"

I am human, not a celestial being or a saint, so why can't I get involved in worldly affairs?

Jiang Liu countered with a question, then added, "If you want to seek the truth, I can give you a suggestion: go to Longhu Mountain and find Zhang Zhiwei. Have him pass on the Heavenly Master's Code to you; it contains all the answers you seek."

Qu Tong ignored it and focused on breathing.

Seeing this, Jiang Liu also withdrew his borrowed spiritual power. Under the shocked gazes of Mei Jinfeng and Xia Liuqing, he picked up the nail from between Judy's eyebrows, carefully sensed the patterns on it, and said, "Not bad design. Combined with the android, it achieves an external avatar. It can't be considered the result of cultivation, but it's quite practical."

As he spoke, he glanced at Ma Xianhong and Liu Mingyuan, and said, "You two can go now."

Without a word, Ma Xianhong immediately grabbed Liu Mingyuan and chased after Elijah and the others.

Midway through, Ma Xianhong glanced at Liu Mingyuan, and in an instant pulled out a knife-shaped magic weapon from his pouch, slashing Liu Mingyuan's neck.

pat!

A huge head, like a hard-boiled egg, rolled to the ground, followed by the headless body.

I still have some use...

Without Qu Tong's influence, Ma Xianhong's initiative was greatly amplified, and he realized that he could use the fact that Qu Tong still needed him to extricate himself.

"You want to leave the mainland with me?"

Elijah became quite wary when he saw Ma Xianhong following him.

"I want to get rid of that woman!"

Ma Xianhong's face was contorted with rage as he said, half-jokingly, "That woman is a madwoman. I must escape! Only when I have gathered enough power can I take my revenge on her!"

Thinking of Qu Tong, Elijah's eyes also turned serious, and he said, "If you join Nathan, you can no longer leave the island, unless you can become a royal guard."

“I can give it a try. I am a weapon refiner!” Ma Xianhong said.

"Heh, if you're not chosen by the Divine Tree, no matter how talented you are, it's useless." Elijah's eyes seemed to hold a hint of mockery.

"That's not necessarily true."

Chosen by the Divine Tree?

Ma Xianhong didn't know much about Nathan, but based on the few words Elijah revealed, the Divine Tree was probably not a code name for some extraordinary person, but rather a truly special tree.

That might be an extremely special material for refining weapons...

···

"Are you just going to let them go like that?"

Xia Liuqing shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"

"What?"

Jiang Liu sneered, "You are from Quanxing, why should I help you? The reason I didn't kill you directly is because you two are considered oddballs in Quanxing. One is a little fangirl who secretly loves Wugensheng, and the other is a green-haired turtle who openly loves the little fangirl who secretly loves Wugensheng."

"Fuck your mother!"

Upon hearing the term "green-haired turtle," Xia Liuqing flew into a rage, panting as she shouted, "Jin Feng, don't stop me! I'm going to fight this guy to the death!"

"I didn't stop you." Mei Jinfeng simply stood aside.

"Jin Feng, are you going to watch me go to my death?" Xia Liuqing shouted.

"You won't die if you don't attack him."

After saying this, Mei Jinfeng ignored the heartbroken Xia Liuqing and stared at Jiang Liu, saying, "Come with me to the cave and see if the sect leader's collection is still there."

"Honestly, Jin Feng, can't you care about me for once?" Xia Liuqing said helplessly, but she could only follow along.

The cave is a maze of passages with dozens of routes, but according to Mei Jinfeng, no matter which route you take, you will eventually reach the end.

If the Twenty-Four Solar Terms are the spine of a person, then this intricate network of roots that ultimately leads to one place is the human brain.

Upon reaching the deepest part of the cave, a clearing appeared before them. Although it was completely dark above and all around, the environment here was clear enough for an ordinary person to see clearly.

In the very center of the open space stood a small pavilion built on a high platform. Upon approaching, one found nothing inside except a yin-yang diagram carved on the ground, the ashes left from the burning, and Zhang Chulan and Ma Xianhong.

"As expected! The sect leader's belongings have already been taken away!" Mei Jinfeng had expected this, but seeing that the collection was really gone, leaving only ashes on the ground, she was still somewhat saddened.

"Grandma Jin Feng, there might still be some artifacts left here, but someone beat you to it and burned them." Wang Zhenqiu, not wanting to miss out on trouble, glanced at Zhang Chulan...

# Chapter 629 The Enlightenment Chapter (Part 1)

Seeing Wang Zhenqiu glance over, Zhang Chulan knelt down before Mei Jinfeng without saying a word, saying, "Grandma Jinfeng, I swear, the ashes here have absolutely nothing to do with me!"

"Then why didn't you stay and interrogate those foreigners with us? Instead, you rushed in first!" Xia Liuqing asked sarcastically.

"The Source Flow of Qi!"

Using the Qi Source Flow as an excuse, Zhang Chulan contacted the Eight Extraordinary Techniques and addressed Wugensheng as his godfather... This shameless speech actually calmed Mei Jinfeng down.

Besides being pleasing to the ear, Mei Jinfeng was also a shrewd person who knew that falling out with Zhang Chulan at this time would not do her any good.

Just after this little incident, Xia Liuqing noticed two footprints on the Tai Chi diagram under the pavilion. She stood on them and channeled her Qi into the soles of her feet.

But nothing happened.

"Jin Feng, aren't these two footprints a trap?" Xia Liuqing asked, scratching her head.

“Do you think I haven’t tried?” Mei Jinfeng rolled her eyes. “These two footprints are just footprints, not some kind of mechanism.”

"It's an organization."

After saying this, Jiang Liu ignored Zhang Chulan's nervous expression and said to Feng Baobao, "Concentrate your Qi in your two fingers and press it on the Yongquan acupoint of that footprint."

Feng Baobao said "Oh," then focused her Qi on her two fingers and pressed them on the Yongquan acupoints of the two footprints.

Instantly.

Qi condensed on it, emitting a faint glow.

Immediately afterwards, the ground shook, and the perfectly sealed Tai Chi diagram slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black passage leading downwards.

At that moment, Zhang Chulan swallowed hard, fearing that those present might discover some clues about Feng Baobao.

He had already used his lightning magic to burn an oil painting that looked almost exactly like Feng Baobao. What should he do if there are any other clues related to Feng Baobao?

[Wang Zhenqiu is definitely fickle, always looking for fun, but Jiang Liu... is too sincere.]

"Human life is a rare privilege! Since we have this opportunity, we can't let it go to waste. Let's all go down and take a look." With that, Jiang Liu took the lead, and Feng Baobao followed spontaneously.

Xia Liuqing and Mei Jinfeng looked at each other in bewilderment and hurriedly followed.

Wang Zhenqiu gave Zhang Chulan a meaningful smile and immediately followed.
