From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

The man in black robes was also kneeling on the ground.

Ruan Feng raised his hand to cover his eyes, his brows furrowed.

As the energy dissipated, Ma Xianhong's black armor shattered into dust, his entire body turning blood red, as if he had stopped breathing...

"call--"

The sand swallow knelt on the ground, panting heavily, exhaling a breath of white air. A wave of heat emanated from its body, and beads of sweat kept appearing, which were quickly evaporated, leaving patches of white stains.

A person's combat strength, without considering the mutual restraint of abilities, is based on two fundamental conditions.

Firstly: Cultivation.

Secondly: the efficiency of utilizing cultivation points.

As long as the difference in cultivation level is not as great as that between an "adult" and an "infant," the outcome of the battle will depend on the efficiency of their utilization of cultivation.

Make the most of every ounce of effort.

One unit of effort can achieve ten units of effect.

Both are a fraction of an effort, but the former might only be used to grab mung beans, while the latter can directly grind mung beans into mung bean powder!

Although Ma Xianhong gained control of the Mindscape Control Room with Jiang Liu's help, he could only manipulate the body's motor center.

And what about the sand martins?

Under Jiang Liu's pure Yang thought, the entire macroscopic and open system of the human body was applied to the transmission of force and Qi.

Just like the lever principle, give me a fulcrum and I can lift the whole earth!

Ma Xianhong's mind control room helped him to exert a tenfold effect with a single unit of power, while Feng Shayan, under the control of Jiang Liu's pure yang thoughts, exerted a hundredfold effect with a single unit of power!

The difference between the two —

It's obvious!

but.

To achieve the best results with minimal effort, one's own system must be robust.

Taking the lever principle as an example, even if you find the fulcrum that can move the earth, the lever itself must be extremely strong.

Therefore, there are actually three basic conditions for assessing the combat strength of a cultivator.

Besides the level of cultivation, that is, the amount of Qi, and the efficiency of utilizing cultivation, that is, the control over the circulation of Qi and bodily movements.

Another factor is the strength or weakness of one's life.

That is, the strength of the body and the soul.

This is the foundation.

Feng Shayan's life force was weak. After Jiang Liu used her body to perform a Qi Transformation move, he exhausted 99% of her Qi power.

After this move, the thirteen ghost acupoints trembled, and Jiang Liu's pure yang thoughts could no longer control Feng Sha Yan's body. Following the light spot, it returned to Jiang Liu's ancestral aperture, entered the Heart Heaven Court, returned to its post, and dutifully performed its duties.

"Xianhong!"

Seeing Ma Xianhong fall, Ruan Feng was furious. He grabbed the black-robed man who had cast the spell on him, opened his mouth wide, and bit off a piece of flesh with a "smack".

The man in black robes wailed, his figure swayed, and he separated from Ruan Feng, but his black robes and mask were torn off, revealing an old man's face.

The old man had short white hair and a white beard, but his muscles were quite strong. He was staring at Ruan Feng, who showed no signs of fatigue, and said in a heavy breath, "The enhancement of physical functions by the Eastern Qi Refining method is indeed outrageous, but someone like you, who can recover from injuries in an instant and has almost inexhaustible stamina, must have cultivated some kind of forbidden technique!"

Ruan Feng had no interest in chatting with the old man. He leaped over to Ma Xianhong, checked him over, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ma Xianhong had simply fainted.

Then, he slowly walked up to Feng Shayan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "We're all family. Isn't it a bit too much to use such a heavy hand?"

But Feng Shayan chuckled twice and said, "Senior, my surname is Feng, and his surname is Ma. As the saying goes, 'Feng and Ma (meaning ox and wind) are unrelated.' How can we be considered family?"

Upon hearing this...

Ruan Feng's eyes were filled with coldness. He raised his hand and pressed down on Feng Shayan's crown in an instant.

Zhang Chulan, Zhang Lingyu, Feng Baobao, and the others immediately took action, but how could they possibly react in time? Even with the lightning technique stimulating his meridians and activating the Swift Thunder Gathering, Zhang Chulan's speed was still far slower than Ruan Feng's.

Damn it!

"Still too slow!"

At this moment, Zhang Chulan once again realized his own inadequacy.

Just as Feng Shayan was about to be killed by a single blow, the surrounding space distorted, and a hand grabbed Ruan Feng's wrist. Before he could even think, he felt a tremendous force, like a tsunami, sweep over his entire body.

Boom!

As the air surged, Ruan Feng was sent flying backward, crashing into the forest outside the sacred forest, raising a cloud of gray dust that shot straight into the sky.

When Ruan Feng came to his senses, he found himself outside the Sacred Forest. An unparalleled sense of emptiness welled up in his heart—his abdomen had been ripped open, and the wristwatch was now in Jiang Liu's hands.

"No! Give it back to me!"

Ruan Feng burst into a cloud of smoke, which swept through the nearby woods. Where the white mist covered the trees and flowers withered, everything was transformed into life. He inhaled it, and the huge gash in his abdomen healed instantly, as if he had never been injured.

The formidable strength of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief is evident.

Just as he was about to go berserk, a whirlwind descended from the sky, transforming into the figure of an old man who stood in front of Ruan Feng and rebuked him: "Don't be impulsive if you don't want to die!"

"Third Brother!"

Ruan Feng was taken aback, then grabbed at the old man and shouted, "Get out of my way, Zhou Sheng, I want my watch back!"

Without the Reincarnation Watch, Ruan Feng could no longer suppress his emptiness.

He needs a watch!

Without that watch, he could have resisted the urge to eat people, but once he tried the "medicine" to alleviate that urge, how could he possibly give it up in a short time?

He collaborated with Ma Xianhong not only because he was the great-grandson of his sworn brother, but also because he believed that Ma's self-cultivation furnace might actually cure his problem.

Therefore, both morally and logically, he must save Ma Xianhong, and before Ma Xianhong can build another body-refining furnace, he must retrieve the watch that can alleviate his problems!

"That property originally belonged to someone else!"

Seeing that Ruan Feng had actually attacked him, Zhou Sheng was also enraged. He transformed into a black wind, swept up Ruan Feng, and blew him into the sky.

Then, the black wind energy gathered and transformed into an elephant, pressing down on Ruan Feng and slamming him hard to the ground, causing the earth to tremble and a cloud of dust to rise.

"That's... the power of transformation?"

At the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, Jiang Liu demonstrated his ability to transform, once turning into a Peng bird and giving Zhang Zhiwei a "throw to Earth" (a type of aerial attack).

Unexpectedly, this old man who suddenly appeared could also transform.

Zhou Sheng?

Shouldn't he have figured out the secrets of Qimen Dunjia?

Just as he was wondering, Jiang Liu had already helped Feng Shayan and the unconscious Ma Xianhong to Zhang Chulan and the others. After handing the two over to Zhang Chulan and Lu Linglong, he said, "Feng Hou Qi Men, fixes one of the internal organs in the body as the Central Palace, which governs the twenty-four solar terms and seventy-two pentads of the heavens, and transforms me into... a Marquis King."

Like Wang Ye, some people only use Feng Hou Qi Men as a method for expanding their territory, thus losing sight of the bigger picture.

However, on the other hand, the greatest benefit of mastering Feng Hou Qi Men for cultivation is not the ability to control the changes in the cosmos, but rather the control over the timing and intensity of the four seasons and six qi.

When the smoke cleared, Nguyen Phuong was lying on the ground, unable to get up.

The Six Treasures Immortal Thief can draw upon the life force of heaven and earth for his own use, but Zhou Sheng, with his own innate Qi governing the seventy-two phases of the heavens, can disrupt the Yin and Yang within Ruan Feng's body.

It's not too difficult to knock the other person unconscious.

"I'm leaving now!"

Zhou Shengchao and Jiang Liu nodded slightly, transforming into a wisp of black energy that carried Ruan Feng into the air. With a few quick movements, they left the Sacred Forest and entered a nearby grove of trees in the blink of an eye…

# Chapter 674 Saving the Nathan Islanders (Part 1): Shaking Hands and Making Peace

"Brother Jiang, is Zhou Sheng also capable of flying, just like you?"

Zhang Chulan clicked his tongue in amazement.

The abilities of superhumans are varied and bizarre, but flying is quite rare; as far as he knows, there are only two kinds.

The first type is the art of manipulating objects. The sword immortals people talk about are actually those who have mastered the art of manipulating objects.

The second type—

It means riding the clouds and mist.

I thought that only Jiang Liu knew this method, but I never expected that Zhou Sheng, who had comprehended the Feng Hou Qi Men, would also know the method of soaring and had the ability to transform.

"More or less, but he practices Wudang Tai Chi and Feng Hou Qi Men, which is not as convenient as my method of sensing the surrounding Qi field through magnetism and Qi transformation. If he only takes off, his speed will be much slower than mine."

Jiang Liu, however, was not stingy and explained to everyone, "However, in terms of skill, Feng Hou Qi Men is a trick. To cultivate the transformation technique and the cloud-riding method, it is not too difficult. As long as you control the timing of the Qi circulation, that is the foundation of internal alchemy."

Zhang Lingyu asked, "Senior, do you also practice the Quanzhen Inner Alchemy lineage?"

"I understand the pure Yang method of the Jade Emperor Palace lineage, but the Golden Elixir I speak of uses life and spirit as lead and mercury to seek immortality of body and mind. It is different from the Quanzhen method that focuses on the One Yang Spirit. It is a cultivation theory that I have figured out myself."

After saying that, Jiang Liu looked at the cultivation furnace.

Elijah kept firing, but none of the energy bullets penetrated the cultivation furnace. He cursed under his breath, "Damn it!"

The old man, having shed his black robe, walked to the cultivation furnace, raised his hand to stroke the tree root patterns on it, and sighed, "Great witchcraft, but—"

In an instant, a red light appeared in his palm and was injected into the cultivation furnace, but the furnace only flickered with a faint red glow and then there were no other changes.

"Unbelievable..."

The old man's eyes widened in disbelief.

To know!

He just cast an Annihilation Spell, which can destroy both matter and energy, but it had no effect on this Body Cultivation Furnace!

why?

"Your methods can destroy matter and disperse energy, but they cannot destroy will."
