From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Upon hearing that the Golden Branch was still inside Elijah's body and could not be removed, King Nathan's expression changed, and he gave a signal to the other Nathan guards.

Alfonso immediately stepped forward to examine him, frowned, and said to Nathan Island, "Your Majesty, the Golden Branch does indeed exist within his body, forming an extremely complex alchemical array. I have never seen anything so complicated before."

The other seven Nathan guards also went forward to check, but none of them could do anything about it.

Jiang Liu stepped forward and lightly tapped his Baihui acupoint three times. Through the vibration of his magnetic field, he activated the innate Qi within his body, circulating it throughout the body and refining the golden branch within, gathering it in his chest.

Pfft!

Elijah's chest bulged, and then a golden branch, as thick as a finger, pierced out and landed in Jiang Liu's palm.

Jiang Liu clenched his fists, and golden lines appeared on his palms and fingers. As they flowed, they gathered the five elements of Qi and grasped the six energies, performing the Nine Revolutions Technique. Through kneading, he refined them, drawing them into a long golden thread that connected end to end, forming a ring that quietly floated in his palms.

"Brother Jiang, what is this?"

Zhang Chulan was already completely impressed by Jiang Liu's abilities, but he was still curious.

"Would you like to wear the golden headband, forged from a golden branch?"

Jiang Liu's eyes darted around, and he chuckled and joked, "I can also improvise a 'spell to restrain you,' and give it to Feng Baobao later. If you misbehave, just have her recite it, and I guarantee you'll behave."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan was shocked and quickly grabbed Jiang Liu's leg, shouting, "No! Brother Jiang, I'm really not Sun Wukong! I listen to Bao Bao! I'm her slave!"

In an instant.

The entire room fell silent!

Shameless!

really!

There is no such thing as a wrong name in this world!

"Baby, you used to play such elaborate games with Zhang Chulan? A master-servant game?" Lu Linglong's eyes were filled with gossip, and two puffs of white breath came out of her nostrils, as if she was quite excited.

“This isn’t a master-servant game; he’s my slave.” Feng Baobao stared at him with dead fish eyes, her expression serious. “We even live together.”

"Living together!"

Lu Linglong was even more excited.

Lu Lin's eyes dimmed, probably because he had a soft spot for the "pure" type like Feng Baobao... Was he out of touch with the times?

Only the sand swallows knew the truth, and they secretly smiled.

After the brief incident, Jiang Liu handed the "golden hoop" to King Nasen, his smile fading as he said seriously, "This originally belonged to you, Nasen. Now that I have refined it into a golden hoop, it no longer has the function of scaring Zhang Chulan, but it can amplify a person's power."

Wearing this, your raw strength is probably comparable to Li Muxuan's, but you likely haven't experienced any decent battles and lack experience. If you were to actually fight your grandfather and he didn't hold back, you would have a 90% chance of losing.

Perhaps I could keep it as a souvenir?

After gazing at the golden hoop for a while, King Nason refused, saying, "Since you crafted it, it naturally belongs to you, and Nason no longer needs anything related to the divine tree."

Having endured the pain of merging into the core of the divine tree and experienced death once, King Nathan's spiritual growth far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

As the ruler of a country, one can rely on external resources to rebuild the nation, but one cannot depend on external resources to enhance one's strength; otherwise, one will be coveted by others, and the losses will outweigh the gains.

"Alright, it's mine now."

Jiang Liu immediately put the thin, gold-thread-like hoop into his storage ring, his movements as swift as lightning, as if afraid that King Nathan might change his mind.

In reality, the golden hoop made from the golden branches of the divine tree has no effect on increasing strength. On the contrary, its effect is just as he had just fooled Zhang Chulan. Once worn, it takes root—in a physical sense, meaning that the inside of the golden hoop will drill into the scalp, penetrate the skull, connect with the cerebral cortex, and intertwine with the neurons.

If he adds an insurance policy afterward, it can really act as a restraining force, putting it on someone's head and simply chanting a spell to make them obedient.

Seeing Jiang Liu's actions, King Nasen felt a pang of regret, realizing he shouldn't have pretended to be aloof!

That's great!

We're missing a treasure to boost our strength!

"Now, you can call me Master."

The river flows on.

"Ah."

King Nathan nodded, then suddenly realized, "Hmm?"

Then she asked, "Is this a test?"

"Being able to be independent of external things shows that you already have the potential to be a qualified king," Jiang Liu said with a smile. "I am very strict in accepting disciples."

"Master!"

King Nathan knelt and kowtowed.

Nathan's eight guards also knelt down.

Although Elijah did not understand why, he knew that Jiang Liu had saved King Nathan, so he bowed to Jiang Liu to express his gratitude.

Jiang Liu helped King Nathan up and asked with a smile, "Have you figured out how to rebuild Nathan Island?"

"Think about it!"

The former deepness in King Nathan's eyes had been replaced by a touch of feminine liveliness. He looked up at the sunrise in the east, raised his hand, slowly clenched his fist, and said forcefully, "I will transform Nathan into a sacred place for cultivation! A platform for the exchange between Eastern hermits and Western alchemists!"

# Chapter 685 Reactions from All Sides —

The Nathan Island matter is settled.

However, the shockwaves caused by the Nathan Island incident have yet to subside.

The divine tree took human form...

The river flows, displaying the laws of heaven and earth...

The aftershocks of the battle between the two covered nearly a third of the Earth's surface, and residents of coastal cities in Eurasia and the Americas all noticed the white light that seemed to be threatening to reduce the world to nothingness.

In addition, geological disaster agencies and survey bureaus in various countries detected abrupt vibration frequencies. After discussion, research, and summarization, they arrived at an outrageous conclusion:

The whole Earth trembled.

Just a slight one.

The source of the tremors was in the Pacific Ocean... Therefore, the official statements from various countries claimed that a giant meteorite struck a small island in the Pacific Ocean, causing global tremors.

The general public believed it, but some intelligent people did not!

If a meteorite impact could cause a slight tremor across the entire Earth, then the coastal areas of all continents would have already been hit by tsunamis, so how could they have remained unscathed?

But what if you don't believe it?

Life must go on.

However, it caused a huge uproar in the Eastern world of supernatural beings, the Western world of alchemy, and the world of magic!

The Behemoth forces, led by Ron, who invaded Nathan Island, were completely annihilated; even their aircraft carrier was captured by Nathan...

Nathan's partnered with Nathan Island to help rebuild homes on the island...

of course!

What shocked them most was that Jiang Liu, this extraordinary Eastern genius who appeared out of nowhere, possessed the great supernatural power of "manipulating heaven and earth," and with a single strike, he pierced through Nathan Island and even caused an underwater volcanic eruption, resulting in a slight tremor across the entire globe.

Is that still a human being?

The Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain.

Tian Jinzhong had already let go of the secret he had kept for many years. Looking at the message on his phone, he asked Zhang Zhiwei, "Senior brother, I remember you said at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony that Jiang Liu could not use the Law of Heaven and Earth?"

"Did I say that? Junior brother, you're mistaken."

The old celestial master chuckled, watching the video on his phone screen, but then sighed softly, saying, "Having cultivated such supernatural powers, I really don't know what his future will be like."

"His future?"

Tian Jinzhong seized on the key point, "Senior brother, I've always doubted whether you really know him. Can you tell me why?"

"Then tell me the secret you're guarding, shall we?" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile.

"Senior brother, I promised Huaiyi."

Tian Jinzhong's expression turned solemn.

"I also promised Jiang Liu."

Zhang Zhiwei was very serious.

Tian Jinzhong: "......"

Wudang.

Zhou Sheng returned to his hometown and deliberately let Zhou Meng notice him, luring him out.

"What are you doing back here?!"

Upon seeing Zhou Sheng for the first time, Zhou Meng questioned him.

"Can't I even go home and visit my family?"

Zhou Sheng grinned, "And another thing, is that how you talk to your older brother?"

"From the moment you swore brotherhood with Wugensheng, I no longer consider you my elder brother!" Zhou Meng glared angrily, stretching his muscles and striking a pose reminiscent of the White Crane Spreading its Wings.

"Hey!"

Zhou Sheng laughed, and surrounded by black qi, he transformed into a white crane, spreading his wings and striking a pose, saying, "This is what I call 'White Crane Spreads Its Wings'!"

"Oh shit!"

Zhou Meng roared and stepped forward, his movements as if shrinking the distance between them. But just as he got close, Zhou Sheng flapped his wings and flew away, shouting, "Thanks! Brother, you've helped me cultivate a good seedling to inherit the Feng Hou Qi Men!"

"Irresponsible bastard!"

As Zhou Meng chased after him, he yelled, "Can't you learn from Jiang Liu?"

"I don't have his great supernatural powers of transforming heaven and earth!" Zhou Sheng replied, flapping his wings and leaving Wudang Mountain. He returned this time only to reminisce.

future--

He still had something to "discuss" with Qu Tong...

Yaoxing Club.
