From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"hehe!"

Lu Jin sneered twice, instantly extending a magnetic field that bound the nameless robber's heart, and then gently hooked his finger.

Snapped!

In an instant, the nameless robber's back was ripped open, and a heart was ripped out.

In an instant, one out of three prisoners was captured, leaving only two.

"How dare you!"

The smile on the eight-headed bird's face vanished instantly, replaced by a gloomy expression.

As the master of Green Wave Pool, he has a large and powerful family, so the death of one person is not a big deal. However, in front of so many people, he cannot show any attitude of not saving the three below.

Especially since Benba and Baben had followed him for over a decade, although he didn't care about their lives, if he just gave up like that, what would the others in Green Wave Pool think of him as their leader?

Although this place is not the Central Plains, the people are no different.

Have you not seen how Guan Yu's "rigidity and arrogance" led to the betrayal of his allies, and how Zhang Fei's "tyranny and lack of gratitude" caused his subordinates to rebel?

If he abandons Bamba and Babun today, then in the future he will really have to rely solely on force and coercion to manage others.

Although his body had grown to a height of ten feet and possessed abundant innate Qi through his cultivation, it was still ultimately just a mortal body. If he were to be constantly on guard against all his subordinates, his primordial spirit would inevitably break like a taut string sooner or later.

This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Liu and Lu Jin believe that a duel between generals is highly likely.

Faced with the eight-headed bird's angry roar, Lu Jin once again extended a magnetic field, drilling into Benba's back and binding his heart, chuckling, "If you don't express your opinion, do you want to use me to kill these three?"

"Humph!"

The eight-headed bird snorted and questioned, "What exactly do you want? I don't believe you just want the supplies from my Green Wave Pool."

"The supplies are secondary. The main reason is that I've heard of Green Wave Pool's great reputation in this area and want to meet you."

Lu Jin flicked his finger, and Benba's heart was caught, falling to the ground and staining some of the yellow sand red. The eight-headed bird looked on with bloodshot eyes. "Let's have a fight. If I win, all your forces will be mine; if I lose, all my forces will submit to you. How about it?"

"it is good!"

The eight-headed bird leaped from a cliff nearly a hundred meters high, kicking up clouds of dust. With a swing of its crescent shovel, a surge of energy dispersed the yellow wind. Staring at Lu Jin, it sneered, "I do not kill nameless nobodies. State your name!"

This guy really does have the air of an ancient mountain king!

Lu Jin was secretly alarmed, but he sneered and called out his brother's name, "My name is Lu Mingfei. Kneel down and call me Grandpa Lu, and I'll spare your life!"

# Chapter 732 Nine-Headed Insect

Upon hearing the word "Grandpa," the eight-headed bird suddenly became agitated, its seven orifices spitting blood. Its originally bluish-black face now had a touch of dark red. With a roar, it stomped its foot, creating a large crater and stirring up gusts of sand. The crescent shovel in its hand chopped straight at Lu Jin's head.

Seeing that this person actually had such strength, Lu Jin was also shocked. Without further hesitation, he fully activated the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique, and a layer of white transparent light membrane surged around his body. A circle of white Qi flames, like ribbons, surrounded his waist. He was like an immortal or a god. With his Qi waves surging, he raised his fist and pressed it against the bottom of the crescent shovel.

Boom!

The moment the crescent shovel was pushed away, Lu Jin transformed his body into Qi and kicked out, striking the opponent's navel directly and sending him flying nearly ten meters away.

"Only ten meters?"

As his upper and lower body merged and returned to one, Lu Jin murmured to himself, but his movements were not slow. He stepped on the Yin-Yang stance, each step like a lotus flower, and his hands combined hard and soft strength in countless ways.

The feet tread on the two polarities, which is the eight extremes; the energy flows through the nine orifices and the eight meridians; the muscles and bones are strong and integrated into one body; one cultivates to be as stable as a tripod, unmoving and unshakable. The hands grasp the balance of hardness and softness, which is the Tai Chi; the Qi flows through the five internal organs and through the spine; life and nature merge with Yin and Yang; one seeks the ever-changing transformations of dragons and snakes.

Although it couldn't compare to Jiang Liu's Tai Chi Dragon and Snake or Bajiquan to suppress the universe, in just a breath, Lu Jin seemed to cross space and arrive in front of the eight-headed bird. The great dragon on its spine trembled slightly, and a punch was unleashed, aimed straight at its heart!

The eight-headed bird's eyes trembled slightly. It twisted its arms, flipped the crescent shovel in its hand, and pressed it against its heart.

Click!

With a single punch, the crescent shovel shattered and was smashed to pieces, but the eight-headed bird also used the recoil to retreat, avoiding a direct confrontation.

"Great!"

While praising, Lu Jin swung his arm, releasing a cloud of white energy that surged and stirred up dust, attacking the opponent with overwhelming force.

Seeing this, the latter dared not be careless, dropped the crescent shovel in his hand, and let out a strange cry.

thereafter.

From within the nine orifices, wisps of black energy emerged, gathering into a ball and transforming into a large black bird with eight heads.

Its feathers are like brocade, its body like a ball of cotton. It measures about twelve feet in circumference, its length resembling that of a turtle or alligator. Its two feet are sharp as hooks, its eight heads clustered together. When it spreads its wings, it soars high, surpassing even the mighty roc in strength; its cry echoes far and wide, louder than the crane's. Its eyes gleam with a golden light, its pride setting it apart from ordinary birds.

This eight-headed bird is almost identical to the nine-headed insect described in the book "Journey to the West," except that it is missing one head.

The moment the form constructed of Qi appeared, Yin Qi permeated the air, instantly shattering the white Qi that Lu Jin had unleashed, filling the area within a radius of hundreds of kilometers with a chilling aura.

"Truly vicious!"

Lu Jin was terrified, also affected by the Yin Qi, which weakened his strength. Fortunately, he had already established the liver and kidneys as the central palace. The kidneys store essence and Qi, the liver governs the free flow of Qi and stores blood, and the kidney water nourishes the liver wood. He also used the methods of Eight-Nine Qi Transformation and Human Magnetism to stabilize the nine orifices and eight meridians, thus minimizing the impact of the Yin Qi on himself.

The flat-headed magician, Siobhan, and Ellewyn were affected by Yin Qi—although they followed the path of alchemy and did not use the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, Yin Qi entering the body still affected the internal organs, thus weakening their abilities.

Afterwards, Lu Jin looked closely and saw that the eight-headed bird actually had nine heads, but the ninth one only had a neck and no head.

"The Yin energy is so abundant, and the sixteen pairs of eyes are filled with spiritual light, they are probably Yin spirits, but to entrust a Yin spirit to the nine orifices—"

Lu Jin had only ever seen Jiang Liu entrust the spirits of the Green and White Snakes to his ancestral aperture, where they were always accompanied by a single point of spiritual light and eternal sincerity. How could it be like this eight-headed bird, which entrusts its yin spirit to the nine apertures of the human body and merges with the yin energy?

It is definitely some kind of evil magic!

However, these eight birds are not weak either. It may not be possible to defeat them in a short time. Perhaps we will have to rely on Brother Jiang to seize their base camp and disrupt their mindset before we can find an opportunity.

With this thought in mind, Lu Jin calmed down, and with each breath, the depleted Qi was being restored at an extremely fast pace.

"interesting!"

The eight-headed bird spoke up, “Your method reminds me of an annoying fellow who combined his own evil desires and yin energy, and with his innate abilities and the power of heaven and earth, created me. But then he felt that I was unruly, so he joined forces with a monk who was on his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures to draw up the method of cultivating the Heart Sutra. He then separated me from his body and cut off one of my heads, which is why I have not recovered to this day.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin's eyes narrowed slightly.

If the eight-headed bird's statement is true, the following three conclusions can be drawn:

Firstly, this person's body has been occupied by this evil spirit!

Ordinary spirit mediums, relying on the power of possession by yin spirits, base their abilities on the thirteen ghost acupoints. However, if the nine orifices are used as the basis—

It is possession and rebirth!

However, most spirits do not possess this ability, not even the spirits in Northeast China that have cultivated for thousands of years!

Secondly, this eight-headed bird is very likely the nine-headed insect described in "Journey to the West"! It is not a real creature, nor is it a spirit, but rather something created by an ancient cultivator who stripped away his own yin energy and evil desires, yet it possesses independent growth potential—

It is somewhat similar to Brother Jiang's innate superpower - the Investiture of the Gods.

Thirdly, the ancient cultivator who created this nine-headed insect possessed a cultivation technique similar to his Eight-Nine Arcane Arts! At least it involves the aspects of gathering and dispersing qi, and human magnetism.

"Who exactly are you?" Lu Jin asked coldly.

"who am I?"

The eight-headed bird chuckled coldly, "I am the nine-headed worm! I was born from the evil desires of the human heart and the yin energy of the nine orifices, and then I came into being by borrowing the power of the divine land's energy structure!"

Unfortunately—

My master, in order to cultivate a pure yang body, actually killed me... But he didn't know that as long as he lived, I would not perish.

Even if he dies and his Qi is reincarnated, I will also be reborn!

"I was originally the Yin of the Nine Orifices; anything with nine orifices can become my body! After countless cycles of reincarnation, I've arrived in this Western land, yet I still cannot escape the cycle of cause and effect!"

After saying that, he added, "Your technique was definitely not created by yourself. Someone must have taught you the profound principles of the Eight or Nine Mysteries and the methods of the Hetu and Luoshu! It establishes the five internal organs as the central palace!"

Let him come out!

I'll fight him!

Lu Jin did not answer or think much about it. He simply stared at the eight-headed bird, looking for a weakness. With a wave of his hand, he shot out nine nine-foot nails, as swift as lightning, all at once.

The eight-headed bird returned to its body, still wreathed in black Qi flames. It had a pair of black wings on its back, with a wingspan of three meters, and strange runes were drawn on them. These runes were in harmony with the energy of the place. With a gentle flap, it sent the nine-foot nail flying. Then it took off again, stirring up a gale that forced Lu Jin to use his Qi Transformation technique to also take to the air and confront the bird.

In terms of the ability to fly, Lu Jin is no match for Jiang Liu, but by taking advantage of the effects of the Eight-Nine Qi Transformation and the strength of the human magnet, it is not difficult for him to stay in mid-air for the time being.

The two fought from the ground to the sky, shocking not only ordinary people, but also the flat-headed magician, Siobhan, Alejandro González, and others.

flight!

To achieve this solely through cultivation, what level of attainment must one have reached?

Lu Jin broke out in a cold sweat—the eight-headed bird had sent his nine-foot nail flying with a single move... Its strength had exceeded his expectations. If he didn't use the gene lock, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat it!

At the same time.

Progress on the Jiangliu side is going quite smoothly...

# Chapter 733 Burning Green Wave Pool

Go around to the back of the oasis.

Jiang Liu took out a piece of white paper, folded it into a paper monkey, and filled each one with a ball of Yin-Yang Qi. He then distributed the paper monkeys to the crowd, saying, "With these paper monkeys, as long as you are in the same world, you can communicate without any obstacles."

Compared to the light spots condensed by reflecting the minds of others through spiritual light, the water and fire yin-yang qi pills, which are all condensed from the 84,000 illusory apertures of the human body, also have the ability to communicate under the connection of Qimen Dunjia. However, unlike the light spots which can communicate across time and space, they can only transmit messages under the same sky.

"Commander, just how much power do you have?" Jax asked with a smile, slinging his gun over his shoulder and taking a paper monkey.

"In the East, there is a saying: 'If you master one key, you will master all key points.' Take mathematical formulas as an example. As long as you master these formulas and can apply them flexibly, you can solve all problems that seem different but are essentially the same."

As Jiang Liu raised his hand, a ball of Qi surged into it. He chuckled and said, “Because we come from different lands, we have different names for this energy: Qi Refining, Alchemy, Witchcraft, Magic, Chakra, etc. But in essence, it is the same energy. As long as we understand the nature of this energy and construct the corresponding energy conversion formula, wouldn’t it be easy to master multiple abilities?”

Upon hearing this, Jax's mouth twitched, and he stopped asking questions.

That's the principle, but very few people can actually do it. Most practitioners rely on one ability to make a living.

After distributing the paper monkeys, Jiang Liu led the group into the canyon.

"Are we just going to walk in like this?"

Yagata held the doll, forcing a strained smile. "Isn't this a bit too arrogant?"

"It's alright. Everyone here has gone to the front to check on the heat. There are only about ten people patrolling. If we encounter them, we'll just deal with them."

Using his mental scan, Jiang Liu had already determined the general situation within the oasis. With him leading the way, they wouldn't even encounter patrol teams.
