From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"If you didn't steal it, then you must have accidentally revealed the secret, and your companion wandered aimlessly through the palace at night, stumbled upon the Dinghai Hall, and stole the Dinghai Pearl."

"That's impossible."

The river has its reasons.

In his team—

Those who have not cultivated themselves are heavy and have turbid qi. Although they are mostly explorers, retired soldiers, mercenaries and other special professions who often exercise and have steady and powerful steps, if they rummage around in the hall, they will inevitably be discovered by the guards and soldiers.

Even if one were lucky enough to touch the Dinghai Hall during the shift change of guards inside the hall, without mastering the energy of "Qi", one would not be able to see the Dinghai Pearl hidden in the Qi formation.

Although cultivators possess power, none of them are familiar with the Fish-Dragon Talisman Seal Technique. When they walk through places with strong energy, they are unfamiliar with the energy flow and wander aimlessly, which will inevitably cause the energy flow to fluctuate and alert the people of the area to the anomaly.

Not to mention that stealing the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl would inevitably be noticed by Xihe immediately, and he would be caught and killed on the spot!

"Are you saying that I stole from you?" Xiao Xi's face turned red with anger, and she was furious.

"Xiao Xi, don't be angry."

Xihe emerged from the pyramid, but her appearance was different from that seen three days ago. Her face was illusory, her body was scattered, and she did not resemble a real person, but rather a fleeting shadow.

This is because the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were stolen, causing the spirit of the Qi Bureau to become violent and attempt to merge with the form of the Qi Bureau of this world, which would then disrupt the heavens and earth of this world.

Therefore, she went to Dinghai Hall in her true form to temporarily suppress the spirit of the Qi and stabilize the Qi of this week. What is now presented to everyone is a wisp of her spiritual body.

“A person whose cultivation reaches Wu Ming’s level may commit murder and arson, or rob and plunder, but to cultivate to such a level where one’s body is imbued with Daoist charm and one’s heart exudes a unique fragrance, one is definitely not a person who acts with a deceitful heart.”

Xihe spoke with absolute certainty, saying, "Once you act against your conscience, your Daoist charm will vanish and your exotic fragrance will dissipate. You will descend from sainthood to mortal. How could you then possibly win the favor of your wise and powerful mother, who is none other than me?"

"..."

Jiang Liu was speechless for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, needless to say, although it wasn't me or us who stole the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, it was my curiosity about the history of the Zhou Tian region that led Xiao Xi to take me to the Sea-Stabilizing Palace to observe the spirit of the fish and dragon, which already broke the rules..."

I may also bear some responsibility for the theft of the Dinghai Pearl.

I am willing to help Zhou Tian find the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl!

"Alright."

Xihe stared at Jiang Liu for a long time before finally speaking, "If you find the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, I can grant you any three of your requests."

“Your Majesty, please don’t say such things. Why do we need a reason to help others?” Jiang Liu said righteously.

"Xiao Xi, since you were the one who took Wu Ming to Dinghai Palace, you also had a responsibility. Go with him to capture the thieves and find the Dinghai Pearl." Xi He then instructed Xiao Xi, and the spirit body disappeared without a trace.

"Yes, Mother!"

Xiao Xi bowed and accepted.

Just after Xihe disappeared, Jiang Liu sensed a slight tremor in the slightly disordered energy of this realm. After a moment's thought, he understood the reason.

The spirit that suppresses the energy field is related to the energy field of the human body.

The human body's energy structure has its own master, namely, one's own primordial spirit, soul, consciousness, etc.

To suppress the spirit of the Qi formation with one's own body, one must first relinquish control of one's own consciousness, soul, and primordial spirit over the Qi circulation within the body, thus temporarily rendering it an unclaimed Qi formation. This allows the spirit of the Qi formation to be drawn into the body, and then one's own primordial spirit is used to suppress it, preventing the spirit of the Qi formation from merging with the external Qi formation, in order to prevent this realm from becoming chaotic.

To contend with the spirit of the entire small world using one's own primordial spirit, one must be single-minded. Just now, Xihe separated a wisp of her will to create an illusory spiritual body to communicate with Jiang Liu, which was already extremely difficult. It almost caused the spirit of the energy to break free from the human body's energy and merge with the energy of this world, which caused the energy to fluctuate for a moment.

"Brother Jiang? Where should we look for the thief?"

If the Dinghai Pearl was not stolen by outsiders, then in Lu Jin's mind, the only possibility was "theft by those in charge".

However, it was not appropriate to say this directly in front of Xiao Xi and the mermaid warriors, as causing misunderstandings was a minor issue, but creating conflict was a major one.

As for mental energy scanning—

Out of basic respect for the land of Zhou Tian and the people of Zhou Tian who have lived here throughout the ages, neither Jiang Liu nor Lu Jin would rashly make any moves.

"Based on my senses, the energy of this realm has not fluctuated drastically in the past three days, so the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl must still exist in this small world."

Jiang Liu held up one finger and then asked Xiao Xi for confirmation, "Has the gate to the outside world been opened in the past three days?"

"No."

Xiao Xi denied it.

Jiang Liu raised his second finger and said, "If we rule out the possibility that we outsiders were the culprits, Xiao Xi, who do you think stole the Dinghai Pearl?"

If it wasn't them, then there must be a mole within the organization!

Even though asking this question is still somewhat blunt, the matter is urgent, and there is no time to consider the wording. We must determine the approximate location of the person who stole the Dinghai Pearl.

as predicted.

Xiao Xi frowned, but upon "smelling" the strange fragrance of Daoist energy emanating from Jiang Liu, her primordial spirit cleared a bit. She said, "Just as you said before, if an ordinary person walks around the hall at will, they will inevitably be discovered by the guards; the methods practiced by cultivators are not our Fish Talisman and Dragon Seal. The moment they steal the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, my mother and I will notice and arrive in an instant to kill them on the spot."

The people of Zhou Tian Land are far more efficient at utilizing the Qi formation than Nasen. Born in this world, if they cultivate the Fish Talisman and Dragon Seal to a certain level and then master the corresponding spells, they can transform into fish and swim in the sky, or even cast spells in an instant, which is no big deal.

Judging from Xiao Xi's appearance, she must have known from the beginning that the theft of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl had nothing to do with Jiang Liu and the others!

Considering the possibility that Xihe might disregard the possibility of the spirit of the Qi escaping control, she also needs to construct a spiritual entity to negotiate with herself—

The people here are truly "simple and honest"!

Jiang Liu remained silent.

"All the mermaid warriors in Zhou Tianwang City are loyal and devoted, and there is absolutely no possibility that they would steal the Dinghai Pearl."

"The first ring is the residence of those who have cultivated the Dragon Seal. They are loyal and focused on cultivation, experiencing the changes of the fish and dragon in the universe, and do not rely on external things."

"The Second Ring is the residence of those who cultivate the Fish Talisman. They are all very simple and honest and would not steal."

No one picks up lost items on the road, and doors are left unlocked at night.

The concept of universal harmony is indeed a reality in this vast land.

but--

"If anyone would be tempted to steal, it would be someone living within the Third Ring Road."

The Three Rings refer to the outermost ring of the Earth's sphere.

Although it is a lush green area, like a primeval forest, there are also people living there—outsiders who have "ascended" to the Zhou Tian land.

Because those who "ascended" lacked the simple and kind nature of the original inhabitants of the Zhou Tian region, they were assigned to live in the outermost ring...

# Chapter 760 "Innate Divinity"

Jiang Liu asked, "How many people are there in the Third Ring Road area now?"

Xiao Xi replied, "There is only one person now, called 'Sea King'."

Why are there so few people who "ascend to heaven"?

There are two prerequisites for "ascending" to the heavens.

Firstly, one must cultivate the Fish Talisman and Dragon Seal, which means comprehending the cultivation method from the Fish Talisman left in the outside world, and at least cultivate the Fish Talisman in one's body, so that one can transform into a mermaid when circulating Qi.

Secondly, one must obtain the Eye of the Sahara, that is, the Eye of the Sahara, and use one's own fish-shaped talisman to sense the flow of energy, thereby following its guidance to "ascend to heaven".

Because the ancient Zhou Tian Pillar was broken, the Zhou Tian land has become a legend. More and more cultivators choose to walk in reality, while fewer and fewer people "ascend".

To this day, there is only one "Sea King" in the Three Rings area, and he ascended to heaven a thousand years ago!

"millennium?"

Lu Jin was surprised, "So, that person has lived for over a thousand years?"

"Our people live to be eight hundred years old, but we don't actually die around eight hundred years old. There is a margin of error of three to five hundred years in lifespan."

Xiao Xi, however, looked completely at ease, saying, "It's mainly related to cultivation. If you cultivate the Fish Talisman, your lifespan will be between three hundred and eight hundred years. If you cultivate the Dragon Seal, or rather, if you completely master the Dragon Seal, your lifespan can reach three thousand years."

My mother had already cultivated the Dragon Seal, with a lifespan of three thousand years; she is now two thousand years old.

"this!"

Duanmu Ying's eyes trembled, unable to imagine that Xihe, who looked to be only sixteen years old, was actually two thousand years old, an "old woman" who could be her ancestor.

But Jiang Liu knew it all.

The so-called Fish Talisman and Dragon Seal are derived from the fish and dragon energy patterns of this Zhou Tian land. The process of cultivating this method is the process of achieving "unity of heaven and man" with this small world.

The deeper one's cultivation progresses, the higher the degree of harmony with this world, until finally the human body's energy field merges with the energy field of this world, reaching the realm of "connecting with heaven".

Based on this, the celestial energy system of the universe is used to connect every cell in the human body, so that the cellular energy system generates a directional energy cycle, thereby improving genes and continuously evolving.

During this process, genes evolve and lifespan naturally increases. However, the key to extending lifespan to eight hundred or even three thousand years is the cultivation of the Fish Talisman and Dragon Seal. The human body's energy pattern spontaneously becomes the same as the energy pattern of this world, which greatly reduces the rate at which the innate Qi of the human body is lost. Furthermore, due to the similarity of energy patterns, the human body will remain in its peak state until the lifespan limit is completely reached.

However, Jiang Liu understood why the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls were used to suppress the spirit of the Qi formation.

Once a spirit is formed in a Qi formation, it is like an enlightened spirit. If it is like those spirits in Northeast China, it is easy to cooperate with people and cultivate together.

If you think of using people as resources for your own growth, then you are definitely a demon, and one that ordinary cultivators would find absolutely impossible to deal with.

Furthermore.

Given its immense size and the fact that it has been enlightened, calling it an elf would be an underestimation; it should be called a "primordial deity"!

For example, the sacred tree on Nathan Island became a "spirit," integrating the consciousness of successive Nathan kings and Nathan guards, and dared to call itself a god.

Moreover, this innate celestial formation has become spiritually connected, intelligent, and spiritually potent.

Not to mention the original creators of this Zhou Tian land.

Even Jiang Liu now wouldn't dare guarantee that he would definitely educate this "spirit." The most likely scenario is that he would directly capture and suppress it, and then use it. At that time, he would definitely use the excuse that "this guy isn't human" to convince himself, so that he could use the spirit of the Qi Bureau to control the Qi Bureau itself with a clear conscience, so that his own family members would be healthy and live longer every year.

But Jiang Liu knew in his heart that this road was actually a shortcut—in reality, there were shortcuts to take, and even shortcuts were necessary!

One can take shortcuts in spiritual practice—

They generally lack mental cultivation, meaning they panic and become helpless when faced with something they've never experienced before.

Just like now.

Even though Xihe and Xiaoxi plotted to get Jiang Liu to help them find the Dinghai Pearl, they still couldn't change the fact that they were "naive".

Being calculating and being naive are not mutually exclusive.

If Jiang Liu were Xihe, he wouldn't be in such a hurry. Instead, he would first use his own aura to suppress the spirit of the aura, and then order Xiao Xi to secretly investigate.

After all, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl is crucial to the stability of the Zhou Tian region. Such an important item being lost and then revealed to a group of outside treasure-hunting "explorers"...

Who knows if some of these "explorers" will take advantage of the chaos, or even cause all sorts of unforeseen and impossible situations to occur, ultimately leading to the true end of Zhou Tian!
