From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Jin Ge brought up his daughter again, echoing Yagata's sentiments.

"This is indeed a resort destination."

Although Zu Bo was somewhat dejected, considering Jiang Liu's intentions, he still chose to change himself. However, the most important reason was that what Ya Jiata said was true: if they could help Xi He find clues about the theft and retrieve the Dinghai Pearl, then they might be able to gain the right to freely enter and leave this strange world.

Furthermore.

Her ability is spatial teleportation. If she could stay in this place for a long time and truly learn the cultivation methods of the Zhou Tian Di, it might be able to resolve the side effects such as dizziness and shortness of breath that occur after she uses her ability.

Ango also said, "That is indeed a good idea."

Jax was speechless. He could only take Ango's hand and say, "Alright, you guys go ahead and play detective. Ango and I will look for clues in a real detective way."

But Ango withdrew his hand, dodging Jax, and said in a weak but firm tone, "Um, I actually want to team up with Zubo?"

"What?"

Jax was stunned, his face filled with astonishment. "Why?"

"People change, you fool."

Before Ango could answer, Zubo stepped forward, grabbed Ango's hand, and winked at Jax with a hint of mockery.

Jax remained stunned until Zubo and Ango disappeared from sight, at a loss for what to do when he looked at his empty hand that he had raised.

Snapped!

Just then, Jagata placed her hand in his palm and said, "If you don't mind, we can be a team."

"what?"

Jax paused again, shook off Jagata's hand, and said disdainfully, "I'm a fun person, not someone who's compatible with a nice guy like you. Besides, aren't you on Jin Ge's team?"

"Jin Ge wants to be on his own team, so it's just a matter of me being on your team."

Jagata paused for a moment, then instead of expressing concern for Jax, said, "Since you look down on my detective methods, why don't you show me how you actually do it? Or are you just talking big?"

"I'm not bragging!"

Even knowing that Agatha was trying to provoke him, Jax wasn't willing to be looked down upon, so he reluctantly accepted the fact that he was teamed up with Agatha...

···

The Third Ring Road.

As far as the eye could see, there was only lush greenery, but not a single person in sight.

Xiao Xi led the way, with Jiang Liu and his group following behind. They passed through the cypress grove and bamboo path, and arrived at a cliff overlooking the sea.

The cliff face, battered by the sea, appears uneven, yet it feels remarkably smooth to the touch, giving it a warm, jade-like texture. In front of the cliff is a cave, deep and secluded, yet light shines through, suggesting that someone may live there.

The person inside the cave seemed to sense the arrival of Jiang Liu and the others, and stepped out. He was an old man, bare-chested, with hair and beard, but a strong body. His whole body was covered with blue patterns, which seemed to form a pattern that resembled a fish or a dragon, and emitted a faint fluorescence.

But what's most striking are his eyes. Unlike the typical black pupils and white irises of ordinary people, his eyes are black with white pupils, and black energy flows within them. Even without actively circulating his energy, his aura causes the surrounding air to gradually distort.

"That guy!"

Lu Jin's hair stood on end, and he unconsciously raised his Qi, staring intently at the person opposite him. He felt that the other person was not human, but a demon from the Netherworld, or a ferocious beast that crawled out of the abyss, as if he was about to attack at any moment.

"what?"

The man glanced at Lu Jin, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "It's really rare to see someone from outside who can cultivate to this level."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over the others, but it lingered on Jiang Liu, and she blurted out unconsciously, "Jiang Liu?!"

"Ok?"

Xiao Xi's eyes changed, and with a flick of her jade arm, the mermaid warriors who had come with them immediately surrounded the man. "You couldn't possibly know about 'Jiang Liu'! Who exactly are you?"

The man simply sighed, glanced at Xiao Xi, then looked at Jiang Liu, and said, "I had planned everything, but I never expected you to appear!"

That's what gave me away...

Are you someone who has lived from ancient times to the present? Or were you reborn from his essence? Or perhaps you are his descendant?

Jiang Liu seemed to be deep in thought, stroking his chin as he asked, "Is there a difference?"

"If you've lived from ancient times to the present, then I won't resist."

After saying this, the man pointed at Evelyn and said, "If you are like her, and your life is similar to a cycle of reincarnation, then you are not the same person, and I do not need to respect you."

If you are his descendant, I will spare your life in consideration of his contributions to spreading the path of cultivation and establishing the Zhou Tian realm in ancient times.

"Then I must have lived from ancient times to the present... right?" Jiang Liu chuckled, extending a finger and hooking it downwards, his eyes mocking. "Surrender now."

"hehe."

The man sneered, not believing it, assuming it was the second or third possibility. He grabbed the wrist of the merman warrior who reached out, and with a twist and a tug, tore off the merman warrior's arm in the blink of an eye and threw it aside.

"Sea King! Hand over the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl!"

Xiao Xi's face darkened with anger, but he also recognized the opponent's strength. He ordered the other warriors to retreat and wait outside, while he lightly touched the sand and instantly arrived in front of the Sea King. A shockwave erupted from his body, and he swung out a leg, creating a thousand layers of air waves that surged like a tsunami, covering the Sea King's face.

The latter merely bowed slightly, twisted his waist, and dodged the attack at the last second. His right hand transformed into a claw, and he reached out to grab Xiao Xi's ankle.

Swah——

Xiao Xi reacted quickly, his meridians and acupoints trembling as he formed a dragon talisman, emitting a dragon's roar. His body transformed into a cloud of qi mist, breaking free from the Sea King's restraints and floating in mid-air. He transformed into a white dragon, eight zhang long, covered in white scales, with its mane flowing like clouds.

Just as the wind follows the tiger and the clouds follow the dragon, Xiao Xi transformed into a white dragon. His human energy and the energy of this world were in harmony. He borrowed the power of the universe for his own use. With a roar, he could summon the wind in the sky, and with a roll, he could stir up the waves in the sea.

But the Sea King was not afraid. He chuckled and formed a talisman with his Qi. His lower body transformed into a long snake, while his upper body remained human, covered with a layer of red dragon scales. His hands also transformed into dragon claws, his red hair danced without wind, and his figure grew to nine zhang tall!

His personal aura is also connected to the aura of this world, and every move he makes has great power, stirring up wind and clouds in the sky and causing the sea to surge.

Unable to withstand its aura, Eliwan and Siwon had no choice but to prostrate themselves on the ground, trying their best to stabilize the magic within them and daring not to move rashly.

Lu Jin also took three or five steps back before he could stop, trying his best to stabilize the nine orifices and eight meridians in his body, and was horrified.

Evelyn and Duanmu Ying, however, were protected by Jiang Liu. They only felt that the wind was a bit strong, but they were still able to open their eyes and see.

"Human body, snake tail, red hair—"

"You are a descendant of Gonggong!?"

The white dragon that Xiao Xi had transformed into trembled in its eyes, a look of horror appearing on its face. "Was the test back then wrong?"

"I am Gonggong!"

# Chapter 763 Jiang Liu VS Gong Gong

"Gonggong? Impossible!"

Xiao Xi roared, twisted his dragon body, gathered wind and clouds, and charged towards Gonggong.

What a great killing!

But we see:

With the body of a dragon and the form of a true dragon, they fought fiercely with immense divine power.

On one side was Xihe, the woman who had cultivated the Dragon Seal; on the other was Gonggong, who cultivated both fish and dragon. Initially, the battlefield was in the sky, but later it plunged into the sea, stirring up surging waves. Exhaling wind, the dragon god unleashed its might, its power rising high; spewing water, Gonggong roared angrily towards the heavens.

The wind sweeps across, souls return to the underworld, waters gush forth, destined to meet Yama, the King of Hell. Both sides rely entirely on their sharp claws and swift movements, each cultivating abundant qi and a strong body. The two sides fight to the death, it's unknown who will emerge unscathed and who will be wounded!

After thirty rounds of fighting, Xiao Xi and Gong Gong were evenly matched. Just as Xiao Xi was about to unleash his power again, Gong Gong seized the opportunity, grabbed the dragon's tail, and swung it around with great force.

boom!

The eight-zhang-long dragon body was slammed into the Three Rings Forest, knocking down countless pale green bamboos and stirring up a cloud of dust, making Lu Jin and his group's hearts pound with fear.

"Brother Jiang, it seems like I can't get involved in this kind of battle!" Lu Jin wiped the sweat from his forehead, casually flicked it away, and opened his mouth, somewhat annoyed by his weak strength.

"You stay here and watch over Sister Mu Ying and Teacher Evelyn. I'll go take a look." As soon as Jiang Liu finished speaking, he leaped into the air and instantly arrived at the place filled with smoke and dust.

Amidst the smoke and dust, the dragon form receded, coalescing into Xiao Xi's original form, which lay on the ground, its entire body covered in bruises. Although it was recovering at a visible speed, it was still consuming its energy, causing its face to turn pale.

Gonggong transformed from a nine-zhang-long body into a one-zhang-long one. With a flick of his snake tail, he strangled Xiaoxi by the neck, lifted her up, and grinned, saying, "See? I'm right! You cultivate fish talismans and dragon seals, first cultivating fish talismans and then dragon seals. How can you compare to my simultaneous cultivation of fish and dragon?"

I am the rightful heir!

"You should have died long ago!" Xiao Xi said in disbelief, her face flushed red from being strangled, yet she still stared intently at Gonggong.

"Death? What a joke! Do you think that when I smashed the Pillar of Heaven back then, I really only broke that pillar? How naive!"

Gonggong sneered and tightened the reins on the snake's tail.

Just as Xiao Xi was about to suffocate, a blade of energy slashed through the air, severing the snake's tail.

"call--"

Sensing the snake's tail loosen, Xiao Xi took a breath, circulating her Qi throughout her body. She immediately turned back, distancing herself from Gonggong. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Jiang Liu emerging from the bushes not far away and warned, "Be careful, this guy is very strong. His cultivation is definitely not inferior to my mother's!"

"understood."

Jiang Liu remained calm, his eyes showing no emotion, and looked Gonggong up and down, asking, "I heard what you just said, Gonggong, did you possess the Sea King?"

The "Sea King" ascended to the Zhou Tian Land a thousand years ago, so he is most likely the shaman of the tribe that guards the Eye of the Desert.

It was just that Gonggong possessed its body.

For spirits and ghosts to possess a human body, it involves the thirteen acupoints of the human body. However, to seize a body, it is not enough for the soul to occupy the primordial spirit; it also requires occupying the nine innate acupoints of the human body.

Only in this way can the possessed body completely merge with one's own Qi, without any sense of disharmony.

There are two reasons why Gonggong was able to possess this body.

one.

When Gonggong angrily struck the pillar of the Zhou Dynasty, he probably entrusted his innate Qi, which contained the information of his life, to the Zhou Qi system.

In this way, the essence of its life can remain in the world forever.

Secondly.

If someone cultivates the same method as him, causing the nine orifices in his body to resonate with it, then he can naturally inhabit that person's body.

The current situation is very clear.

The method comprehended by the shaman who "ascended" to the Zhou Tian land a thousand years ago was the Gonggong method, which resembled a fish, a human, and a dragon, rather than the fish talisman and dragon seal that resembled a fish and a dragon.

Therefore, the more he cultivated, the more obvious the resonance between the nine orifices in his body and the primordial Qi originating from Gonggong that merged into this place became.
