From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

This is precisely in accordance with the laws of Heaven and Earth!

With its overwhelming aura alone, it distorted space, and the hundred-foot-high raging waves from all directions resisted it, making it impossible for them to get any closer.

"impossible!"

Above the raging waves, a face appeared—it was Gonggong. He transmitted his voice through breath and his thoughts through mind, resounding in the river's ears: "In ancient times, you did not possess such supernatural powers!"

"Times have changed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Liu chuckled and his body swayed—

Within the physical realm, the twelve meridians trembled slightly, positive and negative emotions combined, and boundless divine light erupted; within the mental realm, the twelve pillars of the celestial sphere swelled in the wind, supporting the sky.

But the hundred-zhang-tall Dharma image grew even taller!

Three hundred zhang!

Six hundred zhang!

Nine hundred feet!

It only stopped growing when it reached a thousand feet!

Having previously learned about Jin Ge's method of expanding the human body's structure based on the twelve primary meridians, and with Jiang Liu's understanding of the Twelve Emotional Array and the acquisition of the Fish-Dragon Talisman, he comprehended the source of "Zhen" (tremor). He then integrated the vibrations generated by the life activities of all the body's cells to harmonize the positive and negative emotional energies of the twelve primary meridians, triggering the resonance of Qi and blood, thus establishing another body array—

The twelve primary meridians govern the positive and negative emotions of a person.

Positive emotions manifest as divine power, while negative emotions manifest as malevolent energy. Divine power and malevolent energy circulate and transform into each other based on the twelve meridians, which also correspond to the twelve two-hour periods of the day, following the flow of Qi through the meridians, thus aligning with the entire day.

All day is the same as the whole day.

Therefore, this formation is also known by Jiang Liu as the "Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation"!

The thousand-foot-tall Dharma image stood there, its divine power and malevolent aura swirling around it. With its sheer might, it shattered the raging waves, dispelled the mist, and swept away the chilling clouds that filled the sky.

Gonggong was terrified, but he also realized that the river could grow to a thousand feet high because of the fish talisman and dragon seal method—could he really be wrong?

"No! Absolutely not!"

"How can human strength compare to the universe? Only by embracing the universe within oneself and achieving innate divinity can one succeed!"

Gonggong was unwilling to give up. With his nine-zhang tall body, he withstood the pressure and charged towards the thousand-zhang mountain, wanting to once again "angrily strike the heavens".

The river flow did not stop it, allowing it to crash into it, unleashing a roaring sound and forming a monstrous wave that swept across the sky.

River Flow —

All is well!

Gonggong crashed into the wall, his head bleeding profusely, and was thrown back by the recoil. Yet, he still stared angrily at Jiang Liu with wide eyes.

"The human body is a universe, and the unity of heaven and man is the law of the universe."

The magnificent sound resonated in Gonggong's mind, causing his eyes to glaze over. "The way of cultivation lies in learning from heaven and earth, being in harmony with nature and being one with the Dao, rather than truly plundering the power of heaven and earth and incorporating it into one's own body. That is a dead end."

# Chapter 767 Evelyn's talent finally came into play

Was I wrong?

The magnificent sound reverberated, and Gonggong's consciousness was momentarily dazed, as if he had returned to the past, where he saw his former self, Zhuanxu, and others, including Zhurong, Jumang, and Rushou, all listening to the lecture under the river.

Jiang Liu said, "The path of cultivation lies in applying magic naturally, in following what is easy, and in having no attachment in one's mind..."

"In the universe, mountains and oceans are eternal. We have absorbed the essence of heaven and earth into our bodies, so why should we change things as they come?" Little Gonggong interrupted, asking.

Jiang Liu said, "Life and death are predetermined, and the universe has its own order. If one were to absorb the entire universe into one's body, one would also sever one's future, which is not advisable."

I created the four continents solely for the convenience of humankind, but I forgot that the time was not yet ripe, and I overlooked that the evolution of heaven and earth was not yet complete. The center of the universe is not in the Western Continent of Aparagodaniya, but in the Southern Continent of Jambudvipa…”

Little Gonggong ignored the latter part of the statement and was only interested in the eternal way: "Is it true that humans cannot live forever?"

Jiang Liu replied, "No."

Xiao Gonggong then asked, "Then why does the river flow eternally?"

Jiang Liu replied, "It is only because I follow the laws of Heaven and Earth and understand the principle of birth and death. Death leads to birth, and birth leads to death. Therefore, Gonggong, do not mislead yourself. If you go astray, when the time comes, if Heaven does not take you away, I will take you away myself!"

Little Gonggong: "..."

Back to reality, Gonggong opened his eyes and looked at the overwhelming fist, which was far away yet right in front of him. It had already locked onto him, leaving him nowhere to hide or avoid it. He could only take it head-on!

He murmured, "Heaven and earth have their cycles, only the easy remains constant; life and death are predetermined, but my heart is unchanging—"

end!

I have absorbed the entire universe into myself, my physical form is eternal, but my heart remains stagnant. Ten thousand years have passed, yet my understanding of cultivation remains exactly the same as it was ten thousand years ago.

You——

Yet it already resembles the heavens and the earth!

So, have you taken me in?

However, Gonggong refused to surrender and laughed loudly, "Then let's prove it! Hahaha!"

In an instant, Gonggong burned all the energy in his body and, with the help of the surrounding Qi, gathered it into one, turning his entire body into a stream of light that crashed into the fist!

hum!

With a single punch, the flowing light instantly dissipated.

How can human power shake nature?

The moment he was commanded to join the cause, Jiang Liu was startled, sensing the other's intention, but he didn't hesitate for a moment. Light of the Mind - Huiyuan! Activate!

Observing the principles of matter and energy transformation, the light covered every cell, gene, and even the most fundamental primordial Qi of Gonggong's entire body.

In an instant, Gonggong's body, energy, and information vanished without a trace, and there was no possibility of resurrection.

However, the punch was too powerful, shattering space and causing the sky to collapse, turning into a massive cloud that slammed into Jiang Liu's head.

The cloud was formless and intangible, yet powerful, shaking the river and the heavens, making his head spin. He involuntarily withdrew from the state of "manifesting the heavens and the earth," returning to his human form. He lay sprawled on the ground, panting heavily, thinking to himself, "I can't make vows so carelessly in the future. I never thought this 'heaven' would actually hit me on the head!"

"You're completely out of energy right now, aren't you?"

Ansuna, holding a dagger, slowly walked up to Jiang Liu, squatted down, raised the dagger high, aimed it at his heart, and forcefully stabbed him.

At this moment, due to the river's imposing power, the pyramid was completely deserted, both inside and outside. Even Xihe, after regaining some strength, transformed into a mermaid and swam towards the first ring of land.

Just as the dagger was about to pierce Jiang Liu's heart, it stopped three inches away. No matter how hard Ansuona tried, it could not go any further.

It was all because a person's magnetic field had entangled the dagger!

On the inner side of the ring, along the shore of the circular lake, Lu Jin used one hand to create a magnetic barrier to block the Death Shooter's bullets, while simultaneously releasing a magnetic field that spanned several miles across the circular lake, precisely controlling the dagger in Ansuna's hand, and then flicking it.

Snapped!

Ansuna was flung against the wall and fell, completely disoriented.

“Lu Jin, you focus on dealing with these traitors and send me there,” Evelyn said. “I’ll go protect Jiang Liu. And that Ansuna, I don’t like her.”

"it is good."

Lu Jin was equally decisive. Using his magnetic field to bind Evelyn, he swung his arm and sent Evelyn across the several-mile-wide circular lake. Meanwhile, he focused on dealing with the Death Shooter, the Puppet, and those who chose to take advantage of the chaos!

Evelyn arrived at the pyramid, quickly walked to Jiang Liu's side, and stood guard, her eyes fixed on Ansuana, who was slowly rising and holding a dagger: "With me here, don't even think about hurting my student!"

"Ha, Evelyn, it's time to put an end to our ill-fated relationship!" Ansuna also focused all her attention on Evelyn.

Seeing that the other party had a dagger, Evelyn glanced around but didn't find any weapons. Just as she was about to bite the bullet and go for it, she saw Jiang Liu forcefully raise his hand and hand her another dagger, saying, "Vampire's Touch, an excellent dagger."

Evelyn did not slack off either. She took the Vampire's Touch, confronted Ansuna for a short while, and then stepped forward first, slashing out with a dagger.

Ansuna dodged the dagger close to the blade, a cold smile playing on her lips, and seized the opportunity to slash at Evelyn's arm.

Hiss!

The sleeve was torn, and a wound appeared on the left forearm. Blood stained the cuff, turning it red.

Evelyn, however, paid no attention. She simply stared at Ansuna, pacing back and forth, searching for her opponent's weakness, before unleashing another dagger strike.

This time, Ansuna couldn't dodge in time and her right arm was cut. The smile on her face disappeared, replaced by a gloomy expression.

Neither of them were cultivators; they only knew martial arts and were not familiar with Qi cultivation. They were fighting based on their memories from their "past lives." However, after a successful attack, Evelyn discovered that the flesh and blood in her left arm wound were wriggling and rapidly healing!

This is the effect of the Vampire's Touch: it allows one to absorb the power of others to replenish their own strength! Even if Ansuana doesn't cultivate, Qi, the fundamental energy of human life, still exists within her body!

Given this shift in power dynamics, Evelyn has a very high probability of winning.

Ansuna noticed Evelyn's wound healing, her eyes narrowed, and she realized the effect of the Vampire's Touch. She grabbed Evelyn's wrist and rolled into the pyramid with her.

The outside terrain is open and unsuitable for combat, so we must enter the palace.

Afterwards, Ansu-na used the stone pillars supporting the pyramid and her agility to circle around Evelyn, inflicting wounds on her body in an attempt to wear her down.

Although Evelyn possessed the Vampire's Touch and inflicted some wounds on Ansuna, using her life force to heal her own injuries, she was ultimately an "archaeologist," not a true warrior or assassin. Gradually, she succumbed to her attacks, leaning against a swaying stone pillar weakened by the power of the River Flow Law, panting as she shouted, "Is all you can do is sneak attacks?"

"The victor owns everything!" Ansuna sprang from behind a nearby pillar and slashed a dagger toward Evelyn's throat.

This is the final blow!

Evelyn panicked and pressed down on the stone pillar with a little force, causing it to collapse. She lost her balance and narrowly avoided Ansuna's dagger.

Boom!

The collapsed stone pillar crashed into another stone pillar, and like dominoes, it crashed into a third stone pillar.

Evelyn reacted quickly and ran towards the exit. Ansuna tried to follow, but a stone pillar collapsed in front of her, blocking her way.

"Do not--"

# Chapter 768 Back to Reality

The pyramid was teetering on the brink of collapse. Sensing this, the river outside stopped pretending to be dead, straightened its back nimbly, and extended a magnetic field to bind Evelyn, taking her to the outermost perimeter of Zhou Tianwang City.

Boom!

In an instant, a loud bang resounded throughout the sky, and smoke rose into the clouds, turning into a mushroom cloud that rolled outwards.

With the little strength he had regained, Jiang Liu took a breath and blew a gust of wind toward the southeast direction just as the smoke was about to reach him.
