From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

But Jiang Liu's discerning eyes saw it clearly.

Golden light—

still exists.

But it's no longer dazzling! Instead, it has transformed into pure white, and it no longer presents that intimidating appearance, but has blended into every inch of its body!

Its entire body shone brightly, and thunder roared within!

The so-called:

The Great Way is formless!

Great sound!

This is the state Zhang Zhiwei has reached at this moment!

in this way.

Lu Jin and Zhang Zhiwei have both reached their strongest state, but one has transformed from the original white Qi into the current golden light, while the other has transformed from the original golden light into the current invisible white light.

"it is good!"

Lu Jin laughed heartily, his voice carrying for dozens of miles, like a thunderclap. With each breath, his body moved with the Qi, his body and the field swirling together, so fast that it seemed as if time itself had stood still.

"If I don't learn from you, I'll really lose."

As Zhang Zhiwei finished speaking, a wave rippled around him, emanating an aura that seemed to originate from ancient humans shouting to the sky in the wilderness. He then transformed into a streak of light and clashed head-on with Lu Jin!

In an instant!

The interplay of gold and white created a vacuum, and the ripples spread outwards, shaking the hills below. This caused the lush trees, exotic flowers, and rare herbs covering the hillsides to collapse, just like dandelions picked by children, which, with a gentle breath, detach from their stalks and drift away.

Fortunately, there was no one on that hill or within 200 meters of it, otherwise they would have had no chance of survival.

Subsequently, a force field erupted and spread to the hill below, and in a short while, it cut a ravine several meters wide from top to bottom into the hundred-meter-high hill, forming the spectacular "Skyline".

Then, another bolt of lightning shot out and struck the stream flowing through the town, creating a large opening about ten meters wide.

Fortunately, the townspeople saw two "divine beings" fighting on the distant mountain, making a continuous rumbling sound. They stopped their business and ran home to hide in their cellars. Otherwise, someone would have been injured!

# Chapter 965 Unlocking the Gene Lock

"Is that even human?!"

Everyone felt the fierce wind and was horrified. Even those who had witnessed Jiang Liu and Zhang Zhiwei's fight at the martial arts tournament were speechless with astonishment.

They can understand why Zhang Zhiwei has grown to this level in just a few years.

But how could Lu Jin possibly reach that level?

Could it be because he cultivated himself by following the river's flow?

"Okay?"

"If the fighting continues, it will really start to bleed."

Landing on the east side of that "narrow strip of sky," Zhang Zhiwei, panting, withdrew his Qi and suggested that they call it a day.

Meanwhile, Lu Jin, panting heavily, deactivated the third and second stages of his gene lock. He plopped down on the cliff to the right of "A Line of Sky," wiping the sweat from his body and exhaling. He gave Zhang Zhiwei a thumbs up and said, "Awesome! You've activated your gene lock too?"

"Gene lock? Right, I remember Jiang Liu mentioned it to me back in the Ghost Realm."

Zhang Zhiwei chuckled, scratching his head. "At first, I thought this power was heretical, a complete risk to one's life in battle. But now, facing you who have unlocked your genetic potential, I can only rely on the feeling I had when I clashed palms with Zheng Zha to further enhance my power. I've discovered that although this path consumes innate Qi, it seems to allow me to feel true vitality and resonate with my will..."

and so.

Thanks!

"The Gene Lock is not a cultivation method, but I accept it!"

Seeing this, Lu Jin was speechless. He steadied his breathing, got up, and said, "In terms of fighting, I have no way to beat you. But if you want to beat Brother Jiang, with your current cultivation level, I can only give you three words: Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!"

"is it?"

Zhang Zhiwei didn't take it seriously. "Has he already cultivated that Golden Core and Sacred Embryo?"

“In fact, according to Brother Jiang’s latest research on the Great Vehicle Method of Golden Core and Sacred Embryo, everyone has it. The difference lies only in whether one can control it through cultivation and mind-cultivation. One’s body and mind are the Golden Core, and the energy pattern of the body and mind is the Sacred Embryo. If one imprints one’s will and mind onto the Sacred Embryo, one can have one’s primordial spirit leave the body and merge with heaven and earth.” Lu Jin did not hide anything and explained the concept of the Great Vehicle Method of Golden Core and Sacred Embryo.

Simply because the other party is Zhang Zhiwei!

"Wow! This concept really does follow the laws of heaven and earth." Zhang Zhiwei had also learned about Jiang Liu's concept of the Golden Elixir and Sacred Embryo. In short, it is about harmonizing the physical and mental landscapes (inner landscape) to refine essence, energy, and spirit, and forge a sacred embryo within the body.

I never expected that in such a short time, he would have perfected the Golden Core and Holy Embryo path... no, he should have opened up another direction.

Just outrageous!

“Brother Zhiwei, if you could go to heaven once, you would understand as well.” Lu Jin revealed a mysterious smile.

"Heaven?"

Zhang Zhiwei was puzzled.

“What I mean is, looking down at Earth from the vastness of space... you know that the world we live in is physically a sphere, right?” Lu Jin put it more clearly.

"know."

While on Longhu Mountain, Zhang Zhiwei was unaware that the world was a sphere. However, after descending the mountain and joining the Gongpai sect, he learned a great deal about Western knowledge, broadened his horizons, and gained new insights, thus realizing that the world truly is a sphere.

And Lu Jin said this—

"The West has already been able to manufacture iron lumps that can send people into space?" Zhang Zhiwei thought of a possibility, and his pupils suddenly widened.

"In fact, Brother Jiang is already capable of physically traversing the vacuum universe."

It was only 1928, and no matter how advanced Western science was, it was still impossible to build a manned rocket.

Therefore, Lu Jin did not answer, but instead stated another fact.

"This is even more outrageous than foreigners building manned spacecraft!" Zhang Zhiwei exclaimed, but he quickly calmed down and laughed, "However, it's not entirely impossible!"

After the two rested for a while and their Qi had recovered, one rode on clouds and the other rode on golden light, and they returned to the forest in an instant.

"Master."

Zhang Zhiwei bowed to Zhang Jingqing.

"Father, Great-Grandfather."

Lu Jin bowed to Lu Xuan and Old Master Lu.

now.

The crowd finally came to their senses and looked at the two as if they were gods, not ordinary mortals.

Indeed.

Both are essentially human beings.

But what's the difference between someone with such power and magic that can stir up storms and destroy forests and mountains and the legendary immortals?

The Lu family is about to rise to prominence!

The guests from the Wang, Lü, and Gao families all sighed inwardly, pondering how to interact with the Lu family in the future, or perhaps—

Hire someone to assassinate Lu Jin?

However, this idea was immediately rejected by the current heads of the Lü and Wang families. It would not only offend the Lu family, but also the Sanyi Sect and the Confucian Society.

In particular, Jiang Liu, the chairman of the Confucian Society, looks kind and gentle, and is quite worldly-wise, but he is the one who is least willing to compromise.

Daring to annihilate the heroes of the outlaw world!

Dare to kill the city's tyrant!

Even warlords and Guo Wengui faction members dared to cause trouble for the Confucian Association, and the association was truly willing to take their heads off.

and also!

If Lu Jin is already this powerful, how strong is Jiang Liu now?

No one can guarantee that!

"Jiang Liu, shall we play a game?"

Zhang Zhiwei challenged Jiang Liu to a duel, saying, "I want to see just how far you've come! And let me also witness your Golden Core and Sacred Embryo cultivation!"

"Zhang Zhiwei! Don't do anything reckless!" Zhang Jingqing stopped him.

"Let's have a match! Let's have a match!" But Old Master Lu was unwilling to miss the opportunity to watch a good show. "Although my good grandson can fly through the clouds and has the strength to split mountains, this old man's eyes are very sharp. He is clearly still a step behind your precious disciple... Old Master, are you afraid that your disciple will lose?"

Why would I care about winning or losing?

Zhang Jingqing hurriedly said, "My good-for-nothing disciple's sparring with Lu Jin alone has already cleaved a line through that mountain. If he were to compete with President Jiang, he might just collapse that mountain."

"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! It's not like it's some kind of auspicious land anyway. If it collapses, we can just farm it!"

Grandpa Lu laughed heartily and cupped his hands towards Jiang Liu, saying, "President Jiang, would you mind letting this old man witness your divine skills again?"

Consider it fulfilling this old man's wish.

I was a practitioner in my youth, but now that I'm this age, my lifespan is nearing its end, my body is frail, and I can no longer fully utilize my cultivation. However, I still aspire to reach higher realms.

"Fine!"

Seeing that Old Master Lu had put it this way, Jiang Liu couldn't refuse and agreed.

“Alright, shall we go to that ‘One Line Sky’ cliff?” Zhang Zhiwei turned around, about to leap into the golden light, but was stopped by Jiang Liu.

Why go there?

"How could Old Master Lu see clearly from such a distance?"

"Furthermore, that 'narrow passage' is perfect; it allows for ventilation, making the feng shui of this place three times better than before. If it were leveled, it wouldn't be so beautiful."

Upon hearing this, everyone let out a long hiss—the river had already acquired the supernatural power to move mountains and fill seas?

"Where are we going? If it's too far, Grandpa Lu won't be able to keep up."

Zhang Zhiwei was puzzled.

"Let's do it here!"
