From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Zhang Huaiyi didn't understand, then his pupils shrank. He saw that the lightning that made up the irregular lightning prison was no longer under his control. It kept drilling into the ring-shaped magnetic field and was twisted into a lightning bolt as thick as a fist.

"boom!"

The lightning bolt erupted instantly, so fast that Zhang Huaiyi barely had time to react before he was struck by his own lightning technique, his whole body trembling.

As the lightning dissipated, Zhang Huaiyi, his body charred black, lay stiffly on the ground, wisps of white smoke rising from his body.

Zhang Jingqing: "???"

The leader of Maoshan Sect: "!!!"

The leaders and disciples of other sects were all astonished and confused, unable to understand what kind of evil... unknown magic the Red Girl had used to be able to control the Zhengyi sect's thunder magic and return it to them.

Is it only possible to control Yang Lei?

Or is it that it can even manipulate the true Five Thunder Orthodox Method?

Seeing everyone's confusion, Jiang Liu explained, "Don't be surprised, everyone. What Miss Hong just used was still the reverse of the eight directions of human magnetism, not some new method. It was just an application of the rules of physics."

"Physical rules?"

Zhang Jingqing suddenly realized that Jiang Liu seemed to have used a similar method during the ceremony when Ghost Hand King withdrew from Quanxing. "Science from the West?"

"Yes."

With the power of primordial energy, Jiang Liu raised both hands, his left hand emitting wisps of white lightning, and his right hand setting up a series of magnetic fields.

As the magnetic field on the right side rotated into a ring and began to turn clockwise, the chaotic lightning on the left side seemed to be drawn together, converging and passing through the ring.

Everyone was incredulous at the sight of this miraculous scene.

The violent and uncontrollable lightning magic actually converged into one under the influence of the human magnetism, and obeyed Jiang Liu's command.

Could it be that human magnetism is the nemesis of lightning magic?

"Western scientists have discovered a physical phenomenon: electromagnetism is inseparable."

"Electric energy generates magnetism, and magnetism generates electricity. If you rotate clockwise, the electricity flows from left to right; if you rotate counterclockwise, the current flows from right to left."

"Electricity has an electric field, and magnetism has a magnetic field. The two are inseparable and will always remain perpendicular in spacetime! This is at least the reality we live in; it is an inviolable law!"

"Although the thunder and magnetism we construct with Qi are somewhat different from natural lightning and magnetic fields, their properties are the same. Therefore, the physical law that electromagnetism is inseparable also applies."

None of the Taoists present were fools. After Jiang Liu's explanation, they instantly understood why Miss Hong could so easily control the thunder magic released by Zhang Huaiyi.

So, as long as the human magnetism flows in a circular pattern in a certain direction, the power of thunder can be drawn!

This is an application of the laws of nature!

Taking this opportunity, Jiang Liu continued, "The path of Qi cultivation is diverse in the world of supernatural beings, with each having its own way of cultivation. Perhaps in the end they will all arrive at the same destination, but because of the different focuses, it looks a little messy overall, without a specific standard."

The goal of the Confucian Association in this regard is to adopt the Western 'scientific' methods, to re-examine the principles of Qi cultivation, and to summarize, generalize, and establish a tangible and systematic framework.

be honest.

Most of the leaders and disciples of the various Zhengyi sects present also agreed with Jiang Liu's concept.

Not to mention the entire Taoism, even within the various branches of the Zhengyi Xuanmen, there are many different ways of cultivation! Although they do indeed achieve the same goal through different paths, emphasizing essence, qi, and spirit, the distinction between life cultivation and spiritual cultivation is extremely blurred... Of course, this is also because the difference in physical fitness among normal people is not significant, and for those who can cultivate qi, the level of cultivation is not the key to determining the outcome of a battle.

However, it is indeed necessary to establish a relatively standardized system for cultivation levels.

In the past.

Taoism, Buddhism, and even Confucianism all tried to establish a set of standards, but none of the three would submit to the others. Moreover, the talented individuals within their own sects all wanted to establish their own schools and create new ones. As a result, even today, the division of realms among cultivators remains vague, and is only generally summarized as "cultivation of nature and life."

The "states" such as "spiritual clarity and inner restraint" and "emptiness of the five aggregates" are general summaries of a person's cultivation of life and experience of life to a certain stage, without specific quantitative standards.

And the future—

Can the Confucian Association succeed?

None of the Taoists present knew the truth, but they understood one thing: the Confucian Association had defeated the Zhengyi Association in this exchange, and they would have to obey the orders of the Confucian Association in the future. At the very least, if the Confucian Association took any action and happened to pass by their Taoist temple, they would have the right to order them to take action.

"Hopefully, we made the right choice."

Zhang Jingqing sighed inwardly, then steeled her spirits and looked directly at Jiang Liu, "Tell me, what do you need us to do? Cooperate with the Gong faction to attack the Guo faction?"

"There's no rush for now."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu smiled and held up one finger, "The first thing to do is to take care of family matters."

"Family?"

Zhang Jingqing was dumbfounded.

"Isn't the Gong faction redistributing land? My suggestion is that you first take stock of your respective family property and land, and return it to the tenant farmers down the mountain ahead of schedule."

In an instant.

The entire audience erupted in uproar!

But upon closer reflection, Jiang Liu's words were not without reason. If they returned the land to the farmers, they might gain further trust from the people at the foot of the mountain, and they could also get help from the Confucian Association to get through the period when they could no longer collect grain from the tenant farmers.

But what if we wait for the people sent by Gong to arrive—

Then they really can only make a living by collecting incense money, setting up fortune-telling stalls, and subduing some monsters and bandits who cause trouble near the village.

"Does the Celestial Master find this difficult?"

Jiang Liu sighed, "Then let it go. Eleven matches are hardly enough to convince the Celestial Master."

How could Zhang Jingqing not sense Jiang Liu's feigned indifference?

If it were someone else, they might have simply "taken the opportunity" and agreed to the offer.

But who is Zhang Jingqing?

The 64th Celestial Master!

They had been preparing for this martial arts competition for more than half a year, and had invited the leaders and best disciples of various sects to come.

If they don't acknowledge it—

Many people might be quite happy.

There is no need to return the land to the people.

But where does he put his face as a Taoist master?

Moreover.

The real reason he had to make a choice was because of these two "troublesome" people, Zhang Enpu and Zhang Zhiwei—for the sake of the Celestial Master's Mansion's inheritance! Did he even have a choice?

So he could only glare fiercely at Jiang Liu, who was acting innocent despite getting the better deal, and mutter to himself, "Ghost Hand King picked up a good son," before righteously proclaiming, "A bet is a bet. Chairman Jiang, don't underestimate me. It's just dividing up land. It's nothing."

"The Celestial Master is truly magnificent!"

Jiang Liu praised the gesture and said that he would send people over within the next six months to measure the amount of land held by each sect of the Zhengyi sect, determine which land should be returned to the people and which could be kept, and teach each sect of the Zhengyi sect to cultivate and consume the land themselves.

For a moment, the Taoists present looked at each other in bewilderment and had no choice but to accept it.

This is the first step of the Jiangliu Project, which teaches people that Taoism is just that, and with the Confucian Association's efforts to demystify Qi cultivation and establish academies to educate people, as well as giving lectures on the fifteenth of each month, Taoism in the future will surely return to its roots and return to the Taoist tradition.

The same reason.

Buddhism should also be overthrown, leaving only the principles of meditation and self-cultivation.

"Master...Master, I...I..."

at this time.

Zhang Huaiyi, who was in the center of the field, woke up, his whole body aching, and he raised his hand shakily.

"Junior brother!"

Tian Jinzhong rushed over and helped Zhang Huaiyi up, but this only made Zhang Huaiyi wince in pain, crying out, "Ouch! Senior brother, don't... don't use force, it hurts!"

"what?"

Startled, Tian Jinzhong released his grip, causing Zhang Huaiyi to fall back to the ground with a thud, his whole body convulsing in pain.

This scene made Zhang Jingqing's eyelids twitch, and she scolded, "Jinzhong, do you have a grudge against your junior brother Huaiyi?"

"without!"

A flicker of panic crossed Tian Jinzhong's eyes, but he immediately denied it, saying, "We love each other very much!"

Zhang Huaiyi wanted to cry but had no tears.

After all, he knew very well that these senior brothers were harboring resentment towards him for being able to represent the Celestial Master's Mansion in the battle!

However, those who cultivate the Tao are all broad-minded, and after Tian Jinzhong's attack, the other senior brothers' "anger" towards him will surely dissipate.

only--

It really hurts!

Seeing Zhang Huaiyi in such a miserable state, Jiang Liu laughed and blew a breath into his heart, passing through the nine orifices and eight meridians, circulating through every cell in his body. In a short while, the charred black marks on his body fell off, revealing fair and healthy skin and a bald head.

Without him.

His own lightning magic was drawn together, bound, and twisted into one by the Red Girl using her magnetic field, increasing its power exponentially. It scorched Zhang Huaiyi's skin all over his body. Even with the help of the secret medicine from Longhu Mountain, he would need three to five months to recover on his own.

Therefore, Jiang Liu helped him recover ahead of schedule.

However, hair takes time to grow.

"That's amazing!"

"All done! All done!"

"My skin has become fairer!"

Zhang Jingqing, however, ignored the exclamations of the crowd and immediately stepped forward to examine Zhang Huaiyi's body. She found nothing wrong, and even the hidden injuries from his previous cultivation had been completely healed, making his blood and qi three times stronger than before. She then realized that Jiang Liu's method was definitely not a way to quickly repair by consuming the body's vitality. She breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him.

"You're welcome, it was nothing."

Jiang Liu smiled, looking at Zhang Huaiyi who was also thanking him, and then said to Zhang Jingqing with a grin, "The Celestial Master won't let Zhang Zhiwei inherit the position of Celestial Master, so he must have taken a fancy to Zhang Huaiyi, right?"

"what?"
