From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

The Thousand Crane Daoist's eyes were full of conflict. He sighed and stopped Zhang Zhiwei, "Although we are all Zhengyi, this matter... Maoshan can handle it on its own!"

Having said that, he took a nail from his waist, strode up to Shi Jian, and stabbed it fiercely into the spine-borne worm...

···

"That's how things went and how it ended."

On Longhu Mountain.

Zhang Zhiwei and Qianhe Daoren recounted the whole story in detail, but they omitted the fact that Hua Youtan and Weituo Daoren were actually Zhen Yuanzi in disguise, instead describing him as a reclusive Daoist from the Wuxia Coffin Mountain area.

"Get up."

After hearing the whole story, the head of the Shangqing Maoshan sect frowned even more, letting out a long sigh, "It's not your fault, it's that Shi Jian couldn't hold on..."

# Chapter 1129 The Possibility of Upgrading the Illusory Realm of Emptiness —

After descending the mountain with Jiang Liu, Zhang Zhiwei took out the fragment of the monster's core and asked, "You lost your Zhenyuanzi, are you alright?"

"What do you say?"

Jiang Liu rolled his eyes.

That's Zhen Yuanzi!

He bestowed the title of deity upon him!

If something really happens to the combination of Qi, field, and soul, that is, if it is broken, it is actually easy to just recreate it after a period of time.

But now?

Zhen Yuanzi completely disappeared from this spacetime, but not because he was destroyed; rather, he went to another dimension.

Using the primordial energy, Jiang Liu restored the core fragment in Zhang Zhiwei's hands to its original state. He then injected a wisp of Qi, causing the core to spin rapidly. Furthermore, the wisp of Qi evolved into a dazzling nebula-like object within it, which was quite mysterious.

"What exactly is this thing? What is that Corpse Immortal's dantian?"

This was the first time Hong Guniang had ever seen a "physical" dantian, and she was full of questions.

The others were also puzzled.

"That's true."

Jiang Liu already understood the essence of this thing: "Its structure is quite special. Under the premise of being intact, it forms a multi-dimensional space inside, which can be used to store Qi, memories, soul, etc. In other words, this thing is the core organ of that 'Corpse Immortal'."

"Is it also related to the serpent god who influenced the establishment of the Demon Kingdom?" Partridge Whistle asked in surprise, still remembering the molting turtle.

"There is a connection; the molting turtle also has something like that inside its body."

Jiang Liu nodded firmly and dispersed the wisp of Qi within the core.

For an instant.

The nebula within the core collapsed instantly, and the inner and outer sphere-like structures stopped rotating, making the core look just like a smooth, round sphere that had been polished by someone.

As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are interdependent.

Although he lost Zhen Yuanzi, Jiang Liu gained some real insight into upgrading the Taixu Illusionary Realm after obtaining this core.

If a creature like the "Corpse Immortal" has an extremely large population, then there must be a super-large ecological network among them that allows them to communicate with each other.

Moreover, that ecological network must be built on plants similar to corpse moss!

Considering that Zhen Yuanzi was swept into other timelines by this core multidimensional space, Jiang Liu could imagine that his higher-dimensional existence must have involved the level of the multiverse, and there must have been one or more timelines that they had modified and utilized. The timeline under one person that he was currently in... was most likely because several of the 1,748 people he had encountered in the past had disrupted their arrangements.

The purpose of higher dimensions is currently unclear.

But one thing is certain: if you go to the corresponding time and space, you will definitely be able to understand the corresponding ecological network system.

As for whether it will be discovered and targeted by higher-dimensional beings...

Jiang Liu wasn't worried about this, because if higher dimensions wanted to interfere with reality, they also needed a physical body in the real world.

Even though the power of the mind can directly influence the laws of the physical body, it still needs matter, energy, and information as carriers to work, rather than just a thought.

At the very least, one needs a place to call home.

That is, to connect this idea with the physical laws of reality.

therefore.

Whether it's to bring Zhen Yuanzi back or to upgrade the Taixu Illusionary Realm, we need to use the Hetu Luoshu again and go to the corresponding time and space!

However, Jiang Liu was not in a hurry.

Because Zhen Yuanzi is a part of himself, even across countless times and spaces, he can sense it in the dark and is certain that he is unharmed in the short term. He is just trying his best to hide in the ecological network of another time and space, becoming a kind of "virus" that keeps hiding.

then.

After returning to Yuhang, Jiang Liu did not take immediate action. Instead, he worked and recuperated at the same time, temporarily restoring Zhen Yuanzi's lost soul before preparing to travel to the space-time where Zhen Yuanzi was located.

In the past six months, news of the cooperation between the Zhengyi Sect and the Confucian Society has spread throughout the country, causing a huge uproar in the world of supernatural beings!

The Taoists of the Quanzhen lineage were incredulous and went to various sects of the Zhengyi lineage to confirm. They discovered that the mainstream branches of the Zhengyi lineage had chosen to cooperate with the Confucian Association. With the help of the Confucian Association, they returned the land to the people, keeping only a portion for their own cultivation and consumption. Furthermore, a "Nadutong" (a type of communication platform) was set up outside the Taoist temple to facilitate communication between the two sides.

And those branch temples that are unwilling to conform to the mainstream...

If they encounter the Gong faction in the future, the factions within the Zhengyi lineage that have already cooperated with the Confucian Society will not speak up for them. At most, they will provide some assistance afterward, and that will be all.

After much deliberation, many Quanzhen Taoist temples and monasteries, in order to avoid losing every last piece of land, gritted their teeth and took the initiative to seek cooperation with the Confucian Association.

For a time, the entire Taoist community leaned towards Confucianism.

The abbots, abbots, temple masters, and monastery masters of the Chan (Zen) sect of Buddhism conspired and approached the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song, hoping that the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Shi Chan, could take the initiative to meet with the president of the Confucian Association on their behalf to find out what the situation was, so as to prevent Taoism and the Confucian Association from uniting to attack and slander their Buddhist sect.

It should be understood that Buddhism is ultimately a foreign religion.

Even though it has taken root in this land, Buddhism there is no longer the same as Buddhism in India.

But morally speaking, if it were Taoism, which originated locally, to attack them—

It is natural and reasonable.

Indeed.

Buddhism has a history of nearly two thousand years, and Taoism cannot eradicate them completely. Over the past two thousand years, Taoism and Buddhism have long been intertwined and interdependent.

However, China is currently in a critical period, beset by internal and external troubles. If it is not careful and takes a wrong step, Taoism may have other ideas, and it is very likely that Buddhism will only exist in history books!

Although Zen Buddhism emphasizes the mind, if it truly only focuses on the word "mind" and believes that nothing exists outside of the mind, then why would they open temples or build monasteries?

Passing on traditions is the most important thing!

Helpless, Shi Chan had no choice but to call his disciple, Jie Kong, and together they went down the mountain to the southeastern Jiangzhe region to meet the sage Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu, however, happened to be absent from the Confucian Association.

Since half a year has passed and the missing part of Zhen Yuanzi has been made up, it is only natural to go and find Zhen Yuanzi!

Just then, Zhang Zhiwei returned from the Gong Sect, so Jiang Liu prepared to take him, Lu Jin, and Hong Guniang to the time and space where Zhen Yuanzi was located.

Hong Guniang's reason for getting involved was that she had been acting as president for many years and her body was getting rusty, so she needed to exercise more.

Jiang Liu believed it.

"How long will it take? If it takes three to five years, I might get fired by my husband."

Zhang Zhiwei descended from the sky and landed in the backyard of the opera troupe, teasing Jiang Liu.

"Don't worry, the flow of time in our spacetime is relatively static."

Jiang Liu turned to the first page of the Hetu and Luoshu, with gold on the left and black on the right, which were the Inner Canon Diagram and the Fire Control Diagram.

Because of his connection with Zhen Yuanzi, Jiang Liu directly determined the corresponding coordinates. He then activated Hunyuan Qi, and an invisible force field spread out, enveloping the four of them and distorting space and time.

Swah——

The four figures vanished instantly in the backyard of the opera troupe...

# Chapter 1130 T-69 Lighthouse Medical Collection Point

In the desert.

In the ruins.

A convoy of five armored vehicles and two transport vehicles traveled on a deserted road, dodging rusty vehicles and collapsed buildings along the way.

It's sizzling!

With the sound of brakes, seven vehicles stopped in front of an abandoned hospital, where the Chinese and English words "Nirvana" could be faintly seen on a nearby broken monument.

Inside the lead vehicle, a man dressed in a black, form-fitting combat suit with slicked-back hair pressed the communication device on his right ear and transmitted a message: "Kado, Jade, Rita, Afu, check your equipment. We've arrived at the T-69 Lighthouse Medical Collection Point. Our mission objective is to collect the medication for treating heart disease. The medication we brought back last time was only enough for six months, so we need to prepare more. Our goal this time is to collect as many medications as possible from the ground."

"Understood, 4068!"

X4

After the communication ended, a childish voice sounded from behind the car, asking Suiying, "Captain Suiying, Rita and Afu are both under that monster Mark's command. Why did you bring them along?"

Suiying patted the child's head behind him and laughed, "8925, don't talk too much or run around. This is my first mission. The fact that you can keep up is an opportunity I got from the city lord. If you mess this up, you'll have to wait until you grow up to try to apply to join the hunters' ground gathering mission."

The child had no name; 8925 was both his code name and his real name. But he seemed used to it and simply asked, "Captain Shadow, if I perform well this time, will I have a chance to become an upper-class citizen in the future?"

Upon hearing the words "Upper Class," Sui Ying's smile froze for a moment, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes, but it vanished in an instant. She patted 8925's head and said, "Let's talk about it after we finish this mission. Get out of the car now and put on your gas masks to avoid inhaling any remaining bromine fumes."

"Yes, Captain Suiying!"

8925 gave Suiying a perfunctory salute, quickly put on a gas mask, and got off the car with him.

The people in the other vehicles had also gotten off.

Looking at the fully armed team members, Sui Ying unconsciously swallowed, for this was his first mission, and also his first time back at the Nirvana Research Institute in this densely populated ecological area.

Last time!

Former Captain Mark met with misfortune while retrieving medicine for the city lord. He knew how dangerous this place was, but as a new broom sweeps clean, he had to prove his worth!

"Fellow Hunters, the City Lord has chosen me as the new Hunter Commander and bestowed upon me a new name: Shadow Follower!"

Sui Ying secretly rallied himself, then shouted to his former hunter commander's men, "On the lighthouse, perhaps the noise was too much, and you didn't hear me clearly..."
