From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Charles regained his composure, and in that instant of gritting his teeth, he actually straightened his body against the heat descending from the sky. His right eye, which seemed to be constructed from a blue nebula, rippled slightly, instantly repairing the cracks on Charles's body and forming an invisible force field.

hum!

The spear fell and collided with the invisible force field, unleashing an invisible force that shattered everything within a radius of tens of kilometers into fragments.

The city has vanished!

The beast mountain that had just been rebuilt was also in ruins!

but.

The fragments of the Devouring Beast's corpse were not blown far away, seemingly guided by some force—

Spin!

Disc ring!

As the bones fell, the flesh and blood transformed into life-giving soil, which, mixed with other components, formed a massive purple vortex of flame-like phenomena.

"It's a blood vortex!"

Bai Yuekui saw right through it all!

Chapter 1241 Having Charles Under Control

What is a fish vortex?

This is a sign that the Mana ecosystem is about to evolve. It will attract Devouring Beasts to gather and transfer the life essence they have captured to the Flower King in order to achieve the goal of collective evolution.

But the current vortex of blood is different.

Jiang Liu could see clearly that it was the higher-dimensional will that had personally intervened!

Charles stood amidst the swirling stench, his orange-gold hair dancing in the wind. The blue in his right eye had vanished, replaced by a deep, dark black, punctuated only by tiny stars.

If Charles's right eye was previously like a starry sky wallpaper on a computer desktop, then what his right eye now presents is a real-life starry sky.

The real universe is not azure; its true nature lies in its deep blue.

Seeing this, Madonna withdrew her spear, looked at Charles standing in the swirling stench, her three eyebrows furrowed, and then she slammed down and thrust her spear forward.

Charles, however, seemed to have become a different person. With a twist of his waist, his force field surged, and he grew to three zhang in length, transforming into a three-headed, six-armed Dharma form. When he clashed with Maido, it was another fierce battle!

But we see:

The six-armed Ulan Maido, the ruler of Jiangwei Mana, meet and fight bravely, neither of them resting.

One was tasked with subduing the demon, while the other descended to seize the source of the stream.

Claws flashed with swift sharpness, fists shook the air and caused sorrow to all; feet treaded the void like wheels, head shrouded in clouds like a wolf's head; electric eyes pierced and shone brightly, flying up and down like a ball.

Mai Duo was struck by a sudden burst of energy, and her spear multiplied into three, thrusting forward and parrying backward with cunning and scheming.

They fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand, their bodies trembling with fear, unwilling to rest. Their six arms transformed wildly into a whirlwind, scattering countless beams of light across the sky.

With spear in hand, I am fearless; the golden elixir circulates, orchestrating my every move. One becomes a thousand, a myriad, dancing wildly in the sky like flying dragons. The people of the Lighthouse are awestruck and praise me; the beasts of the ground bow their heads in terror. The divine spear gleams brightly, while the armor beneath the abyss rustles softly.

Looking up at the sky, the people shout with pride; looking down at the ground, the horde of Devouring Beasts scurries about.

When the two sides met, they fought fiercely, and it was impossible to tell which was stronger and which was more cunning!

After nearly a hundred rounds of fighting, Maido had gradually mastered the wonders of the Golden Core and Holy Embryo. Not only was she able to use her own power more flexibly, but she could also instinctively use various supernatural powers and spells in the battle. For a time, she fought to a standstill with the avatar brought down by Mana's will.

During their final collision, both objects were pushed back several hundred meters and stood upright in mid-air.

The cracks on Charles's body slowly healed. Looking at Madonna, he said, "As an ant, do you think you can change the world with this power?"

Ignoring him, Maido gripped her spear, roared, and soared through the air to fight "Charles" again, unleashing the full power within her.

"Has he already been possessed by that will?"

Zhang Zhiwei rubbed his chin. "Charles alone couldn't possibly unleash the power of that armor to this extent."

"I couldn't help it after all."

Jiang Liu raised his lips slightly.

After Mark repaired the three gates and nine orifices of his body and revived Ran Bing, he had a real hope of living. He was no longer the beacon of Mana's ecology. If that will were to descend, he would have to plan something else.

Young Charles, who became the leader of the Lighthouse Society, was one of His backup plans.

Other incarnation-level Devouring Beasts—

Without the beacon of the Mark, its will can influence magnetic fields and air fields on a macroscopic level, and thus affect the movement of matter in three-dimensional space, but it cannot truly descend.

This would lead to future Devouring Beasts at the Incarnation level awakening self-awareness after birth. They might help the Mana ecosystem, assist humanity, or remain neutral, observing from the sidelines and blending in with the world.

therefore.

In any case, that will would never stand by and watch Charles be completely killed.

"So right now we need to subdue Charles who has been possessed."

Lu Jin decided to use the gene lock and, together with Zhang Zhiwei and Mai Duo, ganged up on Charles, but was stopped by Jiang Liu.

"It's an emergency, let me handle it."

Reaching the edge of the elevator platform, Jiang Liu looked down and saw that the swirling vortex had fully formed. All the Devouring Beasts from across the continent would be approaching this place, so the battle had to be ended quickly so that the "Tower Relocation Plan" could be fully implemented.

Come back, Mydo, it's okay now!

In the midst of the fierce battle, Maiduo heard the sound of the river flowing in her mind, and immediately turned back towards the lighthouse.

Seeing this, "Charles" did not pursue, but instead plummeted downwards into the swirling vortex. However, before it had descended a hundred meters, the surrounding space darkened.

But then a gigantic hand, obscuring the sky, reached out and grabbed at him!

His palm was like the world, his five fingers like the five sacred mountains, and the lines on his palm like a maze. The surrounding space was drawn in, compressed, and enveloped him completely.

In an instant, "Charles" was pulled back to the lighthouse by Jiang Liu. His right eye, as deep as the starry sky, rippled and undulated, as if trying to sever the connection with Charles. But Jiang Liu pointed a finger at his forehead, engraving the six-syllable mantra - Om Mani Padme Hum.

This six-syllable mantra originally came from a higher dimension, but it was modified by humans to make it more suitable for the spiritual light of the human race. The way it is used is like using a "master key". However, those who have not cultivated spiritual power cannot even cast it, let alone unleash its mysteries.

Subsequently, the eight meridians of the river pulsed, manifesting six of the eight aspects within the body: descending into the river, entering the world, cultivating, subduing demons, preaching the Dao, and the golden elixir. The remaining two aspects, the aspect of transcendence, are ethereal and elusive, with no definitive conclusion; the aspect of Nirvana is solidified to three parts, only because of a trip to the Kunlun Demon Kingdom in Tibet, where the principle of the phoenix's rebirth was understood.

After stabilizing the body and mind with these eight aspects, the sacred embryo of the Qi structure instantly transcends the small world of the human body, becoming the true primordial spirit, roaming the great human body of heaven and earth.

The primordial spirit manifested into a physical form, identical to Jiang Liu's physical body, appearing almost real. However, because Jiang Liu had cultivated the Dharma Body of Heaven and Earth, this time the primordial spirit left the body in a different time and space than in "The Adventures of Xiao Yu." The form had radiant flames, and the top of the head was radiant, exactly the same as the immortals and Buddhas depicted in the murals in the temple.

"This is Jiang Liu's primordial spirit!"

Upon first encountering Jiang Liu's primordial spirit, Zhang Zhiwei recalled the sculptures and portraits of various deities within the Celestial Master's Mansion, his mind reeling, and a strange curiosity arose within him:

Are the images of immortals and Buddhas in temples and Taoist monasteries not only exaggerated descriptions and metaphors for cultivating Qi, but also objective descriptions of the state of immortals and Buddhas?

Jiang Liu's primordial spirit walked straight into the Abyss, stepping onto the deep, dark tunnel with blue light spots, and arriving in an unknown world.

This world—

The earth was a hazy yellow, the sky a dim yellow. The earth was a hazy yellow, like frozen sea waves, with a faint, yellowish glow in the mist; the sky was dim, but the nine stars were aligned, each one shining brightly. There was no sun above or below, yet there was light; there were mountains to the left and right, yet they were low.

It is:

No water, no wind, no human habitation; yet it has feelings, passion, and the flowing river.

The river flows into this place, and it is clear that this place is not the actual location of the Mana Holy Embryo, but merely a "transfer station".

In essence, similar to the imaginary space, the nine-star alignment and the boundless plains presented here are all replicas of high-dimensional information in low-dimensional space.

Although it is a replica, it is also reality within this space.

Therefore, Jiang Liu summoned the Nine Luminaries, merged with them, and seized their essential information to control this realm, thus gaining initial control and recouping some of the interest...

Chapter 1242 Mana's Origins (Part 1)

Just as Jiang Liu was merging with the nine stars—Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu—a sound came from the sky:

"stop!"

It wasn't human language, but Jiang Liu's primordial spirit could understand it, and it revealed anger! Trembling!

Jiang Liu looked up and saw a pitch-black ring with a diameter of a thousand feet appear out of thin air—not out of thin air, this ring had always existed, but it had been hidden in another dimension of this space and was not visible.

The outer ring was black and the inner ring was gold. As the gold light flowed on the inner side, two more rings appeared!

The two rings are of different sizes. The smaller ring is about fifty meters in diameter, and the larger ring is about one hundred meters in diameter. The larger ring encircles the smaller ring and always remains perpendicular to it.

Unlike the thousand-foot-long circular ring that resembled a metal technological creation, these two rings looked like some kind of petrified soil, with blue-black plants resembling fuzz or tendrils growing on their surface, which was quite strange.

The sound just now came from inside the small ring.

As the two rings slowly approached the river, the tendrils on the inside of the smaller ring began to grow and coil wildly inward, forming a black plane.

Wave!

A crack appeared at the center of the black plane, slowly opening to both sides. Within the faint purplish-red halo, spore-like eyeballs resembling eye tumors and petrified vines emerged.

If an ordinary person were to accidentally enter this space and dare to face this eye directly, their mind would inevitably be unable to withstand it, and the information they could obtain would be limited. Once they leave, not only would their brain be damaged, but even if they recovered, the memories they could retain would be extremely scarce, and remembering only one or two sentences would be the limit.

Jiang Liu, however, had already solidified his foundation and attained enlightenment. Now, in the form of a primordial spirit, he could discern the multidimensional information revealed in the thousand pupils of the eyes as he met them. He said, "Hey, brother, if you tell me to stop, I'll just stop. Wouldn't that be a huge loss of face?"

Jiang Liu seemed taken aback by his words, as if he didn't understand why he would convey such an abstract message.

"Stop!"

Qian Tong conveyed the message again, "As fellow beings of higher dimensions, we do not interfere with each other. You have crossed the boundary, so I hope you will retreat and we can live in peace."

"This way of speaking..."

Jiang Liu raised an eyebrow and replied, "You take Zhenyuan, I collect interest. It's perfectly reasonable. If you're not happy about it, then accept it."

In an instant.

The thousand pupils merged into one, transforming into a single eye, golden inside and black outside, which met Jiang Liu's gaze and struck directly at his primordial spirit.

That gaze had no mass, no energy, only information—almost endless information—that kept pouring into Jiang Liu's primordial spirit.

What solution?

The battle between primordial spirits is not a physical collision or magical exchange like in three-dimensional space, but a contest of their mental will and information.

Whoever contains more information! Whoever holds the strongest will!

Whoever wins will be the real winner!
