From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Ok?"

Jiang Liu was taken aback, slightly puzzled. His eyes bloomed like golden lotuses, reflecting the vast world. Darkness could no longer obscure his divine eyes. He saw through the divine seal and understood the true nature of things. He realized that in the previous fusion of light and magnetism, the two were immersed in the Dao of Taiyi and could not extricate themselves. They had completely merged his restless mind and wandering thoughts with his own consciousness.

What are you two doing?

Upon learning the situation, Jiang Liu was speechless, yet also filled with self-reproach. "It's also my fault. I only agreed to your request as a precaution..."

Who knew that this divine seal was just a show of intimidation without a guiding will?

You two actually fell for their trick!

There was nothing we could do.

Jiang Liu sighed, his consciousness sinking into his mind's eye. He summoned Red Girl and White Moon, and seeing that they were still in the state of "returning to oneness," he understood that without completely merging with their thoughts, he could not get rid of his restless mind and wandering thoughts.

But we see:

The restless mind, like a wild monkey, blazed with crimson flames, burning away anger and resentment into its essence. A wisp of green smoke pierced through the nine orifices, transforming into a lion, its jaws wide open, returning to its true nature—

Inhale and exhale true essence, matching yin and yang.

The white horse neighed, and the jade dragon returned to its former glory. Having cleansed its foolish heart, it became Xuanming; its Yin energy, having passed through three gates, transformed into a white elephant. With a flick of its trunk, it bound the true dragon—

The dragon and the elephant vie for supremacy, representing the trigrams Kan and Li.

The three consciousnesses merged, allowing the consciousnesses of Red Girl and White Moon to return, restoring their restless minds to the river. However, they did not choose to end it directly, but instead continued and actively maintained with the river in this dual cultivation state of harmonizing water and fire, merging yin and yang, and matching male and female.

Because in this state, the three of them are in a mysterious realm where each of them is intertwined with the other, experiencing great freedom and joy.

outside world.

The bodies of Hong Guniang and Bai Yuekui also actively clung to and approached Jiang Liu's body, which was exactly as follows:

The Dharma is boundless through the mind, permeating body and mind, leading to the Great Way. One yang, two yin, three lines unfold, eighty-four thousand pairs of male and female.

Piercing through the jade pot reveals the heart's intent; unifying knowledge and action breaks through the primordial chaos. Disciplining three leads to enlightenment; coming and going, one awakens to the true emptiness.

This process of verifying one's mind through one's own actions and imprinting one's mind on one's own actions eliminates any barriers between the three, allowing for a seamless and intuitive understanding without the need for any light.

When Red Girl, White Moon Clan, and Jiang Liu returned to their original forms and opened their eyes, they were all startled. They quickly stabilized their supernatural powers to prevent the darkness from shattering, and swiftly dressed themselves. They looked at each other, their faces calm and collected, as if nothing had happened...

Chapter 1279 Telepathic Understanding

"cough!"

Jiang Liu coughed, and with a wave of his hand, the Ruyi Jingu Bang appeared in his hand. He swung it toward the black and red divine seal.

With a loud "thud," the divine seal disintegrated, transforming into countless particles that were as dazzling as fireworks. Most of them were directly annihilated, while the remaining particles transformed into two spiral-shaped plumes of smoke, which flowed into the golden cudgel. The white dragon and azure dragon patterns at both ends of the cudgel were absorbed and merged with the cudgel, becoming one with it.

When the weight of the Ruyi Jingu Bang reached 13,500 jin, which was exactly the number of the primordial energy cycle in the cultivation path, Jiang Liu made the Jingu Bang stop absorbing those divine seal atoms and return them to the Golden Core Holy Embryo.

Then, with a wave of his hands, he gathered the excess divine seal atoms together, transforming them into two demon-subduing pestles, each about 24 centimeters long and weighing 5,000 spirit 48 jin. One side was a double-spiraled, sharp shape similar to a divine seal, with mysterious runes on it. The other side was shaped like a lotus flower, supporting a round pill. The handle in the middle, for holding a person, had patterns of a blue lion, a white elephant, and a roc, which confirmed the principle of dual... triple cultivation of one yang and two yin this time.

To break the awkward silence, Jiang Liu handed the two Vajra Pestle to Hong Guniang and Bai Yuekui respectively.

The two were already in perfect harmony with Jiang Liu, and naturally understood how to use it. Using their magnetic field and light field, they took the Vajra Pestle and instantly connected it with their own Qi, becoming one with it. The weight of 5,400 jin would also adjust itself in their hands according to their respective bearing capacity.

Given the current physical condition and cultivation level of Hong Guniang and Bai Yuekui, under normal circumstances, they could probably lift around 500 jin.

In other words, both of them could wield the 500-pound weapon as skillfully as a small dagger anytime, anywhere, without feeling any burden while carrying it.

Without him.

Because of his dual cultivation with Jiang Liu, he felt the vibration of the human body and the universe and gained great benefits. Although his cultivation level did not increase by the slightest, he saved the effort of setting the five internal organs as the central palace of his body and mind, and perfectly controlled the macroscopic energy pattern of the human body, so his strength increased greatly.

Jiang Liu was now at a loss as to how to face the two women, and for a moment he didn’t even know how to address them.

Sister Hong?

Grandma Bai?

"Pfft!"

Seeing Jiang Liu's tense face and feeling his pounding heart, Hong Gu Niang couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying, "Alright, Brother Jiang, don't worry about what happened just now. I know you didn't mean it."

Bai Yuekui understood that Jiang Liu was still a virgin before this, and with their unspoken understanding, he was certain that the nervousness was not feigned, but rather an unbearable feeling. He smiled slightly and said, "Indeed, you don't need to take it to heart. I'm a doctor, and I've long since become indifferent to such things."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu remained silent for a moment, then regained his youthful demeanor and suddenly asked, "So, you two did this on purpose?"

"Hey buddy, don't act all innocent after getting a good deal!"

Hong said, then hooked her arm around Jiang Liu's neck and whispered in his left ear, "After this is over, you can come to me anytime tonight if you want... How about we get married when we get back?"

"Sister Hong, please don't do this, I'm a little scared."

Jiang Liu trembled all over, but Bai Yuekui hooked his neck again. Hong Guniang said quietly and generously, "If you want to discuss the philosophy of life with me, you can come and find me at will. I think you should experience that feeling of knowing all the mysteries of the universe more often."

Jiang Liu was speechless at these words, but he was also glad that he had previously integrated the principles of the Nine Great Qi Patterns into the principles of the Nine Apertures Talisman Seals, and refined the Taiyi. No matter how much he indulged in his emotions, it would not affect his cultivation.

"Oh, so this eighty-year-old lady has become so attached to young grass after just one bite?" Red Girl squinted, her tone teasing.

"I'm here to seek the truth of the universe."

Bai Yuekui stared at Hong Guniang with the same look, unwilling to be outdone.

Despite their apparent rivalry, these two are actually very much in sync.

Hong Guniang has been out in the world since she was a child. Although she has a fiery temper, she gradually becomes more composed after joining the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe and the Confucian Society. Influenced by Jiang Liu's behavior, thoughts and words, she also gradually broadens her mind.

As a doctor, Bai Yuekui, as she said, was not interested in such things, and having survived since the beginning of the disaster, her emotions had gradually stabilized, and few other things could shake her spirit.

But she possessed an almost extreme dedication to research and the pursuit of truth. Her harmonious dual cultivation with Jiang Liu brought her great joy and freedom. Furthermore, since Jiang Liu stayed at her house during his time in this world, and while teaching the villagers of Dragon Bone Village the art of Qi cultivation, he also kept her house impeccably organized, no longer leaving things lying around as she usually did.

As is well known, aside from his personal appearance and research, Bai Yuekui is quite casual about hygiene, especially his home environment.

Therefore, how could Bai Yuekui not have any interest in a boy like Jiang Liu, who is humorous, good at managing a household, knowledgeable in science, and who, after traveling to many worlds, remains unmoved by the prosperity of other worlds and wants to return to the main world to achieve his own "Dao"?

Because of the age gap, and because Jiang Liu always called her "Grandma Bai," Bai Yuekui had never thought about romantic feelings between them before.

Now the raw rice has been cooked into a cooked meal—

Bai Yuekui, however, came to a realization.

Her lifespan was more than a hundred years.

Jiang Liu, needless to say, achieved "immortality" solely through cultivation.

and so.

For these "long-lived species," what is a difference of a mere sixty or seventy years?

A thousand years later, this age difference will only be equivalent to a difference of one or two years.

As for the matter of two women sharing one husband...

Bai Yuekui didn't actually mind.

Regarding relationships.

Her needs are simple: for the person she loves to have her in their heart.

She can handle all other material, spiritual, and physical needs on her own, so men don't need to worry about her at all.

In addition, it would be even better if both parties shared the same or compatible ideas and could encourage each other when they were mentally exhausted.

exactly.

Although Jiang Liu's ideas were not entirely the same as hers, he was tolerant of her thoughts.

And mutual encouragement on a spiritual level—

She had already experienced it once.

As for fun games, such as the various games in the Reading and Entertainment Store, Bai Yuekui has already completed them all after living for so long, but every time he plays, he can fully immerse himself and enjoy the joy of that moment.

For Bai Yuekui, the spiritual connection with Jiang Liu was also a kind of "game," a game he could play for an entire lifetime and never tire of...

···

Because the three of them shared a tacit understanding, Jiang Liu, who understood the thoughts of the other two, didn't know whether to feel fortunate or worried.

In the brief moment of anxiety, the black light curtain slowly dissipated, revealing the figures of Zhang Zhiwei, Lu Jin, Mark, and others.

Zhang Zhiwei exclaimed with delight: "You succeeded!"

Lu Jin asked in surprise, "Brother Jiang, you destroyed the Divine Seal?"

Mark, however, was puzzled: "There seems to be some peculiar aura..."

Chapter 1280 Strange Odor? Spiritual Connection!

Upon hearing Mark's doubts, Jiang Liu, Hong Guniang, and Bai Yuekui, as if on cue, all chose to deceive him, saying in unison, "You've smelled it wrong."

mark:"???"

Although he didn't understand what exactly happened during the process of the three connecting their divine seals, he knew clearly that the smell was the stench of sweat—

What's there to hide?

Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Jin couldn't smell it because they were wearing combat spacesuits and helmets, and had their own oxygen supply system.

Elisa and Vincent, however, knew what that tasted like, and their eyes were strange, as if they felt that these three Easterners might be more "open" than they had imagined.

After this little episode, Jiang Liu waved his hand nonchalantly, clearing away the sour smell in the air, and got down to business: "ASH's consciousness has been absorbed into my body, and I have also deciphered the essence of the divine seal, which is the 'Dharma King's Dharma'."

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Zhiwei did not understand his meaning.

Lu Jin, who had followed Jiang Liu for many years, knew that this good older brother liked to use the plot of Journey to the West to explain everything, and could actually find corresponding situations in reality. So she tentatively asked, "Brother Jiang, do you mean that we are currently in the big cabinet in Widow Zhao's shop?"

"Clap!"

Jiang Liu clapped twice, gave a thumbs up, and his embarrassment vanished completely. He praised, "On the contrary, it's you, 'Wooden Mother,' who understands me better."

Upon hearing about the large cabinet in Widow Zhao's shop, Zhang Zhiwei was still confused for a moment. Only after Lu Jin reminded him did he come to his senses and exclaim in surprise, "So you really did go on a 'Journey to the West'!"

"So the Divine Seal is the 'Law' discarded by the Mana ecosystem?"

Lu Jin pondered for a moment and figured out the key point.

"Absolutely."

Jiang Liu chuckled lightly, "The 'method' that Mana discarded can be said to have completed the final link for us to achieve the Great Dao."
