From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Reproduction and life are natural processes.

The saying "wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha sits in the heart" essentially means that the mind sees through attachments and avoids going astray; the body practices nature and strives to put it into practice.

Thinking of this, Jiang Liu clenched his fist, and the Hetu Luoshu appeared in his hand. He bid farewell to everyone and then said to Mark and Ran Bing, "Would you two like to go on a belated honeymoon together?"

"No more."

Mark and Ran Bing exchanged a glance and laughed, "As long as I can be with Ran Bing, every day is like a honeymoon. Besides, if we leave too, how are we going to deal with the large Devouring Beasts?"

The large Devouring Beasts of Australia have been eradicated, but there are still many mutated Devouring Beasts on other continents. More importantly, Devouring Beasts also exist in the ocean, and recently, strong electromagnetic signals carrying a certain emotion have been detected in the East China Sea.

That might be a Devouring Beast at the Transformation level.

The Devouring Beasts at the Transformation level have already possessed intelligence truly comparable to that of humans, and may stand on the side of the ecosystem, or even cooperate with humans.

Before Bai Yuekui and Maiduo return from their vacation, there must be a highly capable fighter stationed here, just in case.

"I think I can..."

Before Mo Chen could finish speaking, Kun Jie covered his mouth and said, "This kid drank too much yesterday and hasn't sobered up yet. Boss Jiang, Boss Bai, and Captain Hong, please don't mind him."

"Until we meet again."

Jiang Liu smiled slightly, and with a swirling of his primordial energy, it quietly vanished from everyone's sight, leaving no trace. Even Mark couldn't detect the slightest bit of information.

"Parallel universes really exist."

Ran Bing and many others finally came to believe that Jiang Liu and the others came from another time and space.

"It is said that exploring the entire universe is much more difficult than traveling across time and space to another world, because every universe is theoretically infinite."

Feixue pondered, "Perhaps Boss Bai's past intentions were not merely to help Boss Jiang establish the Life Source Iteration System, but rather to use it to build a bridge across time and space."

In this way, our two timelines can help and support each other.

"Perhaps."

Mark believed that Bai Yuekui would indeed do that, but he was certain that the bigger reason was that he enjoyed being with Jiang Liu.

Before the disaster struck, Bai Yuekui had a misunderstanding with his biological father, focused on brain science research, and treated his mentor as a substitute for his father...

At the beginning of the disaster, Bai Yuekui had never been in a relationship, yet she already had a son named Lusheng, and she also raised all the elderly people in Longgu Village...

Now that Mana's will has been resolved, defeating the ecosystem is no longer a dream. All that's needed is to handle the internal issues. So for Bai Yuekui, besides studying, cultivating, and continuing to enrich himself and explore the mysteries of the universe, it's time to pursue happiness.

after all--

Love is the primary driving force.

太虚幻境

Chapter 1295 The Mind is Originally Without Form

The opera troupe's courtyard.

A ripple quietly spread through the space, and the figures of Jiang Liu, Hong Guniang, Bai Yuekui, Mai Duo, Lu Jin, and Zhang Zhiwei appeared silently.

"came back?"

Zhang Zhiwei looked at the familiar courtyard, rubbed his head, and asked Jiang Liu, "Was it really just a moment ago?"

"Would I lie to you?"

Jiang Liu closed the Hetu Luoshu and smiled calmly, "However, since I returned, the passage of time in the two timelines has become consistent."

"Then I need to get used to it for a while."

Zhang Zhiwei stretched and was about to go inside to rest when Jiang Liu grabbed him. No matter how hard he tried, he felt the hand on his shoulder was as heavy as a mountain and he couldn't break free.

“Brother Zhiwei, don’t be lazy. You weren’t sent here to enjoy a life of leisure. It just so happens that Mingxin Academy is short of people. You can be a temporary military training instructor this time.”

Zhang Zhiwei: "???"

Jiang Liu: "Being an immortal means you can't slack off for a moment."

Zhang Zhiwei argued forcefully: "I am a human being."

Jiang Liu retorted confidently, "Even immortals need to cultivate themselves constantly, let alone us ordinary people. This is precisely the time for us to cultivate ourselves—"

Faced with Jiang Liu's arguing manner, Zhang Zhiwei was speechless and had no choice but to go to Mingxin Academy to conduct military training for the students who were on holiday.

Besides him, there was another teacher.

Lu Huizhong.

[Jiang Liu, I'm so damn grateful to you!]

Zhang Zhiwei was speechless. He remembered Jiang Liu mentioning that he would introduce him to a woman named "Lu Huizhong" as a wife, and suspected that this was all part of his plan.

When Lu Huizhong met Zhang Zhiwei, her "instructor," she looked him up and down and asked curiously, "Are you Zhang Zhiwei, whose strength is comparable to Jiang Liu's?"

Although Zhang Zhiwei had already become acquainted with various business owners on Cultural Street and many members of the Confucian Association, he did not have much interaction with Lu Huizhong—Lu Huizhong was just a handyman at Liu's Hot Pot Restaurant.

Therefore, this was their first formal meeting.

In fact.

This was not Jiang Liu's "scheme" to bring the two of them together.

Rather, with war approaching, he invited Lu Huizhong, a Tang Clan assassin, to the academy to give the children some simple training, so that they would not harbor any illusions when facing those inhuman foreign enemies in the future.

Sending Zhang Zhiwei to conduct military training for the children was intended to establish discipline and enhance cooperation.

Indeed.

With Jiang Liu's current abilities, he could sink the continent with a single punch, but that is different from his "Wuji" Dao. Moreover, what he does is to teach the extraordinary people of Shenzhou to return to humanity, so that ordinary people can stand tall on their own, instead of living under his protection for their entire lives—he does not need the blind worship of the masses.

If it is blind worship of power, even if it is useful to him, it can only occupy the tower of his mind's vision, like Ananta.

But if all beings can stand tall and upright, and everyone has faith, the power of their hearts can collide with him and transform into a eagle, overlooking the vast world, like the golden-winged roc standing on the halo above his Dharma image.

Furthermore.

The current global weather pattern is still evolving, and that island nation is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire. If it were truly sunk with a single blow, the resulting chain reaction would likely affect the coastal areas of China...

"Miss Lu flatters me. I am no match for Jiang Liu," Zhang Zhiwei chuckled.

"Isn't that being modest?"

Lu Huizhong smiled and asked, "I heard you joined the Gong faction? I wonder how you plan to train these kids? Let's discuss it and see if there are any conflicts?"

"Alright."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei breathed a sigh of relief and began discussing with Lu Huizhong. They quickly reached an agreement: one would teach the discipline of cooperation, and the other would impart the art of killing.

The methods of the Tang Clan—

Lu Huizhong naturally wouldn't teach these children her own techniques, but she was more than capable of teaching them how to quickly attack an enemy's vital points...

···

After Zhang Zhiwei left the Caixi Opera Troupe, Lu Jin and Hong Guniang also returned to their respective posts.

Jiang Liu led Bai Yuekui and Maiduo to familiarize themselves with the cultural street and the Confucian Association. However, along the way, many people were curious about Bai Yuekui and Maiduo's clothing.

Maido is fine; it can be described as Tibetan clothing.

Bai Yuekui's outfit, which perfectly showcased the female figure, was unconventional, especially her long, exposed legs—

Nowadays, cheongsams are popular, but apart from prostitutes, most women in Yuhang wear trousers with their cheongsams to prevent their private parts from being exposed.

Most respectable women are still quite conservative.

However, Bai Yuekui's "non-mainstream" outfit once again shattered the local women's perceptions.

Would you call her a prostitute?

She covered her upper body completely, not revealing a trace of skin, and even wore black leather arm sleeves. Her eyes were indifferent and clear, without any worldly desires.

But could you say she was a respectable woman?

She deliberately exposed her long legs, seemingly unconcerned about being taken advantage of.

However, because Bai Yuekui and Maiduo were with Jiang Liu, the shop owners and members of the Confucian Society who were familiar with Jiang Liu only regarded her as a big customer invited by Jiang Liu and did not ask any questions; and the wealthy merchants, young masters and young ladies from other parts of Yuhang did not dare to go up and cause trouble.

The journey was uneventful.

Jiang Liu's wallet, which he always carried with him, had become deflated, meaning that if the two of them wanted to buy more, he would have to put it on the tab.

"President."

Upon arriving at Wang's Steamed Bun Shop, Zhao Qian was also there. He paused slightly upon seeing Bai Yuekui's long legs, then said, "President, the abbot of Shaolin Temple on Mount Song, whose name I think is Shi Chan, wants to discuss the Dao with you. Oh, and he also brought a disciple with him, whose name is Jie Kong."

"Is it Shi Chan? I guess he saw that Zhengyi and Quanzhen are cooperating with us and got the idea. He came to me to see what was going on, which is a good thing."

Even without the ability to see clearly, Jiang Liu had already figured out most of the situation. He then instructed, "I'll go to the Confucian Association to find him. You take these two guests around Yuhang. If they want to spend money, just tell the shop owners to put it on my tab."

"understood."

Zhao Qian realized that Bai Yuekui and Maiduo were very likely major clients, so he dared not neglect them.

But after feeding Chagai, whose wings had grown considerably on his shoulders, some meat buns, Maiduo decided to go with Jiang Liu: "Father, my father said that our family used to have a high regard for lamas and the like. I'd like to go and take a look."

"Alright."

Jiang Liu nodded, and Bai Yuekui nodded in agreement. Then he led Mai Duo toward the Confucian Association.

Bai Yuekui then planned to explore Yuhang again to determine the construction locations for the Life Source Iteration System and the Spacetime Teleportation Device.

Zhao Qian, however, stood there stunned, wondering if he had misheard.

dad?

Has the president fallen from grace?

impossible!

But why does that girl, who is about the same age as him, call the chairman "father"?

And the president didn't refute it!

"Your president saved Maiduo's life, and out of gratitude, she recognized Jiang Liu as her father." Without needing to guess, Bai Yuekui knew what Zhao Qian was thinking, so he explained it to him.

"You can do that?"
