One person: Senior Brother Zhang Zhiwei, who has mastered the Golden Light Mantra to its fullest lev

[Outlier Level: Hero (Mid-Stage)]

[Technique: Reverse Life Triple Stage Completion]

[Note: Due to the hatred of his master, he fell into inner demons and forcibly activated the Reverse Life Triple Realm, sacrificing his own lifespan to gain power far exceeding his current level.]

His mind has become twisted, and he is on the verge of falling into demonic ways, in extreme danger.

A wave of emotion surged within Zhang Yunyuan.

No wonder he was able to stir up a bloody storm in the martial arts world all by himself; it turns out he forcibly broke through to this realm in such a self-destructive way.

He suppressed his surprise and nodded slightly to Lu Jin.

"It's my little brother."

He sighed, a hint of regret in his voice.

"Brother Lu, there are many suspicious aspects to the passing of the Left Sect Master. It would be best to investigate the cause before making a decision, so as to avoid bloodshed in the martial world and damage to the foundation of the San Yi Sect!"

Although other righteous sects were involved in this matter, the main force behind the revenge was ultimately the Sanyi Sect.

Although the Sanyi Sect is a first-class sect in the world of supernatural beings, it cannot compare with a force like the Quanxing Sect.

If they hadn't fought to the death, the Sanyi Sect wouldn't have ended up in such a tragic state, with only Lu Jin as its sole successor.

However, this persuasion was like a spark that instantly ignited the powder keg that had been building up inside Lu Jin.

"The blood feud between my sect and my master is not a lie!"

Lu Jin's voice suddenly rose, and that tangible killing intent erupted, causing the white banners in the mourning hall to flutter even without wind.

"As long as those two traitors, Wugensheng and Li Muxuan, are not eliminated, I, Lu Jin, will kill them every single day!"

Yun Yuan, if you've come to persuade me to lay down my butcher's knife, then please leave!

The blood of the Trinity must not be shed in vain!

He turned around abruptly, knelt down again, and refused to look at Zhang Yunyuan once more, demonstrating his resolute attitude through his actions.

Zhang Yunyuan looked at his back, twisted by hatred, and sighed helplessly.

He knew that talking about it was useless.

"Since Brother Lu has made up his mind, there is no point in me saying anything more."

Zhang Yunyuan spoke again, his tone now calm.

"But my master has ordered me to stay here and keep vigil for the Left Sect Master for three days, to fulfill my duty as a fellow practitioner."

I hope Brother Lu can do me a favor.

Lu Jin's body stiffened slightly, but she did not refuse again.

He could not, and was unable to, refuse the request of a Taoist priest representing the Celestial Master's Mansion to keep vigil for his master.

Seeing his tacit approval, Zhang Yunyuan said no more. Under the arrangement of a disciple, he stayed temporarily at the Sanyi Sect, waiting for another opportunity.

Zhang Yunyuan evaded the patrolling disciples and, with a ghostly figure, quietly arrived at the core forbidden area of ​​the Sanyi Sect.

It was a separate hall, with three large characters carved on the plaque at the entrance in a flamboyant style.

——Nishengtang.

This is the legendary place where Zuo Ruotong secluded himself and finally broke through the third level of Reverse Life.

Standing before the hall, Zhang Yunyuan felt a surge of excitement as he sensed the peculiar aura emanating from within, a mixture of boundless vitality and profound death.

This aura shares the same origin as the power emanating from Lu Jin, but it is purer and more ancient.

He slowly closed his eyes and silently recited in his heart.

"System, check in."

[Ding! Check-in location detected: Sanyi Gate · Nisheng Hall.]

【Check-in successful! 】

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: Primordial Qi.]

The moment the system notification sound ended.

A pure and pristine energy, seemingly originating from the beginning of time when heaven and earth were first created and chaos was yet to be divided, surged into his limbs and bones like a mighty, surging river!

That power was so pure and gentle that wherever it passed, the meridians were widened, the bones were cleansed, as if the whole person was about to ascend to heaven.

Zhang Yunyuan hadn't even had time to feel happy about the generous reward.

Within his dantian, the dormant and domineering primordial qi instantly awakened, like a shark smelling blood!

It let out a silent roar, opened its invisible maw, and swallowed the pure and incomparable primordial energy that had just surged in!

Devour, assimilate!

Two supreme forces, of the same origin but different in nature, collided and merged violently within his body.

The primordial Qi is pure and vast, like a boundless ocean.

The Primordial Dao Qi is domineering and chaotic, like a black hole that devours everything.

Ultimately, that "ocean" was completely swallowed by the "black hole," becoming nourishment for its own growth.

An invisible muffled sound suddenly exploded deep within Zhang Yunyuan's soul.

The seemingly insurmountable bottleneck that had troubled him for so long, separating the elite from the heroes, was shattered without a trace of resistance under the impact of this immense power!

In that instant, his dantian seemed to expand infinitely, and the originally surging qi energy transformed into a bottomless chaotic ocean!

His cultivation level has improved dramatically once again!

Officially stepping into the realm of heroes at the top!

Chapter 79 Reunion with Wugensheng

Having failed to persuade Lu Jin, Zhang Yunyuan's mind began to wander.

The trouble should end it.

Since we can't find a breakthrough with Lu Jin, we might as well go directly to the other key figure in this turmoil—Wu Gensheng.

He found a secluded spot and focused his mind on the grotto ring on his left index finger.

This ring and Wugensheng's ring were originally a pair, and there was an extremely faint but real resonance between them.

Zhang Yunyuan attempted to infuse a wisp of primordial Dao energy containing his own intentions into the ring.

He wasn't sure if the method would work; he was just giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, as soon as that wisp of Dao Qi merged into the ring, he felt the flowing galaxy inside the ring tremble slightly.

An invisible wave, following a mysterious trajectory he couldn't comprehend, instantly traversed thousands of mountains and rivers, spreading outwards.

A moment later, the ring vibrated slightly again.

A vague message appeared directly in his mind.

One place, one time.

Zhang Yunyuan was overjoyed.

After keeping vigil for Zuo Ruotong for three days, he bid farewell to Lu Jin, left the Sanyi Sect, and headed towards the agreed-upon location.

It was atop a desolate mountain at the border of two provinces.

When Zhang Yunyuan arrived, a clear, cold moon hung high in the sky.

Under the moonlight, a familiar figure stood with his hands behind his back on the edge of the cliff, his clothes fluttering in the mountain wind.

It is precisely because it has no roots that it grows.

He slowly turned around and looked at Zhang Yunyuan.

This time, his gaze was deeper and more complex than it had been in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley.

Those clear eyes seemed to hold endless stars, as well as a bottomless abyss.

As for Zhang Yunyuan, due to the further advancement of his Hunyuan Dao Qi, his temperament became increasingly simple and genuine.

The two looked at each other from a distance, their eyes flashing with an indescribable light.

"You're looking for me."

Wugensheng spoke first, his voice calm.

Zhang Yunyuan nodded slightly and asked directly:

"I want to know, how exactly did Zuo Ruotong die?"

Although he was familiar with the original work, his presence had already caused many changes in the world of one man.

He wasn't sure if what was happening now was exactly the same as in the original story.

Wugensheng remained silent for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

In the end, he recounted everything that happened that night at Trinity Gate.

From how he helped Zuo Ruotong regulate her Qi and assist her in breaking through, to how Zuo Ruotong's Dao heart collapsed after the breakthrough, and how she ultimately committed suicide in resentment.

Throughout the entire process, he made no attempt to conceal or embellish anything.

Zhang Yunyuan listened quietly, his expression remaining largely unchanged.

This result is fairly consistent with the plot he remembers.

After listening, he looked at Wugensheng and suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"Your spirit seems somewhat different from the one I saw last time."

"Back in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley, I remember your divine spirit merely dissolved all the Qi, causing it to return to nothingness."

"But now, it seems you can still use it to 'organize' other people's Qi?"

Upon hearing this, Wugensheng's eyes flashed with surprise, which quickly turned into a relieved smile.

"You can see right through this."

He readily admitted it.
