Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"Give."

"Uncle-Master, this is a cell phone, would you like to take a look?"

As his thoughts drifted away, Zhuge Yu handed Jiang Mo a brand-new cell phone. Unintentionally, another long-forgotten memory resurfaced before his eyes.

His childhood was tumultuous; he was abandoned by his parents at birth. After the old scavenger who raised him passed away, he wandered in bustling big cities, huddled in dark corners during the harsh winters, and ultimately succumbed to a hereditary disease.

That was a memory from long ago, in that distant and hazy era, when he was a child, he had seen this so-called cell phone.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in this world that was once ravaged by war, and became a disciple of the Trinity Sect. Having lived two lives, the more than ten years he spent growing up within the sect were undoubtedly his most precious memories.

This is his home, and he doesn't want strangers to come and go from this 'home' one after another, while his family will eventually pass away. Even if he stays here forever, is it still home?

It's someone else's home.

Jiang Mo felt ashamed. After a hundred years of cultivation, although he still retained his humanity, he was too tired to establish connections with new people that would inevitably disappear with the passage of time.

The path that Luo Wuyuan's ancestors walked may be the path he will walk.

With Zhuge Yu's guidance, Jiang Mo quickly mastered the operation of the phone and, at Zhuge Yu's suggestion, registered an account for the communication software.

"Uncle-Master, it's still early. I'll make a video call to everyone. They definitely won't know you're back."

"it is good."

"Beep beep!!!"

The video conference in the group was connected in less than a few seconds, and the people on the screen were undoubtedly the disciples that Jiang Mo used to know.

"Senior Brother Zhuge, how have you been?"

"What? Want to chat?"

As the others muttered to themselves, Zhuge Yu didn't keep them in suspense any longer. He pointed his phone's front-facing camera at Jiang Mo and said proudly:

"Look who's back!"

"Martial Uncle?!"

“Uncle Master!!!”

"Heh!! Junior brother!!!"

Jiang Mo looked at the small square image in front of him, which contained smiling faces, and exchanged pleasantries with a faint smile.

"Long time no see, everyone."

Off-screen, Lu Jin was reading in his study at home, Shui Yun was strolling through the night market, and Si Chong had gone fishing at a secluded lake...

Despite being separated by vast distances, they chatted in real time, sharing interesting stories, and didn't stop until two hours later.

Aside from Lu Jin, who was taking care of the family, all the disciples who went out had encountered bottlenecks in their cultivation. They had been stuck at the first level of the third level of the Profound Fate Realm for too long and had not been able to break through. Therefore, they chose to relax in the mortal world and seek an opportunity.

Chengzhen, who is inside the sect, is the second person to reach the second level of Xuanming in the long seventy years, after Jiang Mo.

Due to the constraints of family and relatives, even the once exceptionally talented Lu Jin was stuck at the first level of the Profound Fate Realm.

Zhuge Yu, on the other hand, had been cultivating too much, which distracted him and made it a long way from reaching the second level.

Ugly time.

Jiang Mo was not interested in the hot water shower provided in the dormitory.

He went to bathe in the pool behind the mountain. This place had been designated as a forbidden area by Si Chong and Cheng Zhen, and for nearly decades, no disciple had set foot here.

a long time.

After changing his clothes again, Jiang Mo sat on the green rock by the shore. He glanced at the sect not far away and transmitted his voice with his Qi.

"come over."

The simple word sent a jolt through Will, who was still in the underground laboratory. He immediately stopped his research, transformed into a gray-brown mist, and rushed through the layers of mountains and forests to the scene.

"The sect leader?!"

Will gasped in astonishment, his eyes wide with surprise. After twenty years of separation, the feeling that young man gave him was beyond description, even with all his life experience and vocabulary. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was as unfathomable as the Creator.

"sit."

As Jiang Mo spoke, the earth on the flat ground surged, and under the transformation of true law, a stone chair was born in an orderly fashion.

"How have things been these past few years?"

Jiang Mo asked casually. He had a certain degree of tolerance for this hunting dog that had been loyal for more than seventy years and had dealt with a lot of trouble for the sect. In 1995, he even gave it the opportunity to be free forever.

I never expected that this guy would actually be willing to come back.

After all, with his strength, he could live comfortably in any country in the world. Compared to the prosperity and development of those countries, Sanyimen was as backward as an ancient village.

"Thanks to you... I'm doing well."

Will sat casually on the stone bench, a smile playing on his lips, and remarked:

"After all this time, compared to those madmen across the ocean who arrest mutants and take them to their labs at the drop of a hat, wanting to dissect every cell to study the mysteries of evolution, the tragic fates of many mutants and people with superpowers have made me even more convinced that this place is more suitable for me to retire here. Do you mind, Master?"

The two had known each other for over seventy years, and Will believed that they had a good relationship. Every word he spoke came from the heart, without any pretense.

"..."

Jiang Mo chuckled, "Then why didn't you get arrested?"

"Luckily, I got out early."

Will replied gracefully, adding a timely joke:

“If they were really captured, it would be terrible for the hunters to be without their hounds. I think you would be willing to lend a hand, wouldn’t you?”

Jiang Mo smiled, not denying his guess, and continued to ask, "What's going on with the underground laboratory? Have you told Chengzhen about it?"

"Yes, he knows."

"I planned to develop an evolutionary agent to unlock genetic abilities, but things haven't gone as smoothly as I'd hoped. Meeting you today has only made my already wavering beliefs even more precarious. Humans cannot achieve a leap in life level through drugs..."

As he finished speaking, Will paused for a moment, then said in a tone of great envy:

"You seem to have evolved to a higher level, haven't you?"

"Ah."

"If you want to stay in the future, you can do it the same way as before."

"Master, thank you for taking me in, it's my honor."

The two talked for more than an hour, and it was almost dawn when Will left. He was granted the right to continue living inside the gate, but at the cost of forever remaining hidden in the shadows, cleaning up some trivial troubles for Jiang Mo.

Chapter 237 First Meeting with Lu Linglong, the Old Celestial Master's Invitation

In late June 2015, the day after Jiang Mo returned to his sect.

morning.

A streak of icy blue light streaked across the sky, crossing from one end of the sea of ​​clouds, and descended upon the mountain gate. Its immense power astonished several disciples who were sweeping the dust in the courtyard, their faces filled with admiration.

As the light faded, a tall, slender young man dressed in a suit and formal attire appeared.

He suddenly passed through three levels of enlightenment and was now an elderly man again. Beside him was a graceful young girl with long, pink hair that reached her waist, eyes like clear springs, and a lively and spirited personality.

"Master!"

"exquisite!"

A disciple sweeping fallen leaves not far away smiled and waved happily; it was Lu Lin, Chengzhen's second disciple.

Since joining the Sanyi Sect in 2005, he has practiced diligently for ten years and has reached the second level.

"Okay, I understand... my dear grandson, we'll talk later."

"Cousin, I'm going with Grandpa now!"

Lu Jin and Lu Linglong each responded with a sentence before heading towards the Sutra Repository.

Along the way, the old man's eyes showed deep nostalgia, and he didn't forget to give some advice:

"Linglong, when you see your grandmaster later, be sweet-talking and well-behaved."

"hold head high."

Lu Linglong was very curious about what kind of person that senior, whom her grandfather respected so much, was.

"Da da da."

The footsteps rose from the bottom to the top, and when they reached the fourth floor, a gentle breeze blew in from the open windows on all four sides.

Before Lu Linglong's eyes was a young man dressed in black with white hair, sitting cross-legged on a tea table and cushion a few feet away. He was very quiet, and beside him were several advisors she had seen before, who were chatting happily.

"coming?"

Jiang Mo looked up and spoke in a very gentle voice.

"Disciple Lu Jin, along with his great-granddaughter Lu Linglong, greets Martial Uncle!"

The old man was overwhelmed with emotion, and his eyes welled up with tears. After a separation of twenty years, he held this elder who had influenced his life and was still alive and well in great respect.

"Linglong greets Grand Tutor!"

The girl in the white shirt with a cartoon bear pattern also spoke obediently.

"Jin'er."

Jiang Mo patted the empty prayer mat beside him, indicating that this was the spot for the grandfather and grandson.

"Come here and sit down."

Once you get used to the way people address each other, there's no need to change it, especially since we're inside the room. Among the people in the room, Chengzhen, Changqing, and Zhuge Yu all look middle-aged and full of energy, while Lu Jin, who should be the youngest of his generation, looks like an old man.

"Is this the child?"

Jiang Mo's gaze fell on the girl's face. He had learned about Lu Linglong's situation from Chengzhen last night.

As she grew older, her soul became strong enough, and she later joined the Quanzhen Cultivation Sect. Even so, Lu Jin and Chengzhen never decided to reconstruct her body.

After all, she has been healthy since birth, without any illness or disaster. It's just that the bloodline in her body is too special. Their cultivation and vision are not as good as Jiang Mo's, so they are willing to wait for their uncle to return before asking for a solution.

"Yes, would you please check on this child for me, Uncle-Master, and see if he is alright?"

Lu Jin took Lu Linglong's hand and handed it to Jiang Mo, saying, "Linglong, use your ability."

"Oh."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Linglong's eyes narrowed slightly. She focused her mind, and with a 'pfft', blood splattered and quickly transformed into a dagger.

"This child...is born with the ability to manipulate blood."

Lu Jin had previously instructed his senior brother Zhuge to relay everything to his uncle, but due to Lu Linglong's presence, he concealed part of the truth from back then.

"I know, it feels somewhat familiar..."

Jiang Mo said softly. He grasped the girl's fair wrist and began to carefully sense the hidden ability sealed deep within her bloodline, which roughly overlapped with a certain memory from his past.

At this moment, Chengzhen added, "Uncle-Master, Fangying, one of the Thirty-Six Thieves who was dealt with by Weir back then, also had this ability."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mo remained silent at first, then observed and analyzed Lu Linglong's blood. After a few breaths, he finally drew a conclusion.

"No....."

"I think I've figured out the source of Linglong's power. The power flowing in her blood is extremely similar to, or even the same as, the inhuman monsters among a group of overseas supernatural beings who attacked me when I first traveled around many years ago..."

"This...you've encountered this before?" Everyone was astonished.

"It should be a 'list' of overseas supernatural organizations. They use several ancient viruses to contaminate their blood, guide their mutations, and then stimulate various primal abilities hidden deep within their bodies that cannot be awakened. By ingesting the viruses, their primal abilities are revived and undergo extreme changes..."

"Not only the list, but also the supernatural beings from other countries back then, who frantically chased and fought each other to seize a forbidden alchemical artifact that had been left behind in their own countries."

"Back then, I was young and full of vigor. I hated how these guys were recklessly trampling on our land and killing our compatriots during their search, so I fought them and even shattered that forbidden artifact in the process..."

Jiang Mo calmly recounted this old story.

What injured him back then wasn't just the unclean fire from Japan, but also the various killing moves of those monsters on the list, including Lu Linglong's ability to manipulate blood. When developed to its fullest potential, it could even control other people's blood and hold the power of life and death.

If he hadn't reached the pinnacle of his Reverse Life Second Stage cultivation at that time, enabling him to fully transform his Qi, he probably would have perished long ago under the siege of those overseas experts.

"Uncle-Master... there's also a virus inside Linglong's body?!"

Meeting Lu Jin's worried gaze, Jiang Mo nodded and said:

"The number of viruses is currently pitifully small, but as her abilities continue to awaken, it will eventually increase explosively."
