Watching the Five Elements flow freely and instinctively in Wang Xuan's hands, and feeling the strange phenomena around him that transcended common sense and interfered with reality.
Even the old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei, whose cultivation had reached a state of perfection and whose mind was already calm and undisturbed, couldn't help but shrink his pupils slightly at this moment, and his face showed a rare look of shock, and he was even momentarily lost in thought.
Yes, he has always been very optimistic about Wang Xuan.
However, premonitions aside, when this path was actually trodden and people reached a realm that even he found unfathomable and mysterious, the impact of witnessing a legend become reality was still incredibly strong.
"Master, I've succeeded."
Wang Xuan dispersed the five elements phenomenon in his hand, and the Dao aura around him gradually calmed down. He spoke in a calm tone, as if he were simply stating a fact.
Silence remained in the hall for several breaths.
Then, the old master slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the shock on his face gradually transformed into an extremely complex emotion, including relief, admiration, emotion, and a sense of ease as if a great burden had been lifted.
He looked at Wang Xuan, his eyes unusually bright, and uttered three words in quick succession:
"Good! Good! Good!"
Each "good" carries a different weight. The first "good" is a sincere praise for Wang Xuan's personal achievements.
The second "good" is the feeling of excitement that someone has finally touched that legendary realm again in this long-silent world of supernatural beings.
The third "good" is a reaffirmation and satisfaction of the truth that the "Tao" is infinite and its flame is passed down from generation to generation.
"Very good……"
The old master's voice carried a subtle hint of vicissitude and excitement.
"In this world of supernatural beings, it has been far too long since anyone has been able to reach that legendary realm."
He seemed to be speaking to Wang Xuan, or perhaps to the statues of the Three Pure Ones in the hall, or to this world.
"Over time, many schools of thought have become lost in the struggle for power and the pursuit of strange and ingenious techniques, forgetting the original intention of the sages who founded their schools to explore the world and pursue the transcendence of life and death."
Sectarianism and the struggle for interests have almost blinded the seeker of the truth.
He stared intently at Wang Xuan, as if looking at a living miracle, a walking signpost:
"Now, you've succeeded. You've essentially told everyone that the road isn't over; it's still there. It's just a matter of whether future generations have the wisdom, perseverance, and opportunity to walk it!"
Actually, if it weren't for Zhang Huaiyi's actions, the Old Celestial Master might have reached the legendary realm.
Unfortunately, Zhang Huaiyi hid for his entire life because of the Jia Shen Rebellion. Only then did the Old Celestial Master inherit the Celestial Master's Ordination from his master, willingly putting himself in a shackle.
Chapter 116 The Lu Family and the Promise
At the summit of Longhu Mountain, in front of the Celestial Master's Mansion, the bluestone-paved platform seems to still retain the lingering echoes of discussions on Taoism.
The old Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei stood with his hands behind his back, his long, snow-white eyebrows fluttering gently in the breeze.
His eyes, which had seen through a century of change, were still fixed on the direction Wang Xuan was heading down the mountain, even though that figure had long since disappeared into the winding mountain road and lush forest.
As the mountain wind passes by, the pines rustle in the breeze, like a silent farewell.
After a long while, the elderly man slowly withdrew his gaze, his deep eyes filled with complex emotions, including relief, emotion, and a hint of barely perceptible relief and anticipation.
He gently stroked his long beard, murmured a low murmur, and his voice drifted away on the wind:
"The younger generation surpasses the older generation!"
This sigh is not one of despondency, but rather a heartfelt lament after witnessing history and the inheritance and transcendence of the "Tao".
He had guarded the Celestial Master's Mansion and the world of supernatural beings for far too long. Now, witnessing a brand new and broader road stretching out beneath Wang Xuan's feet, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders and a new hope had been found.
After a moment of silence, the old Taoist master turned around, the wide sleeves of his Taoist robe drawing a smooth arc in the air.
He walked steadily back into the incense-filled hall to continue his duty of guarding this place, but his state of mind was different now.
Wang Xuan, after descending Longhu Mountain, did not linger at all, and his movements appeared unsteady.
In just a few steps, he covered a distance that would take an ordinary person a long time to traverse, heading straight towards the Lu family's residence. His purpose in this journey was solely to fulfill the final karmic obligation.
The mansion was grand and imposing, with a profound history. Ever since I last met Wang Xuan at Longhu Mountain, I had personally witnessed his almost supernatural abilities.
Especially after sensing Wang Xuan's terrifying mastery of the "Triple Rebirth" technique, which far surpassed his own and might even rival the ancestor's, Old Master Lu Jin felt as if he had been injected with a new vitality.
The melancholy of the past and the knots in his heart accumulated due to the Tongtianlu and the Jia Shen Rebellion seem to have loosened considerably.
He became even more diligent in his cultivation and devoted himself to guiding the younger generation of his family, especially his talented great-grandson Lu Lin.
On this sunny day, in the courtyard, Lu Jin was meticulously correcting Lu Lin's subtle deviations during her rehearsal of the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage. Although his tone was stern, his eyes were full of expectation.
"Lin'er, focus your energy on your dantian, and the key to reversing the cycle of rebirth lies in a pure mind, free from any distractions! Your breath has already dissipated by three-tenths!"
Lu Lin held her breath and focused her mind, trying her best to regulate the flow of Qi within her body.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the courtyard. The old butler, who was in charge of managing the Lu family's internal and external affairs, hurried in, bowed respectfully, and said:
"Sir, someone has arrived outside. They say they are here to see you!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin temporarily let go of the nervous Lu Lin, a hint of surprise on his face.
Although the Lu family has a wide circle of friends, they rarely receive direct visits unless it is a holiday or there is a special occasion.
"who is it?"
He stroked his beard, somewhat puzzled.
The butler looked troubled, thought for a moment, and then respectfully replied:
“This… This old servant is blind and has never seen this person before. However, he claims to be Wang Xuan.”
"What?! Wang Xuan?!"
Upon hearing this name, Lu Jin felt as if she had been struck by a subtle electric current, and she abruptly stood up from her armchair, her face filled with shock and disbelief.
Wang Xuan? The Wang Xuan who made a name for himself on Mount Longhu, whose methods were profound, and who reached an unprecedented level in the Reverse Life Triple Realm? Why would he suddenly come to visit?
The shock lasted only a moment, before being replaced by immense joy.
Lu Jin reacted quickly and immediately called out to Lu Lin, who was also somewhat stunned:
"Lu Lin, come on, quick, come with me to greet the guests!"
He specifically called Lu Lin along, his intentions were self-evident. Wang Xuan's mastery of the Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique was unparalleled in the world, and if one could receive even a few words of guidance from him, it would be invaluable.
For Lu Lin, this was an opportunity that would bring her immense benefits! Such an opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime chance!
The grandfather and grandson walked quickly through several courtyards and arrived at the reception hall.
In the hall, a figure sat calmly and leisurely, seemingly blending into the surroundings while also possessing a unique style.
He held a cup of tea in his hand and took a sip, his movements natural and fluid, without the slightest restraint or formality.
Who else could it be but Wang Xuan?
"Haha! Young Wang! It really is you!"
Lu Jin arrived before he did, his loud laughter filling the entire hall. He strode forward, his face beaming with undisguised joy.
"You're such a busy man, how come you have the time to come to an old man like me? Have you run into some trouble outside? Just tell me! If I, Lu Jin, can help, I won't hesitate!"
His words were straightforward, carrying the boldness of a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person of the martial arts world) and an undisguised admiration for Wang Xuan.
When Wang Xuan saw Lu Jin enter, he calmly put down his teacup, stood up, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Lu Jin, and behaved with neither servility nor arrogance.
He raised his head, his gaze clear and peaceful, and looked at Lu Jin with a smile:
"Senior Lu, I apologize for my intrusion in visiting, but it is not because I have encountered any trouble."
He paused, then said in a serious and sincere tone:
"I have come here to keep my promise."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin was taken aback at first, then suddenly remembered.
Back in Longhu Mountain, Wang Xuan once said that he would make it through the path of the Three Reversal of Life.
At the time, he thought it was a long-term agreement with Wang Xuan. He never expected that Wang Xuan would come to fulfill it in person so soon!
Lu Jin thought she would never see the rest of the story in her lifetime, but she didn't expect Wang Xuan to do it so quickly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin's smile faded slightly, replaced by an expression that was a mixture of immense anticipation, a touch of nervousness, and utmost seriousness.
He knew that the "promise" Wang Xuan spoke of was no ordinary polite remark.
This could very well be a pivotal exchange that impacts the Lu family, and even the future of the Triple Rebirth. He took a deep breath and returned the greeting with equal solemnity:
"Mr. Wang... I, Lu Jin, am extremely grateful!"
Since Wang Xuan has come, and he came because of his promise, does that mean he has succeeded?
If Wang Xuan has already succeeded in his mission, then Wang Xuan at this moment...
Chapter 117 Completely over
Lu Jin's incredulous guess, "Mr. Wang, you..." was barely out of her mouth when the air seemed to be thick with anticipation and tension.
He looked at Wang Xuan, his eyes filled with hope, inquiry, and a great expectation he dared not utter aloud—about the Triple Rebirth, about that long-lost path ahead.
Wang Xuan didn't say much, but met Lu Jin's gaze and nodded very slightly, yet with absolute certainty.
The movements were seemingly casual, yet carried immense weight.
This nod was like a boulder thrown into Lu Jin's heart, instantly stirring up a tidal wave of emotions within him.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and his breath caught in his throat. Although he had a premonition, he was still taken aback when Wang Xuan personally confirmed that he had indeed crossed the legendary threshold and reached a supreme realm that even the founder of the Three Ones Sect might not have been able to reach.
That kind of shock, originating from the depths of his soul, still makes this old man, who has experienced a century of trials and tribulations and seen countless storms, tremble with emotion.
"I never expected this... I really never expected this..."
Lu Jin murmured to herself, her gaze towards Wang Xuan filled with immense complexity.
"Wang Xuan is so young... yet he has already reached such a level... This is truly unprecedented, and it is unlikely that anyone will ever surpass him!"
This is not jealousy, but an exclamation of witnessing history and miracles.
The realm he pursued throughout his life, and even the realm that the predecessors of the Sanyi School had struggled to reach but could not attain, was actually realized in such a young man.
Suppressing his turbulent emotions, Lu Jin immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He quickly and gently pulled his still somewhat bewildered great-granddaughter, Lu Lin, in front of Wang Xuan, his tone carrying an unprecedented solemnity and a hint of barely perceptible earnestness:
“Mr. Wang, this is my great-grandson, Lu Lin. He is quite talented and kind-hearted. He also cultivates the Reverse Life Triple Realm of my Sanyi Sect.”
He turned to Lu Lin and solemnly instructed her:
"Lin'er, quickly greet Mr. Wang! Mr. Wang's mastery of the Reverse Life Triple Realm has reached a state of perfection, making him unparalleled in the world. It is an immense blessing for you to even have the chance to meet him!"
Although Lu Lin was young, she had been influenced by her family since childhood and was very perceptive. Seeing her great-grandfather taking the matter so seriously, she immediately realized that the seemingly calm young man in front of her was an extraordinary person.
He dared not be negligent, and respectfully stepped forward, bowed deeply to Wang Xuan, and performed a grand salute, his voice clear and filled with reverence:
"Junior Lu Lin greets Mr. Wang."
Wang Xuan accepted the bow without hesitation. This was not arrogance, but a rule in the tradition, representing the bestowal and transmission of knowledge; his identity at this moment was that of a preacher.
Wang Xuan turned his gaze to Lu Jin, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable power.
“I said before on Mount Longhu that if I succeeded in this journey, I would come to find you. Today is the day to fulfill that promise.”
Before Lu Jin could respond, Wang Xuan slowly raised his right hand, his long, slender index finger gleaming with a warm, jade-like luster.
He gently placed his fingertip on Lu Lin's brow, who was still somewhat nervous.
The movements were gentle, as if they were merely brushing away a speck of dust.
However, the instant her fingertips touched her brow, Lu Lin trembled violently, her eyes instantly losing focus and becoming vacant.
He felt an indescribable, exquisite torrent of information, like a river bursting its banks or the starlight at the dawn of the universe, surging into his sea of consciousness.
It is not just simple words or images, but contains countless profound insights, deep understanding of the three essential aspects of reversing life, and the highest understanding of the transformation of Qi and the dual cultivation of body and mind.
There are even vague directions on how to break through existing bottlenecks and look towards higher levels...
These messages were as profound as the sea, encompassing everything and far beyond his current comprehension. Yet, like seeds, they were deeply imprinted on his soul, waiting to take root and sprout in the future.
The whole process lasted only a short while.
Wang Xuan gently withdrew his finger, his posture remaining composed.
Lu Lin, however, stood frozen in place with her eyes closed and brows furrowed, as if she had turned into a statue. Her entire mind was immersed in that vast enlightenment, and she was desperately trying to sort out and remember that tip of the iceberg.
