Chapter 223 The True Man

Let's go back a few days.

"For the next few days, please wait for me outside, Master."

Looking at the valley in front of him, which was faintly emanating a strange aura, Li Ang spoke to Zuo Ruotong and the others beside him.

Although the mysterious place left behind by the Ziyang Mountain Man could not affect him, it might not have the same effect on the Sanyi Sect members standing nearby.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Ruotong nodded slightly: "Okay."

Seeing that he didn't need to say anything more, Li Ang didn't hesitate and immediately stepped into the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley.

As soon as he entered the valley, he keenly sensed an unfamiliar aura trying to influence him.

More accurately, it was guiding Li Ang to circulate his Qi.

"Ah."

Li Ang deliberately relinquished control over himself, allowing the energy of the valley to influence him.

As he felt the energy within his body begin to slowly circulate along his spine, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"Three carts of force?"

This concept is mentioned in works on internal alchemy such as the "Collection of Teachings of Zhong Lü". It is not surprising that Ziyang Shanren, the master of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley, practiced this method as a great master of internal alchemy in the Southern School of the Song Dynasty.

Rather, it would be more accurate to say that many orthodox Taoist practices today are related to this concept.

'If that's all there is to it, you can't become an immortal.'

With this thought in mind, Li Ang continued walking into the valley.

In his view, the energy within the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley makes living beings more human-like than immortal.

Is there a principle of "education for all"?

It's fortunate that this isn't the world of Investiture of the Gods, otherwise Li Ang would have worried that a Taoist priest riding a leopard might suddenly jump out and point at him, saying, "Fellow traveler, please wait."

However, if it were the original version of "Investiture of the Gods," he wouldn't be afraid with his current strength.

Of course, if he were to sew up some ancient, fantastical, or other strange things that only emerged in modern times, then Li Ang should consider what kind of god he would be made into after being listed.

Fortunately, the background of the one-person world is more inclined towards the traditional concept of cultivating immortality, and has little to do with derivative works like "Investiture of the Gods".

While pondering, Li Ang had already followed the guidance of the aura to arrive at a cave.

What is the Human Cave?

Looking at the dark cave entrance in front of him, Li Ang did not step into it immediately, but instead stood there lost in thought.

What is a human being? What is a human being?
After a while, he walked in thoughtfully.

Li Ang already had a general idea of ​​what the immortals wanted in terms of "the principles of heaven and earth, and the skills of immortals".

The cave has many branching entrances, and an ordinary person would likely get lost very quickly if they entered rashly.

As for Li Ang
Having the Tenseigan is no different from having a cheat code in an FPS game; it's just that some side paths obviously can't confuse him.

In other words, he wanted to walk through all twenty-four valleys in one go; otherwise, he could have just gone straight to the last place.

Soon, Li Ang arrived at a slightly more spacious cave.

There were some odds and ends placed around the edge of the cave, and in the very center stood an unremarkable pavilion.

The former are all rootless things, while the latter are naturally the checkpoints to enter the final place.

Ignoring the clutter around him, Li Ang walked straight into the pavilion, where a pile of footprints lay on the ground in the center.

This challenge is called the "Standing Tall and Firm on the Ground" challenge. Li Ang has read the original novel, so he naturally knows how to solve it.

With a light tap of his finger, two streams of milky-white Qi accurately struck the Yongquan acupoints on the footprints.

Rumbling--

With a heavy sound, the mechanism, shaped like a tai chi symbol, slowly opened, revealing an entrance leading underground.

Seeing this, Li Ang calmly walked in, and immediately a wall covered with densely packed characters came into view.

At this point in time, Wugensheng had not yet destroyed the Taoist scriptures left behind by the people of Ziyang Mountain, and naturally, he had not inscribed the five characters "Nine Bends and Winding Cave" to warn future generations.

After carefully studying the words on the wall for a while, Li Ang reached out and gently touched four of them.

Human life is precious.

From the moment he stepped into this Twenty-Four Valleys, it seemed he couldn't get around the word "human".

After briefly recalling the original plot, Li Ang's eyes gradually brightened.

It seems that even the Eight Extraordinary Skills are more or less related to the character "人" (person).

"This Ziyang Hermit has grand ambitions, but it seems he's missing something."

Although he had figured out the general idea, Li Ang still vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Fortunately, as a disciple of the Sanyi Sect, he had some understanding of the Ziyang Mountain Man.

Ziyang Shanren's original name was Zhang Boduan, but he later changed his name to a single character.

Success means sincerity.

The combination of sincerity and humanity can be described using a term with special meaning in Taoism.

real person.

A true person is one whose body is empty and void, united with the Dao, in harmony with nature, and capable of everything, knowing everything, and understanding everything.

Of course, being omniscient and omnipotent is a bit of an exaggeration, but it does reflect the real person's worth.

As for his job advancement, [Immortal].
The focus is on both immortals and humans.

And don't forget that there's also a person to the left of the character for "immortal"!
"That's it, that's it!"

Li Ang controlled his increasingly agitated emotions and sat cross-legged on the spot.

After understanding the so-called principles of heaven and earth, the skills of immortals naturally came into being.

Just as the Eight Extraordinary Techniques were perfectly suited to their creators, so too were the Immortal Techniques that Li Ang comprehended.

As a sense of understanding dawned on him, a notification popped up on his job panel.

[Successfully obtained occupation: Immortal].

Looking at his hands, which were as white as jade, Li Ang couldn't help but murmur in admiration, "This is it."

"Immortal."

Having said that, he no longer suppressed his aura and began to proclaim his existence to the world.

Unlike other systems, the Immortals, who are based on the Qi Refiners, do not exude an aura that inspires fear; instead, they are characterized by their righteousness and tranquility.

Of course, this only refers to the aura emanating from Li Ang; as for the strange phenomena he caused...
The celestial energy surged forth, and a milky-white energy ball, centered on the Twenty-Four Grains, suddenly spread out in all directions.

A radiant glow descended from the sky, bathing the entire Twenty-Four Valleys in its light, as if heaven and earth were celebrating the birth of an immortal.

At this moment, whether they were members of the Sanyi Sect, members of the Wudang Sect of the Celestial Master's Mansion, or members of the Quanxing Sect, they all stared blankly at the strange phenomenon before them.

"what's the situation?!"

Just when everyone was at a loss, a voice suddenly rang in their ears.

"If you go with the trend, you can avoid discipline and calculate disaster, but if you go against the trend, you can master Yuan Gong."

"Master."

"I did it."

Following the sound, they looked at the figure in the sky being supported by a milky white wisp of energy. At this moment, the radiant glow, flowing with five colors, was like a Taoist robe draped over the figure.

Upon hearing the figure's words, a sense of absurdity arose in the hearts of the assembled Xuanmen masters.

这 是
He became an immortal?! How is that possible?! In this day and age, is it even possible for someone to become an immortal?!

However, considering what Zuo Ruotong said earlier, it seems that this is the only possibility.

A true immortal has emerged from the Sanyi Sect.

At this moment, Zhang Jingqing, the contemporary Celestial Master, looked at the young man in the sky, and a rare moment of discomposure appeared on his face.

After a long while, he muttered to himself in an extremely complicated tone, "It actually became known as the Trinity Sect."

Just minutes before, Zhang Jingqing was advising the Left Gatekeeper on the other side to think twice before acting.

Upon hearing his words, the squinty-eyed man beside him finally stopped being as arrogant as before.

He scratched his cheek and said in a low voice, "There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. I've certainly learned something new today."

As he spoke, the squinty-eyed man couldn't help but mentally ponder the other person's name.

Li Ang
How come he had never heard of such a being before?

Meanwhile, the Wudang and Shangqing sects, also orthodox sects of Taoism, behaved much like the two from the Celestial Master's Mansion, their faces showing utter discomposure.

Given their level of moral character and self-cultivation, they shouldn't have acted this way.

You can become an immortal!
What unfamiliar words.

However, this ultimate goal, which usually seemed so distant and elusive, was now vividly present before their very eyes.

After a long silence, the group of high-ranking Xuanmen masters exchanged glances, then bowed to the figure in the sky.

Seeing this, the other strange people who were in a daze gradually came to their senses.

There were practically no fools present, and they gradually realized what had happened.

Fire Virtue Sect, Art Character Sect, Flowing Cloud Sword
These renowned supernatural forces had incredibly complex expressions on their faces at this moment.

Damn it, they came to watch a show today, who would have thought they'd run into something like this?

In a sense, this was indeed quite a show.

The premise is to eliminate the sense of horror they feel.

“My goodness, you little brats are really lucky to be born at this time. Thousands of years ago, none of my seniors from the Huode Sect had ever seen such a scene, and we don’t even know if we will ever see it again in the future.”

Huo Dezong's leader, Lao Chu, swallowed hard, then slapped each of his disciples to bring them back to their senses.

This burly man realized with absolute clarity that the Xuanmen sect was about to undergo a major upheaval. No, it should be said that the entire world of supernatural beings was about to change.

The Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique was already ridiculously strong, and now it's even stronger.
To be honest, Lao Chu is already hesitant to even think about it.

Of course, the group of supernatural beings invited by the Three Ones Sect to witness the ceremony were more shocked than anything else; there were others who should truly be afraid.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look at the disheveled man in the center of the field with a touch of pity.

Wugensheng, the Quanxing sect leader who has a grudge against the Sanyi Sect, is probably in big trouble. He might even lose his life here today.

At this moment, Wugensheng looked at the somewhat lost young man in the sky and couldn't help but chuckle bitterly: "Haha."

"I never imagined that someone like you could still emerge in this day and age."

He had read the Daoist canon left by the hermit of Ziyang Mountain, but as for becoming an immortal...
That's complete nonsense.

Before today's events, this is what Wugensheng thought.

But now
He began to wonder if he had missed something.

Thinking of this, he said with a droopy face, "You said you've become an immortal, so just treat me like a fart."

Wugensheng retracted his earlier thought that the Left Gate Master on the other side wanted to spare his life.

They came here to take his life!

With this kind of force, even if all the Quanxing were tied together, they still couldn't defeat the opponent.

As a result, quite a few members of the Quanxing Sect have already started to secretly run away.

Before Li Ang could react to his words, Si Chong said viciously, "You wish!"

At this moment, the old man who cared deeply for the Sanyi Sect could not hide his joy. He never dreamed that the Sanyi Sect would have such a day.

My own junior apprentice actually succeeded!?

You have to understand that becoming an immortal is basically just something that exists in various legends; nobody has ever actually seen it with their own eyes.

But now, Si Chong actually saw it, which made him feel like he was dreaming.

Settlements, severe settlements!

Not only him, but also the disciples led by Lu Jin and Chengzhen were extremely excited.

Without a doubt, from today onwards, the Sanyi Sect will become the leader of the Xuanmen, even if they don't intend to.

It has nothing to do with anything else, it's simply because of the special meaning brought about by immortals.

Unlike the excited members of the Sanyi Sect, Zuo Ruotong looked at the figure in the sky with a hint of worry on her face.

After those first few words, his disciple never spoke again.

He was a little worried that something might have gone wrong.

Fortunately, Zuo Ruotong's worries didn't last long, because Li Ang spoke up.

He looked at the Quanxing Sect Leader below, who had a fawning smile on his face, and said calmly, "Wugensheng, since you broke through the Reverse Life Triple Realm with your Divine Spirit when you stormed the mountain, then today I will use the Reverse Life Triple Realm to break through your Divine Spirit."

"That way you won't accuse me of bullying the weak."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback, as it was the first time they had ever heard of such a thing.

It's no wonder that there's a grudge between the Sanyi Sect and Wugensheng. After all, it's common knowledge that the Reverse Life Triple Technique is the fundamental method of the Sanyi Sect. How could they not be anxious when someone has dug up their roots?

Upon hearing Li Ang's words, Wu Gensheng's face fell.

He knew it! He knew it!
If you were to ask what the Quanxing Sect Leader is feeling right now, it would be regret. If he hadn't been so bored back then that he took Li Muxuan to break into the Sanyi Mountain Gate, he wouldn't have gotten himself into this mess today.

Of course, the above statement is false.

Even if Wugensheng could have foreseen what would happen today, he would still have led Li Muxuan to break through the mountain gate.

This is also why he was able to become the leader of Quanxing Sect.

At this moment, Wugensheng took a deep breath to control his emotions, and then got into position: "Since you have drawn up the line, then I will accept it."

"However, I have one more request, which is that I hope you can release the disciples behind me."

Faced with his request, Li Ang remained expressionless, simply drifting slowly down from the sky to the ground: "This is not something you can decide."

He had no intention of using events that hadn't even occurred to settle scores with the Quanxing demons present.

But some things have already happened.
There are quite a few truly evil people in the Quanxing sect, and Li Ang wouldn't mind taking care of them along the way.

Upon hearing this, Wugensheng's expression immediately darkened.

He knew that things couldn't be resolved peacefully today unless he could defeat his opponent.

'Tsk, this is a big problem.'

Even with the divine spirit, a skill specifically designed to counter superhumans, Wugensheng still felt uncertain.

That person is an immortal.

Fortunately, the other party still had some martial ethics and exercised self-restraint.

Of course, if he knew the specific information about the "Immortal," he probably wouldn't think that way.

Li Ang's delay in taking action was precisely because he was checking information about this profession.
