Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 205 Zuo Ruotong's Imminent Death
Trinity Gate.

Although the fact that the Reverse Life Triple Realm could not reach the Heavenly Realm was made public after Wugensheng caused a great disturbance at the Sanyi Sect more than ten years ago, the Sanyi Sect was downgraded from one of the "Mysterious Sects" to an ordinary sect.

But just as Wugensheng said back then, even if all the martial arts techniques of all the sects were included, the Reverse Life Triple Technique was still unparalleled.

In this entire world of supernatural beings, how many can truly be called "mysterious sects"?

It's nothing more than a very small number of sects like the Celestial Master's Mansion, Wudang, and Shaolin, which are rumored to have produced patriarchs who ascended to immortality.

Most sects in the world of supernatural beings, such as the Jiyun Society, the Shuzi Sect, and the Huode Sect, are just ordinary sects.

Ultimately, the idea of ​​ascending to immortality is far too ethereal and unrealistic; so much so that most people now consider it nothing more than a myth or legend.

The vast majority of extraordinary cultivators never imagined that they would one day ascend to immortality.

Therefore, compared to more than ten years ago, the Sanyi Sect, after lowering its status, not only did not decline, but the number of people who came to become disciples actually increased after the story of Zuo Ruotong successfully entering the third level and becoming a "terrestrial immortal" spread!

However, because the requirements for the talent of cultivators in the Triple Rebirth are extremely strict, although many people seek to become disciples, most of them can only return empty-handed.

This day marked the second monthly apprenticeship test of the San Yi Sect. In the past, the sect leader, Zuo Ruotong, would personally assess whether the children's aptitude was suitable for the Reverse Rebirth Triple Cultivation.

But to the disappointment of all the children, the legendary "Great Ying Immortal" never showed up.

"Senior brother? Why isn't the Left Sect Leader presiding over the test this time?"

"Yes, yes, my dad said that in the past, it was always the Left Gate Chief who personally selected the people."

"I came here hoping to witness the legendary 'Great Ying Immortal' in person, but now I can't even see him..."

……

Seeing the children's spirits dwindling, Lu Jin, who was in charge of the abbot's test, felt somewhat helpless.

"Everyone, Master has important matters to attend to today, which is why he asked me to preside over the meeting on his behalf."

However, please rest assured, as long as you pass the tests of the Lower Three Academies, your master will personally accept you as disciples and teach you the Reverse Rebirth Method.

Just as Lu Jin was frantically trying to calm the children down, a golden light suddenly shone before everyone's eyes.

As the golden light faded, a tall, slender figure appeared before Lu Jin.

"Zhao Zhen?"

Upon seeing the figure clearly, a look of joy appeared on Lu Jin's face.

"Zhao Zhen? Could it be the chairman of Nadutong, the Golden Thunder Lord Zhao Zhen?"

"Golden Thunder Lord? Who is that?"

"You've never heard of Jin Xiaolei Jun? Did you come from the mountains?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

"Uh, okay, never mind."

……

Zhao Zhen glanced at the children, then frowned and walked up to Lu Jin.

"What exactly happened? Why is Master Zuo suddenly in such a hurry to see me?"

"This……"

Lu Jin clenched his fist. After instructing his junior brother to arrange for the children to go to the Lower Three Academies, he also pulled Zhao Zhen aside.

"what happened?"

Faced with Zhao Zhen's persistent questioning, a trace of grief flashed in Lu Jin's eyes.

He pursed his lips, forcibly suppressing his sadness, and after a long pause, he slowly spoke:

"My master... his time may be coming to an end."

"What?!!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen's pupils instantly contracted.

However, after a brief moment of shock, Zhao Zhen quickly regained her composure.

Yes, if you calculate the time, it's about time...

Master Zuo was an elder of the same generation as the Celestial Master. In addition, he had suffered a hidden injury when he made a mistake while cultivating the Reverse Life Triple Technique in his youth, which forced him to maintain the Reverse Life Triple Technique to protect his life for many years.

Just like carrying a stone ball on one's head, it's alright for a short while, but carrying it for years will eventually take a toll on one's mind and spirit. When he entered the third level, Master Zuo had already been contemplating suicide, but Zhao Zhen forcibly kept him in the mortal world by threatening the survival of the San Yi Sect.

Now, more than ten years have passed, and even the seemingly insurmountable Triple Rebirth Technique has finally succumbed to the ravages of time...

"Did Master Zuo say this himself?"

"Ah."

Lu Jin nodded.

"Not long ago, my master suddenly called me to his room and told me that his time was coming to an end, and asked me to write a letter to call you here."

"Where's the left-hand man?"

"Forbidden area in the back mountain".

"Walk."

Zhao Zhen placed his hand on Lu Jin's shoulder, and with a flash of golden light, the two appeared outside the forbidden area behind the San Yi Sect in the next instant.

"Aren't you being a little too hasty..."

After realizing what was happening, Lu Jin couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhao Zhen.

"Stop talking nonsense and get to the report."

Helpless, Lu Jin stepped forward and shouted, "Master, Zhao Zhen is here."

"Yes, I know. Come in."

Inside the cave, an aged voice slowly drifted out.

Zhao Zhen and Lu Jin exchanged a glance, a hint of sadness flashing in their eyes simultaneously.

Sure enough, when the two entered the cave, what came into their view was Zuo Ruotong, who was no longer maintaining the Reverse Life Triple Realm and looked old and frail.

"Master! What's wrong with you...?"

A look of anxiety flashed across Lu Jin's face. He knew that his master had to maintain the reverse life technique because of his hidden injuries.

But now that he's voluntarily untied the reverse life force, wouldn't that mean...?

"Jin'er, it's alright."

Zuo Ruotong waved her hand calmly.

"My time as a teacher is coming to an end, so in these last days, I want to put down the ball that I've carried on my head my whole life."

"master……"

Lu Jin slowly lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Silly boy, why are you crying? Birth, aging, sickness, and death are all part of life, and there's no escaping them."

After saying that, Zuo Ruotong also looked at Zhao Zhen who was standing to the side.

"coming……"

"Hmm." Zhao Zhen nodded with mixed feelings.

Although he had long anticipated this day, Zhao Zhen still felt a heavy weight in his heart as he watched the old man walk step by step toward death.

"I heard from Jin'er that you are now the chairman of Na Du Tong?"

"No matter how my status changes, in front of you, I will always be just a little fellow who has received your great kindness."

"Ha ha……"

Zuo Ruotong chuckled and then waved to Lu Jin.

"Jin'er, you can go down now. There are some things I want to talk to Zhao Zhen about alone."

"Yes, master."

Lu Jin wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, then respectfully clasped his hands and left.

With Lu Jin's departure, the already quiet cave fell into an even more deathly silence, so quiet that even the two of them could be heard clearly.

"Little one, do you know why I specifically asked you to come here?"
