Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 388 Severing the Three Corpses!

The greed, anger, and obsession on their faces froze instantly, then crumbled and disintegrated silently, like sand paintings scattered by the wind!
After that, the three corpses also transformed into three extremely pure energy flows that had lost all negative will and form.

The black energy at the heart meridian transformed into a warm, clear spring, nourishing the entire body.

The black qi at the Qi Sea transformed into a gentle, warm breeze that circulated throughout the body.

The black energy in the Niwan Palace transformed into a clear starlight, illuminating the sea of consciousness!
The three corpses that had lingered in his body for over a decade, like maggots clinging to his bones, were completely refined, absorbed, and returned to their origin at this moment!
Zhao Zhen's aura suddenly subsided, and then, like a volcano that had been dormant for thousands of years, it was awakened, and an indescribable, balanced, peaceful yet boundless aura naturally erupted!

This aura was no longer cold and restless; it was as pure as a newborn being and as vast as heaven and earth themselves!
He seemed to have completely shed all worldly impurities, radiating a perfect and serene Taoist aura from within.

The first snowflake, which had been brewing in the sky for a long time, finally drifted down slowly, gently covering Zhao Zhen's hair and shoulders.

He slowly rose, his movements natural and fluid, without any trace of his true qi stirring the outside world, yet it seemed as if every step he took was in harmony with the pulse of the earth.

He looked at Zhang Zhiwei, who stood to the side with a smile, his eyes filled with clarity and gratitude after experiencing hardships.

"Ten years have passed since I honed this sword, its sharp edge yet to be tested. Today I present it to you; who has a grievance to redress?"

Zhao Zhen recited softly, his tone calm, yet it exuded a sense of freedom and transcendence, as if he had severed all worldly shackles.

Zhang Zhiwei clapped his hands and laughed loudly, his voice echoing through the mountains and forests.

"Hahahaha! Good! What a brilliant 'slash'! It's not about wielding a sword to slay external demons, but about the light of the heart illuminating and dispelling the thieves within!"
Congratulations, Lao Zhao! From now on, your path will be unobstructed, and the world will be your oyster!

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, then looked deeply into Zhang Zhiwei's eyes.

"No, my humble status is not worthy of such praise from the Heavenly Daoist."

"Speaking of which, Old Zhang, you're really something. You quietly severed the three internal organs before I did."

Zhang Zhiwei was slightly taken aback and glanced at Zhao Zhen with some surprise.

"How did you tell?"

"your eyes."

Zhao Zhen slowly raised her hand and pointed at Zhang Zhiwei's eyes.

"Eye?"

"Yes, I noticed about five years ago that your eyes are quite different from before."

His eyes, gentle and refined, lacked the sharp glint of someone who cultivates Qi, making him appear at first glance like an ordinary person.

You don't think I don't know what this means, do you?

Zhang Zhiwei didn't say much upon hearing this, he just chuckled.

"Returning to simplicity, with inner brilliance and restraint, Old Zhang, you've finally surpassed me..."

"On the path of cultivation, there is no such thing as who comes first and who comes last."

Zhang Zhiwei shook his head, a barely perceptible bitterness appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"It seems I severed my three corpses before you, but who can say for sure who will go further in the end?"

Zhao Zhen didn't speak, but gave Zhang Zhiwei a deep look.

He knew that Zhang Zhiwei said this because he himself was bound by the thousand-year-old restriction of the Celestial Master's Decree.

To others, the Heavenly Master's ordination might be a blessing, but to Zhang Zhiwei, it was undoubtedly a prison.

From the moment he received the Celestial Master's ordination, Zhang Zhiwei's path to immortality was completely severed!

After a moment, Zhang Zhiwei shook his head, putting all his thoughts out of his mind.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Now that you, Lao Zhao, have reached the Divine Essence Concealment Realm, your ten years of secluded cultivation have finally paid off."

"So, what are your plans now? Are you going to go down the mountain to check out your local area, or are you just going to stay here on Longhu Mountain as well?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Before I knew it, I had been staying on your Longhu Mountain for ten years."

During those ten years, apart from Zhao Fangxu and Yu Yang visiting him every year under the guise of visiting Celestial Master Zhang Zhiwei, Zhao Zhen had almost no contact with the people down the mountain. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had been completely isolated from the world for ten years.

"I must admit, your leisurely life on this mountain is truly like that of immortals. It's all thanks to the ancestor of your Celestial Master's Mansion who knew how to choose a place!"

"That's for sure."

Zhang Zhiwei laughed heartily.

"But I'm sorry, Lao Zhang, I still have to go down the mountain."

Zhang Zhiwei was not surprised by Zhao Zhen's choice.

"Are you planning to go check on that kid Fang Xu?"

"Ah."

Zhao Zhen nodded.

“The first few times I went up the mountain, I could clearly sense that the silly boy wanted to say something to me, but in the end he was too embarrassed to speak.”

Although I won't be interfering in company affairs this time, I should still check on the people I personally mentored since I'm coming down the mountain.

"Yes, not just you, I noticed it too. I heard that our relationship with those foreign devils has been very strained ever since the war ended in 53."

I think that's probably why Fang Xu is having such a headache.

"Maybe."

Zhao Zhen shrugged and turned to look at the small house where he had lived for ten years.

"Old Zhang, even though I've gone down the mountain, you have to keep this courtyard for me. I might come back to live here again someday!"

"Haha, don't worry, the courtyard will definitely be reserved for you."

If you're worried about the vegetables you've grown, I'll have Heqian come over every day to look after them for you.

You've given him a lot of guidance over the years; you're practically his mentor now. It's only natural that you have him look after the yard for you!

"Ah."

Zhao Zhen nodded, and as he moved his fingers in the air, a complete golden talisman was formed in an instant.

Swish! ! !
The next instant, accompanied by a flash of golden light, Zhao Zhen's figure vanished from Zhang Zhiwei's sight.

Just as Zhao Zhen left, Tian Jinzhong's voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Old Zhao, Old Zhao, come play chess with me. My senior brother is such a terrible chess player, he cheats on his moves, I..."

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Tian Jinzhong stopped talking abruptly upon seeing his senior brother.

"Junior brother, what did you just say to me?"

Zhang Zhiwei turned his head and asked with a dark face.

"Oh, senior brother, you're here too..."

Tian Jinzhong blinked, a hint of embarrassment flashing in his eyes.

"I'm a terrible chess player? You think you're so good?"

"Senior brother, you didn't win a single game of chess against me..."
