Under One Person: I can manipulate magnetic fields!

The third stage of reversal is still a long way from ascension.

The first stage of reversing the cycle of rebirth is the transformation of Qi into skin and flesh. True Qi permeates the surface of the skin and flesh, transforming the skin and muscles.

It can obtain the power of dragons and tigers, and its physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary superhumans; minor injuries heal instantly, and it is almost immortal at the skin and flesh level; its skin turns slightly white when activated.

This is the entry threshold for most disciples of the Sanyi Sect, and many disciples stop here.

The second level is the transformation of Qi into muscles, bones, and internal organs. This transformation penetrates deep into the bones, internal organs, and blood, not just the outer shell, but also partially transforming the internal body into a Qi state.

Upon entering the second level, the skin and blood become noticeably pale; one becomes impervious to blades and spears, water and fire, and all diseases; severed limbs can regenerate directly, and shattered internal organs can be repaired with Qi. When Lu Jin fought Li Muxuan, his fist was twisted, so he severed his own hand, which instantly regenerated.

However, the second level is not permanent and requires active cultivation to activate; it consumes a great deal of energy, and losing control of emotions will cause one to overdraw their own source of energy; there are still vital points, and the soul and upper dantian can be targeted.

The third level is returning to one's original state, where the entire body is transformed by innate Qi, which is also Zuo Ruotong's current realm.

Theoretically, once the body's flesh and blood completely shed their acquired attributes, the entire person transforms into pure primordial energy, without any physical vital organs. As long as the primordial energy remains intact, the physical body can be reshaped.

However, there is still a long way to go before one can ascend to immortality.

Therefore, Zuo Ruotong's current goal is to break through to the fourth level.

If he can truly break through to the fourth level, perhaps he can truly ascend to immortality. This trip to kill the ninja leader might be a great opportunity.

After all, even if one reaches the third level, one still cannot truly transcend life and death, nor can one achieve the ascension that the sect seeks.

His goal is to become a true immortal.

“Master, even though the physical body of the triple Qi transformation is unparalleled, the Japanese ninjas are cunning and vicious, with hidden weapons, poisons, and sinister forbidden techniques emerging one after another. They are far beyond the reach of ordinary martial arts opponents.”

Li Muxuan muttered to himself.

"Yes, Master, guns and cannons may not be able to harm our Ni Sheng, but if they use evil magic, poison, and miasma to disturb your soul, wouldn't you be in danger? Why would you want to put yourself in danger?"

Shuiyun couldn't help but offer some advice.

"Mu Xuan, you are quick-witted and insightful, but you are still young and cannot see through the essence of cultivation. And Shui Yun, you too, your temperament is still a bit lacking."

The reversal of life involves three stages: defying the decay and flourishing of the physical body, defying the natural order of Heaven, but the true path to immortality is never about secluded cultivation or living in seclusion.

Zuo Ruotong said calmly.

These two disciples are still too young.

"Master, what if something happens to you?"

Li Muxuan couldn't help but say.

"There's no 'what if'."

Zuo Ruotong gently interrupted him, her tone still gentle, yet carrying an undeniable certainty.

"The third level of the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage: the physical body returns to the innate state, and the Qi body merges with heaven and earth. Ordinary physical attacks, evil poisons and gu can no longer harm me in the slightest. As for the soul and dantian... I have spent half my life tempering the innate true Qi, and my soul and the innate Qi are completely integrated. It is no longer comparable to the soul of an acquired mortal body. The mere unorthodox methods of the Eastern Japan cannot shake my foundation."

Zuo Ruotong smiled.

"Master, that's what they say..."

Shuiyun also thought this was unreliable.

"Remember this: true immortals are never escapists who hide from the world."

Zuo Ruotong shook her head.

“Master, we understand the principles you are talking about, but…”

Shuiyun still wanted to persuade her.

"Our Sanyi Sect has been established for hundreds of years, cultivating the Way of Reversal of Life, not only for personal immortality and transcendence, but also to uphold the righteous path of heaven and earth. To live in accordance with heaven and drift with the tide is to be a mortal; to go against heaven, to uphold righteousness and eliminate evil, is the way of our Sanyi Sect."

Chaos forges the heart, and battle proves the Dao. Having long resided in the mountains, though my cultivation has reached the third level, my Dao heart lacks a worldly clarity. This campaign against the Bihe Ren, confronting the chaos of heretical sects, and eliminating evil is the perfect opportunity to hone my Dao heart and break free from its shackles.

Zuo Ruotong said calmly.

"Disciple...understands."

Li Muxuan gave a bitter smile; it seemed there was no way to persuade his master.

All they could say was that they couldn't stop their master from making a decision.

I wonder when Senior Brother Lu Jin will return from the Lu family. I'll see if he can persuade their master.

Chapter 677 The Art of Seizing Chaos! (Two Chapters Combined)

Li Muxuan and Shuiyun exchanged a glance, seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes; they couldn't persuade their master either.

Their master cultivated himself throughout his life, his mind was pure and clear, but once he made up his mind, almost no one in the world could change it.

So there's not much they can do even if they come.

“Mu Xuan, Shui Yun, I know you are always afraid that I will die and my lineage will be cut off, but you two must know that true inheritance is not the continuation of a single sect or school, but the immortality of the Great Dao and the eternal existence of the righteous path.”

Zuo Ruotong smiled slightly and looked at the two of them.

He naturally knew what the two were worried about.

But if a cultivator only cares about himself, what difference is there between him and an ordinary person?

"I cultivate reversal of life, defying the decay of the physical body and the shackles of destiny. But if one dares not enter the world to slay evil and prove the Dao in the face of adversity, even if the physical body is immortal and one lives a long life, one is nothing more than a mortal who hides from the world and lives a life of eternity. What kind of true person is that?"

Zuo Ruotong continued.

"I simply feel that these mere heretics from Japan are not worth Master risking his life for; all the sects joining forces is enough."

Shuiyun muttered to herself.

He naturally didn't want his master to go there. What if that ninja leader had some insidious tricks and his master was killed? What would happen to the Sanyi Sect then?

"Shuiyun, what's the point of questioning whether it's worth it or not? If others can stop me, and I don't go, what does that mean?"

Zuo Ruotong shook her head.

Shuiyun's temperament is still not good enough.

"Alright, Master."

Shuiyun gave a bitter smile.

It seems he really couldn't persuade his master.

However, what his master said wasn't entirely unreasonable; he just had some selfish motives.

"Ahem, Master, then this disciple will immediately organize the manpower of the sect and accompany you to besiege the Bihe Ninja."

Li Muxuan coughed.

Since they couldn't stop their master, they decided to go with him.

"This disciple is also willing to follow Master into battle."

Shuiyun also hurriedly called out.

He was also worried about his master. Since he couldn't stop him, why not just follow along like his junior brother Mu Xuan?

"There's no need for everyone to go. You two stay at Sanyi Gate to secure the mountain gate and look after the sect's records. I'll go alone."

Zuo Ruotong couldn't help but smile.

These two lads aren't afraid of death, but this operation is still quite dangerous, and he can handle it alone.

"Master!"

The two spoke at the same time, clearly feeling somewhat helpless.

"I have achieved the third stage of reverse rebirth, and my true qi is in harmony with heaven and earth. More people would only be a burden and hinder me."

Zuo Ruotong smiled and looked at the two of them.

After achieving the third level of his reverse rebirth, ordinary methods could no longer harm him.

So this statement is not untrue.

"This time, I am not taking action to claim credit, but only to slay evil and prove my Dao, and to hone my Dao heart. If I can use the chaos and bloodshed of this world to break through the last shackle, the fourth level of rebirth may not be impossible."

Zuo Ruotong continued.

He still had ideas about the path to heaven; if the third level wasn't enough, then he would go for the fourth.

"Master!"

Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan and Shuiyun could only manage a wry smile.

"No need to say more!"

After Zuo Ruotong finished speaking, she lightly touched the ground and her figure floated up.

Swish!

His figure vanished from the spot like a streak of white light.

"I hope my master will return safely."

Li Muxuan looked helpless.

"Master's mind is made up, and we can't stop him. We can only hope that he will come back soon."

Shuiyun said helplessly.

At this moment, in Northeast China, at Changbai Mountain.

A group of shamanic disciples gathered at the foot of the mountain.

"Master, all the troops are ready and can rush to the aid of Tang Sect and Celestial Master's Mansion at any time."

Guan Shihua put her hands on her hips and said calmly.

"This time, the Sanyi Sect, the Celestial Master's Mansion, and the Tang Sect have joined forces to besiege the Bihe Ren. We must lend a hand. Our Northeastern branch of martial arts guards the area beyond the Great Wall and protects the peace of this region. We cannot stand idly by this time!"

Liao Huzi said with a chuckle as he puffed on his pipe.

Now that the major portals have joined forces, they cannot remain uninvolved.

Moreover, Hiroshi's purpose in Japan was not simple, and he felt he needed to step in to help stop him.

Otherwise, Northeast China is likely to face serious trouble in the future.

"Yes!"
