Under One Person: The Sea Emperor Who Shattered Heaven and Earth

The young man was stunned: "Triple Rebirth... Is it really that miraculous?"

"It's more than just being a god," Jiang Zhen continued. "The first level of the Reverse Life Triple Realm can strengthen all the meridians in the body, giving one the strength of a dragon and a tiger. Carrying a hundred-pound boulder or a large log while running through the mountains is no different from you walking on flat ground. Wouldn't that be how you establish your sect?"

The young man was stunned, staring in the direction of the mountaintop.

After a short rest, the group continued climbing.

As the altitude increased, the air became increasingly cold and crisp. Finally, after turning around a protruding rock corner, an ancient and grand gate came into view.

An ancient marble archway stands at the end of the mountain road, with three powerful characters engraved on it: Sanyi Gate.

Strangely, there were no disciples guarding the mountain gate.

"Where...where have all the people from the Sanyi Sect gone? Why isn't there even a gatekeeper?" a young man muttered under his breath.

Jiang Zhen remained silent.

Suddenly, he sensed a presence.

It was an extremely light and pure Qi, an ethereal and omnipresent existence, like clouds and mist. This Qi was constantly rising.

"This aura..." Jiang Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely had a bold guess.

Before he could even lead his men close, a wildly joyful shout suddenly erupted from within the Trinity Gate. The sound pierced through the thick clouds, echoing powerfully through the valley:

"Hahaha! It's done! Senior brother has succeeded, the third level! It's the third level! By following the trend, one can avoid the disaster of Ji Suan; by going against the trend, one can obtain the Yuan Gong!"

The voice was powerful and penetrating, a kind of madness and relief that came after decades of suppression, finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Immediately following this were bursts of joyful, almost frenzied cheers:

"Triple... Master! Master has really arrived!"

"Master has succeeded!"

"The legendary triple! A triple!"

"Master has really reached the legendary third level... the third level really exists!"

Those were the sounds of tears of joy, the soul-stirring cries of countless young disciples as their beliefs were confirmed.

Then, these scattered shouts gradually coalesced into a torrent, the voices of dozens or even hundreds of people ringing out in unison, carrying a kind of fanaticism, swirling above the Trinity Gate:

"Go with the flow to avoid the calamities of scheming, and go against the tide to achieve great success!"

"Go with the flow to avoid the calamities of scheming, and go against the tide to achieve great success!"

"Go with the flow to avoid the calamities of scheming, and go against the tide to achieve great success!"

Chapter 74 Triple Earth Immortal

The cheers from the mountaintop were still echoing, and the phrase "Going with the flow can avoid calamity, while going against the flow can bring great success" almost completely dispelled the dark clouds in the sky.

Without waiting for his brothers, Jiang Zhen shifted his feet and, like a blurry shadow, leaped onto the heavy gate of the San Yi Gate.

Before my eyes, dozens of disciples of the Three Ones, dressed in plain Taoist robes, were kneeling on the ground. Without exception, they were all in tears, frantically kowtowing towards the center of the field.

"Thank God, Master has truly succeeded!"

Amidst the sobs of joyful weeping, Jiang Zhen immediately spotted an oddball kneeling on the outermost edge.

This person, with messy long black hair and wearing an ill-fitting Sanyi robe, was in a state of extreme astonishment, his mouth slightly open, his pupils constricted, staring intently at the center of the arena.

So this must be Li Muxuan.

A few steps directly in front of Li Muxuan stood a figure with its back to him.

That person was Wugensheng, and he stood there quietly.

However, everyone's gaze eventually focused on the air in mid-air.

There, Zuo Ruotong stood suspended in mid-air.

His entire body exuded an almost transparent purity; his hair and skin seemed to be transforming into a pure form of "qi".

Without relying on any external force, he simply floated in the void, his clothes fluttering without wind, and his body exuding a faint pure white aura, looking just like an immortal.

Jiang Zhen did not step forward.

While suspended in mid-air, Zuo Ruotong ignored the almost frenzied disciples below her, and also did not look at Jiang Zhen who had suddenly entered.

Instead, he lowered his head and looked down at Wugensheng.

Then, he slowly raised his right hand, which had been completely transformed into Qi. His fingertips traced faint white marks in the air. He frowned, and his eyes revealed a sense of confusion.

In the midst of this deathly silence, the person kneeling on the ground suddenly charged forward as if possessed.

"Wugensheng! Get out of here!"

Si Chong's eyes were bloodshot as he pointed at Wu Gengsheng and cursed him. His voice was hoarse with excitement, yet tinged with fear: "Today is a joyous day for our Sanyi Sect. My senior brother has already ascended to immortality and is unwilling to shed blood with a monster like you. We will not pursue your trespassing today! Get out! Get out of the Sanyi Sect now!"

The sharp sound seemed particularly jarring in the empty courtyard.

Zuo Ruotong finally came to her senses, her gaze shifting downwards to Si Chong.

"Si Chong, step back."

Si Chong was startled by this gaze, and his voice carried an almost pleading tone: "Senior brother, you have already reached the third level, there is no need to bother with these mortals. Such filthy people are not worthy of your divine eyes."

Zuo Ruotong remained silent.

Immediately afterwards, endless white energy surged out from his body, rapidly spreading in all directions. This energy seemed to be alive, intertwining and overlapping, finally forming a hemispherical barrier.

The white barrier completely enveloped Zuo Ruotong and Wugensheng, and also isolated the entire world from the outside.

People outside cannot see what's inside, nor can they hear what's inside.

"Senior brother! What are you doing!" He rushed forward as if he had gone mad and pounded on the barrier, but no matter how hard he hit it, it didn't budge.

The disciples of the Three Ones panicked and quickly gathered at the edge of the barrier.

Time was ticking away, second by second.

For the disciples of the Three Ones outside, every second felt like centuries of torment.

Sudden.

An extremely dazzling white light exploded from inside the barrier!

The light did not spread outwards, but rather crumbled from the inside out, like the collapse of some kind of faith.

A muffled thud.

The white barrier instantly shattered into countless white fragments. These fragments dissipated in the air, transforming into a shower of light that fell upon the faces of every disciple of the Three Ones.

When the light completely faded, everyone present froze.

The radiant immortal who stood in mid-air was nowhere to be seen.

What appeared before everyone was an old man who was so aged that he was almost unrecognizable.

Zuo Ruotong's feet were planted on the hard ground, and her originally straight back was now hunched over like a bow.

His long white hair had turned lifeless and withered, his skin was wrinkled and covered with dull brown spots, and his body trembled slightly with every step he took. He looked exactly like an ordinary old man with little time left.

He walked with great difficulty toward the large mahogany armchair, each step feeling extremely heavy.

He seemed frozen in place, his mouth agape, making gurgling sounds in his throat, but unable to utter a single word.

Zuo Ruotong sat down in the chair, breathing heavily, like the sound of air leaking from his lungs.

silence.

A deathly silence.

After a long while, Zuo Ruotong raised her head.

His eyes were no longer clear, but murky. He stared ahead, his voice hoarse and weak:

"Wugensheng...you should leave."

Si Chong, who had been staring at Zuo Ruotong, was about to explode. He looked at his senior brother's withered appearance and then at Wu Gensheng, who was standing silently to the side.

"Kill him! Disciples of the Sanyi Sect, heed my command! Kill him! We absolutely cannot let him leave the Sanyi Sect alive!"

"Kill him!"

"Avenge Master!"

The disciples of the Three Ones immediately erupted in chaos.

In that instant, all thoughts of cultivation and rules were cast aside. All they knew was that this man had harmed their master, leaving him in this state.

"stop."

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority.

Those disciples who had rushed halfway abruptly stopped in their tracks.

"Master!"

"Senior brother! He's ruined you!"

Zuo Ruotong sat in the chair, his breathing heavy, and it took a lot of effort to say each word.

He looked around at the disciples he had personally taught.

"Do you... still acknowledge me as your master?"

The room fell silent upon hearing this.

The disciples all bowed their heads, sobbing uncontrollably.

Zuo Ruotong said in a hoarse voice, "If you still acknowledge me as your master... then step back. Si Chong, you step back too."

Si Chong trembled all over, his teeth grinding together. He stared intently at Wu Gensheng, his eyes filled with a hatred that seemed to want to devour him alive, but under Zuo Ruotong's gaze, he finally lowered his head and staggered to the side.

Zuo Ruotong turned her head and took one last look at Wugensheng.

"Let's go... let's go quickly." Zuo Ruotong waved her hand.

Wugensheng remained silent for a moment.

He bowed deeply to Zuo Ruotong, who was sitting in the chair.

After getting up, Wugensheng didn't linger.
