From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Join the Celestial Master's Mansion —

Let's just forget about it.

If he really becomes a Taoist priest, it's estimated that Zhang Jingqing won't be willing to let him go down the mountain for a long time.

He had no desire to touch the legacy of the Celestial Master's Mansion or the Celestial Master's Degree.

Moreover, as a time traveler, what kind of thing is it to stay in one place for a long time during this unprecedented period of change? Naturally, one should travel around the great mountains and rivers of this land, and take the opportunity to help the weak and oppressed, and seek inspiration in the process.

If possible, he hopes to change the world and allow extraordinary people to appear openly and legitimately in the new society of the future.

After all, this world is different from the world he lived in before. Qi is a real and objective existence, and the power of the extraordinary people comes from it.

Since it is an objective fact, why should it be concealed from the public?

It's just self-deception.

If one comes into this world only to cultivate oneself, resulting in no change to the world, in the end, those with supernatural abilities will still have to hide beneath normal society, developing along the original trajectory, with the world of supernatural beings hidden beneath normal society governed by the All-Knowing Bureau.

Wouldn't it be a wasted trip?

As for whether this will lead to a worse future...

Jiang Liu wouldn't even consider that.

If you are timid and hesitant, you will find it difficult to even live, let alone cultivate yourself!

Hearing Jiang Liu's polite refusal, Zhang Jingqing wasn't annoyed. She simply patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Good boy, it's settled then. When you have time in the future, you must come to my Longhu Mountain for a visit and help me teach this good-for-nothing disciple a lesson."

Zhang Zhiwei: "..."

Is this what other people's children are like?

I've experienced that!

After Zhang Zhiwei, no one dared to challenge Jiang Liu anymore.

Even though a small number of people still had some minor grudges against Wang Yaozu and knew that Jiang Liu would not show his true abilities in their contest, they were now frightened by the terrifying combat power of Jiang Liu and Zhang Zhiwei and did not even have the courage to challenge them.

Meanwhile, the members of the families present believed that the future of the supernatural world would be dominated by Zhang Zhiwei and Jiang Liu. After all, these two had shown martial prowess that was no less than that of the older generation at such a young age. In ten years, no, perhaps only five, these two would be able to grow to the level of the top supernatural beings like Zhang Jingqing and Zuo Ruotong.

young!

These are their greatest assets!

But if we really want to determine who wins, many people believe that Zhang Zhiwei is more likely to surpass Jiang Liu in the future.

After all, the heritage of the Zhengyi Ancestral Court far surpasses that of Jiang Liu, a mere rogue cultivator. Even if Zuo Ruotong were willing to take him as a disciple, Longhu Mountain would still be stronger in terms of foundation!

However, there is a prerequisite—

The world will no longer be in chaos.

Extraordinary person...

We cannot control this world.

# Chapter 25 End of the Quanxing Ritual

"Kid, you're getting cocky, huh?"

When Jiang Liu sat back down next to Wang Yaozu, the latter said sarcastically, "It was clearly me who withdrew from the Quanxing's initiation ceremony, so how did it become your one-man show?"

"Please, as a son, how can I just stand by and watch you get beaten to death?"

Jiang Liu rolled his eyes.

Are you feeling wronged?

He took on his father's burdens, and that was the most tiring part of it!

Fortunately, after Zhang Zhiwei came on stage, no one else came up. Otherwise, given his current condition, it's uncertain how long he could have lasted.

In the blink of an eye, the sun set in the west.

Liu Wei, the manager of Yinghelou, walked up to the two men with a gong and said, "The seven days have passed, and no one has come. Senior Wang Yaozu, from today onwards, you are no longer Quanxing. Please strike the gong."

Wang Yaozu slowly got up, took the gong and hammer, and handed it to Jiang Liu: "You'll basically be handling this ceremony for accepting blessings. You can go and strike it."

Jiang Liu took the gong and hammer, pondered for a moment, and then handed it back to Liu Wei.

What's going on here?

Liu Wei was puzzled.

"On the first day, it was Manager Liu who struck the gong. To ensure that the event had a proper beginning and a proper end, it was naturally Manager Liu who had to strike the gong."

Jiang Liu had his reasons, and smiled calmly, "After all, my master was timid back then and didn't go to find the elders in your Jianghu Inn himself, but instead went to Yinghelou. So Manager Liu will be a witness."

Liu Wei turned his head and saw that his elders had nodded. He smiled and took back the copper hammer, saying, "Brother Jiang Liu, you are truly a remarkable person. If you ever need anything in the future, you can come to me anytime. I can provide you with information three times for free."

"If I don't agree, then I'm disrespecting Brother Liu," Jiang Liu laughed heartily, showing no politeness.

Jianghu, huh?

It's not just about fighting and killing.

Liu Wei walked up to the gong, cleared his throat, and shouted, "Is there anyone else who wants to settle their score with Ghost Hand King? If so, please come forward. Otherwise, if this hammer is struck, it would be unethical for you to cause trouble for Senior Wang Yaozu in private later!"

"I'll give you five numbers!"

"five!"

"Four!"

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

As the last number fell, Liu Wei raised the gong mallet high above his head and struck the bronze gong.

clang!

The dull sound of a gong echoed through the night sky.

Everyone knew that from this moment on, Ghost Hand King was no longer the Quanxing Sect, but a rogue cultivator.

"I am no longer Quanxing."

Wang Yaozu murmured to himself, then burst into laughter. He looked at the prominent figures present and straightened his bowed posture.

Leaving aside the younger generation of various sects, the older generation was all very well-mannered. They no longer viewed Wang Yaozu with the same rigor they had for the Quanxing sect, but simply as a prodigal son who had returned to his old ways.

Afterwards, the leaders of each sect led their disciples away, intending to give them a thorough training session later.

The younger generation of extraordinary individuals were also shocked by Jiang Liu and Zhang Zhiwei's strength, which far surpassed that of their peers, and decided to work hard in the future to try to close the gap with them.

"Are we going back to the Sanyi Gate area?"

Wang Yaozu asked curiously.

“When you ‘ran away from home,’ your son came to me for help. He fought with me and broke the floor tiles in the courtyard of the Sanyi Gate. They need to be repaired.”

The floor tiles weren't worth much, but Zuo Ruotong couldn't bear to see Jiang Liu leave with Wang Yaozu after that.

In particular, by observing the contest between Jiang Liu and Zhang Zhiwei, he gained a better understanding of the gap between the Sanyi Sect and Longhu Mountain. He even had some guesses about the third level of the Reverse Life Triple Technique, realizing that the third level might not be able to reach the heavens. So, taking this opportunity, he imparted the method of the third level to Jiang Liu, which can be considered as leaving a hope.

"You old codger, don't think you can make fun of me just because I'm no longer a member of the Quanxing sect."

Upon hearing Zuo Ruotong say that she had "run away from home," Wang Yaozu said fiercely, "It's just a few floor tiles! I'll pay you back!"

"I want him to fix it."

Zuo Ruotong was not annoyed, but pointed at Jiang Liu to make her stance clear.

Jiang Liu indeed wanted to stay at the Sanyi Sect for a while longer, to read through all of its books and fill in any gaps in his knowledge. So he said to Wang Yaozu:

“Master, it’s only right for a father to help his son to make up for it. But so many people have come to us before, and all the money you’ve saved up, as well as my savings, have been used up.”

"What?"

Only then did Wang Yaozu belatedly realize that the bundle at his waist was completely empty, with nothing left.

"I'm penniless now!"

"Don't worry, you won't go hungry. At the Sanyi Gate repair site, the Left Gate Chief will also provide me with meals, which I will bring back to you later."

Jiang Liu laughed heartily.

"Do you need to bring it?"

Wang Yaozu glanced at the serious-looking Zuo Ruotong and sneered, "I can at least perform magic tricks on the street. Even if I don't earn much money in a day, it's enough to fill my stomach. Maybe I can even save some to help you find a wife in the future."

"Find me a wife? You might as well find yourself a companion." Jiang Liu pursed his lips.

"I'd like to, but at my age, what young virgins would be interested in me?" Wang Yaozu rolled his eyes.

"I go!"

Jiang Liu was speechless. "A virgin? At your age, with a bald head and missing teeth, you should be grateful that some old widows around your age have taken a liking to you and are planning to make do with you!"

"Hey, you little brat, how dare you talk to your dad like that?"

Wang Yaozu said angrily.

"That's true!"

Jiang Liu spoke with an air of seriousness, showing no respect whatsoever to the old man.

Zuo Ruotong, standing to the side, watched with envy.

Although he was the head of the Sanyi Sect and had taken in many disciples, none dared to speak to him like that. Even the precocious Li Muxuan only dared to curse him when Jiang Liu saw through his thoughts, and even then, it was merely a venting of his inner emotions…

When Jiang Liu, Wang Yaozu, and Zuo Ruotong returned to the territory of Sanyi Gate.

A ray of morning sunlight broke the silence of the night.

Zuo Ruotong's junior brother, Si Chong, and Zuo Ruotong's disciple, Cheng Zhen, were already waiting outside the town.

"Senior brother!"

"Master!"
