From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

And this ghost bride is none other than the vengeful spirit of Dong Xiaoyu!

Before her death, Dong Xiaoyu never married and was quite curious about matters between men and women. After her death, her spirit remained. Because Old Master Ren broke ground, the energy changed, and a small part of the other seven spirits completed her spirit, giving her intelligence. Because of her obsession while alive, she wanted to experience the pleasures of love between men and women.

Qiu Sheng's cultivation level was low, and he had let his guard down without realizing it.

It's a pity that he's about to lose his vital essence so soon after embarking on the path of cultivation...

···

"not good!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Liu, who was following Lin Jiu down the mountain, noticed that the paper monkeys left around the Ren family had been disturbed. "Uncle Jiu, the Ren family has been attacked!"

Then, to Lin Jiu's astonishment, red and blue runes appeared on Jiang Liu's arms, opening a circular hole in front of him.

"go!"

Before Lin Jiu could even ask questions, Jiang Liu grabbed his hand and jumped into the hole together.

This is one of the four methods of innate talismanic diagrams:

The universe is manipulated!

Capturing the sun and moon, shrinking mountains—these are spatial techniques.

Ren Jiating's talk of "Empty Hands" and "Bone Claw Cultivation" are all methods for using spatial techniques. Jiang Liu, on the other hand, has established the Qimen Central Palace with his five internal organs. His inner landscape is like heaven and earth, and his body is a self-contained universe, which allows him to use the techniques of this universe.

Back in Goose City, this method was also used to teleport the Heart Monkey to the location using the Water, Fire, Yin, Yang, and Qi Pills as coordinates.

Now that he has granted the title of Mother Wood, he possesses four of the five divine powers, and the circulation of his Qi throughout the body is becoming increasingly perfect, enabling him to travel through space with others.

When Lin Jiu came to his senses, he realized that he had already arrived at the Ren family with Jiang Liu, and he was surprised: "You actually mastered the art of talismans? It's somewhat similar to the Eight Gates Teleportation Technique of sorcerers? This distance... is comparable to the escape techniques of various sects!"

But now is clearly not the time to talk about these things.

boom!

The gate of the Ren family's European-style building was broken, and the surrounding walls also crumbled.

Lu Jin carried Ren Tingting out of the crowd, followed closely by Ren Jiating, who carried the unconscious and pale-faced Ren Fa on her back.

As for Li Muxuan—

"Oh!"

Before the smoke had cleared, another explosion came from the building, and a figure was sent flying backward.

It was Li Muxuan!

Jiang Liu raised his hand, and the magnetic field wrapped around his ankle. Using the power of Tai Chi, he dissipated the force in his body and pulled him to his side.

"Are you okay?"

Jiang Liu inquired.

"fine!"

Li Muxuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stared wide-eyed, grinned, and sneered, "That thing is interesting!"

"Roar!"

With a roar, the smoke dissipated, revealing a figure about two meters tall:

With a blue face, red beard, and flowing crimson hair, and gleaming black and gold iron claws.

A belt wrapped around the belly and waist, made of stone, with bare chest and exposed body covered in scales.

Standing upright in front of the hall, the wind howls; looking up at the sky, I roar at the moon with a booming voice.

A pair of hands with dark blue, sinewy veins, the tendons twisted and knotted like dragons and snakes.

If you ask what this strange thing is—

The First Constellation of the West, Lord Ren, the Star of Kui!

# Chapter 102 Earthly Immortal

"When did this corpse demon arrive?"

Seeing the corpse demon's appearance, which was almost identical to the Yellow Robe Monster described in "Journey to the West," except for the difference in clothing, Jiang Liu's eyes turned serious.

What puzzled him was that he had placed paper monkeys near the Ren family's residence, so if this corpse demon had come, he should have sensed it immediately.

But when he arrived, the corpse demon had already broken into the Ren family compound and killed Ren Fa.

Although Ren Fa was being carried on Ren Jiating's back, he had two large gashes on his neck, and all his blood had been drained, making him beyond saving; he was just a corpse.

Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan recalled the scene after Jiang Liu parted ways with them—

then.

After Jiang Liu left, Li Muxuan and Lu Jin rushed back to the Ren family and met up with Ren Jiating.

The three patrolled the perimeter of the Ren family's residence. Nearly half an hour later, a huge commotion came from inside the Ren family's residence, similar to the sound of shattering floor tiles, followed by screams.

So the three of them immediately barged in.

The corpse demon actually emerged from underground, evading all of their detection!

Meanwhile, Master Ren had already been seized by the neck by the corpse demon and was being drained of his blood... They could only send two people to hold off the corpse demon while the other rescued Ren Tingting...

"It emerged from underground."

Li Muxuan spoke succinctly, staring intently at the corpse demon, "His target is very clear: Ren Fa and Ren Tingting."

"really--"

[Exactly the same as the plot!]

Jiang Liu, however, did not understand.

Lin Jiu clearly said that zombies are just corpses and do not need to suck blood. It is only the corpse gu that needs to eat, but it will not deliberately seek out close relatives. In fact, most people who raise corpses use their own Qi and blood to feed them, so that the corpse gu will only obey their commands.

But why is this "Old Master Ren" targeting the Ren family?

The most likely scenario is that someone nearby is controlling the corpse demon, targeting the Ren family, or that the corpse demon was fed with the Qi blood of Ren Fa and Ren Tingting beforehand, thus making them its target.

Jiang Liu is currently unaware of the presence of any other extraordinary individuals nearby...

Enough, now is not the time to think about these things.

Mind this.

Jiang Liu stopped thinking about it. With his mind filled with fiery energy and his willpower flowing like water, he held the Golden Staff and swung it out at will. In an instant, the staff grew longer and slammed into the man's body.

Boom!

The corpse demon was instantly blasted into the air, ten meters high.

Jiang Liu noticed that Jin Gong's Qi had been slightly depleted, and thought to himself, "No wonder Uncle Jiu said that to destroy this thing, one would need to rely on real thunder and fire, or risk one's life. Its body is so tough, and it carries some kind of special corpse poison that can deplete the Qi of others. Relying on one's own abilities, it is really impossible to destroy it."

As Jiang Liu breathed nine times, the restless mind returned to the heart, the wandering thoughts returned to the kidneys, the metal element entered the lungs, and the wood element settled in the liver, thus stimulating the spleen's earth energy—although Huang Po had not been granted a pardon, the spleen's earth energy could still be mobilized.

In this way, Jiang Liu mobilized the five internal organs and the five vital energies to help him circulate the Qi throughout the body, reverse the eight directions to stabilize the eight extraordinary meridians, and generate the ninefold Qi to circulate through the nine orifices.

The human body has three gates and nine orifices in the Eight Trigrams of the pre-heavenly system, with the central palace being the Niwan orifice.

The human body has eight extraordinary meridians in the Eight Trigrams of the Later Heaven, and the central palace is the five internal organs and five temples.

The brain interacts with the five internal organs and the five vital energies to form the innate eight trigrams and the acquired eight trigrams, creating a scene of innate and acquired harmony!

This is the end.

Jiang Liu's skin remained normal, but a thin, white, transparent film appeared around his body, like a magnetic field reversing the eight directions, or perhaps the Qi transformation skill of reversing the ninefold cycle of life.

A powerful aura shot straight into the sky, shining brightly. Lin Jiu, who was standing to the side, was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped back, his eyes wide open, and exclaimed, "This cultivation level—it turns out what my other fellow disciples said in their letters wasn't an exaggeration. This kid's skill level is truly comparable to that of the older generation of cultivators!"

At the same time, the corpse demon also landed on the ground.

Jiang Liu lightly touched the ground with his feet, and his figure disappeared in an instant, without stirring up the airflow. The onlookers only felt a gentle breeze on their faces.

When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of the corpse demon.

During exhalation.

A punch was thrown!

Bang!

Amidst the shockwave, the corpse demon was instantly sent flying backward, crashing into a grove of trees outside the Ren family's residence. Its body trembled violently, as if countless worms were wriggling inside.

Click!

After the corpse demon smashed seven or eight trees, it was bleeding from all seven orifices, its body covered in black and white liquid. Its chest heaved up and down, and it barely managed to stop itself by stomping its feet hard on the ground.

A pair of red eyes gazed at the river that seemed to have descended to earth like a god, and in the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of him.

Jiang Liu's eyes were indifferent as he raised his leg and delivered a downward chop!

How dare the corpse demon resist?

A wisp of yin energy appeared on his body, and he burrowed into the ground.

Jiang Liu's attack missed its mark and struck the ground.

Boom!

The ground within a radius of tens of meters cracked instantly, the surrounding trees were overturned, and a cone-shaped crater about three meters deep and seven meters wide was smashed in the center.

Lin Jiu, Lu Jin, Li Muxuan, Ren Jiating and the others who arrived later felt the earth tremble and unconsciously swallowed their saliva.

Is this river... a monster?

A bead of cold sweat dripped from Li Muxuan's forehead. He felt that catching up with the other person seemed like an impossible task.

But he will never give up!

Jiang Liu exhaled a breath of white qi, dispersing the ethereal, translucent white aura, and thought to himself, "The Yellow Granny hasn't been officially sealed, so controlling her will be a bit troublesome. She's actually caused such a commotion..."

Then, he jumped into the pit and said to Lin Jiu, "The corpse demon got away. We need to be careful from now on. There must be someone controlling it."

"Indeed, the fact that they were able to pinpoint the Ren family and target Mr. Ren means that someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes."

Lin Jiu then turned his gaze away from the messy scene.
