Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

Chapter 76 Transmitting the True Method

Late at night, in Qingxin Palace.

Six disciples, namely Si Chong, Cheng Zhen, Lu Jin, Chang Qing, Shui Yun, and Sheng Sheng, who had cultivated to the second level of the Reverse Life Realm, sat on futons on both sides. Following the common direction of their gaze, Jiang Mo, dressed in white, sat upright.

"I have wandered the world for twenty years, and Heaven has not failed me; I have finally gained something."

"Now, this true Dharma of the Three Ones should also be passed on to you all."

"Wow!"

A cluster of crimson flames flickered in Jiang Mo's palm, its temperature extremely high, drawing the attention of everyone present.

The transformation of material forms was entirely at his command, evolving from flames into wood, metal, rock, and water.

"This is the mystery of the first level of the True Law: extracting the Qi of nature and utilizing it to evolve all things."

"The Five Elements Qi is merely the foundation for entry; beyond that, there is the application of Yin and Yang Qi."

Jiang Mo placed his hand down, and the clear water instantly transformed into a cold, dark aura, which then turned into a blazing white light, like the essence of the daytime sun, extremely hot.

"Mastering one level allows one to refine the Qi of nature, decompose all things, and then reconstruct them. This has many uses. The core is to build a bridge between the physical body and the world, using the Qi of all things to nourish the body, constantly transforming back and forth to achieve a balance of continuous life."

“When you cultivate to the extreme, it’s not difficult to create Qi thunder or divert heavenly thunder.”

"The second level of reverse rebirth has a strong enough physical body that is perfectly suited to the true method of this level. As long as the path of qi circulation is not deviated and is followed step by step, it will not harm the body."

Upon hearing this, everyone kept it in mind, carefully considering each word and not daring to miss any detail.

"When the first level of true cultivation is perfected, the second level of rebirth can be completed, which is equivalent to the third level of rebirth. One's destiny returns to its true form, and at that time one can further cultivate the second and third levels of true cultivation."

"The dual true method lies in plundering the Qi of others and carrying out bidirectional assimilation."

"The Triple True Law draws upon the primordial energy that permeates the universe and transforms it with the previous two."

Jiang Mo gave a general explanation, but instead of directly imparting the true incantation, he asked Lu Jin to step forward and demonstrate.

"Everyone, the Three Ones True Method and the Reverse Life Heart Technique are the foundation of our school, and I have no intention of keeping them to myself."

"Uncle-Master, do you want us to uphold the precepts? Or do you want us to place a restriction on them?"

Shuiyun was puzzled and spoke first:

"This disciple understands your intention. The sect's methods should not be passed on to outsiders without our permission. If it causes trouble, we may be held responsible."

"This is only one of the reasons;"

Jiang Mo frowned slightly, pondering as he offered his explanation:

"In this vast world, extraordinary people emerge in great numbers. Over thousands of years, the various secret techniques and forbidden arts have been incredibly amazing. In their specific fields, they far surpass me, a complete novice."

"What worries me is that if you encounter any misfortune while you are out there, based on the soul-seizing techniques I have learned during my travels in the Northern Desert, I can completely extract your memories and search them at will."

“This…is indeed inappropriate, junior brother, you are right to consider it.”

Si Chong hesitated before speaking, as an elder of the sect, he naturally did not want to see such a thing that threatened the sect's continuation happen.

"Is that to place a restriction to prevent them from searching your soul?"

Chengzhen guessed that his uncle's solution was definitely not that simple.

"No."

Jiang Mo shook his head and smiled: "In that case, wouldn't you all lose your freedom?"

"I do not want to, and will not, use restrictions to limit you all."

"So what do you mean?" Chengzhen couldn't contain her curiosity.

"Since you have practiced the Reverse Life Technique, I will simply integrate a layer of true cultivation into your physical bodies."

"There is no formula, but you can still use it. It is similar to the principle of 'evolution is a process of adaptation' mentioned in the theory of natural selection. In layman's terms, it is the principle of 'use it or lose it'."

"When you are able to freely use the true method to transform all things, you will be considered to have reached perfection. When you reach the third level of reverse life cultivation, I will then teach you the second and third levels of true method."

"The advantage of doing this is that it does not restrict your freedom, but preserves your ability to cultivate. If you encounter an accident, the vital energy of your flesh and blood will dissipate and will not be able to retain the true method within, so it will disperse on its own."

Jiang Mo's arrangement immediately impressed the six people, and with this, there were indeed no more worries.

"Junior brother, you've thought of everything." Si Chong's eyes gleamed, and he laughed heartily and comfortingly.

"Then let's start with Jin'er."

Jiang Mo made Lu Jin lower his head and touch the top of his head with his hand.

He activated his true technique, and crimson-gold patterns appeared between his eyes. One mysterious Qi script after another, radiating a blazing silver light, seemed transparent as it easily seeped into Lu Jin's skin, merging into his limbs and bones, and settling into every inch of his flesh.

Long, cool hands covered his head. Lu Jin closed his eyes, relaxed his body and mind, and carefully sensed the subtle changes within his body.

In an instant, the transmission of the teachings was completed, and his physical body underwent a mysterious change, as if he possessed some kind of innate ability, but it was somewhat unfamiliar and blocked, requiring him to slowly explore it.

"Uncle-Master, is that all?" Lu Jin asked incredulously.

"Ah."

"Practice diligently and do not slack off."

Jiang Mo had high expectations for him. Among the disciples' talents, Lu Jin was undoubtedly the strongest. As long as he devoted himself to cultivation, he had a good chance of advancing to the third level of Reverse Life in the future.

Encouraged, Lu Jin blushed slightly and said shyly, "Thank you, Martial Uncle!!"

Subsequently, Si Chong, Cheng Zhen, and the other disciples were instructed in the methods, and they were all exploring their new abilities with a mixture of confusion and excitement.

"That's all for tonight. If you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation, just come to me."

Jiang Mo got up, bid farewell to everyone, and as soon as he left the palace, he saw the bright moon hanging high in the sky. He strolled to the back mountain and sat cross-legged on the green rocks by the pool.

With his frosty hair reaching his shoulders, he gazed at the bright moon reflected in the water, finding a rare moment of tranquility, and began to continue the speculations he had made during his seclusion on the icy plains.

"Wow——!"

A wisp of pure white flame swirled around Jiang Mo's fingertips; it was pure primordial Qi, burning fiercely.

"Reversing life is a good technique, enhancing one's life force, but... without suitable methods of combat to complement it, it's too monotonous."

Even if one learns second- or third-rate martial arts manuals from the Hidden Wisdom Pavilion, the improvement they bring is not significant. Ultimately, certain skills are needed to gain the power to protect oneself and subdue demons.

"And... the Three Ones True Method perfectly fills this gap, refining all Qi and displaying all supernatural powers."

"Soaring through the air, summoning lightning, various killing moves combining the five elements of true qi, and now there is this perfect 'Primordial Qi Fire,' which is as warm as water. As long as it touches, it can burn away the lifespan of the enemy and turn them into withered bones and dust."

Jiang Mo gazed at the moon reflected in the water, flicked his finger, extinguished the flames, and murmured softly, "Can I really reach the end of the road?"

As someone who has experienced rebirth in reverse and cultivated both true and false methods, his most direct feeling is as if he were in a boundless ocean, with storms sweeping across thousands of miles. He uses his flesh and blood as a boat to cross it, but he cannot see the existence of the other shore at all.

For a long time, he stared blankly at the pool, and unconsciously uttered a sentence.

"I wish my senior brother were here too."

After a long pause, as if conversing with an old friend, he softly asked:

"Do you think I will be a qualified sect leader in the future?"

"rustle...."

A cool night breeze rustled through the mountains and forests, creating ripples on the surface of the pool. Jiang Mo suddenly smiled and began to meditate there, remaining silent all night.

Chapter 77 All Things Arrive

The time spent cultivating passed quickly. The moonlight was drawn from the clouds to the pool behind the mountain, constantly seeping into Jiang Mo's body. His body became transparent and crystalline. With each breath, his flesh and blood were being washed and polished by the flow of Qi.

As the moon sets and the sun rises, auspicious purple clouds appear in the east.

The essence of the daytime sun was also absorbed into Jiang Mo's body. His heart resonated with it, vibrating at a special frequency, pushing his body to a perfect state. Vigorous vitality burst forth, and his blood flowed like a surging river throughout his limbs and bones.

As the mountains turned golden and the sun began to set, footsteps approached from afar. Jiang Mo opened his eyes, slightly raised his head, and saw that it was Lu Jin approaching. He then asked:

"What's the matter?"

"Uncle-Master, Mr. Liu from the inn and his friend, the Master of Wanxiang Hall, are requesting to see you inside. They are currently waiting in Siming Hall. I have come to inform you."

"it is good."

Jiang Mo smiled slightly, wanting to see what kind of extraordinary person this Master of the Myriad Manifestations Hall was.

His profound martial arts abruptly stopped, and he stood up and walked down the green cliff.

Lu Jin followed along and noticed something amiss. He vaguely sensed that his martial uncle seemed to have undergone a transformation. His aura had become extremely restrained, making him appear like an ordinary person. His body had become increasingly light and graceful, and his steps were silent. He no longer possessed the sharp and imposing aura he had before.

When the two arrived at Siming Hall, Si Chong and Cheng Zhen received the four guests who had come from afar. Apart from Liu Wei, whom they knew, all the other guests were strangers.

The man in the wheelchair was sallow and thin, wearing an old dark-colored long gown. He looked exhausted, and his voice was low and hoarse.

Beside him were two disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Hall. The young man with a respectful expression had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, was handsome, and had an imposing presence.

The poised and elegant woman beside them wore a frost-blue dress, her black hair tied up high, her face delicate and otherworldly, her dark, clear eyes looking at the two people who entered the hall with a hint of curiosity.

"Master Jiang, please forgive my intrusion in visiting."

Liu Wei quickly stood up to greet him, warmly saying:

"Come, let me introduce you. This is my old friend, Ji Yuqian."

"Master of the Myriad Manifestations Hall!"

"Old Ji, this is Jiang Mo, the Jiang Clan Leader who kept his promise to you."

With his natural and casual approach, the group quickly started chatting.

"Master Jiang, it's an honor to meet you for the first time."

Ji Yuqian raised his thin, bony right hand and shook hands with Jiang Mo.

"It is my honor that you have traveled so far to visit the Trinity Gate."

Jiang Mo responded politely.

During the conversation, Jiang Mo learned that the brother and sister who accompanied Master Ji were his personal disciples, whose skills were already half as good as their master's, and who were exceptionally talented.

After a few more brief pleasantries, Ji Yuqian got down to business, looking ashamed, his hoarse voice lacking confidence:

"You have fulfilled the agreement you made with Master Jiang, but I am filled with apprehension, fearing that I will have to break my promise."

"My skills are insufficient; without the aid of the Myriad Manifestations Pool, I cannot deduce the exact location of those people..."

"It's alright, I was prepared. After all, that old poisonous woman from the Southern Frontier is no simple character."

Jiang Mo picked up the teapot beside him, poured tea for the two guests until their cups were seven-tenths full, and gently pushed them with his index finger, handing them to them.

“We use divination to predict her auspicious or inauspicious location. Perhaps she also has ways to avoid it, so it’s normal that she is temporarily hindered.”

"That being said, it is your kindness that you do not pursue the matter, but I cannot remain indifferent. We must still observe proper etiquette."

Before he could even speak, the young man behind him presented a square wooden box with both hands, his bright eyes filled not only with gratitude but also with admiration and reverence.

"Master Jiang, this is a small token of our appreciation from Wanxiang Hall. Please accept it."

"Put it here."

Jiang Mo did not refuse the other party's kindness.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Yuqian said, "Master Jiang's extermination of the demon has made him famous throughout the world. You have also uprooted the Quanxing Sect, and Old Ghost Han died as a result. On behalf of Wanxiang Hall, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you."

"It was nothing, Master Ji, you're too kind."

Jiang Mo didn't take it to heart. As far as he was concerned, regardless of the agreement, as the actual ruler of Quanxing, both the former acting leader and the elders were within his scope of extermination.

Ji Yuqian spoke cautiously, carefully considering his words, and consciously promised, "Master Jiang, I dare not neglect the matters you have instructed me to handle."

"I'll be frank with you here. In about two years, when the water of the Myriad Elephant Pool is clear, no matter the cost, I will definitely dig out the location of the demon you want."

"Two years...?"

Jiang Mo took a sip of tea, his words calm and undispleased, yet they made Liu Wei and Ji Yuqian inexplicably tense.

The one negotiating terms with them now is none other than the most powerful sect leader in the history of the San Yi Sect. His methods of subduing demons are simply terrifying and have shaken the entire martial arts world.

Although they knew Jiang Mo meant no harm, they still instinctively felt a pang of fear.

Just when their pressure was overwhelming, a simple sentence dispelled their concerns.

"Alright... Master Ji, you don't need to be so demanding about calculations. Let things take their course, and take whatever step you can get to."

"I am ashamed, thank you for your understanding, Master Jiang." Ji Yuqian bowed and said.
