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

Tang Bingwen smiled with satisfaction, without explicitly refusing: "I will give the Lü family an answer in one day."

"Alright... Sect Leader Tang, this is the payment, please accept it."

The elder of the Lü family presented a wooden box with both hands, inside which were twenty gold bars.

"The deal isn't finalized yet, so how can I accept your payment?" Tang Bingwen declined.

"Besides, those beasts are worthless and not worth this much money; three gold bars are enough."

"Very well, then the Lü family awaits your good news." Lü Ci chuckled and clasped his hands in a salute.

......

Longhu Mountain, the Celestial Master's Dormitory.

"Hey! Master, could you please do me a favor and write a letter of recommendation so I can stay at the Trinity Gate for a few days?"

Zhang Zhiwei was trying to appease Zhang Jingqing, pouring her tea and water, and massaging her back and shoulders, behaving very considerately.

"Oh? Why didn't you stay at the Celestial Master's Mansion? What are you doing at the Sanyi Gate?"

Zhang Jingqing asked jokingly, glancing at the young man out of the corner of her eye.

"Hey, Master, don't you think Lu Jin and I are good friends?"

"I've been thinking about him a bit and want to go check on him," Zhang Zhiwei replied fluently; he had already made preparations.

"You sent your disciple down the mountain to travel for a year before. Your disciple was short of money and not good at business. Out of desperation, you often went to his place to freeload. As for the relationship... you know what I mean."

"Huh? You even tried to take a shortcut?!" Zhang Jingqing was furious with this rebellious disciple.

"Master, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong. Please help me this once, okay? I really want to get together with Lao Lu." Zhang Zhiwei was still trying to pull him away.

"You wicked child! Do you really think I'm senile?"

Zhang Jingqing exposed her disciple's intentions and sneered, "Look at you, so impatient, you can't even keep things to yourself anymore. You probably want to go and have a chat with Sect Leader Jiang, right?"

"Everyone was there at the Lu family's birthday banquet last time, why did you waste the opportunity?"

Faced with his master's questioning, Zhang Zhiwei lacked confidence and whispered his defense:

"Hey... this isn't appropriate. Back then, how could I have predicted that Lao Lu would get into a fight with Liu Deshui of Yanwu Hall? When I turned around and wanted to chat with Master Jiang, he was nowhere to be found."

"I couldn't move around freely in the Lu family's courtyard, so I had to let it go."

"I think you should save your trouble."

"what?"

Zhang Zhiwei was taken aback. Before he could ask any more questions, Zhang Jingqing tapped the letter on the table with her finger.

"See for yourself."

"Okay, let me see."

Zhang Zhiwei opened the envelope, skimmed through it, and finished reading quickly. His expression turned somewhat serious, and he tentatively asked:

"These foreigners have crossed the sea. According to the alliance, Master Jiang and everyone else, as well as our Celestial Master's Mansion, are supposed to intercept and kill them?"

"Um....."

Zhang Jingqing replied in a deep voice: "That's why I told you to stay put and not run around causing me trouble!"

"If I'm not mistaken, both Chief Jiang and your old friends will be on this mission, giving you plenty of opportunities to catch up."

"Then that's fine. Since you've made the arrangements, Master, I'll follow your advice."

Zhang Zhiwei put down the letter, but then had a question: "But the ocean is vast, and those thieves haven't landed yet. We don't have complete information. Where should we intercept them?"

"Don't worry about it, someone will investigate."

Zhang Jingqing closed her eyes slightly, as if pondering: "The various sects have agreed to bring some skilled fighters. As for our Celestial Master's Mansion, besides you and me, who else do you think would be suitable to bring: Jinzhong, Huaiyi, or Yanyi?"

Hmm... let me think about it?

Zhang Zhiwei stroked his chin, considering seriously for a moment, and then said thoughtfully, "Jinzhong, perhaps?"

"He's agile and fast. If something happens to us, tell him to run. He understands your good intentions and won't hesitate."

"As for Huaiyi and Yanyi, let them stay in the mountains to take care of the trivial matters of the Celestial Master's Mansion."

"Hmm... then let's do as you say and go and summon Jinzhong to me." Zhang Jingqing thought it was feasible.

"Yes, Master!"

Chapter 100 Preparatory Staff

Since Jiang Mo brought back the general knowledge books from overseas, the disciples in the sect have had a set routine for their daily cultivation.

Meditate in the early morning or forenoon, practicing profound arts in stillness;

From noon to evening, they practiced firearms shooting and the use of various cold weapons in the back mountain.

Thanks to the amplification from the reverse growth state, both firearms and melee weapons can be fully utilized in the hands of the disciples of the Three Ones, who possess strong physiques.

In the evenings, he would read books, covering subjects such as mechanics, chemistry, and biology, gradually enhancing his understanding of the outside world.

While his disciples were steadily cultivating, Jiang Mo did not slack off. He secluded himself in the back mountain to hone his Heavenly Kingdom, becoming increasingly free to do as he pleased, opening and closing the gates of cultivation at a mere thought.

Even within the Heavenly Kingdom, he slowed the passage of time, broke through layer upon layer of bottlenecks, and rushed to the end of the cultivation technique in one go. Only then did he discover that once he reached perfection, modifying the rules was as easy as turning his hand. While leaving his physical body outside, he could also maintain the construction of the Heavenly Kingdom, requiring only the expenditure of mental energy and true qi.

"Om-!"

In the dead of night, Jiang Mo stretched out his five fingers toward a huge rock. The moment the heavens opened, the surrounding space rippled and twisted like ripples on a lake, and a vortex plunged down, instantly engulfing him and the rock.

Within the Heavenly Kingdom built by Jiang Mo, the densely packed stone steps seem endless, traversing the space in all directions, like an ancient and cold universe.

A blue portal hangs high in the void. Jiang Mo steps forward and looks down at the dazzling, frozen starry sky, where time seems to stand still. Countless stone steps fill every corner of this secret realm, stretching to the endless horizon.

"If one possessed the abilities of that Nathan Guard and forged them into Heaven, it could become a world-shaking killing move."

Jiang Mo felt a little regretful. The way the purple-haired woman accelerated the change of matter had left a deep impression on him. All matter in the world exists in the form of motion, and accelerating motion is accelerating decay.

During the fight, the passage of decades had weakened his Qi-transformed right hand, causing it to break down. This alone, combined with the Heavenly Kingdom, would make it an absolute prison for any demonic person ever imprisoned there.

However, despite his regret, Jiang Mo didn't dwell on it too much. In his view, the Heavenly Kingdom and the Spirit-Breaking Curse could also create an excellent effect, making them a sure-fire way to deal with the Quanxing demons and the Japanese thieves.

"Buzz!"

Jiang Mo turned around, left the Heavenly Kingdom, and returned to the back mountain. A gentle breeze blew through the forest, and he heard the sound of gunfire from the shooting range, so he walked over.

"boom--!"

"boom--!"

One after another, large-caliber armor-piercing rounds were loaded into the silver hunting revolver. Zhuge Yu concentrated, held it in one hand, and kept pulling the trigger, firing at the stone puppets in the distance, hitting them one after another.

Haishi.

The shooting range was silent, the dim lights flickered, and he was the only one training there.

Jiang Mo walked silently, observing quietly, until Zhuge Yu fired several rounds in succession and then paused briefly. Only then did he deliberately let his footsteps fall, creating a slight rustling sound, and step forward to inquire:

"Little Zhuge, why aren't you resting yet?"

"Ah? Martial Uncle, you've arrived?!"

Zhuge Yu looked back, quite surprised, feeling a sense of helplessness, like someone who had been discovered by their master for secretly working hard.

"I just came out of customs and saw that the lights were still on here, so I came to take a look..."

"How was the training?"

Zhuge Yu was taken aback, scratched his head, and honestly confessed, "Not bad, I haven't really messed up much..."

However, he was somewhat disappointed and said with shame, "Unfortunately, I have not yet passed the second level, so I am not qualified to go down the mountain with my master."

Seeing his dejected look, Jiang Mo leaned closer and patted him on the shoulder to encourage him:

“You are different from the other fellow disciples. I heard from my senior brother that you entered the Sanyi Sect with the secret of the Wuhou Qimen. As a result, you have to cultivate two techniques, which will inevitably lead to some distraction and slow progress, which is normal.”

"Uncle-Master, please don't try to excuse me..."

Zhuge Yu felt utterly helpless: "This disciple hasn't mastered the Qimen Dunjia (奇门遁甲) technique, and even my understanding of Reverse Life is only half-baked..."

“Junior Brother Lu entered the sect later than me, but he has already passed the second level and is even above Senior Brother Shuiyun. In comparison, I am far inferior.”

"It's alright, your master believes in your potential. Nothing is impossible for a willing heart. If you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation of reversing death in the future, feel free to ask me."

Jiang Mo has high hopes for the growth of each of his disciples. Disciples like Zhuge Yu, who come from the Wuhou School, are quite talented. With just a little guidance, he might surprise you in the future.

"Disciple thanks Martial Uncle!"

"It's late. Go back and take a bath, read a book for a while, and get some rest."

Jiang Mo gave one last instruction and then left the back mountain without saying anything more.

.....

The next day, an informant from the Lu family came to visit and entrusted Lu Jin to deliver the letter written by Lu Gong to Jiang Mo.

In the morning, inside the Siming Hall.

"Uncle-Master, a letter has arrived from home. It says it's from your grandfather." Lu Jin handed over the letter with both hands.

"it is good."

Jiang Mo took it, disassembled it, and glanced at it briefly. Even knowing that there were strange people from the East who had crossed the sea, he was not greatly surprised.

He sipped his tea calmly, then handed the letter to Chengzhen and Sichong beside him for a look.

"Do you want to go? This is an alliance I signed with various factions. When it's time to do our best, we will not hesitate to step up."

Jiang Mo respected their opinions and let them make their own decision.

“If you go, junior brother, then this old man’s role will be negligible. In that case, I will stay in the mountains and supervise these children’s cultivation.”

It seems that Chong is very open-minded. For him, the fact that his injuries have not yet healed is one thing, and having his junior brother leading the team is another. He doesn't need to worry about it. Moreover, the Celestial Master's Mansion, Shangqing, and the Four Families have all gone with him.

Chengzhen was tempted and said, "Uncle-Master, I would like to go, even if it's just to do my part."

"Is your injury healed?" Jiang Mo asked with a smile.

"I'm almost fully recovered, it's nothing to worry about, it won't have any impact." Chengzhen made up her mind.

Listening to their conversation, Lu Jin had some ideas, but was still unsure. Unable to suppress her curiosity, she asked Jiang Mo:

"Uncle-Master, may I take a look?"

"look--"

With Jiang Mo's permission, Chengzhen delivered the letter to Lu Jin:

"Junior brother, here you go."

"Okay, senior brother."

After reading through the document and understanding the situation, Lu Jin didn't hesitate for a moment and eagerly said:

"I have passed the second level of cultivation. I humbly request my master to allow me to follow you down the mountain."

"it is good."

Jiang Mo asked Si Chong for his opinion: "Senior brother, do you think we should send more promising talents over? So they can get some experience."

"Changqing, Shuiyun, Shengsheng? Which one do you want to bring?"

"Let's see what they want. These people are all at similar levels of cultivation, so we can just draw lots to choose one of them."

Si Chong seemed slightly worried. The situation on the battlefield could change in an instant, especially since he had just escaped death and knew how dangerous it was. This time, he was facing a foreign superhuman, whose methods might be even more troublesome.

"Lu Jin, go and call your senior brothers over."

When they arrived, Jiang Mo told them about the operation to intercept the Japanese aliens, and then took out a copper coin and had them take turns tossing it to see who would stay and who would go.

"Junior brother, senior brother, you flatter me. I was just luckier."

Finally, the third person selected was none other than Shuiyun, who was in high spirits and full of anticipation.

"Then go ahead, junior brother, kill a few more for me to bolster the sect's reputation." Changqing said with a gentle smile.

"Okay, wrap it up on me."

Jiang Mo glanced at the three disciples and instructed them:

"Pack your luggage, bring what you need, and come find me in the back mountain when you're ready."
