Under One Person: Starting with the Dual Cultivation of Body and Soul.

His current appearance is anything but ordinary; years of life's trials have given him a tall and imposing figure.

Add to that his flowing white hair, sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, handsome face, and crystal-clear skin, along with the aloofness that comes from years of controlling his delusions, and the fact that he wore the iconic white double-breasted training uniform of the San Yi Sect, and he looked exactly like a young immortal who had stepped out of a painting.

After advancing to the next level of reverse life, Li Chang'an did not continue meditating but walked out of the cave.

Reaching the cave entrance, Li Chang'an glanced at the giant rock at the entrance and recalled the scene of Lu Jin lifting the several thousand kilograms of rock. A slight thought stirred in his heart.

He stepped forward, gripped the bottom of the boulder with both hands, and slightly lowered his waist, ready to exert force. However, to his surprise, he lifted the boulder with just a slight effort.

Li Chang'an was somewhat surprised; it was so easy, the previous buildup seemed a bit unnecessary.

He lifted the boulder high above his head, and after doing this several times, he tried removing his left hand and supporting himself with only his right hand. Surprisingly, he didn't lose his balance and didn't feel it was too strenuous.

Then, on a whim, he suddenly threw his right arm upwards.

"call!"

That enormous creature, weighing several thousand kilograms, suddenly flew half a foot into the air and tumbled in the air.

As it fell, he caught it with one hand, then tossed it up again, sending the boulder flying as easily as if he were juggling a ball.

"What immense power! In this state, my strength is far greater than Lu Lin's."

Li Chang'an thought to himself that Lu Lin had also lifted this stone after reaching the first level of the Reverse Life. Although she could lift it, it was by no means easy. She had to gather strength every time she lifted it, and it was not easy after she lifted it. Every step she took made the ground tremble, let alone tossing the boulder up and playing with it.

"If Lu Lin's condition is called 'Dragon and Tiger Strength,' then mine should be called 'Dragon and Elephant Strength.'"

After thinking it over, Li Chang'an concluded that since they were both taught by the same master, he could only attribute the difference to the different focuses of their cultivation and the different methods of breakthrough.

"It seems like it's not just about being strong!"

Li Chang'an tossed the boulder high into the air. During the brief moment of its descent, he looked at his hand, then at the falling boulder. His eyes suddenly sharpened, and he rapidly gathered his powerful white qi in his right palm, striking the boulder with it.

A loud "boom" resounded.

A domineering palm strike erupted from his palm, causing the massive boulder, weighing thousands of pounds, to shatter in mid-air, turning into a pile of rubble that crashed to the ground.

Li Chang'an looked down at the shards scattered on the ground. If that palm strike had hit a living person, it would have probably turned them into a pulp on the spot.

He withdrew his gaze, examined his palm, then extended his index finger, gathered some strength, and suddenly stabbed it into his palm.

"boom."

It produced a low, muffled thud, like a heavy hammer striking thick leather, yet there was only a shallow white mark on his palm, without even breaking the skin.

"So resilient?"

Li Chang'an was somewhat surprised. He now possessed the strength of a dragon and an elephant in every move he made. If that stab had landed on flesh and blood, it would have left a bloody hole, pierced through a stone wall, and left a fingerprint on steel. But when it stabbed him, he was completely unharmed.

Chapter 48 Super Reverse Rebirth State

"Try again!"

This time, he gathered the Qi in his body at his fingertips and poked his palm again.

This time, the fingertip finally pierced the flesh.

But there was no flesh or blood at the wound site, only a white light flowing around it, and it healed completely in an instant, without leaving a single scar.

"Ashes of skin and flesh!"

Li Chang'an clenched his fists; his physical strength was ridiculously high in this state.

With his current Dragon-Elephant Strength, it would be difficult for him to break through his defenses even without using Qi.

If it were an ordinary sword, it probably wouldn't even be able to break his skin.

"This level of defense is probably not what you'd expect from the first level of Reverse Rebirth. Compared to being invulnerable to blades and spears, Reverse Rebirth is better at recovery."

Li Chang'an muttered to himself, "Could it be that reversing life can also grant one the same defensive power as the Golden Light Mantra?"

"Wait... Golden Light Mantra!"

Li Chang'an suddenly had some ideas.

The old master said that the Golden Light Mantra and the Reverse Life Triple Technique are essentially the same type of technique, only one is simple and the other is complex.

Since they are of the same type, there should be many things they can learn from each other.

For example, in terms of demonstrating ability.

The ability to reverse life in three stages seems to have a fixed effect for each stage, and everyone who trains it achieves the same result.

But the Golden Light Mantra is different.

The characteristics of the golden light differ depending on the practitioner.

Some golden light is gentle, some is heavy, some is hard, some is changeable, and some is sharp...

Zhang Huaiyi's golden light, for example, changed its defensive nature and focused on sharpness.

It was even sharp enough to cut through Zhang Zhiwei's golden light.

Zhang Zhiwei's golden light seems to encompass all the characteristics of the aforementioned golden light, being very comprehensive, without any outstanding features or weaknesses.

"Since the Triple Rebirth and the Golden Light Mantra are essentially the same, is it possible that the effects of the Triple Rebirth, like the golden light of the Golden Light Mantra, should be unique to each person?"

The more Li Chang'an thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Immediately afterwards, the scene of his advisor Zuo Ruotong breaking through to the third level appeared in his mind.

After reaching the third level of Reverse Life, one can ride the wind and the white qi around them can take shape. With a wave of the hand, one can even set up a barrier.

This suggests that Qi transformation, like golden light, should be quite abundant.

As for why the effects of practicing the Three Ones method are all the same...

Li Chang'an recalled the teaching model of the previous Sanyimen.

Other sects have their older disciples take on younger disciples.

Apart from Si Chong, all members of the Sanyi Sect, regardless of age, are Zuo Ruotong's personal disciples.

Even his junior brother, Si Chong, was taught by Zuo Ruotong step by step.

Zuo Ruotong was like an overly loving parent, afraid that his children would make a single wrong step, so he meticulously planned the future for each of his disciples, and each disciple was following his path.

Under such circumstances, the characteristics of the techniques will naturally become highly similar.

Li Chang'an's breakthrough today did not follow the path left by Zuo Ruotong.

He is a natural manifestation of the perfection of his spiritual cultivation.

This breakthrough after achieving perfection naturally endowed him with more comprehensive blessings.

"This blessing is not just about strength and defense."

Li Chang'an casually waved his arm, leaving behind afterimages in the air.

With a light tap of his toes on the ground, a burst of air exploded, and he was instantly propelled dozens of meters away.

With another tap of his toes, he turned back again, appearing on the other side of the cave.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Li Chang'an went back and forth several times, moving as fast as a white arc of electricity bouncing back and forth.

After careful consideration, Li Chang'an gained a better understanding of himself.

Even under such high-speed bursts, his nerve reactions and control over his body still kept up with the pace.

He can stop whenever he wants and turn whenever he wants; there will never be a situation where he can't react in time, his legs can't stop, and he leaves two tracks on the ground.

"Strength, speed, intensity, perception... all aspects have been enhanced."

With this thought in mind, Li Chang'an looked up at the sky, then moved his feet and soared into the air, instantly reaching a height of more than ten meters, his body surrounded by white qi.

The mountain wind whistled past her ears, and her waist-length snow-white hair fluttered slightly in the wind, her clothes rustling in the breeze.

Li Chang'an glanced down at the entire Lu family compound from the air, then floated back to the ground.

"Through the experiment just now, it was found that although the white qi around me can enhance my abilities, it does not have the ability to fly through the air."

"However, thanks to its powerful explosive force and control over itself, it can still travel short distances through the air."

With this thought in mind, Li Chang'an immediately began to fly back and forth across the back mountain.

Sometimes it would land on the crown of an old pine tree, making the branches sag slightly.

Sometimes it would appear beside the pile of rubble at the cave entrance, like a wisp of white wind.

Li Chang'an's experimental capabilities caused quite a stir, attracting Lu Jin's attention.

"Who dares to act so presumptuously at the Lu family's residence?!"

Lu Jin's eyes narrowed, and he drew talismans with his fingertips. The talismans scattered and transformed into figures as tall as iron towers.

"Shangqing warriors, seize him!"

On the other side, behind the Lu family's mountain.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In an instant, more than a dozen dark figures flew in from all directions.

Li Chang'an turned his head and saw that these dark figures were all twelve feet tall, wearing armor, with wide-open eyes and ferocious faces. They held various knives, spears, swords and halberds in their hands, just like the glaring guardian deities in Taoist temples.

A dark figure pounced first, spreading out a large, fan-like black hand and grabbing his shoulder, seemingly intending to capture him on the spot.

Li Chang'an stood still until the moment the large hand was about to touch his shoulder, then he slightly turned his body. The dark figure missed its target, grazing past his robes by a hair's breadth.

Another dark figure attacked from behind, but Li Chang'an did not move his feet. He only tilted his upper body half an inch to the left, and the dark figure's grab missed again.

Immediately afterwards, more and more dark figures rushed in from all directions, as dense as a tightly closed net.

However, Li Chang'an seemed to be handling this suffocating siege with ease.

He did not retaliate, but merely made extremely small movements within a small space.

Take a half step to the left, an inch to the right, lower your head, lean back...

If this series of nimble movements were observed by an ordinary person, they might even have the illusion that he had been standing still the whole time, because their eyesight couldn't keep up with the speed of his evasion.

However, if one were a person with exceptional eyesight, they would only feel terrified upon seeing this.

Because Li Chang'an, with a leisurely stroll, dodged all the attacks with the slightest difference in distance, every movement was extremely concise, without a single superfluous action.

This requires an extremely fast reaction time and absolute control over oneself.

After dodging another attack, Li Chang'an reached out and, as if taking something from a bag, grabbed the head of a dark figure and pulled it close to his face for a closer look.

He discovered that the shadow was made of Qi and had no physical form. With a slight squeeze, the shadow exploded and dissipated into a cloud of runes.

"The Five Warriors of Shangqing?!"

Chapter 49 Lu Jin is shocked

The old man's methods... Li Chang'an was about to explain the situation.

So the shadowy figure suddenly stopped moving.

Looking up, he saw a figure in a suit flying through the air and landing lightly in front of him like a large bird.

The person who arrived was Lu Jin.

"Grandpa."

Li Chang'an stepped forward to greet him.

"So that's why there was such a commotion on the back hill. Turns out it was you who caused it. Wait a minute..."

Lu Jin stared at Li Chang'an, who had flowing white hair and looked like a young immortal, and froze, his face filled with shock.

After a moment, he recovered from his shock, pointed at Li Chang'an, and said:

"You... have broken through to the first level of Reverse Life?"

Li Chang'an nodded calmly: "I broke through today."

For the past two years, Lu Jin has been eagerly anticipating Li Chang'an's breakthrough and the first level of reverse rebirth.

But now that Li Chang'an had successfully broken through the barrier, there was no joy on his face. Instead, he flew into a rage, pointing his finger at Li Chang'an's nose and shouting:

"Didn't I repeatedly tell you to let me know when you're going to face the challenges and survive?"
