Chapter 18 This... is the path I chose to take.
However, the path of triple rebirth is another one.
Although the Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique is the supreme skill of the Three Ones Sect, if practiced to its extreme, it can transform Qi into a physical body and become a "terrestrial immortal".
He had no doubt about the profoundness of the road, but both roads required reaching the top to see the scenery.
A person's energy is limited. His "mystery" has already taken up most of his cultivation effort. The development of his brain has only just begun. There are even higher realms above the four realms of Heaven, Earth, Man, and God waiting for him to explore.
If you get distracted now and try to learn the Threefold Reversal of Life, you'll end up on neither path.
Being indecisive will only lead to neglecting one thing for another.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Yan slowly raised his head, his gaze meeting Zuo Ruotong's without flinching.
"I am deeply grateful for the kindness shown by the Left Gate Master."
His voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear and resonant.
"But I have already embarked on the path of the sorcerer, and there are still many sights along this path that I have not yet seen."
The younger generation wants to continue on this journey, to see where those who came before have gone, where they have stopped, and what scenery lies beyond where they stopped, or even atop the mountain.
He paused.
"This... is the path I chose to take."
It sounded like someone in the main hall gently exhaled a breath they had been holding for a long time.
Zhuge Duan's fingers paused on the bottom of the wine glass, and a very faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It wasn't laughter, but the quiet approval a father feels when he hears his son describe his path.
Zhuge Zhong raised his wine cup, concealing the faint smile on his lips.
"The mountaintop..."
Zuo Ruotong looked at him and remained silent for perhaps five breaths.
Then he laughed.
It wasn't a smile of disappointment, nor was it a polite smile.
It's like seeing something you really like; even if you can't have it, just knowing it exists is enough to make you smile with joy.
Although Zhuge Yan rejected her in front of so many people, Zuo Ruotong also heard another meaning in the reasons for the rejection.
This young man knows which path he is on.
He wasn't taught by a master, nor was he instructed by an elder; he found it himself.
A person who knows what they want at the age of eleven is more precious than a genius who has mastered all the magic of the four realms of Heaven, Earth, Man, and God at the age of eleven.
"it is good."
Zuo Ruotong only said one word, then turned around and walked back to her seat. She sat down, picked up the cup of tea that had long since gone cold, and took a sip.
The bitter taste of the herbal tea spread from the back of his tongue to his throat, but his expression remained unchanged, as if he had long been accustomed to this temperature.
He turned to Zhuge Duan.
"Clan Chief Zhuge, it was presumptuous of me to speak up today, but I do not regret it."
Zhuge Duan raised his wine cup and gestured towards Zuo Ruotong.
"Master Zuo, you flatter me. It is Yan'er's own good fortune to have caught your eye. How can you say it's presumptuous?"
The two drank to each other from a distance.
Tea and wine exchanged a glance in mid-air that only those of their age and position could understand.
Zuo Ruotong put down her teacup and looked back at Zhuge Yan. The warmth in her gaze did not cool down in the slightest because of the rejection.
"If you choose to stay with the Wuhou Sect, I will not force you. But remember, the gates of my Sanyi Sect are always open for you."
He paused, and the smile on his lips deepened.
"It's not about taking on a disciple, it's about visiting a friend. Come whenever you want."
Jin'er lost to you today. Knowing his personality, he'll need to practice for at least half a year when he gets back.
When we meet again, he'll probably still challenge you to a match.
Lu Jin nodded vigorously beside him, her expression extremely serious.
Zhuge Yan bowed deeply to Zuo Ruotong.
This bow was deeper than any of the previous gestures.
It's not because of status, it's because of respect.
A highly respected elder in the industry spoke up despite knowing it was inappropriate. After being politely refused, he showed no displeasure but instead said, "The gates of the mountain are always open for you."
With such demeanor and magnanimity alone, the name "Da Ying Immortal" is well-deserved!
-----------------
When the banquet ended, only a few servants remained in the main hall to clear away the dishes.
The candles were blown out one by one, leaving behind shallow pits made during the competition and fine gravel left by the earthen carts on the blue brick floor.
A servant bent over and swept for a while, then couldn't help but look back at the spot where Lu Jin had trampled and where the white tiger had scratched four deep marks.
Zhuge Yan did not disperse with the others.
He stood in the corridor for a while, watching Zuo Ruotong walk towards the guest rooms accompanied by Zhuge Duan.
Lu Jin followed behind her master for a few steps, then suddenly turned around and winked at him.
That glance was brief, but Zhuge Yan understood it.
It wasn't a provocation, nor was it resentment; it was a "You wait, I'll come find you later."
Zhuge Yan nodded slightly.
Lu Jin grinned and turned to follow Zuo Ruotong.
Zhuge Yan took a few steps in the direction of the west wing, then stopped.
Instead of going straight back to his room, he turned a corner and went to the peach grove behind the mountain.
There's a lot to process about the fight I had with Lu Jin tonight.
It's not numerology, it's Lu Jin's triple rebirth technique.
The dragon and tiger power that emerged after the skin and flesh transformed into Qi gave him the most direct understanding of the Three Ones Sect's techniques.
The Reverse Life Triple Technique and the Wuhou Qimen are two completely different paths.
Wuhou Qimen is a numerological system whose core is to deduce the heavens and earth and to arrange and control the field.
The Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique is a physical cultivation method, the core of which is to transform oneself with Qi and transcend the ordinary to become a saint.
But his "secret" is essentially a kind of self-development, except that the reverse rebirth triple development is the physical body, while his is the brain.
They arrive at the same destination by different means, but their paths are completely different.
Although he did not want to join the Sanyi Sect to distract himself from cultivating the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage, this did not mean that he could not learn from the cultivation philosophy of the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage.
He stayed in the peach grove for about half an hour, going over every detail of his fight with Lu Jin in his mind.
The feeling of the recoil from Lu Jin's final, all-out punch, traveling against the flow of energy through his meridians, still makes his right arm tingle slightly when he thinks about it.
If Lu Jin cultivates the Reverse Life Triple Technique to the second level, the outcome of that punch will be hard to predict.
"Over the years, as I have continuously explored the mysteries and overclocked the clock time and time again, my brain development has also been increasing imperceptibly."
From the initial 10%, which required overclocking to reach 15%, to now, a normal level of 14% brain development is achievable.
If we were to use the Mysterious Mechanism again now, we should be able to reach 19% development progress. But why does it feel like the development progress of the Mysterious Mechanism has been gradually slowing down lately?
Thinking of this, a thoughtful look flashed across Zhuge Yan's eyes.
He felt as if he had encountered a threshold, and if he could not find a way to cross it, he would probably not be able to make any progress in his life's mysteries.
What could be the factor that caused me to be stuck at this 14%?
