Chapter 58 Lu Jin's Connections
Having said that, he lightly touched the ground with his foot, his figure moving like the wind, and instantly rushed towards the area where the disciples were gathered, leaving only one sentence behind.
"Senior Brother Chengzhen, Junior Brother Yan, please wait for me at the mountain gate!"
Zhuge Yan watched Lu Jin's hurried departure, shook his head helplessly, and said to Chengzhen:
"Senior Brother Chengzhen, Senior Brother Lu's temperament... he really can't wait even a moment longer."
Upon seeing this, Chengzhen revealed a very faint smile on his face.
"Junior Brother Lu has always been like this, hating evil as if it were his enemy, and acting decisively. Let's go, we'll go ahead first."
As they spoke, Zhuge Yan and Chengzhen walked side by side toward the mountain gate.
Given Lu Jin's popularity, and the "legitimate reason" of dealing with the Quanxing demons, it shouldn't be a problem to call on two or three senior brothers who are on good terms with him and happen not to be in seclusion.
After all, his moment of glory in "entering a new level in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn" had just passed, and many of his fellow disciples were eager to cultivate. Being able to get two or three people to help him was already an unexpected bonus.
Just as Zhuge Yan was pondering to himself, Chengzhen suddenly spoke up.
"Junior Brother Yan, have you ever encountered the Triple Reversal of Life before?"
"Ah? Back when Master and Senior Brother Lu came to our Wuhou Sect to take Ayun as their disciple, I fought with Senior Brother Lu."
It was around that time that I first encountered our Reverse Rebirth Triple System.
"So, before going up the mountain, you only witnessed the Reverse Life Triple Level, but never actually cultivated it?"
"No."
Zhuge Yan shook his head.
"No wonder..."
A knowing glint flashed in Chengzhen's eyes.
"No wonder what?"
"No wonder Master values you so much."
Chengzhen sighed.
"Um?"
"You started late, so it's normal that you don't know some things, but I was the first among us fellow disciples to follow our master."
"Although saying this might be a bit unfair to my other junior disciples, over the years, Master has taken in many disciples, but none of them have ever cared for me as much as you have."
"..."
Zhuge Yan was slightly taken aback, somewhat confused about what Chengzhen was trying to say.
"I think it must be because Master saw hope in you that he pays so much attention to you..."
"hope?"
"Yes, to reach the third level, to reach the realm of our Three Ones Sect's predecessors, or even surpass them!"
As he spoke, an undisguised fervor also appeared in Chengzhen's eyes!
However, Zhuge Yan didn't seem to have much feeling about the threefold mentioned by Chengzhen.
The reason is simple: he understood from the beginning that the so-called triple ascension to immortality was nothing but a complete scam.
Indeed, Triple's performance is enough to be called "Land God", but he is ultimately not a true god.
The Three-One School's philosophy is to follow the trend to avoid calamities and to go against the tide to achieve great success.
All disciples of the Sanyi Sect believe that as long as they can cultivate the Reverse Life Triple Stage to the third stage, they can reverse their own true qi back to the innate qi they were born with.
This is what is known as "three returning to one"!
But when Zuo Ruotong successfully broke through the third level with the help of Wugensheng's "divine spirit", he finally understood.
A "ball" is ultimately just a "ball" and can never become his second "head".
Reversing the cycle of rebirth three times is not the path to heaven.
The so-called Triple Heavenly Passage is most likely nothing more than a colossal lie told by our ancestors to protect the reputation of the Sanyi Sect as a "mystical sect"...
Thinking of this, Zhuge Yan felt somewhat heavy-hearted.
If he could, he really didn't want to see the Trinity Sect ultimately headed for destruction because of this "lie".
"Senior Brother Chengzhen, if one cultivates to the third level of Reverse Life, can one truly reach the heavens?"
"Is that even a question?"
"How do you know? Didn't you say no one has ever broken through to the third level?"
"Although we don't have any now, according to the sect's records, there were indeed sages of the Sanyi Sect who broke through to the third level in the past."
"Did he really become an immortal? If so, why didn't he leave behind a legend of ascension to heaven like Daoji, Bodhidharma, and Zhang Sanfeng?"
Upon hearing this, Chengzhen was immediately taken aback.
"Perhaps...perhaps our ancestor was just a low-key person?"
"At their level, reputation and such things are long gone, like smoke in the wind."
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
"It's nothing. I was just thinking that even if one cannot become an immortal through the Triple Rebirth, in terms of its profoundness, our Triple Rebirth of the Three Ones Sect can be considered the most extraordinary among extraordinary people."
Perhaps, excessively pursuing immortality is not a good thing; that would be attachment to form, wouldn't it?
Chengzhen stopped and stared blankly at Zhuge Yan's back in front of her.
For the first time, he felt that perhaps the reason his master valued this junior brother Yan so much was not simply because his talent far surpassed that of ordinary people...
-----------------
After a while.
The two had barely stood at the mountain gate archway when Zhuge Yan, who was pondering how to deal with Yuan Jingui when he caught a glimpse of Lu Jin's figure rushing towards them from the end of the mountain path.
"They're here!"
Zhuge Yan's spirits lifted, and he looked intently.
Lu Jin was running at the front, a smile on his face that was a mixture of excitement and some indescribable expression.
And behind him...
The next second, Zhuge Yan's eyes widened instantly.
Not just two or three.
It wasn't five or six.
Behind Lu Jin, a huge, dark mass of people surged out, like a floodgate being opened!
At a glance, there are more than a dozen of them!
These people, dressed in uniform moon-white Taoist robes, each exuded a powerful aura; they were none other than disciples of the Sanyi Sect!
Leading the pack was none other than the senior apprentice who had said at yesterday's apprenticeship ceremony, "I've spent three and a half years, should I just find a block of tofu to smash my head against?" At this moment, he was running even faster than Lu Jin, his face full of excitement that he had finally caught the opportunity.
The senior brother Liu, who had just announced a few days ago that he would "go into seclusion for arduous cultivation and vow not to leave until he breaks through the second level," was also among them, running and shouting:
"Junior Brother Lu! Wait for me! How could I miss out on such a great opportunity to fight the Quanxing Sect? Seclusion? You can go into seclusion after the fight!"
Some people were still carrying the training stone locks they hadn't had time to put down.
Some of the men had their robe sleeves rolled up high, revealing their strong forearms; they had clearly been dragged there directly from the martial arts arena by Lu Jin.
Even more outrageous, one of the senior students seemed to have just finished eating, still holding half a half-eaten steamed bun in his hand...
The whole scene was like a calm lake being thrown in by a huge stone, instantly boiling and noisy.
"Senior Brother Lu... Senior Brother Lu!"
Zhuge Yan's voice trembled slightly as he looked at the dozen or so people who had suddenly surged in front of him, almost completely surrounding him and Chengzhen.
"This...this is...?"
Lu Jin put his hands on his hips triumphantly, raised his chin, and spoke in a loud voice.
"Haha, Junior Brother Yan, how about it? How's my reputation?"
Upon hearing that it was to help you seek revenge against the Quanxing demon, these guys, tsk tsk, they always talk about going into seclusion to cultivate, each one louder than the last, but what's the result?
Upon hearing the news, they ran faster than rabbits! There was no stopping them!
