Chapter 154 Moving Mountains! Li Muxuan's Regret
Seeing Zuo Ruotong fully recovered, Li Muxuan forgot to tremble and stared intently at her ethereal figure.
Even he himself didn't realize that he, who hated Zuo Ruotong the most, actually breathed a sigh of relief when Zuo Ruotong returned to her original form. "Master!"
Upon seeing this scene, the disciples exclaimed in astonishment.
"Senior brother!!"
Si Chong gasped in shock, his voice trembling with a mixture of surprise and joy.
"You—you are here?!"
He gazed at Zuo Ruotong, who had regained his original appearance and whose divine light was even greater than before, and was so shocked that he could not speak.
Unlike before, at this moment, none of the Sanyi Sect members who cultivated the third level of Reverse Rebirth could sense the slightest aura of Reverse Rebirth from their sect leader!
In other words, this appearance was not created through reversed growth?!
But—the Three Ones Technique was clearly broken by Wugensheng's Divine Spirit, and the sect leader's faint appearance before didn't seem fake.
At this moment, Zuo Ruotong seemed to see through everyone's doubts and gently shook her head: "The reverse life has been broken, and it is indeed impossible to transform the acquired into the innate."
Upon hearing this, Si Chong's face immediately froze. After such a series of dramatic ups and downs, he felt as if his heart was about to explode.
In the end, even reversing birth can't reverse one's innate constitution.
But Senior Brother, your appearance is so... but you were so withered just now, and I clearly don't sense any reversal of the third level of life energy on you right now?
Like a drowning man grasping at a straw, Si Chong took a half-step forward, his voice trembling as he asked, "Senior brother, what exactly happened? The Reverse Life Technique has been broken, so why are you in this state?"
He stopped speaking, and Zuo Ruotong shook her head and slowly raised her right hand.
All the light fell on that hand.
The next moment, the arm that had been as smooth and warm as jade underwent a sudden change right before their eyes.
The once smooth skin dried and wrinkled at a visible speed, with veins bulging like old tree roots, and the skin at the knuckles turning grayish-yellow. In the blink of an eye, the hand returned to its previous withered state, as if it had been pulled from a coffin.
Everyone gasped in shock.
Zuo Ruotong's fingertips curled slightly, and her withered hand slowly relaxed, her skin regaining its plumpness and luster in a short while, as if the previous decay was just an illusion.
"This is my original form. What I did was simply gather all the vital energy and essence in my body and concentrate it in my lower abdomen during the moment when I was deeply circulating my spirit."
Seeing the puzzled crowd, Zuo Ruotong continued:
"However—this current appearance is not my original appearance either."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw Zuo Ruotong's arm suddenly shatter and turn into clouds, enveloping the entire mountain gate.
The next moment, everyone felt the ground beneath their feet tremble.
"What?!"
"Was there an earthquake?!"
The entire Sanyi Mountain seemed to come alive!
The bluestone slabs underfoot began to tremble, and the pavilions around me made a "ouch" sound.
Everyone saw that the clouds in the sky suddenly descended.
No! It wasn't the clouds descending, but rather they were rising; everyone felt a tremendous force lifting the entire mountaintop upwards!
The clouds and mist surged below the mountain peaks like boiling milk, with pebbles floating in the white waves!
The Sanyi disciples were utterly disgusted, their eyes wide and mouths slightly agape, unable to utter a word.
The scene before them was even more shocking than when Zuo Ruotong had just achieved the third level of Reverse Life!
Some people opened their mouths, making noises in their throats, but couldn't utter a single word. Their eyes were so wide they looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets. They were cultivating the Threefold Reversal of Life, which emphasized "returning from the acquired to the innate," and were pursuing immortality.
But no matter how hard they tried, they could not imagine what was happening before their eyes!
The entire mountaintop was lifted up by Zuo Ruotong's power and flew into the clouds!
Clouds filled the surroundings.
Li Muxuan, however, had already knelt on the ground again, completely unaware of what was happening.
At this moment, under Zuo Ruotong's power, the entire mountain peak was lifted into the air. Seeing this scene, which was like the work of an immortal, he felt a "whoosh" in his mind, as if countless needles were pricking him.
Looking at Zuo Ruotong, who seemed to possess the immense power of heaven and earth, he felt as if he were in a dream, and his thoughts instantly returned to the time when he and Lu Jin became disciples of the Sanyi Sect.
Li Muxuan became a disciple of Sanyi in order to follow this figure, and even changed his name to Muxuan.
Later, he betrayed the sect and, in front of Zuo Ruotong, became a disciple of the Ghost Hand King of Quanxing Sect. It was out of spite, because he felt that Zuo Ruotong had slighted him.
If you can accept Lu Jin as your teacher, why do you insist that I bury myself in books all day long?
Already unruly by nature, coupled with the extreme rebellious psychology of youth...
Originally, his extreme admiration for Zuo Ruotong, this immortal of the Xuanmen sect, turned into extreme disgust after years of being unable to be accepted as a disciple.
Even if I, Li Muxuan, don't have the Three Ones, even if I only know the acrobatic skill of "Reversing Eight Directions," so what? Even if I become a disciple of the Quanxing Sect, so what?
If you, Zuo Ruotong, won't accept me, then what right do you have to discipline me? Who do you think you are?!
A moment of pleasure has created today's "bad boy".
Even though he became a well-known figure in the world of supernatural beings, the resentment in his heart never dissipated.
He never truly proved himself right.
Moreover, even when Ghost Hand King asked him to call him "Master" before he died, he couldn't say it. He just threw himself on the old man and cried, begging him not to die.
Why?
Mingming had a deep master-disciple relationship with Wang Yaozu, Mingming was like a grandfather and grandson, Mingming was heartbroken, so why was he so stingy with even calling the old man "Master" before he died?
Perhaps he knows the answer.
The person deep in one's heart whom one most wants to become a disciple of is always like a thorn, embedded beneath the rebellious exterior.
But he dared not think about it, and did not want to think about it.
He brought Wugensheng into the mountains this time because he wanted to prove himself in front of Zuo Ruotong! He wanted to vent all the frustration in his heart!
He wanted to prove that it was Zuo Ruotong's fault for not accepting Li Muxuan back then!
Instead of admitting that you were wrong!
Yes!
I have no regrets about leaving Zuo Ruotong and Sany!
I was right. But when Zuo Ruotong stepped into the third level of Reverse Life, her ethereal figure caught my eye, and the admiration in my heart that had long been buried by rebellion suddenly grew wildly like spring grass, followed by overwhelming regret.
He just didn't want to admit it.
At the moment when Zuo Ruotong was barely breathing, he suddenly realized that he had committed such a terrible crime, and he trembled like a leaf.
Now, watching Zuo Ruotong lift the mountaintop into the air like a god, Li Muxuan, who should have joined the Sanyi Sect but became a demon of the Quanxing Sect because of his rebellious heart, suddenly felt that his twisted pride and childish sulking were all a joke.
"I—maybe I really was wrong."
He lowered his head, his fingertips digging deep into the bluestone slab, blood seeping from between his fingers, before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence.
The voice was as soft as a hair, enveloped in the roar of the rising mountain peak. Even the speaker was unaware of the sobbing tone, the bewilderment and collapse hidden within it!
