Chapter 148 Rebirth Triple and Immortals?
The disciples looked up at the figure in the clouds. Some were so excited that they trembled, some covered their mouths and wept, and some bowed repeatedly in the direction of Zuo Ruotong, as if they were worshipping a deity.
That fervent joy almost filled the entire mountain gate.
Surrounded by these joyful sounds, Zuo Ruotong felt no warmth whatsoever.
He hovered in mid-air, white clouds swirling beneath his sleeves, making his face appear serene, like a fairy in a painting.
But only he himself knew what kind of scene lay beneath that seemingly perfect layer of celestial aura.
He slowly raised his hand, his gaze fixed on his palm.
His fingers were pale and cold, accompanied by a cloud of mist rising from the sky.
The operation of the Reverse Life Triple was not interrupted in the slightest, and Zuo Ruotong could clearly sense what his physical body looked like. He finally understood why none of the seniors who had reached the peak of the second level and gone into seclusion had returned.
Zuo Ruotong's Adam's apple bobbed, but no sound came out.
Reversing birth means going against the natural order to return to one's innate state.
Thus, human effort can manipulate nature to refine this body, tainted by worldly dust, back to its original, pristine state, so that it may ascend to immortality.
Attaining enlightenment leads to heavenly access.
The ability to reversibly generate three layers is ultimately a "state" forcibly created later in life.
Just like when he was stuck at the peak of the second level a few years ago, he used this power to forcefully suppress his old age and pretend to be in his twenties.
But now that he has truly reached the state of being innately perfect, why does he still dare not stop at the third level?
Why?
Because Zuo Ruotong could sense that once this state was broken, the ethereal beauty surrounded by auspicious clouds would instantly vanish, revealing only an old, withered tree-like body, on the verge of death.
A truly innate body should be perfectly formed by nature.
Just as a person cannot walk with an empty shell, if one truly reaches a state where the whole body is naturally innate, why would one need to use this acquired state to support it?
Maintaining this state for so long, the Reverse Rebirth Triple Rebirth is still the Reverse Rebirth Triple Rebirth, and I am still myself.
Thinking of this possibility, Zuo Ruotong looked at the ecstatic crowd below, and her fingertips suddenly trembled slightly.
"The triple is fake."
Although not entirely certain, the answer had already taken root in his heart. He turned to look at Wugensheng, the leader of Quanxing Sect, at his feet. Their gazes collided in mid-air, like two invisible swords, carrying immense force.
Long before, when Zuo Ruotong was at the peak of the second level, he had already glimpsed the path ahead: first destroy the reverse life formed by acquired factors, and then, through repeated defeats by external forces and self-reconstruction, make it more and more complete—this completeness is no longer the result of acquired refinement, but the innate natural perfection, ultimately reversing the innate.
But throughout the world, there might be those who could defeat him by a move or two, but few could completely break through his Reverse Life Second Stage and help him advance further. Until he met Wugensheng.
The divine spirit of the Quanxing Sect leader can restore everything that has been constructed to its most primordial form. This is precisely the power he has been searching for.
He originally thought that Wugensheng would use his divine power to break his rebellious life, and by using the reconstruction after the destruction to repair himself again and again, he could reach the third level of perfect nature, transform himself into the original innate fierceness, attain the Dao and reach the heavens, and no longer be an ordinary person.
But now he understood that reversing one's birth could not lead to heaven, nor could it return one to the innate state. And Wugensheng, who possessed the divine spirit, probably already knew the secret of the Three Ones. The two looked at each other, and silence pressed down like a mountain.
Seeing the two staring at each other, Si Chong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and trembled all over.
He seemed to understand something clearly, and roared at Wugensheng:
"Rootless! Get out!"
"Today is a joyous occasion for March, so we'll let your trespassing go unpunished. Get out!"
Zuo Ruotong turned to look at him, her voice as calm as ice: "Si Chong, step back."
"Senior brother!" Si Chong's eyes were red with tears. "You've already reached the third level, why are you arguing with these mortals!"
Zuo Ruotong remained silent. Suddenly, a vast, overwhelming cloud of reverse growth surged around him, forming an invisible barrier that completely enveloped him and Wugensheng, blocking out all external sights and sounds.
"Senior brother! Senior brother!!!"
He seemed to be going crazy and wanted to rush in, but Yunran blocked him tightly, and he couldn't even see the shadows inside.
Within the Reverse Life Cloud, Zuo Ruotong looked at Wugensheng and spoke with a barely perceptible hoarseness: "Wugensheng, how do you evaluate the Reverse Life Triple Level of my Sanyi Sect?"
Wugensheng said, "If we include all the extraordinary people and events in the world, Nisheng is truly unparalleled."
Zuo Ruotong: "If you weren't the leader of Quanxing Sect, I would consider you a close friend and speak my mind."
What I just said was the truth.
"Yes, it's the truth, but I didn't finish saying it. Let's finish saying it."
Wugensheng remained silent for a moment, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was not a trace of emotion in his eyes: "It cannot reach the heavens."
Yun Ran seemed to freeze. Zuo Ruotong remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "I'm not surprised by your conclusion. But I'm curious, judging from your attitude before we fought, did you already know then that this path was a dead end?"
Wugensheng replied, "Even earlier. I've believed this ever since I first heard about Nisheng. If Nisheng is truly as the rumors say, then he certainly cannot reach the heavens."
Why?
Wugensheng said, "A road with an end is not worthy of reaching the heavens. Can you imagine that the road to heaven could ever end?"
"The path to heaven has more than three levels, and why must it have three? Once you reach the third level, what happens next? Reversal of fate—that's it?"
The clouds surrounding Zuo Ruotong suddenly froze, as if even the wind had stopped, and she fell completely silent.
Then he extended his hand and said:
"Thank you for your honesty."
Wugensheng looked at his outstretched hand and said:
"Do we need to verify it again?"
Her heart was breaking; the answer was already clear. But Zuo Ruotong still wanted to see it one more time, to see it all through.
Just as their hands were about to touch, a transparent panel, like a glass plate, appeared in Zuo Ruotong's field of vision.
[Zhutian Pavilion invites you to become a customer. Would you like to enter and browse the products to purchase your desired item?]
Upon seeing the panel, Zuo Ruotong couldn't help but agree.
The next moment, the scene before my eyes suddenly changed.
The Wugensheng statue that was originally opposite has disappeared without a trace, and in its place stands an ancient pavilion.
Zuo Ruotong stared wide-eyed at the scene before her: "What is this?!"
This quaint pavilion, just like a shop, was filled with display shelves all around.
Unlike ordinary shops, the surrounding shelves were piled high with countless unheard-of elixirs, rare treasures, and rare herbs, with descriptions that were hard to imagine.
What can extend a person's lifespan by a thousand or even ten million years? What can destroy a continent or a world with a single punch? There are countless similar elixirs.
Moreover, although it only occupies a small space, various treasures are piled up like mountains inside. The unreal feeling of spatial transformation is unimaginable, as if it were a treasure pavilion in the Heavenly Court.
This unimaginable scene made Zuo Ruotong almost think she had fallen into a dream, and wonder if she had been driven mad by a shock.
But Zuo Ruotong immediately denied the idea.
He has been able to cultivate and maintain a reverse-life state for decades, his meditation skills are among the best in the world, and he can clearly distinguish his own mental state.
The scene before us is not an illusion.
Could it be that I've misunderstood, and reaching the third level really does allow me to ascend to immortality and arrive in the celestial realm?
Thinking of this, he looked at the man in the attic counter.
The other person seemed to have been there the whole time, but it was as if I had never noticed them before.
Is the other person—an immortal?
The man sitting at the counter in the attic, seeing him looking over, smiled and spoke:
"Left Gate Master, I am Xu Qing, the Pavilion Master of the Zhutian Pavilion."
"You've been looking for a while now, is there anything you like?"
