Did he really succeed in Chapter 51?
The morning light was just beginning to break in the main hall square.
Zuo Ruotong walked slowly among the disciples practicing their basic skills, his hands behind his back.
His gaze was sharp as lightning, and he would occasionally offer guidance in a low voice, yet it clearly reached the ears of each disciple, making them tense and their movements even more refined.
"Sink your breath to your heels, exert your strength from your waist, and keep your mind focused and unified, without letting it become scattered."
"The foundation for defying adversity lies in a calm mind. If the mind is like duckweed, the vital energy will inevitably scatter."
"Jin'er, your Qi has become even more refined, very good, keep this composure."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin solemnly agreed, and the pale white aura around him seemed to solidify even more.
The other disciples also held their breath and focused intently, striving to present their best selves to their master.
Just then—
hum!
A very peculiar wave, full of vitality, suddenly spread out from the direction of Zuo Ruotong's residence high above the mountain gate without any warning!
Although this fluctuation was not strong, and even had a somewhat nascent and immature feel, its unique "reverse life" aura was as familiar as breathing to the disciples of the Sanyi Sect!
This is a sign that someone has successfully constructed "reverse life" and officially stepped into the first level of the three levels of reverse life!
"It's done!"
"Haha, which fellow disciple is it? Shouldn't you invite us down the mountain for a good meal?"
"Congratulations! Our San Yi Sect is about to gain another fellow disciple who has reached the first level of the cultivation realm!"
"This aura of reversal... it feels quite solid!"
……
The disciples in the square stopped what they were doing, their faces beaming with genuine joy and congratulations.
The entry of a new disciple into the first level signifies that the inheritance of the San Yi Sect has gained another glimmer of hope, a joyous occasion worthy of celebration for the entire sect.
Even Lu Jin's face showed a relieved smile, and his gaze subconsciously swept towards the direction of several junior brothers who had recently gone into seclusion to break through their bottlenecks.
However, the smile only lasted for a moment.
Almost instinctively, everyone's gaze followed the source of that fluctuating aura.
That's a secluded courtyard high above the mountain gate.
The moment the direction was clearly seen, the entire square seemed to be muted.
All the noisy discussions and joyful congratulations came to an abrupt halt.
The smiles on their faces froze, replaced by extreme astonishment, bewilderment, and disbelief.
"Wait a minute, something feels off about me?"
"That...that direction..."
"Is...is this Master's courtyard?"
"Am I sensing something correct? The energy fluctuations are coming from where Master is meditating?"
"How is that possible? Master... still needs to break through to the next level?!"
A young disciple blurted out, then realized he had said something foolish and quickly covered his mouth.
The smile on Lu Jin's face vanished completely, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked sharply at his master, Zuo Ruotong, standing to the side.
Zuo Ruotong had stopped walking at some point, her back to the crowd, facing the direction of her residence.
That figure, which was always as upright as a pine tree and detached from worldly affairs, now showed a hint of stiffness that was hard to detect.
A few strands of hair at his temples fluttered slightly in the morning breeze, and his moon-white Taoist robe moved without wind, rustling in the breeze.
"How...how is this possible?"
Zuo Ruotong muttered to herself in a low voice.
His face was now filled with a shock that was even more intense than that of all the disciples present combined!
Those eyes, which had always been as calm as a deep, ancient well, were now churning with monstrous waves.
That direction, there's no mistake, it's Yan'er!
Has he successfully achieved "reverse rebirth"?
But how long has it been since I left that room?
A stick of incense? Perhaps even less!
The boy soaking in the medicinal bath, the boy who had just begun to experience the Triple Rebirth Technique under his personal guidance.
In the very short time after he left, he accomplished a crucial step that countless disciples of the Sanyi Sect would take months or even years of arduous practice to achieve?!
This can no longer be described as "extraordinary talent"; it completely overturns Zuo Ruotong's understanding of the "Triple Rebirth" cultivation over the past decades!
Zuo Ruotong's gaze pierced through space, as if landing on the quiet room filled with medicinal mist, and on the young man who had just created an astonishing miracle.
He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But in the end, all those words were reduced to a barely audible, yet utterly unmistakable, sigh of joy:
"Yan'er...you...you really are a monster~"
"Yan'er?"
Lu Jin, who was closest to Zuo Ruotong, suddenly narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
"Master, don't tell me that the junior brother who just successfully constructed 'Reverse Life' was Zhuge Yan?"
Upon hearing this, Zuo Ruotong glanced at Lu Jin, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
Silly boy, are you dumbfounded now?
Well, that's great. I was worried about how to find someone to curb this kid's arrogance, but now, here comes the perfect "other people's child".
Previously, when he lost to Zhuge Yan, he could still find an excuse to say that he hadn't unleashed the true power of the Reverse Life Triple Technique.
Now, things are great; Renyan'er also has the triple rebirth!
Sigh, I hope Jin'er won't be so discouraged that he starts to question the meaning of life...
With a look of anticipation, Zuo Ruotong smiled and nodded.
"Yes, it should be Yan'er."
"Really?!"
Meanwhile, other disciples of the Sanyi Sect who overheard Zuo Ruotong and Lu Jin's conversation in the square also began to whisper among themselves.
"Zhuge Yan? Who's that?"
"Do we have such a person in our sect?"
"I know, I know. He's Junior Brother Yun's cousin. Master just accepted him as a disciple yesterday. Junior Brother Yun introduced him to me yesterday."
"You just received it yesterday? How is that possible?"
"Doesn't that mean that Junior Brother Yan has only been cultivating the Reverse Life Stage 3 for one day?"
"Holy crap! What kind of monster is this?!"
……
In an instant, all the disciples of the Sanyi Sect lost the slightest thought of continuing their morning practice.
At this moment, they were all staring expectantly at Zuo Ruotong in front of them, their meaning self-evident.
As their master, Zuo Ruotong naturally knew what his disciples were thinking.
"Alright, seeing that you're all not in the mood for cultivation, let's call it a day for today's morning exercise. Follow me."
"Thank you, Master!!!"
Led by Zuo Ruotong, a large group of disciples from the Sanyi Sect then headed towards his residence.
Everyone wanted to see just who this prodigy junior brother was who had successfully constructed "Reverse Life" after only one day of cultivation!
A moment later, the group finally arrived outside the courtyard.
At this moment, the air in the courtyard still seemed to retain that incredibly familiar aura of "reverse rebirth".
The disciples of the Sanyi Sect stood respectfully behind Zuo Ruotong, craning their necks, holding their breath, and staring intently at the tightly closed door.
"Master, what about Junior Brother Zhuge...?"
Lu Jin's voice carried a hint of excitement and a touch of nervousness that she herself was unaware of.
Did he really succeed?
