Chapter 42 The Truth Behind Zuo Ruotong's Death
Chapter 42 The Truth Behind Zuo Ruotong's Death
Lu Jin stood up excitedly!
What did he hear?! Someone actually knew what happened before his master passed away!
Since the deaths of his only known uncles, Si Chong and Cheng Zhen, Lu Jin has been unable to find anyone to ask his master how he died.
How could Lu Jin remain calm when someone now claims to know the inside story?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Lu Jin's mind: among the people present, besides his senior uncle and senior brother, there were also those two bastards, Wugensheng and Li Muxuan.
Could Wugensheng be the person behind the video?
As far as Lu Jin knows, everyone is still searching for the person behind the video, but so far no country has been able to find out who is behind it.
Even Douyin, a platform that banned Qin Le, couldn't do that.
As long as it's a smartphone and connected to the internet, it will be automatically downloaded and cannot be deleted.
Although Lu Jin was unwilling to admit it, in his view, Wugensheng was indeed a mysterious and powerful being.
Even if someone told him that the person behind the scenes was Wugensheng, he wouldn't be surprised.
To understand what happened during Zuo Ruotong's battle with Wugensheng, we need to briefly introduce Wugensheng's abilities.
[Wugensheng's ability is 'Divine Spirit,' a technique even more mysterious and bizarre than the Eight Extraordinary Skills.]
The origin of the divine spirit is unknown, but it is suspected to be an innate ability born without roots, capable of transforming anything related to Qi back to its original state.
In practical terms, this means that any methods used by other superhumans in the world are ineffective against Wugensheng; he can directly nullify the abilities of any superhuman!
[This is an extremely unfair ability; the only way to defeat Wugensheng is through close combat, as any technique formed from Qi is ineffective against him.]
This also includes the triple rebirth technique.
[As long as Wugensheng comes into contact with it, he can easily interrupt the release of the Reverse Life Triple Technique, rendering its effects ineffective.]
Everyone who saw this subconsciously assumed that this was the reason for Zuo Ruotong's death, because his Reverse Life Triple Technique was suppressed by Wugensheng.
However, this was not the direct cause of Zuo Ruotong's death. The effectiveness of the Divine Spirit has a certain range; as long as one does not approach Wugensheng, the Reverse Life Triple Technique will not be nullified.
The real reason for Zuo Ruotong's death was that he himself no longer wanted to live.
"You're talking nonsense! How could my master seek death on his own!"
Lu Jin shouted angrily from inside the room.
He didn't believe what was being said in the video. In his opinion, his master, Zuo Ruotong, was clearly killed by that damned Wugensheng. How could he be someone who didn't want to live?
[In the history of the Sanyi Sect, there is a story that when someone's Reverse Life Triple Stage reaches the second level limit and cannot break through to the third level, they will leave the Sanyi Sect to travel the world in order to find a way to break through to the third level.]
I don't know if any of the people traveling the world have actually broken through to the third level. It's said that the founder of the Sanyi Sect also reached the third level, but Zuo Ruotong has indeed reached the third level of the Reverse Life Realm.
The audience suddenly remembered that the video mentioned that after reaching the third level of the Reverse Life Triple Realm, one could ascend to immortality!
Reaching the third level? Wouldn't that mean Zuo Ruotong has become an immortal?
Even Lu Jin was stunned on the spot.
His master has broken through to the third level?
Lu Jin had no idea about this news. Why hadn't her master ascended to immortality? Had her master passed away?
[As mentioned before, the Rootless Deity Spirit can restore all beings related to Qi to their original form, while the Reverse Life Triple Transformation allows one's body to transform into Qi. Furthermore, Zuo Ruotong, having reached the second level of perfection, can transform all of his flesh and blood into Qi.]
The collision of these two events produced a unique chemical reaction: Zuo Ruotong, who had been struck by Wugensheng's palm, completely vanished before the entire Sanyi Sect!
[Zuo Ruotong, who had transformed into a physical body through Qi, was actually defeated by Wugensheng's divine spirit, leaving him only in a white robe on the ground, his entire body completely obliterated.]
Just when the disciples present thought their master had died at the hands of Wugensheng, Zuo Ruotong's junior brother discovered something unusual.
[Zuo Ruotong, who transformed into Qi, did not die; instead, she transformed into Qi and roamed throughout the entire space.]
To the astonishment of the disciples, Zuo Ruotong's clothes, which had fallen to the ground, began to move again. Before everyone's eyes, Zuo Ruotong, who had seemingly vanished, reappeared from a ball of Qi!
At this moment, Zuo Ruotong was walking on air, her clothes fluttering without wind, making her appear like an immortal standing in the air.
[Zuo Ruotong has broken through the coveted third level in everyone's eyes!]
But at this moment, Zuo Ruoduo only wanted to know one answer.
[Can my own reversal of the three realms be nullified by the rootless divine spirit?]
However, after handing his hand to Wugensheng, Zuo Ruotong's Triple Rejuvenation technique was rendered ineffective, revealing his originally aged arm.
Although Wugensheng could still dispel Zuo Ruotong's Reverse Life Triple Technique at close range, Zuo Ruotong was completely different after reaching the third level. He now possessed ranged attack capabilities, making Wugensheng no longer a match for him.
At this moment, Zuo Ruotong finally understood that the legend told by the ancestors of the Sanyi Sect that one could ascend to immortality after breaking through the third level was false; reversing the third level of rebirth did not lead to heaven.
Even after breaking through three levels, he merely became a more powerful superhuman; he was far from achieving ascension to immortality.
"I knew it! Ascension to immortality is definitely fake. There are no immortals in the world."
"You scared me! I really thought there was a heavenly court in the world."
The Lu family.
Lu Jin was also exhausted and slumped in the chair.
"Is the triple rebirth ascension fake?"
The entire Sanyi Sect has always considered itself the foremost sect of Xuanmen (mystical arts), and the reason they have this confidence is that the Sanyi Sect's Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage allows for ascension to immortality.
However, it has now been discovered that the Sanyi Sect is not worthy of being called the head of the Xuanmen at all, and the Reverse Life Triple Technique is merely a slightly more powerful technique.
Activating the Triple Rebirth technique requires a significant amount of the user's energy. Imagine someone holding a heavy object while practicing a horse stance; it's manageable for a short time, but doing it for a lifetime would be exhausting.
The reason Zuo Ruotong has maintained this Reverse Life Triple State is because he was injured in his early years. In order to save his life, he has kept this Reverse Life State active to sustain his life, during which time he has been enduring extreme fatigue.
What has sustained him all along is that once he breaks through the third level of the Reverse Life Realm, he can ascend to immortality and no longer have to struggle to maintain the Reverse Life Realm as he does now.
[But after breaking through three levels, he discovered that his previous hopes were nothing but a mirage, and exhausted both physically and mentally, he no longer wanted to continue.]
After releasing Wugensheng, Zuo Ruotong voluntarily gave up using the Reverse Life Triple Technique, and ultimately died due to his own internal injuries.
