Chapter 319: Reunion after a long separation, a killer move to greet

No matter which one it is, the catastrophe of the physical body causing the qualitative change of the soul still needs to be endured by oneself. Jiang Mo has no way to interfere with his senior brother's practice. All he can do is to remind the old man to be vigilant at all times.

Cheng Zhen encountered the same dilemma. A few years after he reached the second level of Xuanming, he realized the birth of a new soul. He spent a lot of effort and secluded himself for several months before he tried his best to kill it.

As for the other disciples, due to their different cultivation and physical constitutions, the time they approach the qualitative change stage is also different;
Judging from the current example, Jiang Mo is more willing to believe the first statement, that is, the physical body is testing the soul, and after he and Cheng Zhen have overcome this hurdle, the improvement in their cultivation is only a part of the gift that comes with breaking through the barrier.

More importantly, they all felt a sense of the soul being unfettered and perfectly integrated with the body;

To put it simply, it means that you can do whatever you want more than at any other time. Your body should be like glass, your mind should be dust-free, and you should be bright inside and out, pure and flawless. You can explore the potential of the body to the greatest extent and exert the power under extreme conditions.

From the perspective of those within the sect, cultivating to the third level of rebirth is undoubtedly a landmark achievement that has reached the pinnacle. Compared with overcoming the physical and spiritual calamity, there is an insurmountable barrier between the two, as different as heaven and earth.

Seventy years have passed, and several generations of disciples have branched out, but there are less than a hundred people, and only Jiang Mo and Cheng Zhen can do it;
Even Si Chong has only vaguely touched the threshold of transformation. Other disciples like Lu Jin, Zhuge Yu, Shui Yun, Chang Qing and others are even further away.

Regarding this phenomenon, out of consideration for the sect's inheritance, Jiang Mo had discussed it with Cheng Zhen and Si Chong a long time ago. They each wrote down their feelings when breaking through the barriers, as well as various details, to leave them to the younger generations, and hoped that the sect leader to be appointed in the future would also be able to reach this height as much as possible.

There are many heroes in the world, as many as the fish in the river, and there are countless strange people and extraordinary creatures overseas;

The triple rebirth is indeed amazing, but it is difficult for a master who wants to suppress the entire martial arts world and dominate the world. Only a disciple of the triple rebirth who has survived a physical and soul catastrophe can come to challenge him before there is hope.

On the lawn of the wooden house, Jiang Mo looked out at the night view in the distance. The hazy mountains were undulating and dotted with stars. He seemed to be thinking about something, and the doubts in his heart came out naturally.

"Brother, can you tell me the truth? How confident are you that you can get through this hurdle?"

"I dare not say too high, maybe 60%, Junior Brother."

Si Chong gave an answer that fits his actual situation, with wrinkles at the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Having lived for such a long time, he was very pleased that since the rise of the sect, two generations had produced people like Jiang Mo and Cheng Zhen who were both talented and hardworking.

It can be said that I have no worries for a long time.

At least it seems clear to him that he will not live as long as his junior brother in the future. Before he leaves this world, as long as Jiang Mo is still alive, the sect will not decline.

All he could do was to take a few more steps forward while he still had energy and was not yet dead, and leave some useful things for the younger generations of the sect.

The old man has seen the contributions his two disciples, Yuhuai and Xianshu, have made over the past decades, devoting themselves to the country, and is very proud of them.

He has no regrets in his life.

"Sixty percent?"

"Slow work brings out fine results. Please take your time. I will wait for good news."

Jiang Mo smiled gently, with a hint of anticipation in his deep eyes.

The two had a long conversation, talking about various past events and current situations, without any taboos.

It was not until dawn that the sun rose from the end of the horizon, which was as white as a fish belly. The old man yawned and felt drowsy. Jiang Mo helped his senior brother, who was still reluctant to leave, back to the wooden house, said goodbye to him, left this place and returned to the sect.

The news that Toyo Bihe Ninja, the Secret Cultivation Family and a high-ranking official in the Northeast region had cooperated to rob Gao Erzhuang had been widely circulated in the circle in recent days. Most sects remained on the sidelines and did not make any public comments.

The company was responsible for interrogating Lao Zhang, using many means without having to pry open his mouth. They had special people responsible for extracting his memory, and they dug up a lot of useful information. They were shocked to learn that the underground tunnel leading to overseas was actually a gift of cooperation from Quan Xing's disciples in the past.

Afterwards, several remnants remaining within the company were also pulled out and executed immediately. Since their level was too low and they had not yet accessed the core secrets, the harm they caused was not great.

On February 2, the company's current chairman Huang Boren and two vice-chairmen attended the performance review meeting online. The nine participants present were all the highest leaders of departments at the same level in the company.

As the representative of the company, Fatty Zhao was under tremendous pressure and made a detailed report on how temporary worker Gao Yushan was captured by Lao Zhang, a high-level traitor in the company.

Dissatisfied glances were projected one after another from the nine-square grid on the screen. The heads of those departments were undoubtedly extremely disappointed with the three directors Zhao Fangxu, Huang Boren, and Bi Youlong.

The company's main job is to manage the aliens in the country, which is much easier than their work. Even so, the efficiency is still extremely low, and it has even been infiltrated by Japanese aliens.

When the nine responsible persons learned what had happened, their expressions changed instantly. Some laughed coldly, some looked livid, and some closed their eyes and remained silent.

Including the company, there are a total of ten departments. They are responsible for all special events in the country that ordinary people cannot know about. They check and balance each other. The head of each department not only needs to be recommended by all the people in the department, but also needs to get the approval vote of at least five heads to be eligible for the position.

The secrets of Liao Zhong's death, Chen Duo's disappearance, and Feng Baobao's kidnapping were made public. In a previous chain of events, the decision to suspend Zhao Fangxu was passed by seven responsible persons at the time. Afterwards, Huang Boyen served as a substitute and succeeded as the company's chairman. People from other departments were sent to the company to help and supervise the work.

In just half a year, the company got into trouble again. Because of the special period when Behemoth was about to promote the G1 reagent, the staff from all over the company were sent out, and each department had its own urgent work tasks to deal with, so it was impossible to spare the staff and time to take over the company.

The nine responsible persons temporarily suspended the six directors of the company. In the past, they would have all been suspended, but they were asked to assist the customs in banning the entry of G1 reagents, so that they could continue to appoint, deploy plans, and dispatch regular employees from various places. The final result was that when the G1 incident was settled, the six directors and Gao Lian would be suspended, and the responsible persons of the remaining areas, including other middle and senior management, would need to be re-examined and their qualifications assessed.

The meeting lasted less than 30 minutes and ended hastily.

In response to the reports from several directors of the company, the nine responsible persons only gave cold words and roughly arranged the subsequent work direction, with strict orders that no mistakes should be made.

night.

The Tang Gate and Tang Tomb in Shu, the lights embedded in the rock walls, emit faint light, illuminating the huge cave.

A dirty and messy figure was curled up in the corner and sleeping soundly. The old man with messy white hair and haggard face was Xu Xin, one of the thirty-six thieves of Jiashen.

He had been imprisoned in the dark Tang Tomb for seventy years, wasting his time there and had become extremely decadent.

"clatter"

"clatter"

Suddenly, light footsteps were heard, and a thin, tall figure walked in from the cave entrance. Different from his usual state, the head of the cave, Tang Miaoxing, who was wearing a gray gown at this moment, had an indescribable sense of weirdness.

This uninvited guest, seeing his sworn brother sleeping on the ground like a cripple, felt mixed emotions.

The betrayal of Zhang Huaiyi and Feng Tianyang resulted in thirty-six casualties and chaos in the martial arts world. Nowadays, there is probably not even a handful of remnants left alive.

Just as Zhou Sheng, disguised as Tang Miaoxing, tried to take another step forward, the half-asleep old man threatened in a blatant voice, as if talking in his sleep:
"You are not from my Tang Sect. What do you want to do here?"

"."

There was a flash of shock in Zhou Sheng's eyes. The two of them didn't even have any formal contact, but the other party had seen through his disguise. The Tang Sect's anti-reconnaissance capability was truly amazing.

Afterwards, he quickly regained his composure, stopped talking, and introduced himself:
"Thirty-third brother, I am fifteen."

After a brief silence, just when Zhou Sheng wanted to test further, before he could even open his mouth to ask, he was met with cold ridicule.

"You are such a barking dog, are you worthy enough to try to get close to me?"

"I'm not thirty-three, I'm Xu Xin."

In an instant, a terrifying murderous aura filled the entire Tang Tomb, shocking Zhou Sheng so much that his mind trembled suddenly. His skin ached slightly, as if it was being cut by a knife.

This old man Xu Xin was completely different from what he had expected. According to what he had inquired about back then, he was clearly crippled by the Tang Sect leader. Why was he so terrible now? What had happened?
"A few years ago it was Zhang Huaiyi, and this year it's you."

"Zhou Sheng, do you want me to kill you?"

Xu Xin slowly climbed up from the corner. He was staggering, and his blood-depleted body seemed like it would collapse at any time. He was obviously extremely weak, far from the level of a supreme master, but he brought a sense of death threat to Zhou Sheng.

"Buzz!"

Almost in an instant, out of instinctive palpitations, in the first few seconds before hearing the words, Zhou Sheng decisively urged Fenghou to take control of the layout.

In an instant, a series of invisible strange substances were captured. They were as dense as sand, and there were over a hundred of them. They were only half an inch away from his eyebrows, throat, and many parts of his body.

"Alchemy?!"

Zhou Sheng was delighted at first, as he came here just for this thing. But then he was shocked and angry, as he didn't expect that after not seeing Xu Xin for many years, he was going to kill him. He almost fell for it.

“No, that’s not right.”

With a loud "boom", the invisible particles that should have been controlled and solidified in the void began to boil violently.

The moment it encountered obstruction, it was not known whether it collapsed on its own or was deliberately controlled by Xu Xin, but it suddenly exploded and turned into spreading poisonous energy, like a ghost with a bloody mouth, rushing towards the target.

"You old beast, are you really going to kill me?"

Zhou Sheng's eyes were sinister and he roared loudly. He suddenly moved to avoid the fatal blow.

In a fierce battle, he, the supreme master of magic, was unable to do anything to a disabled old ghost.

The most important thing is that the transparent particles he saw now were similar to the Danshi intelligence he had obtained not long ago, but they were completely different. They were even more powerful, weird, and hard to guard against, just like living creatures.
