Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

Chapter 310 Improved Rebirth, Borrowing Fire's Essence

With her thoughts wandering, Zuo Ruotong gathered her scattered thoughts and sighed softly, "It's all about timing and luck; one can't force things."

This sigh seemed to release the intricate complexities of the Trinity Sect over the past hundreds of years, transforming it into a fleeting image reflected in the inner void.

Time flies, and the past is like smoke. The past is gone and should not be lingered on, for it is also fertile soil, containing the seeds of the future.

The future will sprout in the present and grow into the splendor that belongs to this moment.

After this sigh, Zuo Ruotong, who had been somewhat sad and gloomy, regained her vitality.

After a sigh, Zuo Ruotong straightened his back in Lü Qian's eyes. He raised his head, a smile appearing on his lips. The aura of old age that had previously surrounded him vanished, and a mysterious and ethereal Qi rose again, pushing Zuo Ruotong's aura to another level.

As the Qi flowed around him, Zuo Ruotong's originally illusory and flickering figure became more solid.

Although he was still within the realm of illusion, the subtle rejection he felt in the inner void symbolized that Zuo Ruotong's Qi flames were becoming increasingly stable. In his reverse-generation state, he was no longer dissipating but instead showing signs of gathering.

"Does the unorthodox approach, through the repulsion of the inner vision, continuously construct its innate state in order to hone itself?"

"But this path is too slow."

Lu Qian looked at Zuo Ruotong, who was hovering between reality and illusion, raised his whisk, then put it down again, giving up on offering help.

However, as the whisk rose and fell, the Qi flames that had been gathering dissipated by two parts, and Zuo Ruotong's figure swayed again, as if he would be knocked out of his inner world and return to the mortal world in the next instant.

This unstable state, though not much different from the initial state, does indeed represent a slight improvement.

Although such progress seems small and insignificant, like the steps of an ant or the speed of a snail compared to the boundless inner void, it is still real progress.

In the constant tug-of-war of such moments, Zuo Ruotong's ant-like steps moved forward at the snail's pace, accumulating small but steady progress.

"A nine-story tower begins with a pile of earth, and a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

Zuo Ruotong looked back at the boundless and vast inner void. In such an endless Great Luo Heaven, his figure was smaller than an ant.

But even in such a small body, the Qi flames rising from Zuo Ruotong's body became increasingly intense, and the misty Qi light spread in all directions, making the light even more bright and dazzling.

In the interior, which resembles a starry sky, it seems as if another star is about to rise again, a star named Zuo Ruotong.

As the morning stars twinkled, Zuo Ruotong nodded slightly, his posture becoming upright and serious. He looked at Lü Qian in front of him, his deep voice echoing in the vast inner void.

He was preaching the Dharma, proclaiming his own path, and expounding on his way to continue the Trinity.

"Those who defy the cycle of rebirth seek one by transforming ten thousand into three, and that one is the primordial, innate Qi."

"This path unites the body with the spirit, yet it disregards life and nature. Without life and nature, one loses one's physical body and spirit, and scatters one's soul."

"To improve, you need to borrow your own innate fire."

"This fire is called Samadhi."

……

Lu Qian sat cross-legged opposite Zuo Ruotong, listening attentively to the principles Zuo Ruotong was explaining, his mind following Zuo Ruotong's words.

The two discussed the Dao and expounded on the Dao, without any extraordinary phenomena such as heavenly flowers or golden lotuses springing from the ground, nor any runes that shook the inner realm. It was just an ordinary chat between friends.

But even in such an ordinary atmosphere, the starlight surrounding Zuo Ruotong became increasingly pure, and that innate, natural aura was constantly refined and purified as her inner vision was polished.

A single word or two can reveal profound truths; why bother with thousands of books on alchemy?

In a short while, Zuo Ruotong finished explaining her method of improvement, and then patiently waited while Lü Qian closed his eyes to deduce.

"call--"

"Fellow Daoist Zuo, your method draws heavily on the techniques of the Xuanmen (Taoist school)."

In a few breaths, Lü Qian reopened his eyes, his pupils opening instantly filled with a misty white aura that then vanished without a trace.

"The thunder magic of Longhu Mountain, the true meaning of Tai Chi of Wudang, and the Samadhi Pure Yang of Quanzhen Longmen—in order to gather the foundation for improving the Reverse Life Triple Stage, Fellow Daoist Zuo has visited quite a few mountain sects."
