Chapter 24: The Fated Quanxing Genius!

Having known Zhang Zhiwei for so many years, Lu Jin instantly guessed what Zhang Zhiwei meant.

Yet he was perfectly content with it.

San Yi Men was once a major orthodox sect of the Xuanmen, and although its core scripture was Ni Sheng San Chong, it also possessed techniques learned from other schools.

Unlike Bai Jia Fan.

True Bai Jia Fan refers to individuals like Wang Zhenqiu and Ding Jiang’an—those who never followed a proper lineage, studied arts from countless schools, and forged their own path.

Among orthodox Xuanmen sects, exchanging Dao methods, insights, and realizations with other sects was perfectly normal; the only unchanging element was the core doctrine of one’s own sect.

Lu Jin inherited Luo Fu’s Ni Sheng San Chong, ensuring Luo Fu continued San Yi Men’s lineage—Luo Fu’s primary master could only be one. But beyond that, teachers or learning masters could be many.

For example, Quanzhen practiced dual cultivation of nature and life, cultivating Yang Shen; Longhu Zhengyi practiced Thunder Law. Zhengyi’s Thunder Law differed from Shenshao’s—it was shorthand for Tianxin Wu Lei Zheng Fa. Had modern technology not emerged, in ancient times, Tianxin Wu Lei Zheng Fa was famed as Heaven’s instrument of punishment!!

The core of San Yi Men was undoubtedly Ni Sheng San Chong.

Even Lu Jin, who had longed to rebuild San Yi Men until it became an obsession, had also studied Tong Tian Lu.

This shows that exchanges of Dao methods among major orthodox Xuanmen sects were entirely normal.

Even holding the status of a nominal disciple in another sect was perfectly normal. Such master-disciple relationships were those of learning master and student.

Otherwise, how would the generational ranks between Quanzhen and Zhengyi be determined? They were established through mutual exchange, passed down generation after generation.

If Zhang Zhiwei accepting Luo Fu’s identity as San Yi Men’s heir merely signified acknowledging San Yi Men’s status within the orthodox Xuanmen, then having Luo Fu become a nominal disciple under Tian Jinzhong truly integrated him into the Daoist lineage hierarchy.

San Yi Men’s lineage had been broken; Luo Fu, inheriting its transmission, had disrupted the generational order within the Xuanmen. This could not be resolved by Zhang Zhiwei casually calling himself Luo Fu’s senior uncle and expecting all major sects to accept it.

Both Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Jin independently felt they needed to strengthen their nature cultivation. Luo Fu himself also sensed this.

Do not forget: his entire power base originated from Uchiha Luofu and Demon Slayer Luofu of the Shinobi World.

The Uchiha bloodline can be seen as a hereditary trait embedded within psychotic genes. Even though the latter awakened past memories through the Shared Space, his temperament remained dangerously unstable.

In essence, the three individuals from different worlds now within the Shared Space faced the same predicament: deficiencies in nature cultivation and mental discipline.

This was even more critical than acquiring powerful, endlessly versatile techniques like the Eight Marvelous Techniques.

Nature cultivation directly enhances mental discipline and spiritual power.

This was precisely what Uchiha Luofu and Demon Slayer Luofu desperately needed.

The Sharingan enhanced spiritual power but offered zero benefit to mental discipline; instead, it constantly risked driving one to extremes or into demonic paths.

In the expectant gazes of Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Jin,

Luo Fu strode forward to Tian Jinzhong and bowed deeply in full reverence, saying: “Disciple Luo Fu, pays homage to Master Tian!!”

“Good! Good! Good!!” Tian Jinzhong’s face flushed with excitement, beaming with joy: “Good child, rise! Rise!! I’m a broken man now—I can offer little guidance in life cultivation. But in nature cultivation, even your senior brothers cannot match me. I cannot break sect rules by revealing Longhu Mountain’s secret techniques, but I will impart all my lifetime’s experience in stillness cultivation!! Learn as much as Itachi can!!”

“Thank Itachi, Master Tian!!” Luo Fu kowtowed repeatedly, solidifying his master-disciple bond with Tian Jinzhong under the witness of Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Jin.

Luo Fu becoming Tian Jinzhong’s nominal disciple required no grand ceremony.

Zhang Zhiwei and Lu Jin’s witness was sufficient—it did not demand the strict triad of ordaining master, introducing master, and witnessing master.

After Luo Fu and Tian Jinzhong established their master-disciple bond,

Zhang Lingyu stepped forward and bowed to Luo Fu: “Congratulations, younger brother!!”

“Thank Itachi, elder brother!!” Luo Fu returned the bow, then turned to Zhang Zhiwei and clasped his fists: “Disciple pays respects to Senior Uncle!”

“Good! Very good!!” Zhang Zhiwei smiled, stroking his beard.

Before the Luo Tian Da Jiao officially began, Luo Fu had become a nominal disciple of Longhu Mountain under Tian Jinzhong, studying stillness cultivation.

Tian Jinzhong’s terrifying seventy-year stillness cultivation was indeed formidable—his nature cultivation had been honed to an astonishing degree.

Even within just a few days, Luo Fu felt his mental discipline improving rapidly under Tian Jinzhong’s guidance. Though nature cultivation’s advancement did not yield immediate visible gains, it propelled him significantly closer to perfect mastery of his own power.

Most notably, the Seven Sins Eye, when wielded by Luo Fu, gained at least a thirty percent increase in power.

Even Zhang Lingyu was affected by the Seven Sins’ power under Luo Fu’s gaze.

With Tian Jinzhong’s guidance, Luo Fu began using the Seven Sins’ power to refine his own mental discipline—using pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust to polish himself.

The Seven Sins naturally aligned with the Three Corpses, allowing Luo Fu to completely avoid the risk of Three Demons Sect’s corpse demons going berserk.

To some extent, Luo Fu now was an enhanced version of the Quanxing Four Madmen plus Corpse Demon Tu Junfang—and this was merely one facet of his power.

Even Lu Jin could not help but sigh: thank heaven Luo Fu was devoted to the Dao and, after awakening his innate talent, quickly mastered his mental discipline and found the Lu family. Otherwise, left to his own devices,

Luo Fu’s abilities were clearly destined by Heaven to be the ultimate Quanxing genius! Had he joined Quanxing, he could have single-handedly elevated its entire strength.

As Luo Fu immersed himself in nature cultivation, the Luo Tian Da Jiao finally began.

Luo Fu participated as a disciple of San Yi Men.

Both Lu Jin and Tian Jinzhong held great expectations for Luo Fu.

Even Zhang Zhiwei had to admit: had Zhang Lingyu faced Luo Fu early in the Luo Tian Da Jiao, he would have had no choice but to surrender.

Fortunately, Luo Fu’s participation in the Luo Tian Da Jiao served not only to formally revive San Yi Men’s banner and announce its return to the Yiren world, but more importantly, to gain experience and elevate his nature cultivation through sparring with rising talents.

Yes!!

Combat and duels were an indispensable part of nature cultivation. Otherwise, why would orthodox sects regularly have their disciples spar with one another?
