Chapter 29: There will be successors!

~6 min read 1,130 words

At this moment, Zuo Ruotong’s heart was torn apart.

Although after the conversation with Li Ang at the beginning, combined with the problems he encountered during his practice, he had already faintly guessed the truth that the Three-One Return to Origin could not become an immortal.

But before breaking through to the third stage himself, he had always been holding on to a breath.

But now, this breath was gone.

This Great Ease Immortal slowly landed on the ground, his face instantly aging like a hundred-year-old man.

He said to Li Ang in a withered voice: "Go and gather the sect members..."

Facing his Master’s instructions, Li Ang stood still.

Seeing that he didn't move, Zuo Ruotong’s wrinkled face showed a touch of fatigue: "Why, you haven't been in the sect for long, and you don't want to listen to me?"

Hearing this, Li Ang still stood still, and it wasn't until a moment later that he said: "Master, please run the profound technique again. The survival of the Three-One Sect depends entirely on your thought."

Zuo Ruotong stumbled to a big tree and sat down against the trunk.

He didn't run the Three-One Return to Origin according to Li Ang’s words, but instead lowered his head extremely tiredly: "What you said before you entered the sect was right."

"False is false after all, the Three-One Return to Origin cannot reach the heavens after all."

"It’s just a bubble after all..."

Saying this, he sighed long.

If he could, Zuo Ruotong, as the Three-One Sect Leader, hoped more than anyone that his conclusion was wrong.

After a moment of silence, Li Ang didn't intend to debate with his Master on the issue of the Three-One Return to Origin; after all, their attainments in this were not on the same level.

He asked a question in a calm tone: "Master, if you just leave like this, do you think Martial Uncle Si Chong and Senior Brother Cheng Zhen will go to Wu Gensheng?"

"I don't think the two of them can survive in the hands of that All-Nature Sect Leader."

"Or do you think that everything that happened here today won't spread out?"

Facing his disciple’s counter-question, Zuo Ruotong couldn't help but be silent.

Just from the short time they fought, he knew the All-Nature Sect Leader’s methods better than anyone.

To put it bluntly, except for him, anyone else in the entire Three-One Sect would die if they encountered the other party.

Li Ang knew that the method he was using now was nothing more than moral kidnapping. Knowing the plot, he stood from a God’s perspective and was definitely clearer about what would happen later than his Master.

As it happened, Zuo Ruotong couldn't harden his heart to treat his sect members as straw dogs.

"Martial Uncle Si Chong and Senior Brother Cheng Zhen will definitely go to Wu Gensheng to prove the third stage."

"If the two of them die, our Three-One will really be at odds with All-Nature."

"If we lose your care, then..."

Li Ang didn't finish his words, just shook his head slightly and closed his mouth.

He believed his Master could understand his unfinished words.

The open space fell into silence for a time.

Seeing Zuo Ruotong didn't speak for a long time, Li Ang couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart:

'Is the result going to return to the starting point after all? Is there really such a thing as correction force?'

Just as he was having wild thoughts, Zuo Ruotong smiled: "You child, you haven't been in the sect for long, but you are more worried about the future of the Three-One Sect than I am."

Saying this, he raised his head and looked at Li Ang, asking seriously: "Don't you hate that the Three-One Sect is a fake profound sect?"

Hearing this, Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart; he knew Zuo Ruotong had been shaken.

He wasn't shaken on the fact that the Three-One Return to Origin couldn't reach the heavens, but on the fact that he would just let go and ignore the Three-One Sect.

And for Li Ang, whether the Three-One Return to Origin could reach the heavens wasn't important.

For one thing, he learned the Three-One Return to Origin to protect himself, and for another...

He had a job panel.

Thinking this, he immediately ran the Three-One Return to Origin and stepped forward: "Master, true or false, it doesn't matter."

"The Three-One Sect cannot be without you!"

Looking at Li Ang, who was white all over, Zuo Ruotong was stunned for a moment.

He could naturally see that the cultivation of this disciple who hadn't been in the sect for long had improved much more in the Three-One Return to Origin compared to the previous period.

But is there really anyone in the world whose talent can be so terrifying?

Just as Zuo Ruotong was lost in thought, Li Ang continued: "Master, I will prove it, prove that the Three-One Return to Origin is not just an art!"

How to make someone who has lost their spirit cheer up again.

It’s simple: create a new hope and hang it in front of him.

Li Ang was doing just that now.

The most critical thing was that he felt that he, who possessed the job panel, was really likely to do it.

It was also at this time that Li Ang finally understood why the requirement for 【Qi Refiner (Three-One)】 to change to 【Immortal】 was to complete a ritual with the element of 'Truth and Falsehood'.

"There will be successors!"

"Master, you said it yourself!"

Under Li Ang’s persuasion, which combined the sect members and the Three-One Return to Origin, Zuo Ruotong finally made a move.

He barely supported his body, walked to Li Ang’s side, and patted his shoulder hard: "Since that’s the case, then you go and prove it to me."

With the action, Zuo Ruotong’s withered body gradually returned to the state of being filled with true Qi not long ago.

Seeing this, Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief; he knew he had succeeded.

Perhaps there was a reason for his words just now, but I’m afraid a larger part was because Zuo Ruotong had figured out that if he passed away like this, the disciples in the sect today would probably not end well.

Just when Li Ang thought the matter was over, Zuo Ruotong beside him suddenly said: "Go and notify your Martial Uncle Si Chong and Senior Brother Cheng Zhen to come and see me, just say I have something to say."

"...I understand, Master."

Li Ang didn't know what Zuo Ruotong was going to do, so he could only nod and agree. ===== CHAPTER 31 =====
