Chapter 53 Finding the Right Balance
a few days later.
When Zhuge Yan slowly opened his eyes, he was greeted by an unfamiliar ceiling.
"Where am I?"
A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Before he could even look around, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Yan-ge! You're awake!!!"
Zhuge Yan turned his head and saw his cousin Zhuge Yun looking at him with a delighted expression.
"Ah Yun..."
"Brother Yan, it's me! Don't move, I'll go find Master right now!"
While giving instructions to Zhuge Yan, Zhuge Yun excitedly ran out of the room.
"Master! Master! Brother Yan is awake!!!"
"Hey, wait a minute..."
Zhuge Yan instinctively tried to get up and stop him, but the moment he tried to move his body, a piercing pain swept over him.
The intense pain caused his vision to suddenly go black, and he almost fainted from the pain again!
"hiss!!!"
Zhuge Yan gasped, then quickly and obediently abandoned the idea of getting up.
The tearing pain in his meridians instantly brought him back to his senses, and he finally remembered what had happened!
"As expected, with my current skill level, I'm not yet able to activate the Mysterious Mechanism and Reverse Life simultaneously?"
That day, after his master Zuo Ruotong taught him the mental techniques and incantations for the three levels of Reverse Life, Zhuge Yan immediately began constructing the "Reverse Life" technique.
With his experience in constructing mysteries, coupled with his innate ability to control his body, constructing "reverse life" was almost a piece of cake for him.
The only difference is that the route of Qi circulation is slightly changed.
In just half an incense stick's time, Zhuge Yan had already successfully mastered the first level of the Reverse Life Triad.
However, it was precisely because things went too smoothly that he had the idea of trying to activate both states at the same time.
As for the result, it's obvious.
Maintaining the triple reversal of life had already taken a lot of Zhuge Yan's energy, and the price of multitasking was a decrease in his control over his own true qi, and the qi that activated the mystery almost went out of control!
If it weren't for the powerful self-healing ability of the Reverse Life Triple, the moment Xuanji lost control would have taken his life!
You should know that the key to the mystery lies in the brain, which is the most vulnerable part of the human body, without exception!
"Is it really only possible, as Master said, through years of cultivation, to eventually make maintaining reverse aging as instinctive as breathing?"
While thinking about this, Zhuge Yan also activated the Reverse Life Triple Technique once again.
As his skin and hair gradually turned white, a mysterious white aura began to swirl around him.
"Fortunately, the Reverse Life Triple Technique is still usable, so it seems that the meridians in my body have not completely collapsed."
Thinking of this, Zhuge Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not undo the Reverse Life Triple Effect, but maintained it as it was.
Firstly, maintaining the reverse life force can help him enhance his body's self-healing ability. Even if it's only at the first level, the self-healing ability it brings is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Secondly, Zhuge Yan had already decided that from now on he would maintain this state year after year, just like his master Zuo Ruotong.
He never doubted the authenticity of his master Zuo Ruotong's words, not only because the other party was the highly respected "Da Ying Immortal".
Imagine that the reason why Master Zuo Ruotong has been able to maintain his reverse life for so many years is because he made a mistake while practicing his skills when he was young, and he had to rely on the triple reverse life to forcibly "extend his life"!
This raises a question: people always need rest.
Since Master has persisted for so many years, it means that even in his dreams, he has never been able to break free from the "reverse life"!
This is the best evidence!
If one day Zhuge Yan could be like his master Zuo Ruotong, then simultaneously activating the Xuanji and Reverse Life states would no longer be difficult.
Just as Zhuge Yan was pondering to himself, a familiar sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
Zhuge Yan turned his head and saw his master, Zuo Ruotong, enter the room and slowly walk towards him.
Lu Jin and Zhuge Yun followed closely behind him.
Upon seeing the "reverse growth" on Zhuge Yan's body, Zuo Ruotong was slightly taken aback, and then couldn't help but smile and shake her head.
"You've already activated 'Reverse Rebirth' as soon as you woke up, you little rascal, are you so eager to continue cultivating?"
"Master..."
Zhuge Yan struggled to sit up in bed, wanting to bow to Zuo Ruotong.
"Alright, you're already injured like this, so let's not worry about these formalities."
Zuo Ruotong waved her hand, and the next second, a gentle force pressed Zhuge Yan's half-erect body back onto the bed.
"How are you feeling?"
"It's alright, at least I can still use the Reverse Life Triple Technique."
Zhuge Yan forced a smile.
"What do you mean 'still okay'? Do you know you just barely escaped death this time?!"
"If it weren't for your master using his treasured elixirs and herbs to keep you alive, you probably would have lost your life that day!"
Lu Jin said with an annoyed expression.
"Hey, what's going on with you? You don't look like someone who failed to break through to the first level..."
Lu Jin had been wondering if Zhuge Yan's failure to break through to the first level was the reason he looked like that.
However, upon entering and seeing that Zhuge Yan was able to freely activate the Reverse Life Triple Realm, this idea was instantly dispelled.
In other words, the reason he became like that was not because he cultivated the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage, but because of something else!
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yan did not immediately answer Lu Jin's question. Instead, he thanked Zuo Ruotong, who was by the bedside, saying, "Thank you, Master, for saving my life!"
"It is only natural for a master to save his disciple. Moreover, it was I who dragged you onto this path in the first place, so I should be even more responsible for you."
Hearing Zuo Ruotong's gentle tone, Zhuge Yan couldn't help but feel a warm current flowing through his heart.
Regardless of whether the path he was on was right or wrong, he was certain that he had not made a mistake in choosing his master.
"Senior Brother Lu, you guessed right. The reason I became like that was not entirely because of cultivating the Reverse Life Triple Realm."
"What do you mean?"
Lu Jin was slightly taken aback.
Seeing the troubled look on Zhuge Yan's face, Zuo Ruotong suddenly interrupted:
"Alright, Jin'er, everyone has their own secrets. There's no need to keep digging into it."
Do you remember what I taught you? In dealing with people and situations, you must always be mindful of your boundaries.
"Yes... Master, I understand."
Lu Jin opened her mouth, but ultimately did not press the matter further.
"Now that you're awake, Yan'er, the rest is easy."
With the Triple Rejuvenation Technique protecting you, this injury shouldn't be a big problem.
