Crossover Anime: In Little Garden, Becoming a God Through Once Proven, Forever Proven

He was somewhat lacking when it came to interpersonal affairs and social conventions.

As everyone was talking, the tightly shut doors opened, and Qin Qi and Chen Jinkui walked out.

"Sect Master Chen, your Six Yao Coins were truly impressive. I admit defeat."

Qin Qi spoke politely.

"No, no, young man, your Threefold Reversal was the truly impressive one. Compared to you, mine was just a minor art, a mere jianghu trick."

Chen Jinkui replied just as politely.

"Come visit my senior brother at the Lu Family when you have time. We can have tea together, have tea together."

Qin Qi said.

"All right, I'll be sure to visit."

Chen Jinkui said.

After exchanging a few more words, the two parted. Qin Qi left for the next place, while the Shuzi Sect disciples gathered around Chen Jinkui to ask what had happened.

"Ah, the Three-One Sect had Mr. Kanglong back then, and now it has produced Mr. Qin Qi. The Three-One Sect really is going to restore its former glory."

Watching Qin Qi and the others leave, Chen Jinkui recalled what a Shuzi Sect senior had told him about the Three-One Sect.

In that era, there had been only two great sects: Longhu and the Three-One Sect. And when people spoke of Three-One, they weren't talking about its members.

They were talking about Sect Master Zuo. He had truly held up an entire sect by himself! And now, what had happened back then might be about to happen again!

"Master, who won in the end? Just how good were Mr. Qin Qi's abilities?"

The eldest senior brother asked curiously.

"Who won? I can't tell you that. As for Mr. Qin Qi's abilities... I can only call them the methods of an immortal."

Chen Jinkui shook his head. He recalled how Qin Qi had conjured lightning out of thin air with a single thought, and how he had flown up from nowhere. He could absolutely be called an immortal among mortals!

"Anyway, when you see Mr. Qin Qi or anyone from the Three-One Sect in the future, you'd better be polite, or I'll slap you across the mouth."

Chen Jinkui said.

The disciples immediately grew serious. Just how formidable was Mr. Qin Qi, to make their master so serious?

[After leaving the Shuzi Sect, you went on to challenge Wudang Mountain and learn the yin and yang forces of Tai Chi Chuan.]

[After sparring with Taoist Master Yunlong of Wudang Mountain, you ran into Wudang Wang, Boss Ye, and greeted him.]

"You're too kind. I'm just a little Taoist priest; I don't deserve to be called Taoist Master. You're much too kind."

Wang Ye spoke with a smile, but before he could say much more, his master, Taoist Master Yunlong, sent him flying with a kick.

"Mr. Qin Qi, please don't mind him. That brat of mine is always like this. I'll beat him later, and I won't stop until his backside blooms."

Taoist Master Yunlong hurriedly said.

"It's all right. Taoist Master Wang Ye didn't say anything out of line. He was just saying hello. Taoist Master Yunlong, you're too nervous."

"All right, I won't disturb you. I'll be going now."

Qin Qi smiled, then turned and left with Lu Lin. Their next destination was Quanzhen's White Cloud Temple, a sect famous for cultivating both nature and life.

After Qin Qi left, Wang Ye finally picked himself up off the ground.

"Master, you sent me flying with a kick for no reason. Isn't that a bit much?"

Wang Ye rubbed his head and asked, "Speaking of which, what's Mr. Qin Qi's background?"

"He's from the Three-One Sect. As for anything else, I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Taoist Master Yunlong said as he watched Qin Qi descend the mountain.

"I've never heard of him in the circle before. How about..."

Before Wang Ye could finish, Zhou Meng appeared and launched a fierce flying kick. With that familiar move, he sent Wang Ye flying.

"Kid, don't get any crooked ideas. Not everything in this world can be divined. If you go divining recklessly, you might end up losing your life."

Zhou Meng didn't need to hear the rest of what Wang Ye was going to say to know what the kid was planning. He cut him off with a flying kick.

"Why is everyone on Wudang Mountain like this?"

Wang Ye lay on the ground, too lazy to get up. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about someone else jumping out from who knew where and giving him another flying kick.

[After leaving Wudang Mountain, you called Lu Linglong over, and she led you to Quanzhen, where you began discussing the Dao.]

"I'm too old to be throwing punches and kicks. I can't do it anymore. If you want a fight, go find that fat fellow outside. Yes, fight the fat fellow called Liu Xingyang."

"If you want to discuss nature and life, though, I can tell you a thing or two."

Fang Dongtian said, looking at Qin Qi.

"As it happens, I don't like fighting and killing either. Let's sit down and talk."

Qin Qi sat down and began his discussion with Fang Dongtian.

[In the blink of an eye, night fell. You learned a great deal here about nature and life.]

[You took your leave of Fang Dongtian, while Lu Linglong planned to stay on the mountain with him for a few days.]

[You and Lu Lin left. In the days that followed, you continued visiting the various sects and schools, and the Three-One Sect's name gradually began to spread again.]

[Meanwhile, at the Lu Family, Lu Jin received one call after another from people outside. He was both happy and excited.]

"Old Master Lu, you must remember to invite us when the Three-One Sect is rebuilt."

"Old Master Lu, the Three-One Sect has truly produced another remarkable figure."

"Old Master Lu, this Mr. Qin Qi really is..."

Those words still echoed in Lu Jin's mind, and he couldn't stop his old tears from flowing. How many years had it been?

How many years had passed since then? At last, the Three-One Sect's name was resounding again. All the sects and schools had remembered the Three-One Sect once more!

"Junior brother, you're truly remarkable, and you really have kept your promise!"

Lu Jin still remembered what Qin Qi had said in front of the Three-One Sect's cave: he had learned their art and used their connections, so naturally he had to shoulder the corresponding responsibility.

"I thought you were only saying it, that it would be years at the very least, perhaps even more than a decade, before you took action."

"But only a few days have passed, and you've already restored the Three-One Sect's reputation. Master, senior and junior brothers, can your spirits in heaven hear this?"

"The Three-One Sect hasn't perished. We still have a future!"

Lu Jin began to choke up as he spoke. Although he had insisted that the Three-One Sect hadn't perished, a sect with only one disciple...

A sect that almost no one among the younger generation outside knew about-what kind of sect was that?

But now, that illusion he had clung to was gradually becoming real. Making a name for the sect was the first step!

Next, they would recruit disciples far and wide, finding youths with the aptitude and character to take into the sect and teach Threefold Reversal.

Then they would rebuild the sect grounds and hold a rebuilding ceremony. Only then would the Three-One Sect truly be back!

[In the blink of an eye, another few days passed. You had now made the rounds of most of the sects and families.]

[Your cultivation had also improved. Of the three dantians, you had successfully finished rebuilding the lower dantian in your abdomen and the upper dantian in your brain.]

[Now only the heart remained. Once you finished rebuilding it, your Threefold Reversal would be complete, and you would no longer have any fatal weaknesses.]

"Whew... I thought the brain would be the hardest part of the three, but I never expected the heart to be the one left until last."

Qin Qi shook his head. His mind had been clear while he was in meditation, and rebuilding his brain had gone very smoothly. But the heart was different.

It was where all his energy now converged, and it was also the most complex place, making it the hardest to reconstruct.

[You had accumulated enough. All you still needed was time. You took Lu Lin to the cave where the Three-One Sect's graves lay.]

[You told Lu Lin to wait outside while you entered the cave and saw Zuo Ruotong's gravestone.]

"Master, I've come to see you."

Qin Qi sat down cross-legged and began reconstructing his heart. He hadn't come here to ask the long-dead Zuo Ruotong for a blessing.

He simply felt that breaking through to the completion of the second stage was a major event, and he ought to tell this master he had picked up along the way.

"Whew."

Qin Qi began regulating his breathing and adjusting his state of mind, bringing everything into perfect condition. The reconstruction of his heart began.

I've worked myself to the bone. I really can't take it anymore. This is the last update tonight. I'm burned out!

Chapter 57: Threefold Reversal Complete, Senior Brother, Times Have Changed!

[You began to enter a state of deep meditation. The structure of your heart, the flow of energy-everything became incomparably detailed in your perception.]

[Even the originally invisible middle dantian in your heart gradually began to appear in your mind's eye.]

[The upper dantian was located in the brain, the seat of a person's spirit. The middle dantian was in the heart, the seat of a person's qi. The lower dantian was in the abdomen, the seat of a person's essence.]

[Threefold Reversal's reconstruction of the three dantians was not a simple matter of repairing the physical body, but also of reconstructing the invisible dantians that served as sources of energy.]

[You proceeded very slowly, moving forward step by step. In the blink of an eye, a day passed, but you still had not succeeded.]

[You continued without rushing. One day, two days, three days-on the third day, you succeeded!]

"Whew!"

The turbid air was completely expelled from Qin Qi's body, and ripples began to spread across the ground and through the air around him.

The second stage of Threefold Reversal was complete. He had done it!

"First stage, skin and flesh, the strength of a dragon and tiger; second stage, sinews and bones, a vajra body; the three dantians reconstructed, the body no longer remains."

Qin Qi raised his hand, and his arm gathered and dispersed at will. With the second stage complete, he could already freely gather and disperse parts of his body.

"No, something's still lacking. There's still something that can be added."

Qin Qi was still full of energy. He hadn't slept for three days and three nights, but it hadn't affected his meditation.

Rather than growing excited over his success with the Threefold Reversal Second Stage, he sat down cross-legged again and began considering what he still lacked.

Another day passed while he pondered.

Meanwhile, Lu Lin was growing impatient outside.

"What's going on? Those ripples that appeared without any wind should have been a sign that the second stage of Threefold Reversal was complete."

"Why hasn't there been any movement from Martial Uncle now?!"

"Could something have happened? Should I go in and take a look?"

"But if Martial Uncle is at a critical juncture right now, and I go in and disturb him, it'll be terrible if I break his concentration!"

Lu Lin paced back and forth outside the cave. He didn't know what was happening inside, but by all rights, it should have been over already.

Why, then, hadn't Martial Uncle come out? He was worried something had happened to Qin Qi, but also worried that going in himself might cause something to happen to him.

He waited anxiously outside.

[You kept pondering everything in Threefold Reversal, everything you had learned, and the fundamentals of nature and life.]

[Suddenly, a thought occurred to you. You realized that the current cultivation steps of Threefold Reversal might be wrong!]

"Follow the current to evade the calamity of the cosmic reckoning; move against it to attain the art of returning to the origin!"

"The fundamental principle of Threefold Reversal is to return oneself to Innate Primordial Qi, but its steps have gone astray!"

"Lu Lin, come in! I have something to tell you!"

Qin Qi's eyes flew open. A thought had suddenly occurred to him, and he needed someone to talk to, to clarify his goal through conversation.

Lu Lin had been keeping watch outside. Hearing Qin Qi's words, he rushed in.

"Martial Uncle, are you all right?"

Lu Lin hurried inside. Seeing Qin Qi sitting upright, completely unharmed and even full of energy, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Martial Uncle, did you fail?"

Lu Lin asked.
